Narrow corridors, mechanical walls and floors dominated by pastel colors -

The design and décor always make people feel that the corridor in front of you is like the interior of a space battleship that will appear in a space opera, or the passage of a submarine that you have seen in a movie.

The sound of footsteps echoed through the passageway that looked like a movie scene, and Rivers Shido came to a stop in front of a door at the end of the passage with a small electronic instrument panel on the side.

If it was the first time he had seen such a scene, he might have felt very surprised and shocked, but unfortunately this was not the first time.

This is the interior of the air ship Fraxinus, where the Ratatoskr organization serves as a base of activity, this air ship is floating at an altitude of 15,000 meters above Tiangong City, and the sister of Wuhe Shidao-

Gokawa Kotori is still the commander of this air ship.

With such a background as a foreshadowing, and this is not the first time he has come here, Wuhe Shidao naturally does not feel any sense of surprise or novelty, and now his mind is full of what happened before.

Is that an elf or not? Is the reason why the machine can't retrieve it because of the nature of the capability?

And his personality seems to be very dangerous...... No, it shouldn't be said to be "dangerous", but for a moment there was no other suitable word to describe it.

After all, he has only been in contact with two elves so far, and the Night Knife God Shika is attacked by humans every time she appears, so this encounter makes her full of fear and hostility towards humans, and she will attack people when she sees them.

Shiito is a different kind of personality, she is docile and timid by nature, she hardly dares to talk directly to people, and although she is the target of her own pursuit, she has always avoided the fight because she does not want to hurt others.

In this way, the former is an enemy who will fight back and hurt him, while the latter will not even fight back......

However, Gokawa Shido always felt that the boy was completely different from both. Although the other party seems to be a very gentle and casual personality, as long as he doesn't show ill will towards him, then he is actually just as easy to communicate.

This is the most intuitive feeling that Gokawa Shido felt after recalling the whole incident at that time.

- Although he only felt that the other party was out of tune at the time, but now that he looks back on it, he finds that compared to the other party at that time, he was just too gentle, but he didn't know it.

And the later boy's hands-on attack on the AST team members, although no matter how you look at it, is a passive counterattack, but I don't know why, Gokawa Shido just thinks that he is completely different from the night sword god Shika.

How to say it, unlike Toka, who was confused, sad and fighting back at the time, the behavior of that teenager was ...... Not the nature of the victim's angry counterattack.

It's the feeling that the high god indifferently raised the butcher's knife after being offended by mortals. There is no grievance or anger, it is purely a simple relationship that whoever offends him, he will kill whoever he wants.

God is as powerful as a prison, and the iron face is selfless. The order must be carried out, the prohibition must be stopped, the violation will be punished, and the heavy will be beheaded, and there is no mercy to follow.

If he goes to purgatory, he will repent of what he has done.

That's what Gokawa Shido feels like, even if it sounds ridiculous. But he just had no reason to feel that the boy was already high, free, and unrestrained as a matter of course.

Just as he was thinking—

In the next moment, a brisk sound sounded from the electronic instrument panel next to it, and the door slid open at this time.

With a long exhalation and a bit of emotion, Wuhe Shidao no longer dwelled on the previous things, and walked in directly. Starting through the door he passed, the floor inside stretched out into a semi-oval, with a chair in the center reminiscent of a captain's seat.

In addition, there are gentle stairs on the left and right sides, and if you continue down the stairs, you can see the crew operating precision instruments on the lowest floor. The overall scenery looks slightly dim, and the light on the screens set up here and there proudly declares its existence.

- In simple terms, this place looks like the bridge of a spaceship.

I heard the movement of Gokawa Shido walking in, and the captain's seat, which was originally facing away from this direction, made a low sound and slowly turned around.

It was a girl in a crimson military uniform over her shoulders, with her hair tied in a double ponytail with a wide black ribbon, a petite body, and round eyes like acorns.

Although he had seen his sister's "commander mode" many times, the boy still frowned. Because, no matter how you look at it, it still feels very disagreeable.

"Ha, what kind of faux pas do you have, Shidao ......"

Gokawa Kotori in Commander mode is not only slightly different in appearance, but also very different in attitude and tone, at least with Gokawa Shido's cute and weak sister really feels like two people.

At least the sister of the sister mode will not call herself by her name in such a tone.

Which mode of this is she disguised, or is it simply a split personality? Wuhe Shidao couldn't help but ponder.

"Actually distracted again, what's wrong with you today, is it because you see me, the commander, so you feel honored and overwhelmed? Very well, today I made a special exception and allowed you to lick my feet. ”

Gokawa Kotori raised her chin slightly, made a look down on her brother, and said a bunch of indecent words that didn't look like her sister should say.

“……”

“……”

I already knew how to deal with such a sister, Wuhe Shidao just scratched the back of his head, and then said very directly: "Call me over so quickly this time, is it because you have already had a result?" ”

"Hmph." Wuhe Qinli snorted softly and did not speak.

But the deputy commander of Shen Wuyue beside her is interfaced-

"The results of the analysis have indeed been preliminary, although the reaction of the person you said has not been detected, but it can indirectly prove his existence through the attack at that time......

"That's right......" Gokawa Shidao thought for a moment, and then felt that he had understood.

It's like a supernatural phenomenon in a horror movie, even if ordinary people can't see ghosts, but as long as ghosts start to interfere with reality, they will hurt people's lives. Even if it is invisible, at least it can prove that the invisible thing really exists.

After thinking for a moment, he asked, "So, that person...... Is it an elf? ”

I can't tell what kind of subtle mood it is, but when I asked this sentence, Wuhe Shidao only felt mixed feelings.

Because if the other party is an elf, it means that there is a way to deal with it, and he has a successful experience...... However, that method needs to be ......

But if the other party is not an elf, it means that there is a new type of calamity in this calamitous world that is beyond human comprehension in addition to elves.

For a moment, he had mixed feelings, and he didn't know what kind of answer he wanted to hear.

"It's an elf, so it's up to you to do it next." Wuheqin saw his brother's complicated eyes, and suddenly his bad taste came up.

"Huh? Eh——!! The nightmare came so suddenly, Wuhe Shidao almost stared out his eyes, and then he immediately subconsciously argued, "Wait, how can I do this, he ...... He's a man......"

"What does it matter, aren't you just a good woman?" Wuhe Qinli was noncommittal, and said lightly.

“……”

“……”

"Okay, I'm not joking with you, he shouldn't be an elf...... "Gokawa Kotori pouted, then reached out and pointed forward, "Look at that, this is the image captured at the time, the image after slowing down a hundred and twenty times......"

Images appeared on the screen of the bridge of the ship, showing what had happened not long ago.

"That, those silver threads are...... Spiritual costume? Angel? Why does it look so weird? Gokawa Shido narrowed his eyes and carefully read the freeze frame on the screen, and then felt a little confused, so he asked casually.

"It's said that he is not an elf, how can he have a spirit costume and an angel!" The girl glared at her brother, who had no memory at all, "According to the analysis of the test, these things at that time were actually ordinary steel wires. ”

“…… Steel wire? Or ordinary? Wuhe Shidao was a little suspicious that he had misheard.

At that time, that thing could easily cut through the road surface, street lamps, and buildings within a radius of hundreds of meters, and nothing could stop it, just like Shixiang's sword, such a power you told me that it was an ordinary steel wire?

It's not a sword qi or something, it should be something else, right?

"Actually, it's a tightrope, but it's just a tightrope swinging at that speed, and it's not surprising that it has that power......" Gokawa Kotori shook his head, and his tone became cautious.

"But we still don't know what kind of existence he is, except that it's certainly not human, but some kind of elf-like, or even more dangerous life......"

"The only good news is that he doesn't seem to want to get blood on his hands in front of the girl's eyes, and that's probably the best chance for us to investigate."

……

……

At this time, it is about ten o'clock in the evening.

"I've come to believe in fatalism a little bit......"

Mu Xiu looked at the undeveloped forest area in front of him and couldn't help but sigh. This is an area near Tokyo, close to the city, but undeveloped, and if it were the Overworld plane, it would be the location of the White Emperor Academy.

It's just that there is no White Emperor Academy in this world, and because of the space earthquake, even the development plan of the city is very different.

"Why do you say that?"

The cinnamon daisy next to her seemed to feel a novelty in the surrounding area, and said casually while looking at the surrounding environment.

Now she is in good spirits, after all, she has rested for a day, but at this time in this world, it happens to be night, so she always feels as if something is not right.

Maybe jet lag should be reversed?

"Probably because I've seen too many coincidences that aren't coincidences?" Mu Xiu pondered for a moment, then shook his head, "Daisy-san, don't you think that this world has an invisible corrective power in the dark?" ”

The relationship between the two seems to have returned to normal at this time, but it is just a tacit agreement on both sides to temporarily selectively forget something, otherwise it will probably be very embarrassing. To be honest, the two of them already have a feeling of awkward conversation now.

Anyway, it's just a casual topic, as long as one party opens up the other, the other party will definitely answer, so as not to be silent for a while, and everyone will become embarrassed.

But that's okay, the relationship between the two seems to be so good at least on the surface, any topic can be talked about together, and Gui Daisy is no longer as unpretentious as before......

It's just that the relationship on the surface has nothing to do with the actual relationship, although this sentence is very awkward, but it is a good illustration of the complicated feelings of the two of them now - they both feel very awkward.

"I don't think it's a bit incredible that the world's corrective power or something." The pink-haired girl shook her head, saying that she couldn't imagine that situation, let alone fatalism or anything.

"Well, this is normal." Mu Xiu didn't bother with it, it was only after he broke through the fourth-order intermediate level that he realized a little bit of meaning in the darkness that he hadn't noticed before.

He plucked a weed next to him, looked up at the gray sky, and said, "So, without wasting any time, let's start here." ”
