Xiao Ran's reason prevented him from using the system that would be scrapped as soon as the Whisperer was discovered. But if he chose to use it, he would also be like other participants and the participant team, and he would immediately discover the Whisperer. There are actually Whisperers near them.
One hundred participants. If each participant performs the task independently, then it is just a problem of one hundred whisperers. However, the number of whisperers in this world far exceeds one hundred. Several times more, so each participant or participant team is actually randomly placed near the Whisperer.
But in Xiao Ran's mind, since he already knew clearly who the whisperer was, and could more accurately know where the whisperer was, he would naturally not waste this opportunity looking for an unknown whisperer, and In Xiao Ran's view, this laptop, which has only one chance to find the Whisperer, should not simply use its functions. After experiencing so many tasks, Xiao Ran felt that this opportunity should be used more appropriately. The place.
While other participants were looking for their mission goals, Xiao Ran, Luo and Elf slowly and leisurely spent three days and finally arrived at their goal. Place, Tokyo, Japan.
There was absolutely no problem with the identities prepared by Prometheus for the participants, so the three of them did not encounter any problems during their arrival in Japan, nor were they targeted due to problems with their passports.
The three people who came out of the airport looked a little tired, but there was not much fatigue on their faces. It was just that the three consecutive days of traveling made the clean clothes worn by the three people look a little dirty. Although the clothes The quality and style looked pretty good, but the smell of sweat and the sticky feeling did make the three of them feel a little uncomfortable.
However, after the three of them saw the city in the distance, they all felt relieved. They directly hailed a taxi and headed to downtown Tokyo.
Xiao Ran and the others are not unfamiliar with the huge city of Tokyo. After all, there is also such a city in the 00 world. It is the same huge and the same population. Even the branches of the city are basically the same. The only difference is that in the 00 world Tokyo appears more advanced, while this city appears more ordinary and backward.
After finding a hotel to rest for a long time, the three of them, who had put on clean clothes, got together again early in the morning and began to determine the next move plan. Al Elf had already collected the information the night before. There is quite a lot of information about this world, this country, and this city, which also gave Elf some more understanding of the world in addition to the basic common sense instilled in him by Prometheus.
The three of them got together to discuss the next plan and to have breakfast together. After taking a sip of milk in front of him, Elf picked up the handheld computer next to him and pointed it at Xiao Ran who was eating breakfast. Heluo said:
"About this world, I didn't find anything too special in the information I found yesterday. Nowadays, the main weapons of various countries are mobile weapons called armsve, or AS for short. According to the information and intelligence I found, Look, this kind of mobile weapon called AS can get a D rating at most, and even the second-generation new AS that is the main force in various countries today can hardly pose much of a threat to us."
"This kind of mobile weapon called AS completely falls within the category of real low-level technology. Even Luo can copy it with the simplest equipment and even create a body that surpasses the performance of AS. From these aspects, this The world does not have any characteristics of a super system. There is enough evidence to support the real world of the low-level newcomer stage. However, there is currently no information on whether there are unknown factors hidden under the world that indicate that this world belongs to a super system world. .”
"The situation in this world is a typical Cold War situation between the East and the West. The big countries are peaceful but the small peripheral countries have been in war for many years. They cannot be simply distinguished as justice or evil. Therefore, these countries can only exist as forces but cannot act as Camps exist, and there should be deeper forces that represent justice or evil in hidden places that have not yet been discovered.”
"In addition, I have also learned about the technological level of this world. It is roughly equivalent to the twenty years before Luo's World Adjuster appeared. I have not found any technological systems worth collecting."
"Finally, after searching a lot of information, I discovered that there is a special armed organization hidden in this world that is independent of other countries, an armed organization called Mithril. This organization is supported and assisted by most countries, but it is It is not subject to the jurisdiction and restrictions of any country. It is independent and has the best AS combat forces in the world. It mainly conducts anti-terrorism operations and some special operations. It has more than ten years of world-leading technology and deserves our attention."
"It is currently impossible to truly determine whether this Mithril organization is justice or evil. Of course, it appears to belong to the justice camp on the surface. However, if our participants make too much noise in this world, then eight percent of this Mithril organization will Ten will probably become our main enemy."
Xiao Ran put down the knife and fork in his hand, nodded slightly, and said after a deep sigh: "This organization called Mithril can be judged as a justice camp. Judging from the initial behavior of Prometheus, it is more likely to become our ally. It can Pay more attention to the information about mithril."
"Understood." Al Elf nodded and said: "If Mithril belongs to justice, then there must be an evil camp, but there is nothing found in my data."
Xiao Ran touched his chin and tried hard to recall some information about the world of Full Metal Panic. After about ten seconds, he said: "The evil side should be an organization called Amalgam. You can also try to collect information. , but you have to be careful not to expose yourself when you go there, haha, it’s just you, and you don’t have to worry about this because you have electronic hardware and technology that are beyond this world.”
"Amalgam?" Al Elf nodded and recorded the ranking in his computer: "I will pay attention to collect surrounding information about this word, so what is our next plan?"
Xiao Ran tapped the table lightly with his fingers, and the soft sound made Luo, who was just focusing on eating, put down his work, wiped his mouth and looked at Xiao Ran, only to hear Xiao Ran say: "The mission this time is only There are three of us, there are few people, the machine level is low and the number is insufficient. It can be said that this is when we are at our weakest. Although we are not forced to join a certain force like the real zone mission, even if we choose a national force to join, we can get At best, our support is only those inferior mobile weapons called AS, which cannot help our strength much. Instead, it will easily expose ourselves to the eyes of other participants, and it will also affect our main mission one."
"In addition, we are performing a super zone mission that we don't understand at all. Even if there are not many machines that can symbolize the super system in this world, our opponent participants must have super system machines in their hands, and they are fighting We also don’t have much advantage in head-to-head competition.”
"It can be said that our mission this time is a dangerous mission without any logistics, no supplies, unknown situation, no understanding of the enemy, and lack of combat effectiveness. It is also different from the first mission of newcomers. Everyone is on the same level. We are also on the same level. There are not many advantages, but with such a D-class machine in hand, it is difficult to say whether the other participants have class... No, it should be a sophisticated-level super-type machine, which will have a crushing force advantage over us. "
Elf and Luo nodded after hearing Xiao Ran's words. Indeed, they did not have much advantage in this mission. If Xiao Ran's foresight was put aside, then the only one Taiwan's D-class fighting heresy, which is rated based on the real zone evaluation level, will be at a huge disadvantage when facing participants with a small team size, but it is basically impossible to build another machine body.
"So, we must hide ourselves better, at least as much as possible in front of other participants, especially those from the evil camp. In order to make up for our disadvantages, we can also find a suitable Allies cooperate and give some technology in exchange for what we need, and Mithril is a very good collaborator."
Al Elf nodded and said: "I will find ways to collect more information about Mithril and try to contact and cooperate with the other party. However, I will first determine whether it poses a threat to us, or after cooperation, Expose our presence.”
"Well, there's no need to worry about this for the time being. Just make contact after it's confirmed." Xiao Ran nodded and said: "The last thing is about the Whisperer. Elf, you can check all the people in Tokyo now." , a female high school student named Chidori Kaname.”
As soon as Xiao Ran finished speaking, Al Elf started operating on his handheld computer. With Al Elf's ability and the advanced nature of the computer in his hand, Al Elf had already hacked into it last night. On the government agency network, after entering keywords for analysis and search, it took only a dozen seconds to find what Xiao Ran needed.
"Kaname Chidori, a female high school student. There are a total of eight people who meet this condition in Tokyo."
Xiao Ran waved to Elf, who directly handed the computer in his hand to Xiao Ran's hand. Although Xiao Ran was very good at operating this handheld computer, he still had trouble flipping it left and right. After turning two pages After that, Xiao Ran found his goal.
"Chidori Kaname, sophomore at Jindai High School in Chofu City, sixteen years old, blood type B, American nationality, parents divorced, school evaluation is excellent, serves as the vice president of the student union."
"That's her." Xiao Ran threw the handheld computer to Al Elf. Luo also moved his head close to Al Elf and glanced at the little girl in the photo, then turned to Xiao Ran and asked: "Is this the target we want to protect? It doesn't look like anything special."
From the beginning, Xiao Ran and Luo tended to protect rather than control when choosing tasks. Elf preferred control simply because of the difficulty of the task. However, after being in this team for so long, Xiao Ran and the others were also attracted by it. Infected, so now he does not consider performing tasks by what he once considered normal means.
After glancing at the blue-haired girl on the screen, Elf also asked: "The Whisperer?"
"A rather special Whisperer is very suitable as our target." Xiao Ran smiled slightly, tapped the table twice and said: "As for that opportunity, I think it would be more beneficial for us to use it at a critical moment. big."
Elf thought for a while, if he left the laptop to search for the Whisperers, either new Whisperers could be discovered, making the Whisperers in their hands plural, or the location of other participants could be found to a certain extent. position, especially when all the participants from the evil camp gathered together. As for how Xiao Ran was sure that this girl was the Whisperer, Al Elf may have understood something but kept it in his heart.
After looking at the information Chidori asked for, Elf also frowned and said: "The target person is still a student. There is a long distance between her home address and the school, which will inevitably lead to her being in trouble. When you come into contact with more people during your studies, the environment will become very complicated, and it will be very difficult to provide proper protection under such circumstances.”
"So." Xiao Ran smiled at Elf: "Then you, a young man who is only seventeen years old, go to school with her, after school, and even go home together. You also know that we It’s basically impossible to sneak into the school.”
Luo bulged his mouth and turned his head away, covering his mouth with his hand and secretly laughing: "I want Elf to go to school. I can't help but think of him sitting in the classroom obediently listening to the class."
After hearing Xiao Ran's words, Al Elf also showed a confused expression for an instant, but this expression only lasted for less than three seconds on Al Elf's face before returning to normal, and nodded indifferently. : "I understand, I will handle the next thing."
"By the way, I'm afraid the money we have is not enough for our expenses for a long time. In addition, we also need money to buy the weapons and equipment you use during the protection process. I will leave these all to you." Xiao Ran patted. He stood up, and then said to Elf: "Luo and I went to the nearby military base to see if there was any suitable opportunity to get something, how to join the school, rent a house, find money to get weapons, etc. I’ll leave the work to you.” (.)
