The three body-eating snakes are all in the Orchid Tower.
Joker: "Okay, the stage of Phantom Flame Project has been transferred to the Empire. Next, are you ready to wait and see what happens as planned?"
"Well, yes." Seventh Pillar said: "Before the empire's operations progress to the next stage, I will stay with them for a while."
"Haha, the current power of the Zero Treasure can rival that of the disappeared Illusion Treasure," the doctor said.
"Moreover, it has gradually shown potential abilities that the original version does not have. Hum, how far can it evolve?
Just let me see what the Croois family is capable of."
Clown: "Haha, doctor, you are really in high spirits."
"Speaking of which, they finally started taking action?"
"This is actually a good opportunity. We should thoroughly clarify the differences between their positions and ours in the future." Seventh Pillar said.
"Haha, I'll leave those things to you. I will continue to collect data on the Zero Treasure here to confirm whether the ultimate medium to contact people and gods exists!" the doctor said.
...
In the Orchid Tower, Kia looked outside alone.
"Qia." Xiaoyu came.
"Ah, Xiaoyu, is there no problem with your eyes anymore?"
"Well, I no longer feel dizzy, and I can even distinguish colors clearly." Xiaoyu said.
"This is all thanks to Kia, thank you so much."
"Hey, that's great, but this is also because Xiaoyu and everyone at the hospital have been working very hard." Qia said, "I just gave it a push at the end."
"Yeah."
"Moreover, I finally have this kind of power. It would be a pity if I don't use it effectively." Qia said: "Hey, if Xiaoyu's eyes can be cured, it will be worth it for me to become like this."
Xiao Yu: ‘No! I’m really happy now that my eyes are healed. I’ve always felt uneasy because I couldn’t see, and I always felt like I was a burden to my father.”
"I've become good friends with you but I can't even see what you look like. Now I can finally see what you look like. I'm so happy that I even shed tears."
"But, Kia, do you really want to keep going like this? You are separated from Lloyd and the others and forced to do this kind of thing. I think this is absolutely wrong."
"Miss Maria and Mr. Dieter are both wrong, even Dad!"
"Xiaoyu." Kia hugged her gently: "Thank you, I like you the most, Xiaoyu, but I'm fine, because this is a decision I made on my own after knowing everything."
"So, you don't need to worry."
On the other side, at Knox Detention Facility.
Lloyd was locked in a room alone.
El came to see him once.
"Other members of the support section are under protection elsewhere." El said, "I'm sorry to detain you alone in a place like this."
"There's no need to talk about my affairs." Lloyd said: 'But it's too strange to say protection? What kind of force are you trying to protect us from?'
"I think you should have noticed who was behind the attack on Crossbell, and who hurt your immortal Fran."
"But, even so, I still have my own responsibilities, and I also have faith." El said: 'Otherwise, Crossbell will really be destroyed by the Empire and Smith.'
"El." Lloyd said.
"Of course, I don't think that Kia should continue to be treated like that." El said: 'I also don't agree with using the power of those unknown guys from the association.'
"But the empire really used that terrifying weapon to attack us. If it weren't for Kia, they would have used a large-scale guided weapon that would have killed and injured hundreds of people once it hit."
El said: 'So, there is no other way. I'm sorry, I am not qualified to say this to you. You will not be detained for too long. Crossbell will be released immediately after he has overcome this crisis. You, please be patient for a while."
"At that time, I couldn't refute El at all, and I was completely unaware of Kia's distress. I was blinded by the busy work, and even failed to protect the person who should be protected the most."
"The origin of Kia and the criminal who killed my eldest brother, I swore in my heart that I was determined to investigate everything clearly."
Mr. Arios, is it really you?
"Brother, I'm so sorry. As expected, I still can't keep up with you at all. I don't even know what to do in the future."
"It's really ugly. As the captain who cornered our Peter, he now looks so miserable and embarrassed."
In the same room was Garcia: "It's ridiculous that I have been living for more than half a year because of a person like you."
Lloyd: "You don't have to worry about it. It's entirely your own fault that you stay in a place like this. We were able to successfully arrest you just because of good luck."
"That's right, we didn't cross the barrier by relying on our own strength."
"Huh, what a troublesome kid." Garcia said: "But it's understandable. As far as I know, the current situation seems to be quite troublesome."
"IBC is the mastermind behind a series of events, and he has now been appointed as the leader of the alliance. The Red Constellation, the association, the garrison, and the Wind Sword Master have all become your enemies."
Garcia: "Humph, this is harder than drawing a straight flush. Anyway, staying here and waiting for this storm to pass is the right choice."
"Only a complete idiot would resist the current situation, just like your big brother."
Lloyd: "What are you talking about? Do you know my elder brother?"
"It's not as simple as knowing each other. No matter how many times I threaten him, he never learns a lesson and continues to investigate." Garcia said; "But when our son accidentally bumps into a wine stall on the street, he sometimes doesn't care. Invited me to have a drink with him."
"What a troublesome and annoying boy."
"Ha, brother is like that." Lloyd said.
"Really, he didn't look like a guy who would be killed easily, but he died all of a sudden," Garcia said.
"It's so unpredictable."
"Brother, he has been fighting."
"Yes, in addition to our Lubache, he has also investigated many things." Garcia said: 'From the affairs of important big shots and various espionage, as well as the movements of that guy Achim.'
“His energy is so high that it’s jaw-dropping.”
"That's right." Lloyd said.
"Hey, don't get me wrong. In fact, Kai is not a great man."
Garcia said.
"well?"
"In terms of combat effectiveness and intimidation, he is completely inferior to the Sword Master of the Wind." Garcia said: "In terms of his ability to find every opportunity and diplomatic ability, Sergey is obviously above him."
"As for judgment and processing ability, Dudley is still better in one subject. In short, his ability is nothing more than this."
"This." Thinking about it carefully, maybe it is like this.
"If there's one thing he has that's better than others, it's probably his belief in never giving up," Garcia said.
"ah."
"It is precisely because of that kind of belief that he can produce amazing action." Garcia said: "This is also the driving force that allows him to never give up when facing those big shots."
"Speaking of which, that kid didn't care about the surrounding environment, and didn't care about the occasion and atmosphere at all. I was still wondering what happened to this kid."
Lloyd remembered his brother's words.
"Listen up, Lloyd. As a man, when faced with anything in front of you, you have to go forward bravely and try. You have to use your own heart to grasp the truth. In this case, you should be able to find your goal."
"The eldest brother's spirit of never giving up should be formed in order to protect important talents." Lloyd said: "What he wants to protect is not just his own family, but the city of Crossbell."
"In this sense, maybe you Lubache are all the ones he wants to protect."
Garcia: "What."
"Haha, maybe using guardianship is too arrogant. The reason why my brother is trying his best is to find out the undercurrent that brought Crossbell into this situation."
Lloyd said: "On this basis, he wanted to protect Crossbell in his own way."
"That guy is really a huge idiot who is even dumber than an idiot." Garcia said.
"Yeah, I can't be as stupid as him after all." Lloyd said: 'But after all, we are brothers and we still have some similarities.'
"What?" Garcia said.
Lloyd walked towards the detention center door.
"You kid, what are you going to do now? Do you want to escape from here?"
Lloyd: "It's not about escaping, I just want to see the truth clearly."
"As the investigator of Crossbesel's Special Agent Support Section, I must rescue my imprisoned companions and rescue Kia."
Garcia: "Humph, haha, you are also a complete idiot."
"Garcia?"
"Then let me see, let me see what else you can do in this situation, show all your consciousness." Garcia said.
After that, Lloyd and Garcia started fighting.
"You bastard, do you only have this strength? Damn you brat!" Garcia roared.
Guard patrol: "Well, what's the situation?"
"Stop what you are doing!"
: "It's all because of you, you bastard, that we are locked up here!" Garcia: "I'm going to beat you to death."
"Ah!" said Lloyd.
"No, he won't listen at all. I have no choice but to go in and take a look." Guard A said.
"Okay, but don't let your guard down."
The two of them opened the door and rushed in.
I saw Garcia grabbing Lloyd.
"Stop, Garcia, if you don't stop, we're going to take action," the guard said.
Garcia: 'Haha, haha, I'm so sorry that I was impulsive and didn't control my emotions.'
"Asshole, I thought you became a lot more honest after being detained."
"Stop talking nonsense, stand back and raise your hands."
Guard B walked over; "It seems that no matter how short of manpower they are, they shouldn't be locked up together."
:"How are you doing?"
"Me?" Lloyd and Garcia took action together, knocking out all the defenders with one blow.
"I feel so sorry."
Garcia: "Humph, why are you talking about this when it comes to this? When you mainly asked me to beat you, I thought there was something wrong with your brain."
"I didn't expect you to be quite intelligent."
‘Haha, each other, your acting skills are really realistic, but I didn’t expect you to be so cruel.”
"Oh, thanks to this, this performance is so realistic." Garcia said: "I will abide by the rules and help you leave."
"Okay, this is the detention center. There are very few patrols by guards on the third floor. We will find a way to break through the other patrols and we will rush to the first floor to escape."
"Haha, okay." Garcia: 'I haven't done anything for a long time, so let me make a scene.'
The two began to escape carefully.
At this time, the patrol guards came out to change shifts and found someone.
"You are?"
"Too slow!" Garcia said.
"Deal with them!" said Lloyd.
Before the two guards were defeated, the alarm was sounded.
Lloyd: "They activated the emergency system and now we are all exposed."
"Humph, what should we do next?" Garcia said.
"This situation is also expected. Keep moving forward and force a breakthrough." Lloyd said.
Garcia: "Haha, that's it."
The two of them broke through and reached the second floor, where they defeated another group of defenders.
"Having said that, your fighting ability is really amazing. I'm afraid it's not inferior to Randy and the leader of the Red Constellation."
"Huh, Red War Ghost Sigmund? My son has seen him many times before and he is truly a monster. I heard that his daughter is also a very dangerous person."
Garcia said.
"Yes, in terms of combat power alone, they may be stronger than the guys in the association." Lloyd said.
"But there are also many powerful people in the association."
"Hmph, I'm afraid you will have to face those monsters in the future." Garcia said, "You have a very difficult future.
"Yes, that's true." Lloyd said, "Let's go."
The two of them broke through and rushed out of the detention center.
Garcia said: "Okay, our cooperative relationship ends here, you can go on alone from now on."
"What?" Lloyd said.
"After all, I am also Lubache's second-in-command. The headquarters can leave the rest of the people and the president to escape alone."
"Wait a minute." Lloyd said, "In that case, why did you come here with me? After all, even you can't always fight with one against many."
"Otherwise, so will I."
"Don't put the cart before the horse, kid. Didn't you say that? You must see the truth clearly!" Garcia said, "And you must rescue your captured companions and take back the little girl."
"Do you still have time to hang around here?"
"Thank you, Garcia. From my position, I cannot support your escape, but I hope you are safe and sound."
Lloyd said.
"Haha, no need to worry." Garcia smiled.
"Lloyd, that guy's brother has grown up a lot now."
Soon the guards rushed over.
Garcia stood guard: "Haha, the terrain conditions are very favorable to me, let you taste my power."
Here, Lloyd started to run away alone, and on the way he saw that spiritual grass had grown in the wild.
"Anyway, let's escape here to the streets first. Let's start thinking about all the routes."
Lloyd thought for a while and began to move forward carefully. (To be continued)
