Chapter 120 The second thing to remember

Chapter 120

Three rules for investigators to kick the door:

1. In an unknown place, you must be in awe of the unknown and take steps at every step.No matter which direction things are going, it is always foolish to act without thinking.

2. Don't blindly touch and observe suspicious things in the enemy's base camp. When you find something suspicious when you are acting alone, stay away immediately and join your teammates before making plans!

3. When the situation is in danger, never leave your companions to escape alone! ——In the action of kicking the door, one person's action is the most dangerous, which is much more terrifying and unpredictable than the visible and tangible enemy.

Finally, I wish you all a successful investigation journey———

Acting "sensibly" and ensuring "sensibility" is the most important thing, isn't it?

......

In the center of Longmen City, the administrative building.

The surrounding area fell into a dead silence due to a power outage.Except for the noise of the crowd coming from the street in the distance outside the door, there is nothing else.

"Miss Angel, please come here."

At the corridor entrance of the hall on the first floor, Xu You stopped in front of the safety door that entered the stairwell.

"Eh?"

"Use your halo, the power of the flashlight is limited, we need your help before that."

"....okay."

He turned around and called the Sakota girl who was wearing a bright fluorescent tube among the group of five to come to him.

With the help of the bright light above the angel's head, Xu You could clearly see the floor plan on the outer wall of the fire safety door.

"25 floors, the first ten floors are office buildings for ordinary government employees, and every five floors behind are areas under the jurisdiction of different departments..."

Staring at the icons showing changes in the overview and room deconstruction between different floors, Xu You thought silently.

Due to the fact that the electric box in the block was destroyed by Mostima, in order to get to the top floor where the Governor's Mansion is located, a group of people can only use the stairs.

As for the administrative building located in the center of Longmen, its division is as follows: the first to tenth floors are the floors where most ordinary government employees work, including but not limited to canteens, lounges and other employee activity facilities.It's not too surprising, from the perspective of Xu You's observation of the hall on the first floor.

And the tenth floor to the fifth floor of No.20...is a bit special.

Looking at the different floor layouts clearly marked on the firefighting map, I recalled what was told to him by a certain inspector of the Guards Bureau when chatting.From this, Xu You can judge that if the governor is really not defenseless, the road after the tenth floor may not be easy.

The design of the corridor of the administrative building is not like other buildings, there is only a straight staircase leading from the first floor to the top roof.

Important high-rise buildings often need to consider more fire safety, so here, each floor has two fire steps, one at the front and one at the back, which can be passed up or down to deal with changes from time to time——The premise is that Both stairs are in normal use.

And now? ...Glanced at the closed metal rolling door at the other end of the hall, which couldn't be opened after a lot of kicking with swords and kicks. In desperation, Xu You opened his mouth:

"Miss Texas, let's stop for now. If I'm not wrong, the metal door should be made of D32 steel. Unless high-explosive bombs are used, it will not be easy to open it."

“…”

Holding a lightsaber made of origin stone, he glanced back at Xu You who was leaning on an umbrella staff.In the end, Texas gave up tinkering with the front door and chose to return to the team.

"You have to think about it, the stairs here are written to be unreachable above the tenth floor. If you go this way, the other party will definitely set up an array to welcome us on the tenth floor... If the other party is not stupid."

Glancing at the sign next to the corridor here [the steps leading to the tenth floor and above are blocked by debris, please take the other way], Texas said seriously.

Since entering this gloomy building, Luper's keen intuition told Texas that what is hidden in this building is not that simple... After all, this is the highest place that symbolizes the power center of Longmen. place.

A place like this, even if it is affected by a large-scale power outage between emergencies, wouldn't it have its own independent oil-fired power supply to ensure operation?

But even so, nearly half an hour after Mostima destroyed the power supply equipment in the block, this dimly lit building remained silent... This is abnormal, very abnormal.

Even Texas felt that even if Mostima did not destroy the power supply equipment, the owner of this building would immediately shut down the power supply system of the entire building after realizing their intrusion-in order to make them unable to use the elevator. Instead, he had to go through the ambushes set up layer by layer, and catch the turtle in one breath.

"Of course I know what Miss Texas is worrying about... blocking the road on the tenth floor, forcing us to go through the tenth floor to the other side of the stairs and continue going up. This is not an incomprehensible conspiracy ,Is not it?"

Turning around slowly, he took out a small flashlight from his pocket, and pointed it towards the dark corridor, Xu You stepped forward.

"The layout of every fifth floor after the tenth floor is different...Even if Miss Texas successfully destroys the door of the corridor on the first floor, you can be sure that the fifteenth floor, twenty floors, and even every floor after that At the first level, the other party will not repeat the same trick?"

"This......"

"My purpose, and what we are up against, I have explained to you before, Miss Texas."

Feeling Texas' hesitation, Xu You slowly spoke again:

"The existence of those distorted creations is a mistake. If we don't pull them out, we can't afford the hidden dangers they bring... Otherwise, why do you think I let Miss Mostima go Do these things."

"..."

Amber wolf pupils shone wonderfully in the darkness, listening to the man's words with the same tone, Texas was silent for a moment.

Twisted and terrifying creations, the reason why I and the angels were knocked out on the way back from the lower city... Does the thing that this man said really exist on the land of Longmen?

What is the governor trying to do?What good would it do him to keep that kind of thing... Texas didn't understand, couldn't figure it out.

"If you feel uneasy, it is too late to go, Miss Texas. I think Miss Laplande will be happy to have you by her side when she wakes up, if you like."

People express anxiety, even fear, of the unknown — and Texas is no exception.

Xu You understands this kind of emotion, so he will not force everyone to follow him to face it together... The choice he gave Texas is when she follows them into this dark corridor. before the steps.

Of course, if Texas dares to walk with them, Xu You will also do everything he can to ensure her safety... He has a way to ensure the safety of everyone except him, even in unforeseen circumstances. A time of resistance.

"Haha, don't be too nervous, Mr. Xiang just likes to bluff people. We have dealt with the big ones before, so what can we get out of this small place~"

Seeing the stagnation in the atmosphere, Nian came out who couldn't stand it anymore and joked - she was not used to this kind of omen of surrender before a fight. Although one cannot act impulsively, it is not a good sign to shrink back.

"If you feel scared, just hide behind us. The shield we made with our own hands is the most indestructible thing in the world. No matter what kind of monster it is, it can't take an inch."

"Yeah, Texas, it's not our Penguin logistics style to retreat. Anyway, Mostima and the others are here, so what do we need to worry about~"

"Miss Nian, you can be an angel..."

Hearing the confident voices of the white-haired woman and the Sakota girl beside her, their eyes moved. In the end, the hesitation and anxiety in their hearts were gradually suppressed.

"Let's go, Brian first..."

Whispering his lips, Texas was trying to keep up with the man at the front of the queue.

"Ding, ding..."

But when she hadn't finished speaking, she suddenly heard a sound like some small parts rolling down from above the steps.

"...?"

That is.....?

Everyone, including her, looked forward almost at the same time——

It was a metal cartridge casing that reflected the light of the flashlight.

It was slowly rolling down from the upper steps...to the feet of the man in the front.

......

Chapter 120 [-] The Color of the Stars

Chapter 120 Three

Bullets?

When they noticed the object illuminated by the flashlight, the eyes of the group headed by Xu You all changed at the same time.

This is not a common thing, in this world of Terra, which mainly uses Originium skills to drive hand crossbows.

The price is high and the power is limited. Except for Lateran who is most proficient in making guns, it is almost difficult to see normal people using "guns" as weapons in other places.

What's more, this is the target building they are about to break into.

There was no sign, and it was extremely weird.

This is a strange omen for those who are about to move forward.

Passing the flashlight in his left hand to Mostima who was closest to him, Xu You bent down and picked up the falling bullet casing.

"Miss Can Angel,"

Holding the bullet case and turning it in his hand, looking at the series of numbers on the metal case, Xu You raised his eyebrows:

"Can you recognize the model and place of manufacture of this shell? I think you should know something about it based on your extensive knowledge of firearms."

Handing the bullet casing to the energy angel behind him, Xu You waited for her answer.

"Huh? This is the ammunition that is only equipped with assault rifles. I usually use this kind of ammunition..."

After receiving the shell, Angel Neng held it in front of his eyes, looked at it, and then said awkwardly:

"As for the serial number on it...well, Mr. Bryan, you know that firearms enthusiasts don't necessarily understand bullets, so I'll just..."

"A charge-type repeating gun...is that so?"

His eyes stayed on Angel Neng for a while, squinting, Xu You seemed to be thinking about something.

"Well, speaking of which, except for the Lateran Sakota, there are very few people who own a repeating gun other than a short gun. I didn't expect to encounter it here. It's really rare..."

With puzzled eyes, the angel can talk to himself.Apparently, even she had no clue about the scene.

"...Miss Mostima, how is the surrounding situation?"

"Until the third floor, there was no movement, and there was no special smell. This shell case should be a sundry that accidentally fell on the corridor, if other possibilities are not considered."

Just before everyone came back to their senses, the black staff in the blue-haired fallen angel's hand was taken out and put away.Facing the man's question, he answered seriously.

"Then let's continue going upstairs... In addition, the scope of an investigation should not be more than one floor away from the team. Please remember it in the future, Miss Mostima." Xu You said with a solemn expression.

"Huh? Dana, are you caring about me...Okay, I get it~"

Smiling, Mostima said leisurely - obviously, this Miss Fallen Angel has enough leeway for most things before actually meeting the enemy.

.....

Relying on Mostima's outstanding investigation, they climbed four flights of stairs to the fifth floor without any danger.

The narrow chimney-shaped corridor is extremely quiet. Even if you just step on the steps, you can form a melodious reverberation that echoes to nearly half of the building.

Compared with the danger that everyone predicted in their hearts at the beginning, it is better to say that it is so plain that it is a bit weird. For the Governor's Mansion in the center of the city.

Going five more floors, it's the tenth floor...

Looking at the empty office hall connected by the door on the fifth floor and the fourth floor below, Xu You's line of sight changed somewhat.

He always felt that something was wrong... the moment he stepped on the stairs from the first floor.

"Mr. Blaine, what happened? Why don't you keep going? It's only the fifth floor, and everyone is still strong enough."

Seeing the hesitation of Xu You at the front in front of the five steps, the Angel in the back was a little puzzled.

Their goal was to be on the 25th floor at the top, and they only walked less than one-fifth of the way. Could it be that this man's feet are weak?It shouldn't be so, although Mr. Blaine seems a little bad at sports, but his strength is not enough...

"Daina, did you notice something? I have carefully inspected the first to sixth floors, and there is nothing special about it."

Noticing Xu You's weirdness, Moss immediately stepped forward and asked.

Although her personal ability and investigation told her that there is no strangeness around her, Xu You's stop and go is also worthy of her attention-she still trusts the man in front of her, after all, his ability is better than she has ever seen. Any one of them would be amazing.

"..."

Hearing Mostima's voice, Xu You turned around.

His eyes lingered on Mostima's figure for a while, wondering if it was Xu You's own illusion, he always felt that there had been some changes in Mostima's body, but it was an unexplainable change.

It increased with each round of her investigations. Although it was difficult to observe in such dim light, Xu You could still roughly see... with his sense of sight that he had dealt with many things.

Something was wrong, yes, something was wrong...he should have known it when the shell that was supposed to belong to the bullet in the Angel's gun fell out.

"Dana?"

Seeing Xu You staring at him silently after turning his head, Mostima was also startled.
