Ke Xue: He mastered the steel-cutting divine skill at the start.

Although he managed to find a phantom thief named Kid through his keen observation, a second Dark Night Duke suddenly appeared. What on earth is going on?

The strange situation that has suddenly appeared now further confirms one thing: there are other people in this base besides those two.

"Oh no, the surveillance cameras in area eight have also been disconnected!"

"Area 23 has also been disconnected!"

"Area Seven is also disconnected!"

One piece of bad news after another arrived, turning Yamada's face ashen. This situation indicated one thing: a powerful force was silently sabotaging the underground base's facilities.

This is no longer just an intrusion, but an invasion and destruction!

"Don't just stand there! Everyone, quickly check the network to see if someone has hacked into our network and caused the separation between the command center and the monitoring equipment!"

After a moment of surprise, all the staff quickly got to their positions and started the automatic detection program on more than a dozen computers, but all of them failed without exception.

"General Yamada, the network cable disconnection was not caused by network issues, but by external forces. In other words, someone forcibly cut all the network cables!"

Judging from the time of the internet outage, the interval between outages in many adjacent locations is no more than five minutes!

Moreover, during the entire sabotage operation, none of the surveillance and thermal imaging systems detected a single intruder!

At this moment, Yamada's mind was in a state of confusion. Could it be that many people had already infiltrated?

But that's simply impossible!

If Phantom Thief Kid can sneak in unnoticed by using disguise and clothing, what about the mysterious Duke of the Night?

After the phantom thief's trail was discovered, the entire base was completely sealed off, right? This place is hundreds of meters underground, how did they even get in?

Could it be that their heavily fortified and permanent fortifications have become riddled with holes?

All of this became a huge question in his mind, but the only thing that was certain now was that they were now caught in a vortex, and an invisible hand was manipulating everything and dragging them into the abyss.

"All combat personnel, listen up! The underground base has been attacked by terrorists. Immediately enter maximum combat readiness. Seal off all passages completely, then immediately close the command center and activate the gas system. I will eliminate all enemies hiding in the shadows!"

Professor Mizuki's face paled: "Mr. Yamada, you're going to use poison gas? No way, I can't accept that! Poison gas and the self-destruct device are the last line of defense for the entire underground base. If they're activated, the danger is just too high!"

Even the slightest leak could have serious consequences!

We also need more than thirty small teams, distributed across various areas. Although each area is sealed off by isolation doors, the airtightness of such things means that even a slight breach could result in heavy losses for our personnel!

Yamada suddenly turned his face, his expression turning ferocious.

"Idiot! Do you know what we're facing right now? I have this feeling of being haunted. What I need to do now is use poison gas to wipe out all the rats that might be hiding out of sight. Only then can I feel at ease!"

Seeing his frantic state, Professor Mizuki's expression changed several times, but he could only grit his teeth and agree.

The other officers also accepted this option.

Upon closer examination, it becomes clear that this is perhaps the simplest and most effective method. Previous extensive searches have failed, and the other party can also cut off the base's communication facilities without anyone noticing. If this continues to be allowed to continue, the consequences will be extremely serious!

The enemy doesn't even need to kill anyone. After cutting off communication facilities, they only need to cut off power facilities and various survival support facilities to completely trap the large and well-equipped military base!

Remember, this place is hundreds of meters underground!

Once communication with the outside world is cut off, and power facilities such as elevators are damaged, everyone might as well just wait to die!

Now, by using poison gas, we can wipe them all out no matter how they got in!

Moreover, since the order came from Yamada, this guy would be the perfect scapegoat when it comes time to take responsibility. Wouldn't that be the best outcome?

At this moment, Yamada didn't have so many ulterior motives. All his attention was focused on one thing: eliminating all the enemies!

Little did he know that a merciless massacre was unfolding in the Thirteenth District!

A flash of sword light streaked past, and a heavily armed figure was silently and instantly cleaved in two, just like an apple being sliced ​​open, instantly becoming two vertical parts.

Moreover, the sticky liquid instantly spilled out, but this wasn't juice produced when fruit burst open; it was real blood!

Fresh blood and internal organs, mixed in with the blood, were scattered all over the ground!

It's like a soup dumpling that's been sliced ​​open with a single cut!

How could this be? What force cleaved him in two? All the soldiers stared blankly at what they were seeing, utterly shocked!

But this was only the beginning. Another flash of sword light appeared, and a soldier saw a tiny shadow. He tried to scream, but it was too late to breathe. His chest exploded open. The main body of the body was still there, but the middle part was so distorted that you could see from front to back. His body went limp and fell to the ground.

"What kind of power is this? What is it?!"

Kambara Masaru's face turned pale. When they were first trapped here, they weren't so worried, but rather very resentful.

It's hardly a glorious thing for a high-ranking Japanese general to be outwitted by a jewel thief.

But he wasn't too worried. So what if he was being targeted by Yamada? Even if he was Kaito Kid, what could he do? Yamada would be back with Kid's body soon enough.

Although he was annoyed by that guy's arrogance and capriciousness, he had to admit that the guy was indeed a rare talent. He not only had an exceptionally sharp mind and outstanding judgment, but his strength was also extraordinary.

The higher-ups have already tacitly agreed that this kid is their successor.

Therefore, he had always been somewhat unhappy with Yamada.

But unexpectedly, at this moment, this situation actually occurred. An invisible light flashed by, and after each flash, a soldier died, and no trace of the enemy could be seen!

The fear of a silent death can be even greater than death itself!

He was now completely consumed by fear!

Chapter 404 A Sword Soars Through the Sky

"Who are you? Why are you killing people here?!"

Kambara Masaru roared, his voice filled with fear, unease, and uncontrollable rage.

However, many of the killings in this world have no answers; they only require two words!

This is what that sword light felt like right now!

If someone had a high-powered camera at that moment, they could have seen clearly, through slow motion hundreds of times, that what killed them was a strange longsword, none other than Miyazaki Yu's sword, Yokokudan.

This sword, without its owner's knowledge, silently infiltrated the underground base and began a massacre without a sound!

Even the bravest soldiers, with the strongest fighting will, need one prerequisite: that their opponent must be within their comprehension.

Otherwise, no matter how many people there are, it will be of no use.

To give an example, even if you have an army of 100,000, you're not as effective as a ghost-catching master when it comes to besieging evil spirits.

A force beyond comprehension, once unleashed, has only one consequence: a dimensional reduction attack!

There's no turn-based combat where you take turns attacking, no wins and losses for both sides; all you get is one-sided crushing domination.

It's always been this way when a higher dimension attacks a lower dimension; you can crush the opponent completely with just a flick of your finger!

The entire underground base is indeed very secure; once closed, humans cannot infiltrate it. But for a sword, it can come and go as it pleases.

After the phantom thief Kid sneaked in, Vermouth, disguised as the Duke of the Night, also secretly followed him in.

After acquiring the brand-new armor, the already outstanding combat power of the ever-changing witch instantly rose to a higher level. Her combat power was far beyond that of ordinary swordsmen. It was precisely because of this that Nishikawa Tetsumei was like an infant in her hands, without any power to resist.

While Vermouth intervened and rescued the severely injured Kaito Kuroba, Dan Yokogami began acting alone, first sabotaging the lines in Area 13 and cutting off communication equipment.

Then, using the speed of the flying sword, they destroyed numerous lines one by one within minutes, rendering the entire underground base deaf and blind, causing great panic among the enemy.

Because of this, their command center lost control of the entire base, and Vermouth was able to easily take the unconscious Kaito Kuroba and leave the base in the elevator in a grand manner!

Meanwhile, Hengyun Duan was wreaking havoc in the base!

Some say that the power of a sword comes entirely from the person wielding it. But if a person's spirit and the sword become one, creating a sword that can strike from mid-air and kill, then this sword is no longer just a sword, but the most terrifying weapon in the world!

As the saying goes, "Having attained enlightenment for eight hundred years, I have never taken a person's head with a flying sword."

This weapon, which combines extremely high speed and unparalleled stealth, is practically a fusion of drones and missiles!

"Thorn-"

Another soldier was instantly cleaved by the sword light, his head and body separated in an instant.

"Ah! A ghost! A ghost!"

A handsome young military officer had completely broken down, his face filled with fear and unease. But his expression froze in an instant as his body was cleaved in two at the waist!

His upper body crashed to the ground, and in excruciating pain, he clawed at the earth, leaving bloody gashes, and screamed in agony, "Help me, help..."

But before he could finish speaking, he breathed his last.

"Damn it!"

Several people rushed out from the group, their eyes bloodshot, clearly filled with extreme resentment. They all raised their guns and opened fire in all directions, but all that could be heard was the sound of bullets hitting the walls and cracking, posing no threat whatsoever to the sword light!

After all the attacks failed, some people lost their minds, pulled out their weapons, and headed towards the closed gate.

Kambara Masaru wanted to stop them, but at this moment everyone was completely destroyed by fear. Faced with an invisible enemy, they could only stand there and wait to die. They couldn't even see the shadow of their opponent before they died!

Even the Predator couldn't experience this kind of sensation!

The soldiers went from fighting demons to fighting iron gates, and this time they finally achieved some results. The sword light was still unpredictable and deadly.

Many people suffered a complete mental breakdown, some even kneeling down to beg for forgiveness, but it was all in vain, and people continued to be killed.

Then someone shouted excitedly, "We've broken through! We've finally broken through the door! We'll be able to get out soon!"

People who were in despair have had their fighting spirit rekindled!

However, as the closed gate was destroyed, a pale green mist drifted in!

"What is this? Why is there green mist in the base?"

But then, the soldiers began to scream in agony. The parts of their bodies that came into contact with the gas quickly developed burn marks, and these marks were spreading rapidly.

"Oh no, this is poison gas! Someone has released poison gas on the roads connecting different areas!"

Kambara Masu cursed inwardly, thinking, "It must have been that idiot Yamada who did this. He obviously didn't solve the problem, so he resorted to such methods!"

The best course of action now is to quickly block the door that has been breached by gunfire!

But at that moment, the gate was suddenly attacked. With a hiss, a long sword appeared on the gate. The gate, which dozens of guns could not easily penetrate, was directly cleaved open!

However, even with the sharpness of the Horizontal Cloud Cut, it was not easy to cut open the gate. Or rather, it could be said that the power of the sword energy was greatly reduced when Miyazaki Yu did not wield the sword himself.

So after the sword pierced through the gate, it darted into the gap like a snake. When it found it couldn't pass through, it immediately withdrew and continued to stab, revealing one hole after another!

"This is a sword! This is the sword that just killed us!"

"How is this possible? A sword that's not being controlled can actually kill someone on its own? How is this possible?!"
