1143, Alien Colossus (23)
——AD.2155.9.2——
College City.
Watching the security robot go all the way away, Kaos, who was hiding in the alley formed between the buildings, turned to Mikto half-jokingly and half-angrily and said:
"Hey, do you think this scene sounds familiar?"
But the little girl was also very aggrieved:
"I swear it's the vending machine's hand first! It electrified me! ”
Well, it's not impossible, if she did initially control her own current and didn't let them automatically destroy the electrical appliances she touched, those researchers hiding in the corner would naturally have a way to make the vending machine that was obviously manipulated "actively attack" to trigger an automatic counterattack.
But there was no need to talk to her about it.
"That's 'static electricity', right?" Kaos mimicked Naia's disgusted gaze when she looked at herself.
"......" Miktor's eyes widened, trying to say something but there was nothing to say.
"At the end of the day, it's your lack of control over your abilities," Kaos took the opportunity to say nonsense: "The non-threatening 'attack' of static electricity shouldn't trigger a counterattack, otherwise one day you put on a thick sweater, wouldn't you touch something with electricity?" ”
"That's why my father won't let me wear that?" Miktor thought thoughtfully.
Belch...... It seems that the crooked fight is explaining this?
"Forget it, it doesn't matter, don't worry about the vending machine, your dad will pay for the repair anyway," Kaos pressed his wrist and called out the universal tool: "Little K, plan a return route and avoid the security robot." ”
"[Completed]."
Not...... This tortuous route......
"Over here," Kaos said as he looked at the map and led the way, "because the vending machine was vandalized twice, the patrol range of the security robots has been significantly expanded. ”
"Where is this, and why do all the houses look the same?" Miktor looked around curiously.
Compared to the schools, dormitories, and commercial districts, the "houses" here are almost all huge white boxes.
"The school, the airport, and other buildings that look very different in shape have the same internal structure as the houses here, except that some of the unimportant building blocks do not need to be decorated," Kaos, who is already familiar with the college's urban planning, replied. ”
"Huh?" Memory is not wrong'? Kaos Claude ...... Could it be ......," Miktor muttered.
She finally thought of it? However, the identity of the Governor's son is really nothing to keep secret, and if you ask, you can admit it.
"You're not—"
Buzz ~ Buzz ~ Buzz ~
"Sister-sama—"
Before Mictor could speak, with a familiar "teleportation" sound, Lena Oxton appeared out of thin air and hung directly on Miktor.
This guy has a day off, why not only did he not "demagnetize", but it looked even more serious?
"My sister is really here~" Lena shouted: "I will know as soon as I see the vending machine destroyed~"
"Hey...... Wait a minute...... You let go ......" Miktor tried to pull her off her body, but apparently he didn't have enough strength, so he turned his eyes to Kaos for help.
No, I don't want to do this high-risk job of "tearing two entangled girls apart".
"Lena-san?" After thinking for a while, Kaos decided to reason: "You should know that your liking for Miktor-san is only caused by the drastic change in the current in your body, right?" ”
"Maybe it was like that yesterday~" Lena has no intention of letting go at all: "But after thinking about it for a day, I found that my sister should be my true love~"
The kid was hopeless, and Kaos stretched out his hands to Miktor and made a helpless expression.
"Damn-" Afraid to continue electrifying her to aggravate her condition, Miktor instead tries to physically attack Lena.
"Oh ~ the spur of my sister's love ~" had little effect.
"It's—huh?" Kaos was about to tease when he suddenly raised his eyebrows and looked at the sky.
A transport ship sprayed with the Starlink logo passed through the Mass Effect shield that shrouded Academy City, and landed straight on the roof of a warehouse some distance from there.
This is completely out of specification.
When a massive object breaks through the planet's atmosphere from outer space, it will cause bizarre phenomena such as electromagnetic chaos, storms and lightning and thunder, and the current general explanation is that the charge it brings from the universe interferes with the ionosphere, so the ships above the frigate level will be built in the orbital space station, and there is no need not to enter the atmosphere, even if they have to enter, they will choose to stay away from the city, and the frigate and ships below have to enter the airport to remove the charge.
Although it did not cause anomalies, Kaos could clearly see that the transport had landed directly from space, with no intention of heading to Starport, and Europa VII's warning system for the ship's violations had not been activated - it seems that the Governor has to catch the ghosts.
"Kaos: There's a suspicious transport ship that landed directly from space. (Picture)]"
"Leave Lina alone, you can come with me behind her back, pay attention to concealment." Kaos beckoned to Miktor and walked briskly along the wall in the direction the transporter had landed.
"Bad guys?" Mictor asked questions about her age, and then ignored Lena and followed.
"Cut, do you think I'm going to mess around with any occasion?" Lena flashed straight down.
"Avoiding the location where the transport ship could directly see, they certainly didn't dare to turn on full-band scanning." Kaos didn't bother to point out that she said she was "messing around", projecting her perception while keeping her stealth close.
On the roof of the warehouse, the warehouse was hovering after the transport ship was opened, and several staff members were handing over, busily checking the formalities and signing, and it seemed that they were going to carry a dozen and a half rectangular silver boxes on board.
The whole scene was so natural that it was impossible to fault if Kaos hadn't "seen" the boxes full of babies and toddlers who had fallen asleep or unconscious bound by life-support devices.
This is his original "classmates", and Kaos instantly understands their identity: children who have been irradiated by [Element Zero] and are showing signs of abnormal awakening.
Due to the change in the form of the academy city, the arrangement for them has also changed from "direct enrollment and special care" to "enrollment when they grow up in the academy city", and during this time, if someone takes the opportunity to modify the data and make some children who are orphans "disappear", it is difficult to find out.
As for the forces that kidnapped them, it was also clear that one or a group of careerists who did not belong to the Star Federation and were eager to study abilities but had no way.
Although these children will be treated well wherever they are, and perhaps better on the side of the careerists, this is a slap in the face of Lechtem, and Kaos certainly won't allow it to happen.
But isn't it an exaggeration to summon a bunch of tentacles to shoot them all away?
[Lechtem: Protect yourself, I'll be there soon.] 】”
Well, can't wait, Kaos turned his head to look at Miktor, who was following him closely, with a look of great interest, as if he was ready for a big adventure:
"Hey, do you know what a 'Railgun' is?"
