Chapter 16: The Expected Peace Talks
"Are you the ones who saved the city?"
"It's not a save, we're just doing what we can, but we didn't expect there to be so many terrible things in this city, and it's a serious dereliction of duty for you managers."
Nanami Chiaki didn't accuse the other party of being slow to react, in fact, just 20 minutes after the two of them turned the Harbor Pearl into the scene of Resident Evil, the first reinforcements arrived, and they weren't the kind of people who could only send them to death, they were well-trained veterans, and judging from the various equipment they put on successfully restricted the monster's movements, they should be specialized personnel.
The first to come were the air soldiers, and instead of immediately attacking the out-of-control monster, they dropped a special device around the monster, which should have been set with a special magic in advance, creating four solid walls around the monster to firmly block the opponent.
However, according to their next move, it seems that this wall is more to prevent cold air leakage. After the walls were built, their attacks were much less scrupulous, and in groups of 10 people, they were carrying another device that resonated, and then it could be said that the very powerful ice magic appeared, sealing the monster.
After that, they relied on the ice, and successfully delayed the arrival of the second group of troops after 3 hours, and in the process the effect of the ice became weaker and weaker, the first time they were able to freeze the monster for 30 minutes, and at the end, even if everyone shot the combined magic, it could only freeze for 10 minutes.
And in the process, Nanami Chiaki has been evacuating the masses, and they don't plan to expose their strength in front of the enemy who can still be called an enemy.
Then the second batch of reinforcements arrived, their strength was stronger, and from the perspective of their tactics, they were also more targeted at the rampaging monster, no longer pursuing destruction, but promoting the evolution of the monster, so that the monster would die in continuous evolution.
Finally, it is now, two zealous citizens who have saved many civilians in the city have met the imperial government that wants to destroy them.
"Indeed, the administrators of this city actually let this monster in, and it must be severely punished." The knight, who looked upright, said, "Thank you this time, if it weren't for your presence, even if we arrived, the people of the empire would have suffered great damage. ”
"But I need to bother you at this time, because you are probably the closest person to the center of the incident, and we need to ask what happened at that time, which will help us find out who did this."
"There's no problem, it's a good thing for us to figure out this incident earlier."
The other party's actions also seemed to be very normal, and it was not the soldiers who came from here who took them away at first, but the guards in the original city, who had previously participated in assisting civilians, and the soldiers who had a high appearance rate in peacetime, which lowered the vigilance of the people who were taken away.
The interrogation as a cover was also very mundane, just a glass of warm water, and the interrogator put on a stinky face as usual and asked what the people were doing at the time of the incident.
However, Nanami Chiaki noticed that this inquiry was not carried out immediately, after the monster was dealt with, they actually waited 20 minutes before starting this interrogation, although it could be said that this was to give those soldiers time to rest, but it was still very strange.
"The magic of distinguishing between the real and the fake."
This is the information that Ilya told Chiaki Nanami after entering, and the other party added absolutely illegal magic to that seemingly normal inquiry, probing the brain and body, and even the soul to distinguish between what the other party said was true and false.
Although this kind of magic doesn't seem to be anything, many times ordinary people who are detected by magic will not feel anything, but after all, the soul has been involved, and the completion of magic is not high, in the future, the damage will slowly appear, and the weaker ones will have some more habits, and the stronger ones may change their own personalities.
Naturally, Elijah and Chiaki Nanami were not affected by this kind of completion magic test, but after the test results, they were left behind on the grounds that they were asked to help question those who had problems in previous investigations.
"No problem."
The answer is the same as it was at the beginning, even if. No, it should be said that it is precisely because they have sensed that the passage they are now taking leads to other places.
"Confinement, bondage, mind freezing."
Just as the two of them were sent to a house and saw the people on the other side who had been screened out and sent over, it seemed that they were going to be recognized, a strong magical shock came, and the whole room became a sea of magic, and all the walls were outlined in blue magic arrays.
"Soul Extraction."
The blue magic array turned red, and suddenly the group of people who were sent in fell to the ground, their souls had been extracted, and they flew towards another magic array above.
"Although we are not in much position to accuse you, we still have to say that it is really excessive."
When the magic array was activated, all the soldiers on the periphery moved, and they took out their weapons and aimed them at Nanami Chiaki and Ilya.
"You are the culprit of this commotion, there is no possibility of you fleeing now, explain why you are doing this."
"Live streaming." The cute girl tilted her head and made a more cute shape, "The live broadcast empire tortured and killed its own people." ”
"Demons, don't think your slander is useful, you created that monster, you were discovered in the process of disguised as an innocent, in order to escape, so you used evil magic to kill the others present, but in the end it was killed by the Knights of the Empire, for the innocent civilians who died in this incident, the Empire expresses its deep condolences."
That's the only end for you.
"Hahahaha, sister, these guys are really funny, they can still put on such an expression at this time, it's a bit too stupid."
Nanami Chiaki didn't answer Elijah's words, she was very suspicious of these guys in front of her, according to the previous performance of the soul magic array, the other party's level was not low, so they should theoretically at least find out what their side is doing now, but the other party didn't show anything.
"I've passed this on to our companions, and it's all passed through as everything I've seen in that institute before, and now what you've done has basically come to light."
"What did you say!"
Are you surprised now, their performance is really strange.
"This is impossible, we don't see any birds, and we don't have any communication machinery, don't play any tricks."
"It's not a small trick, it's a technology that belongs to us drifters."
The light from the cube taken out by Chiaki Nanami intertwined into an image, and the appearance of the silver mask and the voice were transmitted, "I think we can sit down and talk now." ”
"What do you want?"
"This country."
