Chapter 588 (1/2)

At the end of the dark channel was a shell-like gate, but in front of the gate were two armed siren sentries. Hao Ren hid behind a bundle of pipes and looked up at the guards in the distance. “I wondered if they would allow us to pass… and they don’t look puppets which have lost their thinking ability.”

Hasse carefully drew this crossbow. “Looks like a fight is inevitable. I’m confident I can remove them in an instant and make little noise.”

Shaqira quickly stopped him. “Wait a second!”

“No, we must act now,” Hasse seemed to have misunderstood Shaqira. “These sirens are under control. Now they are enemies.”

“That’s not what I mean. If you kill them here, they will soon be resurrected elsewhere in the palace and attract a large group of guards,” Shaqira shook her hands slightly. “It’s very difficult to completely kill a siren if there isn’t enough preparation which requires a complicated sealing ceremony.”

Lily pulled her ears and said, “Arf—so why do you people evolve to become like this?”

However, the ‘seal’ had reminded Hao Ren of something. He quickly observed his surroundings and gestured with his hand saying that he had an idea. “Step back. Shaqira, can draw them over here?”

Shaqira had no idea what it was about, but she still nodded, and when the others had stepped back, she opened her mouth in the direction of the two sentries but they heard nothing. However, the two sirens were alert. The two looked at each other before writhing toward the corner where Hao Ren was hiding.

As the two sirens moved a little bit closer, Hao Ren tensed up. The two siren sentinels apparently had sensed the breath of strangers from the water from five meters away. Their expression slightly changed before wielding their tridents high!

Hao Ren rushed out of the corner, his movement was quick and powerful as if he had launched himself from a spring. This shocked the two siren sentries. However, when they realised what was going on, Hao Ren had caught them by their tails. With just a swoop, the two sirens were gone.

Hao Ren dusted his hand as his mouth spat out a series of bubbles. “Done.”

Shaqira was stunned. “Where have you thrown them to?”

“In the dimensional pocket,” Hao Ren shrugged his shoulders. “Now they’re fighting with two mechanical arms. Oh, there’ve been tied up…”

Shaqira: “What?”

Nangong Wuyue looked at Hao Ren’s hand quirkily. “Wait, why do I feel that your move is a little familiar?”

Hao Ren smiled wryly and said, “Oh, that’s how I usually drag you back up when you crawled around the house.”

Everyone: “…..”

Vivian patted on Hao Ren’s shoulder and said, “Let’s move. The monster brain might soon discover that it has lost two chess, and send someone to investigate. We better get moving.”

They quickly swam toward the gate, and this time they finally got lucky: The gate was not locked, and Shaqira and Sorma pulled the lever next to the gate and the gate slid open to the side producing a string of bubbles in the process.

Hao Ren took the lead and swam in. As he crossed the gate, he was taken aback by what he saw. “What the heck… look!”

Behind the gate was a fan-shaped hall. In the centre of the hall, a spherical luminous object like a super-giant pearl was suspended in there. Under the illumination of this luminous object, they saw many rectangular platforms neatly lay around the hall. On each platform there was a ‘person’ lying lifelessly. Their skin was dark grey and stiff, wearing tattered World War II soldier uniforms and their chests were inlaid with grey-blue weird crystals.

They were WWII allied soldiers!
