Глава 6

Don't burn yourself!

Relax. I can control my own Arts.

...How is it you went before me?

Ace, was some uninfected girl like GreyThroat really worth training?

How much trust did we earn? And how much trust did we give?

If the Doctor...

What are you saying over there?!;......;If I don't believe in Rhodes Island...?

I'm saying bad things about you. To your face.

If there's a Doctor hanging around here, hurry up and come out already. You'll need some fancy Arts to hide behind that wall if you don't want me to find you.

Then I'll string you up on a lamppost as bait for Reunion. Don't worry! You won't die. A few bolts and a knife or two never hurt anyone.

....sigh.

Sigh!

Did Amiya send you?

Whatever. That's what she's best at. And what she's worst at...

I keep trying to remind her, to get her thinking about how she's still just a kid... it always seems to have the opposite effect.

I guess she'll never be able to put down that grown up persona of hers as long as she's the leader of Rhodes Island.

Of course, if it wasn't Amiya who sent you, if you decided to come keep me company all by yourself, I'm not against the idea.

...Hold me back? Haha! I could carry three of you on my back and I wouldn't even notice. One little Dr. {@nickname} can't hold me back.

Hey, look over there.

Go on! Get out of here! We don't want to fight!

Hmph... we won't yield to the Infected!

You're outnumbered! What's the point?

Duty!

Don't blame us for what happens! You see those monsters behind us? Just run already!

What monsters?!

See that Reunion group cutting through the alleys? They're picking at Lungmen's vanguard units. They won't hold for long...

Give me a path.

The usual, or...?

The fastest, of course!

Don't give me that look. It's not like I've never carried you before.

Here we go! Smash Reunion and save the Lungmenites!

第二关（后）

Nnnng...

I'm sorry.

Now, me beating on you doesn't mean we aren't on the same side.

Haha! Yeah, no, seriously. It does. We're not on the same side.

This is Blaze. Come in, Team Blaze-4. Captured a dozen or so Reunion.

Come recover them when you can. Otherwise just hand them over to Lungmen.

Hey, Lungmenite, do me a favor and lower your crossbows. We're all friends here.

You still don't trust me? I saved your life.

Get back...! I mean, y- you're... you're Infected...!

Yeah. Yeah I am.

Ugh.

Come on, Doctor.

Move!

Sigh. All right, Dr. {@nickname}. Hop on. It's faster this way.

Are you sure?

Hah. You've gotten used to my piggyback rides?

Don't look at me like that. How many times have we been treated like this? It's no big deal.

Let's head to Waang Saan Plaza in District 16. If Reunion wants to break through the line, that's where they'll have to do it.

If we're going to wipe out Reunion's main force, we can't let any of them slip through our zone of control.

The way Amiya and the cranky old cop lady worked it out, we'll just be whittling them away little by little until we can finally wipe them all out in one swift stroke.

So we go chase the bad guys out of Waang Saan Tower, herd them into a pincer attack, then meet up with Amiya and crush Reunion once and for all. Piece of cake, right?

...You and your faces. I told you I'm fine.

Fine. If you keep staring at me like that, I'm pulling this cat over.

Hold on tight.

Huh... Look over there.

Isn't that Mephisto's herd? But how. They need Mephisto around, don't they?

Wait a minute. They're... they're killing their own?

...What's going on?

I'm getting vitals, but no reports? And no sign of any distress signals either.

Something's not right...

Shouldn't you be, like, commanding? What are you standing here staring at?

None of your business, 'Little Miss.'

Hey, shouldn't we be sharing intel?

Not this time.

I'm thinking you lost contact with a spy.

Could you not waste your intuition on stuff like this?

At least you own up to it when I guess right. Infected?

Yep.

You think he turned?

Impossible.

You think the impossible happened?

If she turned... Well, I don't even want to think about it.

If she betrayed us, then there's absolutely no one left in Lungmen we can trust.

I think I know who it is.

Wait... Would she really be willing to do this?

Her? Really?!

第三关（前）

Mephisto?

What was that you just unleashed? Your... team is more riled up than before.

They're... they're in pain.

Oh, you can tell? The seeds I planted have finally bloomed.

Nothing to worry about, Faust. They won't hurt us.

You're still catalyzing their infection?

Mephisto... just stop. We have a chance to survive.

I am the only one who can perform such Arts! And it is only through my Arts that we can escape!

You saw with your own eyes. If we push through like this, the L. G. D. will kill us all long before we can reach the escape tunnel in the slums!

Have you ever seen those weapons before? Nobody in Chernobog had weapons like that!

This is their city, they know it far better than us! Where did they come from? Where do they disappear to?! There's no way we can take them on with this few of us!

The Chernobog Ursus are too weak... Lungmen treats us like an army, but we're no army. We're just a group of like-minded individuals trying to survive!

Quiet down. Morale is low enough.

But my herd will never waver in the face of such challenges!

...not to mention all the Reunion members who just joined us.

FrostNova will definitely help us.

FrostNova? That FrostNova?

Hah! Hahah! As if she didn't take her Yetis and betray us?

Mephisto!

If not, we can definitely crush our enemies with such strength!

But even if they did turn against us, I can't blame them for doing what it takes to survive.
