I, with a long knife in my hand, can only do one move

Cheng Rang took out his phone and looked at the time: "It's getting late, and they should be back by now."

"Don't rush to find those guys~ Also spend more time with my old friend, and you didn't tell me the good story!"

Pushing away the chair and getting up, Cheng Rang looked at Ali Kira who had just pulled himself out of the wall, and said with a smile, "Next time."

"The story of what was done, summed up, is probably—"

Accompanied by Cheng Rang who disappeared in place, Alikila's figure slammed into the chessboard hard, and the sound of the chess pieces falling to the ground was extremely noisy.

But Fimto still heard his last words before leaving.

Ignoring Alikila who was sitting on the ground making noise, Fimto raised his legs, with a bland expression, not knowing what he was thinking, while silently repeating in his mouth.

"Have you defeated [the strongest] from another world...?"

"Darling!! Don't run!!"

"It sounds boring~"

The smile on the corner of Femto's mouth disappeared, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and the chessboard of Demon War Chess recovered with the sound of mechanical operation.

Then listen to this story next time.

"But Lord Sword God, what I said is interesting. Even if you are not interested, it doesn't mean it won't happen—"

......

Location: A certain state in the United States - a classified research facility under the direct jurisdiction of the National Security Council.

Under the cloudless starry sky, the light of the searchlight illuminated the base bunker from high to low like daytime.

It extends down along the elevator shaft made of reinforced concrete, which can resist direct missile bombardment.

— until one kilometer underground.

A security guard on duty was on a daily patrol, and the white and smooth corridor was only echoed by the sound of rubber boots rubbing against the ground.

Suddenly, there was a sound that seemed to be a leakage of electricity.

Sigh.....

It is particularly harsh in a quiet corridor.

"Ok?"

The security personnel, who noticed the abnormality, immediately picked up the shotgun behind their backs, and probed towards the corner of the corridor ahead step by step.

Passing the corner, there was not even a single "door" on either side of the long and straight corridor in front of him.

But a small black spot appeared on the white wall.

buzz... buzz...

And the black spot is still expanding, it looks like a....hand?

A hand with a clock gear embedded in the back of the hand slowly "squeezed" out of it as if melting the wall.

what is that? !

"Report, C-43 in Building B, something abnormal happened!"

monitoring room

After receiving the message conveyed by patrolling security personnel, respond immediately.

"Please report the details."

"..."

"Hello? Are you still there?"

But within a few seconds, there was no response from the other side of the radio.

When the support troops rushed to the C-43 corridor, they found that there was nothing in the corridor except a huge hole.

Chapter 7 Surprise or Fright

It was already late at night when everyone in Labra came back from Mozuoguacha Restaurant, talking and laughing.

Several transfer doors at the transfer station lit up, and people walked out of them one by one.

"Sure enough, with Elaine joining, life will be much more convenient!"

"Hey, don't make me only do this kind of thing, okay? Have you forgotten whose weaponry saved your life on the last field mission?"

"Ahahaha, that's right~"

"Thomas, you will be on duty tomorrow, go back and rest early." Klaus instructed the man who had just talked to Elaine.

"Yes, boss, then everyone, let me go first~ See you tomorrow!"

"See you tomorrow!" xN

Everyone said hello to each other and said goodbye at the transfer station of any gate in Labra, walked to different gates, went to various parts of the city through the blue vortex, or went home to rest, or returned to work.

Just as the Campbell sisters were about to leave, they were stopped by Stephen.

"By the way, Miss Isabella, please stay."

"Mr. Staffis, what's the matter?"

Stephen smiled gently: "Just call me by my name from now on, we are already colleagues."

Isabella, who had just joined Labra, hadn't even realized the real sense of this identity transformation, she was slightly taken aback, and nodded quickly: "Okay! Mr. Stephen!"

"Because you are already an official staff member, your information needs to be entered. Although it is very late...but I will come to report early tomorrow morning—"

Stephen glanced at Elaine at the side, and said with a hint of meaning: "If someone didn't get up because someone overslept, it wouldn't be good to shut such a cute girl out of the door and wait foolishly."

"Isn't it okay for you to just say that that person is me, Mr. Stephen." Sure enough, Elaine immediately made a dissatisfied voice.

"Hahaha, I didn't say that."

Eler Bella took her sister's hand and blinked: "So, doesn't Isa have permission to enter here?"

Stephen immediately explained: "That kind of authority is not the same as that of the official staff. According to Isabella's current classification, the authority of senior combatants seems to be a little higher than yours, Captain Campbell~"

"Hey~ I'm a little envious." Elebela rubbed her sister's head in a joking tone, "You've become so powerful before you know it, Isa..."

Now that Leticia has recognized her, I, as an older sister, can rest assured.

"elder sister?"

Looking at the shiny silver curser badge on her younger sister's chest, Elebela smiled gratifiedly, let go of her hand, and said, "Go, I'll go home and wait for you first. "

My younger sister already has the power to protect herself, and even protect others.

"Ok!"

And following someone like Mr. Claus can make you feel at ease.

"I will leave my most important sister to you!" Elebela waved to Klaus and walked towards the opened door.

"Do not worry!"

Following Klaus and Stephen towards the association office from the other side, Gilbert in the room had obviously been waiting for a long time.He smiled and got up from his chair: "Miss Campbell, the information entry will be completed soon, and there are still some important things to keep in mind. During the newcomer training period, you need to choose a senior to follow. I don't know you..."

"Can I choose anyone?" Isabella's eyes lit up.

"Well, it's like this. No matter who you follow, you can learn something that you should pay attention to in this city as a member of Libra."

"Then I'll leave it to you first, Gilbert." Stephen greeted the two of them, and prepared to go back to deal with tomorrow's intelligence materials. From noon to night, they unknowingly slacked off for too long.

I guess I'll have to work overtime until the early hours of the morning...

Stephen, who was smiling wryly in his heart but couldn't tell others, walked away with slightly heavy steps, and didn't pay much attention to the voice behind him.

Through the corridor, Stephen pushed open the main entrance of the association hall, slapped on the wall to turn on the chandelier switch.Bright and soft light suddenly filled the room.

When he came to the empty desk and looked at the piled up event book, Stephen felt a little headache, but he had to deal with it now.

"Sure enough, those guys are still too indulgent...I have to keep them busy tomorrow—huh?"

This stack of event books seems to have been tampered with.

Trespassing?

This idea was immediately ruled out by Stephen, not to mention how strong the current Libra defense system is, if he has the ability to come in, obviously he will not move these useless things first.

If you want secrets, there are plenty of them in the archives.

With some doubts, Stephen opened the document and

Face, then his eyes widened with an expression of disbelief.

All unresolved incident files have been stamped with the [Solved] seal, and...

He took out his mobile phone and checked the mission report in the archives, and all of them were filled out, and the evidence of mission completion was uploaded.

"This... Could it be?"

Stephen, who was holding the phone in a daze for a long time, finally chuckled, put down the file and leaned against the table, and said in a voice that he could only hear: "That guy is back."

.....

"Eh? Senior Cheng! Are you back?! But... when?"

As soon as Leo opened the door, he heard the sound of a TV program in the living room. A familiar figure that he hadn't seen for a long time was lying on the sofa chewing snacks in loose pajamas.

Looking away from the TV show, Cheng Rang raised his hand to say hello to Leo who came home late at night: "Hey, welcome back, Leo."

"Where is it! I want to welcome Senior Cheng back!" Leo seemed to be in a better mood when he saw Cheng Rang again, and the corners of his mouth raised involuntarily.

"Oh, so you know you want to welcome me back—"

But immediately, Cheng Rang's tone seemed to change, with heavy resentment, which made Leo feel cold and shivered.

"Hey...Cheng...Senior Cheng?"

"I came back at noon! As a result, there was no one in the association, and I couldn't get through the phone, and I couldn't find anyone. When I came back from a long distance, I could only stare at the empty house. The pile of reports has been blown up!"

Leo hid behind the back of the sofa and couldn't stop the oncoming resentment, he asked tremblingly, "But...then?"

"Then it can only be considered that the guys in the report were unlucky, and I announced the return of their boss to the city in a very high-profile way."

——Finally ran to the bar and had a drink, feeling extremely empty. After going out, he caught a idle king, Fei Mutuo, and fought him for another [-] rounds.

"It turns out...that's how it is..."

Leo was in a cold sweat listening to Cheng Rang saying outrageous things with a relaxed and freehand attitude, and he didn't even know what expression to reply.

"By the way, where did you go to the party... Well, I don't mention this. It's only been a month. What's the reason for the party? As for not staying with anyone?"

Leo quickly scratched his chin and stood up, "Ah, well... it was supposed to be a surprise for Senior Cheng——"

"Isabella, she has successfully joined Libra."

"..."

"..."

Cheng Rang's expression seemed to be stiff, and after the two of them stared wide-eyed for a long time, he finally squeezed out a sentence:

"Ha - what are you talking about?"

Chapter 8 The morning peak of explosive congestion

"This is a shock, isn't it a surprise? Hey! How could Fantou pass such an application!"

"Senior Cheng! I can't breathe—"

Leo, who was dangling in the air by Cheng Rang's collar, was thrown onto the sofa, panting in the tone of the survivors: "Because it is said that Miss Isabella has passed Miss Leticia's graduation exam. , so there is no need to worry about strength issues..."

"So it's not a civilian job, but a formal staff member!"

"Wow!!"

Leo curled up on the sofa and yelled, but Cheng Rang obviously didn't pay attention to him.

Sitting down, Cheng Rang let out a long sigh.

"Well—so it seems that a lot has happened during my absence."

"Yes, that's right...probably."
