perfect savior

Chapter 69 The Guy in the Cage
Andrew put his eyes close to the high-precision camera. In a very short period of time that humans cannot realize, the processor of the access control system read the features such as filaments, pits, and wrinkles on his iris. After comparing with the database, the special alloy The security door opened.

"How is it? Andrew." The middle-aged man sitting in the office made a "please" gesture to him:

"Immaculate security measures, I can assure you, not even a fly can fly in."

"Are you proud?" Andrew shook his head, took out a cigarette in the office of his immediate boss, and lit it with a snap:

"Security network appointment, ID card recognition, fingerprint detection, facial recognition, iris screening, genetic material inspection once a week... are all old-fashioned things." Andrew spit out a fist-sized smoke ring:

"If it were me, I could clear all the levels in three days and cut your throat silently... when you are triumphant."

The middle-aged man sitting in the boss chair did not speak, but stared at Andrew silently.

Andrew held a cigarette, and continued:

"I used to be the best soldier on the planet, and even now, I can take out an entire army of Jarheads in the jungle, and I can still break into the chain of command here and paralyze the FSIA Seattle branch... But, I can't think of anything that would make a military convoy A way to lose contact, hypnotize all soldiers, and take people away... So, Michael, is it [them]?"

“Andrew, you already have the answer.”

"So, we met [Temple]."

"Supernatural powers that cannot be explained by science, obvious behaviors with profound logic, and few people involved besides the parties involved... There is no doubt that the one who took Patty away was the temple, and because of this, no one would be punished."

"And what about Patty Brown?"

"There's nothing we can do about it, Andrew, times have changed."

The two men in the office suddenly fell silent.

Like Michael said, times have changed.

The essence of the "trial" of the temple is to give the testers temporary superpowers, assign tasks to them, and put them in a dangerous environment to test their talent and character.

At this juncture when a large number of moths are invading the earth, the task of exterminating evil creatures has become the mainstream.

Trialists wear rings, manipulate fire, hurricanes, animals and more mystical forces, and fight bizarre parasites.

Since it is fighting in modern society, there will always be a day when people will notice it.

Satellites orbiting the earth, ubiquitous camera equipment, lucky people eating melons... It is almost impossible to complete the assessment of all the testers without anyone noticing.

What's more, the [instructors] have an ambiguous attitude towards human governments, neither hiding it too much, nor eager to seek cooperation.

When the testers looked at their instructors with cute eyes and asked questions like "Can this matter be said?", the alchemy doll would always answer ambiguously, "You can figure it out, you know Most can be said."

As a result, the 【Holy Temple】 slowly revealed a corner from the boundless thick fog.

As a government organization in North America that specializes in extraordinary matters, FSIA naturally knows about the [Temple] information.

- The only paranormal organization known on Earth.

——Pass the assessment called "Trial" and select excellent seeds from all over the world.

——All members wear rings.

The most important pieces of information that FSIA knows are these three pieces.

According to preliminary testing, the most powerful countries on earth have similar understandings of the temple.

There is one thing to say, these three pieces of information are just like the outline of an online author, very important, but useless.

Organizational structure, program, level of power, who is the current leader... These are the things that FSIA cares most about.

Of course, no matter how much power the FSIA puts into it, they haven't made any progress in their understanding of the Temple.

——The tester himself doesn't know, let alone the alchemy puppet.

As a result, both Andrew and Michael in the office felt a deep sense of powerlessness. Even though they knew that it was most likely the temple that took Patty Brown away, they couldn't take any effective measures.

Andrew slammed the cigarette butt out, frowned and said:
"Since it is confirmed that they did it, why did you ask me?"

"Andrew, you are a well-deserved king of soldiers, but you lack the overall situation." Michael smiled:
"Now, we don't need to worry about Patty Brown, but she is an important rope. Following her, we may be able to establish an opportunity to communicate with the temple."

"You want me to go?" Andrew shook his head:

"I'm good at commanding special operations and small-scale battles, but looking for mysterious organizations...Sorry, Michael, I'm a layman, not Holmes."

"I knew you would say that! So, I have equipped you with a small team."

Andrew shrugged:

"Since you have already arranged it, I accept it."

"Hey, wait, wait, don't worry." Michael rubbed his hands, pointing to the coffee on the table:
"Don't keep smoking, try it, I asked a friend to get a rare product."

"...Michael, have you finished yet?"

"Haha... you bastard..." Michael laughed dryly, very rarely embarrassed:
"In your team, there is a very special guy. I am worried that you will have conflicts with him."

"Don't question my literacy. In order to complete the task, I can endure... huh? The guy you are talking about is Elroy, right?"

"..."

"Don't look at me like that, Michael."

"Don't blame me, buddy, you're the perfect candidates..."

The blue veins on Andrew's neck visibly twitched. He took a deep breath and stood up abruptly:
"In other words, I'm going to the prison on the seventh floor to fish him out now?"

"That's right, here you are, here's the secret key... eh? What are you doing with the gun?"

"Destroy him first, and then flee!"

"Calm down, calm down, Andrew, if you really resist, you can change the mission, it's okay, the big deal is that you can't establish contact with the temple, FSIA preparations fall short, I was beaten to the end, and then I became a homeless man and froze to death next to the trash can. ...It doesn't matter, for the sake of friends, it's a fart to freeze to death?"

"Ha, it's ridiculous, Michael, do you really think you're going to eat me..."

……

"Ha, ridiculous Michael, you're really going to kill me..."

Ten minutes later, Andrew stood in front of the prison's steel fence, muttering, and entered the secret key.

The cell was opened, and the environment inside was revealed to Andrew.

This is a cubic metal cage with a side length of only [-] meters. The surroundings are smooth, and there are no gaps except for millimeter-scale ventilation holes.

A tall young man over 1.9 meters tall curled up in this small space.

His head was turned away from Andrew, but the moment the cage opened, the young man's voice came out:

"Long time no see, Andrew, your footsteps are still so kind... It seems that the knife I stabbed in your thigh is already healed, really, I knew I would have stabbed you with a triangular army, haha..."

Andrew's face twitched fiercely, and it took a long time before he replied in a muffled voice:
"Long time no see, Mad Dog... Elroy."
