"How long does it take to completely thaw?"

"At least a month."

"No, it's too slow!"

"Speeding up means doubling the danger!"

"Double it, double it, and there are as many pawns as you want."

“…… But it will also increase the risk of being discovered by the Empire............"

"It doesn't matter! What matters is comprehensive and detailed experimental data, and it doesn't matter how many people are sacrificed for this! ”

“……………… I know. ”

Director Rivers left with a gloomy face.

(The fundamental reason why I am not treated well by professors is that I hate these life-wasting, unruly guys from the bottom of my heart.) ）

And seeing that he was about to leave, Hamus, who was standing at the feet of the apostle with a drunken face, suddenly said: "Senior, it's really true that the professors evaluate you as a waste. ”

But Rivers was stunned.

"Get out! There's nothing for you to do here, go do your job! ”

Faced with Dr. Hamus, who suddenly humiliated him, the director's heart was blazing with rage!

However, reason finally overwhelmed emotion. He knew where he stands, so he could only leave with a blushing face.

Silence returned to the subterranean space.

"Come out, the guy in the way is gone."

Hamus's voice echoed through the empty space.

No one answered.

"You've been following us since we entered the lab, and now you're not going to show up, aren't you?"

………………

“………… Girl, you're so much better than that bad old man who doesn't have any fun. ”

"Don't say that about seniors, he's still quite humorous when he's not nervous, and he's only in his forties this year."

"I can't see it, the guy in his forties is older than me."

"I can't help it, because I'm busy."

"Maybe so, I usually leave official business or something to my adjutant, run to exercise or something, and I don't understand how busy I am."

"I'll observe a three-second silence for your adjutant."

"Well, what a good boy."

"You've won the prize, it's just basic hospitality. In contrast, you enter someone's home without the host's order, which is not what a guest should do. ”

"That's right, but if the owner here is planning to throw ice at my guest's house, it's not a big deal if I come over and be reasonable, right?"

"We just want to cool you down, it's still a very intimate free service, after all, it's been a neighbor for so many years."

"I don't really need it here, what kind of shaved ice do you eat in winter? I appreciate your kindness, so I personally came to thank you, after all, I have been a neighbor for so many years. ”

"You're so polite."

"You're too wasteful. It's good to keep this good shaved ice for yourself, and I can help smash it if I don't want to. But only if you don't throw it at my house. ”

"It's impossible, because this piece of shaved ice was made to commemorate our long-standing friendship with our neighbors."

"But...... What if we don't want to? ”

"For the sake of our painstaking efforts to get it here, we accept it with pain and despair...... That's all I can say to you. ”

"Huh...... That is, there is no need to talk about it. ”

"Well, that's right."

Hamus turned to look at Admiral Christine Saint-Boan, who was standing behind her at some point. Said with a smile:

"The situation now is simply - there is no need to talk about it."

Christine nodded: "Good." ”

She stretched out her right hand and completed an acceleration beyond physics in 0.01 seconds.

"Kill Right Hook."

Lazily shouted out the name of his move, and hooked Hamusi's ribs with a heavy punch with hundreds of tons of strength.

The latter flew up without saying a word, and his body was blown up in the air by the violent force in his body into fireworks made of flesh and blood, and the pieces of flesh that flew everywhere were scattered all over the ground.

Christine scratched her oily red hair that hadn't been washed for a few days, and looked surprised: "So brittle? ”

"Compared to General Christine's fist, my body is naturally very fragile."

Wisps of earth spirit qi emerged from the surface of the earth, wrapping around the pieces of flesh scattered all over the ground. The red human organs wriggled and crawled towards their companions, and automatically joined together. Within seconds, a naked Hamus reappeared in front of Christine.

"It's cold!"

"Of course it's cold without clothes!"

Christine stepped forward and threw her left fist.

"Kill Left Hook!"

Hamus, who had just been "reborn", became a piece of flesh again.

"Ah, it's the second time."

The pieces of flesh squirmed and "spoke" the words.

"But it's useless, General. With the means you have, there is no chance of killing me! ”

"Ah, yes."

The admiral picked up a piece of liver without changing his face and slapped it on the apostle's body.

"Hiss ............"

There was a hissing sound, and a piece of Hamus's liver froze into ice lumps.

"In vain, this way will not kill me. Even if you take all the pieces of my body and eat them on the barbecue, I won't die. ”

"What about the premise?"

"As long as the dragon veins are still there."

"You're pretty honest."

"Because with the general's IQ, I can't understand what a dragon vein is, so I'm very relieved."

“………………”

Christine silently picked up a scoop of slurry that resembled a brain and sprinkled it on the apostle's body.

"Hiss.................."

Hamus: ".................."

"It doesn't seem to be completely unaffected, after the brain is frozen, it seems that speech and reaction will also slow down, and it is no different from the warlocks I have met before who are good at dragon veins."

She glanced at a large mass of organs and organ fragments on the ground, such as the heart, kidneys, lung lobes, large intestine, and small intestine, and her eyes showed a look of disgust.

"It's not the first time I've seen this kind of scene, but it's still hard to let go, you monsters who play with life."

The organs on the ground, which were entangled in wisps of earth spirits, began to slowly squirm again, and a little flesh was separated from them to form a new liver and brain.

Once again, Hamus rose from the ground.

"Just as medicine is born from corpses, it is normal to pay a certain price for knowledge, and it is not a toying with life that we dissect corpses with a reverent heart."

The light of the refining array flashed, and a purple coat was draped over her body.

"Strong words."

"I'm just stating a fact."

Christine shook her head helplessly.

"That's why I hate dealing with you, all of them are sharp-toothed, and the immortal body is extremely unscientific."

Hamus tightened her coat.

"In fact, in our eyes, the people of the empire are also quite unreasonable, and the steel bone breathing method is not scientific at all."

At this point, the atmosphere of the conversation is quite friendly.

Christine gestured to the dormant Apostle.

"I'm going to smash it."

Hamus raised her hand and made a gesture of please.

"Please."

Seeing that she didn't mean to stop her, Christine didn't continue to punch her. Instead, he stepped aside and took a deep breath.

"Suck .................."

A long breath sucked in from her mouth.

"Hoo —————!"

When you spit it out, it's already full of sparks!

A pitch-black glow covered the general's two white arms, and flame-like lines scorched along the texture of the veins!

The cold air underground has been swept away! Instead, the surging of flames and the roar of steel!

Hamus opened her eyes, and the glow of the flame left a stunning silhouette in those eyes that could not see anything.

"Steel Bone Breathing Method, the two arms have been completely covered by the carbon substances excreted from the body, and the blood is stretched and the blood vessels show signs of burning, these phenomena do not match the seven stages of the steel bones on the data......... Is it getting stronger? It's really amazing, it's time to update the outdated information. ”

The empty underground space, with Christine as the center, created a violent storm. And in the eye of the wind, the general is crouching on his horse, his left hand in front of him, and his right hand raised above his head. His eyes were fixed on the apostle's huge body, and his momentum kept rising.

"Gaga...... Rattle...... Ga ......"

The fist bones clenched, and there was a rattling sound of steel bearings turning, and the bright red lines on the right hand became brighter and brighter, as if they were burning!

When Hamus, who was blown by the strong wind, was about to lose her eyes, Christine finally made a move!

"Super Kill: Straight Punch!"

As soon as you make a move, it's a shock!

The straight fist like a meteor smashing down went straight to the apostle with the momentum of not giving up, and the air currents set off along the way actually blew away the Hamus standing aside, and slapped her on the apostle's body and died again!

"Haa!!a

Laboratory, periphery.

Director Cores, who had just come out, suddenly felt a shaking under his feet, but it didn't take long for him to stop again.

"What's going on. Earthquake? ”

He wondered if this was the kind of area where earthquakes would happen frequently. Therefore, this earthquake with a low magnitude made him feel very unusual...... But that's it, he still has a lot of work to do.

Director Rivers got up and left.

Laboratory, Underground - Apostolic Depository.

Admiral Christine, who could feel the 300-meter underground shake to the ground, rubbed her wrist.

“………… This thing is so hard, no wonder you let me smash it so confidently. ”

"Actually, I don't know too much about the strength of the apostles............ But if you are easily killed by the general, it just proves that it has no value. ”

Hamus squeezed her shoulders.

"Humph! Girl, I admit that I can't kill you, but you're not afraid that I will kill those ordinary staff members above? ”

"Well, not afraid. If you want to kill, you can kill as much as you want, anyway, there are as many things as there are pawns. ”

“………… Oh, it's cold-blooded. At the end of the day, you guys only value your own lives...... The so-called value of life is nothing more than a dozen gold coins that can buy a lot of carbohydrates. ”

"We can't say that, we just don't respect the living. Only when a person dies can he show such a good character as being willing to sacrifice for others, so we respect the dead...... Respect the experimental material. ”

Christine frowned in disgust, shook off her already dirty cloak, and turned to leave.

"Girl, your name is Hamus, right? I'll write your name in the notes I carry with me, and I hope you learn the truth that I can't stop me. ”

"Finally............ Don't let me see you on the battlefield, even if I can't kill you...... I also have 10,000 ways to make your life worse than death! If that body that can't be broken by tossing is put in a military prostitute camp, it will definitely be very popular, right? ”

Although she used interrogative sentences, her words were full of positive malice.

And Hamus, who had died again in the violent shaking just now, bid her farewell with her trademark smirk: "I will take your advice to heart. But with all due respect, it seems that the empire does not have a military prostitute camp. I've studied the empire a bit, and I still know that. ”

As the words fell, her eyes opened slightly.

"But then again, letting you go back now isn't quite what I expected. And I have to correct one thing: I am not without the strength to keep you here, the name of Hamus Summit, please remember it today. ”

A deep purple glow shone in the basement.

"It won't be long, a month will be enough. Saint-Doragon Imperial Admiral Christine Saint-Boan, I'm sorry, please stay here with me a little............ A month! ”
