"Since that's the case, let's save the big show for the night. Goodbye."

The Alien Kyrieloid hit by the shockwave clearly lost his footing. After leaving a parting remark, he decisively took the bronze mirror and walked through the wall, leaving everyone's sight.

Senior Ji Shi Zhun wanted to chase, but the intense movement affected his unhealed wounds, making his face twist in pain, and he had to stop.

Kishida: "He let him escape."

Shan Zhong walked into the room with the open door and looked around: "There are signs of a struggle. Clearly, Dr. Ayano had a struggle to prevent the bronze mirror from being snatched by the Alien Kyrieloid, but she was knocked unconscious in the end."

Kiriyama: "As long as she's fine, although we were a step slow, don't be too discouraged; we can just stage a comeback tonight."

Saio Nagi took out her communicator: "The inscription said that after the seal is broken, 'Moji' will reappear at the Moonlit Spring... Emi, have you found the Moonlit Spring?"

Emi in the Victory Team Command Room responded: "Found it, but it was filled in long ago and covered with high-rise buildings."

"However, Team Member Qi Ming said before that as long as it's something that can reflect light, it can become a 'medium' for Moji to come to the outside world."

Kishida: "Then let's cover up everything near the original site of the Moonlit Spring that can reflect light, and it won't be able to come out, right?"

Saio Nagi shook her head: "I don't think the Alien Kyrieloid will give us this chance. Don't harbor any luck; prepare for battle."

"Take this opportunity to completely eliminate it and leave no hidden dangers for future generations."

Kiriyama said that at least they knew the location where the enemy would appear and could set up a heavy firepower encirclement there in advance.

"There are less than two hours left before the sun sets; time is tight and the mission is heavy, go prepare quickly."

Everyone nodded, while Kishida looked at Senior Ji Shi Zhun curiously.

The Victory Hyper Gun couldn't hit the Alien Kyrieloid, but the unique-looking gun in his hand could cause damage to the Alien Kyrieloid, which really made him very curious.

Could it be that shockwave-type attacks can cause damage to spirits? But why would he know this, and why would he appear here?

"Don't let your imagination run wild; that's Qi Ming's friend." Saio Nagi came over and pointed out.

Kishida realized: "No wonder he appeared here; it turns out it was Team Member Qi Ming's arrangement."

Last time, Director Airan Cheng even drove the Victory Feiyan 1 to break into the Land of the End with them; compared to that, this is nothing.

Qi Ming's arrangement must have his intentions.

Senior Ji Shi Zhun took a few deep breaths while holding his chest and recovered. He took out his phone and sent a message in the group.

Senior Ji Shi Zhun: "Tonight, when the moon rises, a monster named 'Moji' will appear at the ruins of the Moonlit Spring."

Director Airan Cheng: "Moon rises? What a coincidence, I remember Team Member Qi Ming just said in the group chat that he set off for the moon to fight monsters. Can he make it back?"

After speaking, he @-ed Qi Ming in the group, but didn't get a reply for half an hour.

Apparently, LINE cannot provide service on the moon yet.

Director Airan Cheng: "Team Member Qi Ming can't participate in the battle... But even if our injuries haven't healed yet, dealing with one or two monsters shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Senior Ji Shi Zhun: "Be prepared."

…………………………

On the other side, in the conference room of the Caro Base, the smell of gunpowder was strong enough to ignite.

Qi Ming fired in the direction of the bespectacled man, and a person wearing a sports watch behind Qi Ming pulled the trigger of his pistol at Qi Ming at the same time.

Fire burst from both muzzles at the same time, but only one person fell.

"How to prove I'm not turned into a monster? First, the situation of 'I kill myself' shouldn't be very likely to happen among the monster's clones, right?" Qi Ming said.

At the same time, the bespectacled man widened his eyes and turned his head sluggishly.

Qi Ming fired in his direction, but the attack wasn't at him, but at the bearded man beside him who had just been instigating him to "resist the unreasonable."

I saw the latter's figure distort after being hit, changing from a human to the appearance of a monster, and then dissipating into particles.

"That guy was actually a monster..." Thinking that he had just been sitting with a monster, the bespectacled man broke into a cold sweat.

No wonder he kept instigating; it turns out he wanted me to be the first bird to attract firepower for him.

Actually treating me as a pawn, too insidious!

Qi Ming continued:

"Second, monsters can only copy that person's appearance and memories, but they can't copy his skills."

"So your clone can be killed by me with one shot, but I can catch your bullets; this is the gap."

After speaking, he turned to look at the person behind him who had fired at him.

That's right, this guy is also a clone of 【Meijuran】.

Qi Ming loosened his left hand, and the bullet that had just been fired at him slid to the ground, making a crisp sound.

Seeing this, everyone was shocked.

"My god, what did I just see."

"The legend is true; he can actually catch bullets with his bare hands!"

"This is simply a superman!"

Furuhashi was also dumbfounded, and the person wearing the sports watch hurriedly put down his gun: "What clone, it was a misunderstanding just now, I thought..."

"Don't 'you thought,' show your true form!" Qi Ming pulled the trigger again, and the Victory Hyper Gun fired a laser that pierced his body, causing him to dissipate after revealing his true form.

Furuhashi: "So this guy was also replaced by a monster... Are there any more monsters here!"

Qi Ming: "Yes."

After speaking, he aimed his gun at a person who had been silent and appeared very honest since just now.

That person's face changed drastically, Qi Ming pulled the trigger again, and he also revealed a monster's face and then dissipated.

"So he was also one!" A group of people were terrified; under the faces of acquaintances were ferocious monsters; this feeling was too chilling.

"When did they fall victim to the monster..." The bespectacled man was still lingering in fear; if he had really left the conference room at that time, would he have fallen victim too?

Qi Ming: "They might not be dead yet; they were just wrapped up in cocoons by the monster, and there is still a chance to save them."

Furuhashi calmed down and asked: "Are there any more monsters disguised as humans here?"

Qi Ming looked around again: "No, but those three were all clones, not the main body."

Fortunately, there is the 【See Through】 ability, otherwise it would have been a long time of tossing and turning like in the original *Tiga* series.

"I'm sorry, I doubted you just now, I apologize to you." The bespectacled man bowed solemnly to Qi Ming, and then asked suspiciously:

"But, how did you judge that those guys were not humans but monsters?"

"Those three guys don't have anything in common, why did you dare to pull the trigger without hesitation, not afraid of killing the wrong person?"

Qi Ming smiled: "Because I believe in myself; believing in myself doesn't need a reason."

A group of people were at a loss.

Is this the so-called "stronger than common sense"? Seeing is better than hearing; it turns out this Qi Ming is really as "terrifying" as the rumors say.

No wonder he could be held up like a treasure by the staff officers and let him sit in the base.

At this time, Furuhashi's deputy looked at the screen and said: "The 【Victory Excavator】 responsible for exploring the moon and mining ores has been activated and is heading in the direction of the 【Valley of the Kings】."

He immediately took out his communicator and called over there: "Calling Victory Excavator, calling Victory Excavator, the Valley of the Kings has been designated as a prohibited exploration area, come back quickly."

No answer; the communication was cut off abruptly by the Victory Excavator side.

Moroboshi Dan on the side: "Not obeying orders, it seems that a monster is driving the Victory Excavator, but why would it go to the Valley of the Kings?"

Qi Ming: "Maybe it was attracted by the movement or energy or something there; we have to go over too."

Two monsters are about to meet; I don't know what kind of sparks will collide.

Furuhashi looked at Moroboshi Dan: "Alright, let's fight side by side again, Dan. I'll drive Excavator No. 2, let's go together!"

…………………………

Earth, this is the city center of Osaka.

Time has changed; a thousand years ago, this was the mysterious Moonlit Spring, and a thousand years later, it has become a densely populated office area.

The TPC has evacuated the nearby residents, and the Victory Team members are all ready for battle.

"I hope Moji won't run around after it appears, otherwise it will be troublesome if it runs to the residential area." Shan Zhong wiped his gun.

Saio Nagi on the side said: "No, it won't run; it will come for us."

Kishida: "Come for us?"

Saio Nagi: "Moji needs to devour the fear in the soldiers' hearts to become stronger, and we, the Victory Team, are the soldiers of this era!"

On the other side, Director Airan Cheng and Senior Ji Shi Zhun stood on the roof of a building, waiting for the battle to arrive.

The two were holding the boxed lunches Director Airan Cheng brought, but they only ate a few bites, then looked absent-mindedly at the moon slowly rising from the horizon.

Senior Ji Shi Zhun advised: "Why aren't you eating? It won't be good if you're hungry and have no strength when fighting later."

Director Airan Cheng heard this and took a few more bites of rice. After swallowing, he said: "Hunger won't be an issue, I'm just worried whether the wounds on my body will recur during the battle."

They were severely injured by Dark Mephisto and Dark Faust not long ago, and two days were not enough for the injuries to heal.

Senior Ji Shi Zhun: "When you devote your whole heart and soul to the battlefield, you won't feel the pain."

Director Airan Cheng: "This is too idealistic; we are not Super Beasts, how can we not feel pain."

"Oh no, I seem to be a little nervous and a little unconfident."

He was embarrassed to say the word "afraid" directly, but Senior Ji Shi Zhun still heard his meaning.

Senior Ji Shi Zhun: "Fear is normal; aren't you curious why the Soldiers of the Moonlit Night wanted to seal Moji?"

Director Airan Cheng: "Because they knew that if they continued to let Moji absorb their fear, they wouldn't be able to retreat unscathed, right?"

Senior Ji Shi Zhun shook his head: "Soldiers who have completely abandoned fear, whether it's their own lives or others' lives, won't care; living is just killing and destruction."

"The Soldiers of the Moonlit Night probably noticed it later too; fear is not something to be ashamed of; how could people not be afraid of death?"

"If there is only fanaticism and no fear for war, then it will definitely go down a crooked path."

"However, in order not to let innocent lives die, and not to let kind people be afraid, we must face our own fear."

Director Airan Cheng was stunned, and immediately said to his artificial intelligence: "Darling, write down Senior Ji Shi Zhun's golden words just now immediately; in the future, I also want to think of similar words to record in my book of famous quotes!"

"Recording completed." His little robot 【Darling】 replied remotely: "Wait, President Director Airan Cheng, the energy index on your side is climbing!"

At the same time, the moon rose completely and shone on the city.

A strange black figure emerged from the high-rise buildings in the distance; its eyes emitted milky white light, and each of its hands had three huge sharp claws.

That is the monster 【Moji】!

"It's here, let's go!" Director Airan Cheng took out the Spark Lens, and Senior Ji Shi Zhun also pulled out the Evoltruster.

Two rays of light bloomed, and Dark Orb and Nexus appeared on the moonlit street; they stood side by side, facing Moji from afar.

…………………………

On the other side, the moon.

Furuhashi drove the 【Victory Excavator No. 2】 and, after a long movement, arrived at the ruins of the Valley of the Kings.

Moroboshi Dan: "There is a pit here; Excavator No. 1 driven by the monster should have drilled in from here."

Furuhashi: "Alright, then we can catch up faster."

After speaking, he pulled the joystick, and No. 2 entered the pit.

"What's wrong, Qi Ming? What are you thinking about?" Moroboshi Dan noticed that Qi Ming had been silent since just now.

Qi Ming sat up straight again:

"Nothing, just looking at the scenery; it's quite nice to be able to see those lunar craters with my own eyes."

"If I stayed at home, I probably wouldn't have these novel experiences in my whole life."

After speaking, Qi Ming stretched his waist:

"I once met an old gentleman named 'Huang Dao Long' at a nursing home in England."

"He told me that the moon was once the territory of the 'Moon Demon,' but that Moon Demon was sealed by someone in ancient times."

"At that time, I was still thinking that 'going to the moon to seal a demon' was very ridiculous; I didn't expect that I would have such a day."

He didn't know if the Moon Demon in the story of that Huang Dao Long existed, but there must be two monsters in the Valley of the Kings in front of him.

Moroboshi Dan also smiled: "This is the so-called future with infinite possibilities."

"Bang!" The Victory Excavator No. 2 at this time broke away from the narrow tunnel and arrived in a very vast underground space.

Several people jumped off the excavator wearing spacesuits and saw obvious traces of artificial excavation, as well as some uniquely shaped statues.

Furuhashi looked at the instrument and quickly realized: "No, why is there gravity here that is similar to, or even greater than, Earth's?"

Qi Ming: "Because there is a 'gravity generation device' here that can generate gravity."

"If we don't hurry up, this gravity device will cause the moon to crash into Earth."

Wrote and deleted, deleted and wrote, so the progress was slowed down.

Let's leave the foreshadowing chapter like this for now; I'll do something big for everyone tomorrow.
