NIKKE, when the stars bloom

Chapter 136 The Hunt Begins

Mastin did not deliberately inform Noyal about the Phoenix matter.

After all, in Boss Tetra's opinion, he only needs to notify one of the black and white rabbits under him, and the other will get the news quickly.

And the result was pretty much what Mastin had expected.

If there was any omission, it was probably that he didn't expect that the boy who was supposed to be on the third floor, led by Blanche, would go down to the first floor with his wooden instrument and meet Noyal...

And they meet in an extremely thrilling debut scene.

……

staircase,

Hearing Phoenix's friendly question, the dark-skinned girl shyly and fearfully lifted up the vase in her arms, completely hiding her face behind the vase, performing a vivid idiom performance called "a blind eye" for the other party.

"No... no no thanks Mr. Phoenix!"

Noal said tremblingly, but on second thought, he felt that his appearance and behavior were not like what a Gold Battle Hall Manager should be like.

So, after struggling for a long time, the girl finally mustered up her courage, pointed to the entrance of the first floor hall, and said:

"That... that... the ACPU closest to the Gold Coin Battle... just turn right when you get out of the door... and just go straight..."

After finally finishing her words, Sister Noel, with her heart pounding, stood there, holding the vase and waiting for a long time, but there was no reply from Phoenix.

Where is sir?

The puzzled black rabbit twitched its ears, plucked up its courage, quietly poked one eye out from behind the vase, and glanced timidly up the stairs.

There, apart from Haig, who was lying on the carpet and didn't know whether he was alive or dead, where else could there be any perverted murderer?

"Eh……?"

Noel slowly pondered where the guest had gone, and took the vase he had held above his head back into his arms.

suddenly!

A flash of lightning flashed behind her head, exploding with thunder.

she……

She, she, she! Did she accidentally let the murderer go?!

……

……

[All exits of this casino are surrounded. People who want to kill you and those who want to save you are all mixed together. Judging from their body language, there should be a small number of unaware neutrals.]

In his mind, Anik's expression returned to the same state as when he first met someone, and he said:

[If you don't want to kill your friends by mistake, I estimate that it will take 4 minutes, 37 seconds and 66 seconds to identify and mark the enemy and friend. ]

[Don't worry, it only takes a song. ]

Relying on the wool blanket to help reduce noise, Phoenix silently walked down the stairs to the second floor of the casino and walked towards the secret storage room of the Gold Coin Battle.

The designer probably never thought that there are people in this world who can cheat in perspective in reality, so the secret storage room used to store munitions is also equipped with an expensive micro-ventilation system.

Perhaps Mastin's aesthetic taste does not allow the smell of maintenance oil to be emitted when his armory is opened.

So the next question is how to open the gate...

【Two pieces of bad news.】

Unexpectedly, before someone could finish his dream about arms, Anik's voice coldly interrupted his thoughts.

She said:

[1. There are combat personnel preparing to infiltrate the main gate, back door, building rooftop, and north and south walls. All troops have begun the final weapons inspection.]

[2. The confidentiality level of this gate is very high. Judging from the hardware perspective, with my computing power, it would take eight to twelve minutes to brute force it.

The software perspective is unknown. It is possible that the other party directly handed over the firewall to the counterfeit. If it is it...】

Anik, who has weak computing power, was very humane and did not continue with the nonsense that should have been said.

Phoenix also sensed the tense political situation in the Ark from the first piece of bad news.

He hadn't finished dealing with Shuen yet, so Ma Shiding sent someone to greet him and show his goodwill. The commanders were often bullied by the military, so it was impossible for the command center to help the military...

Thinking this way, one of the three major companies in Ark is on his side, and the other is at least neutral. The Ark government's headquarters can only adopt the policy of "spending a lot of money to buy horse bones" to protect itself. The Inquisition also believes that it still has strategic value, and there is also an intelligence department that is dispensable...

Such a luxurious political lineup was actually forced by political opponents to use force together to arrest him.

tsk...

Phoenix scratched the back of his head in annoyance.

The lieutenant felt that this was a difficult matter, thinking that among this group of combatants there were government officials who really intended to bring him to justice, as well as friendly forces who wanted to protect him, and that there were also enemies mixed in who might open fire at any time.

Kill them all? No...

It would be better to just raise the flag of rebellion than to do this.

It is necessary to use point-to-point sniping and kill all the military personnel. Only when you are completely opposed to the military will the superiors dare to increase the risk.

Lieutenant Phoenix had an idea in his heart. After thinking for a few seconds, he suddenly waved his hand and commanded the hundreds of ghost sisters surrounding him.

"Falin, Martha, take your people underground and see if you can help me burn down the power supply system of this casino. Remember to burn down the backup power supply as well."

After saying that, the man skillfully took off his shoes again.

……

……

【Three, two, one】

Clang——!!!

On the south outer wall of the casino, above the third-floor window, under Privati's sign language command, all members of the Delta Force Anti-Terrorism Team A who had descended from the rooftop to the south wall by rope, kicked the wall and successfully broke into the room through the window using a pendulum-like motion.

Even though they had conducted simple detection using drones in advance, the members of Anti-Terrorism Team A still used their extremely high combat qualities to instantly confirm every corner nearby to ensure that no one was hiding there.

【Clear】

【Clear】

One after another, gestures representing safety were gradually transmitted to Privati. After careful integration by the intelligence department staff, the corresponding text information was uploaded to the huge projection table in the central conference room.

【implement……】

After confirming that there was no danger, the girl with twin ponytails holding a gun in one hand was signing. However, before she could carry out the [Plan], the corners on both sides of the corridor suddenly went dark and all the lights went out at the same time.

Swah——

This sudden change immediately caused the anti-terrorist fighters to point their guns at the corridors on both sides.

In Privati's team channel, several team captains who had already penetrated into the casino sent in reports.

"Counter-Terrorism Team C, the power is out in the main hall on the first floor, no light."

"Police Team B, the north side room on the first floor is out of power and has no light."

"Special Forces Team B, the south side room on the first floor is broken... Zila... Zila..."

……

"Zi la..."

……

"Zi la la..."

"what happened?!"

In the central conference room, a major general raised his eyebrows, took a sip of the still steaming coffee, and said sarcastically:

"The Ark Construction Bureau has been asking for money for all these years, how come they can't even get a wireless network in the city center?"

"That being said, the internet will definitely be fine."

The director of the Construction Bureau, who was disgusted for no reason, rolled his eyes in disdain and replied slowly:

"The military hasn't fought a war in years. When they encounter signal loss, they first think about network problems instead of considering whether the other side has interference equipment."

"Jamming equipment? Ha."

After hearing this, the young major general first shrugged his shoulders, then spread his hands and laughed out loud.

"Do you mean that Tetra installed military-grade jamming equipment in the casino? Or did someone illegally provide the commander with military-grade jamming weapons?"

This accusation was done with great skill and skill, so much so that the director of the Construction Bureau could not find a reasonable way to fight back.

However, as the saying goes, "Man proposes, God disposes."

Just when the major general thought he had won the game, he never expected that the network of Special Team B suddenly reconnected at the critical moment.

Not only that, when the network was reconnected, the life detector turned from green to red and began to warn the upper class people present.

——Four members of Special Forces Team B were confirmed dead.

Major General of the Military Department: “…”

Director of the Construction Bureau: “…”

After a few blinks of silence, all the text data from the intelligence department were uploaded.

[PM, 4:55:21.44——The entire Special Forces B team’s network is disconnected.]

[PM, 4:55:35.52——Special Forces B team reconnects to the network.]

【Total network interruption time 14.08S.】

[The following is the time of death confirmed by the life detector, arranged in order of death time]

[No. 1: 4:55:22.38]

[No. 3: 4:55:23.57]

[No. 4: 4:55:24.49]

[No. 2: 4:55:25.12]

"Less than four seconds?"

The director of the intelligence department, the only person sitting in the conference room who had a clear view of this information, almost stood up from his chair in excitement.

"Killing four people in just over three seconds?"

Chapter 137 Hunting

The word "弄" uttered by the head of the Intelligence Department succinctly shows the contradiction between the Ark Military and the Intelligence Department.

Unfortunately, Phoenix, who was far away in the Gold Coin Battle Casino and was in darkness, was not aware of this.

Now he was holding one hand on the ceiling at the corner of the corridor, like a large gecko, with his head lowered, staring dimly at the twelve ACPU police officers who were conducting a carpet search below.

……

……

"Everyone, please pay attention. The target has been confirmed to be active on the first floor. Searchers on the second floor will immediately block the passageway. Searchers on the third floor will rappel from the windows and provide support immediately... Zila... Zilala..."

Hearing the sudden loud noise coming from the headphones, Patton, like his colleagues, quickly took off the headphones in his ears, then raised his gun and observed the surroundings nervously.

He was not the captain of this ACPU squadron, so he naturally didn't know that Special Team B had been completely wiped out.

However, the malfunctioning images from the night vision goggles, the unknown reality of having to face the darkness alone from time to time, and the captain's quietly whispered orders to stay on the spot, every detail was mercilessly tugging at Patton's mental state.

He could feel it, he really could feel it! Just now, a cold wind that shouldn't have existed brushed his cheek.

Immediately, the black and white image of the night vision goggles began to flicker, flickering like a light bulb with a faulty contact, making people irritated and uneasy.

it seems that……

Something is coming.

The strong instinctive uneasiness forced Patton to tightly grip the barrel guard of the rifle, and the breathing driven by his heart was like the engine of a car after it was started, roaring in his ears.

Boom-!
