In the command room of the Victory Team at TPC headquarters, Dagu was reading a report with a frown. This was a supernatural investigation report submitted by the Chiba Police Department. The report pointed out that there were a large number of suspected alien activities in Chiba Prefecture. The local television station had also reported many times and interviewed several eyewitnesses. Their descriptions were similar. Through continuous reconstruction, they obtained a person who was emitting a cold light. A humanoid creature with a metallic shell. Several pairs of scarlet insect compound eyes occupied most of its head. Its limbs, which were no different from humans, were tightly wrapped in a layer of armor that looked like metal but had the flexibility of biological skin. At a glance, one could feel that it must have extremely strong combat power.
"What's wrong with these police officers? Do they have to hand over some tabloid reports to our Victory Team to investigate? What's next? Could it be an urban legend?”
Xin Cheng threw away the report in his hand, held the back of his head with both hands, and leaned back as he began to complain to Dagu.
"It's not easy to be free for a while. Sigh."
These two days, the entire world could be said to be calm. Not only were there no attacks from the cosmic people, but there were also no monsters. The victory team also had a rare free time. Horii went to Dr. Ezaki's place to do experiments with a group of scientists, and Lina flew a plane to the Central Asia branch to participate in pilot training. The earliest the two of them could come back would be the day after tomorrow. Now, only Dagu and Xincheng could go on missions.
"Alright, stop complaining. The earlier you investigate, the earlier you wrap up.”
Dagu put down the report, stood up, and stretched. He rubbed his sore eyes and began to call for the new city to set off for Qianye County.
"You guys are finally here!"
As soon as the Flying Swallow landed, the local police chief greeted him with a smile and began to introduce the details of the incident to Dagu, as well as some information that had just been investigated.
This guy with compound eyes had only been a legend in Qianye County for the past two years, so he did not attract much attention. People treated his existence as a joke for those so-called witnesses. After all, those witnesses who said they saw him with their own eyes were not very reliable. There were only a few witnesses in total, and more than half of them were supernatural enthusiasts. They liked to go to messy places to look for ghosts and spirits, such as abandoned factories and residential houses. There were also buildings left behind during the war. Their words were not credible to the victorious team.
Holding the portrait that had been restored based on the information provided, Great Ancient New City ignored the few so-called witnesses and only glanced at them who were dancing and telling the story of how they encountered the Insectoids to others. Then, they walked straight to a delicate girl who had a timid expression and was standing at the side massaging her thumb. She was wearing a slightly tattered lace dress, and the dirt and grass on it indicated that she had experienced something unusual.
"Hello, Miss Segawa, we are from Team Victory. I am Shinkou, and this is Team Dagu.”
Xin Cheng put on a reliable appearance and smiled as he introduced his identity as Da Gu.
"We're here this time to understand this from you..."
"Insectoid!"
Seeing that the new city had forgotten the name of the target, Dagu reminded him in a low voice.
"Oh oh oh, bugman."
Xin Cheng scratched his head awkwardly, but he quickly regained his composure.
"Can you tell us the details? The more specific the better.”
After looking back and forth between the two, Segawa began to describe his encounter.
Three days ago, Segawa Masami began to realize that she was being watched. On her way to and from work, there would always be a few unfamiliar figures following her. She had also tried to ask the police for help, but because there was not enough evidence, the police could not arrest her based on her personal intuition. They only asked her to call the police as soon as she saw anything, lock the doors and windows at home, and not open the door to strangers. There was no way to alleviate her growing panic.
Seeing that the police and law couldn't protect her, Segawa made a decision. She wanted to quit her job and leave this place. Although this decision was very correct, it was a step too late. When she returned home as usual and opened the door, she was greeted by a large unfamiliar hand. The stranger who had been following her had somehow snuck into her house, and she was caught by them without any ability to resist.
She didn't know why these people wanted to capture her. She didn't remember offending anyone. These people didn't wear disguises, so it was easy to see their faces. She didn't know any of them. Although their methods were relatively rough, these people didn't hurt her. It wasn't that they didn't want to. Sekawa could see the evil desire in their eyes, but there seemed to be something restricting them.
They brought her to a remote abandoned factory and locked her up. She was trapped in the room and had no idea what was going on outside, but there were constant screams of pain and the sound of metal colliding outside. The group of people who brought her here seemed to have a conflict with someone.
Just as she hid in the corner of the room in fear, hoping that someone would come and save her, a monster rushed into the room. The tightly locked iron door could not stop him at all. He only used his shoulder to knock against the door, and his entire body was separated from the door frame.
The monster was tall and sturdy, and its black skin was full of sharp thorns. Judging from its clothes, which were full of holes, it seemed to be one of the people who brought him here. However, his previous human appearance could no longer be seen on his body, and the facial features on his head had changed greatly.
He grabbed Segawa like he was lifting a rag and was about to walk out when Segawa realized that there were several obvious wounds on his body. Red blood was oozing out of his body as he moved. After a few steps, they were stopped by a guy with scarlet compound eyes.
"That monster wanted to take me hostage. He kept pinching my neck and threatening that person. I was very afraid at that time. I thought I was going to die, but that person suddenly rushed over and tore off that monster's hand.”
Segawa Masami took a cup of hot tea from Ogu and forced a smile on her face as she nodded at him.
"Thank you."
"Using women as hostages, these damned monsters.”
Xin Cheng said angrily as he stood at the side with his arms crossed.
"If I catch them, I'll make them pay. But, why did they take Miss Segawa as a hostage? Could it be that Miss Segawa knows that insectoid?”
"I don't know why they took me as a hostage, but that person did save me. After he ripped off an arm, the monster ran away. He pointed me in the direction of escape and chased after me.”
Segawa shook his head, indicating that he was confused as well. Besides, he didn't know any insectoids at all.
" Is that so? It seems like this insectoid isn't hostile to humans. But the monsters that you mentioned…"
Dagu interrupted.
" We need to investigate this matter thoroughly, but we need time. Miss Segawa, you've already quit your job. Where do you plan to go next? If it's convenient for you to tell us, we can also make preparations. If there's an emergency, we can be the first to arrive.”
Team Victory was much more trustworthy than the police. In addition to Ogu's handsome and friendly face, Segawa had also given them the Tokyo address that he had already contacted. Seeing that Ogu was chatting happily with the young and beautiful lady in front of him, New City quickly showed its presence.
"If you want to move, I can help you. I can fly you over directly.”
Shinkou patted his chest, but Segawa only smiled and refused.
"Thank you, but I already have a boyfriend.”
"Sigh…"
Seeing Segawa Masami being escorted away by several police officers, Shinkou put his hand on Ogu's shoulder and sighed.
"What a pity. She's so beautiful, but she actually has a boyfriend.”
"What's a pity? Are you jealous of someone else's boyfriend?”
Dagu smiled as he pushed away the new city on his shoulder and said with a playful expression.
"Hey, you brat!"
Segawa Masami got into the police car and tightened her clothes. She closed her eyes and a familiar figure appeared in her mind.
She lied to Shinshiro and Dagu. Although she did not know what had happened, she had a guess about the insectoid's identity. There was an amber pendant on the insectoid's chest, and a beetle was sealed inside. Segawa was very familiar with the beetle amber because there was also an amber pendant on her chest. It was specially given to her by her boyfriend at the Space Development Agency. One day, hundreds of millions of years ago, The two bugs were wrapped in a drop of resin and formed this rare amber over a long period of time. In order to bear witness to their feelings, this amber was divided into two pieces, and the two kept half of it.
Her boyfriend had promised her that he would never take off the pendant, but it had appeared on the bugman. Moreover, those monsters had even used her as a hostage to threaten the other party. This made her even more certain that the bugman was her boyfriend. However, why did something happen to him? A few years ago, he had just made a strange phone call and said that he was going to participate in an important experiment. Then, he cut off contact with her. At one point, she thought that he had abandoned her. But now, it seemed that this was not the case.
"Ishihara…"
Yami clenched the pendant in front of her chest.
