Blue Sword

After a short rest, everyone set off again.

Due to the special nature of this change, Asker did not mention anything about the division and reunited the team into one.

At the same time, similar incidents also broke out around other mercenary groups.

These mysterious impostors sometimes pretend to be mercenary members in action, and sometimes pretend to be other mercenary groups that are familiar with each other, luring the deceived team to a nearby location.

Once you choose to believe these fakes, you will end up disappearing.

mysteriously disappeared.

Of course, after all, being in an extraordinary state of affairs, the vast majority of mercenaries would naturally not trust others easily.

It's okay to pretend to be a member of your own family. If you pretend to be a familiar mercenary group, most mercenary groups will keep a close eye on it, such as only letting scouts follow you for investigation.

As a result, the scout never returned, causing the mercenary group to immediately jump into action after realizing that they had been deceived.

Whether they realize that these counterfeit goods are fake, or they just mistakenly believe that they have been deceived by the "friend group", in a few hours, these mercenary groups have raised their vigilance to the extreme and will never trust the little ones again. Any human being encountered in town.

It was in this scene that the Blue Sword Mercenary Group and the Wind of Freedom Mercenary Group, led by Captain Matthews, whom they had interacted with last time, met.

"Hey, isn't this Captain Matthews?" As soon as he turned the corner, he met Matthews and others. Asik immediately recognized the leader and said in surprise.

"You are..." Matthews remained calm and put his men on alert. At the same time, he quickly recalled and finally remembered who the uninvited guest in front of him was. "You are the Pale Sword mercenary group from last time. Commander, Lord Aske?"

"It's the Cangqing Sword." Ask said calmly, "Captain Matthews, something is very wrong with this change. Have you discovered anything over there?"

"Discovered? Not yet." Matthews said pretendingly, "We walked along the way and luckily we didn't encounter any monsters."

"Oh." Ask understood that this was because the other party did not want to reveal the clue that there was a wizard's stone on the monster's corpse, and at the same time was trying to conceal the impostor. He smiled and shook his head, planning to leave with the team members.

"Captain Aske, you said something was wrong with this change. What exactly happened?" Matthews asked immediately when he saw that the other party wanted to leave.

The soldiers of the Wind of Freedom were ashamed to hear this. He did not disclose any useful information to the other party, but instead tried to extract beneficial information from the other party. The leader was simply cunning.

"Ah, like you, we haven't encountered any monsters along the way, so we feel a little strange." Ask said with a smile.

I believe you! Matthew suddenly roared in his heart.

They also killed six or seven humanoid monsters along the way. They found that although these monsters were not very powerful in attack, they were extremely difficult to defeat due to their thick skin and thick blood. Coupled with the previous impostor incident, it is even more difficult to take this change lightly.

Captain Asker of the Blue Sword actually wants to deceive us and say that this change is very simple? Shameless, really shameless, I must reprimand him in my heart.

"That's it." Matthews smirked, "Indeed, according to what the Duke of Carinthia's scouts said before, the residents of the town seem to have turned into monsters. Why didn't we encounter any after we entered? ?Things are indeed a little weird."

"However, after all, we signed an employment contract with the Duke of Carinthia." Aske said, "So we still have to find the root cause of this mutation before we can completely solve it."

"That's right," Matthews said. "In that case, we won't bother you anymore."

"Let's go to the right," Aske said.

"Let's go left," Matthews said.

So the two mercenary groups parted ways again. From beginning to end, neither of them said anything about cooperation.

After walking for about ten minutes, the two mercenary groups met head-on again.

Matthews et al:? ? ?

Everyone in Cangqing Sword:? ? ?

"There is something wrong with this environment." Asik said calmly, "First of all, we have been walking forward. Secondly, this intersection is exactly the intersection where we met before, at least judging from the surrounding environment."

"The same goes for us," Matthews said. "We didn't turn a corner, just kept going forward, and ended up back here again."

Faced with this strange situation, the two mercenary groups were a little confused and couldn't help but cast their vigilant eyes on the opposite side.

"I have a guess." Asik said, "This change deliberately forced our two mercenary groups together, perhaps to lure us into killing each other."

"That's right," Matthews said. "Of course we won't be fooled."

If you won't be fooled, then why are you holding the hilt of the sword tightly with your right hand? The girls were speechless when they saw Matthews looking like he was facing an enemy.

"Then let's turn right this time." Ask said.

"We went in the opposite direction," Matthews said.

So the two mercenary groups faced each other again. Ask took out a bullet from the bag and threw it on the ground.

Ten minutes later, the two mercenary groups met again.

Everyone:………………

"The last time we were separated, I threw a bullet on the ground." Aske Youyou said.

"Did you see any bullets on the ground?" Matthews asked the people behind him.

The mercenaries of Freedom Wind lowered their heads to observe, and they all said that they did not see any bullets.

"In other words, although the environment is exactly the same, we have not returned to the original position." Aske said.

"What does that mean?" Matthews asked cautiously.

"It shows that we are not following a closed circular route, but there is some special force that forcibly combines the routes of our two mercenary groups." Aske said.

"Is it like a Möbius strip?" Nora was lost in thought with great interest. "We walked along the front and they walked along the back. They ended up unexpectedly coming together because the distorted space changed our route. It’s connected.”

"I don't understand what a Möbius strip is." Matthews frowned and said, "But since there is supernatural power at work, even if we are separated again, it will just repeat the phenomenon ten minutes ago."

"In that case, let's go together for now." Ask said calmly.

Matthews nodded.

So the two mercenary groups gathered together and continued to move forward in a random direction.

Cangqing Sword walked along the left side of the road, and Free Wind walked along the right side of the road, keeping a distance of about 10 meters from each other. It is self-evident that they should be wary of each other.

After another ten minutes, everyone saw several bodies lying scattered in the middle of the road ahead.

One of them was covered in blood and seemed not to be completely dead yet. Hearing footsteps in front of him, he immediately stood up in a pool of blood with difficulty.

After seeing the appearance of the visitor clearly, the man suddenly showed an expression of disbelief, pointed at Aske and shouted:

"You! You are fake! Pretending to be me...you!"

Before he finished speaking, Asik drew out his sword and stabbed it cleanly through the guy's heart.

The mercenaries behind looked at the corpse in horror.

The young man who fell back into a pool of blood and was killed by Aske looked exactly like Aske.
