…
"Don't be nervous, everyone, she is not an enemy."
After glancing at Haotai, who was highly nervous, Dr. Perla patted Haotai on the shoulder and signaled Haotai to relax.
"It was indeed the right decision to let Soma bring her to this area."
Pushing up his glasses, the doctor walked up to the girl. Under the girl's confused gaze, Perla squatted down slightly, smiled and rubbed her head. "Stop talking here and there, come to my laboratory. I will explain it carefully next."
"I'm gonna start now."
"I'm done eating."
Tilting her head, the girl looked at Liuyun and Soma with innocent and pure eyes.
…
Fenrir's Far East Branch, a survivor base completely surrounded by the Aragami's defensive wall.
Most of the people who passed the God Eater test were assigned to live in the outer area, which was the first area to be attacked when the Aragami invaded.
In the middle area, the family members of the God Eaters usually live here. This is also the right granted by Fenrir to the God Eaters.
After all, if you want a horse to run, you have to let it eat grass.
The central area, that is, the cellar, is also the core headquarters of the branch, the dormitory where the God Eaters live, the vault of the divine machine, and Dr. Pera's laboratory.
At this moment, a cry of extreme surprise came from Dr. Pera's laboratory.
"Why!!!"
"Um, do you know what you're talking about?"
Thanks to the fact that he usually dealt with more emergencies, Sakuye put away his surprised expression, coughed slightly, and once again looked at Dr. Pera who was standing as a girl.
"Well, is it still difficult to accept it? But the fact is, this child is an Aragami."
Smiling and pushing up his glasses, Dr. Pera poured himself a glass of water, held the cup, and leaned slowly on his desk.
"Wait a minute! Danger!"
I don't know if it was subconsciously, but Alyssa hid herself in the flowing clouds, exposed her eyes, and looked curiously at the Aragami girl sitting on the ground.
"Don't worry, she's not hostile."
When he was in Sakura's reincarnation, Liuyun gained the ability to sense hostility. Although this ability usually seems dispensable under the influence of mental power perception, it is still quite excellent as a passive skill.
"Liu Yun is right, this little guy won't prey on you.
You also know that all Aragami have a characteristic called partial eclipse. Under the influence of this characteristic, they will have their own tendency to prey. Of course, this feature is also used in your magic machine. "
"The partial eclipse characteristic of this Aragami is that it prefers higher-level Aragami. In other words, we no longer belong to its food category."
Listening to Dr. Pera's lecture, Liu Yun's eyes collided with that of the Aragami girl. After thinking about it, Liu Yun took out the beef jerky from his pocket, tore open the package and put it into the hands of the Aragami girl.
Like a newborn beast, the Aragami girl gently sniffed the beef jerky in her hand, stretched out her tongue and licked it. Her eyes lit up after knowing the taste, and she gently put the beef jerky into her mouth and chewed it slowly.
"Aragami actually don't have the characteristics of other creatures. They plan at an astonishing speed by hunting.
As a result, a variety of evolutionary possibilities were condensed in a very short period of time.
In this case, this guy was lost in the dead end of a temporary evolutionary obstacle just like the rest of us, and he was an Aragami who completed a near-human evolution. "
Having said this, Dr. Pera looked at Liuyun who was sharing the food with the Aragami girl and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He didn't expect that she would choose food other than the Aragami core. This made him even more curious about the structure of the Aragami girl. How different are humans.
"An almost human... Aragami?"
Looking at the Aragami girl who was still curious about the beef jerky, Soma frowned.
The words human and god were mixed together, which always brought back unpleasant memories in his heart.
"Yes, I did some research before and found out that this child's head ganglia can almost perform the same functions as the human brain.
The learning ability is quite high and it is really interesting. "
"teacher!"
Raising his hand, Haotai looked at the doctor.
"Oh, Mr. Haotai, please speak."
"I generally understand it, but there are still some things that are unclear. This guy often talks about eating, I started, I'm full and so on. What does it mean? After knowing that she is Aragami, I feel that this is Pretty scary stuff.”
Looking weakly at the Aragami girl sitting on the ground, Haotai looked very worried.
He always felt like he was sitting with a wild beast and would be eaten at any time.
"Have a meal!"
Having learned how to tear open the package, the Aragami girl held the beef jerky Liu Yun gave her again. When she heard Haotai mentioned eating, she raised her hand and shouted to Haotai.
Then, this scared Haotai again.
"As I said just now, the root of Arakami's partial eclipse tendency is that he does not eat creatures that are highly similar to himself. However, when he is really hungry like just now, he will eat things he doesn't like."
"Speaking of which, although they are called wild gods, it is actually us humans who gave them names with the word "god" based on some of them.
It's very interesting how they think about maintaining such an ecology, and what process they go through before they can be called "gods".
Among them, it is completely in human form and may be the most precious case. "
Although he wanted to start research immediately, Dr. Pera's cultivation still prevented him from leaving like this. Looking at the clock hanging on the wall, Dr. Pera smiled.
“Then, that’s the end of the symposium.
Also, I hope you can help keep today’s matter a secret, okay? "
Although his voice was not loud, Dr. Pera's tone was extremely serious. Looking around, Dr. Pera looked at Liuyun.
However, as soon as he turned around, Dr. Pera himself could not describe his mood at the moment. Emotional Liuyun didn't say anything for a long time, and he actually taught the Aragami girl how to play rock, paper, scissors as if he were raising a child.
"But, if we don't report to instructor Amamiya and the branch chief..."
Following the doctor's gaze and looking at the Aragami girl who was sitting on the ground playing rock-paper-scissors with Liuyun, Sakuya sighed and spoke with a slightly worried tone.
To her, it is incredible that Aragami learned from humans and shifted the direction of evolution towards humans.
If she was asked to accept these things at once that were enough to subvert her cognition, Sakuya could only say sorry, but she really couldn't do it.
"Sakuya. As a world-famous God Eater who protects mankind, do you want to tell everyone that you brought the secret of Aragami into the cellar of the frontline stronghold?"
Pushing up his glasses, Dr. Pera looked at Sakuya.
"But why, Doctor?"
Seeing Sakuye in trouble, Alyssa, who was standing next to Liuyun, put down the beef jerky she fed to the Aragami girl and turned the topic to Dr. Pera.
To keep a secret, there must be a reason to keep it secret.
"As I said, it is a precious and important sample. It is a personal research object for me as a stargazer."
Facing an unknown field of interest, any scholar full of curiosity cannot resist its temptation, and Dr. Pera, who is a stargazer, is no exception.
"Don't worry, this room is completely independent from the communication facilities and defense networks in other areas. Moreover, you don't want this to involve your private activities, right?
One more thing, I hope you understand, we are already accomplices, we are grasshoppers on a rope, and we must cooperate well in the future. "
Squinting his eyes, Dr. Pera had a harmless expression on his face, as if to tell everyone that he didn't drag them all into the water on purpose.
"Anyway, I quite like this kid. It's not a big deal to help you keep secrets. I'm pretty good at keeping secrets."
When it comes to keeping secrets, Liu Yun feels that no one is better than him. After all, he has many secrets hidden within him.
Watched by the Aragami girl's curious eyes, Liu Yun stretched out his hand and gently poked her face.
The most important thing is, who can refuse a child who is neither noisy nor fussy and is very obedient. Although, this is an Aragami child whose evolution is biased toward humans.
However, having given birth to reason, she has escaped the scope of Aragami's beast.
