Chapter 72 02.0072: "Leave no one alive"

It's 10pm at Tyra time.

Since the last bloody incident, this short stretch of road is currently under a strict curfew, with only passers-by allowed, and businesses and pedestrians not allowed to stay, in stark contrast to the other brightly lit streets next to it.

The guests hurried to leave before curfew, and the noisy brothel temporarily quieted down.

dong dong dong.

The sound of steady and heavy footsteps echoed in the sandy and gravelly corridor, and four pairs of deep red round eyes emerged from the darkness, like demons walking in hell.

[+Those with poisonous spider armbands are their people. There are 10 on the second floor, 15 on the first floor, and the others are uh... those people. There are 32 people in total. +] A groaning sound came from the communicator.

【+Learn+】

[+Leave no one alive+] Horatio issued an unlimited rule of engagement, which was the power and responsibility given to him by the Rose Knot of the Inquisition.

Horatio raised the data tablet on his arm, and the auspicious detection radar of the auspicious instrument kept rotating behind his right shoulder, quickly marking all the original white dots with red.

He and his teammates wore the rarest and most ferocious-looking style of Orm's Shield helmet - the eagle-head type.

A skull pattern was painted on the face, adding an even more terrifying layer to the already scary helmet.

They wore only unmarked carapace armor, without any unnecessary equipment, and covered themselves with a hooded robe to hide their identity.

Stun grenades, tactical knives and Lucius-type Hell Pistols will be the main equipment in this indoor clearing operation.

"Oh, those rich fat pigs finally left. Now it's my turn to have some fun."

A member of the Venomous Spider Gang impatiently unbuckled his belt, and seductive giggles came from the bed.

Then the lights in the room went out.

The woman lay on the bed with her eyes closed, but what awaited her was not the man's warm body, but a blazing laser.

Louise pulled the trigger nonchalantly.

"Cough, ugh! Ugh!" Horatio covered the man's mouth, and the Cadia trench knife in his hand mercilessly cut his throat and stabbed into his forehead.

【+Clear+】

He pushed the body onto the bed and reported through the communication device in the Shield of Orm helmet.

Then he glanced indifferently through the thermal imaging at the woman whose half face had been melted by the high-energy laser of the Hell Pistol, with no ripples in his heart.

[+Horatio and I cleared the second floor, while Fideo and Leidos cleared the first floor+] Louise issued the combat order.

Then she quickly cut off the power to the entire building.

"Why is the power out again? Didn't we just replace the distribution unit? Go check it out." A voice came from the first floor.

Darkness is only the enemy's weakness and the vanguard's ally.

"Ugh!" The man who walked up to the second floor was stabbed in the forehead by Horatio, and his body was dragged into the empty room.

As he stood up, a man walked out of the next room and Horatio quickly raised his hand and shot him in the head.

Under the huge high temperature energy, even the blood gushing from the wound was quickly evaporated without splashing onto the wall.

Louise followed closely behind, killing another Spider Gang member and a panicked prostitute in the room.

"What's going on? The electricity isn't working yet? What a bummer."

In the distance, an armed man walked out with his trousers lifted up.

Whoosh! The monomolecular knife flew out of Horatio's hand and hit him right in the mouth, nailing him to the wall.

"Gurgling——" A desperate scream before suffocation was soon heard from the first floor.

"What's going on! Where are the people? They are all dead and why are they not saying anything?" The young leader in charge of managing this industry shouted, but no one responded.

The little leader felt a little uneasy. In the past, he would come whenever he was called, but why was it so quiet outside today?

He didn't even put on his pants, pushed the woman on the bed away, and picked up the smuggled gun tremblingly.

When he looked up, a figure appeared outside the door. The searchlight from the street outside shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting his tall shadow on the wooden floor of the room.

The scary round eyes glowing red were staring at him blankly, and the horrible and extremely suffocating sound of the respirator made him feel hot and wet under his body.

"Ah!" The little leader's legs couldn't stop shaking, and he completely forgot that he had a gun in his hand.

Jiong——! Jiong——!
Two golden lasers flashed across the room, followed by the sound of a body falling to the ground.

A marine soldier standing guard on the street, Zhong Si, turned around and caught a glimpse of a strange fire in the house. [+This is Gamma 01, there are shops operating without following the rules, it looks like a brothel, close them immediately+]

Suddenly, a signal from the Imperial Navy Fleet Military Intelligence Command was forcibly accessed.

【+Sir! +】

[+I am Captain Lord Sterling. A planetary garbage truck and a furniture truck are about to enter your duty area. Let them pass immediately+]

[+Yes, ah, report to the captain, I just saw...+]

[+You didn't see anything, corporal, continue on duty and perform your duties+] Captain Sterling's voice was very rational and cold.

[+Yes...! +] The corporal immediately responded. He already knew that this matter was not something he should interfere with.

Just as the captain said, a garbage truck from Abyss Port, which couldn't be more common, slowly drove into the curfew area, and the marines on duty, Zhongji, made way.

The corporal looked and saw the vehicle slowly stop in front of a brothel.

Several people dressed as ordinary laborers came out, wrapped something in sheets and cloth, and threw it into the garbage truck.

He activated the image magnifying device of the Shield of Orm and actually saw bare feet sticking out from under the sheets.

The corporal turned his back tactfully, and the garbage truck operator pressed the button.

Gada Gada——

The back of the garbage truck flipped over and compressed, crushing the garbage and the things that had just been thrown in into solid small cubes.

After the garbage truck drove away, a truck carrying wooden furniture slowly stopped.

The next morning, the bloodstains in the house were cleaned up, and the stench of cheap rouge was replaced by a fresh and pleasant fragrance.

The interior layout has been completely renewed, with a new solid wood dining table and a carved bar replacing the messy bed. The previous worldly feel has been removed, and the style is simple yet elegant.

Horatio stood in the attic on the second floor, looking through the French windows at the busy streets again.

"This looks like a nice bar and club. Who would have thought there was an intelligence hub underneath?"

Louise, in a shirt and windbreaker, walked behind Horatio and watched as the men outside re-hung the 'Workers Club' sign.

"Thank you for your hard work, team leader."

Horatio, wearing an English peaked cap, smiled and saluted Louise.

Horatio then pushed open the club's bulletproof glass door and walked out onto the street.
-
Yin Shuyao didn't look happy. She wiped the bar counter silently. The number of customers outside the door was visibly reduced.

"What's up? Are you worried?" A black-haired young man wearing an English peaked cap and a tweed coat stepped onto the seat in front of the bar: "Give me a martini."

"Is it you?" The sadness on Yin Shuyao's face disappeared immediately, replaced by shock.

After not seeing each other for a while, this young man has become more calm and stern than when we first met.

Moreover, although it was such a warm smile, she actually felt an unspeakable terror from him.

This cold leadership temperament that penetrates into the bone marrow silently suppresses everything around it.

"How did the exam go?"

“I’ve been admitted.”

"Yes, it seems that with the martial law and curfew, the number of customers here has decreased a lot." Horatio looked around and wiped his hands calmly with wet wipes.

"As a restaurant business, late night snacks account for a large proportion, but now we have to close at night, and we are losing customers. In addition, the Guild Alliance has increased the rent here. We lost 5 in the last month alone."

Horatio looked at the account book next to the girl and said slowly, "I have a property just across the street. Now that I have entered Zhongsi College, I don't need it anymore. I can rent it to you at a lower price."

The girl's eyes sparkled: "Sir, which one is the opposite one?"

Horatio raised his thumb and pointed back.

The girl suddenly blushed: "But... isn't that a brothel?"

"A group of thieves once stole it from me, but now I have it back. Do you want to go and see it?" Horatio drank the wine in his glass, put the money on the table and pushed it to the girl.

Yin Shuyao followed Horatio half-believingly to the tall building. The floor-to-ceiling windows no longer showed the dancing sexy girl, but exquisite dining tables and chairs.

"If you want to rent it, you can use the equipment, bar, tables and chairs as you like. However, I have one request."
