However, this should be true, so why is there suddenly a so-called disciplinary action?Secret agents were even sent to capture her.

Liaozi seemed to be aware of Dizhi's doubts and continued:

[…Most people said it should be handled as a special case.But the punishment issued is punishment──eight/nine times out of ten, there is some kind of force behind it. 】

"...DEM Club."

Needless to say, this must be the work of DEM Club, and Origami had a slight chill in her eyes.

This group of people is really haunting and even comes to trouble them all the time.

【...】

Liaozi didn't respond─but her silence was the best answer.

【──Anyway, I plan to try to negotiate with the higher-ups later.You do it now──】

"Found it! Here it is!"

At that moment, a man appeared on the road ahead, blocking Origami's path.It’s hard to imagine that Origami will be ahead of its time. I’m afraid there are other people involved from the beginning.

"...!"

As a last resort, I had to take the small road - but there was a dead end ahead.Origami was immediately forced to the wall.

"You really cost us a lot of trouble, Sergeant Yuanyi. Your punishment has been decided, come with us."

The man who seemed to be the captain walked forward, stared at Origami and said.Origami didn't respond to his words, but rolled her eyes to observe the situation around her.Front, rear, above, left and right──but there is no way to completely get rid of these people.

If there were individual soldier display devices for combat, it would be useless no matter how many of these people came.

Unfortunately, the other party must have thought of this, so they came to capture Origami when he was not at the base.As for Origami, who has no display device, although he is not weak in physical fitness and fighting skills, the opponent must be armed with a gun, and Origami will definitely lose in a fight.

In the final analysis, although Origami is a strong person among ordinary people, he is not strong enough to deal with a large number of gun-wielding enemies without using a manifestation device.

Perhaps sensing Origami's thoughts, the captain-level man snorted.

"Don't waste your efforts. Without a manifestation device, even the so-called ace cannot avoid bullets. If you don't want to get hurt, just go ahead and capture him."

"Well......"

Origami glared at the man angrily, and the phone in her hand suddenly vibrated.Someone called.It seemed that he had accidentally cut off the call while trying to escape from the men, so Ryouko must have called again.

Maybe we can get some new information from her mouth.Origami stared at the men cautiously, without looking at the screen, she fumbled with her fingers to press the call button, and brought the phone close to her ear.

However-

【──Hello?Is this the mobile phone of Sergeant Tobiichi Origami? 】

What came from the other end of the phone was an unexpected voice.

"...! Isaac Ray Pelham Westcott?"

Origami frowned and called that name.Westcott──Founder of DEM.

Of course, Origami doesn't know this yet. She only knows that the other party is the executive director, a senior person in DEM Club, and that Allen is even his secretary.

Perhaps because of hearing that name, the secret agent man in front of him twitched his eyebrows slightly, but he made no move to arrest anyone.

"What's the matter with you?"

[Don’t be so harsh in your tone, Staff Sergeant Yuan Yi. 】

Perhaps sensing some hostility in Origami's tone, Westcott said in a brisk tone.

Although he couldn't see the other party's appearance, Origami could somehow imagine that the other party must have a cheerful smile on his face now, the kind that didn't deserve a beating.

However, it is natural that Origami's tone is harsh. It is precisely because DEM interfered and was about to be severely punished. It is difficult for Origami not to be hostile to Westcott.

But Westcott showed no ill will towards Origami, and just continued in a very brisk tone:

[Let me get straight to the point - Staff Sergeant Yuan Yi, are you willing to be my subordinate? 】

"......What does it mean?"

Hearing the unexpected words, Origami frowned in confusion.

[It means literally.Are you willing to join the second execution department of DEMIndustry?I promise to treat you more favorably than you do now in all aspects. 】

"──I don't intend to assist organizations that will harm Chen Ling."

【You don’t need to worry about this.Regarding that man, our current policy is to not aggressively attack him. 】

It sounds so nice, but in fact it is currently unbeatable, so we can only wait for the development of new weapons.

"...Ha, it's just that I can't beat him. Is it possible that you still dare to provoke Chen Ling now?"

After Origami finished speaking, Westcott's smile remained unchanged, and he even sighed hypocritically.

[Indeed, I do not deny your statement.However, there is nothing we can do about him, but it seems you can still intervene.Isn't it? 】

As soon as these words came out, Origami's anger suddenly surged, but before she could speak, Westcott continued.

[I might as well tell you that that man is now taking the elves to chase new elves. He doesn’t know what you are doing, and you don’t have time to contact him.There is no doubt that you are in dire straits now.If you are caught now and your memory is erased later, you will permanently lose the ability to fight against the elves, and you may even forget that man. 】

"!!!"

After hearing what Westcott said, Origami's eyes became sharp, even full of anger.

Origami never thought that she would be so angry after that day.

This man really deserves a beating!

"...He's going to come and save me."

[I believe that he will definitely come to save you after knowing this.But can he make it in time?Okay, assuming he can save you in time this time, what about next time?What about next time?Unless you leave AST and completely join 'Ratatosk', you will always be attacked by our side. 】

[However, if you join 'Ratatosk', you will completely lose the opportunity for revenge.After all, you know Ratatosk's course of action.They just want to save the world, and killing elves or anything like that is out of the question. 】

"..."

Origami was silent. In fact, this was the reason why she hadn't joined Ratatosk yet.

Obviously, as long as he joins 'Ratatosk', he will be free from the influence of the DEM Club, and he can continue to maintain the theory of the manifestation device. He can even get closer to Chenrei Shiori, and he may even live in the Itsuka family.Although she would definitely not like living with a group of elves too much, if she could live with Chen Ling Shizhi, then everything else would be a trivial matter.

However, even though there are so many benefits, Origami still hasn't mentioned joining 'Ratatosk'. Even though Chen Ling and Kotori have hinted at her, and even Mana has told her about it before, Origami still hasn't mentioned it. No intention of joining.

The reason is actually as Westcott said.Joining 'Ratatosk' has many benefits, but it completely loses the opportunity for revenge.

If the original fire was really caused by Kotori, then Origami might really give up her hatred because of Chen Ling and Shizhi, but since Chen Ling said it was not Kotori's fault, then she would naturally not give up revenge.

But now comes the problem. As long as she doesn't join 'Ratatosk' for a day, she will always be retaliated by Westcott.As the other party said, maybe Chen Ling can save her before her memory is washed away, but what about next time?What about next time?

Origami cannot guarantee this.After all, how can you guard against thieves for a thousand days?

Westcott was in need of beatings, but everything he said hit the target of Origami.

"DEM Industry has many high-performance CR-Units that are unmatched by other countries. Even the CR-Unit of 'Ratatosk' is no better than ours. And this is enough to give you the power to take revenge."

"..."

Origami continued to remain silent, but the silence already showed that she was struggling in her heart.Otherwise, given her temperament, she would usually refuse with a blank expression.

【──Oh, by the way, I remembered something.Five years ago, a fire hit Nanjia Town, Tengu City.At that time, multiple spiritual wave reactions were detected at the scene.Of course, that is DEM's extremely confidential information──if you become a magician in the Second Executive Department, there is no harm in letting you know. 】

"What—"

Origami's eyes widened and she held her breath.

Multiple spiritual wave reactions.That confirmed what Chen Ling said.

Shizhi's sister, Chen Ling's woman, 'Efreet' Wuhe Kotori.Origami used to regard the flame elf as his murderer and has been hunting him down to this day.

However, Chen Ling told her that there were other elves present at the scene - Kotori was not Origami's murderer.

And Westcott's words at this time undoubtedly proved that what Chen Ling said was true!

Yes, even though Origami said before that she believed in Chen Ling's words, she couldn't completely believe it without actual evidence.As for 'Ratatosk', this is the other party's organization, and the other party definitely wants to protect its own people, so it cannot be completely trusted.

However, the executive director of the DEM Society who is an enemy of 'Rata Tosk' said this, which almost refuted Chen Ling's words. In other words, it was really not Kotori who killed her parents, but someone else. Elf.And the DEM club records the fluctuations of the elf that originally appeared. In other words, as long as that elf appears, the DEM club can compare it and recognize the original elf at once!

And this is something that Origami absolutely cannot refuse!

At this time, as if to match the timing, the man standing in front of Origami said impatiently:

"What have you been saying since just now! That's enough, catch me!"

The men followed the captain's orders, gradually shortened the distance, and surrounded Origami.

"Uh-"

【──Okay, what are you going to do?Tobiichi origami? 】

"..."

After a few seconds of silence─Origami revealed her decision.

"──I promise you, give me power. However, I will not direct this power at Chen Ling and the people around him!"

So, at that moment──

"Well.....!"

"Uh-huh─"

The men who were getting closer while grabbing the origami all let out painful screams and fell to the ground one after another.

"!"

Just as Origami frowned, a blond man with a mobile phone pressed to his ear, a cheerful smile on his face, and a high-tech pistol in his hand, slowly walked over from behind the men lying on the ground.

Then, stretch out your hand towards the origami.

"──Welcome to DEMIndustry."

Chapter 433 Answer me, why did you save me?

The next day—

"──I heard that the Seven Sins are awake!"

As soon as the door was opened, Chen Ling's voice came in.

This is a corner of the underground facility owned by Ratatosk in the city.The interior structure is designed to resemble the bridge of the 'Flaxinus', with a variety of measuring instruments and huge screens installed.

"You came so quickly, Chen Ling."

The chair placed in the center of the room turned around, and the girl sitting on it faced Chen Ling and answered like this - It's Qin Li.

When Qisui lost consciousness, [Fake Witch]'s transformation ability was naturally released, and her body returned to the one in Chen Ling's memory.

Although Chen Ling actually feels that Qinli has not changed much, especially in one part...

"Huh? Chen Ling, why do I feel like you are thinking about something very rude?"

There was a slight chill in Kotori's eyes, and she said in a cold tone.

Oh, this damn woman’s sixth sense.

Chen Ling was complaining inwardly, but on the surface he remained calm.

"It's just your illusion. By the way, what happened to your face?"

As the saying goes, changing the topic is infinitely better.Kotori's attention was immediately diverted.

In fact, in Chen Ling's eyes, there was indeed something wrong with Qinli's face, with a few faint red marks appearing.Yes, it's like being scratched by a cat.

Qin Li said "Ah...", scratched her cheek and said to Chen Ling.

"...Anyway, you have to be careful."

"Be careful? Be careful about what?...Forget it, where are the Seven Sins? Has she regained consciousness?"

Seeing that Qin Li obviously didn't want to explain, Chen Ling didn't ask any more questions.

"Yes, just recovered. Go here."

Chen Ling walked out of the room at Qin Li's urging, making regular footsteps and walking in a corridor that was wider than 'Fraxinas'.

Although it was his first time here, Chen Ling found that its structure was very similar to the facilities used previously to investigate the true identity of the Seven Sins.It seems that 'Ratatosk' has several such facilities in order to cope with various situations.

After Kotori and others transferred the Seven Sins to 'Fraxinas' yesterday, they immediately moved them to this facility for treatment and examination.The injury sustained by Allen was not considered a minor injury, to be conservative. Fortunately, it was not life-threatening.

Of course, the same is probably true for Allen who thought he was fine again, and Chen Ling had come back to avenge the Seven Sins on the spot.

Although, if possible, Chen Ling would like to hack the opponent to death on the spot.However, the situation of Qi Sin was not optimistic, and the opponent's magician was also trying his best to cover him, so Chen Ling still did not catch up, but went back with Qi Sin and the girls.
