"This is Deputy Commander Shibasaki Hitomi, please arrive at the operations conference room within ten minutes for an emergency meeting. This is Deputy Commander Shibasaki Hitomi, please arrive at the operations conference room within ten minutes for an emergency meeting. ”

Izumi was taken out of his lunch break by such a voice, and he stretched stiffly while lying on his desk, and when he shook his head to drink saliva, his braids hit Mendechel, who was getting out of bed at the same time. He also looked like he had just woken up, his curly hair looked even more messy, and he patted Izumi on the head. The paper ancestor Asuka was not there from the time Izumi Araba lay down just now, probably going to the training ground again to force Yanagida Keitaro to work overtime.

"Why didn't you go to bed, you got cold." Mendecchael asked as he looked for his proof on the table.

Izumi stood up: "After all, I'm worried about a similar situation." Speaking of which, Asuka hasn't come back yet, doesn't he rest at all? ”

"Probably so. He doesn't have the habit of taking a nap, he is violent, and he is still a while away from patrolling. ”

The two walked out of the dormitory while chatting. To be honest, Izumi Huangbo thought that these two weirdos (although Mendelchel would be a little weird when he only mentioned Mr. Wu) would be annoyed by his nervous breakdown, but in fact they got along surprisingly well: Paper Ancestor Asuka rarely appeared in the dormitory, was in the training ground or patrolling every day, and was unequivocal when playing Tongjingzi, but he had to put on a genius appearance; Mendecchel took great care of them as the biggest one, occasionally bringing out non-energy blocks of food out of nowhere to distribute to them, which was harmless but mostly tasted strange, and was said to be an experiment made by the base's food department in order to perfectly replicate some of the recipes that had disappeared in the Xenomorphous Cataclysm; And he behaved just like he did outside, so quiet that occasionally his roommates would think he didn't exist at all.

The two of them got on the elevator and headed towards the first floor. By the time she stepped into the conference room, she was already curled up in a small corner, and it looked like she had finished her confinement. Shino Yoshitaka hurriedly followed them into the conference room, and the last one was Asuka Paper. Although it is inevitable that the two rivals will stare at each other when they meet, this is an emergency meeting, and of course nothing more will be done. One by one, they found a good place to sit down, and there were many vacant chairs. After a while, Shibasaki Hitomi walked into the conference room, followed by several young men dressed in white, Izumi Araba was quite familiar with two of them, and was their operational commander. And there is one person who almost covers his whole body - not only masks, goggles, hoodies, but even gloves on his hands, looking stuffy and mysterious.

"Looks like everyone gathered quickly, that's good, so I'll get straight to the point. Some time ago, Mendechel-kun and Arami-kun were attacked by the co-crystal codenamed 'Giant'. As his thick voice sounded, the picture of the battle between Izumi and Mendechel appeared on the projection screen, and the picture stopped when the giant appeared to regenerate, "At this time, the giant had the behavior of 'regeneration', and at that time Mendechel Jun reported this abnormal phenomenon to me, and the War Department has been analyzing that video, and even went to investigate it according to the navigation, and in the end there is still no new discovery, but there is one thing that has caught our attention - Miss Tanaka, please." “

"Okay, I see." Tanaka - Yuka Tanaka stepped forward and clicked on the projection screen, and the screen naturally turned into a dazzling data table, with a line chart underneath, "Can you see it?" There is a difference in the isomorphic reaction index here, and we found a 'fourth' other than you and the giant when we sampled the residual isomorphs, so we couldn't tell if it was a new isomorph or a messenger, but when Mr. Izumi's battle record came out, we understood. ”

“…… But I didn't have a levitator at the time, please ......"

"That's a credit to the monitoring table." Yuka Tanaka interrupted him, "The monitoring table also has the function of monitoring. In short, we find the appearance of 'others' in Mr. Izumi's battle records. Please see here. The scene cuts to the scene of Izumi Araba fighting the two women, and pauses in one place, only to see a figure standing there in an extremely undetectable place—and then disappears.

"Is that ......?!" Shino Yoshika couldn't help but exclaim.

Yuka Tanaka nodded: "Yes, we discovered the existence of a third party. In addition to Mr. Izumi, the second woman, there are also people who interfere in this battle. At the same time, we collected the same 'fourth' isomorph as last time at the post-war location, so we can basically conclude that it is possible that the counter-emissary is planning a rebellion. “

"Anti-emissary?" Izumi Araba frowned.

"It's just that there is no fixed organization with the base, or with the entire Canaanite hostile envoys, but we generally call them that." Paper Zu Asuka folded his hands behind his head, "Usually I am preaching those things that oppose the base, and even engage in sabotage and attack, if you catch it, you will be locked up, and if it is serious, you will be killed directly." ”

Zhuang Sihong's eyes wandered for a moment. Izumi suddenly thought of the child who claimed to be the King of the Dead Land.

Ji Gao Shinai Wu held his cheek with one hand: "But the possibility of overseas personnel cannot be ruled out, maybe there are also things that Izumi encountered before, such as that kind of child running out and the like." ”

"So we will also pay more attention and investigate on our side, but the matter of the anti-envoy should not be underestimated, or we cannot let go of every possibility. Miss Tanaka, you go down first. Shibasaki replied, "That's why I need you to assist the Investigation Department in investigating the incident while on patrol." Ms. Ishida and Mr. Fumitsuki, please stand. ”

The tightly wrapped man and a woman with short curly hair stood up and bowed to them.

"This is Fumitsuki Otani, the head of the Investigation Department, and then that is Nanase Ishida, the deputy minister. The two of them will be in contact with you more in the future, and we ask for your cooperation in the investigation. ”

"Well, Mr. Hitomi, can I say a few words?" Fumitsuki Otani's clear voice came through the mask.

Shibasaki Hitomi nodded: "Please speak." ”

"Personally, I think it's very likely that this is related to the 'Eternal Life Society' that we have been investigating recently, and maybe some of them have retired personnel from the base who have mastered the way to make heterocrystalline amplification...... And the possibility that that person is Mr. Aoi is not ruled out. Fumitsuki Otani stepped forward and patted the wall, and a white inverted triangle with a regular hexagon slowly emerged on the wall, surrounded by an Ouroboros, "It's an underground religious organization that is said to be operating in the outer city, and we are now tracking it down, most likely revenge, or warning, for us after it was discovered." This is its hallmark. The Eternal Life Society believes in the Isomorphism as a gift from the God who rules the world, and that being transformed by the Isocrystalline is the salvation of all mankind, and that you messengers are 'traitors'. ”

"God...... Traitor ......" Shino Yoshitaka muttered to herself.

Paper Ancestor Asuka disagreed: "No matter what it is, as long as it is defeated, it's fine." Don't limit yourself to the Eternal Life Conference, what if it's some other anti-messenger? ”

"Yes, so I'm just providing a little bit of an investigative idea, and you can start from this if you want to start with that." Fumitsuki Otani bowed again, "Then that's the end of my speech." ”

"Alas, I finally solved one thing and another thing came out, this time I even had to join the investigation department, and the people above were really messing around." Paper Zu Flying Bird muttered and opened the bracelet terminal connected to the monitoring table and released the mistletoe, "It's really troublesome, come to the mistletoe and play a song." ”

"No loud noises in the hallway!!" The mistletoe pounced on the face of the paper ancestor bird, and of course it pounced in the air. Ji Gao Shino Dance just wanted to stop it, and couldn't help laughing when he saw such a picture; Izumi Huangbo looked at Mendevil a little helplessly, and Yuguang caught a glimpse of Zhuang Sihong, who was some distance away from them, and didn't say anything, just moved her finger that she should have seen to point in her direction.

Mendecchel shook his head: "It can't be helped, after all, this is also the duty of the envoy." But Mr. Arami, you really didn't feel anything before, there was someone nearby or something? ”

"When I was looking for Cattail, I found that there were two people in the shape of an isomorph next to him, I don't know if it was. Of course, I thought it was the same crystal at the time, so I was extra vigilant, and then the two women did appear, and I can't rule it out. Izumi Arabo lowered his head and thought, "However, looking at it this way, Cattail's thoughts are similar to those of many anti-messengers, and such a young child will never ......."

"Who knows what a child says? It may be that they are being used, or it may be that they are originally this kind of character, they can't be underestimated! Yoshitaka Shinomai spread her hands and smiled, "No matter what, Cattail's side still has to be confirmed, and the witness evidence in other places and the reconfirmation of the location of the crime must be carried out, and there may be some clues that have fallen." Anyway, I'm going to go to the Messenger Training Center with Izumi. ”

"Huh? Why you, don't make claims! The paper ancestor bird looked up sharply.

“…… If I'm not mistaken, I'm the captain. Mendevilel wanted to cry without tears.

Izumi Huangbo was silent for a moment: "Actually, it's no problem for any of you to come, and you have to go on patrol with flying birds, right?" ”

“……”

The paper ancestor Asuka quickly showed an expression of "even if that's the case, you can't make a claim", and Mendechel smiled and patted his head: "Okay, okay, although I understand that you want to fight side by side with Mr. Araga, but you can't lose your job." ”

"I didn't want to throw it away! But every time the woman talks about it, it's really troublesome, and it's not her who has the final say. Paper Zu Asuka complained.

"In that case, Shoji and Mr. Mendechel, right? Help us see if there are any clues other than Cattail's side, and of course it would be nice to have information about the Eternal Life Society. May I? Quan Huangbo suddenly turned back to Zhuang Sihong and asked. Being stared at by so many people in him, Zhuang Sihong reflexively took two steps back, didn't know what to say, and the fingers of his hands were mixed together for a long time before he looked away and nodded, and walked behind Mendevilel at the same time.

Mendevilel smiled: "Then, division of labor and cooperation, let's go now." ”
