Chapter 279
"..."
Ignoring the system's voice, Luo Mio looked towards her room.
His gaze went straight through the wall to Tina, who was lying on the bed, fast asleep.
Looking at the comfortable and relaxed expression on Tina's face, Luo Mio's lips curled up slightly.
Then he looked at Chizuru Kaseyo and handed her the plastic bag.
Raising her head, Chizuru Kaseyo looked at Luo Mio.
"Is Brother Dongtang going out again?"
Luo Mio nodded.
"I need to go to District 39."
Chizuru Kaseyo was taken aback upon hearing Luo Mio's words.
She knew that on the other side of District 39 were the group of "Cursed Children" that Luo Mio had brought back from outside.
"Could it be that over there...?"
Luo Mio smiled gently at her.
"Don't worry, I've already sent people to clean up the place on Thirty-Nine."
"Now that I'm going there, I'll just be cleaning up the mess."
——
District 39.
Around the sewers.
Human limbs, corpses, and blood clots were scattered everywhere...
The crimson blood flowed like a river, running along the street and onto the grass.
In an instant, the surrounding grass was completely stained red with blood.
Two figures stood beside the manhole cover.
A petite figure holding a small katana in both hands, while beside her stands a tall, slender figure dressed in a tuxedo-like evening gown and wearing a wide, flowing hat.
Chapter 56: Thunder Descends!
Luo Mio took the tram and arrived at the Outer Area.
I glanced at the desolate ruins around me, devoid of any human trace.
After confirming that no one was around, Luo Mio's eyes flickered with ripples.
Then, Luo Mio's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.
Located on the edge of District 39.
Luo Mio walked on the dilapidated street.
Not long after, a strong smell of blood assaulted Luo Mio's senses.
Luo Mio looked ahead.
Upon seeing the scene, which resembled a living hell, Luo Mio frowned slightly.
"Haa..."
Luo Mio sighed softly, looking at the mangled corpse and blood clots as she spoke.
"Looks like I'll have to make them pay attention next time."
After she finished speaking, Luo Mio's eyes flashed with a purple light.
In an instant, countless cracking sounds echoed around Luo Mio, as if the space around her was made of glass.
Cracks began to spread outwards in the space, and soon enough...
"Snap—!"
Countless fragments of spatial walls filled the sky above District 39.
Then, in the blink of an eye, the scenery in front of Luo Mio changed.
All around the manhole cover, the crimson blood, severed limbs, corpses, and pieces of flesh had vanished.
Luo Mio glanced around and then walked to the manhole cover.
Its azure eyes peered through the soil, looking directly down into the sewer.
Because the sewers naturally have a slightly foul odor, the smell of blood from the streets doesn't seep into the sewers; even if it did, it would be masked by the smell of the wastewater.
Similarly, the sounds of fighting above did not reach the ears of the children.
Looking at the unharmed children, Luo Mio's gaze turned to the "megalith" standing not far away in District 43.
"... So many troubles today."
"It seems the 'Five Shoals Association' knows about the lair, Kibito Atsuro Migi Yuuga know the mission failed."
After saying that, Luo Mio walked towards the "giant stone tablet".
"Xia Shi, it's a temporary situation, so it will be a little late when we get back."
"I see."
In the Strategy Meeting Room of the First Area in the Tokyo Area.
"Report!"
"Explain."
"A large number of Gastrea have appeared near the Number 32 megalith in the 40th Outer Area!"
"What?!"
——
In the First Area of Tokyo Area, the door to the security command center of the "Seiju" underground facility was opened.
The pure white-clad girl strode into the conference command room, with only Kiyomi behind her.
The girl looked at the commander with a solemn expression.
"How is the situation?"
The commander saluted the girl.
"Reporting to His Your Highness Holy Child."
"Ten minutes ago, an unspecified number of Gastrea appeared near the megalithic monument Number 32 in district 40."
"Furthermore, according to footage from reconnaissance satellites and drones, the Gastrea were gathered at the very center between the Number 32 and Number 31 megaliths!"
After he finished speaking, a scene appeared on the blue screen in the center of the conference room, showing the original singers and their animals swarming in.
Upon seeing this scene, the girl asked the commander a question.
"What about the suppressive effect of the megaliths?"
"The suppression at the weakest point between the 31st and Number 32 'megaliths' remains effective against the original animal singers."
"But for some reason, the Gastrea still rushed into the inhibition zone like madmen."
It's important to know that most Gastrea are extremely averse to holmium, so they generally avoid the vicinity of the "megalith".
Even if you get close, you will be driven away by the magnetic field emanating from the "megaliths". Even if you break through the weak points between the megaliths, you will be killed by the soldiers on both sides of the megaliths.
Furthermore, only one in ten Gastrea could possibly break through the weak point in the magnetic field between the megaliths.
Therefore, it is basically impossible for Gastrea to break through the monolith.
"However, within those ten minutes, dozens of Gastrea broke through the magnetic field of the megalith, but fortunately they were spotted and killed on the spot by the soldiers."
"But Your Highness Holy Child, if we do this, the soldiers' ammunition will run out sooner or later..."
Upon hearing the commander's words, the Holy Child pondered for a moment.
Just then, Kiyomi's cell phone rang.
Kiyomi quickly took out her phone, but when she saw the caller's name, she was stunned.
"What's wrong, Kiyomi?"
The girl turned to look at Kiyomi.
Kiyomi looked at the girl and then showed her the screen of her phone.
The girl was stunned for a moment when she saw the caller's name.
The caller was her own Luo Mio.
After a moment of silence, the girl took the phone.
After the call is connected.
"Hello."
"Hmm?" Luo Mio asked in confusion at first, then chuckled and said, "I thought it was Miss Kiyomi answering my call. What? You're not angry with me anymore?"
"..."
The girl remained silent for a moment.
However, Kiyomi could see the number on the girl's forehead.
The girl's silence made Luo Mio on the other end of the phone shake her head with amusement.
Then, in a calm and relaxed tone, he said, "Have those Self-Defense Forces personnel retreat to District 39, and leave the rest to me."
"You know...?"
"Hmm, I just happened to see it in District 39."
Upon hearing this, the girl knew why Luo Mio went to District 39, and then replied.
"Okay, I understand."
After a moment of silence, the girl spoke softly and with concern.
"... be safe."
Standing at the intersection of District 39 and District 40, Luo Mio spoke softly after hearing the girl's words.
"Yes, I will be careful."
After saying that, Luo Mio hung up the phone.
The girl raised her eyes, her expression solemn as she addressed the commander in a stern voice.
"Have the Self-Defense Forces on Number 31 32 retreat to District 39!"
"Huh?"
"Hurry up!"
"... yes!"
Although the commander was very puzzled, just a phone call had led the Holy Child to issue such an unbelievable order, ordering the Self-Defense Forces to withdraw to District 39, which was tantamount to abandoning the defense of the Number 31 and Number 32 megaliths.
And this was the first time he had ever heard the Holy Child speak in such a tone.
He picked up the walkie-talkie and relayed the order that the Holy Child had just given him.
——
Luo Mio walked through the forest, her eyes slightly raised as she looked at the Number 31 and Number 32 giant stone tablets to her side.
The crisp gunfire had stopped.
Luo Mio closed her eyes, and instantly an invisible domain of consciousness enveloped the entire surroundings.
In Luo Mio's perception, the Self-Defense Forces had already withdrawn from the megalith and were heading towards District 39.
In front of Luo Mio, the auras of dozens of Gastrea appeared, and outside the magnetic field of the giant stone monument, there were countless Gastrea auras.
Luo Mio slowly opened her eyes and took out "Dao Hui" from the Void Fissures.
