A flash of silver light bloomed from the top of the cone, becoming the most eye-catching presence in the room.

“How is this going?”

“be careful!”

Munakata, who was a soldier, immediately stood in front of Director Sawai and Iruma Kei, with his right hand on the holster, ready to fight at any time. The other team members also reacted quickly and got ready.

Only Jiang Liu still looked mysterious. He stood there with his hands behind his back, motionless, just staring at the cone.

“what?”

“This is… an image? A human?”

Under the nervous gaze of the crowd, what appeared was neither alien invaders nor dangerous radioactive weapons, but a three-dimensional virtual image. A woman with long silver hair appeared in the light, with a cold expression and her eyes looking at nowhere.

–

“It seems like he’s talking about something.”

“But it just sounds like noise.”

“Hmm, let me think about it… maybe we can use a language translator to parse it out. Our database contains language systems from all regions and races around the world. As long as we find the key features, we can always understand the rules of this language.”

Horii acted as soon as he thought of it and asked Nori, another technical representative of the Victory Team, to start searching the language database.

About two minutes later, Horii chuckled and said, “I found it. It’s very similar to the grammatical rules of this ancient language—”

[I am Yuren, the captain of the Earth Guard. The arrival of this time machine on Earth means that a great change is about to befall this planet… The first sign is the monster “Golzan” that shakes the earth, and then “Melba” that breaks the sky…]

[The only ones who can protect the Earth from being destroyed by monsters are the giants in the pyramids… They were once the guardians of the Earth. They hid their huge bodies in the pyramids, and then transformed into their original light forms and returned to their distant homeland…]

[My descendants, you now need to awaken the giants and defeat Golzan and Melba. There is only one way to awaken the giants, and that is——]

呲!

The piercing noise made everyone cover their ears. The next moment, the image suddenly disappeared and the lighting in the room returned to its previous state, as if nothing had happened.

But everyone’s face was filled with shock and confusion, proving that what had just happened was not an illusion.

“Golzan, it’s Golzan!”

One of the team members suddenly said with certainty: “The monster that appeared in Mongolia is Golzan! The prophecy is correct!”

“Wait a moment, Team Dagu.”

The square-looking, masculine member of the New Town team interrupted him.

“Even if we can match one, we can’t say it’s a prophecy. We can’t just believe in something that comes from an unknown source–“

“Emergency communication! Emergency communication! Another monster has appeared on Istan Island. This time it is a flying monster and has left our surveillance range!”

Xincheng: “…”

After listening to the latest information, the members of the Victory Team began to believe the prophecy of the time machine.

“There is no doubt that this is a time machine sent to the future by a super ancient civilization 30 million years ago.”

The masked man Jiang Liu suddenly spoke, defining the nature of the incident.

“This prophecy is a warning from ancient humans. Whether you believe it or not, we should at least make some preparations to avoid being unable to deal with any problems in the future… What do you think, Captain Iruma Kei?”

“Advisor Xu is right.” Iruma Kei nodded. “Although I still find it hard to believe that such a developed civilization existed thirty million years ago…but the facts seem indisputable.”

“Then we should go find the giants right now. Only they can stop the monsters!”

“Don’t panic, Team Daiko.”

Jiang Liu looked at this young man with a sunny temperament and handsome appearance, and secretly praised in his heart: He is indeed well-mannered.

This handsomeness is just a little bit less than mine.

“First we have to find the pyramids, don’t we?”

“Speaking of this…”

Team member Ye Rui, who had been invisible all this time, suddenly interrupted and said, “When I searched the language database just now, I found an ancient language that was parsed from an ancient mural discovered somewhere. A similar dialect is still circulating in that place…

Since the language structure is so similar to that of the ancient civilization, there might be some connection. If we speculate the location of the pyramid based on this…”

Ye Rui’s discovery cheered everyone up. After repeated investigations, they finally locked the location, so everyone hurried out of the command room and headed for the hangar.

Since the Victory team members had left, the director and others also went out, and Jiang Liu was the last one.

Before leaving the house, he suddenly paused and looked back with his helmeted face.

“Well, long time no see.”

squeak!

The automatic door closed and the command room fell into darkness.

After two or three seconds, the time machine emitted a silver light, and Youlian’s figure appeared again, looking behind the door with deep eyes.

Chapter 284: Dagu’s Chastity Crisis (Mist)

The logistics department showed amazing work efficiency. After loading temporary combat modules on the two Victory Swallows, Captain Naruma Kei and analyst Nori stayed at the headquarters, while Vice Captain Sohkata took charge of the front-line command, leading four team members, Daigu, Shinjo, Rina, and Horii, to drive the Victory Swallows to the designated location.

It is worth mentioning that this time the consultant insisted on going along with the operation and boarded Feiyan No. 1 with Dagu.

“Um… Commander Xu, why did you choose Feiyan No. 1?”

With the assistance of the intelligent system, the operation of the Victory Swallow is relatively simple, and it can even distract Dagu from talking to Jiang Liu.

“The interior space of Feiyan II is more spacious.”

“Well, I’ve thought about this a lot, too, Team Daiko.”

Although his expression couldn’t be seen due to the helmet, from his tone, he seemed to be in a good mood.

“You know, TPC’s funding is very limited. As a member of the United Earth Peace Organization, I can’t bear to see taxpayers’ money wasted.”

“Hmm?” Dagu was puzzled. “Sir, it seems that we are not talking about the same thing.”

“No, look, if it wasn’t for me, you would be partnered with Shinjo, right?”

“Well, according to custom, that’s it.”

“Although Feiyan No. 1 is an old model, it is also very expensive to repair.” Jiang Liu said earnestly.

As a result, Dagu was even more confused.

After all, he had no way of knowing how many accidents he and Shinjo had encountered while flying a plane in the “plot”… It had almost become a meme in a certain group.

If these two people awakened their Stands, it must be “Hidden Purple”!

“Let’s not talk about this. We are almost there. Get ready to land, Dagu.”

“Oh, yes.”

After finding a relatively flat open space among the mountains, the two Victory Swallows slowly landed.

Here we have to mention TPC’s black technology again. Although the Victory Swallow is a standard fixed-wing jet-type aircraft, it has a hovering ability comparable to that of a helicopter. It even has no requirements for the take-off and landing environment, and can be used as a helicopter.

Under this premise, its flying speed and combat capability are not comparable to those of helicopters…

It’s no wonder. You have to know that this world view has even developed spaceships and is rushing towards interstellar civilization.

After landing, everyone divided into teams of two and began searching for the pyramids among the mountains.

Although Nori gave a relatively precise coordinate, the team members were still skeptical. After all, pyramids are difficult to hide and should be found by ordinary satellites. Japan has never heard of any pyramid legends from ancient times to the present.

“No one seems to be very confident that they can find it. What do you think, Team Dagu?”

“This is a mission. I will try my best to find it.”

Dagu looked at Commander Xu who was climbing the mountain in front of him with some helplessness. He didn’t know if he was being too suspicious, but he always felt that this commander was deliberately getting closer to him.

“Sir, why did you take the initiative to ask to be in a team with me? I felt it was very strange since we were on the Feiyan just now.”

“Eh, exposed?”

With a chuckle, Jiang Liu stopped and turned around: “Well, you are not too slow. I do pay attention to you – compared to other people.”

“why?”

Da Gu panicked: “Did I do something wrong?”

Jiang Liu, as a consultant, has “supervisory” authority. It is his duty to find the mistakes and shortcomings of the Victory Team members and to criticize and punish them.

Da Gu would naturally be a little flustered when being targeted by such a superior. After all, strictly speaking, he was not an “elite” and he had the lowest academic qualifications in the Victory Team. He was afraid that he would not meet the requirements in some way and be targeted by Jiang Liu.

“Don’t be so nervous. I’m not here to cause you any trouble, and I don’t have any problem with you.”

Hearing this, Dagu felt relieved and his mouth relaxed…

“I rather like you.”

“—”

Jiang Liu, who didn’t feel that he had said anything wrong, turned around and continued to climb up, leaving Dagu, whose face was ashen, behind.

“Hurry up and catch up, don’t fall behind.”

“Oh…oh…I guess I’m overthinking it.”

After whispering a few words to comfort himself, Dagu followed him, but always kept a distance of ten meters.

“No, no, no, how is that possible? Although people with this hobby do exist, we are members of TPC. We can’t target our colleagues. This is power harassment… Just in case, let’s ask again.”

Da Gu took a deep breath, and a series of thoughts flashed through his mind.

“If I misunderstood, wouldn’t it be awkward to ask directly? If I didn’t misunderstand, and asked directly… that would be even more awkward! Come on, Dagu, think about what you learned in Chinese class, how to say euphemistic sentences?”

“Cough cough!”

A cough was heard from behind. Jiang Liu turned his head away, and Dagu gave an awkward but polite smile.

“Sir…are you married?”

“Why are you asking this suddenly? No.”

“No, then…what about your lover?”

“Well… I guess so.”

Jiang Liu scratched his head—he felt particularly disappointed when he touched the cold metal—and became annoyed.

If it was about loving each other, the first person he thought of was Feng, and then Hebe. Feng and he were even closer… But if it was about being in a “lover” relationship, he felt that neither of them was quite right.

In other words, the bond between Jiang Liu and them cannot be simply summarized as a romantic relationship.

“Really?”

“Well, after all, from a secular perspective, what we have is considered a taboo (teacher-student romance).”

“Taboo?” Dagu’s face turned pale.

Indeed, although it is not uncommon in this era, it is still viewed with prejudice.

“Are you tired? You don’t look well.” Jiang Liu asked with concern.

“I’m fine… Um, although it’s very rude, I’ll still ask, what kind of person is your lover?”

“Well, he was a very strict person. He left quite a few scars on me.”

Is the gameplay so intense?!

“That’s really hard work.”

“Of course…” Jiang Liu couldn’t help but complain, “Just because of the question of ‘loose and tight’, I was trained for a long time, always saying that I couldn’t control my muscles and couldn’t even hold a stick.”

“hiss–“

“Huh? What’s wrong? It looks like your worldview has collapsed.”

“No, it’s nothing!”

Da Gu’s smile was stiff, and he laughed dryly: “I don’t care. After all, everyone has their own preferences. This is personal freedom… But I’m not from that world, so… I’m sorry!”

“Hmm?” Jiang Liu was stunned for a moment, and gradually felt that something was wrong. “Did you misunderstand something? Do you need me to explain it to you in detail?”

“No, no, no, there’s no need to go into the details!”

Da Gu waved his hands quickly: “It’s enough for you and him to love each other, I don’t want to know at all!”

“he?”
