“…… The fighting in South Africa is nearing its end, and the alliance has a slight advantage in the ratio of attrition, but it has not achieved the set strategic objectives, and has not further expanded air supremacy or strengthened ground control, and military commentators believe that the South African theater will maintain the pre-war stalemate, and it seems that the alliance's New Year's opening campaign has not achieved much effect......"

"According to my analysis, this thing is a miniature nanomachine."

"Well, and then what?"

"That's all."

In the afterglow of the setting sun, Ling Yu showed an expression of "** is teasing me", looking at the serious face above his head that was a little excessive, expressing his obvious dissatisfaction with the other party's answer.

"That's really all." Finally, under Ling Yu's unhappy expression, Jiesi gave a more detailed explanation, "The nanotechnology of prehistoric civilizations is by far one of the most difficult technologies to crack and apply, and it has almost reached ...... At the level of black magic or alchemy, each of their ultra-micro nanomachines has quasi-supercomputer capabilities that can harness the collective intelligence of insects to accomplish almost any set goal...... Boss: Have you watched Terminator? ”

"You mean the liquid metal?"

Ling Yu raised his eyebrows slightly.

"That's right, like the sand on this beach," Jesse stretched out her hand and scooped up a handful of sand from the sand beneath her, and the golden sand slid down the girl's palm, forming a small waterfall.

"When the molecular structure is small enough, solids and liquids cannot be distinguished in a perceptual way, which is why these nanomachines will show the characteristics of a liquid state when they transform the palm of your hand."

"You just said ...... Remodel? ”

Although his body was overdrawn, his brain had already recovered his work, and Ling Yu quickly caught the key words in Jiesi's words.

And Jeunsy showed a helpless expression of "I really can't perfunctory the past", and the blonde girl raised her hand and pinned the hair that was blown by the sea breeze behind her ears again, took a deep breath, and made her own judgment.

"Congratulations, boss, you're now a dual-line TF."

"Ahem-ahem-ahem-what did you say?!"

"I said boss, you are already a dual-line TF, meat system and mechanical system, you heard it right, dual-line."

Ling Yu breathed a sigh of relief and pulled himself back from the predicament of almost choking to death with saliva, and the young man lying on the girl's lap confirmed from Jiesi's repetition that he had heard correctly.

"Did you just feel pain in your spine?"

"Yes."

"That's the best evidence...... That's the table where this thing is implanted in your central nervous system, you're one of the three millionths, congratulations, boss, you're almost dead. ”

"Okay, let me sort it out," Ling Yu interrupted Jiesi's statement mixed with helplessness, a wry smile and even a hint of inexplicable resignation, "You mean, just now...... The Liquid Machine man modified the back of my hand and turned me into a mechanical TF?"

Ling Yu, who was still negative, tried to raise his hand again, and this time he succeeded, the black lines spreading across his left hand like a fancy and incomprehensible tattoo.

"I don't feel lucky at all," Ling Yu glanced at Jiesi in silence, the blonde girl still had a complicated expression and was even a little absent-minded, "Ordinary mechanical TF can greatly increase vitality, I can't see what survival guarantee this aesthetic collapse pattern can bring me." ”

"Hmm...... If it weren't for this thing, I'm afraid we'd be dead. ”

Jiesi stretched out her left hand, and her warm fingertips gently touched the lines on the back of Ling Yu's hand, "It sent us here." ”

"But I can't feel it," Ling Yu frowned, moving his gaze from the lines to Jiesi's fingertips, then raised his head and looked at the blonde girl's fair face from below, "This thing is like a tattoo, I can't feel it at all, let alone use and command." ”

Ling Yu was a little helpless, he became a dual-system TF inexplicably, but his strength did not improve in the slightest, and his teleportation ability sounded very cool, but it obviously had to pay a high price, not to mention that he didn't even know how to launch it now.

Maybe his luck was used to survive the transformation operation, Ling Yu smiled bitterly.

"For the time being, for more information, I may have to go to the big library to find out," Jiesi shook her head, leaned over and pressed Ling Yu's hand down and placed it horizontally on the young man's body, "But in any case, you are already a dual-line TF, from an academic point of view, there is no doubt about it." ”

"But you still haven't explained why you invited me to join the Order."

Ling Yu was silent for a moment, then turned the question back to the most critical point, "Could it be that I have the authority to join the Knights by fusing this thing?" Or is it that if I don't join, I'm going to be ruined humanely. ”

"Strictly speaking......" Jiesi smiled lightly, but the words she said made Ling Yu shudder, "You should be arrested for autopsy." ”

"Hey, hey—"

"Lie to you."

Jiesi lowered her head and stuck out her tongue playfully at Ling Yu, but this relaxed expression only flashed, and then, the girl changed to a faint melancholy.

"This teleportation ability, even for the Knights, at least in my memory, has not been encountered, and as a knight, I am obliged to prevent the abuse of this ability, from the point of view of the creed of the Privy Cavalry...... I'm obligated to at least bring you back. ”

"Thank you." Ling Yu closed his eyes and cut off Jiesi's gaze, although the young man was completely unable to resist the girl doing anything to him at this time—whether it was dissecting or imprisoning—he still stubbornly expressed his opinion, "I don't plan to travel to Iceland yet. ”

"But—"

"No, but if you come hard, I'll bite my tongue and kill myself."

"From a medical point of view, biting your tongue can't kill you."

"I don't care, I'm going to kill myself anyway."

“…… Don't you think the topic is a little strange right now? ”

A huge drop of sweat seemed to appear on Jessy's head, and the girl cleared her throat, ending this conversation between an atypical woman from a good family and a thief, she opened her mouth and uttered a syllable, but she did not continue.

"So do I have any other choice? Except to be captured by you in the name of justice? ”

Ling Yu sighed deeply, he knew that for a hot-blooded religious person, there was no reason to talk about it, but the young man seemed to have read something special from Jiesi's entanglement and silence, so he tentatively made an inquiry.

"Yes."

Unexpectedly, Jeunsy gave a refreshing answer, and in Ling Yu's surprised and expectant gaze, Jeunse took a deep breath again and stated with her eyes closed.

"The highest mission of every knight is the same, that is, to ensure that black technology is not abused, but not being abused does not mean that this technology must be brought back to the Ark, right?"

"I believe that the boss will not take this thing to do evil, otherwise with your strength, you will not be willing to be a little courier on No. 47."

"So, I believe there is a solution," Jess opened her eyes and looked at Ling Yu's thoughtful face, "and that is, you must be responsible for fully mastering and being able to use this ...... The power of things! ”

"Sounds ...... It's a bit dangerous. Ling Yu frowned.

"It's dangerous." Jiesi nodded, confirming Ling Yu's guess, "Strictly speaking, this new type of black technology product must be under the full technical support and monitoring of the Knights in order to ensure the safety of the tester to the greatest extent, if you plan to master it yourself, you must take this risk." ”

"In other words, no matter which path you go, are you destined to say goodbye to peaceful days?"

Ling Yu sighed, to be honest, he didn't want to choose either, although he wasn't the kind of person who regarded freedom as his life, but as a small citizen, he didn't want to be deprived of his only hobbies, such as Long Island Iced Tea or 2D movies.

"I'll think about it," Ling Yu closed his eyes, but soon opened them again, giving Jesse a friendly smile, "I'm surprised that you fanatical religious believers would give me a chance to choose instead of cutting me into a stick and arresting me." ”

"What a faux pas!" Jesse hid her face and smiled, "How demonized the Privy Cavalry is in your heart. ”

"Just kidding, but even if you give yourself a reason, it's not strictly a knight's creed."

"I'm one of the rebellious ones."

Jesse looked up and muttered in a low voice that wasn't a joke.

***

Ling Yu finally couldn't wait for the moment when the submarine surfaced, and the overdrawn youth fell asleep in the last rays of the setting sun, and when the bonfire was almost extinguished, the black whale broke out of the water from afar.

The black rubber boat with the Marines paddled a trail on the black water, and Jesse shook her head helplessly before standing up and looked at the child-like youth in her arms who was breathing evenly.

A little disappointment spread from her chest, but the reason for the disappointment was different from what she expected - it was not because Ling Yu had no intention of joining the Knights, on the contrary, she even had a little hope that Ling Yu would accept her latter mention and use her own strength to develop the product of this black technology.

She didn't know the reason, and she didn't realize that what happened to Ling Yu was quietly changing herself.

"Whatever...... Creed or something, isn't it justice per se? ”

Finally, when the medics carrying the stretcher appeared in sight, the girl decided to stop worrying in the simplest way, and she gently waved at the reinforcements, drawing an end to this unexpected trip to South Africa.

***

When South Africa, which belongs to the Eastern Hemisphere, was drawn into the territory of night by the dusk line because of its autobiography, the system set the standard time on the "Icarus" in the East 11th District, which is when the vast majority of people sleep peacefully.

However, on the street full of sweepers, an electric car is speeding along the highway between the shuttle airport and the administrative district, a small flag fluttering on the front of the car, and the badge and license plate number show the identity of the car along with the windward wind.

GlobalStrategicDefenseConfederation-MilitaryIntelligenceand

SecretService (GSDC-MISS) - Because the English abbreviation is too strange to take "miss", "forget jì" or "lady", it is generally referred to as Secret Service.

It should be noted that it is very rude to pronounce the abbreviation as SS.

At the beginning of the establishment of the alliance, there was no unified intelligence agency, and the intelligence agencies of various countries were retained, but after the winter Arctic war twenty years ago, the problem of redundant and inefficient intelligence agencies was exposed, so the alliance integrated intelligence forces, established a special service responsible for external intelligence and internal security, and after the winter Arctic war, it has been the most solid intelligence backing of the alliance, and after the opening of the South African front, the Ministry of Defense has strengthened the operational capabilities of the secret service. It expanded its front-line force to 17 intelligence teams, and attached to three special operations teams led by TF.

But as the second-in-command of such a super intelligence organization, Anderson Lee, who was sitting in the back of the car, looked a little unkempt at this time, and the fatigue of a long journey mixed with the pressure of long hours and a lot of bad news was clearly seen in the deputy director who had just entered middle age, and Anderson, who was almost asleep, stared at the street lamp that kept flashing to the rear with tired eyes, and subconsciously touched the box in his chest pocket with his right hand.

The pressure from the metal box made him feel relieved, at least the trip to South Africa was not empty-handed.

"We're almost there, sir, the Director is already waiting for you in the office, please get ready."

As the car turned from the highway ramp to a lush green ground, the clerk sitting in the front row politely reminded Anderson, who nodded, buttoned up the discipline, pulled up his tie, and touched his briefcase.

The familiar building soon came into view, and the office at the top of the building was the only brightly lit place in the entire borough.
