In Chernobog, within the northern urban area, at the entrance of a house, Talulah extended her hand, and fine raindrops fell upon it, gathering into droplets that flowed down between her fingers.
"Has Chernobog had rain these past few days?" Talulah asked, her tone a mix of confusion and skepticism.
"The Calamity Messenger delivered a weather forecast saying that Chernobog should be sunny these days, but under this weather, with the north wind heading south, rain is normal. Besides, this weather won't affect our operations, will it?" A white-haired youth emerged from the house, a sneer on his lips and a somewhat crazed look on his face.
"Mephisto, Patriot already knows what you and your squad did at the school. He's very displeased with your actions." Talulah glanced at the youth beside her, not even bothering to shift her body leaning against the doorframe.
"Tch! It's Patriot again. We're all cadres, why does he have to nag me all the time?" Mephisto's face showed disgust upon hearing Talulah's words, and he eventually tapped his staff on the ground.
"I'll withdraw the squad from the school; I'm tired of it anyway." With that, he walked away without looking back. After he left, a black-haired young man emerged from the shadows. He bowed respectfully to Talulah before running in the direction Mephisto had left.
The hand Talulah had extended suddenly burst into flames, instantly drying her wet palm. The corners of her eyes curved slightly, revealing a faint smile.
"It seems another formidable little one has entered the fray!" After looking up at the gloomy sky, Talulah turned and walked back into the room.
Meanwhile, Kanna and Raidian were walking through the light rain in Chernobog.
Chernobog, already quiet, grew even quieter in the rain. Aside from a few panicked pedestrians who had realized the situation in Chernobog, there were frighteningly few people on the streets.
"By the way, aren't we too conspicuous walking like this?" Kanna looked around at the almost deserted surroundings and complained.
Raidian also showed a helpless expression. "No choice, we were still a step too late. Chernobog can now be considered largely out of Ursus's control. So, to establish a communication channel, we must take some risks."
Suddenly, Kanna tightened her grip on Raidian's hand. "We have two tails behind us!"
Raidian nodded knowingly and then turned into an alley.
Soon, two fully armed individuals with weapons followed them into the alley.
After a flash of lightning, Raidian, holding Kanna's hand, left the alley, leaving behind only two unconscious "enemies."
Before leaving, Kanna glanced at the two fallen figures. She was very familiar with their clothes, a familiarity that came from the "Daybreak" and from most ordinary Reunion Movement soldiers' equipment.
To think they would encounter Reunion Movement here proved that the organization had largely infiltrated all of Chernobog.
"Those two just now, I think the insignia on their clothes belonged to Reunion Movement," Kanna whispered to Raidian after they emerged.
"Speaking of which, if it's just to pick up the Doctor, wouldn't one squad of Operators be enough? Why such a grand display?" Kanna found Rhodes Island's choice strange. If it was just to pick up one person, arranging a helicopter with a few elites, flying directly into Chernobog, taking the Doctor from the sarcophagus, and leaving would be very easy. Why was it a matter of four squads entering and four squads leaving?
Besides the E4 Squad led by Nearl, even all members of the Amiya Squad were buried in Chernobog. It was fortunate that Amiya had a protagonist's script; otherwise, she would have fallen there too.
"Not everyone can open the sarcophagus. From what I understand, only Amiya or Kal'tsit herself has the qualification to open the door to the sarcophagus. Moreover, Marquis Boris of Chernobog, and even all of Ursus, have never granted Rhodes Island entry permission. Successful entry is not an easy matter," Raidian explained while quickly leading Kanna away from the alley.
After two days, having placed the last communication transmitter, Raidian wiped the sweat from her forehead. In these two days, they had been attacked by Reunion Movement at least a dozen times. All these attackers were sent by Kanna into alleys or dumpsters.
But these actions clearly alerted Reunion Movement, and many Reunion Movement soldiers began to surround the two along their path.
"Let's go! Those guys are coming again."
Raidian nodded. "Exactly, we need to get away from the transmitters to prevent these hard-won installed transmitters from being discovered and destroyed by Reunion Movement."
After walking for a while, Kanna grabbed Raidian's hand and looked towards the end of the street.
"I was wondering who was killing our Reunion Movement comrades. I didn't expect it to just be a woman with a child." A red-haired Lupo appeared at the other end of the road. Around her, a rising mist obscured vision, making it difficult for ordinary people to distinguish whether the things blocking their sight in the fine rain were mist or smoke.
Upon seeing her opponent, Kanna's lips curled into a smirk. √
Isn't this the old friend of all Doctors, the woman toyed with by all Push and Pull Operators, Crownslayer, Ludmilla?
As the lightest BOSS and a frequent target of some Doctors' torment, Miss Ludmilla's exciting short videos were well-known to many players. Precisely because she was a BOSS that could be toyed with, she also attracted many prankster enthusiasts to Arknights, who even specially organized the "Crownslayer Cup."
"We didn't kill anyone!" Kanna waved her hand. Her actions were carefully calculated; the force was just enough to knock someone out, at most leaving them partially paralyzed, absolutely not fatal.
Crownslayer frowned. She had personally checked the deceased members, and the other party still dared to deny it.
As a Lupo who grew up in Siracusa, she would not underestimate Kanna just because she was young, as using old people and children to launch attacks was not new in Siracusa's family feuds.
She brandished her weapon and charged towards the two.
"Sigh~ I told you the truth, why won't you listen?" Just as Crownslayer's weapon was about to strike the two, Kanna sprinted in front of her, then lifted her leg and fiercely kicked her…
