With this plan, he flew out of "Asano" according to Xiaojing's instructions.
Of course, he had been paying attention to his surroundings as he flew, but unfortunately, he couldn't seem to find anything.
"Well, not to mention the breath, I didn't even find any traces."
"There must be a lot of invaders on this North American continent, right?"
Now, in the world, although the appearance of invaders continues to occur in daily life, there are also areas where there are large numbers and areas where there are small numbers.
Among many regions, the North American continent can be said to bear the brunt, and it can even be learned in primary school classrooms.
It's really strange that there's no trace of it in a place like that.
"It's not impossible. Is it possible that you can't even sense it?"
"I'm not saying it's absolutely impossible, but it's very unlikely."
"Are you confident in your perception?"
"I'm also very confident, and the nature of that luck is hard to completely overwhelm."
The invaders are not serious creatures, but hybrids generated by magic.
From that characteristic, no matter how An Zhiyun kills the breath, the magic breath emitted by the body composed of magic power cannot be eliminated.
If the method used is not to kill the breath but to block the perception, then it is a different matter. However, dealing with this method requires corresponding training, which is a very high skill.
In fact, it took Xion about a month to use it stably.
It’s hard to imagine an intruder suddenly appearing who can master such a difficult skill.
"That's it. Now that you are aware of it consciously, you won't miss it."
"I see... Then, as long as you increase the sensitivity of the sensor, you can track the reaction even if it's not you."
"Yes, it shouldn't be a difficult problem. I hope you will deal with it as soon as possible."
And I hope to relieve Theon's burden as soon as possible.
He said a few words casually and moved while paying attention to the movement around him.
Still no sign of a fluke, or rather, no sign of anyone but a fluke.
"By the way, does anyone live near here?"
"At least not on the way to the third place."
Xion suddenly thought of something and asked Anna, who answered immediately.
"Really... If it's in a town, that's a different matter."
"If there was a town, we would be making a scene. In fact, regardless of the distance to respond, every base in North America is on alert."
"Yeah. For better or worse, those guys are true to their instincts."
If there is a place where a few people live nearby, the males will bite there without reacting.
There is no need to conduct such a search without knowing whether it will be discovered.
——For the people and the human army living in such a place, this is probably the worst and best place.
"In the past few days, they have appeared frequently in the interior, and they have not been affected yet. Just like no intruders have been found here, no human habitation has been found there - that is, in areas far away from human habitation. This seems to be the opinion above. "
"...That's exactly what it feels like."
The human military's perspective is not surprising. I think things are best derived from what is currently known.
But is it really good to be somewhere far away from people?
(Well, that’s not what I should say)
If that's what the human army judges, then Theon's intervention as a mere facilitator would be too much. Talking too much and being disliked wouldn't do Theon any good either.
"So, it seems that we have reached the third place... What should we do next? Captain?"
"Are you still unresponsive...I understand, let's go back to the ship."
"Is that okay? I'm glad to be able to relax a little bit, but at this time I have to do some patrolling, right?"
"No, no need. This is the place farthest from human habitation. Instead of wasting time here, it's better to go to the fourth place first."
Aster accepted Ajid's judgment and replied with understanding before turning the machine towards the ship.
"Is there anything you still care about?"
Ajid naturally asked a question similar to asking for opinions, and Xion was a little surprised.
There's also the reason why I just wanted to stop talking so much because the timing was so good.
"...No, nothing special."
"That's good. However, I know too little about that matter. If there is anything you care about, please feel free to report it."
"knew."
After ending the communication and heading towards "Miststan" wordlessly, Theon felt an itching feeling.
"I'm not entirely convinced... that's how it should be."
I think what the human military requires of Theon is combat capabilities against invaders and aliens, as well as an intelligence source that can answer questions.
On the other hand, there are no requirements at all.
In particular, the last thing you want is input and interference from Theon, who you can't completely trust.
In fact, the search mission that was suddenly received this time was also quite one-sided. This understanding is probably correct.
In this case, Argento came to confirm as a matter of course whether she had any objections, which purely surprised her and made her feel a little uncomfortable.
(I plan to treat you in a business tone...)
Just as the human army does not trust us, Theon does not regard the human army as one of his own.
He planned to respond to the other party's request without harming his own interests and confront the human army as if nothing had happened.
Under such circumstances, besides Anna, there are people who respect Theon Istar as an individual, which is somewhat beyond my expectation.
As a human being, that in itself is a pretty amazing thing.
Because of this, Theon is in pain.
It was already dark at this time, and there was a dark night sky outside the ship.
Natsumi Lightsaber walked alone inside the "Mist" ship.
Although she is a newcomer, Natsumi has been appointed as the helmsman of the "Mist" and has just taken a break from the deputy helmsman.
Just happened to be sweating in the shower.
"...Suddenly becoming the helmsman is really hard..."
The complaints that I can't help but express are sincere without any hesitation.
Originally, Natsumi was supposed to ride the "Mist" as the co-helmsman.
However, in the incident on the Seventh Artificial Island, the person who was supposed to be at the helm died, so he could only serve as the helm temporarily.
According to the general idea, even if the person who was supposed to sit in that position dies, the job cannot be handed over to a new person who just graduated from the non-commissioned officer school not long ago.
However, the crew of the "Mist" seems to be selected according to special criteria, so it is impossible to arrange a matching helmsman.
As for that special standard, it was said to be confidential and they didn't tell me. In short, Natsumi's military life started in hade mode.
Natsumi is basically an optimistic and cheerful person, but she's so tired that she can't help but whine.
Fortunately, there are no issues with the technology at the helm.
When she was in the sergeant academy, Natsumi's skills were described by the teachers as "a level that can be immediately put into actual combat", and she was completely competent in this level of navigation.
The cause of fatigue is largely due to the pressure of responsibility of the helmsman.
But it's not just her job that worries Natsumi.
"(Theon, what's wrong with you?)"
After the incident on the artificial island, Natsumi never had the chance to meet Xion again.
The most important reason is that Natsumi, who was simply appointed to be the helmsman, can hardly leave the bridge.
Basically, Natsumi couldn't leave there except when she and the co-helmsman took a break.
If that was the case, it would be nice to go see Xion during this limited rest time, but I was hesitant.
Although he saved his life, he rightfully suspected Theon was a dangerous enemy.
Natsumi's apology came too late, and he just said lightly, "There is nothing we can do about it." I don't know if it was correct.
Natsumi was afraid to take the first step when she thought about the last conversation.
"(But... I care a lot...)"
Just a few hours ago, Natsumi was lucky enough to have the opportunity to have lunch with her brother Haruma, Lina and others.
Although not as good as facing Theon, it has been difficult to arrange such a time since becoming the helmsman, so it was purely a happy accident. I heard from Halma that Theon was hiding from Ji and the members of the Thirteenth Skill Class. .
From Natsumi's point of view, Xion and Ji are undoubtedly close friends.
Not just Natsumi, but everyone who knew the two of them at the time would say this.
