"There are some things that can't just be seen by the evidence, Yagami."

Bai Tangjing sat on the root of a tree exposed on the ground, touched his chin and said inexplicably.

"In terms of logical reasoning, there are three of the five chairs that have not eaten meat, but now all eyes are focused on two of them, and instead ignore the one who is most thirsty for superhuman force, is it a bit inappropriate?"

“...... Drip! ”

The brief silence represented a sudden realization, and Takayuki Yagami didn't even say a polite goodbye, and a busy sound of hanging up came from the earpiece.

The boy was stunned and put the blacked-out phone in front of him, and then smiled dumbly.

“...... Alas? This guy! ”

Bai Tangjing can't remember the last time he was hung up like this, when it happened.

Was it before he finished playing the entire martial arts gym in Fukushima Prefecture by himself?

Or did you take over the blood letter of the boss of the Yuanshan Group before he agreed?

People who are not easy to mess with will naturally gain respect.

However, Bai Tangjing was not dissatisfied with his old friend.

Takayuki Yagami is such a guy.

If there was an opportunity to prevent another catastrophe that would affect the fate of millions of people, this man would not hesitate to seize it.

As for the consequences, will it be broken bones, or will it be painful?

None of them will be taken into his eyes.

That's why the two of them became friends.

"Acute stupidity." Bai Tangjing sighed helplessly for his friend's character.

"I really didn't even understand the situation in my own organization, so I was reckless?"

But after sighing, the boy turned on his phone again and dialed another call.

Yagami's stubborn temper insisted on doing something, and it is estimated that even Godzilla will not be able to pull it back.

And Bai Tangjing has no reason, and he doesn't want to stop it.

Then you can only help with helpers.

"Young! Lost Minister! For the sake of a stupid friend of mine, there's something I want to trouble you......"

~~~~~~

On Bermuda's boundless sea, an outpost of humanity's best engineering ingenuity was built here.

Outpost 54 of the Imperial Organization, "Cheer Castle".

The dull and deep sea, with tens of millions of tons of steel, withstood the pressure of the deep sea with its own quality and exquisite architectural structure.

After the advent of Titan, it was as if great advances in bioscience had led to rapid advances in technology.

Holographic projection, high-strength materials......

The technology inside the underwater base seemed almost like science fiction to humans a decade ago.

Thousands of Imperial Order staff are here, working around the clock to observe Godzilla's activities.

Yagami hurriedly opened the door, still holding a mobile phone that had been inadvertently crumpled into slag, and walked quickly to Professor Serizawa's office.

casually threw away the garbage on the road, and Yagami felt a little emotional.

Although he is more than ten years older than Bai Tangjing, he is still a talent who has been seriously admitted to the lawyer's examination.

But he has been in the market for too long, and his sensitivity to the upper-level game is far less than that of a sixteen-year-old boy.

And since the greatest possibility has been put on the table, I will never turn a blind eye.

I must tell Professor Serizawa so that he can understand the problem too!

"Buckle-Professor?"

Yagami came to Serizawa's office and forced an anxious knock on the door.

"Come in."

Yagami walked into the office.

This person is still the same as when they first met.

With gray hair and square-rimmed glasses, he frowns and flips through academic materials that seem to never finish.

When he saw someone coming in, he took off his glasses and held them in his hand and looked at Yagami.

Yagami didn't wait for Serizawa to speak, and he rushed to speak first with a face full of eagerness.

"Professor Serizawa, I think that if you want to control the abuse of the Titan gene, you need to focus not only on Europe, but also on ......."

"And Kislev, right?"

It seemed that he had directly seen through what Yagami was going to say, and before he could finish speaking, Serizawa interrupted him.

Yagami was surprised at first.

He didn't even finish his train of thought, and the other party knew the answer?

Then he looked at the unchanging scholar and suddenly understood.

He had known for a long time.

Immediately, a fiery anger swelled in his eyes.

This is not an adjective.

There was a fire as hot as lava that stained his eyes red!

His hands were unconsciously thin and sharp, as if the blood and muscles had been dried by the heat in his body.

It takes on the claws of a bird.

"You already knew?!"

Yagami's voice was a little hoarse, and the temperature of the entire room was rising suddenly.

I thought we were all wholeheartedly trying to stop the abuse and loss of control of the Titan gene and avoid a catastrophe.

As a result, it took a lot of effort, even at the expense of offending two of the five chairs.

You told me - you already fucking knew about their research on the merger?!

Without venting the power in his body, Yagami calmed down after looking at Serizawa for a while.

Yes, how can the international organization that manages the affairs of the Titan not have such a "sense of smell"?

The way he runs up and down these days is really a clown.

"I've always thought that we were on the same page, at least morally."

Yagami's voice was a little disheartened.

He joined the Imperial Organization because he saw the disaster when Godzilla came ashore, and he couldn't bear to do something.

And Serizawa's identity and style as a scholar once made Yagami think that he was different from politicians.

Can ...... now

"International organizations can put pressure on one side, but not on both at the same time. How foolish it is to be attacked on the belly and back. ”

From beginning to end, even though the heat on Yagami's body had made him sweat a little, Serizawa's expression was still calm and composed.

But just when Yagami had a cold face, didn't want to listen to Serizawa's "politicianization" argument anymore, and was ready to leave.

He spoke suddenly.

"The letter of appointment of the head of the raid will be sent to your phone."

"What did you say?"

Yagami was dumbfounded.

He was ready to quit the organization.

What does it mean to give him the right to raid at this time?

"I wanted to finish the survey of Europe and then put pressure on Kislev. Although there is a high chance of a catastrophe breaking out, it will be able to preserve the survival of the organization and contribute to the future exploration of the coexistence of humans and Titans. ”

Serizawa said to himself first.

Then the conversation changed.

"Just now, the Minister of Hinomoto and the Congressman of the United States of America have communicated with me. Saying that it is for the sake of 'the stable development of human society', they want to see the birth of a surprise inspection team. ”

Serizawa's glasses in his hand, the temples pointed at Yagami.

"—under your leadership."

The meaning is clear.

Whether it's really to stop possible future experiments from getting out of control, or to thwart the progress of Kislev's joint research with Europe.

The two countries, or more behind-the-scenes forces, will not hesitate to help.

The Imperial Organization has the confidence to exert pressure at both ends.

"Lost Minister? Congressman Paterson? I don't know these people...... Belch! ”

Before Yagami could finish his words in confusion, he had a flash of inspiration, and a majestic young figure came to mind.

Then he smiled bitterly.

"Bai Tang, you guy......"

I really didn't finish my sentence, so you helped me pave the road.

A little ghost who is sixteen years old and has not been a few months old......

In Yagami's smile, you can vaguely glimpse the bitterness of being an adult in the face of young people who are too much better than herself, and the relief of being cared for by friends.

"The lament of being an incompetent adult is sufficient. Now ......"

Serizawa put back on his glasses with a blank face.

"Get me out to work!"

~~~~~~

After opening his mind, Yagami also began to not be limited to the outpost's activity data.

Although on top of that, the quantity and quality of all the Titan organizations in all outposts around the globe are no less.

But now he hadn't forgotten that the Imperial Organization regarded as the core theory, except for the "Titan Behemoth Biological Research".

There is also a course called the "Hollow Earth Theory".

To put it simply, it is the idea that the earth is a two-layered concentric spherical structure.

The interlayer is more energetic than the ground.

It was the fast track for the Titans, and it was the origin and destination of these great beings.

Now, in the midst of the cold winds of the Siberian plateau.

He is taking Hayten Masashi and Join Brody, as well as the elites of the Imperial Order's Action Group, to inspect a special outpost in the name of the Raid Patrol Team.

It was a passage discovered by the Imperial Order decades ago.

- A passage to the "Hollow Earth"!

At the end of the nameless canyon, a building in the solemn style of Kislev from the 80s stands on the mountain wall.

More than ten meters of snow covered it.

Just by looking at it, the solid materials and design make people have no doubt that it can withstand the close bombardment of thermonuclear weapons.

And this is just the gate to this outpost.

When the aircraft was about to land, the cabin had already been opened, and Yagami, who was thinly dressed, stood at the hatch early.

What was presented to Takayuki Yagami was not the outpost management who had been in a hurry due to the surprise inspection.

It's a team of well-groomed, reserved and confident people with a smile.

This couldn't help but make his brow furrow.

Anyone with a little common sense will know that it is impossible for a surprise inspection to make the inspected unit really unprepared.

It's just that this preparation time will be very short, so that the person being inspected will not be able to cheat.

According to Yagami's procedures, the information of their arrival should not be communicated until they cross the border of Kislev.

But now, the one on the other side is ready......

"It's not good."

Yagami muttered.

But behind him, Brody, who had wrapped himself thickly, reminded him mercilessly.

"Come on, you're the one who came!"

Yagami pursed his lips, said nothing more, and led everyone off the plane.

"Welcome, Mr. Yagami!"

A blonde, blue-eyed doctor who did not hide his French accent at all walked over and shook Yagami's hand.

Behind him was a muscular man with a typical Slavic appearance.

At the base belonging to the Imperial Order, he was neatly dressed in a Kislev military uniform.

"Hello, I'm the ...... of this inspection team"

"I know, I know."

I didn't wait for Yagami to follow the procedure and complete the visit notice of the inspection team.

The French-accented doctor interrupted him enthusiastically, and Yagami took the lead in the conversation unconcernedly as Yagami suddenly sank his face.

"We know what you're here for, and we're ready to prove to you the harmlessness and stability of our research to the world without concealment."

As he spoke, he led the group toward the outpost.

Yagami didn't know what the doctor was planning.

But he hasn't made a move yet, and the opponent's direct play style of playing cards makes him a little blind.

However, in order to suppress the ambitions of Europe and Kislev for Titan research, and the experimental disasters that they may have in the future as a result of this ambition.

"Becoming an Immortal"

Yagami had no idea of backing down.

Immediately led his team members in.

Upon entering the outpost, Yagami discovers that it is more of a "road administration" than a "sentry".

The main body of the outpost is a large tunnel.

Huge steel bars in the vertical and horizontal areas are used as auxiliary supports, and high-power searchlights illuminate.

The width and height are hundreds of meters, and the length is even deeper.

Speaking English, French, and Russian, at the edge of the tunnel, a long strip of base was carved out for people to work and live.

Now, Yagami and his party walk through the long corridors of the base, looking through the floor-to-ceiling windows at the spectacular underground tunnels outside the base.

"All the personnel of this outpost are saddened by the tragedy that has taken place in your country. We fully understand your resistance and fear of experimentation with the Titan Gene interacting with humans. ”

The doctor said to Yagami affectionately, as if he really sighed for the lives of people thousands of miles away.

The empathy in the second half of the sentence is sincere and full of understanding.

It can make people who don't know think that he and Yagami have been old friends for many years.

But considering that his expression last second was still that fiery, reserved and implied haughty smile, Yagami himself only felt disgusted by this.

In order to catch up with the research frontier in this new round of "arms race", he can't even think about how crazy these guys can be.

"But! Mr. Yagami. The doctor's expression changed suddenly, and Kang became excited.

"Titan Gene will undoubtedly be the future light of mankind! No matter how much damage is done on the way to chasing the light, for the human race, we should never abandon the light! ”

"What change in science hasn't done terrible harm? In the face of a bright future, this is just a 'risk' that can be tolerated. ”

The way he spoke with kindness almost gave Yagami a delusion.

This man is not a doctor of biology, but a politician who is dedicated to the future of mankind.

But Yagami did not forget his duty on this visit.

"So what you want to say is that the experiments that you have conducted here, using the Titan genes of unknown origin, that have not been reported to the organization, are the 'risks' that the people living in this world deserve to bear?"

Yagami's voice was colder than the cold Siberian wind outside the base.

But his anger burned even more than the skin on his chest.

His hands in his trouser pockets, because of anger, have unconsciously changed to the claws of the birds.

Officer Kislev, who was behind the doctor, was aware of this, and faintly blocked in front of Yagami.

The eyes of the Slavs were turning towards the beast boy.

The atmosphere was a little frozen for a while.

Even Brody Sr. pursed his lips and hid backwards with his information.

The Doctor seemed to be unaware of the change in atmosphere.

Still smiling reservedly, he pulled Officer Kislev away.

"People are at risk of dying even if they eat and drink, Mr. Yagami. Life is a constant process of making choices by weighing 'risk'. ”

"Then the 'risk' of your experiment must be pitiful, right?" Yagami sneered, unabashedly mocking.

"At least ......" the reserved smile on the doctor's face vanished like ice cubes in the sun.

Only pure arrogance remains.

"Much safer than the experiments of you imbecile fools."

With a snap, the entire base was put into operation with a snap of the doctor's fingers.

Yagami and his patrol team members were stunned as they looked at the tunnel not far from the base, which had just been lit.
