Ten minutes later, Bai Wei arrived at his destination for this trip—Lyra's gear train station.
Every gear train in Lyra started from here. It was also a very characteristic building, looking like a huge drum bag cut horizontally or a heart.
And in a sense, it was indeed the heart of Lyra City.
Bai Wei walked into the building alone, where only his footsteps could be heard in the deserted space.
Obviously, the staff mbers had also been evacuated in advance.
This was the rule in Lyra: once an uncontrolled crisis was discovered, personnel within a certain radius must evacuate imdiately, before the crisis could be resolved.
And Bai Wei's actions had already been enough to make this city, long accustod to peace, deem it an uncontrolled crisis.
That's what Bai Wei wanted.
He had co here openly to verify sothing.
Through his gaze and perception, Bai Wei arrived at a room in the deepest part of the station.
He felt that what he wanted to find was in this room.
However, a heavy tal lock was placed outside the room, which made Bai Wei frown. This was not the easy-to-break lock from outside the archives at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, this was a special, larger lock.
Without a key, the only option would be to cut it open with a sharper blade.
But that was going to be a hassle. Gerard had not brought the damaged chainsaw sword when he left the house, and Bai Wei had not expected he would encounter difficulty with a lock even after he had descended.
Where to find one... Hm?
His eyebrows suddenly lifted.
It seed there was no need to go looking after all.
A series of footsteps echoed from behind him.
Bai Wei put down the lock in his hand and slowly turned around to face the "acquaintances" who had suddenly appeared behind him, speaking indifferently, "I'm quite surprised you managed to find this place."
Chamos was staring at Bai Wei, his teeth almost grinding to bits.
"Gerard!"
"This ti, you won't escape!"
Hearing Chamos's words, Bai Wei wasn't in a hurry. Instead, he smiled, "Yes, I can't escape."
This smile made Chamos uneasy.
He had known Gerard for a year, but had never seen Gerard smile like this before today.
Such mockery, sarcasm, and... disdain.
"Indeed..." Chamos felt more certain as he slowly gripped his weapon tighter, "you damn madman, have you finally stopped pretending?"
"Damn madman... Heh, so that's how you've always seen him," Bai Wei "tsked" and shook his head, seemingly in regret or in pity.
But more than anything, it was still mockery.
"What? You still want to play dumb?" Chamos stared fixedly at Bai Wei, his voice growing louder, "You can't fool anyone this ti, Gerard! Today is your day to die!"
But at the sa ti, he was quickly making hand signals behind his back, telling the Tenth Squad following him to quietly spread out into formation.
Of course, this scene could not escape Bai Wei's eyes.
The Tenth Squad was an elite group within the Skeleton Corps, a whole squad, minus the squad leader, Kude.
They were also well-ard; Bai Wei could see soone had already aid a loaded automatic fire pistol at him.
Such a well-trained squad was clearly not so easy to handle as the Bone Knights from the earlier checkpoints.
Moreover, Bai Wei didn't have much ti to waste now; he could feel that Gerard was about to wake up soon.
In that case, he had to be a little more serious, to end this quickly.
"You've been saying he's a damn madman," Bai Wei began slowly, "so now that he's truly gone mad before you, why are you so afraid?"
Chamos said coldly, "Why should I be afraid?"
"Is that so?"
Bai Wei's pupils focused sharply, his star-like eyes seeming to etch themselves into the heart of every person present.
Then he said with a light laugh,
"Then why,"
"are you trembling?"
