Chapter 30: The Counter Force Operator’s First Mission
Coming to the living room and sitting on the sofa, Lux operates his system.
The condensed fantasy crystal is also taken out, and then, the character panel appears.
It's Artoria's panel.
[Operator: Artoria-Pendragon]
[Gender: Female]
[Age: 16]
[Template: King Arthur (Fate)]
[Level: 10]
[Experience: 0/1900]
[Mood: 98/100]
[Health: 100/100]
[Magic Power: 97%]
[Current Status: Standby]
Above is Artoria's panel. Needless to say, level and experience are common things that can be understood at a glance.
As for the mood and health that follow, it can be understood as a combination of the character's strength and vitality.
In terms of magic power, it's how much energy is currently available. The template held by Artoria is her own, and the power used is the same as the Servant version of King Arthur.
In other words, different modules use different amounts of energy.
After all, people in the real world are not games. Even if Lux makes it like a game, it cannot be completely digitized, so this method is used to know the operator's situation.
At the same time, there is also a body icon on the personal panel. If there is a problem in any part of the body, it will be directly marked clearly.
Lux expresses his satisfaction with Artoria's condition, then pretends to be serious: "Lia, you have a big mission to eliminate mystery and save the world, how can you be so lazy? So, fight! Start your extraordinary journey tonight!"
"Start by defeating mystery!"
❀❀❀
In a special room of the Supernatural Disaster Countermeasures Department, Artoria is sleeping soundly.
But suddenly, she feels something and suddenly opens her eyes.
Then, her face shows an expression of astonishment, then turns into doubt, and finally shows a subtle expression of accepting this strange situation.
Because, in front, a transparent panel appears, and a stream of text is displayed there.
[Newcomer Mission: Eliminate Mystery]
[Mission Description: As a contractor of the planet's will and operator of Counter Force, you are obligated to eliminate mystery. And remember, you are now just a trainee operator, this mission is your beginner mission]
[Mission Objective: Eliminate the mystery at the designated location]
[Note: You can use secular forces to help you complete the mission. There are no mandatory requirements for the completion method, just do it according to your ideas]
This text is very simple and easy to understand. There are no tricks, just asking Artoria to do a beginner mission.
As for the Contractor of the Planet's Will and Counter Force mentioned in it, Artoria is not surprised at all.
Because, when receiving King Arthur's legacy, Artoria received a message simultaneously.
That is, King Arthur signed a contract with a mysterious force called Counter Force. This force is an agent of the Planet's Will and has a very high background.
The content of the contract between King Arthur and this force is that when the planet faces an unbearable threat, King Arthur will join the rescue operation as an operator of Counter Force and make efforts to save the world.
As an agent of the Planet's Will, signing a contract with Counter Force is actually the same as signing a contract with the Planet's Will, so the one directly mentioned above is the Contractor of the Planet's Will.
This information is very superficial, that is, a kind of literal intelligence. As for the internal situation, who is there, and how long it has been there, it is not mentioned.
However, Artoria is not a fool, she naturally understands that the existence that can act as an agent of the Planet's Will and can sign a contract with King Arthur must have existed forever.
Obviously, there must be more than one person who has signed a contract with the Planet's Will.
Therefore, Artoria, who has just obtained power, is carrying out a beginner mission as a newcomer.
But there is another problem here, which is that if Counter Force has existed for so long and is so powerful, why has mystery been revived and there has never been any news of a transcendent creature appearing and solving the mystery?
Until the last mystery attack on the headquarters of the Supernatural Disaster Countermeasures Department, Counter Force never appeared, and there were no supernatural beings on the human side either.
The time when humans truly defeated and eliminated mystery with extraordinary power was when King Arthur, the remaining will of Artoria from her previous life, appeared.
So, what has Counter Force been doing all this time?
Is it because of the demands of the Will of the World that Counter Force cannot take action?
Or is there actually something wrong with Counter Force?
Although it's extraordinary, but thinking about the worst-case scenario, Counter Force, as the guardian force of the planet, has not taken action, there is a high probability that something has indeed happened.
"If I can meet other members of Counter Force, this conjecture can be confirmed…"
Artoria is a little disturbed by this, but she doesn't think about it.
Now that the mission has arrived, let's do it. Artoria has long been aware of this and has been trained by the professional guidance of King Arthur, she doesn't lack the courage and strength to face mystery directly.
At most, she is full of doubts and curiosity about Counter Force. At the same time, she also feels that the way this mission is released is quite novel and completely unexpected gameplay.
However, its style is in line with the light screen, what is seen are things that belong to the Will of the Planet.
The former is easier to say, just think of this Will of the Planet as a formless god.
If it's the latter, then the amount of information hidden in it is enormous.
❀❀❀
After taking off her pajamas and putting on ordinary clothes, Artoria presses the communication button.
Immediately, the door rings and opens, revealing a beautiful female staff member. Someone else is specially arranged to interact with her.
Currently, as long as it can be done directly, that person will fulfill her requirements. If she cannot fulfill the requirements, she will immediately give feedback to her superiors.
Actually, this is not a civilian, but an elite investigator and one of the aces in the Supernatural Disaster Countermeasures Department. She has rich experience in handling secrets. Because of Artoria's special status, she is assigned as an assistant.
This person is clearly a mixed-race person with rare purple hair. She has delicate facial features like an Asian and a tall figure like a Western person from the countermeasures room, truly highlighting her figure.
There is also a mole under her right eye, which gives her a mysterious charm.
Seeing her, Artoria says politely but seriously: "Senjougahara-san, I have something urgent and I need to travel. Please tell Chief Murata about this."
The investigator named Senjougahara Higai is slightly surprised: "Now?"
Artoria nods: "Although the matter is sudden, you have to go. This involves mystery!"
As soon as she hears that it has something to do with mystery, Senjougahara immediately nods: "I understand, I will report it immediately."
Although she has many doubts, as an elite investigator, she will not ask more questions that she doesn't need to know. She just needs to do her job well.
Even though it's now three in the morning, Murata still responds quickly and immediately issues an order – the emergency operation of the Supernatural Disaster Countermeasures Department begins, and the Nine-Tailed Fox Team with transport aircraft is ready, and they must help Artoria reach the mystery location as soon as possible.
There is only one goal, to help Artoria Pendragon, the special advisor of the Supernatural Disaster Countermeasures Department, to eliminate mystery!
Now Artoria is now a special consultant at the Supernatural Disaster Countermeasures Department, and this is something she proposed in the afternoon, and it's also part of the conversation between her and Murata in the conference room!
