Underground riverbank.
Nearby the Artifact Repository.
The trickle of the river water only seemed to make the area more silent.
This rare moment of tranquility was disrupted by the roar of an engine echoing in the underground tunnel.
A steam locomotive arrived from the surface, coming to a halt amidst short bursts of brakes.
Four men and a woman alighted from the locomotive. With a slam of the car door, they grabbed their guns, shouldered their combat gear, and arrived by the underground river via the tunnel.
About half an hour earlier, Kasha had evacuated this area with the bulk of the troops, escorting the ancient artifacts to the surface.
Half an hour later, she returned to the same spot, followed by four elite fighters.
Returning to familiar ground, a faint smile played at the corners of her mouth.
This had nothing to do with her soon becoming the guide for the fortress garrison. It was because she could finally return to the fortress, go to the third underground level of the castle, and confirm whether Sin Soldier No. 888 was still alive or not.
If Sin Soldier No. 888 was still alive, that would be excellent.
She could then capture him, take him outside the city, and lock him up in the dungeon of Intelligence Department 2 Outpost.
With an escape route map in hand, Kasha wasn’t worried that her actions of forcibly capturing Sin Soldier No. 888 would be stopped by the members of the Korabo Legion.
“The moment I capture Sin Soldier No. 888, I’ll torture him with the cruelest instruments. He must know many of Murphy’s secrets, otherwise he couldn’t have predicted the attack on the Legion Fortress with that weird speech.
She stopped by the entrance to the Artifact Repository and instructed her elite fighters to stay on guard, especially against any possible threats downstream, where a large number of metal skeletons had recently appeared.
As she faced the tunnel leading to the Artifact Repository, Kasha frowned thoughtfully and uttered,
“I remember a soldier accidentally broke a stone statue. The fragments should be inside the tunnel. Should I send someone to clean them up, so as not to fall into the hands of the undead… Forget it, it’s just a stone statue. Just this small object shouldn’t allow the undead to recover too many memories.” With a flick of her hand, Kasha, trailed by her four followers, continued to move forward.
Just as they were passing the entrance to the Artifact Repository, a figure, shrouded from head to toe, emerged from the dark tunnel.
His left hand extended forward, his index finger aimed at Kasha’s head, and his right hand held a revolver.
Without any unnecessary chatter or superfluous movements, he did not give the elite fighters monitoring the surroundings any time to react.
His left finger gave a slight tremor, and a streak of transparent lightning, emitting a thick death aura, shot from his fingers and landed on Kasha’s skull.
“Squish!”
The head was cracked open, with blood and brains splattering on the faces of the elite fighters.
“Enemy attack!”
