On the airship, the special agents in black confirmed the mission of the trip. Their first purpose was to recover the gospel, and secondly, they pretended to be personal guards and blamed the attack on the central workshop on the royal guards. Finally, they wanted to imprison Russell.
Dr. Er brought it back to the headquarters to analyze the gospel.
The first purpose is consistent with the content of the gospel plan, and the second purpose is also in line with the requirements of the coup plan, but the third purpose makes Ling feel that it is unnecessary. It is actually very simple to make the gospel stop the phenomenon of guidance, as long as it is near it
Just activate any modern force guide so that Gospel can receive the guided force wave. There is the Royal Army's own research institute in Reston Fortress. It won't take long to figure this out. Put Dr. Russell
Taking it back will only make people in Chase panic, and if any clues are discovered, it will be troublesome to deal with the aftermath? Or does it mean that Richard feels that there is no need to deal with the aftermath.
Ling learned from Levi that within this week, the Royal Army had been controlled by the intelligence department commanded by Colonel Richard. The main generals were either bribed or deprived of their freedom. Even General Morgan, Lieber's god of war, is currently
He has also been placed under house arrest at Haken Gate. Colonel Richard has become the de facto leader of the Royal Army.
Is it because you feel like you have a winning chance?
Even Alan Richard, whom Levi spoke highly of, was not immune to this kind of human weakness when it seemed like he was about to get the fruits of victory.
Ling also had a hard time understanding why Wiseman gave directions to the guerrillas in the game plot and told them the news that the special agents were in the Red Lotus Tower. Was it just a bad joke?
In the original plot, without the information provided by Wiseman in the Guerrilla Association, the guerrillas might have spent a few more hours in Chase to collect intelligence. As a result, the men in black kidnapped Dr. Russell
will successfully retreat from the Red Lotus Tower. In this way, there will not be a series of plots such as Agathe blocking Tida's gun, Agathe slapping Tida, Tida taking care of the fainted Agathe, etc.
There is a high probability that Tida will not participate in the subsequent plot... Stop, stop, this is the plot of the game, Ling believes that these future "possibilities" should not be matched with the actual situation.
Whether it is due to her original intention or due to the coercive force generated by the absolute suggestion, in order to make the gospel plan proceed smoothly, such extraneous things must be avoided as much as possible.
In addition to being an executor, Ling herself also has the identity of a scholar. Dr. Russell is a senior on the road of scientific research, and she holds a negative attitude towards behaviors that threaten Dr. Russell's life safety. More
What's more, when she stayed at Tida's house two days ago, Dr. Russell Sr. was quite nice to her. It reminded her of the time when she was taken care of by Grandpa Yorugu in the Rozenbelk workshop.
Finally, it was also the most critical reason that made her determined to protect Russell. Even if it was just to prevent Tida from being sad, she had to prevent Dr. Russell from being kidnapped by the secret service.
Even if they have some doubts about the mission assigned by their superiors, a soldier's bounden duty is to obey. The calm and composed agents lurked in Chase until nearly noon the next day, until they identified Gondolf, the last guerrilla affiliated with the Chase branch.
After leaving Chase, they started to take action.
Non-toxic and harmless chimneys were installed throughout the Chase Central Workshop to make people mistakenly think there was a fire.
The search was carried out after the staff of the central workshop hurriedly escaped from the central workshop due to a fire alarm.
Shouts, footsteps, and warnings were all drowned out by the sound of rumbling machines.
In the studio, Dr. Russell was using a cutting device driven by an internal combustion engine to cut the outer shell of the gospel. The huge noise made by the machine was like a beautiful melody in his ears, and he was so immersed in it that he turned a deaf ear to the outside world.
There was a "crash", and the door to the studio room was forcefully opened from the outside. Russell thought it was someone from the central workshop looking for him, but when he raised his head, what he saw was a group of guys wearing black weapons.
He was pointing a machine gun at himself.
"Hey, who are you!" The sudden situation made Dr. Russell a little confused, but he soon felt uneasy.
"The first target is found. The third target is found. Now execute the capture command."
The three men in black divided into two groups. One went to take away the gospel on the workbench, while the other two continued to point guns at Dr. Russell, asking him to obey the orders of the men in black. Russell
Although the doctor wanted to resist, the skilled special agents took out a towel soaked in ether and covered Dr. Russell's mouth and nose. After just a few seconds, he passed out.
Just when they were about to move Dr. Russell away, a sudden gust of wind blew the man in black to the left of Russell away. When the other two people came to their senses, Dr. Russell in the room
Dr. Searle has disappeared.
"Fa, what happened?"
"No matter what, let's take the first target back first."
Ling watched as the men in black disguised themselves as royal guards and transported the gospel away, while she carried the unconscious Dr. Russell on her back, followed the stair escape passage to the first floor of the central workshop, and followed the last escapees.
Got up and went outside.
In the square at the entrance of the central workshop, a large number of employees have gathered. Looking at the workshop that is still smoking, everyone looks like they are surviving the disaster.
"Huh, uh, uh, I thought I was going to die..." Director Teles from the calculation room patted his chest.
"It's fine." Madok's workshop manager checked the surroundings and breathed a sigh of relief after seeing familiar faces. "Okay, these are all of them."
"Yes, yes, all the regular staff are here." Hazel, the receptionist at the central workshop, confirmed the list of employees.
"Koubo Chang-san!?"
At this moment, a somewhat urgent voice of a young girl came from the direction of the escalator.
"Oh, it's you, have you returned from Almo?"
Joshua, Estelle, Tida, and new reporter Dorothy. The two would-be guerrillas had previously accepted a commission to repair the water pump in Almo Hot Springs, and Tida volunteered to help.
As for Dorothy, they met her on the road.
"What happened?" Estelle asked Maddock straight to the point.
"It seems that some kind of gas has been produced inside the building. There is smoke everywhere from the basement to the fifth floor." Maddock said to her.
"Could it be a fire?" Joshua asked with some concern.
"The fire extinguishing device has not been activated, so it should not be a fire. However, I really don't know why there is smoke coming out." Madoc closed his eyes and thought for a while before answering Joshua.
"Well, um, workshop manager, where is grandpa?"
"Oh." Madoc looked back at Hazel, "Hazel, you should have confirmed it."
"This, this...it has been confirmed that all the staff are here, but Dr. Russell has not come out yet."
"What? Is he still in there?"
Dr. Russell retired from the Central Workshop almost twenty years ago, so he was not on the employee list, and several people ignored this issue for a while.
"Ah!!!" Tida was shocked when she heard this, and she quickly looked in the direction of the workshop door.
At this moment, a petite figure emerged from the smoke, carrying an old man on his back and walking out of the workshop.
"Ling-chan! Grandpa!"
Tiida recognized the two people who appeared from the central workshop at a glance. She immediately ran over and, together with Ling, laid the unconscious Dr. Russell flat on the ground.
Estelle and Joshua looked at each other and followed immediately.
"Are you...Xiao Lian?" Estelle recognized this kawaii girl at a glance. In addition to being surprised by her strength to carry Russell effortlessly, she was also surprised by why she did so.
She was confused to appear here. Joshua beside her said nothing. When Tida called out the name "Ling", Joshua suddenly felt a strong sense of déjà vu.
"I just happened to be visiting the central workshop. Dr. Russell will be left to you." After Ling finished speaking, she took a step back and made room for a few people.
"Ah, what's wrong with grandpa! Why is he unconscious!?" Tiida was concerned but confused, with an expression as if she was about to cry.
"Don't worry." Joshua squatted down, checked Dr. Russell's condition and made a judgment, "He was just knocked out."
"Xiao Lian, I have a question for you. Have you seen any strange people in the central workshop?" Estil asked.
"Yes, the big brothers in handsome blue and white uniforms seem to be looking for something in a hurry. Maybe they are looking for this."
Ling took out an artificial crystal the size of a fist from her pocket. After answering Estelle's words, she handed it to Tida.
"The central device of the guidance calculator Capel! Why is Ling-chan here with you!"
"Because when I lived in your house, I heard you two bragging about it countless times, so I just wanted to go and see it today. Who would have thought that something like this would suddenly happen." Ling had already saved it on the card.
All of Perry's data was copied to the guidance calculator Mars. The guidance calculator itself no longer had much value to her, so she generously returned it. In the future, she will have time to give Mars a test.
If she upgrades, she is confident that she can create a better directing calculator than Capel.
"Thank God. It's great that Capel is okay." Director Teles from the calculation room quickly came over. He was in a hurry to escape and couldn't care about it at all.
If the criminal's purpose was to steal... Joshua and Estelle looked at each other and thought of the black force guide at the same time.
The two guerrillas decided to go to the central workshop to find out what was going on. Tida originally planned to go there, but she agreed to stay after the two persuaded her that it was best to stay with Dr. Russell.
After the two left, Ling leaned into Tida's ear again and gave her some reminders.
"Tida, I think Dr. Russell is likely to be the target of bad guys. Maybe your personal safety will be used to force the doctor to submit."
"Ah!? Then, what should we do?"
"Don't be so nervous. Instead of finding a place to hide, I think it's better for you to stay in public. That way, even if the bad guys have some purpose, it won't be easy to attack, right. In addition, you can also go to the Guerrilla Association for help?
Those two guerrilla brothers and sisters just seemed to care about you."
"Ling, can't you stay here? You are so powerful, you will definitely be able to protect me and my grandpa. Please stay, please." Seeing the almost pleading tone of the other party, Ling's heart softened. But here is the coercive force of the hint.
Suddenly, she had an attack, and I poured cold water on her unconsciously.
"No, Tida. I will probably leave Chase today, so don't underestimate yourself. At this time, you should be strong. You have to remember that you are not fighting alone.
." Ling raised her hand and touched Tida's head. Although Tida is a little taller than Ling, Ling actually feels like a sister in this situation.
After listening to Ling's words, Tida also calmed down and nodded towards Ling.
After getting Tida's permission, the adults around moved the unconscious Dr. Russell to a bed in a nearby grocery store. It took about thirty minutes for the old man to regain consciousness.
"Grandpa, grandpa, you're finally awake!" As Dr. Russell regained consciousness, Tida, who had been frowning for half an hour, smiled again.
After seeing Tida and Ling, Dr. Russell was a little puzzled. He didn't understand why the two little girls appeared here, and he didn't understand why he was lying on the bed.
"Oh, it's Tida, I remember I seemed..." Dr. Russell's eyes widened in the middle of the recollection, "Those guys' target is the black force guide!"
At this time there was a knock on the door outside the room.
"excuse me."
"Please come in."
After receiving permission, Estelle and Joshua, who had dismantled all the smoking devices in the central workshop, came to the room. As part of the investigation mission, they needed to collect information from Dr. Russell, the witness of the crime.
