Chapter 112: The Team Battle is About to Begin
Two identical System notifications appeared.
This meant that… at least two Reincarnator teams had arrived!
What was going on?
Reincarnator team battle?
When Bai Luo first heard the System notification, he remained calm. The arrival of Reincarnators was not a new occurrence; even S.H.I.E.L.D. had emergency response protocols in place. Their arrival could be predicted, usually coinciding with major events.
When soldiers come, one must block them; when water comes, one must cover it. Whatever storm these Reincarnators intended to stir up, they had countermeasures ready.
But now there were two…
Bai Luo felt a twinge of caution.
Regardless, he needed to resolve the situation with Hydra first.
If Hydra dared to strike at him, they should be prepared for the consequences.
Bai Luo rushed to the abandoned warehouse, but it was empty. His phone rang immediately, and a hoarse voice from a Hydra member instructed him to go to another location.
Without hesitation, Bai Luo dispatched Mizumura Memeko, who skillfully "followed the signal" and swiftly eliminated the hidden Hydra member. Using both Sadako and Mizumura Memeko, they applied a "double interrogation" on the soul level. The Hydra member either refused to speak or reluctantly revealed the destination they wanted to lure Bai Luo to.
It was an abandoned church located in the outskirts of town.
According to the members of Hydra, their plan was to lead Bai Luo on a long detour through Ohio by phone, ensuring that by the time Bai Luo arrived, it would already be too late.
However, what exactly was too late for, and the details of the arrangement, were unclear to the Hydra members due to their low rank.
Without hesitation, Bai Luo sped towards the abandoned church.
The area was indeed desolate, surrounded by a vast expanse of wasteland. The church, built in the style of the 1980s, had numerous holes and exuded a sense of desolation, having been abandoned for many years.
By this time, darkness had completely fallen, but the church door was ajar. Bai Luo pushed it open and walked inside.
Upon entering the dilapidated church, Bai Luo immediately spotted Lorna tied to a chair with her head tilted to one side, clearly in a state of unconsciousness.
Of course, if one were not afraid of this Polaris Sister waking up, it would be unrealistic to find a random place to secure her in modern times. After all, everything around her could become her weapon due to her abilities.
Bai Luo did not rush to wake Lorna. After confirming that she was still alive, he first searched the dimly lit church thoroughly.
To be honest, it felt eerie here, almost like a scene from a horror movie.
However, after searching everywhere, he found nothing at all.
Bai Luo was somewhat surprised—where was Hydra's setup? What were they trying to show him?
Or perhaps he had arrived too early? Was it simply not time for the main event yet?
After searching around, he returned to Lorna's side and checked her briefly. She seemed fine; she had merely fainted. Even her clothes appeared untouched, still reflecting her masculine style.
Bai Luo clearly arrived too early; Hydra's arrangements had not yet begun when he found Lorna.
There was also another possibility: the people from Hydra knew that their plan had been preempted by Bai Luo, and everyone who was originally here had left. After all, if Hydra intended to use Lorna as leverage, why would they leave her alone here?
However, Bai Luo clearly could not wait any longer. He was not a doctor, and with Lorna unconscious, she needed to be taken to the hospital to determine if there were any issues.
At that moment, he directly picked Lorna up in his arms and carried her out of the church.
In the darkness, he sensed something outside the church—a vast expanse of grass shrouded in shadows. Perhaps it was an illusion, but he thought he saw something flash by among the grass. When he focused his gaze, however, there was nothing there.
Bai Luo let out a breath in his heart as he stepped into the car he had rented, still holding Lorna.
Just as he settled into the seat, he received a call from S.H.I.E.L.D.
Nick Fury's tone was heavy, his voice tinged with hoarseness. "We've got a major situation. The Cosmic Cube has been stolen."
Bai Luo had anticipated this but asked nonetheless, "Who took it?"
Nick replied, "Three parties involved in a chaotic battle. One is Loki; the other two are likely the 'Strange People' who attacked New York City a few days ago. They split into two factions—one faction struck first and snatched the Cosmic Cube from Loki, while the second faction appeared last and intercepted the Cosmic Cube before disappearing."
Nick provided a brief overview of the situation and concluded, "This is an urgent matter, Bai Luo. We need to mobilize everyone—there must be no loss of the Cosmic Cube."
With that, Nick hung up.
Bai Luo glanced at Lorna, who was resting in the back seat, but he did not feel anxious.
This time, the two teams of Reincarnators were likely engaged in a full-scale battle, and both groups had targeted the Cosmic Cube right from the start. Clearly, they were coming in strong.
Bai Luo took a deep breath; his calmness had its reasons.
The team battles between Reincarnators are a type of "competitive mode" outside of the Main God Missions issued by the Main God. This mode involves two teams of Reincarnators being thrown into the same world, where the only Main God Mission is a chaotic battle. The two teams must eliminate each other completely to achieve the ultimate goal of survival and complete the team battle.
Therefore, as long as these two teams of Reincarnators are truly engaged in battle, they will inevitably clash again.
Bai Luo cannot simply drop Lorna off at a hospital and rush to Washington. Even if he manages to get there, he might find himself in a state where he can do nothing.
Meanwhile, Lorna is likely still under Hydra's surveillance. Once Bai Luo leaves, they will once again take away the unconscious and defenseless Lorna.
As Bai Luo drives, he contemplates these chaotic thoughts and suddenly says, "Did I say something wrong?"
Sadako replies, "What do you want? What you just said was... that you want to travel and marry Lorna Dane once she wakes up."
Upon hearing this, Bai Luo obediently shuts his mouth. However, he is certain that the System's punishment is slowly fading. He has said quite a bit today, most of which was nonsense altered by the System's punishment, but some of it genuinely expressed what he wanted to convey.
This is clearly a sign that the System's troublesome magic, White Rabbit Candy, is losing its effectiveness.
