So I became a witch

"Do you still remember the way you came here? Just go back the same way. I still have some things to do here, so I can't send you back." Lota shook his hand and issued an order to evict the guest.Although I couldn't understand what happened, I also understood that now is not the time to continue asking, so I nodded silently and left the research institute.

After returning to the follower's dormitory, Luo Yan was not in the room.From what he said, it seems that he owed a large amount of debt to someone because of Dragon Knight's affairs, so he had to do odd jobs to make money in his spare time. "Obviously as long as Miss Lota can do it for you," I said that, but he sternly refused.It is meaningful to say that the debt owed must be repaid by oneself, and no opportunism should be taken. Isn't this exactly the same as my dad?However, thanks to the serious and serious dad who does everything, I, who was born with a personality defect, was able to pretend to be a normal person and grow up smoothly until now.

Speaking of which, what are the parents and sisters doing now?Are you using the power of my uncle who works in the police station to frantically look for me?Or is it completely indifferent?I'm afraid they can't guess that I have traveled to another world, and this world is still facing the threat of doomsday. As an ordinary high school student, I have become the savior... It is completely like a light novel. .But it's a pity that I don't have the awareness of the protagonists in those stories, let alone find companions. All I can touch is just a little bit of the world in front of me.

But one day, if this world really proceeds according to the script of the novel or the game, I will definitely have to log in to the battlefield, and then, like those girls who were considered to be the savior before, I will be miserable without anyone knowing. die—

"...My brain must be broken, I." I said to myself fiercely.If you want to ask about the time, it must be the beginning.

Chapter 73 Ready to go

The materials purchased from the unreachable area were delivered quickly.Because the amount of information is too complicated, I handed over all the sorting work to AI, and took time to go to the hospital by myself.

It has been a few days since the "students fainted" incident, and all the students who were unconscious were safely protected here.Considering the special identities of these students, all information about this incident has been completely blocked. Even Eden could not find any information on the Internet. At the same time, as long as it is a smart media, it is impossible to dare to speak out at this time.

However, the blockade cannot go on forever.At most one month, those wolves and tigers will no longer be able to suppress it any longer, so this matter must be resolved before then.

"...Pandora." Through a layer of transparent glass, I quietly looked at the sleeping girl in the sterile room, and called softly in my heart.

Naturally no response was received.Even though all the values ​​of her body have been normal, she has not been able to wake up.

"……wait for me."

Absolutely, it will wake you up.

After returning to the dormitory, the AI ​​has already sorted out all the data.By comparing some of the information found on the Internet, I roughly confirmed the authenticity of this information.The more I read it, the more surprised I was. Although I said that I needed information about the Dead Sea of ​​Stars, the more detailed the better, but even the military's border defense armed layout was included, and it even accurately marked the weak and tight. -Although it is only the information before the outbreak of the second cataclysm, it is too detailed.

Well, anyway, it's the information that I paid a lot of money to get, I'm sorry, but the price is not good.

After a cursory glance, I reconfirmed the information in my head.Dead Sea of ​​Stars, as the name suggests, there used to be a group of stars as brilliant as the Milky Way, but because of the outbreak of the war with the Calamity Beast, in the Dead Sea of ​​Stars today, there are only countless planetary wreckage left, like an ocean, dividing the visible universe It has become two areas, the east and the west, the east is the area where humans live, and the west is the place where the disaster beasts were born.To put it simply, the dead star sea is the 20th line between humans and disaster beasts. Countless disaster beasts and dragon knights fought and fell here. The explosive energy caused the field of this star sea to become very chaotic, and the result was Whether it is the Dragon Knight or the Calamity Beast, it is extremely difficult to cross the dead star sea to reach the world where the other party lives.It is precisely because of the existence of the Dead Sea of ​​Stars and the succession of the dragon knights that human beings have finally regained the situation from the extreme disadvantage at the beginning.However, even so, until the end of the first catastrophe was announced, human beings did not completely wipe out the disaster beasts, they just drove them to the other side of the dead sea of ​​stars.However, even such a difficult victory was broken after just 72 years.Without warning, [-] Inquisitors descended into the world out of thin air, triggering the second cataclysm that is widely known.After the incident, the four major forces also tried to contact the border guards of the Dead Star Sea, but there was still no news. Therefore, this unsolved case became a deep haze on the heads of everyone.

The reason why the four major forces decided to join forces to enter the Dead Star Sea this time is that in addition to investigating the students' unexplained coma incident, I am afraid that they finally have time to spare and want to find out what happened near the Dead Star Sea when the second catastrophe broke out a year ago. What exactly happened, and why the border guards didn't even have an early warning, just wiped out the truth in the first place.The worst result is that the Calamity Beast has completely occupied the Dead Star Sea.If this natural barrier is really lost, human beings will have no chance of winning in the face of the endless beasts of disaster.

Damn, the more I read these materials, the more ominous premonition in my mind becomes more obvious.This incident is very likely to be a trap. It is possible to bypass the security system without anyone noticing and make the students unconscious without killing them, in order to lure the four major forces to investigate.But even so, we have to swallow the bait.Since the other party is confident enough to lure us over, they must be fully prepared.This feeling of knowing that there are traps ahead but having to set foot on them is so bad that even I can't help feeling a little restless in my heart. That guy has been complacent, for this, I need the power to reverse the overall situation when necessary.

"Quick...or else...it's too late..."

"Ugh!!!!" I couldn't help but press my head, feeling like a splitting headache.After meeting the strange guy who possessed the president, a girl's voice would sound in my mind from time to time.She seemed quite anxious, but she never said a complete sentence. Whenever I held my breath and wanted to listen carefully, the voice would suddenly disappear.If it wasn't for the fact that my brain has not been checked by AI many times, I would almost suspect that I am mentally ill.

There are too many things to figure out, but now, I can only take one step at a time.

--------------

Three days later, the Capital Airport.

Since the morning, the atmosphere here has become extremely dignified.If you are a person with a keen sense, you may immediately notice the difference today.In the originally crowded airport, there were not many visitors today, and some passengers who appeared occasionally also exuded a dangerous aura, staring around as if they were on guard for something.

"These people are the mercenaries employed by Dixiao. Don't underestimate them. Although there are only a few dozen of them, everyone's strength is not weaker than professional drivers." Luo Yan said softly beside me.

"Are they also qualified? I thought mercenaries were guys who could only rely on power armor." I said dumbly.My confusion is not unreasonable. Even the lowest qualified person can at least get the rank of non-commissioned officer. Whether it is salary or life stability, it is far better than the life of a mercenary who licks blood on the tip of a knife every day.Generally speaking, only those guys who can't find a job and have no qualifications will have to become mercenaries to make a living in order to survive, but they have never heard of qualified people who will take the initiative to become mercenaries. mercenary.

"These guys are different. Some of them are used to living freely and don't want to be bound; It can be regarded as an unwritten rule among mercenaries." Luo Yan said.

Chapter 74 Departure Hall

"It feels like you seem very familiar." I said casually.

"Um, when I was in the academy, I did work as a mercenary for a while, and because of that, I met some very interesting guys." Luo Yan scratched his head and said rather embarrassedly.

"Hey, I really can't see it."

"Oh...ah, yes, Missy, please ask me to pass this on to you." Luo Yan said while taking out a high-tech hand strap and a chip from the backpack behind him, " This is the "Dragon Knight Summoner", which is equivalent to a positioning system. As long as it is activated, the Dragon Knight can be teleported to your current location through a long distance. Because it consumes a lot of energy, it is best to use it at a critical time. The other is By jamming the chip, you can forge your identity and prevent real information from being exposed.”

"Well, it's quite convenient." I buckled the strap on my left hand. As for the chip, I thought about it and inserted it directly into the hidden card slot that comes with the mask.As expected, a series of warning texts popped up in front of me, basically saying that this practice may violate federal laws and so on, which I completely ignored.

Although it can't be said that it is safe, at least it is considered to be quite guaranteed. I don't want to be targeted by others because of unclear things.

"That mask of yours... No, it's nothing." Luo Yan seemed hesitant to speak.

"Huh? What's the matter? Are you interested in my appearance?"

"Ah, no, sorry, you must have your own reasons..." He apologized.

"No, no. You can take it off now if you want to see it."

"Hey? So it doesn't matter?!" Luo Yan looked quite shocked.

"It's just a matter of idleness. If you have any strange fantasies, I will be very troubled." I said.If it weren't for hiding my identity and avoiding being found out that I am not from this world, I wouldn't be bothered to wear this mask. Although the breathability and comfort are excellent, it is still equivalent to something extra on my body, and it doesn't matter if I wear it for a long time will be tired.

"...No, let's talk about it later." Luo Yan finally defeated his curiosity and shook his head.

What a strange fellow, I thought.

"By the way, how long are we going to wait here?" I complained softly.

"Um, it shouldn't be long. The troops directly under the four major forces should have already set off, and we, who joined as mercenaries, will be the last to set off..." His words came to an abrupt end.It was only then that I noticed that those guys with bad eyes sitting quietly in the terminal hall had cast their eyes on me and Luo Yan at some point, looking malicious.

I decisively pushed Luo Yan to the front without saying a word, while I hid behind myself.Luo Yan looked at one of the strong men walking towards us with a speechless expression, sighed, and showed a serious look: "Is there anything you can do?"

"It's nothing, it's just a simple hello. Although I don't think it's possible, but just to be on the safe side, let's ask a question, you two brats, aren't you also mercenaries?" The strong man over two meters tall asked With murderous eyes, staring at us viciously.

babble!I let out a helpless whine in my heart.This is the first time I have seen a guy who can really kill with his eyes in reality. If Luo Yan hadn't stood in front of him, I probably couldn't help but fainted a long time ago.

Compared to my panic, Luo Yan looked at ease: "Of course, as you can see."

"Hey, hey, did I hear you right?" The strong man's eyes became sharper, "This is not the place for young nobles like you to come, or go back to your hometown early before you are scared to death Would it be better?"

"Thank you for your suggestion. I think so too. After all, this mission is different from the past. No one knows the real situation of the dead Xinghai today. No matter how many people go there, they will just die." Luo Yan He didn't give in at all, and calmly responded.

"...You really dare to say that." The veins on the strong man's forehead bulged, and the eyes of the guys around him became particularly unkind.Wow, that's why I said that it's better not to provoke that big guy at this time, isn't this just to provoke the upper body!

"Wait, that guy, don't you think it looks familiar?" Suddenly, one of the mercenaries looked at Luo Yan and whispered to his companion.

Hearing what he said, the mercenaries around began to murmur: "Hearing what you said, I seem to have some impression..."

"That legendary guy..."

"Has a soft and beautiful face like a woman..."

"The Undefeated King..."

"White Grim Reaper..."

Now even the burly man who talked to Luo Yan just now changed color, his face was blue and white, his face changed again and again, and finally he returned to his seat resentfully without saying anything.

Noticing that the atmosphere had changed again, I whispered to Luo Yan: "...they seem to know you?"

"Uh, maybe so?"

"It shouldn't be a simple acquaintance, what did you do to make them so... afraid?"

"Well, it's really nothing..." Luo Yan said vaguely.Damn it, I didn't expect this guy to be so secretive. Isn't this just like those male protagonists in novels who pretend to be aggressive?

This little farce passed quickly, and after another half an hour, a newcomer finally arrived in the silent waiting room.

"Everyone seems to have arrived." It was a woman in a stewardess uniform, who glanced at the mercenaries in the room indifferently.When I was stared at by her, I suddenly had the illusion that my whole body was seen through, but fortunately, she quickly looked away from me, and I was able to breathe a sigh of relief.

Humanity?No, is it a robot?Although it is no different from a real person, the feeling of inhuman strangeness cannot be easily removed.Having said that, I heard that because of a certain incident, humans should have stopped making humanoid robots a long time ago. There are only a few places that still remain. I didn't expect to see one here.

The other mercenaries also noticed the true face of the woman in front of them, and there was a little commotion.However, the female robot in front of her nodded as if she didn't realize it: "Your identities have been confirmed, and all the 21 scheduled employees have arrived. Please follow me to the next venue and prepare to transfer."

Chapter 75 Competition

Although everyone was puzzled, they followed the female robot one after another.In order not to attract attention, Luo Yan and I deliberately walked at the end of the line.Soon we boarded a circular platform together. After the female robot in the team leader pressed a few buttons on the central console, a light curtain immediately rose around the platform, but disappeared immediately. up.In the blink of an eye, we have come to another area.

Although I have already experienced space teleportation before when I sent the young lady to school, but no matter how many times, I still can't help but sigh the progress of technology.

"Welcome everyone to the Aloya Space Station. At the same time, this is also the largest space station in the Dawn Star System. All of you battleships have been fully maintained. Please wait in the conference hall for a while. My master will give you detailed answers about this issue. Doubts about this mission." The female robot bowed slightly to us, and opened a small door next to the teleportation room.It was a small conference hall, with a round wooden table in the middle, and the window was facing a crimson star, burning quietly and alone in this dark cosmic space.

"She just said, battleship?" I asked Luo Yan who was sitting next to me in a low voice, "Is it the kind of battleship I understand?"

"I don't know what battleship you understand... But when it comes to battleships in the universe, there is only that one."

"Hey, I didn't expect it to be... By the way, are warships allowed to be privately owned?"

"It is said that in the earliest days of interstellar land reclamation, it was indeed only allowed to be in the hands of the official, but after the dragon knight appeared, the ban was lifted. After all, the pure speed of the battleship is not as good as a dedicated transport aircraft, and the attack power is not as good as the dragon knight. The price is still very expensive, and only those guys who can't drive the Dragon Knight will choose to drive a battleship. But for mercenaries, battleships are quite popular. After all, mercenaries fight in daily life. On the contrary, there are only a few missions, and most of the time they are transportation, area exploration, etc. The danger is not high, and it would be much more convenient to have a battleship at this time. And it can also be used to store the Dragon Knight when it is not in use."

"So that's it, Luo Yan, do you have your own battleship?"

"Uh, yes, there is... But because of the pursuit of portability and the lack of transport materials, I only loaded the minimum protective cover and weapons, which are about the size of an ordinary aircraft." Luo Yan seemed a little embarrassed Said.

"Are you going to drive that battleship later?"

"Well, although you can also take Di Xiao's special fleet, it's better to keep a low profile in order to avoid revealing your identity." Luo Yan explained.

It was already exposed tomorrow.

Speaking of which, he was indeed wearing men's clothes today, no wonder I always felt a sense of disobedience, so it came from here.However, even if he is not wearing a maid outfit, his impression is that he has changed from a "cute beautiful girl" to a "handsome beautiful girl".

"Keep everyone waiting for a long time." The female robot dressed as an OL finally appeared again, and almost at the same time, everyone present received a request for communication.

I chose to accept, and suddenly a projection of a man sitting at the desk appeared in front of me.Looking at the appearance of others, it is probably the same scene as what I saw.The man put his hands in front of the table, and after a moment of silence he said: "First of all, thank you for applying for this mission. I am Otis L. Dixiao, and I am also the current manager of Dixiao."

Hey, hey, isn't this quite a big shot?If I'm not wrong, he should be Lota's biological father and Miss Pandora's uncle. I didn't expect to meet in such a scene.

"I won't repeat the redundant words. You must have known the mission goal in advance. After the second cataclysm, there was no news of the dead star's sea defense line. Although it is dangerous, but for all the legendary mercenaries. Say, it should be nothing." Otis said lightly, but no one answered.This kind of scene is nothing to say, even the previous border guards are all wiped out, and a few mercenaries are probably not enough to get through.Normally, they wouldn't even get close to the Dead Sea of ​​Stars if they were killed. It was only this time that the four major forces took the lead in joining forces, and the rewards were too generous, which made these guys finally tempted.

"As long as you participate in this mission, no matter whether you succeed or not, you will be rewarded with 500 million federal coins. In addition, if you destroy the recovered disaster beast materials in this mission, Di Xiao will recycle them at three times the price. At the same time, if you can complete The following special missions can also get extra rewards when they are settled." The man said blankly, and at the same time, a list was displayed in my field of vision, which was very similar to the mission list in an RPG game.These tasks include various terrain exploration, data recovery, etc., and the most eye-catching ones are naturally the bottom two tasks.

"1. Find the mastermind behind the large-scale coma incident.

2. Investigate what happened in the dead star sea when the second cataclysm broke out a year ago. "

The rewards for these two tasks are 8000 million... and 1 million Federal Coins respectively.The breathing of everyone present suddenly became heavier. After all, for the vast majority of people, this is an unimaginably huge amount. Even for ordinary wealthy families living in the imperial capital, the annual expenditure is only about one hundred thousand federal currency. , and the remuneration of 1 million Federal currency is enough for them to squander for several lifetimes without worrying about it.Even though they knew the difficulty of the mission, these mercenaries couldn't help but waver.

"By the way, the rewards for these special missions can only be obtained by those who complete them the earliest. Well, let's stop here for the extra words. I look forward to your performance." After the man said this sentence lightly, he unilaterally closed the communication.

After a call from the man, the atmosphere in the entire conference room suddenly became frozen.The mercenaries looked wary at each other, and most of them turned to Luo Yan, obviously considering him as the main competitor.Really, they started to stir up internal strife without even seeing the shadow of the mission target, what the hell are these guys thinking.And that guy Otis is really, he even specifically emphasized that only the first person to complete the task can get paid, isn't this forcing everyone to make trouble?It is absolutely impossible that he did not foresee such a situation, but even so, he still did it. In other words, is this result exactly what he wanted?

Totally do not understand.

Chapter 76 Past

"It seems that there is no way to catch fish behind other mercenaries now." I whispered.

Luo Yan glanced at me in surprise, and then smiled wryly: "With your strength, you obviously don't need to rely on others at all, right?"

"I just simply hate showing people who I really am." I stretched and curled up again to make myself a little more inconspicuous.I realized that I was not normal earlier than anyone else, and I have learned to pretend to be in order to maintain the minimum necessary interpersonal communication.Since then, I have become extremely disgusted with showing my true self in front of others, which is one of the reasons why when I heard that the equipment can be customized, I deliberately chose the mask.

"...Is it okay to be like this in front of me?" Luo Yan asked.

"Well, it's okay with you, because it feels like a long-winded old father."

"At least say it's brother." Luo Yan smiled wryly again.

Soon the mercenaries in the conference hall began to take action one after another.After the man's words, although everyone didn't turn their faces completely, they also had more reasons to be hostile to each other. Therefore, this already fragile union immediately fell apart like this.In order not to be involved in the struggle of the mercenaries, Luo Yan and I chose to go at the end and entered Luo Yan's warship from the dock of the space station.

As he said, this is not a big warship. Its appearance is only about the size of the living room in my previous life, and its interior is similar to the space of a bus. However, if it only accommodates two people, it is more than enough .Although I have seen Dragon Knight, the crystallization of the highest technology of human beings, I still couldn't help being curious about the interior of the spaceship, twisting and turning in the driver's seat, like a child driving a spring outing with his parents.

"This is the main console, and there is the bed and refrigerator. Considering the possibility of long-term missions, there is enough food for half a year. This is the bathroom, and you can also take a shower..." Luo Yan is like a tour guide He also patiently introduced the structure of the spacecraft.If there are two adults, this kind of space may be a little narrow, but "fortunately", both me and Luo Yan maintain a petite figure, which is "great".

"Is it very far from here to the Sea of ​​Dead Stars?"

"If it is a normal space transition, it will probably take more than a year."

"So long?"

"After all, it is about 1000 million light-years away from us, but this time is considered very short. However, because of the official support for this mission, it is specially allowed to use the special method that only the military can pass. The wormhole gate should reach the edge of the star sea in just a few days."

The speed has increased by more than a hundred times at once. Although it has been repeated many times, I still can't help being surprised by the level of technological development in this world.

"In short, just sit here, right?"

"Well, I have already handed over the driving to the AI. In order to meet the possible battle, please take a good rest."

Accompanied by a burst of sound, the spacecraft successfully escaped from the space station and sailed into the dark and boundless universe.At the beginning, I was a little curious, and I was interested in observing the huge and boundless superstar on the front right, as well as the drifting planet fragments everywhere.But soon, I lost interest, because this universe is too desolate. After leaving Planet Dixiao, we have never encountered other habitable planets. The plague beast group, but because the level was too low, soon even the dragon knight didn't even use it, and was captured by the weapons that came with the spaceship.Coupled with the fact that for safety reasons, the function of sneaking into the Eden network cannot be used when flying in space, I quickly fell into boredom because of the repeated dark scenes around me.

If I had known this earlier, I would have brought a few books or a game console.I fell into deep regret, and at the same time, I was also reflecting on whether I was too addicted to the "Eden Network" and became an "Internet useless person".Although Eden Network is omnipotent most of the time, there will always be special situations. At that time, can I really get rid of Eden Network to solve it?

Compared to my lack of facts, Luo Yan read the information about the Dead Star Sea and Calamity Beast very seriously.After a few days, except for eating and going to the bathroom, he has been sitting in the main driver's seat for the rest of the time. Even when taking a break, he would lie on the console for a while and then immediately joined the work.

"Hello." I finally couldn't help talking to Luo Yan after being too idle.

"What's the matter?" Even if the work was interrupted, he still said to me in a very friendly manner.

"Just say anything, let me pass the time." I said in a strong tone.

Facing my unreasonable attitude, Luo Yan just smiled wryly, but still responded to me patiently: "...Then, let me tell a little bit about my own story."

I immediately pricked up my ears, showing interest.It is absolutely impossible not to be curious about this man who looks like a beautiful girl.From his usual words and deeds, I realized that this guy is unusual.If my talent is recognized as "savior-level" by Lota, then in the deep network, Lota, who can cooperate with my movements to attack, is undoubtedly the top-level existence in the ability to drive a dragon knight.In addition, he revealed from time to time that he had been a mercenary, worked for the federal government, and sneaked in as a maid, all of which made me interested in his past.
