Chapter 382

"They have the same mimicry ability as the zerg, and are more powerful than the zerg. The only drawback is that the molting cycle of this creature called the protozoa is very long. It takes so long that the protozoa completes one molt, and the zerg's third The offspring is about to be born."

"Because of this serious flaw, even if there is a qualitative advantage, the quantitative disadvantage is too huge. Once the Zerg knows about the existence of the protozoa, it will start to hunt them endlessly and will never let the latter grow. Opportunity."

"Unfortunately, when the 15-year-old protozoa came to the earth, they knew through some means that a group of natural enemies would also arrive on the blue planet later. So in order to ensure the survival of the race, they thought of One way..."

"Leave the Kamen Rider system to the indigenous humans of this planet and work with them to fight against the zerg that will come in the future."

The Emperor of the East China Sea looked serious as he spoke the next words of Arisuko, which also received an admiring look from the latter.

"Yes, they did."

"So, the protozoa are actually good people?"

Twin Turbine touched the back of his head and summarized the current information, but what he received in return was a blank look from Arisuko.

She looked at the steel insect instrument above the blue-haired fool's head and showed a subtle expression.

"Although your selection criteria for the fittest are not something I can interfere with, I still think you should at least find a kid who is smarter."

In response, the invincible God of War just moved his hard jaw, making a "click-click" impact sound.

"You said there are some things that only fools can do without hesitation?"

Arisuzi understood what the other party meant and became thoughtful.

"I see. Compared to the basic qualities of a fit person, you are more willing to pursue spiritual things. It's really interesting."

"That's great, Three Gorges Dam. You've been found to have some merit because you're a fool!"

"I don't need this sense of recognition!"

To the Emperor of the East China Sea, who patted his shoulder with relief, Twin Turbine shouted angrily, and Arisuko also broke away from her thoughts and returned to the topic just now.

"I do not deny that some protozoa have indeed changed their mentality after mimicking and have the idea of ​​​​coexisting peacefully with humans. However, from the perspective of their original purpose, it is naturally impossible for protozoa to help people on earth out of good intentions. Facts "If there were no threat from the zerg, they would just silently infiltrate into human society until they completely replace humans."

Saying that, Arisuko looked at the Emperor of the East China Sea. As one of the persons in charge of the Kamen Rider system, she had naturally read the information about the Emperor of the East China Sea. She believed that Kabuto had a deep understanding of the nature of the protozoa.

The Emperor of the East China Sea also thought of his parents who were replaced by protozoa, and clenched his fists unconsciously.

"So, after saying so much, what do you want to express? Could it be that you have also been targeted by protozoa and want us to protect you?"

"No, that's not necessary."

Arisuko smiled meaningfully.

Then, in the shocked eyes of the East China Sea Emperor and Twin Turbine, she actually transformed into a green creature with a single horn.

The appearance of this creature is very similar to that of a zerg larvae, with the only difference being the huge horn on its head.

The Emperor of the East China Sea would never forget the appearance of this creature. It was one of her few nightmares. She had just learned about the monster called the protozoa.

"Hahaha, as you can see, I have already been tricked. After all, the protozoa is not stupid. It is natural that such an important thing as the Kamen Rider system cannot be really left to humans to develop."

The protozoa changed back to the appearance of Ari Tachyon, and the smile that did not change at all on his face made both turbines shudder.

"A long time ago, the relevant researchers, including the real Eritachyons, have been replaced by protozoa. What you have in front of you is just the remnants of an existence that stole Eritachyons and lived shamelessly in the world. That’s all.”

"You guy!"

Twin Turbine stood up angrily, but was stopped by the Emperor of the East China Sea. She looked at Arisuko, who was still smiling, and asked a question.

"You said that some protozoa have changed their moods after mimicking. What about you? Are you on the side of humans or the protozoa?"

"Hahaha! Isn't the answer obvious? Since I am willing to accompany that guy in Lionheart Twilight to fool around, I have naturally become a rare protozoa. The little tricks on your belts were secretly done by me."

"Little hands and feet?"

"It's nothing, it's just a small mechanism to let the dancers dance when necessary."

Arisuko glanced at the belts around their waists with deep meaning and started the next topic.

"Let's get back to the topic. Regarding the test, the following requirements may make you feel a little dissatisfied, but please be a little aggrieved and protect me, a weak, pitiful and helpless little bug."

"..."

The two stared at each other in silence, while Arisuko nodded with satisfaction, seeming to enjoy being the center of attention.

"I wonder if you have heard of the recently popular Trayson Space Agency's ladder project? I'm very interested in it~"]

418: Bait Combat (4k)

["Ladder project?"

Compared to Twin Turbine, who showed a wise expression after hearing the name, the Emperor of the East China Sea was somewhat impressed by the news published in the newspaper.

After the meteorite crash seven years ago, people who had experienced the disaster from the universe subconsciously paid attention to the aerospace industry.

The Tereson Space Agency was established in such an environment and is an organization dedicated to preventing tragedies from happening again.

And such a big move finally made by a place that has been highly anticipated by the world after 7 years has naturally attracted the attention of many people, even the emperor of the East China Sea is not immune.

Judging from the design drawings and plans currently disclosed to the public by the media in interviews, this "Tower of Babylon" with a height of more than 150 meters is actually a giant mechanism similar to a fort. According to the person in charge of this project , this fort can perfectly monitor the situation at high altitudes half of the earth in real time, strike at ultra-long distances against meteorites, and completely eliminate them outside the earth.

In other words, as long as two such ladders are erected at both ends of the earth, the tragedy of 7 years ago will completely become a thing of the past, and mankind will no longer suffer such suffering...

"...Well, at least that's what I said when I read the newspaper."

After drinking all the black tea in the cup, Arisuko read the words in the newspaper with a smooth tone, her beautiful red eyes full of mockery of the words.

"Any questions?"

Twin Turbine was a little confused. She only felt unclear about what she just heard and didn't hear the problem at all.

"Hahaha, there is no problem at all, that's the problem! From the project establishment to the approval of various processes, this ladder project can be said to have been given a green light all the way. It couldn't be more formal. Even the technical difficulties I expected were not found at all. . What’s even more amazing is that other scientific research projects pray to Buddha and God when soliciting investment, and they can’t wait to kneel and lick the investors’ fathers. However, this ladder project has completely turned upside down. Investors are running over crazily to kneel and lick it. ."

At this point, the Emperor of the East China Sea also noticed something was wrong.

"Although preventing threats from the universe has become a general trend that obeys public opinion, it is indeed very abnormal for a project with no precedent and only one proposal at the beginning to receive such bizarre support."

"This expensive project should have taken a year from the time it was proposed to the time it was built, but..."

The Emperor of the East China Sea tried to recall the past information, and Arisuko continued what she said.

"It's less than 3 months. As the current chief researcher of ZECT, I will naturally not let such news go. But even for me, when I first heard about the emergence of this black technology, it was only 2 months ago. Before. This is so abnormal and completely subverts my understanding of the wrangling skills of high-level human beings."

Arisoko shook her hands hidden under her long sleeves.

"unless……"

"Unless all the high-level officials related to this project are replaced by zerg!"

Twin Turbine's eyes widened. Having said this, he finally understood the seriousness of the problem.

"bingo!"

Arisoko clapped her hands and nodded with satisfaction.

"The zerg suddenly made such a big move, which made me a little curious, so I decided to go over and take a look to find out what their purpose was~ and you are honored to be my bodyguards. ."

"Wouldn't it be better for you to report this kind of thing to ZECT and let them send forces to investigate?"

"Well, just think of it as my little curiosity as a researcher."

Regarding the East China Sea Emperor's question, Arisuko did not answer directly. The smile on her face was like a thick barrier, blocking the possibility of the other party seeing through her.

Although she had never seen a device like a ladder before, Arisoko's genius brain made some vague guesses when she saw the appearance of the thing for the first time.

A large part of the reason why she wanted to investigate in person this time was to confirm her suspicions.

——If my guess is true, then the fewer people who know the true identity of the ladder, the better, especially if the protozoa cannot know the existence of this thing.

If it can summon compatriots for the zerg, it can naturally do the same for the protozoa.

Although Arisuko said good things about the Emperor of the East China Sea, in fact, she, like Tetsuna Sunukawa, did not completely believe in the Emperor of the East China Sea, especially since she also knew the Emperor of the East China Sea's feelings for Tsurumaru Tsuyoshi, a protozoan.

——It’s really troublesome. A batch of protozoa and zerg are troublesome enough, but I didn’t expect that the zerg had such a trump card. Lionheart Twilight, was this what you expected?

Looking at the horse girl who seemed to be the embodiment of confidence in front of her, Arisuko's burgundy pupils flickered slightly, as if she saw another accomplice in her body. 】

It's simply the sound of nature: Miss Arisuko's ego is too strong, to the point where she can continue to help mankind wholeheartedly without wavering even though she is a protozoa.

Okino T: Well, it turns out that the racing girls are all good kids (tears)!

Pipikhuan: Hehe, that’s natural (satisfied).

Okino T: Well, except for the golden ship (no emotions).

Pipizhou: Hey (angry)!

Super High School Level Detective: The general background of the story has been sorted out now, but some mysteries still remain.

Devil Bomber: Mainly focused on the guy named Lionheart Twilight. Why does this guy have such an unusual relationship with the main plot in every world? It’s so suspicious!

Wei Baozi: She is indeed a lady with a deep mystery. Like the Emperor of the East China Sea, I originally thought that the prophecy was brought by protozoa, but I didn’t expect that the prophecy actually came from the mouth of Lionheart Dusk.

Miss Pink Fairy: Ha, interesting woman.jpg

["What? The reason why my sister came to rescue me is because of the arrangement of the commander in chief!?"

When the Emperor of the East China Sea and others were negotiating and preparing to go to Tereson Space Agency to investigate, in a secret stronghold, he was wearing a windbreaker that was symmetrical to Fei Caoshang with one sleeve missing, and he also had the aura of Chuuni. Hell Rice, filled with a large number of chains, looked at his sister Hell Grass and brown-haired Ma Niang with surprise.

"Well, Torena needs two Locust Knights to attract the attention of the protozoa."

Rarely showing his true appearance and excellent qualities. Looking at Mi Yu, who was originally gloomy and melancholy, his expression turned from cloudy to sunny immediately after he revealed part of Lionheart Twilight's plan. He secretly sighed in his heart at Torena's ability to coax the little girl. I am really becoming more and more proficient.

I actually believed it without any doubt...

——Hell Rice, how much you like Torena!

With excellent qualities, he had no consciousness that he was also dragged into the pirate ship by Lion Heart Dusk in a similar way, and he sighed to himself about Ma Niang's simplicity.

"That's it, Mi Yu has not been abandoned by the commander-in-chief, hehehe..."

Mi Yu giggled, but she suddenly trembled in the next second and noticed Cao Shangfei's cold and angry gaze at her.

"What, what's wrong, onee-sama?"

"Mi Yu! Don't expect extraneous relationships! Master-disciple relationship, friendship, and love are completely out of reach for people like us."

Unlike Mi Yu, who is still quite immature, Kashang Fei, who has experienced more, is more aware of the current nature of Lion Heart Twilight. In the eyes of that woman, everything in sight, including herself, is just for use. props.

The reason why Cao Shangfei joined the gang was just because it was more comfortable for her to be used by a horse girl than to be used by damn guys like zerg and protozoa.

"What the Lionheart Dusk guy needs is just two poor people wandering in hell, whether it's us here or the twin tails over there. To her, they are just the most compatible chess pieces, don't think too much about it. , don’t expect it, don’t invest too much emotion. You probably don’t want to experience the feeling of falling into hell again, right?”

"..."

Recalling the mood he felt when he was abandoned by the Mimic Lionheart Dusk, Mi Yu couldn't help but fall into silence.

The excellent person watching their conversation bit her lip. She wanted to retort to Hell Acao's words.

But she knew very well that what Cao Shangfei said was not wrong. If the time came to abandon herself and others, Lionheart Dusk would never show mercy. This was what she had promised from the beginning.

The atmosphere in the secret stronghold became extremely silent. After a long time, Mi Yu spoke.

"Mi Yu understands. Mi Yu will no longer have expectations. Mi Yu will continue to walk in the darkness."

As if she had experienced a strong ideological struggle, her eyes returned to their previous dejected and gloomy look.

"This is my sister."

Cao Shangfei smiled slightly, but she did not reveal the indelible perseverance in Mi Yu's negative eyes.

She knew that even if he was in hell, Mi Yu would still want to become the second kind of hero that Lionheart Dusk said.

——That’s fine now. My sister’s immaturity can be made up for by my sister.

She thought so as she looked at the latest intelligence and the news that the Emperor of the East China Sea and others were approaching the Tereson Space Agency.

…

The situation was worse than expected.

The moment Aritachyon approached Tereson Space Station, a chilly feeling that stood on her head went straight from her toes to the Tianling Cap. Her instinct loudly reminded her that the place in front of her was a veritable dragon's pool and tiger's den.

If in reality it was possible to expand the enemy's visible mini-map state like in the game, then densely packed red dots exuding a sense of threat would have filled the space agency.

Originally, Arisuko thought that what she was going to face was probably a little game of "guess who the zerg is", but now it seemed that as a detective, she didn't even need to reason, so she could just rush in and catch them all.

"This scale is probably even more extreme than the original hospital incident."
