In the silent captain's room, Teresa stood quietly at the table, waiting for a certain communication from the front.
Suddenly, the signal light representing communication access came on.
Teresa immediately pressed the button to connect the communication and said: "I am Teresa. Knight, is it you?"
On the other end of the communication, Lei Mingkai's voice sounded.
"Yes. Colonel. I am a knight. Is the line safe now?"
Theresa frowned slightly, as if she felt that Lei Mingkai was a little too cautious. But she still made a guarantee.
"Knight. This is my personal encrypted channel. The chance of being eavesdropped is very low."
"Understood. Then, let's get started!"
When Lei Mingkai's voice sounded again, he was telling Teresa one by one about some of the information discovered in the previous battle.
After quietly listening to Lei Mingkai's narration, Teresa did not speak immediately, but pondered for a moment, and then slowly spoke after roughly sorting out her thoughts.
"Knight, what do you think is the chance of internal strife in Amalgam?"
"Sixty percent."
Lei Mingkai, who had a clear understanding of the development of internal strife in Amalgam, just gave a safe answer.
"Sixty percent? This is also a high enough probability. This shows that the interior of the amalgam is not monolithic."
Teresa obviously had some confidence, but she did not continue to delve into this aspect for the time being, but changed another topic.
"So, what's going on with mr.au? According to you, knight, this person is not as simple as he appears."
"Yes. I'm afraid this person will be a substitute."
"substitute?!"
Upon hearing this statement, Theresa's voice rose slightly.
But after Theresa thought about it carefully, a similar situation might indeed occur.
Although Theresa and others already know that Mithril's ultimate enemy is amalgam, their understanding of the internal situation of amalgam often comes from Lei Mingkai's intelligence and Mithril's own intelligence department that has collected it for a long time.
It is obtained by comparative analysis between the information.
"A clone?"
Teresa sighed slightly after getting the result.
"It seems that the enemy is far more difficult to deal with than we imagined."
After saying that, Teresa pinched her braid and smiled slightly.
"However, I have an idea now. Knight, can you guess it? Well, in other words, you have planned a similar idea from the beginning."
Lei Mingkai smiled softly and praised Teresa without any concealment.
"She is worthy of being the goddess of wisdom, the son of Danu. Yes. My idea is to use this man who may be a substitute to lure the snake out of the hole. I believe that the appearance of this substitute may also be a trap dug by the enemy for us."
Teresa pinched her braids and pondered slightly.
"It's very possible. Then, we may be able to take a gamble. The trap that the enemy has spent so much time digging is probably just for our son of Danu."
The corners of Theresa's mouth turned up slightly.
"Then, as they wish."
At this moment, Lei Mingkai heard a ringing from Theresa's side.
"Well, I'm Theresa. Well, I get it."
As the sound of the communication hanging up came, Teresa's voice sounded again.
"Knight. Emergency situation."
"Was Mira attacked?"
What Theresa didn't expect was that before she even said what the so-called emergency was, Lei Mingkai was the first to point it out.
"Oh? Knight, you don't seem surprised. Did you expect that Mira would be attacked from the beginning?"
In fact, this was only half of what Theresa said, but Lei Mingkai already knew the meaning of the second half of Theresa's sentence.
"Yes. Mira is the Whisperer. Even if she is attacked once or twice, the enemy will not give up on the existence of the Whisperer. Therefore, Mira's attack is inevitable. I believe you, Colonel, will have some experience of this."
Lei Mingkai's words made Theresa silent for a moment.
"In this case, the knight must have arranged sufficient means to ensure Mira's safety?"
When she spoke again, Teresa brought the topic to Mira's safety again.
"Yes. That is a method that is comparable to the power possessed by the Son of Danu to a certain extent. With it by my side, I will not have any worries about Mira's safety. On the contrary, I will worry about the enemy.
, worried that they would be tortured to death.”
Theresa was slightly surprised by Lei Mingkai's worry. She did not expect that Lei Mingkai would be so sure that Mira would be safe and sound.
At this moment, in a corner of the world that Theresa could not see, a car carrying Mira and the white cat Zero was speeding down a certain highway.
"Miss Mira, sit still. I'm afraid we can't return to the community now." The driver who immediately evacuated after the traffic accident at the intersection once again showed his decisiveness.
At the previous highway entrance, which was also the highway entrance closest to the residential area, the driver suddenly realized that something was wrong and decisively changed the timing of entering the highway, thereby defeating the ambush at the previous highway entrance.
However, he was chased wildly by a large convoy, and among the huge noise coming from behind, there seemed to be the appearance of AS.
“It’s so lively!”
Compared with the extremely nervous driver, the White Cat Zero sitting in the back seat was much more relaxed.
After he calmed Mira's slightly panicked mood, White Cat Zero was like an audience sitting in front of the screen, carefully enjoying the racing drama.
In addition to being interested, he actually wagged his tail.
The chase became more intense.
As expected, this driver hired by Old Jack himself had two skills. He actually relied on this car, which was no different from other luxury cars except for its bulletproof function, to deal with the gangsters chasing behind him for so long.
even,
It also forced the gangsters to directly expose the AS with ecs turned on, regardless of the danger of being discovered by the local army.
The appearance of the dark red AS in the lead immediately made Mira's mood fluctuate again.
"The King of Hell."
"No, it's not the King of Hell."
The next second, the white cat Zero rejected Mira.
As an opponent who has personally "dealt with" the King of Hell, White Cat Zero naturally knows the characteristics of that machine.
What's more, this aircraft does not have the smell of the Hell King that makes White Cat Zero quite disgusted.
"Mira. Get down!"
Suddenly, the white cat Zero shouted.
A flash of fire followed and swallowed the car instantly.
"boom!"
The fireball that exploded instantly lifted the car from behind.
The violent impact of the explosion made the car fearless in the face of hail of bullets, but unable to survive the heavy firepower. It rolled from mid-air and fell hard into the middle of the highway.
And the driver who spent his whole life trying to take Mira to escape from these gangsters finally passed out from the impact of the violent explosion.
Fortunately, apart from falling into a coma due to the impact, the poor driver had no other serious injuries.
Because, at the moment of the explosion, the White Cat Zero, which had been well prepared, immediately protected the poor driver and Mira.
However, the intensity of protection is different.
As Mira who Lei Mingkai cares about, White Cat Zero was naturally well protected and did not suffer even a trace of harm. As for the driver who was able to save his life, White Cat Zero felt that he had done something wrong.
It's superfluous.
"Mira. Come out."
Beside the open car door, White Cat Zero squatted in the burning gasoline, squinting his eyes slightly. It seemed that the flames ignited on the gasoline made White Cat Zero feel comfortable.
Although Mira was a little surprised, after all, she had lived with the white cat Zero for a while, so she was naturally used to the abnormal behavior of the white cat Zero.
Therefore, Mira, who did not dare to neglect, quickly unbuckled her seat belt and left the car where the flames gradually spread to her body in two or three moves.
"Mr. Driver."
As soon as Mira saw the flames, she immediately shouted nervously.
"Don't worry! Mira. These little flames can't break through that defensive force field. Now, we should just worry about ourselves!"
The white cat Zero raised its paw, waved it back and forth from the rapidly rising flames, then turned back to look at the gangsters who were getting closer and closer, as well as the crimson ass following the convoy.
The attack that blew up the car just now came from this crimson AS.
Mira also saw this AS.
She didn't panic, but picked up the white cat Zero, turned around and ran away.
Moreover, he said while running:
"Sir Zero, isn't it true that the sooner we leave here, the safer the driver will be?"
White Cat Zero nodded.
"Yes. There is no doubt that the target of this group of gangsters is you. As long as you leave here, the poor driver will naturally be of little use. What's more, besides the two of us, the gangsters will probably think that that
The poor driver will be burned!"
"Yeah. Okay!"
Immediately afterwards, a chase scene began with a large number of gangsters and several AS chasing the poor girl.
On the other side, Sagara Sosuke, who was also attacked, put down the satellite phone that had just ended communication.
This is a new safety point specially set up by Mithril under Lei Mingkai's reminder.
I didn't expect that it would come in handy in such a situation.
According to Sosuke Sagara's memory, this safety point was clearly established less than half a month ago.
"Thanks so much to the knight for reminding me."
Although this safety point came in handy just after it was set up, Sosuke Sagara was very satisfied.
"Chidori-kun, please stay here and don't go out. It's safe here."
Sagara Sosuke had already checked around this safe spot.
The results are reassuring.
The gangsters who launched the attack did not discover this place, and I am afraid they will not be able to discover this safe spot in a short period of time.
In this way, Sosuke Sagara has more choices.
"Sagara-san, do you want to save Mira-san?"
Chidori Kaname, who was vaguely aware of something, keenly grasped the key points.
"Definitely! Chidori-san and Mira-san are also the targets of this attack. Now that our strength cannot be reinforced in time, my actions may become a turning point in this kidnapping incident."
As Sagara Sousuke spoke, he groped the wall beside him.
Then, in Chidori Kaname's shocked eyes, a wall opened by Sagara Sosuke was actually filled with all kinds of firearms.
There are so many types that Chidori Kaname created this so-called safe point, which is an arsenal in the name of "safe point".
Sagara Sosuke ignored Chidori Kaname's shock, but quickly selected the guns and ammunition that might be used before preparing to turn around and leave.
"Chidori-san, stay here. I have sent out a call for help to my teammates. I believe that someone will come to support soon. However, you have to know that if it is someone you don't know, don't say anything."
After finishing his instructions, Xiangliang Zongjie left without looking back.
Kaname Chidori was left with a still confused look on his face.
"Chachacha"
Heavy footsteps trampled on the piles of dead leaves, making this quiet forest extremely noisy.
Especially after the AS team headed by Crimson AS entered, the frightened birds flying up gave the forest an ominous atmosphere.
"Sir Zero. What should we do next?"
In the woods, Mira followed the white cat Zero's instructions and ran fast until she reached her current location and then stopped.
"Let's rest for a while! Those guys won't be able to catch up for a while."
White Cat Zero glanced at the series of messy steps behind Mira, and then let Mira, who was already a little exhausted, rest for a while.
This distance is nothing to Lei Mingkai, but it is a severe test for Mira, who has not fully recovered.
Let Mira sit on a withered tree and rest for a while. The white cat Zero jumped out of Mira's arms and began to walk back and forth within a hundred meters around Mira with Mira as the center.
seem,
It seems like something is being arranged.
Not long after, a burst of noisy voices came from not far away.
The enemy is catching up.
"Hey! You go really fast."
White Cat Zero glanced at the direction where the voice came from and smiled coldly.
"Sir Zero, I'm ready to rest!"
Mira, who subconsciously thought that the White Cat Zero would let her continue to escape, quickly stood up.
"No. Mira, you should just sit there and wait."
What surprised Mira was that the white cat Zero actually changed his previous attitude and asked Mira to stay where she was.
"Is it an accident? It was just to avoid some trouble. Now apart from us, there are only those gangsters and ass left in this forest. So, I don't need to worry about anything."
The white cat Zero let out a deep roar, which shocked the gangsters who had just walked out of the woods and appeared in front of Mira.
"What? It's a cat?!"
Judging from the sound, the gangsters thought they would encounter a male lion in the woods that should not be here.
But from a visual point of view, the gangsters actually saw a cute little white cat blocking the target, Mira, baring its teeth and claws at them.
This huge contrast immediately made the gangsters burst into laughter.
Especially after it was repeatedly confirmed that apart from Mira and the cute little white cat, they were the only ones here, these gangsters who committed all kinds of evil became even more rampant.
However,
Just when the gangsters thought they were sure of victory and their mission was about to be completed, another deep roar sounded.
"roar!!"
This roar seemed like the earth was shattering. In an instant, the gangsters lost all sense of hearing, leaving only the dizzy and powerless feeling.
When they finally struggled out of the powerless dizziness, the cute little white cat disappeared.
However, a steel lion that was taller than an adult, had a huge and mighty steel head, and carried a pair of long swords appeared in front of the gangsters at some unknown time, and protected Mira firmly behind it.
