The Kawaguchi Hotel, a food pantry where hostages are held.

The little princess with long pink hair was sitting in the back row of the hostages.

I really can't do anything. This kind of thing can happen even if you simply come to a meeting.

Euphemia has always felt inferior to herself for being pampered by everyone, although she does not give up on herself because of such emotions, but hopes to prove that she is not a useless vase through various performances. But unfortunately, so far, she has not succeeded once. On the contrary, I almost messed up a lot of things because of it.

[This time it seems to be causing trouble for my sister and them again.] Yuffie thought to himself

Perhaps she should have been happy, if it weren't for the fact that she was in hostage, Cornelia would have launched a strong attack long ago. As long as Yuffie can be rescued, Cornelia will not care about any disputes with the Chinese Federation or the EU, although she is not ignorant of political affairs, but in her heart she is a standard martial artist, she is not afraid of any battle, and she is never afraid of any opponent.

Because of his own relationship, everyone present survived, and when one day Yuphimia knew the truth, I don't know how Lu Dao would feel.

[No, you should be positive at this time, if you are too negative, you will only be replaced with Stockholm syndrome (note)] 】

Yes, it has been almost 4 to 5 hours since I was imprisoned, and under the custody of this group of vicious terrorists, I can't do anything, I can't talk, and I wait quietly for the time to pass by. As the wait became longer and longer, the restlessness slowly began to permeate the hostages.

Every second feels like hell. The atmosphere at this moment is like a fire bucket, as long as there is even a little spark

The elevated cable lifted a huge mech, and then slowly moved above the entrance to the underground passage, and as the cable was lowered, the meching slowly descended towards the elevated air.

The body that was almost twice as tall as the ordinary Knightmare attracted the attention of all personnel, and the slender silver-white weapon that was erected on the right arm of the body was comparable to the height of the body, faintly revealing a cold Xiao Su, and everyone couldn't help but begin to fantasize about the power it contained.

On the side of Mt. Fuji near the Kawaguchi Hotel, this is a temporary operational headquarters, because the front of the hotel is too conspicuous, countless reporters are dignified and microcosmic, and the terrorists in the hotel can also condescendingly see the Imperial Army in front of it.

"Now for the summary of the operation of the assault force."

“FumoFu~”

Hearing this, Kamiyu suddenly stopped what he was doing and turned his head to look at the pink Bonta.

"I mean, I don't think I remembered giving the order to bring in Equipment B, right?"

Because of the abbreviation that Lukka inadvertently used last time, the people who also felt that [the development of the anti-riot use of small AS] also called Bon Tai in this way, and over time, B equipment has become synonymous with Bon Tai.

“FumoFumomoFu~Fumo~Fumofumofumo！ (Don't you think this is the best time to test the effectiveness of equipment for indoor combat?) ）”

Kamiyu covered her forehead in distress after hearing this, and only after half a sound did she suddenly look up and shout at the pink Bon.

"Come out and talk to me, now I don't have a communication device, I can't understand your Fumo."

A short moment later, Big Pink Lukka walked out of Bon.

"Your Highness, I think this is a good time to test your equipment."

"Anyway, the name of this thing is still on the wanted list. If you really take it out, you will definitely be known by the royal sister of Cornelia. That being said, anyone could tell that Kamiyu didn't want to let go of this opportunity.

"It doesn't matter, if it is used properly this time, Governor Cornelia will not only not be blamed, but may also place a batch of orders." Behind Lukka, a spirit with a long head and two horns faintly appeared, constantly bewitching Kamiyu.

If this kind of thing is really going to be put on the battlefield, Conelia, who cares about fame, heroism, and is a model of knighthood, will crush these humiliating 'toys' with her own hands, and then send them back to the steelmaking furnace to be reheated, absolutely guaranteed that not a single part will be left.

"You don't want to see your hard work left in the warehouse in the dust, do you?"

“”

"B equipment can reduce the casualties of combat personnel while exerting unexpected effects." Luca deliberately used the term Gear B for the sole purpose of confusing the public. In this way, it can be concealed for a period of time when it is reported.

That's when it happened.

"Report, Zero, Zero just got in touch." In the communicator, CIC's violently undulating voice showed the enormity of her mood fluctuations at the moment.

"Be more detailed."

"Yes."

A large TV station interview van drove slowly and leisurely towards the main entrance, ignoring the heavily guarded Imperial troops around it.

It was pitch black inside the car, everyone was silent, and an oppressive atmosphere filled the entire space.

It's no wonder that the most wanted criminal in Area 11 is standing on top of his head through a metal layer and posing in a deep pose. Anyone who was pointed at by the black hole in Knightmare's hand would not be comfortable.

"Can you really trust him? The man called Zero? ”

This group of people with a great 'future' profession, who were originally just small citizens, and only started working full-time as terrorists halfway through, fundamentally did not believe in Zero, who had only met twice.

No matter how famous Zero is, even if he has shown superhuman intelligence in front of them. However, to make them wholeheartedly believe in a person who wears a mask and does not even dare to reveal his true face, this is not found in the worldly realm. It's a miracle that Zero can now be instigated into such a dangerous situation in a state of suspicion.

"I'll believe it."

"Really? Night, don't you have a fever? In the back compartment, all eyes were on where the sound was coming from. The person who spoke out was the boy who was called Yagami by Karin and others. Yagami Night is the full name of this young man.

If there was enough light, they would have noticed that he was still skillfully and accurately assembling the old sniper rifle in front of him in such a dark situation, undisturbed by the sight and external threats, as if it were only a part of his body.

With a crisp sound of the bolt being pulled, the boy announced that he had finished assembling the gun.

"Do we still have a choice?" The boy looked up slowly.

"It's a little bit of a fight like we've done before, and at the end of the day, there's only one thing that can be easily pinched to death by Cornelia. I don't know what his purpose is, but in terms of results, maybe we can accomplish what we've been striving for. ”

After saying that, Yagami stopped talking, but quietly closed his eyes and recuperated.

[Sure enough, it seems that the negotiation has been successful. Feeling the slight inertial shaking of the vehicle starting and driving again, a smile appeared on the corner of the boy's mouth

[Partners of justice? At a time when the populace began to grow tired of fighting and preferred to be slaved in Bonetania, waiting for a savior to appear. Zero's plan is huge! However, because of this, there is value to follow. 】

At the same time, in the hotel, in the hostage-taking room, Yufermia's worst fears happened.

Due to the length of time the hostages have been held, there are finally hostages with fragile psychological qualities who have broken out into unstable emotions.

"Don't!"

The brutal and rude terrorists, the heart-wrenching bullying screams of the weak girl, and the silent crowd form a stark ironic contrast.

[What should be done?] It was the first thought in her heart.

The bodyguard, who felt her mood, grabbed her wrist tightly.

As a nobleman, you have an obligation to protect your people. What's more, she is the princess of a country, and she should have the obligation to stand in front of her people. 】

The thoughts of the Imperial nobility that Cornelia had taught her kept flooding her mind.

[All this time, I have achieved nothing. But at least now, I can do what I can. Although he felt that his thoughts were very capricious, Yuphimia still broke free from the bodyguards without hesitation.

"Please stop!"

"What are you?" The terrorists pushed the nervous girl away and shouted at Euphemia as she stood up.

"Please let me meet your leader, I am the third princess of the Bunitanian Empire, Euphemia Li Buntania. As the words landed, everyone, including the hostages, was shocked

"Zero said he would help rescue Her Highness Euphemia."

[Yufie's participation in this meeting is top secret, and only me, Royal Sister Conelia, and her two henchmen know about it. So, was it based on Cornelia's style that Euphemia was in it? It's really done enough research, no, or is there a reliable source of intelligence? 】

The figure of the long-haired green girl flashed in Kamiyu's mind.

Cornelia's doting on Euphemia is no secret in the military, and C.C. has heard of it somewhat, but it's a great thing to make such an analysis based on this information.

[I thought I would have to wait a little longer, but I didn't expect it to surface so soon.] 】

A faint smile crossed Kamiyu's face.

"Let them go."

"Huh?" The CIC apparently thought it had misheard.

"Let them go, and say it's my command."

“Yes，My· Lord。 ”

After the communication ends

"Ready to catch them all?" Lukka asked with a confident smile.

"If it were you, would you let go of this perfect opportunity?"

Luca's soft face showed a cruel smile, and he replied word for word

"Absolutely! No! ”

"Heh," Kamiyu chuckled lightly.

"B equipment is licensed, and everyone is on board immediately. The battle plan is explained on the way. ”

“Yes，Your· Highness。 ”

As Zero's vehicle reached the hotel gate, two helicopters slowly lifted off and disappeared into the dark night sky.

"Jeremia, how is your body?" Kamiyu turned around and connected to Jeremia's communications

"Good, Your Highness." Jeremiah replied calmly.

"Now for the operational briefing.

ADF-01, a guide weapon, carried out a cluster shelling of the hotel's foundations at the location of the underground escape route, causing the hotel to sink underwater. At the same time, the special operations forces will infiltrate to conduct hostage rescue operations. Lancelot and the Guards conduct a frontal assault after the rescue team ensures the safety of the hostages.

Due to the closed environment of the shelling, the 1,000-meter underground environment and the circuits scattered throughout the tunnel formed a strong electromagnetic field interference, so the data setting was left to the special personnel to calculate. Do you understand? ”

“Yes，Your· Highness。 ”

Kamiyu nodded to Cecil beside him

"Charged particle cannon, charging begins!"

"Charging begins."

The half-kneeling huge AS set up the spear in his hand, the body of the gun was separated from the center, and the crystallized electronic lines shone with colorful colors on the periphery of the gun, and the split gun began to glow with golden light, and the jumping arc began to twist the snake body in the center.

"Electron beam generator, accelerating. Proton production is normal. (Note 2)"

"High-frequency oscillation device, stable temperature."

"A third of the charged particle accelerator savings are still a third of the threshold."

"The number of retractions is 11,000."

"The electronic elimination device is running smoothly."

"Adjust for errors according to the strength of the magnetic field" Kamiyu, Cecil, and a dozen other members of the team each calculated a different part on the keyboard.

"Over."

Everything is within stable values.

"Luca." Kamiyu called into the communicator

"We've reached the predetermined position, just wait for the fireworks to go off."

A satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Cluster charged particle cannon, ready for launch."

"Roger!" Jeremia tightened his grip on the handle, and his face began to show excitement and pride, and he couldn't help but shout, "Stupid terrorist! Feel honored! You will be the first to perish under this light of destruction. ”

"Launch!"

The long-awaited command came to his ears

“All· Hail· Britannia！ Jeremia snapped the button on his index finger, and the muzzle of the gun glowed with a blind, brilliant light. The transparent light suddenly illuminated the entire tunnel into a world of light that could not be opened.

The deafening roar, the shaking of the earth, the place where the beams of light passed, burned everything where it was. The ground, the four walls are like roasted cheese, melting in an instant

Note: Stockholm syndrome.

On August 23, 1973, in Stockholm, Sweden, two heavily armed kidnappers suddenly broke in, and shot at a bank in a row

The clerk was caught and thrown into the basement of the black house. Six days later, not only did the men refuse to be rescued, but they believed that the police who rescued them were trying to kill them and that their captors were protecting them.

Researchers have found examples of this syndrome in a variety of experiences, ranging from concentration camp prisoners, war prisoners, to prostitutes and victims of battered women

Note 2: Charged particle cannons generally emit protons.

Protons are accelerated due to receiving energy. When approaching the exit, the electrons are removed, and the magnetic field is used to turn them into sharp, high-energy directional beams, and then the proton beams are emitted into space.

Since charged particles are clusters of charged particles, they are easily deflected by magnetic fields. As mentioned earlier, the particle cannon of the fifth apostle Ramiel in "EVA" is also a charged particle cannon. In the TV version, it is evident that the ballistic deflection phenomenon after the particle cannon and the positive electron cannon of the first machine interfere with each other. (Many of the early animations depicted scientific phenomena in a very realistic way.) But now, like "SEED", plasma can be fired straight like a laser, and it can only be said that the quality of animation producers is gradually decreasing. ）

PS: The cation ion cannon is also a type of charged particle cannon, which should have positron properties. PS again: The Great Witch God of Bailey is still strong, I originally thought that Brazil could break my fate, but I didn't expect the Netherlands to be so rude, and I was pushed back. This is no longer a prophecy, but the power to reverse cause and effect. (Worship.) Now there is a tragedy in Germany, and I don't know if the old horse will be able to drive away evil spirits tomorrow. (But if the exorcism is successful, I'm a little sorry for the old horse.) ）
