At the same time, when the duel on Qiu Xuan's side had just ended, You Dusk and the others were still continuing to advance through the underground underground whirling corridor.

During this period, You Du used the communication equipment of the D wheel many times to contact the lost Sima Yingying and Gwendolin. But the other party never responded.

I was able to make a call, but the other party never responded.

"No, still no one answers."

You Twilight closed the contact information of the D round, and she couldn't contact them for a long time, which also made You Twilight start to worry about where the two of them went. Why not?

Shi Fang comforted You Dui from the side: "You Dusk, the two of them must be fine." Since they can get through, then maybe they are just in a coma temporarily, and when they wake up, they will find our communication records, and maybe they will take the initiative to contact us. ”

"Well, that's right. It is now imperative to stop the conspiracy of the Iliaste organization...... Well? ”

Suddenly, Twilight receives a communication, which is a video shared by the whole team, and it is also the communication of the crow.

When connected, a crow's avatar appears on the screen. "Guys, the planetary gears on our side have stopped! Next, me, Qiu, and Qiu Xuan will be waiting for your rendezvous on the side of the sun gears, you must win! ”

This news is undoubtedly good news and a good start.

On the other side, Z-oNE had noticed a halt in the movement of a planetary gear.

"Has it stopped so soon...... But as long as there is not a single cog that stops, our plan will not end. I'll leave the rest to you, Apollia, Paradox. ”

……

At the same time, somewhere in the cradle of the arc......

"Hmm...... My ass hurts......"

Sima Yingying woke up and said the first sentence. "Strange, am I the only one here? Where has everyone gone? It's so dark. ”

With that, Sima Yingying took out her mobile phone, turned on the lighting system, and after emitting light, she provided a hint of light from the surrounding dark environment.

"It looks like we're really in the cradle of the arc somewhere, and it looks like we're separated from everybody. Alas? There seems to be something ahead. ”

As she spoke, Sima Yingying got up and walked in that direction, and within a moment, the light shone on a woman lying on the ground motionless, which frightened her a lot.

"Wow! Is it possible...... Yes Yes Yes Yes ...... Corpse! No, this back looks a little familiar...... It's Gwendoline! ”

After recognizing the true identity of this "corpse", Sima Yingying hurriedly ran over, squatted beside her and shook and shouted.

"Hey! Xiao Lin, Xiao Lin, how are you? Still alive? Cheer up! ”

As she spoke, Sima Yingying patted her lightly on the face, but she still didn't wake up.

In addition to worrying, Sima Yingying lowered her head and leaned on her left chest, listening to her heartbeat. Sima Yingying was afraid that she would not have a heartbeat, and she had been dead here for a long time.

But fortunately, Gwendoline still had the sound of her heartbeat, and she was relieved to confirm that she was still alive.

"Hey! Gwendoline! Don't pretend to be dead if you're still alive! We're running out for time! There's no time to sleep here! If you don't wake up, I'...... I'm going to hide you in the cupboard and eat all the cup noodles you bought with Yudu! ”

"No way!"

"Hmm——!"

Suddenly, Gwendoline sat up on the spot with her eyes open and hit her head on Sima Yingying's chin. Clutching her chin in pain, she crouched to the side with her teeth bared.

Gwendoline shouted, "That's the cup of noodles that You Dusk bought with me, you are not allowed to eat it without permission!" ”

"Woooooooooo......oo You're finally awake! ”

Sima Yingying covered her chin and cried bitterly: "I thought you were dead, since you are still conscious, don't lie there and pretend to be dead!" ”

Seeing that he hit Sima Yingying's chin, he kept bowing 90 degrees in a panic, and kept repeating that he was sorry. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Sister Yingying, I didn't mean to...... I'm ......."

Gwendoline apologized so panickedly, which also overwhelmed Sima Yingying: "Hey, slow down, don't have such a big reaction...... I'm sorry that you apologize to me like this, and besides, there are also things wrong with me, I'm too worried about you, and the means of waking you up are a little rough. ”

"But ......"

"Alright, good! It's just a small injury, and you didn't mean it, so you don't have to feel guilty. ”

Sima Yingying comforted Gwendoline like a child who had made a mistake and wanted to cry.

"I said stealing your cup noodles just to scare you, and you know, I'm not interested in cup noodles, I just like donuts. I just said that just to wake you up. ”

"Woo...... Yingying, you're so nice. ”

Gwendoline wept bitterly with emotion: "Once, when I first arrived at Prometheus, I was slapped on the shoulder of the king even a little while walking, and warned me to 'be careful of who I am, a reserve cadre, to nod and bow in front of me as if a servant met his master.'" ”

Sima Yingying hugged Gwendoline, who was moved by this incident, and comforted her: "Don't cry, don't cry, we're all friends who treat each other equally, and we're different from those guys." ”

At the same time, she thought to herself, "What has this child experienced in Prometheus?" The heart is so fragile. ”

"Doodoo ——!"

Suddenly, Gwendoline's pocket vibrated with a mobile phone, and Gwendoline stopped crying for a moment and took the phone out of her pocket.

At first glance, the electricity was Oriental twilight, and Gwendoline smiled like a flower that bloomed after bathing in rain and sun. After connecting, You Dusk's worried voice came first.

"Xiao Lin! Yingying! Are you all right? I've contacted you several times and you've had no response! ”

"Twilight!"

Hearing Twilight's voice made Gwendoline feel extremely relieved. I didn't realize that the voice of the man who saved me always calmed my heart.

Gwendoline: "We're fine, Twilight. Where we are now is not clear, it is pitch black all around, but it must be somewhere inside the arc cradle, where are you now? ”

Twilight replied, "We've started splitting up now, intending to stop the Arc Cradle!" Now the gears on Crow, Sixteen Nights, and Qiu Xuan have stopped running. ”

Sima Yingying took the mobile phone from Gwendolin's hand at this time and asked, "So that means that other places have already decided on who to go to?" We don't have to participate in a duel? So we are here, is there any need? ”

"You have other tasks!"

Twilight instructed the two girls, "Although I don't understand why the Red Dragon separated you from us alone, since you have been scattered, it means that you have other things to do. ”

Sima Yingying: "Other things to do?" What is that? ”

"First of all! I'm sending you a diagram of the internal structure of the arc cradle that Antinomi sent me! So that you will not just act blindly where you are. ”

In a moment, Gwendoline and Sima Yingying's mobile phones sent a diagram of the internal structure of the arc cradle.

"You guys are based on this diagram! Look for weaknesses in the rest of this arc cradle! For example, if the core of the purification device can be found and destroyed directly, it may be possible to stop this disaster without a duel. ”

"I don't think it's likely."

Sima Yingying put forward her own views at this time. "Paradox has been preparing for this plan for a long time, and has spent a lot of effort to prevent us from reaching the arc cradle at any cost."

"Even with the core of the so-called purification device, Paradox certainly wouldn't leave something so important! If I were Paradox, I would be prepared with all sorts of traps or elaborate defenses to protect this core. Paradox is not stupid! It is impossible not to think about this! ”

"That's true."

Twilight doesn't object to this, "But it's imperative to do everything you can to prevent the Arc Cradle's purification device from releasing energy. There is not much time left for us now, and if we can't stop them in the next less than four hours, Shinto Mino City is finished! This world will also be covered by the power of purification! ”

"A future born of destruction! It will never be a bright future! So please also please, in the meantime, you two do your best to find the weakness of the arc cradle, we need to stay behind! In case we don't stop it all, it's up to you! ”

"I see!"

Gwendoline took the phone and agreed: "You can fight with confidence!" We'll do what we have to do too! Rest assured! Twilight! ”

Twilight: "Well, I believe in you! ”

After that, You Dusk's side hung up, and Sima Yingying and Gwendoline also began to discuss the matter here.

Sima Yingying: "Since we have a map, let's take a look at the most suspicious places on the map!" Maybe we can do it without a duel! Of course, I'm just doing great things. Nothing to do with robbery! ”

……

On the other hand, although tasks were assigned to Sima Yingying and Gwendoline, their safety was actually more important. After making sure they were okay, Twilight was relieved for a while.

"It's great that they're okay."

Shi Fang was also happy for You Dusk. "That way, we can fight with confidence. Are you scared? The battlefield of this final battle is gradually approaching. Maybe if we lose, we'll all die. ”

"It's impossible to say you're not afraid."

You Du smiled faintly, "It can be said that my mood is very nervous now, thinking about the city...... No, the fate of this world just puts me in my own hands, and it's really nerve-wracking. But no matter what difficulties lie ahead, I will not give up, because I am not fighting alone, but we are all fighting together. Even if we are separated, it can't change the fact that we are fighting together! ”

"Paladox, the guy who planned this so-called human purification evolution, launched his brand new experiment, and I won't let him succeed."

……

On the other side, Jack, Long Ya, and Long Ke are on their way to the second planetary gear. Here they are closest to the position of the second planetary gear.

Long Ya grabbed one side of Jack's D-wheel and stepped on the skateboard, driven by Jack's D-wheel: "Now, we have no way back, right?" ”

Jack asked rhetorically, "Why, are you starting to get scared now?" ”

Ryuya scratched her head: "Well, it's impossible to say that you're not afraid. After all, we are about to face the last enemy. The battle is about the entire city...... No, it's about the fate of the world. There is no room for retreat now. ”

"That's right! If we fail, we'll all end up dying here. ”

Jack's expression was firm at this time, and he clenched his fists tightly: "However, I won't let this happen, no one will die!" In the end, all of us will return triumphantly! ”

Long Ke nodded: "Hmm! Everyone will come back safe and sound! ”

Soon, the three of them came out of the narrow passage and came to a very spacious place.

In front of the platform that connects the planetary gears in front of you, in the middle is the darkness that stretches as far as the eye can see. Passing through here, the three of them came to the platform.

This is the site of a second planetary gear, and under their feet, gears that rotate in the opposite direction emit the light of a perpetual turning machine.

Jack looked at the buildings and settings around him. "Is this where the second planetary gear is located?"

"That's right!"

Suddenly, in the middle of the pillar that ran through the gears in front of him, a door filled with light opened. A burly macho man wearing a white tights and long clothes who was very good at playing cards, wearing mechanical equipment, appeared in front of them.

Long Ke was shocked by the appearance of this man, he should have lost and had already fallen into the lake and was damaged: "How could it be ......?"

Ryuya: "You are ......"

Jack: "Apollia! ”

Apollia walked to a distance of less than twenty meters from them and stopped.

"It's the planetary gears that are running under your feet right now! But you can't stop him! Because I'm here to watch! ”

As he spoke, a hole suddenly opened in the surrounding buildings, and three machines with display lights flew out of them, and if they were not careful, they were attached to the left chest of Jack, Long Ya, and Long Ke.

Suddenly this thing was installed, and Ryaya asked while trying to remove it, "What is this!" ”

Long Ke also tried to take it off, but he couldn't do anything: "No, I can't take it off!" ”

Not only that, but the three of them suddenly appeared under the feet of something like handcuffs, and their ankles were tied.

"Damn! What do you mean? Get me down...... Not! ”

Before Jack could finish speaking, a sudden stabbing pain came from the chest of their left arm, as if several needles had pierced into the chest, straight to the heart.

The three of them clutched their chests and looked pained: "It hurts! ”

Apollia pointed to the three of them with a blank face: "So you can't run away!" If you plan to run away, the needle in your chest will pierce your heart! ”

"What!" The three of them were shocked when they heard this.

Apollia opened his arms and explained, "I'm bound to this planetary gear. Unless you defeat me, you can't stop the planetary gears, and even the monsters summoned by the traverser can't violently destroy the planetary gears! ”

When Jack heard this, he was not afraid or retreated, this kind of duel that risked his life had long been accustomed to it.

"Humph! Come on! Let Ben Jack Atlas defeat you! ”
