XIO Operations Command Room.

Captain Shenmu took a sip of coffee: "Still haven't found the afterglow team?" ”

The male correspondent shook his head: "No." ”

The female correspondent said, "Maybe I'm going to sleep somewhere again." ”

There was a lot less "disdain" in the two of them this time, and they were also amazed by the performance of Afterglow who had just stopped the giant robot alone.

Although it is a little inexplicable, there is also a bit of trickery in it.

But this time the role is quite big, so they also recognize it a little.

Vice Captain Tachibana made a rare joke: "It seems that the cockpit environment of that robot is very comfortable, and people will feel sleepy as soon as they enter." ”

Captain Shenmu shook his head slightly, Yu Hui had just made a great achievement, and he was not good at criticizing him at this time.

After a while, the female correspondent added: "The head of the [UNVER] Japan branch has arrived. ”

[UNVER] is the parent organization of XIO in each country.

Soon, a man in a dark blue uniform with some gray hair on his head walked in.

Next to him was a woman in a black suit.

The two of them seem to have a high-powered, high-minded aura.

The minister also spoke unceremoniously, and did not return the salute in the face of the bows of the two captains.

He got straight to the point and said, "Shenmu, report to me about the current situation." ”

Captain Shenmu nodded, and he stepped forward:

"We're protecting an alien."

"He disguised the spaceship as a small meteorite and came to Earth."

The main screen of the command room flashed, and it turned into [Hui] lying on a hospital bed, wearing a ventilator.

"The experimental team rushed to the scene, and while investigating the A-form alien machine, this video suddenly began to play."

The screen changes again, and a terrifying shadow rages across the world.

In a sea of fire, many people were turned into stones and buried in the sea of sand.

Minister Nanchuan nodded slightly: "Is this the man's memory?" ”

Deputy Captain Tachibana said, "I'm afraid so." ”

Captain Shenmu said: "Based on this image, it can be inferred that this A-form alien is not an invader, but a fugitive. ”

Minister Nanchuan said: "You mean, he didn't come to invade the earth?" ”

That's what he's most concerned about.

Vice Captain Tachibana said:

"He summoned the robot, initially to retrieve his spaceship, and the period of loss of control in the middle was the reason for his coma."

"However, our afterglow team stopped the robot's rampage, and the damage was minimized."

Minister Nanchuan had a trace of doubt on his face: "Team Afterglow? ”

Who is this, is there such a person in the XIO Japan branch?

But he was soon infected by the "cognitive modification" on Captain Shenmu and Vice Captain Tachibana, and said after a trance:

"Oh, it's him, I see, then you have to reward him."

"So, Captain Shenmu, what are you going to do with this alien?"

Captain Shenmu said, "It is our duty to protect refugees from the universe. ”

Minister Nanchuan's tone became stern: "But he destroyed the city after all!" ”

Although Ludian stopped behind him, it trampled on many streets and smashed several unoccupied buildings.

An alien has destroyed the city, not only will we not pursue you, but we will also protect it, how can we explain this to the masses?

In the intensive care unit, Dr. Gelman said:

"We investigated his brain hormones in detail and found that he did not have the desire to attack or aggression."

"In the past few years, he has been in a state of amnesia because of major stimuli."

"Some people see him often coming to a park and wandering in front of the monument in the park, but he didn't expect it to be the spaceship he was on back then."

At this time, the male researcher [Sanri Yue], who was dangling by the side of the spaceship with an "antenna", was startled: "The short signal is repeating itself all the time. ”

The female researcher [Liuyi] said, "Is this ...... [SOS]?" ”

After the news was transmitted back to the command room, Captain Shenmu analyzed: "Did the spaceship sense some kind of danger, so it sent a distress signal?" ”

Vice-Captain Tachibana continued, "And this signal awakened the alien's memory and made him want to activate the robot to fight the danger?" ”

On the other side, [Hui] in the intensive care unit woke up suddenly.

He sat up and ripped off the ventilator, his eyes beating with great panic.

The female nurse on the side asked with concern, "Are you okay, call the doctor quickly!" ”

Hui muttered to himself, "It's coming...... He's coming here! ”

After a period of fumbling, his face changed drastically, and Lu Dian was no longer on him!

With a twinkle in his eyes, he kidnapped the female nurse and wanted to get her stuff back.

Hearing the movement, Asukina, Adu, and Hayato, who were outside the intensive care room, rushed in and raised their guns to aim at him.

[Hui]'s tone was very hurried: "Ludian, return Ludian to me!" Only Ludian can defeat Gagorgon! ”

Dr. Gelman said, "'Gorgon'? That character from Greek mythology? ”

The earth knows Gorgon: "A basilisk with long hair will turn anyone he sees to stone." ”①

Adu was speechless: "Why do the monsters in the universe become characters in our mythology?" ”

[Hui] seemed to have calmed down at this time, and he said:

"Gagorgon, it once came to this planet, and at that time, it turned a civilization into stone and sank into the sea."

"Our ancestors fought side by side with the people of this planet at that time, but in the end we lost." ②

"Not only that, but it also provoked the wrath of Gagorgon, leading to the extermination of our race!"

Everyone immediately looked at each other, the people of the Golden Planet actually fought with the lost ancient civilization "Atlantis" on the earth?

The former comrades-in-arms, the descendants are now fighting each other, so it seems that it is really ironic.

Hayato asked the most crucial question: "Why is Gagorgon back now?" ”

[Hui] said: "It must want to obtain the golden planetary energy from Lu Di'an. ”

At this moment, he seemed to hear something, and his expression froze.

He immediately roared:

"Give me back Ludian! Now it is the only one that can compete with Gagorgon! ”

"I vaguely saw a giant turned into a stone statue before, it must have been Gagorgon's transformation of him like this!"

Afterglow's voice rang out: "You're wrong, the petrified Beria has nothing to do with Gagorgon. ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they saw Afterglow walk in with Ludian's glitter doll.

Hayato asked, "Team Afterglow, are you awake?" ”

Afterglow nodded, "Well, woke up." ”

(1) Many readers may think of "Medusa", and here is an explanation that Medusa evolved into Gorgon after devouring her two older sisters.

(2) There is no such paragraph in the original play, but I think there is a strong correlation between the two, so I extended it to the second creation.
