A wisp of light smoke gently spit out from the bright red lips, and the pair of Danfeng eyes looked at the group of people in suits and leather shoes standing in front of them with serious faces.

"What? Just escaped and can't wait to know the truth? ”

The witch leaned back lazily in her long-backed chair and said knowingly.

"Ma'am, please forgive us for being abrupt. But what happened around us before was too unbelievable. Even when I met BETA, I had never been so weird. ”

George, the current president of the United States, glanced at Joseph, who had an attitude of not caring about himself, and said to the witch in front of him who had the beauty of seducing all beings.

"Huh." The witch smiled, glanced at George, and said, "After asking others for help, shouldn't we change our attitude?" Besides, Lin Mingmei is almost exhausted in order to maintain your consciousness. You, you, shouldn't you go and thank someone first? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone, including George, realized that the witch in front of them had issued an eviction order. If we continue to be entangled like this, let alone the truth, I am afraid that it is unknown whether we will even be able to stand here in the following days.

What happened before is still fresh in my mind.

A few days earlier, halfway through the all-out counteroffensive, when the fruits of victory were about to be in our hands, a sudden catastrophe struck.

In the big cities of various countries, there are a large number of injuries all of a sudden.

Among them, in addition to civilians, there were also soldiers and police officers who participated in the attack. In addition, there have been hundreds of incidents of inexplicable and sudden attacks on colleagues among the military and police who have been dispatched to maintain order. All of a sudden, chaos descended.

Moreover, this is not only happening in large cities with complex foot traffic. Even the command center, which was hundreds of meters underground, suddenly broke out in such a violent and chaotic incident.

If it weren't for Washington, who was guarding Lin Mingmei's side, to lend a hand, I am afraid that it would take at least half an hour for this command center to get out of the chaos, otherwise, the command center that fell into chaos would plunge the frontline battlefield into a terrible disaster.

Subsequently, at the suggestion of the witch, Lin Mingmei, who served as a diplomatic ambassador, stood up, faced everyone's puzzled eyes, and sang a song of tranquility.

A catastrophe, spread by the song, quietly came and went.

Whether it is the black body with the powerful power that can destroy the original No. 1 HIVE with a single blow, or Lin Mingmei, who has the mysterious power and can save everyone in the strange and terrifying unknown disaster before, all of this is beyond the understanding of human beings in today's world. Not to mention, the mighty fleet that is still quietly entrenched in Earth orbit.

After saluting the witch, Joseph followed the others out of the room. In the following time, he had to go to the infirmary to visit Lin Mingmei, who was resting.

"O ignorant people!"

The witch took her pipe and said sarcastically.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.

"I'm an ignorant man compared to them! Witch-sama. Now, can you tell me the truth about the open world? ”

"Huh. How? You can't wait? Lovely Legionnaire. The witch snapped her fingers, and He's inexplicable avatar appeared in front of her.

As soon as she heard the word cute, the witch could see that He Inexplicable's eyebrows jumped sharply twice.

"Whew~"

As a puff of smoke rose, the witch said slowly, "Don't worry. Although I hid it from you this time, it was you who benefited the most after all. I can guarantee this in the name of the castle. Even the guy from Veros is guaranteed. ”

"So, what about Akemi?" He inexplicably's face was solemn. Although on the side of the original No. 1 HIVE, the strength displayed by Lian was enough to make He inexplicably feel shocked, but then after learning the news that Lin Mingmei had fainted, if it wasn't for the witch's assurance, He was inexplicably afraid that he would have rushed to Lin Mingmei's side.

The witch blinked, put down the pipe in her hand, and said solemnly, "Before that, I'll ask you a question. What was the feeling you felt when you first encountered the abyss? ”

"Is this the first time you've encountered it?" He frowned inexplicably and thought for a while. "It's chaotic, it's crazy, it's like chaos."

"Yes. This is the manifestation of the abyss in the material realm most of the time. The witch nodded, raised her finger a little, and immediately a black cloud appeared in the void, and there was a faint mass of air that was tumbling endlessly. This is to capture the abyss in the material realm by some means. ”

"This, so dangerous?!!" He looked at the black mist that was held on the palm of the hand by the witch in surprise inexplicably.

"Don't worry! This scum, which can't even reach the first level, as long as I untie the binding force field, will immediately be obliterated by the rules of the great universe of the material world. The witch raised her hand, and the small black mist was thrown into the air. In the blink of an eye, it dissipated completely.

"When the abyss appears, there will be ten levels of alarm. The two Abyss Alerts you've encountered before have been close to level 6. Once it is level 8. With each level, the damage caused by the abyss to the material world also increases exponentially. The highest level 10 Abyss Alert can wipe the solar system off the star map within 72 hours and swallow the Milky Way within 30 days. If left unchecked, soon, this universe will also be swallowed up by the abyss. ”

"But, didn't Lian easily erase the original No. 1 HIVE?" He inexplicably remembered the powerful power that Lian had burst out from driving the Venerable Gundam before, and he felt that the so-called abyss level seemed to be a little false.

"Haha..."

Suddenly, the witch laughed and trembled.

"O my lovely Legionnaire! You're delusional. In fact, at that time, the occurrence point of the level 8 abyss alarm was not only the original No. 1 HIVE, and the occurrence point of the abyss alarm above level 8 did not exist alone, but existed in plurality. ”

"At that time, with the exception of yours, almost all of the other points of occurrence erupted in the human sphere of influence. Fortunately, Lin Mingmei happened to be here. Under her singing, all humans infected by the abyss are brought under control. But due to the large number, Lin Mingmei finally fainted. ”

"And the reason why Lotus was able to easily erase it was because the time for the abyss eruption was too short, and it was not able to attach a tricky layer of abyss energy to the surface."

"But didn't you say that the open world was stabilizing? Why did you suddenly run out of the abyss? He inexplicably raised another question.

"Stability doesn't mean hidden dangers disappear. If stability were a sign of security, then, me, and you, your fleet wouldn't be here. The reason for the formation of the open world is because of the invasion of the abyss. Only by luring out and clearing the abyssal power hidden in the open world can the open world once again be integrated into the world guarded by the extradimensional fortress. Otherwise, the open world will be the beginning of the collapse of the Extradimensional Fortress. ”

The witch slowly reveals the truth of the open world.

"In other words, I, my fleet, am the bait that lures the abyssal power that lurks in this world?" The corners of He's mouth moved inexplicably, revealing a truth.

The witch calmly admitted, "Yes. In a Hyperdimensional Fortress, the challengers who are qualified to be decoys have no strength, and the powerful challengers are too powerful to enter the open world. Looking at the data, Veros believes that only you have the strength to take on this decoy role. ”

The witch paused and smiled, "Don't worry about that. Judging by the current progress, your bait is still good. What's more, the rewards you're about to get are also huge. ”

"Return? When the bait still pays off? He smiled bitterly inexplicably.

"Of course. One thing to one thing. Although Veros always likes to calculate people, he can still give a very good reward afterwards. The witch smiled shrewdly. So, taking this opportunity, I also took Lian and Vivierne to rub the credit. ”

His eyelids jumped a few times rapidly, and He opened his mouth inexplicably.

"It turns out that the reason you said before for the vacation was nonsense?"

"No! There is no conflict between taking credit and taking a vacation. Besides, didn't Vivigne do you a great favor? The witch's face did not change, and she didn't feel that there was anything wrong with watching all the way, but just mentioning a few words at a critical time to rub the credit for herself.

He inexplicably twitched his mouth and changed the subject. "I WENT TO ARRANGE FOR THE FLEET TO CARRY OUT ORBITAL BOMBARDMENT OF THE REMAINING HIVE. Nowadays, it is no longer possible to cherish the land. The only thing we can do is to wipe out the power of the abyss from the earth. ”

"Hmm. Truly. In this world, those bugs are indeed outliers. Also, don't hesitate to look forward to the reward! ”

"Until then, I'll have to come back and see Akemi." He waved his hand inexplicably, and then went to arrange the follow-up mission of the fleet.

Since HIVE is suspected of abyssalization, then He can no longer give up the practice of "burning glass" for the sake of protecting the land. You know, this is a seven-wound punch that kills a thousand enemies and hurts seven or eight of them!!

but

As it stands, this is the only way.
