At the same time (?), in Cairo's black market, in a hidden spot in the ruins of a certain building.
"Well..." Albert's original self was still lying on the ground to rest, trying to eliminate the physical fatigue as much as possible, while also trying to close his eyes and rest in order to concentrate on controlling the actions of his clone.
His clone is still escaping with the cassette and the jar, avoiding the enemy and heading towards a crowded place in the city. Normally, Albert would have fled to the center of Cairo's black market, where the crowds are the largest.
It’s a dense place. Unfortunately, the impact of Moby Dick’s attack on the city yesterday is still continuing. The Cairo black market is not operating normally today, and almost no one is setting up stalls to do business in the black market. Although there are indeed a few people in the black market.
, but these people can’t do anything at night. They will definitely turn a blind eye when they see Albert being chased by a group of assassins. So escaping into the center of Cairo’s black market is not the best choice. Albert must go through
On the edge of the black market, break into the actual central square of Cairo. Even during this period of city-wide martial law, there will definitely be people in Cairo's central square, at least there are guards guarding the mayor's office building. Among the guards
Under their surveillance, those guys who were chasing Albert would definitely not dare to mess around.
This is indeed the plan. But there is indeed still a long way to go from the Black Edge to the center of Cairo, and you have to pass through the dark old city with complicated roads, which is more troublesome. This is also the time when you are most vulnerable to attacks by the group of assassins, so let
The whole plan failed. It was like the darkness before dawn, the most difficult period before everything ended.
Despite this, Albert still controlled the clones to fight, dodge, and escape without slacking off at all, and at the same time, they pushed towards the safe area with unstoppable momentum. No matter how powerful the assassins were or how many there were,
You can't catch the erratic clones that can appear and disappear at any time!
But when he controlled the clone with all his strength and his original body lay motionless on the ground, something slowly approached him.
The shadow of a woman slowly crawled towards her, then suddenly jumped out before Albert could notice anything, and immediately grabbed the tiger man's young man by the throat.
"Huh?!" Albert was shocked, and what he saw when he opened his eyes was Chanel.
------And the three tentacles behind Chanel that are ready to move!
It's those things again! Didn't he use a weapon to cut off the tentacles from Chanel's back before? Why are they still there?!
And looking at Chanel's dazed look now, she is probably controlled by the tentacles again, or in other words, by the guy who originally implanted these tentacles on her back------Desperado Stan---
---Under control!
"Chanel...! Cheer up!" Albert struggled to squeeze out such a sentence. But his advice was useless, Chanel couldn't listen at all, and was completely controlled by the enemy.
She tightened her grip on Albert's throat, and the tentacles on her back also wrapped around the tiger man's body, squeezing his waist and legs until they rattled!
Oops! If this continues...!
Bang. Albert, who was almost knocked unconscious, suddenly disappeared without a trace.
That's right, Albert, who is lying there pretending to be his true self, is actually a clone. The real him is hiding in another shadow of the building, observing everything happening here, as if he doesn't trust being controlled from the beginning.
Chanel! Now his true form has rushed out in an instant, slashing continuously with the knife before those tentacles could react. Once again, he cut off three octopus tentacles from Chanel's back!
"Uh...cough cough cough cough!!" After the tiger man finished this series of actions, he began to cough violently. The damage suffered after the clone is released will be fully returned to Albert's original body.
, so he also felt the pain and suffocation of being strangled just now! Despite this, his guess was not wrong. Chanel was still controlled, and this control was estimated to be very long-lasting. If the elf girl was not sent back
Britannia undergoes removal surgery, and those octopus tentacles with regenerative capabilities implanted in her body will always control Chanel's actions!
"Chanel, Chanel?" He shook her as she fell to the ground.
It took Chanel about ten seconds to recover from her trance, and she quickly understood what had just happened: "I'm being controlled again? Are you okay?"
"Hmm..." The tiger man subconsciously touched his neck. In fact, there was a deep bruise on his neck, which was made by Chanel himself. He did not tell this.
, but changed the subject and said: "You are indeed still controlled by Stan. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. I will take you back to the battleship Britannia. I hope they can perform an operation to remove the implants on your back!"
"No..." Seeing the tiger man coming over to pick her up, Chanel pushed Albert away: "I'm just a burden, you can escape by yourself."
"How can you do this! Let's run away together!" Albert said angrily: "This time I took such a big risk to come here [to exchange hostages]. If I fail to rescue the hostages, wouldn't it be in vain?"
?"
"Listen, stupid tiger..." Chanel half-knelt on the ground, covering her chest, as if she was working hard: "Just... as long as I am still controlled by Stan, you are with me."
It will not be safe...you...you have to take the jar...take your son...and the cassette and escape by yourself. Even me.
....Rescuing you will only make you useless...This plan will definitely fail!...Don't underestimate Stan and the people in the academy, understand...
.Do you understand?"
"But------"
"No [but]! Go quickly!" Chanel urged: "Fortunately, he can only mentally control me and let me do things according to his wishes, but he cannot know my precise location. I am hiding in this ruins,
He can't be found for a moment. I have no problem here, you can escape first! The cassette and the jar containing your son are more important, much more important than me!"
"...Are you sure he won't find you?"
"No, don't worry." Chanel gasped: "And their first priority right now is to intercept the cassettes and cans. They don't take into account our free time. This is an opportunity."
Albert gritted his teeth and was a little at a loss. But he also believed that Chanel was right. If he wanted to save both sides at the same time, the result would definitely be that neither side could take care of it. The cassette was Chanel's hope to save France, and the jar was Al
Albert's biological son, as long as he fails over there, everything will be in vain, but here Chanel seems to be able to continue hiding for a short time. Albert sent the cassette and can to a safe place, and there is no way he can come back to save people.
Chi. Putting the two together, it is of course very simple to get the answer ------
"Wait for me, Chanel. I will come to save you." He said. Then he left his woman alone and quickly and quietly ran out of the ruins.
"Huh..." Chanel fell to the ground, and the tentacles on her back slowly grew out again. When they finish regenerating, Chanel will probably fall under Stan's control again.
"You are such a lying girl." From the deepest part of the ruins, the desperado Stan walked out slowly: "You always bring us trouble, so much trouble. I already wanted to kill you, but this time I
I won't kill you. That tiger's clone technique is indeed too powerful. If he really wants to escape, my stupid and stupid men probably won't be able to stop him. So I'm sorry, but I have to ask you to be a hostage again.
.As long as we let him know clearly that you are still in our hands, he will not dare to hand over the cassette and can."
"Huh. You think of him too simply. He already knows that the fetus in the jar is his son. In this case, he will not let go again." Chanel smiled calmly and said: "Orcs attach great importance to their families.
Don’t you know about your own family?"
"The orc also attaches great importance to his lover, so he will definitely come back." Stan also approached with a grin: "Compared to the child who is not even born yet, strictly speaking, he values you more as the lover who is already living in front of him.
.He will come back."
"So you are really an idiot, Stan." Chanel suddenly narrowed her eyes and smiled.
"Varied------"
Strike!! Before the desperado Stan could react, he had already been cut into two pieces by the sharp blade!
"Of course I will come back." Albert has appeared behind Stan. The blow just now was of course his fault!
"Huh?! How could...!" Stan, who was chopped to the ground, was squirming with blood all over his body. He turned around and looked at Albert in surprise: "You have obviously...
!"
"The one who ran away just now was just a clone I released. It was just a trick to trick you into showing up. Of course my true self will not abandon Chanel." Albert looked at the struggling monster on the ground coldly: "My son
You can only choose one or the other with Chanel? Do you think I’m an idiot?”
"Only children make choices, adults of course - I want them all!" He struck down, and the Black Moon Kobelco scimitar had already shattered the desperado Stan's head.
That's right. If Stan controls Chanel, no matter where Albert takes Chanel to escape, it will not be safe. Chanel will only become a burden, a shackle, and a burden to Albert.
Then reverse your thinking and just kill Stan in order to relieve the burden!
------Without the person responsible for control, of course the person being controlled is free!
"What a wit." Chanel got up from the ground. From now on, she had actually understood the intention of the tiger man youth and was cooperating with Albert's acting.
Now, once Stan's head is crushed by Albert, she can clearly feel that the mental control she has been subject to is lifted. The suffocation that was originally like being suppressed by a huge iceberg now disappears as if the ice and snow have disappeared.
