Mystery: Good Witch

52 Sudden Attack
After being swept by its gaze, Angel actually felt a little fear, which was an instinctive fear of mysterious objects she didn't understand, but she quickly suppressed her emotions and continued to swing her arms. This is the best way to deal with 2-049.

Out of the corner of her eye, Luo Luota's arm suddenly stopped in the air. She quickly reached out to help, but the next moment, her thoughts were quickly frozen, and her outstretched hand moved forward frame by frame like a slide in her sight, but at a slow speed, as if she would never reach it.

Now the negative effect is stronger than before...

A thought flashed through her mind.

Klein and Borgia on the opposite side of the carriage were very vigilant, and at the same time reached out their hands to relieve the stagnation of Lolotta and Angel.

"The negative effect of 2-049 has become stronger, find Riel Bieber as soon as possible, and then seal it again."

The rescued Lolotta heaved a sigh of relief and suggested.

Standing at 2-049 in the middle of the carriage, the "Antigonus Puppet" saw that the surrounding humans were well prepared, closed the corners of his grinning mouth again, and resumed the strange expression he had just got out of the iron box, tilted his head slightly, chose a direction, and began to slowly walk towards a corner of the carriage.

"咚咚-"

Borgia knocked on the carriage, stretched out his hand out of the small window, pointed to the direction the puppet was facing, and said, "It moved, going in that direction."

Leonard outside the window nodded, and a few seconds later, the carriage started again, turned into the path from the side of the street, and drove in the direction chosen by the puppet. Borgia called out directions from time to time to help Leonard who was driving the carriage adjust.

It seems that this is the real function of 2-049...

Angel watched the Antigonus puppet constantly adjust its direction while the carriage was driving, and finally pointed to the front of the carriage—this meant that the current direction of travel was completely consistent.

And whenever it slowly walks to the edge of the car or under the seat, Borgia grabs it back and presses it back to the center of the floor. Often at this time, the puppet will grin and make faces, causing two people in the car to fall into negative effects at the same time, and this often includes Borgia who caught it.

It doesn't seem to control the same person continuously, but now it can control two targets. On the premise of priority, it will give priority to controlling the one "it hates the most"?

Angel recorded the targets selected by 2-049 in his mind, trying to find a certain pattern.

When Borgia's shoulder was almost swollen, the carriage finally drove into the dock area and came to a dense warehouse.

After changing several directions for confirmation, everyone locked on a gray-white warehouse hidden in the depths of the building complex, which is inaccessible and not as lively as the warehouse near the Tussock River.

Borgia grabbed 2-049, which ran to the side of the carriage again, and this time, instead of putting it back in the center of the carriage, he picked up the iron box again and stuffed the puppet into the iron box.

He re-locked the mechanical switch, poured spirituality into the holy emblem of the Night Lady on the box, and sealed the sealed item in the box.

During this period, 2-049 also showed a strong spirit of resistance, controlling Borgia five times, and the rest of the people in the carriage were not spared. Klein, who was closest to Borgia, was selected three times, but there were four people in the carriage. Everyone helped each other and completed the re-sealing of 2-049 without any risk.

Borgia breathed a sigh of relief after picking up the box again. He was the key target of 2-049. He was slapped on the shoulder no less than twenty times along the way, and it was already miserable. Now that he finally arrived at the destination, he was naturally the most active one.

"Come on, let's get out of the car."

He couldn't wait to carry the box containing the puppet of Antigonus and "flee" out of the car.

Leonard tied the horse to the lamppost by the side of the road, and several others got out of the carriage.

The strange thing is that 2-049 doesn't seem to exert negative effects on other creatures except humans. The horses pulling the cart sneeze and wait boredly by the lamppost, not affected by the sealed item at all.

A group of six people lined up again, swinging their arms as if possessed by a demon, and walked towards the warehouse where Riel Bieber was hiding.

Now is the busy time in the dock area, but there are no workers working in this warehouse far away from the river bank. Except for the faint noise coming from the wind in the distance, the surrounding area of ​​the warehouse is surprisingly quiet.

Angel looked around vigilantly. Ever since she got out of the car, she felt that someone was watching her, but she looked around and found no trace of the peeping person.

"Something's wrong."

After much hesitation, she still decided to express her feelings. If she made a mistake, it would only affect the efficiency of the operation a little, but if the team was indeed being followed, it meant that there might be a fierce battle ahead.

Dunn looked at her through his arms swinging up and down, and nodded for a while: "It's really too quiet, but we have a 'Seer'."

He turned around and greeted Klein who was at the end of the line: "Klein, do a divination to see if there is any danger in the warehouse ahead. If so, try to figure out the degree of danger."

Lolotta and Leonard got out of the middle of the team and stood beside Borgia, keeping Klein away from the influence of 2-049.

"Seer" Klein shook off the pendant tied on his left wrist, the silver chain drooped, and the topaz was moving irregularly at the end of the chain.

After the shaking gradually disappeared, he closed his eyes and entered into meditation, whispering in his mouth: "There is danger in the warehouse ahead."

After repeating the divination content seven times, the citrine pendant in Klein's hand began to rotate in a regular circle, clockwise!

Moreover, the range of its rotation is getting bigger and bigger, and its strength is also increasing rapidly, and it has the tendency to pull Klein's arm to move together.

"There is danger, and the danger is not small." Klein exited the meditation state, opened his eyes and looked at the pendant in his hand and said. His face was a little pale, and he didn't know whether it was the consumption of divination or the result of divination was beyond his expectations.

The others looked at each other and then at the warehouse ahead.

"Boom, boom." The 2-049 in Borgia's hand tapped the iron box again, as if to remind a few people that the location of Riel Bieber is ahead.

"Leonard," Dunn frowned and thought for a few seconds before making up his mind, "You and Angel should find a way to get to the roof from behind this building. If there is indeed danger in the warehouse, I need your long-range cover."

He pointed to a two-storey house on the right. This is an abandoned residential building. The window glass on the wall facing the street has been broken, and only the wooden window frame is half-covered. On the side, you can faintly see the exposed pipes perpendicular to the ground. It seems that it is not difficult to climb to the roof.

The most important thing is that the other side of the residential building is connected to a row of warehouse buildings. If you climb to the roof from here, you can move along the top floor at any time, bringing the entire open space in front of the warehouse into the range of firearms.If Klein's divination is accurate, it is a very correct choice to arrange for the two of them to go to the roof to support at any time.

Leonard also figured this out. He nodded and looked at Angel. Seeing that there was no objection from the other party, he waved his hand and walked ahead.

Don't they worry that four people carrying 2-049 is dangerous?

Angel saw that Leonard, who hadn't turned his head, had circled the corner of the residential building, and then looked at Klein, who was holding the pendant and preparing for the next divination, and the other three people who surrounded 2-049 and helped him "block the gun". He couldn't help feeling a little worried, but Dunn had already issued an order, so he could only obey it.

Suppressing the uneasiness in her heart, she reached out to make sure that the holster under her armpit and the pistol on the outside of her thigh were still in place, and caught up with Leonard in three steps at a time.

Arriving at the side of the residential building, Leonard had already grasped the water pipe protruding from the wall, and climbed up to the second-floor balcony about three meters above the ground with his hands and feet. He turned over and jumped over the crumbling wooden railing of the balcony, and stood firmly on the inside of the balcony.

It seems that Dunn asked Leonard to climb the stairs for a reason. As an upgrade of the "Sleepless" sequence, "Midnight Poet" can improve physical coordination and melee ability as much as "Assassin".

Seeing that Leonard had stood still, Angel also climbed up the water pipe.

Compared with sneaking into the Labor Mutual Aid Association station in the dock area a few days ago, the balcony only three meters above the ground is a simple model. With the help of the water pipe, she kicked her feet on the wall of the pipe, directly grabbed the protruding floor of the balcony, and climbed up with a backflip.

The balcony should be leading to the bedroom on the second floor of the residence. The floor-to-ceiling windows have also lost their glass, exposing the messy interior. The two of them had no time to appreciate the dilapidated dock area, but continued to climb along the balcony to the roof.

This time, Angel took the lead. She stepped on the crumbling wooden balcony railing with one foot, and lifted the other foot off the ground. Her light body jumped upwards, and she easily grabbed the edge of the roof.

Unlike the sloping roofs used by residential buildings in the urban area, these buildings near the warehouses in the dock area have built their roofs into platforms for drying clothes. It was afternoon, and the sun was shining on the roofs. A little wet water reflected the sunlight, and some moss under the water could be vaguely seen.

The stairs leading to the roof on the second floor were covered by a simple pergola, which became the only shady place on the roof.

Looking back, Angel was about to help Leonard who was about to climb, but he heard continuous and loud gunshots from the direction of the warehouse.

"Bang! Bang!"

She couldn't help looking in the direction of the gunshots, but found that her sight was blocked by the roof, and she could only vaguely hear shouts from that direction. It seemed that the four-person team in the front had been attacked and was fighting in a hurry.

"what happened?"

Leonard, who was about to climb up to the roof, also heard the gunshots. He had already put his foot on the railing, but now he couldn't care less about climbing. Instead, he widened his eyes and asked anxiously.

"It should be that there is a battle ahead, and I can't see the specific situation."

Angel knew it would be useless to stay here any longer, so he quickly made a judgment.

"Go down now and go back the same way to help the captain and the others. I will touch the roof to see if I can support them from above."

Without waiting for Leonard to react, she took out the new revolver under her arm and ran towards the location where the gunshots came from.
