About becoming a magical girl

……

After Yuki Xiqi left, Avenir went to see Xue Nai again.

Huazao Qinyin is also there, but Yuki Xiqi didn't seem to take her with her when she went to the underground research institute—and Huazao Qinyin was frustrated because of this, she had nothing to do after changing Xue Nai's medicine. Leave and stay here.

Seeing this, Evenier did not stay in Xue Nai's room for a long time, but confessed to the guarding soldiers and asked for a computer, then returned to his room, and began to look through the collected information files.

Those papers with densely packed text and drawn data models are too obscure for a layman. Every time Evenier reads a piece of paper, he spends a lot of time pondering it slowly.

Time passed by while Evenier was concentrating on it, until the sky outside the window was gradually dyed orange.

"Phew... the information is not complete... Did it miss out during the investigation?" Evenier rubbed the corners of his dry and sore eyes, pressed his fingertips between his brows and squeezed, sighed softly, his gaze Moving out of the window, "It's about this time... As a result, nothing worthy of attention was found, but there are quite a few suspicious points."

I didn't go to accompany Xue Nai today, and I don't know how Xue Nai is doing.

dong dong——

The knock on the door broke the silence in the room, and Evenier's wandering thoughts were pulled back.

"Your Excellency, Major General Evenier, are you there?"

The voice of the soldier came from outside the door.

Evenier closed the laptop, removed it from his lap, and set it aside.

"What's the matter? Please come in and talk."

"Excuse me..." The soldier pushed open the door and did not enter, but Xue Nai appeared in front of Evenier with a box of lunch in his hand.

The door closed gently.

Xue Nai smiled, sat down beside Evenier, put the lunch box on her knees, and looked at the large stack of documents in Avenier's hand, "Naoko hasn't eaten yet, right?"

"not yet……"

"It just so happened that Hua Zuo brought the food, so I came over."

"What about her?"

"Doctor Xiqi seems to be back, so Huazuo went to look for her."

"I'm back..." Evenier murmured, heaving a sigh of relief in his heart, "It seems that nothing happened."

Then maybe I will go back to the headquarters tonight or tomorrow.

129. Central Province

After dinner, Evenier sat on the edge of the bed and continued to check the report information on the notebook, while Xue Nai sat quietly beside Avenier.

"This is the information obtained this time. Of course, this one is still very incomplete. It seems that those people deliberately destroyed the information before they evacuated. We only found part of the original case, and some data is being recovered. Can we finally balance the data?" It depends on luck to come up with complete research materials."

While explaining the documents in the laptop to Xue Nai, Evenier briefly recounted what Yuki Xiqi said to him in the morning.

"Hey? So we will go back to the headquarters?" Xue Nai was a little surprised, and raised her head from Avenier's shoulder.

"Maybe..." Faced with Xue Nai's astonishment, Evenier shook her head, "If Yuki and the others didn't find anything in the underground research institute, maybe they will return temporarily."

"Because you need the equipment in the laboratory of the headquarters?"

"Well. In addition, there are other considerations," Eve Neil paused. "The things discovered this time are too shocking. I am afraid that even Maki Kuo cannot make a judgment easily. Therefore, Yuki needs to bring those materials to the Central Province directly through the headquarters to have a dialogue. At that time, Yanilas and I will also participate as important participants."

It is related to the "fragments" of the relics. No one can deal with this matter purely by their own judgment. While maintaining the status quo, they must consult the People's Federation as soon as possible.

At the same time, there is still an investigation into the reasons and responsibilities of the ICS Research Institute for concealing this series of things. If the full authorization and appointment order from the People's Federation can be obtained, the subsequent things will be much simpler.

"Is that so..."

Xue Nai nodded thoughtfully, lowered her eyelashes, and leaned gently on Avenier's shoulder.

"Naoko, Central Province... what kind of place is it?"

The central province is called a "province", but it is actually not the same thing as the "province" of the old generation. It is not an administrative division but a symbolic name.

——These are all one-sided understandings Xue Nai extracted from books and the Internet.

Maybe there are so few photos, some article bloggers full of longing and awe, and some unconstrained visionaries talking about it, but its most real appearance is always so vague-in this era, the global network interconnection technology for civilian use has become history with the advent of white hole erosion, and the only long-distance communication method must rely on the Sakai Monument system. The Internet can be said to be very poor.

It is precisely because of this that Evenier was surprised to have his own fans in Suzuta City and Central Province, which is generally unimaginable.

"Central Province... I don't know either," Evenier pretended to think, and then smiled frankly, "Would you like to take a look if you have a chance?"

There are various theories about Central Province, but most of them are some ideal places that people imagined.

But the only thing that is certain is: the central province is huge, far larger than Xijing City by dozens of times, and its development level is infinitely close to that of the human society in the old age. Even Suzuta City, which is a large city, is as small as a firefly compared to the central province.

"—It's really hard to describe without seeing it with your own eyes." Concubine Masaki described the central province in this way.

The photos she took out always took a bustling street as the background, or were filled with all kinds of unimaginably magnificent buildings and overlooking scenery. Pedestrians crowded shoulder to shoulder, tall buildings stood like pine forests, and the buildings were connected by light rail. The entire urban area was like a three-dimensional and magnificent steel and concrete fortress.

For people living in other cities, that kind of scenery is unimaginable, even if you stand on the top of a tall building, you can't see the end of the city.

"Yi? Can our agent leave the city?" Xue Nai asked, "Then what will happen to Xijing City if we leave?"

"you stupid."

Evenier pinched Xue Nai's little face, it was soft and slippery, very comfortable, completely different from the hot, wet and sticky Xue Nai's hand.

"It's not like he's not coming back."

Since the Central Province can send people over, Xijing City can naturally send people there too.

The reason why Evenier never left Xijing City was that Xijing City needed her at that time, and it was because Xue Nai needed her, not because she couldn't leave.

Of course, all this will not be possible until the apostle's threat is removed.

"Oh."

Xue Nai let Evenier pinch the soft flesh on her cheek, and was about to say something when a message came from the communication machine.

Evenier picked up the answer, and the voice of the adjutant came from the opposite side.

……

2 minute later.

In fact, the adjutant came here specially to inform Efnir Kuo Maki of the general arrangement, and specifically conveyed the situation of Nishiki Yuki's side - the progress was very smooth, at least they did not feel too much resistance. The Institute's general exploration and investigation, and obtained a large number of samples.

The only regret is that the central tower cannot be entered—just like what Evenier saw at the time, the several entrances of the tower were all closed, and the only one seemed to be opened by some huge force It has been filled with vines, and it is not an easy task to remove those extremely tenacious and dangerous plants while ensuring that the interior is not damaged, so the investigation work did not go deep into the tower.

All in all, Yuki Xiqi has successfully obtained a large amount of research materials and collected a lot of samples, and is planning to take them back for research.

Therefore, the second thing the adjutant locked up was to inform Avenier that he was about to set off to head back to the headquarters—the downtown area of ​​Xijing.

"Are you leaving tonight..."

"That's right, Your Excellency Major General, the sooner this matter happens, the better." The adjutant replied.

Avenier stared at the laptop screen and thought for a while, then glanced at Xue Nai, and asked, "Is Xiqi Youji already confirmed? arrange?"

"Will be with us," said the adjutant's words on the other end of the communication, which reassured Evenier a little.

To be honest, Evenier doesn't really want to be separated from Xue Nai.

However, it seems that Jiusheng Maki did not intend to keep the wounded in the garrison area-since the wounded need to be recuperated and cannot be of help, it is better to send them back to take care of the wounded before coming back than to stay here and watch the disciples feel anxious. Perhaps it was also due to the consideration of letting Evenier and the others sit in the empty headquarters area. All in all, not only the researchers and agents who suffered radiation such as Evenier and Yanilas returned to the headquarters this time, but also Some soldiers and wounded surrogates.

"What about Suzuta City? Are Leipis and the others alright?"

"Well, the commander has already had a preliminary communication with Suzuta City. Colonel Lepis and his team will stay to help us garrison the garrison area."

In this way, Evenier can completely relax.

She had seen Lapis' strength with her own eyes. Even if Qinglan and Feiyan, who had turned into angels, attacked at the same time, Lapis' amazing combat ability could hold them back.

The only question is, are there only two angels?

Repis is indeed very powerful, many times more powerful than most agents, but she is definitely not strong enough to fight against three angels at the same time - besides, the threat of the apostle organization is not just angels, the apostles and the corrupt body are all apostles The trump card held by the organization.

"I hope everything goes well." Avenil sighed softly.

"The specific actions are in charge of Lieutenant Colonel Shino Minami, and she will pick you up in 15 minutes."

After speaking, Evenier briefly asked a few more questions before hanging up the communication.

……

130. Doubt

Night falls.

At the checkpoint on the west side of the temporary resident of the former Banchuan garrison, the roar of lights and engines broke the darkness and silence of the night. After receiving the communication from the adjutant, only Evenier made some preparations from the temporary ward, and with the help of the nurse, he brought Xue Nai together in an open space here.

When they came here, soldiers in camouflage uniforms waited for them in uniform.

The researchers in white uniforms boarded the armed vehicle in an orderly manner. Most of them carried some suitcases and folders in their hands. The soldiers moved the boxes containing boxes of samples to the vehicle, which needed to be brought back to Xijing Most of the precious samples for follow-up research in the downtown area come from the experimental projects in the ICS Research Institute and its underground secret research institute—since the power supply has been lost for more than a month, these things kept in the incubator of the research institute There have been a lot of mutations or necrosis, so they have no choice but to collect all the samples they can find, and try to reverse the whole picture through calculations and some feasible experiments.

It is conceivable what kind of difficulties Xiqi Yuji and others are facing.

And Shino Mi Nami and her special forces, as well as the agent Xia Duo, that is, Saori Uzuki also walked with Efnir. They were the first batch of support troops to come to the former Sakagawa garrison. They were originally the Order Organization. The flexible support force within is also an elite force.After the follow-up support and logistics replenishment are fully deployed, there is no more place for them to be used for the time being, so they will withdraw to the downtown area of ​​Xijing this time, and will not join the missions in the former Banchuan area for the time being.

In addition to them, three agents including Herul were also in the team, and they were sent by Jiusheng Maki to serve as escort missions.

Yani Lasi, Feng and others were in the same car as Evenier, and Xue Nai and other injured agents were also in this car.

They are all agents who have been temporarily withdrawn this time, and they are gathered in one car to avoid unnecessary losses caused by Efnir, Yani Lasi and others suddenly violently, and Xue Nai and others will guarantee Safety——Although both Xue Nai and Bai Yan were still injured, they still had more than enough beacons to deal with an agent who hadn't entered the coherence, so they weren't worried about any accidents.

Soon, the order to set off was transmitted to every driver's ears through communication, the sound of the engine spread all over the field, and the night was pierced by bright lights. let's go.

……

At the same time, at the provisional headquarters, Maki Kuo, dressed in a straight military uniform, leaned back quietly on the back of his chair, taking a nap with his eyes closed.

Unlike the one I saw in the past, her face now does not show a domineering taste. Although she is still in that attire, the hair under the brim of the hat is neatly tied back, and the depressing aura has disappeared. Not to be seen, but softer with the ups and downs of her breathing.

She has not had a rest for two days in a row.

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

"Sir!"

There were a few soldiers outside the door, and the adjutant entered alone. At this time, Maki Kuo was lying on a chair with his back facing him. After he stood still, Maki Kuo slowly turned around, frowning like a sword, rubbing his eyebrows tightly. Frown.

"Is there any result?" Jiusheng Maji's voice was a little hoarse, but it was still wrapped in the clang and chill like a saber.

"Reporting sir, I have already tortured the 'fragment', but I didn't get the expected answer——according to our judgment, those apostles seem to be not very clear about the existence of 'fragment' and the underground research institute."

"It doesn't make sense," Jiusheng Maki snorted coldly.

The adjutant hesitated for a moment, "Doctor Xiqi will definitely surprise us."

"I hate passive waiting."

Jiusheng Maki sighed, "Forget it, is there anything else to report?"

"Yes, we found out about the traces of the three types of mutants discovered by the funeral bird team and the soldiers stationed on the east side of the area..."

Then there are some things that are insignificant at this stage-the so-called third type of mutants, that is, the special mutants with a higher degree of danger that Evenier and Yanilas found in the underground tunnel, which are different from other mutants.

Their existence is undoubtedly a very deadly threat to the soldiers performing tasks in Qiansaka River, so Maki Kuo handed over the task of hunting these mutants to the funeral bird team.

It will take at least a week to complete the cleaning of the former Sakakawa resident area, and such things will happen many times during this period.

Afterwards, the comprehensive reconstruction of the former Banchuan resident area will take place.

After the reconstruction, it may be a big project to restore the resident area to its former appearance.

"But..." the adjutant considered his tone, looking at the commander who looked much younger than himself but always gave people a strong sense of oppression, "something suspicious is that there seem to be more and more of these third types of mutants - I am very concerned about what Xiqi Youji said before leaving..."

"What?"

"She said that these mutants seem to be evolving..."

Jiusheng Maji frowned, thoughtful.

Seeing this, the adjutant added: "One month after the fall of the former Banchuan area, we did not discover the existence of these mutants through early investigations. However, these mutants appeared after we entered here. At first, there were a few, dozens of them, and now these terrifying creatures are everywhere in the former Banchuan area. They are more difficult to deal with and more dangerous than residues. As time goes by, we have discovered more and more third types of mutants——Dr. Xiqi Yuki at the Underground Research Institute That’s when I made such a guess.”

"It's not without reason."
