Chapter 38: The Traitor

Rewind to 84 hours ago.

A procession marching through the jungle, all on standby, alert for any danger that might emerge from the darkness.

The task of this trip was to deliver a particularly important thing to the home of a certain count in a neighboring country. It is said that it is an extremely valuable artifact, and this mission is of great significance to the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries and the traditional friendly relations.

The leader is a listener named Richie, but the day before the mission begins, he doesn't feel very well. It was as if you were encased in a bottle that wasn't too big or too small, and the power couldn't radiate far away.

But he himself is the leader of the organization's combat power, so the task is still handed over to the second team he leads to carry out.

"Ciel, did you hear that Ye and they also went out on a mission?"

"yes, I don't know how he's doing."

"It's amazing, this is the first time that all the teams have something to do."

"Alas, I don't know when we will meet again in the future......"

"After returning home."

“…… Although the answer is surprising, it also makes sense. ”

"How's Richie?"

"Still no, say 'can't go there'? Of course, only he knows how he really feels. ”

"It's amazing. Then you shouldn't be able to hear bad things about him now, right? For example, he ordered 'Naughty Clip Sounds' on an illegal website. ”

From the front came Richie's faint voice: "Ahem, cough...... I can hear it all. ”

"Hee-hee~~"

At 2:16, one minute before the attack.

At a distance of 1 km, a group of men in white armor followed behind them.

In fact, the group saw the team in front of them at 1:43 a.m., and followed closely all the way, but kept a certain distance.

One of them spoke, his voice shining with a metallic texture under the armor: "How long is the seal of Kellebas?" ”

The other hesitated for a long time, as if calculating something: "There is less than an hour left." ”

"So in less than an hour, the leader will hear that we're here?"

"Yes."

"It's not easy, when will we be able to do it? It's been a long time coming, is there really such a necessity? ”

"Reducing losses, that's a guideline that must be taken into account."

"Okay."

"Did the Knife Mantis go over there?"

"Well, I said there was an acquaintance who asked him to do it himself."

"Can you see this guy? I'm really worried that I'm going to do something that doesn't go through my head. ”

"Let's worry about ourselves first, there's that one over there, so we don't need to-"

It was broken halfway through the words, because dozens of kilometers away, an encrypted signal was sent out, passing all the way along the invisible fluctuations, and finally reflected on the pupils of all of them.

The signal was captured and quickly cracked, and the moment the information was seen, the aura on everyone's body changed.

"That one spoke." The face without waves moved slightly: "It's time to do it." ”

The armor on their bodies trembled, and there was a sound of layers of falling and grinding metal.

Then disappear in place. In less than a moment, the flickering teams on the map were truly visible.

Then it fell from the sky, and the butcher's knife reached out to the startled faces......

Blood splattered.

At 2:17, the second team encountered the first raid of the armor.

————————

Not long after Slicka came out of Kony's research room, he ran into a group of noisy Lorraine soldiers. The soldiers saw him and shouted at him "Soft eggs from out of town", "Sramie pervert", and other nasty words. But he didn't pay attention to them, just as they were exhaust fumes, like flying ash raised by stepping on the ground.

After walking some way, he met two of Shizuneiji's companions. The two partners made a yellow joke on him, he gave his middle finger without saying a word, and after giving birth to two subtitles on their heads, "We just got married", he sped up and walked away, leaving the two behind him to curse.

In fact, he was a little flustered and a little difficult to adapt, although his face was not exposed.

He came all the way to the door of a room, and opened it without knocking, and there was Brac in the room, as well as Luo Ding and Pera.

He closed the door, and now there were four people in the room, plus him.

"How's it going?"

Braque put down the paper papers in his hand and put them back on the thick stack on the table, his expression serious.

Slicka felt that his mood was still difficult to calm down, but he still suppressed his beating heart and said steadily: "It's better for you to see for yourself." ”

He opened a special orb, the one that contained the reenactment magic. The front page contained the documents he was looking for, and with a swipe of his fingers, they were surrounded by a mysterious stream of numbers, which were opened one by one, gradually turning into another environment.

This is a video of the reenactment of the battlefield of the second team, demonstrated in the form of a simulation animation. The battlefield of the second team is also called the second battlefield in the report. And now what they saw on the second battlefield was something that almost suffocated them.

A rain of bullets, and wasted sacrifices.

Slicka named the first node they discovered: "At 2:39 local time, the cylindrical container escorted by the second team was captured for the first time by the Warframers, and the enchantment of the container was unlocked by a cipher, not forcibly destroyed by physical means as seen later. Although the camouflage is very real, it still can't be hidden in front of the battlefield restoration video. ”

"Brak!" Luo Ding: "It turns out that what you suspect is true. ”

Braque didn't speak, just held his breath in the hail of bullets until the end of the video.

The space was flipped back piece by piece, back to the familiar structure of the room. Braque's expression was serious, and he suppressed his endless anger.

"You can make a preliminary conclusion," he stared ahead, but his eyes were actually running wildly on the endless horizon: "We, the Jingting Division, this special operations force with hundreds of people to work for, have a traitor. ”

——————————

The sunlight shines on the bubbles, reflecting some faint halos, and when seen from a distance, the Earl's Court under the aperture is like a small ecological crystal ball, and there is no longer a tall and majestic appearance.

But if you come to the gate, the mansion in front of you will return to a daunting height.

Whether it is inside or outside the house, the guards with strong bodies have a majestic expression, and the knife in their hands can be pulled out of the sheath at any time to take off the head of the wicked. Their eyes were like torches, exuding coercion in all directions, and from time to time they looked at the portrait of the head of the Raibne family above their heads.

The city of Leiberne was a peaceful city, where the people enjoyed the fruits of their labor and were truly self-sufficient in the country. However, in order to defend against the evil forces of the Eight Evil Forces, many of the surrounding villages have been attacked by the Eight Evils, and the city of Leibony has gradually forced itself into a semi-military city-state.

And now that the soul of Wang Ma has returned to the hands of the Lebany family, the current Lebani City has become the target of public criticism, and it is likely to become the target of the eight villains. These days, the garrison has reached an all-time high. Thanks to the efforts of General Buterin, a large number of national troops have been added to the city's armament forces. Now the city of Leiberni already has the ability to resist the national invasion war.

The Earl's Court also set up many barriers, and it was almost impossible for invaders to enter from the outside.

Ye walked on a corridor covered with a golden carpet in the mansion, because he already had the conditions for resurrection staring, he was in a good mood now, and his steps along the way were much brisker.

Three people slowly walked in front of him, Anastasia, General Buterin, and Theo Lebney.

After yesterday's conversation, he has no fear of Lebony and just wants to talk to him more.

There are still too many questions in my heart, and I want to explain them clearly through this old man.

He bowed to the three of them, expecting to get a response from Lebony...... However, as if he didn't know him at all, the old man drove over in a wheelchair leisurely......

Ye: "??? ”

Of the three who walked by, only Anastasia smiled at him kindly, while the other two acted as if they were completely unaware of his presence.

Until the old man was far away, he was still in disbelief, unbelievable at what had just happened: Count Lyberne? Why did you ignore me?

Embarrassment, the nameless and powerless grass has no memorable value, does it?

After that, I didn't go far, and I saw the group of colleagues who were always noisy.

Everyone looked anxious: "What do you mean now?" Can we attend tonight's banquet? ”

"Xiaobu seems to have said no in the morning. I'm going to hurry back. ”

"Don't......"

Ye really didn't have much interest in the banquet, but seeing that this group of comics was looking forward to it, he also began to look forward to whether he could see any sketches at the banquet.

It's really strange that just yesterday he was very worried about what kind of conflict these people would have with the people in the house, but today he has no such concerns...... Was it yesterday's conversation with Lebony that made a difference?

No...... Maybe it's because of the ...... of this place The breath of life in the city of Leberney is infected......

"Where's this guy Braque?"

"Didn't a couple of noble ladies come in this morning? Eighty percent are hiding somewhere to peek at something. ”

"No need, he's going to hide from peeping? Isn't it clairvoyance, you can see it anytime, anywhere? ”

"It's another thing to be visible, but you may have to hide what you do."

Many people didn't understand it at first, but after a while they understood, they showed shocked and disgusted expressions.

"What are you doing? So lively? Braque finally showed up. He had come to announce something and join in the fun, but it turned out that everyone was looking at him with a strange gaze, and it was hard not to be nervous when he was looked at like this.

"What's the matter, you guys, ......"

The crowd in front of him was like a landmine, and they suddenly quarreled:

"My dearest little cloth! Let's go to tonight's banquet! ”

"Anyway, the mission is over! The headquarters should let us have a good time! ”

"Brother! The happiness of the rest of my life may be pinned on this dinner, please, please! Be sure to attend! ”

"I'm going to eat Boschtown lobster! There is also the Supreme Sacred Lake Steak! And the royal sundae ......"

Every eye flashed so hard that he couldn't open it.

It's also hard for him to do, and he naturally understands their feelings. But they are warriors who come from afar from another country with a national mission, and they can't be put together with these nobles and royal families. This makes it strange for outsiders to look at it.

His answer, of course, was......

Colleague A: "I heard there's a striptease show tonight!" ”

Colleague B: "Huh? This...... Is this a show that can appear in a serious setting? ”

A: "I'm still going to sit on your lap and let you ...... The kind of one! ”

C: "?!! ”

"......" Braque's brain was running at high speed for two seconds, and he fell from the sky to the ground: "Since everyone wants to participate so much, then I can't help it." Although I don't want to do it at all...... In that case, let's go together! ”

Ye: I don't think you want to.

"Yay!"

The crowd cheered, and Braque quickly added: "But there is one point, you can't drink." ”

"Hey???"

While it's a shame to miss out on the wine, it's not a big deal compared to missing the whole party...... So I agreed.

"One more thing," Braque: "For the sake of everyone's condition, we will continue to stay here for two days, and in two days each of us will have to get in shape and then leave for China." ”

“? Ay??? ”

"That's what it's all about, and it's important to follow through on it." After saying that, Braque only glanced at the crowd, and after confirming that the vast majority of people were here, he turned around and left, not giving them any chance to react.

Looking at his distant back, everyone discussed: "For Mao? Two more days to stay? ”

"I think I'm in good shape, right? Where else is there to straighten out? ”

"Great, I can eat two more days of ......"

"I know, Xiaobu still wants to enjoy two more days here to make up for the regret of being in a coma for two days."

As soon as the words "......" came out, they were all a little surprised. Because I realized that two days ago I was shouting that it was a coercive captivity, now in the eyes of everyone, it has become a kind of enjoyment.

I really don't know if this kind of transformation is a good thing or a bad thing. Even if it is a good thing, it is only given by others, and it does not really belong to them.

Ye quietly stared at Brack's back, and remembered what he had talked about with Kony today, and his heart was mixed.
