Yes, that day, he also chose to join the 'Association'.
He didn't want to live in ignorance, to be protected in ignorance, to lose in ignorance, and not even to allow the memory of sadness to be retained.
"By the way, Mr. Ikki, we have already checked the situation you consulted about before."
A few days ago, Gu Men told Kainar about his medical examination. Kainar was very powerful.
Gu Men also knew that there was another more powerful "young lady" who was the real leader of this association. Unfortunately, she rarely appeared.
Even though the department that performed the physical examination on him was truly mysterious, Gu Men had reason to believe that the 'Association' should be able to find out something.
Sure enough, the answer came in just two days.
"The department that performed the medical examination on you is called TLT, which is the code name for the 'International Liberation Agency', a defensive military organization secretly established by governments around the world. You were taken to a subordinate medical institution of the Far East Branch for examination."
"TLT? Is it the official organization that exterminates alien beasts?"
"You can understand it this way. In your Kanto region, the division that fights against alien beasts is called the Night Raid Team, and it is under the leadership of TLT. Is it okay to deduct 20 merit points from you for this information?"
"Of course, no problem." Only 20 points, Gu Men felt it was too cheap. After all, it was a global organization, and investigating such a mysterious organization only cost these points.
The so-called merits are the rewards they get after completing the mission assigned by the "Association" to eliminate alien beasts.
Anything can be exchanged.
The most intuitive way is to convert it directly into Japanese yen. One point of merit is clearly marked as 1 yen.
Besides that, it can exchange for anything it wants, including medicines that can cure any terminal illness, weapons that are too advanced for humans, etc. I have even seen the so-called "Pengshan Immortal Medicine" and "Yashikani no Magatama".
The former is said to be able to extend life by a hundred years, while the latter is a mythical artifact.
And he suspected that, given the incredible performance of the 'Association' so far, it might be true.
Yesterday, he killed the alien beast in Shinjuku and received a 50-point reward. Yes, it was the so-called "gas explosion" reported in the news not long ago. It was the alien beast that was killed by Komon himself.
Including the previous balance, he already had more than 200 merit points in his account.
After completing this mission, if he participates in one or two more missions, he can choose to purchase a treatment service called "repairing any injuries or diseases in the whole body, including terminal illnesses." Lizi's health has not been very good, and the hospital can't find any reason. They only know that all indicators are not right.
Things that cannot be identified or treated by modern medicine are always troublesome.
He believed that the power of 'Association' could restore Lizi to health.
Since Gu Men had made up his mind to take on this task, Kainar said nothing more.
"Please select your equipment for this battle."
"Let's go with the same one from before. The 'Ace Armor'."
"Mr. Ikki, I suggest you buy a set of 'Ace Armor'. Each time you rent it, the merits you spend are almost enough for you to buy a set. As long as you buy it, we will provide a three-year warranty service, and damage in battle can be repaired free of charge."
This "Ace Armor" is not the one that the Yabo people used. That set has been given to Nan Xizi. This is made by Kainaer using spiritual materialization. The same process, even more optimized. After all, Kainaer's technological content is higher than that of Yabo.
In addition, Kainar also made the first generation armor, Seven armor, Jack armor, and Taro armor.
As she had boasted before, this technology was effortless for her. It turned out that this was not boasting, but the truth.
The overall design of different armors remains the same, but their appearance and preferred combat equipment are slightly different.
That being said, each rental requires 10 merit points, and indeed only 20 times is enough to buy a set. Buying is much more cost-effective than renting.
However, paying 200 merits for a set still seemed a bit extravagant to Gu Men. He would wait until he cured Li Zi's body.
In that case, Kainaer said no more.
"I wish you good luck in martial arts!"
Gu Men chose to quit and returned to the rescue team's toilet room.
It still smells oppressive. It's not the smell of a toilet, it's the smell of the world itself.
The world is sick, it is infected by alien beasts.
There was a box next to Komon's hand, the size of a briefcase. It appeared suddenly, but after seeing it several times, Komon was no longer surprised. Inside was the folded Ace armor.
'Association', either aliens or gods.
Incredibly, Gu Men, who had received many years of materialistic education, actually preferred the latter possibility in his heart.
A reservoir in the Kanto region of the island country
What people don’t know is that there is a huge military base underground in this reservoir.
TLT-J third base, Fortress of Liberty.
And in this base, in a room that was still classified even in the already secret fortress of freedom, there were computer screens everywhere. A hand suddenly pressed the alarm.
The alarm bell is mastering.
"Assistant Officer Oshima, did you see it again?"
There were two people in the room, a young man in a white coat and a little girl who was no older than a junior high school student.
A young man, or boy, Yu Kiraraze is 17 years old this year, and is also a minor. He is the combat staff of the Night Raid Team, because he has the unique ability to predict the location where the alien beasts will appear.
But his predictive ability is no match for the other girl.
Oshima Reiya, although much younger, is Kirarasawa's senior, a 'special talent' recruited by TLT, and began serving as an assistant officer two years ago.
Her foresight is better than radar, and once a monster appears, she can immediately tell all its characteristics and weaknesses, as if she has seen it countless times.
Past battles were easily won as a result, greatly reducing human casualties.
Facts have proven time and again that the top leaders of TLT completely regard her as a treasure given to mankind by the Earth after darkness descended on the planet.
In this base, her position is not the highest, but it is the most special, and her security level is even higher than that of Manager Matsunaga.
Able to access all information and authorized to issue all combat orders.
Captain Kazukura of the night attack team is the first person in charge of the on-site battle, while Miss Oshima, nominally the assistant officer of the three TLT cadres Togo, Koyanagi, and Soma, is actually the first person in charge of the battlefield.
Both Captain Wakura and Manager Matsunaga had to obey her orders. She could even directly command the Memory Police Unit and the Biochemical Response Unit if necessary.
He is truly the first of the three commanders.
Considering that the three commanders usually only vote on major decisions and do not directly interfere with the specific work of TLT, Oshima Rei can be said to be the de facto top leader of the Freedom Fortress.
This time too.
None of TLT's sensors detected the alien beast's fluctuations, and Kirarasawa, who also had predictive abilities but was far inferior to Miss Oshima, also did not notice anything.
But since Oshima took the initiative to press the alarm and said there was an alien monster, then there must be an alien monster.
After the alarm, the night attack team assembled within a minute.
Ling also appeared in the Night Raid Team's operations hall in the form of a projection. This was not her ability, but the Night Raid Team's technology.
"An alien appeared at the Suehirocho gas station in Akihabara, Tokyo. Its attack level is C3. 95% of its body is water, with some ethanol. It likes to suck gasoline, so it is recommended to burn it at high temperature. This alien can climb along the walls, so please pay close attention to the walls and ceiling on both sides when searching. Over, the above is a combat suggestion. Please ask Captain Kazura to formulate a specific combat plan."
"Understood! Thank you very much, Assistant Officer Oshima."
After issuing the order, Ling breathed a sigh of relief. She had already issued the same combat order through the association, and earlier.
The alien beasts are still very weak now, and I believe the members of the association can deal with them.
Issued to the Night Raid Team just in case.
As for why, it was because she didn't trust the Night Raid Team. To be more precise, she didn't trust the TLT. Even though she was the de facto top commander of the team.
This is not the first time I have dealt with TLT. I have retraced my time more than a hundred times in the past. This team is really complicated. Betrayer and dark giants appear one after another.
Therefore, Ling also hopes that there will be such a force among the people that can complement TLT and jointly deal with the darkness of the world.
Aliens and Dark Giants are not enemies of TLT, but enemies of all mankind.
Chapter 501: Alien Beast
Being able to detect alien beasts is not Lingye's ability.
This is all thanks to Kenar.
The lost battleship Sword Breaker is currently in Earth orbit, synchronously hovering over the island nation. It's just that all human monitoring methods cannot detect it.
Compared to TLT's detection technology for alien beast vibration waves, Sword Breaker's technology is two or three levels higher than that of other creatures. A generation gap of tens of thousands of years of civilization development.
If necessary, it can complete a full scan of the Earth every second.
As for why she knew so much about alien beasts, she had come into contact with these monsters so many times in her more than 170 reincarnations that she could recite the files of each monster by heart.
During these more than 170 times, she had joined the front-line team of the Night Raid Team, became a member of the TLT management, participated in the development of the "Son of Prometheus" project, fought against alien beasts alone, pretended to be a "visitor" to contact humans, and tried too many methods.
She even disguised herself as an invading alien, trying to contact and join the 'Unknown Hand' to gather intelligence.
But each time ended in failure.
During one of these attempts, she tried to free the River of Oblivion, but that was the fastest time the world was destroyed. She only stayed in that timeline for less than two weeks before she had to go back in time again.
Really, she had tried every possible method she could think of, and each time the result was despair.
Then, when facing the devil Satan, she suddenly realized something.
The previous 172 times, she had fought for this world. So is it possible that defeating the source of destruction cannot rely on external help, but requires the efforts of the humans in this world themselves?
Hasn't Kotaro already proved it?
Humans must fight the root of destruction themselves, and Gaia cannot replace them. Her intervention will only increase the weight of the two sides.
So this time she tried a different approach.
I still remember that when she was 9 years old, Beidou invited her to join the TAC team. Now she is 14 years old. Two years ago, she came to this time and space and really joined a similar organization.
At a gas station, a truck is refueling.
It was already night time and the gas station employee was a little sleepy, as was the truck driver.
It is difficult for people to have an accurate sense of time when they are sleepy, but even so, the driver felt that the time to fill the gas tank was a bit long. Then he walked to the gas pump and looked at the number displayed on the tank. He thought that he might be sleepy and confused, and his eyesight was not working well.
"Nine hundred liters? Hey, man, are you kidding me? I can't have that much in my tank. I didn't put any gas in it at all! Could it be that there is no gas in the pump and the numbers are idling?"
"That's impossible. How could this happen?" The staff at the gas station didn't understand either, but it was true that a truck like this wouldn't be full even after filling up more than 900 liters of gas.
Judging from the style of the truck, it is not a large container, but just an ordinary 4-meter small truck, with a maximum fuel tank of 6 liters.
But no oil leaked out.
He wanted to get under the car's fuel tank to see if there was an oil leak, but a voice stopped him.
"Don't get close, it's dangerous there, get out of here!"
