Song of Time – Dusk Awakening Verse

It is always said that before dawn is the most exhausting time, because countless changes in history have always favored launching at this time-no matter whether their ending is good or bad.

But 9062 doesn't think so. As a light monk, it can be said that the most energetic moment of his day is the moment when dawn meets the breaking of dawn. During the bright second that day, the divine power pulses in his body that settled all night seemed to have responded to the light's call, so that the whole body was immersed in the warm divine aura-even for that moment, for the boring practice In terms of life, it is enough to comfort.

Like all inspectors in black robes, he had no name since he was a child, only 9062, the code name destined to follow him throughout his life. Inspectors do not need names, communication, or feelings. Except for strict training and duty tasks, they cannot have any relationship with everything in the world, or it should be said that it is not impossible, but not allowed...

The partner sitting next to him is named 9056, ranking earlier than him, which means that he is older and speaks less than him. In fact, he felt that he was somewhat out of the ordinary among the Santa Inspectors. Although he worked step by step like a mechanical gear, he still didn't feel that he had to abandon unnecessary distractions. He even gave himself a name in private: "Liu Ao", it sounded a bit literal.

At this time dawn has not yet arrived. He still sat by the faint fire, picked up the sticks and swiped it a few times, then glanced at his companion. The investigator was still sitting with his eyes closed, seemingly resting, but the divine power ripples constantly showing off his side showed the truth.

"Come on for some tea?" He asked softly, and the investigator shook his head very slowly, but didn't say a word. He didn't know whether he was telling him everything is safe, or he categorically rejected his intention.

He was accustomed to his companion’s temper for a long time, so he took another cup of hot water from the big pot by the fire, took a few sips, raised his head and took a glance at the other side of the hillside. He didn’t see any movement before pressing. After thinking about it, continue to meditate with closed eyes.

He wanted to meditate like this until the moment of light emerges, but within a few minutes, he heard a quick alert from his companion: "Come on!" He immediately jumped up to the side of the tent and knocked on their respective curtains. After three times, all the princes who had been asleep were called out.

"What?" Shun opened the curtain, waved his hand to release the illusion disguise, and then looked at the black robe explorer.

"They are here. There are a lot of them." The inspector kept releasing divine power ripples. After a few seconds, he reported the approximate number of the enemy, "No less than a hundred people."

"Prepare for defense." The prince knew that illusion was not effective on those blood-eyed people, so he immediately removed his disguise, made a gesture as far as he could, and said to the water monk who had just got out of the tent, "Sister Ling, please also press in the back. In case the situation changes, we will evacuate immediately by water."

"Got it." Monk Water yawned, and walked towards the raised high rock on the coast.

The monk Guangming waved out a few arcs, illuminating the rock up and down, and heard a few panic noises coming from behind the slope. He hesitated for a while and said to the prince: "Your Majesty, the enemy is fierce, and the sailors are afraid they can't resist it. If they lost their lives for nothing, it is better to let them go to the coast first, and it is convenient to evacuate."

"Alright..." Shun nodded and asked him to gather the sailors by himself. One leaped to the top of the rock and stood on the shoulder of the gun guard. He drew out his long knife with a chuckle, and sneered staring at some bright red rays in the distance. , "These monsters are not afraid of life and death. They are just like puppets, and they don't know what monsters created by sorcery."

"They are a lot weaker than the batch at the port last time..." He glanced at the surrounding mountains and rocks with a heavy gun as far as he could, checking whether there might be any defensive weaknesses.

"Why are you..." The prince was a little surprised. In the confrontation at dusk, they almost never defended the enemy head-on, and they didn't know where their companions got their confidence. However, before he could finish asking this sentence, a few blood-eyed people appeared on the edge of the coconut grove in front of him. He could only swallow his doubts and stand with a knife to attack.

The enemy's attack was extremely fast, but the red mist did not follow, and it essentially lost its greatest threat. The two paired together extremely skillfully, acting as a shield as far as possible, and Shun as a blade, there was no flaw between offensive and defensive, but a few staggered back and forth, all the blood-eyed people who rushed first were cut off. At the moment of death, these weird people swelled like an inhaling ball, and exploded into a cloud of blood, with no bones left. If they hadn't stretched their shields as far as possible, they would be covered with stenchy blood. .

"It's a vicious method!" Shun frowned and yelled, and then looked down the rock. The two inspectors were urging the sailors to go to the evacuation point on the coast. Further away, Miss Ling in red floated. Standing empty, surrounded by a whirlpool of divine power, it looks awe-inspiring.

"Stay for a while, and leave when the red mist gets closer..." He exhorted as far as he could, staring at the red marks drawn by the line of divine light in the forest, and secretly had enough strength to take the enemy. Hearing a soft whistle behind him, my heart suddenly jumped and turned my head back abruptly.

The water monk on the coast did not know what was going on. He had fallen back to the ground at this moment, his body was protected by layers of dark blue water shields like round spheres, and he couldn't see what was inside.

"Retreat!" Monk Shui is their greatest support for a smooth escape. There is no mistake, how can he hesitate, grab the arm as far as he can, and rush straight down the mountain with a kick of his right foot.

Not long ago, in the depths of the sea one kilometer away from the fishing village, the "Bounce Tu" had silently stuck to the bottom armor of the "Abyss", like a small ghost wrapped in the shadow under the propeller that was almost the same width as it. Place, so that the other party can't find out.

In the command room, Virut looked at the warship armor that stretched like black rocks outside the glass window, listening to Qi Shu's babbling about the general structure of the giant ship while thinking about the plan of action.

The sudden start of the Abyss was the good opportunity he had been waiting for for a long time. The rumbling caused by the huge battleship crossing the bottom was enough to cover up any traces of his side that might cause detection. He hurriedly ordered the old boatman to take the opportunity to sprint at full speed and finally successfully affixed to the bottom of the target cabin, which also meant that there was only a wall between entering the battleship. But it is impossible to break the thick armor without attention, and use the weak weapon firepower to "bulb", I am afraid that the last chance will fall on that kid...

He turned his mind around, then turned his head to look at Saiker who was sleeping soundly on the floor, and suddenly interrupted the old man's muttering softly: "Uncle Seven, is there a smoke bomb on the boat?"

"This... I'm not prepared." The old boatman was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately reacted, frowning for a while and then said, "But there is a way to make black smoke, just add some miscellaneous materials to the explosives. After burning, thick smoke will come out, just choking your nose."

"It's okay, please prepare some first."

"Okay..." The old man nodded and was about to leave. Yu Guang suddenly saw a wave of tremors in the waters outside. He immediately turned his head to look, only to see spherical black shadows falling from above to the seabed. Immediately after the entire giant ship, there was a bang, and countless sudden jets of water continued to impact downwards, slowly lifting the ship to the surface.

"What's that?" Velut also stared at the balls, and through the detection lights from the flanks of the giant ship, he discovered that they hadn't been long since they sank to the bottom, and they all stretched out and turned into huge human figures. mechanical.

"Diving magic puppets!? So many!" The old boatman's expression changed drastically, and he took a few steps to the glass window and took a close look. He still shook his head in disbelief, "I didn't expect... they would actually ......" He suddenly stopped, and tremblingly pulled Virut into his hands and shouted, "Master, we have to get out immediately! Those puppets have their own detectors, if they are found, it will be too late!"

"Uncle Qi, don't be nervous..." Velut patted his arm to soothe the old man's emotions, and then glanced at the giant puppet that was faintly visible in the bubbling water on the outside, "They are moving in the fishing village. , I must have started with the Prince Takiguni. Evil Eyes did not know the existence of this boat, and they never expected us to hide under their feet. You don't need to worry."

"This...hey!" The old boatman was stunned for a few seconds, then sighed helplessly.

"You'd better prepare as many smoke bombs as possible first, and use them immediately when the time comes."

"Ok……"

Virut persuaded the old man to go, and looked back at Saikor who was still in his sleep and didn't feel anything. He couldn't help but twitched his mouth, leaned back to the glass window, and looked like a series of white dragon fruits The blisters that swept across the field of vision quietly fell into contemplation.

The "Abyss" stopped at a distance of about 100 meters from the surface of the water, turned off the propellers and all bright light searchlights, and suspended in the water, as if it had entered a state of being ready to go. This is definitely an opportunity that cannot be missed for Velut. He was planning to launch the infiltration plan immediately, but he did not expect to encounter another very difficult problem.

"No, no." The Shadow Assassin turned his head like a rattle, and said that he disagreed with anything, "I don't want to go out for a swim!"

"Don't worry, you have a full-body waterproof suit."

"Nor go there!"

"It really doesn't work... let's just shadow and go." The young earl also knew that he always hated swimming and didn't want to embarrass him. Who knows that Saiker listened to him and lay down on the ground with confidence, squinting and complaining. Get up: "Where is the strength... Yesterday, I took the two of you. I was almost exhausted. My bones are still sore. Don't go out..."

Virut knew he was wrangling when he heard it. When he was teasing the little hermit crab, he was not a bit tired, but he couldn't refute the reason since he moved out, so he quickly glanced out the window and looked. When the giant ship was still standing still, he followed his words as if unintentionally, and said: "This is... Yesterday was very thrilling. Thanks to you arrived in time, I don't even know that your shadow technique can still be used. People walk together..."

"Hey, this young master is serious, let alone two people, twenty can be brought! But... it's just too hard, if it wasn't for you, this young master would not be happy to take it!" The shadow assassin saw him praise himself, The cowhide was blown up again.

"However, can Shadow Transformation... even in such a deep sea?"

"Of course it can!" Seeing that he seemed to doubt his abilities, Saiker immediately sat up and patted his chest, "Absolutely no problem. Yesterday I got all the way from under the sea bed to the boat!"

"Really? You are so afraid of water, how come you come from the bottom of the sea?" Verut still had a distrustful expression on his face, and he spurred him to jump up and explained loudly: "Really! I used to be yesterday. I caught a turtle and wanted to ride it, who knows that the kid was disobedient and went underwater halfway! But fortunately, my master, I’m clever, and I’ll be shadowed when I don’t see it right. I didn’t expect it to work, hehe!"

"I still can't believe..."

Seeing his companion shook his head again, Saiker didn't know how to convince him. He just slapped his head after thinking about it, and pulled him out: "If you believe it or not, I will show it to you now!" He had just walked two steps. Suddenly I realized something was wrong, my feet were stagnant, and he slowly turned his head to look at the other person's smiley face, swallowed his saliva and smiled dryly: "Then... or next time..."

"Follow me." Virut was so tolerant of him to deny him, grabbing his cloak with his backhand, and walking to the rear cabin with his dejected companion.

The old boatman had already waited in the preparation room, and when he saw the young master coming, he immediately handed over his outfit: a set of shark skin tight waterproof suit, an armed harness with a sealed buckle (more than ten smoke bombs were put in it), one Put a new revolver.

Verut nodded at him, fastened his belt and put the short spear away, and put on the waterproof suit. He only left a small mouth at the collar of his neck. He glanced back at Syker, and the Shadow Assassin had nothing to say, and the black mist rolled. It turned into Heiguang and went along the neckline and got into the inside of his clothes.

A thin black shadow quickly emerged from the rear cockpit of the “DamTu”, swimming like a fish to the entrance of the propeller pipe, and looking inward through the thick diving glasses. Although the huge machinery with a radius of more than ten meters is in a stopped state at the moment, Velut didn't dare to take the risk of entering lightly. He hid in the dark part covered by the side wall, and patted his chest lightly. The black light flashed through this. The pipe goes straight into the bottom compartment of the giant ship.

The bottom compartment of the "Abyss" is very wide, with a height of more than ten meters and a length of more than a hundred meters. There are many tightly sealed iron boxes stacked in it. Look at the round emblem on it. It is indeed a licensed export by Frsaris. The puppet device, it seems that this place is mostly where the giant puppets are placed.

Virut carefully hid in the aisle between the two large iron boxes, gently took off the waterproof suit, folded it, and tucked it into the belt gap, then looked around and looked at these "imported material boxes." He guessed that there might be various parts or even weapon supplies in it, but he really knows very little about puppet craftsmanship, and he can't recognize the meaning of various icons at all-those professional books written in engineering runes, ordinary Let alone understand, people can only recognize it as a picture, but they can't remember much.

He didn't know that the teacher had reached this deal with the West in private, and he naturally couldn't prepare how to deal with it. But at this moment, fortunately, there was no figure in the bottom cabin, and he couldn't hear any sound of the puppet's launch. The machinery hummed.

He poked his head back and forth vigilantly, then turned around and patted his companion who was still lying on his back, panting, and issued an instruction: "Ready to go."

"Wait a moment..." Saiker uttered a few words weakly, stood up on the iron box, and couldn't stop complaining, "Why did you suddenly weigh so much? Yesterday, two people didn't bring it together. tired……"

"..." Virut didn't want to answer such stupid words, and he slowed down and rubbed almost silently to the bottom of the cabin entrance. He glanced in the crack of the door, the outside was dark and there seemed to be no movement, then he looked back and winked at his companion.

The shadow assassin flattened his mouth, turned into a black shadow reluctantly, and got out of the gap. It didn't take long for him to flash back, patted his cloak and shook his head. He then took a finger-wide fluorescent short stick from his belt, slowly opened the doorknob, and squeezed out sideways.

The corridor outside was still unguarded. With the faint vision illuminated by the fluorescent light, he pulled his companion against the wall and walked cautiously toward the upper stairs indicated by the old boatman. The journey went very smoothly, the bottom of the ship seemed completely undefended, and of course there was no obvious light. They walked for about five minutes in the dark Fangzheng Iron Corridor, and they saw an alloy wall appearing in front of them, sealing the entire passage tightly.

It actually added a defense...Virut recalled the entrance to the stairs that the old man had specifically explained, frowning and photographing the junctions around the iron wall, and found that the wall seemed to be naturally integrated with the corridor. , There is no gap at all. He held the light stick and looked around for several times, but found nothing, so he gave up the idea of ​​searching for the mechanism and stared at the wall in a daze.

"I'll cut it." Saiker leaned on the wall behind him and waited for a long time. Seeing that he was still silent, he finally had no patience. He drew his short sword and was about to step forward, but he was held back by one. Arm.

"Idiot! What if someone guards you face to face?" He suppressed his voice extremely low, and snapped a word in his companion's ear.

"What should I do then?" The Shadow Assassin could only curl his lips and retract the sword, looking at the wall in a daze.

Verut did not answer, and stared at the wall for a long while. Suddenly, there was a flash of light, and he pulled Saiker closer, and raised his hand to his waist: "That mutant hermit crab, use its acid If the fluid drills a small hole, you can pass."

"It makes sense!" The Shadow Assassin hurriedly pulled out a small light-proof bottle from the treasure chest in his belt, and opened it to see that the little guy was digging into the sand piled in the bottle, revealing only a point on the back shell. He leaned over the bottle and gently poured it a few times, pinched the back shell of the little thing and placed it at the foot of the wall, and pushed a few times with his fingertips: "Little green ball, spit acid, be good."

The little hermit crab was sleeping well, and it seemed a bit dazed to be disturbed by others. A pair of slender eyes peeked out, but no acid was spit out.

"Quick, come on." Saikor pushed a few times like a ghost, and the little thing finally got angry, and the spray of acid was falling on the wall, making a very slight noise. Verut waited for the sound to stop, and squatted down while holding the light stick. There was only a burnt black mark on the alloy wall, and the hardness was obviously much higher than that of the inner material of the "bullet paint".

"It seems that we... wait a while." He slapped his companion's arm with a stern face, and soon heard the sound of fine objects falling into boiling oil again. Bored, he simply leaned against the corner and closed his eyes in the darkness to revise the plan for this mission.

Fortunately, the giant ship is still intact, I just hope that Prince Takiguni can buy me more time...
