Chapter 216: Outpost(1/2)
Turning off the projection equipment, Su Enxi lay back on the hotel sofa with half a bag of opened potato chips in her arms.
After chewing the potato chips that felt tasteless in her mouth, she tilted her head and called out to the other person in the room: "Long legs! Isn't it over with San Wu yet?"
"No." Shutoku Mai, who was repacking her luggage, replied without turning her head. "They are still waiting for instructions from the Kassel headquarters. The boss is also there, but I don't think he is just waiting.
, I guess something will be done for us soon."
"No, I have never seen anyone who is so active when working for others." Su Enxi looked at the overly active Jiude Mai and complained, "Besides, we are not short of people now, there are more capable people than the three of us.
, no matter how active you are, it won’t be your turn.”
Mai Shutoku's hand moved for a moment. Although she didn't want to admit it, Su Enxi was right. The first generation of Lion Heart Club who came back from the dead was far superior to them both in terms of numbers and combat effectiveness.
But it didn’t take long for her to start packing again: "Sanwu also said it before, right? 'Just do what we can do'. Their joining did make us a lot more relaxed, but it is also a good expansion
We need to reduce our manpower, otherwise we will just rely on me and Sanwu to do field work as before."
"It seems that you are the only ones who are free, right?" Su Enxi put on a deadpan face, "My work has never been reduced, and now I don't even have time to lose weight."
"That's because you refused Eva's help, right? But I think even if you had that girl's help, you wouldn't lose weight if you had free time. You might even get fatter." Mai Shutoku looked back.
He glanced at Su Enxi, who was slumped on the sofa, especially at her waist, which could not be said to be fat, but was much plumper than his own.
In fact, Su Enxi is not fat, but it depends on who she is compared with. Not to mention Mai Shutoku, whose appearance and figure can crush a lot of models, Zero is still in a girlish shape (?) and will no longer grow.
She was very envious.
In fact, she is just a little plumper than her two companions, which is the so-called slightly fat figure. Of course, this "slightly fat" must be put in quotation marks. If she is taken out to dress up alone, there will be
Many people fell in love with her suits and skirts, but for her who would never stand if she could sit down, like Mai Shutoku, who attended various banquets for information, standing in high heels for more than ten hours was still too much.
It's hard for her.
Su Enxi was angry: "Who are you looking down on! Give me some time and see if your group of 'fanboys' will switch to my school."
Then she said hesitantly: "But that EVA is very powerful, but in the end she is still like us... you know, right? I think she can really do things like follow the network cable to kill you."
"What's the difference?" Mai Shutoku, who was inspecting the weapon, replied nonchalantly, "You can touch it, you can see it, and it not only has temperature and is soft, but you can also eat and drink. This is no different from a living creature.
Is there a difference?"
Then she added: "And if you are really afraid, you should also include me, right? After all..."
Mai Shutoku lost her voice when she said this. Su Enxi, who didn't hear the words behind her, turned her head to look again. As a result, she only saw the Barrett sniper rifle that had been disassembled and assembled but had not yet been packed in the box, while Mai Shutoku's figure was
It's completely gone.
This strange scene gave Su Enxi an ominous premonition, and sure enough, the next second, she felt someone secretly appearing behind her.
The man came close to her ear and said in a nice but somewhat hollow voice: "How do you know if I am myself?"
"I said..." Su Enxi rolled her eyes and looked sideways, "You don't want to scare me like this..."
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!" A scream came from the room. This miserable-sounding female voice attracted the attention of the waitress and other residents in the corridor.
The waitress who thought she should go over and take a look knocked on the door. After a while, the door to the room opened, and a woman with a good figure who seemed to be suppressing a smile walked out.
"Sorry, my companion saw something wrong and thought it was a cockroach. He was frightened and is fine now." The woman said while stepping aside so that the waitress could see the situation in the room clearly.
After hearing the explanation, the waitress took a closer look, and sure enough, one of the three people staying in the suite was sitting on the sofa, patting his heaving chest with one hand, looking obviously frightened.
Because of the excellent looks of the three people who checked in, the waiter who was in the lobby at the time was deeply impressed by the three of them. Except for the doll-like blond girl who had gone out early, she confirmed that the other two were there and said that if necessary
, I could change rooms for them and leave.
After closing the door, Mai Shutoku couldn't bear it anymore and returned to the sofa, clutching her stomach and laughing so hard that she couldn't get up. At this time, a third person in the room who was not seen by the waitress appeared.
"Sorry, sorry, sorry!" Eva, who was dressed in a white dress as usual, released her spiritual form, clasped her hands and apologized to Su Enxi, who was scared to death by her on the sofa: "I didn't expect that this would really scare you, you
My expression just now looked very confident, so I couldn’t help it... Anyway, I’m very sorry!”
"You...you...!" The pale-faced Su Enxi stretched out her hand tremblingly and pointed at her, opening her mouth as if she wanted to say something harsh.
"...Don't do this again. It will scare people to death. I don't want to be dragged out to work again so early." But in the end she didn't say anything harsh.
"I'm sorry, sorry, sorry! Please don't tell the boss (mater). If I get fired for scaring my colleagues, I will be ashamed to death..." Eva, who didn't hear Su Enxi's words and just apologized blindly, seemed to have discovered something.
He was stunned for a moment and said, "Oh no, I seem to be dead."
"You don't think you scared me enough!" Su Enxi, who had just recovered from the fright, was furious, and Mai Jude, who had just recovered, covered her aching belly from laughing again.
After a while, Eva, who was forgiven, still said with some embarrassment: "Ahem, I'm here to convey the boss's order."
Hearing this, the two people on the sofa couldn't help but sit up straight. This was the first time the boss plsu had given them a task, so they couldn't help but be a little more serious.
"You two must already know what happened at Qutang Gorge, right?" Seeing the two nodding, Eva continued, "The boss (master) asked Miss Enxi to find a way to send these two to the source of the incident. The speed is getting faster and faster.
The sooner the better.”
A screen appeared out of thin air in front of Eva. This was a small method that she could use after regaining her body. The effect was the same as an ordinary touch screen, but it had no practical use except for reporting or playing videos.
On the screen were photos of Lu Shanyan and Tiger. Eva explained: "Because of the contract, we cannot be too far away from the boss (master), and these two can ignore the effective contract distance because of the employment agency.
Carry out long-distance activities. They will go there in advance to provide us with more detailed intelligence support."
"What is a job agency?" Mai Shutoku discovered the new words in EVA's words. To be honest, for these new colleagues, they knew almost nothing except that they knew that it was a miracle that neither alchemy nor the spirit of speech could achieve.
Su Enxi also nodded wildly. The best way to face fear is... ahem, to understand them first.
Eva explained: "Jobs can be regarded as arms, and these two can be regarded as long-range arms. You can also think that it is because of this that they have the ability to fight at long distances. However, although we have another one who is also good at long-range strikes
, and he is still very good at the water combat required for this mission, but because of his contract, he cannot leave the boss (master) too far."
"I see, it sounds like a magician in a game or something." Mai Shutoku nodded and said it in a way she could understand.
"They can't be counted as magicians. There is another magician. Well... although she is somewhat different from the magician that ordinary people understand. Although this Miss Caster can also move at long distances through special abilities, she is different.
Compared with the previous two, her movements are greatly restricted." Eva said, while the three strangers on the screen said, "Miss Mai, your mission is to assist Miss Caster in tracking several people."
…
Half an hour later, Lu Shanyan and Tiger appeared in Binhai City Airport in completely modern attire.
"I asked, is the name Jia Mailang too careless?" Tiger, who had a beard on his face, his skin was a little whiter, and his appearance was somewhat disguised, was holding the unknown number prepared by Su Enxi for them.
He asked where he got the certificate. Although the name on it had a similar pronunciation to his real name, he always felt that something was wrong.
"There is nothing surprising. Domestic translations are generally localized." Lu Shanyan looked up and looked for the target aircraft. "The legendary Knights of the Round Table, Lancelot and Mordred, are also translated as Lang in China."
Such as Shi Le and Mo Junde."
Unlike Tiger, Lu Shanyan did not put on any disguise. After all, the photos he left a hundred years ago were all with half of his head bare. It is still a bit difficult to identify him through that.
"But wouldn't it be more appropriate to use Jamile?" Tiger was still a little confused.
This made Lu Shanyan ask: "I don't know about this. Maybe Miss Su thinks this is more appropriate. By the way, my pseudonym is Yan Shanlu, I think it's pretty good."
"Aren't you just doing it backwards? And why do you sound inexplicably handsome?" Tiger complained, but he no longer paid attention to the name.
After getting on the special plane that Su Enxi had notified him to be on standby, Lu Shanyan opened the box he was carrying, and blue light instantly filled the entire cabin.
Inside the box were rows of magic crystals specially given to them to replenish their magic power.
If the Servant is too far away from the Master, although the contractual link between the Master and the Servant will still exist, the transmission of magic power will dissipate as the distance increases. While the Servant's combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced, various actions will also be impaired.
affected.
Perhaps some ancient heroic spirits would ignore this effect because they possess high amounts of magic power, but fusion servants like Lu Shanyan and the others obviously do not fall into this category.
So when Lu Mingfei asked them to set off, he brought magic crystals with solidified magic power. In this way, even without his support, the two of them could use their "alone action" skills and these magic crystals to exert their usual combat effectiveness.
.
"Even though we know that we are recreating with this as the cornerstone, it feels magical every time I see it." Lu Shanyan said as he picked up a magic crystal and kept it close to his body.
Tiger did the same thing, picked up two and kept them close to his body as a reserve for emergencies. Then he asked an irrelevant question: "Will Angers come for this operation?"
Lu Shanyan was silent for a while, and then replied: "He will come, he is on the task list in EVA's report."
"So we will see him again this time, right? I don't know what Menike is thinking. The master clearly did not prohibit us from contacting him, but why did he not do anything except steal wine?" Tiger said.
Xie asked.
Lu Shanyan thought for a while and recalled that he had also asked Menieke this question, and Menieke's answer was...
"Although you can't tell from the outside, Angers, who is now an old guy, has a problem here." Meineke said this while pointing to the position of his heart, "If my guess is right, this
The problem should be about us."
Recalling their recent observations, Lu Shanyan said with some confusion: "He had a party on Monday, went racing on Tuesday, attended a charity party on Wednesday, danced with a girl who could be his granddaughter, and went fishing in Hawaii on Thursday... To be honest, he
On days like this, I don’t see any signs of psychological problems, and I even feel a little envious.”
"Actually, I'm also envious. I've never even heard of that place in Hawaii." Meineke said, while looking at the second floor of a European-style building. That's where the principal's office is.
Then he added: "But now is not the time. At least, not until his problem is solved."
"Although you said that..." Lu Shanyan said with a distressed expression, "but I still think you just want to scare him first."
"Scaring or something... Okay, actually I did think about it." Meineke didn't feel embarrassed when one of his purposes was exposed. "This is a very rare opportunity. Think about it, I don't know how many people will die after you die."
Years later, one day you suddenly came back to life, and the good partner you were once very optimistic about became a big shot."
He put his arm around Lu Shanyan's shoulders and persuaded him: "If we don't do something at this time, we will be sorry for the second life that the Master has given us..."
To be continued...
