Looking at Payne kneeling on one knee in front of him, East's brows furrowed tightly, and instead of immediately reaching out to pull the other party up, he asked in a low voice, "To be honest, I don't believe you." What you're doing now has made it difficult for us to work together. ”

Alice was clearly moved by Payne's story, and she was about to interject when Esther stopped her with a look. This is not the time to be emotional, although he has doubts about Payne's words, but judging from the expression just now and the change in the other party's expression, what Payne said is true. But the situation is so special that even a thousandth of the danger East does not want to try.

Payne nodded, but still didn't stand up, but asked, "How can you trust me?"

Esther took out a metal ball less than half a centimeter in diameter from his arms and put it in Payne's hand, and then looked at the other party with sharp eyes: "Eat it." ”

Payne grabbed it in his hand without hesitation, threw it directly into his mouth, and then said with a smile: "The taste is really bad!"

Esther finally pulled the other party up, and then said seriously: "I can only do this during the special period." Once out of here, I'll give you the antidote. ”

"I know that if I were you, I might have done it better. Payne smiled, his voice still hoarse, but it sounded a lot more kind, "So, what are we going to do next?" Looking at the alien spider that was getting closer and closer, Payne put away his smile and asked.

East shook his head helplessly: "There is no good way, we can only wait." Try to avoid it, with our current strength it is no match at all. ”

Iskey turned on the virtual screen and looked at the images sent back by the mechanical birds. The city seemed to come to life in an instant, and mutated creatures began to emerge in many places, such as rat tides, wasp swarms, and even mutated scorpions the size of a power locomotive. East marked the location of the mutant creatures on the electronic map in detail.

Looking at the red icons representing mutated creatures covering almost the entire map, the three of them showed solemn expressions at the same time.

"It's going to kill us!" said Payne, who had regained his composure.

"You can only take one step at a time. We're okay. Although we have broken into this guy's territory in a daze, at least we don't have to deal with other mutated creatures, as long as we are careful enough, this place should be very safe. "Esther made up his mind to stay here until dark.

Payne shrugged, without any opinion, anyway, Easter's ability can shield the breath of the Force. At the moment, this seems to be the safest approach. Alice was more direct, sat on the ground with a butt, took out a bottle of canned food and ate it deliciously. Esther also took out two bottles from his space backpack and handed them to Payne.

The three of them sat down on the ground and began to replenish food and water.

"What about the three of them?" Payne asked softly in East's ear after glancing at Alice, referring to the three humans who had been captured by the mutant spiders. Payne's meaning is obvious, more is better than less. For now, we can only watch them fend for themselves.

East didn't want to take the risk, and he couldn't put Alice in danger. Payne's words were clearly a reminder to himself that Alice was most likely going to ask for their help. After all, as a back-up Bishop of Light, sometimes these students have too strong a sense of justice......

"Don't worry, I know what is important. Esther whispered.

But apparently the two of them were too worried, and Alice glanced at the screen before she stopped talking. On the contrary, the two Easters were a little curious, Alice looked at the faces of the two and understood what was going on, and she replied with a smile, "Don't look at me like that." I'm not a saint. If my safety is at stake, I'm in no mood to care about others. I just want to wait safely for Dean Catherine to solve the problem of coordinates, and then let us teleport out. ”

East couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "Good enlightenment." As long as you have this idea, you can definitely live for a long time. ”

Alice gave Esther a blank look, obviously the other party's words were very teasing. She took a sip of water and asked, "Who did you say tampered with the coordinates, and it stands to reason that there are very few people in the Santa Maria Women's College who can do this." What kind of strong man should be able to make trouble under Dean Catherine's nose? I heard that Dean Catherine is an Awakened Hero Eleventh Level. ”

"You're asking me about that. Esther waved his hand, apparently not at all at all. His gaze looked at Payne on the side, "What do you say?" ”

Payne stroked his bald head. After pondering for a long time, he said, "I'm not sure, but before you come to the academy. There's a big deal here. ”

Alice's eyes lit up when she heard this, obviously her gossip heart was already burning, and she hurriedly asked, "What's the big deal?"

"The powerhouses of the Dark Realm have invaded the Academy, and they seem to want to snatch some of the Academy's treasures, if it weren't for the Knight Leader of the Starlight Crusaders, the guys of the Dark Realm would have succeeded. ”

"You mean that the coordinates have been tampered with this time and have something to do with the people of the Dark Realm?" Esther asked with a frown, it seems that his luck is really not ordinary, in the confrontation between the two camps, if you are not careful, you may become cannon fodder.

Payne nodded: "I'm not sure, but there is a good chance that they should have done it." ”

"Then we're good enough. Esther said helplessly.

"Look, look!" Alice suddenly pointed to the screen and whispered.

The two Easters hurriedly looked over, and then their faces changed drastically.

In the mechanical bird's vision, a blood-colored portal suddenly appeared in the clearing of the street. The crimson vortex swirled, and the mutated creatures around it began to gather towards the portal.

The trio held their breath and stared at the screen without blinking, as Esther began to connect to the contact channel and began calling Catherine.

"Dean Catherine, there's a situation here, we have a blood-colored portal that has just formed. East described what he saw in detail.

There was a brief silence in the contact channel, and a message came into view before long.

"I'm Catherine, please join the following crypto channel. ”

Esther received a string of codes, and the reading screen flashed.

"I'm Catherine. The dean's slightly tired voice came from the crypto channel, "Easter, right? ”

Hearing this, Esther began to repeat what he saw, and there was silence again in the encrypted channel, and it took a long time for Catherine's voice to sound: "East, the situation is more complicated now, and I can't explain it clearly for a while, I want you to set up a task in the name of the Holy See of Light, monitor this portal, and report every move there in this encrypted channel in a timely manner." Once the quest is completed, the Holy See will reward you accordingly. ”

"When will the coordinates be corrected, and how will we get out then?" Easter didn't care about the Holy See's reward, no matter how generous the reward was, it would be in vain if he didn't take his life.

"We're actively looking for a way to deal with it, but I can't give you a definite answer right now, and once we do, we'll open several portals on the third level. ”

Listening to Catherine's somewhat perfunctory answer, East's heart sank, and he said in a calm tone: "Dean Catherine, I will work hard to complete the task. ”

"Good. Catherine said with joy, "Keep the channel open and report in time." ”

East glanced at Alice and the two, and then typed a string of text on the virtual screen: "Wait and see, we can't leave here for the time being." ”

Alice and the others nodded in understanding, and then their eyes fell on the screen, staring closely at the red portal.

Alice turned on her processor, wrote a line on the virtual screen and asked, "Where do you guess the portal is connected to?"

Esther and Payne glanced at each other while writing four words on the virtual screen: "Dark Realm!"

On the top floor of the teaching building of Santa Maria Women's College, Catherine sat behind her desk with a sad face, and in front of her was a one-person high virtual screen.

The entire screen was split into ten pieces, but each one was covered with a snowflake, and there was no signal at all. Catherine rubbed her temples and manipulated the keyboard in front of her from time to time.

"Catherine, how's it going?"

The ten split screens on the virtual screen dimmed at the same time, and then the image of a thin middle-aged man emerged.

He had a resolute countenance, a knife-like face with sharp edges, a black head meticulously combed behind his head, his temples already gray, and his left eye was covered by a golden blindfold engraved with runes. He wears heavy armor, and the intricate patterns make him look extraordinarily gorgeous.

"Captain Sphinx, the situation is not optimistic. There is a guardian knight who has already appeared in the Crimson Gate, and I am afraid that the third layer will not be breached for long!" Catherine said with a gloomy expression.

The Sphinx frowned, and there was not much expression on his majestic face: "The underground trial ground has the most powerful defense system in the entire Bright Realm, and this degree of fall is inevitably ......"

"If it weren't for the fact that this defense system was created by Lord Santa Maria, I'm afraid this place would have already been captured. Catherine interrupted the Sphinx.

After a short silence, the Sphinx's rigid tone was full of tenderness, and he spoke again: "If you can't hold it, you can evacuate first, and we will take over." ”

"What about the children in here, are you going to give up on them?" asked Catherine, a little excited.

"If the Underground Proving Ground is breached, you should understand what that means. The Sphinx said in a firm tone, "If necessary, whoever it is, we can only give up!" (To be continued)
