"Kozmo ......"

"Zona ......," Kozmo muttered.

"Why are you here? I...... I don't know why, but I just learned that I'm safe now, so you don't have to worry. Zona smiled and comforted.

"Silly girl, how can I not be worried? Alright, I'll tell you something......" Kozmo stopped talking, knowing it was for her own good, but couldn't say anything.

"What?" Zona struggled to stand up against the wall, the shackles on her feet clanging, and she didn't care, dragging over to Kozmo.

Kozmo thought about it and said it, he tried to make up a statement to get her to cooperate, but when he came, he pondered again and again, and he couldn't tell her the truth.

"Zona, I told you not to get excited. They didn't ask you to sign the confession before, you signed it first. Kozmo said, holding her hand through the bars.

"What?" Zona's hand pressed his hand tightly.

"You listen to me, I promise you won't have any problems. No matter how many years they sentence, if you give me three months, I will have a way to get you out. Kozmo said in a suppressed voice.

"Sure enough, someone didn't want me to die. Brother, just tell me who arranged for you to come here today and what you're going to do. Zona asked.

"Not now, you believe me, I won't lie to you. Also, Ian is safe, and we're working towards the same goal right now. You're here as part of their plan, and while I can't tell you right now why they framed you in, we're working to eliminate the trespassers, so you're waiting for our news. Kozmo said the sentence he had prepared in one breath, quietly waiting for Zona's response.

"Is Ian really okay, that's great......" he gripped Kozmo's hand tighter.

Although Kozmo was unhappy with Zona holding his hand and saying Ian's name, he couldn't help but feel distressed when he looked at the red marks on her hands that were restrained by the handcuffs.

"I've really wronged you, you little girl has to bear so much." Kozmo sighed as he touched her head.

"It's okay, I was still full of grievances, but when you say that, I feel a little bit of a profit." Zona smiled optimistically.

Kozmo smiled bitterly, he couldn't bear Zona's suffering, let alone his own powerlessness, seeing her still smiling, only he understood the taste in his heart now.

"Then I'm going to make a good repair here, so I must destroy all the intruders outside. I don't know what you're going to do, or what you're doing isn't going to be dangerous, but I want to see you and Ian come and get me free in one piece, okay? Zona forced a smile, she really didn't want Kozmo to worry.

"Hmm." Kozmo nodded, he didn't want to say anything at this point, he just wanted to pick her up as soon as possible.

"Retractor." Zona childishly stretched out her little hand.

"Good......" Kozmo trembled and reached over.

"What, brother, did you have a stroke? Hahaha...... "Zona lightly stamped the "seal" and teased with a smile.

"How is that possible...... I'm leaving, go for me...... Our promise went to work! Zona, trust me. Kozmo already felt a little sour in the corners of his eyes, he felt as if he couldn't stay any longer, he wasn't as optimistic as Zona.

"Goodbye, Kozmo! I wish you success! Zona shouted.

"Definitely." Kozmo muttered to himself.

Zona watched him leave, and watched the iron gates close one by one.

She was a little confused, she didn't know what supported her optimism.

Or maybe it's pretended...... So optimistic.

She sat down against the wall, tears streaming down her face.

He was like a victim, he had known this for a long time, and he had been prepared for a long time, but ...... I lost my freedom like this, but there was still some hope.

She wiped her tears, yes, at least she knew Ian's whereabouts, but she never learned his optimism, she was just deceiving herself.

"I don't have that optimism, but at least I'm still that strong."

But isn't Ian's optimism self-deception?

Ian rented a motorbike and made it all the way to his destination.

It was a town in the sand, and he drove west along the capital of Mortic for a long time, until the sun was going down and he arrived here, the town of Canaan.

Although it is too hot here, it does not stop people from living in peace. He rode slowly to the address on the note.

"That's it, right?" Ian looked at the note repeatedly, carefully confirming the destination.

He made sure it was correct, and then went up and knocked on the door.

"Is anyone there?" Ian asked softly.

The door opened with a bang, and a person poked out, Ian looked at him, his slightly dark skin seemed to be covered by the scorching sun, and his two big eyes looked at him attentively.

"Are you ......," the man asked.

"My name is Ian...... It's a guy named Tattoo, and I'm coming to you......" Ian said.

"Great, you're finally here! I'm waiting for you here, and I'll see what the hell the weather is for me! The man happily pulled Ian into the room.

"I'm sorry, I'm delayed." Ian smiled awkwardly, his procrastination seemed to be getting worse again.

"Little thing, sit down and I'll get some drinks." He greeted Ian warmly. "Come on, by the way, I haven't introduced myself yet, my name is Leon."

"Thank you." Ian took the wine he handed him.

"I'm going straight to the topic, I heard Garwen say that you've fused with the Eye of Life, and now you're 10% fused. I'll take you to a place where you can improve your integration faster. Leon said.

"It's 13% now, and when I came to meet a sparring partner, although I couldn't beat him, I still improved my integration a little bit. However, what is the degree of fusion, the first 10% of the previous tattoo is the physiological fusion of oneself and the eye of life, so what is the latter fusion? I didn't get it either. Ian asked.

"The fusion in the back is more of an affirmation of you by the eye of life, that is, merging with you spiritually. Okay, I can't wait any longer, let's go straight to the road. Leon couldn't hold it anymore and gave Ian a brief explanation.

"What are we going to do?" Ian asked, taking a sip of his wine, standing up.

"Come with me, change and talk." He walked to the door, followed by Ian.

"It's your car, isn't it?" Leon patted the seat of the car, but then smiled back: "But you can't ride this, take my car." ”

Leon unveiled a large canvas-wrapped square in the doorway, and an off-road vehicle appeared in front of Ian. He dragged a large box out of a nearby hut. "This thing...... It's a bit heavy. ”

Ian hurriedly went up to help, but Leon said recklessly: "This little thing, I have no problem." ”

……

"Three, two, one. Ah, no, it's too heavy. The two of them worked together to carry the box into the car.

"What's in here, why is it so heavy." Ian wiped his sweat and looked at Leon feebly.

"This is the research facility and our secret equipment that will be used in a moment." Ian took a closer look, and there were a few big words written on it - produced by the Apos Group.

They can bring this thing out of the country, it's also Niu B.

"Let's go, get in the car." Leon said.

"Where are we going?" Ian asked.

The car started quickly and quickly disappeared into the setting sun. All that remained was Leon's exaggerated laughter.

"A trip into the unknown, a wonderful massacre, hahaha."

Kozmo arrived at the meeting point with Ilia, and since returning from prison, he went to an Internet café to play games for a day, playing and drinking.

I don't know how many games I lost or how much I drank.

During this period, Ilia came to several phone calls, but he didn't seem to dare to answer, he didn't know how to tell Ilia about it, or maybe the alcohol suppressed his normal thinking.

Sleep, wake up.

"Illya, you listen to me first." Kozmo looked at Iliya's dead eyes and said preemptively.

"Okay, I'd like to hear what you want to do?" Illya looked indifferent.

"You don't have to meddle in Zona's affairs, I know you're not at ease, but I've already taken care of it. No matter how many years she is sentenced, I can take her out in three months. Kozmo said.

"Is the prison run by your family? Tell me what's going on? Ilia asked.

"Ian is also safe, and he is also trying to eliminate the trespassers, but it is different from your method." Kozmo didn't answer the question, ignoring Ilia's question.

"What the hell is going on? It was just one night, and it felt like everything was strange. Illya didn't ask any more questions, he knew he wouldn't say anything he wouldn't say.

"Since you say anything, I can only trust you, you won't mess around, right?" Ilia asked feebly.

"Don't worry." Kozmo reassured.

"What's next?" Ilia asked in a low voice, a softer voice.

"I'm already involved in a big thing, so I'm going to do something different in the future, and I'm afraid I'll implicate you if I don't tell you. Well, it's not a violation of the law, let's deal with the trespassers in another way in another organization. Kozmo explained.

"What, I thought you were going to keep it a secret? I was afraid that I would be involved, and my friends, my brother, and perhaps my father, were all involved in the bloody storm brought by the intruders, and I ......" Illia was a little excited when she heard this, and Kozmo quickly interrupted her.

"Don't worry, it's going to be over soon, don't worry." Kozmo said.

"Really?" Ilia asked urgently.

"Definitely, I've seen it, our future ......"

Ian's vision was greeted by a windswept castle, and it was not difficult to see how beautiful and splendid it had been before, but now it was half-sunk into the loess.

"There's a terrible monster in there, a Z1, which we detected earlier, and there's a mysterious object next to him. We're just going to go down and find out, but I can't beat Z1 alone, so I'm going to have you to make a move. Leon muttered.

"Okay." Ian said without thinking.

"Okay, I need to observe it on the spot, and I'll leave the vigilance to you." Leon fiddled with the big box, "Well, you're helping me." ”

Half an hour later......

"Well, everything is the same as before, and the monster has been guarding the thing, motionless." Leon said as if relieved.

"Then let's go now." Ian proposed.

"Okay, but we're going to have to move the guy back......" Leon reluctantly pointed to the heavy machine.

"That thing is really sinking, the Apos Group is so advanced in technology that it can't be designed to be portable." The two crept into the castle, and Ian whispered.

"It's portable enough, twenty years ago, this kind of machine was bigger than a warehouse." Leon laughed.

"You said it's such a big castle, why hasn't anyone found out?" Ian looked confused.

"Whoever says no one knows, the locals have known about this castle for a long time, but they have been rumoring that there are man-eating demons in it, because they didn't have the concept of trespassers before." Leon whispered in a tone that bordered on pretense.

"Wait, I already knew, the intruder wasn't ...... three years ago" Ian found the clue in his words.

"Well, according to recent research, the Intruder has been a creature of our Earth for a long time, and I mean Z1, of course. We already know where Z3 came from, and we don't know what Z2 is, but they were born in the accident three years ago, and the same goes for Infinity Crystals. Leon said.

"What about Mortic's crystals? I've been forgetting to figure this out. Ian continued.

"Why do you have so many questions, three years ago, you also discovered the Infinity Crystal Center in a ruin, and it was only a week after Seth's accident." The two of them walked gently up the weathered white staircase as they spoke, and suddenly there was a "creak", and the plank under Leon's feet suddenly collapsed, and he quickly jumped to the side, and the violent collision caused the stairs to collapse like dominoes, and the two also fell to the bottom of the building.

The two of them could only get out of the ruins in disgrace, and Leon was about to complain when a vicissitudes of voice came.

"Whoever makes a noise again, this is forbidden land, advise you to retreat quickly, otherwise you will ......"

"What else would have happened?" Ian asked.

"Old man...... Hungry. The voice was old, but it was still imposing.

Leon's back was cold when he heard this, but Ian remembered...... Harriet ...... The night it was eaten.

"It's just right, I don't have a place to breathe." Ian remembered that he was powerless at the time, so he decisively opened the Infinity Crystal and jumped to the top floor with ease, but the scene in front of him was unexpected, and what he saw in front of him was not an abominable intruder, but a heroic old man.

"What? Why an old man? Ian rubbed his eyes.

"Z1 can be human!" Leon shouted below, and he also hurriedly activated his Infinity Crystal.

"Blaze." The chime ended, and Leon flew up with a cloud of steam.

"Don't be deceived by appearances." The old man said. "The old man's name is Mikanel, and he is the guardian of this castle, and as for you trespassers, let it be food for the old man's stomach."

"What, we are trespassers, obviously what has invaded our lives!" Ian yelled.

"Earth, you humans are not the only ones. Think about it, but you're dying. Arousal! Mikanel shouted, and with a glimmer of green light, he transformed into a familiar monster for the two of them.

"Oh, you have our breath in you, too? Looks like we're the same. Mikanel slowly leaned towards Ian.

"Who's like you!" Ian roared and drew his sword from the crystal and charged towards Mikanel.

"No, you can't deny it, we should be compatriots, because the old man can't feel the smell of those filthy human beings on you, so the old man has no appetite for you." Mikanel easily grabbed Ian's slashing sword.

"Ian, don't listen to him! You're a real person. Leon punched Mikanel in the back, and the flaming fist gave him a heavy blow, sending Ian flying as well.

Ian got up and stood dumbfounded, thinking: I am the Enlightener, how can I get involved with monsters? He comforted himself and rushed forward again.

"That's it, since you don't believe it, then the old man won't spare your life." Mikanel said.

"Don't talk too much, I won't spare your life." Ian picked himself up and kicked him with a high leg, and Leon slammed him to the head with a fiery fist.

But Mikanel didn't panic and kicked Ian hard, but the kick on the tough skin only caused a minimal impact. Ian was about to let go of his legs, but at this moment, Mikanel grabbed Ian and swung him to Leon, who was about to attack, Leon was directly knocked downstairs by the huge impact, and Ian also felt that his internal organs were about to pour out.

Mikanel tossed Ian aside, and Ian stood up with a shaky twist, "Leon, are you alright?" But no response came.

"That guy is too weak." Mikanel scoffed.

Ian said, "Weak or not, it's not for you to say." He stepped forward quickly, and with a hard thrash, Mikanel retreated, but it didn't seem to do any real damage.

Mikanel didn't want to play anymore, and flicked his tail over, and Ian was quick to react, and many actual battles kept him as focused as possible, so the Omensmen attack was almost useless at his already fast speed.

Mikanel swept the air and spat out a string of green flames, and Ian dodged as usual, only to find that the fire was moving extremely fast. Because as long as people shake their heads, they have to hide in Tibet.

Ian found the right time and rolled over with an arrow step, although his body was stained with flames, his skin was also hot and painful, and he didn't care, a sliding shovel passed. Tap your own Infinity Crystal and get ready to unleash your nirvana.

He drew his sword, and with the sound of "Infinite Sky Slash", Ian swung his sword, and a sword light followed.

With an explosion, only one figure stood in place.

Mikanel looked at Ian, who was broken in the chest by his own punch just now, and smiled, "I thought it was a compatriot, but I didn't admit it, but I didn't expect it to be weak." ”

He reached for Ian's heart.

Just then, the voice that often appeared in Ian's head suddenly appeared.

"Mikanel, don't move this body, stand down." A harsh and elegant voice came.

Mikanel was stunned, he paused for a moment, and said respectfully.

"Yes, Queen......"
