Quadruple split.

Chapter 2563: Midnight

It is an indisputable fact that everyone is in a bad state.

But this was not a reason for the group to stop. As the saying goes, once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. After slaughtering everyone in [Music Field·Warm Cocoon] except the victim, Mo Tan and others had no way to retreat.

After all, Woodlouse will not give up, and even if he does, the Paw Patrol and the Wreck-It Ralph mercenaries are not going to give up with him.

Except for Anthony, everyone can realize how precious time is at this moment. In this case, every extra minute of delay will increase the variable. Considering the means of that [Woodlouse], everyone has reason to believe that if it cannot be killed in a short period of time, then the best result is that the opponent will leave Ankh and disappear.

This result obviously cannot satisfy anyone who has witnessed [Music Field·Warm Cocoon], especially——

"Song of the Night."

Mo Tan sighed silently, half-knelt beside his online lover who had been lying on his side by the campfire until just now and had just stood up, with no color on his pretty face and red eyes, and whispered, "Don't force yourself."

"If you don't force yourself at this time, there will be no time to force yourself."

Without denying that he was in a very bad state, Ji Xiaoge just gently but firmly held Mo Tan's hand, revealing a haggard but strong smile: "And aren't you still here, my Lord Knight?"

Seeing that the other party had made up his mind, Mo Tan did not say anything more, but just bowed his head slightly and said: "Then, is there anything that Your Excellency the Knight can do for you?"

"No~"

The girl raised her hand and pinched the knight's cheek. The curve of her mouth seemed a little more natural than before: "It's okay as long as you are here."

"..."

The knight, who was told that he didn't need to take any responsibility, lowered his eyes. The curve at the corner of his mouth revealed a hint of bitterness because of his sweetheart's thoughtfulness, and he didn't say a word.

As the core of the team, Mo Tan knows better than anyone how bad Ji Xiaoge's current condition is. Compared with people like Bilge, who are young but have been in the mercenary circle for many years, or Dabus, who has been in society for many years and is mature and resolute, Ji Xiaoge, as a girl in her early twenties who has not yet left the ivory tower, has been carefully protected by her parents and sister since childhood and has rarely been exposed to negative information. No matter how strong she is, it is difficult for her to recover from the shock brought to her by [Music Field·Warm Cocoon].

As a well-educated and considerate girl.

As a girl with a strong sense of justice and good character.

As a girl who hates evil and dares to love and hate.

Ji Xiaoge could not easily let go after witnessing the tragic situation in the music venue, nor could she cheer up in a short period of time.

However, for the same reasons mentioned above, she decided to force herself without hesitation.

Since I can't let it go, I'll just move forward with this burning bitterness.

Since I can't cheer up, I'll just carry this heavy sorrow and move on.

This is not easy, it can even be called a torture.

But she couldn't turn a blind eye to it, and she knew that there were some things that someone had to do.

So, even though the system kept strongly suggesting that she go offline immediately to calm down, even though the despair that lingered in the playground almost suffocated her, even though her heart was filled with fear about the next steps...

Ji Xiaoge still ignored the option of escape and made the decision without hesitation.

"I see."

Feeling the other person's warmth, sincerity and firm belief, which was far more attractive than her perfect appearance, Mo Tan smiled and nodded slightly. Then he walked to Birger and others with the girl who gently held his arm, and said seriously: "Then, the rescued girls are handed over to you. Remember to hide your whereabouts and don't return to Anka before receiving our news."

Bilge nodded vigorously and answered without hesitation: "Don't worry, Brother Mo, we will definitely settle those people."

"Brother Mo!"

Haroni pursed her lips, looked at Mo Tan and said hesitantly: "I... I think..."

“You have a difficult task.”

Without waiting for Haroni to finish, Mo Tan stared into her eyes and said seriously, "Listen carefully, young lady. As I said before, the victims were severely injured both mentally and physically, and a considerable proportion of them were affected by drugs. You guys are not only the spent force, but you also have several small bases around the Anka Market that can be used at any time. So no one is more suitable for this than you."

"But……"

Haroni opened her mouth, as if she wanted to explain something, but the professionalism of the senior mercenary eventually made her give up the argument and nodded gently, "No, I understand. I'll do as you wish, Brother Mo."

Mo Tan, who had already seen through the Highland girl's thoughts, smiled and reminded her, "Don't think this is a simple matter. Don't forget that the victims we rescued are all witnesses. Although it is unlikely that the Woodlice can react in time, as long as conditions permit, they will definitely try to silence them by any means, and you are the only barrier in front of them."

"Yes."

Haroni's face immediately turned grim, and she said sternly, "Please rest assured, Brother Mo, whether it is to make that [Sewolf] pay the price he deserves, or for even the smallest degree of justice, we will swear to protect those people."

Mo Tan nodded with great satisfaction, then stopped smiling and said seriously, "Then, protecting those people until they meet up with us at dawn is the reward for Paw Patrol's assistance to the Wreck-It Ralph Mercenaries in resolving the Unicorn Mercenaries' conspiracy. Is that ok?"

"No."

Before Haroni could react, Bilge next to her immediately stood up and said anxiously: "They clearly gave us the easier task, how could you ..."

"Bilger."

Mo Tan calmly interrupted the other party, and said in a tone that was not harsh but revealed an unquestionable tone: "We don't have much time."

Upon hearing this, Bilge, the proudest nephew of Largo, the leader of the [Destroyer Mercenary Group], who was trusted by his peers and elected as the temporary leader, immediately stopped talking and quickly changed the subject, "Then, we will go over and meet up with Ms. Samurai Shodown, and then go directly to the hidden base that we confirmed with you guys earlier. Only our own people in the mercenary group know about it. As long as we are careful and leave no traces, it shouldn't be easy for others to find it."

Mo Tan nodded with satisfaction, then turned to look at Gu Xiaole who was jogging over, and gave the latter a hidden look. "I'll let the Samurai follow you."

Gu Xiaole nodded to Mo Tan secretly, then raised his hand and pointed to the area not far away that had lost all color and was only black, white and gray. He said seriously, "It may not be very comfortable to act with her, but only the one who is 'heart to heart' with me under any circumstances can ignore the distance and convey the message. You guys should just give me face and be patient for a while."

Bilger immediately replied decisively: "No problem, don't worry, Miss Xiaole, we will definitely get along well with Ms. Samurai Shodown."

"Hehe, that's good."

Gu Xiaole raised his hand and wanted to touch Bilger's head, but because he was too tall, he could only pat his arm. He said cheerfully: "Then you can go. If you have anything, just let Samurai Shodown tell me."

Just like that, under the watchful eyes of Mo Tan and others, the six young Highlanders, Bilge, Haroni, Nymya, Alkik, Nar and Zar, cheered up and ran quickly towards the area that had been transformed into a "ghostland" and was full of victims of the amusement park, with firm and solemn expressions.

Mo Tan believed that even if they encountered danger, they would definitely keep their promise and do everything they could to defend the safety of the victims of the entertainment venue, even if it meant losing their lives.

and so--

"Sister Xiaole."

After Birger and the others had completely left, Mo Tan chuckled and confirmed with the Great Yin-Yang Master who was standing beside him and Ji Xiaoge with his hands behind his back, "Is everything okay?"

"No problem."

Gu Xiaole snapped his fingers and said with a smile, "The inherent barrier I just created is quite special. Although it will continue to consume my spiritual power, as long as the medium can be transferred, I can bypass the distance limit through Samurai Shodown or Origami. The medium I used at that time happened to be the Samurai Shodown's Royal Coin [Shenganjie], so as long as that guy is there, Little Bill and the others should not be in danger."

Wang Badan, who slowly crawled over until Burge and the others left, tilted his head to glance at Gu Xiaole and asked, "So, what's the price?"

"The price is that we lose the combat power of Samurai Shodown, my spiritual energy consumption will be much greater than usual, and I can't use that control-type inherent barrier for the time being."

Gu Xiaole leaned down, hugged Wang Badan's head and rubbed him hard, while saying cheerfully: "But these are just small problems. I'm a great sister. Even so, I'm super, super, super reliable!"

Although he had an extremely bad personality, Wang Badan knew very well who he could offend and who he could not offend even if he was beaten to death. He sighed silently, not even daring to roll his eyes. He could only be tormented by Gu Xiaole as if he was petrified.

"Well then, let's briefly discuss the next course of action and then hurry up and get going."

After receiving Gu Xiaole's affirmative answer, Mo Tan breathed a sigh of relief, looked around at his friends, and said seriously: "According to the information we just got from the place called [Music Field·Warm Cocoon], the place located in the west of Anka Market, bordering the permafrost, should be a small excavation site."

"cough."

Ji Xiaoge gently patted her beloved's back with her wings and reminded him quietly: "That's the north, we are in the west."

"Um……"

Mo Tan, who did not lie subjectively but simply made a cognitive error, was not punished by [Chivalry·Honesty], so he continued after a subtle pause: "In theory, the excavation site is weaker than the music field just now in terms of scale and combat effectiveness, but considering the concealment of that place... there should be some key things hidden in it."

Dabus rubbed his chin and asked hesitantly, "But we just destroyed that damn place. If the other party gets the news, will they set up a trap there to trap us?"

"In theory, no."

Gu Xiaole shook his head, raised his index finger and said seriously: "I have asked several corpses. Because the nature of that ghost place just now is too bad, it has always maintained a considerable degree of independence. In other words, the number of times it communicates with the outside world is quite conservative, and the means of communication are also very primitive."

Yaya, who was thinking more actively at the moment and rarely lazy to use her brain, frowned slightly and asked, "Isn't it too idealistic?"

"No, because the worst case scenario is what Da-chan said, the other side gets the news and sets up a trap."

Gu Xiaole licked his lower lip, and the corner of his mouth curled up in a seductive arc: "According to the lolita-loving hooded man, [Soolice] does not have any epic strongmen who can be mobilized at will, and the other three 'colleagues' belonging to [Viper Chamber of Commerce] are even more threatening to him than us, so... hehe, Mo-chan, you should know what I mean, right?"

"So the place just now is probably the base where the core forces of the [Sowlet] gather. Even if he wants to plot against us, the cards in his hand are not enough to deal a fatal blow to us."

Mo Tan, who kept both trump cards in his hand, nodded slightly and said with a serious look, "If he had brought the direct troops that replaced the Unicorn Mercenary Group over there in person, it would have saved us a lot of effort."

"whispering sound……"

Yaya pouted, turned her face away in dissatisfaction, and complained: "Why should you be so handsome?"

"Yes, yes!"

Ji Xiaoge's wings puffed up as if ready to set sail, and he said seriously: "Ya Ya, you also think Mo is handsome, right?"

"I think it's pretty cool, too, sis."

Gu Xiaole chuckled as if he was afraid that the world would not be in chaos. Then, before Mo Tan was about to vomit blood from the pressure, he smiled and got back to the point: "But we'd better move quickly. If we can't finish most of the things before dawn, the cycle of this operation will be extended by at least twice. God knows how many headache-inducing variables will appear by then."

"Then, without further ado—"

Mo Tan immediately jumped onto Wang Badan's back and followed Gu Xiaole's words and said seriously: "Let's set off now, Ye Ge, Sister Xiaole has to take care of the [Inherent Barrier] over there, so leading the way and being on guard will be left to you. Yaya, Anthony, and Dabus should take the time to recover, as there may be a tough battle to fight later. I'm on my side..."

"What do you say?"

"I plan to take a closer look at those key 'evidence' books first. If necessary, I may have to go offline for a while."

"……silent."

"Well, I'm here."

"Hey, it's nothing, this is what I want to hear~"
