Chapter 277 You know too much

The elevator, with its mysterious switch activated, plummeted at an incredible speed, almost like a free fall, giving the illusion that it would pierce the earth's core and smash its passengers to pieces.

However, none of the four people present were ordinary. Even Tachibana Hibiki, whose fighting strength was only half that of a goose just a day ago, was able to stand steadily on the elevator floor after this extraordinary day, without moving or swaying, her waist and stance perfectly in harmony.

Such skill immediately impressed the two men from the second department.

"A girl who sings as she falls infinitely underground with an acceleration of 9.8."

It's obvious that no one could pick up on such an obscure joke.

The walls around the elevator are covered with colorful text.

Once it reached the bottom floor, the elevator speed returned to normal.

Not long after the two people, one adult and one child, stepped out of the elevator, they saw at least a dozen experienced, almost clone-like men in suits and sunglasses waiting at the door.

However, in Jagi's view, these agents were not as skilled as ordinary clones created through the underworld.

"Make way, make way, let me see Gungnir's new Symphogear warrior!"

One of the women, a mature woman dressed in a typical researcher's white lab coat, pushed her way out of the crowd and looked at the two unexpected figures with curious eyes.

Her brown hair was all piled up on her head, making her appear ten centimeters taller—a rather unusual hairstyle among all the people Jagi had ever seen.

Seemingly realizing something, the rather eccentric brown-haired woman, with her hands on her hips, introduced herself in a rather confident tone.

"I'm Sakurai Ryoko, known as 'the capable woman.' Nice to meet you!"

Although the statement is somewhat misleading, it was Sakurai Ryoko, the technical director of the Second Section of the Special Disaster Countermeasures Mobile Department, who developed the Symphogear system. Using the power of the relic fragments, she created the FG-style Resurrection Special Machine Suit Symphogear that girls could wear.

He is a genius researcher who advocates the "Sakurai Theory" and is also responsible for managing the relics transported to headquarters, the headquarters' defense system, and the health checks of Symphogear suitable candidates.

The person who noticed and judged the awakening fluctuations in Tachibana Hibiki was Sakurai Ryoko.

Even though there was already one Gungnir user who transformed using a fragment, she detected a second one at the same time. Moreover, based on the users' judgment, the girl named Tachibana Hibiki may have transformed after fusing with the broken fragment.

How could she resist her curiosity about something so strange?

As for the muscular guy next to him who looks just as strong as Genjuro, just ignore him...

and many more!

Sakurai Ryoko held up her phone, seemingly intending to take a photo with Tachibana Hibiki, but her gaze inevitably drifted to the person next to her.

Then, she abruptly stopped her "claws" from reaching for the girl, revealing a clear look of utter horror, as if she had seen something that could never possibly be there.

You've got it wrong, the one we should really focus on is him!

What on earth is this thing?!

Yes, she used the word "thing" to describe it, because in her eyes, no matter what it was, it couldn't be human.

Jagi's piercing eyes scrutinized her without any attempt to conceal his gaze, as if trying to see right through this woman who was weak and powerless, at most capable of serving coffee.

Is she a classic charlatan female scientist?
Sakurai Ryoko reminded him of the Four Sages, Muroto Sumire, whom he had met before. However, back then, he had only managed to give her a small shock of information about another world through an outsider's trick, but this time it was different.

He was certain that Sakurai Ryoko was incredulous at his very existence.

However, he didn't do much for the time being. He just shook his head and smiled, then strode straight towards her with the girl beside him. "Tachibana Hibiki."

"Jia Ji".

Everyone present was startled upon hearing the name. They had previously searched through national databases to find Tachibana Hibiki's identity information, even including his home address and all his information from childhood to adulthood, but they still couldn't find the identity of this person who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.

As for Kazanari Genjuro, he had forgotten to ask Hibiki's name because Hibiki was fast asleep.

"methyl?"

Sakurai Ryoko's expression returned to normal in an instant, but upon hearing those two words, she couldn't help but reveal a strange, suppressed laugh.

"Which methyl group is in methamphetamine?"

After so long, someone has finally complained.

Why would anyone call someone that?!
Some members in the group who had never even gone to school, or those who already knew his name, naturally wouldn't find it strange, nor would they specifically ask about it.

But those who could get into the second department were at least not illiterate, and their scientific literacy was quite high. Everyone nodded in unison, trying their best to suppress their laughter and hold back from shouting out, "Holy crap, ice!"

Endure, endure...

"Heh, heh heh... You guys, if you dare say my name again, yeah yeah yeah!!"

Xiang was desperately trying to hold back his master, who was so angry he was almost turning into a madman and his whole body was radiating fire, while signaling the people from the Second Division to run away quickly, or at least not laugh out loud in front of him.

The crowd scattered like birds and beasts.

The joyful atmosphere instantly dispelled the previous seriousness, and the scene became quite chaotic.

Although it's an organization that saves the world, that doesn't mean it's devoid of humanity.

After all, this is a mysterious boy band that gathers humanoid Getter Robo, humanoid Strike Freedom, and humanoid Majinhua Z. Most things are not difficult for them, so they are not like ordinary organizations that are full of bitterness and hatred every day.

By the time things finally calmed down, the girl Hibiki had already been taken away by the base staff for a medical examination.

Despite having great faith in the special medicine produced by Yagokoro Eirin, Jagi decided to be cautious and allowed them to examine the unexpectedly born wild Symphogear, so that the people in the Second Division could feel at ease.

Next, the adults had a meeting.

Before anything even began, without asking questions like "Who exactly are you? What is your purpose?", Jagi looked at Kazunari Genjuro, grinned, revealing his gleaming white teeth, and pointed to Sakurai Ryoko next to him, making no attempt to hide his thoughts.

"Would it be convenient for me to speak with her alone?"

Whenever he arrives in an unfamiliar place, his "Water Shadow Mind" will automatically activate. Through this technique, he can easily sense what everyone in the base thinks of him—some are wary, some are curious, and some are friendly, but overall, they are all in a normal direction.

The premise is that Sakurai Ryoko is excluded.

She was filled with unease and confusion.

Because some people may appear to be scientists, but secretly they're planning to blow up the moon.
