Twelve Trials from Scratch

Her expression became serious, and while looking at Su Qi, she said: "I did lose to you. If you have a set of Valkyrie armor tailored for you, your strength may not be lower than that of an S-rank Valkyrie."

"Thanks to Blue Eyes, even though I'm a man."

"Then the Valkyrie armor is ready..." Ji Zi didn't want to get entangled in those details, and instead said: "In short, if you are willing to step on the battlefield and fight against Honkai with us, it must be a great help to Destiny. "

"That's what I mean here."

Su Qi said sternly: "It sounds a bit secondary, but even though I, Su, is just a deck cleaner on the Hyperion, why don't I want to be a hero who saves the world? Because of this, I to stand here."

"School two? How can the ideal of a capable person who wants to help others be a middle two? In my opinion, as long as he is sincerely willing to protect others and fight against Honkai, anyone is a hero worthy of respect."

Ji Zi looked at him, responded with sincerity, and then said: "Back to the topic, I have heard about your thoughts since Xiyue's time. Glad you're willing to fight with us."

Su Qi sighed softly, "But there's still a 'but', right?"

Ji Zi nodded slightly, "That's right, but I can't make full decisions about getting people to join the Valkyrie team. I still need to report to the head of the branch and apply for approval. In addition, there is actually another reason."

"Oh, what else is there?"

She didn't answer immediately, but just took a deep look at Su Qi, and said seriously: "I'm very sorry, I need to be responsible for the life of every member of the team, and now... I can't fully trust you."

Su Qi was silent for a moment, then shook his head slightly with regret, "You don't need to apologize, although I'm sorry, but I can understand why you made such a decision. Then Captain Jizi, how are you going to arrange me in the future?"

"Thank you for your understanding."

Unexpectedly, the other party would give up so easily, Ji Zi breathed a sigh of relief, and then said as gently as possible: "Don't worry, it's too wasteful to be in the logistics team with your strength, so as long as you are willing to fight against Honkai, even if you can't join us temporarily The Fifth Squad will soon have other opportunities to engage in combat as well.

"Afterwards, I will report the abnormal situation on your body to the head of the branch, and then ask her to help convey it to the headquarters. Presumably, the above will send a special person to meet you soon, and then I will be able to arrange a suitable position for you. And in that Before, in order to avoid other abnormalities that may have adverse effects on you, I wronged you to temporarily stay on the Hyperion and let Xizuki take care of it... What do you think of this?"

The so-called taking care of and preventing other unfavorable abnormalities is naturally tactful surveillance and house arrest.

However, Mandate of Heaven is a military organization after all, and as the captain, Jizi also needs to be responsible for the safety of everyone on board, as well as the system of Mandate of Heaven. In addition, the source of the mutation in Su Qi is unknown, and she herself hopes to find out about him. The principle of rapidly becoming stronger strengthens the power against Houkai, so it is only natural to make this decision.

And Su Qi's goal is to break into the upper echelon of Destiny, or even seize the entire Destiny, so he will not easily do something like "defect", so he nodded and said: "Yes, this is good for me and the people on the battleship. Everyone else is fine."

Having said that, he paused, and then said: "By the way, besides this matter, I have another request."

"ask?"

Ji Zi was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "Could it be that you want to ask me for a date? I can think about it."

"That's right." Su Qi nodded and said, "I don't know if I have the honor to invite Miss Ji Zi to drink tonight?"

"Eh? It's really a date?"

Ji Zi himself was surprised and said in disbelief, "Brother, are you sure you're not joking?"

"of course."

Su Qi touched his chest with his right hand, bowed, and said in an elegant and gentle tone like a gentleman: "For an attractive lady like Miss Jizi, it must be commonplace for a man to invite you? If you are already tired of this kind of thing, of course you can Refuse, but please don't doubt my sincerity."

No, not to mention it is a common meal, I have to find the leftovers by myself...

An elderly single aunt was full of resentment, but she didn't show it. Instead, she smiled slightly, showing her demeanor, and said in a calm and reserved tone: "Really? To be my male companion, the requirements are not low."

Su Qi sincerely asked again, "How about treating it as compensation for being taken care of? And my drinking capacity will never let you down. I hope Miss Ji Zi can give me another chance."

Ji Zi looked at him quietly, pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly, "Okay, I promise you, but I have to choose the drinking place, do you have any objections to that?"

"No problem, as long as Miss Jizi is happy, no matter where I am, I will accompany you to the end."

……

At the same time that Su Qi sent out a date invitation to Ji Zi, in the bathroom, it was still the same cubicle, Lao Wang was sitting on the toilet lid smoking a cigarette, waiting quietly.

Knowing this, what would that person do?Should we continue to spy on him, or should we send someone to capture him back to the headquarters and study his secrets?

He looked up at the metal ceiling, subconsciously thinking about the follow-up of this matter.

Old Wang, whose full name is Wang Qinian, is forty-eight years old. Twenty years ago, he was the soldier king of an artillery unit in the East China Military Region of China. He was transferred to Cangqiong City ten years ago to become a captain of the Honkai disaster defense force. ...is placed on the Hyperion by the Archbishop of Destiny, Otto Apocalypse.

As we all know, the Archbishop of Destiny is very fond of her granddaughter, Miss Teresa, the head of the Far East branch of Destiny.And the Hyperion is the most powerful floating battleship under the command of the Far East Branch. The Fifth Valkyrie Special Squad on board is the trump card of the Far East Branch. The latter often appears on the Hyperion and drives it to conquer the Houkai.

Because of this, the Bishop's eyes were inserted everywhere on the Huberian, and there were also a large number of human shields he prepared for his granddaughter early.Wang Qinian has been working on the Hyperion for several years, and he found no fewer than ten suspected human shields, and of course he himself was one of them.

The only daughter who survived the catastrophe ten years ago is still with the Archbishop, and needs the precious Houkai erosion inhibitor medicine for long-term treatment, so once the granddaughter of the Bishop is in danger, even if he is just an ordinary person, strength and virtue An S-rank Valkyrie like Miss Lisa is not worth mentioning, and she must do everything she can to turn into a shield to fight for even a second of escape time for Miss Theresa.

Otherwise, when Miss Teresa had an accident, her daughter's medicine supply would be cut off mercilessly and synchronously.

After an unknown amount of time, the two fingers where the cigarette was held were faintly and obviously warm, waking Wang Qinian who was in deep thought.

"call……"

He let out a long breath, threw the cigarette that was about to burn out into the black trash can in the corner, looked at the projection panel that had not changed since the report was submitted, and muttered to himself: "No matter what, I will Do your best to live as long as possible, otherwise once there is no use value, who knows how long the promise of a big man can last."

Dip, just finished speaking, there was a light beep on the personal terminal, and a new email was sent.

Wang Qinian looked intently, frowning slightly, "Continue to monitor, don't act rashly, is this still the order..."

……

At the same time, in Europe, above a certain highland in the northwest of Rome, the capital of Italy, above the boundless sea of ​​clouds, a magnificent and magnificent castle surrounded by many floating islands is floating under the blue sky... ...This is the headquarters of the Mandate of Heaven, Endymion, the sky city.

The afternoon sun was just right, and in the hanging garden in the central area of ​​Sky City, countless colorful flowers bloomed in clusters, which were even more delicate and dazzling in the bright sunlight.

Because the garden is well-arranged and ingenious, and the maids who take care of it are highly skilled and pruning and planting are just right; therefore, although there are countless flowers and varieties in the garden, the fragrance that diffuses in the air is of appropriate intensity and blends harmoniously. Chaos, drunk like warm and lingering sake, but not distracted.

"My lord, your black tea."

In the southeast corner of the garden, there is a beautiful and elegant pavilion carved from white stone.Wearing a black and white maid short skirt, black translucent pantyhose, and horn hair accessories, the elegant maid bowed slightly, and gently placed a white porcelain cup containing black tea and several saucers of refreshments on the table.

Then put away the tea tray, and naturally stood behind a young man.

The man was wearing a white shirt, gray trousers, brown boots, a sky blue windbreaker with a shawl, and white gloves. The cuffs were decorated in a complicated and gorgeous style, in a curved Western European aristocratic style.

And he himself is slender, with a handsome face, exquisite facial features, fair complexion, half-length blond hair tied up with a headband with white ruffles, and deep green eyes, like a pair of emeralds... The overall appearance Although a bit feminine, he is undoubtedly a perfect man like a prince in a girl's dream.

This person is the archbishop who has been in charge of the Mandate of Heaven for five hundred years, Otto Apocalypse.

The temperature of the black tea served on the table was just right, the color was bright, and there was a faint tea fragrance, but Otto, who was sitting on the chair with his right hand lightly propping his side face, did not touch it, but thoughtfully said: "Rita , a new task needs you to complete."

The maid standing behind slightly bowed, "Yes, please order."

Otto said indifferently: "Immediately go to the Far East Branch and bring back a man named Su Qi. The specific information and command text have been sent to your personal terminal. If the target resists, try to save your life, but if you really can't , allow you to clear it, and put your own safety first."

"Yes."

"Also..." He paused, his tone softened a little, "Remember to distract Theresa before acting, but if the enemy's strength is unexpected, you can also ask her for help; if she refuses Help, you can send me a message, and I will convince her."

"Understood, then, my lord bishop, please forgive Rita and leave for now."

"Go, I'll wait for your news."

The maid bowed and disappeared behind Otto without a sound.

……

That night, outside of Yingzhou, the main base of the East Branch of Destiny was an island named "Canaan".

The area of ​​this artificially enlarged island is not small enough to accommodate a small and medium-sized city.In fact, surrounding the most important Valkyrie training institution called St. Freya Academy, the various supporting facilities and other buildings surrounding it have indeed turned into a small academy city.

Today happened to be the day to go back to the main base for resupply and rest. The Hyperion was floating above the island. Except for the required personnel left behind, everyone else could enter the urban area of ​​Canaan Island to move freely.

In order to fulfill the previous agreement, Su Qi also left the Hyperion accompanied by Ji Zi, entered the urban area, and came to the latter's favorite place for a good drink - Zero Bar.

Chapter 10 routine spoilers

The bar named Zero is located in the bustling urban area, but it is quiet in the middle of the bustle. Once the transparent glass door is closed, it creates a unique small world.

The interior decoration of the bar has a post-modern style that matches the name. The lighting in various places is in a cold tone, and the soothing and soft cold jazz is slowly floating in the air.The number of guests is not small, but the atmosphere is relatively quiet. They are distributed in a small booth with a semi-enclosed structure. They are all drinking and chatting quietly. It is not as noisy as some crowded nightclubs. It seems more suitable for friends to gather. Have a drink.

"That's it. How is it? Does it feel good?"

Ji Zi pushed open the glass door and led Su Qi in with a relaxed smile on his face.

At this moment, the two of them naturally changed their clothes in order to go out for a drink.Su Qi wore blue jeans, a gray shirt, and a black suit collar jacket for men's autumn clothes, neither too rough nor too formal.

Ji Zi, on the other hand, was wearing Tianming's women's military uniform, with high heels on her feet, and her slender legs under the skirt were wrapped in black pantyhose. She looked heroic, yet at the same time sexy and gorgeous as a mature woman.

Su Qi glanced at the bar, nodded slightly, "It's okay, it doesn't look like a ballroom-style bar that can blow people's heads off, I prefer quieter ones."

Ji Zi seemed dissatisfied and said, "What kind of evaluation is it? As a man who invites a lady to a date, shouldn't you praise my vision 'sincerely' to please her?"

"Uh, I'm very sorry. Maybe you can regard me as a tsundere man. You say it's okay, but you are shocked by Miss Ji Zi's vision and taste in your heart. Your favorability immediately increased by ten percentage points."

She gave Su Qi a blank look, "Once you achieve your goal, will you reveal your true colors? You really are..."

"How about it?"

"not so good."

Ji Zi commented angrily, turned around, and walked to a corner of the hall first.

Su Qi kept up and said, "I'm sorry to make Miss Ji Zi feel unhappy, but I've always treated people with sincerity, and I'm not good at flattery, please forgive me."

"Treat people with sincerity? He is obviously a guy who is secretive and doesn't know what he is thinking in his heart. How dare you say it."

Ji Zi walked into a remote booth where no one was around, sat down on the sofa, and while complaining about Su Qi's self-evaluation, he familiarly ordered on the touch screen embedded in the desktop.

Su Qi sat down on the sofa opposite her, smiled and said: "I admit that what I said on the Hyperion before was indeed a little bit untrue, but now... I didn't ask Miss Jizi to come out to prepare for the future. Are you being honest?"

"I knew it……"

Ji Zi sighed softly, "It's just a stranger you just met, how could you suddenly invite me on a date? And in your eyes at that time, you couldn't find the slightest 'interest' in me."

It was also because of this that she didn't treat her with the attitude she used to when facing a date, and came directly in uniform, and Su Qi naturally saw this.

"Not quite that."

Su Qi looked at Ji Zi with a look of nostalgia in his eyes, "I am indeed interested in Miss Ji Zi herself, but not that kind of interest."

Xinxu was slightly touched by the unfake eyes, Ji Zi paused for a moment, and said nonchalantly, "Oh, what kind of interest is that?"

Su Qi smiled, "I said before, Miss Ji Zi looks a lot like a friend of mine, right?"

"Oh, I thought that was just something you said casually to get closer..."

Speaking of this, Ji Zi noticed that the waiter was coming with wine, so she temporarily kept silent, and waited until the latter put a whole bucket of chilled beer and two glasses full of wine on the table, turned around and left, and then continued. : "So it wasn't just a casual talk?"

After all, he couldn't wait to pick up the glass of beer in front of him, raised his head and sipped it boldly, and put it on the table with a slap, the ice cubes in the glass jingled, and sighed with happiness on his face, "Ha, it's really good to be alive." it is good."

Su Qi also picked up his cup, emptied it in one gulp, then gently placed it on the table, looked at Ji Zi without changing his face, and smiled, "Yes, it's good to be alive."

The latter glanced at his glass with only ice cubes left, "It seems that at least in terms of drinking capacity, he treats people with sincerity."
