Elaine walks (climbs) in front, while Gordon walks in the back, navigating through the narrow ventilation ducts.
Although Elaine's white lion transformation inherited from Leo is weak in physique and has many shortcomings, its petite stature and agility are very useful, making it suitable for moving in tight places.
Of course, Elaine will never admit that Leo, a white lion, is useless. Even if he is weak, Leo is——
His tail was pulled, and his thoughts were interrupted.
"You, what are you doing?" Elaine turned to look at Sir Gordon behind her.
"I'm sorry, your little butt and butt are twisted so sexy that I can't help but want to pull your tail." Gordon said with a smile.
"Here, be serious!" Elaine said angrily. She almost wanted to kick Gordon in the face.
"Seriously, turn right ahead." Gordon said, "And keep your voice down. You don't want to alert the guards around you. If Clotier escapes, the plan will be ruined."
"Okay, okay..." the white lion boy said angrily, and continued to climb forward. The road ahead suddenly opened up, and you could stand up. However, there was also an exhaust fan spinning crazily, completely blocking the way.
.
"...No, you can't go there?"
"The switch of the exhaust fan is on the other side. Use your invincible [Sandstorm Magic] to find a solution, Mr. Leo." Gordon said with a smile: "Isn't it just like that, go through with a whoosh, quickly
Even the exhaust fan can't hurt you? Is that possible? I'm a loyal fan of yours and I've watched your football matches many times."
Are you talking about that dark American football thing? Elaine was confused.
Leo was indeed an athlete, although he rarely played. Strictly speaking, Leo died on the field. The last game he participated in helped the Sandstorm Sphinx win the Super Cup championship. But that game
At the same time, it also put him into a critical state, and eventually burned out his life.
Elaine simply loves and hates this sport. He knows that this sport took away Leo's life, but at the same time, he also knows how much Leo loves this sport. If there is no real love for this sport,
It is impossible to win even if you risk your life.
...Gordon actually knew.
No, it's normal even if you know. After all, Leo is a celebrity in the football circle. Even if he is not from that circle, there are still people who have heard that Cairo's gambling king is also from the football circle, and then go to watch the game.
Then it was natural to know what kind of football player Leoport was.
That was the other side of Leo Potter that Elaine didn't know. Even guys like Gordon, who met by chance, knew the other side of Leo, but Elaine knew nothing about it. Elaine thought she had
How understanding Leo is, it’s just ridiculous.
"Sand, can a sandstorm work..." He hummed in a self-deprecating tone.
Although Elaine has not watched the video of the football game, the "Sandstorm Magic" that Gordon mentioned should refer to the ability of [Vibration]. If so, indeed, it is entirely possible for Elaine to use [Vibration] to travel through
Go through it and turn off the exhaust fan silently from the other side. However, this is quite risky. Gordon wants Elaine to take such a big risk to do such a thing, it better be worth it.
"I, I will try," Elaine said, "But, are you sure this is the only option? If I fail, I will die miserably..."
"I know this is risky. We can take a long way around, but you don't want to do that." Gordon said: "If you want to coordinate with the time of the other two teams, while the power room is offline and the monitoring center is suppressed,
After locating Clotier, we shouldn't take a detour. The old fox is very cunning. I'm afraid he has already arranged an escape route and will immediately escape from the base as soon as there is any movement. He has his own dedicated one and can only use his
Pupil-certified escape channel. And that escape channel leads directly to the submarine. If he enters the escape channel, it will be difficult to catch him; if he escapes into the submarine, it will be even more difficult to catch him."
It is reasonable and convincing. Although it is convincing, it also makes people angry. From the beginning, Gordon planned to let Elaine risk his life to help them carry out the mission smoothly, and use Elaine as a tool.
"Okay, okay." With no other choice, Elaine could only stand up and approach the exhaust fan. The exhaust fan rotated very fast, and Elaine could feel the blowing air blowing on her face just three yards away.
The strong wind almost blew him backwards. He had to activate [Virtualization], rush to the other side of the exhaust fan, and then press the glowing switch to turn off the exhaust fan. [Virtualization]
] If the effect is interrupted midway, he will be sucked into the exhaust fan and crushed to pieces. This series of operations can be described as very dangerous.
There is no point in being afraid, so I can only do it bravely. The white lion boy holds the Luna Steel Sword in his hand, takes a deep breath, instantly activates [Void] and rushes forward at the same time. This is the so-called [Sandstorm Divine Walk]
], in fact, he just maintained the [blurred] state and sprinted at full speed. Like a ghost, his translucent body easily passed the exhaust fan and reached the other end of the obstacle. However, this was not over yet, taking advantage of the blur effect
Before disappearing completely, Elaine located the location of the exhaust fan switch and reached over.
The [Vibration] effect disappeared, and Elaine felt a strong wind suck him in, so he used the Luna Steel stabbing sword to stab the wall. While steadying himself, he reached out to flip the switch, trying to turn the platoon on.
Turn off the fan!
...But, it’s no use?
The exhaust fan is still turning. This damn switch doesn't control the exhaust fan at all. I don't know what its purpose is. I guess it's a trap?
No, the switch is useful. It also opens the ventilation duct next to it. Not only did Elaine not turn off the exhaust fan, but instead allowed more outside air to flow into the ventilation duct, creating a more intense airflow.
"Woo!" Elaine could only hold on to the hilt of the rapier to steady his body. But the increasingly fierce airflow gradually exhausted Elaine's strength, and he was dragged towards the exhaust fan bit by bit!
Oops! If you are sucked in like this, you will be chewed into pulp in an instant! This is a death trap!
Pounds! At the moment when Elaine was exhausted and almost swept away by the airflow, the exhaust fan stopped. To be more precise, it was Gordon who broke it and the exhaust fan stopped rotating!
The guy on the other side fired several shots at the exhaust fan with a light gun. The light bullets accurately hit the center point of the exhaust fan, destroying it easily. The exhaust fan that became fragments was destroyed along with the airflow.
It rolled to the other end of the passage and disappeared without a trace.
"Are you okay?" Gordon asked.
"Ha...ha, ha..." Elaine gasped, he almost died just now.
"You, why didn't you shoot earlier?" He said angrily: "Not at all, there is no switch to turn off the fan, you want to kill me?!"
"Sorry, I did lie to you. This fan has no switch from the beginning." Gordon replied: "But I can't just knock it off. Without the cover of the wind, the gunfire will be heard. The operation of the fan
It's controlled by the central control center. If the fan suddenly stops running, someone at the central control center will see the problem."
"Not now, is it okay?"
"The exhaust port is not completely controlled by the central control center. If you opened it just now, the monitor will think that the exhaust port was opened by mistake due to a malfunction, and then the excessive air flow caused the exhaust fan to break. It seems like this
It will be more... natural and less likely to be noticed."
Elaine frowned. There was nothing wrong with what Sir Gordon said. Everything was well-founded and correct. But Elaine was still very angry. Gordon asked him to risk his life without telling him the truth, as if he was deliberately trying to trick him.
It's like going to die.
"Well, it's best not to have this kind of thing happen a second time." The white lion boy said. All kinds of patience seemed to be reaching their limit. If Gordon hadn't still been holding the vaccine, and that vaccine was for Elaine and Quigg
The only way to survive, he had fallen out with Gordon a long time ago.
"Understood," Gordon came over and put his arm around Elaine's waist: "I'm not willing to let you take risks anymore, my dear prince."
"Go away, go away!" Elaine pushed the other person away in disgust.
"It's just a joke. Let's keep walking." Gordon laughed and said: "The exhaust pipe was suddenly opened and the exhaust fan was broken. Someone will come to check. We'd better leave before we are discovered.
."
Elaine let out a low cry, but the task still had to be carried out, and he had to walk (crawl) to clear the way in front. The ventilation duct became narrow again, and Elaine had to act quickly, so he could only crawl forward and crawl quickly.
"Hurry up, they are coming." Gordon said. Without Gordon's words, Elaine also heard footsteps outside, although it was very slight. The walls are made of steel, which is quite thick and has good sound insulation. So
Even if people outside are running fast, Elaine can only hear the slightest footsteps. Similarly, people outside should not be able to hear the sounds in the ventilation ducts through the wall, right? I hope so. Elaine keeps crawling at a speed, but
You must also be careful not to make too much noise. Then the footsteps crossed him, and they must have run to check the open ventilation duct thirty yards behind Elaine and the others.
Fortunately, Elaine and the others escaped quickly——
Thinking like this, Elaine suddenly felt a throbbing pain at the base of his tail. Gordon pulled his tail again, and it was quite hard.
"Huh?!" Elaine almost made an ambiguous sound because of the pain, but Gordon quickly crawled over and covered Elaine's mouth to prevent him from making any sound.
"Hush...!" Knight Gordon whispered in the ear of the White Lion boy: "Front!"
Someone opened the vent in front and shined a searchlight into this place. It was obvious that the guards here thought that just checking the vent just now was not enough, and they had to check all the nearby vents. Then the light was already shining towards Yi.
Projecting from Ryan's side, Elaine is about to be found hiding in the ventilation duct. Elaine, whose hair is pure white, must be conspicuous in this dark ventilation duct!
Gordon took out some kind of cloak and covered himself and Elaine. The cloak was obviously transparent, but when it covered the two of them, it seemed to activate some kind of optical camouflage, making them blend into the surrounding scenery.
It was not easy to be discovered. As a result, although the guard used a searchlight to shine on Elaine, he did not find anything unusual. In his eyes, the ventilation duct was empty.
Then the guard shone the searchlight to the other side a few more times, but after still finding nothing unusual, he withdrew again.
Elaine breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he breathed a sigh of relief, Gordon still held Elaine's tail and touched his hand in strange places.
"You, what are you doing?"
"It smells so good." The knight bit Elaine's ear and hummed: "The smell of vanilla from your body is so good. You are like a big walking ice cream, do you know? What kind of shampoo did you use? It's so sweet.
The taste makes people want to take a bite."
"Quick, stop it!" Elaine became more and more dissatisfied: "I, I just promised to help you carry out the task, but I didn't promise to be sexually harassed by you!"
"Hehe, it's just a joke."
"Come on, it's not okay to joke!" the white lion boy said angrily: "And you don't seem to be joking! Why, why don't you move away when you are pressing on me?"
"Well, there's a big problem." Sir Gordon hummed: "I can squeeze in but can't go back. I seem to be stuck. Sorry."
