Leaning against the wall of the health room, the ancient city was trembling. I tried to call their mobile phones, but all I heard was an inorganic voice telling them that they were outside the circle.

The information that the Black Death Emperor faction kidnapped them should be not wrong.

The ancient city knew very well that everything was happening as he expected. Now that Shallot has been captured, she should have been asked to crack the starting wooden form of 'Narakwila', and Yukina and the others were captured as hostages.

There's no time, you have to act now.

Fortunately, Astarut told himself that he knew the base of the 'Black Death Emperor Faction' that month, and now what he and Saya Hua had to do was to tell her the information about the kidnapping of Yukina and the others, and work together to stop the conspiracy of the 'Black Death Emperor Faction' and rescue Yukina and the others.

However, this is easier said than done. He didn't even know where Nangong Nayue was, but that didn't stop Gucheng's determination to save Yukina.

There is no time left, you have to act now.

……

The island is made up of four super-large floating structures in the north, east, south, and north, but in fact there are many other smaller expansion units around the island.

For example, offshore oil tanks for storing crude oil, floating docks for ship repairs, or waste disposal silos for storing non-combustible garbage. The addition of an artificial island to the 13th Xianshen Island is one of the kind of garbage treatment facilities under construction.

"—Excuse me, guest, I can't go any further. The road was blocked by the police. ”

A little ahead of the artificial island connected to the coast, the taxi driver parked his car. Sitting in the back seat, Sayaka and Gururo leaned out to take a look at the scenery ahead.

A fan-shaped land with a radius of about five kilometers jutting out to the sea.

It is reminiscent of the reclamation under construction, and it is simply flat and vast. However, unlike the reclamation, the entire land is covered with thick steel plates.

The side of the bridge connecting the artificial island was indeed placed with a barricade that intersected yellow and black.

"In the rumors among our drivers, it is said that an internationally wanted terrorist has been found. You hear, you can hear it, the voice. Well, it's gunshots. I was in the Civil War Zone in Shimabara before I started this job, so I know very well. ”

The driver said this, shrugging at the staccato cracking sound coming through the window.

Saya Hua: "Ha——, I see" nodded casually.

"I see, thank you. We're down here. ”

"Okay. Eight hundred and ninety yen. ”

The driver didn't particularly want to persuade them to turn back, and just asked for the fare.

For the high school male and female duo who smell blood all over their bodies and are holding strange instrument boxes. There's no way to get involved with such a person-

"Do you hear that, Xiao Gucheng?"

"Listen to your sister! One person pays half. Less nonsense, go! ”

However, thanks to the extravagant blessing of a taxi, the travel time was greatly shortened. It only took 15 minutes to get here from school. In front of the vast artificial island, the wreckage of the downed helicopter is still burning. And then in the drifting white smoke, the shootout continued.

"It's already in a mess with the guards...... Shootout...? ”

Listening to the incessant gunshots, the ancient city, which could not vent its anxiety, murmured.

On the artificial islands under construction, there are cranes and monitoring towers for construction, which are erected everywhere like rotten wood. The largest of these towers is a cylindrical building with a height of five stories.

Surrounding the watchtower, several armored vehicles with thick armor plates were deployed there.

The mobile team members of the SAR garrison hid behind the car and fired indiscriminately at the tower with small-caliber guns. At that time, the surveillance tower was constantly counterattacking, and the fierce gun battle seemed to be in a stalemate.

The surveillance tower was littered with the wreckage of the destroyed armored vehicles, and the number of wounded was not small. It is the so-called quagmire war of attrition. This is not a situation where people like Gucheng can show their faces without nerves.

Of course, this is just the eyes of others, and the ancient city, which is the fourth true ancestor, is itself the root of the battle.

"It looks like the terrorists are fighting a siege."

Looking at the current battle situation calmly, Saya Hua said so.

"Defending a city in a place like this, are those guys stupid?"

The ancient city cast a puzzled look at her.

With no support from friendly forces to be expected, and limited weapons and ammunition, the Black Death Emperor's defense of the city can be said to be of no benefit at all. It was inconceivable that Sister Gard, who was originally an army colonel, would choose such a stupid tactic.

However, Saya Hua pointed to the wreckage of the helicopter that continued to burn,

"Did the terrorists plan to use that to escape? However, because the helicopter was shot down by the SAR garrison, there was no means of escape. ”

"So you're in this dilemma?"

Yes, the ancient city made a nasal sound. Sayahua's explanation makes some sense. Criminals who are chased to a dead end use the nearest building to resist stubbornly, which is a typical routine.

However, although it cannot be expressed in words, there is still a faint and wonderful sense of disobedience in the heart of the ancient city.

"But if what you're saying is true, then Caldesius is really stupid! Isn't it intentional to let the helicopter land in such an open and conspicuous place—""

"Technique, technique. Confuse the police with an evil eye, turn into fog and pass through, or fly up or something. ”

"Not at all, at least not yet!"

"Huh? You're the true ancestor of vampires, right? ”

Saya Hua looked back at the honest and honest ancient city dumbly.

"It wasn't that long ago that I was human."

"Where's the beast!? Among the twelve beasts of the Fourth True Ancestor, are there no children who are capable of being a little more reliable? ”

"Yes, but they don't listen to me."

"What ......"

Saya increased the strength of her left hand to hold the sword.

"Could it be that the Psychic Medium that the Duke of Aldiaru is referring to is this ......!? Yukina made you suck blood to prevent the beasts from running wild? ”

"That's right."

Standing there, Saya Hua, who was invaded by a feeling of dizziness, stepped back lightly and weakly. She was speechless.

In the end, she seemed to have made a decision, raising her eyebrows and glaring at the police officers who were blocking the road.

"I totally understand that you can't be relied on at all. In that case, I can only ...... on my own."

"Apologize, don't move yet." A sentence interrupted Sayaka, and the ancient city immediately picked her up.

"You... What are you doing? Saya Hua, who was picked up by the ancient city, stiffened because she was too surprised. Then he got two blush on his face and began to struggle. "Hate, let go of me!"

Focusing his strength on his feet, the ancient city began to run towards the artificial island with a posture of holding Sayaka.

The police blocked only the liaison bridge that connected to the artificial island.

In other words, as long as you don't use the contact bridge, you can get there from anywhere.

The distance between the main body of the island and the artificial island is about eight meters. Even if you are an ordinary human, an Olympian who runs and jumps a long jump can easily leap a distance.

Not to mention the ancient cities whose capabilities far exceed the limits of human beings. Even if you have a burden on you, it's a breeze.

When she easily reached the artificial island, Sayaka hurriedly jumped down.

"What, what, what...... What have you done!? ”

……

As we passed the bend, a familiar voice reached the ears of the ancient city.

In front of their eyes in the ancient city, a lump of lace suddenly appeared. And it's like coming out of the void that there is, and the way it appears abruptly.

It seems that the sun umbrella is very expensive, and the black dress skirt that is overly decorated-in this ever-summer Xianshen Island, there is only one person who dresses like this in the ancient city's known range-

Nangong that month

"Didn't I say you don't need to interfere? It seems that you are especially favored by the Lion King! ”

What is this! The ancient city thought depressedly.

"Is it Wu Weiyuan this time?"

Boom Boom –

A roar similar to an explosion grabbed the ears of everyone present.

The reverberation of the additional artificial island in the hollow area caused a violent shaking like an earthquake.

The explosion took place in the same surveillance tower that the Black Death Emperor was stubbornly resisting. The tower, with its exposed steel beams, was enveloped in flames, and scattered fragments rained down on the heads of the SAR guards who surrounded the tower.

"What's that?"

"Oh, I don't know very well, but I'm afraid it's bad, this situation."

From behind them, overwhelmed by the mutations, there was a teasing and sarcastic laugh.

When I turned around and went back to the ancient city, I saw a beautiful blonde young man in a pure white three-piece dress-

"You goddamn snake charmer!"

"Why are you here!?"

Turning around and seeing Dimitoriye Vatora smiling lewdly, Guru and Sayaka shouted out at the same time.

Natsuki frowned unhappily as well.

"What's the matter, snake charmer?"

"Well, I'll talk about it later, wouldn't it be better to let your troops retreat before that? Anyway, Gardesius wasn't here either. The rest of the guys are just bait. ”

Wattola pulled down her sunglasses a little and narrowed her beautiful blue eyes mischievously.

That moon stared at him with a twisted impeccable beauty,

"Bait? What are the benefits of concentrating the SAR garrison here? ”

"That's because of the need for a target, of course. For the performance test of the weapon that has just started. You haven't forgotten what the Black Death Emperor sent to this island, have you? ”

“…… Weapons!? ”

At that moment, Nayue's expression froze.

The questions that swirled in the depths of the ancient city's brain finally became clear.

A helicopter that has no chance of winning, and is easily shot down. If the purpose of the Black Death Emperor faction is to gather the mobile team of the SAR garrison here and annihilate it.

Hidden in the empty underground of this artificial island is-

"-Narakwila!?"

As if in response to the call of the ancient city, a huge figure swept away the rubble and appeared.

Then the ancient city saw it, and the figure swept the ground with a red flash.

The armored car, swept by the flash, was easily cut open like a thin paper toy, and exploded and scattered with the violent firelight. (Markne)
