Chapter 188: Forbidden Ground Painting
Downtown China
As always, Zhu Xingzhen came out with a basket of vegetables to buy ingredients to replenish the mobile 'warehouse' at home that could never be filled, but because of the fame of that concert, Zhu Xingzhen was not as convenient when he went out, and he needed to use his mental power to make spiritual hints at all times, so as not to be recognized and cause trouble.
However, Zhu Xingzhen didn't care about it, just as he used his mental power to exercise his mental power, and insisted on doing the same task every day - buying ingredients.
"Huh?" The stars who were walking leisurely in the crowd paused slightly, looked up at the distant sky, and let out an inexplicable sigh, "Popular people are really hard~"
Then Zhu Xingzhen's figure disappeared in place so strangely, but the pedestrians around him still flowed through the street as if they hadn't noticed this phenomenon at all...

TPC Headquarters - SUPER-GUTS Command Room
"Monsters have appeared in the sky over the Andean region, and two Passion-Red (local fighter names) are currently in pursuit!" Mai Midorikawa, who is the correspondent, quickly relays the latest information she has received to Captain Kibi.
"Enable surveillance satellites!" Captain Kibi, who was notified by Mai Midorikawa, immediately gave instructions to get a more accurate picture of the scene.
"Yes!"
Mai Midorikawa immediately converted the system into a surveillance satellite to survey the area where the incident occurred, but the clouds on the screen were strangely rolling up a thick black fog, which seriously hindered the normal monitoring of the surveillance satellite.
"The weather is not good, let's switch to radar surveillance!" Seeing this, Nakajima turned back to Captain Kibi and announced, and then directly switched to the radar monitoring system, and the screen suddenly displayed a large bird-shaped phantom and the signals of two Passion-Red fighters.
---------- Dividing Line----------
Over the Andean region, two Passion-Red fighters were patrolling the source of the monster's signal, not noticing any movement behind them.
Suddenly, a giant bird-like beast flashed behind the two Passion-Red fighters, catching up with them with extremely high speed and maneuvering, and firing a blue destructive ray aimed at one of the fighters to launch a surprise attack!
At the last moment, a small ray of turquoise light appeared in time, successfully intercepting the destruction ray of the bird-like giant beast and countering the giant beast.
The seemingly small and weak turquoise light unexpectedly forcibly tore the blue destruction ray, and then directly hit the bird-shaped giant beast, pushing the small giant beast backwards, and rolling several times before regaining its body in the air.
As for the one who cast the Emelim ray just in time, it was Sero who had already arrived in the Andean region at some point!
"It's Sero! Sero saved two Passion-Red fighters and is now fighting the monsters! Mai Midorikawa excitedly looked at the signal on behalf of Sero displayed on the screen, and turned back to the crowd and said.
"Yo~" Sero, who appeared in the air, greeted the bird-like giant beast that was repelled by himself, and then continued to say, "What's the point of bullying these guys, I'll play with you, right?" ”
The bird-like beast with its huge wings cautiously looked at Sero who had repelled him, his eyes as sharp as an eagle falcon were a little hesitant at this time, and the purple-black faint light around his huge body continued to swallow, but he did not make an offensive move.
"So, I'm going to start?" Seeing the bird-type giant beast that had no intention of attacking, Sero tilted his head slightly to remind him, and then prepared to attack brazenly.
But as soon as Sero's words fell, the bird-type monster took the lead in rushing towards Sero! The bird-like monster flew at a speed that did not match its body shape, and in the blink of an eye, it had already rushed in front of Sero, swinging its giant blade-like wings and slashing at Sero.
However, Sero's reaction was faster than that of the bird-type monster, and he had already reflexively fallen backwards at the same time as the bird-type monster's giant wing had just made a move, and then instantly completed the rollover and perfectly dodged the bird-type monster's giant wing slash.
Not discouraged by slashing at the bird-type monster that had been dodged, he turned around and aimed at Sero's location and directly cast the destructive ray used in the raid on the fighter just now, shooting towards the target.
"Hey, the power is good, it's just that the accuracy is a little bit off~" Sero easily turned sideways to dodge the destructive ray, and still had time to tease at the bird-type monster.
Both attacks were easily dodged, and the bird-type monster raised its head to the sky and let out a roar, and then the filamentous purple-black light wrapped around its body all merged into its body, and then the bird-type monster with greatly increased speed rushed towards Sero again, and the speed was even better than before!
"Oh~ The speed has been increased? But no matter how much you kick it up, the end result won't change! ”
In the face of the bird-type monster with increasing speed, Sero flew towards the bird-type monster without retreating, and then slightly sideways to avoid the frontal collision of the bird-type monster in the middle of the way, and then steadily grabbed its long tail with both hands, ignoring the impact force on its body, directly slashed the huge body of the bird-type monster in the air, and then naturally threw it into the distance habitually.
After being brutally used by Sero to stop his advancing body and move quickly, the bird-like monster that was forcibly thrown away still maintained the rotation of its body and flew into the distance, and Sero also accelerated to chase and prepare to pursue.
But when Sero quickly caught up with the bird-type monster, the bird-type monster that couldn't get rid of the inertia of choice was covered by a dark cloud and disappeared in a moment, and even Sero's mental power failed to catch the trace of its disappearance in time...
"Huh? Gone? There wasn't even a trace left..."
Stranded in the sky, Sero condensed his mind and searched again to no avail, a faint light began to appear on his body, and then turned into a streamer and disappeared into the sky...
---------- Dividing Line----------
"Strange..."Mai Midorikawa muttered in a low voice as she looked at the screen that had lost the monster's signal, but no matter how hard she tried, the radar surveillance still couldn't find the trace of the monster.
"Gone?" Seeing the monster signal suddenly disappear from the screen, Asuka said in amazement.
Captain Kibi was also stunned, and then turned back to Mai Midorikawa and instructed, "Mai, use the temperature detector of the surveillance satellite to calculate the location where the monster disappeared!" ”
"Understood!"
Mai Midorikawa replied and immediately took action, while Captain Kibi continued to give orders: "Koda, you immediately get in touch with the South American branch and transmit the camera data on Passion-Red!" ”
"Yes!"
"Nakajima, check the information on the monsters known so far, and do your best to deduce the traces of the monsters!"
"Yes!"
However, even with a close search, the monster's whereabouts are unknown...
.....
"The camera data of Passion-Red, who has encountered monsters, has been transmitted!" Koda got up and said to Captain Kibi, although the search was fruitless, but the camera data of Passion-Red was transmitted smoothly, at least it was able to let everyone know the appearance and characteristics of the monster.
"Hmm!" Captain Kibi responded, and then motioned for Koda to play the information on the big screen.
As the recorded images of the fighters displayed on the big screen gradually zoomed in, Kaiya, who was watching, suddenly got up and looked at the monster images on the screen and exclaimed, "This is?!" ”
"What's wrong?" Kaiya subconsciously exclaimed, which immediately attracted the attention of Captain Kibi, and turned back to Kaiya and asked.
"Could it be... How can it be?! The surprised Kaya did not immediately respond to Captain Kibi's question, but continued to stare blankly at the monster image on the screen.
This is the command room, but after receiving a call request from a citizen, Mai Midorikawa, who was in charge of answering, immediately connected the call: "Yes, this is the SUPER-GUTS operation command room." ”
"Kaya, you seem to be very concerned?" Ignoring Mai Midorikawa who was on the phone for the time being, Nakajima asked aloud to the stunned Kaya.
"Ah, I don't know if it's from Nazca, but there's a painting on the ground in the Andean region called Dequisardoru, and one of them is very similar to a monster!" Kaya, who reacted, replied, and then switched the relevant data image to the screen.
"It's so similar..."
"It's exactly the same..."
Looking at the simple depiction of the bird on the screen, although it is simple, it is strikingly similar to the monster image that appeared earlier!
"Prank calls? There's a weirdo in the yard casting spells? Just when everyone was amazed that the ground painting was strikingly similar to the monster, Mai Midorikawa listened to the situation that the child said to him on the phone with some amusement, "By the way, what about the address?" ... Millennial town? ”
"Millennium Town?" Midorikawa Mai's last sentence immediately caught the attention of Kaiya, who suddenly ran to Midorikawa Mai's side excitedly and asked, "Where is Millennial Town?" Who is it! Whose home is it?! ”
"It's a family surnamed Akizuki..."Mai Midorikawa, who was startled by the excited hunting arrow, replied with a sigh, as if she was afraid of irritating the hunting arrow.
"Autumn Moon...", who heard Mai Midorikawa's answer, calmed down instead, muttering the word Autumn Moon to himself.
"Kaya, what's wrong?" Looking at Kaya, who was once again lost in thought, Koda asked directly, wondering why Kaya's emotions were so easily touched today.
“... Although I think it was accidental, I know an expert who studies ground paintings, and he also lives in Millennium Town, and his surname is Akizuki. Asked Kaiya was silent for a moment before explaining, "Dr. Akizuki traveled to South America three years ago to study Deki Sadoro's ground paintings, and then suddenly announced his retirement from academia... He too, my mentor..."
