After greeting a few words with Zhu Nong and other HRE officials, Gao Xu and his party came to a comfortable residence to rest on the grounds that they were tired from the journey, and asked Biggs to be taken into the designated detention room.
The current identity of the East Asian Reincarnation is the new president, Leaf? The envoy of the Shinra brought a new version of Rufus's death - in order to ascend to the throne as soon as possible, hire murderers, and kill his father in the name of Avalanche, the president of Shinra found out that something was wrong and was ready to change his illegitimate son Liv as the heir, but he was still killed by Rufus, and in the end, the frenzied Rufus took the blame and was killed on the spot.
These news have actually been learned by Junong's high-level through various channels, after all, no matter how tightly they hide it, at most they can deceive outsiders, Rufus is dead, and Liv has taken over as the old president's son, they are helpless, and the most concerned problem is that once a son of heaven and a courtier!
Gao Xu gave them a reassurance, there will be no changes in Zhu Nong's official and general arrangements, which can be regarded as stabilizing the morale of the army, sweeping the tail for Lifu's coming to power, and then they no longer care about these things, they went to Zhu Nong, but not to intrigue internally, reincarnation acts, do not put the cart before the horse!
"It has been found out, Junong is indeed the place where the Shinra combat machinery is produced, the assembly line, and then airlifted to Midgar after assembly and commissioning, the division of labor is very clear!" Everyone rested in the room while waiting for news. It didn't take long for the magician's voice to come through the intercom. Gao Xu listened and bowed slightly. Browsing through a copy of Zhu Nong's warning records in recent days, he looked thoughtful.
The predecessor of the HRE company was called the HRE Works, which was an arms development company, and the manufacture of munitions was their old business, and later after taking control of the mainland, they built the steel city of Midgar, and began to implement the way of civil and military division of labor, which was called Midgar. Wu is Zhu Nong, naturally, weapon manufacturing was transferred to Zhu Nong, after all, once Midgar has every inch of land, the installation of the Demon Furnace has taken up almost the space, there is no large open space to manufacture combat machinery, the defense system of the two Midgar is indeed far inferior to Zhu Nong, weapon manufacturing is a key factor related to the long-term rule of the HRE Company, or it is better to put it in the safest place!
"In Midgar, there is no place for the avalanche to turn over. Regardless of whether North America will admit defeat or not, Barrett, who has a bitter hatred for the HRE Corporation, will not stop. When he came to the rescue of Biggs, he was a good jihua...... Well, it's time to lure the snake out of the hole! β
Luring the snake out of the hole is the fundamental purpose of the East Asian reincarnation to go to Junong.
Midgar's victory is only the first big victory, the confrontation has just begun, at least this regional battlefield is three months long, and it has only been less than half a month so far, according to the orthodox plot flow, the next reincarnation will travel to many places, and continue to fight with the avalanche side, until a decisive victory is achieved, and then deal with the catastrophe brought by Sephiroth!
Gao Xu doesn't like to take the usual path, because North America has a huge foundation in this side, and going on step by step means handing over the main offensive power to others, and it is still unknown who will be overturned!
So after arresting Biggs four days ago, Gao Xu spread the news through Shinra's propaganda channels that he was going to execute the members of the terrorist organization Avalanche in Junong, and then quietly waited for the fish to take the bait.
Sure enough, it is better to come early than to come by coincidence, although there seems to be no discrepancy in the warning records of the past few days, but Gao Xu found the list of people guarding the elevator, and asked the magician to run errands to check them one by one, and unsurprisingly received the news that three outsiders tried to get close to the elevator yesterday and were resolutely driven away by the Shinra soldiers who stuck to their posts.
Through the description of the appearance of outsiders, there is no doubt that Gao Xu is indeed Claude, Barrett, and Iris, and as for them Weishenme will be kicked out, the reason is very simple - no money was given as a bribe.
The upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, many of the low-level personnel of the HRE company are very unprofessional, in the later stage of the original plot, the protagonist of the plot is to buy the guards guarding the elevator through money to steal into the HRE, but the first time they were not flexible, they relied on their strength to climb up from the steel tower on the lower level of the fortress......
Mighty and domineering!
The Shinra soldiers can't lie in front of the magician, since the three of Claude didn't take the elevator, ninety percent of them may climb up with a hum, this is the so-called plot inertia, although the plot has already changed drastically, but some details are still amazingly similar!
After the three Claude climbed up, they must have run to the locker room to steal a set of clothes, disguised as Shinra soldiers to find out the whereabouts of Biggs, and then rescue ...... Since the first drop of blood movie became a hit, scenes of going deep behind enemy lines can be seen everywhere, as if behind enemy lines is really a backyard that can be easily penetrated.
Of course, there is the protagonist's luck to protect the body, and the protagonist of the plot only needs to rely on a little bit of strategy with a lot of blood, and for the reincarnation, the protagonist of the enemy's plot is like a hot potato, and it is definitely impossible to kill it, and it may not be able to catch it, even if it is caught, it is likely to get out under the shit luck of the protagonist's luck, and it is impossible for the reincarnation to leave other things behind to watch the protagonist twenty-four hours a day, right?
Similarly, even if they are in one camp, the behavior of the protagonist of the plot is difficult to restrain because they have unique thoughts and self-behaviors, and the reincarnation can guide the protagonist of the plot, but they can't completely fiddle with it, so the three of Claude can resolutely come to save people, but the North American reincarnation does not dare to rashly break into the home of East Asia, otherwise what awaits them is death, meaningless death!
As a result, the protagonists of the Avalanche and the reincarnators in North America were separated, and there was an opportunity to sow discord......
Here it comes!
******
Claude, dressed in a Shinra uniform, poked his head out, glanced alertly and quickly at the patrolling soldiers coming and going on the main street, and gestured to Barrett and Iris behind him.
In addition to the fact that Claude was a member of the HRE company and wore the uniform quite well, Barrett's burly body and Iris's petite figure were not suitable for the HRE uniform. But under Iris's skillful hands who can dress Claude as a hot beauty. At first glance, the two are less conspicuous.
Lost to everyone. It is precisely the first point of going deep behind enemy lines.
"I'll go and inquire about the specific location of Biggs, and then set up a rescue jihua, you guys wait here, if there is a patrol member coming, just avoid it for the time being and leave a mark!" However, Claude was clearly not at ease, he was well aware of Barrett's violent temper and resentment towards Shinra, in case Biggs was mistreated. Barrett would definitely be furious, so when he was leaving, he glanced at Iris, who nodded understandingly.
Barrett snorted sullenly, he saw the small movements between Claude and Iris, and knew what the two were thinking, his shortcomings were his short temper, not his lack of intelligence, and the real stupid man could not be the leader of the avalanche.
Barrett knew this, but he always saw the hordes of Shinra soldiers. The tragedy of Clearer a few years ago will come to mind, and he can no longer restrain his emotions. Therefore, after secretly leaving Midgar, everything was headed by Claude, and he also admitted it, who called himself not Claude's calm style of handling things with ease?
The waiting process is always boring, and Barrett, with the intention of not being out of sight and out of mind, finds a magic stone shop with Iris, moves his hands and feet wrapped tightly in clothes, and mutters, "It's so uncomfortable!" β
"Bear with me, I've already given you a transformation according to the maximum size, big guys are not popular in Shinra!" With her hands behind her back, Iris browsed the store's shelves with interest, listened to Barrett's complaints, turned her head and smiled playfully.
Barrett touched his head, and suddenly seemed to have a flash of inspiration, pulled Iris aside secretly, and whispered rarely: "I just remembered, haven't you been monitored by Tax of the HRE Corporation since you were a child, and you were also blocked when you left Midgar, and now you are on the territory of HRE, and you don't wear makeup, what if you recognize Tux?" How dangerous! β
"It's okay, I grew up in the slums, and I'm used to danger......" Iris waved her hand, indifferently authentic, and then her eyes flickered, and she left the store, looking up at the sky, showing a look of remembrance, "I used to be afraid of seeing the sky, and the sky scared me, as if I was going to be sucked in, and then when I really stepped out of Midgar's big disc, squinted my eyes, and looked up at the sky, I suddenly felt that this was my fate, my destined destiny......"
"Think about it, no matter how scared you are, what should come will come eventually, and resistance will not solve the problem!" Iris muttered to herself, Barrett was confused, he knew about Iris's identity - the only remaining ancient species on the continent, and heard that the HRE company had been monitoring Iris, but he didn't have to force it, just to ask for the location of the promised land, in a vain attempt to extract endless magic energy from the promised land, this kind of thing...... Absolutely not allowed!
Barrett's thinking is very simple, the HRE Corporation has committed countless evil acts, the most heinous crimes, and the vampire like a large amount of magic energy, causing the planet to accelerate its death, such a heart-wrenching behavior must be stopped, and the avalanche on the side of justice will definitely win the victory of Zuihou!
This is Barrett's belief, and it is also the source of his courage to constantly fight with the huge HRE company, and venture into Junong, the largest military fortress in the HRE, to rescue his companions......
Many people may think this is naΓ―ve, not like a middle-aged man approaching forty, but it is undeniable that the act of fighting to the end is very admirable, and after the end of the main story, when Claude is immersed in Iris's death and star-scar disease, Barrett is looking for new energy sources to replace Moxuan and maintain people's daily needs, and finally finds oil.
To sum up, Barrett, the leader of Avalanche, is a man who mixes hatred and justice, has no room for sand in his eyes, and stands up to the sky......
East Asia is on the side of the HRE, and is dragged down by a group of villains, does North America think that the decent protagonist with the luck of the protagonist can always enjoy the cool?
Wrong!
The unscrupulous behavior of the vast majority of reincarnators to achieve their ends has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, even if their camp is assigned to be a decent shili, they cannot be decent. Take a step back. Even if it's someone like Gao Xu. Some of the tricks are not liked by decent protagonists, let alone perverts like Tu......
However, the reincarnation has the convenience of foresight, and it is completely possible to disguise it according to the character of the protagonist of the plot, do what he likes, and deepen the relationship, which is also the reason why Gao Xu and Shuanglong's temperament are obviously not compatible, but they can be cited as confidants, but there is no impermeable wall in the world. Gao Xu certainly hid some things from Shuanglong, but after all, he has a clear conscience, and the process refutes the stereotyped and inflexible way of the righteous path, but the ending can be happy, even if it is spread out, it doesn't matter, what North America does is different, they came in with two major plans, how can they care whether the protagonist of the plot is willing or not, happy or not?
As before, if necessary. Let them blow up Optimus Prime and kill thousands of people. And definitely not half a frown!
So, it's starting to make Avalanche Leader Barrett ...... It's time to see what North America really is!!
A few days ago, East Asia was almost expelled from the plot Shili by the HRE, and lost the reinforcement function of the replenishable battlefield, Gao Xu wanted to treat him in the same way as others, so that North America could have a good taste of the taste of coming and not being rude!!
Of course, the difficulty of expelling the hostile reincarnation from the plot shili and becoming a lonely ghost in the supplementable battlefield is much greater than that of the non-replenishable type, think about the five years of preparation under Professor Blunt's exquisite layout, how much did it cost?
So at present, it is only the second step - burying the nails, as for the first step, as early as the combat effectiveness of intercepting the North American reinforcements intentionally or unintentionally letting go of the "slaughter", it has already been prepared!
Claude was very efficient, and in less than an hour, he flashed in, waved at Barrett and Iris, and led the two of them to turn left and right, heading towards the detention cell.
On the way, it's not like you have to fight map monsters in the game, as if you are afraid that the enemy won't know that Lao Tzu is coming, the three of them are careful and careful, low-key and low-key, and finally arrived at the destination without danger.
This detention room is where the HRE imprisoned Tifa and Barrett in the original plot, and they were about to execute the two, but the Mogu toy cat controlled by Liv intervened sideways and rescued Barrett, but he couldn't open the door of the gas chamber, or Tifa gave his strength and escaped from the gas chamber by himself, and then it was chasing and snorting with Scarlett......
I'm afraid that the scenes of the original plot will never happen again, but the structure of the building between the detention room and the gas chamber will not change, so the three of Claude sneaked to the corner of the aisle, found a ladder, climbed the ventilation duct, and slowly moved towards the detention room!
When they reached the top of the detention cell, a clear voice had already been heard, and everything was like eavesdropping on the executive meeting inside the sixty-sixth floor of the HRE Building!
"You can tell me honestly, who instigated the operation of blowing up Optimus Prime and smashing all the slum dwellers to death, confess leniently, resist strictly, for the sake of a group of vicious beasts, buried their lives in vain, it's not worth it!"
"I don't know, I don't know!" Biggs's helpless voice sounded, he was indeed helpless, although this group of people was not as vicious as they imagined, beating and abusing him, but it was a question over and over again, it was not annoying to ask, and it was annoying to listen!
The three Claude in the ventilation duct looked at each other, especially Barrett, before coming here, his heart was ready for Biggs to scream or die, and he was gearing up, eager to save people, but now when he heard it, it seemed that it was not staged according to the script!
Barrett was stunned here, Iris listened to a few words, but she changed color, talking about the depth of her feelings for the slums, no one in the protagonist of the plot can compare to her, a flower girl, since she was sensible, she has lived in the slums, and the bits and pieces with Zax five years ago also happened in the slums, no matter how good her temper is, she will never allow anyone to do such a bad thing!
"Hmph, it seems that you really don't know, so let's talk about the 'comrades-in-arms' who abandoned you and fled alone!" The interrogator repeated it twice, and under the gaze of Biggs, the conversation changed and finally changed the subject.
However, in the tone of the questioner, the word comrade-in-arms was bitten very hard, with the most obvious irony, Biggs twitched the corner of his eyes when he heard it, but he couldn't refute it, the reincarnation thinks that escape is a strategic shift, it is a necessary tactic, and those who stay to fight to the end are stupid/forced, and the plot characters don't think so, so Biggs is very resentful of this group of "companions" who are not used to it!
What's more, Anquan was expelled from the Avalanche organization for creating the disaster of Optimus Prime, although it did not affect the entire team. But the incidental loss of favorability is essential. That is to say, the favorability between the characters of "Tu" and Avalanche has decreased to a low point. It's almost a bad feeling!
In view of this, it is very simple for the interrogator to pry open Biggs's mouth, similar to Bancroft's psychology of covering his ears and stealing the bell, Biggs has no psychological pressure to tell what "Tu" has done, and under the methodical inducement, he speaks very smoothly.
The more he talked below, the more Barrett and Iris above listened, the more angry he became, and Claude's face was certainly calm. But judging by its clenched fists, its heart is not at peace.
After the conversation was over, the three plot protagonists withdrew from the ventilation duct and found a hidden corner, the azure magic light in Claude's eyes faded, and he shook his head and said: "Biggs has no signs of being controlled, it should not be the enemy's trap!" β
"That's true, I didn't expect that not long after we left Midgar, the avalanche actually mixed in with these black sheep!" Barrett was furious when he heard this, and the righteous group actually entered the villain rat. Is it tolerable or unbearable, said immediately. "When Biggs is rescued, we'll go back to Midgar!"
Claude nodded noncommittally, he is still a mercenary, Barrett's employer has orders, he will not have too many objections, Iris frowned, and said suspiciously: "Safin, they were introduced by Adeline when he left, they are partners who can be entrusted with heavy burdens, how can there be such a huge contrast, will there be any misunderstanding?" β
Claude thought for a moment: "The probability of misunderstanding is already very low, such a big thing happened in Midgar, we can know as soon as we ask, this is something that even the HRE can't hide...... Knowing people and knowing faces, Adeline may have made the wrong friends! β
The Adeline in Alys and Claude's mouth is the North American reincarnation who dealt with the protagonist of the plot before the start of the regional battlefield, that is, the team that did the follow-up work, you must know that the teams such as Dark, Tu, and Wu Song entered the regional battlefield together with the East Asian side, and on the surface, they were on the same starting line, but in fact, they used a clever inheritance method to make the relationship with the protagonist of the plot excellent from the beginning......
Favorability grafting!
After the Jiang Feng couple lost their memory in the peerless double pride, the favorability was transferred to Yan Nantian and Helu, which is a method of favorability grafting, but this method is rarely used, if Gao Xu didn't happen to experience the plot of amnesia, I'm afraid he wouldn't have found it, and the reincarnation can produce many people, all kinds of whimsical ideas emerge in endlessly, Gao Xu discovered the amnesia grafting, and naturally others found another transfer, North America is to use a kind of travel that never looks back, to achieve the transfer of favorability.
On the eve of the opening of the regional battlefield, Adeline used a special oath prop to say goodbye to Claude, Barrett, Iris, Tifa and others, indicating that she was going to travel to other continents, and I am afraid that there will be no chance to meet again in this life, under the effect of the oath, this is equivalent to mandatory, once you leave, it is a return to space, and Final Fantasy Shijie is closed to it and cannot enter again!
Then Adeline introduced the upcoming underworld team to the protagonist of the plot, clearly saying that these people are her most haode friends, worthy of trust, hoping to join the avalanche, fight against the HRE, and complete the unfinished business......
To put it bluntly, it's the younger brother who broke his leg, the boss moved his mouth, and the dark team is the top three teams in Europe and the United States, and the treatment they enjoy is really good!
Compared with the transfer of amnesia, this method of long-distance entrustment is undoubtedly more practical, but everything has advantages and disadvantages, there is no perfect existence, the defect of long-distance entrustment is indirectness, Claude and others have no direct friendship with the underworld team, the reason for the close relationship is that it is all introduced by others, and it is not reliable, if there is a problem, Claude and others' first reaction is that Adeline knows no one and makes the wrong friend!
After some discussion, Barrett stomped his foot angrily, he had already made up his mind, if the news was true after returning to Midgar, he must clear the black sheep out of the avalanche, but the current priority is to rescue Biggs, Claude has long observed, the detention room is not only heavily guarded, but also in the core of Junon Fortress, even if the three of them have the ability to save people, they can't stand to retreat, so with past experience and memory, Claude looked at the production line of combat machinery, and said slowly:
"There are many people in the HRE, if you want to save people smoothly, you can't bury your head and break in, we ......"
"Let's have a !! of the east and west" (To be continued......)
