Chapter 332 102: Upgrade

Kasahara Chiba has had his eyes open for a long time.

She stared blankly at the two bright moons in the sky, one bright and one dark. She was in a trance for a long time, unable to tell whether she was in a dream or reality.

“Why do we have to distinguish between dreams and reality?”

“As long as we turn reality into the dream we want, wouldn’t that be enough?”

A woman’s voice came from beside me.

Kasahara Chiba’s straight eyes finally trembled, and he turned his head very slowly to look at the person who was speaking next to him.

Her figure was hidden in a black robe, with most of her face covered. She was holding a book in her hand, with her head lowered, reading in the moonlight.

Kasahara just looked at her quietly without saying a word.

The room they were in seemed to have undergone a special transformation. The entire ceiling disappeared, becoming a veritable starry sky ceiling.

On Iki Island, the moonlight is much brighter than anywhere else, as if a cool light source is hanging in the sky, allowing people to distinguish the road at night and even read and write.

“Izumi Sayuri?”

Kasahara uttered the name hoarsely.

The woman paused in her reading, looked at Kasahara, and gently took off her hood, revealing a face that was both familiar and unfamiliar to Kasahara.

What was familiar was that she was sure that this person was Izumi Sayuri, but what was strange was that she looked similar but not in spirit.

In the limited number of photos that were recorded, whether she was taking photos alone or with a team, she always seemed to have a bright smile and make a yes gesture, even the sunlight was eclipsed.

But now, under the moonlight, the smile seems full of gloom.

“If you want, you can also call me senior. After all, we are both from the Special Affairs Bureau and belong to the same team.” Sayuri reached out her hand, tidied Kasahara’s hair quite familiarly, and said softly.

Kasahara did not respond and wanted to close her eyes, but an inexplicable force forced her to open her eyes and continue staring at the moon in the night sky.

“I think I know what you are thinking. I used to be more stubborn than you.”

“But the Mother Goddess has love and patience beyond your imagination.”

“If you continue to be stubborn, you will only hurt yourself and others.”

“The sooner we return to the embrace of the Mother Goddess, the sooner the world will move towards peace.”

“I think you have seen countless doomsdays in your dreams. That is the end of aiding and abetting the evil. The world needs to be purified. When the new god ascends the throne, the world will be reborn.”

“The so-called Moon Awakening is nothing but a lie, a poison sent down by the false god. But you are different. You have the qualifications to inherit the godhood. You can rebel against the false god, grow with the help of the power of the Mother Goddess, devour the false god, and ascend to the throne of god together with us.”

Kasahara listened to Sayuri’s soft words and roughly understood that the Mother Goddess had brainwashed her into a person who protects the world.

Based on Sayuri’s personality model that Kasahara knows, this does work, after all, the world includes her sister.

She certainly didn’t want her sister to get hurt.

And after knowing that she has become the Moon Initiator, he will only become more anxious, fearing that his sister will become a victim of the false god.

“Are you placing your hopes on Guan Junyan?” Sayuri calmed down for a while and then asked.

Kasahara shook her head inwardly. She knew very well that with Guan Junyan’s ability, he could not get here, nor could he find her and save her in the nest of the Mother Goddess.

The Special Affairs Bureau must prioritize rationality when acting, which means it is difficult for them to agree to invest a lot of manpower to rescue themselves.

Therefore, I am facing a dead end and there is no point in persisting.

But she still wanted to try.

The reason may be a little ridiculous, but I just don’t want to lose to the senior next to me.

“Reality is not Dragon Quest.”

“The more you look forward to the arrival of the hero, the more disappointed you will be.”

“I clearly asked him to take good care of Ringo, but why did he bring her to a place like the Special Affairs Bureau?”

As Sayuri kept muttering, Kasahara’s eyelids gradually became heavy, and slowly, he couldn’t tell whether he was waking up from a dream or falling asleep.

[Experience +5]

[Experience +5]

Tokyo is located near the temporary government office in Ota Ward.

The surging population has brought not only crime but also a greater concentration of polluters than ever before.

After years of practice, the screams of the crowd have dropped to a controllable level, and most people just run with their heads down, their movements skillful.

Those monsters that had turned into polluters hadn’t even started to take action when all the people around them had already run away.

Then, it was discovered by Guan Junyan, who was patrolling intensively to gain experience on a full-moon night. It was cut in half neatly, and he threw down a triangular warning projection and rushed to another suspicious location.

Fight monsters!
upgrade!

And rescue the “Princess”!
This is Guan Junyan’s only thought these days.

He seems to be tireless. Wherever there are Polluters and Moon Filths, there he will be.

He was able to achieve this level only because of the experience points he gained from the [Battle of Tokyo], which raised his level to level 20 and gave him a passive ability, [Monster Perception].

You can vaguely know which areas will have monsters that can be killed to gain experience points.

When this ability is used during a full moon, the polluter will be killed by Guan Junyan as soon as it appears, and will not be able to show off at all.

Even if the Moon Filth appear to cause trouble, they will be suppressed and beaten by Guan Junyan, who is now a higher level than before, and then turned into experience, allowing him to get one step closer to upgrading.

“Guan Junyan will leave early tomorrow morning. Are you sure you don’t want to rest for a while?” Fengchuan learned that Guan Junyan was still looking for monsters all over Tokyo, and called Guan Junyan with a headache.

“I’m in good condition now. I won’t cause any trouble tomorrow.”

Guan Junyan can’t say it openly, but his status will be fully replenished after he upgrades.

“Okay then, I believe you. This is the first time for me to lead a team on such an important mission. Please.” Fengchuan was so excited that he couldn’t sleep.

With Toyokawa as the captain and Inagaki Miki as the vice-captain, the team’s members include Seki Toshihiko, Tachibana General, and Hound.

Among them, General Tachibana was invited by Noguchi at a certain cost because he was impressed by his keen sense of smell and extraordinary strength.

The Hound took the initiative to apply to join, on the grounds of helping the Heaven Node to gain a better understanding of the Mother Goddess’s unified lair.

Noguchi would naturally not refuse, and the Hound’s personal combat ability was very strong. As a divine warlock, he also had a variety of response methods. Even if he couldn’t win, at least he could escape without any problems.

But if we talk about who has the strongest motivation, it is definitely Guan Junyan.

His desire to rescue Kasahara Chiba is still above the mission, but he will not disrupt the group action. This mission will inevitably involve the core area of ​​the Mother Goddess Integration on Iki Island, and he firmly believes that Kasahara Chiba must be there.

“Die!”

Guan Junyan descended from the sky, holding a standard long sword, and smashed the brain of a rebellious Moon Filth into a pulp.

[Experience +80]

“Roar!”

Another Moon Filth pounced forward, but Guan Junyan, who was prepared, stretched out his two magic hands and grabbed the disgusting centipede-like monster from both ends.

Immediately, the energy of ice and fire poured out from the palm of his hand, and the centipede turned into slag while twisting.

[Experience +80]

[Level has been upgraded, current level: Lv23]

[Mission unlocked: Go to Iki Island and rescue Kasahara Chiba]

[Experience Reward: 2000~10000] Two thousand to ten thousand?
With such a large span, there must be some difficult branches in it.

Feeling the power rushing through his body, Guan Junyan touched the golden-mouthed jade toad hidden in his arms, glanced at the full moon in the sky with murderous eyes, turned around, and headed to the next place.

After killing all night, his level still failed to break through 23.

At daybreak, a plane came to pick him up for Fukuoka.

Guan Junyan seized the opportunity and took a nap on it.

“We have already said what needs to be said, and we have already made the necessary preparations. Iki Island is the base of the Mother Goddess’s unity, and I don’t need to emphasize its dangers to you, but we have no choice. We cannot tolerate a public enemy of humanity developing without any scruples next to us.”

“The war to retake the country has never stopped, but for now, we need a test.”

“After entering Iki Island, the Special Affairs Bureau will no longer be able to provide you with any assistance. Everything must be determined by your own judgment.”

“Remember, life safety comes first.”

The farewell scene was not grand and seemed very shabby, with only Takeshi Noguchi and a few extraordinary people seeing him off.

Fengchuan had a tense face and raised his head, looking somewhat nervous.

Miki Inagaki was as calm as ever, holding the outgoing General Tachibana in her arms.

The hound stared straight ahead, but his mind seemed to be in a daze.

Guan Junyan took a deep breath and thought of Jingquan Ringo in his mind.

I don’t know if she really entered Iki Island.

I don’t know if they will meet this time, and if so, how they will deal with it.

Shake your head and get rid of all these unnecessary thoughts.

After saying goodbye to Noguchi, they headed towards the transport plane.

They will take a transport plane to land at Iki Airport in the southeast of Iki Island, which is equivalent to starting the investigation from the southeast side of the island.

At the same time, there was originally a large gathering area nearby, which is worth investigating.

Since the fall of Iki Island, countless missiles and artillery shells have been fired at it, but once you try to land on it, you will inevitably come under countless attacks, even if the ground has been covered with artillery bombardment.

Considering the huge cost and the low killing efficiency of missiles, the authorities gave up the firepower bombardment on Iki Island.

Originally there were several temporary bases in the southwest, but they continued to lose personnel due to endless harassment and were finally forced to withdraw, making Iki Island a true territory unified by the Mother Goddess.

The final conclusion is that if one wants to eliminate the monsters entrenched on Iki Island, the only way to achieve true victory is to use extraordinary power to attack the enemy directly and destroy their nest.

However, this would undoubtedly result in the loss of a large number of extraordinary people, so the Special Affairs Bureau proposed that the extraordinary people and the Self-Defense Forces would land together.

The Self-Defense Forces and some extraordinary people are responsible for the front battlefield and are responsible for achieving success in multiple areas.

Several elite super teams found out the truth, merged together and destroyed the nest.

But such actions have been proven to fail, and it is difficult for the military to agree.

In addition, the traditionalists felt that it was just a small island with few people, and the extraordinary people were making a fuss about it, perhaps hoping to weaken their power, so they could not agree with it even more.

However, now that the traditionalists have been liquidated, the only people left in Japan are the extraordinary faction, the extraordinary-friendly faction, and the faction that does not oppose extraordinary things. Therefore, such a plan was directly and quickly passed, even though the military was worried.

The transport plane has taken off, and there are several fighter jets escorting it.

Noguchi stood on the shore and watched the formation disappear at the end of the sky.

“The fleet can begin cover operations.”

After receiving the order, the few remaining warships of the Maritime Self-Defense Force began to cautiously hover on the west side of Iki Island, while sending out helicopters to investigate the situation.

“Captain, is it really okay for us to approach openly like this? Isn’t there any flying polluters?”

The hound looked at the sky for a while and asked Fengchuan curiously.

“During the First Iki Island War, the military used bombers to attack and reconnaissance planes more than once, but did not encounter any air forces. Therefore, even if the Mother Goddess had air forces, they were relatively weak and were unwilling to engage in air combat.”

Fengchuan had done his homework and was able to answer the hound’s questions immediately.

The Hound nodded thoughtfully, glancing at the group.

Fengchuan, a life-saving expert, has nothing to worry about.

Miki Inagaki, a saint who is said to be favored by the Supreme Being, can also fly and is not afraid of plane crashes.

It’s an orange cat. I’ve never seen it before, but it should be fine since it’s being held.

Guan Junyan, seen in the Battle of Tokyo, seems to be able to fly.

Very good, including myself, we are a group of people who are not afraid of plane crashes.

He could only observe a moment of silence for the crew members.

“Do you think we will encounter an air raid?” Guan Junyan understood the Hound’s concerns.

The Hound nodded: “The information from the Mother Goddess is very powerful. It seems that our every move cannot escape them, so they must know that we left for Iki Island. In the air, most of us should be weaker, right?”

Fengchuan thought about it after hearing this and it seemed to be true.

If he wanted to save his life in mid-air, he could only enter the void, which meant he suddenly lost his combat effectiveness and had to fall to the ground.

So is General Tachibana.

So there were only three people left who could fight in mid-air.

Even if they were replaced with boats, it would be the same, and even more cumbersome. As long as the Mother Goddess did not want them to approach Iki Island, she would always find a chance to interfere.

“How far are we from the set target point now?” Fengchuan asked the crew.

“There are still more than ten kilometers to go. It’s almost there.”

Originally, Fukuoka is only about 50 kilometers away from Iki Island. If a transport plane is used, it will take less than ten minutes.

“The transport plane is very fast, they may not be able to intercept it.” Fengchuan expressed his thoughts.

The hound agrees with this statement, but if you have a plan, you just need to prepare in advance.
As if to confirm the hound’s idea, the transport plane that had been flying steadily suddenly trembled and became bumpy.

“The engine seems to have hit a flock of birds! Urgent correction is being made! Prepare to land!”

Everyone’s eyes fixed, there was no more chance of luck, and everyone prepared for battle.

“Plan B, everyone land early and gather at the airport.” Fengchuan opened the cabin door and shouted loudly.

The original intention of using a transport plane to land was to take advantage of its speed, so that the landing could be completed before the other party could react.

Now it seems that the other party has already made arrangements in advance, so it would be better for them to choose to use their extraordinary strength and land freely.

As soon as he finished speaking, Fengchuan jumped up and his body disappeared into the air.

Miki Inagaki hugged General Tachibana and jumped down, controlling her body to dive towards the airport.

Guan Junyan glanced at the hound, nodded to each other, and jumped down one after another.

He could see the transport plane emitting thick smoke and humming as it fell towards Iki Island.

Several escorting fighter jets have disappeared at this moment, and no one knows where they have gone.

In the direction where the transport plane was landing, a large group of black spots that looked like birds suddenly appeared before their eyes from the forest of Iki Island.

The two planes collided extremely quickly, and almost instantly, the transport plane exploded into a ball of fire, turning into fragments that fell into the sea and the island.
