Chapter 485: The Daughter of Time

Star Grant: 5.

Manufacturing: 37/40.

After glancing once more at the main control interface on the arbitrary key screen, Qi Ming sat down in the command room after returning from the highway and let out a long breath.

Aside from the durable Feng Yuan, everyone else had yet to recover from the team annihilation two days ago and were temporarily unfit for combat; for now, only he could fight.

Even after Star Gathering, he still had 5 Star Grants, giving him a strong sense of security.

At that moment, Kishida suddenly made a soft sound of surprise while scrolling on his phone: “The Alchemy Star’s Jelumina No. 3 has been completed. When the accident four years ago halted construction, I thought it was finished.”

Hearing that name, Qi Ming froze: “Jelumina No. 3...”

Kishida: “Yeah. Unlike our Delta Space Station, it’s a true residential space station. The construction crew there calls it ‘The Daughter of Time.’”

Nishijō Aki reached out and rubbed Qi Ming’s shoulder: “Jelumina No. 3, The Daughter of Time? That must be from ‘Gao Si,’ right?”

Qi Ming whispered to her: “‘The Daughter of Time’ in Episodes 13 and 14 of ‘Gao Si’... it seems a new enemy could strike at any moment.”

Nishijō Nagi sighed: “Creating a habitable space in the cosmos holds great pioneering significance. But if it’s a space station, why call it ‘The Daughter of Time’?”

Kishida: “I’m not sure... should we ask Tenggong from Alchemy Star in the group?”

Except for Yamayuki, all members of the Victory Team were in the ‘Ultraman Group,’ making communication easy.

Nishijō Nagi shook her head: “She’s still recovering from her injuries. Don’t bother her with this. By the way, where’s Feng Yuan?”

Kishida: “Just got a verified report. The complainant is a hunter who said his newlywed wife was killed by a monster while they were sightseeing on Mount Asama. Feng Yuan went there.”

He pulled up the complainant’s information. Nishijō Aki, beside Qi Ming, saw the couple and said: “Aren’t these the same couple from the video I showed you before—the ones who got married in the Karuizawa church?”

Qi Ming: “It’s getting too familiar. Wait—aren’t these the couple from Episode 22 of ‘Tairo,’ ‘The Anger of the Child-Carrying Monster’?”

Nishijō Aki didn’t have Qi Ming’s photographic memory; only after his reminder did she recall: “Oh, it’s them. That’s why they looked familiar.”

In Qi Ming’s memory, the hunter husband in this couple was also a “legendary figure.”

Feng Yuan... I’m really worried about him.

………………………………

Meanwhile, Mount Asama.

Because magnetic mist constantly shrouded the area, communication signals here were extremely poor.

Dressed in team uniform, Feng Yuan found the complainant, [Fujiwave].

Last night, Fujiwave had just married his wife, [Yuko].

At the time, he had proudly shown her his hunting trophies while telling her his dream was to hunt a lion in Africa—full of vigor.

Now, his face twisted in anguish, he clutched a white hat and nervously explained the situation to Feng Yuan.

“Earlier, Yuko and I were admiring the view from the mountain when a monster suddenly appeared. We were both terrified.”

“Yuko fell off the cliff in the panic. Though the height isn’t fatal, she should’ve been injured and unable to move.”

“But when I went down, Yuko was gone. I only found her hat—and I can’t see her anywhere.”

“The police came to search too, but found nothing. I’m sure the monster is behind this—Yuko’s been eaten by it!”

At that moment, two figures approached Fujiwave from afar, shouting “Hey!” and carrying hunting rifles.

Feng Yuan: “Who are they?”

Fujiwave: “My fellow hunters. They came to help me find the monster.”

Feng Yuan: “Alright. I’ll go into the mountain and search.”
