Stay away from Conan.

What was happening before their eyes was beyond their comprehension, as if...

It's somewhat like a concept that's only seen in science fiction movies—

After all, judging from the way these toy airplanes move, it's clear that someone is controlling them from behind, but the problem is that there are just too many of them!

If the movement trajectories of these toy airplanes can be roughly divided into several obvious action logics, it can be considered that several people are separately operating different groups of these toy airplanes to cooperate.

But in reality, what these armed men saw were so many toy airplanes, each with its own independent operating logic, and they all cooperated with each other in an orderly manner!

To achieve this level of skill, even on a real battlefield, requires extensive training and extremely high-level command support from fighter pilots.

Therefore, behind so many toy airplanes, could it be that each individual toy airplane is operated by an experienced pilot, and there is also a commander capable of directing such a large number of planes?
If it were truly possible to achieve this, what kind of manpower and resources would be involved, and what level of power would be able to organize such a large number of people just to operate a few toy airplanes?

or……

This situation might also have another, more sci-fi explanation—

Is someone really manipulating them behind the scenes?

The armed personnel present were filled with doubts, but since they had already joined the battle, there was no room for further consideration. They should focus on how to deal with this enemy.

With the rapid addition of two other armed helicopters, "Raven II" and "Raven III," the three helicopters quickly formed a triangular formation, attempting to clear out the annoying toy planes with a crossfire network.

Thus, with the firepower suddenly increased to three times the original amount, the machine gun bullets on board wove into lines of fire in the air. This sudden suppression of firepower was indeed effective immediately. Explosions in the air continued incessantly, and drones were constantly turning into fireballs and falling to the ground.

However, the drone swarm itself was large enough. Although some were lost, the current number of drones was still considerable. Moreover, after the cloud computing model behind these drone swarms updated its data and recalculated due to the suppression caused by the enemy's sudden fire support, it quickly adapted to the pressure and began to command the drone swarms to launch an offensive in a new mode.

Their attacks were consistently focused on the initially damaged "Raven One".

Under the control of the artificial intelligence program, some drones began to entangle the other two helicopters, while more, like a persistent leech, attacked the wounded parts of "Raven One" from all angles, especially the damaged tail and the cracked observation window.

At this moment, the pilot of "Raven One" had pulled the control stick to its limit, the aircraft was shaking violently, and alarms were sounding one after another.

"No! I can't shake them off! They're like they have brains!"

The pilot, no longer caring about anything else, roared angrily, while the armed co-pilot, based on the situation, immediately made his assessment and reported it to the commander behind the scenes:

"This is 'Raven One'! The enemy is too troublesome! Request... do you agree to use 'that' directly to eliminate the source of the threat!"

The "that" he was referring to was a small air-to-ground missile carried by the helicopter.

As for the so-called source of the threat, it is naturally the person standing on the other hilltop that we initially observed, suspected to be the manipulator behind this matter.

That mysterious person who recently caused such a shocking incident in the organization's pharmaceutical factory!
Now that it's difficult to get rid of these troublesome toy airplanes, then...

Perhaps eliminating the person who might be manipulating all of this would be the best way to resolve the matter.

Even if these toy airplanes are incredibly powerful, they can't possibly outrun a missile, right?
Although using it to attack a single target is too extravagant and could expose more information about their own side, and there is a possibility that things could not be resolved properly, it seems that unless the madman suspected of controlling these toy planes is completely destroyed, these elite armed forces may really be doomed here!

This request was quickly transmitted back to a so-called command center hidden in the shadows—that is, to a mysterious figure—via an encrypted channel.

Here, the atmosphere is as heavy as frozen ground.

On the large screen, different scenes were displayed, showing the Twilight Villa, the Cliff Battlefield, and intelligence summaries from various parties.

The mysterious figure was now silently watching all of this—

His gaze was fixed on the silhouettes of people on the cliff edge that the armed helicopter had previously captured with thermal imaging equipment, as well as the specific images of people that were subsequently captured by long-range optical equipment.

On the screen, a young man covered in blood stands there, seemingly controlling a battlefield beyond everyone's imagination.

Mitarashi Kyosuke?
The identity information identified through facial recognition naturally matches the image on the edge of this picture, but...

No, absolutely not!
This face may be a disguise, or it may not be.

With both "Louis" (Hanada Emi) and "Camus" appearing in the scene, the death record of "Mitara Kyosuke" on the drug death list is no longer credible.

But what we see now is the skill this person has displayed, this madness, this scheming that has driven the organization to such a predicament…

What kind of power stands behind this person?
Why would such a force suddenly emerge, directly targeting the organization and whose origins are still unconfirmed?
Clearly, based on the attack patterns of those drone swarms, it can be concluded that this is perhaps some kind of extremely advanced technology that is currently unanalyzable. Therefore, the scientific research strength and resources behind it should not be underestimated!
Right now, directly using missiles to kill them is certainly a very simple option.

But in doing so, all the secrets this person possesses—

How did he learn the organization's core secrets?

Where did his technology come from?
Who is behind him?

Does he have accomplices or backup plans...?

All of these will be obliterated.

What's even more terrifying is that if we kill him and anger the forces behind him, will it provoke even fiercer and more unpredictable retaliation?
Given that even the organization's most core secrets are now at risk of being leaked, and with Sherry already out of contact and the entire treasure of the Twilight Villa exposed, taking any rash action would be unwise.

and……

With high-powered observation equipment, the other two people on the cliff edge could also be clearly seen—

Camus, and Louis.

Camus appeared to be injured, with visible bloodstains on his hands, while Louis stood a short distance away...

So, this is also a new problem—

How did they end up together? (End of Chapter)
