Me, Her, and the Ballistic Weaponry [Antique]

A small sound of metal bumping into each other, called a gatin. Xiao Mei's sensor captured it and instantly remembered what would happen the next moment. Footage of shooting iron activating a detonator tube, which frees the plasma trapped in a small capsule, and gas swelling thousands of times the size in the drugpod pushing the warhead forward. The warhead should eventually exceed the speed of sound, i.e. now it seemed an extremely momentary moment, between the sound of the action of the shooting iron and the sound of the explosion of the plasma.

And Xiaomei was sincerely surprised that she was able to do some thinking in such a short amount of time. She had that sentiment in mind that the running light that humans see at death seems to be something they experience, even if it's AI.

And then she thought about what happened after she was gone. There is no doubt that the warhead of the gun used to physically punch out Cyborg's flesh and armsuit, which is also said to be the best killer in the universe, will cause a fatal blow to Xiaomei's little sphere. I sincerely regretted that after my death, I hoped that Taro and Marr would find the Earth, and that I would no longer be able to see the moment.

"................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Xiaomei will pass away first."

I knew I would die before I was sure to be a voice, but Xiaomei issued a directive to his own voice circuit to make that sound.

Strangely, however, the command went through the circuit firmly and rocked the speaker as a voice.

"No, unfortunately, I guess the opportunity is still ahead. Besides, he's a natural, well, by chance, he's definitely gonna die first."

Phantom voice captured by the sensor. Xiaomei turned to her voice with her head still slightly confused.

"............ this is a surprise. I didn't think the post-mortem world really existed. The fact that Mr. Phantom is here means that Xiao Mei was good enough to take you on the road."

"Ha, sure, this is called Eden, but it wouldn't be a very nice place"

Phantom laughed so small that he put the gun in his hand to his waist.

"... was it just to threaten you"

Xiao Mei flashes the lamp. Besides, Phantom shrugged his shoulder and said, "Well, yeah," he blabbed.

"No matter how much, I don't point a gun with a bullet at my buddy. The chances of an outbreak are unlimited, but not zero."

"Really... Apparently Xiaomei made a big mistake. I'm sorry, Mr. Phantom."

"No, you don't have to apologize, Miss Xiaomei. This is the one who lured him in. I thought you'd be here."

Phantom waved in front of his face, saying so and poking Xiao Plum naughtily and lightly. Xiao Mei tried to avoid it as being unwilling, but it was a total waste of effort on someone with motion vision that avoided bullets.

"Do you mean Xiao Mei was put on board? Is this all supposed to happen?

"No, you didn't expect me to even open the cargo in self-defense. Honestly, my liver is cold. This is the beauty of it."

"Whatever it takes to poke me. But was it? So why don't you come over and ask me why, by the way?

"Is that why I lured you? Or why you threatened me? Or is that why you're here?

"Everything, Mr. Phantom."

"Well, I guess so"

Phantom, with a cheerful grin, sat down on a box-shaped device that was nearby. Xiaomei was gently placed next to him as he was when he was grabbed up by Phantom, who had reached out to him.

"I'll keep talking about why I threatened you. More than that, you haven't made any particular false statements. They're all serious."

Phantom put his feet together and said so with a cheek wand.

"The powerlessness of Xiao Mei, is it? And, oh, self-defense in that way was unexpected."

"Right. Besides, in case you were hostile, we needed to defend ourselves."

Pomped around his waist, Phantom appealed to him that he was bringing the bullet himself.

"You seemed right not to get short tempered. As a matter of fact, there was a suicide bomber as part of the plan."

Xiao Mei brightens the lamp and circles around on the spot. Besides, Phantom let him shrug his shoulders exaggerating, "Oh, I'm frightened. Then, turning a gentle grin on Xiaomei, he continued with a forethought:" What is wrong with you? "

"There's only one thing. It's a span of time."

Phantom slowly lifted his arm, pointing to it like a tube intertwined refrigerated sleep device.

"You're right I'm interested in that one. And you're right to do whatever it takes to get that secret. But, Miss Xiaomei. I don't want to get it right now."

"............ I see. I understand exactly what you're trying to say."

"Hmm, that's a good guess and helpful. I don't mind, but we don't mind, but that's what I mean. This is a plain way to wait until Taylor doesn't need it anymore. He's a hero, and even I'm as companion as this. I'm not going to do anything like eliminate it or hinder it."

"Is that why you are actively contributing to the company? I'm also convinced of the backup by the Narraza Club."

"Well, I've never crossed as fast as I can, and I'd have trouble letting you die. If he could achieve his purpose and do it on his own, he would no longer need that."

"Right. I think you're right, Mr. Phantom. But aren't you slightly interested?

"To Earth? Well, of course I do. You might still have the original kind of coffee beans, right? And there must be tons of antiques."

"Hehe, I hope so......... but Mr. Phantom. That's all, and I don't know why you bothered to lure Xiao Mei here."

The spinning plum stops perfectly facing Phantom. Phantom lifted her softly as he stared at Xiaoplum like that.

"I need your help."

Phantom stopped his leg as he walked over to the encapsulated frozen sleep device with Xiaoplum in his hand.

"And that's one of the reasons you came here. You said earlier that you came here for me and this device."

Voice colors such as not a question, but only giving the right answer. Xiaomei neither denied nor affirmed, but I didn't think this wise man was wrong.

"We need to figure out whether this device or facility is beneficial to Taylor or harmful. But you and Taylor are the only ones among us who know these details. That's why I came here, and I made sure you came. That's what you're here for, isn't it?

"…… Your answer, Mr. Phantom. But you could have expected Xiao Mei to come here soon."

"It's easy. You make it your top priority to protect Taylor. To be honest, I guess I didn't really have to threaten you with a gun. By the time you arrived here alone, you could only decide that the purpose was to guide him."

"Hmm. You don't look good from around you if you're too smart, do you? Mr. Phantom."

"Is that talking about yourself? Miss Xiaomei."

Xiaomei rolled down to the side of the frozen sleeping device, prompted by Phantom, when she shook herself loosely on the spot to protest. When she extended the cable to the device's terminal, she said, "I'll ask you if anything happens," and accessed the device's data bank.

"I don't mind if you leave it to me. From Coleman's lab in Enzio, the possible danger is assumed to some extent."

"Is it the physical danger caused by the plant's equipment and, above all, the pollution caused by the ghost type of wind? Sure, if you are, you can handle it."

"Both you and I are physically equipped with BISHOP controls. It's easy to turn it off. But not everyone."

"I control it directly with my brain............ I see. Mr. Phantom, you certainly seem right. As Xiaomei, however, we know a much more efficient and effective and peaceful method than in this form. I was hoping you could come up with a plan for me."

Xiao Mei, leaving the cable out, spun toward Phantom, blinking the lamp. Besides, Phantom continued, "Will you let me hear it," when he sounded intrigued.

"Of course, Mr. Phantom. The way it is is is simple. It would have been nice if you had told us what was going on in advance and requested our cooperation. Generally speaking, aren't we going to proceed in that way first?

Phantom gave a pompous look to Xiao Mei's point.

"............ I see. I didn't think about it."

One bad looking look. Xiaomei could not laugh because it was a sphere, but the circuit controlling the prosthetic body was well flushed with instructions to laugh.
