The six of us, led by Victor, circled east and west along the dark corridor.

"Just contacted, the boss is in the conference room."

Everyone quickened their pace, and soon came to the door of the conference room, and as soon as they arrived, they heard the angry scolding of the boss inside.

"What a joke!" Then there was the sound of glass being smashed.

"Watch your attitude, Soth." The old voice retorted, "As the leader of the research project, you have led the research team for twenty years, and it is impossible for you not to know the current situation. ”

"Humph! Get back! ”

The door opened, and the wheelchair was pushed out, and without even looking at it, it walked straight past us.

Victor immediately followed, and we followed behind, thinking to myself that this awesome boss was called Soth, how could it be a foreign name, could it be that he was also Chinese like Victor.

I didn't say anything along the way, and I couldn't figure it out, and it seemed that the meeting was not very pleasant.

Coming to the small conference room in the middle of the tenth district, Victor pushed the boss to the main seat.

"How's the mission going?"

Victor took out the sorted report and handed it to him, he opened it and read it quickly, and nodded, "Very good, this kind of casualty is already very few." With that, he threw the information on the table.

I glanced over and saw that he was looking at me too.

"I'm sorry to send you out of the task so quickly, because you have to get you up to speed as quickly as possible, but you're doing well." After saying that, he looked away.

"Boss, I have something to report to you." Victor picked up.

"Oh? Let's hear it. ”

At that moment, Victor told him about the little girl.

Everyone looked at the boss nervously, and at first his expression was very impatient, even a little annoyed, but when he heard that it was Yukihime who advocated bringing it back to the branch, his expression eased again.

"That's right." He pondered for a while and said, "If it is her request, it is not incomprehensible, just according to her wishes, if there are any consequences, you will be responsible for yourself." ”

Hearing him say this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that everyone was very supportive of Xue Ji's approach, and it was no wonder that at that time, Xue Ji advocated bringing back the little girl, and they had no objection except for surprise.

"Boss, what about the meeting just now, ......?" Victor stopped talking.

"Hmph, a bunch of stubborn old men, just for some benefit." The boss said angrily.

Victor also stopped talking, and lowered his head to make out his expression.

On the way back, I asked Victor if he knew anything.

He shook his head, "If you go back and look at the information, you will naturally understand that there are some things that we can't interfere in." ”

"Oh." Although I nodded, I didn't bother to look at it, I used to be famous for not liking to study, since it wasn't for us to interfere, and Victor didn't want to say it, maybe things weren't so simple, so simple that they could be explained clearly in a few words.

"That Yukihime, why is her face so big?" I'm still a little unbelievable, just because she's the earliest hunter, if she's the only A-level high-level hunter in the branch, she should have such a status, and she's the most promising S-class existence.

Judging from the hunter equipment of this AE3 division, it is true that Bai Xuexiang is the earliest one, fourteen years ago, when he was five years old.

To this, Victor responded, "Seniority accounts for a reason, of course ability also accounts for a reason, but this is not the most important thing, she is different from us, what is the difference, I have only heard of it a little bit, as for the others, I should have never heard of it." ”

"Xue Ji is a person who rarely speaks." Chen Xue'er took over, "When I first entered the branch, I only knew that this woman was quite powerful. ”

"Indeed." Tianzang continued, "Before I was transferred from the Japanese branch, Yukihime's daimyo had already spread on our side. ”

"Oh?" Victor looked at Tianzang and smiled, "I'm pretty much the same, I've heard of the code name Xue Ji before I was transferred from the UK."

By the way, Jiudao, I heard that once on a mission on your side, Yukihime single-handedly wiped out all the infected people in the city of Tokyo, right? ”

Is there such a thing? I looked at Tianzang in surprise.

I saw him nod, his expression gloomy, "Nine years ago, the Japanese branch asked for support from the Chinese branch, but we didn't expect that only one hunter was sent, and it was still a little girl about ten years old. Tianzang paused, it seemed that things were still incredible,

"We haven't joined her yet, and when we rushed over, we found that the whole city was full of broken corpses, and Xue Ji was sitting alone in a cold drink shop eating ice cream."

Huh? I was stunned for a moment, although it is normal for children to eat ice cream, but on Xue Ji, how does it feel so disagreeable.

"That's not right." Victor shook his head, "What I heard is that Yukihime is standing on the top of Tokyo Tower, waiting for you, right, stone?" ”

"Oh, I'm sitting on a pile of corpses as tall as Tokyo Tower."

"Stop, stop!" I made a pause gesture, and the more I listened, the more outrageous it became.

"If that's the case, you'll know it, little otter." Victor lowered his head and asked Chen Lan'er beside him, "She is the closest to you." ”

"Sister Xue Ji is not as terrifying as you say, and she is very gentle with the little otter." Chen Lan'er held her little hand behind her back and replied timidly, "Sister Xueji didn't tell me about this, the little otter doesn't know." ”

Oh, this little girl has always been ghostly, but now how has she become ashamed.

"Hey, otter." Sister Chen Xue'er looked at her in surprise, "Did Xue Ji tell you about her?" ”

At this moment, everyone stopped, and Sister Mo Ruo, who knew her sister, saw her eyes wide in panic and shook her head vigorously.

It's very likely, looking at Xue Ji's attitude towards the little girl today, it's understandable that she is kind to Chen Lan'er.

"Little otter, this is your fault." Victor crossed his waist and pretended to be serious in his tone, "We are all a team, we must be united, members can't have special small groups, and such important gossip is not shared!" ”

I also looked at her, very curious.

"Hmm......" Chen Lan'er lowered her head, her little fingers running around the tips of her blue hair, "Okay, Sister Xue Ji didn't tell me much, after a mission, Sister Xue Ji and I were sleeping outside, and she talked about it. ”

Everyone was amazed, and only listened to her continue,

She said that a long time ago, at that time, Brother Hayabusa and Brother Stone had just entered the branch, and she was the only hunter in the entire branch on a support mission, and the support from Brother Nine Knife fell on her, and that time, there were many P2 infections wandering in the polluted area of Tokyo.

Sister Yukihime said that she used something she shouldn't have used at the time, and within ten minutes, all the infected bodies in her sight were destroyed. ”

"Ten minutes!?" Victor and the others were shocked when they heard this.

"Is ten minutes a long time?" I was puzzled, "You are all so awesome, with your speed and ability, ten minutes should be fine." ”

Victor didn't seem to hear my question at all, and muttered to himself, "Although I had heard that Yukihime's massacre was very fast, I didn't expect it to take only ten minutes. ”

Chen Lan'er nodded cautiously.

"Hey! Don't just be shocked, what's wrong with ten minutes? "I patted Victor, and I had to ask again, even if Xue Ji was only ten years old nine years ago, just looking at Chen Lan'er fighting with the P2 sea monster in the sea, if Xue Ji is stronger, she should be able to do it, and Xue Ji at that time was estimated to be a B-class hunter.

Unexpectedly, Victor's expression immediately sank, "You are a newcomer, and you are not a formalized person, it is too early to understand this." ”

He paused, then decided to tell me anyway, "We have the ability to be informative, and the price of these abilities is nothing more than the painful desire to resist the violence that comes with it. ”

"Huh!?"

"Every time we activate the activity of blood dust in the body, there is a limit." Victor's expression was serious, "I originally planned to wait for your ability to become a stronger and become an intermediate hunter, and I will tell you again if you have a code name and nameplate, but now that I mentioned it, I will tell you first." ”

"Boundaries? Nameplate? ”

"Ah, that's the nameplate." As he spoke, Victor took out a chain from under his neck, he had never noticed it before, he thought it was just for dress, but now it looked like it was the kind of nameplate that is common in foreign troops.

If you look closely, there are three lines of words, the top is a symbol I don't know engraved with two words, the bottom line is his real name, Auckland Victor, and the next line is the code name "Hayabusa".

"At the top are two ancient Greek words, hope and kill."

"What do you mean by that boundary?"

"Every time we use it, the blood dust in our body will gradually fill our whole body and overflow outward." Victor hung back the nameplate and explained, "After stylization, the activity of blood dust gradually increases, and when it reaches a point, blood dust will regurgitate and break out of your body, and you will burst and die." ”

I felt chills all over my body after listening to it.

"After we are stylized, we will strive for a quick victory, and if we drag into a protracted war, we will try to control the degree and frequency of stylization." Victor continued, "For example, there are thousands of infected people in Tokyo's contaminated area, and there are so many that it is impossible for one person to completely wipe them out in ten minutes. ”

I nodded, understanding the oddity.

"Ten minutes of continuous staging can be done, but she can't maintain a certain intensity to carry out such a large-scale cleaning work, she is alone."

"However, the battle between the otter and the two P2 giant octopuses also lasted for a long time, and there was no problem with this."

"That's because the little otter is in the sea, she has unique conditions, in the sea, the blood and dust in the little otter's body can have strong activity without full mobilization."

"And what about us running on a mission?"

"Blood dust is just an aid to the legs, you only need to mobilize a little bit to concentrate on the legs." Victor replied.

"By the way, little otter, why did she mention this to you?" Chen Xue'er asked from the side.

"I don't know." Chen Lan'er shook her head, "She always says something very strange sometimes, I'm still young, and I don't understand it very well." ”

"What?"

"I don't remember, it was a year or two ago, I was still young." Chen Lan'er was a little aggrieved.

Everyone had a solemn face, and they used to think that Xue Ji was just a very strong and cold woman, so it seems that she still has so many secrets, and while I was thinking, everyone also set off again.

"Didn't you communicate before? How did I know now. ”

"Yukihime doesn't like to talk herself, and we both respect each other's privacy, unless I say it myself, everyone here has a past that they don't want to talk about, and it's very rude to ask too much." Victor replied, rolling his eyes at me as he spoke, "Now that you started this, we are here." ”

I was speechless, "Then when you go back, do you want to ask her in person?" ”

Hearing my question, everyone slowed down, their heads down, not knowing what they were thinking.
