There is something wrong with my infinite flow teammates!

Kitahara Sora froze in the middle of his words, because after his trance he finally turned his attention to the person in front of him.

The girl stared at him with her eyes wide open. The fear in her pupils had not completely dissipated, and there was a slight blush on her face. After all, it was her first time to have such close contact with a man, and he held her in his arms like a princess.

Kitahara Sora looked at the girl who had a 'calm' face but her eyes still showed a mixture of fear and shyness, with extremely complex micro-expressions, and his heart was also extremely confused.

"Did you understand what I just said?"

"that……"

At this moment, Yukino's concerned paging came through the headset. Kitahara Sora looked at Kato Megumi in front of him and fell into deep thought...

Or, just silence him?

0 Section 17 Ten minutes!

"Well, I have Koda-kun, Kamisama-san, and Woods-san here. Komuro-kun, Hisada-san, Aki-san, and Weyland-san should be together... Sebastian-san is also here, he..."

Xueno looked at the archaeologist lying on the ground, who had stopped struggling and only had his head shaking unconsciously. He sighed softly. His face had been completely corroded, and his pale skull was exposed to the air with blood streaks: "Unfortunately, he probably won't make it..."

After that, Yukino fell into a strange silence. She pursed her lips and listened quietly to Kitahara's empty words. Then she looked deeply at Gouda Takeo and Kamisama Aya, her eyes faintly reluctant. After a long time, she slowly said, "Okay... I know, you have to be careful too."

Fortunately, Kitahara Sora had exchanged for a nano wireless headset, which is only slightly larger than a grain of rice. After being put into the ear, it will immediately stick to the ear hole. Therefore, Woods, Gouda Takeo and others could only see Yukino talking to the air, and there was no communication equipment hanging on her ears.

But they, including the characters in the plot, were already used to it. After the call ended, Yukino remained silent. Gouda Takeo sat on the ground, gasping for breath, unable to speak for a while. In fact, he had a very strong physique, and he became like this because he was completely scared.

In his arms he was holding only Kamisama Aya, who had fainted from fright. This burden had been screaming hysterically when the pyramid was deformed just now, and then he lost his breath and fainted.

"He's dying..."

Woods knelt in front of Sebastian with a sad face, and then roared in a low voice with anger: "Damn it, what the hell are these things? Why did such creatures appear in this ruins... My God..."

She turned her head to look at Yukino, her chin trembling uncontrollably. She wanted to speak to vent her anger but stopped herself from saying anything. Because even if they hadn't stopped her group of explorers, they would still have come in. Kitahara Sora did kill one of them, but saved more people. It was a complete accident that Sebastian became like this. She couldn't blame anyone. Now she could only hold back her tears and sob softly.

Yukino turned her head to look at the archaeologist, feeling extremely regretful. The character of Sebastian was actually very important to everyone. Due to limited time in the movie, he only deciphered a part of the hieroglyphs, allowing the audience to understand the origin of the Iron-Blooded Hunting, but this pyramid should have more secrets, so Kitahara Sora specifically asked him if he was okay just now.

Shifting his gaze from the archaeologist's horrified face, he looked up and around. The walls were densely covered with ancient hieroglyphs. There was light on the stone wall, which was the light source transmitted by the energy device at the bottom of the pyramid. The reflective devices everywhere made this place look not completely dark, and the air was sufficient. If the air was only transmitted by the two thousand foot tunnel outside the cave, everyone would at least feel extremely stuffy now.

This is also a BUG in the plot, but the observation room does not seem to intend to deal with this BUG because humans need to breathe.

There is a one-meter-wide gap at the end of the ceiling, just like the ventilation hole of a building. At a glance, it is conservatively estimated to be at least 30 meters away. Even if he uses the flash spell, he cannot climb up. He can only wait for the pyramid to deform again in ten minutes.

If a bunch of face huggers crawl in from there during this time, it would be fatal to everyone now.

Yukino stroked her chin and began to ponder. Then, as if she suddenly thought of something, her eyes lit up and she suddenly looked up at the archaeologist who was already on the verge of death.

She turned on the communicator again, and after obtaining Beiyuan Kong's consent, she flipped her palm and a golden ball with a faint glow appeared in her palm. The dark space was illuminated, and the candle-like light was as dazzling as a small sun in the dark space.

Evolution core, there are two in Beiyuan Kong’s ring and one in his own ring.

In order to prevent accidents, this thing can save the life of a new team member, but I don't know if it has any effect on the characters in the plot. Miyamoto Rei's core was given to the lieutenant general of the base, but he did not evolve, but we have to give it a try.

"What is this?" Looking at the metal sphere emitting a faint golden light, Woods' eyes were full of curiosity in surprise. Takeo Goda also stopped breathing heavily and glanced over.

"Something that can save lives." Yukino handed the core to Woods and said softly, "Don't have too high expectations. I don't know if it will work for people in your world. Please put it in Mr. Sebastian's hands."

"People from our world..." Woods savored Yukino's words, his gaze slowly turning from surprise to determination. He nodded gently, pried open the archaeologist's hand, and placed the core in his palm.

The three of them stared intently at Sebastian's hand holding the core, only to see the core lying quietly in his hand without any effect. It was not until a minute later that Yukino shook her head regretfully and prepared to put the core back into the ring. However, as soon as she had this thought, her pupils suddenly widened and she looked at Sebastian in disbelief. Why did he have such an effect...

The core suddenly burst into a dazzling light, then turned into a pool of golden liquid, which merged into Sebastian's palm. His entire body instantly turned golden, and returned to normal after a second. After the light dissipated, he suddenly struggled violently, and blood slowly moved from his neck to his face, which was left with only white bones. Blood vessels and muscle tissue spread from the skin of his neck like branches and vines, covering his face...

"my God……"

Woods stared blankly at this miraculous scene, his eyes constantly switching between Sebastian and Yukino, and said in a daze: "This is definitely not something that technology can do, you..."

"He's very lucky, Miss Woods." Xueno smiled faintly: "It will take about thirty minutes to fully repair it. This thing is very precious, so..."

But before Yukino could finish her words, she was interrupted by an ear-piercing scream. Kamisama Aya slowly raised her eyelids due to the illumination of the core light. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw such a horrifying and weird scene that this female white-collar worker was so frightened that she lost her soul. After losing her mind in an instant, she struggled violently in Gouda Takeo's arms.

The piercing and crackling scream was at least over 100 decibels, which scared everyone present. Yukino even felt her scalp tingling instantly!

"Ms. Kamisama, please stop immediately."

“Ah~~Yeah~~”

"Goda-san covered her..."

"what--"

"Oh!"

'Pavna Witness' The muzzle of the gun was emitting a whistling smoke. Kamisama Aya lowered her voice. Her pupils lost their luster at this moment. There was an extra bullet hole on the stone wall behind her. Gotada Takeo also stopped trying to comfort him. Cold sweat ran down his forehead. He stared blankly at the girl of the same grade who had a cold face. Suddenly, he felt a warmth in his lower body. A strange fishy smell entered his nose. The white-collar lady in his arms was frightened and became incontinent.

"And next time, I will put you out of your pain. I want to live, so please believe that I can do it, Miss Kamisama."

Yukino expressionlessly put the pistol back into the ring. Although her expression was cold, she had tried very hard to suppress her inner anger. There was also a trace of helplessness in her heart. She finally understood Kitahara Sora's inner thoughts. Some people are really hopeless. If they cannot adapt quickly in this world, they will only be eliminated.

It's okay for them to kill themselves, but the most worrying thing is that they will implicate others. Just now, for a moment, Yukino did want to kill, but she didn't do it in the end. Maybe it's because she can never be an indifferent person, or maybe it's because of the punishment mechanism?

A violent friction sound came from all directions, the ground under my feet began to tremble, and the stone wall in front of me began to move. Ten minutes had passed.

Yukino gathered her thoughts and turned on the communicator to contact Kitahara Sora. After the two finished communicating, they said to the people behind them, "I will go meet up with the captain first, and then we will come back to find you. Ms. Woods, please take good care of Mr. Sebastian and don't waste our hard work."

"Goda-san..."

As Goda Takeo was dragging the dazed Kamisama Aya to get up, he stood at attention immediately when he heard Yukino calling his name, and shouted with full force: "Ah, yes!"

But Yukino's next words made him lose his momentum, and his disbelieving eyes revealed great astonishment.

"Please stay and look after Miss Woods. Your own safety is the top priority. As for Miss Uesuga... you can give up if necessary."

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

In the closed stone chamber, Kitahara Sora looked at Kato Megumi who had a 'calm' expression and fell into long thought.

During this time, the girl called his name several times in a gentle and clear voice. She tried calling him captain, Kitahara classmate, senior, and so on. She tried to communicate with this fierce-looking leader cautiously, but the other party did not respond to her and remained silent...

Kitahara Sora was very puzzled. Why did he hug the wrong person?

She and Yukino have different weights, heights, and even body odors. Yukino has a faint fragrance similar to lavender. This fragrance is not a synthetic fragrance from shampoo or other compounds, but a special smell secreted by the lipids and sugars in a girl's body during metabolism. Kitahara Sora doesn't understand this aspect very well, maybe it's the legendary 'virgin fragrance'.

And Kato Megumi clearly felt a faint scent of jasmine the moment he picked her up. There is actually a big difference between the two of them.

But why didn't I notice it? Maybe it was because the situation was urgent and I was in a trance after being sealed in the stone chamber, so I didn't notice it.

Because Kitahara Sora could never imagine why Kato Megumi would take the initiative to grab his clothes. There was almost no communication between them. Kitahara Sora forced her out with a gun when they first met. Later, he killed someone in front of everyone. So the impression he gave her was definitely that of a vicious "bad guy".

Although he didn't notice where the woman was hiding when he killed her, she definitely saw it. No one would believe that she could understand or remain calm after seeing this scene. She was only sixteen years old, a good girl who had never seen blood since she was a child. It was really strange that she could remain calm after seeing the murder scene up close.

Even Kitahara Sora had imagined that she would sneak away and be killed by Tiexue or captured and put on the altar, but this girl not only did not escape, but also followed everyone into the pyramid, and was always not far away from him? In fact, she was always by his side?

When the pyramid was deformed, the ground was shaking and trembling. She lost her balance and almost fell down, so she subconsciously grabbed her clothes? Kato Megumi actually didn't expect that he would suddenly pick her up?

What the hell!

This girl's stealth ability is so terrifying!

Kitahara Sora looked at Kato Megumi, the heroine of the light novel, with a complicated expression.

Her eyes were large, bright and penetrating. Occasionally they blinked, as if they could speak. A closer look revealed a sly and intelligent light. It was as if these eyes could take in everything in the world, and all things could be perceived and understood by them. It seemed that after being scanned by these eyes, nothing was a secret.

Under the round, straight and cute little nose, the soft lips glow with a pink luster even in the dim environment. The lip line is softer than Yukino's, making her look approachable and giving people a gentle feeling.

The whole face looks ordinary, but if you look at it carefully, you will find a stunning beauty... This is Saint Hui!

"Um...Captain, please don't look at me like that."

Under the impolite gaze, Kato Megumi's eyes flickered and a blush rose on her cheeks, but she remained expressionless. Her tone seemed a little awkward, but her delicate and soft voice did not have any ups and downs: "If someone looks at me like this, even I would feel very shy..."

Ugh……

Kitahara Sora sighed helplessly. This little sister is too cute. He can't kill her. This world may be too cruel to Kato Megumi. How do the observers choose their people? Should he bring in a seven or eight-year-old little Loli next time?

"Tell me what you really think in your heart, don't hold back." Kitahara Sora shook off the messy thoughts in his heart and asked Kato Megumi seriously: "Why did you choose to believe me? Why didn't you run away? You should have seen me kill someone, so why are you still following me?"

Kitahara Sora's words made Kato Megumi stunned. The shy blush on her face had not yet faded, but her body began to tremble slightly. She recalled all the magical experiences that had happened in the past few hours. After all, the nature of a little girl could not be hidden.

She stared at Kitahara Sora for a long time before she spoke: "At first I thought I was kidnapped, but then I thought my family wasn't very rich, so I wouldn't be the target of the kidnappers. After careful consideration, I felt that being sent to the warehouse together was not something a human could accomplish. It wasn't until the captain and Yukinoshita-senpai came in that I confirmed my guess."

Kato Megumi couldn't understand why she suddenly came to this place while in class at school, and she joined everyone's discussion. Her classmate Aki Tomoya also made various incredible guesses, but she still couldn't be sure.

Until Kitahara Sora and Yukino entered, she instinctively felt that danger was coming, so she hid quietly. Because this girl's mind was more delicate than anyone else present, she noticed that Kitahara Sora was not as surprised as everyone else. He seemed to take this for granted. The eyes are the windows to the soul, but she did not find any doubts or confusion in Kitahara Sora's pupils.

So she immediately guessed that Kitahara Sora was the mastermind behind this incident. The reason she hid was that she wanted to see the specific situation. Even if she encountered an unexpected situation, she would not be the first person to be in danger.

Until the arrival of Yukinoshita Yukino and the sight of her performing a 'spell' similar to magic that did not exist in reality, Kato Megumi had actually already vaguely guessed that she was involved in an incredible disaster. Later, when Kitahara Sora asked everyone to introduce themselves, and began to introduce the details, Kato Megumi had actually already believed it.

It was not until the beginning of the story that they put on thick winter clothes and went out to find that they had indeed arrived in Antarctica. This made Kato Megumi's heart pounding for a long time, but she didn't show it on her face.

"Well... I was actually scared too. I almost hid when I saw the captain kill that blonde woman." Kato Megumi slowly lowered her head, her tone sounding a little sad: "But if she hadn't pointed a gun at Yukinoshita-senpai, the captain wouldn't have killed her."

"If that yellow-haired delinquent hadn't said anything rude to the captain, Yukinoshita-senpai wouldn't have hurt him, so I guess that as long as they don't make the wrong choice, the captain and Yukinoshita-senpai won't take the initiative to hurt anyone."

Kato Megumi lowered her eyes: "So, I guessed that the captain shouldn't be the kind of pervert who enjoys killing people... Ah! Sorry..." She raised her head and said with a hint of apology, as if she was afraid of offending Kitahara Sora: "In fact, I have always believed in you. It seems that I have indeed been involved in an incredible incident."

"Besides, when I told myself to trust the captain, I decided to follow the captain no matter what, because, because..." She mustered up the courage to look back at Kitahara Sora, her calm expression revealing determination and tenacity: "Because even if the captain is terrible, I still want to live!"

Kitahara Sora stared at Kato, who looked a little flustered, with a complicated look in his eyes. This girl is indeed a good candidate. Like Yukino, she is a very smart and thoughtful girl. She is also very tough inside. She can quickly accept the facts and abandon unrealistic fantasies. She has a strong desire to survive. Even if she is afraid, she will force herself to follow. If she can grow up, she should be helpful to her team.

But his inner thoughts were suddenly interrupted as he heard Yukino's page and inquiry through the earphone. Kitahara Sora began to think and replied after a moment. After closing the communication, Kitahara Sora hesitated for a moment, then flipped his palm and a sphere emitting a faint golden light appeared in his palm.

He grabbed Kato Kei's slender wrist and put the golden ball into her hand.

"Hold it tight."

Kato Megumi didn't understand the meaning of the man's sudden action, but she still followed the instructions and clenched the ball in her palm.

But after a moment, she stared at Beiyuan Kong with wide eyes, and was extremely surprised. Because she heard that strange voice in her mind again, but this time it was asking her whether to fuse the core?

Evolution core, what kind of item is that?

"Don't fuse it for now. Keep it well. This thing can save your life. Even if you lose most of your body, as long as it comes into contact with your body before you become completely brain dead, it can completely repair your body within half an hour."

"Eh?"

Is this true? But he doesn't have to lie!

Kato Megumi stared blankly at the golden sphere in her hand, with a hint of helplessness in her calm eyes. She shifted her gaze to Kitahara Sora's serious face and asked in surprise: "Captain, can you really give me such a valuable item? Um... am I qualified?"

"Yukino and I have already used this thing once. It didn't work on us. You are not qualified yet. You need to complete this mission alive to be qualified. I gave you the core only because you are very similar to Yukino. It's not about your personality, but your mentality..."

Kitahara Sora shook his head and said nothing more.

The core is actually not expensive, one for one thousand points. Giving it to Kato Megumi is a gamble. This thing was originally prepared for new teammates. At least her mentality is worth cultivating.

There were three cores as rewards for the last mission. The one given to Yukino was used on a plot character. The archaeologist was of great significance to this mission. There must be some secrets hidden in the pyramid, perhaps related to the side quest, so using the core on him was a gamble.

I originally planned to give these two to Komuro Takashi or Gouda Takeo. These two people are definitely not bad people. There is no doubt about their character. In comparison, Komuro Takashi should be better than Takeo. Giving them to Kato Megumi was a sudden decision. This girl is too talented. It can be said that her presence is almost zero. If she can survive, she will definitely be of great help to the team...

At this time, the sound of stones rubbing against each other was heard again, the pyramid began to move, and Yukino's voice came from the headset.

After a brief exchange with her, Kitahara Sora took out a rifle from the ring and handed it to Kato Megumi. The sudden weight made her arms sink in surprise. "This is the safety. You can only shoot after opening it. Press the butt of the rifle against your shoulder, otherwise it will easily dislocate your shoulder. Bullets from the Iron Blood armor should not be able to penetrate, but they are effective against aliens and face huggers, so be prepared to face death, Miss Kato Megumi."

Then Kitahara Sora turned around and stepped out of the stone gate, his body suddenly stopped, and he suddenly felt a chill rising in his heart. He almost subconsciously pushed away Kato Megumi who was following him, and then immediately twisted his body, his pupils turned blood red, and he entered combat mode.

I saw a long, dark tail spike stuck into the wall next to his chest. The 30-centimeter-thick stone wall was as fragile as tofu and shattered in an instant under the impact of this steel-like tail spike. If I hadn't pushed her away just now, the two of them would have been stabbed together by this tail!

The sneak attack failed, but the tail thorn did not stop. After the sneak attack failed, it immediately swung towards Kitahara Kong's chest with an invincible momentum!

There was a crisp sound of iron clashing, and the sharp spike at the tip of the tail, which was emitting a cold glow, hit Bei Yuankong's dagger. The huge force instantly flew him several meters away, and countless cracks were created on the stone wall.

Just at the moment when Beiyuan landed, a grenade flew towards the attacker.

A violent explosion sounded, and a terrifying shadow emerged from the smoke and ash.

It was a strange creature with limbs similar to those of a primate. Its entire body was covered in pitch-black bone armor. Its long, oblong head was unusually strong, and its oval-shaped brain extended to its back. Its coccyx was connected to a black bone tail that was as thick as an adult's arm and about two meters long.

There are no eyes on the strange head, but under the hard skull are ferocious sharp teeth, and there is a retractable mouthpart in its open bloody mouth. Obviously, the explosion just now did not cause any substantial damage to it. Instead, it roared as if it was enraged, and its inner and outer mouths opened and roared at the same time. Both fatal attacks were dodged as if it had been greatly provoked, and the prey dared to fight back, which made it even more angry with its extraordinary intelligence!

Its powerful hind legs suddenly exerted force to crush the stone platform it had just been standing on, and the alien flew into the air, pouncing on its prey at an extremely fast speed!

Fierce gunfire rang out, and tongues of flame illuminated the originally dark passage.

ten minutes!

If there hadn't already been an alien in the pyramid, it would have taken less than ten minutes for this alien to grow from a juvenile to an adult!

After being suddenly pushed down by Kitahara Sora, Kato Megumi struggled to get up. Due to the urgency of the situation, he just used brute force to push the girl behind him, causing her forehead to hit the ground inside the stone chamber violently, breaking her skin and bleeding slowly.

She staggered out of the stone chamber with tears in her eyes due to the pain. When she raised her head at the door, she was stunned by the scene in front of her. Her pupils suddenly contracted, filled with extreme fear. Her whole body trembled uncontrollably and her mind went blank.

Although Kitahara Sora and Yukino had described the appearance of this monster to everyone before, for a little girl, seeing the impact of this monster with her own eyes was already considered good enough not to scare her into unconsciousness.

She saw the pitch-black monster, with a roar and a destructive force, rushing towards Beiyuan Kong in the passage. This scene made her feel as if she was about to suffocate.

Kato Megumi picked up the fallen rifle and held it tightly in her arms.
