Chapter 409 Kawahara is not at home
……
After Kawahara put away the apples, he pushed open the iron door of the building in the backyard and saw the factory building that the underground passage of the nursery would lead to.
This was once the secret research base of the Wudao family.
This is the place where the previous head of the Wudao family, Wudao Tianshu, cultivated "human resources" through inhumane means in order to serve the World Tree Foundation.
Zhu Yuetengguo is an agent who was trained here, and Zhan Ji Lingma is actually a member of the nursery. Because of his outstanding scientific research ability, he was incorporated into the World Tree Consortium.
But since there are children with outstanding talents, there will naturally be mediocre ones. Those children who are not selected will take another path - experimental subjects.
The factory building connected to the basement was full of traces of illegal experiments.
Kawahara briefly glanced at the abandoned medical equipment, walked down the fence stairs to the basement, pushed open a door inside, and saw a dense field of Helm's underworld plants.
There was also an alien in the corner eating fruit.
The reason why Zhu Yuetengguo hates the World Tree Group and the Wudao Family is because many of her friends who grew up with her in the nursery were used as experimental subjects to develop the power of the underworld of Heim because they were "unqualified".
So she kept waiting for the opportunity to take revenge, until she accidentally got the Apple lock seeds.
Unfortunately, the revenge plan failed halfway.
Kawahara looked at the research room which had become a small forest, and directly cut a crack, then threw all the plants and several aliens wandering there into the underworld of Helheim.
“Almost there~”
After cleaning up, Kawahara clapped his hands, left the factory, and took out the apple lock seed to look at it.
He then pressed the lock.
"Ringo (Apple)!"
An unusual power burst out from the lock. Just as Kawahara was feeling it, a light and leisurely voice came from the factory.
"This lock seed is only a semi-finished product. If you use it lightly, it may backfire."
"..."
Kawahara turned his head and saw Zhan Ji Ling Ma leaning against the iron gate with his arms folded.
Zhan Ji Lingma had a strange smile on his face. He was not surprised at all that Kawahara was able to successfully obtain the apple locked seeds. It was just that the speed was a little faster than he expected.
"Will it backfire?"
Kawahara raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled: "In that case, you have to be careful here!"
"Hmm?" Zhan Ji Lingma seemed a little confused.
After all, the person who will be hit back should be the user, so what does it have to do with him as a bystander?
And Kawahara has already taken out the Sengoku Driver.
"Lock On!"
He loaded the apple lock seed into the Zhan Ji drive, and instantly a burst of electric current burst out, filled with a domineering destructive power.
But Kawahara even used the Aguru Belt, so why would he be afraid of a small apple?
So, under the slightly urgent gaze of Sengoku Lingma, Kawahara directly put the Sengoku driver connected with the apple lock on his waist, and the bright red apple armor fell onto him from the crack.
ka ka ka-
In the flickering electric light, the opened apple armor was tightly stitched to the dark body, and a destructive aura burst out!
The surrounding gravel and grass were blown away by the air waves, and Zhan Jiling's horse, who was not far away, was staggered a little by the strong wind, but the smile on his face was extremely fanatical.
The data generated by the War Drivers and Locking Seeds can all be collected by the World Tree Consortium's system.
Zhan Ji Lingma is looking forward to someone using Apple Seed Lock in order to obtain more valid data and create a real forbidden power - artificial golden fruit!
Different people can show different power of the lock seed. Obviously, the Apple lock seed used by this person is also more powerful!
"How about it?"
Sengoku Lingma couldn't wait and even took the initiative to move in front of Kawahara, looking at the apple armor on his body with burning eyes.
Kawahara slowly raised his hand and clenched his fist, and the diffuse electric light was forcibly suppressed, but there seemed to be a strange feeling lingering around him.
"It doesn't look like much..."
Kawahara, who was speaking calmly, suddenly paused.
His body shook noticeably, because a strange picture flashed before his eyes. However, before Kawahara could see clearly, his whole body was violently pulled away by a powerful force!
Swah——
The apple armor on his body suddenly disappeared, and Kawahara lost consciousness and fell downwards.
"what?"
Zhan Ji Lingma, who was staring at him closely, asked in confusion, then took a step forward and supported the man.
Seeing Kawahara who didn't seem to be attacked but did have no reaction, Sengoku Lingma raised an eyebrow. He was about to check the status of the apple lock seed, but he saw that the lock seed disappeared directly from the Sengoku drive.
"how……"
……
"what happened?"
Kawahara stood still in a daze.
In front of him was not a nursery in the wilderness, but the middle of a road that seemed to be an overpass, and opposite him stood another warrior wearing apple armor.
"What's this?!"
Just when Kawahara was feeling confused about this, a girl's scream came from behind him.
Kawahara turned around when he heard the voice and saw Kuzunoha Kota looking at him in surprise - and Kouji Mai standing next to him.
Seeing the two people appearing here, Kawahara vaguely understood the current situation.
This is not the Gaim world he was just in.
……
……
into the night.
Wudao Mansion.
After working for a day at the World Tree Foundation, Wu Daoguihu went home after get off work and rubbed his brows tiredly. But before entering the villa, he seemed to vaguely see a figure around the corner of the wall.
Remembering that a cleanup team of the World Tree Foundation was attacked and even Sid was injured, Wudao Guihu immediately became alert.
"who?!"
During the management meeting today, it was speculated that the purpose of the attacker behind the scenes might be to retaliate against the World Tree Group, so Wu Daoguitora might also be among those attacked.
However, Wu Daoguihu is not afraid of the man behind the scenes, and even hopes that the other party will find him earlier.
This way he can get rid of that guy quickly!
Wu Daoguihu walked towards the corner with an expressionless face, while reaching into his suit pocket, ready to take out the locked seeds and fight back.
However, when he approached quietly, he saw a girl with her head lowered leaning against the corner of the wall.
"Ivy fruit?"
Wu Daoguihu exclaimed in surprise.
Zhu Yuetengguo's body trembled slightly when she heard the voice, then she slowly raised her head to look at him. Her usual gentle smile seemed a little bitter at this moment.
"Gui Hu...I want to see you." "..."
The reason why Wudao Guihu was in a good mood this morning was because he met Zhu Yue Tengguo, the little maid who took care of him at home for a period of time when he was a child, last night.
The two of them could barely be considered childhood sweethearts.
When she was young, Zhu Yuetengguo specially made apple pie (dessert) for Wu Daoguihu who had no appetite. Therefore, Wu Daoguihu had a very good impression of this girl, but she was transferred away later.
So such a reunion is naturally worth celebrating!
But the Red Moon Vine Fruit that I found again tonight didn’t seem to have the same joy as last night’s reunion.
Wu Dao Gui Hu brought people into the villa. He looked at Zhu Yue Tengguo, who was sitting on the sofa with his head down and silent, and tried to find words.
"What's wrong? You seem to be in some trouble. Would you mind telling me?" Wu Daogui Hu asked seriously.
Zhu Yuetengguo slowly raised her head and looked at him: "Gui Hu, I may have to stay away from Zemei City, and I may never come back here."
Upon hearing this, Guihu Wudao was slightly stunned.
He sat on the sofa opposite and asked with concern: "Why did you make this decision suddenly? Is there any problem at work? Maybe I can..."
"no!"
Zhu Yuetengguo suddenly interrupted him with some emotion: "I just don't want to stay in this city anymore!"
Wu Daoguihu was stunned again.
If the reason for wanting to leave is simply to get away from this city, then perhaps it is because this place has hurt her.
Although Wu Daoguihu didn't understand what happened to her, he also respected Zhu Yuetengguo's choice.
"if it is like this……"
At this time, Guihu Wudao was at a loss for words.
Zhu Yuetengguo suddenly said in an ambiguous tone: "This is not a very good place. The World Tree Consortium is like a rotten fruit and is no longer worth helping. Gui Hu, you are a very kind person. Do you want to... leave with me?"
Wu Dao Gui Hu was stunned again.
He stared at the Red Moon Vine Fruit in a daze, and when he came to his senses, he seriously refused: "Sorry, I have to stay here!"
Zhu Yuetengguo looked at him hesitantly, the look in her eyes became very complicated at this moment, she seemed to want to smile, but in the end she failed to give the last smile.
"I'm sorry... for causing you trouble."
After saying this, Zhu Yuetengguo suddenly stood up, turned around and walked quickly towards the door.
Seeing this, Wu Daoguihu also subconsciously stood up and took two steps after him: "You..."
"Mr. Takato..."
Zhu Yuetengguo paused and looked back at him: "You must be carrying something very important, but is it really worth it for such a fate?"
"It doesn't matter whether it's worth it or not. As a member of the Wudao family, these are my unavoidable duties. I will also give everything for what I believe to be right!" Wudao Guihu said with a firm look.
"..."
Zhu Yuetengguo stopped talking, looked at him deeply, turned around and left without hesitation.
Wu Daoguihu watched her back disappear into the darkness of the night, then lowered his head slightly. Although he still didn't understand what happened, he knew that from now on he would never have the chance to see Zhu Yue Teng Guo again.
Whether it was the other party's choice to stay away from Sawame City, or his future choices - they no longer had this opportunity.
Takatora Wudao sighed, and at this moment, an email from Tokyo popped up on the computer on the desk.
He paused, then walked over and opened the email he received every night.
The email contained a few pictures and a trip report.
——Mitsushi Wudao.
……
……
The next day.
Zhan Ji Lingma's personal laboratory.
In the dimly lit room, a video call was playing on the computer screen on his desk, and opposite him was Sid lying on the hospital bed and Minato Yoko holding the computer for him.
"We'll take action in the next two days?"
Cid said with a bad look on his face: "My current condition is not suitable for fighting. At least I have to wait until my injuries are fully healed! After all, Zhan Yue has become even more difficult to deal with!"
The reasons why it is difficult to deal with are well known.
However, Zhan Ji Ling Ma, who was facing away from the computer, shook his head and said, "No, this is a rare opportunity. We must solve it before Gui Hu finds out about our movements. Otherwise, it will be troublesome if he finds the golden fruit in advance."
Upon hearing that the golden fruit might be picked by Guihu Wudao, Sid stopped protesting and just asked with a puzzled look.
"So you have confidence already?"
"Of course~"
Zhan Ji Lingma, who was busy around the experimental table, finally turned around, picked up a "Cherry Energy Lock Seed" from the desktop and placed it in front of the computer camera.
When Sid saw this energy lock, his eyes fixed. Then, Zhan Ji Lingma placed another peach energy lock in front of the screen.
When Minato Yoko saw this, she realized that this lock was prepared for her.
After all, the new Genesis Drive was developed not long ago, and the energy locks that can match it cannot be transformed simply by picking them up from the underworld of Helheim.
The current energy locks were all modified by Sengoku Ryoma himself. They can exert the power of the fruit to a greater extent. If the three of them use this power together to deal with "Zangetsu", it will be enough.
More importantly, Zhan Ji Lingma then took out a special green lock seed from his pocket and shook it towards the screen.
——Honeydew melon is better than lock seeds!
——This battle is won!
The three of them had all witnessed how powerful Zangetsu Katsuro was in the previous battle against Gaim, and they had thought that their plans would be delayed because of Wudao Takatora's new power.
Unexpectedly, the matter was resolved so quickly.
Sid even laughed directly: "I didn't expect that naive guy Wudao Guihu really trusts you, then there will be no problem!"
Zhan Ji Ling Ma said with a smile: "I will have to ask you for help when the time comes. As long as this matter is resolved, both the World Tree Consortium and this world will become what we all want!"
Hearing this, a sinister smile appeared on Sid's face.
A saved world has never been the result they want. Only by completely breaking the existing order can they truly dominate the world!
——Just like the overlords in the forest!
After hanging up the video call, Zhan Ji Lingma turned around with his usual leisurely smile on his face and looked at the man lying on the experimental table.
"This is really interesting..."
Zhan Ji Ling Ma picked up a document and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that after re-investigating the remains of the "Overlord Alien", I found that some of them had personally created something that could replace the "Golden Fruit". Then I just need to analyze the data..."
Zhan Ji Lingma paused slightly when he muttered to himself here, then leaned closer to the experimental table, staring at the unconscious person with burning eyes.
"I can create 'God' bit by bit with my own hands!"
Although the "Forbidden Apple" disappeared inexplicably, enough data has been collected, not to mention the information found in the underworld of Helheim. Zhan Ji Lingma has the confidence to complete his research.
"So……"
Sengoku Lingma looked at Kawahara lying on the experimental table with a smile: "How much of a surprise can your power bring me?"
Possessing power comparable to that of the Golden Fruit...
