About becoming a magical girl

Rather, this statement by Xiqi Yuji is one of the key points that Kuo Maji has always felt suspicious: the appearance of these mutants seems to have just followed the arrival of the troops.

No useful clues were obtained from the torture of the captives organized by the apostles—Maki Kuo was confident in her methods, and those apostles were just little girls, especially the apostle girl named Fuka Hatsukawa. Unlike others, she was relatively obedient and cooperative, and Maki Kuo got a lot of information from her.

But there are no clues about mutants, none of the apostles have seen these things.

This is very suspicious, as if those mutants were viruses brought in by the Jiusheng Maji troops-but the fact is that those seeds and vines are all lodged on human bodies similar to residues, and most of those people are mercenaries and former ICS researchers.

"Something's missing..."

Jiusheng Maji frowned and murmured.

131. Distorted

In the middle of the night, the withdrawn convoy arrived in the downtown area of ​​Xijing.

Immortal Hara Ayaka sent a special visit to greet them, and arranged for Efnir, Yanilas and others to go to the special ward of the headquarters for temporary observation. Yuki Nishiki immediately conducted a whole-body data feedback test for them.

In the diagnosis room, Evenier sat up from the analytical instrument, and Yuki Xiqi stared at the display screen suspiciously, "It's so strange...your data is different from other people's."

Evenier buttoned up his jacket and came to Nishiki Yuki, "Good or bad?"

"It doesn't look bad."

"From the data, there is almost no change, and the performance is also very stable-but you were exposed to the radiation of 'fragments', which is why it seems strange, obviously other people have obvious symptoms, and the speculation and conclusions in the research conclusion The records are exactly the same, and you don't seem to be..."

Yuki Xiqi was also not sure, she stared at Evenier, looked from top to bottom, and finally her eyes fell on Evenier's right eye, "Anielasi and the others' data levels are very unstable, but you are different, which gives me more room for bold assumptions."

If there is anything different about Evenier from Yanilas and other people, then only Evenier's right eye remains—after being wounded by an angel, Evenier's right eye obviously showed serious residues at one time, and complete blindness for a period of time is the best result.

But in the final result, Yuki Xiqi couldn't think of it. Evenier's right eye recovered from the residue. In Xiqi Yuji's view, this is absolutely impossible, even if it is an agent. It is a conclusion unanimously accepted by the academic community that human beings are absolutely irrecoverable after being degraded, at least with the current means of human beings.

Because of this, many agents had to make the most painful decision after being injured—for example, Triris, the deputy captain of the funeral bird team in Suzuda City, who had suffered extensive necrosis in the chest cavity due to serious injuries, and finally had to resect Some organs survived by relying on the agent's strong vitality and her firm willpower, but their strength was greatly reduced because of this.

All in all, Nishiki Yuki was taken aback by the situation of Avenier at the time, and it became the biggest secret of Avenier.

"During this battle, I also felt some very abnormal things." Evenier put on his coat, recalling the abnormality in his body when he and Xue Nai were hunted down. "I don't know the reason. I had a near-death experience when I was hunted down, but I got out of it immediately."

"Huh?" Yuki Xiqi stopped what he was doing and raised his head, "What's going on? You don't seem to have mentioned this to me before."

"Because I can't find a good time."

Evenier roughly narrated what happened when he was hunted down with Yuki Xiqi.

At that time, Evenier saw a bloody self in a vague dream—or in a hallucination.

After waking up, she immediately found that the fatal wounds all over her body had healed miraculously, and recovered a little strength in a short period of time. Because of this, she had the opportunity to fight back, and even chased and fled with Bai Yan and others in the end. the apostles.

Perhaps the feeling is not obvious to others—from the perspective of Bai Yan and others, no one knows how many injuries Avenier suffered at that time. Only Avenier himself knows that he has really stood under the scythe of death at that time, and will almost die from it. But being able to recover from such injuries in a short period of time, even Avenier can't help but feel weird.

"I am very aware of my situation at the time. You see, this place was hit by a bullet. It was written in the records at that time, but nothing can be seen now."

Evenier raised her hand, loosened the belt a little, and the short skirt hung loosely under her waist. Facing Xiqi Yuki, Evenier lifted the hem of the dress up to reveal the snow-white skin around her waist.

Nishiki Yuki squatted down, frowned and stared at Evenier's waist. There was indeed a very subtle mark there, which would be hard to detect if one didn't look carefully, but with Nishiki Yuki's experience, one could immediately judge it. That's where the wound is.

The bullet holes have disappeared—it has only been about two days since Evenier received treatment and took out the bullet. Even the agent is absolutely impossible to have such a powerful self-healing ability.

Just as Xiqi Youji was about to raise his hand to touch it, Avenier suddenly took a step back and lowered his clothes to cover his waist.

"..."

"what happened?"

Yuki Xiqi glanced suspiciously at Evenier, whose behavior suddenly became weird, and read a rare shyness from Avenier's eyes, Yuki Xiqi suddenly laughed, "I haven't touched it yet." , anyway, this is not the first time, why are you so shy?"

Indeed, as a doctor, Yuki Xiqi has seen and touched most of Evenier's body. Of course, it's not the kind of contact with impure intentions, but for the purpose of treatment and diagnosis-everyone is a girl That's fine, but things are clearly different now.

Evenier smiled stiffly, with a hint of embarrassment on his face.

"I've been a little ticklish lately..."

Just a little ticklish.

The waist is the most sensitive part of Evenier's whole body except between the legs. Under Xue Nai's intentional development, this trend is even worse than before, so Avenir instinctively avoided it.

And Yuki Xiqi obviously couldn't understand Avenier's embarrassment at the moment, he just shook his head, sighed "It's nice to be young", and withdrew his hand.

To touch or not to touch, she already knows the current situation, since Evenier doesn't want to, of course she doesn't have to take advantage of others.

"Did you see anything?" Evenier quickly changed the subject.

"No." Xiqi Youji shook his head, took out a cigarette from his pocket, held it in his mouth, but didn't light it - she always did this when she was thinking, this was her habit.

"It's really strange, and I can't guess what causes this result, but I have actually done related research on this performance situation, and I don't know if I can learn from it—I don't know if you have heard of a conjecture once proposed by a genius doctor. She boldly designed a set of "Force of Order" operating laws using a time theory model to explore its essence."

"I don't know very well..."

Evenier lives in Xijing City, far away from the academic world, and she has only been an agent for two years, so she doesn't know much about these things.

"To put it simply: that person believes that the essence of the agent's use of power comes from the distortion of the concept of time..."

……

132. Time

When it comes to time, it is much more abstract.

In the old generation, time was considered to reflect the continuous and sequential performance of material movement and change. It was a parameter used to describe the process of material movement and change, a conceptual physical quantity, and a theoretical law.

It both exists and does not exist.

Even in the most prosperous century of human civilization in the old generation, people's concept of "time" could not be absolutely unified.

So is it really reliable to model it as an unguided cosmic truth?Even so, how to correctly understand an illusory concept that is invisible and intangible?

"Of course, this expression may be a bit vague," Yuki Xiqi explained when she saw Avenier's puzzled face, "but in other words, you can probably understand the root of her conjecture—the agent hardly ever grows old. Doesn't it seem like time has stopped for them?"

The agent's body will stop growing after the first attunement. The specific manifestation is that the agent's appearance will stay in the state when she was attuned. Due to the changes in the skin, bones, physical state and hair color caused by the attunement, it looks completely normal. It seems to be a different person, but generally the visual age before and after the change is almost the same.

Efnir is one of the very few agents whose bodies have undergone drastic changes after being co-tuned—the other agents who showed such a gap are mostly second-time servicers.

Then the final result is: during the two service periods, their bodies are growing, but the other side of them as agents still maintains the original appearance, which means that the age of their bodies is inconsistent with the age in the exile mode.

Evenier had doubts like this before—whether he had fought as a proxy before.

But when she thought that she had been a boy, she erased this guess - it is well known that the only agents are women.

Whether it is the parents, Xue Nai or Futaba Erika, they can all prove that Avenier's memory is not wrong, so this may have been ruled out by Avenier long ago.

Yuki Xiqi continued: "And they can heal their injuries quickly. Is it like time is speeding up? In other words, are the deeply buried ruins themselves a product of time manipulation?"

This is indeed the case, the time when those "remains" were discovered was too late.

The exploration of this world by the humans of the old generation has developed to an unimaginable level. If it is said that the relics have always existed here, it is hard to think that the humans of the old generation did not really develop the relics until the end of the old generation.

Most scholars tend to believe that the national government at that time hid the existence of the "remains" as a secret for secret research, which led to the appearance that its existence was unknown.

But if it is based on the theory that Yuki Xiqi said, then the facts at that time will be completely different: in the last period of the old generation, the "relics" appeared out of thin air, known to humans, and then began to explore, and then The erosion of white holes came, and human civilization was on the verge of collapse. Finally, it survived by relying on "relic technology".

If this is the case, then some things cannot be thought about carefully, and the deeper you go, the more chilling you will be-the sudden appearance of those "remains" is just the eve of the erosion of the white hole.

It is indeed a good thing that someone sends a life-saving straw when we are in a deep crisis, but the problem is that no one knows what existence sent this "gift" to human beings, and what is its purpose.

"Okay, don't think too much, I'm just talking casually."

Seeing that Avenier's eyes became more dignified, Yuki Xiqi could naturally guess what Avenier was thinking. She smiled and brought back Avenier's thoughts.

"This is just one part of that theory, but the fact is that this statement is more of a conspiracy theory, and there are many loopholes in it, so you don't have to choose to believe it."

"You don't have to choose to believe?" Evenier's eyes moved slightly, looking at Yuki Xiqi, "Does that mean you actually believe it?"

Xiqi Youji pursed his lips and smiled, but did not answer.

She continued typing on the keyboard and processed the data briefly, and at the same time said: "Of course, it's too vague to say this. That person built a special high-dimensional model based on time. How should I put it, there is almost no one in that thing." Understandable—not that she couldn't use her theories to coherent, but her ideas were so far removed from accepted academic theories that they looked like a well-designed but unfounded fantasy reader."

As if remembering something, Yuki Xiqi stopped what he was doing.

"That person tried to use this to explain the energy itself of the 'Force of Order'. But obviously, there are huge loopholes in this statement, and many phenomena cannot be explained by it. In the end, this kind of argument is only a flash in the pan, and soon disappeared—but I have to say, it is indeed a way of thinking beyond the general boundary line that is worth learning, so I have the honor to visit that person, but she... Forget it, it’s far away, let’s talk about this."

Yuki Xiqi is serious, "If this theory does have some truth in some aspects, then as long as the agent can fully control the 'Force of Order' itself, then she can do all the things that you have experienced, Evenier. On the other hand, if you don't explain it on this basis, then all the theories we think of now can't confirm these phenomena well—at least not now, then it is only possible that there is something missing that affects all of this, and the existence of its laws cannot be observed at our current research level."

"Like 'dust'?"

"Well, it's like 'dust'." Yuki Xiqi emphasized, "Your 'dust'. In fact, even through your description, I still can't imagine such a picture, let alone understand its essence."

Xiqi Yuji sighed lightly.

"So just listen to this kind of thing. Hasn't someone said that? ——'It's us who change, not time'."

After speaking, Yuki Xiqi smiled, but Evenier fell into silence.

To be honest, Evenier felt that it was impossible for someone as smart as Yuki Nishiki to just believe in a theory casually.

Unless, it involves some kind of connection that other people cannot see, or see but cannot admit.

……

Data collection ends.

Evenier and Xiqi Yuki walked out of the airtight measurement room side by side, and the soldiers guarding the door were all relieved—they received orders to be optimistic about Evenier, and they must not let Avenier Neil repeated what happened to Yanilas, Feng, and Yuan, but Xiqi Yujibing didn't allow them to stand by in the measuring room, so they had to stay outside.

Fortunately, nothing happened, and the soldiers finally felt at ease.

Strange to say, all the other agents who were exposed to radiation had negative conditions, but Efnir was fine, which made these soldiers doubt their mission.

……

133. One week

Yuki Xiqi's office is in the first room outside the experimental area—according to her, she seems to have specially applied for the office to be set up here.

Surrounded by soldiers and leaving the experimental area, Yuki Xiqi finally took out her kerosene lighter that had been used for many years, and the sparks lit up the cigarette in her mouth.

She took a deep breath, obviously suffocated in the no-smoking experimental area.

Efnir glanced at her, and Yuki Xiqi smiled apologetically, "It didn't make you feel bad, did it?"

"Fortunately."

Evenier doesn't smoke.

Because her father Yanase Takuma warned her that smoking is harmful to her body since she was a child, and drinking too much is also harmful to her body.

At least until the university encountered the Xijing University erosion disaster incident, Evenier lived and grew up as a standard obedient boy, and the few outrageous behaviors were only for Xue Nai. The almost dull personality has always been with Evenier, and it still shows that side from time to time.

But after all, the position he stands now is different from the top student he used to be, so the originally difficult personality has now become "stable" and "reliable" in the eyes of others.

"I was negligent," Xiqi Youji thought for a while, but still reluctantly extinguished the cigarette, pinching the extinguished cigarette end between his fingers, "I even forgot that you are still a patient."

"I don't care, but it's not a bad thing if you smoke less."

"If I could quit, I would have quit long ago."

After all, smoking is such a thing, maybe it is not a dependence, but a habit.

"Oh, that's right," Yuki Xiqi flipped through the record sheet in his hand, "I heard that you performed the apostolic co-tune again, do you feel any discomfort in your body?"

"Fortunately, I don't feel anything special." Avenir replied truthfully.

"That's right... But I can still see that the data is a bit different from the last comparison," Xiqi Yuki paused, "Although this sentence should not be said by me, but the meaning of 'apostate' The fewer times the better, the apostolic power is very strong, but your body will be the first to be unable to bear it."

"Don't worry, I have my own measure." Avenir was noncommittal.

It might be better to say that compared to apostolicization, Evenier feels that although the power of the agent is relatively weaker, it is more handy.

But there are times when things go their own way and Evenier doesn't go all out.

It's not something she can choose.

While walking, the conversation between Evenier and Yuki Xiqi changed from apostle to mutant. They passed through the isolation passage and left the experimental area. As soon as they walked out of the automatic door, they just encountered the sound of the flower playing the piano with coffee delivered to Yuki Xiqi's office.

"Miss Yanagi, Yanase! Good evening..."

Huazaoqinyin greeted Evenier and Xiqi Yuki respectively.
