Special effects: Saving the world starting from becoming a Zergling

Chapter 125 First Encounter with Kiba Yuuji

The next day, "Good morning, Takumi! Mari! And Yuma!"

Keitaro stretched out his body and greeted everyone on the second floor.

"It feels like the real Keitaro is the one who has rediscovered his dream."

Mari sat next to Inui Takumi, resting her chin on her hand, and watched Keitaro come downstairs with a smile.

"Mmm."

After responding to Zhenli, Qianqiao blew hard on the tea in front of him before slowly taking a sip.

Don't forget what happened today.

Seeing the two lovers, Yuma suddenly said something, ruining the harmonious atmosphere between them.

"Okay, I'll get ready to leave in a bit."

Qian Qiao nodded and looked at Zhenli.

"The truth is with Keitaro. The city outside is far too dangerous for a human like you."

"No, I want to go too!"

When faced with Takumi Inui's request, Mari refused without hesitation.

"This time, you can't leave me again!"

Truth puffed out her cheeks and looked at Inui with dissatisfaction.

Yuzhen watched the two start arguing, pressed her head, sighed, and slowly walked downstairs.

Damn it! I didn't think about Xiaoxu that much before—

After witnessing the interaction between the two, Yu Zhen's longing for him suddenly surged.

"I wonder if I'll ever have a chance to return to the world of Kabuto?"

Those bastards only told me how to get here, but they didn't tell me how to get back!

As Yuma pondered this, she walked to the ironing area and began ironing Keitaro's clothes.

Since I'm temporarily staying at someone else's shop, it's only natural for me to work for them.

After ironing the dozen or so pieces of clothing that Keitaro had brought over, he walked out of the cubicle and saw Inui Takumi and Mari standing quietly at the front desk waiting for him.

"Have you made up your mind? Let's go!"

Yuzhen doesn't mind having another Truth by her side, after all, there aren't many people in this world who can accelerate.

With his abilities, he was already in this world, and he was the first to reach the pinnacle.

Protecting the truth while fighting is just a small favor.

"I'll go too!"

After hesitating for a while, Keitaro at the front desk also came over and joined the trio's team.

"The shop—are you sure it's okay?"

Truth asked, after all, there might be some more customers coming in a little while.

"It's okay, just do it the same as before. I'll drive."

"This time, I won't be left behind. I now possess the power to fight the Orphnochs!"

Keitaro said firmly to the group.

His dream returned to his heart along with Qian Qiao's return.

This time, he will fight to the very end with Inui Takumi!

Seeing Keitaro's resolute expression, Inui Takumi suddenly smiled, a familiar feeling from back then completely returning to his heart.

"Let's go together!"

Yuma only said three words, and the four of them quickly went out, locked the shop, and set off in Keitaro's van.

Yuzhen and her friends stood at a corner not far away near the Brainpower Company, cautiously watching the building where people were constantly going in and out.

"It's really lively here."

Truth hasn't been here for a long time; as a human, she can hardly survive in the city of Orphnoch.

"I heard that the first floor of the Brain Company was renovated just a few days after the King of Orphnoch returned."

"Now, the first floor here is more like a business hall, serving Orphnochs from all walks of life."

"A monkey wearing a hat."

Yuzhen looked at the building and gave a cold assessment.

Qian Qiao stood beside him and nodded in agreement.

The two of them have exceptionally sharp eyes.

"How can you say that? I'm an Orphnoch too, and I occasionally come here on business!"

Keitaro felt humiliated upon hearing their words.

"If it weren't for Yuuma, you'd probably be just like them soon enough!"

Inui raised his head, gesturing for Keitaro to look in that direction.

"What?"

Keitaro observed for a long time but couldn't see any change.

"If you look closely at the energy and spirit on those people's faces, they've been almost completely drained."

Yuma, being an oddball, has exceptionally good eyesight.

He could clearly see the numbness and lifelessness hidden in everyone's eyes.

"Through the unknown manipulations of the AI ​​company, these people will soon become useless."

Yuzhen said calmly, gleaning a glimpse of the Brainpower Company's thoughts from this.

"The world of the Orphnochs has no need for waste; they are constantly filtering out the strongest Orphnochs."

Recalling the characteristics of the King of Orphnoch, Qian Qiao's expression changed slightly.

"These Orphinos who still possess human hearts will likely all be drained dry by the Brain Corporation."

Dreams and human spirit have been taken by the AI ​​company for who knows what, while their bodies—maybe—are fed to the supreme Orphnoch king in order to prolong their lives.

"You idiot, it's been three months since you changed, and you still haven't given me any thought!"

Mari was a little angry, and skillfully grabbed Keitaro's ear, pulling him up from his bent-over position.

"It hurts, it hurts!"

"I was blinded by the AI ​​company; it wasn't my fault at all!"

He argued, and Qian Qiao took the opportunity to grab Zhenli's arm. "Zhenli, this is not his fault."

Yuma quickly defended Keitaro, saying, "Nobody knew that the Smart Brain Company had such malicious intentions."

At this point, Mari snorted coldly and released Keitaro.

"Damn it, even after becoming an Orphnoch, I still can't escape punishment."

Ignoring Keitaro's somewhat ashen appearance, Yuuma asked Inui Takumi, "Do you know who the current president of the AI ​​company is?"

"Kyoji Uemura is dead."

Qian Qiao thought about her own experience and was somewhat unsure.

Apart from the last Orphnoch King and the few remaining Orphnochs under Kageyama Asako's command, they should have dealt with the others.

As for the trio of Kiba Yuji, they disappeared before him, and he didn't know where they went.

As for Soga —

They're probably still protecting that beach right now!

Looking at Inui Takumi's expression, Yuuma knew that he didn't know either.

As for the remaining two people, he might not even know them as well as he does.

He's a man who's seen the original series!

"Let's wait and observe for a while."

Yuma thought for a moment, then ran toward the bread truck parked not far away.

"Yuuma, where are you going?"

All three of them had some doubts.

A short while later, Yuzhen brought over a camera stand, on which the camera was already hung.

"We can't just wait here all day. To make sure we don't miss any important information, we'll have to use this."

Yuma patted the camera with satisfaction.

"However, the location should be chosen to be relatively secluded."

"This is the Brainpower Company. To prevent any Orphinos from causing trouble, there are definitely a lot of surveillance cameras near the main entrance."

"They might even deploy a large number of support troops."

Thinking about the Leo cavalry that had already been mass-produced, Yuzhen had a terrible headache.

Although he wasn't afraid of these inexperienced knights, he didn't want to be put on a wanted list as soon as he arrived.

He had already been wanted once in the world of Kabuto, but those people just didn't dare to cause him any trouble.

Looking at the camera, Qian Qiao and the others felt that Yu Zhen's words made sense, so they quickly looked up and began to look for a suitable spot in the surrounding area.

However, before they could find their location, the sharp-eyed Yuzhen spotted a familiar face near the main entrance to the Brainpower Company on the first floor.

"Hey, Qiao."

He quickly called out to Qian Qiao, who was still searching for the location, causing Qian Qiao to turn her head and look at him in confusion.

The other two also focused their attention on him.

"Look ahead, does that person look familiar?"

Yuma held up a finger and pointed over there.

With Yuuma's help, Inui and the others quickly noticed the man with a cold face walking forward.

"That's—Kiba!"

Qian Qiao's eyes widened, and Zhenli also looked surprised.

"He, Yuka, and Naoya, weren't they missing? How could they possibly be at the AI ​​Corporation!"

Inui Takumi instinctively wanted to chase after him to ask what was going on, but was stopped by Yuuma's hand.

"You can still fool your identity in front of those mass-produced Leo cavalry."

"But walking right up to the face of the AI ​​company... isn't that a bit too audacious!"

Yu-ma's words cooled Inui's anxious heart a little, and he retreated back into the corner, silently squatting down.

"There were too many misunderstandings between me and Kiba, and by the time I wanted to speak up, he had already disappeared."

"I'm sorry, I was a little too hasty."

Understanding Inui Takumi's feelings, Yuma helped him up.

"Why are you so sad? It's not like we're preventing you from seeing him, it's just that the timing isn't right."

Yuzhen glanced at the entrance of the AI ​​company: "We need a middleman to meet with him smoothly."

"As for why he's working for the AI ​​company again, we can discuss that properly once we meet."

Knowing that these people were all riddle-makers and tsundere types, Yuzhen laid everything out straight to avoid making a mess of things later.

Sometimes, speaking your mind is the best way to solve problems.

If the words had been clearly explained, so many innocent people wouldn't have died in the original Faiz series.

"I see."

Having weathered many storms, Qian Qiao recovered her composure quickly.

"I think Keitaro is the perfect candidate."

After confirming that Takumi Inui was alright, Yuuma turned his attention to Keitaro.

"Me? Me?"

Keitaro held up a finger, pointing at himself, his face full of disbelief.

"You are now an Orphnoch, and you've had contact with Kiba Yuji and the others, so this is indeed the best identity for you."

Mari realized that Keitaro was actually quite capable of helping them in many ways.

"I'll give it my all. Even if I fail, I'll have a backup plan."

Yuma encouraged Keitaro, urging him to go to the AI ​​company and gather some information.

"I understand! I will try my best."

Encouraged by Yuma, Keitaro shouted loudly and then quickly ran towards the AI ​​company.

"Are you sure everything's okay?"

There is still some concern about the truth.

"It's alright. Since the AI ​​company chose to keep Keitaro, it proves that they don't really care about Keitaro."

Don't worry.

In the last sentence, Inui Takumi stole Yuuma's words.

After giving Inui Takumi an elbow strike for interrupting, Yuuma walked to the side and started fiddling with the camera.

Although a breakthrough has been found, observing the people coming in and out of this place is still essential.

"It's a pity we can't get our hands on a surveillance camera."

Yuzhen thought to herself, feeling somewhat helpless.

In the society of Orphnoch, many things have become strictly forbidden or even prohibited.

He really couldn't get it.
