Gate of the Cross

Chapter 255 The Battle Is Coming

"Lord God, are you sure it's here?"

Gene looked around in surprise. This was an empty platform. According to Guimu Guima's analysis, they should meet the woman's team here, but he didn't know what to do after the meeting.

"Yes, I analyzed three routes, and only this one has the highest fault tolerance rate."

"Well, since you've said that, let me take a break first. It's really hot!"

Others immediately watched blankly as Gene began to take off his armor one by one, and in the end, only his underwear was exposed.

"Jen, you are..." Xiaomuro asked puzzledly.

"Hot! Who knew it would be so hot here? Gene said while wiping his sweat.

"But isn't this your own dress?" Leon wiped his beloved Magnum pistol and couldn't help asking back.

"Yes, I dressed it myself. Didn't I suffer an inexperienced loss a few days ago? So I just want to wear thicker clothes. How can I know that the temperature here is not scientific at all!"

Leon and Xiaomuro looked at each other. Both of them were speechless, so they simply said nothing. They both thought that there was no reason to talk to Gene.

Xinjie and Guimu Guima are as calm as ever, and there is no impatience at all. It seems that they are all sure that the female team will come here and get along with them.

"Ajie, I want to ask you something." Komuro turned to Xinjie and asked, "Why do you think we must cooperate with the female team to complete the trial? When we separated us from the beginning, the priest of Astia did not tell us such a thing?"

"Intuition." Xinjie said.

"Intuition...that kind of thing..." Komuro shook his head and turned to Guimu Guima, "So what about you, Guima, what do you think?"

"Analysis." Guimu Guima's answer is as concise as Xinjie's.

"Well, when I didn't ask, but if it's like what you said, why didn't the priest of Astia tell us at the beginning, otherwise our goal would be very clear?"

"Maybe he wants us to discover it ourselves?" Leon interrupted.

Hearing Leon's words, Komuro Takashi nodded after thinking about it and said, "Maybe it's really possible. Maybe this is also part of the trial?"

"I don't think so."

"Oh? What do you think?" Komuro Takashi looked at Gene curiously and wanted to hear what he had in common.

"I think it's probably that guy's sloppy. I forgot it. I don't look like a careful person at him. He is the kind of person who is often careless."

Hearing Gene's words, everyone was speechless.

At this moment, a familiar voice came from the opposite side: "Look, they are there!"

"It's really coming!"

Naturally, it was the female team led by Rin Tosaka who came here. After defeating three groups of undead in a row, they also found a candlestick. Like the analysis of Xinjie and Guima Katsuragi, Rin Tosaka also thought that this was an opportunity for the two sides to meet. Unlike the male team, they made full use of Nagato Youxi, who has the ability to resist bugs in the team, and knew that their purpose was more than 90% accurate, so they were more calm than the male side.

Of course, it is also because of the different personalities of the people in the team. Rin Tosaka took over, and Saber and the Snow Dragon Soul unconditionally supported it. Nanali had no problem after waking up. Nagato Youxi... Needless to say this.

"Jay, how's your side?"

"It's normal. What about you?"

"It's the same, hee."

Rin Tosaka greeted Xinjie with a smile, and the two sides roughly talked about what had just happened.

"Nanali, are you all right?" Xinjie saw that Nanali's face was not good, and after hearing Tosaka Rin say what had just happened, he naturally understood what was going on.

"It's okay, thanks to Saber taking care of me." Nanali nodded gently and said.

"Saber..."

As soon as Xinjie turned to Saber, Saber said, "Jay, there is no need to thank you for this kind of thing."

"Okay."

Xinjie also understands what she means. The relationship has reached this point. It's meaningless to be polite.

"Bear by the way, Jie, since you have also been here, we should be the same idea, right?" Tosaka Rin saw that the two sides had almost talked, so he talked about the business.

"Well, I have the same opinion as Guima. Let's exchange now?"

"It's up to you!"

"Then exchange it now."

"Hey, what are you talking about!" Gene didn't understand what they were talking about at all.

"Exchange candlesticks."

Guimu Guima explained, "The candlestick should be the key to the next area. The key to the next area for both men and women are in each other's hands. Only by exchanging candlesticks can they lead to the next area."

"Well... but how did you guess it?"

"Analysis."

"Intuition."

"Guess."

"Well, it's my fault to ask you." After hearing three different answers, Gene said that he was under great pressure.

Just as the two sides began to exchange candlesticks, the priest who first led them here suddenly appeared in front of them in a magical way.

"Guys, everyone, I'm really sorry. I forgot to tell you something. Really, I'm so careless. I'm always careless..."

After saying this, the priest originally thought that everyone would be angry, but he did not expect that Xinjie, Guimu Guima, Lyon and Xiaoshio looked at Gene with an incredible look, as if he had done something amazing.

"What's wrong?"

The female team also looked at them strangely and didn't know what had happened to them.

"It really made him say it."

"Yes, it's simply... can't look directly."

"We will listen carefully to Gene's opinion in the future."

"Yes, a fool must have a lot of worries."

"Hey, what do I mean by you guys? Is one thing so incredible to you? Have you always regarded me as 9? After hearing the four people's words, Gene shouted with great dissatisfaction.

"Yes."

This time, not only men, but also the female team who did not know the truth said with one voice after hearing Gene's words, and the most sincere Saber asked directly:

"Don't you know that you are 9?"

"Well...let me say a few words first, okay? Then can you continue to discuss this issue?"

The priest beside him saw that these adventurers from other worlds in front of him seemed to have a tendency to crooked buildings and quickly stopped them.

"This time your task is to pass through the altar and defeat the guardians of the altar. Because of the mysterious power protection, men and women must act separately. The two sides have different walking routes and encounter different monsters. The props needed to lead to the next area is the candlestick. You must constantly exchange candlesticks. It can reach the next area. At the final confluence site, you can regroup and accept the trial of the final baptism.

"Can I make it clear?" After saying these words in one breath, the priest asked.

"The logic is confused, the language is unclear, and the expression is unclear, but we can understand what it means."

Guimu Guima made a summary.

"Wow..." The priest looked depressed.

"Sorry, Guima is like this. He speaks more directly. Thank you very much for coming to tell us about this matter. Thank you for your hard work."

Tosaka Rin saw that the priest seemed to have a very injured face and quickly said to him.

After hearing Rin Tosaka's words, the priest's expression was a little better. After all, it was very comfortable for a beautiful girl to say this sentence to her with a smile.

"If nothing happens, I'll go first. You can continue to discuss whether Mr. Gene is 9 or not."

"This soul is about to leave and mock me. It's simply looking for a way to die!" Gene expressed great indignation when he heard his last words.

"Although his logic is confused, unorganized and vague, we still have to go to the confluence place as soon as possible to complete the final trial." Xinjie said as if to sum up.

"No problem!" Tosaka Rin said confidently, "Leave it to me here!" Jay, you should also work hard!"

"Saber, take good care of Nanali." When they separated again, Xinjie still said to Saber uneasily, "Nanali is afraid of the dead."

"Don't worry." Saber nodded, suddenly blushed and whispered, "If it were me, would you care about me like this?"

Xinjie was stunned and then smiled, "That's natural, Saber."

In the next time, the two sides are in the repeated reincarnation of constantly repelled the interception of monsters on the road, exchanging candlesticks, separating, fighting monsters, exchanging candlesticks, separating and fighting monsters.

If you do the same thing too much, you will naturally get bored. Gene was a little impatient to kick away the stone blocking the road and asked, "Who can tell me how long we will last?"

"One day."

Guimu Guima said calmly.

"One day, isn't it? We've been here all day, haven't we?

"36 hours."

"...Well, I'm sorry that you remember so clearly. What should I do next?"

"Keep going." Xinjie said calmly, "Don't panic."

"Okay, okay, let's go..."

Finally, on the third day after entering the altar, after the last exchange of candlesticks, the two sides finally reached the final confluence site - Alges' charity.

Although I don't know why this name is called here, everyone knows that the final trial has arrived after seeing the priest guarding here.

This time, they were no longer greeted by the careless god, but by an expressionless person:

"Is it over? Then let's go!"
