This is not the date I wanted.

"A magical reaction from high above... Ratatoskr's airship?"

Hearing Origami's explanation, Allen frowned slightly. It must be said that the magic focusing cannon that suddenly shot down from the highest point where it could not be pursued was indeed an annoying existence. The reason for this feint to the east and attack in the west was also to prevent the aerial ship from suddenly interfering like last time when it was destroying Liang Yi Meng Yue.

"Besides, I made it very clear when I accepted your invitation."

Origami replied coldly.

"I will kill all the elves in the world one by one!"

Dark emotions were surging in her eyes, and Tobiichi Origami's tone was like ice that chilled her bones.

Hearing Origami's answer, Westcott smiled.

"Forgive my previous impoliteness. Now, let me look forward to your performance, Tobiichi Origami."

==============================

A heavy atmosphere filled the meeting room of DEM's UK headquarters.

The men sitting here have several things in common. One is that they are all British. Another is that they are all directors of DEM. And one more thing - all of them have their arms in plaster and bandages.

Here, all the directors had proposed to remove Westcott from the position of executive director in the meeting a few days ago. The moment they raised their hands to express their support for this proposal, their raised arms were cut off by Alan Mathers without exception.

Although the separated arm has been perfectly reassembled using a medical display device, the fear at that time still lingers in people's hearts and cannot be dispelled, so no one has dared to remove the plaster until now.

"You guys don't mind this? Even if you're treated like this, are you going to keep silent?"

The middle-aged director wearing glasses, Roger Maddock, shouted fiercely. Incidentally, he was also the main planner of asking Westcott to resign last time.

However, facing the angry Duke, the directors could only show helpless bitter faces.

Before that, everyone had thought about how Westcott would deal with their questions, and even prepared a variety of rebuttals. But they never expected that the other party would not treat them as equals from the beginning, and used pure physical means to shut them up.

Values, worldview, thinking patterns and the ability to realize them. That man is fundamentally different from ordinary people.

That's not a human. Everyone thought the same thing. To be honest, apart from the fact that he looked like a human, they would rather believe that Westcott was some unknown creature other than a human.

Creatures that cannot communicate are unknown. Humans have two attitudes toward the unknown: curiosity and fear. Westcott gives people the feeling of the latter.

If the directors' previous criticisms were due to their dissatisfaction with Westcott's arrogant and self-willed attitude and their greed for power, then what filled their hearts at this moment was the anxiety and fear of having to get along with an incomprehensible monster in the future.

"... Even so, I will make him get the retribution he deserves."

In this conversation that was more like escaping reality and complaining than discussing coping methods, Duke took a deep breath and proposed a plan.

Assassinate Westcott.

To be honest, when the directors first heard about this plan, their first reaction was that Maddock was crazy. Not to mention that most of the magicians in the DEM executive department were Westcott's fanatical fans, just sending someone to assassinate Allen, Westcott's secretary, was no different from courting death.

However, after hearing the details of Duke's plan, everyone held their breath.

As one of the world's leading companies, DEM has launched 23 artificial satellites into space, 8 of which have completed their operations and entered standby mode.

Maddock's plan was to have one of the satellites, DSA-IV, which was expected to be abandoned, "accidentally" fall towards Westcott's current location, Tiangong City, so that Westcott would "unfortunately" die in this disaster.

Bandersnatch was launched from the ground to deploy a random field to offset the friction between the satellite and the atmosphere when it fell. Then an airship was dispatched to shield the observation device on the ground, and an evacuation alert for a space earthquake was issued, attributing the cause of the disaster to a super-large space earthquake to cover up the truth.

It may seem absurd and crazy, but it is not fanciful.

"But...if that's the case, what about the development of the vaccine box?"

One director suddenly raised his hand and expressed his concerns.

Did you really mention this? Hearing the unexpected question, Duke frowned slightly.

Vaccine box, a special device developed by Westcott before he left, claiming to be able to deal with hackers who are the most dangerous elves to humans. As for its actual effect, it was fully confirmed in the report a few hours ago. Although Westcott has many doubts about his human nature, it must be admitted that he is a genius who deserves to establish DEM.

How terrible are elf hackers? Even under the fear of Westcott, the economic and mental damage caused by hackers to DEM still makes everyone in DEM pale when they think about it.

"You don't have to worry about that. According to the development staff, Westcott has left behind the design drawings and production methods of the Vaccine Box. I believe that we can complete the production without Westcott."

"W-what..."

The director who asked the question seemed to be in disbelief, his mouth opened wide, and his eyes widened to the limit. Maddock sighed, not that he couldn't understand his mood at the moment, he had a similar reaction when he heard the news.

First, he suppressed the directors' resistance with absolute violence, and then solved the biggest problem of DEM. With just these two steps, Westcott completely reversed the situation. If he had stayed at the headquarters to consolidate his authority, even if Maddock wanted to make trouble in the future, he would not be able to stir up trouble.

However, Westcott left England without any regrets and went to Amamiya City in Japan.

Maddock didn't understand what was going on in Westcott's mind. Maybe there was something extremely precious there for him. In comparison, the intrigues of the board of directors were like children's play, not worth mentioning.

However, this does not mean that Duke will miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"Moreover, according to the current report, the Hacker himself was seriously injured in a battle with Executive Director Mathers. If nothing unexpected happens, he should still be staying in the Tiangong City area."

As he spoke, a smile appeared on Maddock's lips, the meaning of which was self-evident.

"Unfortunately, Amamiya City in Tokyo was hit by a large space earthquake again 30 years later, a disaster that was big enough to completely destroy the air-raid shelter. At the same time, our MD happened to be staying there and was unfortunately affected. Ahhh - what sad news. In the face of ruthless disasters, everything is so helpless. What we can do is to get over the grief of losing such a genius as soon as possible, inherit his legacy, seize every minute and second to contribute our own strength, and let DEM continue to grow."

Finally, after a long silence under Duke's hypocritical speech that sounded like a rabbit dying and a fox mourning over its own death, the directors slowly nodded their heads.

By the way, from beginning to end, none of them raised any objection to the inhumane elements of this plan.

————————————————————I am the dividing line for shifting perspectives————————————

"Yawn—it hurts, it hurts!"

As soon as she returned to the airship's infirmary, Meng Yue couldn't help but sneeze. Then, the wound on her body was pulled and she gasped in pain.

“What’s up, my compatriot? Could it be that the cold air attacked them because the Protection of Lightning was damaged?”

"Question, are you catching a cold?"

Yakuya and Yui looked at Mengyue with concern and asked.

"Sigh, I always feel an inexplicable malice coming from afar... How should I put it? There are always villains who want to harm me?"

Meng Yue touched her nose in confusion.

"What incomprehensible things are you saying, Sister Mengyue."

Kotori said with a helpless sigh.

"Really? Please don't scare me, okay? When I saw you being caught by Alan, I was so scared that my heart almost stopped."

"I'm sorry, Kotori-chan, for making you worry."

Mengyue smiled bitterly, clasped her hands together and apologized to Qinli.

I have to say that Mengyue was indeed careless this time.

When Meng Yue received the news that DEM was hunting down the Seven Sins, because of her ability to restrain magicians and her ability to adapt to changing circumstances, she believed that she had the confidence to escape from Alan's pursuit unscathed, so she took the initiative to offer her memory of being a bait to lure Alan away.

However, he had never expected that the other party's target from the beginning was him. He also predicted Meng Yue's actions, blocked his hacking ability, and lured him into the trap step by step.

After many previous battles, his fighting style, thinking habits, and abilities have long been known to the other party. This is not a video game with a fixed clearance mode. After DEM realizes that they have figured out their intelligence, they will naturally think of ways to deal with it.

"By the way, how is Shidou doing? Has Nanashi been rescued?"

Mengyue asked Qinli.

"Don't worry about that. Nanashi is fine, but she fell into a coma due to a large amount of blood loss. After returning, Shidou sent her to the lounge."

With a somewhat helpless smile, Kotori shrugged and replied.

"Well, judging from Shidao's personality, he is probably rushing here right now."

Sure enough, as soon as Qin Li finished speaking, Meng Yue heard a burst of hurried footsteps approaching this side.

"Meng Yue!"

"Really? Even in an airship, running in the corridor so fast is not allowed, Shidou."

Looking at Shidao who was running out of breath, Mengyue chuckled and said reproachfully.

"Meng Yue...are you okay?"

After calming down his rapid breathing, Shidou asked with a worried look on his face.

"Don't worry, I've never seen enough of Shidou in women's clothing in my life. How could he die?"

Meng Yue said proudly with her chest puffed out.

"Ah ha ha……"

Hearing Meng Yue's words, Shidao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. However, seeing the girl joking so cheerfully, Shidao felt relieved.

"Such a serious injury..."

Seeing the wounds of varying sizes on Mengyue's body, Shidao couldn't help but gasp.

"Well, they are basically just some superficial injuries."

Despite this, Shidao couldn't help feeling heartbroken when he saw the wounds on Mengyue's originally fair and smooth skin.

"It needs to be treated quickly."

"Wait a minute—forget about the healing flame. I'm afraid I'll scream out in pain."

Seeing Shidou intending to use the healing flame, Meng Yue quickly waved her hand and shook her head to refuse. Although if it comes to healing wounds, even the medical display device may not be as good as Kotori's healing flame, but when the wounds are healed, it is also very painful. Although it has been alleviated a lot with the help of the Sage of the Dawn, Meng Yue still chooses the more painless and reliable display device when there is a choice.

"It's fine."

Shidou sang softly while comforting the frightened Mengyue with a smile.

"Partial expansion - <Pojun Songstress> - Requiem."

As Shidou's voice fell, several silver sound tubes appeared out of thin air, emitting soft yet loud music.

Meng Yue was surprised to find that the wound that had been aching a little just now now seemed to have disappeared without a trace.

“Is this… a song that has a pain-relieving effect?”

"Yeah, I just asked Miku, and she told me."

Shidou nodded, and while the pain-relieving effect of Pojun Songstress took effect, he used the Healing Flame to repair the wounds on Mengyue's body.

After Meng Yue stretched her muscles, she found that her body had indeed fully recovered. If it weren't for her ragged clothes, no one would have imagined that Meng Yue had been injured.

It has to be said that after only seven days of training in the virtual world, Shidao's control over the elves' abilities exceeded Mengyue's original expectations.

"It comes with anesthesia and full recovery. Shidao, when this is over, should we drop out of school and open a hospital together? I guarantee that the medicine will cure the disease and the business will prosper."

"Isn't your dream to become a game producer in the future..."

Shidou complained speechlessly.

Not long after Shidou arrived, Tohka and the others also hurried to visit Mengyue. Although everyone was a little surprised to see Mengyue alive and well and unharmed, they all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Mengyue was safe and sound.

Although she has already received treatment from Shidou, to be on the safe side, Kotori still suggests that Mengyue go to Reine for a comprehensive physical examination.

PS: Ah…I accidentally wrote the second half in a romantic style at first. But it didn’t feel right no matter how I rewrote it (covering my face).

"Well... the wound has basically healed, and there are no signs of damage to the internal organs and blood vessels. The pathway of spiritual energy is also quite stable."

Seeing the data in the monitoring report in his hand, Ling Yin nodded slowly and gave instructions.

"It looks like there is indeed no problem. But due to the blood loss, you are still a little weak. Mengyue, please pay more attention to rest in the next few days."

"Well, I see."

After hearing Lingyin's words, Mengyue nodded in understanding. Looking at Lingyin who was still drowsy as always, she suddenly asked.

"By the way, Lingyin, can I ask you a question?"

"what?"

"Vaccine box - a matchbox-sized manifestation device. Do you know what that is?"

Hearing Mengyue's question, Lingyin tilted her head in confusion.

"Vaccine box... Vaccine box? Is it the small box that sealed your hacking ability in the previous battle?"

Mengyue nodded to indicate that it was correct.

"Well, I remember when Ellen took out the small box, I vaguely heard her call the box this."

"Really... a device that can interfere with the manifestation of angels' abilities?" Ling Yin held his forehead and pondered for a moment, then slowly shook his head, "Sorry, Meng Yue... Vaccine
