——AD.2155.9.2——

College City, Governor's Palace Reception Room.

After successfully apprehending the kidnappers who had been disgraced by the crash, Kaos and Miktor were taken to the Governor's Palace, while Lechtem worked with Xavier School Principal to clean up the aftermath, and Lena was requisitioned.

Miktor sat nervously on the living room couch, his hands resting honestly on his knees, while Kaos leaned back, feeling at home — perhaps removing the "likeness."

"Don't be nervous, Miss Mysaka, although you managed to help us catch a group of kidnappers," Zhou, who was rarely dressed in a sleek Star Alliance uniform, put down a cup of tea in front of Mikto and Kaos, "But the matter of penetrating the Mass Effect shield of the Academy City did keep us busy for a while. ”

"Are you saying the order of buts in reverse?" Kaos was dismantling the stage next to him, looking like a bear child.

"No," Zhou sat down on the sofa opposite the two of them, "After you sent that message to Colonel Claude, they were already unable to fly, and the subsequent losses, such as destroying the walls of the warehouse, were basically additional expenses." ”

"If compensation is needed...... Miktor asked, looking up and trying.

"No, no, no, even if we want to discuss the aftermath, we will talk to Ling Zun," Zhou waved his hand and interrupted the little girl's naïve proposal: "We invited you here this time to ask, do you have any intention of assisting Europa 7 in weapons research?" ”

"Are you kidding, this is the kind of thing that should be talked about with Dr. Missaka?" Kaos continued to dismantle the stage while drinking tea.

"No, Dr. Missaka is already assisting the Star Federation in weapon development, and asking him to help is just a matter of applying for a secondment, but Miss Miktor's affairs have to be decided by herself." Spread your hands around.

"So her abilities aren't the same as her father's?" Kaos continued to ask.

"Perhaps Dr. Missaka can screw a frigate with Mass Effect shields off into scrap metal with his bare hands, but he can't unleash a 'super cannon' with his bare hands." Zhou made an analogy.

"Hmm, macro and micro?" Kaos said in passing.

"Corvette...... Twisted into scrap metal ......" Miktor looked shocked.

"Of course, if this matter is implemented, it will involve a lot of money, and it will not be done overnight, you don't have to rush to reply, just inform me today, please think about it at your leisure." Zhou picked up his own cup and gestured to Kaos: "Kevin, the colonel asked me to tell you that I will stay in the Governor's Mansion for one night today." ”

"Needless to say? I guess the bad guys haven't all been caught yet, right? Kaos lifted his chin in a smug gesture that matched a young boy's guess.

Actually, there's no problem going back to the dormitory today, if those guys can't think of revenge, they can be a little merciful, and their lives won't have to worry too much, but their sanity is not possible.

After dinner, Kaos, who saw off Miktor and Zhou, welcomed two uninvited guests.

"Kevin~Long time no see~Did you miss your sister~"

"No, thank you."

Kaos covers his face with both hands, dodging Eva Kuhl, who pounces on her face and pinchs her face.

It's so dangerous, she almost got it, and in that case, Naia is afraid that she won't have to laugh for a year.

"Kevin means that he's already a man, and he can't be treated the same way he treats a child." Jack Harper arches the fire on the side.

"You two should be very busy, why do you have time to come over?" Kaos ran directly to the second floor of the living room, poked his head out and asked condescendingly. Jing Ai Books

"Of course, I didn't have time to come here until I was done." Eva answered as she chased upstairs.

"Hmm......"

According to Kaos, Jack Harper was the captain of the destroyer Cronus and the deputy commander of the Europa VII Local Defense Fleet, with Eva Kuhl as the destroyer's pilot.

This destroyer was supposed to be the wingman of Lechtem's flagship cruiser "Rome" along with Zhou's "Kunpeng", but because the construction of that cruiser was slow and had not yet been installed, the two destroyers, which had been built first, had to go their own way.

Now it seems that Lechtem wants to blockade the planet to find the ghosts, and he really has to arrest his descendants to work, and after their work in the sky is completed, they can naturally make a cameo appearance in the security work on the ground.

By the way, if Jack's vehicle could be controlled manually, Eva would have been the driver.

In this case, Jack must not dare to have an affair, otherwise one exposure will have to be wiped out by Eva's hand - after all, it's been a year, and the relationship between the two of them has reached the point of life and death?

Kaos shook his head to shake off thoughts that didn't belong to a ten-year-old boy, and escaped from Eva, who rushed over to pinch his face.

The security system of the Governor's Palace should be reassuring, and the ability strength he showed was quite strong, but the adoptive father still found these two to protect him, huh...... What a waste.

"So, you've caught the mastermind?" Kaos continued to ask as he slid down the handrail of the stairs.

"The mastermind didn't, it's just that someone recruited the guys who were caught." This time it was Jack who answered.

"Oh? Who did it? Kaosslo was a little skeptical that Miktor's "super electromagnetic cannon" had given the kidnappers some strange illusion.

"TerraFirma." Jack uttered a strange word.

"Uh...... Is this a code name for a person or an organization? No, doesn't it matter if you tell the secret so casually? Kaos began to circle around the couch with Eva.

"A pan-organization from the earth, there are no strict rules and regulations, and there is no clear leader, and you don't even need to apply to join or quit, as long as you agree with the same idea, you can count it as a part." Jack's tone became slightly helpless.

"What idea?"

"[For the blue and pure world]."

"Huh?"

Kaos was caught by Eva in a distraction, so she decisively covered her face.

"It's the slogan, and their core philosophy is: 'All technological developments should make the planet a better place'." Jack continued.

"Ah, I think I've heard of it."

"They used to be just a loose group similar to an environmental organization, but with the development of Element Zero and Mass Effect technology and the connection of repeaters to more and more Gaia planets, their concept of only caring about the earth and not wanting to develop outward gradually disappeared from the market, so some behaviors began to appear that did not comply with the laws of the Star Alliance, and these behaviors only need to be the same as ' The Guardian of the Earth's hook will naturally garner a large number of sympathy votes, and it is almost impossible to judge normally, and it is simply impossible to distinguish which ones are real and which ones are fraudulent. Jack spread his hands.

"So, they think that the study of this new thing should be done on Earth? But if you do it by kidnapping the children of the academy city...... This argument is simply untenable. ”

"Unless we can find another black hand, we can only accept this statement," Jack added, "because the inner ghost has not yet been found, so Eva and I will protect you at the Doge's Palace tonight." ”

If it's the guy who dares to storm the Governor's Palace, it's not certain who will protect whom.
