About becoming a magical girl

"Is this Xue Nai's?"

Evanil frowned.

"I remember... when I was tested last time, it was only after seven o'clock, and I don't know why."

Xue Nai replied, not lying.

In order to achieve a unified and effective management of the infected population, residents living in the city are required to inspect and count the erosion rate every year, but every city is very strict in this regard.

Eveniel Snow remembered that Nai had been attacked by a erosive body a year ago, so the erosion rate had already reached [-]%, and since then it has remained stable at this level without changing for a long time.

"I tested it twice, and there is no problem. This is Xue Nai's real result. As for what and when her erosion rate will increase, I don't know, and Xue Nai doesn't seem to have a clue."

Yuki Xiqi glanced at Xue Nai, and continued.

"But it won't help if these things get entangled now. As you know, Evenier, generally speaking, the erosion rate should be kept below 5.00% to be considered normal. If it exceeds [-]%, you need to be vigilant."

If it exceeds fifty, it will be accompanied by a very high risk of turning into "residue", which needs to be isolated and closely observed. Once it is found that the body's functions are rapidly declining and turning into a residue, it will be killed immediately. In that era long ago, these people Known as the "numberer".

Since human beings united to perfect the Sakai stele system and gradually implemented it, and the city was established, the title of "numberer" was banned.

But the "Numbers" did not disappear without a single one left, but the number was reduced to a certain level, and it was no longer enough to pose a huge threat, and became a controllable research object.They are centralized and controlled in some specialized institutional facilities, and researchers are still studying them tirelessly, in order to obtain other means of combating erosion.

In the central province of human union, there are still many laboratories related to these people.

"Your sister's situation can't be taken lightly, but don't worry too much. She has been co-tuned before, so she can be regarded as a half-agent after all, as long as she pays more attention to it in the future, it will not be a problem."

Yuki Xiqi said.

60. Cracks

The erosion rate is a standard index to measure the degree of alienation of the human body. Being attacked and infected by the erosion body, inhaling the air alienated by the erosion body during the disaster, or leaving the city to the occupied area outside Sakai without the protection of the Sakai monument, and being exposed to the erosion of the white hole, these reasons will lead to an increase in the erosion rate.

And once the erosion rate goes up, it never goes down.

Except for surrogates.The agent has enough power to resist erosion. Even if she is infected during the battle, as long as she is not completely degenerated into "residue", the erosion rate in her body will gradually drop to a safe range if she is given enough time to recuperate.

If Xue Nai is an ordinary person, an erosion rate of more than ten percent is indeed worthy of vigilance, but for an agent, even if this value reaches 20.00% or even 30.00% at a higher value, it is commonplace.

Shiina Rin (Fulan) is one of them. She lost her coherence in the battle and was attacked by the erosion body, so the erosion rate was as high as 60.00%.

At present, she is still recuperating in this hospital, and the ward is upstairs.

In contrast, it only takes a week or two for Xue Nai's erosion rate of more than ten percent to return to normal levels. Xiqi Yuji has seen many cases like Xue Nai's, and knows that the agent is not afraid of this level of infection.

"Is it because the coherence was attacked by the erosive body before..."

Efnir frowned, and tightly held Xue Nai's hand.

Xue Nai told her that when she was looking for her "brother" and came to the lounge, she saw a strangely eroded body. Xue Nai had no memory of it after that, and the big guy disappeared completely when she woke up again.

Confusion must have occurred during the first coherence. Perhaps Xue Nai was attacked by the erosive body before that and accidentally triggered the coherence state. It is reasonable to have no relevant memories.

"My guess is similar to yours, so don't worry too much. She just needs to take a good rest and recover soon."

"Well... No matter what, I will protect her."

He was noncommittal about Xiqi Yuji's comfort.

Perhaps from Xiqi Yuji’s point of view, she who often comes into contact with highly eroded agents will naturally not be worried about the erosion rate of more than 20.00%, but for Evenier, Xue Nai is the only younger sister, and the erosion rate of more than [-]% has reached more than [-]% of the safety line. The closer to [-], the more dangerous Xue Nai is.

Good luck cannot always come, and it is very unreliable to pin your hopes on luck. If Xue Nai is hurt because of her own negligence, Avenier will never forgive herself.

……

------------

Nishiki Yuki seemed to read Evenier's inner thoughts from her eyes, shook his head and sighed.

She and Evenier have known each other for more than a year. She is a logistics medical staff, and Avenier is a frontline combatant. They have given absolute trust to each other, and there is no doubt that they are each other's important friends.

But until today, after she saw the confession published on Avenier's account, she suddenly realized that she didn't know Avenier as well as she thought.

Maybe, Evenier doesn't really understand her either.

An inexplicable feeling surged in her chest. For her, this feeling was indescribable, but it did exist.

"Is there any other way?"

Avenir's voice interrupted Nishiki Yuki's thoughts.

She paused and replied:

"There are some, but as you know, Evenier, these methods are not low-risk. I think it's better not to take risks in the case of Chennai... If you want a foolproof conservative treatment plan, maybe It's still hard, as far as I know, even those guys in the central province can't do it."

Human research on erosion has never stopped, but even so, there is no way to reduce a person's erosion rate.

This is an insoluble crisis that all mankind has been facing for a long time.

Only the agent is special, but there must be a huge price to be paid to speed up the self-clearing rate of its erosion rate, and except for extreme cases like Rin Shiina (Fu Lan), few people will choose to do so.

Evanil is naturally aware of this kind of thing, she lowered her gaze, was silent for a moment, and sighed.

"It seems that we can only wait..."

Efnir is not good at waiting, because waiting means the passage of time, and it means the sudden arrival of an accident. Putting hope in passivity, like entrusting one's destiny to others, is undoubtedly powerless and helpless.

But now she has no other choice.

Yuki Xiqi is a very authoritative physician and one of the top researchers here. She is very clear about the latest progress of various researches in the academic world, and Evenier has no doubts about what she said.

"elder sister."

At this moment, Xue Nai spoke softly, and Efnir turned her head to meet a pair of clear eyes.

Xue Nai was looking at her, pursing her lips and smiling slightly.

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

There was a soft touch from the back of the hand, and Xue Nai's fingertips carefully climbed onto Evenier's hands.

She took a light breath, reviewing her prepared remarks.

"It's just that the erosion rate has increased a little bit. I will recover soon. Didn't my sister ask me to consider whether to accept 'Fifina' and become an agent? In this case..."

"It doesn't matter if you think about it more carefully."

Avenir interrupted Xue Nai's words, and held Xue Nai's hand back.

"You have resonated once, and there is a surplus of power of order left in your body. Although you can't mobilize it without a beacon, it is still more than enough to use it to clean up the erosion in your body. You don't need to make a decision on that right away. .”

Xue Nai froze for a moment, wanting to say something, but seeing that Avenier seemed unwilling to mention more, she swallowed the words again.

Nishiki Yuki saw the respective expressions of Avenier and Xue Nai.

Having been in contact with Evenier for so long, she knows her friend's character well.For Evenier, no matter what choice Xue Nai makes, she will be sad, and she cannot calmly let Xue Nai take a step forward, so Avenier chose to let herself step back.

Of course, Evenier is not a weak person who is used to shrinking back. On the contrary, among the agents of Xijing City, Avenier is the well-deserved chief, and she has always been the one who stands in the front when facing erosion disasters.

In the past, Yuki Xiqi had wondered why Avenier was different from other agents.

In fact, agents will have more or less severe psychological trauma, which is no different from those soldiers who have been withdrawn from the battlefield.

In order to fill or cure this "hidden disease", Yuki Xiqi and other psychologists will do their best to provide psychological counseling and treatment for them.

But... the battle will not stop, such trauma will only continue to corrode the agents' hearts, turning into "cracks", and becoming the last straw that crushes them in high-intensity battles.

Most of those who couldn't bear it, made mistakes in battle due to fluctuations in their mental state and died before their heartstrings were completely broken.

The few who survived the serious injuries also lost the strength to fight again, and retired from the position of agent.

As for the remaining people, their "cracks" still exist, but their psychology will gradually evolve a sign similar to "self-protection" or "passivation", which is regarded as a line of defense against the "cracks". They are strengthened unconsciously. From outsiders' perspective, they are no different from ordinary people, but Yuki Xiqi, as the doctor of these girls, will never overlook some details that others ignore.

The most intuitive and obvious ones, such as Fengling Shiyin (Fifina), showed her deep fascination and longing for Evenier. In the eyes of outsiders, it is like a feeling and obsession like admiration. This kind of feeling cannot be summed up by the simple word "love", but it does exist.

Saori Uzuki (Lily) and Rin Shiina (Furan) are also similar. They are also orphans who came out of the orphanage. They have been inseparable since they met. Yuki Xiqi really saw their attachment to each other from their eyes. So after Rin Shiina was infected, the organization intentionally or unintentionally transferred Saori Uzuki’s attack mission to other agents. This is also the opinion given by Yuki Xiqi and other doctors.

For these agents, people who are probably close to them are easy to become the objects of their sustenance.

But Evenier is different. Xiqi Yuji has never found the "crack" in Evenier. She is brave and optimistic, strong and rational, and nothing seems to be her hindrance or fetter.

Therefore, in his spare time and spare time, Yuki Xiqi would often find Evenier, chat with Avenier, and quietly listen to her talking about her sister. As a physician, Yuki Xiqi needed to pay close attention to the psychological state of the most powerful agent, and they became friends because of this.

But today's Efnir is very abnormal, just like a different person, especially when it comes to Shiomi Xuena, the invincible Efnir is gone.

Xiqi Yuki was keenly aware of that subtle strangeness, and she finally realized that this was where Evenier's "crack" was - her younger sister, Shiomi Yukina.

It was both intuition and non-intuition.

Just like when I have been quietly accompanying Evenier all this time, watching Evenier showing off her sister with a smile, probably for Evenier, the concern for Xue Nai has long been unknown. Since then, it has slowly changed, becoming something that Avenier is unwilling to face, but Aveniel is still deceiving himself to avoid it.

61. Past events

Evenier is not without "cracks", the key lies in her younger sister, Shiomi Yukina, otherwise there is no way to explain Avenir's unusualness.

After thinking about it, Yuki Xiqi became more and more convinced of this guess.

Silently lowering his gaze, Yuki Nishiki felt emotional and happy that he had finally taken another step on the road to understanding Evenier, but at the same time, he also felt an unspeakable loss.

This strange feeling surprised her, she didn't want to think about it too much, she smoked a cigarette, lit it, the blue smoke turned into silk, gradually rose, and was blown away by the cool air of the air conditioner.

Evenier and Xue Nai said something again, but Nishiki Yuki didn't deliberately listen to it. Then, Avenier cast his eyes on her, seeing that she was smoking again, his eyes wavered slightly, but he didn't say anything.

"By the way, Evenier, besides the change in Xue Nai's erosion rate, you should have other discoveries, right?"

The worry in my heart couldn't be wiped away, but now is not the time to think wildly, and after a little silence, Xiqi Yuji suddenly asked.

"There are also changes in the level of power of order."

Xiqi Yuki knocked off the burnt soot, and took out another document from his side.

"Yeah, as a quasi-agent who is coordinating for the first time, her stats are a bit too high."

"Could it be this reason? Uncontrollable resonance or something?"

"I don't think so, Xue Nai has no trace of using the beacon."

Yuki Xiqi denied it.

"Also, that's not what I want to talk about. It's not reliable enough to explain Xue Nai's abnormality based on this alone. Agents with high fitness will indeed have a higher retention rate of the power of order. This is not without precedent. Evenier, I heard that you have a very high fitness for 'Ephnel'. I don't know if my guess is right. This should be one of the reasons why they finally made an exception and chose you to become 'Ephnel'."

Generally speaking, the degree of fitness needs to reach a certain level to qualify as an agent. Agents in Xijing City generally have similar levels of fitness. Apart from this, the only special cases are Qinglan and Avenier. Qinglan is extremely low, while Avenier is extremely high. The two are two completely different extremes.

The degree of fitness is an index to measure the "talent" of a qualified person acting as an agent. The higher the degree of fitness, the more he can mobilize the power of order at will. For example, Evenier can concentrate the power of order on a part of the body to greatly increase the level of strengthening. This is something that few other people can do, or no one can do it like Evenier.

This is an innately determined difference that cannot be made up by hard work alone, just like only some people have the qualifications to become agents, which is very unfair in a sense.

"...you can think of it that way."

Evenier didn't deny it.

At this moment, Evenier's cell phone vibrated suddenly, and someone called.

Evenier took out his mobile phone and glanced at it, then he was slightly taken aback, and said to Yuki Xiqi:

"Sorry, Yuki, I'm sorry."

"Please."

Evenier opened the door with his mobile phone and left.

Coming to the corridor, Evenier found a quiet corner and connected the phone.

"Hey?"

A warm and pleasant female voice came from the opposite side, which was a voice that Avenier and Xue Nai were very familiar with.

Evenier pursed her lips and lowered her voice.

"mom."

Hearing Yanase Naoto's voice, there was a burst of happy laughter from the other side.

In this fragmented era, human beings united to divide several countries according to their regions. Evenier's parents left this city and this continent very early, and went to the other end of the sea.

In the past two years, they would call each other two or three times a month. Just as Avenier missed them, they also missed their son and adopted daughter very much.
