In a remote corner of the concession, Royd stood there helplessly, watching the busy subordinates coming and going around, sighing from time to time.
I originally thought that after working overtime to adjust Lancelot's state to the best, I could participate in Cornelia's bandit suppression and collect more practical data.
As a result, this result was achieved.
Last night,
A sudden explosion blew away a port warehouse somewhere southeast of the concession.
According to the official news, this was a flammable explosion accident caused by the staff's inadvertent operation, but in fact, it caused the entire mission to be transferred here by Cornelia's order.
, investigate the cause of the accident.
Royd had no choice but to look at the devastated ports around him.
"The mission is just an organization that develops new organisms!! Why do you come to investigate an accident that is no different from a mysterious incident!!"
In private, Royd complained wildly to Saihil and Remingkai.
Saihil and Lei Mingkai also expressed their helplessness.
What they knew and what they knew were nothing more than Royd, and he knew much better than Royd, who had obtained first-hand information from Cornelia ten hours after the incident.
"Royd. What the hell is going on?"
Saihil looked at him who had already changed into an isolation suit and carefully searched for some remaining clues that might exist at the explosion.
Royd sighed, and after making a gesture to me, he turned around and took Saihil and Leimingkai back to the transport vehicle that was housed by Lancelot.
"Look, this is a video collected by the Governor from the port duty room after the incident. Let's talk about other things after watching!"
After Seishil and Lei Mingkai looked at each other, they focused on the screen.
I saw that after the dark monitor flashed for a few seconds, a gray picture with uncertain light and darkness appeared.
Judging from the time scale displayed on the upper left side of the screen, it should be a video at around 1 a.m.
According to the port's operating procedures, this time should not be very busy. In the next second, what Royd said also confirmed this.
"According to the inquiry results obtained from the staff after the incident, the port just completed the loading and unloading of the last freighter before the incident, and all the workers had completed the preparations for finishing get off work and left one after another. port."
"That is, there are no casualties?" Saihil asked casually.
"It's not that there are no one. It's just that they are unlucky. Look!" Royd curled his lips and pointed at the screen.
Under the gaze of everyone, two staff members suddenly appeared from the outside of the screen.
Although they couldn't see their expressions clearly, judging from their actions, they seemed to be in a hurry.
"Has something been dropped?" Lei Mingkai asked.
"Well. After the incident, the staff who returned to the port learned that these two unlucky guys did return in a hurry after accidentally dropping their personal belongings at the port."
While Royd made an explosion gesture, the image reappeared the explosion that once happened here.
"From this video, there is no big problem?" Saihil said his conclusion with some hesitation.
"Is that so? Then, what about you watching this video?" Royd raised his hand and pressed it, and the screen was switched to the direction where another camera was located.
Similarly, they could still see videos of the two hasty staff running towards the port.
However, a few seconds later, Lei Mingkai suddenly found a black shadow passing by the camera.
"Pause! Playback for three seconds!"
Lei Mingkai shouted lightly.
"Sure enough, k has discovered the key."
Royd pressed the playback button, turned the time back to ten seconds ago, and turned on the slow playback function, a blurred black shadow appeared in front of Lei Mingkai again.
"What is this? Could it be that the explosion was created?" Saihl exclaimed.
If Royd hadn't adjusted the slow playback to the maximum, Sehel would probably not have noticed that a black shadow would pass by on the screen as soon as possible.
"I have no idea."
Royd pressed the pause button, freezes the shadow on the screen, spreads his hands, indicating that he is also unaware of it.
"The governor meant to ask us to find this black shadow?" Lei Mingkai thought for a while, then looked at Royd and asked.
"Yes! A very special faction turned into a monster hunter! That's really alas!" Royd sighed in distracting meaning.
"Is that all that?" Lei Mingkai ignored Royd's sigh and asked another question.
"No, there is still." Royd suddenly showed a mysterious smile.
"Saishir, Lei Mingkai. Please don't blink. In addition to the very few insiders, including the Governor, the only one in the next video is me. You guys who are about to watch the video will know."
"Hey? Is it really okay?" Saihl exclaimed.
"No, no, no. There is no problem. After all, if there is really a fight, you can't escape it, k, and Saihil."
Royd waved his hand and pressed the password in sequence on the operating table. Another brand new picture appeared in the eyes of Lei Mingkai and Sai Hill.
"This, is this knightmare?!" Saihel stared at the huge body that almost occupied the entire picture.
On the picture, a huge body that could not see clearly the outline and was almost occupied by a mosaic was facing away from the camera, as if it was fighting with an existence.
The only thing that can be seen clearly is that the back of this huge body does not have the unique cockpit of Knightmare.
"No. It's not knightmare." Lei Mingkai denied Saihel's words and carefully looked at the huge body that appeared in the picture.
"This is not the knightmare we are familiar with. Its height and its shape are not designed based on the design ideas we use. Right? Royd."
"Smack it!"
Royd clapped his palms in admiration.
"Congratulations on your answer right! You are worthy of being a top student at Royal Academy! Saihil, you are so embarrassing this time. Thanks to you having been with me for so long."
"Really, I'm really sorry!!" Saihel quickly bowed and apologized.
"No, don't need to be here. Actually, when I saw this body, it was similar to you, Saihe."
As Royd spoke, he changed into a serious face.
"Do you know? If you calculate the rough proportion of the body size shown on the screen, the result is that this mysterious and huge body is at least about 19 meters tall."
"19 meters? How is it possible? According to our energy system, it is impossible to provide a stable output energy for organisms of this height." Saihl denied again.
"Yes. According to our current knightmare design and manufacturing ideas, it is indeed impossible to create such a huge body."
Royd nodded and recognized Seishi's denial. However, he said:
"But the body in this video does exist. Don't you want to know what caused the port explosion? This is the reason."
Royd raised his hand and tapped the screen, and told the truth word by word.
"Royd, do you mean the explosion caused by the battle between this huge body and the black shadow?"
Royd shook his head, not denying Lei Mingkai's doubts, but he was not sure.
“That’s what we have to investigate.”
Yes.
This is the task entrusted to the delegation by the new Governor Cornelia.
In fact, Royd knew that this might be because he was too anxious, which led to Cornelia, who was not optimistic about the special mission, stuffed this task to him and sent the special mission out so that he would not always go back and forth in front of him.
"Royd, isn't there any clearer video?" Lei Mingkai, who had carefully observed the video, suddenly asked.
"No, that's all. It seems that because of some kind of interference, almost all the cameras arranged in the entire port have lost their function. You know, in this port, there are hundreds of cameras of all sizes.
many."
Royd took a few steps back and leaned against the wall and continued, "It's already very difficult to capture the shadows and the mysterious body."
No matter how you think about the existence of black shadows and huge bodies, the investigation still needs to be carried out.
But, just as the investigation was on the second day, an emergency order broke the busy scene and completely ignited Royd's passion.
"K!!! Commitment is coming!! The special mission can finally participate in the actual combat! Lancelot can make his debut again!!"
"What mission?" Remingkai, who was debugging Lancelot, jumped down from the open cockpit and landed in front of Royd.
"Kidnapping incident! A kidnapping incident occurred at the conference center hotel in Kawaguchiko! The robbers claimed to be the Neon Liberation Front. This is a hostage video."
Saihil, who rushed over from the side, raised his hand and handed the tablet to Lei Mingkai.
The next moment, Lei Mingkai's pupils shrank.
"Yufei?!!!"
Although the camera was only translated through the crowd, Lei Mingkai, who had amazing eyesight, could still clearly see the crowd. His beautiful long pink hair and the one that was still familiar even with his eyes as a coverup.
