When Fujimaru Rika and Wei Gong heard this, they both turned to look behind Parson Lip, then fell silent.
Because the battle between Ryuga and Parsons Lip was too loud, they couldn't be distracted, so they didn't notice until Meltélise pointed it out.
Gone.
The only passageway leading to the control room was gone.
Since some time ago, the passageway had become hollow. The original transparent bottom and walls had disappeared, and there were also irregular cracks around the passageway, as if someone tore the passageway from the building with their claws.
"I've said it before, Lip is an Alterego who specializes in destruction. As long as she can wrap something in her palm, no matter how far it is or how big it is, she can crush it."
Meltélise sighed silently: "Even the walls of SE.RA.PH are no exception. Even if it's the walls of this computer space, she can still crush them."
"When she came out, her claws scratched around the walls, which was enough to crush the walls and the passageway, compressing them into unrecoverable data blocks, turning this area into a void. In other words, our only way out is gone."
She continued: "Although SE.RA.PH has a self-healing mechanism, as long as Lip is there, she can crush the passageway at any time. In other words, we can't enter the control room from the front."
The only passageway could be crushed at any time, and with the Stronghold level defense, it really became a case of one woman guarding against ten thousand enemies.
No matter who came, they couldn't break through the blockade here.
"Originally, her weak personality was her only weakness, but after being forcibly restrained, even her only weakness disappeared, damn it …"
Meltélise cursed under her breath, then looked at Tachika Fujimaru as if nothing happened. "So, do you want to continue the stalemate here?"
"No, we can only retreat now."
Tachika Fujimaru's answer was much more decisive than she had imagined. Her desire to save people did not weaken at all, but she would not stubbornly continue to be in a stalemate when she could not win.
"Elder Wei Gong, I'll leave this young lady to you. Ryuga Jann, retreat!"
She entrusted the female employee with chestnut-colored curly hair to Wei Gong, and then shouted at Ryuga who was not far away. She was fully prepared to retreat.
In fact, Ryuga had already planned to retreat without her saying anything.
It was not that he did not have a way to bypass Parsons Lip and sneak into the Central Control Room.
After all, even Alterego needed to rest. As long as he used the Invisibility Rune and Aura Concealment Skill when she was resting, he could definitely sneak into the control room without anyone noticing.
However, he did not intend to spend too much effort on saving people.
Even if he could really sneak in, at best he could only save a few ordinary people. Moreover, if those ordinary people swaggered out, there was a possibility that they would be discovered by Lip.
Moreover, he had already obtained all the information about this Singularity from Meltélise. In view of this, those ordinary people were really worthless. There was no reason for Ryuga to go out of his way to save them.
The reason why he came here was to see if he could defeat Parsons Lip as a Labyrinth Guardian and complete the Spirit Base Mission. He did not have the slightest intention to save people.
Other than Tachika Fujimaru, there should be no one who would spend so much effort to save a few ordinary people.
"I know, sorry for the insolence."
While Parsons Lip was recovering, Ryuga quickly retreated and came to Tachika Fujimaru's side. After apologizing to her, he stretched out his hands, lifted her up, and rushed toward the periphery.
Wei Gong carried the female staff and followed behind Ryuga with Meltélise.
"Wait a moment, Lip, I won't give up."
During the retreat, Meltélise looked back. Although they were separated by the restraints, the two of them looked at each other as if their hearts were connected.
"I will definitely save you, and then together, we will take revenge on that woman!"
"AAAAAAAAA — — —"
In the open space, Parsons Lip let out a low roar, as if he was chasing them away, but also seemed to be full of expectation.
Under the control of the restraints, although she tried to catch up, she could not run fast with her tonnage. The three of them were much faster than her, and soon they disappeared in front of her. She could only return to the passage and wander around aimlessly.
…
Neck area.
After the three of them left the chest area, they quickly returned to the four-way junction.
Tachika Fujimaru, Wei Gong, and Ryuga looked at each other and were a little speechless.
Parsons Lip's strength was somewhat beyond their expectations. In a head-on collision, he was not much weaker than Ryuga. Coupled with the KP ability obtained as a Labyrinth Guardian, he became an existence that even Ryuga could not defeat.
With such an existence guarding there, it was impossible to break into the control room from the front.
"Do we still need to think of another way?"
Tachika Fujimaru sighed and felt a headache coming on. Then, she looked at Meltélise, "Lilith, is there really no way to enter the control room?"
"As far as I know, there is no way."
She glanced at Tachika Fujimaru, and her tone was very certain. Suddenly, she changed the topic, and then a very faint smile appeared on her face.
"However, I have been a Labyrinth Guardian for a long time. Maybe during the time I was abandoned, there were new changes in SE.RA.PH."
Ryuga raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at her silently. She did not expose the smoke bomb in her words.
She used vague answers such as "maybe" and "maybe" to prove that she actually knew that there was no second way to enter the control room in SE.RA.PH.
However, she also had her own ideas in her heart.
And that idea happened to coincide with Ryuga's purpose.
Therefore, Ryuga did not expose her.
"In that case, it's not impossible for a second way to appear?"
Tachika Fujimaru's eyes lit up. Apparently, she believed Meltélise's words, "As long as we continue to explore the surroundings, maybe we can find another way to the control room!"
"And if we want to explore the secrets of SE.RA.PH, we need to search the entire place."
Ryuga also nodded in agreement, "Then the next course of action is to explore SE.RA.PH as much as possible."
