Глава 5

No need to take off your shoes.

Are you serious? Ch'en, answer me honestly, do you hate your old man?

He doesn't deserve to be my father.

Okay.

If I remember correctly, you joined the L.G.D. right after you graduated from Victoria and returned to Lungmen.

I was living in the dorms at the time.

So, you never returned here after that.

I have no lingering attachments to this place.

People who say stuff like that usually have a lot more going on in their mind.

Anyways, do you have any ideas about what this high-value target might be?

Ch'en?

She's deep in her own little world again, huh.

Ch'en, I'll be waiting by the door. Call me when you're ready to go.

Keep all the toys orderly.

Do not go outside.

Do not talk to anyone without permission.

Do not make eye contact with adults without permission.

You really kept this room clean all this time.

Hmph. How generous of you to keep a tidy bed for me. Or is this some kind of malediction because you think I'm bad luck?

Wait, the photo... Right, the photo...

You shall receive no love from me, not in the slightest.

Sorry. I'm sorry, but I can't stand you. Just seeing you makes me want to peel my skin off my arms.

I cannot tolerate any of you. I am too selfish, but I can't live like this anymore.

One day, all of you will understand. If you hate me, so be it. Because I hate you too. And that's how it should be.

Here it is.

A photo from such a long time ago... I thought it had been lost.

Wait, no... could this be what they're searching for?

What's going on? Why would they be after this? Have you lost your marbles as well?

I'll certainly help you, but what are you thinking? Why here, why now?

Ah... What'd I expect. Of course you won't answer me.

Ah, are you finally ready to go?

We're going.

Did you get any leads? Or did you want to play with the balls of yarn a bit longer?

Hard to believe you're still in the mood to crack jokes.

I think your mood is just a tiny bit better than it was before though.

It's as you said. Maybe I did have a bit too much on my mind.

That's right, according to the reports, Reunion is scattered throughout this entire area, and the forces we deployed earlier are driving them out.

That's good. That makes our job easier, and we're getting closer to our goal.

L.G.D., get into formation and move out! We're going to take back Lungmen!

第五关（前）

Something's not right.

What is it this time? Is your illness acting up?

This is totally different from Chernobog.

Even though our losses were significant, when we seized victory in Chernobog, we could see our enemies struggling and their accomplices fleeing for their lives.

But doesn't Lungmen feel like it's empty?

It can't be, right?

Come to think of it, this is supposed to be Paci Plaza, right? How come such a large mall with so many shops is completely empty?

Plus, I took a look around, and there's nothing of value lying around! Everything's already been taken!

Didn't Patriot prohibit that...

That's not what I was saying. You know, Mephisto doesn't care what we do, but that's not the point.

What I was going to say is that, it's like someone hid everything from us.

That's just your imagination. Lungmen can't do a thing against us!

We suddenly appear from every nook and cranny all of a sudden, and hot damn, it'll be just like that time at Chernobog.

This time, we're not going to wreak havoc across the city, but take it over. It'll become our city!

Did you know?

Know what?

Paci Plaza is the closest base to the L.G.D. Headquarters. It'll be quick and convenient to supply it from here.

I heard it when it was mentioned in the last briefing. Anything else?

All the Reunion forces around the city are to gather at the L.G.D. Headquarters, and then spread out to take over the entire city.

We know how the squads in this district have been deployed...

But what about the other districts? I know many squads are supposed to be making their way over here, but quite a few of them have gone missing without a trace.

Missing... what do you mean by that?

It's really strange. Their comms were still connected, but there was no response from them. We don't have any way of contacting them.

And soon, no one will be able to contact you either.

What! Who's there?!

From the window! They're outside the window!

Enemies! We're under attack by enemies! The L.G.D.... It's the L.G.D.!

Hah! You'd better believe it!

Damn it! Did she swing down from the roof and smash the windows?

Fight! Get moving! We have them outnumbered - all we have to do is slaughter them!

Pass me the radio.

Yes ma'am!

Listen up, L.G.D.! Pulverize Reunion along with their bunkers!

What the hell? ! Paci Plaza is my family's property! How dare you—

Sorry, li'l Miss, Reunion is still fighting back. We'll have to prioritize neutralizing them before we can think about...

What did you say?! You good for nothing—!!

L.G.D.! Attack!

Good grief... *sigh*...

Try to be careful though. These are our peoples' assets after all.

They didn't move that piano away, probably because it's too heavy. That alone is worth 1.8 million LMD. The li'l Miss was boasting to me about it, so try to be careful.

You won't get away!

Take cover! Quick! Hide behind that piano!

Oops.

They smashed through our cover! Relocate!

1.8 million gone... just like that.

Comrades, comrades! Listen closely!

We've taken the Paci Plaza as our new base, and have set up our defenses. However, the L.G.D. suddenly attacked us from the roof! They're currently thinning out our ranks!

Alert!! L.G.D.'s main force is in Paci Plaza! I repeat, Paci Plaza!

Are you done yet?

When did you—

If you've finished reporting, your mission is done.

The mission is to let all the Reunion forces in Lungmen know that we are here.

We'll be waiting for them, for them to chase after us and meet the L.G.D. in mortal combat.

L.G.D.! Continue firing! Don't stop!

第五关（后）

That was easier than I expected. Really makes me more and more curious as to what happened in Chernobog.

Perhaps it's the same thing as what happened here, except the roots sank in deeper and the flames burned with more intensity. Don't let your guard down.

You should know that I rarely close my eyes when I'm sleeping.

Ugh. I was trying to end the fighting as soon as possible, but we still ended up damaging so many shops.

I'm afraid Mister Wei is going to end up footing the bill again, especially because he's not fond of the li'l Miss's family in the first place.
