While the bartender was fighting with the eleven uninvited guests in the sex and the city bar.

On the other side of the city, a group of people were busy looking for the whereabouts of another uninvited guest in a plastic mold processing factory.

“Why… Is it Hydra?”A woman who looked like a secretary looked at the name on the whiteboard and thought hard.

This plastic mold processing factory had been operating for three years. The business was not particularly prosperous, but it had been making a small profit. However, four months ago.., in the face of an irresistible offer, the boss endured the pain and sold the factory. Then, the new owner kept the appearance of the factory unchanged and only made some secret modifications to the workshop.

The previous machines and equipment were gone, replaced by rows of file cabinets and weapon racks. It looked like a secret military base, and this military base did not have any electronic equipment connected to the internet, it was rather similar to the Cold War style of the 1960s and 1970s.

As soon as the secretary-like woman finished her sentence, another voice interjected, “It’s so lively now. The Legendary Rox who never showed up… previously, he only gave us technical support through email, but now he suddenly showed up and forcefully pulled three elite squads away from us. TSK TSK, that guy is really cunning.”

“This is my fault,”another gentle-looking man in his thirties took the initiative to take the blame, “I was the one who convinced Roger to continue using Rox’s reputation to recruit new members. I also deliberately promoted Rox and made him the Guardian’s spirit totem. I didn’t expect that he would be the one who shot himself in the foot.”

“This is not your fault,”the secretary-like woman quickly shook her head and said, “Everyone knows what happened back then. We thought that Rox was just a simple researcher who didn’t have any desire or ambition for power. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to explain why he didn’t try to take control of the Guardian organization even once in such a long time. In addition, he was the founder of the Guardian organization. He has indeed helped us a lot over the years. It was thanks to his research that we were able to produce things like god-slaying bullets, allowing ordinary people to grasp the ability to fight against the gods. Even if we don’t publicize such a person, there will definitely be people who are willing to follow him.”

“There’s no point in talking about this now. Since he’s here, let’s find him first. If we wait any longer, someone might be dragged away by him again,”said a 23-year-old youth, it was the same person who had spoken earlier. He threw the baseball in his hand at the opposite wall and caught it. He kept repeating this little game, seemingly enjoying it endlessly.

“The possibility of that is not high,”the gentle-looking man said again, “After all, we have been managing the organization for the past few years. We have provided the funds, training, and even weapons. It is precisely because of our existence that the Guardian was able to grow to this point. Everyone in the organization is aware of this. No one can challenge Roger’s authority in the organization. Otherwise, Rox would not have simply pulled away three teams of people.”

“That being said, he’s still an unstable factor,”the secretary-like woman said, “We used to think that he was on the same side as us, but if that’s really the case, there’s no reason for him not to look for us after he showed up. Instead, he directly pulled people out from under our noses. This means that he didn’t pull people out for official business. In that case, we’re back to the original question. Why Hydra?”

“Hydra, no matter what myth or legend it is, it is an evil monster.”The young man shrugged. “Maybe Rox just wants to get rid of the evil for the People First.”

He did not expect that the woman who looked like a secretary would be shocked and blurted out, “What did you say?”

“Uh… I just guessed.”The young man looked a little embarrassed and did not throw the tennis ball that he caught.

“No, say it again,”the woman who looked like a secretary said seriously.

“I said that Rox went to find Hydra first just to get rid of the evil for the people.”

“No, the first sentence.”

“No matter what myth Hydra is in…”

“Oh, right.”The woman who looked like a secretary finally caught the flash of inspiration in her mind. “In the new and popular myth, Hydra is the follower of Master Laraya.”

“So?”The young man raised his eyebrows.

“Do you still remember the recent rumor among the gods that the master of Laryev will wake up from his slumber and return to this world with a player as a vessel, bringing destruction, fear, and Endless Madness?”

“Oh, are you trying to say that Rox suddenly appeared to stop this?”The young man suddenly realized, “He wants to kill its follower, Hydra, before the master of Larreya descends. Wait… If that’s the case, why didn’t he tell us directly and let us take action? We should be able to come to an agreement on this issue. There’s no reason for him to pull a few teams to do it alone.”

“You’re right. So he must have some ulterior motive to kill Hydra,”the gentle-looking man said at this time, “Also, Rox knows that we won’t help him on this point. We might even stop him.”

“Has there been any news about the player who was chosen by Lalye’s master as a vessel?”

While everyone was discussing this matter, a scallop on the table suddenly opened its mouth, and a man’s voice came from inside.

When they heard this voice, the small meeting room instantly fell silent.

Then, the secretary-like woman spoke, “The new God and the old God have entered a state of war. Everyone’s attention is focused on the organizing committee stopping operations and the game shutting down. For the time being, there’s no time to care about other things. However, I’ve heard some vague rumors that the player chosen to be the vessel is outstanding and has a very strong willpower. In addition, he has gradually lost all human emotions.”

The Scallop Shell’s voice was silent for a moment, then it spoke again, “That player is in our city, or to be more precise, at least once in our city. Hydra is hiding in that game point for a reason. It’s most likely to protect that container. Didn’t the player information already leak out? Find out who’s nearby.”

“Yes.”The few people in the meeting room replied solemnly.

“The purpose of the Guardians is to solve the problems brought by the gods. Logically speaking, our target should only be the gods. However, the situation this time is rather special. If we really let that fellow who is sleeping in the underwater palace of Lalaiye escape, even if it is only for a day, it will be a huge disaster. If killing one person can save the entire world, there is no reason for us not to do this.”

At this point, the voice in the shell also slowed down a little, “Everyone’s early work is going well. Although there are some unsatisfactory areas during this period, the basic strategic goals have been completed as scheduled. Now that the war between the new and Old Gods is unavoidable, we can also shift the focus of our work and quickly resolve the current problem.”
