"..."

"Why, you're not going to take it? Are you so afraid of me, a guy you easily subdued?"

This was already a blatant provocation. Lin would not get angry because of it, but he really had no way to hold his gun and pick up something at the same time to suppress Ritt. He was a member of the Poison Pupa and was not weaker than other soldiers in combat.

After considering for a while, Lin approached the file bag. After taking a final look at Ritt who didn't move, he reached out to take the file bag.

With his other hand, he held the gun against Ritter.

Only a few centimeters left.

Lin's hand pressed on the file bag.

"Snapped."

At the moment of this insignificant sound, a cold light flashed in Ritt's eyes. He raised his right elbow and hit Lin in the face with his elbow.

Lin, who had expected Ritt to do this, tilted his head and easily avoided the sneak attack, but his finger on the trigger was not pressed.

Lin's silence surprised Ritt, but it did not hinder his escape. He just ran away, dodging Lin's sweeping kick and running towards the area where the Honkai beasts were imprisoned.

After all, I still haven't recovered to my best condition...

This time Lin did not hesitate and fired three shots directly at Ritter's legs.

"Bang! Boom!"

Ritter dodged the first two shots easily, but Lin deliberately left a gap of less than half a second between the first and second shots so that Ritter could hear it. The third shot was fired much faster than the second, so Ritter, who was unable to react, was shot in the right thigh by the last shot and fell to the ground.

"Ahem... this guy..." Ritt was sweating coldly from the pain. He looked back at Lin, who had already got the file and was walking towards him with a gun.

Lure and then launch a surprise attack. His combat strategy is similar to hand-to-hand combat. He is such a bastard who likes to attack people in secret. His shooting skills are also really accurate.

but……

Ritt jumped up despite the pain and ran forward again, dragging his injured right leg.

Lin, who was about to shoot again, stopped while aiming.

Are you deliberately bumping into the muzzle of the gun?

Ritt knew that Lin was going to hit his left leg, so this time he lowered his body as much as possible to get his vital parts closer to Lin's gun line. This was not a big deal considering Lin's marksmanship, but it still gave him a few tenths of a second of hesitation, and this time was enough for Ritt to do something.

"Boom!"

Two more shots.

Ritmer counted the bullets in the magazine and dodged the bullets again, but Lin used the same trick again and disrupted his rhythm with the third shot before firing.

"boom!"

Ritt, who was concentrating, figured out Lin's trick this time. He dodged in the opposite direction, so that Lin could not hit his legs...

"Snapped!"

A heart-wrenching pain came from my left leg.

"Eh?"

"Bang." With both legs broken, Ritt fell to the ground with a deathly pale face.

He looked back at Lin's still smoking gun muzzle.

Is it aimed at the floor?

This is... a ricochet.

"I've been tricked again. His fighting ability is really outstanding." Ritter shook his head.

But Lin stopped halfway and even lowered the muzzle of his gun.

Because at this time, Ritt was just in front of the gate where the Honkai beast was imprisoned. He barely stood up half of his body, leaned against the wall, and placed his ID card... next to the switch.

"Hehe, now, is it the same as that time? If I release these Honkai beasts, can you kill them all before they hurt others?"

Ritter laughed at Lin who stopped.

Chapter 61: Right Now

"Want to try? Can you break my hand before I release the Honkai Beast?"

Ritter's face was full of mockery, and he moved the ID card towards the switch.

After the two shots just now, Ritter was sure that Lin really did not intend to kill him. Lin could have shot him in the head from behind, but he would only destroy his ability to move.

"This kind of facility cannot be opened with just a simple card swipe." Lin raised the muzzle of the gun a little, aiming at Ritter's hand intentionally or unintentionally.

"Remember the detention facility of the Fifth Branch?" Ritter's mouth curled up to the sides, his eyes widened and he showed a terrifying smile, "Do you want to bet on how I opened it?"

"..."

The huge door stood behind Ritt like the gate to hell.

After a long silence, Lin silently lowered his gun.

Ritter shook his head and said, "What a pity! If you had broken my legs at the beginning, this wouldn't have happened. You are much softer than you appear."

"What should we do next?" Lin Ke was not in the mood to chat. The situation was now at a stalemate, and there was no guarantee that no one would come here later, so he couldn't let Ritt delay time.

"What to do? Turn on the emergency call for me and get out of here!" Ritter shouted.

He didn't think that Lin would value the lives of other people in the Deep Place more than his own. If he continued to threaten Lin later and made Lin anxious, it would not be worth it. It would be best to let Lin take the information and leave now. This would be the best for both of them.

So, what would Lin choose? Would he let this heinous murderer go for the sake of some insignificant people, or would he give up these deep things that are not much better in themselves for the sake of the heroic spirits of the Fifth Branch?

Ritt swallowed quietly. He appeared arrogant on the surface, but he was actually extremely nervous. There was no way he could release the Honkai beast, otherwise he would be the first person to die.

But at least pretend to be one!

He roared fiercely but weakly: "Do you think I don't dare to release the Honkai beast? If I am caught by you, I will definitely be sentenced to death, so don't even think about whether I dare or not. I have killed so many people, so what if I drag a few more into the water in the end?"

Lin silently put the gun into his pocket, looked at Ritt and said lightly:

"You will not."

With just these four words, Ritt's disguise mask was torn off. His fingers froze in the air, and the card was less than half a centimeter away from the gate.

"I know a man. To him, his lover is everything. Everything else is like the light of the stars compared to the bright moon. So I know you won't open it." Lin walked forward slowly. He stared at Ritt who wanted to retreat but had no way to retreat. "Because if you die, your daughter will not live either."

"You...stop!"

"I can help you." Lin continued to move forward. His slowly approaching figure gave Ritt an extremely great sense of oppression, causing Ritt to sweat profusely.

"Stop joking! You're going to let me go like this? Didn't you come here just to catch me?"

"I didn't say I would let you go."

"What?" Ritter was stunned for a moment, then he was furious. "Are you kidding me?"

Of course, Lin couldn't let Ritter and the people behind him go, but he was not the one to make the judgment.

"What's the situation with your daughter?" Lin stood at a subtle distance, not too close, but enough to give Ritt a sense of psychological oppression.

"What do you ask for this?"

"Ordinary disease or Honkai disease?"

"..."

Ritter looked at Lin who was standing calmly with hesitation, gritted his teeth and said, "It's a rare cell necrosis disease. There are only six cases in the world, and the mortality rate is 100%. Now there is only one case left, my daughter."

This one-in-a-billion disease is indeed something that only the Fire Moth can find a way to treat or delay, so Lin was not surprised when Ritter told him about this bizarre disease.

Lin followed him up right after he finished speaking: "I can save your daughter."

"You? Humph..." Ritter said with trembling teeth, "You are indeed a genius in combat, but you are not a doctor. How can you say that you can save her?"

"Do you know Mebius?"

"That Mebius?! Are you crazy? Do you want my daughter to be on that guy's operating table?!"

"But Mobius's research on cells is second to none. If there is anyone who can save your daughter, it should be Mobius."

“……” This time it was Ritter’s turn to be silent.

Lin kept observing the situation around A-3 from time to time to prevent anyone from coming in.

After another minute on Prometheus' time scale, Ritter raised his head and said hoarsely, "What do you want me to do?"

"You are the one who gave the order." Lin's window showed that Ritter's heartbeat had slowed down. He said calmly, "You will receive the punishment you deserve."

Lin has no qualifications to forgive Ritt on behalf of the people of the Fifth Branch, even if he is doing it for his daughter. He also has no qualifications to punish Ritt, even if he deserves to die. The only ones who are qualified are the survivors of the Fifth Branch headed by Dr. Spasi.

Lin will not place himself above the law of the people, but he will not allow the judgment that should come to be exempted because of privilege.

"……All right."

Ritter sighed, put his hand down, and moved the ID card away from the switch.

He leaned against the wall, and at this moment, he laughed easily: "It's the punishment I deserve... Maybe it's right. You are really as weird as the rumors say."

Lin shook his head. It seemed that this matter had come to a successful conclusion. The next step was to find a way to bring Ritt back, and then find the commander of the poisonous pupa and report to Mei.

"Hey, come and help me up. Your two shots broke my legs and I can't walk."

Ritt pointed at his bloody legs. Lin took a look and walked forward to carry him on his back.

However, just as disaster strikes without warning yet reveals patterns everywhere, all seemingly sudden accidents have traces to follow yet still catch people off guard.

"drop----"

The hairs of Ritt and Lin stood up at the same time, and a chill ran up from the soles of their feet.

Unexpectedly, the tightly closed door that imprisoned the Honkai beast suddenly made a loud noise and then opened with a bang.

Ritt stared with wide eyes as the Honkai beasts that were originally contained in cabins that were like cells walked out of the opened cabins, letting out distorted screams.

"howl----"

What's going on? He clearly didn't turn on the switch.

In this situation where all Honkai beasts are released at the same time, it is impossible to have the same effect by just opening a door!

At this moment, an idea flashed through Ritter's mind, and then his mind went blank.

"We were discovered?"

Chapter 62: Getting Something for Nothing

"We were discovered?"

Ritt muttered in a daze, watching a suspended squid-like Honkai beast float in front of him, extending its sharp tentacles and attempting to pierce his brain.

"Oh!"

Lin pulled up Rite to dodge the attack of the Honkai beast, pulled out his pistol and shot, but this gun was not a special anti-Honkai weapon. The bullet shot into the body of the Honkai beast, but the wound was very shallow and did not hit the core at all, causing no substantial damage.

"Lin, there are thirteen Honkai beasts, all of them are special lower-level Honkai beasts."

In order not to hinder Lin's information collection, Prometheus switched to voice broadcast, and the mechanical girl's voice reached Lin's ears.

Lin raised his foot and stepped on the small Honkai beast, placed the pistol in the center of its tentacles, and then fired.

"Oh!"

Hit the core.

Lin threw away the empty pistol, hugged Ritt with both hands and flew backwards.

The remaining twelve Honkai beasts were still just out of their cages. After a brief pause, they began to rush towards Lin Xixi.

Lin said as he stepped back, "There is a surveillance camera on you."

These words struck Ritter like lightning.

At this time, the two Honkai beasts ran towards the exit. Lin's pupils shrank, and he immediately said to Prometheus: "Prometheus, block the door!"

"Unable to operate the detention gate."

"It's the door to area A-3, seal it all!"

Ritter shuddered and grabbed Lin by the collar: "Are you crazy? If you block A-3, we will all die!"

But if A-3 wasn't blocked, there would be even greater casualties, so Lin repeated without hesitation: "Block A-3!"
