Gabriel swallowed the words'Don't call me'brother''.The reason why Vasak called Gabriel as a brother seems to be because he acknowledged his strength in one-on-one VR combat, but this kind of name makes Gabriel feel quite awkward no matter how many times he hears it.
For Gabriel, all friends and partners are just ambiguous relationships based on feelings. It is really impossible to understand the use of such things.
Compared to these so-called feelings, he wanted to experience it again... when he personally killed his childhood sweetheart Alicia as a child... the thrill of the soul he felt.
'When the technology to extract and preserve the soul is obtained in the future, it should be able to categorize all human emotions according to the color and shape of the "cloud of light."'
Gabriel thought this, and explained to the two in a tone that fits the captain's identity:
"Listen well, Vasak, Krida. I am quite satisfied with the team's performance so far. Because only Gary suffered a little bruise on our side and successfully captured the control room of the first target."
Hearing this, Vasago reluctantly let go of Creda's collar and put his hands on his waist.
"But brother, it doesn't make sense if the important control system is locked. The ultimate goal, called LightCubeCluster, is behind the iron wall, right?"
"That's why I said that now I am thinking of ways to break this wall."
"But the JSDF guys will not keep hiding, right? As long as the Aegis ship guarding this big tortoise sends professional combatants and rushes in, the eleven of us just add a tow bottle. There is really no chance of winning."
Vasago deserves to be promoted by Gabriel to the rank of deputy captain. As the former SAO's biggest and worst Red Guild president [poh] and a mercenary who has experienced many battles, he immediately found the key point.
Hearing what Vasak said, after thinking a little bit, Gabriel shrugged slightly.
"It seems that our customer and the upper level of JSDF have made some kind of transaction. The Aegis ship will not act until 24 hours."
"Call~"
Creda whistled softly.In the depths of the glasses like goggles, the pale gray eyes narrowed.
"In other words, this action is not just a robber...it's not right, it's better not to talk nonsense to protect yourself."
"I think so."
After nodding with a small smile, Gabriel looked around all the members of the team again.
"Okay, then confirm the situation. The current time is 14:47, Japan Standard Time. Forty minutes have passed after the breakthrough. We are currently in the OceanTurtle's main control room. Although the target facility was successfully captured, the RATH was not captured. Technician, the system here is also locked. The next goal is to occupy the sub-control room... Brick, can you cut off the pressure door of the partition?"
"It's a bit difficult. The door is made of the latest composite materials. The portable circular saw we brought can not cut it in 24 hours."
"Hans, can I use C4 to blow up the partition?"
"It is recommended not to do this. The storage room of the LightCubeCluster is behind the partition. There is no guarantee that the door will be blasted without damaging the contents."
Gabriel was silent for a moment, as if thinking about the next countermeasure.
"...The task we undertake is to find the only target from the huge light cube cluster, and then bring it back with the device. We already know the specific ID of the light cube. In other words, as long as the console can be manipulated, It’s easy to find the light cube and eject it. Now we’re sitting on the boat going home with a beer in one hand."
"Really, this weak four-eyed frog also boasted that he had invaded the Pentagon's server, and in the end he couldn't unlock such a small lock~"
Vasak left dissatisfied and began to attack Krida, obviously he was not satisfied with this companion.
"Oh, this really scared me to death. I was accused by a gamer who only used virtual guns."
In response to Vasak's mockery, Creda pushed his glasses and turned back recklessly.
Glancing at Vasak and Krida who were about to quarrel again, Gabriel strengthened his tone and said, "Do you want to come back empty-handed and be laughed at for not getting the bonus?"
"No!"
Everyone shouted together.
"Are you a waste of money even those ordinary technicians can't match?"
"No!"
"Then think quickly! It proves that the container around your neck has something other than oatmeal stuffed!"
Gabriel played the strong commander semi-automatically, while thinking secretly in his heart.
For Gabriel, as a soul seeker, starting with the real artificial intelligence Alice created by mankind for the first time and monopolizing Soultranslation technology are the biggest goals of this trip.He had already made a plan first, and after starting with the two, he would use the nerve gas that was sneaked in to dispose of everyone in the team, and then fled to Australia first.
But before advancing to that stage, the NSA commissioned operations and Gabriel's goals can be said to be completely consistent.Now that the system operation of the administrator is blocked, I must find a way to get Alice's Lightcube by other means.
Alice... "ALICE".
It was the spy inside RATH who communicated this code name to Gabriel's client NSA.
The client did not provide the spy’s personal information.But considering that the motive for betraying the organization and leaking secrets is huge amounts of money, you can know that in this case, the other party will not take the risk of exposure.
In other words, the spies behind the pressure barrier cannot be expected to provide any assistance.It must rely on current intelligence and equipment to achieve the goal in a very short time.
Although Gabriel can completely control anxiety and restlessness and other emotions, the time limit that will come about twenty-three hours later does give him a certain sense of oppression..
After the waiting time is over, the senior government officials must let the Aegis ship launch operations for the subsequent media response.Once fully armed combatants invade, the assault squad led by Gabriel can't match the opponent in number and equipment, and will definitely be wiped out immediately.
Even if it really turns into this worst ending, I plan to leave alone in a small submarine.However, without starting with the most important light cube, the journey of searching for the human soul will have an irreparable setback.
385. Gabriel's Plan
Gabriel has also made a very careful plan for his life after completing this battle.
First escape to Australia with Alice, then hide the light cube and STL technology in the villa on Sovereign Island.Then fly back to San Diego and report to the NSA that the battle has failed.After the limelight passed, I returned to Australia, set up the STL machine in the vast basement of the villa, and constructed an imaginary world according to my preferences.
At the beginning of the world, the only inhabitants should be Alice and Gabriel.But that is too lonely.For the purpose of studying the soul, more materials must be added.
Look for young and energetic soul holders near Sydney and Cairns. After kidnapping them, use STL to extract their souls and dispose of their useless bodies.In the future, I even want to cross the ocean and expedition to the birthplace of the United States and Japan, the birthplace of complete stealth technology.
Gabriel is deeply fascinated by the unique spirituality of Japanese VR game players.Although not everyone, but some of the players' behavior is as if there is more real than the real world, and they don't hesitate to show the truest feelings.
Whenever I think of the sniper girl I met in GunGaleOnline, I feel that this always so strong desire is moving.
This is probably related to the "RealVirtualWorld" that only existed in that country for two years.Those young people have all experienced death games that were hacked by developers and endowed with real life and death attributes.Compared with people who have no such experience, the souls of those "survivors" have characteristics suitable for activities in the imaginary world.
If possible, I hope to get it as much as possible-and it is the soul of the top players called [Raiders Group].Although I don't know if the sniper girl is a Raiders group, of course I want to get her soul.The light cubes enclosed in these souls will surely emit a dazzling light than any gemstone.
The best part is that the souls extracted from humans and sealed in the Light Cube can be copied or stored freely.At that time, the damaged or twisted soul can be easily restored and transformed into the shape Gabriel likes.It's like carving a rough stone to make it emit top light.
At that stage, Gabriel's long journey can draw a big circle and return to the origin.
He will return to his childhood, under the big trees in the forest, the moment when he saw Alicia Klingemann's soul radiate beautifully.
Although it was only a short-term imagination, Gabriel had already closed his eyes, and his back began to vibrate slightly.
When he opened his eyes again, his ice-like calm thinking ability had been restored.
Gabriel stepped on his boots and began to move, and came to the back of Creda, whose fingers were flying at high speed on the keyboard.
