Kicked out of Rhodes Island, a small quilt was covered in the hole of the Longmen Bridge

"brake!"

A dummy model popped up on the second floor next to it, and the blue-eyed gray wolf jumped to the window on the second floor almost at the same time, and inserted the dagger into the dummy's neck.

Immediately afterwards, two dummy models appeared in the parking lot. Gray Wolf threw the dagger at the dummy on the left, stepped on the wall by himself, and rushed towards the other dummy at a speed that was almost as fast as the dagger.

The dagger was first pierced into the skull of the dummy on the left side, and Gray Wolf immediately took out the dagger and pierced it into the suppressed flank under his body.

Like a hungry wolf preying on prey, it is precise, bloody, and fast.

After the simulation training was over, the blue-eyed gray wolf came out of the room and found a reloaded operator wearing sunglasses standing outside the room at some point.

"The movements of flowing clouds and flowing water are very powerful."

"……Um"

Gray Wolf froze for a moment, then nodded to the other party.

"It's just that some of your attack methods are a bit too aggressive and risky. Although they are indeed efficient, if you encounter a powerful enemy or make a mistake, there is a high probability that you will also be traumatized."

The uncle wearing sunglasses commented on Gray Wolf's fighting style, while the latter blinked his blue eyes.

"If you can exchange 1 with a strong enemy, that's enough."

"I see."

Gray Wolf's answer made Uncle Sunglasses nod thoughtfully.

"Which department are you from, boy?"

"Department...I've been here less than two weeks."

"So you are a new operator, come on, try to attack me."

Uncle Sunglasses took out the shield behind him, and signaled the gray wolf boy to attack him.

"Ok."

The gray wolf didn't hesitate either, and rushed towards the opponent at an almost unstoppable speed after receiving the order.

Snapped!

The dagger in Gray Wolf's hand was blocked by Uncle Sunglasses, and the boy Gray Wolf immediately changed his posture and turned his thumb into a dagger, aiming at the neck and stabbing it.

"Well!"

The uncle in the sunglasses turned his head sideways to dodge, and at the same time exerted strength from his waist, using his shield to push the gray wolf boy away from him.

"...you didn't attack"

The assassination failed, but Gray Wolf, who was not injured himself, tilted his head.

"Because my duty is to protect, I care more about how to protect myself than killing others. After all, only those who can protect themselves are qualified to protect others."

"……Can't understand"

Gray Wolf honestly expressed his confusion.

"Young man, do you have someone you want to protect?"

"No... No, I want to be able to protect my companion, but she doesn't seem to need the protection of others."

The gray wolf boy thought of someone, but he also thought of what the other person might say, "Compared to you, bombs are more trustworthy".

"No one can face the coming storm alone, and one day you will meet more people worth protecting."

The gray wolf boy didn't respond, his face was expressionless, but he seemed a little confused.

After a brief exchange, the man in the sunglasses put the shield back on his back and reached out to the gray wolf.

"ACE"

"...Birch"

The young man who called himself Bai Hua hesitated for a moment before handing out his palm, and the uncle wearing sunglasses in front of him was also the first "new companion" that Bai Hua met in two weeks after joining the mercenary team in the Tower of Babel.

Later, under the guidance of ACE, Bai Hua got to know more companions on the Tower of Babel, and also got to know the existence he hoped to protect. That was the happiest time he had spent so far.

------

Chernobog Upper Town Square

"you……"

Bai Hua was a little confused about the situation for a moment, but the ACE who was supposed to evacuate suddenly turned back, and was now resisting Tallulah's attack in front of her.

"Hide behind me."

"--understood."

Now there is no time to worry about those minutiae, the red dragon in front of him is not an existence that he can just smile and leave it alone.

"Stupid behavior."

boom!

Tallulah shook the ACE away and then swung the big sword in her hand, cutting the air again, forming a stream of flames that burned everything.

"Leave the temperature of the wide area to you, and I will block her concentrated attack!"

"receive."

Bai Hua jumped in front of ACE, and used Taotie to "swallow" Tallulah's sword energy again.

Although ACE's arrival was unexpected to Bai Hua, the two immediately formed a team with a tacit understanding. ACE used his own origin stone skills to isolate the surrounding air and flames that were no different from hell, while Bai Hua repeatedly defeated Ta Lu. All the hacks and slashes that were pulled were smashed into pieces.

In an instant, the two arrived in front of Tallulah again, and the red dragon was ready to slash again.

"Think beautifully!"

The special steel cable fired from Taotie's wrist to the long sword wrapped in Tallulah's hand, and the red dragon didn't react for a moment to the never-before-seen greeting.

It was also at this moment that Bai Hua gathered the steel cable and pulled herself forward, then swung the glove with her left hand at the big sword.

Keng! ! !

With a loud noise, the great sword was blown away by Bai Hua, and Bai Hua raised his right fist to aim at Tallulah's head, while the Red Dragon also raised his palm almost at the same time, with his slender fingers resting on Bai Hua's chest.

"...Heh, it looks like we've reached a stalemate."

Tallulah smiled.

"At this distance, you can use those gloves to attack me who has no ability to block, but I will also melt your body through."

"Meanwhile, my companions have arrived."

The smile on the corner of Tallulah's mouth was a bit pervasive, and ACE also noticed that some figures appeared at the outer ring of the square at some point.

Cartes in a white cloak, Phaedia holding a crossbow, Riboli with a strange cane...

These are all leaders of the integration movement.

"Does your companion have the ability to put broken heads back together?"

Bai Hua also confronted Talula with a smile, but from the corner of his eyes, he noticed the land around the two, which had leaked out due to the fighting between them. In the soil, Bai Hua saw a dark pipe with a post on it. With a red triangle exclamation mark.

"You can have a try."

"That's right, if that's the case—open your shield!!"

Bai Hua issued an order to ACE, and at the same time waved Taotie sideways at the black pipe in the pothole.

boom! ! !

With a loud bang, the energy pipeline buried deep in the square was ignited and detonated by the white birch, and the huge waves that were set off instantly lifted the entire square into the air.

The sand, dust and mud continued to splash outward, covering everything.

After the dust settled, two shadows disappeared in front of Tallulah.

"[Rhode Island], and [Unknown Luper Pretender]...I remember."

Tallulah picked up the long sword that fell aside and patted the long skirt, turned around and joined the leaders of the integration movement.

On the other side, a ruin in Midtown——

"Cough cough cough... Pooh!"

Bai Hua leaned against the wall and kept sticking out her tongue, hoping to spit out the dust that had been eaten into her mouth.Even birch is a carbon-based organism after all.

"Welcome back, Bai Hua."

"Um... eh?! What, what birch—I'm foxtail."

ACE on the side greeted Bai Hua suddenly, which made Bai Hua startled, and quickly denied it three times.I'm not, I don't, I don't know.

"The camouflaged tail is on fire."

"Woof?! Really or not—isn't this good!"

Bai Hua hurriedly turned to look at her own tail, but the disguised fox tail was still hanging on behind her.

"what……"

Bai Hua, who confirmed that his disguise was not exposed, wanted to tell ACE that this was a good job, but he realized that he seemed to have been tricked.

"You have changed a lot, Bai Hua."

ACE took out the emergency bandage from the chest strap, preparing to treat the wound on Bai Hua's arm that hadn't stopped bleeding before.

"No, there's no need...well, I——I'm foxtail."

Bai Hua wanted to refuse ACE's help, but because he was really out of strength now, he was subdued by ACE obediently and treated the wound on his arm.

"Can you smile now?"

After the dressing was finished, ACE asked Bai Hua a question that sounded a bit strange.

"……Um"

But Bai Hua still responded in a serious manner, and at the same time, the corners of her mouth raised, showing a smile to ACE.

"It's great that you're alright, Brother ACE."

"You are the one who has been making people feel uneasy—well, you have grown a lot taller."

ACE patted Bai Hua's head lightly, and found that the gray wolf had grown a lot taller than when he first met.

"Don't pat me on the head like that, I'm already a serious professional..."

Bai Hua felt upright and said no, but she wagged her tail diligently.

"No, that's not right—I'm hiding Foxtail Grass, a member of the elite 'SWAT team', in order to avenge the integration movement. I have nothing to do with Rhodes Island, and I don't know any of you!"

Bai Hua suddenly remembered his identity and status quo, he quickly pulled his head out, got up unsteadily and prepared to leave.

"That— hurry up and join Amiya and the others, Brother ACE, take care of yourself!"

Bai Hua hurriedly escaped from the ruins, and by the way, said words that would probably make ordinary people confused.

"...Your choice is correct, Dr. Kelsey."

After a brief meeting with Bai Hua, ACE put away his smile and got up to rush to the meeting point.

When Kelsey expelled Bai Hua, almost everyone questioned whether her actions were correct.And no matter how everyone questioned or even cursed, Kelsey still never explained his behavior.

But this time after a brief encounter in Qiecheng, ACE finally understood the lynx.

If he had been in Rhodes Island, it was impossible for that gray wolf to show such a smile, and he would only sink down forever.

"ACE, ACE, call back, call back immediately!"

Doberman's voice came over the intercom, and ACE pressed a button to reply.

"This is ACE, go to the meeting point immediately."

"Damn - thank goodness...! I thought when you were cut off..."

"It wasn't me, Dopin."

"What do you mean?"

"Let's talk about it after we meet up."

ACE cut off the conversation and got up to go to the meeting point.

But after leaving the ruins, ACE suddenly realized a problem.

It's impossible for Bai Hua to appear here suddenly, he must have mastered Rhodes Island's internal mission route.
