Hey guys, I like Two-dimensional

However, his words surprised the elves.The crowd's confusion and Qin Li's voice shook Chen Ling's eardrums.

"What are you talking about, Chen Ling! No matter how anyone looks at it, the battle is a failure! I understand your feelings, but the situation will not get better even if you act out of emotion!"

"I didn't mean to act out of emotion. But... no way——"

The moment Chen Ling said this, a sound like an alarm clock sounded in the bridge.

"What is this sound? A robotic doll that forgot to turn off its phone in a serious situation?"

"For a manga artist, that's a tasteless nickname, Niya. Now is not the time to ignore a full-time drunkard like you. Kotori, someone is trying to communicate with you here. What should I do?"

Erya and Maria spoke in a natural way, as if they were greeting each other.Kotori looked at them and frowned slightly.

"Communication? Well, connect the signal."

"learn."

Maria said this, and then the home screen rustled, and then a certain image appeared.

I thought it was the other party showing his face - but it was wrong.To put it bluntly, it feels a bit like a surveillance camera or a candid camera.Several people appeared on the screen, but no one seemed to notice the presence of the camera.

Moreover, there is more than one image.The screen was divided into fine parts, with images from several places appearing on the main screen.

Seeing this, Kotori frowned in surprise.

"Judging from the time point, I thought it was a communication from DEM, but is this?"

"Well!?"

Kotori tilted her head in surprise, and Tohka made a sound as if she noticed something.

"Ten Xiang, what's wrong?"

"Look at that scene, it's Ai Mai Mii!"

"Eh?"

Hearing Shixiang say this, Chen Ling raised his head.Indeed, on the screen that Tohka pointed at, Chen Ling's classmates Ai Yamabuki, Mai Hazakura, and Mii Fujikama appeared.I don’t know if it’s tutoring or doing executive committee work, but I’m still at school even though it’s a day off.If you look carefully, you can still see Tonomachi and Koju-sensei behind them.

No, it's not just that.As if Tohka was continuing her conversation, Origami slightly shook her eyebrows this time.

"——Captain, Mickey, and Milly?"

On the screen next to Mai Ai, AST captain Ryouko Kusakabe and Origami's former colleagues appeared.

"Hey, Miss Riyi?"

"Miss Huayin——"

"Ha!? What is that guy doing...?"

The elves spoke one after another.In other scenes, Miku's fellow idols Asakura Hieyi, Yoshina, Kanon Ayanokouji, a friend she made during the school experience of Nansui, as well as friends of Kaguya and Yuzuru were confirmed.

That's right.The people who appear on every screen are friends or acquaintances of the elves.

"What, this is..."

Chen Ling didn't understand the purpose of the image and frowned.

However, the next moment, something changed in the image, and Chen Ling and the others understood it immediately.

-The enemy's intentions.That's an extremely vicious strategy.

The window of the classroom where Ai Mai and Mii were in shattered beautifully, and then, several <Beasts> appeared beside the window with their inorganic electronic eyes squirming.

"Wow ah ah ah ah!?"

"What the hell, what happened!?"

"The school was suddenly attacked by a terrorist!?"

Ai Mai Mii's loud shouts echoed through the loudspeaker across the bridge.

Then, as if matching the sound, the same thing happened in other scenes.

"What...is this from DEM!? What's going on!?"

"Team, Captain! Where's the emergency suit-"

"Unfortunately, in the vault..."

"Ah!? W-what is this...scare me!?"

"Wait...! Why did a robot suddenly fall from the sky!?"

"Miss Huayin, you want to attract people's attention again. Say this... wow, it's true. Miss Huanyin sometimes tells the truth."

"What are you touching in a strange place!? Run!"

School.Self-Defense Forces Station.Concert venue.A street dyed red by the setting sun.

Even in the streets where the space earthquake sirens did not sound, mechanical monsters appeared.

"Varied--"

That's a situation that wouldn't happen normally.Elves are secret existences, and similarly, controlling the manifestation device of the Beast is not a technology that can be made public.

It is not something that a normal person can do to expose his crime openly and openly in front of everyone, and also intends to harm ordinary citizens.No matter how much power the DEM industry holds, it is impossible to achieve a perfect ending to this point.

No - maybe, they felt there was no need to end it.Regarding this possibility, Chen Ling looked extremely embarrassed.

"——Yeah. Can you hear me, everyone from <Ratatosk>?"

When Chen Ling and the others were trembling, another sound different from the screams and destruction came from the loudspeaker.

Extremely calm, yet pleasant--if you want to modify it, it's very irritating--the man's voice.Can't be wrong.It is Westcott, executive director of business operations at DEM.

"Westcott!"

Chen Ling said the name of the person calmly but with anger.

"Ah. How are you? Are you enjoying it?"

"You despicable and shameless guy! What is your purpose...!"

Chen Ling said with great disgust, and Westcott replied as if nothing had happened.

"Purpose? Yes, it doesn't matter what I am."

"What did you say?"

To the confused crowd, Westcott continued.

"Ideally, they should function as hostages. In that case, I will declare this as the most vicious kidnapper. If I want them to survive, I will hand over all the spiritual crystals that Chen Ling holds. I."

"asshole!"

Chen Ling was angry, although he felt that the other party's purpose should not be concerned about this, because he could not agree to such a thing.But Westcott, who understood this, still chose to use such rhetoric to disgust him. This guy was trying to anger him, and he had succeeded.

Chapter 636: All-out war! Elves vs. DEM

Westcott was obviously disgusting Chen Ling and even tried to anger Chen Ling.He succeeded.However, Chen Ling is different from other people. Even if he is provoked, he will not be too impulsive.What's more, he is not alone.

At this time, Kotori put her hand on Chen Ling's shoulder as if to say "calm down".

"——I'm sorry, are you looking down on us too much? We are still good at weighing gains and losses. If I give you the spiritual crystal, the world may be completely rewritten. Of course, along with the people we are supposed to protect Together.—We will not do such foolish things in the heat of the moment."

Kotori lowered her voice and said this.But her cheeks were sweating and her brows were furrowed deeply.Maybe you should be thankful that this is just a voice call.

Of course.It was obvious at a glance that Kotori did not say these words calmly.Originally, I already wanted to call Westcott a despicable person.

But doing that would only make the disgusting thing in front of you even more pleasurable.So Kotori must dress up as a calm and cold commander. ——Tell the other party that such threats are meaningless.

In response to Kotori's words, Westcott said "Hmm" and continued without being surprised.

"Well, in that case there is no other way. I can only order them to be killed as cruelly as possible like a merciless dictator. Seeing the scene of my friends being brutally killed, even if only one elf is reversed, I will make a profit. arrive."

"...!"

This time, not to mention Chen Ling, almost everyone looked at Westcott with anger and hatred.

In fact, although these elves' friends are very important, they will not turn their backs on them.But just like Chen Ling's situation, Westcott must also know this, but still chooses to use such rhetoric to disgust people.

Kotori gritted her silver teeth and crushed the lollipop in her mouth, but she remained calm on the surface.He responded in a calm tone without fear in his voice.

"Oh, that's really scary. We need to cut off the image immediately. He went out of his way to announce to us that there are such enthusiastic enemies."

"Oh, this is really a mistake. There's nothing we can do about it. Even if the elves don't reverse it - it's enough for me to enjoy."

"——Then, let's start the Q&A. First, let's try to dye a few images with blood. After that, let's hear your thoughts again."

"live--"

Without waiting for Chen Ling to stop him, Westcott snapped his fingers as if giving instructions to the beast.

......

In comics and other works, there are often scenes like this, where a character encounters an unexpected incident and pinches his cheek because he suspects that he is dreaming.One thing is that it's because I don't feel pain in dreams... or something like that.

Every time I see this kind of scene, Yamabuki Ai will laugh it off, saying, "That's a lie, who would do that?"She felt that, in the final analysis, it was just a way of expressing comics.It's definitely just an action to better express the character's dazed look.

However, it seems that it is necessary to correct this view in the future.

After all, the mysterious robot group suddenly appeared by breaking the school window. At this time, it was the right time to pinch the cheeks to determine whether he was in a dream.

"E-hey...what is this...?"

Ai muttered blankly, pinching her cheek with her right hand, and her expression turned into an inexplicably funny look.

By the way, although her fingers must have been exerted, she didn't feel much pain.No, it’s clear that it’s not a dream, but maybe the brain is secreting things like dopamine, endorphins, and beta carotene in order to cope with unexpected events.

The number of robots is five.No, after all, this is just the number in the classroom, there are still several floating outside.The body that is larger than a human is equipped with thick arms and sharp claws. No matter how you look at it, it is a type that is good at fighting, suppressing and killing.

The only people in the classroom now are Ai, her friends Hazakura Mai, Fujihaka Mii, Okamine Takee who is the homeroom teacher, and classmate Tonomachi Hiroto.At least, I couldn't find anyone who seemed capable of fighting the mysterious battle robot(?).

"Yam, Yamabuki-san, Hazakura-san, Fujihakama-san...! And Tonomachi-san! Danger! Run away quickly!"

Teacher Xiaozhu said this while her slender body was trembling.

However, the robots dispersed like they were trying to surround Ai and the others, and formed a formation in front of the door that led directly to the corridor.He acted like he would be attacked if he ran away.

"Wh-what's going on with these robots!? They're not just heroes in terms of design!? If I have to say it, they're an army of evil!?"

"Could it be that robots are used against humans to kill the commanders of future generations of humans, and they specifically traveled back from the future where humans and machines war!? Really or not, will I become such a great person!?"

"Ahhhh! Help! Just one time is enough. Before I die, I really want to bury my head in a girl's thigh!"

Mai, Mii, and Tonomachi held Ai's right arm and left arm tightly respectively, hugging her thigh and moaning.Ai temporarily kicked Tonomachi away.

The next moment, the robot that was peeping at Ai and the others started to move as if it had received some order.Walking towards Ayi and the others at a slow pace.

"Varied......"

"Well..."

"Well......"

Ai Mai and Mii each made such sounds as if their throats were squeezed dry.

However, this is all they can do.It's probably because of fear that my body can't move.Even if he could move, he didn't know how to escape.

At this time, the robot approached them.The inorganic alien locked its slow-moving electronic eyes on Yai's body, and swung its claws that looked like large knives.

"what--"

at the same time--

Ground Self-Defense Force Tiangong garrison.It is one of the Japanese defense strongholds where Self-Defense Forces members live and work.

Of course, in response to disasters and emergency situations, various troops are stationed here, including the secret force AST, which specializes in dealing with space earthquakes - elven disasters.

It would be no exaggeration to say that this force, composed of special combatant mages who control manifest devices, is the strongest among the public forces existing in the country.Instead of attacking here, it would be better to attack the Metropolitan Police Department or the Capitol Building, which would be a bit less difficult.

but now.In front of the aforementioned AST unit captain Kusakabe Ryouko, the impossible happened.

"Varied......"

In the resting area in the corner of the team building, while talking with Mikie Okamine and mechanic Mildred F. Fujimura, both members of the AST, suddenly several humanoid machines appeared.

Ryouko was impressed by that look.It is DEM's unmanned weapon <Beast>.

However, even if he knew their identities, Liaozi could not immediately understand what was happening to him.

Although it is not completely frictionless, DEM still provides technology to AST, which means it is still in the position of a partner.If you think about it normally, it is impossible for those weapons to attack Liaozi and the others.

However, it is obvious that the <Beast> is now taking a fighting stance towards Ryouko and the others.They locked Liaozi with their electronic eyes and waved their claws.
