People are forbidden by magic, just become mercenaries

"But...but..."

After experiencing what happened just now, Shirai Kuroko seemed to think that what Sigurd said was reasonable, but this idea obviously refuted her own idea.

"But?"

"But I think that as 'law enforcers', we should not only protect the victims, but also include the perpetrators."

"In other words, you want to protect a murderer?"

"kill......"

Shirai Kuroko was stunned.

Sigurd's eyes did not change, and there was no reproach in his tone.

But under this question, Shirai Kuroko extracted quite complicated information.

"Some things must be kept secret even from the 'Disciplinary Committee'. You should understand?"

"Um......"

Shirai Heizi didn't speak, but simply nodded.

Sigurd's words are actually very clear.

[Fifteen people were injured, three of them seriously]

Some of the content made public in this way is not true, so the result is self-evident.

Seeing Kuroko Shirai in a somewhat depressed mood, although Sigurd didn't think he and her could be called "destined relationship", he still mentioned it before leaving.

"The test of this matter is the judgment ability of the 'enforcer'. I can't simply define your approach as 'wrong' or 'right'. In the case of no retreat, if you break an arm, he can keep it life, so why not do it?"

"I understand......"

Shirai Kuroko still didn't understand, or he didn't fully understand.

But it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter whether Shirai Kuroko understands Sigurd or not.

If even junior high school girls are forced to make such difficult choices, then there must be something wrong with them, the "middlemen".

Without saying anything more, Sigurd turned around and thought about moving to the Tenth School District.

During the conversation with Heizi just now, the news from the Puritan sect has also been conveyed.

【Oh ha~ This is Lola Sauce, specially here to provide intelligence support to the hard-working mercenary~】

"Tell me something useful, like my reasons for not smashing her head?"

【Well, it's still the same.However, we are only speculating on this point. 】

The supreme bishop of his Puritan sect who is in charge of communicating with Sigurd, Laura Stuart.

That unscrupulous supreme bishop is probably in a hurry now, right?

After all, this incident was also caused by her magician.

"It's impossible for an idiot to attack Academy City simply because life is unsatisfactory, right? Besides, that guy is a magician who has a direct connection with Academy City, right?"

【indeed.Shirley Cromwell.The magic name is 'intimus115 (Dedicate my everything to a deceased friend)', and this 'dead friend'...]

"It was the exchange student 'Alice' from Academy City in that incident 20 years ago."

Laura's tone was not so frivolous, and she somewhat looked like the supreme bishop.

[Shirley's professional field is to seal or interpret this knowledge by means of cipher technology.If she falls into the hands of other forces, it will be clear to the other party that it represents the complex code interpretation techniques that the Puritan Church in England has guarded for a long time. 】

"And if the forces of Academy City knock Shirley down at will, it will cause a crack in the relationship between the British Puritans and Academy City. If the purpose of sending Shirley to Academy City is for this, then they will definitely take the opportunity to send Turtle Crack wide."

【That's it.So in this matter, those who can make a move without causing tension in the relationship basically have no choice. 】

"In this incident, as long as you don't make too stupid a decision, the flames shouldn't spread. But in order to extinguish this flame, someone must die under the water. Now that fool has caused Academy City to at least The three 'guards' died, so you should think about what to do next."

[Indeed, regarding the issue of appeasement to Academy City, the Queen is also urgently discussing it. 】

The discussion was about compensation and explanations for Academy City "afterwards", not about Shirley Cromwell running around in Academy City now.

In fact, this is of course, after all, Sigurd has obviously intervened now, so Shirley Cromwell, an intelligence officer who cannot be called a "battle magician" in the orthodox sense, is definitely not the same even if multiplied by ten. Sigurd's opponent.

【Then, I will leave the rest to you......】

"I will do what I have to do. In contrast, I will only do what I want to do."

Mumbling to himself, I don't know if he was speaking to Laura, or to someone who was using nanomachines to spy on this side.

Sigurd stood on the building. From this position, he could already see the huge stone man with a height of more than ten meters rampaging near the incinerator in the tenth school district, near the abandoned unfinished building.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The Tenth School District is famous for having the cheapest land price and the worst public security in Academy City.

Because the land here is cheap, it is full of various facilities that "other school districts stay away from". It is a school district full of nuclear energy, bacteria-related research facilities, and experimental animal incineration sites.

Academy City's only cemetery and juvenile correctional school are located in this school district.

The law and order is extremely bad, and even couriers and disciplinary committee members may bypass this school district.

Except for the facilities that are in operation, this place is a veritable ruin, and the dilapidated streets cannot be connected with this scientific capital that is "two or 30 years ahead of the outside world".

In terms of location, it should be in a small alleyway, surrounded by many low-rise commercial sublet buildings.

But these buildings seem to be facing the fate of being demolished, the signboards have long been removed, and the glass windows are gone.

There is not even a door for the entrance and exit, only a large empty hole.

Looking into the hole, the interior decoration has been completely removed, and exposed concrete columns can be seen.

Judging from the situation of ash falling here and the degree of abandonment, I am afraid this is not a recent thing.

It seems that the former land owner here may have planned to knock down all the nearby buildings, and build some kind of large-scale facility in the original place, right?

But it seems that because of some things later, it has been delayed until now and can't start.

However, after today, I'm afraid I don't want to start work...

On the battlefield filled with gunshots and gunpowder smoke, a magician named Shirley Cromwell walked gracefully.

A stone statue stood in front of her like a huge shield.

The stone statue is shaped like clay after randomly mixing tiles, metal frames, and pillars from the surrounding abandoned buildings, and is nearly ten meters high.

She waved a white oil crayon in the air.The lines drawn by the gesture turned into command words, instructing the huge stone statue to move forward.

There was a group of armed men in silver-gray armor in front of Shirley, but they were not ordinary "guards", but belonged to the "Silver Cross" under Sigurd's name.

These people poked their heads out from the ruins of the buildings on the left and right, and kept shooting at the stone statue.

In order not to create a gap for changing the magazine, three people are formed into a group. When one group is changing the magazine, the other group will shoot, similar to Oda Nobunaga's musketeer three-stage shooting.

But strictly speaking, this approach should be said to be the three-step attack of Ming Dynasty general Mu Ying.

Even the high-breathing ammunition used was useless. Hundreds of bullets hit Alice's body, but they couldn't cause fatal damage.

Although Alice's hands and feet were pitted by bullets, they could absorb the concrete on the nearby walls and the surrounding abandoned building materials to her body like a magnet, automatically repairing the damaged parts.

"Sixth, Ninth, and Eleven Squads retreated. The fire cover team began to suppress fire."

Next-generation weapons have started a new round of bombing.

Different from the large-caliber rifle ammunition just now, this time the driven armor was directly used to bomb with semi-automatic grenades at a long distance.

The obvious increase in power caused Alice's movements to start to deform. Relying on the auxiliary aiming of the driven armor and the firepower of the burst grenade in her hand, Alice now had to kneel down and move slowly sideways to resist.

"Tsk. These are the real 'guards' of Academy City, aren't they? These equipment are completely different from the idiots who watch the gate..."

Shirley Cromwell, who was behind the stone giant "Alice", also felt the pressure.

Originally, it was true that after breaking through the "gate" of Academy City without feeling the pressure at all, she always thought that the scientific guards of Academy City were only at this level.

But looking at it now, she still underestimates Academy City.

Leaning her back behind Alice, Shirley had to hide herself as much as possible to ensure that she would not be injured by stray bullets.

Academy City also seemed to be conscious of not using mass-destructive ammunition. Although each round was very powerful, it would not affect more buildings and terrain than the target.

"It has always been declared that Academy City does not have an army, but these guys have nothing to do with the 'police' before..."

The action coordination is as tight as a machine, without any mistakes or rash advances.

Shirley couldn't find any chance to tear apart the opponent's encirclement net, so she could only be pressed in place like this and rely on Alice to move slowly.

The surrounding buildings are not too high, so Shirley doesn't have to worry about being attacked by the opponent from above relying on the height difference for the time being.

However, the opponent's rapid movement and formation change in the abandoned building also made it difficult for Shirley to cope.

It feels like the other party is very good at dealing with magicians, and even knows the strengths and weaknesses of Shirley Cromwell's magic, and is deliberately avoiding unfavorable situations.

"Damn it, if you find the 'Category of Prohibited Books' quickly, then that mercenary will come over later..."

Impatiently waving his wrist, the oil crayon tore through the air like a knife.

The stone statue responded, keeping its arms folded to protect its back, the stone giant Alice stepped on the ground forcefully.

The strong vibration made the "Silver Cross" team members in the building have to work hard to keep their balance, and at the same time forced them to continue to move under this situation.

I don't know what technique was used, but Shirley, who was obviously closer to the stone giant, still stood on an even footing, as if isolated from the picture, only she could not feel the impact of the shaking at all.

The surrounding buildings began to scream. It was originally an abandoned building that had been in disrepair for a long time. After Alice continued to absorb the concrete in order to restore her body, and even broke out with her body weight, the vibration was comparable to that of an earthquake. The building lost its load. What happens is self-explanatory.

"Tsk. Is this guy an ability user from the outside world? What are you doing, this kind of ability in Academy City has already surpassed the ability user?"

Relying on the ropes prepared in advance to quickly drop out of the building, as the captain of the "Silver Cross" team, the man code-named "Alpha" wiped the dust on the mask with his palm in displeasure.

[Captain, the drive armor troop has withdrawn from the standby point.Now how to do?Going forward, we will arrive at the "Juvenile Correctional Institute". 】

Looking back at the high wall that can already be seen in the distance, it is the only prison in Academy City for those with riot abilities.

(Is that guy's goal to release a certain ability user from the "Youth Correctional Institute", or is he planning to use those runaway ability users to cause riots, causing Academy City to fall into chaos?)

"Alpha" is not clear, but the task they received was to delay the opponent's progress as much as possible, not something like "killing" or "eliminating".

"Director, is this okay? Those 'guards' seem to be unable to stop them?"
