Old Hunter of Tomorrow’s Ark

Gao Qi looked at the little fire dragon who was bluffing in front of him, trying to scare him, and showed a kind smile.

"Ha, you can't do this, look at me."

Extending his right hand, Gao Qi clenched his fist and activated his rune ability.

huh—

The raging flames rose up, instantly illuminating the dark storage room exceptionally bright.

"...Wow wow, you can also use Originium Skills, just like me? Well, me, I can too!"

Looking at the flaming flames on Gao Qi's arm, Xiao Huolong's eyes instantly lit up, and then he began to work hard, trying to make the extremely pitiful little flame in his hand a little bigger.

Although she didn't know who the man in front of her was at all, Ifrit subconsciously felt that the other party was not a bad guy like those white coats.

"Well……"

However, after holding it for a long time, Ifrit didn't let the flames in his hands burn vigorously, but instead extinguished the flames a little tiredly, and sat on the floor-sweeping robot beside him with a thud.

"Forget it, forget it, don't compare it, it's boring, it's boring - who the **** are you, I've never seen you before? Didn't you come to catch me?"

Looking at the man who had also extinguished the flame and looked at him with a smile, Ifrit became more curious.

In Rhine Life, everyone is in a hurry, and their expressions are either indifferent or serious. There are really few people like this guy who always smiles.

"Of course not. I'm here to apply for a job in the Rhode Island Defense Division. I'm just curious about what you're doing—I'm looking for Director Seria."

Trying to pretend to be unfamiliar with Xiao Huolong, Gao Qi told the truth about his identity - he didn't lie to children.

And hearing that familiar name, the thin tail behind Ifrit turned even more quickly.

"Serea? I know her very well. I'm just going to find her. Take me there. If you have something to say, I can tell you something—don't let anyone find out, just call me Ifrit. "

She stretched out her little hand and patted Gao Qi's chest. From the beginning to the end, Little Fire Dragon did not show her irritable and somewhat childish character in the game.

On the contrary, in front of Gao Qi, this little fire dragon seemed extraordinarily rational. He was wary of strangers, had a small heart for comparison, and finally had the simplicity of believing in others easily.

The ore disease is not that serious, nor is it as tall as Lie's, and the Originium skill is not that strong.

In the final analysis... In Gao Qi's view, Ifrit in front of him is just an ordinary little girl.

[The Flame Demon Project is not over yet! Or rather, it hasn't failed yet! 】

Gao Qi nodded. He knew that he came to Rhine Life before the experimental accident happened.

And the little girl in front of her may be anxious about her goal, and is closely related to the incident that Kelsey wants to investigate.

Then...you can't just sit back and watch!

"Ifrit... What a good name, my name is Gao Qi, you will hear this name often in the future - do you want to learn Originium skills? As good as I was just now?"

Extending his right hand to Little Fire Dragon, Gao Qi smiled slightly.

"...Think! As long as I get stronger, Homer doesn't have to worry about me so much. You only came here now, right? I came here much earlier than you—then you are mine, um, little brother. !have what"

Patting her undeveloped breast, Ifrit didn't know her identity as an experimental subject. From her point of view, she, like Gao Qi in front of her, were both employees of Rhine Life.

"Yes, Boss Ifrit, then let's go to Sai Ma, let's go to Seliya, will you lead the way?"

Gao Qi, on the other hand, didn't care about Ifrit's behavior of accepting himself as a younger brother - children, who doesn't like to play house.

However, hearing this sentence, Ifrit was stunned for a moment, blushed, and pretended to look around the scenery a little embarrassedly.

"I, this, this trivial matter, as a younger brother, you shouldn't need me to lead the way, right?"

Obviously, Ifrit didn't know the location of Serea's office.

In response, Gao Qi could only sigh and gently held Ifrit's little hand.

"Let's go."

"Well, let's go, this time we must give Seria a surprise!"

He knew that he seemed to have more things to do in his life in Rhine.

But now...

Caught this cute little girl, how can I not see my future parents!

22. The rock-solid Ms. Serea.

Rhine Life, in the Office of the Defense Division.

"The inspection form, ready, ask questions, there are five items in total, and inspection materials... Okay, it's all sorted out, no problem."

On the simple and clean small table, a young white-haired Vayvan woman, wearing a Rhein Life protective uniform, was sitting on an office chair, beating on the computer in front of her.

"...It's like this every year. The defense department is not a security guard. It's obviously on the same level as other departments. Why are there always so few people who come to sign up in the end."

Sighing, the young Vayvan felt a little down.

"Is it really my problem? No, we should have high standards and strict requirements. Experimental work is no child's play."

In front of her, there was only a resume pitifully there.

However, soon, the young Vayvan regained his energy, straightened his body, and started the work at hand with a serious expression.

"For the best, at least today's schedule won't be delayed by redundant offices. Let me see, the area where security inspections are scheduled..."

Seliya, the director of the defense department, leads the work of the defense department.

As a child born in the Huayfan Union, Seria came to Colombia with her parents very early.

Although the Vaifans are all strong people, they are stronger than the Sarkaz people in terms of strength, and most of the clansmen are warriors and craftsmen, but Seria has paid special attention to book learning since she was a child.

Seliya, who is excellent in both character and study, obtained a double doctorate in life science and microbiology, and got an offer from Rhine Life before graduation.

However, after entering Rhine Life, Serea did not choose a 100% scientific research post, but joined the defense department.

This department is not a security guard, but it is responsible for part of the security work of Rhine Life.

The researchers of the Defense Department will discuss and study the safety of all Rheinland Life Research Groups, to ensure that there will be no accidents during the experimental process, to ensure that the probability of danger is minimized, and to develop some experimental equipment with protective properties.

It is precisely because of this that the Defense Division was hated and ostracized by researchers from other divisions because it prevented the implementation of many dangerous projects.

But even so, Seria still chose the Defense Division.

In college, a classmate in the dissertation group rejected Seria's dissuasion because of recklessly adopting an Originium compound ratio that had never been used before, resulting in a violent explosion.

This serious experimental accident resulted in the death of three of Seria's classmates, and more than a dozen graduate students in the same building also suffered from ore disease due to radiation.

Although Colombia claims that there is no ore disease discrimination, and there is no clear separation law, everyone knows that as long as they have ore disease, no matter how talented people are, the future will be bleak.

Seliya knows that the pursuit of truth is important, but once the process of search goes out of control and exceeds the safety limit that human beings can grasp, then only disaster and pain will be brought to human beings.

At that time, let alone progress and innovation, it would be good to have fewer casualties.

Since then, Seria has determined her ambition, not to pursue the truth, but to prevent too radical and unsafe subjects and experiments from appearing.

She's going to be a wall to stop science from sliding into the abyss of madness

So, in just a few years, because several major experimental accidents were avoided, and there were no casualties among the experimental personnel during the period of Rhine Life, Seria was quickly promoted to the director of the Defense Department.

In the eyes of researchers from other departments, even diamonds are more flexible than this stubborn Waifan.

She will strictly make the experimenters abide by the experimental safety regulations. Even if a little safety hazard is detected, the entire laboratory will be shut down for several days for rectification.

This made the geniuses who were accustomed to living in the laboratory and saving all their time to search for the truth complained and gave this powerful, intelligent and stubborn woman various nicknames-Diamond, Guyuanyan, Different Iron Group, how hard it is.

However, Seria doesn't crave the understanding of others either, she knows she's doing the right thing.

It's just...

"Ha, Ifrit, I hope they can find it soon..."

No matter how hard a diamond is, there is also a soft part in the heart.

A few months ago, Director Parvis of the Structure Section launched a military-industrial experimental program called "Project Balrog", and the client was the Colombian military.

For this largest business, the Chief Executive personally instructed the Defense Division and the Structure Division to participate in the plan.

And in this plan, Seria met a little girl from Sarkaz, and a young researcher Leboli...

From her waist, Seria picked up a brown feather.

After special treatment, this soft feather has become a good decoration. It was not taken from a feathered beast or a bird, but... a person.

"Ifrit, Homer..."

Thinking of the fierce quarrel before, even the rock-solid Seria couldn't help but sigh.

"Say, Seria?!"

Suddenly, in Seria's ear, a familiar voice with a little joy was heard.

In the past, Seria could only hear this hoarse but energetic voice when she went to the special ward.

Raising her head, Seria's orange eyes widened.

At the gate, a little blond girl in a hospital gown rushed over with a happy expression, and behind him, a tall black-haired man was watching everything with a smile.

With a thud, Ifrit, who was barefoot, slammed straight into Seria's arms, making a somewhat hard collision sound.

This is not because Seliya is a steel plate, her figure is extraordinarily plump, but her uniform "Fortified City" has a protective module of Rhine life profession, which can resist bullets and spells.

"Ifrit - why did you come here? Where's Homer?"

Although it was a little unexpected, Seria calmed down quickly, opened her arms, and embraced this small, extremely thin figure into her arms.

"Of course I came to see you! Hey, Hemo was experimenting very late yesterday, and he just went to bed. As soon as she was away, the rest of the white coats started arguing, and they all ended up arguing outside the door - I just went straight to Get out!"

Ifrit threw himself into Seria's arms, smiling brightly, as if he was very excited about this successful adventure.

On the other hand, Seria's eyes seemed a little sighed after hearing Ifrit's words.

After the director of the structure department died in Sargon, has the internal struggle of the structure department reached this point?

Not knowing that a man who gave Parvis a knife at the end was standing in front of her, Seria sighed lightly.

"Okay, Ifrit, this is not something to be commended. Your body is still very weak. I have to send you back before things get bigger."

Reaching out her seemingly slender arm that could actually smash metal, Seria patted Ifrit's small head, picked up the landline phone on the table, and dialed the person in charge of finding Ifrit. Subordinates' phones.

Although the experimental safety of the Balrog Project still needs to be verified, at least for now, Ifrit, a small infected person, is indeed receiving the highest quality treatment.

"Um... it's old-fashioned, I just want to play with you a little longer, Seria."

She pouted a little unhappily, but Ifrit was not surprised by Seria's reaction.

From Ifrit's point of view, this man with the same eye color and horns as himself has been caring about him all the time.

Every time a bastard's lab coat wants to cut herself with a knife, or inject some strange liquid with a syringe, she will immediately come forward until it can be said that she has always been protecting her.

Although Seria is always so prudent in her actions, even if she says nice things, she can't change her mind, but Ifrit still likes her very much!

"Look, look, I also found him, that, what's his name--yes, Gao Qi! Come in, with me here, you will definitely pass the interview!"

Reaching out to the door, As if offering a treasure, Ifrit introduced the person she just met to Seria.

"He can use fire just like me, and his spells are better than me, Seria, let him be my teacher!"

Ifrit rubbed her face on Seria's chest coquettishly, and Gao Qi finally walked into the room at the right time and gently closed the door.

"Hello, Director Seria, this little lady is looking for you, so I brought her along on the way."

Seeing the intimacy between Ifrit and Seria, Gao Qi also had a hint of envy.

——Of course it's not that I envy the facial cleanser, it's family love, family love! He was woken up a lot by Skadi washing his face.

It seems that even six years ago, Rhine's family of three were closer than imagined.

"Thank you, Mr. Gaoch, please wait a moment, I will immediately notify the others to bring back Ifrit."

With a calm expression, she nodded at Gao Qi, and Serea answered the phone.

"It's okay to let the child sit in, Director Seria, Miss Ifrit wants to stay with you for a while... I don't mind being that excuse."

Looking at Ifrit with a sad face, Gao Qi winked at her.

"That's right, I'll be good! Let me stay a little longer, Seria! Please!"

Somewhat gratefully nodded to Gao Qi, Little Fire Dragon, no, Ifrit, who is now a little far from the title of Little Fire Dragon, continued to act coquettishly at Seria with a more violent offensive.

"...Ifrit is in my office, and I'll send her back to the Structural Section in a moment to warn the infighting idiots that if they can't protect Ifrit, I'll take over the role —Ifrit, sit down and don’t make a sound.”

Hanging up the phone, Seria easily lifted Ifrit with both hands, put it on the chair beside her, turned her head, and looked seriously at the man who had been smiling at her.
