About becoming a magical girl

Xue Nai's face was reflected in the communication, and the water-colored bow was still tightly held in her hand.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

I was injured a little bit by the code name J. Although the accumulated injuries are more serious than it seems, for the agent, this is only three or four days to recover.

"Speaking of which, the funeral birds are not injured, are they?"

"This one……"

Xue Nai turned her head away, and the screen turned to Leipis.

"You don't have to be so polite, Ms. Ive from Xijing City, there is a wounded person under my command, I might bother you guys these days, but to be honest," Repis showed her gauntlet and gave a thumbs up, "Eve from Xijing City, you are really impressive, I recognize you very much."

"Okay Captain, let's talk about something important."

Trillis snatched the screen away and straightened her face, "Speaking of which, Evner, we have some information to share with you. After your side is over, let's meet somewhere."

"Okay, just at the headquarters, I'll be there later."

"it is good."

After Cui Lisi finished speaking, she turned the screen to Xue Nai, and Evenier smiled at Xue Nai, "See you later."

……

Headquarters, post-war meeting—

There were not many participants. A total of five people from Xijing City, Efnir, Shino Mi Nami, Immortal Hara Ayaka, and the mourning bird team's Repis and Triris, were present.

"Although it is true that it was a post-war meeting, in fact, it was requested by Her Excellency Triris of the mourning bird team, and there is an information exchange about the code name J."

The meeting was not very formal, and it was presided over by Nami Shino.

Sitting next to Evenier, Repis whispered to Evenier: "Although the positions are not exactly the same, we also need the information code-named J here."

Evenier felt strange: "Even if that's the case, why don't you go directly to Renlian and ask for it?"

"Actually, it's a bit regrettable. Most of the information provided by the People's Federation is second-hand goods after screening," Leipis lowered her voice, "Of course, I am not simply expressing my dissatisfaction. In fact, the People's Federation The help given to us has been large enough, including various resources and weapons and equipment, as well as corresponding technical personnel and combat support. We can obtain almost all the information we want from the people, except for the "remains" intelligence."

"The ruins?" Evenier glanced at Lepis, and now they were whispering to each other, "Does Suzuta City need information about the ruins?"

"It's not necessarily necessary, probably... right?" Leipis smiled, "But... Suzuta City is already big enough, and the information we have in hand needs to be expanded accordingly. These relatively large cities seem to be on guard—relics and so on. They seem to deliberately prevent us from getting access and approaching. In fact, we probably also know that the People’s Federation is to prevent us from becoming the second "flag breaker". , so the People's Federation treats all cities equally, and the control over the relic information is particularly strict."

"Is that so..."

Evenier nodded slightly.

From the perspective of the People's Federation, Avenier can also understand the choice of the People's Federation.

The People's Federation was established at the end of the old generation. At first, it was just a loose alliance of dead governments. However, there is not only one such alliance. The global information network that human beings rely on and are proud of is blocked, and the remaining regions Adjacent or similar areas are all united to form a temporary regime. There are dozens of such regimes due to the division of regions, groups, and classes, and the People's Federation is only one of them.

182. Zero series

The history of the People's Federation can be traced back to the end of the old generation. The specific time and details have long been unable to be verified. Things no longer make sense.

All in all, the well-known People's Federation survived to the end from the many alliances of that era with the help of strong technical force and relic technology, and it is also the only winner who has come all the way from that era and is still developing until now.

Some scholars always like to compare the People's Federation with the countries in the old generation of human history, and regard the shallow history as a kind of new life or humiliation, but no one can deny it, although this choice of regime does not leave much mottled Bloodstains, but that doesn't mean they're outside the purview of a regime.

Concubine Masaki once confessed to Evenier her views on Renlian—from the perspective of a meritorious Lieutenant General of Renren.

To put it mildly, the People's Federation is an organization established for the survival of mankind.

To put it bluntly, it's just a coward who got lucky enough to get the relic technology, and then used these things to build an indestructible fortress to keep himself alive.

Otherwise, it can't explain why People's Federation never announces any relic technology they have mastered, and even strictly guards against it.

"Well, Ive from Xijing City, actually, I used to hate People's Federation, and I even rejected the central province's offer to recruit me—the qualification of 'Zero Series' agent, which was rejected by me," Leipis said. He smiled and said, "I always thought about it later, so I slowly came to this point. In any case, the current peace is brought to me by the People's Federation. In fact, I should not treat people with personal speculation and attitude. Lianbao complains and criticizes too much. In the past, people often said that I was a ruthless person, but in fact I just lacked the ability to empathize, so I was always considered to easily trample on other people's feelings..."

While saying such words, Repis' eyes showed a different kind of gleam, and Efnir remained silent, burying the profile of Repis's face in his eyes.

"Ah, I'm sorry, sorry, I said some irrelevant things, forgive me." Repis waved her hand and returned to the topic, "Oh, by the way, Ive from Xijing City has heard of the weird rumors circulating in the People's Federation. Is it a rumor—"The People's Federation has discovered some secrets that should not be known to human beings. What they did was not selfish, but a kind of burial, and a sacrifice for a new life."

"I've never heard of such a thing..."

Evenier shook his head frankly, "But since it's a rumor, it's only natural that I haven't heard of it, right?"

"That's true...but I think you, Eve in Xijing City, might come into contact with such rumors at some point," Leipis said, looking at Evenier's right eye, and then moved away, "Because you Possess a strength far beyond the ordinary, then all possibilities will come to you."

"maybe……"

After thinking for a while, Evenier didn't continue this topic, but asked: "Also, what is the 'zero system' you mentioned...? I'm more concerned about this."

The code name J also mentioned the word "Zero Series" in front of Evenier, and the code name J at that time showed some kind of resentment and fear in his eyes.

More importantly, the "Zero Series" may be the key information channel to understand the code name J, and the code name J must also hold relevant information about the apostles, about the code name H, and about the angels, and this is the information that Xijing City needs most at present , is also the key to knowing whether Qinglan and Feiyan can be rescued.

"'Zero series'...it's a bit troublesome to say..."

Repis thought for a while, then looked at Triris.

At this time, Cuilisi had just finished discussing the issue of code exchange with Nami Shino and Linghua Immortal Hara, and they turned their faces sideways.

"I also want to know about this," Ayaka Fushihara interrupted the topic at the right time, put down the paper and pen in his hand, and tapped his fingers on the table twice, "Code-name J seems to be afraid of the so-called 'zero system' you mentioned, so since you know the relevant information, Ms. Rapis, you might as well share it with us. Of course, if you feel troublesome, then we don't intend to ask too much."

After all, Repis is an agent of Suzuta City, and the exchange of information between cities is not that simple. If there is no Renlian to take the lead, then most of the cities will use material transactions in exchange for what they need, including information.

No matter what era it is, helping and being helped is not free. After this battle is over, the People's Federation will send a large amount of supplies or some valuable materials and technologies to Suzuta City. This is what the People's Federation gave them. remuneration.If there is no Renlian, then this "remuneration" should be borne by Xijing City itself.

"No, you misunderstood, Colonel Immortal Hara," Leipis waved his hand, showing a hint of helplessness, "The 'trouble' I said is actually because I don't know where to start with you, but in short,' "Zero Line" is indeed a secret...but... how should I put it, they are actually no different from our agents, except that the beacons they use are rather special."

"That's right, the simple understanding is this, we agents are actually just the lucky ones who have accepted the lost power of the relic civilization - the path we humans are taking now is just to find and inherit the power of the relic. The 'Zero Series' was our initial imitation, and it was also an emulation with all our strength."

Lepis said.

"The beacons they use are different from ours. The 'Zero Series'...is the agent beacon that was put into use at the early stage of the Human Federation's excavation of the relic technology. It is the 'first generation'. The entire People's Federation only has 20 pieces of strategic-level anti-erosion disaster equipment, and it is also the generation closest to the relic beacons among all existing beacons. It can be said that the 'Zero Series' has the power closest to the relic technology, and because of this, it has more stringent requirements for the qualifications of agents. As far as I know, those thirteen 'Zero Series' have very high requirements for users, and even nearly [-] years later, there have never been thirteen 'Zero Series' qualified candidates at the same time in the history of the People's Federation."

"Are these things classified?"

Immortal Hara Linghua said, "Neither of our two commanders told us about it."

"Maybe it's because I don't know, or maybe it's because of other reasons," Lepis looked at Evenier, "In Suzuta City, only a very few people like Triris and I know about this matter."

183. Teresius

"As for the later generation, that is, the 'first generation' that we are currently serving, it is an improved version of the 'Zero Series', or a 'shrunk version' - the People's Federation did not continue its manufacturing process, but tried to lower the standard and expand the number of agents in this way."

Repis took off her beacon and held it in her hand:

"The final result reduces the restrictions on users of beacons. Although it is a 'shrunk version', it has good power. At the same time, the resources and time consumed to manufacture a beacon are greatly reduced. The 'first generation' The birth of the beacon allows each of our cities to have the power to arm themselves."

What Repis said was already anecdotal.

Even Immortal Hara Ayaka and Shino Mi Nami didn't know about it, and the same was true for Efnir, who didn't keep too many files and records about beacons in the headquarters of the Orderer, and only knew about the past of the People's Federation. No words.

Eveniel lowered her eyelashes and fell into thought.

"I don't quite understand," Shino Mi Nami asked, "If it is a very powerful agent, shouldn't such a hero be known to everyone?"

Saying that, Nami Shino looked at Evenier pointedly, "It's better to say that it's not bad to have someone walking in front. Because it's something that should be known by people, why is it concealed?" ? Could there be some other reason for it?"

"Oh hoo? Is this what Miss Shinomi thinks of you as a manager?"

Repis also smiled and cast her eyes on Evenier, "As the idol that my most important person admires, Ive from Xijing City can indeed take on this honor. Although we haven't been together for a long time, I am still so sure. But as Miss Shino Mi Nami said, heroes should be known by others, but if they are not heroes, they lose the value of doing so. It may be a bit confusing to say this, but simply speaking, the "zero system" is not directly Agents stationed in the city rarely appear in the eyes of most people. People's Federation will not do incomprehensible things without consideration, just as People's Federation has never announced in the past The existence of the apostles—is the People’s Federation really ignorant of the apostles? I don’t think so, right? Then if this is the case, can we think there are other reasons for this?”

"Even if you say that, it's hard for us to understand...but in short, things like this probably won't change just because we don't understand them, so it's just as it should be."

"I'm glad you think so. After all, this is beyond the scope of what we should care about." Repis smiled, "But speaking of it, I don't know if you have heard of 'The World Beyond the White Hole' ?”

"'The world beyond the white hole'?" Nami Shino frowned.

Rather, the existence of the "white hole" itself is a symbol of destruction. With it as the center, no place suitable for living creatures can be found within a radius of tens of kilometers. Its high concentration of erosive energy will destroy Any creature that tries to get close burns into a monstrosity more violent than slag.

Abnormally vicious erosions often emerge from white holes.

Because of this, the People's Federation surrounded the white caves with Sakai monuments, and built strong fortresses around them to restrict the infestation of eroding bodies, and kill them on the spot before the eroding bodies fully grown. crusade.

"So, what is the world on the other side? Romantic rhetoric? Or is there something like a 'white hole' that really communicates with the 'other side' world? If my dead soul is going to be sent there If it’s a place, then I can’t laugh.”

Shino saw that Nami's complaints were over, and Evenier looked at Leipis, "Speaking of which, you know a lot of 'rumors'."

"Ha, I won the prize."

Trilith pushed Leipis with her elbow, "Captain, this is not a compliment."

"Well, all in all, I didn't really cross the 'fortress' and ran into the 'white hole' to see it. We can neither touch the 'remains' nor enter the area of ​​the white hole, so I can't directly deny it' There is no such thing', but the only thing I can be sure of is that the 'Zero System' does have the power to sneak into the 'White Hole', and that guy said to me, 'There is another world over there 'In this case."

"Have you ever had contact with 'Zero System'?"

"Captain Lepis was 'invited' once, of course, as an alternate," Triris answered Immortal Ayahara's question, and at the same time looked at Leipis, saying something she knew: "People The Federation believes that people with certain qualifications will receive invitations from the Central Province to join the "Zero Department". This "ability" mainly refers to "eligibility". Repis declined."

"I see. It seems that the People's Federation is not just cultivating its direct forces in the central province, but extending this line to all cities?"

"Even if it is the People's Federation, it is absolutely impossible to rely on the strength of the central province's territory to support such a huge agent network system," said Yuki Xiqi at this time, compared with Lapis and Cuilis. Although Xiqi Yuji doesn't know much about these things, she is indeed a researcher who once worked in the central province. She expressed her opinion: "The People's Federation will integrate talents from other cities. And use this to build the most powerful city fortress, if there is any culture and knowledge closest to the old generation after the old generation, then there is no doubt that only the central province."

"Because the central province is facing the 'white hole' itself, which is fundamentally different from our mission, and the level of threat it faces is naturally not at the same level. Maybe they don't actually regard the apostle as a threat."

Repis paused, and then said, "Otherwise, the supporting troops who came here would not be the second-generation agent and a major general expelled by the Teresius faction."

"Theresius faction...?"

Evenier and the others showed puzzled expressions.

The second-generation agents naturally refer to the Muse team, Kite and others.

And as for the "expelled major general"... who else but Maki Kuo?

This is somewhat surprising, but as the acting commander of the central province going to Xijing City, perhaps there is no problem in saying this.Just like Concubine Masaki who came to Xijing City two years ago, for people like them, coming to Xijing City means "expulsion".

Repis explained: "—the full name is 'Theresianist Union Party', an armed faction that claims to be 'over-progressive' but is actually controlled by a group of sick freaks. 'You only need to know this, and I can't say more about the rest even if you ask me."

184. Invitation

"Is Teresius... active again?"

Immortal Hara Ayaka showed a thoughtful expression.

"After so many years, those guys have not decreased but increased?"

"Well, it's more like a reduction," Repis spread her hands. "Annoying insects will also resist when they are on the verge of extinction—just think about it this way, and you can understand why Teresius suddenly became active again."

"What a strange metaphor."

Unlike Hina Masaki, who was dispatched as the commander, Ayaka Fushihara is a native born and bred, or "a person who has stayed in the Xijing City area since the erosion disaster occurred".Such people accounted for the majority, which also meant that they knew very little about the internal affairs of the Central Province and the People's Federation.

In other words, most people actually have no understanding of the People's Federation.

Earth-shaking changes have taken place in the human society in the old age. Even the survivors of the old generation don’t know much about Renlian. The stele system is in the hands of Renlian. Although the city is nominally under the jurisdiction of Renlian, in fact even this connection is very loose. Most cities operate in their own way and develop independently.

All the People's Federation that Evenier knew was unilaterally instilled information by the People's Federation—and the real headquarters of the People's Federation: Central Province, Avenier had not actually seen it with his own eyes.

This situation is the majority, just like Xijing City and Suzuta City, if there is no special reason, they will not even communicate with each other-the cities of this era are basically completely isolated from each other, let alone the central provinces that are thousands of miles apart.

"If I remember correctly, our Xijing City is actually a city under the jurisdiction of the Teresus political party according to the original division. It's just that it was something that happened when the city was just established more than ten years ago. I'm afraid there are not many people who still remember these things now."

Shino saw Nami spread her hands: "However, in fact, the internal factions of the People's Federation don't matter at all to a small city like ours, right? After all, it's been so long, and it's too far away."

"Maybe," Leipis shook her head, "but most people think so, which means that there are many opportunities to take advantage of. In the past year, the factional struggles within the People's Federation have become less acute, but This does not mean that the two sides suddenly chose to reconcile, but it is more likely to be the calm before the storm."

"Wh...what time is it? The people's union still has the strength to fight," Shino Jian Nami curled her lips, "If you have spare capacity, how about sending more people to support us? It's just that we can take care of food and clothing. But generally speaking, aren’t the small cities below us the least combative?”

"Even if you tell them this kind of thing, it may not reach the ears of those who really care about the future of mankind."

While Repis was talking, Efnir kept watching her thoughtfully.

To be honest, Evenier feels that the current conversation is a bit off track, or in other words, it is all high-spirited talk without much practical value. This has nothing to do with the right or wrong of the topic itself and the choice of value. There is no need to specifically talk about these things in the Crusade Operation Summary".

"Wait a mininute."

Avenir raised his hand and interrupted Lapis: "If possible, we in Xijing City don't want to participate in the struggle within the central province, and this is not something we should consider too much now, so in fact, this kind of There is no need to discuss things too much. Rather, Lepis, you seem to know a lot about the Central Province, have you lived there before?"
