After Sergei left, the atmosphere began to get heavy again.

"Haha, you've been assigned a chore." Randy tugged at Lloyd's shoulder, rubbing his hair vigorously.

"Huh. However, it is much more reassuring to have someone with the qualifications of a search officer on the team. Ellie smiled in affirmation. Mr. Lloyd, please take care of me. ”

I don't know what to do, but let's do it first. Lloyd said to himself. After calming down like this, Lloyd responded: "You're welcome, just call me Lloyd." It seems that our ages should be very close. ”

"Really? By the way, I was eighteen years old. ”

After listening to Ellie, Lloyd smiled, "That's the same age as me, what a coincidence." What about you? ”

Randy raised an eyebrow, leaned back on the axe and posed, "I'm twenty-one years old." But don't use rigid honorifics on me. Take care of me, Lloyd and Ellie. ”

"Each other, each other."

Seeing that Theo didn't mean to speak, Lloyd asked cautiously again: "So, what about you?" ”

Theo glanced at him. She wanted to mix it up like this, but she couldn't help but say it when this incomprehensible young man asked him uninterestingly.

"Fourteen, is there a problem?"

Well, I always feel like I'm glared at by her...... Lloyd thought.

"No, no, how can there be a problem-huh?! Fourteen?! ”

"Haha, it's as small as it looks." Randy laughed as he tried to rub Theo's head, but Theo silently stepped away.

Ellie sighed: "It's surprising that you can be a police officer at such a young age?" ”

"No, no! It's not right! The entry age of the police is limited to 16 years old, right? How can a child who hasn't even graduated from Sunday school be a police officer......" Lloyd, who had knowledge of the subject, explained earnestly to the other two.

Theo glanced at him again and interjected, "I'm not a police officer, to be exact. I'm a tester sent by the Epstein Foundation [Anti-Harmony]. ”

"Huh?" Theo's interruption stunned Lloyd, and he took back the rest of his words.

Randy thought for a moment, "Isn't Epstein the same tactical director ...... just now?"

Ellie reacted: "I've heard that in recent years, the City of Crossbell has been working with the consortium to carry out some large-scale projects......"

Theo nodded in agreement. "It's the [Guiding Network Project]. There is also a certain connection with that, but this time the consortium [Anti-Harmony] sent me for another purpose. ”

With that, Theo raised the staff he had been holding in his hand and showed it to the others. The slender metal rod is a combination of multiple metal blocks that are roughly square in the position of the head of the staff, and it is a strange weapon that looks like a cane, but it always feels like it can't be considered a cane.

All three of them had curious expressions on their faces, and Ellie asked half-speculatively. "A mechanical device is installed...... Walking stick? ”

Seeing the surprised expressions of several people, Theo felt a little proud in his heart.

"It's called the [Magic Wand], and the consortium sent me to test this new weapon. Lloyd senior, can you understand? ”

Lloyd's face was serious, and he asked rhetorically, "Wait a minute, do you want to use this weapon to participate in the battle?" ”

Whether it was a real fight with a weapon that was still being tested, or a girl so young to fight, Lloyd couldn't approve of it. It's just that not everyone thinks so. For example, Theo himself.

"You have the qualifications of a searcher, but your ability to understand is incomprehensible. As I said earlier, I'm here for a [real-combat] test. ”

"Uh......" was misunderstood, and Lloyd was a little overwhelmed. Seeing this, Randy waved his hand and slapped Lloyd on the shoulder. "Alright, alright, it's useless to argue here. It's unclear how dangerous the underground space behind this door is, but the priority is how to solve the task that the uncle forced on us."

Steer the conversation toward the task and shift the topic without a trace. Randy admired himself a little.

"yes, although there are still a lot of things that haven't been figured out." Ellie also helps Randy change the subject.

"Understood......" Lloyd could only compromise for the time being.

"I'm sorry, Theo. I apologize if I upset you. Lloyd decisively apologized.

It seems that I can't persuade her to give up, so let's pay more attention to the battle for a while. It's not good if there is unhappiness within the team because of your own reasons. Thinking so, Lloyd couldn't help but look at Theo twice.

Theo still had a grim expression. "Nothing...... I think your reaction is what a normal person should be. ”

Theo put down his hand holding the wand and asked, "Anyway, my weapon is this wand, what are your weapons?" ”

"My weapon, this is it." With that, Lloyd reached for the weapon behind his waist with both hands. He grabbed the handle of the weapon and pulled it out at once.

T-shaped weapons. A square metal rod the length of an adult's arm, about a third of the way, is decorated with a red spherical device, from which a handle protrudes vertically. When equipped, the metal stick is attached to the forearm. Looks like a defensive weapon.

"This is? A type of batons? Ellie asked, she had clearly never seen such a weapon.

"Oh, the whirlwind, it's an Oriental weapon. Defense and suppression are better than lethality. Randy explained to her.

"I've tried a lot of weapons in school, but this one is the best." With a twist of his hands, Lloyd's whirling stick danced two round rails against his arm, and then stopped firmly in front of his arm.

"I see, it's a police officer-style weapon." Ellie laughed.

For the investigator, it is more necessary to make the opponent ineffective than to kill or injure the opponent, and it is not an exaggeration to say that this easy-to-carry blunt weapon is tailor-made for the investigator.

Then, Ellie pulled her own matching gun out of the holster on her waist.

The shape resembles a revolver in the firearms era, the shape is simple, the whole body is silver-white, the body is slightly longer than the average gun, and the grip is equipped with a purple anti-slip layer. However, instead of the wheel on the revolver, it has been changed to something similar to a silver jar, and if you know a little about the guided weapon, you will know that this is the guiding device that provides the guiding bullet for this weapon.

Yes, although it looks like a firearm, it is actually a guide gun.

Theo tilted his head, as if to confirm the model of the gun: "It's a little old." ”

"But what a beautiful gun," Lloyd praised. This is not much flattery, the current guide gun pays more attention to functionality or concealment, and this style with bright colors and long body is basically impossible to find now.

Ellie added a little happily, "It's been specially adjusted for competitiveness." Although it is old-fashioned, the accuracy is still worth looking forward to. ”

"Oh, full of confidence." Randy said, holding the axe in both hands, brushing it into a cloud of gray light above his head, and then, with a thud, slash. The heavy blunt blade of the axe spear brought a large circle of air, and the blade also shimmered with a faint blue light. "Mine, it's this guy."

At first glance, it looks like a cold weapon, but if you take a closer look, you can see the difference. On the face of the huge axe, there are small pieces of metal, which are fastened with screws, and in the center is a device that provides the guiding force. Although the blade of the axe is a blunt weapon, it can be powered by a force guide device to provide impact force, so it is very powerful.

"That's a huge weapon." Lloyd sighed.

"Yes, and it's like the axes and guns used by knights in the Middle Ages." Ellie also made her opinion clear.

"I've seen this in the Consortium's weapons workshop." Theo introduced lightly. "It's equipped with elements that convert conductive force into impact force."

"That's right~" Randy laughed as he picked up the axe and gun, freeing his hand to touch Theo's head. As a result, Theo moved another step away. Randy smiled nonchalantly and said, "That's right, it's a shock axe." It's a bit heavier and not easy to handle, but it's very powerful. With that, Randy patted the axe side of the axe.

"I see." Lloyd nodded, psychoanalyzing.

Both his and Randy's weapons are forward-type, Ellie's gun must be rear-type, and Theo's weapon is not clear about the specific range, but since it is a staff, it should be considered a medium range, right? Look at it this way......

"We've got a fairly balanced squad. If you want to fight Warcraft, you should have no problem. Lloyd concluded.

Randy laughed and teased, "Maybe even this was taken into account, so we gathered a few of us." That uncle looks listless, but in fact he is not an idle person or anything. ”

"So, would you like me to explain the performance of the new tactical power guide?" Theo interjected suddenly.

Only then did the three of them remember the tactical guide they had just gotten, and the section chief had also asked Theo to explain.

Lloyd took a closer look at the tactical power guide. Except for being a little larger, it looks the same as the previous Tactical Director.

"It doesn't look any different from the previous model, right?" Randy tried to confirm.

"Well, yes. The method of use is no different from the original model. To talk about the difference, in addition to the fact that the previous circuit can not be used, the main thing is that this upgraded version has added other functions. But I don't need it at the moment, so don't worry. ”

Hearing Lloyd's inquiry, Theo explained a little.

"So, have you all used tactical power guides?" Lloyd asked the crowd. Although he didn't have a tactical guide himself, he had learned it in the police academy, and he also needed relevant knowledge when he took the investigator exam, and Lloyd thought it was okay to use it.

"My words, I have used." Randy was the first to take a stand.

"I've tried it before, and it's generally fine." Surprisingly, Ellie will use this as well.

"So, how about that?" Randy suggested. "Hurry up and go in and make a fuss, and then hurry back to get back to your life."

Compared to introducing it here, Randy still thinks that it will be easier to understand it if he goes inside to fight it.

"I'm really anxious." Lloyd said, using his key card to unlock the door of the underpass.

"Be careful with your next exploration, don't get hurt."
