So I became a witch

In the short moment of passing by, I finally saw the true face of this unknown thing.

It turned out to be a giant dragon that only appeared in Western mythology, and it cut off all the objects it passed through. There is a sense of cold beauty, and there is no trace of emotion in the yellow-black pupils.

"Danger!" Katerina's anxious voice came from inside the dragon knight.I raised my head, and the giant dragon that just passed by the side had turned its head around, and rushed towards me who hadn't had time to stand still at a faster speed.

Can't escape.My mind immediately came to a conclusion.Since you can't dodge it, then... let's go head-to-head!

The heat beam saber appeared in my hand in an instant, I squatted down slightly, aimed at the dragon's head in a vertical chopping posture, and slashed down fiercely.

This time, the beam sword did not cut off the opponent's body as I expected. I took a closer look and found that it was the black dragon's forehead, and a raised black thorn blocked the sword's strike.At the same time, the existence of this black thorn seems to have formed a certain position, protecting the whole body of the black dragon, so that it can fly at the speed that surpassed the biological common sense just now.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...!!" The heavy pressure from my hand almost made me throw away my weapon, but if I really did that, I'm afraid I will be taken by this giant dragon in the next moment Let's run through the dragon knight together, so I can only do my best to defend.

"Aoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!" the dragon roared, although it was blocked unexpectedly, its huge momentum still took me back at a speed close to the speed of sound.You must know that this is a giant robot with a height of 50 meters. Even if some light and strong new materials are used, it is definitely not so easy to push. What's more, I have opened all the pushers, but I still can't stop the dragon. One can imagine how terrifying this guy's strength is.

"It's a lie... This is an S-level disaster beast, the black dragon, why did it appear here..." Katerina said tremblingly, although she couldn't see her expression, but it must be very pale. , "Run! You can't be this guy's opponent! This is an existence that only the top group of dragon knights can defeat!"

"Even if you say that... now I can't get away..." I said through gritted teeth.The map displayed in the upper left corner of my sight flickers constantly, reminding me of my current location.In about ten seconds, I will be taken away from the city area by this guy, and all around the city is surrounded by the endless sea.At that time, the comparison between me and the other party will be infinitely magnified. After all, driving such a big thing does not look like it can move flexibly in the water, but the other party can fly at supersonic speed. It is impossible Is this guy's opponent.

What to do, what to do, what to do...Suddenly, a flash of light flashed in my mind.

After yesterday's battle, there are not many weapons left in the ammunition storage box that has not been replenished, but if my calculations are correct, these should be enough.

"All bombs are ready..."

"Wait a minute, these weapons alone can't do harm to this guy, they'll just be wasted..." Katerina shouted anxiously, but her voice was quickly overshadowed by the roaring explosion.

"Target... the ground."

Countless rockets hit the ground behind me, and in an instant, the whole land sank. Taking this opportunity, my body slipped and fell into the big pit like this. As for the giant dragon, it was Because he couldn't react immediately, he disappeared at the end of the horizon again with inertia.

"Huh...huh...this should be safe for the time being." Panting heavily, I tried to hide my body behind the boulder as much as possible.The giant dragon just now has disappeared from the map, but it will probably return soon, so we must figure out a way to deal with it before then.

"Is this the Calamity Beast... It really feels a bit difficult to deal with." I whispered.

"...This is more than difficult to deal with, isn't it? By the way, are you a little too calm? That is an S-rank beast! It is said that one can destroy the planet! Are you not afraid at all? Really?" Katerina was dumbfounded.

"Afraid...is it useful?" I said lightly.

The two were speechless.

I suddenly recalled how long ago, when I was a child, I was unable to distinguish the difference between reality and games, and I was asked such a question.I don't know what emotion is by nature, and I can grow up to where I am now, I can only say that it is thanks to the perseverance of my parents and sister.It is precisely because of their teachings that I truly understand how unreasonable I am to the world over there.

So, the unreasonable me came here, and came to this equally unreasonable world.

For this irrational world, the irrational self is the most reasonable existence.

"Hehe..." When I realized it, I realized that I had actually laughed out loud without knowing it.

Not fear, not excitement, but a sense of relief.Even if you are an irrational self, you can still find a reasonable destination. Isn't this something to be thankful for?

So, I laughed, not thinking about how critical the current situation was, and laughed out loud.

"Warning... a high-energy reaction in the sky..."

The relentless beep of the AI ​​system drowned out my laughter.In the sky beyond the pit, the pitch-black giant dragon flew to an unknown high altitude, and its yellow-black pupils indifferently and ruthlessly took in the entire city.The energy beyond the level of nuclear weapons is gathering in its body. It seems that it is tired of this game of cat and mouse, and is determined to burn this city together with us to ashes.

After a maximum of five seconds, we will completely disappear from this world.Even if the material of the Dragon Knight can survive such high temperatures, it is impossible for us, mere mortals, to survive.

Chapter 15 Opening

But why?Obviously facing such a dangerous situation, my silent emotions suddenly became active.For the first time in my life, I felt my heart beating.

Ah, that's right, this is exactly what I have been pursuing all along——

"Hehe." Facing the high-energy body that suddenly appeared in the sky, which was no different from the sun, I slowly raised my hand.

There is no problem, if it is me now, I can actually feel the thoughts of the dragon knight I am driving.Although I don't know why I feel human-like emotions from a machine, but I did receive what it wanted to convey to me.

The calmer my brain is, the faster my thinking speeds up.Hundreds of billions of data that exceed the thinking speed of the human brain flow in my sea of ​​consciousness. Time seems to be zoomed in countless times in an instant. The circulation of air, the change of temperature, and everything around me are fully grasped at this moment.

It's not enough, there must be a deeper, more complete, and more thorough——

“……融合度98%……99%……100%……200%……500%……1000%。已达成融合条件，第二形态解放。”

As the AI's indifferent prompt sounded, my body began to automatically change clothes.The carapace covering the surface of the dragon knight faded away, and countless parts completed hundreds of millions of reorganizations in an instant. At this moment, the dragon knight showed its original appearance.

"This is the true appearance of this dragon knight..." Austin murmured, completely overwhelmed by the ingenious beauty.

"It's just... like a... mobile fortress..." Katerina looked at the dragon knight who had completely transformed into a huge fortress displayed on the operation screen, and said blankly.

That's right, this is what this 50-meter-class giant dragon knight should really look like.At the beginning of its design, it used the aircraft carrier as a template to conceive the strongest fortress equipped with the most top weapons of all human beings so far.However, such a huge dragon knight is also extremely burdensome to the driver, because there are almost no qualified people who can use it in the planning process, so this whole set of multi-person auxiliary control system was designed.However, it is a pity that this cross-age system has not had time to experiment in the future, so it was buried deep in the soil because of the second catastrophe, and it was finally awakened by me until this moment.

Although I don't know why this dragon knight, which clearly needs dozens or even hundreds of qualified persons to control, was awakened by me alone, and I, who started vomiting blood after just moving for a while, after fully using it this time, What a miserable appearance it will become again, but it doesn't matter, the sequelae and everything will go to hell. At this moment, there is only one thought in my mind, and that is to completely defeat the giant dragon in the sky.

"Come on! Show me your true strength!"

light.

That is light.

The sky and the earth, the machine and the giant beast, the two beams of red and white, intertwined together in midair.

In an instant, it seemed that the whole world went dark.It was because the contact of those two rays of light was too dazzling, as if absorbing and merging all the rays of light.

"Limit..."

In a trance, it seemed that someone shouted the same words as me.

"...Break!"

Boundary, breakthrough.

The beam of light emitted from the Dragon Knight dyed the world pure white.

"This is the second team of the Third Branch of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. It has arrived at the scene and is currently transmitting the scene information to the headquarters." Ye Zhixuan sat on the aircraft, staring at the land that had long been reduced to ruins.Soon, she found the abnormality of this city.There are obviously debris everywhere, but there is an open space that is clean and out of place.In the middle of this open space, a black and white dragon knight is silently standing on the ground, like a huge sculpture.A pitch-black giant dragon lay motionless at his feet, with its head bowed as if expressing submission, but as long as one observed it, one would find that the giant dragon was clearly dead, and the almost invincible black armor was captured It was torn apart, and the body underneath was burned together, and there was almost no complete part of the whole body. Even she, who was used to seeing this scene, couldn't help but gasped, not only because of the terrifying The Calamity Beast is even more so against the unknown strongman who killed the giant beast.

"Hey, is this the legendary cross-age dragon knight jointly developed by the federal government and the three major families? It's really big enough, and I don't know which perverted guy can wake up this behemoth." and Compared to her shock, the man in the back seat showed a very interested expression.

"Be quiet, Kaiya." Ye Zhixuan said indifferently, while controlling the aircraft to fly towards the scene, he continued to speak to the other end of the walkie-talkie, "The surrounding energy field is chaotic, and the energy coefficient has broken through the warning line. Before, there was an unimaginable battle here, and the reason is not yet known, and I suspect..."

"Hey, what's the point of guessing, isn't it obvious? Nine times out of ten, someone got into that dragon knight, manipulated it to fight that S-class disaster beast, and won. .” The man named Kaiya said nonchalantly.

Ye Zhixuan was silent.Although unimaginable, this is indeed the most likely guess.A day ago, the dragon knight supervision department under the federal government suddenly received an activation signal from an unknown dragon knight.According to the preliminary investigation and verification, everyone was surprised to find that it turned out to be the code-named X78B26T model zero that should have disappeared a year ago.Because of the outbreak of the second cataclysm, in order to rebuild the living quarters of human beings, the federal government's arrangements have already been filled in this year, so although it is a precious cross-age dragon knight, it is also of low value because it is difficult to control. The series of problems were ranked last in importance, and they have not been able to allocate manpower to search and recover. Unexpectedly, just when they were about to forget about this matter, they suddenly appeared again.

Now that the coordinates have been found, the federal government naturally cannot continue to ignore it.

Now that the coordinates have been found, the federal government naturally cannot continue to ignore it.Anyway, since it is a dragon knight, even if it is a waste product, it has a certain degree of value, not to mention that what they are interested in is not the dragon knight itself, but the fact that there is a qualified person who can activate this dragon knight. thing.After all, this dragon knight originally considered the problem that qualified people could not control it due to its large size, so it designed a multi-person control system ingeniously.But after the actual experiment, it was discovered that this system is almost completely unusable, because the differences between people, even twins, cannot guarantee 100% synchronization of consciousness frequency, let alone mutual reinforcement, it will become The situation where each other's legs are weaker and weaker has happened, it has completely become tasteless, and the idea of ​​a giant dragon knight has since become a bubble.

No.16 Investigation

But now, this dragon knight, which has become the tear of the times, is suddenly activated.Whether it was a false report or a real one, this gave them a reason to investigate, so Ye Zhixuan, who was still enjoying his vacation, was thrown to this marginal planet.

"The landing is in progress...the landing is successful." The two people who came out of the aircraft put on another black uniform, which can protect them from possible radiation or pollution. "We are further investigating the scene."

The two cautiously wandered around the open space, and only walked in slowly after confirming the value of the central energy.The closer they got, the more they felt their insignificance, as if they had strayed into the set of Ultraman fighting the little monsters, looking up at the god-like giant.

"As expected of an S-class disaster beast, it should be at least a hundred meters long, right?" Kaiya looked up at the corpse of the giant dragon lying on the ground like a continuous small mountain range, and expressed emotion.

Ye Zhixuan ignored him, walked up to the dragon alone, took out a scanner-like thing from his pocket, and stuck it on its head.The machine quickly completed the scan, and after a beep, the red warning light turned green.

She glanced at the data displayed on the machine, and reported word by word: "After a preliminary investigation, it was found that the beast had been penetrated by a high-energy beam weapon, which was similar to the damage caused by the KA2478 Star Destroyer. This type of weapon generally only It is loaded on the KA series aircraft carrier, and has applied to the headquarters to investigate the movement of all KA series aircraft carriers within the same day."

Not long after, a man's indifferent voice came from the other end of the intercom: "...The inspection has been completed, and none of the KA series motherships has approached the target galaxy within the day. In addition, with the message from the headquarters, the target X78B26T dragon This kind of weapon happens to be equipped on the knight.”

"...Are you serious about loading the Dragon Knight with a Star Destroyer weapon?" Ye Zhixuan covered his forehead and sighed.

"The X78B26T Dragon Knight was originally designed to be used as a weapon fortress. It not only has the high mobility of the Dragon Knight, but also has two forms of high lethality as a fortress. Therefore, it is difficult to use and even harsh. It is difficult for the sequencer to drive. In order to reduce the difficulty, the "X system" specially developed was abandoned because of the problem of resonance. The large amount of money invested by the federal government and the three big chaebols has become a bubble. Now you Do you understand why the upper echelon attaches so much importance to this matter?"

Ye Zhixuan took a deep breath: "...According to the current survey situation, there is a probability of more than 90.00% that the option of system error can be ruled out. Then, there are only two possibilities left. The first is The 'X system' has been activated correctly, and the second is that a driver who is comparable to the 'sequencer' or even stronger has appeared. No matter which possibility, it has a considerable degree of value for the upper echelon."

"Exactly. Compared with the Dragon Knight itself, what the upper echelon values ​​more is the driver or drivers who activated it."

"...Is that why you specially sent me, who was on vacation, to investigate this matter? You also specifically asked to use the method of smuggling, in order not to leave a record, and to find the driver before the three big chaebols." Ye Zhixuan Said lightly, with a hint of anger in his voice.

"Don't be angry, after this mission is over, I will give you double the vacation in my own name." The man coughed lightly and said.

"I feel really tired, why don't you find a place to rest—"

"... paid."

"I'll continue the investigation." Ye Zhixuan hung up the conversation resolutely, as if afraid that the other party would repent, showing an extremely serious expression.

"Captain——" Kaiya in the distance suddenly shouted while waving his hands.Ye Zhixuan frowned, but still walked over.

"What's matter?"

"Captain, look here." Kaiya pointed to the other side of the corpse.

Ye Zhixuan froze for a moment, and walked around to the other side of the dragon.Near the abdomen, a light beam sword accurately penetrated through the heavy armor, pierced into the dragon's body, and pierced through its heart.

"Is this the real cause of death of this disaster beast?" Ye Zhixuan whispered to himself.

From the looks of it, after eating a full blow from the Star Destroyer Cannon, the Calamity Beast has not died yet. It is indeed an S-level legend, and its vitality is stronger than imagined.In this regard, the two sides started a life-and-death fight again, and finally the dragon knight's weapon penetrated the disaster beast and ended in victory.

Ye Zhixuan closed his eyes, and began to simulate this terrible and brilliant battle in his mind.In the existing files, there are only a handful of records of killing S-level disaster beasts, and there are very few who have the ability to kill S-level disaster beasts alone. They are all heroes who resound throughout the universe. It is really unbelievable that such a character appeared in this quiet and uninhabited fringe area.

"The external investigation is completed, and we are preparing to confirm the internal situation of the Dragon Knight." Ye Zhixuan took a deep breath. Compared with the external scene, the Dragon Knight with its own recording function can obviously tell her more information, "Apply for access permission... apply fail."

She was not surprised by this situation.In order to ensure the safety of the management of the Dragon Knight, after the first start, the Dragon Knight will often treat the person who started it as the person with the highest authority, and other people, even if they are also qualified, cannot use this machine. Dragon Rider.From this point of view, the possibility of it being artificially activated is much higher.

She turned on the intercom that was hung up again, and pointed the camera at the giant dragon knight in front of her: "I need support from the headquarters."

"Understood, you have been transferred to the management department...the transfer was successful, and the special key code has been sent."

Ye Zhixuan shrugged. Since it is a machine, there is naturally a back door.As one of the designers and producers of this dragon knight, the federal government obviously possesses such a "secret weapon".

After transmitting the special key code into the dragon knight, the built-in elevator finally descended slowly, and the two people who boarded the elevator were finally able to observe the inside of the giant dragon knight at close range for the first time. .

"So that's the case, did the space folding technology be used? The interior space looks bigger than expected, and it should be able to accommodate at least a hundred people at the same time." Ye Zhixuan said thoughtfully.Compared to her calmness, Kaiya showed a state of abnormal interest, constantly looking around.

Chapter No.17 The Savior

The two quickly took the elevator to the cockpit on the dragon knight's chest. There was no one in the wide space, and the machine on the console was also in a dormant state. Even the arrival of the two did not make it respond.

"There are traces of three people's activities." Kaiya said suddenly.

Ye Zhixuan nodded and did not ask the reason, but continued to ask naturally: "Are they all qualified?"

"No, two ordinary people, one qualified person, and..." Kaiya suddenly hesitated, as if doubting her guess.

"what happened?"

"...very young," Kaia whispered.

"Young?" Ye Zhixuan frowned, "Does that mean he just became an adult?"

"No, probably only 11 or 12 years old."

"...Is it possible that some old guy with a perverted interest deliberately used cloning technology to create a young body for himself?"

"It's unlikely. Even though the cloning technology and consciousness transfer technology have matured day by day, if such an operation is really performed, it will still damage the brain nerves to a greater or lesser extent, and indirectly affect the 'adaptability'. In the existing According to the records, none of the qualified persons who accepted the cloning consciousness due to serious injuries have recovered their identity as qualified persons."

"As long as you undergo a similar operation, it's impossible to become a qualified person again. No wonder those guys would rather die than change their bodies..." Ye Zhixuan nodded thoughtfully, "In other words, a A qualified person who is less than 12 or 13 years old, driving a dragon knight that even a sequencer can hardly control, defeated an S-class disaster beast by himself? Do you believe this?"

"I don't believe it." Kaiya said bluntly, "However, it's not impossible."

"...you mean, 'savior'?"

"The girls with 'red pupils' who appear every ten years burn themselves as lights and lead people through the 100 years of darkness." Kaia said softly, as if she was singing an ancient prayer.

"The legend of the savior? But that inheritance should have been buried in history after the end of the first cataclysm 20 years ago." Ye Zhixuan said.

"Since there is the first time, it is normal to have the second time, right?" Kaiya said naturally.

Ye Zhixuan was silent. He thought it was just an ordinary mission, but the more he investigated, the more he discovered the seriousness of the matter.To be honest, if she could go back to the day before, she would definitely choose to turn off all communication devices and enjoy her long-lost vacation with peace of mind.

But now, if those old guys at the top know that the girl who may be the savior appears again, they will definitely go crazy and ask her to bring her back for protection.This kind of task, which is troublesome just thinking about it, is the most insensitive task for her.Although it may be related to the survival of human beings, let those big people worry about that kind of thing. Little people should have the awareness of small people, and never stand out when they should not be in the top.

"Anyway, let's investigate the internal news records of Dragon Knight first." Ye Zhixuan broke the silence.She casually sat in the main driver's seat, and used the special key sent from the headquarters to open the internal system interface of Dragon Knight, "Since someone has logged in, there must be a corresponding message left, let me find it Look... ah, there it is."

She randomly opened a folder, but to her surprise, the internal records turned out to be empty.

"The login information is empty? No, was it deleted by someone?" Ye Zhixuan frowned, and she opened a few more files unwillingly, but the contents inside were all empty, like a system that had just left the factory and had not been tested.

"It seems that some people don't want us to find out about that little qualified person." Kaia shrugged and said.

"...Could it be someone from the three big chaebols?" Ye Zhixuan asked.

"It's unlikely. If it's from the three big chaebols, it's impossible to send only two people to protect such a talented person." Kaiya vetoed.
