186 Among Us Has a Traitor

Tick tock, tick tock——

The sound of water droplets falling and splashing was extremely clear, echoing in the underground air raid shelter.

Lucite lowered his head and followed the dilapidated team, feeling a trace of doubt and confusion in his heart.

"How did we get here?"

Apparently two hours ago, they were armed to the teeth, walked out of the school with Magic Guidebook and the forbidden book spell, and swept across Implant Equipment Vanguard in high spirits.

However, within just ten minutes, they fled.

Implant Equipment Vanguard are like waves, continuous and flowing. They fall from the sky, climb out of gaps, come from pipes and underground, and are everywhere on the earth, swimming around in lakes and ditches.

They are everywhere.

The first ones to fall were those Tanas Race students - although Enforcement Team members emphasized several times that they would ensure the safety of everyone, in terms of station distribution, the safest core area would never be the turn of Tanas Race students.

Since most of the students of Tanas Race are studying in the Applied Magic Department, when the manpower is insufficient, they will be recruited to fill the gap in the battle. Then Implant Equipment Vanguard will come in like a tide, tearing apart the students who helped fill the gap.

Literally shredded.

In front of all of them, flesh, blood and fat were squeezed out at a speed visible to the naked eye, the intestines were broken, the heart and lungs were cut open, and Implant Equipment Vanguard's tentacles pierced the nostrils and penetrated deep into the brain to read memories and information.

They opened fire and fled in embarrassment, using various magic bombs to clear the area. Their confident firepower reserves were like fragile cardboard in front of the endless waves of monsters, shattering at a touch.

Confident, calm, overwhelmed, embarrassed, exhausted, defeated.

Until now, they have turned to underground air defense facilities and fled like bereaved dogs.

Lucite looked at the team.

Before departure, they had a mighty 54 people.

Now, including Enforcement Team, there are only 7 people left.

Senior Enforcement Team, who had a good relationship with Hobbes before, was beheaded by Implant Equipment Vanguard, and Lucite didn't even know his name.

The only remaining people include three Enforcement Team members: captain Mordot, adjutant Sylvia and second-year Delta-rank student Kurt.

Then, there were him, Hobbes, and two distinguished alien kings: Solis James II of Zuzhan Royal Court, and Maria Xuanyin, the daughter of the president of Ville Republic.

The status of these two people is very noble, and they are both heirs to the master of a country. In order to save them, Enforcement Team members paid the lives of seven people, in exchange for which they were unscathed and still maintained their grace.

Why is this happening?

Lucite recalled the battles along the way. They were very careful to avoid all kinds of routes, but for some reason, those Implant Equipment Vanguard would appear at just the right time, appearing when they were resting, and would stop them again not long after they escaped from the surprise attack.

Attacking one after another, their magic power was quickly exhausted, and Magic Scroll quickly squandered it all.

"Old road..."

Hobbes wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and the ring on his finger seemed to continue to fade. He raised his hand and put it on Lucite's shoulder, pretending to have sprained his foot, but actually whispered in his ear:

"Don't you think it's strange?"

"There are some..."

Lucite nodded.

"The appearance of those Implant Equipment Vanguard is so coincidental, as if they completely understand our route forward."

Hobbes closed one eye, and his voice was very low, but he was still heard by the people next to him.

"You really think so too!"

The prince of Zuzhan Royal Court, James II suddenly said loudly:

"Everywhere along the way has been attacked. With such obvious offensive intentions, it is obvious that our intelligence has been leaked!"

'Tsk! This guy must be mentally retarded! '

Hobbes cursed secretly.

Wouldn't it be nice if you knew this kind of thing? Why do you have to say it?

Snap.

The marching team suddenly stopped.

Obviously, James II's sudden statement immediately attracted people's attention.

"Classmate James, what do you mean?" Sylvia frowned. "Implant Equipment Vanguard are like a tide. Who knows how many troops Zangyue has deployed. We can't control what they are like now."

"Really? Why do I feel that this route is wrong from the beginning?"

James II sneered:

"For a fifty-kilometer journey, if you take the subway the whole way, the only enemies you have to face are the front and the rear. But you guys have to walk on the ground. Isn't this a deliberate attempt to expose your whereabouts?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Another Enforcement Team member Kurt said angrily, "If you don't go on the ground, how can you chew on the railway and drink engine oil to satisfy your hunger? Our team started with fifty or sixty people. Do you really think that little food is enough for so many of us? We also have to face the exhaustion of the battle. If there are wounded, we need medicine. No matter how we look at it, going on the ground is the right choice, right?"

"You won't die if you starve for two days. If you go underground earlier, you won't have such serious losses."

"That's easy to say. Do you know how exhausting fighting is? You, the second generation of hereditary bureaucrats, are five things that don't touch Yangchun Shui. Since I can't send you to fight, you can naturally force me from behind!"

"Stop arguing!" Sylvia just felt a headache. "We have already reached this point, why are we still fighting among ourselves?"

Kurt felt aggrieved and immediately pointed at James II and said:

"It's this second-generation official who insists on provoking a dispute and questioning our plan based on one-sided words."

"Oh, first of all, your plan is not foolproof, and it is precisely because of your plan that we suffered heavy losses in personnel. Especially the loss of the effective Combat Power."

As soon as these words came out, Kurt couldn't hold back his emotions immediately. He stepped forward, raised his iron fist and was about to hit the opponent. "Damn it, do you know how many people have sacrificed for you?"

"Kurt!" Sylvia quickly stopped the person. "He is a foreigner, you can't do this!"

"I also agree with His Highness James II." Maria, who had been watching from the side, hesitated for a moment and chose to side with James II.

"Oh, my ancestors, I didn't ask them. This is the responsibility you must bear as the host."

James II said calmly and sarcastically:

"Secondly, this is not something that belongs to my family."

As he spoke, his eyes naturally fell on Lucite and Hobbes.

"... You two." Sylvia narrowed his eyes.

There is nothing they can do about foreign dignitaries, but for a Armored Species pariah and a Tanas Race student with no background to dare to say this, it is a bit shameless.

Sylvia glanced at the silent captain Mordot.

It seemed that the captain was not happy either. He was the one who fought through obstacles along the way, and was the first to step forward when he encountered an enemy. He paid so much, but was questioned instead.

No matter who it is, it's uncomfortable.

These white-eyed wolves...

Sylvia's eyes suddenly became sharp when he looked at the two of them.

"I didn't say anything." Hobbes surrendered immediately.

However, Sylvia did not intend to let him go. She walked forward and looked at Hobbes: "Hey, your name is Hobbes, right?"

Hobbes grinned. "Haha, I don't know who Hobbes is -"

Bang! Sylvia grabbed his collar and pulled him up.

"Hobbes! Hey, what are you doing-"

"Shut up!" Sylvia didn't even look at Lucite, his eyes biting Hobbes like a poisonous snake. "You seem to have objections to Captain Mordot's decision?"

"Ahem - I, I didn't say that..."

Hobbes's face turned purple. The other party shocked him with magic power, causing his muscles to spasm instantly. His teeth chattered and he spoke vaguely.

"The team's orders are all issued by captain Mordot. If you question the team, you are questioning senior Mordot. If you have trouble with Mordot, you are causing trouble for me, Sylvia! Do you understand?!"

"I... I made it very clear that it was the suspected leak of intelligence that led to such a coincidental attack..."

"Really?" Sylvia said coldly, "You mean, one of us betrayed the information?"

"That's it -" Hobbes Before he could finish his words, a shadow instantly fell on his face.

Bang! In an instant, Hobbes's figure immediately fell against the wall, his face burst into burning pain, and his nose, tears and blood overflowed.

"Hobbes!"

Lucite was shocked and furious, and he immediately stared at Sylvia: "Hey, what are you doing like this? A member of the dignified Enforcement Team is beating a student?"

"This is not a fight in the name of Enforcement Team." Sylvia said indifferently, "It is a fight in the name of me, Sylvia. No matter who it is, no one can slander the reputation of senior Mordot."

"How can you be so unreasonable?"

"Hey, that one on the ground!" Sylvia completely ignored Lucite: "Get up, either apologize to senior Mordot, or I'll hit you and apologize."

"Don't you think it's too much?"

Lucite said in a deep voice:

"Are the weapons and equipment given to you by the school, as well as your law enforcement powers, meant for you to bully students?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a bolt-action magic rifle stopped in his chest.

"Have you forgotten that the school has no control over us now?"

Sylvia glanced sideways at Lucite and placed his finger lightly on the trigger:

"Times have changed. Whoever has the bigger fist has the right. What? Are you dissatisfied?"

Lucite's body froze, and suddenly, he noticed that Hobbes was speaking to him: 'Lu·west·te, forbidden book...'

Lucite nodded, took two steps back, and left Sylvia. He quietly retreated into the shadows, reached into his backpack with his backhand, and after groping for a while, he found the forbidden book.

"Suleda Curse Technique Notes"

Magic Civilization's books are not only information carriers, but also weapons and equipment. A wizard who is proficient in spells can completely draw the power of words, arrange and combine them, and cast magic. The power depends entirely on the quality of the magic book and the level of the recorded spells.

Although the requirements are high, it is not difficult for Lucite, who is a top student.

Hobbes curled up and groaned in pain. Sylvia slowly walked up to him, raised his foot and kicked him over.

Bang! "Get up and kneel down to Senior Mordot." Sylvia said, raising the muzzle of the gun: "Otherwise——"

Dang rang rang.

The ground suddenly began to shake violently, shaking off dust, and cracks appeared in the wall, and water began to seep out.

Bang bang!

The pipe cracked and water spewed out. After a while, water came out in all directions.

"What's going on? Earthquake!"

"Quickly move! This place is going to collapse!"

The sudden vibration instantly attracted everyone's attention, and there was no time to lecture Hobbes. Sylvia and others quickly ran along the corridor of the air-raid shelter.

"Lao Huo! Let's go!" Lucite grabbed his brother, threw him behind his back, and sprinted forward like crazy.

Rumble, rumble, rumble...

The ground shook violently, and even the air-raid shelter seemed extremely fragile in the face of this natural force. The fortifications quickly disintegrated and collapsed, and groundwater poured into it. Soon it was waist-deep. They had to carefully avoid Dimensional Barrier and did not dare to walk too fast. They ran back and forth from left to right along the way, and were blocked by collapsed walls from time to time.

After running away for more than ten minutes, Sylvia kicked open the hydraulic door, and a group of people filed out. The moonlight fell on their wet bodies. They finally broke out of the ground and were not buried alive inside.

"Huh... huh..."

Sylvia knelt down on one knee, cursed and took off the heavy armor that was soaked in water, revealing her beautiful curves. Unfortunately, the person who had just escaped was not in the mood to appreciate it.

She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. More than ten tons of concrete had just collapsed. Thanks to the armor that protected most of the damage, she was fine, but her lungs were bruised and bruised.

"Damn... how could this happen?"

The earthquake came just as it was said, and its intensity was very high, at least 8.7 magnitude.

She glanced left and right - Kurt was gone.

What a coincidence.

It was as if the earthquake came specifically to rescue that boy Hobbes.

She turned around, calmed down, and walked towards Hobbes, who was lingering on the ground like a dead dog.

"What are you doing? What are you going to do again!?"

Lucite stepped forward, stopped in front of her, and said unceremoniously.

Sylvia pushed him and said coldly:

"This earthquake is such a coincidence. It was entirely done to save him. I suspect that you have hidden a forbidden magic book. Let me check it."

Lucite was speechless. "Your reason is so nonsense! You said yes, so why didn't you say that Night Butterfly People and Tanas Race are actually the same ancestor?"

"Shut up! Get out of my way!"

"Don't touch my brother."

"Fuck you!"

Sylvia instantly picked up the butt of the gun and hit Lucite hard.

clang! Lucite stood still and caught the blow firmly with his chest. On the contrary, it was Sylvia. The hard armor caused severe pain in her mouth and numbness in her palms.

"You——" Sylvia raised his head angrily, only to see Lucite standing firmly on the spot with a gloomy expression.

"I said it."

Lucite's figure gradually swelled, and the thorns on his back rapidly extended exaggeratedly, becoming extremely sharp. His height quickly increased, and his outer armor became heavier and thicker. A layer of bone plates grew from both sides of his cheeks, completely covering his face, like a skull mask, which was eerie and terrifying.

Sylvia, who had taken off the magic Power Armor and was holding a rifle, looked like a stunted child in front of Lucite, holding a toothpick and trying to challenge a wall.

"Don't touch my brother."

Lucite's deep roar implies infrasound waves. The powerful energy causes the resonance of the heart, making people feel uncomfortable all over.

Sylvia narrowed her eyes, and the splatters of rapidly growing and torn flesh were picked up by the wind and slapped on her face. She raised her hand, gently brushed off the dirt, and said in disgust, "You disgusting scavenger..."

Click.

She lowered the muzzle of the gun, pulled the bolt by gravity, then turned the muzzle and pointed it at Lucite: "I almost forgot that you also questioned Mordot with him. In this case, I have to teach you two a lesson -"

Her face was ferocious and twisted, and she immediately pulled the trigger.

Bang! The defensive runes lit up behind Sylvia's head, and he was hit by a blood compression bullet in an instant. His body was thrown to the ground by the heavy kinetic energy, and he fell in front of Lucite's toes.

"Uh... uh..."

Sylvia's body twitched and convulsed, and he turned his head in disbelief and looked at the shooter. "Why, why... this can't be—"

Gujiguji!

The flesh and blood squirmed rapidly, and a large amount of blood rain sprayed out, sweeping Sylvia into a sieve on the spot. Her body stopped shaking, and gradually degraded and dissolved under the erosion of the blood of the reproductive suit, leaving only a miserable skeleton.

Fu...

The cold wind swept across the earth and pushed the skull to James II's feet. There was a surge in his throat, and panic flashed in his eyes. Then he smiled awkwardly and looked ahead pretending to be calm, "Ah ha ha, ha ha... I knew you were hiding it all this time."

"First, he stayed in the school and collected magic books everywhere. In fact, it was to enrich his own pockets."

"Then you deliberately walked on the ground and used Implant Equipment Vanguard to consume most of the manpower. In addition, you have been revealing intelligence and guiding the colonial equipment to attack at critical moments. It hit our effective forces just right and allowed us to consume all Magic Scroll."

"Then you allowed Sylvia and Kurt to quarrel with us. It's a pity that the earthquake just now ruined your plan. Otherwise, we would have died directly underground."

"Now, Sylvia, who was armed with heavy weapons, has also been killed by you, and Kurt also died underground. You can attack us unscrupulously."

"Am I right?"

He pretended to be calm and looked at the man whose arms turned into colonial firearms. "Captain Mordot."

"I heard that three years ago, Zangetsu invaded White Candle Star Interstellar University with the help of Neiying. Coincidentally, there were so many victims at that time, and everyone in Enforcement Team was dead - only you were safe and sound."

"You are Zangyue's internal agent, right?"

"Everything you did should not be just to eliminate the witnesses - me and Maria. It has a more important purpose for you, right?"

Modote Huseel raised his head and looked at him with interest, as if expecting him to continue speaking.

Lucite took a few steps back, protecting Hobbes's figure, and looked at Mordot in front of him indifferently. His peripheral vision swept around and found that the woman - Maria Xuanyin had a particularly calm face, as if she had expected something.

"Maria and I are one of the most distinguished foreign students in this school. Even Zangyue does not dare to offend the national strength behind us."

James II said with a smile:

"It's just that we didn't expect that even you are Implant Equipment Vanguard... But this is normal. Aoneng people of the [Dominator] system are always good at lurking around others. Let me guess - your purpose is to hold Maria and me as hostages, to demand ransom, or to achieve political goals, right?"

He glanced meaningfully at Lucite and Hobbes:

"In that case, next, you should take action against these two assholes."

"I know your thoughts very well. No problem. I will definitely cooperate. I have discussed it with Maria. No matter what you and your master want, we are willing to cooperate with you to achieve your requirements. As long as you treat us kindly, the country behind us will never treat you badly."

"Is my analysis correct? Captain Mordot? Or is it Zan Yue's elite subordinates?"

Snap, snap, snap.

Mordot clapped his hands, seeming to agree.

"It seems that I was right."

"Not entirely, Your Highness."

Mordot said with a smile, "Actually, you are only wrong about one thing."

James II was confused, but seeing that the other party did not deny his analysis, he was slightly relieved. "May I ask Mr. Mordot, which point in my analysis do you think is wrong?"

"There's just one thing. Guess why Sylvia is so obsessed with me?"

Mordot smiled:

"I'm not Zangetsu's subordinate."

His figure quickly collapsed and surged, his skin became dark, and his facial features that could only be regarded as majestic suddenly became extremely delicate and handsome. Mordot's body became like a marble sculpture, with every inch of his body achieving the golden ratio, and his whole body was filled with a supreme charm that made people crazy and obsessed.

His pale short hair was blowing in the wind, and Mordot's black and red eyes narrowed slightly. The magic armor on his body instantly fell off, leaving only a pair of trousers on his body. He folded his arms, revealing his beautiful muscles, and a blue tattoo quickly flowed on his back.

His aura instantly rose to Zeta-rank, and the energy in his body was as hot and dazzling as the sun. He was like a god on the ground that made people afraid to look directly at him. They just wanted to bow their heads and kneel down, praying for mercy.

"Out of politeness, let me introduce myself: My name is Mordoctor Husserl."

"That name means 'psychiatrist' where I'm from. Oh, what a pity. I don't really like studying."

"You can call me by my nickname - Zangyue."
