Sir Chen, your wife is missing!

"Yes, sir!"

The group arrived at the Upper City of Longmen, outside the Immigration Office on the second floor of the Guard Bureau. It was already 11:20 at night, the time when the people of Longmen fell asleep.

There was no one on the streets the whole day today. Citizens were hiding in their homes, closing their doors and windows and not daring to go out, for fear that the people of the integration movement would vent their anger on them.

Before going upstairs, the members of the Guard Bureau involved in the investigation temporarily stopped the team and expressed their concerns.

"Reporting to Sir Chen, I feel that there is something strange in the Guard Bureau building."

"What do you mean?"

"Let me first state the conclusion. In the area close to the top floor, we may encounter some resistance from the active forces of the Integration Movement, and there are also certain enemy forces on the rooftop. However, the lower floors of the building are "completely empty, and some wanderers of the Integration Movement have begun to appear on the sixth floor. The closer to the upper floors, the more wanderers there are, but they are not threatening at all."

"Well, keep talking."

"My team member just reported to me that he seemed to see a member of the Reunion Movement walking through the corridor, but he disappeared in the blink of an eye. Another team member said that they heard whispering, but when they investigated the direction of the sound, they found nothing. This is the result of the reconnaissance. But I still feel something is wrong."

The member's description made the current Guard Bureau building have a strong sense of weirdness. Coupled with the dim environment and the dead silence all around, this weirdness was magnified to the extreme.

For a moment, everyone felt like they were on the set of a horror movie.

"Let's go first. There's no time for some fierce police murder case. Even if there is something supernatural, wait until the matter is over before cleaning it up."

Chen knew that those things were probably the "herd" that Feng Qingyu mentioned. Those people were not ghosts, but living people transformed. There was nothing to be afraid of.

The road I usually take is occupied by some integration movements, which seem to be Mephisto's herd. It is easy to alarm them if I suddenly enter from those places.

But the Guards Bureau has more than just this path.

Chen ran straight to the blind spot on the side of the building, where there was a passage that was not easily found, with a "Safe Passage" sign on top of the door.

"Take the fire escape here. We raise soldiers for a thousand days but deploy them only for a moment. Although we rarely clean it normally, we depend on it now."

Chen walked in front, assigning tasks as he walked.

"I will go to the rooftop with Rhodes Island's Kuroba. You guys go and capture the top floor first and use your visual advantage to support me. We will reunite after the situation stabilizes."

The other members tried to convince Chen to act together, but Chen refused.

She believed that she and Feng Qingyu were capable enough to deal with the guy on the rooftop, and this time it was finally time for Chi Xiao to be unsheathed.

Once Chi Xiao is unsheathed, any obstacles will be cut off.

When there was only one row of stairs left to reach the rooftop, Chen suddenly stopped and grabbed Feng Qingyu behind him.

"Protect yourself later, and I will protect you."

"Really? I'm a 172cm tall guy, but I need you to protect me. Isn't that embarrassing?"

"I am your boss, and a boss has the responsibility to protect his subordinates."

"Shh-"

Feng Qingyu bit Chen's lips quickly.

"Okay, Mr. Chen, do it ten times after we finish work, and you must win."

"Not enough, I want twenty times."

"Hey, so greedy."

……

A cold laugh came from the rooftop, accompanied by a strange and chilly wind.

The two walked onto the rooftop hand in hand, and their view suddenly became wider. Under the moonlight, the white-haired Liberian boy stood in the middle of the rooftop, surrounded by many gray-skinned herdsmen.

Those people stood in strange postures, shaking their bodies like epileptic patients, with orange-red light in their eyes and hills of Originium crystals growing on their backs.

Mephistopheles stepped out from the shadows with an elegant posture.

"Welcome, sir. You dare to rush into the trap I set by yourself. Are you reckless or brave?"

Chen moved his hand to the scabbard of the saber.

"You have nowhere else to go, Reunion Commander."

Ninety-three Li and External Cooperation

"This is not the place for the Reunion Movement. I will take back the Imperial Guard Bureau. And you will pay the price for your evil deeds."

Chen drew out another gray sword from his waist and pointed the tip of the sword at Mephisto's heart.

Although the person opposite is a young boy and not very old, he is a cadre of the Reunification Movement who has committed numerous evil deeds.

It is a basic quality to remain unshaken in the face of the enemy, and no matter the age of the enemy, they should be treated equally when they make mistakes.

A large-scale fierce battle is inevitable. Mephisto has no way to retreat, and Chen has no intention of retreating.

"Really? From my point of view, sir, you have no way to escape. My compatriots will overwhelm you. Come on, sir, please enjoy the dinner I specially prepared for you. You will definitely like it."

Mephisto raised the black staff in his hand and activated the Originium skill. The upper end of the staff looked like a miniature long sword with the blade facing upwards. The tip emitted a silver-white light, and several white beams of light were rotating and rising around the "blade".

His spell released a large amount of silver dust, which fell from the sky and landed in various corners. Some of it landed on the herd around Mephisto.

The herd soldiers all let out strange and sharp roars, and the Originium crystals distributed outside their bodies grew wildly, like a layer of natural armor.

The Originium pierced the original body structure of these people, and the generated Originium was able to protect their bodies and relieve pain.

This Originium technique was very cruel. Chen and Feng Qingyu were watching from the side and felt terrified.

Mephisto is indeed the most twisted cadre in the Reunion Movement. No one can compare to him except Old Black Snake.

"It's coming, be careful not to get touched by these things."

"learn."

Feng Qingyu and Chen stood back to back, with their backs facing each other.

The herd rushed towards the two of them, with great momentum and momentum. They had fought against all kinds of vicious criminals and fierce infected people before, so they were not afraid to this extent.

The knife hit Mu Qun's body, making a "duang" sound, and Feng Qingyu thought he had hit metal.

If the knife wasn't strong enough, it would have broken in two by now.

"It was hard, it cut but not completely."

Feng Qingyu clearly saw the knife hitting the shoulder of one of the herdsmen. The herdsman's shoulder was bleeding and had a wound, but he acted as if it didn't hurt at all and continued to attack tirelessly.

They have no self-awareness and have completely become Mephisto's puppets, obeying his twisted will to fight and trampling on their bodies at will.

"Don't waste your time, you little minions from Rhodes Island. You can't defeat my compatriots with your abilities. It was just a coincidence that Broken Bones lost to you. The Frost Star will arrive soon, and you will be turned into ice slag by then."

Mephisto respectfully addressed Chen as "Sir" and had a rather bad attitude towards the people from Rhodes Island, calling Feng Qingyu "a minion of Rhodes Island".

"I remember that you were the one who was nearly stabbed to death by Sister Tallulah in Che Castle. You were lucky that you didn't get stabbed to death by her. I won't let you be so lucky this time."

Several herdsmen waved their arms with sharp nails, trying to tear Feng Qingyu to pieces. She bent down slightly with the help of her weak waist, barely dodging several waves of attacks, and occasionally blocked them with the blade of her knife.

These herds are not invincible. Their defense is indeed at its peak when Mephisto's Originium skills are activated. As time goes by, the physical strength of the herds is also declining.

The changes are subtle, and it is not easy to hide them from experienced people.

"It's just a little trick."

Chen found a place where the herd had no source stones growing as a breakthrough point, and plunged the saber into his body. The front half of the saber was stained with dark purple blood, and the blood was filled with a foul smell of corruption.

In a blink of an eye, Chen had already cut down a whole herd of cattle.

The herd was attacked, and it seemed to cause backlash damage to Mephisto, its controller. He covered his chest and began to cough.

"Vulnerable."

Chen shook the blood off the blade and gave Mephisto's herd a very low opinion.

These things look very powerful and weird, but when you fight them carefully, they look good but are useless and they are knocked down in just a few hits.

Most of the members of the Integration Movement had not received professional combat training, and they were not very good at fighting. This did not cause much pressure to Chen, and after defeating a large herd of cattle, Chen did not even take a breath.

"So many compatriots, and you defeated them all? I really need to re-evaluate your strength, sir."

Mephisto gave Chen an approving smile.

"That's enough, stop with your boring tricks."

Chen didn't have the patience to play games with a psychologically twisted young boy who was still wet behind the ears. She thought that as long as she could take back the rooftop and get rid of Mephisto, the Integration Movement would lose its commander in the Guards stronghold and would be quickly defeated.

A team without a leader is meaningless, and the Guards can deal with it however they want.

Faced with the defeat of a large number of herds, Mephisto did not have no tricks. He whispered a few words into the communicator.

"No, it's not enough. Faust, give them a surprise."

"clear."

At Mephisto's command, the sniper hiding in the dark fired at the top floor.

Chen felt unusual winds and sounds coming from all directions, and he dodged while issuing commands.

"People on the top floor, get down!"

When the members of the Guards heard Chen's hoarse shout, they realized that there were many snipers hiding nearby, and they dodged in a hurry. Some members who were unable to dodge were shot by crossbow arrows.

Right in front of Chen appeared a young Phaedia with short blue hair, about the same age as Mephistopheles, holding a crossbow, with scales on his body and green eyes emitting dangerous light in the darkness.

He looked familiar.

The young Phidiya shot a powerful purple arrow at Feng Qingyu, whose defense was relatively weak - a skill that could blow up a platform with one shot in the high-level contract of Operation Blade.

The purple arrow's firepower was very strong, and Feng Qingyu could only barely block a portion of the impact. The rest affected his body, and the wounds that had just begun to heal opened again.

She could feel the blood flowing.

Chen's focus was all on the young man Feidia. She remembered, she remembered everything.

"Wait. Are you the infected person captured by the Guards before?"

"..."

The infected person is named Faust, another cadre of the Reunion Movement. He is good at using crossbows and leads a pair of phantom crossbowmen.

Faust's support made Mephistopheles think that the situation of the battle had changed, and he smiled even more happily.

"You, the Imperial Guard, must have made him suffer a lot. Although it is nothing compared to what Ursus has branded us with. Just now, he deliberately did not aim at you, Chief of the Imperial Guard. This is my courtesy to repay you and spare you this time. Now, even the Imperial Guard has the seeds of unrest buried. It is your corruption and carelessness that gave him the opportunity to cooperate with us from inside and outside."

Mephistopheles and Faust looked at each other, and saw a tacit understanding and a hint of subtle affection in each other's eyes.

Ninety-four

At this point, Feng Qingyu remembered a portrait he saw before the main storyline, which showed an infected person who looked like Faust.

No, that's Faust.

When I read the plot for the first time, yj didn't explain it clearly and left a hole for the readers to guess the identity of the infected person captured by the Guards through the subsequent text. She just thought he was an infected person who looked like Faust.

Judging from Mephistopheles's words just now, Faust was captured on purpose, and collaborated with the traitors in the Guard Bureau, so the Integration Movement quickly occupied the entire Guard Bureau building.

It's a very simple plot, but it spans a long distance. Just like doing reading comprehension, you need to connect the clues hidden in the plot and infer the final answer.

Facing the smug Mephisto, Chen didn't look like the one whose home was robbed at all, and kept a poker face very well.

"Integration, you know nothing about the land you are on."

Never give your cards to others until the last moment. Even if you get the worst cards, you have to act as if you got good cards.

As expected, he is Sir Chen, Feng Qingyu thought.

"Sir, is there any deep meaning in this sentence?"

Mephisto raised an eyebrow, interested in Chen's reaction.

Would a normal person react so calmly upon hearing that their workplace had been attacked? This is not normal.

"Do you think Faust was rescued by your Integration Movement?"

"There are many infected people in the Guard Bureau."

"Twenty-one."

"Do you think that at least four of them will definitely be thorough integration movements? But even these four were planted by me. After they came to meet you, did you imprison one of them?"

"..."

Mephisto's expression changed, from confidence to hesitation, and a little unhappy after being deceived.
