About becoming a magical girl

"The actual space on the fourth floor seems to be larger than the engineering drawing - I felt it before, and this drawing seems to be incomplete."

"I feel the same way..."

Evenier thought for a while, then made a gesture on the drawing with his hand, "That's about the same."

"Looks like a tree."

"Um……"

Efnir looked up at the "shards" suspended in mid-air, and pressed his fingers on the drawing, thoughtfully.

At this time, a soldier ran over.

"Sir, we have some discoveries here, maybe you need to come and have a look!"

Evenier and the adjutant exchanged glances.

"You lead the way."

They followed the soldiers to the middle layer at the back of the center. From here, they could see a very good view, and they could see the whole central well area clearly.

A "main console" is set up here, which is like a circular control room, and the front is surrounded by transparent glass-strings of characters scroll quickly on the glass, which are actually several huge display screens.

Several researchers and engineers huddled here, all focused on their work, and one of them walked over immediately when he saw Avenier and the adjutant.

"The data here has been deleted."

He looked anxious, and got straight to the point, "There are also a lot of missing data disks - we searched all over this floor but couldn't find it, so it must have been taken away by someone."

Evenier frowned slightly, and said in a low voice, "Sure enough, someone has been here a long time ago."

She was not surprised at all.

As early as the first time Evenier came to investigate, she had the feeling that someone had come here first.

Even, that person's arrival was earlier than the time when the plants in the tower were growing explosively—that is to say, it was probably before and after the attack on the previous Banchuan resident area a month ago.

"We are trying to find ways to restore the data through the traces of data transmission, but when we reconstructed the code, we found this thing..."

The researcher pointed to one of the screens with a serious face, "'Angel'—there seems to be such a word on it..."

……

173. Birth

"'Angel'?"

Ephnell frowned, "Are you sure that what appears in the records here is really the code name 'Angel'?"

"It's absolutely true. According to the description in the few words we recovered, we are sure that the 'angel' mentioned here is the one controlled by the apostles..."

It seems that considering that the two angels discovered now are both former agents, the researcher paused for a while, and did not say a word.

"It's okay, just keep talking."

Seeing that there was no reaction from Evenier, he chose his words carefully and continued, "In short, it is precisely because we have discovered that there is a connection between the two, and even the 'angel' described in it is stronger than the 'angel' we know, and possesses a huge power that can almost face the dangerous level S corrosive body..."

"No, I think you may have made a mistake, the apostle's 'angel' absolutely does not have the power to fight against erosive bodies."

Evenier retorted.

Angel—she is very familiar with this word. For the past month, "angel" has appeared in her mind every day, constantly reminding her that a powerful enemy is watching the city.

And one of the characteristics of an angel is that its attack, or in other words, an energy output and application method, is directly linked and connected with erosion energy, and its mode of action is more focused on energy than physics Reacting to conflicts, it is precisely because of this that the suppressive power displayed by the angels on the frontal battlefield is not as terrifying as originally guessed.

Of course, even so, it is definitely not something that the general army can resist. The army cannot cause substantial damage to the angels, but the power of the angels cannot be resisted by simple armed armor.

But on the other hand, there are far more ways to apply angels than imagined, and the way to realize it is a simple and clear way of "war"-its existence will even shake the foundation of the entire Human Federation.

All in all, the existence of angels is definitely not to deal with erosive bodies, at least the angels Evenier saw were like Qinglan and Feiyan.

"Sir, what you said is very reasonable... However, we have also considered this issue. Although there are differences, all other descriptions can be consistent with 'angels'..."

"That's right...Since this is the case, there is indeed such a possibility."

"Wait...an angel?" The adjutant frowned, "Why is it... no, I mean, is the apostle really involved? But the apostle doesn't seem to have been here, the data has been erased, but the most important thing is Isn't the thing still there?"

"But it would make sense if it had something to do with the apostle," Avenir shook his head. "Or, it's not impossible for other forces to intervene."

Why did the apostle choose to be stationed in Qiansakachuan?Evenier was troubled and thought about this, but until the reappearance of the apostles, the rampage of "variants", and the discovery of "fragments", each of the secrets that had been hidden in the shadows surfaced, but they were discovered Without revealing the whole picture... A large number of fragments are put together, and everything seems to be logical again.

But there is always something missing, Evenier has an intuition.

"Sir, do you mean the code name J?"

Avenir did not answer, but asked: "This facility already existed during the war of the old generation... I don't know much about the history of the old generation, so I can ask, that era has passed since now How many years?"

"According to the verifiable records, it may have been more than 100 years..."

Over 100 years...

Evenier thought about it.

"Forget it...it's too long ago, even if you want to go back, you can't go back to that time."

Evenier shook her head and dismissed the flashing thought.

"Is it really because of something else... Leaving aside the matter of 'fragments', I'm more curious as to why 'angels' appear in the records here—even before we were attacked by angels, even the headquarters didn't know anything about angels."

This is what feels strangest to Evenier.

Why does the research carried out in the underground research institute involve "angels"?Did the researchers here know about the existence of "angels" earlier than the headquarters, or even the People's Federation?

"Continue your decoding, the current information is still too little, we need to know the extent of their understanding of the 'angel' as soon as possible, at least to know the overall picture of the project, or in other words, this 'angel' is not that 'angel'... "

Avenir took a deep breath, and turned his gaze to the "shards" in the central well, "In short, continue with your work."

The most crucial clue is still missing.

More and more things are happening, and there must be an internal connection among them. So far, some of the information has been mastered, but there is still an opportunity, a clue, for how to piece together the pieces of information to make it fully reproduced.

Efnir lowered his gaze, and his eyes fell on the water-colored hairband on his wrist.

She had a premonition that something had been hiding in the dark shadows and was about to move, and now, maybe it was about to wake up in the world.

Is it an apostle?Or are there other existences?

"In addition, we also found clues about the 'variant variant'..." The researcher handed a small notebook to Evenier.

The book is slightly larger than the palm of your hand, the cover is clean but you can clearly feel the traces of being frequently flipped.

"What's in here?" asked the adjutant.

"Recorded some research on 'variants', which is exactly the information we lack."

"Why is this kind of thing here? I remember that most of the materials should have been destroyed..."

"It seems to be something like a diary... It seems that it was ignored because it is not a research record but an essay. Maybe it is a researcher's little thought..."

"Is that so..."

Evenier took the notebook and opened it.

"'The team leader is a hopeless fool, I can't get along with her at all. Oh, yes, the dinner she invited me to today is not bad, and the weather is also suitable, so let's make a note for now.'"

Evanil read it out, frowning slightly, "Isn't this a diary?"

"Hmm... Although it's a little rude, it records some details of the experiment, which may still be useful."

Avenir flipped over, "'I always feel that the current direction is wrong? The team leader is still too conservative, and she can't understand what is crucial to surviving humans. She insists that the erosive body It must be completely eliminated, but is this really the case? We have always lived with bacteria and viruses for tens of thousands and tens of thousands of years, and erosion bodies have been with us for at least dozens of centuries. Why are we today? Can't get out of the shadow cast by the erosion body?'"

"'What a boring day, why did she take me to see rice? Is it stupid?'"

"'If the guys at ICS are dumb asses, I am today too. I suddenly think it's possible for them to study plants.'"

Avni paused, and simply rolled over to the back.

"'Fine, I'm the team leader now. She's going to be freaked out, isn't she?'"

"'Although I've heard that mutants of plants have appeared in other places, in general, plants are basically not alienated by erosion energy. This is a fact. In the process of plants resisting residues, what is at work?'"

"'She doesn't look very happy...'"

"'Erosion waves... let's call it that, it's not supposed to be selective, but humans seem to be the worst affected compared to other animals, plants and microbes. 'Debris' seems to work on it.'"

Such thoughts occur every day, and occasionally the date and time are marked, which provides a clear timeline and direction for the investigation.

Eveniel scrolled down and paused.

"'This feature should be able to cut and function in the human body.'——This is probably the original origin of the 'variant'."

Eveniel sighed softly.

She didn't know who the notebook belonged to, but there was no doubt that the person who left it was probably dead.

Evenier turned back again. At the beginning, there were fewer and fewer random thoughts, and more and more contents about the experiment. A large amount of data and calculations filled the pages. The diary almost became an experiment log, and then it came to an abrupt end a month ago.

"Hold it."

Evenier closed the book and handed it to the adjutant.

"Give it back to the relevant people and start investigating."

It has to be said that such an experiment is very groundbreaking, but it also has countless difficulties.

As for what happened during the project and when Mae Sakagawa was attacked, Evenier had no way of knowing, but the final result was that the "mutant" had already been born before the owner of the diary won the final victory.

174. Handover of hostages

after an hour……

The parsing process went fairly smoothly, although it took some time, nothing went wrong.

The light of the fragments suspended in the central well gradually dimmed until they all converged, and then they were carried by the mechanical arm to the front of the stage. The adjutant and his subordinates carefully put it into a square metal box.

"Since someone has been here before us...why didn't he take the 'shard'?"

"Maybe he can't take this thing away at all."

"Or maybe it's something else."

"Forget it, all in all, the 'shard' is ours now." The adjutant looked at it for a moment, and finally relaxed his tense nerves. "If you look carefully, the 'shard' really looks like a broken ring."

The fragment is a half-curved metallic luster, which looks like a ring, but only half--the section looks strange, it doesn't look like it was cut by something, but it seems to be broken naturally.Looking at the fragments, it is easy to think that it should be a ring-like object, such as an incomplete ring.

But it's clearly not the kind of thing you wear on your fingers.

"This thing is too big for a ring."

Evenier stretched out his hand and compared the "sacred relic" worn on his finger with the "shards" in the box, "And for the bracelet, this thing is too small."

"The inside of it... is there something engraved on it?"

If you look carefully, there is a neat row of dim symbols inside the fragment.

"Maybe it's a relic... I've seen similar symbols inside the Sakai Monument. This thing is not a creation of our humans."

"A relic..."

The adjutant was silent.

He knew very little about the relics, and even high-ranking officials had access to the relics and related information, and there were only a handful of people.

The relics are the greatest secret of the People's Federation, and at the same time the foundation of the People's Federation.

Eveniel withdrew her hand.

When brushing his hand over the box, Evenier could clearly feel a viscous sense of stagnation, and only felt that the power of order in his body seemed to be attracted by something, ready to move.

Eveniel looked at the adjutant.

"Did you feel anything?"

"What?" The adjutant didn't know why.

There is an extra temperature in the air... It is not accurate to say this, but it does feel different.

Evenier didn't know how to describe that feeling, even through the box, she could clearly feel the squirming of the muddy, viscous energy in the air as the debris moved.
