3 3 301 DialogEnable Dozens of minutes have passed since you arrived at the rendezvous point.
4 4 301 And you are still alone.
5 5 301 No matter how many times you try to contact the other person through the device, there is no reply.
6 6 301 In situations like this where all connection is lost, it's not hard for your mind to wander to the possibility of a worst-case scenario.
7 7 301 Should you leave first and call for backup? Or should you follow your planned route and try to find the other?
8 8 301 After a bit of thought, you make up your mind.
9 9 301 There's a certain distance from your current location and the exit, and you don't have a firm grasp on the number of Corrupted there are. But the longer time passes, the higher the possibility that the other person gets in danger.
10 10 301 Not to mention you've said things like—
11 11 302 "We'll get out of here together." 12 "I won't leave you behind." 14
12 12 301 You may be strangers, but it is thanks to your cooperation that you're currently here. If you were alone, you would probably be in even more trouble right now.
13 13 17 301 The other person may be in grave danger in this very second, of course you cannot just leave.
14 14 301 You are suddenly reminded of something the other person had said during your interactions.
15 15 301 "You'll get abandoned once you lose value"—as if they were used to this kind of thing happening.
16 16 301 Which makes it even harder to leave them here.
17 17 301 That is when you realize that you don't even know their name.
18 18 302 If we really do meet... 19
19 19 302 AniZhuanchangBegin I'll need to ask for their name first. 21
23 23 301 AniZhuanchangEnd The human runs down the dark corridor.
24 24 301 A gray-haired shadow follows from the floor above.
25 25 301 The human is reflected in a pair of heterochromia eyes. Roland can see how exhausted the figure was, but the gun in their hand never wavered, each step is taken with determination.
26 26 301 Roland has already lost count on how many times he has been surprised in this short period of time. He thought that person would've just left.
27 27 201 1 500334 1
28 28 301 1 Roland You really never fail to amaze me, Commandant. 1
29 29 301 Roland You make me want to see your reaction... when you're betrayed. 1
30 30 301 Roland When you finally realize the person you're risking your life to save is actually the enemy... I wonder what expression you'll show me. 1
31 31 301 Roland Betrayed by your "friend" you had trusted and dying alone in this prison... what an ironic ending for the Gray Raven Commandant. 1
32 32 202 1 1
33 33 301 He traces the human who refuses to give up with his eyes. The device keeps receiving new messages.
34 34 301 The human is heading toward the area with the most Corrupted in the prison. If they get surrounded, it would be impossible for them to escape on their own.
35 35 201 1 500334 7
36 36 301 1 Roland ... 1
37 37 301 AniZhuanchangBegin Roland How troublesome. 1
42 42 301 The device suddenly lights up with a new message after searching in the third area.
43 43 302 Where are you? 44 Are you okay? 44
44 44 301 Comms Device "The thing you are searching for did not exist from the start."
45 45 302 Who are you?! 46 I don't understand. 48
46 46 301 Comms Device "I'm just someone passing by, resolving the problem for you."
47 47 50 301 Comms Device "That person from before is your enemy, I'm just here saving you time."
48 48 301 Comms Device "Need I explain further?"
49 49 301 Comms Device "If the one you want to save is your enemy, would you still save him?"
50 50 302 Enemy? 51
51 51 301 Comms Device "That's right, the enemy. But don't worry, I've already taken care of him for you."
52 52 302 Forgive me for not trusting your one-sided statements. 53
53 53 301 Comms Device "Yet you trust a stranger you've never even met before?"
54 54 302 I trust my own judgment. 55
55 55 302 And I will leave together with the one I'm trying to find. 56
56 56 301 Comms Device "Why?"
57 57 301 AniZhuanchangBegin You don't know under what pretense the person on the other end is asking this question. After some thought, you send your answer.
76 76 301 AniZhuanchangEnd Silence resumes after you sent your last reply.
77 77 301 You may be full of questions right now, but there is no time to waste here.
78 78 301 No matter if you'll find a dangerous enemy or a friend in need, you'll confirm for yourself once and for all.
79 79 301 You are currently in the cell area for felony offenders. The security is even tighter here, with an obvious increase in the number of bionic guards. There are currently four Corrupted loitering in the corridor as if on patrol.
80 80 302 I need to do something about them. 81
81 81 301 Looking around, you lock on to the cell in the middle.
82 82 504 0
83 83 301 You take out a distress flare, ignite it and then throw it toward the cell. It leaves a bright trace of light as it lands in the middle of the cell.
84 84 301 The bright light and heat attract the attention of the Corrupted. They all turn and enter the cell.
85 85 301 Now!
86 86 302 (Shut the cell door!) 87
87 87 401 2 655
88 88 301 With the help of the exoskeleton, you close the heavy door, trapping the Corrupted inside the small cell. They stopped crowding over the flare and start to bash the door with their weapons.
92 92 301 System voice Malicious attack to the facility detected.
93 93 301 System voice Begin scan—Guard T8760, Guard T8761, Guard T8763, Guard T8764 confirmed.
94 94 301 The red laser moves on to you after scanning the four mechanoids.
95 95 301 System voice Unidentified life form detected. You have violated the prison regulations, activating enforcement system.
96 96 301 System voice Execution target locked.
97 97 302 Crap...! 98
98 98 301 You look down at the red dot on your chest, impending doom fills your heart.
99 99 301 Your body reacts first, taking a step back toward your left, but the red dot immediately follows. You also see a thin red laser reflected in the dust in the air.
100 100 301 Tracking the laser to its origin, you notice a red light flash across the upper left of your peripheral vision. You immediately point your gun in that direction and pull the trigger.
119 120 301 1 AniZhuanchangBegin The explosion reverberates through the narrow corridor. You could still feel the light blinding you even though you have your eyes closed.
