"What do you plan to do?"
In a quiet room in Celine's family, Garon and Celine sat opposite each other, casually eating the venison and other snacks placed in front of them.
"I killed one of your patrol members. It's not easy to report to the higher-ups, right?" Celine looked at Garon in front of her lazily.
"Indoro died in the line of duty. He fought bravely in the face of the terrorists, but he still died to protect me," Garon answered casually.
"Do you think the higher-ups will believe that?" Celine pouted.
"So what if they believe it? So what if they don't believe it? " Garon didn't care, "No matter what, we paid a heavy price on the battlefield. One of my team members died in the line of duty, another's Mech was destroyed, and I was seriously injured. In the end, we still killed the terrorists of Red-White Light. This result is already strong enough. Moreover, most people don't know about the Forbidden Mech. What outsiders see is only a group of terrorists fighting with the patrol team. "
"Are you planning to bluff your way out?" Celine asked in disbelief.
"What do you mean by bluff?" Garen raised his eyebrows and took a sip of the wine-red fruit juice. "I've shown my potential and defeated a Level Five Red-White Mech. Even if the opponent was in a heavily injured state, it wasn't something that an ordinary person could defeat. Moreover, when I killed that troublesome kid, didn't your people take care of the surroundings? "
"This reason can't fool the higher-ups. It's fine for a short period of time, but after a long time, it's inevitable that there will be leaks. After all, I mobilized so many people at that time. I can't guarantee that there won't be any leaks." Celine glanced at Garon and felt that this guy was really ruthless. In the blink of an eye, he killed a team member who was working with him just now. He was totally different from an ordinary student. This guy was definitely the type who didn't care about anything once he got angry.
"Don't worry," Garon smiled. "The point is that I won by a narrow margin. The Forbidden Core ran away and is not in my hands. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the Forbidden Core. That Mech of White Light must have a technical instrument that can track the Forbidden Core. As long as there is that thing, it's good enough that the higher-ups don't give me a big credit. "
"That's true." Cillin hadn't thought of this at the moment. "With that tracking device, once the technology is cracked and we can sense the location of the forbidden core, then you will be cleared of suspicion immediately. This buffer period is the most dangerous. However, with your current status, Britney and a large group of us, as well as your relationship with that fellow from the Polar Region, the higher-ups won't kill you without any scruples. "
She finally heaved a sigh of relief.
"Since you know this, isn't it the same whether you let go of the core or not? Once the Red-White Mech's tracking method is obtained by the higher-ups, they would be able to mobilize the entire Blackboard Region's powerful forces. It wouldn't be too difficult to find those people, "Celine was confused again.
"So what? If they can't even solve such a small test, then it's better for them to die, "Garon said indifferently.
"You're really …" Celine felt helpless. "Forget it, forget it. These things are giving me a headache. Let's go! Let's fight! "She stood up." If you make me worry again next time, I'll beat you up!! "She raised her fist and said fiercely.
"It's okay. You can't beat me anyway," Garon drank his drink slowly without changing his expression. He looked as if he was asking for a beating.
"You …!"

Warehouse District
At the battlefield where Garon and Red-White were fighting, a man and a woman holding a cyborg instrument came to this area. This area was already sealed off by circles of guards. The police car's siren kept flashing, illuminating everyone's expression.
The two of them lifted the sealing cloth and came to the temporary barrier. They reached out their hands and tapped on the transparent air barrier.
'Beep … Special Investigator identity verification complete. Please come in.'
A pleasant female voice sounded out of nowhere.
The guards inside immediately looked over. Some of the people who had just gathered to watch the show also looked over.
"Special Investigator?"
Among the crowd, a middle-aged man with a full beard pulled down the hat on his head and looked over through the gap in the line of sight.
"Even the Special Investigator is here for the terrorist attack this time. I heard that the government will only send this kind of official to personally investigate when there's a very serious situation," a person said softly.
"What happened here? Why is there such a big commotion? Most of the warehouse district is probably sealed off?"
"I heard that it was a fierce battle between the terrorists and the patrol team. In the end, the patrol team won a pyrrhic victory. However, three of their Mechs were destroyed and one of them died in the line of duty. He's a student from the academy."
An uncle laughed coldly. "I think there's something fishy going on this time. It's not like this has never happened before. However, ever since the assassination of the general over there, there's been some chaos everywhere."
"What chaos?"
The man with a full beard quickly asked. He pretended to be a passerby. "Are you talking about the assassination of one of the three generals of the Blackboard Academy's Black Rain??"
"Exactly. The pulse wave incident has been spread around for a long time. Now that the murderer has not been caught, he's wanted everywhere. The higher-ups have tried to suppress it several times but they still couldn't suppress it. Now, there's a rumor going around that the Mech Pilots of the White Light Organization have already infiltrated the region to commit crimes." The uncle continued to laugh coldly. "At first, I thought that the Blackboard Region would be safer so I migrated here. I didn't expect …" He shook his head.
The man with a full beard was deep in thought. He stood in the crowd and listened to their idle chatter for a while before he quietly walked out of the crowd. He picked up his Watch Terminal and dialed a number. He reported the news that he had just heard.
In the alley.
Two Special Investigators were already squatting in the center of the battlefield and carefully inspecting the area.
"There are traces of a strong Willpower Field. It's very obvious. It's a Level Five Energy Field," the male Special Investigator said softly. "It should be the Mech from the White Light Organization mentioned in the report. What did you find over there? "
The female Special Investigator frowned. She reached out and touched a white spot on the wall with her finger. Her blue pupils suddenly rotated. It was as if the center of her eyeball was twisting and turning violently. It was abnormally terrifying. This scene only lasted for a moment before it returned to normal.
"There's actually residual Cold Radiation here … Although someone purposely removed it, I can still feel the faint remnants of radiation."
"Cold Radiation? Is it a Freeze Bomb? "The man whispered.
"I'm afraid not … According to the report, this is the place where the Blackboard Elite Captain and the terrorist fought. It should be a secret weapon that one of them had." The woman shook her head.
"Sir, we found this! Please come and take a look! "The small bearded Captain of the Garrison shouted as he walked over.
The two of them walked over and saw that the Captain was wearing a pair of Traceless Gloves. He was holding a small and exquisite white stone sculpture in his hand. It looked like a squatting human figure, but it also looked like it was sitting cross-legged. Its face and clothes were blurry. It even looked like a naturally formed stone. The reason why it was exquisite was because the back of the stone had delicate and complicated circular patterns. It looked like circles of overlapping magic circles.
"What is this thing?"
"We found it on the White Light Terrorist. After a violent explosion, there was actually something left behind. Our experts couldn't detect the material of this thing. " The Chief of Police walked over from the side. This guy had a strong body and was an expert pilot. He had always been known for his sharp eyes.
"This is …" The female Special Investigator picked up the thing and observed it carefully. "This is a very old-fashioned tracker …"
"Could it be …?" The male Special Investigator seemed to have thought of something.
At the same time, the female Special Investigator also thought of something. The two of them looked at each other in shock.
"Report it immediately!"
"What about the remnants of radiation?"
"Don't worry about him. The important thing is whether this thing is really what we think it is!"
*****
In the sewer.
It was cold, dark, and smelly.
Two black Mechs that were pieced together slowly moved forward one after the other.
Kling's injuries had been treated by Baylon with her Willpower. Although it wasn't completely healed, at least the injuries were stabilized and no longer worsened. It was slowly getting better.
The two of them stopped for a while before continuing to move forward in the sewer. They made random turns and followed the underground river. The traces they left behind were quickly washed away by the underground water.
Time passed by slowly.
Unknowingly, they had traveled for a long time. The two of them finally felt safer. They came to a space between the sewer pipes that Red Moon had arranged beforehand. The entrance was narrow, but the space was just enough to accommodate the two Mechs.
"Phew …" Kling opened the door and walked out of the cabin. He was covered in filth and almost fell down. Fortunately, Baylon didn't mind the filth and supported him.
"You're badly injured. Don't move around!!" Baylon felt slightly better when she saw Kling's injuries. Her Willpower could form a beneficial life force field to replenish the life force that Kling had lost. At the same time, it would form an absolute isolation layer on his body to prevent him from being contaminated by viruses.
"Lonnie … How did you know that was your brother?" Kling forced a smile. Compared to this pain, Red Moon's daily 'training' … Ah no, the training sessions were much more painful. This was the real reason why he could endure the pain for so long.
"Master Red Moon told me." Baylon replied. She found a grooved metal block and carried it out to fetch water for him. Although the underground water was dirty, it could still be used to wash his body after being filtered by the Mech's filtration system.
"Master Red Moon told you? What's going on? " Kling was basically unable to move. Once he relaxed, his head started to feel dizzy. In his current state, even if he were to encounter the same tense and dangerous situation as before, he could only lie down and wait for death. Once his body relaxed, his biggest breath was released and he entered the recovery dormant mechanism.
This was the same logic as falling asleep after excessive exercise. However, Kling, who was afraid that he would never wake up if he fell asleep, still tried his best to stay awake and keep looking for topics to talk about. He had watched a lot of blockbuster movies where people died the moment they fell asleep. It was almost traumatizing.
"He asked me to come over quickly. He said that you were in danger and that it was my brother … My brother …" Baylon looked at Kling's broken left thumb and left thigh that was almost cut off. Although the scars had closed up a little, the bright red color still looked very scary. She suddenly felt guilty.
"I'm sorry, Kling. It's my fault. I just wanted to go back and see my parents, brother and sister. I didn't expect … I didn't expect something like this to happen …" She could not help but cry again.
"Don't blame your brother. I believe that he must have his own difficulties." Kling tried his best to put on a nonchalant expression as he ran his fingers through his hair. "I'm a lucky person. Good people have good karma. See, I didn't die in the end, did I? If your brother didn't make a mistake at the last moment, I would have been killed. "
He did not know that it was not Garon who made a mistake at the last moment, but Red Moon who made a mistake at the risk of his life. Red Moon didn't say anything either, so this guy assumed that Garen had pulled back at the last moment to spare his life.
"But your finger …" Baylon wiped away her tears. Her eyes were red.
"Didn't Master Red Moon say that I would be fine? Don't worry. This time, it's not just you. I went back to see my sister and the others. Don't feel guilty. I didn't sacrifice myself. I'm not dead yet. "Kling comforted her clumsily.
"Did Master Red Moon say that?" Baylon continued to wipe away her tears hesitantly.
"Yes. Although I don't know why, he must have his reasons." Kling nodded. "Your brother is actually a good person. It's just that he looks cold on the surface. In fact, he's cold on the outside but warm on the inside! Trust me, my experience in judging people has never been wrong! "He grinned, revealing his white teeth.
"You really don't blame him?"
"Yes, I really don't."
Baylon hesitated for a moment and bit her lips.
"Then … Can I send some of my things to him? Now that I've become like this, no one should know that other than you, there's also me … "
Kling suddenly felt helpless. The wind had changed too quickly.
