Chapter 4: Triangles and Corners

There was really no way, so the two had to follow the movements of the paper ancestor bird into the combat conference room. A large table with an operator panel in the center sits in the center, and the four walls are in an arc without edges and corners, and there are huge displays including the ceiling. Paper ancestor Asuka sat in the corner of the table, and the old god was debugging the operation panel on the ground. β€œβ€¦β€¦ I'll take a look, mode settings - how come there's a casual mode, I said, do you want to have a UNO? ”

"I'm not free right now, and the conference room wasn't designed for this......" Shinomai Yoshitaka glanced at him with disgust, turned to Izumi and explained, "Well, as you can see, there is no use here now, but if there is a homomorph with a danger level higher than level three, then this place will be activated, and all the messengers and the operational commander in charge of the day will have to gather here." ”

"Danger level ......?" Izumi pressed the button on the temple, scanned them one by one with the crimson lines reflected on the mirror, and saved them in the database.

"Ah, that's a division of the danger of the isomorphic! Level 1 is an entity that has not yet formed, Level 2 is an entity but is less aggressive, and Level 3 is a certain amount of aggression - I don't need to talk about it after that, right? The highest level is level six, and we haven't encountered it much yet! ”

"The last time I needed to gather all the people, it was only level five, it was the one codenamed 'killer whale', it was not difficult to deal with, but the size was too large, and I was almost exhausted to death when ......I was fighting to death," Paper Zu Asuka's lazy voice came.

Yoshitaka Shinomai nodded, grabbed the left calf of the paper ancestor Asuka and pulled him off the table: "And that time it caused Zhuangji to be hospitalized, and he was just discharged from the hospital recently, right?" ”

"I'd say that guy is unlucky, but if she's not there, we'd be even worse - hey!! Jigao! Do?! I'm going to fall to my death!! The paper ancestor flew the bird's center of gravity unstable and almost sat on the ground, but fortunately before falling, he grabbed the arc-shaped corner of the conference table, and then straightened up, and mixed his mouth with Ji Gao Shinamai without saying a word.

"It's not because you're always unruly! Even if you die, you deserve it! ”

"There's no rule in the conference room that you can't sit at a table, so you can sit wherever I want!"

"Even if that's the case, you can't just move the operating system!"

Izumi Huangbo stared at them speechlessly, until the two of them finally noticed that the somewhat strange gaze here stopped stiffly before he spoke: "You are talking about Shoji...... Is that Zhuang Sihong? What kind of person is he? ”

Paper Zu Asuka and Yoshitaka Shino Mai glanced at each other, and in the end, it was the latter who spoke first: "To be honest, I don't know, because she doesn't interact with us much and often stays alone." On the second floor, you might be able to try your luck, right? …… Well...... Every time I want to talk to her, she either just says a few words, or she is afraid to run away, and she is quite afraid of the paper ancestor, and sure enough, evil will be rewarded. ”

"What? It's just because Shoji is too timid! Are we going to stay here? Paper Zu Asuka retorted disdainfully.

"Who is it that is delaying time-"

"Who's wasting time talking to me!"

…… Izumi Arabo, who turned up the map and decided to go down on his own, made up his mind: don't pull the two of them together after this time, say anything.

On the first floor, there may seem to be only an endless number of empty offices and receptions, but if you turn off the holographic projection and look closely, you will see that many departments, in addition to the Secret Department, are being set up here. Out of the idea of not disturbing his work, he just pressed the button on the back of the door to see which department was where: the monitoring department responsible for monitoring the movement of the metamorphism and the reaction index of the metamorphosis, the investigation department that investigates the events related to the metamorphosis, the records department that records the events that occurred before and after the new calendar and summarizes the files, the recruitment department that evaluates the qualifications of the envoys and is responsible for the follow-up arrangements, and the communication department that communicates with the inner city and other countries Canaan, etc. At least there's not much to remember right now.

However, in Yoshitaka Shinomai asked, "Take the elevator or take the stairs?" He still hesitated, and in the expression of the paper ancestor Asuka couldn't help laughing, he calmly looked for Ji Gao Shinomai from an angle that was probably invisible, and pinched the waist of the person in the know, and proposed to take the stairs, after all, if you have to look at it layer by layer, the efficiency of taking the elevator is too poor, and besides, I was going to go to the top floor to pick up Mendechel. At the end of the staircase, however, a large, thick mechanical door blocked the way. Izumi was about to ask something when he was pulled away by the paper ancestor Asuka and pulled out a certificate from his pocket and put it in the swipe area on the door. The top of the door glowed red, then slowly opened, revealing the white floor inside.

"This is certification! But you haven't proven it yet, have you? So I asked Mr. Yanagida to import the information of both of us into my card in advance, but only for today, and I will delete it tomorrow. Paper Ancestor Asuka proudly shook the blue certificate card in his hand, and walked into the door one by one with a look of wanting to speak and stopping, "Come in quickly, or you will have to brush it again." ”

Shino Yoshitaka followed Izumi and stepped into the door of the second floor: "Don't do this next time, the technicians will have a headache......

"But they're going to come up with a similar approach, right? And after a while, Mr. Mendevilel may be able to provide the card, which is not a big problem. Okay, look here, this is the second floor! The theme is 'Living', and we'll be back here for lunch in a moment. The paper ancestor Asuka grimaced, straightened his waist and posed as a tour guide before the new calendar, and even conjured a peaked cap with a different crystal and buckled it on his head, and the mistletoe was lying on his shoulder again at some point, with a small map in his mouth.

"So the cafeteria is here?" Izumi Abara interrupted mercilessly.

"Oh yes, there are also libraries, counseling rooms, and other places, and teachers come here every week, so if you want to study, you can go to the study room." Ji Gao Shinai Wu took over the conversation and added lightly.

Paper Zu Asuka put his hat on Izumi Akibo's head: "Hehe, and there's a game room, although I basically won't come." ”

"Nashoji ......"

"She's usually in the library, going this way."

Mistletoe spat out the map with a pop, and a whole gradually enlarged floor plan almost slapped on Izumi's face. These places are generally close to each other, and probably because of the theme on the second floor, you can see many ordinary employees in uniform greeting them warmly, doing their own business, or interacting with each other, which is much more lively than the quiet atmosphere on the first floor, where there are only a few of them. Shino Yoshitaka took two people to the front of the library and was chatting with the young people at the front desk.

"Miss Shoji...... Well, I don't know, she hasn't been here today. The young man looked around and looked into the depths of the bookshelf, where nothing could respond to him; He shook his head and gestured to the black watch he was wearing, "I'll contact you if I see it." By the way, this is the new messenger, right? ”

Quan Huangbo raised his hand to greet: "Just call me Quan." Please advise. ”

"Oh, is that Izumi-sama's son?! I knew you were coming. I'm Asahi Takemoto, so I can come here to read a book and relax, and I basically have any books. The young man who called himself Asahi Takemoto bowed slightly to him, "Are you visiting?" ”

"Yes, I'm going to pick up Mr. Mendechel in a moment, and then I'm going to lunch."

"That's itβ€”I don't think I can read a book today, and I wanted to get some drinks from the cafeteria...... Ahem, that means you're going to the fourth floor, right? ”

"What about the third floor?"

"The third floor is the experimental floor." Paper Ancestor Asuka interjected, "Generally, except for the emissary qualification test, it will not be open to others, even if you use our card. There will be a lot of experiments related to the human constitution of the isomorphic crystal, so you can't let unrelated people in and out, otherwise it will cause a commotion. And the researchers and subjects there are either former emissaries or big shots above, which is honestly super dangerous! ”

"Especially after that accident...... "Shino Yoshitaka pouted.

When the isomorphism was stimulated, the familiar image once again rushed into Izumi Arabo's brain. Why is the crisis self-evident, and the screams and pain of others at that time have also been witnessed with their own eyes, but what is the sound of urging them to flee at close ......? Just thinking about it makes my brain hurt, but now is not the time to think about it. He took a few deep breaths to expel the image from his mind: "In that case, let's go straight to the fourth floor, right?" ”

"Okay, Arabami-kun VS elevator battle, unfold!"

"So that won't happen again!!"

When you open the mechanical door and walk in, you will see a corridor and countless doors, the material of the floor is the same as that of the downstairs, but it has been replaced with a wooden plank, and the lighting is much dimer, which looks very reassuring. "This is our dormitory...... Everyone's to be exact, except for a few employees, everyone basically lives here, and of course we do. Yoshitaka Shinomai put her hand on the wall and swept over the projection of the replica of "The Young Woman with the Jug" between the doors, and suddenly a little more smile on her face, "In other words, Izumi is going to live with the paper ancestor next!" The only person who can stay normal with this kind of man is probably Mr. Mendechel, although he is not a ......."

"Eh, why do you say that, of course Araga-kun and I will love each other!! Right, Arami-kun? I'll take you to our dorm room! Paper Ancestor Asuka crossed his hands on his hips in displeasure, but after a while, he reached out to Izumi and took his wrist and walked deeper into the corridor. Yoshitaka Shino Mai muttered, "That's why I ...... because of this," while pacing slowly, completely ignoring the screams of Izumi Araha, who was caught off guard and dragged hard. In front of the door with 42 written on it, Asuka opened the door with a certificate card, and four beds appeared in front of him. The room is equipped with a bathroom with a shower, and it is not decorated in any way, so it looks like a stereotypical boys' dormitory. Paper Zu Asuka jumped in front of the one that was a little messy, with headphones and spinning pens, and patted the table: "Look, this is mine!" Then the opposite one (Izumi Arabo looked in the direction, there were very few things on the table, only a few books and a pot of meat) was Mr. Mendevil's, I'll help you clean up the empty bed here in the afternoon, which side do you want to sleep on? ”

"Either way." Izumi Huangbo approached the bed near the paper ancestor Asuka and looked at it, the length and height were probably reassuring, as for the supplies, someone would probably send them in a while, so there was only a bed board here for the time being. Ji Gao Shino Dance walked in with steps, and with shining eyes, he grabbed the pen of the paper ancestor flying bird: "Hmm! This is the new one! I didn't think you would collect spinning pens! Come play one now and show me! ”

"Wait, put it down!! Where's this where you can casually touch it - by the way, you just came in?! ”

"Can't you? Isn't there anything I shouldn't know......"

"Absolutely not!"

"Haha! After all, you're just an adolescent child, so it's fine......"

"Okay, okay, you are both teenagers, so there's no need to argue like this." Izumi Huangbo took a step forward and separated the two people in time, and by the way, he deftly took out the pen from between the fingers of Ji Gao Shinowu and put it back on the paper ancestor Asuka table, "The fifth floor is a secret layer if I remember correctly, there are many secrets, and they can't be leaked...... Wouldn't that be ......?"

"Coo-coo!! Paper Ancestor Flying Birds! There's a video text message! ”

The mistletoe suddenly flew to Izumi's head with a black box in his mouth. Paper Zu Asuka stretched out his hand, and the box landed two centimeters away from his palm, and then unfolded a projection that was not much different from the boxβ€”it was a young man with an obvious foreign appearance, with a dark complexion, short curly hair, and slightly squinted eyes, giving people an inexplicable sense of intimacy; Around his neck was a golden vine-like heteromorphous pattern.

"Mr. Asuka, I'm almost there, I hope you don't miss your appointment this time, and fulfill your promise to come to see me." He said in a cheerful tone, "By the way, remember to bring Mr. New Man here, I need to get to know him." ”
