…

Following.

Reina was a little tired after not sleeping all night, and for some special reason, she didn't tell anyone about the two mysterious items she brought from the dream.

Even if the material of the item clearly does not appear to exist on Earth, it is common sense that it should be reported to the team headquarters.

"Mana-senpai, what's wrong, it looks like it's in such a bad state~"

Muraka came to the headquarters for the second time, and she thought that she was the first to arrive, and she suddenly found Mana who was listless and fighting with her eyelids.

Seeing that the idol in her heart was so unenergetic, as if she hadn't rested well, Muraka was suddenly a little worried.

In her eyes, Rei Mana can be said to be a god-like existence.

When Rijina was selected for UPIC by the Defense Force, she was the only patrol police officer in Kyoto City, but she won a good score that crushed all the Defense Force personnel at that time.

This is not your average excellence.

At that time, there were hundreds of people who participated in the selection, all of whom were the elite of the defense force.

At that time, all the soldiers of the Defense Force who thought that she was only able to participate in the selection because she went through the back door was deeply ashamed.

Since then, the Defence Force has lifted restrictions in the open selection process, allowing more women to show their skills and join the Earth Defense Force, the elite armed force of mankind.

This includes the abolition of the rule that only UPIC members will be selected from within the Defence Force.

Even since Rijinna, there have not been any UPIC members who are not from the defense forces.

"Nothing..."

Mana shook her head, she didn't notice that Muraka had some admiration and respect at this time.

"Oh..."

"Did Mana-senpai eat breakfast?"

Muraka didn't care about Mana's indifference, and gently handed over a cup of milk tea.

"I don't drink this, and besides, according to the team rules, meals are not allowed in the headquarters."

Mana just wants to be quiet for a while at this time, and there are too many things on her mind.

So the tone couldn't help but be a little colder.

"Oh... I'll pay attention later. ”

This time, Muraka is much more honest.

Obediently sitting in his place, like a kitten that has just been trained.

Then, the team members quickly arrived.

After a few more minutes, Captain Ihara strode in.

"Looks like everyone came early."

"I'm sorry, your vacation ended a few hours early, and after the research and decision of the command, it was decided to explore the sea area where Jörmungård appeared, and at the same time, the UPIC team members will explore the depths of the seabed."

"Muraka, Noi is in charge of docking with the fleet, assisting in confirming the trajectory of Jörmungad's movements, and investigating the cause of the sudden appearance of the monster.

Lijinna, Bourdain piloted the Blue Whale deep-water submarine to conduct a detailed survey of the seabed. ”

"The above is the detailed order of the branch, everyone, let's go!"

Ihara smiled and closed the minutes.

“GIG！”

The team members stood up in unison and replied at the same time.

…

"Goo-goo-goo..."

"Even if it is the Blue Whale, at 3,912 meters under the sea, there is an inevitable murmur."

As a Blue Whale that focuses on military combat capabilities, there are only four pilot stations on the normal stage, which are responsible for direction, artillery fire system, as well as liaison system and observation system.

Since this is not a combat mission, it is only necessary to drive and observe, at this time Reina is responsible for the movement of the Blue Whale, and Bourdain is responsible for the observation position.

"But the bottom of the sea... In fact, it is not as beautiful as imagined. ”

Bolden sighed, not caring at all about Reina's response.

The black waters, with the criss-crossed, intricate submarine mountains, the shipwrecks that pop into view from time to time, and the inexplicable, feel like a large recycling station.

Through the mission, you can also enjoy the scene thousands of meters under the sea, even if it is a bit boring, the Bolden team feels that it is very cost-effective.

It's a pity that the driver is not Muraka, and the atmosphere can't be active at all.

Li Jinna is still too dull to be interesting at all.

At this time, Li Zhennai's attention was still highly concentrated, and the environment inside the seabed was very complicated, and although the Blue Whale was only thirty meters long, it was also very difficult to manipulate in such an environment.

She needs to be careful to steer the Blue Whale, after all, she is still a pilot, so the technique of piloting the submarine...

A bit of an amateur, so to speak...

"Is it there?"

Bolden made a surprise and pointed to a huge crater in the distance.

Looking at the shape, it looks a bit like Jörmungård's lair.

In particular, some of the polluting substances in the vicinity have exploded, which seems to prove the truth.

Li Zhenna nodded slightly, maneuvered the submarine with outstanding performance under him, and slowly approached the big pit.

"There, there seems to be something..."

Bolden used a variety of equipment, such as thermal imaging, to repeatedly scan the vicinity of the crater, and he himself searched back and forth with a scrutinizing eye.

"This is, pattern? It's not like something modern..."

As if he had discovered something, Bourdain stared at a boulder near the pit.

"Need to get closer?"

Reina also noticed the boulder with faint carved marks.

After estimating the distance, it seems that it can get closer.

"Please, get closer, I'll take a picture and take it back to study."

"Understood."

Li Zhenna was preoccupied, carefully manipulating the Blue Whale to twist its body and keep getting closer to the boulder.

"Very well, that's it, that's it."

Bolden tapped on the keyboard, and soon the observation system began to analyze all aspects of the boulder, and several photographs were stored in the system.

"I don't know what these patterns mean, but I think it must have something to do with Jörmungandre."

After Bolden was done, he said to Ri Mana.

Li Zhenna did not say anything, but manipulated the Blue Whale to gradually rise.

It is clear that there is no more valuable information here.

“ang…”

Just as the Blue Whale was just moving away from this sea area, the sea suddenly rioted, and the turbulent current caused the Blue Whale to continue to shake violently.

Caught off guard in the submarine cabin, the two almost got out of the pilot's seat, but fortunately, Lijina reacted quickly, directly manipulated the Blue Whale to descend quickly, and slowly landed on the bottom of the sea.

The two of them were also stunned, but the faces of the Bolden team members changed greatly: "I know, could this be Jörmungard's cub?" ”

"Nani?"

“ang！”

As if to reflect the crow's beak of the Bolden team, a dark shadow much "petite" than Jörmungård gradually shrouded the sky above the Blue Whale, and the faces of the two seemed to be covered with a layer of black shadow.

The thirty-meter Blue Whale is like a child compared to this guy.

"You..."

Reina glanced at Bolden, her face indescribably nervous.

Although the Blue Whale is a military submarine, this time it is a reconnaissance mission, so it is equipped with not many weapons, and what is even more uncomfortable is that these weapons are even more useless in the face of a monster that may still have flammable materials in its body.

"I don't think this guy is going to be eyeing us, is he?!"

Bolden stared at the monster similar to Jörmungandr, and had a sense of foreboding.

“ang！”

The dark green eyes opened in an instant, and the fierce gaze of Jörmungard II instantly made the two of them tremble.

"Can you not shut up!?"

Li Zhenna glared at Bourdon, and the Bolden team members looked innocent, and then hurriedly said: "Hurry up and turn off the detection lights and the like, maybe Jörmungader is attracted by the lights!" ”

Reina reacted very quickly, quickly turned off the lights, and stopped the engine by the way.

“ang…”

Jörmungard hesitated, but still approached the Blue Whale.

"Damn, it looks like it just confirmed our location... Blame me for finding out too late! ”

Bolden's chubby face turned a little pale with fright, and at this time, Jörmungard's dark green eyes inadvertently met Bolden's eyes, and Bolden was even more confused, clasped his hands together, and kept drawing crosses on his chest, and then closed his eyes suddenly: "Apayasu bless, Buddha bless, God bless..."

“…”

Li Zhenna looked at Bolden who was temporarily cramming, with a helpless expression, but she couldn't vomit about the current predicament, so she could only watch Jörmungader slam into her!!

"Ahhh

The Bolden team members suddenly let out a woman-like scream!

"Boom!!"

The Blue Whale, which was hit hard, was like a baseball that was hit, instantly soaring into the air, then tumbling, and dozens of seconds later, slamming into the bottom of the sea!

“ang！”

Tyranny flashed in Jörmungård's eyes, and the dazzling light of the dark sea converged on his forehead...

"Are you going to die?"

Reina endured the pain in her body and looked at the Bolden team members behind her, who were already foaming at the mouth and fainting.

A helpless smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"Huh!"

Just as she closed her eyes, ready to wait for death to come.

Suddenly, I felt a brighter light coming from my eyes.

When I opened my eyes, I found that it was actually the lightsaber that was brought out of the ruins!

"Pick it up and fight!"

"Nani?"

Hear an unfamiliar yet gentle voice.

"Limana, let's fight!"

Mana subconsciously stretched out her hand.

Hold on tightly to this dazzling light.

Then, like an instinct engraved in the bone marrow.

She pulled the light into her chest and jerked it high above her head!

Heart-rending rage:

"Nexus!!"
