Chapter 107: The Shield of Truth (Part 2/2)

Translator: Strivon

This series of frigid irony and scorching satire was sent over. However, Red Fox had made a novice-like error during his torrent of words. He had used the HexaEar as a standard telephone. All thoughts of telepathic communication were completely forgotten. He just directly roared with his voice.

Red Fox's mood was not alleviated after his roaring. Instead, he grew even more hot-tempered. He smashed his fist atop the control console and cursed, ”Retard!” He still continued to feel irritable, so he pulled against his red jacket and cursed, ”Weasel!”

Bamboo Pole shook his head, no longer uttering words into the encrypted channel. He just simply spoke to Red Fox to mollify him. ”Though he may be addressed as 'Mister', he's still a kid. And... Xia City is not the same as Hu City.”

Red Fox's expression turned even uglier when he heard the words ‘Hu City’. He shot an ice-cold glance towards Bamboo Pole. ”The only thing different is the distance. Back then, I ran out of Hu City like a dog. Here, I am now at Xia City, where I don't want to die like a dog. I don't want to be thrown into the dump by others.”

Bamboo Pole shrugged. He no longer tried to persuade Red Fox since some not-so-friendly faces had shown up in the monitoring system. These faces were heading over to the control room, over to them. Bamboo Pole sighed and asked within the encrypted channel. ”Trouble has come as expected. What should we do?”

He Yueyin asked him, ”Can you confirm what weapons the enemy currently possess?”

Bamboo Pole understood He Yueyin's meaning. She was not asking for them to immediately barricade the door from these people, she was asking what sort of plans the order had in Yulan Hotel, what deployment they had prepared against Fairchild... Ah, she was more stubborn than he had expected.

”A big fellow. Their main combat weapon is certainly a big fellow.”

Bamboo Pole multitasked. He switched repeatedly between the monitoring screens and confirmed his target; they were already starting to set up. ”It's very likely a sniper weapon. To the best of my knowledge, many secret orders are researching supernatural versions of sniper artillery cannons. Against a single target, this toy can be several times more powerful than a particle cannon. Of course, I have my doubts on whether or not it will be effective against the Shield of Truth.”

He Yueyin was not superfluous. She just simply responded, ”Retreat. Head towards the predetermined reinforcement point.”

Red Fox sneered off to the side. He gestured with his hand implying. ”You see, I knew it.”

The corner of Bamboo Pole's mouth twitched. You're the one shouting ‘master!’ with the Order of Justice on our doorstep. And now that we are retreating, you slap me on the face. Bamboo Pole felt quite displeased.

In the end, Bamboo Pole did not say anything. He packed up his equipment from the control room in five seconds and walked out with Red Fox. The control room was on a floor close to the roof. This floor was not used for accommodations. It was absolutely empty and utterly quiet.

Red Fox felt uneasy. He muttered, ”It's way too late to retreat now. He Yueyin and the others caught the order's snipers off guard at Frost River Reality. Now, the order will be prepared to ambush us from all sides... Oh crap!”

Ahead, the door to the fire escape was heaved open but Bamboo Pole and Red Fox were smart. Without even seeing a trace of a person, they knew that people were coming with bad intentions. They glanced at each other, turned around, and ran.

The fine electric hum of gauss rifles reverberated behind them in the empty floor and were exceptional at instilling fear into their souls.

”I'm not part of the d*mn combat personnel!” Bamboo Pole cursed. But before cursing, he had pressed a special button on the flexible screen in his hands. The floor's fire alarm went off and several heat-blocking walls came falling down.

Electromagnetic projectiles shot out from weapon barrels, only to bombard against the layer of transparent walls. They pierced through but the walls caused their trajectories to deviate.

At the same time, a door opened up to the side. Bamboo Pole shouted, ”Over here!” Red Fox and Bamboo Pole then rammed their way inside. They made their way through the room as fast as the could; they did not hesitate in the slightest. They traversed through a large open window and jumped into the night sky at an altitude of nearly a thousand meters.

After performing this suicidal action, it was as if their feet had stepped onto blazing wheels. They slid down the vertical glass walls of the hotel at astonishing speeds.
