Chapter 11: The Premonition of the Inferior
The moment he saw the angel, Russell recalled the news he had seen not long ago...... and the information that the deer head told himself.
The so-called "Angel Resurrection Act".
Although it was expected, it came so quickly.
But how could he be so young......
Because Russell himself is a particularly young-looking type, he can easily judge the true age of others.
He was sure that the girl was only thirteen or fourteen years old.
Because of this, Russell's gaze has become very complicated.
He still remembered what the deer head statue had said to him.
The church created mechanical angels in order to create a special forces corps that could fight against mages.
These so-called "angels" are nothing more than qualified people who have been selected, wearing an aura similar to a "brainwashing ring" in function.
The aura is linked to the Church server "Holy Scriptures", and constantly enters a certain "imaginary personality" that can be recognized by the power of the Holy Order.
But because this is not overlying violent brainwashing...... If the original personality and experience are too different and incompatible with this kind of "fictitious personality" inserted into it, self-doubt may arise in some key judgments, and brainwashing will fail. If the power of the Holy Order is lost at a critical moment, it may be
That's why the church has to select "the right."
The power of different types of holy ranks is equivalent to different types of troops; The power of different levels of holy ranks is equal to different military ranks.
There are forty-five types of Divine Rank Powers, each of which has a similar personality.
Angels who are good at healing have similar gentleness and thinking patterns; Angels who are good at the power of judgment all have similar habits of justice and self-discipline.
β¦β¦ But, after all, that's a "soldier". Not only consumables, but also experiments.
Before starting the transformation, no one knew that this time it would really be successful; It is also impossible for the church to guess that they can win with one blow before the angels are dropped.
Even if the final result is good, this behavior makes Russell frown.
Only when I was thirteen or fourteen years old...... No, it's not.
Considering that the war had been going on for some time, and that it didn't freeze immediately after it ended, she might have become an angel sooner.
At that age, was he transformed into an angel or even sent to the front because he was eligible?
- It's like a deer's head.
It seems to feel Russell's gaze.
The young angel looked up and happened to meet Russell's eyes.
She was stunned for a moment, then smiled very reservedly.
The girl nodded at Russell as if she were bowing; She smiled again and lifted the bag in her hand, and beckoned to Russell.
She was a very polite girlβRussell had such a thought in his mind.
But when the girl was about to leave, she happened to see the suitcase in the back seat of the floating car.
Her steps stopped.
ββ¦β¦ Hey? β
The girl leaned over with interest: "Can you ask, what is this?" β
"This ......"
Russell opened his mouth, not knowing what to say to fool him.
But in his heart, he suddenly raised a little vigilance.
Soon, though, Russell realized he had guessed wrong.
Because the girl then replied to herself: "It looks like an ordinary suitcase, but it has a battery for a small freezer hanging on the outside, so it is not afraid of explosions?"
"Or is this actually a portable refrigerator? But with such a small volume, what can be stored in it...... Hmm, organs, or medical potions or something?
"But if it's here, won't it shatter when it brakes? Will the battery not explode or leak in the event of an impact? β
β¦β¦ Are you a mechanical enthusiast?
Russell was a little surprised.
He could see that the girl was not lying or deliberately distracting - she was indeed interested in the box itself, not its contents.
So Russell also became interested.
"Pretty much."
Russell lay on the soft seat of the co-pilot, turned back to the girl standing next to the back seat and chatted with interest: "You guessed right, this is indeed a constant temperature cold box, characterized by being able to cool down to minus 40 degrees, but it is not cold to the outside to the touch."
"And its cabinet is the main shockproof and shock-proof, and the process is quite good. You look like the battery is exposed, but it's really just a backup battery...... The real battery is placed at the bottom of the cabinet along with the cooling device. β
"That's ......"
The girl thought seriously: "But if the double battery needs to be made of shockproof layer, the space inside is too small......
"-for, Ultramarine?"
A cold and vigilant voice sounded, startling the girl.
The aura on her head buzzed for a moment, then returned to its previous brightness.
It was the inferior who went to buy cigarettes who came back. As soon as he came back, he directly interrupted the chat between the two.
The inferior man bit his cigarette and looked at the girl with some impatience and some vigilance: "Angel...... Tut. β
His face was unabashedly written, "What a trouble."
He stretched out his hand and swiped through the air, and a display appeared in the air.
It was the inferior's illusory business card as the Special Enforcement Department, and it was also a proof of his identity.
"We're escorting important supplies, ma'am."
The inferior replied coldly, "May I ask what is the matter with you standing here?" β
"No, it's just a little curious......"
But the girl didn't see the card at all, and her eyes didn't stop at all.
She looked at Russell and the inferior in a bit of panic, and bowed a little awkwardly: "It's me who is rude, gentlemen...... Excuse me. β
"Hmm...... It's okay. β
The inferior raised an eyebrow, and his attitude suddenly became a little more mildβat least not so politely.
He nodded at the girl, "Walk slowly, ma'am." β
When the floating car rose again, Russell, who was sitting in the co-pilot, turned around with some curiosity and asked, "What did you find?" β
"What found something."
"Your attitude has suddenly improved."
Russell asked, "Did you notice any details?" β
"Sort of," replied the inferior with a cigarette in his mouth, somewhat indistinctly, "though I have never seen an angel in my life, and 'angel' is only a mythical term to me. But that doesn't stop me from knowing that angels definitely don't have chips. β
Indeed it is.
Russell nodded.
He still remembers those key moments.
- The first angel was born in 1103, the Shariah War ended in 1106, the mechanical angel slept in 1107, and the "Big Seven" was founded in 1119.
The first generation of chips capable of blocking spells, developed in 1123; The second-generation chip that can ban psionic energy at the same time was just developed in 1141, that is, sixty years ago.
The story of "Peter Pan" should have taken place between 1123 and 1141.
Considering that he had already become a famous fairy tale writer at that time.
That guy should be eighty or ninety years old......
At least 1123 chips must be listed, so that it is possible to see the pattern sent by the inferior to other "chip holders".
Because the angels were frozen much earlier than that, it was impossible for the angels to see.
This is the temptation of the inferior.
"Just stared into her eyes and recorded every frame in detail. Except when my hand was raised, she subconsciously focused her gaze - this was normal, if her gaze was motionless, it meant that she had expected it. In that case, I'll attack her right away.
But as her eyes lifted, she didn't see the business card I projected. Her gaze wasn't focused on that place...... And human instinct cannot be easily restrained. It's like when you say 'don't think of pink elephants,' an image comes to mind. β
"When I confirmed that she did not have a chip and proved that she was a real angel, I naturally did not feel sorry for her."
ββ¦β¦ You're so cautious. β
Russell replied helplessly: "How can someone pretend to be an angel? The church is not a vegetarian. And you also feel the feeling of the power of the Holy Rank, right? You can't go wrong with that closeness. β
"Not necessarily, what if it's just a skin prosthesis that glows, and an artificial gland that releases an artificial gland that can increase people's affection?"
ββ¦β¦ You're a bit of a jack, underdog. That kind of thing is easy to recognize. β
"Probably. I think it's better to be cautious. β
The inferior replied lightly: "Or there is another possibility."
"That is, I hate angels from the bottom of my heart. So preconceived and hoping that the other party is a fake. β
"Disgusted angels?"
"Hmm. Because I never felt that the angels were coming, it was good news. β
"But they're here to exterminate the mercenary organization in the lower city."
ββ¦β¦ Scold. β
Hearing this, the inferior couldn't help but sneer: "If it's just like this, I'll thank them."
"Even if the angels did come to purify the lower city, the church would definitely not want them to 'purify the lower city only.'"
The inferior will put out only half of the cigarette in the ashtray.
"Look, Russell."
He prophesied: "Something big is going to happen in the lower city." β
