Ke Xue's Magical Girl

The Ferris River just divides Uppsala into two parts: the west of the city is the ancient city, which retains the historical style; and the east of the city is the administrative, commercial and residential areas.

Uppsala Cathedral is located in the urban area of ​​Uppsala in the west. It is the landmark building of the city. It is a typical Gothic church with a very high dome and windows covered with stained glass.

At dusk, the Ferris River was as bright as gold, and the frosty moon walked along the grass by the river to the majestic red buildings not far away. Two towering minarets almost divided the sky into three pieces.

But to Frost Moon, the twilight spreading across the sky was like a drugged patient lying on an operating table, with the spire pushing against his wrinkled skin.

Erasing her sense of existence, Frost Moon quietly entered the oldest church in the Nordic region.

There are rows of seats in the middle of the church, and there are several sarcophagi of archbishops on both sides. There is a huge organ pedestal in the middle corridor, and the innermost is the altar for the priest to worship.

The cathedral is beautiful with its splendid pillars and frescoes on the ceiling.

It's very beautiful, Frost Moon thought, and I can play with Kayao when I have time in the future.

She turned into a side aisle, entered a chapel, and found one of the seats.

In this magnificent and sacred place, who would have thought that an inconspicuous small cellar is the secret meeting place of the cartel?

There is a piece of tinfoil stuck in the gap under the seat, like a scrap of ordinary food wrapping paper, with a string of simple characters printed on it.

Very simple misplaced encryption cipher.

She restored the tin foil and put it back under the chair, and by the way explored the way in the cathedral in advance.

Frost Moon does not believe in the existence of gods, or in other words, does not believe that gods will love those devout believers.

She has no reverence for the gods.

She simply appreciates the ancient beauty of this church, she appreciates the solemn atmosphere, the beautiful sarcophagus, and even the piety on the faces of the priests, as well as the faint divinity of the whole church.

"My child, this is not the time for worship."

A gentle and old voice suddenly came from behind, and Shuangyue turned around in a little surprise.

It was a priest, and he was not speaking to Frost Moon, but to another boy of fourteen or fifteen.

With soft short golden curly hair and blue eyes, the boy silently stared at the angel mural on the dome, stubbornly not answering.

The priest waited patiently, standing with him looking up at the fresco.

The boy had a dead silence and calmness that didn't match his age, and there was no expression on his face with a few freckles. If he didn't blink his eyes from time to time, he would almost look like an exquisite doll.

Shuangyue glanced at the two standing between the seats, turned her head and left without hesitation.

There are too many people in this world, and too many stories.

She is not interested in learning about them one by one, she doesn't even have a clear memory of her first life.

The only person she took the initiative to get to know was Kayao, and the reason was on a whim.

It takes too much time and energy to know everything about a person, and she has never been too lazy to spend this energy.

For her, as long as she can control their current psychology to achieve her goal, it is enough.

----

Meeting Rei Hayami, Shimotsuki unsuspectingly led him into her room.

Standing at the door and hesitating for a moment, Rei Hayamizu closed the door under Shuangyue's urging, and moved into the room with difficulty.

They booked a deluxe single room, which has a lot of space, and besides the soft and spacious bed, there is also a large leisure area.

They spread out all the information they got from the target location on the table, and the two were thinking about the same code.

"It's Finnish." Frost Moon knew some Finnish. She closed her eyes and arranged and combined the codes in her mind, drawing a conclusion based on the customs and habits of Sweden and its surrounding areas.

Hayamizu was silent for a moment when interpreting the code written by Shuangyue, and felt the limitations of her knowledge.

Finnish is an agglutinative language. Verbs, nouns, and adjectives all change in case. It is also a comprehensive language. The grammatical relationship between words is mainly expressed by the morphological changes of the words themselves. Therefore, looking at the printed text, Even the endings of place names have many variations.

Since most European languages ​​belong to the Indo-European language family, while Finnish belongs to the Uralic language family, Finnish word roots are very different from most other European languages, and because of its complex grammar, it is recognized as extremely difficult to learn language.

In Sweden, only minorities in large cities can speak Finnish, and the introduction of English later made it even rarer for the younger generation to understand Finnish.

"Don't worry, after all, this is not within the learning scope of undercover agents." Shuangyue comforted.

Undercover Hayamizu's eyelids twitched.

At this time, mentioning that he is an undercover agent, is Kazdelli implying something?

"From the end of the word here...to the front...the grammatical relationship between these two words should be..."

Rei Hayami observed the girl secretly, but couldn't find anything strange from the other's expression. Was she really just comforting him?

"At twelve o'clock in the evening in three days, Sigtuna S2."

Frost Moon finally wrote the conclusion on the paper, and she raised her chin: "Although random dislocations were used, and English and Swedish were used in a circle, but after all, it is only a code used to communicate with the members, and it will not be too complicated. "

The head-scratching letters on the paper looked like a villain with claws and claws. For the first time, Rei Hayami felt that her logical thinking was useless.

If it is zero...

No, even Zero cannot learn Finnish out of thin air, Rei Hayamizu remained silent.

Shuangyue's knowledge is too wide, and the knowledge reserves in all aspects are also very deep. If it weren't for the daily relationship, he might think that the other party is a hundred-year-old monster.

The actual combat ability, marksmanship and blasting ability are also terrifyingly strong. He couldn't help but glanced at the girl's hand wrapped in bandages.

If he heard correctly on the train, the crisp sound came from the bones, right?

He didn't think that his subconscious actions could hurt Shuangyue, did he encounter something that hurt her before?

The last time I saw Frost Moon was when she had just finished meeting Boss, and she wore a locator around her neck.

It's what the Boss did to her.

He draws conclusions for now.

"Sigtuna is located on the shore of Lake Mälaren. It used to be the capital of Sweden in history, but now its permanent population is less than [-]." Frost Moon, who had read the travel brochure for a long time, read out the simple information slowly.

The information in the tourist brochure at the station here is quite complete, including the addresses of Shasla's family, and even Anderson's pick-up location.

Her thoughts wandered briefly.

She brought Hayamizu over, but the other party was not familiar with Sweden, and being able to collect information on three people in a short period of time was enough to prove his ability.

The work of deciphering the code still needs to be familiar with the local Frost Moon.

but……

"There is basically no reasoning basis for the name of this stronghold." Shuangyue showed half-moon eyes, "It should be named randomly and compared with the location."

"Could it mean South?" Rei Hayami made an unnutritive guess.

But it's still possible.

"Perhaps so," Frost Moon fiddled with the knot of the bandage casually, "The source of the code is closely related to the inventor's living environment, just like dockers may use container numbers, doctors may use drug codes, and students may use textbooks Page numbers, etc., if I were a 〇 dealer, the leader of a 〇 peddling group, I would not use the product number as a code, it would be too easy for the police to find out..."

"The simplest and least possible way is the most reassuring." Her expression became strange, "Your guess may be right."

Hayami Rei is only a member of the action team, and he is usually more accustomed to obeying orders. It was not until he was assigned to Kazdeli in the past two years that he began to be responsible for planning and commanding, but his ability is definitely not bad.

In fact, Rei Hayami just made a random guess: "..."

"Anyway, Sigtuna is not big," Frost Moon put down the draft paper, and decided to use the simplest and rude method, "There are some peripheral members here who live in Sigtuna, so why don't they try it out? "

Hayami Rei, who was already thinking about what if Kazdeli planned to blast Sigtuna directly, was inexplicably relieved.

It was a small town with a population of [-], not to mention that it was the peak tourist season in June, and there were not a few tourists who came to visit.

No matter how arrogant Kazdeli is, she won't be able to bomb/bounce the map cannon, right?That is likely to lead to unforeseen consequences, even war.

Rei Hayami put away her absurd thoughts.

The organization has a low-key principle. Kazdeli has been punished for the plane incident nine years ago, and she should not repeat the same mistakes.

Sensing Hayamizu's strange eyes, Shuangyue looked at him suspiciously: "...Is there any problem with my plan?"

Why do you look at her with a look of "you don't want to blow up Sigtuna?"

No, no, the question is why can she read such complicated meanings?

Even though she has a strong ability to perceive other people's emotions, she deliberately revealed the content of the mission nine years ago, but her image in Hayamizu's mind is not crazy enough to slaughter the city at will, right? !

This is at least a peaceful world, not a high-risk world like fire 〇 or sea 〇, right?

Shuangyue reviewed her actions in the past few years. Compared with bombing planes and the US ICPO headquarters, she has restrained herself a lot, right?

So Rei Hayami, who was looked at by her with innocent and pure doubts, also began to reflect on herself.

The elders in the Swedish branch had a very unanimous evaluation of Kazdeli: madman.

Coupled with the fact that the pressure on both ends of the run has been a bit high recently, he may have overcompensated for Shuangyue.

Rei Hayami rubbed her temples.

The emotion revealed inadvertently during the relationship between the girl and him, she sincerely advised him to leave the organization, chose to remain silent when she saw Glenwitt again, and reminded him to leave the organization for the second time, the secret cooperation reached by the two...

"Shuangyue, how old are you?" he asked.

The doubts in the girl's eyes were even worse, she even looked at a mentally handicapped child, and finally replied under his insistence: "...17 years old."

Yeah, she's still just a 17-year-old kid.

What was he doing when he was 17?

He was studying, talking about dreams and the future when he was shopping with Zero, and the relatives who adopted him were also very kind to him. He had good classmates and friends, and his brother cared from time to time. He would suffer from insomnia and anxiety because of his childhood experience, but He lives in the sun and does not face the tension of a group of dangerous people at any time.

Frost Moon has lived in the organization since she was a child. She has absorbed dark nutrients from the soil where she planted. She has worked hard to survive in the harshest environment. It is the result of struggling in the abyss to be able to grow into the current flowers. What does he have? Qualification requires her to grow into a beautiful sunflower?

Her leaves are sawtoothed, her stems are thorny, and her flowers are highly poisonous, but she tried her best to restrain the danger on her body and tried to blend into the sea of ​​sunflowers without hurting the people around her.

The police wanted to cut off her saw teeth, pull out her spikes, and dissolve her poison, but that would be too painful, Hayami thought.

He just wanted to bring some sunshine to her, loosen the soil, pour clear water and enough nutrients little by little.

She doesn't need to be a sunflower.

She doesn't have to deny the darkness and sins of the first half of her life. She can use her talents to grind open wire with sawtooth, pierce the darkness with sharp thorns, and kill pests with her poison. She should pay for these sins and live a better life. .

The author has something to say:

1. The descriptions of Sweden and Uppsala Cathedral come from the Internet. In short, I have never been to _(:3」∠)_.

2. According to the arrangement of the plot, the priest and the little boy should be related to certain events later - but I am too lazy to think about it, let's just treat it as a passing background board. (If I think about it later, I may mention it)

3. Hayami: How come Frost Moon has so many things?

Frost Moon (Mask of Pain): If you have perverted parents you probably will too.

4. Gin: Again, our organization needs to keep a low profile.

5. Although Shuangyue is 17 years old, she is not 17 years old in the traditional sense, but she is indeed 17 years old (tongue twister).

6. From the perspective of Rei Hayamizu: Shimotsuki is not a sunflower at all, she has grown a weapon to protect herself in order to survive in the abyss, she does not need to force herself to become a sunflower. (Probably because you have not suffered from others, so don’t persuade others to be kind)

Hiro is really gentle and gentle. After realizing that he may have misunderstood Frost Moon, he will check the mission nine years ago. There may be hidden truths, but 87 lives were really lost in Frost Moon's hands. This is undeniable.

——The following has nothing to do with the text——

7. The watch has a flashlight function!Then I excitedly opened it to see that the screen of the watch was replaced with white and the brightness was full.

I:……

Me: But it’s a watch flashlight!

8. The egg tart npy bought today fell to the ground as soon as I ate one.

npy (the collapse of adults is often only in a moment): woo woo woo woo woo woo my egg tart.

Me (kiss and hug a set and draw a tombstone for the three egg tarts): Let’s go buy it tomorrow!

9. Because I slept for three hours in the afternoon, I am passionately coding until midnight, but I have to go to work tomorrow——

Ascension.
