At about six or seven o'clock, during the morning rush hour, the attack of the red tengu also ended.

Police stations in the Night City were burned to the ground, and the headquarters of the NCPA Metropolitan Police Department was blown up.

Before being surrounded by heavy regiments, the attackers simply set up automatic defense mode for the heavy equipment that could not be withdrawn and the SMS batteries of the mecha that were not prepared for movement, and the support was broken for a period of time, and a large area self-exploded, blowing up the infrastructure in the central area of the city and blocking the pursuers.

As for the core personnel, they have long been broken into pieces, burrowed into the subway tracks, and blended into the crowd of office workers commuting from the suburbs, and disappeared.

Eh, I'm going to carry out my terrorist attack, and I don't even interfere with everyone clocking in at work, and I'm weird and considerate.

What? Are you still coming to work after a terrorist attack?

Hey, look at what you say, so what's not? Even if there is a knife in the sky, you have to go to work!

Ahem, in short, this Akainu attack is really beautiful, clean and neat, just highlight a person who can come and go if he wants, just like a bloody public toilet, no less than a slap in the face of the security system.

In the ruins of the Metropolitan Police Department, the agents of the Security Bureau, who collected the wreckage for scanning, were silent with gloomy faces, saying that it was a bit too much, almost like being fed a piece of.

Then Li Pan put his trouser pocket in one hand and dangled over with the canned food in the other, watching the play in the crowd leisurely.

"Yo, Uncle Chen, I'm out of class so early."

The agents looked at him angrily, Chen Tan also sighed, put the bullet casing in his hand into the evidence bag and threw it to the security drone, stood up and walked to Li Pan, who was looking around outside the cordon.

"What's the matter with you?"

"Me? No, no, it's my business, I'll just happen to pass by and have some fun. ”

Li Pan glanced at the corpse on the ground,

"How many people died this time? Folded a lot of big officials, right? ”

Chen Tan," and other official announcements. ”

"Don't be so cold, Uncle Chen, you weren't like this when you were looking for me, communicate and communicate, I'll invite you to have morning tea?"

Chen Tan also knew that Li Pan was careful and couldn't offend, so he had to sit down with him to a nearby restaurant with a stinky face.

Li Pan ordered a bunch of synthetic meat burgers, coffee and black tea, set a table, and was not polite, so he sucked his fingers while eating and asked,

"By the way, Uncle Chen, why hasn't a single Reagan died?"

Chen Tan just wanted to take a sip of coffee before his hand stopped, frowning and raising his eyes to stare at the man opposite,

"What do you mean?"

"Wow, look at the list."

Li Pan spread out his hand to play the live news, opened the rolling broadcast of the citizen's death information and pulled it down.

"It's NCPA who attacked it, how can it be that none of Reagan is dead? Probability, right?

And I just went to their engagement dinner last night, and I thought I would have another table to eat today. ”

Li Pan is really a little confused.

Isn't that right? Didn't you say okay, to get rid of the Reagan family's species and engage in 'gods'? Could it be that the plan has deviated from the plan?

Or is it because the matter of killing Reika Yamada was revealed, and the other party also changed the battle plan?

Chen Tan was not surprised,

"Isn't it obvious, aren't people taking advantage of this loophole?

You also said that yesterday was the new person in the Reagan family who ran a drink, and the three dogs were transferred out to protect the important officers. ”

Uh, well, three-headed dogs......

Although everyone is a dog, the restraint relationship between dogs is actually quite clear.

Although the red tengu is powerful, he has always been crushed when he encounters a three-headed dog, and his technical equipment and tactical experience are not dominant.

After all, the three-headed dog is an armed force specially approved by the committee, representing the ceiling-level combat power of the committee, from prosthetics to bullets, it is the top of the heavens.

But the red tengu is a mad dog that soars freely, and he goes crazy and convulses anytime and anywhere, and runs around without a trace when he bites.

And three-headed dogs have one of the biggest disadvantages, they are chained around their necks, they can't be unlocked without authorization, and they kick them away when they don't use them.

So this time the three-headed dog was also tethered and tethered to the owner's side.

According to the information revealed by Uncle Chen, the three-headed dog is not only responsible for the security of the dignitaries of the Reagan family's banquet. After the security system attacked the alarm, it was also divided into small teams and sent to rescue and evacuate those dignitaries as soon as possible.

It wasn't until the three-headed dog escorted all the VIPs to the nuclear battle bunker and military fortress of the security system that he returned to the city to clean up the mess.

As a result, when they arrived, the NCPA's armed police force had already been blown up by the red dogs, the building was blown up, and a group of crazy red dogs had demolished their homes, and their shadows had disappeared long ago.

So the night was a big fight, but those mayors, directors, and the Reagan family didn't have anything to do at all.

On the contrary, in NCPA, those forces that do not belong to Reagan are the kind of people who have a bad relationship, and when people marry their daughters and invite guests to dinner, they have to specially arrange for them to work overtime and stay in the bureau to fall into bad luck, and basically they have not survived. Either torn to pieces by machine guns, blown into flying ash by thermobaric bombs, or buried in the collapsed rubble, the amount of human tissue that can be collected is calculated in square centimeters.

But then again, since Reika Yamada released the word to destroy the Reagan family, she shouldn't have failed to remember the existence of the three-headed dog force, right?

And looking at the Chitengu's neat retreat, could it be...... Isn't the attack over yet......

"What's wrong? Do you care about the Reagan family? ”

Seeing Chen Tan staring at him, Li Pan said,

"I don't care about them, but the groom ......"

Chen Tan naturally knew about Ito Ryoma, thought about it, and handed Li Pan a card,

"The security system has a locator program on each agent that tracks the location and physiology of each Security Service agent.

In the event of an agent's near-death, emergency teams and support units are automatically called, and nearby citizen signals are automatically tracked.

This puppet is intended for internal audits and can only be used once, temporarily disabling the security system's tracking of agents. ”

Li Pan was speechless, "Uncle Chen, look at you, I didn't mean that......"

"Okay, let's take your revenge, there's no end, I'm annoyed if you don't bother me......"

Chen Tan waved his hand impatiently and took a hamburger to nibble.

Li Pan is also a Khan, so everyone saw it, it was the Security Bureau who asked him to take revenge.

"Thanks, oh yes, and those mechs......"

Uncle Chen casually sent the investigation report at the current scene.

"It's all set to self-destruct, and the system is very clean by the puppet. Muramasa Industry said that the test machine was stolen, hmph, it should be stolen. This time, they were able to 'steal' even the Takamagahara military-grade Vulcan Cannon thermobaric bombs, and what else could not be stolen. ”

Seeing Uncle Chen's rotten appearance, Li Panle continued to stimulate him,

"Wow, is your security bureau good, are you seriously maintaining law and order, why are the red tengu fighting more and more?

After being so neat, can we, the law-abiding taxpayers, still go to work and earn money with peace of mind? ”

Uncle Chen glanced at him with the eyes of 'who do you think this is to blame',

"After the demise of the Tokugawa family, the original Four Heavenly Kings were fired from the fleet, and all the retainers under their command were unemployed, and now there are a large number of ronins flowing into the mercenary market, most of them are professional soldiers, and it is not unusual for some people to join the Red Tengu army."

Li Pan also scolded him with the eyes of 'Guan Laozi's',

"Hey, is this part of it? The whole NCPA field in the city has been raised, at least a division, right?

And the fire squid doesn't give severance pay, and there is not even a veteran's pension, in the final analysis, it's still Takamagahara's problem, right?

By the way, speaking of which, I've heard that Yuchai has been very arrogant lately, and now they are openly and secretly supporting the Red Tengu attack on the NCPA, which is simply not giving you face!

Does the bureau really ignore them? Why don't you send me a task, Uncle Chen, and I'll help you get ahead, teach him a lesson, and collect his bones? ”

Uncle Chen listened, nibbled on the hamburger and thought about it, and shook his head.

“…… Forget it. ”

Li Pan was also surprised to see that he actually endured it,

"What? People are scolding your direct unit! The next step is to step directly on the face! ”

But Uncle Chen still shook his head,

"We don't know how to deal with Takamagahara."

"Ahh

Li Pan was speechless for a while,

"Isn't it, Uncle Chen, it's boring for you to be so modest, right? Can't be sure about Takamagahara? Last time, our company only used one Dreadnought, okay?"

Uncle Chen looked at Li Pan, was silent for a while, and finally spoke,

"It's not just these on earth that are called Takamagahara. They also have a fleet in the Orion spiral arm. ”

"Orion?"

Uncle Chen sent Li Pan a star map, but it was different from the common coordinate axis of the solar system, it was milky-handed.

"The solar system is here, the secondary spiral arm between the Centaur spiral arm and the Perseus spiral arm, the Orion-arm, on the Orion arm.

The Orion spiral arm is about 3,500 light-years wide and 10,000 light-years long, which is about 6.3 x 220 million astronomical units.

In this area, there are 5,300 stars and 2,100 galaxies.

Each stellar gravity well may have a fleet of Takamagahara hidden, and every galaxy may have a deep space base of Takamagahara.

However, after the surrender of the Earth, the connection with Orion was also severed. Who knows how many people are still hiding in deep space. ”

Li Pan froze for a while,

"What, what? No, why is Gao Tianyuan so strong? ”

"Is it strong......"

Uncle Chen shrugged,

"It can't be said to be strong, it can only be said that the strategic direction is different.

Is the committee company doing business, they all like to surround the star gate, focusing on the development of the solar system, after all, the heavenly trade system is beneficial to them, since they can trade directly through the door, why bother to go all the way to find resources outside the spiral arm.

Later competitors like Gao Tianyuan were too far away from other universes in the stargate system, so they were more inclined to follow the route of the legion of the year. Expand outward, make the solar system the capital, the Kuiper belt as the moat, and Orion as the core development area, and then continue outward, in the direction of Centaur and Perseus.

So you have no idea where their expedition ships and colonies have gone, which universe, which galaxy, and where there may still be remnants of the legions. ”

Li Pan frowned for a while,

"So Gao Tianyuan really has the strength on paper to argue with the committee?

But since they still have so many outer space colonies and fleets, why do they ...... so easily?"

"Surrender? Of course, it's because I don't have to fight. ”

Uncle Chen shook his head and said,

"Yes, the Legion mode is able to obtain a lot of resources from the universe, but the steps are too big and the stalls are too open, so you can't manage it.

If you do the math yourself, even if it is a WARP500 ship, spanning the entire Orion spiral arm, it will take more than two weeks to jump.

And you can't jump all the time, considering the jump battery load, fuel supply, and the navigator's mental state, it will actually take at least a year or two to sail back and forth throughout the Orion spiral arm area.

For a ship like Takamagahara, where the average speed of WARP is only 5 to 10, it takes even longer. Their colonies are scattered throughout Orion, and even if they have a certain war potential for a protracted war, it is impossible to mobilize repeatedly.

So in the last war, the Security Council combined fleet to raid and defeat the three main Titan fleets that they were guarding the solar system, and Takamagahara directly admitted defeat.

But now, hehe, twenty years later, I think their fleet is almost rebuilt.

And you, heh, fight for a cup, fight so fiercely, you have consumed half of the garrison fleet by yourself, and the spice war has only just begun, and it will not be finished for a while.

Not to mention Europa and Copernicus, who had died so many people, and most of them were military officers, parliamentarians, scientific researchers, and company managers, and all the basic functions of the committee in the local area were about to cease to function. If there is a war, who will organize the fleet?

Look at you, now even the NCPA has been raided, and we agents are left here to pick up the rags, what do you tell me to use to suppress Takamagahara? I'm thankful they don't cause trouble! ”

Li Pan Khan one. It's no wonder that the root of the rampant feelings is here, just counting the strength on paper, and the committee......

"But, but I've also learned about the Takamagahara-based Civil War, why haven't I ever heard of these things? Orion or something...... Is it a new setting?"

After all, the goods in front of him are the culprits of today's situation, and Uncle Chen couldn't help but choke him.

"Interstellar grand strategy is an elective course in the command department of the military academy, you graduated from an engineering school know so much, you just need to be able to repair cars."

Li Pan, "......"

In short, I had a meal with Uncle Chen, chatted for a while, and updated some new worldviews.

When he was full of food and drink, he didn't bother Uncle Chen to collect the body, and walked a few streets with the jar of green shoots, and came to the CIS park, which was not far from the headquarters of the Metropolitan Police Department, where the company building was located at the beginning.

The previous company building was blown up by rivals competing for the Holy Grail, but now it has been rebuilt and is exactly the same. When the bidding war is over, it will reopen.

It's not that the company doesn't have the money to change to a new place, or that it has signed a long-term contract with CIS or something, according to the description of the landline, the company's address is calculated, and it is probably similar to the Vortex Gang crematorium, which is a fixed entrance to the barrier.

Li Pan also took the elevator upstairs as usual, turned on the light, entered the manager's office, and then put the green plant jar in his arms on the desk and picked up the holy grail on the table.

Well, I don't even need a silver key, it's much simpler than I imagined, and it's as easy as going back to the office to get a teacup......

casually tore a few pieces of paper in the office area to pack the Holy Grail, and Li Pan planned to send the Holy Grail to K. As a result, as soon as he stepped out of the gate of CIS, a glittering luxury coupe stopped in front of him and intercepted him.

Kindness? Wait, this car is not ......

The window of the sedan opened, and Yamada REIKA looked at Li Pan with a smile,

"Manager Li, it's such a coincidence, I'll give you a ride where you're going."

WTF…… How could this guy ......

Li Pan stared at her for a while, then rushed into the door of 'defilement' with a blink.

REIKA YAMADA SOAKED IN A POOL OF BLOOD, WHILE YAMADA REIKA SAT IN THE CAR WITH A SMILE.

Li Pan stared at her, "What's your name?" ”

Reika Yamada, "My name is, Reika Yamada. ”

Yamada REIKA, "Oh, it's only been a few days, you don't remember me, it's really a noble person, I'm REIKA." ”

…… Twin sisters? Clones? Robot? Biomicry? Disguised? Optical camouflage? Or simply borrow the identity authority of 'citizen Reika Yamada' to facilitate action.

Li Pan couldn't see through the other party's true body for a while, so he was silent for a while, but he still got into the car.

The coupe took off silently and quickly became invisible in the clouds. And REIKA didn't hide it, and looked at the paper bag in Li Pan's hand with a smile.

"Oh, this can't be the legendary, the 'Holy Grail', right?"

Li Pan hesitated, temporarily suppressing the urge to pour her into the cup and drink it directly,

"What do you want."

REIKA SMILED, "MANAGER LI, YOU'RE STILL A 'TEMPORARY WORKER', RIGHT?" Have you ever considered changing jobs? ”

Li Pan looked at her, "The sage company wants to recruit me?" ”

REIKA SMILED AND SHOOK HER HEAD.

"Not a sage, it's a union of collectors. If you're willing to come to us, you can take on the role of Site Director of S68. ”

"Oh, ACA, just give me Ms. Bella's seat."

"Exactly." REIKA SMILED AND NODDED, "YOUR CURRENT STRENGTH IS FULLY QUALIFIED TO MANAGE THE AFFAIRS OF A SITE. ”

That's right, if you simply use the strength of that big demon to judge whether you are qualified to be the site director, you don't need Beichen Jianqi to hang up before, Li Pan really doesn't dare to say that he will win, but now, it's a bloody abuse.

"Then let's hear how you are treated. What is the annual salary? ”

REIKA SMILED,

"There is no annual salary, and our Collectors Association is not a for-profit organization, but more of an academic exchange for interest. Naturally, there is no monopoly of resources and technology in our country, there is no hierarchy between upper and lower ranks, everyone is an equal ally of mutual assistance, and each site director is responsible for his own profits and losses......"

Damn, it's okay if you don't give money.

Li Pan rolled his eyes, opened the car door directly, and "said goodbye......"

REIKA IS PROBABLY THE FIRST TIME TO ENCOUNTER SUCH A DECISIVE ONE, AND HURRIEDLY SAID,

"Of course, we have a lot of powerful and capitalized members who regularly invest in the association's funds and give grants to the sites. It is used for the maintenance and management of monsters, and every time you get a new collection, you will also get a reward. For example, if you are willing to jump ship with the Holy Grail this time, I think the first investment will be at least 180 trillion. ”

Li Pan laughed when he heard it,

"Yo, even the number of the second bid is so clear, so Terra Holdings is also a member of the Collectors?"

REIKA Jaw Head,

"Exactly, Your Excellency is the acting manager, so you should naturally know that the purpose of our Collectors Association is to break TheM's monopoly on monsters.

Excellent managers like you have always been the target of our vigorous recruitment.

Money is not a problem, if you are willing to join us, the association can help you, remove from the filing cabinet, and get rid of TheM's control from now on......"

Li Pan raised his hand directly,

"Thank you for admiring it, but forgive me for refusing."

REIKA CHOKED FOR A MOMENT,

"You refused decisively, as far as I know, TheM is not treated very well, right? Don't you listen to the conditions here? ”

Li Pan buckles his nose,

"Forget it, when recruiting, don't all talk about the treatment of the sky, and God knows how big the pit is when you join the company. Of course, I'm not saying that I have to fight TheM to the death, but at least I have to be on the winner's side, right?

Your Collectors Association, is it really as awesome as you brag about? If you are really sure to win the company, why don't you show your true skills, win the Holy Grail War, and expel TheM from this world? Then I promise to raise my hands and feet and surrender!

Don't spend a long time, I jumped to you, oh, in the end, I have to fight with the company alone, and I have no money to make, and I am not a person inside and out. Then I might as well lie in the office and clock in. Anyway, the money I've made recently is enough to spend for the rest of my life. ”

REIKA WAS ALSO SILENT FOR A WHILE,

"Manager Li, our association is still in its infancy, and it is not the opponent of the monster company for the time being, but I am indeed recruiting you with sincerity this time.

Honestly, it was very rare for you to push back so many bidders in the past, but now because you chose to side with TheM, the battle for the Holy Grail is no longer possible.

Now it is a very simple cost consideration, with the strength of your reorganized fleet, even if our side is outnumbered, but there is no chance of winning, so if you want to win a decisive victory in the fleet war, you have to follow the bet, at least you have to invest hundreds of billions of budgets, if the war cannot end quickly, the subsequent consumption is even more sky-high.

But what if you really win the decisive battle of the fleet? I still need to defeat you directly to claim the Holy Grail, right? Judging by the combat effectiveness you have shown when endorsing the 'AG-RS' series, this goal is difficult to achieve, let alone the endless monsters of TheM.

What's more, even if we really do our best to defeat TheM, what can we do?

Just get a Holy Grail? Or is this 0791 Earth?

This place is far away from the center of the Celestial Trade, and there are indigenous rebels like Takamagahara, and Akatengu, so all things considered, it's really not worth the price......"

Li Pan looked at her with a smile and nonsense.

One set of things, what he said was as if it was true, if he hadn't just drunk a cup of Yamada Lingxiang sauce and knew that the other party had been coming to the 'whisperer' from the beginning, Li Pan would have almost believed her.

"What, you don't want to play anymore? Want to surrender and lose half? ”

REIKA THOUGHT ABOUT IT FOR A MOMENT, AND ACTUALLY NODDED REALLY.

"Okay, just surrender and lose half, I'll convey it on my behalf and negotiate with Terra.

The price of the Holy Grail at the second bid was 180 trillion, and Terra won the ownership.

As long as your company is willing to pay half the price of the Holy Grail, ninety trillion, Terra will withdraw the bid.

The rest is that you and the other bidders, as well as the Night Clan's deal, not only Terra, but our association is no longer involved. What do you think? ”

Hi! Do you withdraw the bid? ACA not involved? Just kidding, you think the Holy Grail is worth a few bucks, and the company isn't here for you? Is it okay for the main owner to run?

But Li Pan just smiled, spat into his palm, and stretched out his hand,

"Okay, I'm too lazy to fight, as long as you can convince that side, I'll suggest it to the company.

As for the rest, will we talk about it later? ”

REIKA SMILED AND NODDED, TAKING HIS HAND,

"That's a deal."
