第二十三关（前）

Looks like you had a rough time as well.

Madam Ch'en, what happened here?

We were ambushed by Reunion.

We were caught in a withering assault with no reinforcements. They easily routed our forces.

And Misha...?

She was taken away by a woman dressed in red.

I really should have...

Nevermind.

Madam Ch'en, why is Misha so special?

If you keep hiding things from us, it's only going to be harder and harder for us to continue working together.

I have no obligation to tell you.

But Rhodes Island has an obligation to understand the objectives and prepare our strategies accordingly.

Naturally, we'll continue to follow the L.G.D.'s instructions during our operations...

However, when it comes to using the Infected to fight other Infected, we need all the information we can get.

While you may have that information, you don't have the means of using it effectively to reduce your losses.

On the other hand, we have the ability to stop Reunion, but we don't know what they're after.

You sounded a bit like that doctor just now.

Is, is that so...

I think...

This is something that is equally important to both of us.

I see.

If it's because you need to ask for permission from Chief Wei...

When we investigated Misha, the most prominent bit of information was that her father was one of Chernobog's most influential people.

Misha's father?

Naturally, we don't know how much Misha knows about Chernobog.

She could know nothing, or she could know everything.

Nobody knows...

...except her.

We also have no idea what kind of information she might have.

Since you predicted that Lungmen would be Reunion's next target...

It's obvious that we have to prevent Reunion from using Chernobog.

That's why we can't allow them to have Misha.

We were aware of the fact that someone who fit her descriptions had taken refuge in Lungmen...

But until you actually found her, we weren't able to verify if that intel was accurate.

If that's the case, we can't waste any more time.

We have to stop Reunion and rescue Misha before they're able to take her back to Chernobog!

Rhodes Island, prepare to move out!

It was the L.G.D.'s responsibility to track her down.

...and letting Reunion capture her was a dereliction of our duties.

Rather than lauching a joint operation, we'll need Rhodes Island to eliminate other threats from Reunion.

This is an order.

...Understood.

Don't let me down.

N-no! D-don't beat me...

You should've thought twice before entering Lungmen!

Aaaagh!

Lock them all up!

They're not with this group of Infected. Curses...

Not with this group either... Damn it all...

They... retreated way too quickly...

It seems that Reunion also has its own hierarchy.

They just left the riffraff behind to buy them more time.

To think that a single person could delay our reinforcements...

Just who are they...

Madam! We found some Reunion stragglers over there!

Follow me!

Be careful, Madam Ch'en!

It's an ambush!

G-go to hell!

Don't get in my way--!

Madam Ch'en, we're still on Lungmen soil!

The nearby facilities can still be used, so please try not to cause too much damage!

Shut up already!

At least, don't cut these buildings to pieces!

Th-this woman...

She's so hard to deal with!

...Hard to deal with?

Foolish Infected...

Did you think we'd allow you filth to treat Lungmen like your personal latrine?!

L.G.D., attack!

第二十三关（后）

Madam...

Speak.

Most of Reunion's forces have retreated already.

Madam Ch'en, we're also done here.

Tsk...

About those Reunion suspects that we rounded up a few days ago...

Have we been able to get any information out of them?

Does this crossbow look familiar to you?

You're able to draw it, aren't you?

What's the structure of the ammunition? How does it work?

What were you doing in the slums?

What were you doing in Lungmen?

...Nothing.

They won't say a word.

Or perhaps... they just don't know anything.

Like the other Reunion members we defeated, they're probably nothing more than obedient puppets.

...Make them speak.

Use any methods necessary.

I want to know about their squads, their leadership, their strategies, where they're from, and what they plan to do...

Get everything out of them that you can.

I want everything I can get.

Report back to me right away, no matter how insignificant it might seem.

Roger!

Has the L.G.D. ever arrested Reunion members before?

We can't say for sure.

In the end, it's just speculation.

Get me in touch with Hoshiguma!

How's the Special Operations Division faring?
