As early as a long time ago, when the demolition city was requisitioned, the relevant person in charge had already begun the plan to build a new experimental base, the base layer at the bottom and various facilities and spaces were built, and all that remained was more detailed reinforcement and inspection, just in case, and the relevant personnel were arranged to visit here on the spot.

Because of this situation, when the area was bombed by carpet and large-scale bombing, the floors below the ground also collapsed due to the cracking and shaking of the earth.

Ring by link, a whirlpool of quicksand appeared in the center of the demolished city that had been ransacked by the missile swarm, which could also be seen as a funnel leading to the underground, engulfing everything around it.

Buildings, vehicles, corpses, everything in this area were swallowed up by the whirlpool of quicksand in the center, and finally disappeared into the abyss of no light.

The same is true of the research base that was teleported to the surface, due to its recent massive collapse, it had no resistance to the quicksand, and could only slide in the direction of the quicksand, becoming part of the abyss.

And on top of the broken ruins, there are many buildings that are gradually being sucked over, and these buildings collide with each other, making loud noises and bouncing off each other, and then crashing down.

However, when a building topple in a collision, a dazzling light suddenly emerges from the area of the ruins that is about to be impacted, followed by a powerful impact that blows away the ruins that cover the top.

The power came from a pale-faced magician who clutched the wound on his right hand that had been cut open, coughing up blood as he looked back.

His current location is the central level of the experimental base, but this level is currently lying on the quicksand, and it is gradually sinking as it moves, so he knows that he must escape as soon as possible.

"Time is running out! The magical enchantment we've repaired is running out of steam! So speed sends them to the top!! ”

"We know this! But...... Just maintaining this space is tricky enough! I don't have any other free time!! ”

"Damn it! Damn it! Case...... I think we have only one choice, after all, the magic is running out......"

"That's the only way to do it! This is a necessary sacrifice! It is also a sacrifice for them to take revenge again! ”

The magicians who talked like this had found Anasta and Hiiragi, who were seriously injured and dying, and their limbs were almost shattered, most of their bones were broken, and their skin was burned, and it was already a miracle of miracles that they were able to survive.

However, they also remembered that Anasta had said that 'desperate guys are stupid and stupid', so the reason why she survived must have used some special technology, or else it would not be such a coincidence.

"Our healing power alone won't work!! Ahem, ahem, ahem, ......! ”

"That's why we want to temporarily send them to the hell connected to the magic enchantment! It only takes three seconds! Three seconds...... I can sacrifice myself to the rulers of hell! ”

"Be careful! The magic barrier on the left side of the top has collapsed!! ”

As a large amount of dust and rubble smashed into the space, and the vision gradually blurred, the magicians who were desperate to survive made the same decision.

In the past, when they followed Anasta, their purpose was to simply survive, no matter what they did, to make themselves survivors of the mission, but now......

Is it because of a change in mindset or something else?

The magicians who followed Anasta didn't think it through, but they knew they had to keep these two alive.

The reason for this......

"I don't want the light in my eyes to be extinguished, the light of the future...... At least let it continue into the real future!! ”

The magicians are looking for a successful future and the glory of victory, but now their mentality has changed.

As I said earlier, the light they have been chasing is about to be extinguished, so if they want to rekindle their fighting spirit and continue to shine, then the right thing to do now is to heal the seriously injured Anasta, and Sevenchi Hiiragi is just an incidental person.

Faced with the dying Anasta, they can't use conventional means to heal them because they don't have much magic, so it's the turn of the aforementioned 'Hell'.

They also let Tamar connect to Hell during the battle, but the connection is very shallow; On the one hand, the consumption of magic must be considered, and on the other hand, it must also be considered in its own danger.

"Is this the end?!"

"I want to live too!!"

"It's the same for everyone! It's just that this world won't be so beautiful!! ”

The magicians canceled the maintenance of the magical barrier and sent Anasta and Hiiragi to Hell to heal them with the power of Hell.

However, this is not without cost, the magic of hell is polluted, and those who are disturbed will gradually become veritable demons, and even lose their rationality as human beings.

It's just that the current magicians can't control so much, and their first purpose is to keep Anasta alive.

The magic of the interfering plane consumed a lot of mana, causing the magic that maintained the entire venue to completely collapse, and the surrounding walls and quicksand instantly poured into the people in the center, and everything was about to end again!

Suddenly a voice sounded!!

"Let's go up!!!!!"

There was a mutation below——!!

Tamari is here at this moment!

He endured the pain and made a move against his almost shattered body!

In the past, Tamari was also a member of the redemption.

For Tamar, Anasta's strength lies in the fact that she knows how to find her place for others, and even if she can't find it, she can fit into a group and have her own partners.

Tamari was sure that Anasta, who had always fought alone, actually liked her companions.

Her purpose is not to live alone, but to live together, and this is the power of the group.

It's just that once you get to the brutal battlefield, the strength of the individual will become the key.

This time......

It seems that we can't move forward together.

At the same time, the roaring Tamari lifted the ground beneath their feet and threw it into the distance.

"Mr. Tamary!!"

The magicians saw it!

The crowd then flew into the air, and Tamar, who had done the action, collapsed and fell into the dusty quicksand......

The flying slabs of earth smashed into the non-collapsing area, and just as the magicians had completed the entire 'healing technique', they had pulled the two people who had been sent to hell out again.

It's just that both of them are currently sealed in scarlet gems, which can be seen as an anomaly caused by the magic of the Hell infection.

At this moment, the frightened magicians noticed the light in the distance.

"Hey...... Just kidding...... It's ......."

"Army planes?!"

The magicians, who had little magic and personnel left, were powerless to resist, and it was useless for them to drag the sealed two people around, because it was too late.

"They're coming!!"

The plane overhead was a helicopter and landed in an open field not far away, apparently intending to capture them alive......

[The result?] 】

[The designated area was completely destroyed, including two research bases, so that outside investigators would not know what was here, only a pile of 'ruins destroyed by superpowers'.] 】

[That's the end of it...... Did the satellite detection find anything strange? 】

[Not at the moment, after the massive bombing of the whole area, everything has become 'quiet', and the troublemakers must have disappeared.] 】

When the plan ended, the chat rooms on the Internet became more lively.

[What about the on-site investigation?] Don't have intelligence yet? In such a situation, high-tech is not necessarily reliable, after all, the target is some kind of guy who can create miracles. 】

[Miracle? I think there's definitely some sort of explanation for their superpowers, but for now...... Everything disappeared in the explosion. 】

As soon as this man finished speaking, the person in charge of the intelligence gathering gave surprising information.

【There are changes!】 They found the escaped superpowers in the fringe after the explosion! 】

[What about the quantity?] 】

[There are ...... total Five, two of them were wrapped in some crystals, and the remaining three did not resist, probably because after the civil war, there was no strength enough to resist; Just in case, the anesthetic treatment was taken as soon as possible, and the troops at the scene asked if they wanted to amputate the three people, even if they were superpowers, it would be difficult to resist without limbs. 】

[Since it is a survivor, it is a precious sample, there is no need to do that, let's recover it under control.] 】

[I think it's better to transport it directly to offshore oil wells, as for the research equipment...... It's okay to adjust to the scene in a short time, right? However, the main study is the collection of samples, and experiments on living subjects must be observed for a period of time. 】

The crowd agreed with the proposal, and asked the people below to carry it out.

For this unexpected discovery, new topics soon emerged.

[Counting the two people wrapped in crystals, there are a total of five samples, how do you think they are distributed?] 】

[I said that the experiment of living organisms should not be rushed, if it is only the study of blood, skin and other organs, I think it can meet everyone's needs. 】

[I hope some guys don't sneak away, everyone must supervise each other.] 】

The superpowered person is the one who brings destruction, and at the same time can bring about a kind of change, and the people in the room are pursuing the latter, the expected change.

[Before doing all this, don't forget how dangerous they are, and you must pay full attention to their changes at all times, preferably so that they are unable to act on their own.] 】

[Of course, other than that...... All that's left is the external explanation. 】

[The superpowers who can move freely have disappeared, so as long as we unify the caliber, there will be no problem; The information that was previously disclosed to the Internet did have a great impact, but it still did not shake the foundation. 】

[Has the publisher investigated?] 】

[No ......]

It's something that makes them unhappy, but they don't think about it now, there's one thing they really care about.

[Next, let's treat those 'superpowers' who don't make trouble!] 】

In the hotel near the harbor in the city of water, Alice is looking out to sea, feeling the slightly cold wind on her cheeks.

There are luxurious-looking cruise ships in the port area, and it is estimated that the passengers there are high-class people, and most of them are there to participate in the city's celebrations.

It was half past three in the morning, but even at this time when you should have been asleep, the whole part of the water city was very lively.

"It seems that just like Mr. Gu Wu said, the city is quite lively, but I can't imagine that they will continue to hold all-night celebrations under such circumstances."

Alice said this, and then tightened the yukata on her body.

"You met him?"

"I thought Miss Altair didn't like to chat with me~ As for Mr. Gu Wu, I met it after taking a bath, speaking of which...... Miss Lydia, who needs enough rest, forget it, Miss Altair doesn't go to take a bath? It's very comfortable. ”

"I don't need to, it's just a waste of time for me."

Unless it was under certain circumstances, Altaïr would not have bathed at all, after all, he had the skill to clean up stains, which was many times easier than wasting time washing his body.

"Yikes! Firework! Miss Altair! There's fireworks over there! Fireworks on the water! ”

"En......"

"It's so cold, I just saw Mr. Frieza fly over, Miss Altair should also come over and have a look?"

"No, it's just a noisy activity of a group of people gathered together."

After saying that, Altair entered the house, and did not continue to observe the changes in the city area on the right hand from the balcony with Alice.

Due to the hotel's location near the port, they couldn't see the whole city from their room, but even so, she could clearly feel the bustle of the city without seeing the city center.

Seeing Altair leave, Alice was not left alone on the balcony.

"Miss Altair, may I ask you a few questions?"

“……”

Altair, with his eyes closed, did not respond, so Alice took it as a default action.

"How did you and Mr. Gu Wu meet?"

Altaïr did not ignore the other again, but simply replied

"It's pretty much ...... now"

"Do you live together?"

"You can say that, but it's a completely different situation, it's just ...... I have an absolute working relationship with him. ”

"Do you trust each other's companions? I don't have that kind of person around. ”

Alice muttered, finally asking

"Is Miss Altair happy now?"

It's a stupid question.

Altaïr opened his eyes and made a final response

"I hate it...... But for me now, it's just an additional condition for happiness. ”

Altair, who closed her eyes again, began to rest, and next, she hoped that she and Gu Wu could quickly resolve the farce here.
