Kyushu Island, near Mt. Shei.

As the Victory Feiyan flew low again and again, the forest had become a semi-regulated area.

Everyone in TPC knows that the Lebi Busters who came to Earth in the first place are hidden in the Sacrifice Mountain.

Unfortunately, the Victory team has never been able to really lock in the position of the Lebi nemesis.

As a last resort, they can only temporarily control this mountain forest to prevent ordinary people who are not aware of it from entering it by mistake.

However, this regulation is only for ordinary people.

The front-line operator of the Extraterrestrial Alliance, Ryan, is clearly not among them.

"So, why did I follow you guys to this place where birds don't?"

"Obviously, Maya has been preparing a big concert recently, and now is the time for me to go over and cheer."

Walking cautiously through the mountains and forests, Ryan didn't know how many times he had complained like this.

In front of Ryan, Lucia, who had already obtained the translation device, just smiled shyly, and then silently continued to walk in front.

As Ryan said, the task of searching for and rescuing Zara was not really within his responsibility.

After all, the front-line duo formed by him and Ryosuke Sanada is actually more suitable for violent work than tasks such as rescue and negotiation.

Especially Ryan, he didn't even have a memory of himself before he joined the Extraterrestrial Alliance.

The superpowers that come from the Abron cells and the lightning man are the abilities he is good at.

"Isn't this the Zara that Lucia sensed, which coincides with the hiding place of the Lebi Busters!"

Following closely behind Lucia and Ryan, Xuena, who was already a little out of breath, took over the topic and replied.

"The Victory team suspects that Zara, who we haven't been able to find, is actually in the hands of the Lebibusters."

"In order to deal with the Lebi Busters, you are exactly needed to make a move as an ace!"

It's obviously a whisker and a horse, but Xuena feels as if she's telling a fact.

Rao is a straight man of steel like Ryan, and after hearing these words, he couldn't help but become passionate.

Fortunately, this kind of enthusiasm only lasted less than a second, and Ryan, who knew Xue Na's previous convictions, immediately glared back at the other party.

"It's all this time, don't slap me on the back!"

"I just want to know how long we're going to have to stay in this hellish place......"

If it weren't for Xuena's encouragement, this mission would not have fallen on Ryan's head.

Of course, Ryan's failure to refuse is also an important reason.

Because in Lucia and Zara, Ryan saw the shadow of his former self and Maya.

The same helplessness, the same hunting and killing......

Ryan and Maya eventually get the help of the Extraterrestrial Alliance and TPC to integrate into what they are today.

After hearing about Lucia and Zara, it was impossible for Ryan to sit back and watch them repeat his mistakes.

"I sensed ...... Zara! ”

When Ryan and Xue Na were arguing every day, Lucia, who was walking in the front, suddenly screamed in surprise.

Although the voice was synchronized through a translator, the excitement that flowed out of Lucia's words managed to cheer Ryan up.

"Where? Where is he now!? ”

The telepathy between Lucia and Zara becomes more pronounced as they get closer.

Being able to give Lucia such a strong reaction can only mean that Zara is now somewhere within a hundred meters of this.

He ...... Over there! ”

When Ryan looked in the direction Lucia was pointing, his originally excited expression instantly stiffened.

In the direction Lucia pointed, a depressed lone wolf was lying quietly on the ground.

You don't need to look at it to know that the lone wolf must have been injured now, so it will be abandoned by its own group in this dangerous mountain forest.

"Lucia, you didn't tell me...... Zara is a wolf. ”

After a brief silence, it was not Ryan who said this, but Xuena, who was also stiff-faced.

At the first sight of the wolf, Snowna's reaction was the same as Ryan's.

The only difference from the source is that Xena does not doubt Lucia's perception, nor does she think that the other party is playing tricks on herself.

"Zara...... Not a wolf. ”

Shaking her head decisively to deny Xue Na's words, Lucia's intermittent voice continued.

"I'm on that wolf's body...... Zara's presence was sensed. ”

Hearing this, Ryan and Xue Na turned their eyes on the languishing lone wolf again, but their faces still showed an incredible look.

"Mourn!"

Just when Lucia felt that the two of them could understand her words, the word "mourning" suddenly popped out of Ryan's mouth.

This sudden statement not only silenced Lucia.

Even Xuena, who is a reporter, didn't know what to say for a while.

"Zara...... Not dead! ”

Her face flushed with shame, and Lucia eagerly explained again.

"Only Zara is alive...... I was able to sense his presence. ”

"So Zara isn't dead, he's ...... now In the belly of this wolf! ”

Glancing at each other, Ryan and Luna moved their gaze back to Lucia again.

"Zara...... In the belly of this wolf? ”

Ryan couldn't imagine how a cosmic man about the size of Lucia could have been stuffed into the wolf's belly.

However, Xuena's reaction at this time was much faster than Ryan's.

"It's a Lebi Buster!"

"The Lebibusters have mastered some mysterious miniature technology that can shrink matter down to a microscopic scale!"

"So, Zara was indeed captured by the Lebi Busters, and they are now lying in the belly of this wolf!"

The more she spoke, the more excited she became, her eyes widened and she began to mumble to herself.

"No wonder the Victory team has never been able to find a hiding place for the Lebi Busters......"

"Because they're not hiding in a fixed place at all, they're hiding in the bodies of living beings."

"As long as the winning team doesn't realize this, even if they dig over the entire mountain of sacrifice, it will never be possible to find the Lebi Busters."

I have to admit that although Xue Na's analysis is a bit bizarre, it is surprisingly in line with the existing clues.

The well-informed Ryan didn't even hesitate for a moment, and chose to believe Xuena's words.

"That's terrible......"

Grabbing Lucia and Snowna's arms and pulling them behind him, Ryan's face showed a rare cautious expression.

"Do you think the Lebibusters have spotted us now?"
