The Infinite World of Weapon Girls

A silent world, a black and white world, a world where I can't feel my own existence.

I can't hear anything anymore, at least not right now.

……

"Black Wind, let's go!"

We haven't entered the city yet; this area is still the outer perimeter.

Tina carefully picked up the dear girl in her arms and gently placed her on the grass.

"Tina...you...can't stop me now."

As soon as he finished speaking, the owl wiped away his tears and quickly left with Hades.

【Ta94 The Fate of the Owl (Part Two)】

Everything happened too suddenly. From Tina sacrificing herself to save the owl to her suddenly collapsing from exhaustion, it only took a few seconds.

It wasn't until Tina laid the girl down and disappeared into the darkness at lightning speed that Xia Shi finally realized what had happened.

"Tina...Tina!!!"

From Xia Shi's perspective, Tina was not injured, but inexplicably fainted.

...Not to mention the dim lighting, given Xia Shi and J's position, they couldn't possibly have noticed Tina's hand wrapped around the back of the girl's neck.

Xia Shi rushed to the girl's side and suddenly noticed that on the back of her neck, a miniature syringe still had half of the liquid left.

"This, this is..."

Xia Shi hurriedly and carefully took it off, holding it in his palm with a surprised expression.

"As expected... it must have been the owl!"

Her voice was angry, yet choked with sobs. Recalling Tina's emotional outburst in the car, Xia Shiming understood perfectly well, but still couldn't help sobbing: "Why... did it turn out like this..."

J rushed to the girl's side in a panic. With Tina's fate unknown, he had no interest in chasing after Hades and Tina.

However, as a reincarnator, he was able to see the attributes of the thing in Xia Shi's palm.

[Death Viper Virus (A+)]

[Description: The most virulent program virus in the Black Bullet world, capable of destroying anything computer-related, and even transforming into liquid form.]

"It seems that guy is definitely in cahoots with Tina Sprantt... Damn it (crossed out), how could they be so despicable!!"

Although J was standing by at the time, she was helpless, because no one would have thought that it would be Tina who attacked her.

"Tina, how are you?"

The girl lying on the grass showed no reaction whatsoever, and waiting around wasn't going to solve anything, so J had no choice but to use the communicator to call Wu Teng to come over.

"Tina, wake up, don't scare me, okay... Waaah..."

"Krikri, woof woof—" The claws tugged desperately at the girl's sleeve.

Even when Natsuyo Senju and Kuriboh called out, they didn't hear a thing.

……

"The firewall upgrade is complete."

"Central system repair progress 15%, some functions such as the five senses and conversation have been restored..."

The system crashed, so naturally there was no concept of time.

She didn't know how much time had passed when Tina slowly woke up and struggled to open her eyes.

Chishou Natsume, J, Wu Teng, and Chestnut Ball were all looking at him with concern.

Xia Shi smiled, her eyes trembling slightly, and cried out, almost in tears of joy, "That's wonderful..."

"As expected, how could a mere computer virus in this world possibly defeat a humanoid weapon?" J's smile was forced; who knows how worried he had been just moments before.

"What time is it now...?" the girl Tina asked weakly.

"It's 5:50 now." Wu Teng glanced at his watch, hesitated slightly, but still asked with concern, "How are you feeling?"

In fact, Tina had only rested for about ten minutes, and Wu Teng had just arrived, so they were still in the outer perimeter area.

She did not respond to his concern, because now was not the time to care. Tina Sprant was already troublesome enough, and with the addition of a dark loli with unparalleled scythe skills, the Holy Emperor's bodyguard, Rentaro Satomi, was practically useless.

"...Time is running out. I am unable to move now, so...J, Wu Teng, I'm begging you to stop the owl and protect the Holy Emperor."

"An owl...?" J didn't react immediately.

"Tina Sprante".

"then you……"

"I'm fine. I'll have Xia Shi take me back... In this world, the owl's sniping and assassination skills are second only to mine. If we add that person from before, Rentaro has no chance of winning. Only by protecting the Holy Emperor can the story continue."

“Okay, I’ll listen to you.” J turned to Xia Shidao and said, “Please make sure to protect her. Thank you.”

“Even if you don’t tell me, I will definitely do it.” Xia Shi nodded lightly, fearless.

Just as the two were about to leave, Tina bit her lip and said again, "Wait a minute..."

"No matter what, please don't... hurt Tina. This is my only request."

"..."

After agreeing to this impulsive request, the two went over and worked together to turn the jeep over.

J took a test drive and found it still had plenty of power, so he and Wu Teng got in the car and sped away.

After Pluto left, the sky returned to normal, but as time passed and it reached six o'clock in the evening, the light suddenly dimmed, and the orange sunset cast a faint sadness over the world.

Xia Shi: "Go...go home?"

Tina bit her red lips, closed her eyes and remained silent, a hint of pain hidden beneath her delicate brows that could not be concealed by feigned calm.

Xia Shi's slightly distressed voice rang in her ears: "If Tina has anything on her mind, I can help you, so please don't refuse..."

"Xia Shi..."

"Ok?"

"I...can't help Tina at all..."

Tina dared not gamble on that 20% chance, because if it failed, the transplanted chip would self-destruct and cause brain death... or even worse consequences than brain death.

The brain is the most vulnerable organ in the human body. Even the slightest change or damage can have immeasurable consequences. With the technological level of the Black Bullet world, modifying the heart is already the ultimate achievement, while the technology to modify the brain is still in its infancy.

"Tina, putting aside your abilities, you're just a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl. You don't have to try to change other people's fates. Wouldn't it be better to let her make her own choice?"

"Your own choice...?"

“Hmm!” Xia Shi said softly, in a reminiscent tone, “...Just like Xia Shi, wasn’t it her own choice of destiny? In that forest, on the night Scorpio appeared, for someone’s forgiveness, she overcame her timidity, smiled at her fear, and ignored death, so that she could…so that she could…”

Only then... can I be with myself.

"Central system repair progress 30%, operational functions restored, minor imaginary space functions restored..."

Xia Shi chose to skip over the previous sentence: "So, since we can't interfere, please let Tina make her own choice."

“Xia Shi,” Tina suddenly said.

"Oh."

"There are enemies."

"...Ah! Who, who?" Xia Shi's mind tightened subconsciously, and he instantly raised his eyes.

She is a dark loli who went away but returned.

As the boundless night descended, a girl in black, dressed in a black skirt, nimbly ran towards them. The unusually long black skirt swayed in the wind, so much so that even if one were to stand beneath it, it would be difficult to see what was underneath.

The enormous scythe, over two meters tall, was extremely conspicuous.

Tina, an expert in weaponry, immediately recognized it as a highly technologically advanced scythe. Releasing a special gas stored within it at once could create a day-to-night effect in a small area.

...As expected, the dark sky effect that came with our first meeting was just a bluff.

Judging from her previous ability to slice through a jeep and the speed and agility she displayed, she is a cursed child who is proficient in melee combat and has a balanced allocation of all attributes.

Furthermore, since, like Tina Sprantt, she is a cursed child who has undergone mechanization modifications under Arnland's command, and to unleash such terrifying power and speed, she must have a blood circulation speed far exceeding that of humans... and the principle is the same as that of humanoid weapons, so the only solution is to modify Hua's heart.

Know oneself

Yeah, this is rock solid.

【Ta95 The Fate of the Owl (Part 3) (To be continued)】

Without the grand dark sky special effects to complement it, the dark loli's aura diminishes considerably upon her appearance.

...After all, she was a cute little girl with delicate features, not some disfigured monster or demon.

'Thump—'

The Gothic Lolita leaped from a distance, instantly closing the distance of several meters, and her figure appeared before the two like a ghost.

"You're still alive?!"

Upon seeing the pale-faced girl who appeared perfectly fine, Hades frowned in surprise.

"As expected of extraterrestrial intelligent technology. After drinking a whole bottle, even if he remains conscious, he'll probably be too weak to fight during an emergency rescue...?"

(Unfortunately, your owl couldn't bear to see me die, so it only used half of its resources. Although I'm indeed being resuscitated, there are still plenty of methods available.)

Xia Shi was completely confused, while Hades took Tina's silence as a stalling tactic, so he snorted and continued:

"...Hmph, you guessed right, didn't you? Let me introduce myself. My name is Rita Sosbeni, IP ranking 21, nickname 'Hades'...and I'm also Tina Sprant's older sister."

Hades' expression was as cold as his voice as he looked down at the two of them: "...You should know why I've come!"

"Hmm...maybe I know," the young girl Tina replied calmly.

"Perhaps...?" A chilling killing intent surged from his cold gaze.
