Chapter 95 02.0095: "Date A Live (Part )"
Farida felt a darkness in front of her eyes, her throat swallowed, and a bitter taste surged in her mouth.
She had never experienced such a feeling before, this... indescribable bitterness.
Her eyes were wide open, fixed on Thei's clasped hands. If she were a psyker, she would have released a bolt of lightning with her gaze.
"Ah, let me introduce you to Mr. Horatio Cochrane..."
"Of course I know his name."
Farida forced herself to maintain a respectable smile as an aristocrat. She walked forward and took Horatio's arm, squeezing him a little uncomfortably. "Mr. Horatio has a date with me today. I'm sorry I can't keep you company."
"Miss Hood, aren't we... out here to carry out a mission?" Horatio asked Farida with a wry smile on his face.
Farida glared at him, still smiling.
Horatio turned his head away. He was very smart to deliberately reveal the real purpose of his coming out so that the quarrel between the two parties would not be blamed on him.
"Oh, so you two are not on a date, but have a mission. Well, Mr. Horatio, see you later, we can make an appointment for a time when we don't have any missions and go shopping together, okay?" Thei asked with a smile, hugging his other arm.
Farida raised the corners of her mouth and looked at Horatio with a smile, and he felt nails pinching his arm.
"I wish I had time. You know the Imperial Navy is very busy and has no time for itself." He said regretfully, and once again chose a clever way of speaking to pull himself out of the whirlpool.
"Then I look forward to your next free time. Please don't forget that I made the appointment first." Thei still maintained her dignified and lovely smile towards Horatio, then opened her eyes and looked into Farida's eyes with a smile.
Farida felt her chin trembling slightly and her teeth itched with anger, but her noble dignity made her try her best to maintain her composure and smile tightly.
"Please go back as soon as possible, Miss Peru, it's not safe here." Horatio warned again.
"Yes, Mr. Horatio. I will obey you."
Miss Peru smiled warmly and said, "See you later~"
Horatio smiled bitterly, he felt like there was a ticking bomb next to him that was about to explode.
The two noble ladies stared at each other for a long time, one glaring at the eldest brother angrily, the other smiling with a cold look, until their figures disappeared from each other's sight.
Thei saw the opera sign and asked her bride, "Ms. Yin, do you like opera?"
"Uh... I haven't seen it."
"Today there's a performance by my favorite female opera singer. Do you want to watch it together?"
"Ah... emmm, I want to."
"Then let's go to the opera house together~" Tei took Yin Shuyao's arm, not caring at all about the difference in status between them.
upstairs.
"Hey, Mr. Horatio Cochrane. What's your relationship with Miss Peru?" Farida's voice deepened.
"Just friends." Horatio shook his head, not meeting her eyes.
But even without looking, he knew that there was probably murder in her eyes right now.
"I see. I thought you had developed a secret crush on Miss Peru during the time you were gone." Farida used her words to poke Horatio cleverly.
Horatio's attention was focused on the latest intelligence and he didn't pay any attention to what Farida said.
"That's right. How can the daughter of a brigadier general be compared with the daughter of a major general? Although I am nothing but a..." Farida said to herself in a sarcastic tone.
"Miss Hood," Horatio interrupted.
Farida looked angrily into Horatio's eyes, and his gaze became extremely cold and terrifying, like cold ice.
"It's time for us to take action." Horatio's smile was full of coldness.
-
underground garage.
Two vans drove slowly towards us.
"There's someone in front!" the thug in the driver's seat yelled.
"It's a naval officer, run him over!" The glaring light of the headlights shone over him, but Horatio's bicorne hat was standing upright, so the light couldn't reach his eyes.
[+Farida, shoot+]
Whoosh! A whistling sound of wind passed by Horatio's ears.
puff--
Blood mist splattered on the windshield and back seat of the first van, and the vehicle began to lose control and ran over the barrier.
With a scream, the first car overturned, and the second car followed closely and hit it, turning the first car upside down.
The cultists in the next car rushed out yelling, and Horatio's naturally vertical fingers moved slightly.
At that perfect second, he took the revolver out of the holster at his waist, slammed the hammer at an extremely fast speed, swung the gun to the left, and the cylinder automatically ejected the empty shell. In the blink of an eye, a new round of naval shells was loaded by the quick loader.
The person who got off the car had his limbs torn into pieces, blood splattered dozens of meters away, and he staggered to the ground.
Two more cars came from the side, and when passing the intersection, an armored vehicle from the Ministry of Justice suddenly appeared and rammed into the car, directly overturning it, and then blocking the direction of the next car.
A dozen big men in heavy black armor jumped out from behind the car, quickly picked up shotguns and shot everyone in the car to death. The whole set of actions was smooth and without any delay.
"Thank you for your hard work, Arbitrator Javert. To be more precise, it should be the Chief Arbitrator." Horatio said with a smile.
The tall man walked over proudly carrying a shotgun, and this time there was no tension between the two men as there was during their last meeting.
One of them represented the Imperial Law Department, and the other represented the Imperial Navy. The two of them went from being law enforcers and prisoners to guards who jointly defended the empire.
"You are already a Navy petty officer."
Arbitrator Javert snorted, "Humph, you really can't judge a person by his appearance."
"You're advancing pretty fast. According to intelligence, there were only four vehicles attacking this place, with a total of 30 thugs, all of whom have been confirmed dead."
He just finished speaking.
boom! ! ——
There was a huge explosion that could be heard even from a distance, and Horatio felt a vibration under his feet, which was from the direction of the opera house.
【+What happened? Report the situation! +】Horatio called the person who was supervising the opera house.
[+Report to the Sergeant Major! The thugs used a suicide bomber to forcibly blow up the Ministry of Justice's car and the roadblock. Now six or seven cars of thugs are rushing in. They are... Dadada, puff! Cough cough cough... Heh uh...+]
The communication was not disconnected, and Horatio could clearly hear the sound of the person coughing up blood due to a pierced throat. The sound did not last long, and soon only bursts of gunfire and screams were left in the communicator.
"The defenses of the opera house have been breached," Horatio said to Javert, and immediately began to think of emergency countermeasures in his mind.
"How is this possible! How can they break through us..."
"The first one was a suicide bomber. This convoy was supposed to go to the starport, where we had deployed defense turrets, but now they are rushing towards the opera house."
"They changed their plans! I will crush the heads of these bastards!" Javert cursed with gritted teeth.
"I don't know if someone leaked the plan to them, or if they found out that the starport's defenses were tight and changed the attack location. Anyway, we have to go to the opera house to deal with it immediately."
"Horatio, what's wrong?" Farida ran over.
"We'll talk on the way, get in the car."
Fortunately, out of the 88 attack plans of the cultists, only this one happened; the others were all silently intercepted and blocked.
The Second Company of the Blood Angels, returning from the expedition, is resting.
Horatio immediately summoned the nearest Hell Squadrons 13 and 12, together with the Chief Arbitration Team of the Ministry of Justice, as the handling force for this terrorist attack.
The Imperial Navy will send its most advanced equipment to help the Hell's Edge deal with this incident.
