Chapter 45
Regarding the details of that night, Qi Ming didn't say; it's not appropriate to let too many people know about the Normart matter before it's thoroughly figured out.
Kishida: "Based on my understanding of Staff Officer He Zhi, he won't give up easily."
Emi also reminded Qi Ming that the staff officer is in a high position and has great power, and offending him might make it difficult to move an inch in the future.
Qi Ming: "Don't worry about it."
He looked at Lucia: "Just treat it as watching a 【clown show】 on Earth for you; with me here, no one can touch you."
Lucia nodded and continued to gesture. Qi Ming tried hard to understand: "You mean, if the distance is close enough, there can be a fuzzy sense?"
Lucia nodded.
But when asked about this specific range, because of the language barrier, Qi Ming felt like he was doing a "fill-in-the-blank question with the article printed on the front and the options on the back," difficult to understand how close this "close distance" is.
If the sensing range is very small, isn't that still looking for a needle in a haystack?
Qi Ming pondered for a long time: "It seems I can only use this move, let me calculate a hexagram and see if I can find any clues."
Moroboshi Dan: "?"
Emi: "?"
Soldier Shan Zhong: "?"
Kishida: "?"
Nagi Saijo: "?"
Calculate a hexagram?
Emi hesitated and opened her mouth: "Team Member Qi Ming, the hexagram you are talking about, is it the kind of... commonly known as 'fortune-telling'?"
Qi Ming nodded.
Moroboshi Dan was shocked: "You can still tell fortunes?"
Qi Ming: "Know a little, not necessarily accurate."
His master, that old archaeological professor Sima Hui, was a hero of the rivers and lakes who came from the old days.
He not only had some green forest skills, but also was the true biography of "Golden Point," which "teaches the four seas to be famous."
But Qi Ming only learned some martial arts moves like "Scorpion Climbing the City" and "Kui Star Kicking the Fight" from him, and didn't dabble in those methods of pointing out good and bad luck and the principles of things that cover a wide range, and only had a half-knowledge of fortune-telling.
The reason for saying this is just to find a new excuse to say the clues and intelligence in the original "Tiga" series.
In this situation, it is inappropriate to say "I have a friend who knows some situation," as it is easy to reveal the stuffing.
Soldier Shan Zhong became energetic: "Team Member Qi Ming, are you sober?"
Kishida: "Our Victory Team is scientific; can this kind of superstitious thing be on the table?"
Nagi Saijo also felt that Qi Ming was sick and went to the doctor, and your reckless image of not being convinced and just doing it didn't match those fortune-tellers at all.
And in her impression, when the US and the Soviet Union were fighting for hegemony in the last century, both sides studied the special function block, but in the end, they unanimously agreed that developing science is the most useful.
Qi Ming: "Anyway, it doesn't cost money, just believe a little."
This statement made everyone feel that he didn't have a grasp either.
Moroboshi Dan: "Then... how do you calculate the hexagram? I remember it seems to use things like turtle shells."
Qi Ming recalled what his master said, and followed suit: "Calculate the number of hexagrams, regardless of the object, where the heart arrives, there is heaven's secret."
After speaking, he picked up three pens on the table, threw them on the table at will, and then looked at them intently.
This sacred and solemn appearance made people dare not disturb, and it was a long time before Moroboshi Dan asked, what does this hexagram mean?
Qi Ming thought to himself, how would I know? Before, when he went to a temple in Hangzhou to play, he took a sign, and the sign text on it made him look confused.
The Taoist said that it costs fifty yuan to solve the sign, and the girl next to him reminded Qi Ming that there is no need to spend this money; you can search for "sign text solution" on the Internet, and there will be detailed explanations there—it is really the Internet of Everything.
However, although he didn't understand fortune-telling and sign-solving at all, it didn't prevent him, a half-baked person, from bluffing people in the knowledge blind spot of other team members.
If this works, it will be convenient to use this reason to say some intelligence in the original plot in the future.
Qi Ming: "Factory... Team Member Emi, help me mark the abandoned factories near the dense area of population disappearance."
Moroboshi Dan: "Is this the result you calculated? The Crow-Man's stronghold is in an abandoned factory?"
Qi Ming: "Yes."
Dozens of factories were marked by Emi, and Qi Ming continued: "Filter it, only keep the factories with large flocks of crows nearby."
In his impression, the Crow-Man's stronghold on Earth in the original "Tiga" series was an abandoned factory with large flocks of crows entrenched.
Emi nodded, and soon narrowed the target to nine.
Soldier Shan Zhong still didn't believe it: "Are you sure it's really useful?"
In this fused universe, Qi Ming didn't dare to say anything: "The accuracy of the hexagram number depends on the harmony between the heart and the heaven's secret. Maybe a difference of a thousand miles, it can only be used as a reference."
After publishing the disclaimer, Qi Ming prepared to set off with Lucia.
He was going to visit these nine abandoned factories one by one, and then take action after Lucia had a sense.
Nagi Saijo, who was concerned about the Umeda siblings, expressed approval for Qi Ming, feeling that for one percent of hope, one should put in one hundred percent of effort.
"Emi, lend me the gun." Qi Ming reached out.
"Oh, oh." Emi handed her Victory Hyper Gun to Qi Ming.
Moroboshi Dan: "Isn't one gun enough for you? You want two?"
Qi Ming: "Two are not enough."
He went to find Dr. Yagami again, saying that he was going to do a big ticket.
Before 007 went on a mission, Q would always get him some high-end goods, hoping he would get some powerful equipment that could suppress more than a dozen aliens at the same time.
Dr. Yagami: "Firepower suppression of more than a dozen coordinates, are you talking about a heavy machine gun?"
Qi Ming's eyes glowed: "Is there a Victory Hyper Machine Gun that can fire hundreds of lasers per second? I want one."
Dr. Yagami: "Why don't you want a Tiger tank?"
He is the person in charge of the Magma power system, not the department that develops weapons.
In the end, he went to negotiate personally and only got a 【Dunk Shooting Gun】 for Qi Ming.
Qi Ming had an impression of this kind of gun; in the original series, this thing was often held by the sharpshooter Team Member Shinjou.
"Sniper rifle type gun..." Qi Ming loved it, joy jumping in his eyes.
Seeing his satisfied look, Dr. Yagami also felt that his effort was very worthwhile.
He asked curiously: "How is your accuracy?"
Qi Ming: "A hundred shots, a hundred hits."
After finishing all the preparations, Qi Ming changed into a black leather suit that was easy to hide.
After inserting the double guns and wearing black sunglasses, a temperament of "half-human, half-ghost, god-like marksmanship" was born spontaneously.
He carried Lucia and, according to the route planned by Emi, started to visit the nine abandoned factories with crow flocks circling one by one.
When he came to the fifth factory, the night was deep, and Lucia pulled Qi Ming's sleeve.
She could feel that Zala was here!
"Finally found it." Qi Ming nodded, it seems this is the Crow-Man's lair.
In the original series, Team Member Shinjou chose to come alone to save people after receiving a distress signal from his cousin, but ended up being caught.
This made his cousin very resentful: "I asked you to come to save me, not to accompany me!"
So although he was confident in his skills, Qi Ming still prepared to wait for his teammates to arrive before acting together because of this lesson from the past.
Coincidentally, when Qi Ming found this place, the time agreed by the five aliens arrived.
Now, they are going to attack together, impact the human world, and conquer Earth.
