Partial Indestructible Diamond
In the deep mine tunnels.
Although I only heard one sentence from the person who came.
But the members of "Old Days Daisy" subconsciously believed what the other party said.
Roger quickly seized the opportunity and tried to infiltrate the group.
As he recounted his half-true, half-false experiences, he carefully observed the group of people.
This squad consisted entirely of burly men.
There are six of them in total.
But not far behind them, followed a middle-aged man with a cold and arrogant expression.
When Roger was talking to the people of the Old Days Daisy.
The middle-aged man scrutinized him with a hawk-like gaze.
It seemed they wanted to see right through him! This gaze made Roger very uncomfortable.
He couldn't help but glance at the middle-aged man a few more times out of the corner of his eye, and soon he noticed the symmetrical badge on the man's shoulder.
"They're from the City Lord Guard..."
Roger felt a chill run down his spine.
He stopped looking around and focused on recounting his story of accidentally getting separated from his teammates.
He speaks very quickly.
But under the influence of "deception".
The Daisy Six believed him without a doubt.
After saying that.
The leader nodded and said:
"In that case, once we've completed the task on this floor, I'll have one of my team members take you to the next floor..."
"Etc!"
He hadn't finished speaking.
The middle-aged man suddenly spoke up:
"Come here."
He looked at Roger.
The Daisy Six immediately fell silent.
It seems this middle-aged man is their true leader!
Roger wasn't in a hurry.
He walked slowly toward the middle-aged man, but before he had taken two steps, a rumbling sound finally came from the mist behind him!
The Evil Ghost Sentry he'd angered have attacked! "What is that!?"
Daisy, the strong men said warily.
Roger immediately shouted loudly:
"It's a sentry!"
"They've lost control; they've been slaughtering laborers..."
Before he could finish speaking...
Three sentries charged out of the mist, their twin blades swirling like spiraling blades towards the group! Roger nimbly dodged them.
He was still thinking about how to handle his relationship with the daisies.
As Third Party, he cannot be suspected in any way, otherwise he may very well end up with nothing.
The next second.
The sentry army surged out of the underground mine tunnels in a spectacular display.
But strangely enough...
The Daisy Squad members merely took a few steps back, showing no intention of running away! Roger's heart stirred.
The next moment.
His gaze fell on the middle-aged man.
But then the latter took out a glass bead-like object from his bulging pouch.
Then crush it forcefully.
A ring of pale purple light burst forth from the 'glass bead'.
Rings of purple light collided head-on with the "Evil Ghost Sentry," and a miraculous scene unfolded—
All the sentries touched by the purple light froze in place, completely motionless!...
"Insight: You have noticed that the Evil Ghost Sentry have lost their ability to move."
"Damn it!"
"Is this some kind of EMP?!"
Roger was extremely envious!
In the blink of an eye.
The underground mine tunnels fell silent.
Except for a few sentries who fell to the ground due to inertia from rushing too fast, the rest of the sentries stood quietly in place.
"Algorithm initialization in progress..."
"Algorithm initialization in progress..."
The low voices came from the sentries' bodies.
But they seem to be stuck in an infinite loop of initialization, or they've simply crashed.
Roger stared at it for a long time.
I haven't seen any Sentinel successfully initialized.
"Come here."
The middle-aged man calmly resolved the sentry crisis and once again addressed Roger in that condescending tone.
Roger pretended to be nervous and walked over.
"You said you're a member of the Iris Squad and just got separated from your teammates, is that right?"
The middle-aged man questioned the prisoner in a scrutinizing tone.
Roger frowned slightly.
On the data panel.
"Insight: Your 'bluff' is working..."
"Sixth Sense: You sense that ' Noto, ' a member of the City Lord Guard, harbors extremely strong malice towards you."
"The bluff was clearly effective, so why is there still malicious intent?"
Roger was a little puzzled.
He glanced at the Daisy Six and noticed a hint of pity in their eyes as they looked at him.
Daisy hesitated for a moment, then took half a step forward and said respectfully, "Lord Noto..."
"You guys go down to the next floor first."
"I have something to say to this newcomer."
Noto said coldly.
Daisy, the leader, sighed softly and silently led the other five away.
Only Roger and Noto remained.
The latter repeated what he had just said.
"Yes, I swear I didn't lie."
Roger's tone was aggrieved and angry. "I was just being chased by the Sentinels, what need do I have to..."
Speaking of which...
His voice suddenly stopped.
Because Noto now had a pistol! He pressed the gun against Roger's forehead and said calmly, "I know you're not lying, but I can't let my wife bear the stigma of abandoning her comrade—"
"Moreover, we are on a secret mission and cannot take any risks."
"So... you have to sacrifice yourself, just like she did in the report."
Bang! A loud gunshot rang out in the mine tunnel.
The echo lingered in the tunnel for a long time.
The Daisy Six, who hadn't gone far, all shook their heads silently upon hearing the gunshot.
"That's too much..."
Someone gritted their teeth and muttered under their breath:
"Does the City Lord Guard have the right to kill people at will?"
Someone next to him nudged him.
The group of six followed the tracks on the ground and found the Safe Zone.
After confirming that the workers were safe and sound, they went to the next floor to wait.
Who knew that this wait would last for most of the day?
When the daisy people realized something was wrong and rushed back.
The mine tunnels on the 27th level were completely empty.
Not only Noto, but the newcomer was nowhere to be found.
Even the sentries that were supposed to be everywhere have vanished! "What happened?"
In the mist.
The burly men all felt a chill run down their spines.
After a while.
Only a careful observer discovered a crooked signature in a corner!
"This... this is Jackalmen script!"
Fortunately, there was Jackalmen language.
The man immediately began translating in a dry, laborious manner:...
"The Jackalmen Big Ding, killed the enemy here, capturing two enemy generals and 233 sentries..."
"Da Ding?"
"Is it the king of the Underground Jackal People?"
How did he bypass the "Earth's Core Early Warning Aircraft"?
The Daisy Squad was completely dumbfounded.
Noto died.
Their secret mission has failed miserably! What should they do next...?
Everyone was confused.
"We must report this matter to the city lord immediately!"
Daisy, the leader, gritted her teeth and said, "This is too bizarre. I don't believe that Da Ding could bypass the early warning aircraft and reach such a high platform, and I don't believe that a Jackalmen could kill Lord Noto..."
The result came at this moment.
The member who discovered 'Da Ding's message' spoke up again:
"Boss, there are signs of a large-scale military march here!"
Everyone crowded around to take a look.
There were indeed countless footprints in the underground mine tunnel where that person was!
Judging from the size of the footprints.
They are indeed Jackalmen...
"Walk!"
Daisy's leader made a decisive decision:
"Let's go back to the 20th floor first!"
"Report to the City Lord!"
"If it really was Da Ding who made the move, then this is beyond our control!"
As they were talking.
The group rushed towards the upper level.
Let's go back to the moment the gunshot rang out.
The moment Noto's finger pulled the trigger.
Roger, who had intended to dodge, suddenly stood still.
After the intense gunfire.
His hair was slightly crooked.
I have a little more dandruff.
And that was it.
The next moment.
Roger glanced at the data panel.
"Hint: You have activated ' Defense as Offense '."
"Your Base Defense Value has reached 60 points."
"Notification: Iron Head Skill is in effect..."
Hint: Noto's bullet failed to pierce your scalp.
"Having withstood a firearm overhead without injury, you've achieved a new milestone: Partial Vajra Body."
"Partial Vajra Body: Don't get cocky, you're only Partial Vajra Body; your anus isn't indestructible yet."
"Corresponding title: Iron Head Kid (You've mastered the advanced skill of cracking walnuts with your head)"
"Is it true that... you can only crack walnuts, and can't you crack other things?"
Roger was still internally complaining.
Noto, standing in front of him, wore a look of utter disbelief and instinctively began frantically pulling the trigger—
Bang! Bang! Bang! Four shots hit Roger in the forehead in quick succession.
Under the relentless onslaught of bullets.
Roger's once flawless skin finally turned slightly red! "You..."
The words "What kind of monster is it?" had not yet come out of Noto's mouth.
A tsunami-like pain swept through his mind—
Roger, having switched off his "Defense as Offense" stance, delivered a skillful Groin Kick to his crotch! This was immediately followed by an even more ferocious Knee Strike!
Noto's body suddenly shrank into a shrimp-like shape.
He involuntarily knelt on the ground.
Roger snatched the pistol from him and pointed it at Noto's forehead.
With a "bang".
It easily took his life.
"You killed Noto (Titan Technician /Human/Elite)"
"Extermination Order reward successfully obtained. You have acquired the specialty from Noto - Titan Pilot."
"Titan Pilot: You have acquired a certain level of Titan piloting ability."
"Another post-production specialty."
Looking at Noto's unseeing eyes in death.
Roger also silently shook his head.
The "Titan Technician" class is not good at combat to begin with, so who knows what he was thinking that dared to challenge me to a one-on-one fight.
"How could someone like that get into the City Lord Guard?"
"Did Turing select members of the City Lord Guard based on their honesty?"
Roger was internally ranting and raving.
However, from Noto's perspective...
He probably didn't think things were that complicated.
After all, he used firearms to launch a surprise attack and successfully gained the upper hand.
It's a pity.
Roger's head is too hard.
This type of weapon is on par with Silent Justice; a single bullet will not deal more than 50 damage.
They couldn't break through Roger's defenses at all!
At present.
Looking at Noto's corpse and the sentries scattered all over the ground.
Roger looked thoughtful.
"This guy was someone of importance; his death will definitely cause endless trouble..."
"We need to find a brother who can take the blame!"
Looking at the Jackalmen faction as a whole.
It seems that only the legendary King Big Ding has any real weight.
This thought came to mind.
Roger couldn't help but take out the Divine Art Badge.
Then I messaged Cecilia privately.
"Bard (the Queen's Right Hand): I've made a breakthrough in my investigation of Drovas's secrets, and we're now at a very crucial moment! But I need some supplies from the Church, the types and quantities of which are as follows—"
"Jackalmen Language Comprehension Scroll *99"
"Underground Jackalmen Transformation Scroll *99"
"Special Jackalmen Transformation Scroll *69"
"Sentry Transformation Scroll *99"
"328 potions or scrolls that can replenish either stamina or energy"
"388 potions or scrolls that can increase any attribute"
A moment later.
A sound came from the Divine Art Badge.
Cecilia: Okay, but before that, can I verify what you mean by 'breakthrough'? (smiling face)
