Chapter 68 Heaven?

Agent?

Avent looked down at Hawthorn, who fell to the ground, with undisguised disgust in his eyes.

Not to hate agents.

But simply hate Hawthorne.

Avont knew very well that Hawthorne wanted to be more than just a so-called agent.

Rather...

Chips!

In that place, the opponent can survive and live better chips.

Because, there and here have been cut off for too long, and there is a need for a... 'person' who knows what's going on here.

Facing the disgust in Avent's eyes, Hawthorne smiled.

"Don't worry, when I tell you the situation here, I will definitely have some reservations. Then, I will tell you some things there when I find a chance. Of course, for safety, I will also reserve some."

"Look, isn't it fair?"

Hawthorne said and started cross-legged to make himself less embarrassed.

"fair?"

"If it weren't for killing you now, it would be useless, you would have died countless times by now."

Evante said coldly.

"Of course, of course!"

"I believe you want to kill me."

"But it's best for us to work together now."

Hawthorn waved his hand, and it was this simple action that made him panting.

Then, the contemporary Pope, who had just sacrificed most of the 'Temple', turned his head and looked in the direction of Angcheng.

"Where is 'that' you said now?"

"Explore the world... I have explored all the places I can explore."

"Where will he be?"

Hawthorne asked himself.

Then, Hawthorn smiled again.

"To show my sincerity, let me tell you a message first."

"Lawrence buried a 'bomb' in Ang City!"

After speaking, Hawthorn deliberately paused and looked at Avent.

Hawthorne was slightly taken aback when he saw Avante's calm and unwavering eyes.

Then, the contemporary pope reacted immediately.

"Etdemon?"

"The Edmond that Lawrence regards as his greatest enemy?"

"Really good people."

"It's a pity I didn't get a chance to see him."

With such words, Hawthorne didn't look at Avante again, he looked at the night sky, and then looked at Angcheng again, his eyes were fixed on this building that was flickering with lights and fires in the night. The city of , muttering to himself in his mouth:

"Where there is a place to expel me, there is a place to welcome me."

"Avante, we..."

"See you in heaven!"

The voice fell, the contemporary great pope had no breath, and the body was reduced to ashes at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Avante looked at the ashes, and after a moment of silence, he raised his head and glanced at the night sky.

Or rather, farther than the night sky.

It's just that he doesn't have the slightest envy, inquiry and curiosity.

He now hopes that his son will get married as soon as possible, and then give birth to eleven or two healthy babies with the lady Jennifer. He will take them to build a farm outside the city, farming, grazing, fishing, if any To be able to inherit his swordsmanship, that is the best thing.

As for heaven?

Shit!

It was worthless in his eyes.

However, the destruction is still to be destroyed.

otherwise……

He had trouble sleeping and eating.

Avante glanced at the night sky again, and there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.

Do you really think his sword intent is so easy to resist?

As soon as he lifted his cloak, in the outskirts of the late night, with the voice unique to that cloth, Avent turned and disappeared into the darkness.

The things of heaven, he wrote down.

After that, he will deal with them one by one.

And now?

Angcheng's matter is more important.

Especially when his son was on a mission of vital importance.

...

Edmund breathed a sigh of relief after watching the battle on the screen where Arras, Dybala, Sheba, and Iokate had the upper hand.

"Bring me a cup of hot cocoa."

Edmond said.

Immediately, a left-behind mobile team brought the hot cocoa that had been prepared long ago to Edmond.

Thick, hot cocoa with a lot of protein powder added, making it difficult for ordinary people to swallow.

But for Edmond, it was far from enough.

"Continued Cup."

After drinking three drinks in a row, Edmond felt the tingling in his brain a little better.

He rubbed his temples, continuing to ease the pain.

After about two minutes, the 'them' in his mind temporarily rested.

But one doesn't.

A 'he' that completely mimics 'Lawrence'.

'Is it the limit? ’

'It really disappointed me. ’

'In vain, I treat you as a great enemy, and arrange it layer by layer. ’

The 'Lawrence' looked at him sarcastically.

'thanks. ’

'I just want the salted fish to live forever. ’

'It's good to lie there and do nothing! ’

‘I have already reduced my sense of existence as much as possible, why are you still persecuting me? ’

He questioned the other side.

'because……'

'As long as you live, I can't sleep or eat! ’

The 'Lawrence' said, staring at him maliciously.

'You didn't become mine. ’

'I also refused my invitation over and over again. ’

'And you've shown great talent, and that ridiculous sense of justice. ’

'How can I not destroy you like this? ’

'Unfortunately, you are not only talented, but also very lucky. You have escaped my layout twice in a row. Sean's assassination is even more ridiculous. Instead, it alerted you and fled to Angcheng. ’

'It's a pity. ’

'Lawrence' said coldly, a sigh appeared on his face.

He remained silent.

At this moment, he is absolutely rational, he has no feelings as a 'human', he just keeps analyzing and summarizing.

The conclusion drawn before that came up again.

Moreover, compared to the previous blur, this time it is clearer.

‘It wasn’t that I fled to Angcheng. ’

'It was you who arranged me to Angcheng. ’

'Because here, you have a chance to come back from the Jedi! ’

'because……'

'Angcheng itself is your first layout. ’

He said, raised his head and looked at 'Lawrence'.

'Lawrence' nodded without refuting.

'good. ’

'Here is my initial layout. ’

'Then guess, where did I put my chance to turn the tables? ’

Saying that, the usual malice appeared on the face of 'Lawrence'.

'In...'the shelter'! ’

he answered.

The malice on 'Lawrence' face stiffened.

'It's not hard to guess. ’

'You were the top of the 'Asylum'! ’

'If you want to set up in Angcheng, you can't do without the 'shelter'! ’

'Then, what could be more suitable than the stronghold of 'Angcheng Shelter'? ’

'The 'Angcheng Shelter', which is already underground, digs down a few floors, or leaves a secret passage in the dark, and an elevator leads to it, which is the most suitable for you. ’

He looked at the stiffness on Lawrence's face and said slowly.

As he said this, he paused.

'Do you want to hear me say that? ’

He asked suddenly.

'Lawrence' kept his face stiff, and his eyes were full of shock, as if he didn't understand what he was saying.

And he continued to speak.

'You will definitely arrange a chance for a comeback in the stronghold of 'Angcheng Shelter'. ’

‘However, there must be more than one chance of this comeback. ’

'According to your character, you will definitely add an insurance to the last chance! ’

He said with certainty.

The stiffness in Lawrence's face, the shock in his eyes disappeared.

Then, 'Lawrence' sneered.

'What do you know? ’

'That was a lore! ’

'Even if you know, you can't change anything! ’

'Like the previous two times! ’

'Lawrence' accentuated the 'twice' in the words, and then 'Lawrence' stared at him, hoping to see the pain and sadness on his face.

Unfortunately, at this time, he did not have these emotions at all.

On the contrary, the words of 'Lawrence' revealed more.

'really……'

'It was a coincidence that it appeared there. ’

'You are also just borrowing this coincidence. ’

'It fits your style. ’

He said, then, after a pause, he continued: "So, will there be a problem for me to choose to sacrifice my comrades in arms, or to destroy the entire Ang City?"

'you guess! ’

The malicious smile appeared on 'Lawrence' face again.

Then, 'Lawrence' disappeared.

He returned to his normal state.

Edmond rubbed his temples, wiped his nosebleed subconsciously, and then picked up the communicator.

"Aster?"

"It's me, senior."

"The secret passage has been found."

In the communicator, Esther's voice came.

"Very well, wait for me, I'll..."

Before the word 'to' could be said, Edmond felt that his eyes were darkened, and the world was spinning, and Edmond fell to the ground.

"director!"

"Doctor! Doctor!"

The members of the mobile team who stayed behind quickly helped Edmond up and roared to the side.

"Soldier, report the situation of Senior Edmund."

Esther's voice was directed in the communicator.

"Report, Director Edmond is in a coma!"

Listening to the words of the mobile team member, Esther, who is currently under the 'Asylum' base in Angcheng, frowned. His eyes were full of worry, and he said directly to Clark and Lites standing beside him: "You two, please go back to the top and help take care of some senior Edmunds and take over the entire base at the same time."

"The battle is not over."

"Experienced people are needed there as conductors!"

Seeing what the mobile team captain and vice-captain wanted to say, Est immediately said.

Then, he pointed to a secret doorway that had just been searched in front of him: "As an investigator, I have more experience in investigations, and this is more suitable for me."

Clark and Litus looked at Esther, and finally nodded.

"Be careful!"

The two exhorted.

Then, the two rushed to the side of a ten-man mobile team and issued an order.

"You are under the command of Mr. Astor for the time being, understand?"

"clear!"

The members of the mobile team responded with salutes.

After Esther watched Clark and Litus enter the elevator, he took a deep breath.

His heart was very anxious.

The calmness on his face at the moment is just pretending to be calm.

From the description of Senior Edmund, he knew very well who that 'Lawrence' was.

A smart but wicked guy who will do anything to achieve his goals.

Could such a bastard leave behind a simple one?

In fact, since Senior Edmund confirmed that they were in the Angcheng 'shelter' that they were in, he began to investigate.

A large number of personnel invested, almost turned the 'shelter' over, and just discovered the 'secret passage' left by the other party.

A 'secret passage' hidden in the emergency evacuation passage in the 'shelter'.

The emergency evacuation channel is a special channel that every city's 'shelter' will have, created just in case. It is the last escape route prepared by the 'shelter' for the members.

Therefore, no one usually appears here.

As for turning it on?

Even more impossible.

Because once it is turned on, it means that something irresistible has happened.

Everything here will be uploaded to HQ.

Then, the containment breach plan is activated.

Esther didn't expect it to be an emergency evacuation channel at first. He turned the entire base over, and he didn't find it yet, but still firmly believed in Edmond, he opened the channel directly, and then , and then found a 'secret passage' in this passage.

Bait headquarters to be held accountable?

By this time, Esther didn't care at all.

What's more, he has a legitimate argument: a large number of 'abnormalities' attack Angcheng, and they need to evacuate.

The 'secret road' is about 100 meters long and goes straight down. It has elevator facilities and a backup power supply.

click!

The sound of the motor starting echoes below the 'secret passage'.

This was the sound of Clark and Lites leaving in the elevator.

Esther glanced at the dark place in front of the 'secret passage' again.

Unlike just now there will be a wall lamp every 5 meters, here, the front is dark.

It seems to be telling everyone who enters here, the difference ahead.

Unknown and dangerous.

It seems to be hidden in that darkness.

Esther took a slight breath and turned to look at the person behind him.

"Everyone, now we need to work together."

With that said, Esther's gaze turned to the extra members of the trip: Bob, Hosea.

These are the two who once appeared near the 'abnormality', and who had bad deeds, but survived.

Naturally, it is impossible for such a person to leave the "hospital" member.

Therefore, the two honorably became D-class members of the 'Asylum'.

Not a class D.

d-, the surrogate of the consumable member.

"d-1667, d-1668."

"Now start exploring the front."

Esther gave the order directly.

Bob No. d-1667.

Hosea number d-1668.

The two are also fully armed at the moment, wearing protective clothing, headlights, body cameras, communicators, oxygen tubes, etc.

However, no weapons.

D-Class personnel do not need weapons.

Weapons are also not allowed.

"Yes."

Bob and Hosea didn't refute Esther's words, let alone resist. They were pointed at by ten submachine guns. As long as they didn't want to be beaten into a sieve, the two knew what they should do.

With great reluctance, Bob walked in the front and Hosea in the back. The lights on the foreheads of the two dispelled the surrounding darkness, allowing Esther to see the general appearance of the front.

Not much different from the road I've traveled before.

After walking for about thirty meters, a platform appeared, which was a platform connected to the stairs, and it became darker and darker.

Almost at the same time, Bob and Hosea stopped.

"d-1667, keep going!"

"d-1668, check your surroundings!"

Esther gave the order again.

"Why is it always me?"

The thin, bespectacled, slightly gloomy-faced Bob grumbled.

The gray-haired Hosea smiled.

"The next one won't be better."

Hosea said so.

"May you not die well!"

Bob gave Hosea his middle finger and started walking towards the stairs.

The two are not in a friendly relationship, they are just different 'prisoners', waiting for the 'prisoners' to be released after completing this mission.

To a certain extent, it can even be regarded as a competitive relationship.

Because, in this mission, only one person can be forgiven.

Bob wants Hosea to die if he can.

Hosea?

the same.

So, Hosea looked at Bob's back and spat hard on the ground.

All this, Esther didn't see, but the sound was enough to let him know what happened, but he didn't stop it.

D-class personnel, as long as they don't do anything out of the ordinary, he can forgive them.

After all, consumables.

For the next time, Astor watched the actions of the two D-class personnel through the screen.

Hosea's search was well-established, but Bob's had something noteworthy.

When Bob stepped down the stairs, the bright enough headlights not only dimmed a lot, but the range of light was much less, only a narrow range in front of him.

And, what's more, the stairs in front of them all seem to be the same.

Each floor has 13 steps, and there is a 3-meter semi-circular platform. After rotating 180° on the platform, you can continue to descend.

Ten floors have gone down, and every floor is the same.

Esther found out.

Bob, who was walking in it, naturally found it.

He swallowed, but he kept going down.

And just as Bob passed the semi-circular platform this time, his footsteps suddenly stopped.

"d-1667, move on."

Estelle ordered.

"Didn't you hear, sir?"

"There are children's cries!"

Bob reflects truthfully.

The cry of a child?

Esther frowned. He didn't hear what Bob said. After adjusting the instrument, he didn't hear it.

"you sure?"

"Is he still here?"

Esther asked, and at the same time, switched the channel to a mobile team member's headset.

"Here I am!"

"Very clear!"

Bob answered.

The mobile team member shook his head to confirm that he did not hear.

"d-1667, move on."

Esther said.

Bob continued forward, and as he passed another platform, Astor heard muffled 'please', 'help me', and 'down'.

The members of the mobile team next to him also confirmed this.

"d-1667, can you still hear this voice?"

Astor asked.

"Yes, sir!"

Bob gave an affirmative answer.

"Keep going, and stop if you encounter an abnormality."

Astor says, the screen continues with Bob's first point of view.

The voice of the child in the headset was still vague, and it didn't seem to have gotten any closer because of Bob's progress, and the surrounding darkness seemed to be getting more intense.

Bob's breathing began to quicken.

Such a voice clearly reached Esther's ears.

"Sir, I feel something is wrong."

"Sir, I beg to return."

"Sir..."

Bob spoke very fast, but before Bob finished speaking, the voice stopped abruptly.

"d-1667?"

"d-1667?"

"Please answer!"

"What's the situation?"

Estelle asked questions again and again, but did not answer at all.

From the screen, Bob is still at the first angle of standing, it has not changed from high to low, and there is no left or right offset. Bob should still be standing.

It's just that standing like this is like a statue, motionless.

And just as Esther continued to call Bob, a face suddenly stuck to the camera that Bob was carrying, and the whole picture was completely presented on the screen.

It was a human-like face, but 'he' had no mouth, nostrils and pupils, just a face with dull eyes staring straight at Esther off the screen.

Esther's heart tightened.

Breathing a little slower.

The members of the surrounding mobile team even subconsciously picked up their guns.

But the next moment, the face disappeared.

Also consumed is the camera.

The screen becomes pitch black.

Esther frowned. He stared at the dark screen, paused for a second, and said, "d-1667, the list is erased."

"Sir! Sir!"

"I found out!"

Just when the list of d-1667 was erased, Hosea, who was d-1668, suddenly opened his mouth and said, which attracted everyone's attention and looked at another screen.

There, on the originally solid wall, a downward corridor appeared.

"d-1668, report the situation."

Esther said.

"There is also a secret door here, which should be what we want to find, and the stairs just now should be a trap."

Hosea truthfully reported how he found the secret door.

At the same time, he expressed his sympathy for Bob and hoped that Bob was safe-different channels, so that Hosea did not know what happened to Bob.

Of course, even if he knew, Hosea wouldn't care.

He will only be glad that he survived and is free.

"Very well, d-1668, please explore the corridor in front of you."

Esther gave a new order.

"Yes, sir."

Hosea said this, and gave a similar salute.

He was in a good mood.

Because, he knew that in this competition with Bob, he was still the winner.

That's what he is, always winning.

There is luck and experience.

Just like in front of him, experience told him that since there is what he is really looking for, it should be very safe here.

However, Hosea still had the necessary vigilance.

He went down slowly.

After walking about 20 meters, suddenly there was a sound of gears turning in the wall on one side.

Click, click.

A row of two-finger-thick pipes suddenly appeared on the dark, smooth walls on both sides, from which a liquid with a characteristic smell was gushing out.

"hydrochloric acid!"

Hosea instantly judged what these liquids were. He flexibly pulled back a few steps to avoid such a spray, but the spray of hydrochloric acid did not stop.

It doesn't seem to be a trap, but... is extracting?

Hosea made a preliminary judgment.

"D-1668 report."

"Sir, there is a row of pipes here. It seems to be extracting hydrochloric acid. I didn't detect the end of the corridor. I should be in the middle. What's inside, I can't be sure for the time being."

Hosea reports in detail.

And just when he was reporting, the hydrochloric acid that was drawn out from nowhere was getting bigger and bigger.

Even Hosea, in hazmat suit, had to retreat to the entrance.

He didn't move away, because when he came to the entrance, there was a lot of accumulation, like the hydrochloric acid that filled the pond, and it just disappeared.

"There should be a drainage device on the ground that I don't know about!"

Hosea guessed.

Then, he was ready to continue into the corridor.

But at this moment, a low roar came from a place where the strong headlights could not shine—

Roar!

Hosea didn't react at all, and he was knocked flying.

Huge force crushed Hosea's body.

He also destroyed all equipment, looking at the dark screen, Esther shouted without hesitation: "Alert!"

Although he didn't see anything, what happened to Hosea was enough to tell him that something "escaped" from that corridor!

And his intuition told him that it was a terrible thing!

Because he felt an unprecedented crisis.

Unconsciously, Esther gripped the gun tightly.

It's not just Est who feels this way.

The same goes for the members of the mobile team.

After Esther shouted, they immediately dispersed, staring nervously at the dark corridor one by one. One of the members, after receiving the captain's order, threw a flare directly at the dark corridor in front of them.

boom!

Under the brilliance of the flares, the darkness was dispelled.

The escaped monster finally revealed its true colors.

That is……

A large lizard!
