No matter what kind of instrument is tested in such a place, even if it will be used for people's livelihood in the future, it is absolutely a confidential matter, and it is not something that can be inquired about casually. However, our group of people rarely has this awareness, and we always ask endless questions that should not be asked, and we will succeed every time, I mean, magically turning the topic of Yan Sù into a nonsensical daily life, which is really gratifying.

Today is no exception.

"It's actually a topographic probe that can give you a rough picture of the formation without digging a hole. Sister Mei glanced back at the experts who were busy and said, "Of course, if there is a ready-made deep pit, wouldn't it be better to use it?" This thing was originally intended to be used to study the leyline energy, but now it is just a test in advance. ”

Sure enough, all the secrets are not fun after they are told, the truth.

Lu Yin raised her index finger and shook it gently, "It's not that I doubt the Empire's technology, but if it comes into the interference of Bellock's spells, will it still work? I mean, will it be able to discover the underground passages hidden by magic?"

"I guess it's a bit reluctant. Sister Mei pinched the bridge of her nose and sighed helplessly, "I asked the main person in charge of this scientific research team when I was in a hurry before, and he said that the instrument can't do this for the time being, so I need to invite the magical girl to help." ”

I noticed Sister Mei's wording - for the time being. In other words, the inability of the instrument to detect magic is only temporary, and the Empire will soon be able to come up with a solution. In the previous battle with the crystal monsters, the local mage troops formed by the Federation did play a great role (of course, it also blinded countless people's eyes), could it be that now the empire intends to follow suit, so it recruited many magical boys and magical girls across the country, and then combined magic and technology...... If you feel like you're about to go off-topic, let's stop it.

Emilina glanced at Sister Mei in surprise and seemed to notice it. But the blonde girl didn't make any more moves than that, apparently not intending to say it.

All in all. And that's a good thing.

"How deep can that instrument detect?" I suddenly had an idea in my heart, and asked Sister Mei seriously.

If it can reach more than 1,000 meters, it may be a good idea to let Uncle Lan He and them see if the underground space with its own ecosystem really exists. It's impossible to miss a place that is so large that it is impossible to miss it when detecting.

Sister Mei's answer made me very satisfied, and the experts were about to start the test, so I stopped talking. Follow the team to the side of the instrument and join in the fun.

The lively expressions we were ready to see didn't last long - in fact, after seeing a certain piece about how a group of cute girls brainwashed the audience with guò tongue twisters on the interface of the main display screen of the instrument, ah no, Tong guò sang and danced on stage to raise the popularity of her school to recruit new students, and watched Na Fujia with relish, Sister Mei was already full of horror expressions that she couldn't take out a gun and blast the screen into slag,

And this terrible, I mean, the cult of love is everywhere anymore......

"Nafuga, what the hell are you doing here?" Seeing that Sister Mei was about to turn black, Emilina took the initiative to raise her hand and greet before the other party could make a move.

"Of course I'm watching anime, isn't this a matter of concern?" said Nafuga with a snap of her fingers and turned off the screen, "It's something I managed to save when Valkyrie launched an attack." ”

This time, even I couldn't help it: "Wait a minute, in that case, it's technical data, literary and artistic works, and all kinds of knowledge records that should be rescued with all your might, right, what the hell is going on rescuing an anime!?"

"Huh. Isn't anime the most precious thing in the culture created by human beings?" replied the AI girl with a surprised tone and an unwavering expression on her face.

After a few seconds of silence, I gave a thumbs up: "That's right, you're absolutely right!"

Then I took the initiative to die and was smashed on the top of my head by Sister Mei's vicious knife in the embarrassed eyes of my friends: "Then there must be something going on, and it should be denied on the spot here, right!?"

In a sense, I think Nafuga is really right - it's better not to say it.

"I'm sorry, but I didn't know it. With tears streaming down my face, I gently brushed Sister Mei's hand away and said, "But it seems a little inappropriate to watch anime on this occasion, Nafuga, you definitely did it on purpose, right?"

"I did it on purpose. After dropping a classic answer that made me deflated, Nafuga turned to the righteous path of the crowd. "The temporary library has been set up, and you can start testing. I'll be responsible for keeping track of all the numbers. Rest assured. ”

Uncle Lan He was tinkering with the computer on the side, as if checking the status of Nafuga and the network. After seeing the uncle nodding at him, the person in charge decisively gave the order to start the test.

A few of us watched the excitement and immediately widened our eyes.

But soon, several experts, along with the AI girl, couldn't help frowning and showing extremely surprised expressions.

Wang Yiping, who was watching from the sidelines, immediately noticed the abnormality, stepped forward and asked eagerly, "Is there something wrong?"

"Yes. The entire underground in the vicinity was disturbed by magic, and the instruments did not work at all. Of course, it's not 'that' that causes. It doesn't have any effect on the instrument itself, otherwise it would have been discovered long ago. ”

I guess it refers to leyline energy. If it has nothing to do with it, what is the matter? Couldn't it be that Belloc had quietly converted the entire underground of Haejo into his own territory when none of us knew about it? How could this be, at least Emilina would have been the first to notice and stop it.

I couldn't help but turn my gaze to Emilina, who was nearby, and the blonde girl smiled wryly at me and shrugged her shoulders when she noticed it, "I didn't expect this kind of overnight city situation." Belloc is also quite capable. Then it is all the more necessary for us to go down and see what is going on, before he makes a bigger mess. ”

What the hell is Night City, does this girl also not perceive the enemy's movements!?

Sister Mei didn't wait for me to ask a question and grabbed Emilina's shoulder first: "Wait, what do you mean by Night City? Could it be that the other party only spent one night last year concocting some kind of large-scale magic that was enough to interfere with the instrument's exploration of the entire nearby area?"

"Well, that's it. The blonde girl admitted without concealing the slightest, "I found traces of spells left in the passage during my inspection yesterday afternoon, but they all look like they are just some residues, who would have thought that they could be some kind of magic array arrangement...... I'm very sorry that this was my mistake anyway. ”

Several non-commissioned officers under Wang Yiping's command, who didn't look ordinary, immediately frowned when they heard this, revealing suspicious expressions.

Do you suspect that this is a play directed and acted by Emilina? What a group of naïve circle nine! I walked over and gently patted Sister Mei's hand on the girl's shoulder, "Lift your head, Emilina." There's no need for you to apologize, after all, no matter who you are, there will be times when you make mistakes, and besides, you have helped us so much before, without you, the city would have been overrun by monsters, and there would be today's so-called underground exploration?

After whistling loudly, Wang Yiping strode forward and tilted his head to look at me and said, "Zhou Yi, should I say that you are bold or stupid? Is it really okay to say such things in front of everyone? Hurry up and rest." ”

The second lieutenant also had some friendship with me, and he was giving me the stairs. But I appreciate your kindness, but today I must be on Emilina's side. The military aside, some of the above people are suspicious of the blonde girl's true purpose and her otherworldly identity, and are trying to completely control the girl with great power. This situation has already begun when the "Divine Servant" led by Lu Yin appeared last time, but I didn't expect it to develop so quickly.

Whether Emilina is willing to show her hands to scare each other will not be mentioned for a moment, at least I, as a person in this world and a partner of girls, must show my absolute trust in her. Otherwise, why would people come all the way to help us deal with the hunt for no reason, and what did they get after helping for so long?

I don't want her to be suspected by some idiot without even hearing a "thank you".

"You'll just treat me as a hopeless fool. As I spoke, I took out the Blood Curse Soul Strike from the bracelet and slammed it to the ground, its strong ominous death aura made the faces of the surrounding people change instantly, and they hurriedly took several steps back, "Because I am the only person in the world who can use this weapon at the moment, because I am the one who has watched Emmilina fight with my own eyes, and because I am the one who survived the battlefield, I dare to say such things, so I will believe Emilina!" Even a cannon fodder-type monster who has never seen it up close and personal, what right do you have to doubt the heroes on the battlefield!?"

The faces of the non-commissioned officers were gloomy at first, but as I spoke, they gradually softened, perhaps remembering what Emilina had done after she settled in Hakushi. No matter who makes the comment, the blonde girl's actions can fully afford the word "hero".

And if she really wants to be against us, there is no need to play any tricks at all, it is enough to directly use force like a demon. (To be continued......)
