Ark: The Cycle of Light and Darkness

After the battle, everyone returned to the city hall and received a very bad news.

The city hall was invaded... Judging from the extent of the damage, at least someone had a small-scale battle here.

The database was almost completely destroyed. Paper materials were scattered all over the floor, as well as more damaged files and cabinets. Just thinking about the time and energy it took to sort out these materials is enough to scare those who have seen this tragic situation. Everyone's scalp was numb.

But here comes the question...who came here specially to carry out such a large-scale battle and destruction?

Why did they choose to fight in a cramped and inconvenient place like the archives room?

"The cross-sections of these scraps of paper are all regular, not torn into pieces... and the cabinet frame was cut off at the waist by a weapon of astonishing length."

Hui Throat squatted down and picked up some pieces of paper on the ground:"The thing that can cause this level of damage is a whip-shaped weapon... If you guessed correctly, it should be a seven-section whip or a nine-section whip equipped with a blade. whip"

"Seven-section whip? What it is?"

Not only Reinhardt, but almost everyone present looked at Gray Throat who was speaking.

"This is a weapon from the East. Both Dongguo and Dayan have records of use. However, in general, Dongguo's weapons should also be inherited from Dayan."

Graythroat rarely spared his words, but explained carefully:"I also heard from an elite operator that this weapon is composed of multiple short lengths of sticks or blades connected end to end. When wielded, It's as flexible as a whip...but difficult to use, and you might even hurt yourself if you're not careful."

Everyone simulated this weapon in their minds, and then nodded in agreement.

"There are also... traces of turning here."

Tatjana also discovered some differences from the few surviving cabinet shelves:"These materials were not originally placed like this... The reader probably flipped through them in a hurry and put them back at any time, but did not pay attention to the original placement."

"So we can preliminarily conclude that someone broke into the archives room here when no one was in the city hall, but maybe it was an internal fight, or maybe a fight broke out after the second group of people entered. Yaye pressed his chin and analyzed:"The opponent obviously didn't want to hide his traces, so he would start a fight here without any scruples... But judging from the situation at the scene, it seems that the fight ended in a draw."

"draw?

Severin frowned:"Why do you see it?""

"Here, here and here. Yaye pointed to three whip marks on the ground and on the cabinet shelf respectively:"These three moves were powerful and heavy, and the marks they caused were much deeper. They were obviously attacks with murderous intent, but no broken weapons were seen at the scene. Metal fragments or blood stains... This shows that even with murderous intent, these three moves failed. The Ursus girl continued her analysis calmly:"The time from when we left to when we came back was not enough for people to hide traces of this level, so I judge that neither side of the battle should have caused harm to the other party, and because we Came back and left early"

"……Is there a way to find out when the trace was created? Tatiana said with some urgency:"If we can find out, maybe we can rely on time to identify some suspects.""

But Yaye just shook his head slightly.

"It's a pity... If there is blood, there will be no problem, but whip marks are very difficult. After all, whips are dead objects, and it is difficult to extract too much useful information from such marks."

"That's it……"

Tatiana lowered her head in disappointment, but the next moment she raised her head as if she realized something, and smiled at everyone:"It doesn't matter, there is no very important part in these materials... and no one was hurt by it, so that's fine. Very ideal situation"

"Why? Sister Tatiana, don’t you want to catch the bad guy who destroyed this place? Suzuran asked doubtfully:"The archives are so damaged, it will be troublesome to sort them out, right?" The Elafia girl smiled and looked at little sister Volper beside her:"Of course I want to catch him, but compared to the situation here, what is more important is what happened before Twelve Tones Street...and I have not officially expressed my gratitude to the Rhode Island operators who have extended a helping hand.——"

"——I'm tired. Tatiana, please come and receive them. I'll take a rest."

Severin suddenly interrupted Tatiana's words, and then left without waiting for Tatiana to say anything.

Gray Throat and the others naturally looked at Yaye with doubtful eyes. The two of them, but Yaye, who knew the inside story, could only look at the stooped old man with complicated eyes, but did not say anything, just shook his head slightly.

"I'm sorry... Chief Severin, I'm afraid the past two days will be... not good. Tatiana looked at everyone in Rhode Island with an apologetic look:"Anyway... in short, forget about the problems in the archives for now, come with me... I will take you to the lounge first."……"

Under the almost forceful leadership of Elafia girl, everyone had no choice but to leave the"crime scene".

Only when he was walking on the last cliff, he turned back, and when no one noticed, he quietly and secretly glanced at the corner of the archives room with his eyes.

Immediately, the Carters operator’s ears perked up and his eyes narrowed.

————Dividing line————

"Mr. Edge - You're... so interesting."

Ni Yan looked at Sakaz next to him. He came to the vicinity of his mercenary station alone, but this man did not show any fear at all.

Or, this man was so arrogant that he thought he could defeat a group of people with his own strength. A well-trained mercenary is the enemy...either, this person's courage has reached an incredible level.

"interesting……? That's really... an interesting comment."

Levi was noncommittal and just responded calmly:"You stopped, indicating that this should be your station... Then Miss Mud Rock, can you reveal to me the secret of your 'secret base'?"

Levi is not joking. This place does not look like a place where people live. Although it is just adjacent to the Twelve-tone Street of Warren Mud, this is the edge of the city covered by a large rock. It does not look like it can be A place where people live.

Mud Rock’s face hidden behind the helmet showed a smile. She seemed to have finally arrived. There were some things that the man in front of her didn’t know.

"Stand down, 'mates'."

With Mud Rock's command, the original"rock" moved - two huge stone dolls slowly moved away from both sides, revealing the hole blocked by the body.

"Welcome to...the Mudrock Team, Mr. Edge."
