In Lingye's opinion, she represents the best part of humanity. So 'Love' is the name Lingye gave her. She loves the world and humanity so deeply that she protects this place for generations.
A noble person who is cursed for being untainted by the mud.
"The light of humanity?" This was the first time Kotaro had heard of such a thing. "Can humans seal Zoda with their own strength?"
It's unbelievable how terrifying Zoda is. No one knows it better than the Land of Light.
In order to destroy Zoda, Taro studied hard in the Land of Light, but he still hasn't learned the 'Miracle Ray of the Universe' that can absorb the power of his brothers.
Including the non-stop training now, everything is for the purpose of defeating Zoda.
But those ordinary humans did it?
Even if it was just a part of it, a death rule, it was enough to be a terrifying demon that could destroy stars. Humans sealed it more than a thousand years ago. It was useless to pray to gods and Buddhas. The only thing they could rely on was humans themselves.
Compared to the so-called 'miracle of the universe', this is the real miracle, right?
"If you want to meet Ai, I can take you to see her. But she's probably in the bath right now."
Even if you are wearing middle clothes, taking a bath is taking a bath.
But Kotaro felt that there was no need to investigate anymore.
The boat docked, and the mountains and fields of red spider lilies bloomed to the sky, marking the time of eternal encounter with the devil.
"Have a sweet dream."
The part-time girl Hell Girl disappeared before his eyes. Kotaro sat down, then lay down in the sea of flowers, his whole heart relaxed.
Of course, it was just a joke that Kotaro would be locked up for ten years, and Ling quickly let him leave.
This includes Captain Asahina. Unlike Kotaro, Asahina truly sees love.
Just like the legend, she was wearing a black kimono with colorful butterfly patterns, with long black hair down to her waist, like a beautifully carved Japanese doll. Her blood-red eyes seemed to be able to imprint into people's hearts.
But even if he saw the person himself, it would be meaningless for him to investigate.
Love does not answer any questions; it is just a program when it works after triggering the rules.
So Asahina also just stayed alone in the sea of red spider lilies for one night meaninglessly.
When the two woke up in the ZAT team, they were faced with teammates with dark circles under their eyes from not sleeping all night.
They both felt that they had slept very well. Their souls had visited the underworld and their bodies had gotten sufficient rest.
"How's it going, Captain?"
How? Asahina couldn't explain it. Although she had met the person involved in the "Hell Girl", she had no way to investigate, whether she was asking verbally or attacking her violently.
Asahina was sure that the other party was not human, but she had no idea how strong he was.
When he was on that small boat, he couldn't control his body at all. He could only be forced to sit there and then be sent to the other side full of red spider lilies. After he got ashore, Hell Girl disappeared.
So there is no question of 'attack'.
"Kotaro, what do you think?"
If I can't do it, then Kotaro should be able to do it, right? After all, he is different.
But to Asahina's disappointment, Kotaro, whom he had high hopes for, also shook his head.
"Sorry, Captain, I'm not sure either."
Even worse than the captain, he didn't even get to meet the Hell Girl and was received by a "part-time Hell Girl".
Although he knew the general situation, it was not convenient for him to tell the team members because Lingye told him directly.
"I just thought that Jigoku Shoujo probably didn't mean any harm."
"No ill intentions, is that how you judge it? I see, so that's it."
Asahina didn't ask what the basis of Kotaro's judgment was. Since he said so, she believed it. As long as it didn't cause harm to humans, there was nothing she could do but let it go.
ZAT is not afraid of fighting, but there is no need to deliberately provoke targets without clear hostility and make enemies everywhere.
That's stupid.
They have enough enemies already.
However, listening to the conversation between the two, Aragaki felt that sometimes the captain trusted Kotaro too much?
It’s obvious that this guy, who joined the team last, doesn’t seem to be very reliable.
"By the way, Captain. We just received a strange transmission."
Moriyama came over with a piece of printed paper, and she looked pretty good.
Everyone worked all night last night, but she was the only one who accidentally fell asleep while sitting on the table in the middle of the night. As a female team member, no one woke her up on purpose, so she had a good rest.
Moriyama was awakened by the sound of the fax machine near dawn, and the captain and Kotaro also woke up soon after.
"Strange communication? Where did it come from?"
"Well, that's what's strange. The communication is an internal line, which should be the internal communication line between us and the defense force, but I have never heard of this department. The other party claims to be the Underground Security Department. The content of the telegram said that there is a dangerous creature underground in Tokyo New Town."
"Underground Security Department? The Defense Forces have this department?" Not only Moriyama had never heard of it, but Deputy Captain Araki had also never heard of it.
Of course we have the army, navy, air force, and space force, but where are the armies underground?
Safety underground…underground!
Asahina thought she had an impression.
"Yes, that's true. Yes, there is such a department. They said there are dangerous creatures under the New Town? Dangerous creatures, do you mean monsters?"
Araki took the fax and looked at it carefully.
"It should be referring to the monster. It says: It is still a larva in the process of gestation and may pose a threat. Does it mean that the monster is still hatching? But Captain, why didn't I hear that the Defense Forces have underground forces?"
Of course Araki didn't know, and even Asahina had only heard others mention it.
This other person refers to Captain Long of the TAC team.
Former Captain Ryugoro of the Ultra Beast Attack Team returned to the Defense Force after TAC was disbanded. This "Underground Security Division" team was established under the impetus of Captain Ryu.
To say that they belong to the Defense Force is actually not correct, because the members of the "Underground Security Department" are not Defense Force soldiers, and they are not even humans - humans in a narrow sense. In a broad sense, they have the same ancestors as humans on the ground.
After listening to what Captain Asahina said, everyone understood.
"Captain, are you saying that the other party is an underground person? The underground person who drove Teleston to attack Tokyo in the files of the Kurt team? Why would they help humans?"
Yes, why would they help humans? Not only Araki couldn't figure it out, but so did Asahina.
They were clearly enemies in the past and had invaded Tokyo, causing many of their clansmen to be exterminated. The two sides should have been fighting to the death long ago.
The TAC team's enthusiasm is truly incredible. If you were in their shoes, would you order a rescue?
While still fighting the super beast, he was unable to take care of himself and it was already difficult for him to rescue strangers, let alone rescue his former enemies?
"That kind of belief is truly a more powerful weapon than guns and ammunition."
And now, the blessing of the TAC team has been inherited by them. The underground people have become their eyes to protect the underground.
"Everyone hasn't slept all night, let's take a rest. Moriyama, you just woke up, right?"
There were still traces of sleep where his face was pressed against his arms, and there was still saliva at the corners of his mouth.
Moriyama wiped his face embarrassedly.
"Moriya, Kotaro, both of you come with me to investigate the new town in Tokyo."
Generally speaking, communicators rarely go out on field missions. However, Asahina had long discovered that this communicator in her team was very talented, especially in flying skills, which Minamihara and Kitajima could not compare with.
"Captain, please take me with you." Araki said, "It's just one night without sleep, it's nothing. In the past, on the battlefield, I could stay awake for three days and still be very energetic!"
"This is the captain's order! Xiuping, you are the vice-captain, do you want to take the lead in disobeying me? We are just going to investigate. If we really find a threat, you will have the chance to fight next."
Araki was a little embarrassed to be called by the captain's name. But what the captain said was true. If there really was a monster there, he would be the first to rush to the front line to fight.
"Besides, do you think you are still a 20-year-old boy? And you haven't slept for three days."
"Ah? But I'm only thirty years old, and only twenty-nine in my entire life!"
Is thirty old?
The new town is located in Kita-ku, Tokyo. As it is located in the northernmost part of Tokyo, it is one of the most remote and poorest districts among the 23 districts. The reason why it is called "one of the" is because there is also Mitani District. After the Mitani District is abolished in the future, Kita-ku will be the most remote place without a doubt.
This piece of land in Xinzhen was a village a few decades ago. After ten years of development, the village disappeared and the concrete jungle turned it into a concentrated residential area. There are residential buildings everywhere, so much so that even greenery is almost invisible.
It is worth mentioning that the real estate in the North District was built by Oshima Group in the past.
But now it has nothing to do with Ling, because in the past two years, she has gradually sold a lot of real estate, including the real estate companies registered under her name, and the shareholders have long been replaced.
On the other hand, Mr. Steel Stick from Magni's company grew bigger and bigger after he got Gaia's consent to use Magni's technology to undertake projects on Earth.
The projects we have undertaken have also expanded from the neighboring mainland to the island country.
By printing atoms directly from quarks, any building can be built automatically. The cost is shockingly low, and the speed is even more shocking.
At least now the speed at which Tokyo Monster collapses houses is far slower than the speed at which they are built.
A small portion of Ganggun's company's shares was given to the Oshima Group, which is now actually controlled by Lingye, although Lingye did not want to take it over at first.
But she refused to accept it, which made Ganggun even more worried. He was not worried about the Earth, but the Galactic Federation. After all, his use of local technology on Earth was indeed skirting the laws of the Galactic Federation.
There is no need for Ling to do anything. As long as her name is there, the Galactic Federation will not dare to trouble him.
So in the end Ling had no choice but to accept that little bit of shares with reluctance.
Not much, really a small part, only 49%. This was the kind of thing that Ganggun begged her to accept, and if she didn't accept it, he would lie there and not get up.
With the amount of projects currently contracted by Gangbang’s company and the annual profit dividends, it would not be a problem for a company like Sanmu Entertainment to buy dozens of them.
Sometimes Ling also feels that money is really meaningless. In order for it to have meaning, it must be spent.
Then invest.
Games, movies, music, comics——
Anything is fine as long as there is a good idea. Swap meaningless numbers for something fun, interesting and meaningful.
Make the world a little more lively.
