At the same time, the other side.

In the special department of the student canteen, five or six meters outside the gate, more than a dozen self-discipline machines are quietly suspended, forming a semi-arc-shaped barrier belt.

In the center of the encirclement, there are Youmeng and Otilia who brought up the ingredients before, talked and laughed and prepared to leave.

But at this moment, there was no longer any relaxed look on the faces of the two.

Yumeng tried to take a few steps outside, and as soon as he got closer, the autonomic mechanism that was originally in a silent state automatically activated, waving a mechanical arm that flashed with an arc of electricity to attack.

But as long as Youmeng retreats to the gate of the student canteen, the self-discipline machine will not chase forward, and will return to its original position to remain stationary.

"We can't get out at all, can we just stay here? Ollie, think of a way! ”

Time passed little by little, the red on the horizon had begun to fade slowly, the starlight began to flicker gradually, and Yu Meng had no idea of talking to a group of mechanical tentacle monsters.

"No, the signal reception channels of these autonomous machines have been closed."

Otilia shook her head solemnly after trying to communicate again.

Under normal circumstances, the main job of the self-discipline machinery patrolling the campus is to solve emergencies or maintain discipline, and the primary purpose is to assist students in their work, so there will be no unilateral closure of communication signals in any case.

In the current situation, there is only one possibility, and that is a mandatory recruitment task initiated by the head of the academy or an academy staff with a clearance of LV5 or above, with special instructions.

"Do you want to get out...... Ollie: You can deal with a few. ”

Youmeng swallowed her saliva, her expression suddenly tightened.

Otilia raised an eyebrow, crossed her arms and glanced at Youmeng, and let out a sneer.

"Attacking autonomic machinery? I'm a member of the Discipline Committee to maintain order, okay? And unless you want to be driven around the academy every day by the Discipline Machinery and the Discipline Committee, don't do it. Or do you have a hobby in this area? ”

It's a battle royale with mechanical squid every day, and it seems scary to think about. Youmeng trembled, dispersed the spiritual power condensed in her hand, and obediently sat back on the steps of the student cafeteria, looking at Otilia.

"So what do you say...... Are you going to sleep here tonight? ”

Helplessly glanced at the self-discipline machine in front of him who completely refused to communicate, and for a while Otilia also felt at a loss.

Otilia sighed and said, "I can't do anything else, just ask Master Neva first." When I know who is doing the trick, I will never spare him. ”

One after another emergencies, if it was said that it was because Youmeng was dying. Then this time the self-discipline machine can be said to have really happened something she didn't know.

Otilia no longer hesitated, and directly opened her personal terminal to dial Antoneva's terminal, ready to seek off-site support.

Drip ~ drip ~ drip ~

Soon the communication request shows connectivity.

"Otilia, what's the matter?"

On the other end came Antoneva's calm, usual voice.

For some reason, hearing Antonieva's voice, the uneasiness in Otilia's heart intensified.

(Could it be the effect of a hangover?) Anyway, let's check the situation first. ）

Otilia shook her head, suppressed the strange uneasiness in her heart, and said quickly.

"Master Neva, Yumeng and I were locked at the door of the student cafeteria in the special department school district by a group of autonomic machines. We may need Mr. Neva to pick us up. ”

After a brief pause of silence on the other end of the communication line, Antoneva replied in a flat voice.

"Understood, for the time being, follow the requirements of the self-discipline machine, don't act aggressively, I'll understand the situation first. Anything else? ”

Frowning, the uneasiness in Otilia's heart became stronger and stronger, and she always felt that Antonieva had an indescribable sense of alienation, "There is nothing else, by the way, we also found some ingredients." ”

"Okay, I have some things to take care of on my side. Stay where you are, and I'll come over as soon as I can. ”

Honk~

Antoneva voluntarily ended the communication connection.

Youmeng on the side came over with some curiosity, and after hearing the call record of the two, her expression relaxed a lot.

Since Antoneva will come, then at most it should be an extra evening of self-study.

"Na, Ollie, I said you provoked Sister Neva during the day."

Yumeng pointed to the disconnected communication interface, "It seems that Neva-senpai is not very happy." ”

"Humph! Lord Neva is much busier than you think. ”

Because she couldn't find the source of her uneasiness, Otilia felt a little inexplicably irritable, and someone actually hit the muzzle of the gun.

Glancing at Youmeng with a cold face, Otilia snorted coldly in an unkind tone, "If it weren't for someone's drama, we would have returned to the institute by this time." Shut your mouth now, or I'll have to ice you again. ”

Since some indescribable pleasant things happened with Youmeng in that classroom, the blonde Xiaoice girl, who was still a little lacking in the face of Youmeng, regained her aura and once again returned to the proud aura she had when she first met.

But...... Otilia glanced at the dimmed personal terminal again, a flash of worry in her eyes.

(Did Yumo feel it too?) What is wrong with Lord Neva's emotions, and where does that disharmony come from? ）

"Forget it, it's better to be scolded if you are scolded, it's better to ask again."

After thinking about it, Otilia reopened her personal terminal with her right hand and directly opened the video communication with Antoneva, even if she was disgusted and scolded, she was more at ease.

Drip ~ drip ~ drip ~

The communication connection is successful - the image is being synchronized......

Soon, Antonieva's image appeared on the projection above the personal terminal.

Looking at the surrounding environment, it should still be in the research institute.

"Ollie, what, what's the matter?"

"Well, I ......"

Seeing Antoneva with her own eyes, Otilia was speechless for a while, and she didn't know what to say, so she didn't just want to see what Neva-sama looked like.

Smiling awkwardly, Otilia was about to say something casually.

At this moment, the badge on Otilia's chest suddenly flashed red, and a rapid alarm sounded.

[Alert! Alert! 】

[There is a high-level spirit battle reaction!] 】

[Attention to all members of the Discipline Inspection Committee! 】

【Urgent Mission Summoned!】 】

At the same time, the communication panel on the personal terminal has also been switched to the emergency commission interface of the Discipline Inspection Commission.

Otilia's eyes froze, this is a general alarm that will only be triggered when there is a large-scale spiritual event.

The Academy City is different from other cities, where more than half of the city's population is a trainee spirit or spirit person, and the average security team can only handle some very simple routine maintenance work.

In fact, the main thing that really maintains the order of the city is the management committee of the college city and the discipline inspection committee composed of elite students in each college.

"Really, at this time. I can't leave either. ”

Glancing at the automatics machine that was still in front of her like a city wall, Otilia was about to close the delegation interface and continue to communicate with Antoneva.

Ghostly, he slid his finger on the close button and clicked on the emergency mission.

[Emergency: High-level Spirit Fighter Battle (within the city)]

[Rating - Extremely Dangerous]

[Location: Outer City of the College City - "Dream Paradise"]

[Mission requirements: rescue and try to prevent combat destruction, allow direct extermination]

[Spiritual power fluctuation confirmed-]

[Spiritual power fluctuation confirmed, number 1, identity: Head of the Trait Department of the Jurasis Academy - Antoneva]

This...... This is!!?

Otilia's pupils contracted violently, and she glanced at Antoneva, who was still communicating in the background.

Suddenly reacting to the discord in her heart, Antoneva always called her Ollie, not her full name, this image - it was Noah!

The mission requirement is, [Allow Extermination]?!

In silence, Otilia turned off the communication and opened the path to the "Dream Paradise".

"Youmeng! Master Neva is in trouble, and if you want to help, follow suit. ”

"However, these self-regulatory mechanical ......"

Rumble!

Hail tornado!

A torrent of ice crystals blasted forward from Otilia's fingers, knocking the autonomic machinery in front of it away.

On the ground, frost spread, and the hot summer day instantly became like winter.

The cold voice of the young lady of the Discipline Inspection Committee came from his ears.

"Keep up!"
