Just a few dozen minutes before the Prime Minister made the "declaration of a state of emergency".

Inside the Yokosuka Military Port.

John, who had just flown back from a helicopter and was stationed in the military port, stood in the monitoring base station, looked at the object in the radar display, and frowned tightly.

The target shown on it was only a few dozen nautical miles away from the Yokosuka Naval Port and had entered the interior of Tokyo Bay.

And it's still so swaggering, and it doesn't shy away from it.

If this were a warship of any country other than the United States, John would not hesitate to give the order to "strike with all his might", but this was the only target......

After all, it was not only an American warship, but also the "Lambry" carrying the "supernatural potential" and "supernatural things" destined to be sent to the laboratory in Nevada!

Why is it returning?

Why is it returning?

Every wrinkle on John's face was filled with doubt.

He looked at the radar display and asked the technician next to him without turning his head.

"Still no response?"

"Yes."

The technician replied in a similarly suspicious tone.

"We have sent a communication signal to the Nmbry for more than ten minutes, but the other party has never responded."

John's hooked nose lifted up fiercely, his eyes flashed with disbelief, and he made a hard downward motion in his hand—

"Contact them one more time, and tell them that if the Nmbry still refuses to reply, then we will send warships to intercept it, and we will not rule out attack."

The technician did as he was told.

This time, a few minutes later, the Lambry finally heard back.

“…… Feed? ”

On the other end of the communication channel was a voice with a slightly wry smile.

Hearing this, John narrowed his eyes and felt a little stunned.

“…… Fangos, how could it be you? ”

"Colonel John......"

Fontos paused, and John could even imagine him shrugging his shoulders during the pause.

"There have been some accidents on the Nannanli and we need to return to the military port for repairs, we have just dealt with some things, and we can't communicate with you until now."

"Oh, is it? What accidents can you elaborate on? ”

John asked in a voice of extreme skepticism.

"Uh...... It's the kind of accident you can imagine, typhoon, tsunami, or whatever...... Colonel John, I can report the details to you carefully when I return to the military port, and now please let us return to the military port as soon as possible to rest. ”

"Oh~"

John deliberately lengthened his tone.

"Fangos, is there anyone else besides you who can repay me? For example, the technical officer? ”

"Do you mean Callevit? He fainted in a shipwreck. ”

"Where's the logistics officer?"

"Hans hurt his vocal cords."

"What about Lieutenant Colonel Darcy?"

"Uh, he's dead......"

"Then no matter what kind of officer it is, is there anyone else who can talk back besides you?"

John grew impatient.

But in Fang Gesi's voice, the meaning of a bitter smile became stronger and stronger.

"That...... Colonel John, are these requirements you mentioned very difficult, we are in a difficult situation now, can we wait until we return to Hong Kong to recuperate? ”

The suspicion in John's eyes deepened.

Until a flash of sharpness flashed in his eyes.

"Hey, Fangos......

"What happened to the 'Extraordinary Potential' and the 'Extraordinary Thing'?"

Fangos said in a pretended relaxed tone:

"There is no problem, the shipwreck just now did not affect them."

"Yes......"

John's eyes grew colder.

He was convinced that something had happened on board, and that it had something to do with the "Extraordinarily Potential".

But what exactly happened, he hasn't been able to figure it out yet.

- Could it be that another country secretly blocked the cruiser, seized the warship, and took away the girl, as well as the pendant?

But there are no more than three countries on earth that can do this.

And it is impossible for them to return the warship.

So......

As he hesitated, John felt that he should send a warship to blockade the Nanburi, and announced that someone should be sent to inspect the ship.

But at this moment, a hoarse voice came from the communication channel.

"Mission failed! That girl became a transcendent and took over the place! We can't let her return, we have to destroy her, or else—"

That's Lieutenant Colonel Darcy's voice!

But just after that voice had just said a word, it was as if it had been dragged away, and it was lost.

John instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

The communication channel was there again, and it became the voice of Fangos's speech:

"Colonel John, this ......"

John immediately hung up the communication channel as if he had seen someone with AIDS, and his face was gloomy.

He looked at the technicians around him with a look of horror in their eyes, and took a deep breath:

“…… It seems that we need to make some sacrifices. ”

……

"Lambry".

Manami Mizuhara stood in the main control room, looking at the man who was restrained again in front of him, his face a little stiff.

She didn't expect that she had completely tied up this person and wrapped duct tape around his mouth, but this guy was able to sneak free from the rope and send a warning signal to the commander of the United States at the critical moment of the exchange just now.

"You ......"

She wanted to say something, but found she had nothing to say.

Lieutenant Colonel Darcy looked at her with a look as hard as a rock on his face.

“…… See, this is the price of not killing the enemy. You are destined to be on the opposite side of America, so I will do my best to solve yours. ”

“…… I'm still not going to kill you. At least not now. ”

Minami Mizuhara looked away, but there was determination in her voice.

“…… I won't go down the same path as my senpai. ”

She said quietly in her heart.

Lieutenant Colonel Darcy looked sarcastic, as if he wanted to say something, but at that moment, Fongos suddenly let out a burst of exclamation.

“OH，shit！！！”

Manami Mizuhara immediately looked at him.

"What's going on?"

Fang Gesi's face was dejected, and his eyes were full of horror when he looked at Manami Mizuhara:

“…… FUCK, the Lambury's monitoring system shows that the guys in Yokosuka fired four Tomahawk missiles suspected to be carrying small nuclear warheads!! ”

In an instant, not only Stanny, but also the other soldiers who were tied up instantly became breathless.

"He-"

Stanny shouted angrily:

"Ahh

Even the other officers and men on the ship, even if they were tied up and couldn't speak, their eyes shifted to Lieutenant Colonel Darcy at this moment.

However, the latter still looked awe-inspiring, as if the news had not touched him in any way.

"Tomahawk missiles with nuclear warheads on board?"

Manami Mizuhara's face was still calm.

"Can you get away with it?"

Fang Ges looked at her and shook his head bitterly.

“…… The missiles will arrive in a hundred seconds at most, and the sailing path of our ship is already determined, and there is no way to avoid it. ”

Hearing this, the other people's breathing became even more rapid.

Manami Mizuhara looked around for a week, and the other people's faces were all stunned, and they didn't seem to have any real feeling that they were about to be hit by a missile.

…… Truth be told, she's not afraid.

Because a hundred seconds, if she ran with all her might, it was enough to leave the ship for tens of kilometers, come to the distant sea, and escape from the center of the explosion.

Just like that...... There is no way to bring the bodies of my parents back to shore.

…… And......

…… There is no way to save the lives of these people.

She looked into the eyes of those people, those eyes that were full of longing for life.

…… It's kind of ridiculous to say.

…… These people are obviously the ones who killed her parents.

…… But she still wanted to save them.

"I have always believed that the supernatural exists to make the world more wonderful and mysterious, not to take away the lives of others.

"So...... I can't bear to kill people, or even to see people die.

"So...... I want my sister to know that there is not only one way to save in this world...... I want to pull her back from that 'mispath'. ”

A strange feeling sprouted in my mind.

That's the possibility that lies deep in the soul.

At this moment, a strong obsession, a desire to save others, allowed that possibility to take root and sprout in the depths of my heart, and became extremely active in the body of Mana Mizuhara.

She took a few steps forward, walked past Fangos, walked over to the monitoring screen, looked at the missile's path displayed on it, and closed her eyes.

"No......

“…… There is hope. As long as you live, there will be hope. ”

Manami Mizuhara's muttering voice sounded, obviously very weak, but it seemed to ring in the minds of everyone inside the entire ship, making them involuntarily raise their heads, even in the passage outside the main control room, looking in the direction where Manami Mizuhara was through the wall.

And Mizuhara Manami's own perception rose up in an extremely wonderful way, and she felt that her invisible thoughts seemed to have become tangible powers, and her thoughts turned into "limbs" in the void, climbing in mid-air, ushering in those "evil guests".

- The first missile hits.

The "limb" waved in the direction of the missile, and in the most energy-saving way, the missile was sent out at an angle and several thousand meters away.

- The second and third missiles are also striking at the same time.

The "limbs" were concocted in the same way, sending the two to the sea farther away.

- A fourth missile hits, but there's no room to move the angle.

As a result, the "limbs" explored along the outer edge of the missile and activated the detonating mechanism at a height of several thousand meters from the cruiser.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Four explosions rang out one after another!

Although it set off a monstrous wave, although it bloomed into a big fireball in the air, although it made the entire "Lambry" turbulent, all signals were cut off in an instant.

But in the end, the hull stabilized.

Manami Mizuhara reopened her eyes.

Extremely tired, but there is a new joy.

"It doesn't matter."

She looked at the people next to her, everyone else, including Fangos and Stanny, who all looked at her with a look of reverence that was both ecstatic and incredulous.

Manami Mizuhara smiled with difficulty:

"—I've solved it."

With a wave of her hand, the invisible "limbs" untied the restraints and tapes of the rest of the crew and the soldiers, and the crew stood up from the ground again, looked at each other, and for a moment wanted to do something, but still did nothing, until at last, the expression of joy completely covered their faces, and the whole hull trembled in a frenzied cheer.

"Oooo

"Miss Manami—"

Fang Gesi looked at Manami Mizuhara with eyes that were almost full of tears.

"—and even if you want to overthrow America and make it an imperial state, I'll follow it to the death—as long as you can make Ohio the new capital, because that's my homeland......"

Manami Mizuhara shook her head, turned around, and with a somewhat staggering gait, she left Fang Gos's crazy words behind her.

At the edge of the sea of cheers from the others, she stood in front of the only man who had not yet been untied by her, and this time, without any psychological burden or self-doubt, stood in front of him.

“…… See, even if you don't kill others, there is a way to achieve your goal. I don't know what will happen to others...... But I'm always fighting to help others. ”

Manami Mizuhara said calmly to Lieutenant Colonel Darcy as if he had confirmed himself.

There was determination in her eyes.

Lieutenant Colonel Darcy looked at her stunned.

However.

There is neither anger nor regret.

On the contrary, there was only a calm expression of indifference on his face.

"Manami, I do feel your determination.

“…… This power should be the motivation of mind, right? ”

Manami Mizuhara suddenly felt that this expression and tone were a little familiar.

Then, in the next second, she remembered whose face she had seen such an expression, who had heard such words say.

Thereupon.

Moment.

There was a great haze in my heart.

- That's the color of despair.

All doubts are solved.

The suspicions about the person "Lieutenant Colonel Darcy" have finally been clarified.

"Lieutenant Colonel Darcy" stood up from the ground.

Obviously he was tied, but his body was like fluid, "overflowing" from between the ropes.

When he came back to his senses, Manami Mizuhara realized that he didn't know when he had been surrounded by a terrible blood color all over his body.

Consciousness gradually became sluggish, and the body lost its strength.

"So it's you, senior sister......"

She asked sadly.

"It's always been me, Manami, from the beginning."

Mio Ito replied gently:

"Congratulations, Manami, you have lived up to my expectations.

“…… Now, just like your name, you have finally grown into the sweetest 'fruit'. ”

I found out that there are two more alliance leaders.,Thank you for the rewards of the alliance leaders of the two book friends of "The Masked Man Loses" and "Watglthhml", today I will add three chapters and 8,000 words to one alliance leader, and then find another day in this week to add three chapters to another alliance leader.
