"If, if you are really a magical girl, can you let me see my mother again? Just once, even if it's just to say one sentence. I want to see my mother again."
"Sorry." Ling also answered, but she couldn't say anything else because she had already lost consciousness. Jianye rushed forward and picked her up as she was about to fall. He only said to Sakura, "Excuse me."
He picked up Ling in his arms like a princess, walked towards the car parked on the side of the road, and carried the unconscious Ling back to the back seat of the car.
The little girl felt so light in Jianye’s arms that it seemed as if she had no weight. It was hard to imagine that she was the one who saved the planet time and time again and took on all the pressure.
Sakura wanted to say something, but facing the back of Butler Mino, she was unable to utter a word.
She knew it was an extravagant wish, but she couldn't help but pray. When she was a child, she thought there was magic in the world. Her father said that her mother went to heaven. So she naively thought that if she grew up and learned magic, she could fly to heaven to see her mother.
But when I grew up, I found that it was just a fairy tale. There is no heaven or magic in this world, only the cold facts of life and death.
It's really ridiculous. She was clearly a magical girl waving the magic wand on the screen, but it made her realize that magic doesn't exist. Because she kept hiding in the corner and chanting spells. Without special effects and post-production, these were all fake.
She has no dark power, nor does she have the Clow Cards to make a contract. The key is just a key, and the magic wand is just a simple wooden wand. Her mother is still just quietly in the photo frame.
Dad didn't say anything when he came back from the hospital that day, but from that day on, she never saw her mother again. The person who spoke to her tenderly disappeared from this world, leaving only a cold photo.
Watching the taillights of the black car disappear into the distance, Sakura, still wearing the same costume she wore when filming the TV series, squatted on the ground helplessly.
"Ying." Tomoyo was a little worried, but didn't know what to say to comfort her.
Chapter 45: Destroying the Gogda Plan
TAC Base
Captain Long was comparing the observation report of the planet Gogda issued by the monitoring station, and he casually flipped through two pages.
However, because Gogda is located in the dark universe, the distorted curvature cannot be used to intuitively describe its distance from the earth using human distance units. It is also difficult to express its own trajectory relative to the earth. This is a description that ordinary people cannot understand and must be upgraded. In fact, it can only be reflected in the expression calculated by mathematical equations.
To be honest, Long couldn't understand the professional terms and various physical expressions in the report at all. He didn't want to pretend to understand them. After reading two pages and confirming that they were "hieroglyphics", he closed the report directly.
"So, what exactly did the monitoring station calculate?"
Special questions still need to be answered by special people, so Long asked Dr. Kiji directly.
"That's right. Although the dark universe and our Earth cannot be optically observed, they are actually in the same cosmic field. They also exchange gravity due to mass. If we put aside classical physics and observe from a quantum perspective, there is no barrier between them. So even if Gogda does not collide with the Earth, it will still have an impact on the Earth based on observation results. Including but not limited to earthquakes, tsunamis, etc. The probability of causing a tsunami is over 92%, and coastal cities and countries around the world will suffer - including us, of course. And even more, the probability of causing continental shifts is higher than 50%, which may cause a disaster on the level of the extinction of the dinosaurs."
For the Earth itself, this is just a more active geological activity, a rise of tens of meters in sea level, a rise or fall of 20 to 30 degrees in average temperature, and a change in global oxygen concentration, which are commonplace in the history of the Earth over hundreds of millions of years. It is probably just like a little girl getting up in the morning to change the way she braids her hair or change into a dress.
But for humans and the entire Earth's ecology, such a change would be devastating - just like the five mass extinctions the Earth has already experienced.
This is probably the purpose of the Yabo people. The Yabo people do not want to destroy the earth. They only want to destroy the civilization on the surface of the earth and get the planet. They may understand the value of the earth in the universe better than humans themselves.
"So, we can't just sit back and watch this planet approach?"
“Yes, this must be resolved.”
There was some silence in the command room.
If we refer to the direct destruction of the demon star Koala, humans do have this ability. But this time it is different, because the planet Gogda is not only a threat, but also trapped four Ultra Warriors. They are their heroes, warriors who have fought bloody battles for the earth time and time again.
No one in the TAC team dared to talk about destroying the planet Gogda. But if they wanted to send troops to solve the problem and rescue the Ultra Warriors, humans were far from having the technological reserves to go to the dark universe.
So this is a dead end.
After thinking about it, Long felt a headache and simply put it aside.
"What about Beidou and Nan, how are they?"
"There shouldn't be any problem. I just had someone bring them back from the Central Hospital and they're receiving treatment here," Mu Kaji said.
"You come to treat? You also know medical skills?"
"It's like this. The hospital contacted our TAC team before. The doctor said that according to the examination results, Beidou and Nan had no real injuries. They just consumed too much energy. It's hard to understand what they went through. It's as if they had worked for seven days and seven nights without rest. In addition, the doctor found that after the sun rose and basked in the sun, the two of them were obviously in much better condition. I thought that our TAC team's artificial solar energy might be of some use, so I suggested bringing them back."
"Solar energy?" Long nodded thoughtfully but said nothing.
"The artificial sunlight device in my laboratory was used to study whether crops can be grown in space. It can completely simulate sunlight. Beidou and Nan are now receiving a 'sunbath', and it seems to be quite effective. Their spirits have stabilized, and they may wake up in a while."
"Then I'll leave it to you. Please take good care of them."
"Okay, don't worry."
Just as Kiji said, after receiving the sunbathing treatment, Beidou and Minami woke up one after another in just half an hour.
"You're awake, how do you feel?"
"Captain." Hokuto Seiji sat up and pressed his hands on his temples. After a while, he came to his senses. "Is this the TAC team? How is the Ultra Beast?"
"The Ultra Beast Baraba has been destroyed by Gaia."
"It has been destroyed?" Beidou was a little surprised, but not too surprised.
Just as the brothers said, the light of a planet has infinite possibilities, like the plasma spark tower of Ultra Star, it can even turn the people of the entire planet into people of light. Even if she is just a small spark now.
"And what about Gogda?"
"It's still approaching, and we don't have much time. How are you guys recovering?"
As he spoke, Nan Xizi had already woken up and sat up.
"It's okay. It's okay even if I go to the battlefield right away."
"It's better not to force it." Long reminded, "We still have time. If we act rashly, it may make the problem worse."
"So, what is the TAC team going to do?"
"To be honest, Beidou, our current technology is not enough to expedition into the dark universe. You know, the Space Army has just been established. The Ultra Guard's space satellite plan gave us a defense system consisting of attack satellites in the universe. That was the predecessor of the Space Army, but that's all. We can launch rockets outside the solar system, but we can't build space battleships that can expedition."
Beidou knew that the captain was telling the truth. Facing the planet Gogda, the TAC team really didn't have a good solution. Therefore, the only person they could rely on was Ace.
Now that Barabbas has been destroyed and the crisis on Earth has been resolved, there is only one thing left to do. No matter how dangerous it is, he must rescue his brother.
Chiba Prefecture, Oshima House
Ling also woke up and sat up on the bed. She still felt a little dizzy, but she felt better.
"You're awake, Miss."
As soon as she walked out of the room, Ling met the housekeeper Jianye. She suspected that Jianye might have been guarding her door.
"Grandpa Jianye, what time is it now? How long have I slept?"
"It's ten o'clock in the morning. You fell asleep in the early hours of yesterday morning and slept for about thirty hours."
It had been so long, no wonder her whole body felt a little stiff.
"I'm going to the bathroom."
"By the way, Miss, I have prepared some lavender shower gel in the bathroom. It should be able to relieve your fatigue. It's in the cabinet on the shelf next to the bathtub."
"Thank you for your great help, Grandpa Jianye." Ling was indeed preparing to take a shower. She felt her body stunk after lying in bed covered in dust for a day and a night.
"I'll go prepare brunch. Is berry daifuku and yokan okay?"
"Okay, as for drinks - they taste a bit bitter in my mouth. I don't want to drink tea or milk. Lemon water is fine. It's more refreshing."
"I understand."
Nothing can relieve fatigue better than taking a hot bath. Let the hot water of about 50 degrees soak the whole body. The temperature that seems to make the whole body feel a little hot at first, will relax the body from tension in the next second. Some kind of neuron electrical signal goes straight into the brain, and then there is an indescribable comfort. If you immerse your ears under water, you can even hear your heartbeat speeding up due to the accelerated blood flow.
Reaching out his hand in the water, a medal condensed between Reiya's fingers.
Order of Aguru.
Because it was bound to Gaia's Light, it could be taken out at will as if it had its own space. This was the second medal she had unsealed and bound.
In the medal, a three-dimensional blue Ultraman Warrior stood proudly with his hands folded in front of his chest.
Gaia is the will of this planet, with land and ocean, but the previous Light of Gaia only contained the power of the earth. It turned out that this was the Light of the Sea that Gaia was missing, so when she chose to unlock the medal before, she chose this medal.
After more than thirty hours, the light energy in the Agul Medal is now fully stored. Feeling the deep blue light energy, since trying to activate the Gaia V2 form, Ling has to admit that it does give people an unparalleled sense of security.
I always feel like I'm not fighting alone.
"Thank you, Agururu."
Ling also talked to herself, not caring whether the other party could hear her because he was just a medal.
But the crisis was not over. Lying in the bathtub, through Gaia's perception, she could sense that the vague threat was still approaching.
Planet Gogda. This is a bit tricky.
The next morning, a military aircraft from the South Pacific Defense Force International Headquarters landed at the TAC base in Tokyo Goko.
The visitor was Commander Takakura, who brought with him the decision of the International Headquarters on how to deal with the planet Gogda.
The TAC team, which had received the notification in advance, dressed neatly and waited in the command room.
Commander Takakura is an old man in his sixties with completely white hair.
"After research by the Earth Defense Force Headquarters, we have decided to destroy Planet Gogda with a near-light-speed missile."
Destroy Gogda, that was the decision of the SADF.
"Near-light-speed missile?"
"Yes, Gogda is in the dark universe. We must accelerate the rocket carrying the missile to close to the speed of light in order to have enough mass to distort the curvature and enter the dark universe." Commander Gao Cang explained, "The relevant preparations must be completed within five days. We don't have more time."
"But wait a minute!" Beidou couldn't help but stand up, "We're just going to destroy the Gogda planet like this? What about the Ultra Brothers trapped there?"
"The Ultra Brothers have created miracles time and time again. I think they should be able to survive human missiles."
"This statement is too irresponsible, if..."
"Then what do you want to do?" Gao Cang suddenly roared. Perhaps it was the courage of a person in a high position that made Beidou so frightened by his momentum that he forgot to speak.
"Do you know the casualties in the battle against Barabbas the day before yesterday?"
The members of the TAC team looked at each other and shook their heads. They were present at the time and knew that the casualties must have been very heavy, but even Captain Long did not get the exact number.
"The Tokyo Division of the Far East Branch of the Earth Defense Force has been completely wiped out."
"What you mean by annihilation of the entire army is..." Although he had already made some guesses, Long still asked in disbelief.
"Tokyo branch, the army has 4220 people, 350 of them are seriously injured, 119 are missing, and the rest are all killed. The air force has 3720 people, except for 21 who parachuted and survived, including the branch commander Chinuma, all were killed. And I am here to take over Commander Chinuma's position."
Everyone on the TAC team, including Hokuto Seiji, was speechless.
"119 people are missing. I would rather believe they are deserters. At least they are still alive. I swear I won't blame them for being cowardly."
"Ordinary wars rarely have such numbers, but we are fighting a war between civilizations. It is not for land, not for resources, it is a war between Earth civilization and alien civilization. The winners protect their homes, and the losers, including civilization itself, will be wiped out. This time it is the Tokyo branch that is fighting, but I believe that if it is any country or any unit on Earth, the soldiers will make the same choice. Team TAC, standing on the front line against the Ultra Beasts, don't you have such awareness?"
