Chapter 4: The Beginning of the Prologue to Chaos
Although the appearance is very young, in fact, Zax. Phil has been dormant in London for more than 20 years, thanks to his changing face and identity, as well as his mastery of pickpocketing trains.
The hunt for teenage girls reminded Zax of what he seemed to have done more than twenty years ago, when he was a member of the Knights of the Troubled Country.
The Knights of the Sorrowful Country, this is the name of the organization to which Zax belongs. Or rather, the name of the organization he used to work for.
It was a very secret organization, and its members came from very complex sources, such as Puritan nuns, knightly squad leaders, mercenaries with royal blood, members of foreign magic societies, magicians who lived ordinary people's daily lives, and so on.
Although they come from different backgrounds, they are united because they all share the same belief.
Protect the UK.
For the sake of Britain, any means can be employed;
No sacrifice is too great for the sake of Britain;
For the sake of Britain, there is nothing that cannot be abandoned
Everyone can sing and dance together, regardless of whether they are high or low, young or old, and then go to the battlefield together as long as the country needs it, and this is such an organization.
Once, such an organization.
The reason why it is said "was" is because the Knights of the Sorrowful Country have long since perished.
It's an organization, but it's just a group of people who share the same beliefs coming together naturally.
Correspondingly, then, if all the people are dead, the organization will also be declared dead.
The reason for perdition is very simple.
No sacrifice is too great for the sake of Britain
So one day, it was their turn to be sacrificed.
It was an ugly political conspiracy, and as a bargaining chip to balance domestic and foreign forces, the Knights of the Sorrowful Country were betrayed.
Accepted the bait mission to enter the mortal situation, and then faced ten times more enemies, struggling to support but never waiting for the so-called "inside and outside" in the battle plan.
Under the siege of the Spanish Star Sect and the French Orleans Knights, they killed more than 200 enemies and almost destroyed the headquarters of the Star Sect. This led to the withering of the Spanish Star Cult for decades, and even the subsequent incident where the Star Cult's troops were defeated by a British mercenary
There were 36 members of the Knights of the Sorrowful Country, and all of them were killed in this battle.
The battlefield was full of severed limbs, and some people were even directly evaporated and erased by the technique.
When the battlefield was cleared, no one had to identify the corpses, because it was pointless, and no one could have escaped under the predetermined tight siege.
Both the British and Spanish leaders think so:
The Knights of the Sorrowful Country have turned into the dust of history
Misaka Miling felt that she was really unlucky, she originally came to the UK to find out about Intix's long-range control of the spirit suit, and by the way to see if she could stir up the fire on the right side of the yellow side to seize the spirit suit, but it seems that her arrival first put herself in some kind of crisis.
Running away or something is not their own style at all.
But even if you want to do something, the conditions don't allow it. This is not a school city.,The control technology of the AIM force field is useless here.,The current Misaka Meiling,It's just an ordinary girl.。
And it looks like he's being chased by a man with a super ~ exaggerated sword and a somewhat hysterical expression.
However, it is very incredible, even if this scene is seen, I will not feel "Ah, that girl is so pitiful~", but because the man's expression and weapons have been exaggerated to the point of making people feel pitiful, they can't help but make people feel "How much hatred is this?" ".
Finally.
There is a wall in front of you, and behind you are the pursuers who are pressing on.
Zax stared at the desperate girl in front of him with red eyes.
"This scene seems to have experienced where the script is heavy, uh, forget it"
Looking at Zax, who raised his weapon without saying a word, Mirei Misaka still instinctively said something that had nothing to do with the situation in front of him.
The greatsword fell in an instant, just an ordinary slash, but the power attached to it was enough to cut through the steel.
Mirei Misaka leaned slightly sideways, and the heavy blade of the sword slashed against her cheek.
She then did a forward roll and slipped behind Zax.
This time, though, she didn't continue to run.
"Hmph, aren't you running away?"
With one hand slung the sword of destruction over his shoulder, Zax turned to the girl who was standing in place.
"Hey, running away or something, it's not my style."
Meiling, who looked unhappy, scratched her short brown hair,
"Besides, this kind of ordinary attack that only relies on brute force, do you think I won't be able to dodge?"
The moment she strikes, the angle and trajectory of the sword will be instantly seen through by her powerful computing power, as long as it is not a dodge beyond the limits of her body, it can be completed.
In the face of the girl's provocation, Zax was unmoved, clenched the destruction sword in his hand again, and suddenly swung it horizontally forward:
"Give it a try!"
As if waiting for him to make such a move, Misaka Mirei squatted down directly at the same time, and then held her head with both hands.
This action not only dodges the slash perfectly, but also comes with a powerful cute effect.,No,It's by the way to avoid the next change.
Rumble! ――
The wall behind Zax suddenly burst with a bang.
“?!”
Caught off guard, Zacks is engulfed by flames and a hurricane of heat.
Flew over the girl's head with her head in her arms, then rolled on the ground a few times, and didn't move.
There seems to be green smoke coming out of his body
"Oh, it seems to be more powerful than you think."
Miyoshi Misaka stood up in a good time and patted the dust on her body,
"Do you think I'm running around randomly? It's just to bring you here. ”
Facing the opponent who seemed to have lost consciousness, Meiling sighed:
"Don't play dead, I know this level is no threat to you."
As if in response to her, Zax slowly stood up.
It's just that the hair is a little messy, and there are no signs of injury on the body at all.
"It's just that I can't figure it out a little bit."
Sticking the sword of destruction into the ground with a thud, Zax took off the coat that was charred on his back
"There's no trace of magic, what's going on with the explosion just now?"
"It's nothing. It's just that when I passed by the car repair shop, I threw a few coins through the window, causing a short circuit in a few wires and catching fire, and then igniting the oil drums. Thank you for your expulsion technique, otherwise it would not have been possible to let the workers leave while working. ”
Misaka Meiling was not in a hurry and said with a smile:
"Although the time between the ignition of the oil leak by a short-circuited electric spark and the complete draining of the oil drum needs to be calculated, well, the explosion is basically about the same time as expected."
Pure calculation, taking all factors into account and then interfering and then calculating, and finally coming up with the result you want, even if you have no ability, you can cause a violent explosion with a small action.
This kind of computing power is actually a kind of ability in itself, and with this exaggerated computing power, you can be like a small butterfly in the butterfly effect, flapping its wings at will, and causing a tropical storm thousands of miles away.
It's just that the movement of the storm caused by the butterfly was unconscious and accidental. Misaka, on the other hand, can draw the conclusion that "when and where can a storm be caused by flapping her wings" through her huge computing power, that is, turning this "accident" into "inevitability".
For the same few coins, perhaps the average person can only buy a bottle of drink, but in the hands of Mirei Misaka, it can cause both a small explosion and an economic crisis.
Once you get rid of the shackles of superpowers, the huge computing power is terrifying.
“”
Zax. Phil, for the first time, really began to pay attention to the girl in front of him.
She has mastered a realm that is very different from magic, and is a formidable enemy.
"I'm really sorry that I still despised you before."
Removing his charred coat and shirt tie, revealing Zax, who was dressed in a strong suit inside, pulled the sword of destruction from the ground.
Holding the big sword in front of him with both hands, his gaze was more serious than ever:
"Well, it seems that it is not possible not to return the gift. Next, you'll be fighting as a close opponent! ”
"I'm sorry, but I'm actually talking to you here, and I'm also calculating. It's almost time."
There was a sudden rumbling on the ground between Zax and the girl. The girl chuckled and said:
"I don't want to fight you evenly~"
The four-meter-tall Kabbalah gargoyle reappeared in front of Zax.
(Calculated)
Zax instantly understood.
She knew that even if she did, she wouldn't be able to get far, and that it would make it harder for support to arrive, so she chose to stay where she was - she was dragging her feet from the beginning!
For the first time, Zax questioned his ability to act.
Have you become sluggish because of years of dormancy?
"--Fighting outside after school, you're really going to get me in trouble!"
Shirley, who was wearing a tattered gothic loli dress, calmly stepped into the battlefield, and her first sentence was a lecture to Mirei Misaka:
"I'll write down the accounts of sleeping in class and being late in the morning."
Then, impatiently waved his hand:
"The car is parked on the corner over there, go back and wait for me to clean you up."
This is to make Mirei Misaka retreat.
Although she hates this guy, it's her job to take care of this guy, so what she does should be to keep this guy safe.
"I'm sorry, Miss Shirley."
But Mirei Misaka scratched her brown hair, and her eyes glanced away:
"I'm not in the habit of leaving a lady behind and running away on my own."
Although she is the only one by herself, she will judge the situation and retreat temporarily, but let the woman run away by herself after the break, this kind of thing Misaka Meiling can't do.
"Bastard, what are you? Machismo? No, no, you're a girl yourself! #@¥%……”
A certain sense of disobedience made Shirley feel a little confused, but she quickly adjusted her emotions:
"Hey, I can't take care of you in battle, so I'll be blessed."
"Don't worry, I'm not weak to that extent."
After glancing at each other, the two turned their heads to face their opponents at the same time-
Looking at the expressionless Zax, Shirley said with a troublesome look:
"Well, I don't usually teach disobedient students, but—"
The bricks and gravel around it began to converge towards the four-meter-tall Kabbalah Gargoyle and became part of its body.
"Think of it as extracurricular tutoring! Gremlin!! ”
The next moment, a monster made of stones, asphalt, and steel bars pressed down on Zax.
