So I became a witch

"You recovered faster than I thought." Catherine looked at Luo Yan and said.Luo Yan just responded with a wry smile, and sat on the guest chair beside him without saying anything.

"I called you here this time because I actually want to entrust you with a task." As soon as we sat down, the legion leader said straight to the point.

"...Is it a task related to the attack of the judge?" Luo Yan asked cautiously.

Catherine nodded: "That's right, that's right. There are many weirdnesses revealed in this attack, and two judges were involved, which is really unbelievable. Because according to the previous investigation report of the federal government, the judges Although the power of the beasts is strong, they cannot easily leave their 'territory'. This is one of the reasons why we have been able to contend with the disaster beasts after the second catastrophe. But now, this law seems to be being broken. If The Inquisitors have indeed found some way of breaking free... with disastrous consequences."

Hey, wait, it's true, I just said that a few judges are not a problem, unless a dozen or dozens of judges appear together, the flag will not come true like this, right?Is this a little too fast?

"—So, I would like to ask you to investigate the cause behind this incident."

"Senior sister... Legion Commander, you should know that we are still mercenaries." Luo Yan sighed and said, "We are still on the way to investigate the student's coma incident, and it would be unreasonable to take on another mission. .”

"It's okay, as long as it's a special mission for the military." Catherine took a sip of tea with a normal face, "I won't limit the time of the mission, as long as you are on the way to complete the mission, you can stop by to investigate. OK."

"...It sounds like a blind cat hitting a mouse."

"Exactly. The disaster beast's attack plan failed this time. I'm afraid they won't be asking for trouble again in a short time, but after all, it involves the task of the judge, and most of the active sequencers have important tasks. It is impossible for them to participate in this kind of clueless investigation. After thinking about it, only you are the most suitable candidate."

"Sister, you are asking me to die." Luo Yan smiled wryly.

"It's just asking you to investigate, not to fight with the judge. What are you afraid of? Even if you do meet, you can escape with your strength. After all, you won the 'No.1 under the sequence'" A man with a throne."

What? This sounds like a title to be used as cannon fodder, but considering the number of Sequencers, this guy Luo Yan is actually quite powerful?Although it is not yet comparable to me.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"...It's just a false name, I'm far from mature now."

"Really, but I am very optimistic about you. After all, you are the 'knight' chosen by 'that'." The legion leader smiled slightly.

What, what are these two people talking about?Damn, this feeling of being left aside and talking to myself, the last time was when I was in junior high school, in order to avoid the embarrassment of not having any friends, I had to lie on my desk and pretend to sleep every time during breaks and extracurricular activities. Every time, a guy who doesn't understand the atmosphere deliberately sits next to me and chats about the latest movie star animation, which makes me more and more embarrassed.I didn't expect to experience such a scene after arriving in this world, it is really unreasonable.

"Aren't you eager to be treated as air, so that you won't be noticed and get into trouble?" Zero said.

"One size counts for one size, even if it is me, I will be upset if I am really ignored."

"Hey, it's really complicated." Zero said with a sigh.

However, the two of them obviously didn't notice my displeasure, and chatted about all kinds of daily life like I was like air, such as anecdotes from their school days, or recent developments.However, thanks to this, I finally learned something about Luo Yan's past.

To sum it up, what kind of template is this for the protagonist of a novel?Both of his parents died when he was young, and he lived with his elder sister, who was born as a dragon knight designer. After aspiring to become the strongest dragon knight driver, he entered Qianyu Academy to study. He received a lot of attention when he first entered school. Teacher Qiangzhe also frequently gave small lectures, invited girls with green plums from the sky, and beautiful girls with mysterious identities... If you just read the first half, there is no doubt that it is the kind of vernacular novel of the level of Long Aotian.

However, everything changed after meeting that person.

I remember, the name seems to be Qianmo?The subsequent plot is just like what Luo Yan once told me, the encounter between the girl who is determined to revenge and the boy who has forgotten the past is destined to usher in tragic luck.

"...Thinking back now, what a miserable battle it was. In front of that guy, I didn't even have a chance to backhand." Luo Yan laughed bitterly at himself.

"That's not because you're weak, it's just that he's too powerful. Sequence Eleven, the blood of heaven, the strongest under the savior. In today's era, he is indeed worthy of the title of strongest, but you Not necessarily inferior to him." The legion leader said seriously, "Don't you already have it? The strongest weapon that can rival the sequencer, that special dragon knight from the hands of the 'princess'."

"...That's right, the me now is different from the past." Luo Yan took a deep breath, his eyes filled with determination, "One day, I will challenge that man again. In order to get her back again."

"Then, go forward with your belief, and don't die before it is realized."

"Yes, thank you senior sister for your teaching." Luo Yan said solemnly.

"You really haven't changed at all." Catherine smiled and shook her head. She withdrew her smile and said seriously, "This is the end of the guidance as a senior sister, and the next step is to be the part of the army commander. Now, I As the commander of the third border defense base, I will officially assign you and the other two the task of investigating the truth of the beast attack. This task will not be limited in time, and rewards will be issued according to the progress of the investigation. As an additional reward, the base will Bear all the costs of repairing the dragon knights of you two, and open the star gate at the same time, how about this condition?"

"That's really helpful. With the repair machine specially provided by the army, at least it's much more convenient than finding and maintaining the galaxy ourselves." Luo Yan said with a sigh of relief.

"It is estimated that the repair work will be completed tomorrow morning, and you plan to leave at that time, right?"

"Well, compared to other mercenaries, we have fallen too far behind. I want to solve this task as soon as possible."

"Really? Good luck to you then."

"Ah, there is also the disaster beast we defeated before..." Luo Yan suddenly scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Those materials, the army will purchase them at normal market prices..."

"Well, actually Patriarch Di Xiao said at the beginning of the mission this time that he would recycle at three times the price..."

Catherine gave him a blank look, and said angrily: "Okay, okay, I'll keep it for you first, and I'll return it to you when you come back. After all, you can't drag such a bunch of things to war, right?" .”

"Uh, then thank you senior sister first." Luo Yan said sincerely.

"Go, go, I still have a lot of things to deal with. If you have nothing to do, just go aside." The legion leader waved his hand and said as if he disliked him.

"Okay, then I won't bother you, senior." Now that he has achieved the result he wanted, Luo Yan has no intention of staying any longer.

"Ah, wait a minute for that girl." The legion leader said suddenly.

I thought I would have escaped like this, but was suddenly called, and I was so frightened that I trembled all over.But now I can't pretend I didn't hear it, so I had no choice but to turn my head and pretend to be expressionless and asked, "...what?"

The legion commander sized me up carefully, his eyes sharp as if he wanted to pierce me.After a while, her gaze finally softened again, and she said to me with a smile: "Before, if you hadn't broken the barrier set by the judge, we would have been killed in one go, thank you very much. "

"...It's just a coincidence."

"Really? Anyway, I owe you a favor. If there is a need, please don't hold it back."

"……Um."

"Then, in the end, I wish you two a safe journey."

After finally returning from the army commander, I decisively fled back to the room, and Luo Yan also returned to his own ward. After all, I was forcibly dragged away just after waking up, and it seems that he still needs some time to recover.I lay on the bed and stared blankly at the ceiling, only to find Zero's figure suddenly appeared in the air.

"It's just a projection, and only you can see me." Zero explained, circling in the air, "Does this feel more appropriate?"

"...Well, at least it's much better than the voice of an invisible guy suddenly ringing in your head."

Zero slowly landed on the bed from the air: "You are really not good at communicating with others."

"It's so loud! I'm just not used to talking to that type of guy!"

"Obviously I haven't had a single friend in Dalian since I was a child."

"...It's just that I don't want to hand it in."

"Hey, is that so?" Zero said deliberately dragging his voice.

"It's so noisy! Then what about yourself!"

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"Humph."

"What is that smug expression, it makes people angry just looking at it."

"In this world, no one is lonely." Zero said softly, "We hope to be close to each other, but we are afraid of hurting each other because we are close."

"Then, as long as you don't date from the beginning, it will be fine."

"...It's not like this. Life is destined to end at the beginning of its birth. Life and death are very understandable forces, but only the middle journey from birth to death is ours. You can choose. It’s hard to come to this world, so many stories you haven’t experienced, so many scenery you haven’t seen, so many things you haven’t tried, wouldn’t it be a pity if you didn’t experience it once?”

"It's troublesome, I don't want it."

"Haha, that's because you are still young, so you don't understand the fun in it."

"You obviously look about my age, but you look like an old woman no matter how you talk."

"After all, we have seen a lot. In short, don't regret it until the end."

"That kind of thing, even if you don't tell me, I will know."

"Really? That's really amazing, and I'm very pleased with my mother."

"Whose mother are you?!"

As a result, after being disturbed by this "loli old woman", I lost interest in surfing the Internet and lay down hastily under the blanket.

This night, I haven't dreamed for a long time.Because in the space base, I can't judge the morning and evening by the sunrise like on the earth, so I can only adjust my schedule according to the clock.

Not long after I went out, I saw Luo Yan also appear in the aisle.He seemed to be recovering fairly well, at least his complexion was much better than yesterday.Of course, this is also thanks to the medical level of this era. Even if there is only one head left, it can be replaced by a complete body through cloning technology. On the contrary, mental trauma is difficult to heal.

"Looking at you, doesn't it seem all right?" I took the initiative to go up and say hello.

"Well, it can be regarded as saving a life." Luo Yan shrugged, "The legion commander sent me a message in the morning, asking us to go to the repair factory by ourselves, including the use of the star gate. She herself will not come because of her busy schedule."

"Huh, it looks like I don't have to see that guy at all." I said with a sigh of relief.

"...You seem to be very afraid of Senior Sister?"

"It's not fear, it's just that I'm not good at communicating." I corrected him.

"So, I remember that you really don't seem to communicate with others... You obviously look quite different when you talk to me." Luo Yan sighed.

"Probably because I instinctively feel that this guy is not a threat."

"How dare you say that... Forget it, this is the Dragon Knight Repair Factory."

With the opening of the automatic door, we entered an extremely wide place, like Gulliver who strayed into the kingdom of giants, there were various "steel giants" everywhere, technicians in white coats walking around, Control the mechanical arm on the podium or disassemble or carry various equipment.

This is the first time I have observed the internal structure of the Dragon Knight so closely. Countless wires and various templates with unknown functions are combined. Just by looking at it, I feel like my brain is about to explode.

"After all, one of the key points of Dragon Knight's design is to 'imitate the human body'." Luo Yan, who was born in the designer's family of Dragon Knight, seemed much more proficient, and explained to me as he walked, "As humans, we naturally It is more familiar with the human body. In order to improve the "synchronization rate" between the driver and the dragon knight as much as possible, the dragon knight will basically be made into a human form. Not only the appearance, but also the internal functions of the human body should be imitated as much as possible .”

"However, the human body is not perfect, right? After all, the human species has only evolved to adapt to the environment of 'Earth', but it is far from enough to fight against alien monsters, right?"

"Well, this is also a big problem in the design world. If you want to pursue the strength of the machine body, then the suitability will drop; if you want to blindly match the synchronization rate, then the machine body strength is destined not to be higher. The key to becoming a top designer One of the conditions is to find an optimal balance between the two. According to the conditions of different drivers, design the most suitable dragon knight. Not many people can do this perfectly. This is why , the reason why top designers are even rarer than drivers."

"I see, is it such a difficult thing to make a dragon knight from scratch?" I asked thoughtfully.

"Hmph, after all, it is the power of the Aide tribe that has been handed down from the Star Era to the present. Even if mere human beings have obtained our inheritance, it would be too overwhelming for us to surpass our technology in just a hundred years." Zero followed me closely and said proudly.Of course, I am acting in a projection mode that only I can see.

"You're speaking too much like a villain, aren't you?"

"It's just telling the truth. Even considering the frailty of human beings, we have deliberately adjusted the output level and set up multiple limit locks in order to avoid unmanageable situations. As a result, we did not expect that the abilities of human beings in the future will be so unbearable." Yeah." Zero shook his head.

"Indeed." I agreed.If the human beings in this world are a little bit more aggressive and drive out all 478 dragon knights, there is no need to be afraid of the mere judges, and there is no need for me, a foreigner, to be busy here for the future of human beings.

"...I always feel that you seem to be saying something bad behind your back." Luo Yan had a delicate expression, and of course I denied it.Together we came to the maintenance tank mentioned by the legion commander. The two "giants", one white and one silver, stood side by side, leaning quietly on the support behind them. The traces of previous battles had disappeared, including several The wounds that were pierced and torn have now fully recovered. It is indeed a maintenance facility dedicated to the military, and it seems to be much more reliable than the civilian ones.

"Ahem, are you two the drivers of these two dragon knights?"

Luo Yan and I turned our heads at the same time, and saw an old man with white hair but still ruddy complexion appearing behind us at some point.He looks extraordinarily tall, at least 1.9 meters above, and his physique is very muscular. If it weren't for the white coat he was wearing to prove his status as a maintenance worker, I would have thought he would be a movie star who ran out from the martial arts studio next door.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"Well, may I ask who you are..." Luo Yan asked cautiously.

"It was a brutal battle." The old man didn't answer, but looked up at the two dragon knights, and said to himself.

"Huh? Ah, yes."

"Please be more careful." The old man patted Luo Yan on the shoulder, turned around and left like that, leaving us in the same place with dazed faces.

What a weird guy.I silently remembered him in my heart.

After such a small episode, we still successfully recovered our own dragon knight.

"All the parameters are very normal... It seems that it can be used normally." While manipulating the console, I checked the situation of the Dragon Knight.

"It's really too much, you already have someone, but you still shot at other dragon knights~~" Zero floated beside me, like weeping.

"This is also for insurance. To deal with ordinary guys, as long as you have it, it is more than enough. If there is a monster that can't even deal with it, it's time for you to appear. This is the so-called killer."

"In that case, it would be fine to drive me from the beginning, why bother?"

"It's not because you are too eye-catching. Whether it is targeted by the government or the disaster beast, it is not a good thing for me. After all, the nirvana is easy to be used too much. As for, 'Saints won't be knocked down twice by the same move', that's the truth. And, from the chronological order, you are the latecomer."

"It's too much to call someone a mistress~~"

Ignoring Zero's tricks, and after confirming the communication with Luo Yan for the last time, I switched the operation mode to manual, drove the Dragon Knight out of the base through the launch tunnel, and returned to the universe.Generally speaking, the Dragon Knight will be equipped with two systems of soul connection and manual control. Compared with the soul connection, manual control does not need to consume mental power. Even if the Dragon Knight is damaged, it will not be reflected on the driver. However, the same driving The difficulty will also increase several levels. For example, playing a moba game with a delay of 10000 ping, when you react, you don’t know how long a team battle is over.Therefore, manual control can only be used to relieve the driver's mental stress during spaceflight at most, and it is impossible to fight.

"The life support device and the gravity system are working well... It seems that there is nothing wrong with it." I was slightly relieved, and there was also a message from Luo Yan that everything was ready.

"The next step is to go through the star gate...but where is the star gate?" I asked.

"Huh? Didn't I say that? The so-called star gate...is the planet itself." Luo Yan said unhurriedly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the planet surrounded by four frontier space bases suddenly split into four pieces like a watermelon that had been cut open.Before that, I was always curious about the function of this planet, but now I finally understand that it is actually an "iron ball" whose interior is completely composed of machinery. The dense mechanical components and veins are connected together to form a planet. This huge and complex machine.And in the center of the split planet, a "black sphere" is quietly floating.

Such a statement is not accurate, in fact, it is not necessarily black, it only appears black because its existence swallows up all the surrounding light.If you want to call it with a formal scientific name, it is - "black hole".

"You mean, we are going to enter this 'black hole'?" I asked with a slow response.

"Otherwise?" Luo Yan asked back.

"No, that, but, is this a black hole? A black hole with an infinitely small singularity and infinite density? Even with the strength of the Dragon Knight, won't it be torn into elementary particles the moment it enters?"

"Where did you learn those backward knowledge... Don't worry, the technology of using black holes to open star gates has been developed for hundreds of years, and it is quite mature." Luo Yan comforted me, "And crossing The stargate does not enter the black hole itself, but uses its own twisting force."
