It turned out to be a foreign Bodhisattva.
Ling also looked at what Kotaro took out of his pocket. It can be seen that since he brought it with him, he must have prepared it to be given.
But it was just a casual glance, and Ling immediately noticed something was wrong.
"No, people give amulets, why are you giving curses?"
"Curse? What curse?" Kotaro felt confused, because this was his amulet.
“Isn’t it written there?”
The so-called amulet was wrapped in paper with words written on it. The font size was at least size 3, and anyone with eyes could see it.
Ling also took the paper package. She only saw the words "Devil Gillianma" and "Curse" at first, but after opening it, she saw the complete text.
[The once cherished lucky stone was cursed by the demon Gilliam and turned into a demon stone. When the moon is full, Gilliam absorbs the energy of the demon stone and becomes extremely huge, destroying the entire city.]
"Look, isn't it written on it?"
Kotaro didn't look at the words, but looked at Reiya.
"Can you understand the words on this?"
"This word...oh!" Ling suddenly realized that the words on it were not Japanese, Chinese, or English, but words she had never learned. She just read them out naturally.
Just because it was indeed once the writing of the Earth, even if that civilization has disappeared for thousands of years and no one knows its true history and writing anymore, but at least Gaia remembers it.
“This is ancient Egyptian.”
Ancient Egypt, although it has the same name as the present-day Egypt, has nothing to do with the two civilizations. Except for a few ruins, nothing is left.
"Where did you get this amulet?"
"Well, it was given to me by a guest when our ship stopped in Cairo during our round-the-world trip."
"No, wait a minute!" Ling also remembered something. "You said before that when you were traveling around the world, someone gave you seeds of the Chikulis flower. They said it was a flower that blooms once every 100 years in the Sahara Desert. I remember that the Sahara Desert is in Egypt. Did you get the seeds at that time?"
"Oh, yes, it was that tourist who gave me a flower seed and this 'amulet'."
Ling also began to be unable to understand Kotaro's train of thought.
"But that Chikulis flower is a monster! That man gave you a monster, and you dare to give Saori another thing he gave you as a birthday present?"
Did she understand it wrongly? In fact, Kotaro didn't like Saori, but had a grudge against her?
Kotaro thought about it and it seemed to be right.
"You mean, I was cheated? That person is actually a bad guy?" Only then did he come to his senses.
Isn't this obvious? No good person would give a monster to someone as a gift.
"What does that person look like?"
What did he look like? Kotaro couldn't remember clearly.
"He was wearing black clothes, a black cape, and his face was quite white. Although it sounds like a bad guy, I always feel that he is quite friendly."
Pretty friendly? That was surprising.
Ace once said that his brother was a hot-blooded fool. But there was one advantage of being a hot-blooded fool: there was something called "intuition" that was often unexpectedly accurate.
Of course, Taro is not stupid, he is just stubborn. Just like Saburo Shinoda of the Polaris, he has a dream and will do anything without considering anything.
Ling was also a little suspicious.
That's right, if you really want to harm someone, you can just give them a cursed pendant, there's no need to wrap it with an "instruction manual". It seems like you're doing it on purpose for people to see it.
Although the ancient Egyptian writing has been lost, with human technology, it is still possible to decipher it with some time. The ZAT team has this ability.
Including the previous Chikulis flower, it is not an unsolvable problem - as long as Kotaro chooses to transform into Taro.
Set an obstacle and give some reminders. So this is a test?
Kotaro said that the other party was very kind and he didn't feel any bad intentions, so he didn't doubt that the flower had turned into a monster. He just thought that the other party was also in the dark.
The reason why Kotaro was able to be deceived was probably because the other party had no "bad intentions" and just wanted to set him up with some difficulties.
Haha, Ling also understood.
If it's not Mother of Ultra disguised as a man, it's most likely Father of Ultra. A family of riddlers gave birth to someone as honest as Taro.
So, what about herself? To be the Riddler?
Chapter 351: Demon Gillianma
"Kotaro, this amulet may bring disaster, so don't give it to others for now. Just keep it for yourself."
Listening to Lingya's words, Kotaro didn't notice anything wrong at first, but he always felt that something was wrong. Then he came to his senses.
"Keep it for yourself? Can't you destroy it?"
If this is really a curse, why should it be destroyed? Why does he keep it? Isn't he afraid of being attacked?
"That's a shame, isn't it? It is indeed a talisman, but it has been targeted by the devil."
This might be a test of love from the Kingdom of Light - of course Ling didn't say this.
This was just her guess. Maybe Ultraman wasn't that boring? Maybe it was really a conspiracy of evil aliens?
"As long as we can defeat the devil, don't you still want to give it to Saori?"
Having said that, it has become an ominous curse, and Kotaro couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable.
“I think we should not send it.”
"Have you prepared other birthday gifts? Besides, even if the amulet is destroyed, the monster itself will still exist, right? Running away won't solve the problem."
Perhaps moved by the words "escaping cannot solve the problem", Kotaro made a decision and took back the amulet.
"I understand. I will take care of that monster before Saori's birthday."
"Ancient Egyptian texts say that monsters will appear on full moon nights. I remember there will be a full moon tomorrow."
Kotaro didn't pay attention to the phase of the moon, but since Gaia said so, it must be correct.
Saori Shiratori's birthday is in these few days. If she wants to send out the amulet on her birthday, she must destroy the monster as soon as possible.
Watching Kotaro leave, Ling suddenly reflected on herself.
Mother of Ultra had entrusted Taro to her and asked her to train Taro. Was she too harsh on Kotaro?
But she really doesn't know how to train others. She has never been a teacher before. Suddenly this role was forced upon her, and she always felt that nothing she did was quite right.
I always feel it’s so troublesome.
When Kotaro returned to the headquarters, he thought he should report the matter of the devil to the captain.
Tomorrow night will be a full moon. If the devil Jillianma really appears, we should be prepared in advance.
But the captain wasn't there.
This is not surprising. Captain Asahina is often not at the headquarters due to his busy schedule, and sometimes the combat command is also under the charge of Vice Captain Araki.
Araki was lying on his back on the table, operating his mobile phone in his hand, and his fingers seemed to be moving very busy.
"Deputy Captain, is there any work?"
"Ah? Oh, Tou Kotaro you're back. It's okay. I'm playing games."
Can mobile phones also play games? Kotaro had never noticed this. In the past, he used mobile phones to work, take photos and record videos on the spot, and locate the location.
"You've never opened the mall on your phone, have you? You can download it there. But you can't delay your work just to play games."
Having said that, Araki's image at this time is very unconvincing.
Kotaro walked behind Araki and wanted to see what game he was talking about, but unexpectedly found that it was a scene of Ultraman fighting.
"Brother Seven?"
"elder brother?"
"No, I mean Ultraman Seven. Is this a record of Seven fighting monsters?"
The one fighting against Seven on the screen is the monster King Aire.
"This is a game. Look, I'm the one operating Seven."
Sure enough, Kotaro discovered that Seven on the screen was making movements in sync with the commands pressed by the vice-captain's fingers, and it was really the vice-captain who was operating.
Hey, he can even use an ice axe! But the vice-captain didn't grasp the timing well, and King Ailei dodged it. Then he got hit by the tail, which was electrified.
It feels quite interesting.
Kitajima and Nanyuan also came over.
"Eh? Vice Captain, are you playing Seven's story mode? How did you get through the first generation? In the end, Jetton was simply unkillable!"
If you don’t complete the first generation, you won’t be able to unlock Seven’s story.
"That one trillion-degree fireball caused too much damage. By the way, how many degrees does one trillion degrees mean?" Nanyuan asked a strange question.
"A million degrees, of course. Twice as much as the half-million-degree Spesium."
Trillion is a Western way of counting. In the East, the general practice is to use the four-digit system, such as ten thousand and hundred million.
The West is accustomed to the three-digit system: thousand, trillion, and gigabyte.
Thousands make trillions, and tens of thousands make hundreds of millions.
"I thought it was one trillion degrees." Bei Dao said. Unlike scientific counting, trillions and even trillions are also used in folk counting.
This unit is very confusing to use.
"One trillion degrees? When the fireball hit Team Kurt's headquarters, it didn't even collapse, but a trillion-degree solar system is gone!"
That's true. Although the Kurt team's building is sturdy, if it was really one trillion degrees, not even dust would have disappeared long ago.
"But even if it's one million degrees, it's still super powerful! It has a protective shield and can teleport! The first generation can't beat it at all!"
"Hey, don't you guys read the guide?" Araki said proudly, "Use Team Kurt and upgrade the 'Zero-Gravity Bullet'. When the first generation energy light flashes, as long as Jetton doesn't open the protective shield, it will be killed in one shot."
In the first generation, when there was no flashing light, the zero-gravity bullet could not be fired. It was a necessary plot.
And if Jetton opens the protective shield, the zero-gravity bullet will also be blocked.
If these two conditions are met, the extremely powerful Jetton can kill the character in one plot blow.
"Is there any other trick?"
