(F * ck, diarrhea again. Yesterday, it was the same again. Now that I think about it, I don't think Yi Zui ate anything. It wasn't until a glass of milk was placed in front of me that I realized that Yi Zui hasn't drunk fresh milk from the dairy factory for a long time. Could it be because of this …)
When Richard heard Xiao Ran say that Tessa was a Whisperer, his first reaction was that there was a traitor in the Mithril. After all, Tessa's identity as a Whisperer was only known to a very small number of higher-ups in the Mithril. Most people didn't even know what a Whisperer was. Otherwise, how could a person who had never really interacted with the Mithril know that Tessa was a Whisperer?
However, in the next moment, he began to doubt his own thoughts. Instead, he glanced at Xiao Ran and Ai 'er Elfe and thought to himself, "I've long heard that their intelligence gathering abilities are very impressive. Did they gather information on their own? Or do they have a special way of identifying Whisperers? "
Richard was puzzled, but he didn't say anything. Tessa, on the other hand, couldn't be as calm as Richard. She was surprised and asked reflexively, "How did you know?"
Xiao Ran laughed. "It's simple, isn't it? If the person who designed the Dannu's Child is not a Whisperer, then what is he? Please don't underestimate our ability to gather information. With El Erf's technology, as long as it's not physically blocked, he has the possibility of hacking into any network. So what you think you are keeping secret may not necessarily be the case in our eyes. At the same time, we also have our own way of identifying Whisperers."
Perhaps the Mithril also had their own way of identifying Whisperers, but in some aspects, they didn't necessarily know more than Xiao Ran. For example, Whisperers were actually all the newborns in this world from the beginning of Chidori's birth to three minutes after. This number was actually very high.
However, because the number of newborns in many places could not be counted, and the awakening of a Whisperer required certain conditions, the number of Whisperers who truly displayed their abilities and were targeted was actually very small. At the same time, people mistakenly thought that the number of Whisperers was extremely small.
But regardless of whether Mithril was aware of this or not, Xiao Ran didn't intend to continue wasting his breath in this regard, lest Mithril's people poke their noses into other participants' business. After all, the main mission had another condition that didn't limit the use of one's own mecha. The appearance of such an abnormal condition meant that it was best not to use those unique mecha during the protection process. Xiao Ran believed that for the sake of mission completion, many people would abide by this rule and not poke their noses into other people's business. They only needed to stay by the target's side for three months to achieve a high completion rate, so most participants wouldn't go looking for trouble.
But in case Mithril knew the true number of Whisperers and the method to identify them, Xiao Ran was worried that Mithril would provoke other participants and cause a battle between participants to break out in advance.
But his words once again gave Richard and Tessa a deeper understanding of El Erf's intelligence network. Tessa asked curiously, "Then how did you know that Chidori is a Whisperer?"
"It's nothing. We just noticed that Chidori has the potential to become a Whisperer. Coupled with your relationship with the KGB, we decided to protect her. And during the protection process, we can also confirm her identity as a Whisperer," Xiao Ran chuckled and answered Tessa's question.
But Xiao Ran wouldn't tell Tessa that he knew that Chidori was a Whisperer because he had watched the anime about this world and understood the development of the plot.
Tessa looked at Xiao Ran, twirled her hair, and muttered to herself, "Is it really because of boredom? A team of three, with advanced technology that isn't inferior to a Whisperer's, spontaneously protecting a Whisperer. No matter how I look at it, it's strange."
Tessa's muttering naturally couldn't escape Xiao Ran and El Erf's ears. And Xiao Ran only smiled. "In short, as I said before, our goal is to protect the Whisperers and prevent them from being used by certain forces. That's all. It's up to you whether to believe it or not."
"I understand." Tessa nodded with a serious face. She glanced at El Erf, a young man who seemed to be about the same age as her, and said, "Judging from your current actions, it is indeed in line with what you said. You also have the same goal as us. But although you are in a cooperative relationship with us, if you do things that are completely opposite to us and endanger the peace of this world, then we may also become enemies."
"I don't think that will happen. Our goals don't conflict with each other. Protecting the Whisperers from being used by evil forces is completely the same. As for protecting world peace, we also agree on that."
"Then that's the best." With that said, Tessa stood up from the sofa. "Please have a good rest. Once the Airframe is ready, I will send someone to inform you."
Xiao Ran nodded gently. "Okay."
Tessa quickly bid farewell to Vice-captain Richard and left. After the door of the lounge was closed, Tessa walked in front and asked with a puzzled expression. "Richard, do you think they are trustworthy?"
Richard thought for a moment and said, "At least so far, they haven't made any moves against us. But whether or not they are in a cooperative relationship, we must maintain our vigilance against them. Although the KGB research institute has been destroyed by us, this operation and this man who calls himself Alex must make us more vigilant. I suggest that we continue to keep Sergeant Major Mao, Sergeant Major Kirrlutz, and Sergeant Major Sosuke by Chidori's side to protect her and at the same time take on the role of surveillance."
"Okay." Tessa nodded and asked again, "But Richard, don't you think it's strange? How can a team with only three people have the confidence to protect all the Whisperers they found? Also, the technology in the hands of Mr. Luo at headquarters doesn't seem like something that can be developed by one or two people. I think the other party might not be the only three people who came forward."
Richard thought for a moment and said, "According to the information from headquarters, the young man called El Erf is very likely to be a Whisperer. It's hard to confirm whether the other party's pilot got the technology from El Erf, but it's undeniable that Mr. Luo at headquarters is indeed a very good technical master. It might be a new technology that the two of them developed together."
Tessa twirled her long whip in her hand and said, "Let's do it this way. Let the intelligence department investigate them further. There were no clues before, but now that they have appeared in front of us, let them work harder to investigate all the information about Alex, El Erf, and Luo. Find out if there are any other forces or organizations behind them. The most important thing is to find out their true purpose."
"Yes."
The two people who left were stopped before they reached the command room of the ship. The person who stopped them was the battle commander, Andrew. At this time, Andrew was holding a document in his hand and his expression was a little heavy. "Captain."
"What's the matter?" Tessa looked at Andrew strangely. Andrew handed the document in his hand to her. Tessa still had that puzzled expression on her face. When she saw what was on the document, Tessa opened her small mouth in surprise and said in disbelief, "How is this possible? The spoils of war have the lambda-driver, which is still in the testing stage."
"Yes." Andrew nodded with a serious expression. Richard also frowned and took the document from Tessa's hand. He carefully read the contents of the document.
The lambda-driver was currently one of Mithril's biggest secrets. They had also built a prototype crossbowman with such a system, and it hadn't been tested yet. But now, a spoil of war that belonged to Xiao Ran was already equipped with such a system, and it was even used in actual combat. How could Tessa not be surprised?
"How is this possible? Why is there another lambda-driver system? Could it be that our technology has been leaked?" Tessa's face was full of surprise and anxiety. Her action of pulling and twisting her braid became more obvious, and she unconsciously sped up a bit. "This won't do. We must inform the headquarters as soon as possible. By the way, can we confirm where we got this body?"
Andrew said, "According to the report from Sergeant Xiang Liang and the personnel who sent and received this AS, we can confirm that the man named Alex only drove a barbarian and captured this lambda-driver system equipped AS. But in the battle record obtained by cracking the AS's computer, we can confirm that the lambda-driver was indeed activated and used during the battle. It should be because the system overheated and crashed, so it was captured."
After hearing Andrew's words, Tessa's face was full of shock. She cutely stretched out her hands and covered her mouth because she was too shocked. Tessa was definitely the one who understood the lambda-driver the most in the entire Mithril. And a barbarian, a barbarian that was completely behind an ordinary third-generation AS, was actually able to capture an AS that was fully equipped with a lambda-driver. This was simply a dream for Tessa.
Richard took a deep breath after he closed the document. "Unbelievable. With just one Barbarian, they were able to achieve such a terrifying result. It seems that we have to be more careful with them. We can't let such people become our enemy."
Tessa quickly shook her head. "It's not just that. The other party was able to capture this lambda-driver equipped AS with a barbarian. This is no longer a matter of operating skills and combat ability. Even luck can't reach such a level. I'm afraid that they have a deep understanding of the lambda-driver and are very clear about its strengths and weaknesses. I'm now more and more convinced that the child named El Erf is probably the whisperer in their team. Otherwise, there's no other explanation for their understanding of the lambda-driver and for us to bring back such an AS as a trophy."
Andrew was silent for a moment, then asked, "Then what should we do now?"
Tessa turned around and looked at the end of the corridor, then said in a gentle voice, "Return immediately. We need to do the most comprehensive analysis of this AS. Currently, the people in the base don't have a true understanding of the lambda-driver. We need to let someone who truly understands the system examine this AS and see what level it has reached."
"We also need to have a good talk with our guest. Right, let headquarters call that Mr. Luo over."
Once Tessa got serious, she showed a kind of rationality that didn't match her age, which made her make the most correct choice, at least for now. She really had the feeling and aura of a colonel.
They also knew why Xiao Ran was so generous to let their people prepare their trophies. It was simply to show them and the whole Mithril Xiao Ran's combat ability. It also seemed to remind Mithril that he had the ability to kill the lambda-driver by driving the barbarian, and that he also had the possibility of driving the lambda-driver to destroy the entire Mithril.
Coupled with the technical ability shown by Luo, it was not impossible to build a more powerful body, and El Erf's intelligence ability could completely dig out everything about the Mithril. The three combined into one was more like a Mithril showing that even if there were only three of them, they would definitely be able to face Mithril head-on. It was also telling Mithril their sincerity or warning towards the cooperation between the two sides.
For the rest of the time, the people on the Dannu's Son didn't come to find Xiao Ran and El Erf again. Xiao Ran was also happy and relaxed. He also thought that Mithril should have noticed the thing on the King of Hell, and could see that they deliberately showed their strength. It was sincerity, and also a warning. He believed that at this time, the higher-ups of Mithril should have paid full attention to them. As for the origin of the King of Hell, Xiao Ran also believed that there were still some people in Mithril who understood.
After waiting for almost a few hours, Sagara Sosuke directly walked into the lounge and appeared in front of the two. He looked at the masked man who was leaning on the sofa and seemed to be taking a nap, and El Erf who was fiddling with a PDA. Sagara Sosuke also had a serious and serious expression on his face.
"El Erf, Mr. Masked Man, we have arrived at the base of the Western Pacific Squadron. Colonel Tessa asked me to temporarily serve as your receptionist, and let me show you around the base."
