Chapter 180

"Threw it into the river? That's really hard to find."

After leaving Saburo's home, Kishida and Shan Zhong felt a headache.

"Kishida, come back for a moment; there's something that needs your analysis." At this moment, Moroboshi Dan called through the PDI communicator.

"Okay." Kishida returned to the Victory Force command room and saw a uniquely shaped box.

Kishida: "This is?"

Saijo Nagi: "Something from the meteorite."

Kishida puzzled: "Wasn't the monster in the meteorite already finished off by the Defense Force?"

Saijo Nagi: "Not the same batch. After that, two more meteorites fell simultaneously; this is one that was just recovered, and the other is still being searched for."

"Earth is really popular." Kishida didn't know what to say for a moment.

He carefully examined this box, and his face changed slightly: "Do you know about the 'Pioneer Plaque'?"

Emi: "I know. Previously, NASA launched an unmanned probe into space, and there was a gold-plated aluminum plaque engraved with human information on it; it's an interstellar mail sent by Earth civilization to space."

Saijo Nagi: "I've always felt that this thing can only attract space invaders."

Kishida: "In any case, the surface of this box also records similar signals."

"Let me analyze it; maybe there's a gift from a friendly space alien like Ultraman inside for us."

Half an hour later, he analyzed the text information on the surface of the metal plate: "The meaning above is—'Open this box immediately'."

Moroboshi Dan: "Good, open it and see!"

But the exterior of this box was incredibly sturdy; even using a chainsaw and drill, it was difficult to leave even the slightest mark.

"The surface says open immediately, but it's sealed so tightly; the space civilization that sent the box is really strange!"

Kishida gritted his teeth and directly used a high-power laser gun.

Finally, the box was opened.

Kishida: "Finally succeeded... hey, this side inside the box seems to have something written on it; let me try to analyze it."

The result of the analysis made people shudder.

"The civilization that opens this box will be destroyed by 【Gamoron】."

Kishida: "?"

Saijo Nagi: "!"

Moroboshi Dan: "!"

First, it asked to open this box, but after opening it, it actually pulled this—is this fishing?

This thing was not a gift from a space civilization at all, but a curse letter; it was a trap through and through!

Saijo Nagi's face was ugly: "The reason for making the box so sturdy is to test the civilization of the planet it's on? If they have the ability to open the box, destroy them directly?"

This line of thinking was very similar to the previous Mechanical Island.

Moroboshi Dan: "Close the box quickly!"

However, it was already too late.

The next moment, the instrument inside the box began to glow, seemingly calling out to something.

At the same time, in the suburbs of Osaka.

This was the landing point of another meteorite.

That meteorite glowed, cracked open, and turned into a small monster that looked extremely similar to Pigmon.

A strange headpiece was worn on its head, causing it to rapidly grow to fifty meters.

After growing larger, it looked much more ferocious, walking toward Osaka with stiff steps.

The Victory Force command room immediately received the news, Emi: "Is this the 【Gamoron】 that is going to destroy our civilization?"

Saijo Nagi: "Must eliminate it immediately!"

"Calm down, this is not a life-or-death situation." At this moment, a weak but calm voice came.

The door opened, and Qi Ming leaned against the wall and came to the command room.

"Member Qi Ming, aren't you resting?" Emi hurriedly stepped forward to support him.

"I'm just weak, not dead." Qi Ming tilted his head.

He originally wanted to say "You should have asked me before opening the box," but thinking that they were also trying not to disturb his rest, he didn't blame them for anything.

"The situation is not as bad as you think," Qi Ming said.

He looked at Gamoron on the main screen, then looked at the box Kishida had opened, and already had an idea in his heart.

But for the sake of safety, he still desperately concentrated his attention and carefully listened to Moroboshi Dan explain the ins and outs.

Sure enough, this was the plot of the seventh episode of "Ultraman Cosmos," "Gift from the Sky."

This episode also had a follow-up—the fifty-fifth episode, "The Final Test."

The matter was roughly like this: a high-level space civilization sent the biological weapon Gamoron and the box used to activate it.

They felt this was a test for a lower civilization; they could judge whether they had morality through this civilization's attitude toward Gamoron.

Even if you have already issued a notice of civilization destruction, even if Gamoron is about to destroy the city and kill humans, you absolutely cannot counterattack.

As long as you fight back, you will be considered a barbaric race that only knows how to use force.

Thinking of this, Qi Ming couldn't help but secretly make up his mind.

If this disgusting thing dared to come and point fingers at Earth in this world, he would absolutely not accept the test by bowing and scraping like Musashi in the original series.

He would definitely make it come and never return!

However, the top priority was to deal with the current situation.

"It's very simple to solve 'Gamoron'; it is essentially a very docile little monster."

"The reason it wants to destroy the city is that the controller on its head is at work."

"As long as that thing is destroyed, it can return to its original form."

Moroboshi Dan nodded: "So that's it. Good, launch immediately!"

Because there was no need to kill the monster and no Star-Gifted points would be dropped, Qi Ming didn't go along.

He sat in his chair and thought carefully.

This incident was still somewhat different from the original series.

In this world, only two meteorites, one switch, and one Gamoron came.

The original series had a total of three meteorites, one switch, and two Gamorons.

There should have been another Gamoron that landed in a residential area, was picked up by a group of "not-too-naughty brats," and then caused a whole string of trouble.

Now it seems that because this Gamoron was gone, the brats who should have been involved with it also had no "opportunity to perform."

Great, thinking about not having to deal with brats, Qi Ming felt happy.

However, for the sake of safety—I choose you, go, Director Airan Cheng!

He opened the lien on his phone and found Director Airan Cheng: "President Director Airan Cheng, the Kaburaya Islands are about to welcome a new member."

Director Airan Cheng replied to the message in seconds: "What, a new member!"

He was pleasantly surprised; the two turtles had been hyped and reported by him from various angles for long enough; it was time for some fresh topics.

Qi Ming explained the situation: "... As long as my teammates knock off the controller on Gamoron's head, it will become a very soft and cute 'Minin' that children and women like."

Director Airan Cheng: "Very liked by children and women? That's great!"

Qi Ming changed the subject and began to bluff:

"This is the ideal situation; I also hope for a peaceful conclusion."

"But the monster is in the city after all; if forced, or if the power of the attack is not controlled well, it might kill the monster while destroying the controller."

Director Airan Cheng: "!"

How could this be allowed!
