Philomena's combat power is also terrifying, but she is lazy and lazy. She is not active at work and is the most anxious to get off work, so she always keeps a low profile. However, she has enough sense of responsibility and leadership, otherwise the Mercenary Alliance would not value her just because of the relic ability.
"That Lord Hyacinth held back."
The nurse opened the body bag and saw that Quincy's only fatal injury was the heart. Apart from that, his body was relatively intact and could be repaired by the nourishment of the spores alone.
"I heard that the cutting ability of that move is very strong. If it turns into a fruit salad, I may not be able to save it."
"There is no question of saving him. He is already dead. No matter how you look at it, his mental backup is different from the person he was at the moment of death. He is not a complete person."
"So what are you after using it so many times, Pesha?"
The nun said nothing, but took out a veil from her pocket and covered Quincy's facial features. Wisps of energy representing spiritual power gradually entered the container. Even Philomena, who was repairing her wounds, couldn't help but look sideways, after all, this thing was really weird.
The Faceless One.
The relic was unearthed in Rome and was originally worn by a corpse. However, it suddenly attacked and injured people and kept switching hosts, causing a sensation. It was eventually kept by Pesa.
I'm afraid I've almost forgotten that period of history, I can't remember the reason, only the goal remains, which is to study and fight against the disaster beast. What level of iron will can control such a strange relic? What do you think when many colleagues call you crazy? I'm afraid no one knows the real answer.
The two partners, who had collaborated many times, did not have much to communicate with each other and each carried out the work of spiritual "resurrection".
They had once worked out this method in a joint experiment, which greatly reduced the casualties among the Saint Relics, and they were now very familiar with it.
After a while, the body on the stretcher began to regain life with its chest rising and falling slightly.
This scene is simply terrifying!
It is a miracle that a body that was completely dead in the biological sense came back to life and even its thinking was 80% identical to that of its original owner.
Seeing this, the two wiped the sweat from their foreheads and breathed a sigh of relief. The Faceless Spiritual Relic was responsible for preserving a person's thoughts, memories, and cognition, while the Life Spore Relic repaired the body to ensure that the spiritual anchor was safe and sound. After a tacit cooperation, the operation was successful.
"nailed it."
The two rang the doorbell, and then several military doctors walked in from the underground ice storage and saluted them. They transported Quincy's recovering body to a special ward. It would still take some time for him to truly wake up. During this period, he would need a large amount of special potions made from disaster beast materials to nourish him, and it was only useful for those who had deeply integrated the relics.
Philomena stretched and said, "The work is done. Let's go have a drink tonight..."
Suddenly the secretary reminded: "Chief Peisha, you have a private call."
"Yes, I'll be there right away." After answering, the nun did not forget to comfort her colleague: "It shouldn't be a big deal, come to my office."
She arrived at the headquarters office and checked the incoming call number. It turned out to be the number she had given to Kaori Minase. Finally, there was news? Although the Goshawk Company claimed that all the information was destroyed, Pesha never stopped investigating and finally confirmed that the child was evacuated safely. Now that the contact has been resumed, does it mean that the individual is reporting safety or what the Salvation Cult wants to convey?
The nun, full of questions, answered the phone and received a string of messages. As expected, the good girl Minase Kaori briefly thanked her and said that she was fine and not to worry.
At the end, the girl casually mentioned "You have a package" and then there was a silence.
pack?
The mercenary headquarters was heavily guarded, with all items and personnel strictly guarded. How could someone get in? Although Peisha was full of doubts, she still asked around a little bit and found out that someone had really lost an unknown package, which was finally placed on the table.
At this moment, an hour has passed since the call.
Even the security department was puzzled as to why one of the big bosses was so interested in a package that was delivered by chance and had to go to great lengths to find it in the grocery warehouse.
Philomena looked at the tattered cardboard box and asked, "What kind of performance art are you doing?"
The female secretary explained, "The package fell off a train. A child picked it up and gave it to a courier he knew. The courier said that there was only a faint sign of Paris on it, so he delivered it first. But it was lost on the way. It seems that a cat took it away and it got caught in the rain. Two hours ago, a bird picked it up and planned to make a nest, but it was frightened by a passing falcon and dropped the package. It happened to fall into a pile of express mail that was being delivered to the headquarters... You know what happened next."
She herself was very confused when she spoke, and the two listeners were also very confused and could not understand anything at all, as if an object was destined to end up in Pesha's hands after many twists and turns.
There are all these "coincidences" that cannot be explained at all, making it difficult to trace back.
So weird.
As top saints, they both knew that something must be wrong when things were not normal. There must be a problem, but they could not find it. But they were sure that it was related to some kind of destiny.
This speculation seems even more outrageous!
What is so special about sending a package? You should know that all relics related to divination, prophecy and other concepts are top secret, and the authorities are very careful to preserve them for fear that no one will take a look at them. But an unknown force used them openly. What does it mean?
They reasonably suspected that the package contained some new super weapon, which would blow the entire building up once it was opened.
Philomena murmured, "The packaging is so rotten that the contents must be spoiled too. What's the use? I think we shouldn't open it easily. Let's move to a safe place."
"It's okay. It says it was signed for by me, so it should be fine."
Pesha never revealed that the call to her was from the Salvation Society, and she destroyed all traces immediately after hearing the message, so her behavior did look strange, but what happened next was enough to clear up any misunderstandings.
The Order must have sent something valuable.
The nun carefully opened the package. It was very light and there was no foam protection. She found a large plastic-wrapped map among a pile of shredded paper.
Chapter 99 New Magical Girl Alpine Edelweiss (6K)
map?
Even though Pesha was prepared, she was surprised. The veil covering her pretty face trembled. Philomena and the secretary beside her looked at each other in confusion. What the hell was going on? They imagined bombs, nerve gas, etc., but it turned out to be a piece of paper!
"That group of people would never do useless work. There must be some deep meaning behind it."
The nun spread the map on the table and unfolded it. It was a world map with information about the corresponding disaster beasts, scales, types, etc. in different regions marked...
The most incredible thing is that every time point is in the future, and they don’t even bother to mention the attacks that have already happened this year.
If you are real, what is the prophecy?
Pesha pointed to the North Atlantic and said, "In 48 hours, the Black Wind Wing will launch a large-scale attack. This event is the closest to verify the truth. Anyway, we have also observed that the disaster beasts are active frequently, so we have to take the initiative to attack. Let's just make the attack range more precise."
Philomena shook her head. "This information directly denies the academic definition of Black Wind Wing's neutrality, and accurately gives the scale and number. Who is the informant?"
"Secret."
"I see. I understand."
Who is deceiving whom among the old partners? If you know a little bit about the close cooperation between the Cold Winter Company and the Salvation Cult for a period of time, you will understand that it is normal for them to return the favor, not to mention that the coincidental transportation method of the package is like an identity card. Only the Miracle Society, which gathers countless strange people, can deliver things to the mercenary headquarters without leaving any traces. Everything is just right, which makes people doubt the authenticity but have to believe in the prophecy.
There weren't many rumors about the sect in Europe, but Philomena had heard about it before.
First of all, the opponent is not easy to deal with because the Goshawk Company went bankrupt. Quincy had just won the resurrection match and the outcome was obvious to all.
Secondly, Pesha once went to Ningfeng Port to investigate a supernatural incident, which was later proved to be related to the magical girl. Moreover, the two sides had formed a comradeship during the Battle of Edo, so it was normal for them to have contact.
She glanced at the map and said, "There is no need to wait for verification. There will definitely be an attack in the North Atlantic. The spore magic in that area reacts strongly. I can sense the disaster beast."
Peisha was slightly startled. "You have already released the perception seed?"
"Of course, I have been preparing since August. After all, I have to ensure that the vigilance around the headquarters is strengthened."
"It seems that the map is generally useful..."
"No, after looking at it, I know the exact direction of the magic source and where to focus the attack, not to mention that the other party also predicted the future attack location." Philomena said meaningfully, "Don't hide the map for yourself because it seems useless. Everyone who sees it will get a share."
As she spoke, she put her arm around the nun's shoulder, acting like a good friend asking for a treat.
After seeing the map, the two could no longer sit idly by. The approximate location, time and scale of the disaster beast attacks in the next two weeks were clearly visible, and they had no choice but to take action.
"...Actually, I really want to call the Treasury and ask them if the prophecy book is missing or has been replaced?" Pesha sighed, "But I know better that the prophecy book cannot do this, or humans cannot afford the fuel to support this effect at present. So the cult must have some powerful divination relics, or some kind of magical magic."
"Let's rule out the former first, because the relic has a certain degree of uniqueness, and the prophecy has been occupied. The cult is a magic society, and it is normal to use magic to achieve its goals." Philomena nodded.
The Salvation Mission gives people an even more mysterious impression.
Logically speaking, an organization that is constantly active and even appears in front of the media would be thoroughly exposed, but it is becoming more and more unfathomable.
Rather, it is precisely because of the consistent style of constantly refreshing cognition that the two mercenary leaders are convinced.
The map issue can't be delayed any longer. Even if we put aside the prospect of the disaster beast attack, we should also add a new target to be on guard: Black Wind Wing. This guy is spreading infectious diseases.
After looking at each other, Pesa and Philomena, who have been partners for many years, understood each other's decision.
The two jointly initiated an emergency meeting. The timing was perfect. At this moment, the mercenary headquarters had gathered most of its combat power to deal with the outbreak of infectious diseases, and gladly accepted the two's intelligence sharing. They did not mention anything about the Salvation Cult and also issued a gag order and erased all traces, using only map information as intelligence.
There is no need to release them all at once, just take out the North Atlantic part first, and the Black Wind Wing will set off from this battlefield to the inland high altitude.
Should you believe it?
Of course I do.
Although the two of them were vague and concealing something, the mercenary leaders always hid all kinds of strange information channels. I was used to it. If you told me directly, I would be worried about setting a trap. No one cared about the source of the information because Pesha and Philomena were trustworthy enough.
More importantly, there was no time left. What would it mean if the academic community's long-standing judgment of Black Wind Wing as a "neutral disaster beast" was overturned? A large-scale infection was taking root in the continent.
In the spacious and solemn meeting room, after Pesa and Philomena spoke in turn, there was a long silence and then a vote was taken.
It is better to believe it, the top leaders of the Mercenary Alliance made a judgment:
"According to reliable intelligence sources, the special leader disaster beast Black Wind Wing has confirmed that its original attribute is destroyed, which is manifested as sky magic. Its main killing method is to spread the source of infection. Unfortunately, we did not notice it in time, but there is still a chance to remedy it. I hope everyone will reduce going out or take good protection. We will distribute resistance drugs for free to try to delay the arrival of the outbreak..."
The intelligence was also shared with the military, and they took action without hesitation. Who cares about the source? They just need to win the battle first.
It is true that over the years, mercenaries and the military have accumulated many conflicts and even gaps, but no one is willing to care about it when facing a powerful enemy. In any case, the cooperation between the two sides is greater than the conflict. Facing the common enemy, they have the same goal:
Stop the beast.
The joint forces, which had been searching like headless flies, had no idea where the disaster beast was lurking in the ocean. Now that they have found it, they will bomb it.
Scouting consisting of reconnaissance aircraft, submarines and warships confirmed that the intelligence was correct.
The disaster beasts have just passed through the space crack and are adapting to the new environment. The scale is estimated to be over 4000, and the direct contaminated area exceeds 10 square kilometers.
The headquarters' first reaction to the news was not surprise, because as long as the enemy figured it out, they would always find a way. In the past, just locating the randomly appearing space cracks was a headache, not to mention fighting for life and death. They often missed the opponent's weak period and had to fight head-on. This time it was really satisfying.
Unfortunately, bad news follows:
Although Pesa brought in a large amount of resistance drugs and new special medicines, and Philomena expanded the perception network, they were unable to prevent a black shadow from escaping from the ocean into the sky.
The largest and fastest flying beast in recorded history of this era streaked inland, spreading death.
……
Switzerland.
In the rental apartment, Yieta hung up the phone to report safety to her family, and then the girl lay on her back on the sofa and smiled bitterly. The former was in Paris, and she came here to attend university, but to be honest, the two were not far away, and they were the same in the same infectious disease outbreak area.
Her increasingly acute senses made it easy for her to hear the noises of people who had suddenly fainted next door, in the corridors, and on the floors above and below. From time to time, an ambulance would roar by...
The invisible magic power from the disaster beast is too dangerous for ordinary people.
Yieta sat up and stretched, holding her face with her hands in a daze. Not long after she started college, classes were suspended, and everything was in chaos. Fully armed soldiers kept marching towards the ocean on the streets, and the air was filled with a sense of solemnity. It was not a psychological effect, but she actually felt the vague spiritual power probing.
There is something high in the sky!
During this period of time, there were heart-pounding magical reactions passing through the clouds from time to time. She was so scared that she didn't even dare to look far away.
The lock is mutual. Once you try to understand UFOs, that guy will definitely come to visit you, and the fighter jets falling on the skyline tell of its terrifying power.
"…What exactly is a magical girl?"
Yieta stopped her daze and pointed at the distance. The cup on the coffee table floated slowly and landed in her hand steadily. The next moment, she could see a flash of blue light in her eyes, and her palms were crackling as if she was electrocuted.
Elemental, Swift Thunder. Thanks to this power, she had recently defeated the mercenaries who came with bad intentions.
As a student majoring in journalism, she pays close attention to all kinds of information. She had long suspected that the scandal of the "suspected kidnapping case" exposed by Goshawk Company was actually related to the magical girl. Ordinary people would never think of it, but since she confirmed that she was a magical girl, she knew that trouble would come sooner or later. Fortunately, the mercenary investigation method seemed to be to explore high magic reactions in regions, and then organize blood draws, examinations, etc. to carefully investigate and lock, which left a loophole.
You know there is a target in the city, so you send someone to investigate. Well, what happens if you get electrocuted as soon as you get off the train, plane or car?
Yieta used his speed and relatively stealthy attack mechanism to strike the mercenaries with lightning.
I hope you will give up if no one is killed.
The Goshawk Company obviously believes more in strength. After several confrontations, they sent more troops and there were also disaster beast fusion reactors. Even the girl couldn't help but feel nervous, as the other party was ready to capture her thoroughly.
At that time, Yieta was in a dilemma, not knowing what to do? Escape? Fight? The former would expose her identity, and the latter would involve too many variables, which would be a dead end.
She will be put into shackles by this group of guys, and tied up more tightly than a mental patient, and escorted all the way, eventually becoming a test subject.
Fortunately, the battle in Los Angeles that shocked the world was finally decided, and the girl happened to witness the whole process on the live news broadcast: in the picture, the girl in black and red dress destroyed the physical level of the arrogant company in front of everyone, and the towering buildings turned into building blocks. Even Quincy, the mastermind behind the scenes, was publicly executed.
Hyacinthus is tall and domineering, and perhaps no hero in history is more heroic than her, so magical girls are organized.
The crisis was resolved after the collapse of Goshawk Company.
Yieta even witnessed the spokesperson of the Mercenary Alliance publicly declare: "We will never take the initiative to become enemies with the cult and destroy the unity of mankind. We solemnly apologize and promise to respect the rights of the victims. We will definitely correct and strictly supervise in the future. In addition, we hope to establish consultation and cooperation with you..."
Look at that humble posture. I wonder if he is scared out of his wits.
The girl, who obviously had no part in it, felt her blood boiling and a warm feeling welling up in her heart. She was flattered to be the beneficiary even though she had done nothing.
Iyetta sees the Battle of Los Angeles as a social movement in which hard-line magical girls organized themselves to fight for their rights.
She realized that such associations had already taken root in unknown corners. It was said that they had been passed down for thousands of years. There were many of them in history, and they once dominated the succession of dynasties. They watched the clouds roll by until the disaster beasts invaded, and then they took action from the standpoint of the entire civilization, but were secretly plotted by people with ulterior motives, and had no choice but to take revenge... The girl once thought the rumors were ridiculous, but now she firmly believes them.
Hyacinth, my hero.
The Salvation Order, a great organization with a long history.
