Chapter 416 Tina Wants to Meet Up

Chapter 416 Tina Wants to Meet Up

In Washington, D.C., at the base of a secret military underground research institute.

"Stop everything."

A man in a white coat walked into the training room, clapped his hands, and told the six girls who were training to stop.

"Professor Rand, is there another new assignment?"

The girls came over, and one of them asked.

"This mission is to assassinate the head of state of Tokyo, Japan."

The man in the white coat nodded and answered her question.

"Head of State, don't we refrain from assassinating those kinds of people?"

A girl named Eileen asked the question, somewhat strangely.

They are an assassin organization, but they don't assassinate just anyone.

Leaders of major powers are rarely targeted.

"The price offered by the employer this time is very high, enough for us to assassinate a head of state."

Qi Wuzong Xuan offered him a mining quota for chromium. In a world teeming with Gastrea, chromium represents the size and quantity of safe zones that can be established. This stuff is more important than money; it's a strategic resource.

"Do you need us to join in?"

"That would make you too conspicuous. I only plan to send two of you to carry out the assassination."

After the man in the white coat finished speaking, he called out the names of two of them.

"Eileen, Tina."

"exist."

"professor."

"Just the two of you. Tina will be in charge of long-range sniping, and Eileen will be in charge of close-quarters combat."

"Professor Rand."

"What's wrong, Tina?"

"Could this assassination mission be entrusted to me alone?"

"You're going to do it alone?"

"Yes, I'm good at long-range sniping. After a successful assassination, I can easily retreat without leaving any trace. On the other hand, Eileen is a melee-type Initiator. If she participated in this assassination, she would likely leave more traces and hinder my retreat."

"What?! You, who's ranked three places below me, dare to say I'll drag you down?"

Upon hearing Tina's words, Eileen immediately became dissatisfied and started shouting, wanting to have a showdown with her.

*Smack!*

But a girl in a tight-fitting outfit slapped her on the back of the head.

The guy covered the back of his head and squatted down.

"Rita, you bastard, why did you hit me?"

She asked with tears in her eyes.

"The professor hasn't said anything, so why should you speak?"

"What, do you want to practice with me again?"

Eileen fell silent. Rita was the highest-ranking starter among the six sisters, and also the strongest.

Codenamed "Pluto", IP21, her IP ranking is only 95, she is no match for her at all, sparring with her will only result in getting beaten up.

[If you're slowing down a retreat, that's only when a retreat is necessary; otherwise, it's a helpful tool to cover your own escape...]

Tina Sprantt, one of the cursed children he cyborgs, may not be the strongest, but she is definitely the calmest.

Unfortunately, as a weapon, she has a fatal flaw: beneath her calm exterior lies a sentimental soul.

His decision to carry out the mission alone was probably just to protect his younger sister, Eileen, and prevent her from becoming an abandoned pawn.

However, this was a foolish decision. As a sniper, firing would reveal her position, and without someone in front to distract her, her risk of being captured would greatly increase.

"Tina, assassinating a head of state is no small matter. If you fail in your assassination attempt, or if you succeed but fail to leave in time, you should know what your fate will be."

"Professor, I understand. If I am to be arrested, I will erase all traces before I am arrested."

Tina met Professor Ann Rand's gaze without flinching, and her words implied that she would choose suicide before being arrested.

"In that case, the task is entrusted to you. I hope you can carry it out successfully."

Ayn Rand said nothing more, handed over the intelligence and several tickets for connecting flights, and left.

"Tina, please don't die."

When the girl with the owl factor returned to her room to pack her luggage, Rita came over and spoke to her older sister, who was only a little older than her and not actually related by blood.

"Don't worry, I'm not that easy to kill."

Tina responded with a smile, and the only luggage she brought was a few clothes and a laptop.

"Don't be too arrogant. The Scorpio case in Tokyo, Japan has been resolved. There should be some top-100 police officers involved."

"Huh?!"

Tina looked surprised, but quickly composed herself, nodded to Rita, and then left the base.

Once she arrived at the airport and boarded the plane, she opened her laptop and sent a message to her only online friend using Nightingale's account.

"I heard that Scorpio has been dealt with, is that true?"

The message was sent out two hours later, when it arrived at the London security zone, before a reply was received.

"It's not true."

"Are you there?"

"right."

Since arriving in this world, Broly has developed the habit of taking out his laptop at night to check things out, because Nightingale sometimes sends him messages.

Although Broly didn't know what Nightingale was like in real life, he had no doubt that he considered her a good friend, as she always supported him.

After Nightingale expressed her curiosity about Scorpio, Broly told her about what had happened the night before.

"Scorpio evolved into an octopus girl?"

"Yes, what, you don't believe me?"

No, I believe you.

That being said, Tina didn't really believe it. If Gastrea could evolve back into humans, even if they were only half-human and half-beast, Professor Ayn Rand couldn't possibly be unaware of it.

"By the way, you're still living in the Tokyo safety zone, right?"

Tina changed the subject.

"Yes, what's wrong?"

Broly answered.

"I'll be going to the Tokyo safety zone tomorrow. Shall we meet then?"

After considering it for a moment, Tina typed and sent her message expressing her desire to meet in person.

"Okay, but I might be a bit busy lately."

"What are you busy with?"

"My master and I have established a Scorpio cult, and we've been busy promoting it and recruiting people!"

Tina immediately thought of the school activity clubs formed by elementary school students, and without taking the Scorpio turning into a human seriously, she quickly gave a reply.

"Then when the time comes, I'll go there and join your Scorpio Cult."

This message was followed by a cute smiling owl emoji.

"That's good. After we meet, I'll introduce you to Scorpio, my master, and the others."

In an indoor stadium, behind the stage, Broly was typing away on his laptop.

"Broly, where did you go?"

The latest novel is first published here!

Aqua's voice soon followed.

"I have to go now, my master is calling me."

After sending the message, Broly packed up his computer and ran towards Aqua.

"I'm here."

"Why are you hiding?"

"I wasn't hiding, I was just chatting with someone."

"Who?"

"A friend I met online."

"Is she my wife?"

"It shouldn't be."

I've known Nightingale online for several days now, but Crystal Palace hasn't given me any hints.

Upon hearing that she wasn't his wife, Aqua immediately lost interest in investigating further.

"Let's do a little stage rehearsal..."

Performing miracles is something Aqua and Eris can do easily, but for Scorpio, whose IQ has been tested at the level of a seven or eight-year-old child, it is something that requires a lot of practice.

"I will begin by recounting the origins of the Scorpio Cult. After I finish, the child, Xiaotian, will float down from directly above the stage. Broly, you will use your aura to enhance the atmosphere during this process, making the child's entrance more sacred and magnificent..."

To summarize the rehearsal process, Aqua was the host, the little octopus girl played the human apostle of the great Scorpion God, and Broly was the real-time effects artist, using his breath to create different colors at different frequencies to produce various beautiful color effects.

"Xiao Tian, ​​you must remember, when your mother finishes saying, 'The great Scorpio Apostle will bestow upon you the blessings of God,' you should cast purification and healing spells on everyone present."

The little octopus girl tilted her head and looked at Aqua. Aqua could only demonstrate, repeating the words "divine grace" as she unleashed a large-scale purification and healing spell.

"Hey, this world doesn't have any magic energy, so the scenes of casting purification and healing spells aren't flashy enough. Broly, could you help add some lighting and special effects?"

"Master Aqua, what kind of lighting and shadow effects do you want?"

"Can you create a special effect like a misty drizzle?"

"Can."

Broly adjusted the aura that enveloped the entire indoor stadium, transforming it into wisps of fine rain.

"Excellent, just right. How can a scene of divine grace be too simple?"

Aqua tried the purification and healing spells again and found the scene to be very spectacular, so she nodded.

"Alright, Xiaotian, try doing what Mom did earlier, too."

The little octopus girl looked at Broly, then at Aqua. After Aqua repeated the words of the blessing, she simultaneously cast Purification, Healing, and Flame Control of Aura.

He mastered the complete special effects-based divine grace scene performance without Broly's help. He truly deserves to be called a smart kid who can release energy blasts and levitate with air after just one lesson.

"Yes, yes, that's it! Our little Tian is so talented, he truly is a wonderful child!"

Aqua reached out and touched the little octopus girl's head. Scorpio seemed very happy, twisting his body twice in mid-air before wrapping himself around Aqua.

Wrapping their bodies around each other and stroking with the tendrils of their hair seems to be Scorpio's way of expressing their affection.

"Ouch, it itches. Okay, okay, Mom knows you're a good boy, but you can't bother people tomorrow. As your own representative, you should maintain an air of mystery and authority."

Aqua sternly instructed Scorpio, and the little octopus girl rubbed her pink face against Aqua. After Aqua pushed her face away, indicating that she should learn her current expression, she quickly realized what her mother, Aqua, wanted her to do, and instead imitated Aqua by putting on a serious little face.

Unfortunately, the little octopus girl looked too young and cute. Even when she tried to put on a serious face, she still looked like a wild beast cub and couldn't be dignified at all. On the contrary, Eris, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but reach out and pinch her little cheek.

"Ah, sorry, I just couldn't help myself."

Seeing the little octopus girl looking at her with a puzzled expression, Eris realized what was happening and quickly lowered her hand, apologizing.

"Hmm, it's a bit too unserious."

While the little octopus girl reached out and pinched Eris's delicate face, Aqua raised her hand and began to manually adjust the expression on Scorpio's face.

"You should be a little serious and not smile too much. You can't be too casual, but you also can't be too stern. That's right, maintaining a blank expression is best!"

After a moment of adjustment, Aqua looked at the expressionless little Scorpio with great satisfaction. The aloof little octopus girl was simply amazing.

Afterwards, they rehearsed twice more, and only after confirming that there were basically no problems did they finish and go home. As for contacting the prospective believers who had signed the initiation application and left their contact numbers, Aqua left that to the customer service staff of the hotline department under the Holy Emperor.

Tomorrow, we'll spend another half day promoting this, then in the afternoon we'll go to Sumire Wamuro to get some Gastrum virus injections. Tonight, we'll hold the Scorpion Cult's first Mass here, converting those false believers and expanding the Scorpion Cult. The plan is perfect.

"Oh, right, we also need to invite the Holy Emperor to come and pay our respects. Using such an important secular figure will enhance the prestige of our religious order!"

Aqua suddenly thought of something and said.

"Senior Aqua, you're planning to use Gastrea virus injections to inject those passersby who don't convert to believers even after witnessing miracles, forcing them to become Scorpio Cult followers. I think you should avoid harming your first believer in this world."

Eris said with some helplessness, she could already imagine how explosive the scene would be tomorrow night. Those who voluntarily became believers would be fine, but those who didn't would probably suffer.

For a god, it's quite simple to discern whether someone is a believer, especially in this alien world where there are no native deities and faith is somewhat neglected.

. . . .

Upon arriving at her hotel in the transit area, Tina, lying on the bed, couldn't help but swing her legs. The mission she carried—to assassinate a head of state—was somewhat heavy, but the prospect of seeing her online friends filled her with anticipation.

Although she hadn't known the boy for very long, Tina had already considered him a friend because they got along well and he was able to speak up for the cursed child.

However, despite being called friends, she didn't actually know what the kid looked like in real life, nor did she know if he was a kid around her age, just with a fiery temper.

Also, should I bring a small gift for the first meeting and give it to the other person after we meet?

But what kind of gift should I give when we meet?

Is it the minimalist, lightweight, and beautiful Glock 17?

It's still rather bulky, but if there's someone the kid wants to kill in the future, he can use it for long-range sniping and blow their heads off with the Barrel M82?

Tina Sprantt, codenamed "Black Wind" and ranked 98th in the international IP rankings, didn't see anything wrong with giving firearms as gifts to friends she was meeting for the first time.

She was struggling to decide what gift to give to her little brother, Broly.
