"Thorn-"

In an instant, a large amount of electric current crackled, and the Titan blocking the door was hit by the magnetic storm ball and short-circuited instantly. The mecha could no longer move, so Wang Chen and others successfully escaped from under the mecha, entered the stairs and climbed to the upper level.

"Damn it! How could they escape like this! Why were those magnetic storm balls wrapped up by the opponent's cloak and not exploded!" the operator couldn't help but curse.

"If we fire a cannonball now to blow up the stairs, we might be able to kill one or two people."

"Asshole! The stairs are right next to the load-bearing wall. Do you want to move the entire Me Company building down?" The captain of the command team cursed twice and said, "Notify the other members of Anti-Entropy immediately and ask them to try their best to stop the Phantom Thieves!"

"Yes!"

Chapter 155: Rain of Bullets

Outside the Me building

"This is Yusuke from Search Section 3... Yes. Yes. Got it. Tsk, you hung up so quickly, your tone was so damn aggressive, you can't catch anyone, so you just bark everywhere." Officer Yusuke glanced at the communicator in his hand and started swearing.

"Is there any new situation in there now?" Kyohei Penglai Temple asked after he noticed that there were no more sounds of explosions and heavy objects knocking on the first floor.

"Well, we can go in now. I guess the other classes have received the message as well. We are ordered to leave some people to continue guarding outside, and the rest of us to go in and arrest the Phantom Thieves. Kyohei, you go first. If we don't chase them, we may never see the shadow of those powerful kids again. I'll go and arrange the deployment of the personnel."

After Officer Yusuke finished speaking, he picked up the police communicator again and began to deploy personnel to each unit, and Kyohei Horaiji went straight into the Me company building without saying a word.

When they entered the first floor, they found the tragic situation inside. Many members of Anti-Entropy who entered attracted missile bombardment in the first wave. There were big holes on the ground, blood and flesh were blurred. The smell of blood when they entered made even the prosecutor, Kyouhei Houraiji, frown.

Fortunately, this was not the first time that Kyouhei Hōraiji had to deal with this smell and this tragic situation, so it was not that unbearable. Kyouhei Hōraiji focused his attention on the Titan mechas that had stopped and were in silent mode in the hall. Looking at these killing machines, Kyouhei Hōraiji could not help but clench his fists a little, and then loosened them.

It's never the machines that are wrong, but the people who use them. There's no need to waste feelings on these mechas. Kyouhei Horaiji came to the stairs. The Titan that was paralyzed by the Phantom Thieves had already resumed operation and had long left the stairs. It was quietly in the middle of the hall and would probably be taken away by the anti-entropy personnel soon.

Kyouhei Houraiji began to quickly climb the stairs to catch up with the Phantom Thieves.

……

The staircase layout of Me is very strange. You will reach the top every three floors, and then you must go through the corridor on the third floor and go to another place to find a new staircase going up. It is said that this is based on some kind of humanized design concept to prevent employees from being in a claustrophobic corridor environment for a long time. Although it sounds ridiculous.

Of course, no employee would actually climb the stairs all the way up, after all, it is at least 45 floors high. Most people go up by elevator.

However, the elevator of Me Company has been physically destroyed by the anti-entropy personnel. As a result, the Phantom Thieves can only choose a fixed route to go to the top floor, and cannot use the elevator directly.

Therefore, the Phantom Thieves had to deal with countless enemies along the way, especially in the narrow corridors. Almost every time they turned a corner, they would be fired at by the enemy.

"Da da da da da!"

Currently, the front team of the Phantom Thieves is on the 15th floor, while the support team is on the stairwell between 15 and 14, helping to resist the Anti-Entropy personnel who are chasing them from behind.

[My gradually fading friend]

What are you thinking about at this moment?

【Using silent leaves to convey love】

"A flash of lightning!"

After [Raiden Mei]'s Phantom Thief Weapon, the Singer's Sword, eliminated the hostility of the enemies that appeared at the entrance of the corridor, Mei also used her own Phantom Thief Weapon, the Lightning Sword, and combined with the power of the lightning element of the Thunder Attribute God's Eye, she transmitted the paralyzing current to every enemy blocking the stairs, paralyzing them.

"Freeze!" At this time, Bronya also used the power of her ice-attributed God's Eye. When the ice element came into contact with the residual lightning element on the anti-entropy personnel, an elemental reaction quickly occurred - superconductivity.

The superconducting reaction not only specialized the damage of the ice element, but also made the clothes of those anti-entropy personnel brittle, and they became tattered with just a slight movement. (The truth about the reduction of defense and physical resistance =v=)

This scared away a lot of anti-entropy personnel. They were not afraid of a bloody fight even if their heads were cut off and their mouths were bleeding. But this kind of behavior of destroying clothes and killing people was too mean, especially since there were many female combatants among the anti-entropy personnel.

Of course, there were some fighters who were relaxed and determined, who didn't care about these incomprehensible means at all. They didn't care if they had clothes on or not, and they endured the paralysis. Even their wills were not affected by the singer's sword, and they still took out their weapons, even pistols, and began to aim at the members of the Phantom Thieves.

"Shhhhh-"

"Combined attack skill - Overload Fire Dance!"

I saw several clusters of flames like phosphorescent fire flying towards the ground, suddenly igniting some rose petals with thunder elemental power that were scattered on the ground at some point. In an instant, those petals suddenly exploded, knocking out all the anti-entropy fighters who wanted to shoot.

One of them bumped into a group of Anti-Entropy members, and eventually crashed into the gate with them, causing it to close. These people fell on the gate, acting as obstacles, preventing the people inside from opening the gate, and temporarily blocking the support of the Anti-Entropy personnel at the lower level.

"Well done, we can hold them off for a while. Let's go and check out the situation ahead. We're already on the 15th floor, and we'll soon reach the cable passage in the electrical room that you provided, Bronya. Then we can go directly to the 30th floor." Wang Chen said.

Yes, even if the elevator to the top floor was blocked, Wang Chen and others did have a shortcut. They found the key electrical room cable channel on the 15th floor. Since the president's office has a private elevator that goes directly to the underground base, the connecting cable that controls this part of the elevator is independent of the entire Me building.

Therefore, there is a narrow cable passage in the electrical room on the 15th floor that leads directly to the top floor, and there is a risk of electric shock. However, this risk will not have any effect on the Phantom Thieves, after all, they have three people who control the power of lightning.

So Wang Chen and the others climbed up the stairs and came to the frontal assault team. Listening to the fierce gunfire, Wang Chen asked: "How is it, are you sure you can break through?"

"There are quite a lot of people, and they are arranged in a classic two-horizontal formation with dense bullet trajectories. Plus, the distance is quite far, so it's difficult to attack without exposing our true strength." Theresa said after roughly assessing the opponent's firepower.

"These guys have learned their lesson and are not going to disperse their formation to catch us. But it's not a big problem. I'll resist the first wave of attacks first, and then Crimson will attract the second wave of firepower, and open weapons at the same time to see if we can silence a few of them. Hikari, Silver Wolf, and Mushoku will conduct long-range shooting interference. Finally, all of you in the melee group will rush forward and disperse them. Teriri, you take the lead!"

After Wang Chen made the tactical arrangements, everyone nodded. So Wang Chen was the first to rush out, and as soon as he showed his head, he was attacked by a hail of bullets. Wang Chen opened his cloak without hesitation. Wang Chen's cloak had been in contact with Anti-Entropy's bullets countless times. It was already a common knowledge among Anti-Entropy personnel that as long as the shooting continued, Wang Chen's cloak would also be tattered. Of course, this was intentional by Wang Chen, after all, this was the only way to hide his shortcomings.

The same is true now. Wang Chen did not choose to use the cloak to push all the way to the end, but first resisted the first wave of bullets, and then let [Raiden Mei] take charge of the second wave of bullets. Now, when the second row of people finished shooting and started to reload, the first row of people had already aimed at Wang Chen's tattered cloak, ready to shoot again.

Chapter 156: The Vanishing Phantom Thieves

Just as the first row of anti-entropy personnel aimed at the damaged cloak and prepared to shoot again, a woman emerged from the corner, soared into the air, and rushed straight towards the two rows of gun teams like a flying man. It was [Raiden Mei], and she began to lead and deal with this second wave of attacks. So most of the people in the first row immediately separated and shot at the woman.

"Bang bang bang bang...!"

Gunshots rang out one after another, and flames came out of the gun barrels one after another. But from the perspective of [Raiden Mei], the bullets were as slow as a turtle. She saw that the shoes she was wearing were emitting a faint blue light. That was another Phantom Thief prop - the dancer's shoes, and it began to work.

Under the effect of her special item, Mei Raiden moved directly on the air and easily avoided this round of aerial shooting. Moreover, Mei Raiden moved closer to the anti-entropy fighters, allowing them to enter the range of the Phantom Thief's item, the Singer's Sword.

Drawing the sword, chanting, all in one go. The sound began to affect every Anti-Entropy member. Some Anti-Entropy members were able to resist the mental effect and continued to prepare for the attack, while others lost their fighting spirit and began to lay down their weapons. But whether it worked or not, because of the sword drawn by [Raiden Mei], a certain amount of trance time was created, which created a gap of time.

At this time, Penglai Temple Jiuxiao, Bronya, and Colorless Huihuo all used their weapons. Sleep gun, freeze gun, and Colorless Huihuo's air cannon. Well, the air cannon has a similar effect to a certain item in a national comic. Of course, since it is a phantom thief item, the knockback effect of the air cannon is strengthened and the lethality is eliminated.

The attack of the three people completely disrupted the formation of the gun team. They could no longer easily shoot at the first time. At this time, members of the melee group, Theresa, Kiana sisters, Aisha, and Raiden Mei rushed towards those team members, knocked them to the ground, and temporarily lost their ability to move.

Especially Theresa, her little fists were very ruthless. Relying on her super strength, she could knock out a member of the Anti-Entropy Organization with one punch to the chest. Really - little fists hitting your chest, Theresa's super strength version.

Others either used the Phantom Thief's props, or just used their fists or legs to punch and kick like Theresa. For example, the Kiana sisters, and Aisha who didn't have props yet. Only Raiden Mei was still using the Lightning Sword to paralyze the enemy with the Eye of God.

After getting rid of the enemies, Bronya came to these people and began to use her own equipment to interfere with their communication devices. "I have interfered with the communication, so that the Anti-Entropy personnel will not be able to confirm the current situation on the 15th floor. The Anti-Entropy members must need me to deal with the interference problem. I can delay everyone for 10 minutes. This time is enough for us to disappear from the electrical room."

Bronya said after she finished interfering.

"Okay, our goal is to go straight to the top floor!" Wang Chen nodded, led everyone to the electrical room, and began to look for the cable passage leading to the top floor.

……

Me Club 13th Floor

At this moment, Kyouhei Houraiji arrived at the 13th floor, where he had been staying for a while. In the process of climbing up the floors, there were traces of battles everywhere along the way. Many of the anti-entropy personnel were subdued by the Phantom Thieves, but most of them were now crowded on the 13th floor.

After all, the 13th to 15th floors share a stairwell, so if you want to go to the 15th floor, you have to go through the stairwell on the 13th floor. However, the current situation is that the staircase door on the 13th floor is blocked and cannot be pushed open, so people on the 13th floor cannot get in at all.

This was the reason why Kyouhei of Penglai Temple had stayed here for so long. He had no other choice but to be trapped here temporarily.

"What's going on?" Now, Yusuke also came up with the police officers, and saw that the place was very messy and crowded, so he asked.

"The gate is blocked. We need some tools to remove it so we can get in."

"This is easy. I have asked the technical team to bring the tools. Hey! Guys in front, if you don't want to delay the capture of the Phantom Thieves, get out of the way!" Yusuke led his team with a toolbox and dispersed these people and left quickly.

Under professional dismantling, the door was removed, and a group of Anti-Entropy members who had fainted at the stairs were the culprits blocking the door. After dragging these people aside and handing them over to their people for processing, Yusuke and other police officers went upstairs one by one. First, they checked the 14th floor and found that it was empty, then entered the 15th floor, and ended up running into the Anti-Entropy personnel coming down from the upper floors. The leader was a member of the special search team.

"Where are the Phantom Thieves! Why do I only see you and not them!" After seeing the police officers coming up, the member of the special search team asked with a gloomy face.

"Phantom Thieves? Didn't they rush over you?! We didn't see any Phantom Thieves. In fact, the door to the 13th floor was blocked until we came up just now. We should be the ones asking the above questions." Seeing that the other party didn't treat him well, Yusuke naturally wouldn't give a cold shoulder to these guys from the airborne special search team, so he retorted.

"What do you mean?"

"What I mean is that you lost someone, so don't put the blame on us! People from Section One and Section Two will be here soon. You can ask them the same question in front of them and see if they would like me to be polite to you like this." Yusuke said sternly.

The member of the special search team wanted to say something, but when he saw more police officers coming up, he gave up and continued searching with his men in silence.

"It's really terrible. There's still no explanation of what happened." Officer Yusuke shook his head and said.

"Let's go, Yusuke. It seems that the Phantom Thieves disappeared inexplicably in this building. However, they probably didn't escape, but hid somewhere. Let's see if we can find them." Kyohei Horaiji began to investigate the clues at the scene, and began to ask about the situation of some anti-entropy personnel.

Soon, Kyouhei Horaiji and Yusuke understood what had just happened. The Phantom Thieves clashed with the guards on the 15th floor, who had successfully delayed the Phantom Thieves 10 minutes ago. They formed a siege with the people below and were about to capture the Phantom Thieves.

But not long after, the communicator was suddenly interfered and it was impossible to contact the fifth floor. After 10 minutes of repair work, it was found that there was a problem on the 15th floor. The personnel stationed on the 16th floor were immediately notified to enter the 15th floor to investigate the situation. In the end, only those members were lying on the ground. The Phantom Thieves mysteriously disappeared.

The people on the 16th to 18th floors all confirmed that they had not seen the Phantom Thieves appear, and the road below had long been blocked. So where did the Phantom Thieves go? Why did it disappear from the 15th floor? This is the question facing Kyouhei Horaiji and Officer Yusuke.

"boom"

After searching one by one, Kyouhei Horaiji and Officer Yusuke came to the electrical room and found that there was no one here, just like in other rooms. For a moment, it seemed that the Phantom Thieves had really disappeared from the face of the earth.

Chapter 157: Target! Underground Base!

"This is the last room... Could it be that those guys just disappeared? We can't find them at all." Yusuke sprayed the reagent, trying to find any traces left behind. It turned out that there were traces in places that were often touched by the staff.

Wearing white gloves, Kyouhei Penglai Temple carefully checked the room. He had been checking the rooms one by one. Suddenly, Kyouhei Penglai Temple looked up at a passageway and pointed at it and said, "That's the cable passageway, right?"

"Do you suspect they are hiding in there?" Officer Yusuke turned on the flashlight and shone it, then said, "This passage is very narrow... but it is not impossible for people to go in... However, if you don't take safety measures for static shielding, you may be at risk of electric shock if you rush in."

"It's obvious that the power is still on. Are they going to risk catching a cold by hiding in here? What's their plan? According to the previous description, those guys climbed to the 15th floor, but the people in the building still couldn't stop them."

"I'm not sure, but since there is a possibility here, we can give it a try. Find professional technicians to check inside. First determine whether the other party is hiding inside." Penglai Temple Kyohei said, "As for us, let's go to the upper floors to look for it. Maybe those guys have missed something."

"Okay...but it's also possible that before we find them, they suddenly pop up on a certain floor...They are always so elusive." Officer Yusuke said.

So the two of them opened the communication, contacted the technicians and arranged for them to go to the electrical room, while they continued to search for the whereabouts of the Phantom Thieves in other places.

However, what they didn't know was that they had indeed found the hiding place of the Phantom Thieves, but due to the limitations of ordinary people's bodies, they were unable to enter and explore it immediately.

Now, in this long passage, ten people were like centipedes, climbing up in a long line. The one at the front was [Raiden Mei], because she had to help the team disperse and avoid the risk of electric shock.

Wang Chen was at the end, responsible for covering the rear and also using the power of thunder and lightning to work together with [Raiden Mei] to protect the team members from electric shock.

"Hmm... It's so numb... I feel like a weak electric current is flowing through my body." Kiana said as she climbed upwards.

"Sorry...Kiana, maybe I don't have a good grasp of my power yet." Raiden Mei said a little embarrassedly on top of Kiana.

Raiden Mei is in the middle of the team, and is mainly responsible for connecting [Raiden Mei] with Wang Chen's lightning power. Well, it's like a transit station.

"Hehe, Mei's electric leakage... I don't care. It doesn't matter if I shock her again." Kiana said with a perverted smile.

Then Kiana's little ** was slapped, and Bronya said expressionlessly below Kiana: "Don't act crazy here, go back and act crazy, hurry up and climb up."

"Damn it! How dare you pat my butt! No one except my brother-in-law dares to pat my butt! Just wait and see how I'll deal with you, little dwarf, when I get back!" Kiana used her legs and one hand to support her body to prevent herself from falling. After rubbing her butt, she continued to climb up while cursing.

"Hey, hey, hey..." Theresa was clearly using both hands and feet, but she was climbing up slowly and carefully. Wang Chen, who was following behind, couldn't help but said to Theresa at her extremely slow pace: "Teriri... Teriri! Can you hurry up, Teriri? Don't dawdle."

"What's 'teriri'...it's 'teriri'! And don't rush me, I've worked very hard to climb up, I just don't want to tear this dress that has been with me for so many years." Theresa couldn't help but say.

“Well, let me ask you… Although the soundproofing of this place is good, isn’t it a bit inappropriate for you to be making so much noise like this?” Aisha, who was above Theresa’s head, whispered.

"Um...sorry."

Because of Aisha's reminder, everyone focused on the crawling passage again.

……

After a long while, finally, Raiden Mei arrived at the exit of the passage and transmitted information with tactical glasses:

"We have reached the top floor. I will first check out the surrounding situation. Please wait for a moment."

"Got it!" everyone replied.

So, [Raiden Mei] climbed out of the passage, her shoes emitting a faint blue light again, she slowly stepped on the air and gently fell, paying attention to the movements around her. Mei was very familiar with this room, it was the only room on the top floor, the president's office of Me Company.

[Raiden Mei] first came to the front door and looked through the crack in the door. There were more Anti-Entropy soldiers outside than on the 15th floor, and the weapons in their hands were no longer ordinary standard firearms, but more like powerful weapons used to deal with the Honkai side. There was also another type of Anti-Entropy mecha in the corridor - the Shaman mecha.

The characteristic of the Shaman mech is that it can release a time-space deceleration position and provide a strengthening position to the friendly forces. In this way, with the cooperation of the Shaman mech, it will become extremely difficult to deal with and break through this force, especially if you don't reveal your true strength.

Fortunately, they had successfully avoided a direct confrontation by taking a shortcut. So [Raiden Mei] quietly used electromagnetic force to lock the door, then returned to the passage and used tactical glasses to contact:

"Everyone can come down now. The enemies are behind the door. I have locked it. But in order to avoid alerting the enemy, we should speak quietly."

After the input was completed, the second person to jump down was [Kiana] who had been behind [Raiden Mei], followed by Colorless Radiance, Kyushu, Mei, Kiana... The members of the Phantom Thieves Team came out of the passage one after another.

"This is my dad's office." Mei Raiden was very impressed by this place. This was not her first time in this room. Looking at the familiar layout, Mei Raiden could not help but think of him.

"Sure enough... Yoshino Shinnosuke is not in the office. It is obvious that he is hiding in the base under the Me building. And the secret elevator door that should have been hidden... was opened so openly, as if afraid that we would not notice it. It is inviting us to come in." Wang Chen quickly noticed the passage that appeared at the bookshelf, so he said.

"After all, Anti-Entropy is determined to wipe out our Phantom Thieves this time. You should have noticed that, except for the last floor, these Anti-Entropy soldiers in the building are basically members armed with ordinary firearms. They are not the elite forces of Anti-Entropy. The real enemies are all hiding down there." Bronya said.

"If we go down like this, won't we fall into the enemy's ambush?" Theresa said after hearing everyone's conversation.

"Don't worry, Principal Teriri. I have already set up a backdoor program for the elevator in advance. It will stop at a certain position in the middle, and then we will break through the door and the wall. Behind the wall is a ventilation duct that leads directly to the top of the base. We can enter the duct and sneak into the base." Bronya said slowly.

"However, our ultimate goal is to expose ourselves. After all, what we need to steal this time is not other messy evidence and exhibits. It’s... this." Wang Chen took out his mobile phone, turned on its photo and video function, and said with a smile.
