Chapter XII
"Our reconnaissance unit has determined the correctness of the intelligence provided by the two of them. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoNow, I think it's time for us to deliver on our promises. The way they survive as mercenaries is very conducive to identity disguise, especially in the extreme environment of the Moon Capital. They should be able to become excellent combat fighters. β
"Hmm......" Tapping the back of his hand lightly, Ackerman's expression looked a little worried, "Moon...... There's a lot to figure out on the other side of the moon. Of course, I'd be happy to have two more combat power at this time...... But are the two of them really trustworthy? if they betray at a critical moment......
"Do you think I'll be able to deal with just two mercenaries?"
"Well, of course not. Hearing these words with some anger, Ackerman's body trembled suddenly, and he peeked at the face of the woman on the screen, "Of course I fully believe in your combat power...... But, two fists are no match for four hands, and they were working under that 'fritter' before, if that man thinks we've poached his talent and ends up mobilizing all the resources he can to lay siege to you, or if this was a plot of his......"
ββ¦β¦ It's not that I haven't been a mercenary, and of course I understand them. Even when I might be single as a superpower, I was never afraid, what could he do as a small arms dealer?" After a delay of more than ten seconds, the woman on the screen showed a look of disdain, but her tone quickly became gentle, "...... But that's going to affect your work, right? I'm going to give them another task to look at them......"
"Hmm...... We are really understaffed right now, especially with people like this who have a lot of experience in special operations and covert reconnaissance in the outer space environment. Survey......" Tapping his fingers on his temple, taking a sip of coffee, Ackerman nodded, "Well, I'll apply now, let's go to the moon." β
"You're going to come here in person!? No. β
ββ¦β¦ Yuxiang, in fact, even if there are no two people, I have to pass. Unable to laugh at this overly decisive and outright denial, Ackerman put down his coffee cup, bit his lip in embarrassment, and finally called out the name of the woman he was talking to, "Now that we have finally grasped the clues that may be able to trace down the underworld, how can you let me stay on Earth?" It's been five years, it's been five years, and the people in the underworld we have arrested have either committed suicide or basically don't know anything, their power on the earth is too solid, and the hidden advantages accumulated for so long have made it impossible for us to deal with it. So it's clear that we've made the right choice to make the moon the breaking point, and the next ......"
"I don't care what you say, you're not allowed to come. I can't see you hurt anymore, or ......" Tears appeared in Kazami's eyes as she said this, "Otherwise, I'm not sure what I'll do." β
"I ...... Yuxiang!" Laughing even more at this kind of coquettish doting, Ackerman shook his head, "You're just going to let me go, okay?"
"No, the moon is too dangerous! Do you know that there is no oxygen on the surface here!"
But I'm a cyborg. If you want to talk about danger, it is that you are more dependent on the outside air. Slowly complaining in his heart, Ackerman sighed, and then quickly pretended to be embarrassed: "Youxiang...... You, do you have to tell me the truth? Actually, I want to go to the moon mainly because ......"
Ackerman's expression seemed to make Kazami Yuka feel a little uncomfortable. Waving her hand in a panic, her voice with a delay didn't seem to have time to stop: "Wait, Ackerman, don't say ......"
ββ¦β¦ I miss you. I'm so special, especially now, I want to see you. I'm crazy to see you. However, because of the mission, there must be someone on the moon, so I thought, let's just be on the moon together......"
"Ahhh
"Please, let me hug you, let me fully feel your body temperature, I can't bear it just to see your face...... Please, let me go, let me go to the moon, I want to see you, I want to see you, I want to see you, I want to see you!!"
"Ahhhh!!h
Considering the delay, Kazami Yuuka should have agreed to Ackerman's request when he only heard "There's no way to endure it". Knowing that the "strategy" he had used for an unknown number of times had taken effect again, Ackerman's face showed a smile, while Yuka Kazami on the screen had tears in her eyes and whispered with a flushed face:
"It's so cunning...... It's always like this, it's really too cunning...... Next time, next time you're not going to get your way, you know!?"
"Yes, yes, I know. With a smile on his face, Ackerman nodded, "...... I love you, Yuka. β
ββ¦β¦ Well. I love you too. β

"Hurry up, are you all in!?"
With Ouyang Pingshui supporting each other, almost crawling on and on, Sanae pounced on the entrance that was the final destination of the journey, and then sat down on the ground with her legs limp, and began to gasp for air a little roughlyβdespite the burning pain in her chest. Seeing her like this, Ouyang Pingshui hurriedly stretched out his hand to pick her up, but was dragged over by another person: "Look at yourself before worrying about others! Take off the exoskeleton immediately, if the battery explodes, we will all be buried together!"
Hearing this, Ouyang Pingshui immediately began to pull the already seriously damaged thing off his body in a panic, and Sanae also took off the equipment from his joints. I don't know if it's a mental delusion, but after taking off the last knee pad, she obviously felt a lot more relaxed. Standing up slowly with her hands on the ground, she raised her head, and her eyes were on Ouyang Pingshui, who had just taken off her exoskeleton and disposed of it.
This made her feel a little complicated. After looking at each other quietly for a while, she lowered her head and bowed deeply: "Just now, thank you, Mr. Ouyang." If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I'd be dead. β
The voice was flat, so flat that even Sanae herself knew that there was no sense of gratitude in her words. Even, Sanae felt that not letting herself yell angrily, "Why don't you let me die?" was already her limit. After all, that's what she is...... Extreme to some neurotic girl. The man in front of him has a good impression of himself only depends on superficial things. If you want to eliminate it, just let him recognize the truth.
β¦β¦ Is it okay? Yes, it should be.
"Ah, I just...... That, I did what I wanted to do......" Soon his face turned red again, Ouyang Pingshui's hand waved wildly, as if he wanted to express something, but he couldn't express anything, "No, no thanks...... I should protect you. β
"You don't have to be so desperate. Even if you are a soldier and we are civilians, there is no need to work so hard. It's not a good thing to take this young life for me. Shaking her head, letting her supple green hair sway slightly, Sanae said, "I'm stronger than you." You should cherish yourself. β
Perhaps finally hearing the meaning of Sanae's words, Ouyang Pingshui blinked, and a look of loss quickly appeared on his face. Moving his Adam's apple but not saying anything in the end, his shoulders drooped and he turned around, leaving Sanae with a lonely back.
That's it. I just need to find a way to get to where Mr. Ge is, and there is no need for other people's intervention. Although Mr. Ge hates suicide, it is not too difficult to find a way to die in this land that has been turned into a full-scale battlefield......
ββ¦β¦ Well, I, I want to say more. Suddenly, the voice of the person who thought it should have gone away sounded again, Sanae raised her head from the shadow in her heart and met Ouyang Pingshui's eyes again, "...... I didn't save you for personal emotional reasons. I-"
"βI'm just doing my duty. β
The sudden appearance of these three words caught Sanae a little off guard. A feeling of dizziness hit her all at once, and she felt a little unsteady under her feet. At this time, Marisa, who had been anxiously looking for her figure, squeezed out of the crowd on the other side, and when she saw Sanae's state, she immediately rushed over to support her: "Sanae!?
"Responsibility, responsibility...... muttered to herself, tears overflowed from Sanae's eyes again, drop by drop, like a crystal pearl, "Do your duty...... Do your duty...... Why, there must always be those responsibilities!?Why, you can't even live for that kind of thing!?For that kind of thing...... Why, why ......"
"Marisa, tell me, why!?why!?" Suddenly, Sanae grabbed Marisa's shoulders and began to shake her desperately, as if she wanted to vent everything, "Why!!! why did I see the same thing in his eyes as Mr. Katsura when he said that!!!!
ββ¦β¦ Calm down, Sanae!" Immediately stopping Sanae's frantic actions, Marisa pressed her arm down so that the foreheads of the two of them were pressed together, and her voice was so gentle that it didn't look like hers, "Don't always do that, okay? If you have a question, you'll have to find an answer." And the answer you want is obvious, right?"
"He, like Xiaowei, is a responsible person. Right?"
"Same as Mr. Ge...... "Sanae softly repeated the sentence in a somewhat nihilistic voice, "the same as Mr. Ge...... Ah......h
Then, in Marisa's arms, she fell asleep peacefully.

After suffering a serious blow, it is easy for some abnormal situations to occur. For this kind of thing, Hakuri Reimu had fully experienced it before, after all, the number of such people in Gensokyo is not a minority. At that time, she was lazily drinking tea and watching all this, and she thought that she would never encounter such a thing in her life. Now that I think about it, that naΓ―ve idea is a big irony.
But that doesn't mean Reimu doesn't think she's normal right now. Looking at Marisa, who was supporting Sanae on the side, her eyes revealed a little coldness, and then she lowered her head, turned around, and blended into the retreating army.
Marisa is very good at completing the task assigned to her by Williams. She used her spiritual strength to support this small team, and this spiritual power is extremely strong. Then, what you should do is very clear: find what you should do and the direction you should go in for the three of them.
Of course, the way forward has long been decided. Xiaowei must still be waiting somewhere in this world, so he must get him back and bring him to the three of them again, whether he wants it or not. However, in order to achieve this goal, they must first stabilize the foundation, especially to sort out the current chaos......
The three of them are nominally attached to Mianyue Yiji, and the latter is a staunch "Ge Yiwei Death" faction. Of course, Reimu won't believe this man's nonsense, but he must find a way to break through this situation of being controlled by others. And for now, there may be people who can act as backers, and there may really be.
Ge Chengzhi ...... Brother......"
Tapping the second part of his index finger with his middle finger, Reimu lowered her head and muttered to herself. She didn't quite remember what department Ge Yiwei's brother was, but one thing she could be sure of was that this person should be some kind of secret worker, not a retired veteran. If you think so, there must be some deeper reason for his presence here. If he can find a way to grasp the secret he has hidden, he may be able to use this as a breakthrough to seek refuge from the Chinese government. If I'm not mistaken, Yuka Kazami should have been a freelance mercenary for five years to find clues about the time machine, and considering the combat effectiveness of the three of them, this is not a way out.
In addition, there is also a breakthrough in Ouyang Pingshui, the machine gunner of the third squad. His grandfather was the commander-in-chief of the moon base, and he himself developed a clear crush on Sanae - even to the point where he could risk his life to save her. Then, through his side, the three of them may be able to get help from the Chinese government. This is obviously an option as well, but at a ...... cost Maybe Sanae needs to be asked to "sell out the hue".
However, Sanae would not have been able to do such a thing. It's too hard for her right now. So, should you take the initiative to create some opportunities to match two people? Maybe you can reduce the most difficult rival for yourself......
Reimu knew that such a way of thinking was quite ruthless. But, even so, she made the option a backup rather than discarding it entirely. Her left hand was still tightly holding the 98 style that she had used in the battle just now, she suddenly stopped, looked back at the other two people again, and then lowered her head, I don't know what she thought, and whispered a word:
ββ¦β¦ Oni Witch. Come out. I want to talk to you about a deal. β
I have to do my part. I'm going to have to take both of them with me. This is the task given to me by Xiaowei...... If not, what face do I have to see him again......
However, what Reimu himself didn't notice at all was that although the consciousness was still dominated by "Hakurei Reimu" rather than "Oni Witch", the pupils of this body had begun to gradually redden. These reds began to appear from the very edge, as if they were about to completely swallow the originally large, agile and beautiful black pupils, and slowly eroded inward.
β¦β¦ After all, the current captain's authority of "Gensokyo" belongs to "Hakurei Reimu", not "Oni Witch".
