Chapitre 23: Chapter 23
Having dealt with the four terrorists, I immediately called Miss Moshinsky to come out of her hiding place.
And of course, I also told her not to look at the corpses of those terrorists.
Even so, Miss Moshinsky kept glancing at the corpses.
"I told you not to look at them, didn't I?"
"Sorry, I couldn't help it."
She answered me while trembling and lowering her head, seeing that, I just shook my head and said.
"Forget about it, from the information I got from these bastards, they gathered the hostages from the VIP room to VIP room No.10. Maybe your sister is there, Miss Moshinsky."
"Really?"
"Like I said, just maybe. It's possible that this bastard is lying."
Hearing my words, Miss Moshinsky's face looked a little better.
"So let's hurry up, we shouldn't waste time here as much as possible."
"Okay."
After that, we started walking slowly and carefully.
Honestly, I don't know if what that guy said was the truth or not. In my opinion, he was mixing lies and the truth, so what he said might have some truth to it.
For now, I'll just head to the place where they gathered the hostages, who knows there might be people who know the situation better there.
In any case, my initial goal is to make sure nothing happens to the Emperor and the two women from Mars Colony, they are important characters to make sure Parasyte cannot take over Earth or Mars.
If they die before the Parasyte invasion happens, something worse than what happened in the novel could happen in this world. Although the possibility of something happening to them is very small, I still can't risk it.
However, right now, my goal is not just them, but I also want to save Ira, I don't want that girl to suffer the same trauma that happened in the novel.
If the thing I'm afraid of really happens to her, then...
F*ck!
I don't even want to imagine it.
After walking for a while, Miss Moshinsky called out from behind me.
"Sir Denzelnas?"
"What's wrong?"
She paused for a moment like she was hesitating.
"Did you kill them?"
Ah... About that, huh.
"I did."
".... Have you ever killed someone before?"
"I have."
"How did you do it?"
"It's simple, I didn't consider them as someone."
"....."
Although I felt that Miss Moshinsky still had questions, she didn't speak again after that.
*********
A short while later, we made it to the room mentioned by the terrorist. Unlike the other VIP rooms, the door to the room was tightly closed, as if someone was holding it from the inside.
"Miss Moshinsky, hide in that room. I'll come over to check the room, I'll call you when it's safe."
" Okay, please be careful, Sir Denzelnas."
To prevent Miss Moshinsky from getting hurt, I told her to hide in a room far enough away from the room before I slowly approached the room.
When I got close enough, I turned on my thermal vision, and what the terrorist said earlier was true, seems like they had indeed gathered all the hostages in this place.
However, the number of guards was about twice what the terrorist said, I had expected him to lie anyway.
There were about 2 dozen terrorists guarding the hostages in this place. And there were 5 of them right behind the door.
That's really annoying.
I then walked closer to the room again to check the door.
When I checked the door, I noticed that they had closed the door with a portable lock that could only be opened from the inside. I could force it open, but if I did that I would be immediately shot from inside.
And as much as possible, I didn't want to fight in front of the hostages, there was a chance they could be hit by stray bullets or something, I didn't want any innocent people to get hurt because of my selfishness.
In other words, I should lure those terrorists out of there, and finish them off one by one.
This was going to be so annoying.
I sighed, then knocked on the door of the room.
*Knock* *Knock*
After knocking on the door to that room, I quickly walked to the door of the room next door.
When I arrived at the door of that room, I stopped and didn't enter. I had to wait for one of the terrorists to come out and check.
Through my thermal vision, I could see them talking to each other, as if they were discussing who would come out to check.
Shortly after, I could see two of them open the door and step out, just as they did so, I also stepped into the room in front of me while making my footsteps sound as loud as possible.
I could see through my thermal vision that the two terrorists who came out had noticed my presence in this room, but the two of them didn't go straight to my room to check.
They went back inside and brought 4 more people before starting to walk towards my room carefully.
Great, because of their caution, I now have to face 6 people at once.
Well, whatever, I guess that's probably better.
I then quickly fired up my grappling hook and hung from the ceiling in front of the door while waiting for them to enter.
"Moving in."
"Moving."
A few seconds later, the six of them entered.
I tried not to make the slightest noise while looking at their weapons.
2 ARs and 4 SMGs, all laser-type weapons.
I had to deal with the two AR users first, as they were the only ones who would be a problem for my electromagnetic shield.
"Check the toilet."
"Copy that."
One of the AR users was guarding the entrance, and the other was walking to the restroom with an SMG user, probably thinking I was hiding there.
One of the SMG users was below me while accompanying the AR user who was guarding the door, the remaining two of them were taking cover near the transparent glass where the residents of the VIP room usually watched.
Well, I guess it was time to show myself.
"Who's there?"
One of the terrorists checking the restroom said that while pointing his gun at the restroom door.
I then grabbed the knife that was in the knife sheath on my thigh before releasing my grappling hook and dropping down onto one of the terrorists who was underneath me,
I pressed him to the floor and stabbed the back of his neck with my knife.
That's one.
"You f*cker!"
The terrorist beside him, the AR user quickly tried to shoot me, but before he could do so, I spun around and stood up then grabbed the muzzle of his gun before pulling him to me, and stabbed his neck using my expendable blade.
That's two.
After killing the man, I immediately fired my grappling hook at the second AR user who was in front of the toilet door before pulling him towards me to use him as a shield.
I then wrapped my arms around the man's neck from behind, and picked up his pistol.
"Open fire!"
Seeing that, the other three did not remain silent, even though I was using their friend as a shield, they still fired at me.
What great solidarity.
A hail of gunfire came straight at me, my electromagnetic shield could withstand it, plus with the man in front of me as a shield, I was already very safe.
I also fired my pistol at them.
But it was useless, my gun couldn't penetrate through their electromagnetic shield.
I hadn't thought that they also had electromagnetic shields.
Realizing that, I fired my gun continuously at the lone terrorist on the left, while continuing to advance towards the two terrorists in front of me.
When I got close enough, I threw my gun at the one in front of the restroom, it hit him in the head and knocked him to the floor.
After that, I kicked the terrorist I was using as a shield at one of the terrorists in front of me as hard as I could.
And just as he dodged the terrorist I kicked at him, I also predicted the direction he would dodge and charged at him while using the two thrusters at my waist.
Because he had just dodged, he couldn't dodge my attack, and was hit by my tackle which sent him flying into the sofa and then into the wall.
His friend who was beside him tried to hit me with his gun, but I easily parried it with my left hand, and stabbed him with my expendable blades.
That's three or maybe four or five, I don't know if the person I used as a shield and the man who was thrown into the wall are still alive or not.
When I turned around to look at the terrorist I had thrown with the gun earlier, he was already standing up and trying to pull out a grenade from the belt around his waist.
Seeing that, I fired my grappling hook at the sofa beside me, and swung it with all my might at the terrorist as he tried to throw the grenade.
Due to the momentum of the sofa hitting him, he was thrown into the toilet with the grenade, and about 5 seconds later, the toilet exploded.
Well, that one is definitely dead.
Alright, the first wave is over.
I should get out of here soon, their other friends will definitely come to check this place out.
However, before that, I'll take their weapons first.
I then took 2 grenades, 2 sticky grenades and one smoke grenade from the corpses of those terrorists, I actually still wanted to take more, but my pilot suit belt could only carry 5.
By the way, the grenades in this world were round like small balls, and to activate them, I had to press the red button in the center.
And the sticky grenade was shaped like a coin, a very thick coin, to activate it just like a normal grenade, I just had to press the button in the center.
As for the smoke grenade, well, the smoke grenade is like a small tube, and to activate it I have to press the button above or below it.
All of these grenades took 5 seconds after being activated before exploding.
After picking up the grenades, I also picked up a laser type ARe that looked very similar to an AK-47. I then checked the bullets, after making sure the laser gun bullets were still full, I immediately moved towards the room in front of this room.
I went into the room in front of that room, and hid there.
I then waited for the other terrorists to come to check that room, I was sure they would check it, after all, they must have been aware of the laser gun blasts and grenade explosions from earlier.
I also heard radio chatter from the communication device of one of the terrorists I killed, so they would definitely send some more people to check the room.
I turned on my thermal vision while leaning against the wall near the door and looked towards VIP room no.10.
Sure enough, just as I expected. I could see them slowly coming out and walking towards the room where I killed their colleagues earlier, but this time, they sent 12 people.
Honestly, that's a lot more than I expected. I thought they would only send 6 people just like before.
I patiently waited for all of them to enter, however, not all of them went into the room, they left 4 people outside to stand guard by the door.
This time they were really very careful.
After confirming that all the terrorists were in the positions I wanted with my thermal vision, I quickly walked over to the door of my room and activated the two grenades I had picked up earlier.
One thousand, two thousand, three thousand...
After counting to 3 seconds in my mind, I presented myself at the door of the room then threw one grenade into the room, and one grenade for the terrorists standing guard outside the room before I returned to cover behind the wall next to the door.
"Oh shit."
"Grena-"
*Boom*
Just moments later, the grenade exploded.
I could hear several terrorists screaming, but the grenade had already exploded before they could even finish their screams.
Right after that, I readied my AR laser gun and immediately went to the room to confirm their situation.
As I entered the room, I could see 3 terrorists who could still move, two of whom were lying on the floor, and another one was trying to stand up.
I quickly shot the terrorist who was trying to stand up first, then walked over to one of the terrorists lying on the floor.
"Son of bitch."
He said that while pulling out his gun and shooting at me, my electromagnetic shield could deal with his laser bullets easily, so I let him fire a few shots, before blowing his head off with my AR.
I then walked towards the other terrorist lying on the floor.
"No, please. Don't kill me."
Unlike the terrorist earlier who tried to fight back, this time he begged for mercy.
Even so, I still aimed my laser gun at him.
"Nooo!"
*Piuw*
Then shot that guy.
And that was it, the second wave was over.
I then turned on my thermal vision again and looked towards VIP room no.10.
From what I could see, there were only 5 guards left, 2 right in front of the door, and the other 3 were scattered, one in the upper left corner, one in the upper right corner, and the other in the lower right corner and the hostages were in the lower left corner in front of the restroom door.
Given the number of them left, I didn't think they would send anyone here again this time.
I then went out into the hallway, and headed towards the door of VIP room no.10.
I approached the door as quietly as possible without making a sound, and when I arrived in front of the door, I immediately attached the two sticky grenades to the door.
After activating the two grenades, I immediately took my distance and waited for them to explode while watching the movements of the terrorists in the room.
*Boom*
The moment the sticky grenade exploded, the blast sent the door flying and hit the two terrorists in front of the door, leaving them lying on the floor.
I could also hear some of the hostages screaming.
I quickly made my way to the door, and entered using the smoke from the explosion as cover.
Just as I passed through the door, I immediately shot the person at the bottom right corner.
*Piuw* *Piuw*
It only took two bullets to knock him down before he could fire at me.
Before I could turn around and shoot at the terrorist in the upper left corner.
I felt a pain in my right shoulder, I quickly knelt down then turned to the terrorist on the uppert right corner first and shot him.
When I turned around to look at the person in the upper left corner, he was already dead.
It seemed that while I was kneeling the bullet from his friend passed over me and hit him.
I quickly stood up and looked at the two terrorists still lying on the floor, seeing me looking at them, they immediately raised their hands.
"Wait, we give up."
"I don't care."
Even so, I shot them anyway.
I didn't have time to take care of the prisoners.
After killing them, I then turned my gaze towards the hostages, there were about 20 or 30 hostages in this room, 6 of them were children.
Damn, I didn't want to show a scene like this to children like them, I hope it won't traumatize them.
I can also see a red-haired woman who is looking at me with a sharp gaze, if I remember correctly, this tomboyish girl is Miss Moshinsky's sister.
After confirming that Miss Moshinsky's sister was here, I quickly ran to the room where Miss Moshinsky was hiding.
"Miss Moshinsky?"
"Sir Denzelnas? Are you done?"
"Yeah, i'm done. I also found your sister."
"Really? Did she alright?"
"Very, she even glared at me."
"Hahaha, that does sound like her."
Hearing a small laugh from Miss Moshinsky, I just smiled a little and said.
"Come on, Miss Moshinsky. You want to meet your sister, right?"
"Right, let's go, Sir Denzelnas."
Hearing Miss Moshinsky's reply, I quickly turned around and led her back to the room earlier.
*******
A few minutes later, after releasing the restraints of all the hostages in the room, I spoke to the 5 hostages who turned out to be the security guarding the royal VIP room.
2 of them were bodyguards of the Jorandylus family. If I remember correctly, I had seen those two pick up Ira before, but I thought there were three of them, or maybe I remembered wrong?
I decided to ask the middle-aged man named Eagle, that must be his codename. He was the leader of the Guardians, it was a special elite pilot squadron tasked with protecting the emperor in the royal VIP room today.
"So, Eagle, how did you end up here? The pilot suit used by the elite pilots of the empire shouldn't be affected by the EMP, right?"
At least, that's what I can remember from the explanation Hanz gave me when I ordered my pilot suit, pilot suits wouldn't be affected by EMP if they used Rydhronium to protect their important circuits.
And that's expensive, very expensive. After all, rydhronium is one of the rarest metals in the universe.
"Indeed, Sir Denzelnas. When the EMP explosion happened, it only temporarily disabled our pilot suit, but unfortunately, one of the servants and bodyguards from the Jorandylus family betrayed and took Princess Gracelyn and Miss Jorandylus as hostages."
A young man beside Eagle cut him off angrily.
"Those bastards then made us take off our pilot suits, tied us up, and brought us here. Those F*ckers!"
Now I understand why one of Ira's family bodyguards disappeared, I thought he died fighting the terrorists, but it turns out he was just a traitor.
"Watch your language, Sledge. Anyway, that's how it's happening, Sir Denzelnas."
"Are they holding the imperial family hostage in the royal VIP room?"
"I don't think so. I heard one of the terrorists, which is probably their leader, saying something about they will take the emperor and the others to our safety bunker right below this building. So right now they're probably there, if they haven't already left."
F*ck! I thought they're still in the royal VIP room.
"Can you tell me where that bunker is?"
Hearing my question, Eagle made a surprised face.
"You want to go there, Sir Denzelnas?"
"You heard me."
"But.... Sir Denzelnas. Not that I'm underestimating you, but the ones I saw earlier weren't ordinary terrorists, they were wearing pilot suits just like us, the terrorist pilots' specs were probably below our pilot suit specs, but still, they looked highly trained. Besides, soon the elite pilots of the empire will come to stop all this, so why not-"
"Like I said, you heard me."
I cut off Eagle's words with a serious tone that showed I wasn't playing around.
I don't have time for this.
Detecting the seriousness of my tone, Eagle paused and looked at me for a moment, before nodding and giving me directions to the bunker.
"Alright, thanks Eagle. I'm leaving now, I'm going to take the Glock from that guy and 2 of his grenades, you can take the rest of the weapons, take the hostage to another room, and wait for help to arrive."
"Are you sure you don't need our help?"
"With your current condition you will only hold me back, you should just keep the hostages safe."
Although Eagle looked a little annoyed by my words, but he realized that what I said was true. He then nodded and said.
"Then be careful out there, Sir Denzelnas. They have Juggernaut."
Eagle only said that before instructing his men to take away the terrorists' weapons.
Juggernaut? The f*ck was that? Whatever, i'll know soon anyway.
While thinking about what Eagle said, I turned around and started walking.
However, before I started walking, someone called out to me.
"Sir Denzelnas."
I turned my head towards the voice and realized that the one calling me was the old man, the bodyguard of the Jorandylus family, he was the old man who picked up Ira when the girl was hanging out with me.
"I am Sergio Bellandes, and I believe this is our second time meeting, Sir Denzelnas."
"So you indeed remember me. Sir Bellandes."
I nodded at him and he nodded back at me.
"Of course, after all you are the one who managed to make Miss Iraliyel yearn for you. You have no idea how many times Miss Iraliyel has begged her father to meet you, Sir Denzelnas."
"I don't know she likes me that much."
We then shook hands and both gave a friendly smile, when our hands were released, I immediately said.
"What do you need?"
"This might be sound rude, Sir Denzelnas. But.... Can you please, make sure nothing happens to Milady? She's a very innocent girl and really doesn't understand how the world works, if something happens to her, I'm not sure she can recover."
He said that in a tone that sounded very worried.
I replied seriously.
"As long as I'm not late, nothing will happen to her."
Hearing my answer, Sir Bellandes nodded with a serious expression.
"Then, Good luck, Sir Denzelnas."
"Thanks, I really need the luck."
After that, he turned around and walked towards the other hostages.
I looked at the other hostages and managed to find Miss Moshinsky and her sister among them, I wanted to say goodbye to her, but I didn't want to waste any more time, after all, I was sure she would be safe this time.
I just waved my hand at her when she saw me, seeing me waving at her, she and her sister also waved back at me.
As I turned around and ran out into the hallway, I could hear Miss Moshinsky's sister's voice saying.
"Good luck, Sir Handsome."
And I could only smile wryly at that.
I quickly shook my head to focus, and ran quickly towards the safety bunker that was on the lowest floor of this building.
