I, the villain, have a system for listening to advice

The moment he saw the true face, Qiao Xi felt his head buzzing and subconsciously touched the tip of his nose. Sure enough, there was a pool of blood on the palm of his hand, and even his body was shaking.

Dorothy supported her in time and reminded her: "Be careful, if you see enough, the poison of knowledge will be more powerful. Don't explore it too much, it's just a small compass that can summon meteor showers?"

"Meteor shower? That's a disaster."

The two were referring to the meteor shower that crossed from the Western Hemisphere to the Eastern Hemisphere a few days ago, and finally fell into the Pacific Ocean, causing a small tsunami. Its speed and power surpassed that of an intercontinental ballistic missile without a nuclear warhead. Even so, it was enough to be used as a super weapon. I didn't expect that a single attempt would be so amazing.

"I asked a corpse puppet to adjust the compass needle's landing point, and then the activation was completely turned into ashes, so the rule may be about equal exchange."

Dorothy was still frightened. After all, if she tried it herself, she would most likely be in great danger.

"It is essentially a gravity-inducing phenomenon similar to the Floating Ring. It is very powerful and consumes a lot of magic power. It is definitely enough to be used as a weapon."

Chapter 146 Setting Sail Again (6K)

The two people in front of the glass room looked nervous and had frowned.

Dorothy and Josh, who were in the game, knew that a super weapon relic would not cool down the suppression of the mercenaries, but would induce further attacks and give the top leaders confidence. After all, the principle similar to the floating ring was enough to make people think about it, and its symbolic meaning was even greater than the power itself.

Of course, the power is not bad. A relic that can trigger a meteorite bombardment does not sound mysterious at all, but it is simple and crude, and anyone would have to think twice before deciding.

They seemed to be able to foresee a city turning into a sea of ​​fire under the bombing of meteor showers, which was more environmentally friendly and pollution-free than nuclear bombs.

“Not entirely.”

Josh stroked the special magic power, stared at the compass with blood-red eyes and murmured: "In fact, it also has a function of divination of the location of high magic reaction. Your magic power is the divination signal, and the meteor shower is pointing to it, but it happens to have a certain impact."

"What a weird way of working? I totally misunderstood." Dorothy held her forehead with her hands, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "The way of thinking in the pre-era was really weird."

"No, it is a weapon in itself. It determines the location and then strikes. But the accuracy, signal feedback, calibration and so on need to be studied carefully. If you can't figure these out, you are not worthy of being on the battlefield."

"Is there a possibility? There was a high magic reaction point in the Pacific Ocean at that time."

This speculation makes people think:

Logically speaking, we should choose the area with the largest fall, but why did we deviate to another direction? Although the guidance of the meteor shower is vague, it should be very purposeful.

The magic power from "people" will prioritize divination of targets similar to oneself. Obviously, relics are understood as "similar bodies", right?

Only magical girls are worthy of such drastic guidance.

Therefore, the astrological compass has both positioning and killing functions, which is indeed similar to a missile. Therefore, it should not be rated as top secret. After all, the lack of conceptual attacks is not mysterious enough, and it is greatly reduced when dealing with some powerful objects with body protection. Although it sounds a pity, it is definitely a subversion of the war system, and it can be set to attack the holy remains, and the execution of decapitation operations is very strong.

The two generals immediately realized the strategic value, and at the very least it provided them with an additional means of attack.

Josh murmured, "The shiny stone representing the Pacific Ocean has dimmed a lot. It needs to replenish its magic power. And there must be a reason why it didn't hit the target."

Dorothy spread her hands and continued, "Of course. If Hermit Island is there as you guessed, the spatial coordinates alone can block it. Moreover, they have always been protected by some strange fate. Whether it is the investigation being obstructed or the judge being attacked a while ago..."

"So the astrological compass is more suitable for frontal battlefields."

"It seems that I have placed too much hope. It is not easy to find relics of the same level as the Book of Prophecy, the Holy Lance, and the Floating Ring."

"It's enough to be a trump card."

"Anyway, my job is to keep it safe. Whatever the higher-ups decide is their business." Dorothy then pressed the password, and a thick alloy shell enveloped the glass room. "It's a rare opportunity for you to come here, so come take a look around and see how my work environment is in keeping with nature."

She led her old colleagues out of the office building. The area adjacent to the excavation site was simply a sea of ​​forest. It was humid and hot, with mosquitoes buzzing, and full of a primitive feeling.

Even a helicopter would find it difficult to fly in and might even get lost. There was not even a ray of sunlight when looking up, and it was dark and deep under the treetops.

Dorothy pointed to the knife marks on a tree trunk. "Every year, a large number of illegal immigrants travel all the way from Colombia to Mexico. This is the last country they will pass through before arriving at the border. It's like a pilgrimage. But they don't know that the land of their dreams is becoming increasingly uneasy... I heard that many bigwigs are beginning to lean towards mercenaries."

"This is normal, after all, many political donors are already connected to private armies."

"In fact, I received a strong invitation from Sequoia."

"Me too."

"The invitation was sent to the excavation site." As soon as Dorothy finished speaking, Josh felt a chill on his back. This at least meant that the mercenaries were gradually moving closer to the position.

Even if she no longer cares about politics, she should understand that the final moment of choosing sides has come. To be honest, she certainly does not want a civil war to break out, but both sides hope to use national strength and concentrate huge resources to fight, while the other side hopes to use mercenaries as much as possible without affecting normal God's words. They can't convince each other.

The army has shrunk not only due to a series of conflicts, but also because people are tired of the entity with huge resources.

But why don't you think that mercenaries won't further exploit resources if they gain power?

Qiao Xi thought a lot in an instant, but when he spoke, only his purest heart remained. "I just thought that after accidentally fusing the relic, I could find a place to use my abilities. Logically speaking, any employer would be fine. But I gradually realized that mercenaries lack restraint in their work, and I must never associate with them."

"I just want to be alone with it."

Dorothy is more pure. She is happy with the fact that her relics are destined to have no connection with normal society. She just wants to hear the opinions of her old colleagues before making a decision.

At least this person didn't care about the rumors or the corpse, and the two of them could have some communication.

"You're wrong. What's more serious than secretly joining forces is the idea that 'fighting against disaster beasts is the mission of magical girls.' They're better than us in just a few moves. But I think the efforts of each side are important."

"What does it mean?"

"Because we fought hard to maintain a normal society, normal magical girls were born. Just like if you are full after eating the fourth steamed bun, it doesn't prove that the first three are useless, right? On the contrary, the order of the mercenaries will become abnormal, and everyone will go to hell together. I have seen through those people, so I will not accept the invitation. And don't forget that the relic treasure house can be turned around at any time as long as you are not afraid of the poison of knowledge."

"I thought you would persuade me, or threaten me to kill me if I betrayed you."

“That will push people to the opposite side.”

"You succeeded. I have to stay. At least the work at the excavation site must continue. I heard that the production of magic crystals in Egypt is getting less and less. We must make up for the production gap."

"I have good news. The Magical Girls Administration will announce the next steps, which are related to the operation against the occupied areas." Josh said.

"So they won't help either side? Well, they're lucky they don't commit to either side, so let's leave it at that."

Dorothy looked as if she was about to see him off, and from her expression it seemed that she would rather remain alone than firmly commit herself to one side.

"Take care."

In fact, Josh had a judgment that he didn't say out loud. Having the focus of an astrological compass would definitely not bring him peace, and life often goes against one's wishes.

……

Clover Agency.

What was originally a small single-family building now houses a large amount of information, with countless documents piled up like a small hill. After all, it also serves as the temporary headquarters of the administration, a private equity fund management agency and a series of other tasks, and it is simply overwhelmed.

In such a crowded pile of documents, Miyuki was seen lying on the medical bed to rest, while Elsa was applying the medicine in the reagent bottle to her.

It is produced by diluting a certain healing essence provided by Hyacinth, and with the blessing of Stephanie and Joan, it has now become one of the most common equipment within the Salvation Order.

"Oh my god, it hurts so much. Where's the healing magic product you promised me?"

"You and Senior Protea should be blamed for overtraining and straining your muscles. The others are the strongest in the mythology department and can recover on the spot, but our Miss Phalaenopsis has exhausted her magic power and needs some time to recover."

"Don't worry, I've benefited a lot. I can feel it. Even the seedling stage is not far away. I really should practice more."

"I have to work hard too."

Elsa nodded thoughtfully. She had been busy with the affairs of the Administration recently and neglected to exercise. Her practical ability might have declined instead of improved.

In the past, I positioned myself as a support, sitting in the back to exert influence or act as an assassin, and one hit of true damage would seal the victory, but I was almost crushed by Dandelion.

Of course, she was not in good condition and had no intention to fight at that time, but it would not affect the result. In addition, Erza was shocked to learn that Senior Wen Shulan, who summoned meteorites and served as the vanguard in the Black Tide Battle, belonged to the causal system. It turned out that Fu Yu Huo, a magic that kills through a series of indirect means, dared to fight head-on, and his record was not bad. He didn't look like an auxiliary at all. He was undoubtedly a veteran and hardworking force.

In this case, why would Elsa stay behind? She must take responsibility.

To fight.

The passionate atmosphere of Miyuki infected her. She thought that this joint training organized by the Salvation Church should not be missed. She should first familiarize herself with the abilities and then wait until she reaches the North Pole before starting the war. Time is tight and no time can be wasted. She should make a practical contribution.

It just so happened that Senior Hyacinthus had previously assigned her a task to issue a statement in the name of the church, and now she had time to finish this trivial task.

"Get up quickly when you're recovered."

Elsa patted Miyuki's waistline belly, and the latter complained of muscle soreness again.

At the same time, Manami, Fenghua and Yue Qian also entered the infirmary to explain that they were all ready for the press conference. Especially the latter, she looked radiant and had obviously reached the triple awakening after getting rid of the infection, an unprecedentedly excellent state. Now the morale of the entire Clover team was high.

"Anyway, this isn't the first time we've faced reporters, and I've already protected them, so it won't be difficult. Let's just make the announcement as usual."

As the group walked downstairs to the lobby, they heard the sound of camera shutters.

Although they have stopped their idol activities, their fame has not diminished. They have entered the world of power and are considered one of the most powerful groups in the world. Isn't that better than the entertainment industry? The current management bureau is the most popular.

Reporters usually bombarded the host with questions or even criticized her verbally, but when they arrived at the magical girl's territory, they all waited obediently for the host to speak.

Elsa looked around and said, "The fundraising fund will be run by a professional agency and will be transparent as always. We will track and monitor it in real time. If you have any questions about this, the reason is simple. The Salvation Cult will besiege the area occupied by the disaster beasts directly under the Arctic Catastrophe."

So fierce!

Everyone simply couldn't believe it. After all, that would require at least an army group scale, so they were unable to advance. It was still winter in the Arctic.

But on second thought, it seems that the Magical Girls Organization has always had a thunderous offensive, and its strength is unfathomable.

"…We are also part of the operation. For the sake of peace and civilization, we have an obligation to do so. Therefore, we will disappear from the public eye for a while. Similarly, the Administration and the Salvation Cult will operate in a low-key manner. The organization's goal has always been to fight the disaster beasts themselves. We are neither interested in nor concerned about the current situation of the coalition forces. We have our own course of action."

"So it can actually be understood as a kind of closed training?" A reporter followed up on the topic just right.

"Correct."

"Ms. Elsa, what do you think of the conflict in which the Mercenary Alliance accuses the United Army of keeping a large number of relics from the public? The situation is very tense."

Of course, those who say nice things should also mix in sharp topics appropriately.

"First of all, your question is very unprofessional. Where is the tension? In my opinion, we are all united and determined." Elsa said coldly, "Secondly, we support every action to safeguard rights. That is their business."

No one was surprised by the blame-shifting and non-stick pan answer. Just like her father, he first attacked the problem and then said an irrelevant opinion.

"Could you please tell me whether the site selection for the Administration's headquarters has been further advanced?"

“Probably at the North Pole.”

Elsa's straightforwardness in spreading the news surprised everyone. Why did she choose such a remote place? They couldn't believe their ears. But no matter what, the cult always did things perfectly. They had their own considerations and would not tell anyone even if asked.

…The questions and answers that followed were almost meaningless. They just dealt with each other to get the job done, then went back to their own homes. Even the Clover Office was temporarily closed.

They sent a clear signal: we are serious about encircling and suppressing the remnants of the catastrophe.

A single stone stirs up a thousand ripples. Those who generally pay attention to the actions of the Salvation Cult and even expect them to intervene are bound to be disappointed. The magical girls who have always been aloof from the world have no intention of getting involved, or it may be that the original society has deeply hurt the organization and thus become wary.

Anyway, the "independent" character is maintained.

Hibiscus expressed her lack of interest through Elsa's megaphone. Believe it or not, I'm going to get away with it.

Of course, before leaving, he did not forget to show goodwill through the Winter Company, making it clear that he was at least not interested in interfering with the Mercenary Alliance, which was a way of repaying Pesha's help.

The negotiations between the two parties were very pleasant. Even if there was no exchange of interests, the deal could not be made, but there was still friendship, and it was fine as long as we did not become enemies.

The mercenary leaders were very satisfied. Although they had hoped to win over the cult, their own people knew their own business, and suspicion was inevitable on both sides. In this case, they could just not go to the military side, and the mercenaries could concentrate on dealing with the government.

They didn't notice that at the same time, the Daffodil Company also announced the suspension of its market business expansion and entered a dormant period, bringing a sense of tranquility to the world.

To increase credibility, Elsa later even announced the approximate scope of the operation.

Then the Clover team left through the Edo area teleportation array. At this point, all the magical girls of the Savior Cult gathered on Hermit Island, heading towards the distant Arctic Circle for the second time.

The breeze was gentle and the sea was calm, making it a good day for sailing.

On the high ground, Hibiscus and Anri Sakagami work together to stabilize the island's own sliding, and the two major attribute magics of time and space ensure precise guidance.

Wow!

The turbulent tide means that the island moves at a speed of 30 knots and separates a huge amount of seawater. Fortunately, we try to find a secluded route, otherwise the noise will be huge. At the same time, the outer edge is covered with clouds and fog to hide people's sight. Even if we pass by a fishing boat along the way, the other party will not think there is an island hidden inside.

Things are different now. This time the voyage to Hermit Island is very slow and the guided acceleration of the space relic is not activated.

The reason why we rushed to the front line of the Arctic catastrophe was because we were afraid that the coalition forces would be defeated. This time we are going to hunt for materials and occupy positions in advance. It is not so urgent and we should give the situation some time to develop.

At this moment, the radio next to Mu Jin is broadcasting the news:

“It is reported that the Arctic Defense Front expressed support for the Administration’s actions and promised to provide all military supplies support.”

"According to informed sources, the Mercenary Alliance is sending invitations to the United Army through a large number of personal connections, and claims that some generals have already responded. This news has not yet been verified."

"An Antarctic research vessel sank in an accident. Someone at the scene said there were traces of gunfire..."

It’s so lively!

Mu Jin has access to intelligence from all sides and is of course clear about the ins and outs of the matter. Compared to the overt confrontation, the two sides are actually constantly poaching each other, and individualism has the upper hand.

Many people don’t see an end to the fight against the disaster beasts, so they might as well treat it as a business and simply join the mercenary camp and make money together.

The suppression operation announced by the Administration actually added fuel to the flames, once again proving that "magical girls are more inclined to take the initiative to fight against disaster beasts", implying that they do not intend to intervene. I'm going to the North Pole to cool off, you guys can do whatever you want, but don't get involved. Whether they believe it or not, as long as someone is willing to think on the premise that "the cult will not participate", the two sides will not interfere with each other.

Mu Jin no longer paid attention to the empty words of these mouthpieces.

She asked, "Xingli, you're away again, what do your family say?"

"In fact, they were very satisfied when they received the company's employment letter. I disclosed my activities to everyone, and they felt relieved after knowing the management bureau's situation."
