Titan Base, DASH Command Room

"Buzz ——!"

With a soft sound, the door of the command room slowly opened, and then, after completing the mission, the DSAH people walked in from the door in twos and threes, and casually placed their helmets on the table on one side.

However, the only missing person from the group returning to the command room was Sean, who rushed to the lab to analyze the meteorite fragment with Professor Yukari Yoshinaga as soon as he returned to the Titan base.

"The mission report has been sent to the headquarters in Paris."

"The meteorite has been fully recovered and analysis is ongoing."

Turning his head slightly to look at the captain Shigeru Hijikata at the front of the crowd, Ellie, who was sitting in front of the instrument, reported.

"Really?"

Nodding at Ellie to show that she understood, Shigeru Hijikata turned to look at the people around him and smiled, "Thanks to everyone's outstanding performance, the meteorite crisis has been averted." ”

"Hey, hey!"

Hearing the captain Shigeru Hijikata praise himself, everyone couldn't help but smile on their faces, and their eyes were full of joy.

On the same side, after the meteorite fragments were sent to the laboratory, Professor Yukari Yoshinaga, Sean and other researchers immediately analyzed them.

"Hmm......"

Holding a magnifying glass and observing the gray-black meteorite in front of him in all directions of the thermostatic glass box, Sean frowned slightly, and said: "This meteorite, it doesn't look special, it looks ordinary." ”

"Come and take a look at this!"

Just as Sean's words fell, Professor Yukari Yoshinaga, who was using an instrument to scan the meteorite, suddenly discovered something, and his face changed suddenly and he said to Sean.

"What's wrong, Professor?!"

Hearing Professor Yukari Yoshinaga's hurried call, a little doubt flashed in Sean's eyes, and he hurriedly walked to the instrument to look at it intently.

Taking off the glasses on the bridge of his nose with both hands, Yukari Yoshinaga pointed to the image on the screen, and his voice was a little solemn, "I confirm that there is life activity, and it is in this meteorite." ”

"What?!"

Looking at the wriggling worm-like creature in the meteorite analysis surface on the screen, Sean had a look of disbelief in his eyes, and even the latter two researchers were amazed by this.

"Click——!"

Suddenly, the meteorite block placed in the thermostatic glass box trembled, followed by fine cracks spreading on the gray-black surface of the meteorite, and fine fragments of stone chips and powder spilled down from it.

At the same time, the screen of the analytical instrument flashed brightly, and the image of the insectoid began to writhe wildly and engage in intense activity.

Staring wide-eyed at the screen in front of him, and then at the gray-black meteorite block that was constantly trembling in the thermostatic glass box, Sean's face was full of heavy surprise.

"Click——!"

With the fine cracks completely covering the entire meteorite block, the trembling meteorite block in the thermostatic glass box suddenly stood still, and this abnormal scenery made several people who were paying close attention to it stunned.

"Hiss——!"

Just as Sean was about to pick up the magnifying glass and take a closer look, the cracked meteorite block in the thermostatic glass box exploded, and an insect-like creature with the thick and small arm of an adult screamed and smashed through the thermostatic glass box and pounced on Sean in front of him, and the slender mouthparts pierced straight into his neck.

A strange purple glimmer of light flashed from the slender mouthparts of the insect-like creature, and in just a few seconds, Sean collapsed to the ground as if he had been hit hard, and his body temperature rose rapidly.

"Sean!"

Seeing that Sean was weak and fell down in front of the glass box, Professor Yoshinaga Yukari's face changed, and he picked up a device on the table and was about to hit the insectoid creature, but it jumped up deftly to avoid it, and followed the figure and gradually disappeared into the air.

Vigilantly glanced around but found no trace of the insect-like creature, Yoshinaga Yukari was slightly relieved, put down the instrument in his hand and hurriedly walked to Sean who was helped up by two researchers: "Sean, are you okay?" ”

"Professor."

With sweat on his forehead, Sean clutched his neck and shouted at Yukari Yoshinaga with an extremely weak mouth.

"Don't move, I'll look at your wounds!"

Just as Yukari Yoshinaga whispered to Sean and pulled away his hand covering his neck to examine the wound, ripples rippled in the air, and the insect creature that had disappeared reappeared.

"Shh——!h

Because of the absorption of the life energy in Sean's body, the initially evolved worm-like creature Dallas no longer relied on the use of mouthparts to attack, the red compound eyes in its hideous face stared at the male researcher who was supporting Sean below, and a purple electron beam radiated from its mouth hit his neck, greedily absorbing his life energy.

"Ahh

The male researcher who was suddenly attacked screamed and collapsed to the ground clutching his neck, and the other researcher and Yukari Yoshinaga, who had reacted, immediately looked up at Dallas, an insectoid creature flying in mid-air, but what caught his eye was a beam of electrons with a purple luster.

"Puff ——!"

The sound of a sharp weapon piercing into the flesh sounded, and the insect-like creature Dallas, who had absorbed the life energy of Yoshinaga Yukari, suddenly swelled a little, and the light in his crimson compound eyes flickered.

"Hiss!"

With an incomprehensible hissing sound, the worm-like creature Dallas looked at the four people who had collapsed weakly below, and the ripples in their hideous and ugly bodies reappeared, gradually disappearing into the air.

"Ahem, this is terrible......"

Enduring the heat and weakness in their bodies, Sean and Yukari Yoshinaga slowly got up from the ground, and the other two researchers also stood up with their own support.

"I have to tell Captain Hijikata about this quickly......"

Frowning and feeling his extremely weak body, Yukari Yoshinaga and Sean beside him slowly moved to the communicator and initiated a communication in the command room.

......

Titan base, command room

"Mission accomplished, I feel so hungry!"

Boredom sitting in his seat, Kenjiro Kiwa suddenly turned his gaze to the cake on the table in front of him, and got up to walk towards it as he spoke.

"No, you can't!"

Before he reached the table, Rishi suddenly scolded that he couldn't run from the side, and he was like a hen protecting the chickens and opened his hands in front of the cake, staring at Kenjiro Kitewa and saying, "The birthday party of the Kaito team members is not over yet!" ”

"Ah, it's okay, it's okay!"

Seeing Rishi, who was like a calf, and Kenjiro Kiniwa, who had already raised his hand to indicate his surrender, Kaito hurriedly stepped forward to the round and persuaded with a smile: "Let's wait for Professor Yoshinaga and Team Sean to come back and eat together!" ”

"Dididi——!"

At this moment, the communication in the command room was connected, and on the large screen, Sean and Yoshinaga Yukari were holding their necks, their faces were red, and their expressions looked very painful.

"What's wrong!?"

Seeing the situation of the two of them, Shigeru Hijikata immediately stood up from his seat and said with a shocked expression: "What happened!" ”

"Ahem, there are alien lifeforms lurking in the meteorite......"

Coughing in pain, Yukari Yoshinaga replied to Shigeru Hijikata.

"Alien lifeforms!?"

Hearing the news, Kuaidou's face couldn't help but change.

"Our necks were attacked......"

After speaking, Sean and Yoshinaga Yukari fell to the ground weakly, seeing this scene, Shigeru Hijikata's heart suddenly tightened, and he suddenly exclaimed: "Sean! Professor!! ”
