Sato is one of the ace pilots of the Wind Squad.

As the professional ace of the entire team after Captain Hurricane and the two vice-captains, Sato clearly knew that the three of them had concealed some information in the conversation just now.

For example, the so-called "drag marks" do not exist at all.

After all, Sato is the one who is really responsible for the finish, and he doesn't think that any traces can hide from his eyes, but he was discovered by Nagashi.

What's more, while searching the area he was responsible for, Sato passed by the entrance to the "Valley of the Royal Family" out of curiosity.

So Sato can be pretty sure that the coffin wasn't at the entrance in the first place.

It wasn't until Captain Tempest announced his return that the coffin containing Isilis' dried body was found at the entrance.

What does this mean?

This means that someone secretly dragged the coffin out and deliberately placed it at the entrance of the "Valley of the Royal Family".

Unfortunately, what if Sato realizes this?

He wasn't actually "clean" himself.

Boom!

Slowly pulling out a strange long sword from under the bed, Sato's expression looked a little dazed.

Because Sato never remembered that he had such a long sword, let alone when he hid it under the bed.

The only thing he was sure of was that he definitely didn't have this long sword before he went out on a mission.

"I ...... Hypnotized by the Natans? ”

Staring at the longsword in his hand in disbelief, Sato felt that this was the only reason to explain his current situation.

So who hypnotized himself?

Captain Wind? Vice-captain of Yongan? Or Vice-Captain Okabe?

The strange actions of the three of them flashed in his mind, and Sato's heart couldn't help but sink.

Whoever hypnotized him or her means that he is in a dangerous situation.

There are three people on the outside, and there is an internal review of the Carlo base inside......

Sato clenched the long sword in his hand tightly, but his heart had already begun to think about what this long sword meant.

Woo!

Just as Sato was sinking into deep thought, a piercing alarm suddenly spread throughout the Carlo base.

When Sato looked up in shock, the lights inside and outside the room suddenly went out, and even the harsh sirens from before were all gone.

It is obvious that someone cut off the energy system of the entire base.

Not only the energy system in use, but even the backup energy system at the Caro base was destroyed at the same time.

Such precision and swiftness of destruction only proves that the saboteurs not only know everything about the Caro base, but also have accomplices who cooperate with each other.

This is to be able to quickly cut off all energy equipment in the entire Carlo base at the same time.

Most critically, the destruction of the energy system at the Carlo base meant that the communication network established with the victory team in the hall was also disrupted.

"Not good!"

Thinking of the previous words of the captain of the victory team, Sato immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.

He didn't dare to bet on whether the TPC top brass would be able to make up their minds and let the Delta space station bomb the Carlo base in an all-out way.

At this moment, even if it is just to save his life, Sato must report the anomaly he has discovered.

"Open the door! Open the door for me at once, I have something to report to Sir John!" ”

Walking to the door of the room in three steps and two steps, Sato knocked on the door of the room with the long sword in his hand.

Doodoo ......

With a quick knock on the door, Sato responded to only a long silence.

The logistics staff who were supposed to guard Sato outside didn't make any noise as if they had never appeared.

Yikes! Yikes! Yikes!

Already feeling a sense of crisis in his heart, Sato immediately took a step back, intending to force the door open.

It just so happened that at this time, a strange footstep sound came from outside the door, making a creepy sound.

It is like the sound of wood colliding with a hard structure, and it is like the sound of ghosts walking in the forest......

Yikes! Yikes! Yikes!

In an instant, the sound of footsteps appeared at the door of the room.

Frightened, Sato's hairs stood on end, and he unconsciously clenched the long sword in his hand.

Boom!

Almost as soon as the door was opened, Sato suddenly swung the long sword in his hand and directly cut off the head of the comer.

"Ahh

With a frightened cry, the footsteps in Sato's ears suddenly disappeared, and his whole body came back to his senses from his trance.

It was only at this time that Sato could see clearly what had just happened.

"How...... Possible? ”

Looking down at the bloody head at his feet, Sato recognized the other party's identity at a glance.

It was none other than one of the two logisticians in charge of Sato.

In this small base, even if they weren't friends with each other, they would become friends after getting along for so long.

What's more, Sato was also one of the first pilots to come to Carlo Foundation.

Sato still remembers that he had just chatted with the logistics staff before the mission, and they imagined the time when they would return to Earth and reunite with their families after the mission.

However, all of this became impossible with Sato's slash.

"Someone! Sato is crazy! ”

The cry for help from another logistics staff woke Sato from his stunnedness.

"No...... I didn't mean to......"

Sato stretched out his hand to explain something, only to find that it was the arm holding the sword that was stretched out.

And in the eyes of another logistics officer, this action is undoubtedly a manifestation of Sato's desire to kill people.

So, the frightened logistics personnel ran towards the hall of the base, and in the process, they did not forget to spread the news of Sato's murder.

“……”

Witnessing this scene, Sato fell silent.

Then he noticed that the strange footsteps from before, whether it was the sudden power outage, were just his hallucinations.

The lighting inside and outside the room was still on, and there was nothing ghostly at the end of the passage.

Even the logistics staff took the initiative to open the door just now because they heard Sato's shouts.

All kinds of strange phenomena and behaviors that blur the boundaries between reality and fantasy all show that Sato's current mental state is precarious.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to......"

Standing in place for a long time, Sato could only spit out this sentence in a low voice.

Unfortunately, the apologetic words combined with his now butcher-like image were not at all convincing.
