He confirmed it through the two clocks on the wall, the watch on his wrist, and the small electronic watch hidden at the hem of his clothes.
These are habits he has developed.
And obviously, once a habit is formed, it is difficult to change.
Rubbing his swollen temples, he casually reached for the communicator.
"Esther? Esther?"
Edmund shouted directly.
"Senior Edmon, are you awake?"
Esther's voice of surprise came from the communicator, which made Edemon sigh slightly in relief.
Ester is okay, which proves that there is a lot of room for redemption.
Edmund knew Lawrence well.
Once the opponent's back-up plan is actually activated, Esther and the others who are closest will definitely have no chance of survival.
"Tell me in detail what happened below."
Edmund pulled out the infusion tube and stood up from the bed, refusing the doctor's inspection.
He is very aware of the condition of his body.
Weak, but only from fatigue.
There were no injuries.
However, after standing up, he still staggered several times.
At this, Edmon smiled bitterly.
It's been too long since I've been in this state, and I feel really bad now.
Edmund felt helpless in his heart.
Esther, who heard the voice here through the communicator, hurriedly asked:
"Senior Edmon, are you okay?"
"fine."
"Tell me what happened after I fell into coma."
"Yes, it happened after you fell into coma..."
Esther spoke quickly, but succinctly explained what had just happened.
Accidents involving two D-class personnel.
Laying out traps to induce mistakes, and then placing guards...
It's totally Lawrence's style.
When he heard that the big lizard seemed to be able to continuously evolve and adapt, Edmund frowned.
The stronger the guard, the stronger the thing being guarded will naturally be.
Moreover, according to Lawrence's style of acting, that thing or existence must be in a state of being suppressed, but able to contain the guards just right!
Once the guards leave.
That thing or existence will completely erupt into a real disaster.
However, given Lawrence's malicious character, it would not be that simple.
What the other party wanted was that after they worked so hard to deal with the guards, they found out that they had done something wrong and killed the guards themselves, unleashing the despair of the real 'devil'.
What could that thing or existence be?
If it can be hidden from the 'Shelter' headquarters, the thing won't be too big, and similarly, it won't be anything unusual under normal conditions.
Coupled with the choice of ‘guards’ and the construction of the underground, this category is narrowed again.
Under normal circumstances, we must be able to see it everywhere.
But once it breaks out, it's something extremely terrifying.
only……
Could such a layout really be accomplished by Lawrence alone?
Edmund knew Lawrence well.
The other party is cunning and cunning, and has a considerable status in the headquarters.
But, that is, ‘quite’.
It's not like covering the sky with one hand in the true sense.
After all, the other party didn't even enter the organization's parliament.
besides!
It is also the most important point!
Why does it happen to be ‘Ang City’?
It happened to be that these were arranged here, and then, such a 'war' happened to break out?
Is it too much of a coincidence?
What is it that I don’t know?
Could it be...
Edmund's eyes narrowed when he thought of this.
He didn't want to admit it, but when so many doubts appeared, only that answer could explain it.
However, Edmund did not say much to Esther.
"I'll come right away."
He just said this.
Some things, the more you know, the better.
Especially under the premise that it is very likely to be monitored.
Edmon walked out and looked at the communicator on his waist.
Then, he used the communicator to call the headquarters.
This isn't the first time he's called.
He passed it before the 'war' broke out.
First, it means that the situation exceeded their expectations.
The second step is to ask for reinforcements.
"I'm Vayne."
A stern female voice came. Just hearing this voice, an inhumane, rigid, middle-aged woman with high power, sharp eyes, combed hair, and glasses will appear in your mind.
.
"I am Edmond."
"The battle situation exceeded our expectations, and the 'Temple's' attack was contained by the 'Night Owl Court'."
"Moreover, 'Hydra' has opened underground shelters to provide shelter for civilians."
Edmund told it truthfully.
"Um."
"What else?"
The other side of the communicator asked in a normal voice.
But when Edmund heard it at this time, it made his heart tremble.
besides……
Sure enough, the headquarters knew about it?
And the time when the communicator was picked up just now, almost instantly... Vayne is waiting for my news!
Edmund, who made a quick judgment, immediately stared at him for a moment.
Does Vayne represent Lawrence's enemy?
Or is it internal strife between the same forces?
Edmund has not seen too much internal strife between the same forces.
The 'shelter' is no exception.
Of course, the 'internal strife' this time may be different.
Because there are also some other existences mixed in with it.
A being who can move the whole body with a single move: the old man who ushered in a new century with a single punch of 'peace'.
Arras’s grandfather!
The 'shelter' headquarters should know the information about the other party in Angcheng.
Therefore, this series of arrangements appeared.
Otherwise, it is impossible to explain at all.
Is it a test?
Edmund thought to himself, and his eyes instantly returned to normal.
"Under the Angcheng base, I discovered Lawrence's 'backhand'!"
"It is currently impossible to specifically determine the danger, but based on the 'abnormality' of contact at this stage, the potential danger should be extremely high!"
"The 'Mask Man' is helping us fight the 'anomaly'."
Edmond spoke truthfully.
"clear."
"Reinforcements will arrive soon."
"Please hold on."
Vayne ended the call after saying that.
Edmund picked up the communicator again, this time it was not Esther, but Percy.
"How's Patsy doing?"
Edmund asked.
"We all went into the underground shelter and everything is fine."
Patsy answered.
"Well, that's good."
"Don't worry, everything will pass."
"We will all gather around the dinner table again and tell Danforth for me that I look forward to her cooking."
Edmond warned Percy as if he was showing normal concern.
Without any extra words, he hung up the communicator.
Hope Patsy can make it in time!
Edmond thought silently in his heart, and after putting the communicator on his waist, he nodded to Clark and Litus, who carried a large number of heavy weapons, special weapons, ammunition and two reserve mobile teams.
"We will definitely be able to kill that big lizard this time."
Litus said fiercely.
He already knew what was happening underground through the communicator.
Although his people did not die in the true sense, the danger frightened the vice-captain.
And Liszt didn't have any good impressions of the big lizard that made him almost lose his subordinates.
"Um."
Edmond did not deny it.
Clark, on the other hand, led the way without saying a word.
The group of people quickly entered the emergency passage and headed underground.
After ending the call, Patsy, who was holding the communicator, looked solemn.
Before the 'war' broke out, Edmond had made an agreement with her that if anything happened, he would contact her and remind her with words of advice and concern.
So, the real answer lies in what I just said.
Danvers was mentioned, but Danvers was with me.
Therefore, it must not be Danvers himself,
Cooking skills?
Anyone who has tasted Danforth’s cooking?
Jason didn't.
The rest had tasted it, but Edemon told us, that is, in his presence.
At that time...
Alas is not here!
Is Alas in danger?!
Patsy quickly guessed what Edmund wanted to express.
Without hesitation, she immediately walked towards the 'Hydra' members on the side.
"Ms. Patsy."
The members of 'Hydra' responded respectfully.
The Patsy in front of him, including the child Stark in his belly, had already been regarded as one of the Hydra's own.
Moreover, he is still a quasi-high-level person.
"Arras is in danger!"
"You must remind her!"
"It should be a targeted trap!"
Percy said.
"clear!"
The members of 'Hydra' nodded, turned around and began to report upwards.
Passing through layers of information, he quickly contacted Alas who was fighting.
At this time, Alas had just punched an 'anomaly' made of rocks into pieces.
"Danger?"
Alas was startled, and it was not because of this news.
It was because, in front of her, a group of people appeared.
This is a heavily armed team with their faces covered. There are six people in total, but their aura is very powerful. As soon as they appear, they surround Alas.
"Ms. Alas, we don't mean any harm."
"We just want to know something from you..."
Bang!
There was a sound like a shotgun blast.
That was the sound of Alas shaking his fist.
She doesn't believe the other person.
Just like Jason said: When you encounter an enemy, strike first to gain the upper hand!
The rolling airflow hit the person in front, causing the other person's words to stop abruptly.
But what is truly terrifying is Alas's fist.
Because of its rapidity, it brought up layers of phantom fists.
Originally, six people were supposed to surround Alas, but under such dense fists, it seemed as if they were surrounded by Alas.
"Automatic rifle. Continuous fire!"
"Ola-o-la-o-la-o-la!"
Alas shouted, his fists getting faster and faster, and their power getting stronger and stronger.
On the rooftop in the distance, a sniper made the final adjustments.
He was going to target Arras.
Before taking action, they made a lot of plans and assigned their own tasks.
And him?
It’s the one who ‘makes up for mistakes’.
He didn't turn the sight immediately, and he didn't even look at the target.
Breathe, breathe.
As an excellent sniper, the opponent adjusts himself.
Then
Click.
The sound of a broken neck was heard.
"Really."
"I hate you the most who hide on the sidelines and are mean."
"After all, he is a hero who saves the city. How can he be assassinated by a dagger in the shadow?"
"Delaying my game play."
Lessius muttered quietly.
Then, he looked up and looked elsewhere.
The gray-haired Sicott waved his hand towards him from the second sniper point not far away, indicating that everything was fine.
When the two met downstairs, Kuya, who had solved the third sniper point, still had obvious anger on his face.
"What's the 'shelter' doing?"
"It's fine if we don't have reinforcements. Why should we attack our own people?"
Kuya said angrily.
“It’s not what the ‘shelter’ is doing, it’s what some people in the ‘shelter’ are doing!”
"In fact, it's not just a 'shelter', we..."
"Ahem!"
"Let's leave quickly."
"It's not safe here."
Sicott interrupted Lessius's words.
This gray-haired member of the 'Holy Snake Society' doesn't want Kuya to know too many dark and ghostly things, although these things have always existed.
Lessius rolled his eyes.
But didn't say much.
He missed his game console.
It's better to go back quickly, so as not to stay here and think about those troublesome things.
The three of them walked forward quickly, looking at the ruins around them, Kuya couldn't help but ask.
"You think Talon 13 will be fine, right?"
She hasn't seen Talon since the last 'date'.13.
And now the main battlefield in Ang City, facing those anomalies, is the ‘Night Owl Court’.
She was very worried.
"Don't worry."
"That one of yours doesn't..."
"Ahem."
"'Claw' 13 is very powerful, don't worry."
"We can both handle it. He is much stronger than me, so there is no need to worry."
Lessius coughed a few times and interrupted Sicotte.
Now he and Cicotte have confirmed that the 'masked man' should be Talon.no13.
Director Harrow should also know.
But Harrow didn't tell Kuya, so he obviously had something in mind.
They don't talk much.
Even for the quiet life now.
After all, Harrow has far more say in his daughter than they do.
I just hope Kuya doesn't find any clues.
Lessius looked forward to it.
In fact, mentioning Jason and praising Jason are too easy to divert Kuya's attention.
"Of course!"
Kuya raised his head and strode forward.
How easy to deceive!
Lessius and Sicott looked at each other and exchanged information.
And soon, the gray-haired Cicotte was praying in a low voice.
"Hopefully the club will not be vandalized."
"Hopefully the ladies I know are safe."
"Hope... everything will pass!"
Lessius glanced at his friend and said nothing more.
Everything will pass!
After all, this is the city where the 'Night Owl Court' has guarded for thousands of years.
There must be no problem!
He firmly believed.
…
Click, click!
Amidst the sound of the elevator descending rapidly, Edmund had gradually adapted to his weakness.
He doesn't have super resilience.
You can only adapt.
Fortunately, he has adapted well so far.
Hope it will be the same soon!
bite!
The elevator reached the floor and the moment the elevator door opened, Edmond heard
'Not only did you eat my flesh, you also insulted my IQ!'
'I will let you die without a burial place!'
Without hesitation, Edmund spoke out to stop him.
But, it's too late.
The moment his voice fell.
Squeak, squeak.
A heartbreaking sound suddenly sounded.
Everyone pictured a door being pushed open in their minds.
It was a double door, old and slightly tattered, made of solid wood. The door frame and the lower half of the two leaves were all made of wood of the same color. The upper half of the door was decorated with a boxy seal carving, which made it square.
The small square wooden lattice should be inlaid with colorful glass, but at this time, it is all gray and white.
It’s not just the glass that’s gray.
Even the double doors are gray.
It's like a black and white TV screen.
And now the big lizard was standing in front of the door.
It pushed open the double doors.
Then, it teleported away again.
And behind the door...
Groups of ferocious monsters appeared.
They seemed to be carved out of the same mold, 1.8 meters tall, with vague human shapes, and were completely black.
As soon as they appeared, they swarmed towards the nearest Jason.
Facing the tide of monsters, Jason took a deep breath, and he felt a certain power turn on in his body.
There is only one possibility for the emergence of this force
