Chapter 18: The Lost Youth
"I can only pray silently......"
In the headquarters of TPC Far East and in the command room, the group of the victory team looked at the video message on the screen in a daze.
This message was found by Norui from the private computer of Dr. Ezaki's laboratory after receiving the news of the investigation by the Space Development Agency, and the content of the information was so shocking that the entire command office fell silent, and everyone was speechless for a long time.
"Is there a way to get them back to what they were?" Memo asked softly.
Facing the gaze of Mezumi in the middle, Dr. Kenmura and the others sighed and shook their heads.
In such a situation, there is simply nothing they can do.
"I have a question," Munakata muttered, "how can they still show up now that they have become captives of the monsters?" β
"Perhaps," replied Big Goo, after a pause, "it's the affection we humans have for our loved ones that monsters can't understand......
Looking at everyone, Dagu continued, "So their consciousness was materialized by borrowing the power of the monster. β
"Well, what about this message," Nanyuan staff officer nodded and said, "TPC headquarters is also analyzing, and the answer will come out soon." β
"Di~Di~" A bell rang.
"Command room." Zongfang turned around and picked up the phone, "I see!" β
"Captain, the monster has appeared," Munakata reported, putting down the phone, "the direction is the Tsuruzaki Power Station!" β
β¦β¦
In an izakaya in downtown Tokyo, Xia Long pushed the door open and walked in, and sat at a table near the corner.
"Gao Shu-kun, here you go again," the boss greeted, "Is Akiyama's mother-in-law better?" β
"Well, once in a while, I go out for a walk." Xia Long responded.
The environment of this izakaya is relatively quiet, and after he stumbled upon it, he often came to sit and sit.
"Do you still drink as usual?"
"Let's have a glass of orange juice."
Ordered a drink, Xia Long took a few sips and put it back on the table, looking at himself in the mirror in a daze.
Under the warm light, his thick dark circles couldn't be covered.
These days, it seems that under the influence of Zaki's breath, Gorzan in his body has become more and more restless, and the number of dark riots has increased.
β001β¦β¦β
Xia Long shouted softly, the current situation reminded him of his time in the Leo World, when it was also eroded by darkness.
"The host is in a special situation right now, and the solution lies with the host itself."
"Really?" Xia Long sighed softly, no matter how many times he asked, the system was the answer, but ......
After so many days, he still has no clue, so he can only do his best to suppress it.
"Excuse me, can I sit here?"
An unfamiliar male voice suddenly sounded, and Xia Long looked up and saw a young man wearing black-rimmed glasses and a brown plaid shirt.
"Whatever." Shaking his head, Xia Long continued to take a sip of his drink.
"Would you like a drink?" The young man smiled and sat opposite Xia Long, "I invite you." β
"No, thanks, I need to make sure I'm clear-headed."
"You haven't had a good time lately?" The young man took a glass of beer and pushed it in front of Xia Long.
"How do you know?" Without touching the beer, Xia Long looked at the young man in surprise, and the young man in front of him seemed to know about him.
"Guess," the young man picked up his wine glass and gestured slightly to Xia Long, and said with a smile, "Talk to me, maybe I can help you." β
"You won't understand." Xia Long's brows furrowed slightly.
"Alright then," the young man continued to drink, pausing with his glass, "come to me anytime you need help, I'll be here every weekend." β
Ignoring Xia Long's puzzled eyes, the young man suddenly looked out of the door.
"It's really a bit unfortunate, let's do it today, and we'll talk about it next time." The young man said as he left his seat and walked out.
"What the hell are you ......" Xia Long slowly stood up and looked at the young man's back.
"By the way, I'll give you a piece of advice," as if remembering something, the young man stopped when he was about to walk to the door, and turned back, "It's better not to use things that don't belong to you." β
Something that doesn't belong to you?
Xia Long was slightly stunned and looked towards the palm of his right hand.
Is it referring to Gorzan?
"You ......" When he came back to his senses, he wanted to ask again, but found that the man was gone.
"Oh, it's that Kirino guy," the izakaya owner walked up to Xia Long and said with a smile, "Takashu-kun doesn't care about him, he's like this, saying strange things all day long." β
Kirino?
Xia Long looked at the direction the young man left in a daze, and his face showed a look of thought.
He seems to have heard this name, and the other party doesn't seem to be an ordinary person, who could it be?
"Aangβ" A faint voice interrupted Xia Long's musings, and he looked around suspiciously, only to see a huge monster appear on the TV on the counter.
"Now we can see from afar, the monster is heading in that direction," a round-faced reporter appeared on the screen, "Oh my God, it looks like the Tsuruzaki power station ahead!" β
Is that......
Xia Long looked at the monsters that were constantly destroying on the TV, and the memories in his mind came flooding back.
Lijadelon!
"Has it started?" Xia Long muttered.
β¦β¦
On the curvy mountain road, a green taxi pulls up to the side of the road.
"Hey, are you really going over there?" The driver leaned out of the car and shouted to Xia Long, "I heard that a monster has appeared." β
"I know, don't worry about me." Waving his hand at the driver, Xia Long walked down the stone stairs towards the mountain.
Originally, the dark aura was now in his body, and if there were no accidents, he should be able to handle it by the victory team and Tiga.
However, in the end, he still came, on the one hand, he wanted to see the three astronauts again, and on the other hand, he did not forget the Zaki lurking in this world.
Although no trace has been revealed yet, with Zaki's temperament, maybe there will be some moves.
"Roar!" After passing through a torii, Xia Long saw the body of the monster in the distance, as well as the two Feiyan circling high in the air.
"Bang ββ!" With an explosion, the tail of one of the Swifts attacking the monster caught fire and fell to the ground.
"Dagu?" Sensing the familiar aura in the direction of the crash, Xia Long stopped.
To be honest, he didn't want to come into contact with Dagu yet, after all, he was like this, and Dagu might find out something if he saw it.
"Frightened!"
Looking at Di Jia, who appeared in the light, a trace of complexity flashed in Xia Long's eyes.
Because of Gorzan and Zaki's aura, he seems to be getting deeper and deeper in the opposite of humanity, and no one would have thought that he was once an Ultra warrior as well.
"Tiga ......"
Feeling the breath of his right hand that began to fluctuate again, Xia Long's eyes tightened.
No matter what, he has to find the method that the system says will completely solve this hidden danger in his body, which will explode at any time.
Definitely!
It's hard to imagine what would happen if he was controlled by the darkness.
Looking at Ligadron who had put Tiga in a bitter battle, Xia Long nodded and continued on his way.
(I've had some old problems in the last few chapters)
