Chapter 6: The Man Who Seeks the Light
TPC Americas.
The appearance of the immortal bird Silas immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.
"It's Silas! It's Silas, the undead bird! It's here again! ”
Accompanied by the loud shouts of the monitoring personnel, Keigo Masaki immediately walked to the large monitoring screen and stared at the immortal bird that was fighting with Hilton Long with a serious expression.
"Silas? Is it really Syrah? ”
Just as Keigo Masaki was about to say something, an old voice suddenly came from behind him.
There was a slight tremor in his tone, and the owner of the old voice staggered open the door and ran straight in front of Masaki Keigo.
It was none other than Dr. Nezu, who was already terminally ill.
As early as the original Zilda gas explosion, Dr. Nezu was genetically mutated due to the erosion of residual energy.
However, for the sake of the obsession and guilt in his heart, Dr. Nezu endured the pain caused by the disease in his body and kept monitoring the remaining Zilda gas use.
Until Syrah, the Immortal Bird, appeared with the intention of destroying the remaining Zilda gas.
So, under the half-concerned and half-threatening persuasion of Director Sawai, Dr. Nezu finally came to the experimental base of the American branch and became a member of Keigo Masaki.
At this base, Dr. Nezu is responsible for a crucial part of Project F - how to make the "Qualified" evolve into the most perfect human being.
The results of Plan F were not perfect, but they were a successful one.
Eventually, the new city succeeded in assimilating into the Giant Stone Statue and became the blue giant that is now active all over the planet, Terra Noyd.
However, Dr. Nezu's health deteriorated after that.
Especially in recent times, Dr. Nezu's physical condition has deteriorated to the point where he is basically not allowed to appear on the front line anymore.
Even if he is rational and indifferent like Keigo Masaki, after learning what happened to Dr. Nezu, he showed due respect to this senior.

"It's Silas, the immortal bird you've been waiting for."
Looking at the trembling old man beside him, Masaki Keigo was silent for a long time before nodding and saying under the gaze of the staff.
"It's on the front lines of the fight against monsters again."
Ever since Silas transformed into a true immortal, it has appeared more than once at the scene of the monster's rampage.
For those monsters who are bewitched by the dark forces.
Silas, the immortal bird, usually uses purification and inducement to calm their anger and fear, and eventually take them away from their human settlements.
As for the monsters that are already brutal?
Silas will also choose to kill them after channeling them to no avail, in order to reduce the casualties they cause.
Therefore, after a long time, the reputation of Immortal Bird Silas in human society is not inferior to that of the blue giant Terranoyd, who has been fighting on the front line all year round.
"This time...... Did you detect Asami's life signal? ”
With a little bit of anticipation, with a little bit of trepidation......
Dr. Nezu's voice suddenly lowered a lot, and his eyes lit up with desolation and pleading.
After living for so many years and accomplishing so much, Dr. Nezu feels most sorry for his daughter Asami.
If it weren't for the fact that he secretly brought Zilda gas home to study......
If only I could pay a little more attention to my daughter......
If I hadn't been so conceited and arrogant......
If there is no one of the above "ifs", Asami will not die under the explosion of Zilda gas.
Therefore, when Dr. Nezu learned from Director Sawai that in places where Immortal Bird Silas frequently appeared, the fluctuations in the life of a little girl in red would always be detected in advance, he never felt ecstasy.
"Doctor, I'm not sure if that's your daughter yet."
Calm and rational as always, Keigo Masaki said slowly.
"However, we did detect the 'companion' of Syrah the Immortal Bird this time."
Hearing Keigo Masaki say this, Dr. Nezu's tired eyes suddenly glowed again.
"Can you help me get in touch with her?"
"Anyway, please help me get in touch with her!"
Looking pleadingly at Keigo Masaki, Dr. Nezu knew better than anyone what the other party was capable of.
Today, after completing Plan F, Keigo Masaki is no longer as simple as he seems.
Even if it is not as good as Terra Loyd's human body, Masaki Keigo, who has extremely high technology and the power of the Sediq Company, is definitely not an ordinary person.
"You should know it's against the law, and it's extremely dangerous."
Keigo Masaki is not alarmist, but TPC has come to the conclusion after summarizing the vast majority of monster contacts.
It doesn't matter what type of monster it is, and it doesn't matter if they're in a docile mood or not......
The huge disparity in strength and health level often costs those who have experienced the monster at great cost.
The better ones are nothing more than insanity and physical disabilities, which is not a big problem in this human society where mechanical will has been universally popularized.
But the worst thing, or the vast majority of the contacts, died tragically in the process of contacting the monsters.
"Zhengmu-kun, look at my current appearance, are you still afraid of death?"
Patting his chest with a wry smile, Dr. Nezu, who was a little unsteady even on his feet, asked helplessly.
"I should have died a long time ago, and what has supported me until now is only that sense of responsibility and unwillingness."
"As long as I can see Asami again, I'm willing to accept it no matter what the price pays!"
Hearing this, Keigo Masaki fell silent again.
As a human genius in his prime, Keigo Masaki can't empathize with Dr. Nezu's choice, but he can understand the other party's behavior.
"Immortal Syrah has long gone beyond the concept of material life......"
Slowly exhaling a breath of turbidity, Masaki Keigo looked around at the staff around him, and said in a low voice.
"If you want to connect with it, you can only transform your own spiritual power into a frequency that it can reach."
"With your current physical condition, I'm afraid you won't be able to pass that level of material and spiritual transformation."
After a slight pause in his tone, Keigo Masaki looked at Dr. Nezu with a look of ecstasy on his face, and had to continue.
"Of course, if you're really not afraid of death, I can give it a try for you."
"But one thing you have to be clear, forcibly converting unqualified people into 'light', the best data recorded in the experiment is only ten seconds."
"After this time, even if Tiga comes, he won't be able to save you."
