"Pa da!"
The tracker in his hand fell to the ground. The shell that had been destroyed by violence could no longer withstand the impact and shattered into pieces.
Yang Cheng and the others followed the coordinates of the last signal, but other than the broken locator, they didn't find any trace of Segawa.
"Who are those people who oppose you? Why did they capture Segawa? Is there anything special about Miss Segawa?"
Yang Cheng put away his phone and walked to Masao Ishihara, who was squatting on the ground to check for traces. The two of them did not communicate much along the way. This strange guy did not seem to like to talk, and Yang Cheng still did not know how to address him.
"They captured Yami because of me.”
Ishihara Masao's head changed as he spoke. Two slender antennae grew out of his head. They looked like two antennae, but they could also be called antennae because the function of these antennae was to collect pheromones in the air, such as the smell of Segawa's perfume and other smells. He was trying to use this method to find the direction where Segawa was kidnapped.
"Because of you? How did you provoke them?"
Yang Cheng squatted down beside him and put on his helmet again. He activated the scanning system of his combat uniform and began to look for traces left behind.
"Speaking of which, I still don't know your name. Let me introduce myself. My name is Yang Cheng.”
"My name is Masao Ishihara. You can call me Ishihara.”
"What is it? Your name is Masao Ishihara?"
Hearing this familiar name, Yang Cheng was a little surprised. He had previously obtained the information center from Professor Ezaki's memory fragments, and there seemed to be a person with this name.
"Did you work at the Universe Development Bureau?”
Yang Cheng's question surprised Ishihara. This person seemed to know something about him, but after he left the Space Development Agency, all that information should have been destroyed. How did he know about him?
"That's right, I did work at the Space Development Bureau, but that was a long time ago. Due to some reasons, I can't stay any longer.”
"Is it because of the Holme Metal Enhancement Surgery?”
He raised his head and looked at Yang Cheng. This person even knew about enhancement surgery. He could not help but raise his guard.
"Yes, that's right. But where did you find out about the Holme metal and my enhanced surgery? The relevant files should have been destroyed or sealed, right?”
"I'm not sure. I heard about you from Dr. Ezaki. Complete bone replacement. To be honest, I really admire you.”
Yang Cheng could naturally feel the hostility that Ishihara was exuding. Ever since Eluna had entered his brain, his perception of other people's emotions seemed to have become more acute. Therefore, in order to dispel Ishihara's hostility, he hurriedly mentioned Jiang Qi.
"Ah, Professor Ezaki."
When he heard Yang Cheng say that he had obtained the information from Ezaki, Ishihara had an 'I see,' expression on his face. However, his face was currently covered by a shell, and Yang Cheng could not see it at all.
"Speaking of which, didn't Professor Ezaki go to Jupiter? I haven't heard from him for a long time.”
"I've already returned. Do you remember that monster from before?”
"Which monster?"
"The one who attacked the Space Development Agency's fuel storage station, Li Jiadelong.”
"Oh, oh, oh. What does it have to do with Professor Ezaki?”
Ishihara was confused. Due to some special reasons, the encounter of Jeep No. 3 on Jupiter was classified as a secret and sealed. It was announced to the outside world that Ligadron was an alien monster and not a monster transformed from a human. Therefore, Ishihara, who had limited information channels, had no idea what had happened. In his impression, Ezaki should be in Jupiter's orbit for an investigation.
"Jeep 3 encountered a mysterious existence when they were on their way to Jupiter's orbit. Then, they were twisted into a monster along with the spacecraft, Li Jiadelong.”
"You mean Professor Ezaki turned into a monster?”
Ishihara couldn't believe it, and his voice grew louder.
"You can't say that. Strictly speaking, Professor Ezaki didn't turn into a monster, but his life form has already surpassed that of an ordinary human. He can leave that monster's body whenever he wants.”
Yang Cheng looked at the holographic model that was constantly being constructed on the screen. He stood up and confirmed the direction in which the other party had left.
"They left from here. If we chase them now, we should be able to catch up.”
He looked at Ishihara Masao, but his attention had already shifted away from saving his girlfriend. The black carapace on his body faded away, revealing his original human appearance.
"So, Dr. Egasaki, are you still human?”
As a biologist, Masao Ishihara was very confused about his own identity. Now that he heard about Ezaki's encounter, he wanted to know how Ezaki had made his choice.
"Of course it's a human. Professor Ezaki doesn't think of himself as any other race. Although his life form has changed, his consciousness still belongs to humans. You don't have to think too much about it. As long as you don't give up your human identity, you're still a human.”
It seemed that foreign literature and art works liked to discuss this question. They talked about whether a robot with human emotions was a machine or not. When the human body could be replaced by other objects, could he still be called a human? Ishihara Masao seemed to have made the same mistake. However, Yang Cheng, who was born under the red flag, would not be confused in this regard. After all, he had seen too many banana people. He was very clear about self-belonging.
"Thank you!"
After hearing Yang Cheng's words, Ishihara Masao's eyes lit up again. He let out a long sigh as if he had let out all his emotions. He shook his head and thanked Yang Cheng with a smile.
"Alright, let's go. Your girlfriend is still waiting for us to save her.”
Patting Ishihara on the shoulder, the two of them strode towards the direction where Sekawa had left.
...
In the battle command room of the Victory Team, Yerui and Horii were working hard to solve the key. At the table beside them sat Daguna and Shinjo.
"Are you feeling better?"
Dagu handed a cup of hot tea to Lina and asked about her injuries with concern. Because she wasn't wearing a seatbelt, Lina's head had been hit a little. Now, it was wrapped in bandages and her entire person was a little dispirited.
"Lina, why don't you go rest first? We'll be fine here.”
"I'm fine. It's just a small injury.”
After receiving the hot tea from Dagu, Lina forced a smile and licked her dry lips as she spoke to the concerned Shuho.
"How can you fly the plane well like this? As the commander of the victory team, I order you to go back and rest, Dagu!”
Zong Fang had a solemn expression.
"Yes!"
"I order you to send Lina back and make sure she has a good rest. If you can't do it, I'll ask the captain to cancel your leave for this month.”
"Yes, sir!"
Dagu immediately helped Lina up.
"New City team member, there is a signal transmission interruption here. Have you located something?”
Yerui got up and stretched. He rubbed his sore eyes and yawned as he looked at the new city. Because the computer in the base was occupied by the key cracking program, he had only just discovered the feedback from the satellite.
"Ah! Broken?"
Shinkou jumped up from his chair and ran to the computer screen. He pushed away Horii, who was lying on the ground with his head raised, and clicked on the message sent by the satellite a long time ago.
"Pa!"
Xin Cheng slapped his own forehead.
"How could this be? Why is it so unlucky today?”
First, the monster's corpse resurrected, and Masaki Keigo stole the limelight. The entire victorious team was labeled as useless, and now, the person they had to protect had lost their location. Unlucky things happened one after another.
"Did something happen to the witness?”
Zong Fang walked forward. He still had many impressions of this matter.
"Yes, the tracker seems to have been forcefully removed. It is no longer connected, but it has sent back images before it was damaged. The target seems to be a human, not a monster?”
Xin Cheng frowned as he looked at the enlarged picture. The screen showed a rather gloomy man. The angle of the picture was very good, and it captured the details of the man's face.
"Is this the guy who kidnapped Segawa? It seems that I have seen it somewhere before…"
Yerui moved closer to the screen and seemed to have remembered something. He began to search the Japanese citizen database and constantly compared it with the man in the picture. Finally, he found a file that matched the man's appearance the most.
The file showed an ID photo. The grinning mouth looked quite sunny, and the temperament was the opposite of this gloomy man. However, their faces were almost identical, and even some subtle details could be matched.
However, unlike his sunny appearance, the crimes committed by this guy named Okada Suke were truly sensational. According to the records, he had once lured dozens of young women, committed atrocities, tortured them, dismembered their bodies, and buried these poor girls in his yard. It was not until one day, when an earthquake caused the ground to crack, that these wronged bones were exposed to the sun.
The cruel brutality sent chills down everyone's spines. It wasn't that they hadn't dealt with terrifying monsters before, but it was far from being as terrifying as this one.
Ye Rui and the others quickly skipped over the uncomfortable case records and went straight to the last page.
"Due to the fact that the crimes committed by the criminal are extremely heinous and the criminal himself has no intention of repentance, the court has sentenced him to life imprisonment, which will be carried out immediately.”
Ye Rui read out the last line and looked at the name of the prison on the temporary residence before turning to look at Zong Fang.
"Contact the prison immediately. I want to know where this Gangdasuke is now.”
Zong Fang's face revealed anger. After he gave the order to Ye Rui, he shouted for the new city.
" Come with me. You must ensure Segawa's safety. If the person who kidnapped her is really this scumbag, I don't mind…"
He did not finish his sentence, but everyone knew what he wanted to say. However, no one objected. After committing such a crime, it was difficult for them to treat Okada Suke as a human.
"Yes, sir!"
