Chapter 24: The Dragon

"Big Event! The Evil Sea Monster attacks the Sasebo Outer Naval Port at night! 》

"JMSDF's biggest loss ever came from a sea monster?" 》

"The U.S. government calls the sea monster the wealth of all mankind and has an obligation to keep its danger to a minimum. 》

The biggest battle loss of the Maritime Self-Defense Force since its establishment came from an animal, and when the news spread, some people laughed at it, and some people began to panic.

The island nation was forced to publish all the information about the sea monster so far, detailing various data about the sea monster, including the most important reason why they lost so much, the sea monster was too fast, even faster than a torpedo. The usual speed is 90~100 knots, and the short range of instant burst can reach 200 knots!

This is simply an undersea plane, this kind of sea monster that does not spare hands, is fast, big and aggressive, it is really a disaster.

The appearance of the dragon detonated the Celestial Empire, and the island country released the photos of the dragon wreaking havoc in the military port, including the satellites in space also saw the dragon wreaking, coupled with the intelligence detected by the research ship, the authenticity of the existence of the dragon reached 100 percent, this is the largest creature ever seen by mankind, and the length of the body is about to catch up with the aircraft carrier.

In particular, when the researchers examined the wreckage of the destroyed ship, they did not find any material left behind by the horn, that is, the horn did not wear out in the slightest after hitting the iron armor.

For a while, the Celestial Empire also began to frantically discuss the news of Jiaolong, with photos from various angles released by the government of the island country, which are both clear and conspicuous, and a photo looks like the special effects of a Hollywood blockbuster, but many experts have come forward to confirm that these are true.

"The dragons are all out...... Is Shenlong still far away? ”

"I just can't believe it! In previous years, there were sea monsters, water monsters or something, but they were all chasing the wind and shadows, but this time it was good, and they directly fought with the warship! ”

"It's terrifying, it's faster than all the ships, who can catch it?"

"What if you come to us?"

The people of the Celestial Empire love and fear Jiaolong, and the reason for the sudden attack on the military port is a mystery, the two countries are so close, who knows if it will cause trouble in the Celestial Empire.

But most of the people are still surprised by the appearance of the dragon, after all, it is a dragon species! The dragon is the totem of the Celestial Empire for thousands of years, is the most important cultural symbol, and now the dragon is real, vividly displayed in front of the world, doesn't it mean that the legend of the dragon is also true?

If the dragon can really be discovered, it will be a great boost to the self-confidence of the entire nation, and the national cohesion will be unprecedentedly huge.

In newspapers, on the Internet, and on TV programs, there is talk about Jiaolong everywhere, and people try every means to tap the value of Jiaolong's topic, and the public's extreme desire to know more about Jiaolong has greatly stimulated people's curiosity and desire for knowledge.

Even many people of the Celestial Empire rushed to the island country with the intention of pilgrimage, if they could see the dragon with their own eyes, it would be a lifetime of showing off.

The media of the Celestial Empire have long been unable to sit still, and the media all over the world have gone crazy, whether it is regarded as a sea monster or a dragon species, this is undoubtedly the biggest news in the world this year, and the most topical existence.

Nagasaki, including nearby cities, was flooded with people, and visitors from all over the world flocked to Nagasaki, which greatly stimulated the local economy, and the island nation even stationed the Self-Defense Forces to maintain law and order in order to maintain its international image.

On the second day of the Sasebo incident, the fourth day of the Iwang Island incident.

The United States announced that the Navy stationed on Okishen Island will send a fleet to protect its precious biological experts and scientific researchers.

On the same day, the Celestial Empire government also proposed to the island nation to send a detachment of speedboats to escort its own people, because one-third of the people who were going to the island country were Celestial Empire people, and the ships of more than 30 research institutes and more than 100 television stations were also going to the island country, and these needed to be protected.

However, this request was rejected by the island government, and said that the personnel of each country would be protected by the Self-Defense Forces in cooperation with the US military.

However, no matter how much the international community argues, ordinary people can still enter the island country at will, and the waters near Yiwang Island are full of ships.

……

Lan Kan was lurking at the bottom of the sea at this time, watching the ships come and go on the surface of the sea in a tangled manner.

He was really injured, and his body was still in pain, although the wound had grown, the scales were still missing, and he looked ugly.

Yesterday in the battle with the warship, the cruiser was really going to die with him, if it weren't for his rough skin and thick flesh, he would have almost been planted.

After carefully comparing the combat power, Lan Kan felt that it was better not to be tough with a large fleet, just one or two ships made themselves so embarrassed, and if they really wanted to have a reorganized fleet, unless they ran away from afar, otherwise under the intensive bombardment, they would have no way to live.

After being injured yesterday, Lan Kan sank to the bottom of the sea and slept beautifully to recuperate, but he also missed the opportunity to transfer.

As soon as I woke up at noon, I found that the sea was full of boats, all kinds of ships, and there were warships guarding them in the distance.

This is good, Lan Kan can't walk if he wants to, unless he leaves the clam to dive and run alone, as long as he dares to show up, he will definitely be discovered.

As everyone knows, he has already been discovered, as early as the morning, when he was still asleep, the ships of the research institutes of various countries found him, and when they learned that he was sleeping, no one dared to disturb him, but blocked all his escape routes.

I really can't think of any way to catch this amazingly big thing, and the equipment used to catch marine life is useless.

"Gee, how the hell can I catch it?"

"Completely lock up a natural bay and drive it in and trap it?"

"Let's not talk about whether this method is good or not, I don't know when you lock it, the Pacific Ocean is so big, if you want it to escape, don't think about finding it again."

"Too little time to prepare......"

"What do you think we'll do if we find a way to lure it ashore? It's much easier to get ashore. ”

"That's a good idea, but if you look at the number of idle ships nearby, it would be too dangerous to force the sea monsters to attack the ships, and the government of the island country will not allow us to mess around."

"You're right, why didn't the fleet drive these ships away? A lot of the ships are civilians and the media, and they are of no use at all. ”

"People from all countries here, their troops can't come in, and if they don't even let the media in, the island country won't be able to withstand the pressure."

The media of various countries have gathered in this sea area, and there is a crouching tiger hidden in it, and the media with real magical powers have obtained the latest news from the research ship.

Jiaolong, just at the bottom of the sea, has been lurking at the bottom of this sea.

After this news spread, everyone was excited, it turned out that they were so close to Jiaolong.

Although the self-defense forces of the island nation suffered heavy losses, the people were very excited, because all the media were discussing the question, that is, why did Jiaolong stay in this sea area? Where can it not go in the vast Pacific Ocean? If it has to stay offshore, does it think of this as its lair?

But after looking for a long time, he didn't find the so-called nest, and the dragon simply found a gentle bottom of the sea to lie on.

Regarding this problem, it is also a point that many researchers are puzzled about, and they can't think of any convincing explanation, so they can only forcibly say that Jiaolong is an amphibian and can also survive on land, so the nest is placed offshore.

The idea of the people of the island country is much simpler, thinking that the sea monster is the Yamato Dragon King, so it is natural to guard the waters of the island country and protect the island country.

They forcibly ignored the dragon's attack on the beach and the attack on the military port.

……

There were more and more ships in the waters near Yiwang Island, and finally one of the ships noticed something unusual about a certain sea cliff in Yiwang Island.

"Look! There's a hole in the cliff wall! ”

"Yes! And parasols! Who is so good at playing, blowing the sea breeze there? ”

When a cruise ship circles the route of Iwang Island, the tourists on it finally discover the hiding place of the clams.

At this time, the deck at the bow of the cruise ship was full of people, and a program team was recording the program.

And the guest filmed on the show is Koji Ito, who was hyped as the son of the sea dragon.

Because the tourists suddenly became noisy, which affected the filming, the director suspended the filming and asked the staff to calm the tourists and let them finish filming first.

During the rare break, Koji Ito took the drink that his agent gave him, and while drinking, he looked at the hole in the cliff wall, and he also noticed the parasol.

"Poof!"

Koji Ito suddenly squirted out a drink and stared there with wide eyes in disbelief.

"This ...... This ......"

"What's wrong? Haoji ...... "The agent was sprayed and said with a straight face.

Koji Ito pointed to the cliff wall excitedly, and just wanted to say that this was the dragon's lair, but suddenly covered his mouth and swallowed the words.

"Nothing! It's nothing! ”

Koji Ito decided to hide the news for the time being, and if it was said in public, and when the time came, the cliff would definitely be restricted from approaching, and only scientific researchers from various countries would be allowed to enter.

And Haoji has an ambition, that is, he wants to make his own show to uncover the secret of the dragon's lair!

You must know that he is a man known as the son of the sea dragon.

He recognized the parasol, which was lost in the attack on Yiwang Beach, he had been at the scene, sat under the umbrella and ate takoyaki, he thought he would never admit that he would not be mistaken, Jiaolong had snatched the supplies, and it should have been hidden in a hole in the cliff wall.

There are obvious traces of excavation in the hole, it should be chiseled by Jiaolong himself, as for why he robbed these things and hid them, this secret will be up to him! Koji Ito, follow the largest research team in the United States, and reveal the secrets on the spot!

If this show can be broadcast, he can become a real big star!

……

When Koji Ito discussed this matter with the senior management of Nagasaki TV, the director immediately made a decision, he must shoot!

Then he looks around for connections, contacts one of Professor Fitz's students, and informs him of the TV's request to explore the mysterious cave with the research ship.

Because of the important information provided, the television station was allowed six people to board the ship of the largest research institute in the United States.

"Are you sure it's the dragon's lair?"

At about seven o'clock in the evening, the research ship arrived at Yiwang Island, and the nearby was blocked by escorting ships, which stopped the evening tourists.

Now in front of the cliff, there is only this one ship, and they have come to explore secretly, wanting to obtain first-hand research information.

"I'm sure! I was there when the dragon stole the supplies! I recognize that parasol! Something else must be in that hole, too! Koji Ito said firmly, there are people in the entourage for you to translate for him.

Professor Fitz nodded, but wondered, "But that hole is too small to be the dragon's lair." ”

"Uh......" Before Koji Ito could explain, Fitz explained himself.

"Maybe there is a secret of the dragon stranded in this sea in that cave, no matter what, we have to find out! Walk! Let's get up! ”

After saying that, Fitz asked people to put down the submarine probe and monitor the nearby sea area at any time, so that if the dragon returned, they could escape in advance.

After the preparations were made, several speedboats carried a large number of researchers onto the reef and roped up the rock.

"What's hidden in the cave? The secret is about to be revealed! Koji Ito presided over excitedly in front of the camera, as if he saw the day when he became popular all over the world.

After the two climbers went up to the cave, they were stunned when they saw the so-called secret.

"Kids?"

They couldn't believe what they saw, and there was a little girl of seven or eight years old hiding in the cave, unkempt, curled up in the depths of the cave, her eyes blank.

"What's going on? Could it be a scene of a dragon robbing a princess? ”

But no matter how cranky the two of them are, they should rescue this little girl immediately.

Leaving a man in the cave to collect traces of dragons and take a lot of photos.

Another person slid down from the top with the little girl in his arms and told the people on the reef about the situation.

"What?"

"There's a little girl in the cave?"

The researcher looked at the little girl with a blank face in surprise, and Professor Fitz said in disbelief, "Mr. Ito, are you sure that Jiaolong did it?" Isn't someone doing something to imprison play? ”

Koji Ito was also confused, and at this moment, the person taking the picture came down, and compared the photo, Koji Ito immediately shouted: "Yes, yes, yes!" Jiaolong did it! You see, these Cokes were snatched by Jiaolong that day! ”

"I see! Jiaolong snatched those things, all for the little girl! ”

After the matter was confirmed, the people present were shocked, they never expected that the reason why Jiaolong was stranded in the sea near Yiwang Island was for a little girl!

However, the six people sent by the TV station had stronger brain replenishment ability, and even thought of some ancient legends and fairy tales of the island country.

The dragon and the little girl, what is the hidden story here? Koji Ito feels that he is developed, and this episode of the show is going to be released, it will definitely cause an uproar, and the whole world will discuss the story behind it, and this secret is really exciting.

Professor Fitz looked at the little girl in surprise.

I wanted to talk to her, but found out that she didn't know English.

"Professor Fitz, please let me ask!" Koji Ito leaned in with a smile on his face.

Fitz nodded, this little girl seems to be from the island country, and it is okay to ask questions and leave them to the people from the TV station.

Koji Ito smiled kindly and asked, "Kid, what's your name?" Did a sea monster catch you here? ”

The little girl was expressionless, glanced at Koji Ito, and stared blankly at the sea, her eyes blank.

"Uh......"

Everyone looked at each other, why didn't this girl have a little panic that a child should have? When I saw so many people, I didn't cry or make trouble, my face was expressionless, I didn't look like a child.

Is it a fool? Or is it deaf and mute?

"Maybe the shock is too much, and the mind is broken...... It's too dangerous here, go back first and ask slowly! ”

Professor Fitz saw that this was really the dragon's doing, and thought that it might come back at any time, so he immediately asked everyone to leave.

At this moment, the remaining personnel on the research ship anxiously contacted him.

"Professor Fitz! The Kraken has been spotted! ”

Fitz's eyes lit up, and he immediately said: "Come and pick us up, and notify the escort ship so that they can come and protect us!" ”

After speaking, everyone got on the speedboat in a panic, and the little girl was also taken away.

Just as everyone was evacuating in a hurry, Koji Ito looked frightened, pulled his cameraman and said, "Let's not get on their boat, run by ourselves!" ”

There are six people on their TV station, and naturally they also have a special speedboat, which Koji Ito means to drive directly back to Nagasaki in a speedboat.

"Are you crazy? The Yamato Dragon King is coming! If we don't get on the big ship, we will be with the warship, and we will be able to run out in a speedboat? The other staff thought Koji Ito was crazy, and they didn't listen to him, so they had to follow those old American researchers on the big ship.

"Listen to me! When I was at the beach, I ran away in advance because of caution, don't trust the warship, they took the little girl, and they will definitely become the target of the Yamato Dragon King! Don't forget, I'm the son of the sea dragon! Koji Ito roared.

The rest of the staff were stopped by him, caught off guard by him and grabbed the steering wheel, and the speedboat immediately headed in the direction of Nagasaki, breaking away from the other speedboats.

"You!"

The others suddenly lost their opinions, and just kept looking in the direction of the large research ship.

Until they drove far away, nothing happened to the research ship, but several warships received orders and had already approached to escort and respond.

A staff member said angrily: "Obviously there is nothing to do, let's go back!" ”

Koji Ito also had no bottom in his heart, and he was hesitating whether to really drive back.

Suddenly! In the distance, a huge wave was set off, and a thick black shadow rose into the sky, bringing countless splashes.

"Ang~!"

The terrifying howling sound filled the sea, causing the group to tremble on the speedboat.

"Quick! Hasten! Fast! It's all right back in Nagasaki! ”

Koji Ito saw that Jiaolong really appeared, and hurriedly drove the speedboat to escape at full speed, they were already far away, and Jiaolong couldn't care about them at this time, and it was really possible to escape.

Sure enough, the dragon entangled a warship, and the terrifying snake head had already stabbed into the cabin, and a terrible scream was faintly heard from there.

"Koji is really the son of the sea dragon! If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have been able to escape! The staff served Koji Ito and kept rejoicing.

Koji Ito trembled with excitement, he noticed that all this part was captured by the camera just now, and this time when he returned to Nagasaki, he was really going to become a big star!

"I'm going to be developed!"
