5. Saten Riko, Disconnected and Reconnecting
"Infinity Moe King ()"
Under the blue sky, the metallic-colored buildings reflect the dazzling light pollution as always, constantly eroding the vehicles and pedestrians on the road, and covering the whole land with a layer of dazzling brilliance.
In the ward of a certain building, after the pure white curtains were pulled apart by slender and pale jade hands, there was no sound at all.
On the hospital bed, Misaka Mikoto leaned against the head of the bed, staring at the people coming and going on the road, wondering what she was thinking.
until--
"Creak." The sound of the imperceptible door being pushed open caught her attention.
"Tears?"
...
After Academy City was restored, Alesta re-emerged as the chairman of the board, forcing Academy City to become the top school force in both "technology and magic" with the attitude of a demon god. As the price of being supported by the technology side, she handed over It has produced scientific and technological achievements 40 years ahead of the world, as well as a large number of talents.
Even if there is a god to cover the bottom line, this does not hinder the struggle of interests underneath.
But no matter what, the establishment of the British clock tower and the transformation of Academy City made Misaka Mikoto spend three days digesting these things.
That is, the times have changed, and Rimuru, who she always thought was on the wrong path...has become a god.
She always thought that Limuru had lost herself, but she didn't expect that it was just her in the end... never understood the path and thoughts that Limuru really wanted to take.
After Chuchun Shili came back, the four of them got together again and enjoyed the afternoon quietly. In the coffee shop they often visited, they laughed harmoniously as always, but there was only a little more indistinctness that no one dared to mention. topic, only the relevant figure is missing.
"Speaking of... I'm going to London in a week." After thinking for a long time, Saten Ruiko suddenly raised his head and said goodbye softly: "My teacher has called me for a long time, and I have been procrastinating, but ..."
"Teacher?" Chuchun Zhuli didn't realize it for a while: "Isn't your teacher..."
"Student Chuchun!" Shirai Heizi interrupted the other person angrily, and immediately looked worriedly at the silent elder sister——
"It's okay." Misaka Mikoto smiled reluctantly, pretending to be cheerful, and said, "What kind of expression do you guys have? Haha, everything is over, there is no need to care about me."
"..." Saten Saten was silent for a moment, then paused to explain: "The teacher I'm talking about refers to Levinia."
"The dean of the Clock Tower?" Hearing this, Misaka Mikoto suddenly flashed behind Limuru, who always looked lazy, like a noble Garfield cat, who was full of disdain for other people.
"Yeah." Saten Ruiko nodded lightly: "As her disciple, I have to go to the Clock Tower to study further. The technological magic system and superpower system of Academy City are not suitable for me."
"You... your strength has been judged to be Lv4 now, right?" Shirai Heizi murmured, a little puzzled: "Your strength has improved fast enough, do you really need to be so anxious?"
"En." Renzi still nodded, but did not explain.
But everyone suddenly understood something from the firm eyes of the other party.
"You want to go to the void...to find him?" Misaka Mikoto murmured with complicated eyes: "As expected, am I wrong?"
"No, you can't say you did something wrong."
Saten Reniko suddenly thought of Rimuru's complaints about Misaka Mikoto, and suddenly smiled crisply and shook her head, "The teacher said that being kind is never a mistake, but being cruel and evil is a means. The two should be put on opposite sides."
"You mean, using cruel and evil means with good intentions is what Rimuru thinks is the right thing to do?" Misaka Mikoto was slightly taken aback.
"The teacher thinks that's the way you should go." Saten Leizi shook his head and said: "The teacher is very concerned about you. He said that if you don't want to be hurt, you shouldn't speculate on everything with a good side at the beginning. people, go ask everyone,
Then be disappointed to discover their evil. "
"It should be to understand the evil from the beginning, to speculate on everyone with the evil side, and then do what you think is right and good. Only then will you get good feedback."
"Imagine a passer-by as a robber at first, it's much easier to get hurt than a good person at first, right?"
"But isn't that tiring?" Chu Chun said weakly: "Didn't senior tell me how he did it?"
"He himself..." Hearing this, Saten Reiko touched her head in embarrassment, stuck out her tongue playfully and said, "He would probably say... I don't want to be a good person..."
Since being a good person is too tiring, then don't be a good person. With Rimuru's three views and Kyuubi and Leivinia's eyes and ears, even if Saten Ruiko hadn't asked this question, she could still imagine How would Rimuru respond.
"He still knows that he is not a good person..." Shirai Heizi said bitterly, and she still has a grudge against Kyuubi's slap in the ICU.
"What about you?" Misaka Mikoto ignored Shirai Kuroko's dissatisfaction, and asked nervously: "Even so, are you going to follow him to the end? What does the void look like? Don't those extraordinary people understand?" ?"
"I know."
Saten Saten smiled and bent her eyes into crescents: "It is because of this that he and Senior Nine-Tails are unwilling to let me step into the void. No matter how many times I ask, they are firmly opposed—"
"However, the young eagle has to fall off the cliff to spread its wings and soar. As a disciple of the god, I can't just stay in his world and be mediocre, right?"
"You have to follow in his footsteps. Although Limuru seems to have a lot of followers, there are really few who can make him feel at ease."
I really like what the teacher once said.
Saten Saten, reconnecting!
...
Didn't know that her rebellious little apprentice had already decided to kill the Buddha and the God to kill the Buddha, and Limuru, who rushed into the void and wanted to gain some prestige, chose to go offline after giving all the extraordinary points in her body to Jiebiao Danxi , that is, back to reality.
No way, halfway through enjoying the feeding service of Jiebiao Danxi, Limulu remembered that he had just got off the plane and was teleported away before he even had time to say hello to the military personnel, which made him suddenly A little anxious and impatient——
After all, before going to the Forbidden World, he had great expectations for returning to China.
After the sense of disorientation in the void disappeared, the surrounding scenery was instantly illuminated by the dense airport lights, and the stars in the open air at the airport flickered a little, which made Limulu couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Stepping on the thick ground, Limulu instantly unfolded his magic perception, and he would still arrive at the same place, the place where he stood when he left.
However, because of the flight problem, there were no planes parked behind him, and the surrounding area was even quieter, with no sound at all. Only another plane a hundred meters away made a noise, and there were bursts of noise.
Li Mulu looked at his little hands, and the moment he came back, he didn't forget to turn himself into a delicate and beautiful girl: "Jiang Xiaoxiao."
There was no one around, and Limulu was not in a hurry, and didn't even bother to look for an exit, so she just stood there quietly, yawned slightly, and meditated on the spot.
Until three minutes later, a night crow rushed over in a hurry, and instantly landed on the ground and turned into a staff member with a young face.
Limulu tilted her head slightly: "You guys came pretty fast."
"Uh." Limulu's emotions obviously put some pressure on the young receptionist, mistaking it for his dissatisfaction, and quickly apologized: "I'm very sorry, we have arranged a 24-hour shift to wait for your return, but the airport Multiple people are not allowed to stay inside, please bear with me."
"I don't mean to blame you." Seeing the other party's nervous appearance, Limulu let out a chuckle, which made the soldier blush and sluggish for a moment, and hurriedly got out of his way and said: "This... this way please, we have notified the Light Chaser..."
"Yeah." Limulu nodded, followed the other person's pace and prepared to leave the airport, and suddenly asked, "How long have I been gone?"
"3...38 hours! Miss."
Fourteen hours a day? Limulu looked at the sky, and it was indeed the same. Doesn't that mean it's late at night?
That's really hard for them, they have to keep an eye on the airport in the middle of the night...
Shanghai's international airport is really big, which means that if you don't use the ability and the sightseeing car, it will take more than ten minutes to go out. The receptionist is not a young man, but it may be because of his ability that he runs the fastest.
As a result, the mighty team and the beautiful girl formed by Limuru's mimesis were even mistaken for a star by some passengers at night, and almost encountered onlookers.
At this time, the role of the reception staff was manifested. One of the women snorted softly. After the invisible fluctuations dispersed, all the ordinary people suddenly became confused. video.
"Is it a hint of the form of the subconscious..." Limulu also understood the basic identities of this group of people after seeing this. It is estimated that in addition to receiving high-powered people, this group of people should be the legendary ones who specialize in dealing with ordinary people and preventing mystery Leaked department too.
However, Limulu experienced the incarnation in New York, and suddenly wanted to laugh. The United States is in danger, and the mysterious leak has basically become an established fact. So, what should this department do?
When Limulu walked to the airport exit, he saw that in the dark night, among the few pick-up people, a bright silver sports car looked particularly high-profile, and beside the sports car, an expressionless and cold The face of the man with a gentle smile looked very familiar.
"Captain Ling and...Deputy Captain Lin?" Limulu was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "Tsk, why do I have such a big face?"
"Don't get me wrong, it's just that the comrade who was in charge of picking you up worked so hard. We happened to be nearby in the middle of the night, so I'll pick you up by the way." Lin smiled lightly and opened the door of the sports car for Limulu, tilting his head to indicate to go in Behind the car, Ling Ling, who had been leaning against the car door, took a rare and careful look at Limulu.
"This look suits you quite well."
The two of them were considered to be one of the few insiders who knew that Jiang Xiaoxiao's true identity was the tyrant Limulu.
The pick-up this time is also a decision made by the higher-ups considering that the two parties have cooperated before and the contact will be more harmonious.
"How does it feel to be back in Shanghai?"
Ling Ling remained taciturn and as cold as a mountain as always, so the task of speaking to ease the atmosphere naturally fell on Lin.
Hearing this, Limulu glanced sympathetically while driving, and said that he couldn't turn his head back. He clearly has the strength of the captain but insists on following Ling Ling. He wants to do everything but has no hesitation. Lin licked the dog, shook his head and replied: "It's not bad, to be honest, it would be better without you."
"Tsk, I understand your desire to move freely as soon as possible, but the immigration control cannot be dropped, let alone you are actually late this time."
"Your teammates are all assembled, and you are the only one missing." Ling Ling suddenly said coldly: "Rest well tonight, and report to the captain after meeting tomorrow, and you will be free."
"Oh... still need to report... wait, captain?!"
"Well, do you have any questions?"
The problem is getting bigger!
Limulu shook her little head, pointed at herself in disbelief and said, "I, Limulu!"
"Yes." Ling Ling nodded.
"tyrant!!"
"Um."
"Just a small team member?! Zhenshanhe said that the captain gave it casually!!"
"Where are you in the army?" Facing Limulu's astonishment, Ling Ling was not polite at all, and directly said coldly: "Besides, your identity as Jiang Xiaoxiao, although clean, is only clean."
"That's true." Ling Ling's tone was too cold, as if he sensed Limulu's dissatisfaction, Lin smiled and explained: "Li... Xiaoxiao, can I call you that?"
"Whatever you want." Limulu nodded slightly, as if listening.
"We don't know how Zhenshanhe promised, but you have to know that the formal weaving and control of the territory have always been decided by the light chasers. In addition, the purpose of your joining the army is also the right to return home, so Correspondingly, both parties to the transaction will naturally be locked in as our Light Chaser."
"First of all, you have to understand that the Light Chaser puts more emphasis on control and organization than Zhenshanhe, so you need to follow this point. It is not impossible to make breakthroughs, but whether it is a tyrant or a child of the void, as a hole card, They are not intended to be made public, so with your current strength and standards, as the captain of the Light Chaser, it is inevitable that you will not be able to convince the public."
"Secondly, what you want is to return to your country, and joining the army to follow orders is instead your bargaining chip and obligation—"
Hearing this, Limulu understood instead, and here is the difference between Xia Guo and the United States.
It also belongs to the use of high-level abilities. Emily in New York's method is to treat him as a mercenary. It feels like he is being used, but the price is clearly marked. Although it is the kind of forced employment, she pays more attention to the boss's own opinion. and factions.
The advantage of this is naturally more freedom, and there is no need to please too many people and the so-called physique, as long as the boss is optimistic, then you can be promoted all the way-just like Emily climbed all the way up with the nightmare crown.
But the Chasers of Light are different. As the people's army and soldiers, they value the comprehensive influence and status within the system, as well as the approval of everyone around them.
In this way, if you want to continue to be promoted, you must integrate into the system, which further prevents the chaos of coming and leaving like mercenaries, but it also raises the threshold in disguise.
For Limulu, the advantage is naturally that there will be greater support after entering, as well as fairness and transparency, but also, because of this environment, most of the freedom and so-called fairness and transparency will be lost.
Both sides have advantages and disadvantages, but only one thing is true.
That is, there is no personal relationship between the two parties, and the final decision is made on the basis of his "value".
This is exactly what Lin wanted to remind him of.
In his opinion, the tyrant Limuru is a piece of rough jade with high shaping value, but he is seriously biased towards the void style of acting, but this style is quite a disadvantage when placed inside the earth.
Is the town strong? They are strong, but they are far away from the military and political affairs, and can only be used as the task of guarding the frontier and fighting in the void. Every time, strict execution and discipline are required to maximize success and...
Safety for most people.
After all, the army is not like the mercenary regiment in the void, which is small in number and equal in strength.
As the team leader, most of his subordinates are Sequence 7 or even Sequence 8 who execute orders.
Limulu's style is not suitable for them. One of his orders may cause everyone to die, and his behavior style may affect them, leading to the so-called "a rat's droppings spoil a pot of porridge".
This was not insulting, but the conclusion reached by everyone after discussion, so they decided to throw Limulu into the ordinary players to grind it out first, to remove the edges.
After some reminders from Lin, Limulu also understood that in the final analysis, Zhenshanhe was the right place for him, but the Light Chaser was not willing to part with his potential, and wanted to forcefully keep him.
From this point of view, the light chasers are not as good as he thought, they are all warriors like Ling Ling who have no desires and no desires——
Where there are people, there will inevitably be differences and selfish desires, not to mention the light chasers in the system, who are more likely to breed moths...
Thinking of this, since the Light Chaser is not in charge of Ling Ling and others, Limulu is not polite, and raised the corners of his mouth without any scruples, and said softly: "I'm tired, so I won't meet the president you mentioned today. Captain."
"Um?"
When Ling Ling frowned, he felt that Limulu's figure stopped, and when it turned into lightning and was about to disappear in an instant, an invisible flame burst out with high temperature and wanted to stop it!
However... In the short-lived confrontation, the high-temperature barrier she deliberately lowered its power was broken by lightning, leaving only Limulu's crisp voice: "I encountered a ghost knife in the last world, I think...you The decision on me should be reassessed."
"Didn't stop it?" Lin Weiwei was taken aback for a moment, and after slamming on the brakes to stop the sports car on the side of the road, he heard Ling Ling's cold voice full of inconceivable: "He...was promoted to Sequence 6?"
