[Comprehensive] King's Best Friend

very quiet.

The whole world seemed to be turned into barren ruins, with wreckage of buildings everywhere, gray dust visible to the naked eye floating in the air, completely devoid of any human spirit.

"Hey!"

Fujimaru Tachika struggled to turn over a piece of gravel, and then lay down on the gap between the stones. While searching carefully, he called loudly: "Is there anyone down here?... Can you hear me, is there anyone alive?"

Mayne stood aside—in fact, in his wide-area perception, within a range of 1000 meters from their current location, there was no longer any breath of life other than Tachika Fujimaru.

However, Mayne looked at the girl who turned over a pile of rocks not far away and shouted persistently, and finally said nothing - after all, "Who do you want to save?", in his opinion, is a rare kind of purity. and precious.

About half an hour later, the heroic spirit who had been silent all this time seemed to have noticed something suddenly, and suddenly looked up at the sky: "Someone is coming."

"Huh?...Could it be a survivor?!"

When Fujimaru Tachika heard the words, she immediately straightened up in surprise, with a comic embarrassment matching her dirty face.

Mayne glanced sideways at the girl. Although he might hit her, he still didn't hide it: "I don't think so. The living body is moving in the air. There is a great possibility that it is a rescue force sent by the outside world."

"This, so..." Fujimaru Tatsuka sighed in disappointment.

"According to this speed, they should arrive here soon. In order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, I will temporarily resonate."

After finishing speaking, Mayne nodded towards Fujimaru Tachika, and in the next moment, he suddenly turned into countless golden light spots, and disappeared in front of Fujimaru Tachika in an instant.

However, probably because of the contract signed, Fujimaru Tatsuka could vaguely perceive the existence of the heroic spirit even if he couldn't see the other party.

"Maine?" she called out tentatively.

Then, about a few steps away, came a familiar response: "En."

Although the voice of the heroic spirit was as calm and indifferent as ever, Fujimaru Tachika was completely at ease - she was someone who was protected by a big boss!

"Buzzing—"

There was the sound of propellers spinning rapidly in the air.

Fujimaru Tachika looked up and saw the helicopter slowly approaching at a glance——

The rescue force is finally here!

……

The so-called temporary shelter is in an open space not far from where the incident occurred.

It is a place specially used to receive external rescue supplies, integrate rescue forces, convene medical forces, and place survivors.

Because it was built in a hurry in a short period of time, most of them were simple small tents one after another, and the number of people that could be accommodated was very limited.

However, although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs.Whether it is accommodation or food, everything inside is not missing, and overall it is quite good.

"You mean, the kid—wasn't hurt?"

Takashi Mitsuchi, who was the special doctor invited by the refuge, tilted his head slightly, and the lens on the bridge of his nose reflected a bright white light.

"En...en. Although I also find it incredible, that child is indeed not injured."

The woman in a nurse's uniform hesitated for a moment, and added: "Of course, because this is just a temporary shelter and the medical equipment is not complete, it is not ruled out that there may be internal damage that could not be detected."

"Oh, I don't think the child's mental state looks like he has any internal injuries." Mitsuchi Takashi narrowed his eyes meaningfully.

"..." The nurse looked at the man in front of her and carefully kept silent.

Mitsuchi Takashi didn't care, and asked instead, "Where did the rescue team find her?"

"This, according to reports, appears to be 500 meters from the center of the crater."

"Oh? Such a short distance, but miraculously safe and sound..."

Mitsuchi Takashi seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly opened his arms and laughed loudly: "He is simply the chosen one, the perfect experimental subject!"

"The director means...to bring her back to the research institute?"

The nurse trembled and said tremblingly: "But, the King of Gold asked us to participate in the rescue this time. If we take other actions privately, will it be..."

"What do you know! Judging from the current situation - that child either awakened an extremely powerful ability at a critical moment, or... has become the new king!"

As he said that, Mizuki Takashi's eyes seemed to be ignited with a fire, which was terribly hot: "Exploring the mysteries of supernatural beings and kings, isn't this the original intention of our research institute. Now that we have such a good How could the prey be left alone! ——As for the King of Gold..."

Thinking of the fact that the research institute is under the jurisdiction of the King of Gold, although Takashi Mitsuchi has indeed done a lot of things against humanity in private, he still knows to hide it strictly. As for the public——

"You just said that the child was seriously injured and needed to be transferred to our 'hospital' for further treatment."

"……I understand."

……

On the other side, Fujimaru Tachika, who was transferred to the temporary shelter, was completely ignorant of the fact that he was secretly followed by someone not long after he was rescued.

At the moment, she is transforming into a heroic spirit who follows her to Lingzi, and she is conducting science popularization in various aspects of the world——

"The thing that brought us here is called an airplane. It is a means of transportation that can fly in the air... Ah, of course, besides being a means of transportation, it actually has many other functions... No, no, no. Every family has them, and the popularity of airplanes hasn't reached that level yet..."

In fact, theoretically speaking, after a heroic spirit descends into the present world, it will be simultaneously endowed with all kinds of knowledge in the present world, but knowing it is different from seeing it with one's own eyes, so Mayne is still very interested in these things.

"Da da da--"

Faint footsteps came from outside, and Mayne turned slightly sideways to the source of the sound: "Someone is coming."

Fujimaru Tachika immediately shut her mouth when she heard the words, after all, it would definitely be strange if someone saw her talking into the air.

After a while, someone opened the curtain and walked in from the outside.

"Sister nurse?"

Fujimaru Lixiang recognized at a glance that the person who came was the nurse who had just finished her examination a few minutes ago.

But I don't know why, the nurse who had a sweet smile before, doesn't seem to be very pretty now.

"Did something happen?" Fujimaru Tachika keenly sensed something was wrong.

"No, nothing. I'm just, a little bit tired."

The nurse moved her stiff mouth, and then said: "By the way, your name is Lixiang, right... I'm here to inform you that you will probably be transferred to the hospital soon."

"Hospital? Why, wasn't I not found injured?"

"It's because the temporary equipment here can't be found out, so in order to avoid mistakes, it is necessary to go to a more professional place."

The nurse didn't seem to want to continue talking too much. After explaining, she turned and left: "You should prepare a little bit, and you should be leaving soon."

When the nurse's figure was completely out of sight, Mayne said lightly, "What do you think?"

"Well...it's strange—whether it's the attitude or the reason."

Fujimaru Tachika may not be smart, but she's not stupid either.

After this kind of disaster, medical resources should be the most scarce. No matter how you think about it, it is impossible to be true to one person with great fanfare.Not to mention, she's obviously acting so...healthy...?

……and many more!

Mayne looked at the girl who seemed to have realized something, and a faint smile appeared in his eyes: "Have you finally thought about it?"

"You mean, they suspect me..."

Fujimaru Tatsuka didn't seem to know what to say, stunned and hesitant.

"It's not clear which aspect it is, but in that case, you who survived unscathed are indeed very suspicious."

Mayne can understand Fujimaru Tachika's intentional display of spirit and vitality in order to reassure the people who came to the rescue. However, human beings are very complicated creatures. It's hard to continue being kind.

——Why is everyone dead, only you have nothing to do?

There are probably many people who think this way.

"Wow, I was negligent!"

Fujimaru Tachika fell on the floor, pulling her hair in distress: "Can I not go to that hospital, I always feel that something bad will happen."

"Unfortunately, the other party should not intend to give you the right to refuse."

Mayne honestly poured cold water on his master, then changed his words and said, "However, if you really don't want to, I can..."

"Wait, I think it's better to observe first before talking."

Fujimaru Tachika immediately interrupted the heroic spirit—although Mayne's tone was normal, but at that moment just now, the strange and familiar fluctuation...was it indeed intended to summon the Sphinx? !

——Come on, boss!You are so willful, my fragile little heart can't bear it!

After refraining from Mayne's idea of ​​opening up when he disagreed, Fujimaru Tateka pondered for a long time, and decided to try to say "no" bravely.

After all, this is a refuge built by the government, and there are many soldiers stationed inside. Would the other party dare to take her away by force?

—… How dare you.

The moment Fujimaru Tatsuka saw the nurse again, she didn't know if the other party saw her resistance, or it was planned.

In short, before Fujimaru Tachika could speak, the nurse pulled out a long and slender anesthetic needle from her cuff, and poked it neatly at the girl.

Fujimaru Tachika felt a tingling pain, and was overwhelmed by a wave of drowsiness the next moment.

She seemed to be floating on the surface of a stormy sea. After struggling a few times, her consciousness sank powerlessly into the deep seabed, and she couldn't see any light.

Fujimaru Tachika: ...Day!

Mayne: At first I thought that such a fragile "weapon" should have no attack power, but I didn't expect... Humans are really amazing creatures (tea).

The nurse caught the girl's fallen body, and then motioned for the accomplice guarding the door to come in.

Afterwards, several people moved the girl into the arranged car and drove slowly towards the "Nachigamado Chemotherapy Research Center".

And during the whole process, no one noticed—there was an imperceptible golden light spot floating around leisurely, condescending and watching indifferently.

……

Fujimaru Tachika, who fell into a coma, had a dream.

This dream is very strange, because the protagonist of the dream is not herself, but Mayne.

In the dream, Fujimaru Tachika was like a bystander, seeing a story about Mayne from the perspective of God—no, in this dream, Mayne seemed to be called Moses, so to be precise, this should be a story about Moses' story.

At the beginning of the dream, Fujimaru Tachika felt like he had become a gust of wind, floating high in the sky at a height of [-] meters, supported by thousands of other winds, wandering freely among the clouds.

Then, she manipulated her colorless and invisible body to fall, so she saw the earth under the sky——

Countless pyramids were pulled up from the ground and stood tall.The blazing and dazzling sun approached infinitely, making the bricks and tiles glow like gold, exuding a color like gold.

Standing in front of the tower is the Sphinx. This giant beast on the desert is silent, and with just one look, it can see the long river of time and reach the end of the gods.

And after that, there are oasis, palaces, storms, vastness... All the desolation and majesty here seem to be here.

Then, farther away from here, she saw - Mayne.

The appearance of the silver-haired young man has hardly changed from what she remembered. If I had to say something, it would be that the familiar gold ornaments on the young man were gone.Now he is wearing nothing but a simple white robe.

Fujimaru Tachika tried to land next to Mayne, and after finding that he couldn't touch him, tried to call Mayne's name a few more times - as expected, the other party could neither see nor hear him.

Seeing this, Fujimaru Tatsuka was not discouraged - after all, it was a dream, and it was not surprising what happened.

Thinking of this, Fujimaru Tachika turned his eyes and set his gaze on behind Mayne—yes, Mayne did not appear here alone, just behind him, followed by... Ten thousand or a few millions?Well, in short, there are many, many people.

"Grrrrrrr-"

There was the sound of metal rubbing against each other.

Fujimaru Lixiang noticed that many of the group of people were wearing handcuffs and anklets, their clothes were ragged, and their exposed skin was also dirty. ?"

What is Mayne doing?Use these slaves? ... No, that's not the case.

Because, the eyes of these people looking at the silver-haired young man walking in the front are definitely not fear or hatred, but just like believers meeting the gods and drowning people grabbing driftwood-fanaticism, piety, and moths. Fire, against all odds.

From this point of view, the scene in front of him is almost like "taking this group of people to escape".

Feeling vaguely that he had grasped the truth, Fujimaru Tachika couldn't help but flew in front of Mayne, and even though the other party couldn't see him, he still shouted for him with great enthusiasm: "Come on, Mayne!!!"

I don't know if it is Fujimaru Tatsuka's illusion, but I always feel that the young man just glanced this way?

However, when she looked over carefully again, the young man was still calm and indifferent, staring at the road ahead, as if he was unshakable.

"Probably misunderstood..."

Fujimaru Tachika didn't pay much attention, and continued to lead the way in front of the young man wholeheartedly.

However, not long after, the entire earth suddenly shook violently.A loud "rumbling" sound gradually came, as if something was approaching quickly.

"What, what's the matter? What happened?!"

The frightened people gradually became confused. They hurriedly hugged their bags tightly, and then, as if they were looking for a backbone, they turned their attention to the young man at the front——

"Lord Moses..."

"Please save us!"

"Don't leave us, please!"

Even if they haven't seen it yet, the people present seem to have a premonition that what is gradually approaching them... can't be wrong, it must be!

Fujimaru Tachika immediately flew to the sky, and with a wider field of vision, looked at the rear of the large army——

The billowing smoke and dust were stirred up, like a huge storm blowing up on the ground, sweeping towards this side with great momentum.

That power is so frightening and terrifying, like a huge wave, it will swallow up all of this place.

And what is hidden behind the dust is——

"army?"

Fujimaru Tachika was sure that she read it correctly: "Could it be that what Mayne is doing now is not allowed by those in power in this country?"

Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Fujimaru Tachika immediately looked at Mayne anxiously.

However, at this moment, the silver-haired young man just watched the approaching army calmly and silently, as if waiting for someone.

Not long after, with a roar that resounded through the sky, a huge figure broke through the smoke and dust, and took the lead in throwing off all the troops behind.Then, at a speed that ordinary humans couldn't react at all, they stopped in front of the silver-haired youth.

"...Sphinx!"

Fujimaru Tachika widened her eyes in astonishment, looking at the legendary creature in front of her that she had only seen not long ago.Not sure if it was the same one she had seen, but it was definitely a sphinx.

This sphinx did not show its original huge posture that covered the sky, but shrunk to the size of an ordinary war horse.

But even so, when it folded its wings and landed with the storm and red flames, the crowd behind Mayne still screamed and fled several meters away.

"Look, my friend, these are the people you want to protect—how weak and incompetent. If that's the case, why do you still focus on them!"

The haughty words that seemed to look down on everything equally sounded.

Mayne raised his head slowly, no, or rather, he could guess it without raising his head—who can make the Burnt Sand Sphinx, which is equal to the dragon species, willingly put on shackles, put on armor, and bow down, Compete with a good horse and a good horse.

— there will be no one else.

Mayne looked at the familiar pair of golden eyes that seemed to contain the brilliance of the sun, but were more dazzling than the sun, and said: "You are finally here—"

"Ozman."

The man sitting high on the sphinx - black hair and golden eyes, bronze skin, naked upper body unruly and wild, with a hot aura like the sun, it is enough to sweep the whole five senses domineeringly in an instant, it is above everything in the world brilliance above.

Fujimaru Tachika on the side looked at him, and suddenly understood——

This man is Ozymandias.

—Only he could be Ozymandias.
