Chapter 04: Land of Sighs (4)
Tick-tick-tick-
Durota played with the silenced rifle, the black gloves that fit her skin closely outlining her beautiful hand shape. She hummed a brisk tune and walked from the pedestrian street to the alley on the side, aiming the muzzle of the gun at a deep place, and the smile on her lips deepened.
Here.
Dorota turned the pistol, but it only slowed down the aliens. After all, killing aliens was not her primary goal.
The sound of dripping water was continuous and seemed too sticky. A huge black shadow crawled down the wall, saliva flowed from its fang-filled mouthparts, corroding the ground as it dripped, and the dense eyes on its ugly body stared at the "prey" in front of it.
A mid-level alien that grew from a lizard.
Dorota had to admit that she was disgusted.
Although the monsters in the imperial capital were semi-solid and difficult to eliminate, they were not that malicious after all.
The hoarse roar expressed the desire to eat. Dorota stopped laughing and raised her gun impatiently. The rapidly moving shadow of the alien was reflected in her pupils. Its speed was extremely fast, but in Dorota's eyes it slowed down, slowed down, and slowed down again, allowing her to capture and analyze it at will.
The pitch-black muzzle accurately locked onto the eye on the deformed body and fired several shots, one after another, accompanied by the angry screams of the alien. The moment the monster's long tail swept past, Dorota jumped over the wall lightly. She swung her gun and pulled the trigger, exerting force with her feet to avoid a new wave of attacks.
The bullets that could not penetrate the solid skin fell to the ground, and the alien spit out its teeth and looked at the "food" sinisterly. The girl strolled leisurely on the narrow wall, looking calm, but the next second she pretended to step into the air and disappeared.
She took the weapon from the leg ring wrapped around her thigh, and the sharp dagger replaced the pistol in her palm. A cold light flashed, and she reappeared behind the alien and suddenly slashed across its spine with a horizontal knife, decisively and cruelly.
The eyes on the back of the alien moved, and its spiked tail attacked in an instant in an attempt to trap its prey. Dorota bent back slightly, turned her wrist and stabbed the tip of the knife downwards, but the monster's long tail flexibly swung around and rushed straight to her neck!
The damaged combat uniform revealed shallow wounds, and the red scars were healing quickly.
The dagger turned into a long sword and turned an angle to stab the alien's heart. The distance was too close and the speed was difficult to avoid. The shell that should have been impenetrable was broken, and blood splashed. The girl with a face as pure as an angel was not stained at all. She
was actually injured by an alien.
The corners of Dorota's lips curved, but it was only limited to a smile, and the real smile was not pleasant.
As expected.
"My ability has become weaker."
Her tone was calm, and the protracted final tone was slightly raised. It was unclear whether it was a question or a determination.
"The newly formed body will be very weak, and it will take a few weeks to gradually return to the state of your prime." The observer also noticed the target of her question, and took the initiative to communicate and explain, "After a week, you can freely exchange between the two bodies, and your earrings are the medium."
No wonder she is so tired recently.
Dorota didn't reply, but she suddenly tightened her grip on the long knife and stabbed it down into the ground, forcing back the transparent tentacles that had extended to her feet. She glanced at it with cold contempt.
Here we come, high-level alien species.
"Prey" smiled.
The points delivered to your door should not be wasted.
The huge, transparent body of the alien perfectly blends into the environment, and it is so well disguised that it would be difficult for her to detect it if the truth was not revealed to her. Mucus flows through, and countless tentacles squeeze out of the cracks and twist wildly, rushing towards the girl.
The groups of obstructing tentacles are cut off by the long sword, and they grow again after falling off. The cold white arc cuts through the vision, and the moment it sinks into the monster's body, it is firmly sucked in and cannot move!
The excessively flexible elasticity is enough to resist all attacks.
Dorota lazily lifted her eyelids, and she gently raised her palm upwards. Ice pillars filled with chill rose from the ground and swept all the monster's wrists, covering the ground with frost, extending from her toes, and even turning the surrounding walls into ice walls.
The monster's movements were restricted, and the restricted tentacles emerged one after another to hit the ice surface, but they could not break through.
The alien was trapped temporarily.
The icicles rushed to the sky, which was comparable to the high-rise building covered with clouds in the distance, as if in silent provocation, and were so dense that they formed an artificial ice field, which was chilly and cold, and included the surrounding area in the kingdom of ice and snow. She looked far away in the direction of the imperial capital, her eyes lightly passing over the alien's body that was damaged beyond repair.
The next moment, her figure disappeared from the spot.
[Estimating the score...]
[Candidate A-2206 scored a total of 220 points, and the score was judged to be "excellent".]
[An additional 50 points were awarded for killing high-level aliens.]
[Congratulations, your score ranks first in this competition. 】
"The results and rankings of the practical competition are out! The scores of the top few are so close... No, what's the situation with the first place? The gap is too big, isn't it? She has directly left the second place far behind."
"Oh, you mean her, it seems that she is an exchange student who just came this semester. It is said that she killed three high-level aliens in a row. How can the score gap not be big?"
"?? What are you talking about? Exchange students are so powerful now?!"
[The wonder of Fuxiao District: the frozen White Whale Street and surrounding buildings] (Hot)
[All aliens in White Whale Street have been eliminated]
"There is a sixth-level awakener in charge of the dawn, so the traces of supernatural powers should not be preserved so well."
The coldness climbed up his spine and penetrated into his bones, leaving an indelible strong breath. The young principal of Slane College clicked on the most popular post in the school forum and compared the photo with the scene in front of him. There was a slight flash of surprise in his eyes, "Are you sure this is the masterpiece of our sophomore student?"
"Yes, this is what we saw on the training bracelet of the combat department student No. 2206." The person next to him opened the terminal and played the video in front of him. The training bracelet that students must wear before the game will not only record their scores, but also some clips. "I think you will be very interested in this video."
The first half of the video was in black screen state. He dragged the progress bar for most of the jump before he saw the blurry picture that seemed to be looming due to poor signal.
The black in the pale world was the most vivid stroke. The slender figure was upright and cold, and the beautiful and soft profile seemed to have become extremely sharp.
She raised her hand casually, and the ice spikes pierced through all obstacles and easily penetrated the alien body.
The overlapping icicles obscured her face, only a little of it could be seen vaguely.
Like a long knife with roses wrapped around it, the roses were not a foil, but a symbol of publicity and strength.
She was indeed the one who killed the high-level alien. However, a question suddenly popped up in the mind of the principal of Slane College - is she really a magic-type awakener?
"Student No. 2206...?"
He suppressed the inquiry in his heart, and his eyes were stained with a bit of seriousness.
"What's her name?"
-
Federal Administrative Center, Executive Building.
The Executive Building, praised as the "Heart of the Federation", has always been busy. Office workers in formal attire come and go, rushing to different routes. In the busyness, occasionally a tired-looking person looks up at the dark blue figure at the door of the hall.
Next to that person stood a young man with a similar uniform, but his clothes were more noble, and he had an additional delicate badge with a snake-coiled scale.
——Only the Chief Inspector of the Procuratorate is qualified to wear this badge.
The Procuratorate is the only entity in the Federation that does not belong to any faction. It is a third party and is the gap between the Fifteenth District and the Imperial Capital. It monitors the Imperial Capital and the Fifteenth District in an absolutely neutral capacity and maintains the order of the Federation as an "impartial judge."
There are a large number of matters in the Imperial Capital that need to be approved and stamped by the Procuratorate, and it is common for inspectors to travel to the Executive Building.
"I heard that 'Night Watch' hasn't woken up yet?"
He dragged out the last word as if asking a question, and nodded slightly when others saluted him as he passed by. His movements were arrogant and nonchalant like a powerful person.
Cecil turned to look at his subordinates, and after getting an affirmative answer, he chuckled meaningfully, "It's really interesting. The royal family coveted his power and reached an agreement with 'Reunification' to implant new 'instructions' to control him. Paradoxically, they are also wary of the most uncontrollable of the executives."
"The most interesting thing is that they probably didn't expect that they would not be able to suppress the mad dog of the Eternal Day District Executive."
"After all, he is a madman who only cares about 'night watch' and doesn't even care about his own life."
"And they can't kill him. I'm afraid the imperial capital has been turned upside down in the past few days."
"Ah... Are you talking about the incident at dawn in District 15?" Cecil turned around indifferently after hearing the latest report from his subordinates. The sensor door of the hall opened automatically, just like the people behind him, silently bowed to see him off. "He is just an ordinary senior official. What kind of waves can he cause?"
"But..."
He turned his deep red snake-shaped ring, as if looking into the man's deep pupils.
"It is very much like the 'night watch' style of behavior."
At this time, the central figure of the topic, who was thousands of miles away, was being nagging by his own students.
"Single-handedly killed a high-level alien! You are so awesome!"
"Are you a magic awakener? I haven't told you about my ability yet. Did the teacher tell you about it?"
Dorota took a candy and stuffed it into his mouth, and the young man's endless words were immediately blocked. Makisuke's eyes widened in shock, and after he reacted, he tore open the package, bit the hard candy and said vaguely: "You like sweets? You always seem to bring a lot of candy."
"Not like it."
The girl's voice sounded calm and gentle, but Makisuke just wanted to see the expression on her face for no reason. Unfortunately, she didn't turn around, and still walked in front with a slow pace, as if she never stopped at any place even for a moment.
But he still heard her slightly lazy words.
"It's just a habit."
Her brother always liked to carry a few candies with him, and handed them to her with a gentle smile. It was a clumsy way of coaxing people, and it was extremely childish.
Her friends were the same.
Dorota bit the candy in her mouth, and the sweetness spread, wrapping around her nerves, but she only felt bitterness, but in the end, they were gone.
"Let's go."
She suddenly turned around, flicked his forehead with her finger, and took her hand away while he was in pain. She said helplessly: "Don't reveal your ability to others casually."
"But you are on the teacher's side." Makisuke was aggrieved and tears welled up in his eyes. "Can't I tell you?" "
...It's up to you."
Makisuke suddenly became interested. He raised his hand slightly to signal Dorota to shift his attention to his hand. The gloves gradually disappeared and turned into stars. Candy fell into the palm of the young man, like a carefully prepared surprise. "My ability is [Analysis and Reconstruction]."
"You can decompose an object into another object, but the prerequisite is that you have a full understanding of the specific composition of the two objects, and the quantity and volume are also limited."
"Great ability." Dorota praised in cooperation, and then asked him, "Have you told anyone else?"
"No, except for You Bai who already knew about my ability, no one else knew, and my roommate only knew a little bit."
Not too stupid, knowing to hide some life-saving information. Dorota nodded with relief, "Let's go to the training ground, there are still ten minutes to go."
Makisuke walked in front to lead the way. Dorota half-closed her eyes and didn't know what she was thinking. She chatted with him casually, and occasionally made a few perfunctory remarks. The observer took the opportunity to ask her: "You are so high-profile to show your magic ability... Are you trying to confuse people?"
Although the ability of Yongzhao Executive has always been mysterious, as far as he knows, this person is not a magic type.
"Binggo, very smart."
Dorota suddenly perked up a little. She poked the small ball of light in the sea of consciousness with interest. Whether it was intentional or she really didn't control her strength, she pushed the small white ball and it shook and staggered. "After all, we will definitely face the people in the imperial capital in the future."
"Oh, sorry, I didn't expect you to be so weak."
Her voice sounded smiling, as if she was not disguising her mischievousness.
Observer: "..."
It feels like she is taking revenge.
After the game, there is a two-hour break, and there is also a simulation training on the schedule, which is a daily course. As the first supernatural talent academy in the 15th district, Slane Academy's training configuration is naturally not bad.
The silver-white venue was simple and clean, but lacked vitality. It was decorated with a few artificial flower ornaments, and the cold and shiny corridor seemed to have no end. Dorota followed the guide into the single-person training room, where the huge simulation cabin was waiting silently.
She walked closer, the red light of the scanner leaked out, the iris data was recorded, and the mechanical arm stretched out to lift the helmet connected to the brain nerves.
[Identification in progress...]
[Successfully authenticated, please enter the simulation cabin. ]
The cabin door closed, and the cold light with extremely low saturation dimmed a little, falling on her long, thick eyelashes. The mechanical sound of the system echoed in the small, closed space.
[Scene loading...]
[Simulation training has begun, the time limit is two hours, please manage your time well.]
When she opened her eyes again, the scene around her had already turned upside down.
[I wish you a happy hunting.]
