Chapter 292: Pressed to the Ground Right After Starting Work

"Hmm?" Just as he jumped down from the locomotive, Renault saw a doll next to Gentiane raise the barrel of their gun, aiming it at a Ripper who had just opened the cargo container door behind them, ready to start working.

This doll holding the weapon wasn't short, but Renault hadn't seen them before, so they must have arrived at Gentiane's side just recently. It was understandable that they didn't recognize him and the Rippers who were about to start working.

Previously, following Papasha's reminder, Renault deliberately had all his Rippers change their hairstyles. Of course, he didn't shave their heads; he just had them tie their hair up in various ways.

Whether with hair ties or hair clips, as long as their hair was tied up, the Rippers could be distinguished from the Sangvis's Rippers. Renault also had them remove the auxiliary devices used to cover their eyes on their heads, revealing their eyes directly.

As long as their eyes were visible, they wouldn't come across as intimidating right from the start. To be honest, Rippers with their eyes exposed not only didn't look icy, but also seemed somewhat cute and clueless.

The gaze of these individuals was curious with a hint of bewilderment.

The Ripper who had just come down from the train hadn't had time to see the surroundings clearly. Renault grabbed her shoulder and threw her back into the carriage, and casually closing the cargo container door.

Rat-a-tat-tat!

The gunfire, like that of a typewriter, came belatedly, with bullets pinging off the armored door of the cargo container.

When Sangvis Ferri Manufacturing built this train, they obviously considered the possibility of being attacked, so the external layers of these few cargo containers behind the locomotive were thickly armored.

Renault hadn't studied the protective capabilities of this armor in detail, but it was definitely stronger than the armor protection of wheeled armored vehicles.

Therefore, when Thompson raised her imprint weapon and fired two short bursts towards the train, all the .45 ACP bullets flattened against the armor plating, then fell to the ground.

There were also two or three ricochets, but before they could hit Renault, he deflected them with a swipe of his blade.

After firing two short bursts, Thompson stopped, partly because she saw Renault, and partly because Gentiane suddenly spoke up to stop Thompson's actions.

"Stop! They're not enemies!"

Gentiane anxiously pushed down Thompson's gun barrel and raised her hand to halt M9, who was behind Thompson.

"Huh?" Hearing Gentiane's words and seeing Kalina's embarrassed expression behind Gentiane, Thompson was surprised and lifted her sunglasses to look in Renault's direction.

Not looking would be fine, but as soon as she looked, Thompson became more certain that the train over there was a product of Sangvis Ferri Manufacturing, with the Sangvis Ferri logo clearly printed on the locomotive!

And the one who had just opened the cargo door and was peering out from the gap was none other than an SF Ripper!

Wait! Where's the man who just got off the train!?

Thompson hadn't expected that in just a moment of distraction, the man who had just gotten off the train would disappear without a trace!

"Your Griffin dolls are quite spirited, hmm, with quite a strong offensive."

Just as Thompson was about to look for Renault's figure, Renault's voice suddenly sounded from next to Gentiane!

This man, who Thompson was sure was an enemy, was now standing next to Gentiane! The curved blade used to deflect ricochets was being sheathed behind him.

When did he!?

Seeing Renault suddenly appear beside her, Thompson was startled and instinctively raised his gun, ready to attack Renault.

Gentiane didn't even have time to stop her, let alone stop her. Thompson, an elite doll, had a physical strength that Gentiane, an ordinary person who had only undergone a short period of training, couldn't match.

"Renault! Be careful!"

Seeing Renault suddenly approaching, M9, who had just been stopped by Gentiane, also shouted loudly, raising her hand and aiming her gun at Renault!

The movements of these two dolls weren't slow, but Renault was even faster. Before the two could fire, Renault's hands had already landed on the imprint weapons of the two.

With just a few deft movements, the imprint weapons in the hands of the two dolls were disarmed, with their magazines removed and their barrels dismantled!

If only the magazines were removed, it would be fine; there were several on each doll, and they could simply grab another one and continue using it.

But Renault actually dismantled the guns of the two! And it was all critical parts!

One had the entire gun's receiver removed, and the other had the cylinder and barrel removed from the gun!

How are they supposed to fight now!?

The two dolls looked at their imprinted weapons, which had been disassembled by Renault, in a daze.

This was the first time they had encountered such a situation. How could someone come up and dismantle their guns so easily? They hadn't even reacted yet!?

Feeling the sensation of having most of their imprint weapons held by someone else through the weapon's branding system, Thompson and M9 were truly at a loss. Fortunately, Thompson, being Griffin's elite doll, quickly recovered.

She realized what had happened and immediately threw down the useless grip and stock in her hand, then rushed at Renault empty-handed!

Even if this guy could dismantle their imprint weapons in an instant, the strength of an elite doll was several times that of an ordinary human! In close combat with this guy, she wouldn't lose!

Thinking this way, Thompson charged forward.

Then, chanting 'This isn't possible' in her heart, she was effortlessly pressed to the ground by Renault.

The short M9 was completely dumbfounded at this point, holding the lower half of her imprint weapon in her hand, looking at Renault, then at Thompson lying on the ground, completely at a loss.

"By the way, are you guys here to receive goods? Are these two dolls responsible for escorting?"

Is their temperament a bit too hot? Moreover, Gentiane had just spoken, but these two guys still hadn't stopped. It seemed that dolls didn't always obey orders completely.

"Yeah, the supplies reported earlier, and a few new dolls." Gentiane scratched her head, looking at Thompson, who was still struggling on the ground, and couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

This elite doll, she wonders if she'll apply for a transfer to headquarters again after this disastrous first day. Griffin's elite doll had the right to do so. Although Griffin could assign these dolls wherever they wanted, if the work didn't go smoothly, these dolls could decide whether to stay or go on their own.

Of course, hardly any dolls actually did that.
