Kapitel 126: To be a man, we must "respect" the old and love the young
"So great!"
Upon arriving at the base, Mine saw [Ladder of Heaven] from outside and called out:
"Just now it was really far away, it looked really small, but I didn't expect it to be that big!"
"This is next-generation black technology that can accelerate shells smaller than 800mm to sub-light speeds. I think the acceleration orbit looks a bit small, but I don't know how the world defines speed under light."
Ryota also looked forward.
It seemed very intuitive that the two [Ladder of Heaven] orbits that extended side by side for 1.5 kilometers across the sky at an altitude angle of 70 degrees, included a wispy cloud.
Looking up from the ground, the top of the orbit is not visible because it is obscured by clouds.
He had to say that the shocking effect was still very sufficient.
But when he thought of the term sub-light velocity... He always felt that his orbital acceleration was still short.
At least the circumference of the equator should be drawn into a straight line, right?
"Mine, wait a moment, I will contact Seitenshi."
Since there was no need to come here, Ryota immediately put Mine down.
After Mine left Ryota's back, a hint of reluctance rose in her heart.
It's great not having to walk alone! And at such a fast speed, looking at the receding scenery around her with her head tilted with satisfaction in her heart.
Even though she bit her tongue a few times halfway through, it didn't hurt too much.
After the quest was completed, all wounds would heal, so what was this little sore?
The other side.
Ryota took out his cell phone, made a call and said:
"When we return, we don't need to rush, and you don't have to worry about biting your tongue, Mine."
"…Wait a moment!" Mine suddenly said, "I think it's better to go home sooner."
"Why?"
"Shiro, think about it, there's no antidote like you mentioned to suppress the virus outside of the Monolith, what if we get infected?"
Mine said earnestly.
If it gets infected, it won't get sick right away, and it would be fine to go back to repair after the mission is over... Ryota originally wanted to say it.
But after seeing Mine's expectant eyes, he swallowed those words subconsciously.
He suddenly understood.
Mine's current state of mind was probably akin to someone getting on a high-speed train or plane for the first time… No, maybe even more excited.
After all, ordinary high-speed rail can run at less than 350 kilometers per hour, and there is no real open-air high-speed experience.
(Poor child, if I have the chance in the future, I will take you on a plane.)
Ryota glanced at Mine, then got down to business.
The call connected quickly.
"Shiro?"
Seitenshi's nervous voice sounded.
Ryota skipped the troublesome etiquette process, and got straight to the point:
"Sorry, we failed, the Tokyo Area will soon be wiped out."
Seitenshi: "..."
...
Ryota slowly tells Seitenshi that Kagetane has performed the Stage 5 Gastrea calling ceremony.
The worst has already happened.
Now even if they returned Legacy of the Seven Stars, it would not be of much help.
Just when Seitenshi was panicking and confused.
Ryota told her that he and Mine were now at the outskirts of the [Ladder of Heaven] base, and the entrance to the base was ahead of them.
As long as the Seitenshi gave permission, they could immediately use this generation's superweapon to annihilate the upcoming Stage 5 Gastrea in one fell swoop.
After listening to the report, Seitenshi was silent for a while.
She felt as if... She had been conned?
If she didn't know that Ryota was a member of the guild, she would have suspected that this man was with Kagetane.
If Ryota knew what Seitenshi was thinking right now, he would definitely tell her– you think too much.
Destroy the Tokyo Area—this was entrusted by Tendo Kikunojo to Hiruko Kagetane.
The goal is of course to create a crisis like desperate situation, so that people will hate the Cursed Child even more under the great depression.
At that time, as long as public opinion was guided a bit, the contradiction would shift to the Cursed Child.
The entire Tokyo Area would probably hate the Cursed Child.
So much so that they took the initiative to hunt down and kill these children who had been abandoned long ago.
Of course, the old man certainly didn't intend to completely destroy the Tokyo Area.
There are some precautions remaining.
[Ladder of Heaven]—— this should be one of the methods he has.
As for whether it will play… This is a probability event, and no one can guarantee it.
However, Tendo Kikunojo's hatred for the Cursed Child had reached its peak.
As long as his plan had the possibility of succeeding, presumably he would carry it out.
Never miss an opportunity to persecute the Cursed Child.
But Ryota was not involved in this incident from start to finish.
He didn't do anything.
He always maintained the mental state of not taking the initiative, not resisting, and irresponsible handling of the Kagetane incident.
So he doesn't have anxiety like Seitenshi.
At most, it was out of consideration for completing side quests and not providing Seitenshi with detailed information.
He knew, but he didn't say it—you can't say I tricked you, can you?
...
After the conversation.
Seitenshi had no choice but to agree to Ryota's proposal.
Until now, she could only bet on Ryota.
"Oh? The map came so quickly, the work efficiency in the Holy Residence is not bad."
Ryota looked at the phone screen with joy on his face.
After signaling to Mine, he walked towards the base gate.
The facility light flashed at the same time as the two approached.
The transmission network from the mainland had been abandoned for ten years without any maintenance work.
But after turning on the power again, it can be used immediately... If it weren't for the backhand left by Tendo Kikunojo, Ryota dared to read his name backwards!
"This world really is full of conspiracies..."
Ryota sighed with emotion.
"Why are you saying that all of a sudden?" Mine asked strangely.
"It's nothing, just treat them as my own words…"
Ryota shook his head, not really deep into this topic.
The two of them gradually entered the interior of the base along the path indicated by the map.
The facilities stretched underground like an anthill, and the buildings exposed were just the tip of the iceberg.
Moreover, the interior of the building is quite complicated, Ryota took Mine long before arriving at the central computing room.
If he didn't consider that random damage could cause damage to some precision instruments, he really wanted to crash into it!
"This is where the map shows."
Ryota stopped and looked around.
The dome-shaped room occupied a large area, and computers and other instruments were installed everywhere.
From the front corner, he could see an enormous panel of cold light, it was amazing that it was still immaculate even after ten years of abandonment.
All that emerges is a sense of conspiracy.
Ryota walked to the central control panel according to Seitenshi's instructions, took out the terminal connected to the outside and inserted it into the cell phone.
"Password is..."
Seitenshi's crisp voice came from the cell phone.
Ryota listened as he typed, and a 20 digit unlock password was quickly entered.
This gave him the illusion that he was launching a nuclear weapon.
"Connection complete, Shiro, facilities and headquarters are transmitting data, as long as the launch procedure is completed by our side, you can leave now." Seitenshi reminded.
"No, not yet." Ryota refuses.
"...Why?"
"Seitenshi, your technician doesn't have much knowledge of physics."
Ryota immediately boasted.
"How big is the magnetic field to sustain a sub-light speed electromagnetic gun? Once [Ladder of Heaven] is activated, long distance transmission will definitely be affected. At that time, not only won't communication be maintained, but you won't be able to control the equipment here either. Therefore, the two processes of aiming and launching had to be done manually. "
"Manually..."
Seitenshi's voice suddenly trembled:
"Shiro, are you sure? It's about the survival of the Tokyo Area! What if..."
"Rest assured!"
Ryota looked at Mine: "After all, I have a shooting genius on my side."
As soon as the words fell, Mine's expression at the side changed.
Such trust makes her emotions really lift.
Stretching her flat chest, Mine said confidently:
"Leave it to me!"
...
In this way, Mine became familiar with the [Ladder of Heaven] launch process.
Seitenshi was probably in a hurry, before [Ladder of Heaven] was fully activated, she carefully repeated the precaution to Mine several times.
Ryota took the opportunity to pick up the dropped bullets and finished loading them.
Poor Rentaro, before he even appeared on stage, his accomplishments were snatched away by Mine.
Moreover, only a few people on their side knew about the news that a Stage 5 Gastrea was about to come out.
It's late again.
As long as Mine eliminated the Stage 5 Gastrea sooner, the people of the Tokyo Area wouldn't know that they were nearly wiped out from start to finish.
Tendo Kikunojo's plan failed.
It can be considered as a complete wedding dress for them.
"It's a pity that this old man's personality has been corrupted by Manaka, otherwise..."
Ryota let out a light sigh.
Too bad he couldn't see the scene where Tendo Kikunojo was vomiting blood in anger.
