Our enemy...
Aoki nodded in agreement. At this point, there was basically nothing left to hide.
At that very moment, a warning siren sounded aboard the Overlord Impact.
"It's Mizutani." Doi immediately noticed the change in the outside world, and then, at Aoki's signal, opened the entrance to the Haten Impact.
The next second, the participants, whose wills were imprinted, appeared one by one beside Aoki, all looking at the man who flew in from the entrance.
A humanoid figure draped in a purple star-patterned robe flew in from outside the gate, accompanied by five participants.
There were six people in total. Lin Feng immediately recalled the situation he saw when he entered this mission world. There were ten people in total. Apart from the one hidden in the Foundation, there were only three people on Aoki's side.
"Aoki..."
As Mizutani spoke, the hood that had been covering his face lifted, revealing a face with only a single vertical line, resembling a star.
"Is this your solution?"
A spinning dark star appeared in the vertical lines of his face. The dark star vibrated and emitted a sound, like the sound of a celestial body when a star spins and shatters, which gradually became deafening in everyone's ears.
"Get them to help you?"
"Then what are you doing?" Aoki questioned the other party in return, the hollow feeling like an echo that pierced everyone's hearts and could not be dispelled.
"My affairs are none of your business." Mizutani slowly approached, and Dark Star behind the vertical line let out a slight rage: "We already have enough trouble. If you drag these people into it, can you really control the outcome?"
"My affairs are none of your business!" Aoki said sternly, immediately dispelling the intimidation emanating from Dark Star: "Hmph, do you think you can control the current situation?"
Control?
No one knew the smile in Mizutani's heart, yet it seemed as if everyone had heard it.
"Aoki, Kaworu is in their hands, isn't he?" Mizutani suppressed his anger and instead showed a hint of anticipation: "Let them start the Third Human Instrumentality Project ahead of schedule. Neither Ohno nor the Foundation can control us!"
As he spoke, Mizutani leaned closer to Aoki and softened his tone: "I've made contact with the people in the workshop district. Once the new cycle starts, they will help us re-secure the entrance to the furnace and prevent the Foundation from invading it."
"how?"
The words, though seemingly a question, carried an undeniable tone. Mizutani placed his hand on Aoki's shoulder and said, word by word, "Catch...them!"
The participants who had followed Mizutani immediately dispersed, and the five of them blocked Lin Feng and the others' way out, closing in a few steps.
"stop!"
Aoki suddenly roared, "It's not your place to give orders here!"
"Hahaha..." Mizutani withdrew his hand, then laughed a few times: "Aoki, we don't have much time left. Without the help of the workshop district, it's impossible to snatch the furnace back from Ohno and Tiberius!"
"Is that so?" Aoki retorted, his eyes flashing like blades, piercing Mizutani's laughter and rendering him speechless.
"good!"
Mizutani quickly retreated: "Since that's the case... I won't say anything more, but if you change your mind, I'm always ready to serve you!"
"Walk!"
At his command, the participants who had surrounded Lin Feng and the others immediately returned to Shui Gu's side, leaving behind their cold gazes, and flew away from the direction they had come in.
Just then, Lin Feng and the others were connected by a mental force.
"Speaking of which... whatever, should we leave them here?" Shizo watched Mizutani's departing figure, a hint of hesitation appearing in his eyes.
“They can’t keep us here…” Lin Feng glanced at Qingmu: “If they wanted to keep us here, they would have done it already… The people outside are just hoping we’ll cause chaos.”
Si Zang asked, "Then what do we do next? Shall we go to the Foundation's camp and capture Dongshan Tie?"
"We have to go..." Lin Feng pondered, "This isn't necessarily a bad thing for us..."
At this moment, Sun He reminded them, "The participants in the workshop area are outside..."
Participants in the workshop area?
them?
"Thank goodness I didn't make a move... I was really itching to fight just now. Those few were all so close together, and they weren't even defending themselves!" Si Zang took a deep breath: "Oh dear, they did it on purpose!"
“It was intentional.” Sun He also gasped.
"You guys are really thick-skinned. I can already see there's a problem..." Si Tao said disdainfully, "Besides, even Qingmu couldn't suppress the other party under these circumstances... so it's better not to cooperate at all."
"But in doing this, they've seen through our purpose..." Tang Hong said with a half-smile, "Whatever, let's just have a fight. We can't keep holding back forever."
Let's fight?
Lin Feng did consider it seriously, and it wasn't entirely unacceptable.
"Brother He, why don't you take them with you?"
"Me? What for?" Sun He immediately felt a chill run down his spine: "Me, lead them to fight? What are you trying to do?"
Lin Feng tentatively asked, "Hmm, are you taking the others to cause trouble for Mizutani?"
"What do you want to do?" Sun He was silent for a few seconds, then glanced at Tang Hong.
He wasn't blaming Tang Hong, but if they were going to pretend, they should at least do it convincingly. They couldn't just sit idly by and watch others cause trouble; that would obviously be malicious.
"It's nothing, just playing around." Lin Feng said casually, "We can do whatever we want with this. If you all want to get involved, why don't you test Mizutani's strength first?"
"Oh?" Sun He had a somewhat appreciative thought: "What about the participants in the outer workshop area?"
Lin Feng flipped his hand and said with a smile, "Simple. We haven't given them the World Beads we collected yet. You go and test them, and I'll go return the beads."
"etc!"
Si Cang suddenly stepped over the group and stood before Lin Feng, a smile on his face. Through their mental links, he chuckled, "Whatever, or... how about I take care of this?"
“Of course, when we make our move, you’ll distract the people in the workshop area. If they make their move, you’ll also stop most of them immediately.” Lin Feng agreed without hesitation: “The most important thing is that you must be intimidating. The moment they come out, you must use your Ba Hui Eye, Heavenly Dao Power, and True and False Illusions to destroy them.”
"I definitely believe you." Tang Hong patted Si Zang hard, then couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth into a smile, and gestured to Sun He with his eyes towards the door leading out.
Shall we get started?
"This humble Taoist..." Si Zang felt a chill run down his spine. Before he could finish speaking, Yu, who had been silent, left a soft laugh beside him.
Just then, Sun He nodded, and Tang Hong, having received the message, immediately broke into a wide smile and charged towards Mizutani and the others outside the door: "I've... put up with you guys for so long!!"
boom!
An explosion rang out, and Si Tao, Wen Chen, and Yu rushed out as well. It wasn't until Si Zang reluctantly followed that Sun He, who had remained in place, mentioned to Lin Feng, "Qingmu is watching you."
"Um."
Lin Feng nodded. The only problem with taking action against Mizutani now is that Aoki doesn't want to put everything out in the open yet. At least he won't reveal his true colors to Mizutani until they truly begin to cooperate.
After glancing at the people waiting in the workshop area outside, Lin Feng walked towards Qingmu first: "Do you think the participants in the workshop area will help him?"
Aoki's gaze shifted, and just as he caught sight of Lin Feng, the latter left behind a sentence: "When I return, I can hand over Nagisa Kaoru to you."
