Chapter 920 Determining the Goal
Xiao Ran's rationality prevented him from using the system that would be scrapped as soon as the Whisperer was discovered. However, if he had chosen to use it, he would have discovered the existence of the Whisperer right near them, just like other participants and the participant team.
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 is far more than one hundred times, so each participant or team of participants is actually randomly placed near the Whisperers.
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 naturally would not waste this opportunity on finding an unknown Whisperer, and in Xiao Ran It seems that this laptop, which has only one chance to find the Whisperer, should not simply use its functions. After experiencing so many tasks, Xiao Ran feels that this opportunity should be used in a more appropriate place.
While other participants were looking for their mission goals, Xiao Ran took Luo and El-Elf, but spent three days slowly and leisurely, and finally arrived at their destination, Tokyo, Japan.
The identity prepared by Prometheus for the participants was absolutely no problem, so the three of them did not encounter any problems during the time they came to 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. However, the three consecutive days of traveling made the clean clothes worn by the three people look a bit dirty. Although the quality and style of the clothes looked good, the smell of sweat and the sticky feeling did make the three people 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.
They are not unfamiliar with the huge city Xiao Ran of Tokyo. After all, there is also such a city in 00 World. It is equally huge and has a large population. Even the branches of the city are basically the same. The only difference is that Tokyo in 00 World appears to be more advanced, while this city appears to be more ordinary and backward.
After finding a hotel to rest for a long time, the three people who put on clean clothes got together again early in the morning and began to determine the next action plan. El-Elf had collected quite a lot of information about the world, this country, and this city the night before, which also allowed El-Elf to learn more about the world in addition to the basic common sense instilled by Prometheus.
The three of them got together to discuss the next plan and also to have breakfast together. After El-Elf took a sip of the milk in front of him, he picked up the handheld computer next to him and said to Xiao Ran and Luo who were eating breakfast:
"About this world, I didn't find anything too special in the information I found yesterday. The main weapons in various countries today are Mobile Weapon called ARMSLAVE, or AS for short. According to the information and intelligence found, this 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 a big threat to us."
"This Mobile Weapon called AS completely falls within the scope of Real Robot's 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 world does not have any There is enough evidence to support the characteristics of Super Robot, which is the world of Real Robot in 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 the world of Super Robot."
"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 and cannot exist as camps. 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 the appearance of Coordinators in Luo's world. I have not found any technological systems worth collecting."
"Finally, after searching for 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 is not subject to the jurisdiction and restrictions of various countries. It is independent and has the best AS combat troops 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 righteous 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 there is an 80% chance that this Mithril organization will 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. Based on the initial behavior judgment of Prometheus, it is more likely to become our ally. You can pay more attention to the intelligence about Mithril."
"Understood." El-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 be careful not to expose yourself when you go. Haha, it's just you. There are electronic hardware and technologies beyond this world, so you don't have to worry about this."
"Amalgam?" El-Elf nodded and recorded the ranking in his computer. "I will pay attention to collecting surrounding information about this word, so what is our next plan?"
Xiao Ran tapped the table lightly with his fingers. The soft sound made Luo, who was just focusing on eating, put down his work, wiped his mouth and looked at Xiao Ran. He only heard Xiao Ran say, "There are only three of us on this mission. There are few people, the machine level is low and the number is lacking. It can be said that this is our weakest time, although unlike The Real Zone mission forces us to join a certain force, but even if we choose a national force to join, the support we can get at most is from those inferior Mobile Weapon called AS, which cannot help our strength much. On the contrary, it will easily expose ourselves to other participants, and it will also affect our Main Mission."
"In addition, we are executing the Super Zone mission that we don't understand at all. Even if there are not many machines in this world that can symbolize the existence of Super Robot, our opponent participants definitely have Super Robot Mecha in their hands. We also do not have much advantage in terms of combat power."
"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 don't have many advantages. It's just that With such a D-class mecha in hand, it is difficult to say whether other participants have C-level... No, it should be Fine-grade and other Super Robot Mecha, which will have a crushing force advantage over us."
El-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 D-class Gundam Astray rated with the Real Zone evaluation level will be very disadvantaged when facing participants with a small team size, but it is basically impossible to manufacture another machine body.
"So, we must hide ourselves better, at least as much as possible in front of other participants, especially those in the evil camp. In order to make up for our disadvantages, we can also find a suitable ally to cooperate and give some technology in exchange for what we need. Mithril is a very good collaborator."
El-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 will pose a threat to us, or our existence will be exposed after cooperation."
"Well, there is no need to worry about this for the time being. Just make contact after it is confirmed." Xiao Ran nodded and said, "The last question is about the whisperer, El-Elf. Now you can find a female high school student named Chidori Kaname in the whole of Tokyo."
As soon as Xiao Ran finished speaking, El-Elf started operating on his handheld computer. With El-Elf's ability and the advanced nature of the computer in his hand, he had hacked into the government agency's network as early as last night. After entering the keywords for analysis and search, he found what Xiao Ran needed in just ten seconds.
"Chidori Kaname, female high school student, there are a total of eight people who meet this condition in the entire Tokyo."
Xiao Ran waved to El-Elf, who directly handed the computer to Xiao Ran's hand. Although Xiao Ran was very good at operating this handheld computer, it was still difficult for him to flip left and right. After turning two pages, Xiao Ran found his target.
"Chidori Kaname, Chofu City Jindai High School, second grade, sixteen years old, blood type B, American nationality, divorced parents, excellent school evaluation, serves as vice president of the student union."
"That's her." Xiao Ran threw the handheld computer to El-Elf. Luo also moved his head closer to El-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."
Xiao Ran and Luo tended to protect rather than control when choosing tasks from the beginning. El-Elf was more inclined to control based on the difficulty of the task. However, after being in this team for so long, he was also infected by Xiao Ran and the others, so now he did not consider using what he once considered normal means to perform the task.
After taking a look at the blue-haired girl on the screen, El-Elf also asked, "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 time."
El-Elf thought for a while, if the laptop was left to search for the Whisperer, either new Whisperers could be discovered, making the Whisperers in their hands plural, or they could find the location of other participants to a certain extent, especially when all participants from the evil camp gathered together. As for how Xiao Ran was sure that this girl was the Whisperer, El-Elf might understand something but kept it in his heart.
After looking at Chidori Kaname's information, El-Elf also frowned and said, "The target person is still a student. There is a long distance between her home address and school. This will inevitably lead to her coming into contact with more people on her way to and from school. The environment will become very complicated. Under such circumstances, it will be very difficult to provide proper protection."
"So." Xiao Ran chuckled at El-Elf, "Then you, a seventeen-year-old boy, need to go to school with her, get out of school, or even go home together. You also know that it is basically impossible for us 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 El-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, El-Elf also showed a confused expression for an instant, but this expression only lasted for less than three seconds on El-Elf's face before returning to normal, and nodded calmly. "I understand, I will handle the next thing."
"By the way, I'm afraid the money we have is not enough to cover our expenses for a long time. In addition, we also need money to purchase the weapons and equipment you use during the protection process. I will leave these all to you." Xiao Ran Paipaibutt Station He stood up, and then said to El-Elf, "Luo and I will go to the nearby military base to see if there is a suitable opportunity to get something. I will leave it to you to join the school, rent a house, find money to buy weapons, etc."
