She was an optimistic child who lived in a war-torn country but never resented anyone. She taught Himeya how to fish and play the grass flute. The two of them clearly did not speak the same language and could only understand each other's names, but for Himeya, no one knew the real him better than Sera.
It would be nice to continue living like that, letting go of everything and returning to the mountains with Sera.
But Himeya is still a war correspondent, and when he heard the sound of war again, he went to the battlefield again. He asked Sera to hide and not follow him, but he forgot that Sera could not understand his language at all.
At that time, Sera just wanted to come to him.
It is a story that is neither tortuous nor interesting, but for Jun Himeya, it is a nightmare that he can never get out of.
Even now, he thought he had become strong, thinking he had become powerful with the power of Nexus, but when he saw Sera again, he realized that he had not changed at all.
He is not a hero, but still a sinner who tortures himself and begs for forgiveness.
Night raid team, the shrill alarm sounded again after a week.
When Wakura ordered the assembly, he found that Komon and Himeya were not there. They were on vacation.
"A trace amount of alien beast vibration waves appeared near Ueno Zoo in Tokyo."
"A trace amount? Is it a small alien beast?"
Then it's not a big threat. Ordinary equipment can handle it.
In the past two years, most of the alien beasts that appeared were small, but in the past two or three months, giant alien beasts that are fifty or sixty meters tall have appeared frequently, and people even began to miss the small alien beasts of the past.
"No, it's not confirmed yet. This alien beast has strong interference. In addition, the signals of Himeya and Komon are also nearby."
Upon hearing this, Hekura called out a few times, but received no response from Himeya and Komon.
"Has the signal been blocked? I think I know who the enemy is this time. A three-headed canine alien beast, codenamed Garuberos. It's not a small alien beast, but a giant alien beast with the ability to interfere with signals and create hypnotic hallucinations!"
Chapter 556: Illusion
[Dear visitors, due to a serious accident in the zoo, a fierce beast escaped. Please follow the instructions of the staff or leave the zoo as soon as possible according to the safety exit signs. ]
An emergency evacuation broadcast suddenly sounded in the originally peaceful Ueno Zoo.
Gu Men stood up in surprise.
The beast escaped? No, this familiar way of dispersing must be the appearance of a strange beast!
Kotobukiya was very surprised why he was not notified. If there were alien beasts, the Night Raid Team should have recalled all the members immediately.
But when he took out the communicator, he found that there was no signal at all. It was not that the headquarters did not call, but that he could not receive the call from the night raid team.
Here again, and Ueno Zoo again. Last time it was because of Riko as Faust, so what about this time?
Gu Men made up his mind.
If the darkness is still staring at Lizi, the redeemed Lizi, and this beautiful thing that seems like a fairy tale has become a reality, then Gu Men will never allow anyone to destroy it again.
That time, Lizi and her family met with misfortune without Gumen's knowledge, but now, she is right in front of him.
Even if it costs his life, Gu Men will never back down.
"Follow me, Lizi!"
Gu Men took Li Zi's hand and ran towards the zoo exit while the girl was stunned.
It was their first time holding hands. Lizi had never been physically close to the opposite sex before. She thought she would reject him, but she didn't. Gumen's hand gave her a sense of security.
At first, it was Komon who pulled her to run, and soon, Lizi started running by herself.
I can’t remember how long it has been since I last ran to my heart’s content. I ran until I was out of breath.
"Gu Men...Gu Men, stop for a moment. I can't run anymore."
Gu Men stopped because they had already run to the zoo entrance.
He thought they were going to be attacked, by aliens, or something. But they weren't.
There were many policemen at the door maintaining order, as well as familiar black-clad staff members who were the memory police.
The communicator rang, and Gu Men looked down and found that the signal blockade had disappeared. He and Li Zi had walked out of the blockade.
So, the enemy is not targeting them?
"Captain, I'm Ikki Komon."
"Gumen, where are you now?"
"It's right outside the west gate of the zoo. I'm with Lizi."
"Let Saita Riko leave. The enemy's target this time is not her. People from other departments will protect her. You wait where you are. Goroki and the others will come to join you."
The target is not Lizi? Then who is it?
Himeya Jun was running in the forest, chasing after Sera in front of him but he couldn't catch up.
Just like Xia Tian's "Chasing Shadow", no matter how fast he ran, Sera was always farther away and never closed the distance.
Everything was quiet. There were no birds or insects chirping in the woods. There was only the sound of his hurried footsteps and the laughter coming from Sera in front.
The girl's laughter was originally as sweet as a silver bell, but it sounded a little strange when echoing in the empty forest.
At some point, Gu Men stopped.
Because the girl in front also stopped. The laughter disappeared, as if it had never existed.
At this moment, Sera looked around anxiously as if she was looking for someone.
The surrounding environment was somewhat familiar. Himeya Jun could clearly identify the characteristics of the surrounding Southeast Asian woods. This was not an island country. Himeya Jun had stayed in this forest for more than a year.
In the years that followed, this place appeared in Himeya Jun's nightmares countless times. This was the place where Sera died!
"allow!"
Just like the scene that had reappeared countless times in her nightmares, the girl put her hand to her mouth and shouted his name.
The two armies were fighting, and she wanted to take Jun back to the simple but safe hut. She didn't know what a war correspondent was, but she knew that the unarmed Himeya was in great danger here.
"Sera, I'm here Sera!"
But no matter how much Ji Yajun shouted, Sera did not hear his voice and kept shouting over there.
The only thing they could understand was each other's name, so apart from "quasi", Sera could not say anything else.
Himeya almost thought he was back to that day. But the warmth in his chest brought him back to his senses and he took out the flashing "Evolution Truster". It flickered, like a heartbeat.
"Sera is dead!" He pointed the Evolution Truster at 'Sera', "Who are you?"
Sera stopped shouting, she stopped and looked at Ji Ya, smiling happily.
"Yes, I'm already dead. You killed me, for sure."
Facing the evolution truster, the girl stood there without resistance.
That was an illusion, of course, because Sera didn't speak Japanese at all.
But the way she looked, the way she sounded, when she said in this way what Himeya already knew, Himeya could not stop the guilt surging in his heart.
What she said was true.
In the dense forest, several dark shadows approached from behind Himeya Jun. Himeya, whose attention was being diverted by Sera, did not notice. Like wild animals hunting in a pack, they surrounded Himeya Jun from different directions.
Meanwhile, the night raid team had arrived at the scene.
"Galberos, the three-headed dog of hell." Hekura pondered the name secretly.
It is the monster guarding the underworld in Greek mythology, or translated as Cerberus, it is just a transliteration, there is no difference.
Legend has it that this was the last of the twelve trials of Hercules, and that the gatekeeper of the underworld only allowed the dead to enter the River Styx, guarding the boundary between life and death.
This name refers to the appearance of this alien beast, a three-headed vicious dog. The assistant officer said that it can create hallucinations and make people fall into illusions without knowing it.
In addition, it has the ability to manipulate corpses. It kills humans and makes them into puppets. Just like the legendary ghosts, they obey its orders like puppets.
It is terrifying enough that it can breathe fire, and is one of the strongest alien beasts the Night Raid Team has encountered so far.
The assistant officer told them that the weakness of this alien beast was its eyes, and that it was the ability of its eyes that created the illusion. However, it was not easy for an alien beast that could create illusions to accurately attack the opponent's eyes.
Mizoroki and Saijo jumped directly from the Eagle wearing armor. The Ultra Armor released auxiliary power tail flames, allowing them to glide gracefully in the air.
"Gorumi, Imon is at the west gate of the park. After you meet up, you will be in charge of commanding the battle on the ground. The target of the alien beast is likely to be Himeya, so you must ensure Himeya's safety as soon as possible."
Before leaving, He Cang gave the order and handed over the command of the frontline battlefield. This was also a helpless move because the communicator had lost its effect after entering the range of the forest zoo.
Wakura was unable to remotely command the operations on the Eagle, so he had to hand over the command to Goroki who was fighting on the front line.
This isn't such a bad thing.
In the matter of hunting alien beasts, Kazukura admitted that his ability was inferior to that of Mizoroki. He had known this for a long time, and as the captain, he was not as good as his vice-captain.
It's not about physical fitness, fighting ability, shooting accuracy, etc., but something more specific. On-the-spot judgment, or in other words, a kind of judgment that goes beyond the five senses and is closer to intuition.
In several previous battles, Goroki made up for the omissions in his orders and always stepped forward in times of crisis to complete combat missions perfectly.
Mizoroki's decisions always proved to be right in the end. He has a special ability, perhaps related to the R7 factor value during the physical examination. He is a natural alien hunter.
Nishijo Nagi is also 'that kind of person', and then there are Ikki Komon and Jun Himeya who recently joined the team, they are the same.
As evidence, they can all wear Ultra Armor. But Ultra Armor has no reaction to Hekura at all, which is really frustrating.
"Sometimes I think that the position of captain of the Night Raid Team A Group is actually more suitable for Mizoroku than me. I should find an opportunity to be an instructor in Group B and Group C and train the members of the reserve team."
"What are you talking about, Captain?" Hearing his nagging, Hiraki Shiori smiled and said, "You are the captain of the Night Raid Team recognized by me, Hiraki Shiori. Cheer up. What do you think, Ishihori?"
"Ah? Me?" Ishihori, who was operating the Eagle seriously, didn't think much after hearing this, "I also think Captain Kazura is more suitable. He is a person worthy of respect."
He Cang shook his head. He was not joking, he really believed it. But now was a battlefield, it was not appropriate to say this.
When a group of beast-like monsters pounced on Ji Yajun, he finally came to his senses and realized that they were all human beings, or at least their bodies had once belonged to humans.
Himeya wasn't sure whether he should pay them with his bare hands or just use his guns.
But the monsters were extremely fast, some were running, and some were even running on all fours, they were beasts different from humans.
At this moment, lightning flashed.
In a short moment, two of the "beasts" were knocked away. Then there was another flash of lightning, and the remaining three also fell to the ground.
Everything happens in an instant.
Himeya Jun thought it was some kind of electric shock weapon of the Night Raid Team, but when he turned his head to look in the direction where the electric light came from, he found it was Miss Misaka.
Her fingers were still flashing with electric light. It was not some kind of weapon, but she was releasing it with her bare hands.
"what is that?"
