Chapter 31: The Ghost Spaceship
"It seems that my guess is really correct~" In the super-guts command room, Nakajima told everyone how his ideas were correct with excitement on his face. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Okay, I said Nakajima. Aren't you so happy that you've been blinded? Asuka said to Nakajima with an impatient expression.
"That's it, my ears are almost calloused...... "Aoba also echoed as he plucked his ears.
"How can you say that, this is only confirmed through my research! You ......" Just as Nakajima was about to refute, the command room suddenly received a message.
"Didi ......"
"This is super-guts! Be...... Be...... I know. Mai turned around and said with a flustered face after connecting the communication, "Captain, I just received a report that a spaceship has appeared in Area F!" And after the spaceship passed by, it was found that all the citizens had lost their lives and fell to the ground......"
"What!"
Captain Hibi was taken aback, and then ordered, "Super-guts are dispatched immediately!" ”
"Understood!"
……
"If there are citizens on the route of the spaceship, the police department will be responsible for evacuation!" Captain Hibi's voice reached the ears of every member of the team on the Victory Condor through the communicator.
"I've contacted in various ways, but the spacecraft hasn't responded." After another failed call, Mai reported to Captain Kibi.
"Investigate the inside of the spacecraft with surveillance satellites!" Captain Hibi thought for a moment, and then made a decision.
[According to the reporter's report, the spacecraft is now passing over the city of Daejeon.] 】
From the television, the route of the spacecraft that has been tracked by reporters was heard.
[At around nine o'clock this morning, a spaceship that suddenly appeared in the Nojima area emitted light that was extremely harmful to the human body. And is currently heading northeast! It is now passing over the sky of Ota City. In addition, all the people who have been illuminated by the light emitted by this spaceship have fallen into a state of suspended animation for unknown reasons! Repeat ......]
"Which Ota City?"
A man was woken up by the sound of the TV in a daze, then got up and went to the balcony. As soon as he stretched his waist, he noticed a white-purple light enveloping him. The light cleared, and the man, his exposed skin, was dark black and fell to the ground as if he had lost all vital activity.
"Captain, the surveillance satellite has been inspected with new X-rays, and there are no signs of life inside the spacecraft." Mai will report to Captain Hibi with the results of the investigation transmitted back by the surveillance satellite.
"Where did this spaceship come from......
Captain Hibi pondered for a moment, then ordered into the communicator, "No way. Koda, go destroy it! ”
"Understood!" As Captain Kibi's right-hand man, Koda faithfully carried out Captain Kibi's order, "Formation-3!" Start attacking the spaceship! ”
The Victory Condor then separated into the Alpha, piloted by Aoba and Asuka; The Beta on which Koda, Nakajima, and Kami rode and the Gamma piloted by Ryo. The three planes launched laser attacks on the spacecraft in batches without interruption.
"It worked! Or am I amazing! Seeing that the laser he fired first broke through the outer wall of the spaceship, Asuka stretched out his hands and cheered excitedly.
"Bang!"
"What are you doing, Team Aoba. It hurts, do you know? Asuka rubbed his head that had been slapped by Aoba and complained to Aoba with a depressed expression.
"Why are you so excited, you haven't shot it down completely!" Aoba, who was piloting the Alpha, said to Asuka who was sitting in the weapon control seat "seriously": "Sit tight! ”
After that, Aoba quickly made a 360° rotation of the Alpha while the bird was still complaining, and the unexpected bird tragically crashed into the glass of the cockpit.
"Uhhh
"Cut~ What a pair of living treasures~" Liang on the Gamma looked at the suddenly spinning Alpha and the cursing sound of the bird coming from the helmet, and shook his head helplessly.
"You two, stop. Otherwise, I'll report to the captain when I get back! Koda opened the comm and warned.
"Got it, Team Koda!" Aoba hurriedly drove the Alpha and followed closely behind the Beta.
"It was just an accident just now, Koda, you say yes." Asuka said to Koda with a smile while rubbing his head.
At this moment, a certain sound came from the spaceship that had been destroyed by the successive attacks of the three machines, which had several large holes.
"Hear me...... What's the sound? Nakajima asked his teammates on the same plane.
"The new x-rays can't confirm what's inside. Check it out with the energy reaction! Kota turned to Nakajima and said.
"Yes!"
A pale blue cylindrical light was emitted from the front of the Beta, shining straight on the spacecraft. Moments later, the results of the survey came back.
"Huh?! This ......" Nakajima looked at the results of the investigation in surprise and said to Koda: "Koda-kun, please stop the attack immediately!" ”
"It's ...... What's wrong?! Asuka attacking cool Asuka asked Okinajima of dissatisfaction. Although he didn't understand why, Aoba had to fly the Alpha and the other two fighters to constantly circle the spaceship.
"Captain, according to the detection: inside the spaceship, there is human plasma energy!" Nakajima sent this startling result back to the super-guts command room.
"The light emitted by the spacecraft is a special light formed by extracting and absorbing the plasma energy of humans! That is to say, the person who was illuminated by the light of that spaceship is not dead! It's just that consciousness is sealed in the spaceship! Nakajima went on to tell the astonishing news.
"Huh?! That is, in a spaceship...... There is human consciousness?! Liang said in surprise.
"So far, the number of victims is basically the same as the amount of plasma energy inside the spacecraft!" Mai's words also confirmed Nakajima's conclusion.
"Come back right away, let's take a long-term view!" Captain Hibi thought about it and had to order.
"Understood!"
"Understood!"
The Alpha and Beta then prepared to return, but Gamma remained where they were.
"Liang, what's wrong?" Koda asked suspiciously.
"There's a kid down there in the direction of the spaceship!"
"What did you say?!"
"I'm going to save him!" After Liang finished speaking, he drove the Gamma and landed quickly.
"Al, it's okay. Is it better? The child removed the chain from a puppy and patted the puppy on the head in worry.
"Let's go!"
Liang picked up the child and tried to get away from the spaceship that was about to come here, but at this moment, a white-purple light shone out from the milky white semicircle below the spaceship, and shot straight in the direction of Liang.
"Huh?!"
The child who was pushed away by Ryoshi looked at Ryo, who was slowly falling, and saw that Ryo's skin had also turned the same dark black as those who had been sucked out of consciousness......
Koda, Aoba, and Asuka hurried over, but they could only see the child trembling with fear and Ryoshi who fell to the ground.
"Ah~ Is it late......" Koda muttered to himself.
"Good? Good! Good! Aoba couldn't stop shaking Liang, but Liang didn't respond at all.
After leaving the city, the spacecraft slowly landed in a valley.
"Does it want the Earth to live?" Kaishi looked at the spaceship displayed on the screen in the command room, and couldn't help but speak.
"But why does the spaceship suck away human consciousness?" Mai asked suspiciously.
"Perhaps, the spacecraft has its own consciousness...... "Koda guessed, "Could it be that human consciousness is used as fuel for flight?" ”
"Since consciousness can be taken away, there must be a way to get it back!" Asuka said as he looked at Aoba, who was staying in front of the monitor and looking at Liang and didn't know what he was thinking.
"Let me go!" When Aoba heard Asuka's words, he turned to everyone and said, "I beg everyone, just let me go and retrieve the consciousness of Liang and the person who was sucked away!" With that, Aoba wanted to go to the spaceship.
"And me! And me! Asuka shouted, "I came up with this idea, so I'm going too!" ”
"Wait a minute!"
Captain Hibi stopped him with a loud voice: "You two guys, think about it with your head!" Consciousness has been taken away before entering the ghost ship, and we are not going to find a way to save you? ”
After listening to Captain Kibi's words, Aoba turned around and couldn't help but raise her voice to Captain Kibi and asked, "Then what do you say should I do?" ”
"Wait!" Captain Kibi stretched out his hand to stop Asuka, who also wanted to speak, and then connected to Nakajima's communication.
"Nakajima, how's your situation over there?"
"Actually, there is a way to sneak into the spaceship. Look! Nakajima smiled and picked up the two devices in his hand.
"Look at this! This is a device that emits coarse particles in a shield with the same density as the plasma coarse particles of the human body, and if you carry it, you will not lose consciousness even if you are directly illuminated by the light of the spaceship. ”
"Good!" Captain Hibi smiled and applauded.
"Captain!"
"Captain!"
Looking at Aoba and Asuka who were calling at him in unison, Captain Kibi smiled and said, "This task is up to the two of you to complete!" However, it's all about your own safety! ”
"Understood!"
"Understood!"
Aoba and Asuka once again gave their thumbs out at the same time to make the super-guts gesture, and then ran towards Nakajima's laboratory.
"Captain, why would you agree to let the two of them go? They ......" Koda looked at the two who left with some uneasiness, and was about to continue, but was interrupted by Captain Kibi.
"I remember telling you before that Aoba and Asuka are two people who are very similar in a way. The same refusal to admit defeat, the same impulse. However, if you put two people with the same impulsive personality together, then one of them will do its best to prevent the other person from making an impulsive decision. This is called 'same-sex repulsion'! ”
"Captain...... Clever! Koda and Kari's admired Captain Oki gave a thumbs up.
"Hahahaha......"
