335.

"Out of obligation, we will convey some information and requests to you, and I hope you can hear them and relay them to the next handover personnel and guards."

The young girl named Ruifeng lowered her eyes and whispered.

In Alice's slightly confused expression, the delicate young girl in the archery suit who did not look like a human was carrying a short bow that looked a little too big, standing outside the door without losing manner, nodding slightly to Alice on the bed, signaling her to take her next words to heart.

That feeling was not a scruple or pity for her, but a simple statement of a fact out of obligation. Just like the group of civilians she faced when she joined the work, out of a work attitude.

Calm, cold, and with a hint of condescension. It's not contempt, it's just that there is no presence in her eyes.

For a person who has tried his best and has no way to get close to himself, it is natural to have such a similar contemptuous attitude.

Alice understands this attitude.

It's not really contemptuous, it's just not in sight.

Is that the current self is a scum to this mysterious ship? ’

But the nanomachinery hasn't been repaired well, and it's almost like scum, right? Especially for this kind of monster that is like an arm command for subspace manipulation.

Even if it was to recover to its heyday, it wouldn't be a big trouble for this kind of monster.

“…… I know. ”

Looking at the young girl's attitude, Alice thought to herself and nodded quietly.

"Then, let's convey the attitude of the Admiral."

Faced with Alice's knowledgeable appearance, Ruifeng raised her eyebrows in surprise, and then said with a stern face:

"We. Under the jurisdiction of the Governor's Office of the Human Navy. The Governor's Office of the Pacific Theater captured Miss Alice, a soldier of the United States of America and a United Nations Captain, in the deep waters of the inner Pacific Ocean today. This is a definite fact, please keep it in mind. ”

"Hmm."

Are you still playing this trick today?

Regarding Ruifeng's so-called Pacific Theater and the Governor's Palace, Alice completely scoffed.

She didn't believe that the kind of human beings who had been beaten by the civil war could put aside their prejudices and join forces with each other for some purpose. Unless none of these people are human. Otherwise, there is no possibility of a so-called coalition government. Regional beliefs and languages alone are enough for the so-called Earth Union to drink.

If you want to say that the ruins of the nuclear world were rebuilt after the war and then the world was dominated, this Alice still has some signs of belief. But looking at the DDG-1000, Alice doesn't think in her heart that this is the world after a nuclear war. No nuclear war world would forget where such a ship was blueprinted. The first wave of nuclear bombs will basically be reimbursed.

But now that people want you to pretend, you can pretend to be garlic? A good man doesn't suffer immediate losses, and a good woman is the same. So Alice nodded honestly, indicating that she understood.

“…… Then the next transfer will be the gendarmerie of the other governor's palaces. We'll be handing each other over in half an hour. ”

Seeing that Alice didn't mean to break out, Ruifeng nodded and continued to say seriously:

"Upon arrival at the Governor-General's House of New Zealand, you will be treated with our initial review. Because the United States of America has disappeared for countless years. We have reason to believe that you are the product of some kind of anomaly. Therefore, we ask for your understanding of our vigilance. ”

"Wait, you said New Zealand?"

Looking at the young girl standing outside the cabin, Alice said with some surprise.

"Are you really pretending to be stupid or are you pretending to be stupid? The New Zealand base has long been covered in fog, and there is not a single living person in it, and I am the only survivor. And I'm so familiar with the terrain of New Zealand that you can recognize it even if it's a fake, so won't that have any effect on your plans? ”

"We don't know what you're talking about, but just a few dozen minutes ago, the New Zealand Governor's Office told the Admiral that they would be contained. And the New Zealand gendarmerie patrols the nearby waters. We don't know what you're up to. ”

"Impossible! The New Zealand base has long been missing, and how can East Asia Heavy Industries contact the people at the New Zealand base? Are you stupid to me? ”

"Let's repeat that. We don't know what you're talking about, we're just repeating what the Admiral said. ”

"You're crazy......"

Alice looked at the young girl in front of her in disbelief, feeling that this group of people was simply sick in the brain.

The Pacific Ocean, New Zealand, these are all reservations inherent in the United States of America, and you say negotiate with people in these places to hand them over? In the name of you East Asians? I'm not stupid. I've already run away, okay?

How could such a large-scale treason occur with the assistance of nanomachines, and the appearance of the fog has long been recognized as an unsolvable mystery. If East Asia Heavy Industries cracked the mystery of the fog, would they be so silent and hold back the huge ship cannons? The resources in the fog are enough for them to toss, okay?

This group of people is going to kill people. ’

Alice was keenly aware of this possibility. Now that this group of people has been judged to be outright insane, all the more neutral means do not apply.

'There aren't many nanomechanical recoveries, but the overload state should be able to turn on. ’

Trying to connect with his own subspace, he looked at the white wings that faintly flashed in the black mist between his fingers. Alice made up her mind.

'I'm sorry. ’

Although she is a pretty cute girl, the way is different......

Looking at the young girl in front of her, who did not have any vigilance, Alice sighed in her heart, and her consciousness froze slightly.

'Overloaded, on. ’

In an instant, an ice-blue light enveloped her mind.

It's as if time has stood still, and everything is changing very slowly.

'Beam Sword. ’

Alice flipped her palm, and two azure lightsabers leaped into her hands. Tightly pressed against her palm.

'Auxiliary wings. ’

With a shock to her back, dozens of blade-like white products emerged from the subspace, firmly inserted into her back, and instantly assimilated into a dark blue color like a peacock opening the screen.

There's still a second left, enough to stun the kid. ’

Looking at Ruifeng, who was approaching stillness in the blue energy field. Alice, who was armed, waved the beam blade in her hand, revealing a slight hint of smugness.

Borrowing subspace power to instantly dress in an overloaded state, and then accelerate the surprise attack, is almost a classic tactic of the ship's outfit team.

In this state, the flow of time tends to be close to zero, and it cannot be said that it is completely non-flowing. But it's faster than you think.

The most typical sign is that Ruifeng, who gave her a sense of unease, stayed where she was, not even a look of surprise.

That's because even the light hasn't reached her yet.

"I'm sorry, little girl! I'm very grateful for your treatment, so it may hurt a little bit next, but bear with me a little! ”

Looking at the girl who was almost still, Alice licked her lips, and the auxiliary device behind her suddenly burst out with a blue light, which was about to accelerate.

“…… We warn you. It's best not to act rashly. ”

'What?! ’

Is the overload failing?!

In Alice's stunned expression, the young girl, who did not look agile, actually took off the short bow that straddled her shoulders at a speed that she could not see at all, and aimed it at her head to form a full moon.

It was as if it had appeared from a crack in time, and the moment Alice's auxiliary wings unfolded and accelerated, Ruifeng's black arrow was already on her fingertips.

Not even a means of observation was needed, but Alice's naked eyes could clearly see that countless black mist was attached to the drawn short bow in the blink of an eye, condensing into a pitch-black arrow. Sen Ran's triangular arrow was aimed at the center of her eyebrows.

Under some inexplicable premonition, Alice, who was already ready to end the battle in five milliseconds, actually made a strange emergency stop in mid-air. The auxiliary wings of the engagement flashed with white light. The inertia caused by the momentary stagnation even slapped a punch in her body, making her can't help but turn pale and squirt a mouthful of dark red blood.

I'm afraid that the body that was almost restored is going to be finished again, but it's no longer the time to worry about the injury.

She didn't even have time to wipe the blood flowing from the corner of her mouth, Alice just looked at the arrow with a frightened expression, and didn't even dare to move. For fear that he had done something wrong and attracted a thunderous attack.

will die.

Really going to die.

Look at the crimson warning signs that waterfall down from the eye sockets. A drop of cold sweat left on Alice's forehead.

The number on it clearly shows that the energy contained in the black arrow condensed in the blink of an eye is afraid that even the entire ship can be pierced.

'What happened?' What's going on? ’

Looking at the arrows that swirled in the black mist, Alice felt like her worldview was about to collapse.

Overload is a super-extreme technology that accelerates in zero time, and only overload itself can fight against overload. Why was the girl completely unaffected?

“…… We are no better than Kaga's predecessors, and there is no way to use Sanhua skills. We can't compare to enterprises, and there is no way to use such a large-scale subspace and operate it precisely. ”

There was nothing to answer Alice's question, and the blue energy blew on her restrained single ponytail, the awe-inspiring girl pulled the longbow and looked indifferently at the girl who spread her wings and stopped in mid-air.

As if there was no surprise at the girl's transformation, she just single-mindedly aimed her bow and arrow at Alice's forehead.

What frightened Alice even more was that she didn't even move her lips when she said these words, but they went straight to her heart.

"But we idiots also have our own strengths. If the light talks about 'beam energy', no one can compare to our arrows. So, we really don't want to mess up the mission sent by the Admiral. ”

"The Admiral is a good man who deserves to give his life. So I'd like to ask you to stay in this cabin honestly. ”

"Otherwise, we will use some unsafe means."

Ruifeng's gaze was calm.

But Alice saw the reflection of another person in that calm gaze.

'That's-! ’

Looking at the reflection of the dress, the girl could no longer contain the fear in her heart, and looked back sharply.

"Ah, big sister~"

Behind her, the girl who used to smile inexplicably at her in that gorgeous and unnatural dress was sitting on the bed with a lollipop in her mouth, smiling at her figure.

The expression was like looking at a grasshopper trying to jump out of a glass bottle, full of childlike love and cruelty.

Seeing Alice's shocked expression, the girl seemed even more pleased, smiling and chewing on the pink candy.

"I give full marks for my big sister's performance~ I haven't seen such a wonderful game for a long time~ And I give 90 points for this script~ But it's a pity, the full score is 10,000 points~ I have to work hard in the future, big sister~"

But the actor doesn't seem to have the intention of acting, regret it......

Looking at the ship-dressed girl who had completely lost her square inch, the costumed girl shook her head. He didn't even have the mood to look at her more, and said hello to Ruifeng at the door of the cabin with a smile. He simply jumped out of bed and walked out of the cabin.

And Alice, who watched her leave, couldn't even feel her walking at all. Even the top of the analyzer was blank, and only the images of the naked eye could prove that the girl had left the room, and the instrument had not detected anything unusual from the beginning.

Whether it was appearing, greeting, or leaving, the instrument did not even have the slightest abnormal reading.

Who are these?' Who are these people? ’

Cold sweat flowed uncontrollably on Alice's face, converging into a drop of sweat that dripped on the black ground and made a splash.

“…… It looks like there's no going to escape. ”

Then there's no reason for us to stay here.

Ruifeng looked at Alice, who was lost in her soul, shook her head slightly, let go of the arrow in her hand, and bowed to her without losing her manners.

"In ten minutes, you will be handed over to the New Zealand Governor's House Gendarmerie, and I hope you will refrain from doing anything that would damage our prestige. After all, you are our captive, and what you do will affect our evaluation. ”

"The reputation of the Pacific Governor's Office cannot be desecrated, the Admiral is a good Admiral, we do not want to disappoint him, and we hope that neither of us will disappoint the other. I hope you understand. ”

"If you do something that is detrimental to the prestige of the Pacific Governor's Office, we and Akula will hunt you down personally. I hope you keep that in mind. ”

Facing Alice, who had been disarmed and slumped on the ground, Ruifeng continued to bow her head, and then casually closed the door of the cabin, leaving the space for this foreign girl.

But I don't know if it was intentional or not, the moment the hatch was closed, the window of the cabin also closed. The cabin was plunged into darkness.

After a while, a few subtle sobs suddenly came from the darkness.

"Mom, I want to go home ......" (To be continued......
