Herrscher of Reason's Arknights

"You're not worthy, little kid."

That didn't seem enough; the beautiful leather boots were stomped hard on the girl's ankles.

The immense force seemed to cause the joints to groan in agony, unable to bear it any longer!

"woo woo woo woo!!"

Such a kick is something even an adult might not be able to withstand, let alone a small child.

Looking down at the maggots on the ground, it was as arrogant and self-righteous as if it were looking down at its master who was looking down at his slaves.

The shadows obscured the girl's face, leaving only her crimson eyes staring at Swire on the ground like a demon.

"Now, do you remember?"

The girl maliciously twisted her ankle downwards, pressing down on the girl's ankle little by little. If she exerted any more force, the fragile joint would break.

He finally saw fear in the girl's eyes.

Only then did Pianna retract his right foot with satisfaction.

"That's more like it. Remember to be a good boy. And be good from now on, or I won't mind putting a few more screws in your joints~"

Several long nails appeared in the girl's hand, clearly tools for reinforcing things. There was also a hammer beside her. The girl smiled maliciously, her split mouth resembling that of a demon from hell.

No, this guy is definitely a demon.

Unconcerned about the stares of those around him, even though the Ursus people looked at him with apprehension, Pianna remained unmoved.

She is who she is.

That's it.

I can't wait...

I really hope this time it will bring out the protagonist she's meant to confront.

After all, this is something only a truly heinous villain would do.

P.S.: Ah, what a scumbag woman, I'm fine now.

Section 98, Chapter 95: The Interlude

"This is it."

In the pitch-black subway tunnel, Hoshiguma, dressed in a police uniform, stood in the darkness, watching Ken open the iron door in the maintenance passage.

That was one of the passageways leading to the upper structure.

However, few people knew about this road, so there were no police forces blocking it off. Of course, the thugs didn't know about it either.

Without the original building design blueprints, no one would have known that it was possible to access the ground floor of the building.

"Sister Ghost..."

"Ok?"

Hoshiguma was fully prepared. Today, she was clearly not as relaxed as before, and the demon mask on her Hannya appeared exceptionally fierce at this moment.

It was probably only at this time that Hoshiguma acted like her fellow Oni.

"Why...didn't you bring all the brothers with you, instead of guarding the back door?"

"There are too many people, it's too conspicuous, and it's too dangerous. I'm here to make a living, not to die."

Danger?

It's more than just dangerous.

They faced a near-death experience.

The building was teeming with rioters. The Guard Bureau's offensive had been repelled three times in the past few hours, and the close-quarters urban warfare inside the building had become a nightmare for the commandos.

"Having one more person means having one more person to look after you."

"No, this time is different from usual. I have to be responsible for the people I bring out. Otherwise, I won't be able to explain it when I go back to my hometown."

Ken's worry was evident, but Hoshiguma simply responded with a confident smile.

"Don't worry, when I'm out on the run, I've never met anyone who could threaten me."

As Hoshiguma spoke, she put the wireless headset on her ears.

Yan also has a wireless headset next to her ear.

That was for communication. Hoshiguma couldn't have infiltrated with bundles of architectural blueprints, so the task of providing guidance fell to Ken and his group of underlings.

"It's up to you, Yan."

With that, Hoshiguma gave an OK sign and prepared to head into the building's basement.

"Miss!"

"Ok?"

"...Come back alive."

"must."

················

In the underground parking garage, the presence of the Guard Bureau attracted the kidnappers' attention.

It's much safer here.

Of course, this is relatively speaking.

Since the only exit from the underground parking garage was on the first floor, and as long as the gate on the first floor was closed, no one could get in, there was no one guarding the place, which allowed Hoshiguma to easily break in.

After all, no one could know that there was actually a small passage leading in.

Due to the power outage, it was pitch black here as well.

However, the demons' powerful sense of smell had already detected the bloody stench permeating the air.

There have been armed clashes here.

Soon, following the scent, Hoshiguma found the source of the bloody smell.

Those were the bodies of security guards abandoned in the underground parking lot.

A dozen or so corpses were piled up here like discarded garbage, emitting a bloody smell.

It didn't look like it had been dead for long; the body hadn't even started to decompose.

And each person's body was incomplete.

It was more like a large pile of body parts than a corpse.

The smooth, even cross-section is like a strange art form.

A disgusting and perverse sense of humor.

Maybe there's a really strong guy among these guys.

···············

It was 3:15 PM.

"Power is being transferred; I will take full command on site."

Standing among the team members, the streets were completely blocked by police cars and black armored vehicles from the Royal Guard Bureau; the Royal Guard Bureau had mobilized its entire force.

This is tantamount to disturbing the peace of Longmen, and the negative impact has already been caused. What we need now is to quickly prevent this from causing even more serious consequences.

The assault team is ready to assemble, and General Jiu will lead the assault team to conduct an indoor assault.

She is not the kind of person who just stands behind everyone and gives orders.

Only by being there in person can you understand all the circumstances.

Suddenly, the phone rang again.

This time, the caller ID still showed no number.

"Quiet."

He gestured for everyone to shut up and then answered the phone.

"Good afternoon, everyone from the Royal Guard Bureau, and my dear Miss Jiu."

The female voice on the other end of the receiver was soft and intellectual.

"You are their leader, aren't you?"

Nine's voice, however, was as cold as the wind from a frozen land.

"Oh, no, no, I'm just a migrant worker trying to make a living, but..."

Judging from your appearance, you're probably about to enter the building. Where's the brave officer leading the charge? Seeing how hard you're working, don't you want to...?

"Let's play a game."

Nine looked up at the upper floors of the building, and at that moment, Pianna was standing at the window, and the two of them could see each other.

A white snake and a crimson demon.

As for the snipers, they were taken care of by the mercenaries before they could even fire.

Their apertures were simply too conspicuous.

"Speak your mind! I suggest you talk more now, so you won't be too trembling to speak when we arrest you!"

However, Jiu's threat only elicited a clear and pleasant laugh from the receiver.

"Miss Jiu really likes to joke around. But since you're so confident, let's begin the game. As for the details, remember to watch TV!"

"Television signal".

Covering the phone's receiver, Jiu commanded.

Soon, the television in the command and monitoring vehicle lit up with a communication signal.

However, the girl in the picture is blonde.

There were many other hostages around.

As for the rioters, they held cold weapons and crossbows, looking menacing as they stared at the camera.

The person who spoke with Jiutong did not appear on camera.

"As for the game's prize, how about we take the future of Lungmen as the prize?"

The demon finally revealed its fangs.

"Starting now, every ten minutes I will livestream the killing of one hostage. This young lady from Taigu is the sixteenth. The game lasts 160 minutes. Let's see if the righteous police officer defeats the bad guys first, or if the bad guys succeed! Good luck, Officer Jiu, the future of Lungmen..."

—The responsibility now rests on your shoulders, officer!

"madman!"

Nine's intuition tells him that this woman is absolutely capable of doing what she says she will do!

Time waits for no one.

"Form up! We're out of time!"

·············

P.S.: I closed my eyes, and when I opened them again, it was already noon. [Headache]

The decline of RTS games was inevitable. I randomly downloaded and played Global Operations yesterday. I got completely destroyed by the computer. Does the AI ​​in this game have unlimited resources? Why were enemy infantry groups already blocking my gates while I was building soldiers?

Chapter 96, Section 99: The Final Performance

"The third passage ahead, turn right."

"Go upstairs, then turn right, and go to the third door. That's the emergency escape route."
