Volume 1 The Old Man Chapter 16: Losing Voice
The shoes squeaked when they stepped on the soft sand. The smoke was filled, and the sudden sea breeze dispelled the fog that had enveloped the Clever and Yuka, and at the end of their line of sight stood the 'King' of Orphnoch. It doesn't have Kageyama by its side, is this something to worry about or something to be thankful about? Qiao has no bottom in his heart, maybe he should be lucky, so that there is one less opponent?
Yuka followed Qiao's side. So far, she hasn't said a word. Qiao didn't have any doubts or doubts, because he clearly felt that the feeling brought to him by the Orphnoch of the other party was exactly the same as the feeling he had a long time ago, and there was no need to confirm that the Orphnoch standing beside him was Yuka Nagata.
"Nagata, be careful." Yuka nodded.
〔5-5-5〕
『StandyBy』
"Transform!"
『Complete』
The sea breeze whipped up the sand and dust again, blowing on the three "people" facing each other. The 'king' didn't move, but several gray vines stretched out from behind it again, and they attacked the two of them!
Clever and Yuuka each rolled in one direction to dodge the attack. As soon as Yuhua stretched out her hands, a pair of golden light wings appeared behind her, and she directly began to fly at a low altitude; He took out the phone from his belt and turned it into a gun, shooting the vines that stretched everywhere as he ran.
The 'king' did nothing, he stood still except the vines, as if the vines were its essence, and when it was withdrawn, it was like a puppet that had lost its control.
Before she had time to think about it, Yuka had already rushed in front of it. Her outstretched wings illuminated the sand and dust as she slid forward, tucking the wings of light in front of her chest, and a huge mark of light and air currents bloomed horizontally, and above and below this horizontal line, the dimensional scenery seemed to have been staggered by this slash. The next moment, everything was back to the same place, except for the 'king' who was in the center of the slash.
Irregular lightning began to jump up and down its body, and its hands covered the slash marks on its chest, and it stepped back in some amazement.
『ExceedCharge』
Skillful fist arrived at this time, leaned over, and struck sideways, this blow unbiased on the glowing wound.
A red φ mark emerged from behind the King, and its retreating body froze for a moment. Qiao withdrew his fist and stood up straight. The monster in front of him had already begun to ignite a blue fire on his body, shattering into several pieces and falling to the ground, turning into burning white ashes.
[PunchingUnit]
Qiao quietly looked at the ashes that were still burning, and an indescribable strange feeling lingered in his heart - is it really that simple? This feeling of unreality unsettled him. Rushing to this source of terror with mortal will, but less than a minute later, it was all ... It's over.
The flower slowly fell to Qiao's side. Qiao looked at her, as if he suddenly understood something. If there is a variable in all this that he does not understand, it is only the flower in front of him.
"Nagata, why, we were able to defeat this guy so easily?"
Shake one’s head.
"What does it mean to shake your head..."Qiao's doubts have been put to the maximum - the whole thing from Yuuka being taken away, to Tsuiko's invasion of Meteor Juku, to the several of them coming to save Yuka, and finally even easily defeating 'Wang'. The whole thing was deliberately arranged as if it was arranged, and it was chilling. So thinking about it this way, it must be Kageyama Tsuneko who set up this game, but what is the reason for her doing this? If it was to run the 'king', then she would be over after the decisive battle a few months ago.
Wrong!
Coincidentally staring at the abnormal knotted flowers in front of her - she hadn't said a word until now.
"Nagata, are you... There's also the so-called 'real power of Orphnoch', right? ”
This time, Yukika's answer was,
Nod.
----
An hour later, SmartBrain Hospital.
"I want to... Ms. Nagata's situation was the first time we had encountered it. A doctor in a white lab coat looked at Yuka on the examination equipment lying behind the glass and said to the people standing in front of him, "Miss Nagata's body structure has completely devoid of any human features, not only from the perspective of the appearance that we can see, but also from the cellular level. ”
"In other words, Nagata, can't she turn back into a human being?"
"That's what it looks like at the moment."
# "What a joke! Haitang's voice came from the door, and everyone looked at him, obviously he was wearing a plaster cast on one leg, but he still managed to break free from the dissuasion of several nurses and jumped here on one foot all the way, "Nagata, she can't accept that kind of power!" ”
Xitong didn't speak, just walked over and lifted one of Kaido's arms to help him and approached the other two people - Qiao and Matsuzaki.
"There are a lot of doubts about this matter." Matsuzaki turned to look at Yuka, who was undergoing various examinations, "If you look at the example of evolution, even if Miss Nagata gains the true power of Orphnoch and becomes a complete Orphnoch, she will not lose the ability to speak, Kageyama Tsuneko is the best proof of this, and now she seems to be unable to communicate with us verbally, but she can understand our words, which is like being deprived of the right to speak." ”
"It's a strange thing." Qiao's current mood may be as complicated and incomprehensible as seeing the 'king' standing in front of him alive, as if everything has been messed up, but he feels that something has been left behind by them.
"Mr. Qian," Matsuzaki suddenly shouted, "You don't have to worry about Miss Nagata's appearance, our company still has technology similar to external holographic projection, which can make others see that she is still human, and as for the question of whether she can speak again, I think our company needs to conduct a technical study to see if we can treat her." ”
"What the hell are you talking about?" Kaido was very dissatisfied with Matsuzaki's negative attitude, "The important thing now is not how Nagata should live in the future, but how to change her back!" Before you have done anything, you start thinking about what to do if you can't do it, is that what you mean by helping everyone? ”
"Mr. Kaido..."
"Mr. Haitang, I hope you understand." Matsuzaki turned to look at Kaido, and motioned to Saido not speak, "I hope you can understand that what we are doing is to let humans and Orphnoch coexist peacefully, not to disguise Orphnoch as a human and live together again, if humans are scared at the thought of Orphnoch's appearance, then what is there to talk about coexistence, and now we are providing mimicry devices not to make Miss Nagata become human, but to allow her to temporarily return to her original life until our company's vision is realized, What's more, this change is a complete proof of evolution, and we don't have the technology to reverse this process--"
"Shut up!" Haitang glared angrily, and his face showed lines! "You don't understand anything at all, I'm here to talk about your big truths, don't you know what Nagata has suffered because of her identity as Orphnoch? Now you're telling me that everything is evolution! They all deserve it! You're just a human, you know a Orphnoch, I've had enough of your! I'm going to go find that bastard of Kageyama right now and fight her until she says how to turn Nagata back! ”
Haitang shook off Xitong's hand and moved towards the door.
"I think Haitang is right, maybe Orphnoch is not ready to live with humanity as the norm with the other side of himself, so this kind of evolution is not what everyone wants."
After finishing speaking, he followed.
