Early in the morning, I woke up to find myself lying on a large bed in the mansion.

Sit up and rub your head in confusion.

- Hmm...... What happened?

Recall a little bit about the recent events.

……

The incident of the vine-growing monster really caused a big mess.

When Captain Wei came back, he unsurprisingly scolded me and Vice Captain Onishi severely.

During this operation, I was severely punished by the higher authorities for forcibly escorting Dr. Watanabe into the warning area and piloting a fighter plane without permission.

However, due to the captain's and Onishi's strong defenses, the doctor's release on bail, and the help of a certain commander, I was finally released after only two weeks of confinement.

The matter came to an end.

……

After a long period of research, the "Viara Vaccine Restart Program" was a complete success.

Scientists developed the "Vyala Pellet Bomb" and produced it in large quantities.

Every team now has this item.

As long as it is loaded into the gun, it will emit flash particles, and the poisonous fog virus will be instantly destroyed when it touches the particles.

The fog dissipated.

It is used to open the way in the fog during combat, which is conducive to enhancing security.

However, the fog will re-disperse shortly after it clears.

And after a period of "fog elimination", the poisonous fog viruses have mutated - they are resisting human counterattacks in their own way.

……

One day, I received two letters.

One was sent to me by the girl named Jingwei.

She told me something about the elite in her letter - she couldn't come and meet me directly due to various special reasons right now, so she had to convey it like this.

The handwriting of the letter was sloppy, and it was obvious that it had been written in a hurry.

She had a deep contact with the elite man, so she knew him well, but she didn't tell me the details of the man - it just showed that he wasn't just a bad guy, and that he rebelled against the group because of some kind of hardship.

I'm sure I'll meet him again after that, and I want to "go and save him".

This is where the content comes to an abrupt end.

- To save him?

But I don't know this man......

I messaged Dr. Watanabe about the identity of the elite.

However, the doctor was too busy to reply immediately.

Let's look at another letter.

The seal of the envelope is patterned with a dark green shark.

It was sent by a mysterious person who called himself "Hidden Secret".

He invited me to a small suburb in the E-14 area to participate in a game.

If I don't come, he'll retaliate sometime in the near future.

"What's that? Going to such a distant place? ”

I took it as a prank, threw the letter away, and the matter was forgotten.

……

January 1, 2021.

Today is New Year's Day, and the new year is here again.

I've been here for a year now.

The world filled with poisonous fog outside has also lasted for a year, which is very impressive.

In the standby room of our fourth squad, the Akaza team proposed to redecorate the small room to welcome the new year with a new look.

Everyone was excited to get into action.

As I moved the chair, I saw a small robot sculpture on the table, and I reached out to play with it in curiosity.

Suddenly, the hand slipped, and the sculpture broke out of the palm of the hand and shattered into a brilliant fragment on the ground.

I panicked and subconsciously squatted down to clean up.

"Hey, life, what's going on?" Yuan Hexuan approached and asked.

The next moment came a scream from the side: "Ah! My Phosphorus Key! ”

- It was the voice of Natsumekaze, who ran over with a black line on his face.

I returned the pieces to him and said guiltily, "I'm sorry, I'll make amends." ”

Natsume walked away in frustration: "Forget it, you can't afford to pay it back." ”

Although everyone knew that I was careless and comforted both of us, it still pierced my heart like a thorn.

On the first day of the new year, something uncomfortable happened.

……

January 21.

Bluebeard suddenly jumped on my shoulder, yelling to take me to see something.

"I'm sorry, I'm going to work, I'll talk about it next time." I sent him perfunctorily.

Bluebeard looked dissatisfied: "That's what you said last time. ”

I reluctantly carried him to the table: "No way, I've been really busy lately." I'll talk about it when I get back, okay? ”

Bluebeard sulked and jumped off the table to hide.

I didn't have time to pay attention to him in a hurry, so I ran out of the room and returned to the team.

Recently, there have been a number of "supernatural curse" incidents in Starrain City in E-23, and we need to go and investigate.

The enemy was concentrated in a department store, large and scattered.

After we went deep into the department store, we accidentally fell into their encirclement and fell into a passive counterattack.

In an emergency, they split up and broke out of the encirclement.

Natsume and I were in a group.

Theoretically, it was quite unreasonable for two medics to team up together, but at that time, the situation was urgent, and there was no need to care so much.

While we were hiding and searching, we came across an enemy man in black and pursued him.

The man in black knew that he was outnumbered, so he ran upstairs.

We are in hot pursuit from the tall buildings.

Natsume shoots the man in black, who stops in front of the glass wall at the end of the hallway.

Then he covered his wound and turned around slowly.

"Well, you guys won. Because your people have captured my being. But don't get complacent too soon. ”

The man in black said coldly, and stretched out his hand to us—to the corridor behind us.

His body immediately melted into a cloud of black solution.

Natsume approached the solution and saw that it contained an unknown fragment and picked it up.

"Can this thing be a collector's item?" Natsume muttered to herself.

"Wait, Natsume, don't pick up the enemy's stuff." I stopped him, "Also, don't you feel a little restless in the air around you?" ”

Suddenly, the corridor behind him erupted with a dazzling light, as dazzling as a flame in the night.

In an instant, most of the glass on the wall in front of him shattered, and the sound of breaking was like thunder in the night.

There was a stream of heat behind him.

We immediately realized the danger - there was an explosion on the floor!

The eyes of the two locked to the window, and almost at that moment, without hesitation, they slammed into the glass,

Flying glass shards fall into the night sky like a meteor shower, refracting a fantastical light.

In this instant, he jumped out of the tall building and escaped from the blazing fire.

Our figures cut a graceful arc in the air, like spirits dancing in the night sky.

The wind whipped down his cheeks, and the tall buildings gradually shrank behind him.

- Oops! What's next?

There is no sandbag underneath, and if you fall to the ground, you will definitely die!

At this thrilling moment, the roar of an airplane suddenly came from the sky.

A helicopter pierced the sky and scurried in the wind.

The helicopter hovered at low altitude, and at the last moment, a rope was stretched out and we were firmly tied.

The helicopter then flew smoothly in a certain direction.

In this long moment, our hearts beat like a drum.

Where did this helicopter come from? Why did it save us?

I can't care about it so much, so I climbed up the cabin along the rope.

The moment I just entered, my body seemed to have been electrocuted, and I passed out numbly.

……

When I woke up, I found myself and Natsume in an unmanned plane.

The plane was soaring silently above the clouds.

The cabin was lit with a faint blue light that contrasted with the cold metal casing.

The air in the cabin was cold and dry, mixed with a hint of mystery.

A variety of complex instruments and equipment are neatly arranged together.

Flashing lights cast a blur of light and shadow on the wall.

Just as I was surprised, Natsume woke up.

I had a letter in my hand that came out of nowhere.

It reads: "Welcome to the way to the game. ”

The sender is hidden.

Natsume and I tacitly ran to the cockpit to check, and there was no one in the cockpit.

Rows of mechanical joysticks and buttons work silently next to the driver's seat, making the empty seat seem particularly lonely.

The plane is fully autonomous,

Is this considered kidnapping?

What exactly does the man who is called the hermit want to do?

With this question in mind, we reluctantly waited in our seats for the plane to arrive at its destination – only to get there and find out.

It looks like I was "invited" to participate in that game, and I thought it was a prank, but I didn't expect it to be real......

I looked at Natsume and saw him pull out a golden palm-sized watch from his pocket and look apprehensively at the scales on it.

Natsume inadvertently glanced at me, his eyes were a little strange, and he looked away again.

There was a sudden tingling in my heart.

- Oops, that mysterious person must be looking for me, I'm a problem with Natsume.

But don't panic, if something happens, I still have a magic wand to defend myself.

Yes, there is a magic wand, and I am not afraid at all.

"How could a normal person make such a big noise? Maybe there's something wrong with that place, and maybe you can figure something out if you go. ”

Natsume said that, which gave me some comfort.
