Chapter 36: The Grey Squirrel
"Project Squirrel...... Mr. Wen Yue, Paper Zujun, how much do you know about this? Shibasaki Hitomi pondered over their video and asked the question for a long time.
"We're sorry, but we don't know much...... Because the two of us were in the same responsible group, we didn't know anything about anyone else's plans. Otani Fumitsuki took the first step to speak, revealing a bit of distress in his tone, "The core of this plan is to invade Canaan, but we don't know what to do after the invasion, we are responsible for the internal part, that is, in the case of the destruction of external security, we will take care of the people on the inner floor, and wait for the action of the next group." So...... Miss Yoshitaka, what is your decision? Do you plan to secure security to prevent them from intruding at the root, or do you wait for them to break in and then wipe them out? ”
“…… Their strength is still unknown, after all, there is the person who can block the anti-envoy weapon with his bare hands, and the mechanization of that person's body, if they enter without permission, it may further increase the loss, at this time it is better to be safe, if they can consume their physical strength externally and capture them, it will be the best. Yoyoko Yoshiko's short hair drooped slightly, casting a small shadow in the projection, "But before jumping to conclusions, I want to ask." What is the result of your discussion of the machine? ”
"Here." Mariko put down a few documents and used the monitoring table to project the contents to the ceiling, "Although we have not been able to restore the original appearance of these machines, according to the form of the formation method of common equipment and daily necessities compiled by the first generation of third-level administrator Fushizui Ganxin in the fifth year of the new calendar, as well as Mr. Otani's paper "Experimental Comparison and Conclusion on Materials and Isocrystallization Itself", it can be judged that the materials of these machines are relatively slow to isomorphize. It can also be seen from the information of Mr. Mendechel's levitator that although the machines have a tendency to isomorphize after being released, they are relatively slow, and they have caused considerable damage to Mr. Mendechel in a short period of time, so that he is unable to release the isomorphism. ”
"At the same time, we also noticed one thing about the model of the machine: why can it hide in the belly of a human? After investigating the equipment, we concluded that it was a household cleaning machine from the inner city Melde Company, but that it had undergone a certain amount of modification that resulted in it having both volume compression and slaughter capabilities. We obtained permission from the Melder Company to investigate their listings, but to no avail. There are two possibilities for this: one is that there are people in the Medel Corporation, and the other is ...... Their rights were far greater than Medel's, and they covered up the purchase with their hands, but even so, the serial number of the cleaning machine was still problematic, and the serial number T-9507 was not on the sale list, and of course this serial number—" Ishida Nanase pointed to the remains of the equipment that had been kept in the nucleus, "here." ”
“…… I understand. Yoshitaka Daiko frowned, a little unhappiness faintly leaking from between her brows, "All in all, please pay more attention to the information of Medel Corporation, and use special means if necessary." But since they can use such methods, we can also use corresponding, mechanical methods to subdue them. As for Makino's side...... You can only pay attention to him, and once you find him appearing, you must throw all your armed forces on him, so that he will lose the combat advantage as much as possible. ”
Shino Yoshitaka sighed and raised her hand: "In other words, we will also be mixed in the security of the first floor to deal with those guys that day?" ”
"That's it, but not only on the first floor, in order to prevent them from using other means, the other layers also have to turn on the security mode, controlled by the mistletoe agent, and let some troops go to the corresponding layer at any time in case of accidents. I'll number it after that. "The head of the war department, Hirosho Usaki, changed the screen projection to the combat map again," ...... As for Mr. Paper's words, since you are a member of the Eternal Life Society, you cannot join our program in order not to arouse their suspicion. ”
“…… Yes, I see. Paper Ancestor Asuka nodded.
"Then disbanded for the time being, I think everyone needs to rest well to deal with tomorrow's big battle. It's a somewhat risky battle...... As for whether you can succeed or not, it's up to you! Hiroshi Usaki looked around the entire battle room with a serious expression, and finally bowed vigorously with a frown.
Izumi put on his security-only clothes, his wide brim completely obscuring his cheeks and the goggles that would have covered his eyes in the past, only the blue eyes glowed slightly. It's been a few months since he became an emissary, and it's the first time he's encountered such a thing, and his body still can't help but tremble slightly, and both Jigao Shino Dance and Mendechel seem much calmer than him, especially since the former has been bouncing briskly in place since just now, if it weren't for the fact that as security guards they have to guard this place well, maybe she would have started to read her newly bought e-book. Zhuang Sihong was even more nervous than him, he could see that her body was shaking unnaturally, biting her lip tightly and not turning her head away, even breathing was unusually slight.
A gust of wind struck suddenly—it was indeed cool tonight, after all, it was almost summer according to the weather set by the shield, and he often felt anxious because of the May illness mentioned in the book, or bitter summer, but he could only barely suppress his inner thoughts. Too many things that had happened these days were lingering in his mind, Makino, the Immortal Society, the Paper Ancestor Asuka, Otani Fumitsuki, and everyone had all turned into a pulp, as if they had all been isomorphized and then turned into that terrifying polygon. However, before he could sigh for long, he noticed something—something tiny in the gust of wind, like a tiny arrow, that pierced his cheek with a tingling pain. He didn't say much, but glanced at Ji Gao Shinawu, and suddenly spoke: "It's okay here for the time being, you can get off work today." ”
"I see, let's go back then." Shinomai Yoshitaka smiled in response, but none of them went back, instead allowing the overwhelming purple to suddenly envelop a large area, including the doorway. First of all, it was pitch black, and then there was a faint flash of light, illuminating the people in front of him thoroughly. Shinomai Yoshitaka looked at her monitor, where she had shrouded all the changes in the isomorphic reaction index, so that the battle would not endanger the rest of the world. Immediately after that, countless orange butterflies lit up faintly at some point, and they rushed towards several places with premeditated wings, and their sharp wings scratched the cheeks of the believers who were lying in ambush here, only minor scars, but they also went deep into the bone marrow when stacked.
"It's ...... Those messengers! Oops, they already know ......!! ”
"No, this is Makino-sama's plan, and we can't give up anyway! This is for the future of all mankind!! ”
The believers were unable to dodge and be hit by the butterflies, but their fighting spirit became more and more aroused, and they rushed at them with their weapons. Mendevilel took off his hat and sighed, his other hand twisting the bone whip in front of them, and then slammed them out again with a powerful swing. The brushes in the hands of Ji Gao Shino Dance did not stop, and at the moment of waving, countless oil paints poured out and attacked their heads and necks. “…… There's nothing you can do if you're discovered. Izumi shrugged helplessly, threw away his hat and put on his goggles, and at the moment when the lens screen showed their isomorphic parts, the chains rose up and tied the believers to the ground and slammed them to the ground, and then slowly refined, turning into a single one wrapped around one of the people's ankles, pulling him hard.
"How many people are still in ambush over here?" He lowered his head, the soles of his shoes resting on his back.
“…… Even if I say it, it won't change anything. He chuckled.
"He won't say it, Mr. Mendevilell." Izumi kept that motion, and by the way, the moment the believer summoned the pistol to his ankle, he first snatched the gun away from the chain that was lying in ambush underground, and then smashed it fiercely, "What should I do?" …… I always feel that there are a lot of people over here, and maybe not just on the first floor. ”
"But at least they didn't alert us, so don't-"
Before Mendecel could finish speaking, the alarm red light of the monitoring watch suddenly lit up, and then Izumi's shoulder strap also lit up. “…… The third floor has been attacked, but there is more security over there, so there shouldn't be a big problem. Quan Huangbo frowned in a low voice, "You guys guard outside first, Ji Gao, open the way for me." ”
"Roger!"
The position behind the door opened, and Izumi took the opportunity to run in. Seeing this, the believers also tried to rush forward, but they were entangled in Mendechel and pulled back, but the door was not closed, and the eyes of Yoshitaka Shinomai met Zhuang Sihong's.
"Xiaohong, you go to support Quan, maybe he will be in danger...... By the way, if you can, be sure to check out the situation on the first floor. Even though it's heavily guarded, I'm still worried that something will happen. In terms of combat power, you are much stronger than those retired emissaries. ”
At the moment when he heard this, Zhuang Sihong's whole person was agitated, his eyes were wandering around, but after all, he couldn't beat the time that passed quickly, he frowned and gritted his teeth, turned his head and ran into the facility. In the next second, the backs of the fallen believers in front of them bulged, and something like a device pierced through their flesh and raised the blade.
“…… Sure enough, it appeared, Miss Shino Mai ......! Mendevilel smiled bitterly, but he quickly threw the nearest corpse into the distance.
Shino Yoshitaka sank her face, and the oil paint gradually solidified under her feet: "Well, I will protect you." ”
Izumi took the elevator and hurriedly went up to the third floor. What made him a little glad was that he didn't need to confront Asuka the Paper Ancestor who was pretending to be Ayumu Takeno, otherwise he would definitely not be able to pretend to be flawless. The main equipment on the third floor was enclosed in a small protective shield, so that the worshippers could not get a step closer to them. Security is taking care of the outsiders, who don't know when they set up an ambush and only started their attack today. At this time, the battle situation is not to be underestimated, and the strength of the believers is far greater than the security. Quan Huangbo didn't dare to slack off, let alone calm down and think about the decoration of the floor, and the chains rushed straight to coerce the believers to throw out.
"Mr. Izumi!" Hinomi Mariko exclaimed, "It's just in time...... Thank you! ”
"Within duty." Izumi stood still, the chains pulled out from his fingertips to protect the wounded, and when he was about to fight further, a familiar figure suddenly jumped into his eyes - no, the reason why I say familiar is because the red robe is completely different from everyone else......
“…… Long time no see, little master. ”。
……
…… Makino.
