Chapter 1162 The sky is falling?
For several days, the entire underground world of the Sinnoh region seemed to have experienced a silent earthquake.
Those Hunter Guild strongholds that had been entrenched in shadowy corners and had once caused the Alliance so much trouble suddenly emerged one after another like bamboo shoots after a rain, and were then pulled out one by one.
The news quickly reached the Hunter's Guild's headquarters, hidden deep in the mountains.
The atmosphere was oppressive, like the silence before a storm.
Hunter Guild Headquarters.
The heavy alloy door slowly opened with the hiss of the hydraulic device. The strong smell of blood and desperate wails poured out like substance, but were isolated inside by the door.
The leader of the Hunter's Guild, codenamed A, who was also the chief hunter, walked out of the cold and damp dungeon.
He casually shook off the dark red sticky liquid that had not yet completely solidified on his hands, and a few drops splashed on the cold metal wall.
With a happy smile on his face, a handsome young man stood behind him.
"Master, don't worry, our cooperation will definitely be a win-win situation."
"Chief!" A hunter responsible for transmitting intelligence had been waiting outside the door. His face was as pale as paper, his forehead was covered with fine cold sweat, and his eyes were filled with unconcealable fear.
He almost fell to his knees, his voice trembling violently.
A frowned, displeased with his subordinate's incompetence. "What are you panicking about? Is the sky falling?"
"It's...it's a base! We...all our large bases in Sinnoh..." The intelligence officer's voice got stuck in his throat.
A's patience was instantly exhausted. A suffocating pressure suddenly spread out, almost causing the kneeling intelligence officer to prostrate himself on the ground. "What happened to the base? Explain clearly!"
"Gone... Gone! All gone!" The intelligence officer practically cried out, "Just now, the last large stronghold deep in the Baidai Forest also completely lost all signals!
All the large branches were wiped out during this period!"
The coldness on A's face froze instantly, then was replaced by an expression of disbelief and astonishment. "What? All gone?"
He took a sudden step forward, his massive shadow looming over the agent. "You're talking about all those massive strongholds I've painstakingly built over decades, interconnected and spread across Sinnoh? ... They're all gone?!"
Every word seemed to be squeezed out from between teeth, carrying a cold murderous aura.
“Yes… yes, Chief…” The intelligence officer trembled like a leaf in the wind.
"Who did it?!!" A's roar was like the roar of a wounded beast, and the terrifying murderous intent erupted in an instant. It was no longer a coercive threat, but a tangible shock wave that swept through the entire headquarters corridor. The light tubes on the wall made a humming sound as if they could not bear the heavy load, and the temperature dropped sharply.
"Sinnoh Alliance? Is that Lugia?!"
The first thing he thought of was the biggest and most obvious threat.
"No... no!" The intelligence officer shook his head in horror. "There's no sign of any large-scale mobilization or movement from the Sinnoh League! They... they seem completely unaware! The Junsha troops and gym leaders in each city are proceeding as planned, with no unusual reports!"
"Don't know?" A's voice suddenly dropped to freezing point, and the anger in his eyes was replaced by a more dangerous and pure cold murderous intent.
He repeated slowly, word for word, his gaze like a poisoned icicle, fixed on the agent. "So, our bases are being destroyed one by one, and we... don't even know who did it?"
The intelligence officer looked at his leader's face, which was twisted and distorted by rage, and his eyes, which were devoid of any human warmth and only showed cruelty and desire for destruction, and he instantly understood something.
The blood drained from his face, leaving only the paleness of despair. "Chief! No! Give me a little more time! I will find out! I..."
"what--!!!"
A scream so shrill that it didn't sound like a human voice instantly echoed through the corridor, and then stopped abruptly.
All that was left on the spot was a large amount of splattered, steaming, sticky blood and some unrecognizable, scattered fragments.
The strong smell of blood instantly overwhelmed the breath coming from the dungeon.
From the shadows, a slender and agile figure walked out silently.
She was wearing a tight black combat suit that outlined her powerful curves, had neat short hair, and wore a pair of goggles that covered half of her face. She had several Poké Balls and a row of special tools on her waist.
It was none other than the Hunter Guild's ace hunter, renowned for his ruthless efficiency—J.
She glanced at the mess on the ground indifferently, without any fluctuation in her eyes.
She walked up to A and said, "Chief, it's just a small matter of cleaning up the house. Why do you have to do it yourself?"
She paused, her tone becoming serious. "It's obvious that they're targeting our guild. Judging from the speed and efficiency with which the stronghold was taken out, they possess extremely accurate information and are incredibly mobile. Judging by this pace..."
J raised his head slightly and peered through his goggles toward the end of the deep, dark corridor at the headquarters. "...The enemy's target is clearly not just the outposts.
Although the location of the headquarters is extremely secretive, it is not unknown.
Some core members, especially the middle-level ones responsible for contacting various strongholds, know the approximate location.
"Given their relentless search and exploration style, finding this place is only a matter of time. Furthermore, that time... probably won't be long."
A's chest heaved violently as he forcibly suppressed the anger that threatened to burn his sanity.
He took a deep breath. The strong smell of blood stimulated his nerves, but it also made him regain a bit of cruel calmness.
He looked at J, the sharpest and most loyal sword under his command. "You're right, J."
His voice had regained its commanding coolness, but it was even colder than before. "This isn't an accident. This is war. A devastating war against the Hunter Guild."
He turned abruptly, facing the depths of the headquarters. His voice boomed like thunder, spreading through the ubiquitous loudspeakers to every corner of the underground fortress:
"Highest level combat readiness! Level 1 alert! Recall! Recall all Hunters out there! No matter what mission they're on, no matter where they are in the world! Drop everything and return to headquarters immediately! Right now!"
"Prepare all your 'stock'! Raise all defense systems to maximum power! I will make sure this uninvited guest who dares to challenge the Hunter's Guild... comes! and never returns!!"
"Yes! Chief!" J nodded vigorously, with a hint of cold fighting spirit and a barely perceptible solemnity flashing in his eyes.
She immediately turned around, her figure blending into the shadows, to carry out this supreme order that concerned the survival of the guild.
The entire Hunter Guild headquarters, like a completely enraged ancient beast, began to awaken and reveal its deadly fangs hidden in the deepest part.
While A and J were talking, the young man behind A had a flickering look in his eyes.
There is no doubt that he is Sasaki.
