"Do you know?"
After standing quietly in the heavily guarded crowd for two minutes, Li Wensu Jiang suddenly broke the silence in a low voice. Ever since he received the "order", he had been very obedient. This was the first time he took the initiative to speak. "Even though you and our combat members are waiting for someone to come down, there is a big difference between you and them."
Lin Sanjiu glanced at him.
"Haven't you thought about it?" Levensu said in a low voice. His voice was mellow, and the night breeze blew it away. "Silvan might not be able to come down."
"Of course, you would like to think so." Lin Sanjiu immediately smiled. "I also remember you admitting that his combat ability is outstanding. How many people are there in this tower? Are there more than a hundred? "
"No, there are only the commander and a few people on duty in the tower."
"You think you can stop Silvan with just a few people?"
"Of course, he won't be defeated by a few people. Even if one of them is the commander, I don't have high hopes for that." Levensu paused for a moment. When he saw Lin Sanjiu looking at him, he continued, "Look around."
Lin Sanjiu looked around curiously and doubtfully. In her vision, most of the people from the Munitions Factory, including a few "Lollipops" and "Flaming Arms", were looking up at the sky, waiting for the situation to change. In the open space below the slender tower, there was a group of fully-armed combat members. They had just been organized and were ready to go up the tower. Lin Sanjiu's gaze lingered on the group for a few seconds, and she couldn't help frowning.
"What are they waiting for? Why aren't they going up? "
"You asked the right question." Levensu sighed. "They are trying to communicate with the tower. Before they contact the inside, they won't barge in recklessly. "
"Why?"
"Because the tower itself," he answered quietly, "is a weapon."
Lin Sanjiu immediately understood what he meant. In her shock, she quickly turned around and studied the tall, slender tower in the air. It was sleek and simple, and there was not a single muzzle or deck. However, it was its almost harmless appearance that made her heart shrink.
"But weapons are all external," she shook her head. "It can't be used internally …"
"Is it impossible?" Li Wensu Jiang crossed his arms. "It's the commander's residence precisely because it has a powerful internal protection system. Rather than saying that someone was fighting, I think it was more likely that the internal protection system was activated. No matter who goes in, if he doesn't come down in the end, we won't be alarmed … "
Before he could finish his sentence, three consecutive sharp alarms pierced through the night sky, each shorter and more urgent than the last. Lin Sanjiu's ears were filled with the sound of the sirens. Just as she was about to turn her head to ask Levensu something, her peripheral vision was suddenly swallowed up by a blazing red light.
An earth-shattering boom, accompanied by a turbulent explosion, engulfed everything, including Lin Sanjiu. Almost everyone, including Lin Sanjiu, was caught off guard and fell to the ground. A few people who were closer to the tower caught on fire in the blink of an eye. They struggled madly, sending sparks flying everywhere. The sparks streaked across the night sky and suddenly became brighter and brighter. It was as if they had absorbed the lives of humans.
Levensu Jiang couldn't care less that he was still under someone's control. He got up from the ground and rushed forward. He shouted, "Those with Dimensional Ability, separate them now! The rest of you, fall back! "
Half of the Black Tower floating in the dark night gradually twisted into a nearly transparent blue color from the top of the blazing red. Lin Sanjiu's face was burning hot from the air, but her fingertips were cold. She was stunned for a few seconds before she came back to her senses. She jumped up and rushed toward Levensu Jiang. When she arrived behind him, she heard a member of the Munitions Factory reporting the situation to him.
"Gone," the person who was speaking said. Half of his face was lit up by the raging fire in the sky. Countless beads of sweat glistened. "The commander's vital signs are all gone …"
'So, Silvan has succeeded. He's here to assassinate the commander!'
"I got it," Lin Sanjiu thought. Then, Levensu Jiang asked, "What was that intrusion alarm just now?"
She was stunned for a moment before she realized that Silvan had already infiltrated the command tower and the Munitions Factory had been mobilized. The alarm just now must mean that something had happened in the Munitions Factory.
'Could it be that they found out that the Scholar has been stolen?'
"It's at the research building," the member of the Munitions Factory who reported the situation seemed to confirm her guess. However, he quickly answered, "Someone saw Commander Silvan there!"
"What?" Levensu Jiang grabbed the man's collar. "Who saw him? Is it really him? "
"Yes, it is him. She saw Silvan's — No," the short man gulped, "She saw Silvan's face."
"Tell me everything. Don't squeeze the toothpaste!"
"A female researcher saw him," the short man answered hurriedly. "She was going to retrieve some materials in case of an emergency. She didn't expect to bump into Commander Silvan … He … He seemed to be looking for someone."
Lin Sanjiu tried her best to move a few steps closer. At that moment, the sky was burning so brightly that it looked like it was going to collapse. The ground was filled with people screaming and running for their lives. Levensu Jiang did not notice that Lin Sanjiu was already close to him.
"The researcher said that he was looking for a woman. Because when they were still a distance away, he seemed to have mistaken her for the person he was looking for. Until the two of them met face to face. Fortunately, because she was a woman, he did not do anything and let her go. As for where he went after that, no one has reported anything yet. "
'What's going on? Why would Silvan go there to look for her? '
Frowning, Lin Sanjiu realized that something was wrong. She swung her hand and gripped the small box tightly. The [Command] ability on Levensu Jiang was about to end. Just as she gripped the [Empty-handed Kleptomaniac] tightly, Levensu Jiang suddenly let go of the short man. He turned around, and their eyes met.
"He is looking for you," he said in a low voice. The veins on his cheeks bulged. "What's going on? Who is that person in the tower? "
Lin Sanjiu patted her chest and used her third chance.
"Don't worry about anything else." She stared at Levensu Jiang without blinking and ordered, "Bring me out of the Munitions Factory and find Luther!"
Li Wensu Jiang stood motionless, the black hair on his forehead constantly blowing against his mask.
"Now!" Lin Sanjiu Jiang could feel the strange flow in her body when she activated her ability. "Bring me to Luther!"
However, he did not move.
