Chapter 519

Seeing Qi Ming and Dao Long arrive, Victor was utterly stunned.

Are these the people America recommended to handle the recent anomalies?

This young man does look handsome, but monsters and humans have different aesthetics—they won’t go easy on you just because you’re good-looking.

And this old man… don’t take a few steps and accidentally kill himself.

America actually wants us to cooperate with them? Are they serious?

But he still forced himself to ask: “What exactly do you need us to do?”

Qi Ming: “What clues do you have about the recent anomalies?”

Director Victor showed them the collected data, stating that ten nighttime disappearances had already occurred.

Several of the missing persons were students from Saint Paul Girls’ School.

Beside him, Dao Long looked at the marked disappearance locations on the computer: “Connect these points with lines—it forms a pentagram magic circle.”

Director Victor: “Pentagram magic circle?”

Dao Long: “In ancient texts, this is a pattern used to summon demons.”

In this area, he is an authority.

Nighttime disappearances, a girls’ school, a pentagram magic circle for summoning demons…

Upon hearing these keywords, Qi Ming immediately said: “It’s almost certainly the great monster [Bishuemer] from Episode 18 of ‘Dyna,’ ‘The Girl Who Summoned the Demon.’”

Director Victor: “The girl who summoned the demon? The great monster [Bishuemer]?”

He hadn’t watched ‘Dyna’ and had no idea what this meant.

Qi Ming nodded: in the original plot, the great monster [Bishuemer] is a life-energy entity from another dimension.

It lures students of the girls’ school into performing black magic rituals to summon itself, creating a series of disappearances to absorb negative human emotions like anger and despair, thereby achieving physical form.

“The great monster [Bishuemer] probably saw [the·one] rampaging here and making people cower in fear, so it came to feed on some fear energy too.”

Director Victor clenched his fist: “Damn it, these monsters think humans are easy to bully?”

Qi Ming: “The Saint Paul Girls’ School likely hides the magic circle used to summon the great monster [Bishuemer]. Destroy that, and it will lose its power and be greatly weakened.”

Director Victor immediately decided: “Fine, we’ll send a special forces unit in tomorrow.”

Qi Ming: “Tomorrow? Why not tonight?”

The magic circle is already complete; the great monster [Bishuemer] could appear at any moment and start slaughtering.

Director Victor hesitated: “During this sensitive period, mobilizing personnel takes time, and it’s already night.”

If we go scouting in the middle of the night and run into the monster, it’ll be disastrous—we must wait until daylight.

Qi Ming thought for a moment: time was tight and the mission urgent; it would be better to resolve this matter in London as soon as possible.

Qi Ming: “Then I’ll handle it myself.”

Director Victor quickly blocked him: “Don’t alert it—the monster is far stronger than you think. If you mess up, the whole city is done for.”

Just as Qi Ming was about to speak, Dao Long replied: “Just kidding—we’re the most timid, cowardly people around. We won’t cause you any trouble.”

Qi Ming saw the glance Dao Long gave him and stayed silent.

Before leaving, Director Victor humbly asked: “No wonder America recommended you—you’re an expert on Ultraman. I’d like to watch some Ultraman episodes that make people laugh. Any recommendations?”

Episodes that make you laugh?

Qi Ming: “Watch the second-to-last episode of ‘Ultraman Decker,’ start at exactly 15 minutes and 6 seconds—I laugh every time I see it.”

Saying this, he left, following Dao Long away.

Director Victor nodded, gladly accepting Qi Ming’s suggestion, opened the second-to-last episode of ‘Decker,’ and dragged the progress bar to that point.

In the dim space, Agamus’s grotesque face appeared: “Aaaah, Decker!”

Director Victor nearly fell off his chair in fright.

……………………………………

On the way to Saint Paul Girls’ School, Dao Long asked: “Were you planning to reveal yourself to them just now?”

Qi Ming: “It would make cooperation more efficient, and it’s time to give people hope to counter despair.”

Dao Long: “That’s fine, but you should also consider the impact exposing yourself to the public will have on you and your family.”

Qi Ming was just looking for someone to discuss this issue with:

“I’m not afraid—I can destroy Earth if I go all out.”

“And I can handle monsters no country can deal with. I believe every nation will respond to my family with ‘goodwill.’”

Dao Long nodded: “It seems you’ve considered the safety of your relatives and friends, but have you considered your family’s feelings?”

He pointed to a [the·one] cultist by the roadside: “Look—you’re confident you can defeat one monster, and it already has so many followers.”

“Have you thought about what impact your public revelation as a super giant would have on the world?”

“Your family’s peaceful life will vanish forever—they’ll be swept into a massive vortex… be more cautious.”

Qi Ming deeply valued the life experience of elders; after listening, he thought long and hard: “Then I’ll ask my parents if they’re willing.”

Dao Long nodded: “That’s the right approach.”

When the two arrived at Saint Paul Girls’ School, it was already ten at night; the entire campus was silent.

Qi Ming: “Even the night guard isn’t visible—something’s wrong.”

Dao Long, walking beside Qi Ming, asked: “Get ready… by the way, won’t you put on that golden armor again?”

Qi Ming blinked: “What golden armor?”

Seeing his confusion, Dao Long said: “Never mind… maybe I misunderstood.”

Qi Ming: “Can you stop speaking in half-sentences?”

He was about to press further when the entire campus erupted in a violent wind; a dark cloud surged from the classroom building and rapidly spread outward.

Lightning danced wildly as blizzards descended from above.

Snow fell in summer in Great Xia—the region’s climate had been altered!

Then, a massive, pitch-black figure draped in feathered robes appeared—it was the great monster [Bishuemer].

During this time, it had manipulated marginalized students at the school, using the energy from their hatred to grow stronger.

At this moment, it had fully materialized, becoming the second monster to descend upon Earth.

The next instant, its claws blazed with blinding blue light, and two bolts of lightning struck down.

A clock tower shattered in the lightning, bricks burning as they crashed into the Thames, stirring up boiling mist.

“It’s a monster—another monster has appeared!”

“This one’s terrifying too!”

People immediately noticed this massive target; crowds on the streets fled in panic.

Many ran toward the subway station, but soon the great monster [Bishuemer] fired a third bolt of lightning—the entire street’s electrical system exploded in blinding sparks, streetlights shattering one after another.

“Besides [the·one], now there’s another monster? Are we not even allowed to live?!”

“Does that mean [the·one] was just the beginning? Will more monsters keep coming?!”

“A few more, and the whole Earth won’t be enough for them to destroy—humans can’t stop these things!”

Fire lit up the night sky of London and the despairing faces of its people.

The great monster [Bishuemer] spoke in human voice: “Yes, like this—fear, hate—your emotions feel wonderful to me!”

“Don’t get too cocky.” Qi Ming pulled out the Ultimate Battle Device: “Go, Silver Dragon—it’s you I choose!”

A golden, card-shaped light enveloped the brute monster [Shilbagon], appearing before the great monster [Bishuemer], blocking its next lightning strike toward the city.

This world had no Eternal Core, so there was no automatic +1 Star Grant every three days—every single Star Grant must be used wisely.

Rather than transform himself, he’d let Silver Dragon, thoroughly tamed and obedient, take the front.

“Pata!” The great monster [Bishuemer]’s lightning struck Silver Dragon, who showed no reaction, charging straight at [Bishuemer].

Watching the Silver Dragon blocking its path, the great monster [Bishuemer] retreated while feeling puzzled.

What is this monster? Did I intrude into its territory and provoke a counterattack?

No way—I scouted this area for a long time; there were no traces of other monsters here before.

Then why is it attacking me? Is it hunting instinct? Or just dislikes me and wants to fight?

The great monster [Bishuemer] gritted its teeth and kept retreating, firing flames at Silver Dragon’s abdomen.

Thick-skinned and tough, Silver Dragon charged through the flames, closing the distance and landing a punch that sent [Bishuemer] rolling two and a half times across the ground.

After being struck head-on, the great monster [Bishuemer] realized Silver Dragon’s strength and dared not clash directly, instead relying on its mobility to evade.

Spear versus tank—they briefly clashed, assessed each other’s strength, and now fought to a stalemate.

Dao Long stared in astonishment: “Silver Dragon? Dragon? A dragon! I never thought you could tame a dragon—amazing. But this giant you summoned seems unable to defeat the opponent for now.”

Qi Ming: “Then destroy the magic circle at [Bishuemer]’s heart—cut off its magic, and Silver Dragon will have the upper hand.”
