She tried to explain it in simple terms.
"You can imagine it as putting the spirit on a physical body, which has mass and can indeed interfere with reality."
The Togo guys didn't really mind Lingye speaking more simply, since they weren't professional scientists.
"That is to say, her real body is not here?"
No matter how you look at it, she's just an ordinary high school girl.
She was wearing an unknown high school uniform, but the safety pants under the short skirt looked a bit weird.
If you are worried about exposing yourself, you can make your skirt longer. If you want to exercise, just wear pants. It always looks weird to put a short skirt and safety pants together.
This is of course not the real person, or even the real person. It is just that no one except the person involved can tell the difference.
That is Kainar. The main brain of the Lost Battleship does not have a fixed image and can change into any appearance at will.
"You don't need treatment."
This was the first sentence Misaka Mikoto said to Mizoroki after she appeared.
Goroki swallowed his saliva and was unable to speak for a moment. Fortunately, he didn't need to answer, Ling spoke for him.
"We, TLT, want to talk to you about the association."
Then Misaka Mikoto's gaze left Mizoroki and turned to Reiya.
This gave Ling a special feeling, like looking in a mirror. Of course, it was not her true image, but because of frequent use, her brain had a subconscious thought that it was also her.
"What do you want to talk about?"
"Your identity, background, and purpose of the association." Ling also said what everyone really wanted to know.
But this was too straightforward. Goroki originally thought that the assistant officer would be more tactful, at least using some softer words to package the language.
It's not that simple and crude. It doesn't even use rhetoric.
But the other party was not angry.
"My name is Misaka Mikoto, and I come from an Earth civilization in the ancient past and distant future."
Every word she said was recorded by the various radio and video equipment installed in the room, and was carefully analyzed by analysts arranged by TLT's top management.
"So, you are from an Earth civilization that can travel through timelines. You have acquired the technology to go back to the past and travel into the future?"
Because Kainar's words were vague, Ling also explained them in detail in the form of questions.
With the eldest lady saying so, of course Kainaer could only nod.
This is simply unimaginable for TLT, with the technology to travel through time at will. No wonder the other party can offer various items as rewards.
She claims to be an Earth civilization, and regardless of whether it is true or not, humans are willing to believe it, because everyone wants to believe something that is beneficial to them.
"So what is your purpose? To eliminate the alien beasts for humans?"
"Destroy the alien beasts... yes, alien beasts, and the dark giants. Not only for the sake of humanity, but also for all civilizations in the past and future timelines of the Earth."
For Lingye and Kainar, such a conversation is equivalent to talking to themselves and is meaningless.
But when this conversation comes before TLT, and these words are spoken before human beings, this is what it means.
The association was too mysterious, and suddenly appeared in this world. Mystery sometimes does not mean a good thing, not only for humans, but also for Ling in some ways.
The unknown brings fear, and lack of communication creates hostility, which can be avoided.
[Assistant, ask her if she can hand over the technology of time travel to humans.]
It was Officer Soma's voice that came through the headset.
Ling was also a little surprised. Not only her, but even Dongxiang and Xiaoliu who were sitting next to her did not expect that such a request was too direct and too abrupt.
But this is also the significance of having three decision-makers.
Togo, Koyanagi and Soma are of different ages, personalities and experiences, so it is natural that they think about problems from different perspectives.
For any issue, if three people vote and the minority obeys the majority, it means that all aspects have been considered.
Now it's just a question, no vote required.
So Ling asked, and of course got a negative answer.
"Humans today do not have the awareness to master such technology. Otherwise, it will not be the alien beasts that will destroy Earth's civilization, but humans themselves."
The rejection was expected, so Soma was not disappointed.
[Assistant, please ask her, can we humans decide who will join the association? Or, can you give us the list of association members?]
Still Soma.
"Why? Can't you humans even trust yourselves?"
Ling was not surprised that TLT would ask such a question, but although she could understand it rationally, she could not help but feel disappointed emotionally.
[Such power can only be most effectively exerted if it is integrated into the hands of the state.]
This was Soma's explanation, but no excuse could dispel the suspicion.
Even if they are warriors fighting together against the alien beasts, once this power is out of their control, humans will no longer be able to trust each other.
"The association cannot provide such a 'list'. Everyone is working hard to eliminate the alien beasts. So far, six members have paid the price with their lives. There will definitely be more people dying on the battlefield in the future, but everyone still chooses to fight. All I can do is respect the wishes of the soldiers. Those who are willing to cooperate with the authorities, like Mr. Mizoroki, will naturally contact you. If you wish to keep your identity confidential, we will respect that wish."
Ling suddenly lost interest in continuing to talk.
Then the projection of 'Misaka Mikoto' also disappeared.
Chapter 528 Kiss
It couldn't be said to be a bad ending. For the human side, being able to complete the meeting without any conflict was already the best outcome.
This is certainly true for Goroki.
The meeting did not change anything. On the surface, that was the case, but Goroki found that more resources within TLT were tilted towards him.
His rank was changed to lieutenant, the same level as Captain Hekura, and all benefits including salary and allowance were increased. If it was not necessary to gain merit by destroying alien beasts, TLT even hoped that he would leave the front line to ensure safety.
He is one of the few association members on the TLT list, and he is currently the only one confirmed to be in the Third Base, Freedom Fortress.
On the other hand, the TLT is also stepping up its own investigation of possible members of the association, and even selected some members from the MPs to form a professional investigation team to take charge.
They will not easily become hostile to the members of the association, but they want to keep the list in their own hands. After discovering it, whether through communication, inducement or coercion, they will include it in the official compilation.
So, in this context, Goroki was naturally surprised that Himeya Jun's identity had not been discovered.
"Captain, didn't you report the matter of Himeya to your superiors?"
Mizoroki had already told Wakura about Himeya Jun who was also a member of the society.
There was no need to betray him, because Himeya never kept it secret. Even if he didn't tell anyone, it would be easy for him to find out if there were other official people in the association.
How can one use one's original appearance and real name in a society? I don't know what he is thinking.
"I think we should respect each other's opinions on this matter. Gorogi, I hope you can ask him about his decision."
Let Himeya choose for himself. Mizoroki was not surprised. The captain was like this sometimes. As the captain of the Night Raid Team, he was certainly not a good guy, but he did often consider his teammates.
"Don't ask in the Night Raid Team, go to the association and communicate with him as Kenshin when you meet him." Hekura added.
"understood."
Ever since he lost contact with Lizi, Komon has been feeling uneasy, but fortunately he got in touch a day later.
Lizi is in the hospital.
"I'm sorry, Koto, I just suddenly feel unwell."
They were originally going to the zoo, but while walking, she fainted. Lizi herself couldn't explain what happened.
"Which hospital are you in now? I'll come over to take a look."
This was not the first time that Lizi had that strange disease. A sudden fainting like this was no small matter. In any case, Gumen decided to let the association treat her this time. He had already exchanged for it before. It was just that it was not convenient at the zoo at that time. Now that it was in the hospital, it happened to be possible.
But Lizi didn't want to trouble Komon.
"I'm already going through the discharge procedures. It's okay, Gu Men. The hospital checked and there's nothing wrong."
Aside from some scratches on his chest, probably from bumping into something when he fainted, they were minor and would heal quickly after applying some ointment.
"Gumen has more important work to do, so there's no need to distract yourself from me. Come to the zoo when you're free. I'm always there."
Lizi knew that Gumen didn't go to the zoo to see animals, he just liked to be alone for a while so he could think about his own things. Seeing his sunny and cheerful appearance, Lizi knew better than anyone that Gumen was actually a sentimental boy.
He would secretly wipe away tears for his poor rescue work in the rescue team, and would also give up on himself because of the disappointment of his colleagues. They first met in this park, and what she saw was a lonely door like an abandoned little animal, which made people feel that they could not ignore it.
Yes, when they first met, it was Lizi who took the initiative to strike up a conversation.
Thinking about it now, it seems a little unbelievable.
After that, the zoo became the place where they went on every date.
It’s not really a date because no one specifically asked the other out, we just happened to meet, over and over again.
Lizi insisted on not telling him about her hospital, and there was nothing he could do. He couldn't investigate Lizi's whereabouts like investigating a criminal, although it would be easy to find out with TLT's authority.
The next time they meet, he will take Lizi to get treatment no matter what.
In the evening, Fort Liberty.
When Goroki returned to the base, the Night Raid Team had also finished their standby duty. Nothing had happened, and the team members had no idea why they were on standby duty. However, the Night Raid Team was a confidential unit, and everyone knew that they could not ask questions that they should not ask.
Nothing happening is a good thing.
However, Goroki didn't expect that someone would still ask.
"Deputy Captain, you were the only one absent during the daytime standby. You must know the reason, right?"
The one who asked her the question was not the new members Komon and Himeya, but Nishijo Nagi, who had been a member of the team for a long time and was considered a veteran. She knew the rules and should not have asked such a question.
"I know I shouldn't ask these questions. But I'm really worried about you, so don't do anything dangerous, okay?"
That’s right, Mizoroki and Saijo, in addition to being vice-captain and team member, are actually also a couple.
Or they could be called a quasi-couple, because neither of them had ever confessed their love to the other, but they both knew each other's feelings. After joining the Night Raid Team, each of them had a soldier card, and the two of them held the soldier card with each other's name.
As a member of the Night Raid Team, Nishijo Nagi is well aware of the team's confidentiality rules, but as a woman, it is natural for Nishijo Nagi to worry about her boyfriend.
"I'm sorry, Nagi, there are some things I can't tell you. Don't worry, it's not dangerous, it won't be a problem. I still want to retire well, after all the alien beasts are destroyed, we..."
"True, there are some things that cannot be said. If you say them, your luck will go away."
