Miss Witch doesn't want to be a diva

Raindrops streaked across the car window quickly, hitting the car body and causing splashes of water.

Tilan looked at the bustling city outside the window and her vague reflection on the glass. Many thoughts passed through her mind, and a faint tension and expectation rose in her heart. She closed her eyes slightly and recalled this feeling.

It seems that there was one time a long time ago, when her sister took her out on a rainy day. They took the elevator and came to the ground of Payin City.

The sky is gray, the raindrops are falling rapidly, the world is noisy and quiet, and the smell of water vapor and soil hits your face.

If her parents were around, she would definitely not be allowed to wander and play in the rain, because the rainwater in the rainy season is corrosive and can easily cause colds and fevers.

But her sister didn't care about this. She held her hand and ran towards the rainy world. The wet rain fell down instantly, soaking her whole body and making her feel cold, but not too cold. After all, it was a holiday in July.

Good children should not do bad things, should not break the rules, and should listen to their elders. This is the right thing to do.

However, following her sister running in the rain, she also felt a completely new experience and happiness. Her feet stepped into the puddles, splashing large waves. The water flow passed through the gaps in the sandals, and the water traces and sediment passed through. The clothes slipped off her calf. Anyway, the clothes were already wet, so she didn't have to worry about it. After all, she was wandering in the heavy rain, so she wouldn't get scolded no matter how much she shouted or screamed. Anyway, her sister took the lead, so she didn't have to worry about her mother's blame.

Such freedom, complete relaxation and release, running regardless of everything, made her feel alive and jumping, and she could not forget the feeling of that day until many years later.

She had a lot of fun that day, and she didn't feel bad even when she was scolded by her mother after she returned home. After that, she took a bath and had a very good night's sleep.

Speaking of which, because of her personality, she rarely did such things that proactively broke the rules. Since that time, without the guidance of her sister, she has never tried playing alone in the rain again.

It would be childish for a child to do this kind of thing, but now she is a mature adult and can do what she wants without restraint. This is not because she is ignorant, but because she now knows the consequences and has done well. Be prepared to endure this.

The speeding hover car passed through the most prosperous area of ​​South District 1 and gradually approached the remote industrial area. An hour later, five hover cars descended rapidly from the sky. The light blue air jets baked the ground and puffed up the overflowing air. airflow.

Then, the car door opened, and a pair of slender legs wearing small leather shoes were lifted out. The toes of the shoes landed on the water-stained ground, spreading weak ripples.

The transparent umbrella was held up, and the black-haired Tilan stood below, looking at the mountain-like tall buildings and buildings in the distance. This is the headquarters of 'Cosides' and the largest production base.

There is a roadblock sign in front of the road. Vehicles with rotating police lights are parked on the periphery, blocking the area. There are some pedestrians standing on the road outside the street. They are watching here, watching the noise coming from time to time in the area in the distance. There were explosions and tearing sparks. From time to time, people fell from the stairs, and from time to time, people were carried away by ambulances and sent away from this place.

Regarding the fight between 'Isiel' and 'Cosides', the police did not directly intervene. Instead, they restricted it to a certain area and did not affect other normal federal residents. If someone escaped from this area, they would Treatment will also be provided, but the premise is that the other party will not go back.

Patent wars between large companies are not a child's play. If the police must intervene forcefully, they will pay a heavy price and even sacrifice some police officers. Moreover, even if they intervene temporarily, as long as the money of these companies has not been burned out and the hatred has not been resolved, the conflict will It will never end, and the police cannot waste police resources on this area for decades.

Instead of forcibly intervening to stop the war, it is better to let them solve it within the scope, wait until both sides are hurt and exhausted, and then enter into mediation and settlement, and the punishment should be punished, and the jail should be jailed.

Therefore, although there is no express provision in the law, as long as the patent wars between these companies do not affect the civilian public, the police will not forcefully intervene.

"Quaa la -" There was a sound of glass breaking, and a figure was thrown out of the window, fell down the tall building, and landed on the ground.

The blue uniform, the stripe code and the emblem on the chest all indicate that he is a member of 'Cosides'. This man seemed to be struggling, and then he was lifted up by the ambulance personnel who arrived and sent away. He suffered a lot. It's a serious injury, but fortunately it won't be fatal immediately.

A person wearing a black suit poked out of the window. He took a personal terminal and took a picture of the man falling from the building. Then he returned to the building again, and then there was another sound of fighting.

"Those are the members of the 'Repeating Machine' office. They have very strong combat capabilities. The most common members have Sequence 4, and wear a full set of 'Z-4' series combat attire from 'Qi Mo Workshop', as well as ordinary firearms. It's impossible to break through the defense." Sharp-eyed onlookers recognized the identity of the member in the black suit.

Inside the corridor, two members of 'Cosides' in blue crouched down, and three members stood. They held black square box stun guns in their hands, aiming at the man in black suit who was approaching quickly, and the bright electric current passed through them instantly. Crossing the corridor, he hit the man in a suit, causing him to bounce up and tremble instantly.

After temporarily controlling the opponent, these 'Cosides' members did not relax their vigilance. Three of them once again put on the electromagnetic pistols on their waists and fired continuously, but these bullets only left a little burnt marks on their suits. The traces were then bounced and scattered.

As members of the agency who specialize in combat, their protection cannot be penetrated by ordinary firearms.

After the attempt to kill failed, the three members dropped their pistols and contacted the building's control AI in the headphones. Soon the elevator on the side of the corridor opened, and the autonomous unit inside sent out a truck of shaking water tanks.

Three 'Cosides' employees picked up the water guns on the water tank and shot at the office members who were still disturbed by the current and unable to get up.

The light blue water column washed away, and the liquid in it solidified quickly after falling on the members of the office. Soon a blue-white solidified colloid was sealed in the corridor, and the office member inside lost his fighting ability. He may have just passed out, or maybe He was suffocated and died inside, but no one cared about it at the moment.

Now that these firm members have accepted the entrustment, they are prepared to die in the patent war. The rewards of such an entrustment are extremely rich, and it is also equally dangerous.

In the lobby on the 22nd floor of the building, ten members of the firm wearing white masks rushed through the barriers placed in the lobby, quickly approached amidst the shooting of the members of the 'Cosides' on the opposite side, and then used vibrating high-frequency particle knives to split the isolated The barrier was followed by a one-sided melee battle. Many gathered members of Cosides were cut down, and the screams and alarms continued.

‘They broke through the defense line, and the controlling AI in Building 3 is about to fall! ’

A Cosides security captain at the rear was reporting to the rear, but in the blink of an eye a masked man rushed in front of him, stabbing the captain in the chest with a long light orange knife, causing him to tremble and then lose his fighting ability. .

Then came the finishing work. These members of the firm skillfully injected forced sedatives into the surviving 'Cosides' members present, making them fall asleep. Then several members smashed open the metal protective glass outside the building to control the AI. Let's shut down the high-end AI inside and pull out the chip.

As a result, the remaining Cosides members in this building will no longer be supported by the control AI, and many autonomous units will also lose control.

Time is running out. After solving this building, leaving a small number of members to search and search, the members of the 'Serializer' office rushed to the next building. They must solve everything before 12 midnight today. This is what the federal police can do. Tolerance deadline.

Outside the headquarters of 'Cosides', Hesia glanced at the distant building. The aftermath of the battle and the fluctuation of magic power continued to come from it, allowing her to perceive the general scene of the battle inside.

At present, the firm hired by Isiel should have the upper hand, but...

She turned her gaze and looked at the dark red floating airships flying over the horizon. When they came over Cosides, the hatch at the bottom opened and combatants wearing dark infrared skeleton armor jumped in. The roof of the building below.

The still intact top elevator quickly opened, these members rushed into the elevator, and then rushed to the fighting sites. On top of some sunken buildings, they also began to set up defense lines, with crimson shields connected together, and the cannons behind the exoskeleton shoulders. As the pipe rose, a slender and blazing stream of fire erupted from the top of the building on one side, directly sweeping across all the floors on the opposite side. They were named one by one. The flames poured into the room through the melted and broken glass, forcing the office members inside to leave the floor and move towards a direction to drive.

"That is?" Hesia asked.

"Those are the 'Vulcan Heavy Industries' combat troops. They are a well-known military industrial enterprise in the Four Leaf Crystal Star Region, and the equipment they use is also produced by their own factory." Anneli explained at the side.

"Due to federal law restrictions, general offices and companies cannot possess military-grade combat weapons without authorization, but companies that produce military products are not within this scope. They can legally possess them."

"These combatants are members of the security company affiliated with 'Vulcan Heavy Industries', so they can also use the company's weapons. They should have been urgently hired by 'Cosides' because 'Vulcan Heavy Industries' is a 'Starship Faction'" Members, they have always remained neutral and will not easily fall to one side."

"It's from the military faction."

The girl recalled carefully that after the big split and relocation of the military-industrial enterprises in the Four-leaf Crystal Star Region, there were not many left. Most of them gathered around the group camp headed by the 'Thunder Edge Academy'. Not dominant.

"Although it is just employment, the participation of 'Vulcan Heavy Industries' this time will affect the balance too much. Let the academy contact 'Vulcan Heavy Industries' to question their actions." Hesia ordered.

"Yes." Anneli returned to the car, turned on the car's computer, and quickly contacted the academy to report the situation at the scene.

A few minutes later, Anneli came out of the car.

"The academy has responded and is already communicating with the top management of Vulcan Heavy Industries."

While the two were talking, the fighting in the headquarters of 'Cosides' was still going on.

Inside the building, heavily armored soldiers rushed out from the elevator shaft and swept across with thick gun barrels. Dense and turbulent scarlet gold bullets were shot out, beating the walls on both sides of the corridor into honeycombs. Members of the office who tried to break through from the corridor were also killed. Hit by dense bullets, the protective clothing that had easily withstood small firearms was quickly penetrated. The bullets that penetrated the chest swept these desperate office members into sieves.

"Damn it, back off!"

The situation at hand was overwhelming, and the commander of the office gave orders through the headset. Soon, these elite office members began to avoid these combatants wearing flaming red skeleton armor.

At this point, these Vulcan Heavy Industry combatants swept all the way. Even if they encountered tough office members on the road, they could rely on strong firepower to defeat and kill them. The defense line that had been broken through layer by layer began to stabilize again, 'Cosides 'The core building was cleaned up and placed under martial law. Several surrounding buildings were also rearranged by 'Cosides' personnel. Temporary bunkers were erected one after another, and each floor was blocked from each other. The injured people were rescued. Send it to the platform on top of the building and be taken away by the hovering shuttle boat.

It took less than 20 minutes before the support from ‘Vulcan Heavy Industries’ arrived, which shows the organizational discipline of ‘Cosides’.

Time passed by minute by second, and soon the car computer behind Anneli sounded a beep. She went in to connect the contact, and came out after receiving the message.

"President Heshia, Vulcan Heavy Industries stated that the contract has been signed and they cannot violate it at will. However, considering the opinions of Eds, they agreed to remove half of the personnel."

Just when Anneli was reporting, there seemed to be some commotion at the Cosides Building. Soon twelve hovering airships flew from the sky, and then some fighting Vulcan Heavy Industry personnel connected to the airship and began to return.

"These guys have absolutely no credibility!"

"I spent such a huge price of 10 billion to invite you, but you are so perfunctory!" In the building of Cosides headquarters, a middle-aged man looked at the dark red floating airship flying away outside the window and cursed angrily.

No wonder the always neutral 'Starship Faction' group has taken action. 'Cosides' has spent a huge amount of money this time.

"Manager, calm down. In any case, they still have half of the people left, and they have given us a lot of equipment. As long as we hold on until 12 o'clock, the federal police will intervene. At that time, 'Isher' and Eds I can't stop thinking about it." A young assistant tried his best to comfort the man in front of him. He still had a bandage on his head and some blood on his body.

"Hmph!" The man threw something for a while, his anger subsided a little, and then he frowned and walked back and forth.

Although Vulcan Heavy Industries is somewhat dishonest, they don't have the energy or time to worry about it. In this patent war, 'Isel' is risking their lives. Asking these firms to serve is not a cheap thing, and If you initiate a patent war on your own initiative, you will definitely be severely interrogated by the Federal Tribunal, and you will have to shed your skin even if you die. If 'Isiel' cannot obtain the patent information of 'Cosides', even if it takes back its own part, the company will still have to lose its skin. It is destined to fail to operate.

Considering the possibility that the other party would jump over the wall and fight for his life, the man felt a little worried, and then picked up the communicator to contact the highest authority in Cosides. Soon after, the Vulcan Heavy Industries personnel scattered in various buildings began to shrink and gather. Go to the most central core building to defend, and have the personnel of 'Cosides' headquarters set up various blocking facilities to try their best to delay the possibility of the opponent's attack.

When 'Cosides' was mobilizing its personnel, the firm hired by 'Isiel' did not take any action. They began to redesign the offensive route and deploy manpower.

After the discussion, the representatives of these offices looked at each other, and finally picked up their communicators and told their subordinates to start the operation.

A screaming tracer bullet rose high to illuminate the night sky of the entire area, and then a white light flashed, and a violent lightning strike fell from the sky, hitting the central building of 'Cosides'.

Blue current seeped into the interior of the building, causing a large number of lights to temporarily go out. Then, in a moment of chaos, black shadows crossed the night sky and swooped towards the top of the central building. The people who jumped among them were all wearing black full-coverage protective clothing and were agile. , they held blue beam sabers and quickly shuttled through the fierce bullet storm, approaching the heavily armored Vulcan Heavy Industry combatants.

The sword light splashed and bullets spurted out like fire.

Despite their fierce firepower, these heavily armored warriors were not flexible, and each of these raiding personnel was above Sequence 5 and was an elite operator who was very good at close combat.

The blue flow-type lightsaber waved in the dark night, leaving a blurry afterimage on the retina, and then violent sparks lit up. It was the sparks and noise of the lightsaber cutting armor. Soon an explosion bloomed on the top of the building and spread. The fragments knocked down a large number of people, but the battle still had no intention of stopping.

In order to stop these elite agents from the office from attacking, the remaining "Vulcan Heavy Industries" combatants on the roof picked up flamethrowers and sprayed them in all directions. The intense flames flooded the top of the floor.

Some of the agency's elite officers couldn't bear the burning and had no choice but to jump downstairs. Some were attacked with fire by the soldiers of the 'Vulcan Heavy Industry' and their bodies were broken into pieces. They were also in the blazing flames, but these bodies The heavily armored 'Vulcan Heavy Industry' combatants obviously have better resistance to high temperatures, and they also use this to offset their disadvantages in close combat.

However, the battle situation did not turn to the side of 'Cosides', because the raid on the roof was just a means to attract the opponent's attention, and with a bang, the sewer entrance at the bottom of the building was breached, and a man named Agents affiliated with the office quickly rushed into every corner of the floor, and then dropped timed explosives attached to key load-bearing locations.

【Countdown 00:02:59】

The orange numbers start to beat.
