NIKKE, when the stars bloom

“Marian and the others will be awake in about three hours. The brain damage of mass-produced patients is relatively serious, and it is possible that the coma will be prolonged.

If they haven't woken up for more than twelve hours, please try to contact me. If that doesn't work, you can ask Viper for help. Tell her that I owe her a favor.

Well, time is running out, I have to go back quickly.

You will also be responsible for the thirteen girls, Agnes."

"Alright, alright~ Commander, you're only in your twenties, why are you nagging like an old dad?" The girl also imitated someone else and carried the shotgun on her shoulder, joking with a smile on her face.

"Leave it to me, Commander. You should go back quickly."

As Anis spoke, she walked around Phoenix's side and pushed the man with her hands.

"Go back quickly! Don't be late, Commander!"

"Well, I'll trouble you then."

The lieutenant, who knew his priorities well, nodded and said nothing more. He followed Anis's movements and walked out the door.

Unexpectedly, just as he reached the door, the girl tugged at his sleeve again.

Then, the confused man instinctively turned his head, and the girl, who stood on tiptoe, cleverly seized the opportunity and successfully pressed her soft lips against her man's thin lips.

Not lasting,

Not warm either,

It would be more appropriate to use the word "peck" rather than "kiss", just like a dragonfly skimming the water.

If I had to describe it more specifically...

Some of them are like the dreamy scenes in literary stories where a newlywed husband is getting ready for work and kisses his new wife goodbye before leaving.

These small details that successfully rise to the level of life are like an endless stream of warmth, wrapping and soaking someone's heart and soul layer by layer.

If the current conditions did not allow it, Phoenix would even want to hurt his kidneys at this moment and check the quality of the bed in this hotel.

Unfortunately, there were only two hours left until six o'clock, leaving him no time to make a quick decision.

"Then...see you tomorrow night."

"Hmm."

Seeing his wife's rosy face, the man, who had forgotten about his weak kidneys, couldn't help but kiss her back.

Finally, the lieutenant opened the door, left the hotel quickly under the gazes of Anis and the thirteen girls in the corridor, and ran towards the direction of the isolation wall.

……

……

"Boss, judging from the death scene, it seems that these human traffickers encountered a monster."

At the outer entrance of the underground secret passage, a gangster dressed in a well-dressed suit raised his lips frivolously and reported the situation in detail to his leader.

When the consultant mentioned that the guy called "Monster" was suspected of forcing the abducted people to shoot the traffickers, Hedonia's boss, a woman named Rosanna who believed in "fighting violence with violence", couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

"Let the victim shoot the perpetrator? Hmm, that's a good idea. It's not the style of the Qingming Society or the Mudan Society, but it suits my taste.

Can you track him down?"

"no problem."

The consultant raised his left hand and pressed the brim of his hat, and answered confidently: "Looking at the footprints, the other party should have left with those girls. It is impossible to cover up the traces along the way.

But do you really want to chase him? That monster slaughtered a small secret passage all by himself. "

"Yeah...that's right."

After hearing her men's advice, Roxanne thought for a moment, raised her right hand, pointed the muzzle of the gun at the ceiling of the Ark, and laughed heartily.

"This kind of character really needs the help of the boss. Okay, let's take a long-term view on this matter. Everyone else, blow up this road for me, so that those bastards won't keep thinking about the human trafficking business."

"Okay, boss!"

"Got it, boss!"

……

Fifteen minutes later...

There was a continuous sound of detonators exploding, and a smuggling channel representing evil was buried by rubble.

Then, another fifteen minutes passed.

When the breathless Phoenix arrived three hundred meters outside the ruins, he saw the three-dimensional picture of the ruins being bombed in advance through the consciousness map.

The lieutenant's heart was filled with a deep confusion that even Letcher had never given him.

The road... just disappeared...

Who did it???

Chapter 158 Ingrid's Helplessness

It is true that it is common for plans to fail to keep up with changes.

However, such a sudden change, which was like being cut off on the battlefield, was still too shocking for Phoenix.

There is only an hour and a half left until six o'clock. If he still wants to return on time, the only way is probably to ask Yinhua to pick him up by helicopter.

This is obviously impossible.

But even in this desperate moment, the lieutenant still honestly took ten seconds to conduct a deep reflection on his rash behavior of going to the outer area.

It was my own fault for not having a reliable backup plan.

It was also his own fault that he did not give orders for a few ghost girls to stand guard for him.

and so……

Who blew up the tunnel?

"Falin, go notify the rehabilitation center and implement the emergency plan.

Then I need to know the information of the rehabilitation center, at least once an hour, please help me arrange it. "

He quickly adjusted his mentality, and the next moment, Phoenix raised his right hand and gently covered his face. With the help of Anik, a nano-metal mask that fits the facial bones perfectly appeared on the man's face.

……

……

Failure - Recovery -

Failure, recovery, failure, recovery...

Failure - Recovery -

In Nikki's detention area of ​​the rehabilitation center, Kansi lowered his head in annoyance and looked at the magnetic shackles that bound his hands.

As the shackles' signal lights failed rhythmically, the jailbreak master, who had communicated the Morse code with the lieutenant in advance, had already realized that the other party had encountered an emergency and was unable to return in time.

In other words, it was time for her to run away.

If you assist prisoners in the first-level detention area to escape, once this crime is discovered, the central government will definitely require you to restore your settings to factory settings!

"Second Lieutenant, you owe me a huge favor!"

Knowing that she was drawn into the vortex of struggle, Kansi muttered unhappily, then she used her own ability to shut down the camera in the cell, turned over and crawled into the newly dug tunnel.

……

……

drip-

The private cell phone rang with a clean and neat ringtone, just like the owner's quick and decisive style of doing things.

Glancing at the strange caller on the screen, Ingrid raised her hand with a serious expression and answered the call.

Few people in Fangzhou knew her private phone number.

No one would take the initiative to call her private phone, not Anderson, not Mastin, not her assistant, and certainly not Shuen.

After much thought, it could only be that bastard lieutenant who told her not to come that night.

Even though the voice on the phone was that of a young girl, Ingrid still insisted on her guess.

Sure enough, after saying hello, the other party succinctly summarized the situation of the asshole lieutenant.

He escaped from prison.

But I don't really want to jailbreak.

When I was planning to go home, I ran into some trouble and couldn't come back for a while.

"What is he doing in the Outer Rim?"

There was no need for Kansi to reveal it. Just from the fact that he couldn't come back, Ingrid could infer that he had most likely gone to the outer area.

There was no way. The Ark City was so peaceful. Who could trap that bastard without making any noise? ? ?

Only the outer areas can do this, because the movements in the outer areas cannot be transmitted to the urban area in a short time.

"I don't know. The lieutenant didn't tell me. I'm just a messenger. If the boss..."

"and many more."

Before Kansi hung up the phone, Ingrid stopped the girl and said:

"I will come to the rehabilitation center at six o'clock and stay there until ten at the latest. Can you pass this message to Lieutenant Phoenix?"

"I……"

Kansi was just about to say that the connection between the lieutenant and himself was one-way, but unexpectedly, the magnetic shackles on his wrists flashed a creepy red light of failure again.

"……OK."

"Well, that's it."

drip-

After receiving Nikki's reply, Ingrid hung up the phone without even saying hello, then lay down on the recliner, showing an extremely rare tiredness and helplessness.

Helping that asshole lieutenant to delay time was undoubtedly the biggest risky move she had made in the past two days, but Ingrid had no choice.

If she couldn't get Phoenix's false confession, she would lose the most powerful evidence when questioning Pure Land's involvement in the plan to transform humans in Parliament.

If she loses this political infighting, she will face an unimaginably cruel reckoning.

Death may be her happiest ending.

So saving that bastard is equivalent to protecting yourself.

……

……

"Ingrid offered to protect me?"

More than an hour later, the lieutenant hiding near the ruins of the bakery learned the decision of the CEO of Paradise from the ghost girl.

Just like the woman guessed that he was in the Outer Rim from the news that "he couldn't come back", Phoenix also easily judged the other party's situation from the decisions he made.

She would rather play her cards openly to protect herself, which shows that the woman has no confidence in her current situation...

It seems that this ark has to be returned. As long as they can help Ingrid get the Pure Land, then the two of them who have made false confessions together can be considered to be in the same boat...

【coming. 】

Just as Phoenix was thinking about his own political capital, Anik, who was conducting a high-intensity scan of the surrounding 300 meters, also brought him good news.

——More than two dozen gunmen were rushing towards the bakery.

Judging from the rapid speed of their movement, it is very likely that this is the original force to which this secret passage belongs.

If one can open up a secret passage for smuggling, then one must know something about other secret passages in the outer area.

Hua la la la——

The sound of churning leaves came from the lieutenant's right hand, and a long knife instantly replaced the man's arm.

Tonight's night,
