We meant to rent, but you directly understood it as robbing. Such a way of thinking is unheard of for the two people living in a relatively peaceful big city, but they can change their minds and just do as the Romans do. Renting is more likely to leave traces, so why not just use a dirty boat, which will become a mess after changing hands several times, and then destroy the body and cover up the traces? Friends who often kill people know that killing is easy but removing traces is difficult.
After a satisfying meal and drink.
Jin Yulu estimated the distance by roughly determining the distance to the sun and then the shadow, and then pointed in the distance, "Luzon Island is in that direction."
"Isn't that too arbitrary?" Jin Ruochu was a little worried. "It would be troublesome if we were stranded at sea. It would be like in the shipwreck movies where we couldn't even get a drop of water to drink."
Before she finished speaking, Mu Jin was already distributing coconuts. The output of five trees was tied tightly into a net by vines, which would serve as a fresh water resource for the rest of the journey. Although magical girls can fly, they cannot fly long distances at present, so another solution is more practical.
Nan Zhiyi next to him was tying bamboo joints to make a raft, and the temporary boat was about to be completed.
Jin Ruochu's doubts deepened after witnessing all this.
"Everyone, be careful. Survival on a desert island is not the same as survival at sea." She couldn't say anything to dampen morale, so she had to remind them, "I still have some luck left, so I'll use it all here..."
"Don't worry, I've tested the magical girl's physique. Even if she doesn't drink water for five days, it won't matter. The remaining sharks and the like are just drizzles."
Jin Yulu, who had completely entered the wilderness survival mode, became more and more excited.
afternoon.
The group fell silent the moment they sat on the raft. It was completely different from the big boat they had taken when they came here. It was nothing but bumps. It felt like it would sink if a wave hit it.
If all of them were not triple awakening magical girls, they would definitely not dare to set out so rashly.
Mu Jin coughed to attract everyone's attention and then said solemnly: "After we go back, our job is to maintain the company's operations and then start the process of purchasing a private island. Only with a cover can we build infrastructure for Hermit Island. It is now late August, and we must resolve the issue of the American laboratory by mid-September at the latest."
"Do you understand everything?"
Everyone nodded in agreement, and their lively reactions were unexpected. “I thought you would find it tiring, but don’t hold it in.”
Jin Ruochu was so excited that she stamped her feet on the raft. "It's so cool. I'm so happy. I will never forget the adventure on Hermit Island. What kind of work can be so exciting? The more tasks, the better. I don't feel tired at all."
"The sense of accomplishment of founding an organization with your own hands is the greatest reward." Nan Zhiyi said with a smile.
Jin Yulu said frankly: "There are people like me here."
Seeing this, what else could Mu Jin say? After a series of fierce battles, the elders of the Salvation Cult had no intention of stopping. Perhaps the magical girl really wanted to fight.
She laughed out loud and pointed ahead, "No need to talk nonsense, just go and come back quickly. Set sail."
The raft rode the ocean current and slowly sailed out of the territorial waters of Hermit Island. Looking back, I saw the fog that never dissipated all year round covering the island and then disappearing. I said goodbye for now, and this long journey finally came to an end.
Chapter 82: Minase Kaori's bullying (6K)
The Pacific region's anti-disaster beast operations headquarters.
After walking out of the building, Josh touched the golden medal in his hand and the rank of major general on his shoulder. He always felt a little unreal. He didn't expect that one day he would be bathed in the spotlight and praised, and even promoted as "a milestone figure in the history of mankind's fight against disaster beasts." It was exaggerated enough, and things are really unpredictable.
Although the rank of major general does not sound high, the Disaster Beast War Zone actually adopts an independent promotion system, and the highest rank of lieutenant general under this system has not yet appeared, and the achievements sufficient to support the admiral have not yet appeared.
Everyone agreed that the original holy remains that organized the first coalition victory were worthy of being a general, but there was no systematic military rank at that time.
Trivial matters have nothing to do with Josh, just enjoy the rare vacation.
"What are you doing here?" Gallup walked out of the headquarters building and tossed the medal in his hand. He grinned and said, "The mission is accomplished. I've repaid the favor I owed to Pesha. I came to say goodbye to you."
"It is indeed worth being happy that we are both alive. After this incident, my opinion of you has improved a little."
"You don't have to tell the person directly..."
"So, as a colleague, I want to remind your company that arbitrarily treating people with magical talents is inhumane and may attract the attention of the Savior Cult. Please convey my regards to your boss, General Quincy, and of course, my regards."
Qiao Xi couldn't provide any more information, so he had to tell his own guess.
The scene of her conversation with the magical girl Hyacinthus flashed through her mind, and she couldn't help but wonder why she couldn't trace their appearance no matter what?
really weird.
It is almost impossible for a person to live in modern society without leaving traces, but the Salvation Cult has done it easily.
Since their true appearance was revealed in the war on Island 24, intelligence agencies around the world have been trying their best to track down all relevant information, and they are determined to dig up every detail of the other party. However, nothing has been found. It is incredible that such a beautiful face and special hair and eye color have not attracted any attention. So how do magical girls live in ordinary society?
The only thing that is certain is that the Salvation Cult has considerable power.
Josh continued, "People with magical talents are inextricably linked to magical girls. If General Quincy tries to create a superhuman army, there will be conflicts."
"That's right, but he's never the type to listen to advice. Besides, the plan involves too many people to be terminated. How many people do you think we sent to the laboratory? It doesn't matter if they die, what matters is that someone comes out and exposes them." Gallup sneered, "These are the words of that gentleman."
"You guys are outrageous."
"Many people have no choice but to become increasingly insane in the face of the disaster beasts."
"..."
"But thank you for your reminder. Anyway, Dr. Bunier and I are going back to our country. See you later."
"Take care of yourself."
They waved goodbye to each other, and Josh, standing in front of the headquarters building, watched Gallup walk away in big strides. This man was always full of enthusiasm and frankness. The Battle of Island No. 24 made him gradually regain his former feelings and become more reliable than before.
What happens in another war zone is none of their business. Anyway, there are tall people to hold up the sky if it falls. Humans are pretty much fighting each other on the issue of who will send troops and make sacrifices.
Qiao Xi took off her military jacket, tied it around her waist, and silently looked out at the Edo Castle that was being repaired. She was waiting for someone to talk to her face to face.
After a while, four nuns in blue clothes and wearing black veils walked out of the revolving door in unison.
"Good morning, Pesha..."
She had just said half of her words when she saw her colleague holding the hand of a girl in school uniform, who was no more than a junior high school age. Although she was young, the mature and rational aura between her eyebrows made people look sideways. Perhaps she was gifted.
"What do you mean by that expression that says if the priest did it to the little boy, then the nun might do it to the little girl?"
"I just think that minors should stay away from the battlefield."
"She is the most outstanding person with magical talent I have ever found. She also claims to have been taken care of by Lord Hyacinth... Miss Minase, you can explain it to General Josh yourself."
Even through the veil, one could sense the serious attitude of the head of the East Continent, and there was an atmosphere of equal dialogue. Of course, one of the knowledgeable mercenary leaders would not completely believe the words of a junior high school student, but it was necessary to give face to the big shot who had risen to fame.
So in theory, the process of transferring to the American Research Center was terminated, and a considerable number of talented people, including Minase Kaori, were still retained.
Pesha was happy to help.
Not only because of the comradeship with Hyacinth, but also because he hopes to make friends with the Salvation Cult. Although the information provided by these girls is vague and untrue, and they dare not use the "Great Memory Recovery Technique", it at least proves the importance of the magical girl.
The American headquarters boasts of having a large number of soldiers and generals and is isolated between two oceans, so it is a bit presumptuous. However, Edo is most likely directly within the area where the Salvation Cult's combat power is being projected, and this must not be overlooked.
As a blind man, Josh didn't need to see anything. He guessed most of the information from the fluctuations of his old partner's mental power.
Several magical incidents in Ningfeng Port proved that there was a deep connection with the cult. Many people regarded it as its headquarters, so it was necessary to consider the eyes of that city.
When the Blood Eyes' perspective was focused on the girl in school uniform, she raised her eyebrows slightly.
"...Ms. Minase, you have so many friends."
“He can actually see us!”
Kaori said quietly, and this assertion was accompanied by layers of voices, and the ghosts and monsters living around sighed together, and vaguely saw the existence of kappa, tengu and other images. They were lazy and listless in the sun, and looked like they didn't want to move. However, their eyes were firmly fixed on the adults beside the girl, ready to pounce on them and tear them to pieces at the next moment.
She was calm and smiling, not at all wary of the armed guards in the courtyard of the headquarters building. That was the margin of strength that comes with being a strong person.
Qiao Xi's mouth curled up slightly. "I like your temperament very much. You will definitely achieve something in the future. But let's get back to the point. Miss Minase contacted the mercenaries and planned to intervene in the disaster beast battlefield? In fact, I recommend the regular army. I can even set up an independent organization for a genius like you..."
"Hey, don't poach girls in front of others." A Pesha hugged the girl, her plump figure covering her, showing a kind of maternal tolerance.
It was too discordant for Josh, who knew the inside story of the scientific madman.
"You are the ones who came to me without asking any questions, right? And you asked me what I want? This is the end of the invitations from mercenaries or the army."
Minase Kaori slightly pushed Pesha away, looked them in the eye, and declared in a cold voice: "I have already decided where to go, so there is no need to waste your energy. And we all have one thing in common: we have each had contact with Hyacinthus. So can we get back to the topic?"
There was a moment of silence.
Even though Pesa and Josh are well-informed, they have to admit that in today's world, children are very smart and minors should not be underestimated.
They didn't know that Kaori Minase had been holding on, and had been cheating since the other party came to them looking for people with magical talents. She used the Savior Church as a cover to avoid being sent to the notorious experimental center, and she was deprived of a lot of "inhumane" services.
For example, conscription is actually compulsory and the official outsources it to mercenaries. The mercenaries are always wild and often use punches, kicks, threats and inducements. At the very least, the people will be locked up in a small dark room for a few days.
Thanks to Kaori Minase who was stimulated and awakened her magic, the situation was finally calmed down.
Summoning system, Night Parade of One Hundred Demons.
She understood the basics the moment her ability appeared, but was currently too weak to have to seek help.
Fortunately, there were eyewitness records of the rescue operation at the Magical Girl Hyacinth School, which was indeed confirmed by investigation, so the claim that "I was invited by that Excellency" was really deterrent. Coincidentally, there were many religious and political groups with supporters in the country, and the mercenary leader Pesha was relatively mild... These factors combined made Minase Kaori always eat and drink well, and even if someone doubted the authenticity, they would not dare to cross the line.
First, the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons has already scared people on a floor unconscious, and its power is real.
Second, do you want to experience the treatment of the white whale in the abyss?
Minase Kaori thanked Ms. Hyacinth, the Salvation Cult, and the Magical Girl countless times in her heart... because she knew that with their support she could move among the big shots and even reject the army and mercenaries at this moment.
The host, Pesha, coughed to smooth things over and said, "I guess everyone hasn't had lunch yet. I know a good sushi restaurant. Come on, I'll treat you."
The nun pulled the two of them to their destination.
After arriving at the so-called sushi restaurant, Josh realized that it was a membership-based private club, called a ryotei in the local dialect.
Originated in the Edo period, it is usually a place where politicians discuss certain transactions privately. In addition to delicious food and attentive service, the characteristic is a large "confidentiality fee" to ensure that no secrets are leaked. In fact, there is no such thing as an impenetrable wall? Just come here to prove mutual trust and create a sense of tacit understanding.
Although there have always been criticisms of ryotei politics, in fact, it often undertakes functions such as receiving foreign guests and preparing state banquets, and can be regarded as a top-level luxury service.
The journey was quite lively. In the rebuilt city, social activist groups were frequently seen making high-profile claims such as "Thanks to the great savior" and "The government deliberately avoided the contributions of the magical girls". Some politicians even used cooperation with them as a campaign promise to win votes...
The damage caused by the clustered beast incident has been gradually repaired, and everyone has become active again, even a little too active.
Inside the room.
While eating, the three of them exchanged information and described their respective experiences of meeting Hyacinthus.
Although they all concealed something, the general direction was correct.
After a moment, Pesha got straight to the point: "I have a feeling that the Savior Cult will definitely try to integrate the magical girl group."
"It's difficult, and probably impossible." Qiao Xi insisted, "The higher-ups are very determined. They cannot directly extract elite forces from various countries to evolve into a new nation. Moreover, they have natural extraordinary powers, and the higher-ups will not let them go."
"Why move to higher-ups? You are one of the top decision-makers, and your attitude is to refuse. You are worried that it will subvert the established order."
"Correct."
Minase Kaori, who had been eating voraciously, suddenly raised her head and retorted: "Don't forget what Lady Hyacinthus said, 'Welcome to the future extraordinary era'. The trend is irreversible. Excuse me, General, you are a bit pedantic."
"You little devil—"
Before Josh could really get angry, the latter curled up in fear, and Pesha beside her cooperated by hugging him tightly.
How come you two, a mother and daughter, seem to have met a soldier with bad military discipline? What's going on? When did you two develop such a tacit understanding?
"Don't worry, I won't treat you like a junior high school student. I'd rather say that kids like you are one of the reasons why I fight so hard." Qiao Xi took a deep breath and said, "But I will communicate with you at the cognitive level of an adult. Some things must be made clear. It's not that we refuse to change. How many people rely on a stable order to get by? They may be ordinary, but they are the foundation of the country, the essence of a nation, and the hope of mankind. If you keep talking about subversion, what will happen to their lives?"
"Currently, the Savior Cult is working hard to fight against the disaster beasts, but that is just one of the means. They are obsessed with a society where everyone can become a saint, right?"
"It's wonderful, even I'm looking forward to it."
"They should clearly announce the plan, including but not limited to the organizational structure, staffing, and resume files... Child, this step is called trust, just like everyone toasting when having a meal together. If you neither toast nor come to the table, I will only be suspicious."
Qiao Xi gave a long speech in a cold tone, presenting facts and reasoning.
We welcome a new member to the great alliance against the Scourge, but we cannot fail to understand each other.
As one of the decision-makers, she has to take responsibility. Otherwise, is she going to talk about the future of human society with a group of people who have no social traces?
"Marx once said that man is the sum of all social relations. I can't discuss the world with a bunch of people who may lack basic human moral ethics."
Peisha poured a glass of wine for Josh sitting opposite her, and then said with a smile: "If I were 50 years younger, I would probably say that the senior officials represented by you never carefully considered the people when making decisions? Now you are hypocritically concerned about the fate of thousands of small families? Then we would have a big quarrel and go our separate ways..."
She exuded a nostalgic atmosphere.
"Half a century has taught me to agree with others' opinions first and then 'supplement' them with my own opinions, which is not offensive and is persuasive."
"But you still said that to me."
"Because you are my friend, and there is a child here, I hope she can learn something... Let's get back to the point. If the Savior Cult is really a group of people without any trace of society, then I advocate launching a massacre to eliminate the magical girls."
The shocking words stunned Qiao Xi and Minase Kaori, and then they heard a burst of laughter.
"I will first agree with my opponent's views and make them more extreme than his, using the slippery slope fallacy to urge him to reflect and also pave the way for my subsequent views..."
"Stop explaining yourself, hurry up."
"The existence of Ms. Minase proves one fact: magical girls must be human beings, but they just have another face."
"Why doesn't she change now?"
"Because they haven't reached that realm yet, they are far inferior to those 'adults'. So you can trust them. The Salvation Cult is a new cross-sovereignty interest entity, and they have just as many needs as ordinary people."
