NOVEL WEB Chapter 727 Black Sea Snail
The plan for single combat battle armor was unanimously approved by the TPC higher-ups. While this made the Victory Team elites happy, they also realized that they might face even greater challenges.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be given such extensive personal armament authorization.
After learning about it, Chu Xuan was indifferent and prepared to design the appearance of the battle armor, measuring personal data and asking everyone about their appearance requirements for the armor.
Sun Wukong said, "I don't really care, just design it in accordance with the aesthetics of this era."
"Is that so?"
Chu Xuan understood and decided to design according to the aesthetic requirements of this era after asking everyone present about their preferences — something like Iron Man's appearance was definitely out.
So, what about something like Ultraman's appearance?
By the way, would this require paying royalties to Tsuburaya Productions?
"My requirement isn't high, just make it a bit cooler," Xin Cheng said.
"My opinion is about the same as Xin Cheng's," Zongfang laughed.
"It should have feminine features."
This was Lina's request, as she is a girl and more concerned about the appearance.
Da Gu, Nori, Kujima Megumi had no special requests, and Zheng Zha, Zhao Yingkong, Wu Ye were indifferent.
In the blink of an eye, two months passed quietly.
During these days, monsters appeared all over the world, but they were resolved by the local Victory Team divisions without the need for Tiga or Dyna to intervene.
Mostly Sofia Synthetic Beasts.
When dealing with such monsters, after Chu Xuan demonstrated that they would undergo specific transformations due to external stimuli, it became relatively easier for the Victory Team divisions of different countries to handle them.
As long as they unleashed attacks with different voltages, causing the body of a single Sofia Synthetic Beast to manifest the cellular tissue of various monsters, the beast would self-destruct due to the conflict within its own cells.
Of course, this ease is only relative to the past.
After all, making the entire body of a Sofia Synthetic Beast contain a large number of different monster cells, with different voltages of electric shocks, is quite difficult to control and challenging to operate.
But compared to dealing with ordinary monsters, this could be considered a specific counter against Sofia.
However, it seems, perhaps due to the knowledge of Sofia's invasion of Earth, those extraterrestrials who were planning to leave Earth became more anxious. Some even stopped hiding their identities and openly revealed themselves, starting to rob "Earth specialties" to sell for a good price after leaving Earth.
"Be honest, you alien!" Xin Cheng and Da Gu patrolled around Tokyo and captured a humanoid creature resembling a cicada.
"You can't do this, we're all civilized people." The cicada person spoke fluent Tokyo dialect, complaining about the injustice of the Victory Team members, but it was all in vain.
Xin Cheng slapped over and said, "Stop with the nonsense. I've never heard of civilized beings looking like you."
"That's discrimination!" The cicada person protested aggrievedly, "You can't judge me by human standards. In our view, you humans look disgusting."
"Enough with the crap," Xin Cheng looked annoyed. If not for the prohibition against mistreating prisoners and the fact that this cicada person hadn't done anything outrageously evil, he would've shot him long ago.
Bringing him back to the headquarters, Lina and Zongfang acted as interrogators and began the questioning, with Maya as an advisor to verify the truthfulness of the cicada person's words.
"You even have a robot as an advisor?" The cicada person looked at Adam puzzled.
"I'm not a robot, just temporarily residing in this to survive on Earth," Adam said.
"Enough chatter," Zongfang knocked on the table, indicating for Adam and Lina to start recording while he took charge of the interrogation, "Which planet are you from?"
"Cicada Planet."
"Don't get any wrong ideas. Cicada Planet is just a name we humans gave you. Be specific." Zongfang threatened, "Don't think it's easy to fool us, or we'll make you into a specimen!"
The cicada person trembled slightly, speaking softly, "I come from a star system approximately a thousand light-years from Earth, which you humans call the Baribahem Star System," said the cicada person, clearly intimidated by Zongfang's imposing muscles.
"What's your name?"
"Jiligala."
"What the hell?"
"My name is Jiligala, phonetically translated."
"And the literal translation?"
"Roughly 'Beautiful Star.'"
Zongfang: "······"
Lina wrote down the four characters "Jiligala" and said, "For convenience in the following interrogation, can we call you Xiao La?"
The cicada person didn't possess as rich facial expressions as humans.
Perhaps there were···
```
But humans cannot resonate with it. Thе full sеriеs livеs оn Мy Virtuаl Librаry Еmpirе (М|V|L0ЕМРYR).
In the concept of the Cicada people, xiao la means: rotten mud.
The interrogation ended.
The results were similar to those of other alien criminals captured before, all of whom were detained in the base, then shouting and screaming.
"No!"
"You can't do this!"
"The dark Evil God of Earth is accelerating its revival, and the cosmic will Sofia is also descending here, Earth is doomed!"
"Release me, release me, as long as you release me, I will take you to escape Earth together. I know that your Earth's science and technology is far from reaching the level of leaving the solar system!"
"We just need to collect some Earth specialties, and we might be able to sell them at a good price at the Galactic auction, maybe even buy a star of low civilization."
Unfortunately, Zongfang and Lina ignored this jabbering, just as requested, they locked it in the prison.
"How was it?"
In the combat conference room, Zheng Zha saw Zongfang, Lina, and Maya walking in and curiously asked, "What did the Cicada people say?"
"Not much different from other aliens, all wanting to loot a wave of Earth's specialties and then escape Earth. But in their words, the threats Earth is facing, besides Sofia from the universe, there seems to be some extremely terrifying dark force on Earth itself." Zongfang frowned.
The aliens they captured had almost identical confessions.
Dark Demon God, Dark Evil God, Dark King, and so on.
Specifically what, they did not know.
Zheng Zha and Zhao Yingkong exchanged a glance, kept calm, and didn't speak.
They actually understood what the darkness referred to, but could not speak openly, because they couldn't provide a reason where they got the information.
Sun Wukong, on the other hand, thoughtfully spoke up, "Recently, I remembered something. I seem to have seen it in an ancient book, something called 'Tai Ping Encyclopedia'."
"I'll check it." Nori immediately started searching, and he actually found it. In disbelief, he said, "This is an ancient book that existed a long time ago, the writing is in oracle bone script, more than 5,000 years old. But because its descriptions were too exaggerated, in 1965, it was defined as a book of obscure monster tales and ghost legends, and afterwards, no one cared about it, so that nobody checks it nowadays."
"However, there are actually legends about Lightning People, monsters, and beasts on it."
"Lightning People, it describes them as having bodies like glass, roaming the sky, accompanied by thunder, can transmit light, eating them can invigorate Qi-Blood, connect meridians and bones, but they easily die suddenly······"
As he read, Nori suddenly felt something was not right.
Zheng Zha even remarked, "Isn't this just a revised version of the Classic of Mountains and Seas?"
Nori thought about it and said, "Five thousand years of history, still written in oracle bone script, although the author is unknown, there's no doubt it was written by someone on the land of Huaxia."
"That sentence 'eating them—' is quite telling. After all, in Huaxia, when faced with an unseen non-intelligent species, the first thought is whether it can be eaten."
"Although you ladies, Captain, Lina, Zhao Yingkong, might be a bit emotional, based on my judgment, Lightning People shouldn't count as an intelligent species."
"After all, intelligence doesn't equate to wisdom."
Kujima Megumi shook her head and pointed at Digging Well, whose expression was a bit unpleasant, and said, "Nori, you should say that to Digging Well."
"Uh... sorry, Mr. Digging Well."
Nori felt a bit uneasy, especially when Jia Zuote first appeared, Digging Well was still holding a translator, wanting to chat with Jia Zuote, make friends.
But who knew Jia Zuote's definition of friends was food!
It's a problem of whether or not there is wisdom, but logical confusion!
"It's okay, I've forgotten about that anyway."
Digging Well smiled, "Moreover, the Lightning People aren't particularly smart... I just hope that one day, when human technology does not affect their survival, they will return to Earth."
"Ahem!"
Nori fake coughed twice, flipping through the Tai Ping Encyclopedia again, searching for the relevant information, "There actually is a record of Golza, hidden within magma, eating the heat of flames to sate its hunger, then hiding in the plains... does this mean Golza awakened once 5,000 years ago and absorbed the energy of some volcano to continue sleeping."
Xin Cheng said, "It's very possible, such a large body naturally requires energy to move, absorbing the heat of a volcano is one way... wait a minute, Golza seemed to have been thrown into a volcano by Tiga, not defeated using light, right?"
Da Gu was stunned—
Could it be Golza isn't dead yet?
"Should be dead, right." Nori was not very certain, "The energy of a volcanic eruption, even Golza's body might not withstand it."
Then, Nori searched among other materials and suddenly discovered an abstract depiction of a black conch. A chill rose in his heart, and even cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
"Nori, stay calm, what did you see that even opened your gene lock!" Kujima Megumi realized something was wrong and alarmed, hastily called out to wake Nori.
After waking up, Nori immediately closed the screen in front of him, preventing those who came by from seeing the content, only saying aloud, "It says: Yin Evil Demon, Eternal Dark God, cannot be dealt with!"
