The small CD was handed over by the subordinate with both hands. The proud young man took a look at it and weighed it in his hand.
"Is this the gift from George?"
The subordinate who handed over the CD replied respectfully,
"Yes! The data in the CD has been preliminarily verified. It is indeed an OS program suitable for a natural pilot. "
"Really? It seems that our George's friend is very resourceful, isn't he? "
The young man moved his gaze and looked at the surveillance screen that seemed to be motionless.
In fact, he knew that in this seemingly calm scene, the man who should have stayed in the narrow single room had disappeared.
And the CD in his hand was also sent to him at that time.
"Hmph! Forget it. Although I'm a little unhappy, at least he still sent timely help. It can be considered as contributing his own strength to the great cause of the natural pilot! After all, we have as many pilots here as we want. "
With a few sneers, the young man threw the CD back to his subordinate.
"Take it! Let those people study it. If it's feasible, accelerate the progress of the plan! "
"Yes!"
Just as the subordinate was about to leave with the CD, the young man suddenly called out to him.
"Wait! I remember that the airframe seems to have been piloted by two people, isn't it? "
"Yes. One of them … "
The subordinate paused for a moment, glanced at the unchanged screen, and immediately went around it.
"The second one is a student of Aubrey, well, the first generation regulator. According to the people on the Archangel, the original OS program that attacked Gao Da was written by him. "
"Oh? There's such a thing? Interesting! Take him away too! If anyone asks, say that I, Lars Yaz, said it. "
"Yes! Your Excellency Lars Yaz. "
Two people, different fates, opened up.
Under the instructions of the tower, passenger planes from all over the world landed on the runway of the International Airport with the roar of engines. Every time at this time, there would always be a large number of passengers walking down from the passenger planes, following the guidance all the way to the passenger passage, preparing to go to the distant city.
Among these passengers, a young man and a young woman with somewhat similar faces were also among them.
"We're here. Audrey. "
Ray Mingkai carried a small amount of luggage and looked around at the crowd, frowning slightly from time to time.
In the endless stream of people, there seemed to be some with ill intentions.
Moreover, there seemed to be a lot of them.
"Yes. Let's go! "
Lux also noticed Ray Mingkai's strange behavior, so she moved closer to Ray Mingkai.
"The big guy on the left is staring at us."
In order to board the plane smoothly, White Cat Zero did not go through the formalities like other cats and dogs. Instead, it simply returned to its previous state where no one could see it and followed Ray Mingkai.
"I know. Keep an eye on the surroundings! "
Ray Mingkai exchanged a few words with the White Cat, State Zero, and escorted Lacus out of the airport. After finding a taxi, they headed towards the city in the distance.
The reason he came here was not because of George.
In fact, when George first arranged for Ray Mingkai and Lacus to leave North America, this city did not appear.
The reason why Ray Mingkai and the rest came here was because of Lacus's sudden suggestion.
It seemed that there was someone in this city that Lacus wanted to see.
As for who it was, Lacus did not confess until the two of them arrived at the hotel they had booked to rest.
It was only when night fell quietly that Lacus pulled Ray Mingkai out of the hotel and came to a restaurant in the corner of the street.
"Where is this?"
"Looking for someone."
Lacus's answer was very straightforward.
Ray Mingkai glanced at the neon sign with the words "Herman Brothers" above his head and went forward to push the door open.
In the end, the situation inside surprised Ray Mingkai.
It was different from the bustling outside. Although there were quite a number of people sitting at their own tables, chatting or eating, there was a kind of tacit silence that maintained a tacit understanding.
Lacus looked at the situation inside behind Ray Mingkai and searched carefully. As expected, she found the person she was looking for.
A woman sitting in the corner and eating by herself, but there was a slight difference in the quiet atmosphere.
"Kai, over there."
Lacus pulled Ray Mingkai into the restaurant and walked through the crowd under the watchful eyes of the waiter. They came to the corner where the woman was sitting.
"Good evening. Miss Jormengarde. "
Lacus seemed to be very nervous when she said this.
Other than trying to maintain a calm face, only her little hand that was pulling Ray Mingkai harder revealed the nervousness in her heart.
Obviously, the way Jormengarde addressed her made the woman pause for a moment, but she quickly put down the knife and fork in her hand and looked up at Lacus and Ray Mingkai.
Especially the moment she saw Ray Mingkai's face, Ray Mingkai noticed that the woman's breathing became a little erratic.
"Good evening."
The woman's reaction was only to nod silently, then she lowered her head and ignored Lacus and Ray Mingkai.
Then, Lacus stretched out her finger and drew a circle on the table beside the woman's hand.
The appearance of the circle made the woman raise her head again and stare at Lacus's face, the face that was hidden by the holographic image stimulated by the pendant.
"Please follow me! Honorable guest. "
This time, the woman did not evade. Instead, she stood up and walked into the restaurant without looking back.
Ray Mingkai cast a questioning look at Lacus, but Lacus just shook her head slightly, indicating that she would tell Ray Mingkai the truth later. Then, she pulled Ray Mingkai and followed the woman.
On the way to the innermost part of the restaurant, they saw all kinds of waiters along the way, but what they had in common was that after seeing the woman Lacus called Jormengarde, they immediately lowered their heads and stopped looking around. It was not until the woman, Lacus, and Ray Mingkai walked past them that they hurriedly left the place.
The heavy iron door slowly opened and then slowly closed.
The woman called Jormengarde stood between the only desk and sofa in the entire room, looking at Lacus and Ray Mingkai.
"Please prove your identities."
Lacus took a deep breath and exchanged glances with Lei Mingkai. With Lei Mingkai's assurance, she said softly, "Don't worry.
"In the name of Visser, be liberated! ALDNOAH。”
As the light faded, the black-haired girl's image quietly disappeared, revealing a face that should not exist here.
The moment the pink long hair fluttered, the woman's eyes suddenly widened. She subconsciously took a step back and pressed a button on the desk.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! "
Thick metal plates kept smashing down, surrounding the room so tightly that not even a drop of water could trickle through, not allowing anything inside or any sound to spread to the outside.
The pink long hair gently stretched out, and a pure and beautiful face appeared in front of her without any concealment. The pair of eyes that shone with a pure radiance allowed the woman to confirm the identity of the girl in front of her.
"This … this world is crazy."
The woman took a few steps back, leaned against the desk, and supported her body with her hands.
"So, do you want us to take back everything for you? Miss Lacus Klein! "
"Don't you suspect my identity?"
Lacus looked at the woman who did not seem to suspect her identity.
"Suspect? Stop joking! Miss Lacus. The name of Jormengarde, the ring around the Atrium. These things will only appear once in Klein's memory. Also, there's a possibility that you won't need them until you die. "
"It's my father."
As if sensing Ray Mingkai's doubts, Lacus finally revealed the secret of this trip.
"On my sixth birthday, my father gave me a new set of clothes and told me a story about Jormengarde. Although at that time, I only thought of it as a myth, after going to school, I realized that the traditional story of Jormengarde is very different from the Jormengarde that my father told me. "
"So, you want to come here and try your luck?"
Ray Mingkai could not help but be surprised by Lacus' courage. In a situation where she did not know anything, she relied on her vague childhood memories to find her way here.
"Yes. This is an opportunity. An opportunity for me to find the truth. "
The woman also saw the conversation between Lacus and Ray Mingkai.
"I guess this gentleman must be the legendary last survivor of Yunus 7, Mr. Ray Mingkai? What a surprise. I didn't expect that Mr. Ray Mingkai, who was rumored to have died together with the enemy, would actually appear here. And you're with the real Lacus Klein. "
Jormengarde smiled and did not expose the relationship between the two.
"Let's cut to the chase. Jormengarde. I want to see someone. "
"Someone?"
Jormengarde raised her eyebrows, seemingly surprised.
"Miss Lacus, you didn't immediately go to Scandinavia to seek help from the Sas family, but instead came to me to look for someone?"
"Yes. Please do help me. "
Lacus's solemn request made Jormengarde shrug.
"Alright! Just tell me the person's name! As a matter of fact, the moment you revealed your identity, the Ring of Midgard also belonged to you. Lady Lacus Klein. "
"The developer of D.S.S.D, Selene Markgrave."
Despite witnessing the entire process, Ray Mingkai still felt a little surreal, so surreal that even after he left the Herman Brothers restaurant, returned to the hotel, and stood on the balcony, surrounded by the night breeze, he still could not come back to his senses.
As for what really happened before his eyes, he, who had a certain understanding of this world, realized that for many Gao Da fans, the Klein family, who should have been transparent, was so unpredictable at the moment.
The Ring of Midgard.
It originated from the description of Jormengarde in Norse mythology.
The giant serpent was huge and slender, enough to encircle the entire mortal world, hence it was called the "Serpent of the Mortal World" or the "Serpent of Midgard".
Presumably, the name of the Ring of Midgard came from this.
"Are you surprised? Kai. "
Lacus walked out of the room and came to Ray Mingkai's side.
Lacus's skirt fluttered in the night breeze, making a slight sound. Ray Mingkai retracted his gaze from the brightly lit city in the distance and landed on Lacus, who had turned back into a black-haired girl.
"A little. I didn't expect Klein to have such an organization behind him. "
"Actually, I feel the same."
Lacus looked up to meet Lei Mingkai's eyes and frankly expressed her thoughts.
"In fact, I didn't have much fantasy about the Ring of Midgard from the beginning. I just wanted to prove the truth of my father, who told me the story of Jormengarde with a serious face when I was six years old. "
"And the result was as you wished?"
"Yes. But now, I'm a little confused. "
Lacus's face was calm, but there was a trace of confusion in the depths of her eyes.
"The complexity of this world is beyond my imagination. This war might not be as simple as the conflict between the Naturals and the Adjusted. "
"The world is never something that can be easily understood. Audrey, it's good that you can understand this. "
"Mhmm."
Lacus nodded silently.
The moon set and the sun rose. It was another bright and sunny day.
When the sun that wantonly scattered its light on the earth rose into the sky, a car drove out from the crowded Central Street and slowly stopped in a small road with few cars.
"Is this the place?"
The car door opened, and a mature woman in a white coat walked out of the car. She looked at the restaurant named Herman Brothers and said quietly.
"Yes. This is the place. I didn't expect the director to let you come to this restaurant! "
The driver of the car was a middle-aged man with a calm demeanor. He seemed to be very familiar with the restaurant in front of him.
"You're here? Edmund. "
The woman seemed to be surprised that a fellow traveler would be familiar with this place.
"You can say that! I've been here a few times when I held a welcoming ceremony for my subordinates. Oh, right. The rum here is pretty good! "
After parking the car, the man named Edmund walked to the woman's side and nodded.
"Let's go! Let's see what kind of job the director found for you, Selene. "
What Selene didn't expect was that the person sitting in the restaurant and asking to see her was one of the big investors who sponsored D.S.S.D.
"Nice to meet you! Ms. Selene Markgrave. I'm Audrey Ogg Sas from Scandinavia. "
The black-haired girl elegantly and calmly introduced herself.
"Sas? The eldest daughter of the Sas family? "
All the research carried out by D.S.S.D was cutting-edge projects that required huge investments and a lot of money. In order to complete cutting-edge research projects in the human world, it was necessary to attract investment from all over the world.
Among these financial backers, the Sas family from Scandinavia was ranked in the top three in terms of funding.
"No, it's just a name that's not worth mentioning. Ms. Selene. This is why I want to see you. I hope you can help me. "
Lacus didn't feel complacent about Selene and Edmund's exclamation. Instead, she pushed an envelope with information in front of Selene.
