"Whoa!, poof!?"

"Hey, even the sneeze is quieter, it's not in your house. ”

Seeing that Bedwell was about to sneeze again, Galahad hurriedly gagged her mouth, and watched as she swallowed the sneeze back into her throat in sadness and pain.

"Why do you always make this mistake for no reason......"

"Ah, you see, it's not a physical need. ”

Bedwell snorted, and sneezed and said something good would happen.

"That kind of rumor...... Even if it's true, it's a bad thing. ”

Galahad covered his head, there was no "human" in the city for a long time, and Galahad, who discovered this again, couldn't help but have a headache for this operation.

Because now around the city, it looks like a living military base. There are no normal life, but there are just monsters called "new humans", although it is a good thing that there are many more targets all of a sudden.

But there are so many of them that there is no problem in knocking them down casually without outside help, but it is very difficult to bring them back without alerting them. What's more, these guys seem to be tireless at all, walking the streets almost all day, as if they are on the alert for something.

"There is not much time to observe, so I can only arbitrarily cover the surface with points. ”

Galahad leaned down and recorded in his notebook any of the conditions he had observed over the course of time, any of which might have been useful.

"Judging by the time these monsters have been infested so far, their bodies should be tireless. It just needs to disappear en masse around midnight the next day. Consideration is given to efficiency as well as purpose. During this time, they should go to the group to do activities such as 'replenishing the energy needed for activities'. ”

"Hmm. Seems to look pretty good. ”

Bedwell on the side nodded, "But writing in a notebook is definitely not as good as carrying a guy back to the errand yourself." Galahad, it's the middle of the night you're talking about, and we're not going to take this opportunity to go out for a walk?"

“...... Hmph, that's what I want to say. ”

Putting the notebook back in his close-fitting clothes, Galahad stood up.

Although the outside is almost full of vigilance now, it is not just a "new human". But if you don't enter the tiger's den, you can only stay here to investigate for a few days. If he couldn't bring back any useful material, then even if Dorana didn't say it, Galahad would feel ashamed of his current position.

As for the weird guys in this city, let's figure it out when we meet them.

"There are still ten minutes or so to go, and the two of us will go out together, and we will take down those monsters in the places where they will pass alone, as we have investigated before. Be sure not to make a big fuss, and be fast. Anyway, I'll do the bait, and Galahad, you'll be in charge of solving it. ”

"Oh!"

......

As Galahad considered. The period around midnight is a time for these "new humans" to rest and eat.

Although I want to find out what they are eating. But there is no such idle work anymore. To get a complete corpse, it is really not enough to get a limb, even a hair, as long as you can get it, it is already a success of the mission.

Except for the sound of the footsteps of these "new humans" in the silent streets, there is no extra noise. Those "humans" who were originally here no longer know where they were placed or whether they were tortured.

Therefore, such an enemy is what disgusts Galahad, and he can't even talk about his opponent. Since it is an opponent, it should stand up and fight with dignity, whether you win or lose, it will be a respectable battle.

However, they actually got involved with innocent people, and even created a monster like a "new human", where people are not like humans and ghosts. Therefore, they can only be called enemies, and there is no duel, only defeat.

【Smack】

The trumpet sounded, and unlike Bedwell, who waited, what Galahad needed to do was to attract the attention of the lone "new human" as much as possible.

Because Galahad had a bold speculation. All the functions of the "new humans" on the drawings have been described, but this is only the "full function" on the surface, and no one knows whether they can play all of them, and how many organs they can use at their maximum.

This is an important point that cannot be overlooked, so it is important to take this opportunity to investigate it thoroughly.

Finally found yourself!

The "new human" moved, and for a short time her eyes began to glow like lamps.

Well, this is the first one.

After that, her position is on the roof, so if she wants to attack herself, the second step she has to do is ......

Caper!

The tendons in her legs strengthened rapidly, and in a matter of seconds, the "new human" had transformed into a pair of legs that were large enough for her to leap to a height.

This is the second change, and both can be used at the same time. But that's to be expected.

So, the next thing is the most important thing!

“...... Drink. ”

Galahad jumped into the air, the height of a house was nothing in her opinion, and her purpose was to test whether the "new human" could use the third, bodily functions at the same time.

Sharp claws, rapid hardening and bulging of the bones of the hands. The third, it seems, these guys are really not so easy to deal with.

So......

【Bang】

The collision of the blade and the hard bone, with his absolute strength, after Garahad failed to strike again, he swung his sword and slashed towards the opponent's chest.

It stands to reason that when they encounter danger, they can immediately grow a piece of bone that protects the vital parts of the chest. However......

"Squeak...... Chirping. ”

There was a sudden strange noise in the chest of the "new human", and, expectedly, the protective bone that had been formed in a matter of moments was not generated, as if the brain could not handle it because of too many physical changes at the same time.

I see, three, is the most they can do, the number of body deformations? No more, no less, it seems that there is no possibility of a war at present.

So......

The slashed "New Human" seemed to want to wail, but she just opened her mouth wordlessly and was knocked to the ground. Bedwell, who flashed out of the alley, seemed to be fishing in the water, and with great ease, he punched her in the chest, and watched the hapless monster quickly calm down.

It's really a terrifying fist that is strong no matter when you look at it.

"Without further ado, drag this guy away. ”

Galahad said, motioning for Bedwell to carry the dead "new human".

If they really go to rest and replenish their energy, then it won't be long before the guy in charge of refueling them will find that there is one missing.

It was only a matter of time before the infiltrated squad was exposed. I hope the other two groups can hide well.

Still, it's weird.

Judging from the sudden and brief battle just now, these "new humans" are not so much new humans as they are more like machine-like objects created by those artists.

They all have something in common - they behave very mechanically, as if they were clockwork. Obviously, when they find themselves, this "new human" can choose to shout immediately, and if they recruit their companions, then he and Bedwell can only choose to run away immediately.

But she didn't choose to shout, but chose to attack herself at that moment, which felt like her control organ had forcibly given her such an order and could not be disobeyed. I can only do the things that are set mechanically, and I can't judge the most reasonable way to do it according to the situation at the time

However, these "new humans" are also slightly different from those machines. They can move on their own, and although their behavior seems a little sluggish, at least they are walking on their own volition.

So it is really unreasonable that such a person will choose to replenish energy and rest in the middle of the night. Because if they were all equipped with the same consciousness and doing the same thing, then they would have chosen to patrol like this endlessly, let alone rest.

This...... Does it mean that these "new humans" can still control themselves in the way they think on the basis of being able to judge their actions independently......?
