Special effects: Saving the world starting from becoming a Zergling

Chapter 133 The Resurrected Kitazaki?

"What is this thing?!"

Qian Qiao followed behind him and saw Orphnoch looking at them, and was immediately surprised.

"They look alive, but they're actually dead."

Yuma stretched out a hand and touched the Orphnoch in front of him, and the Orphnoch instantly turned into sand.

After clearing away the Orphnoch blocking their way, the Meteor Academy came into view again.

The environment inside was both expected and unexpected.

The clean, tidy floor, the soft, newly lit lights, and the freshly replaced wallpaper —

There's nothing else besides that.

Meteor Academy, it's still the same Meteor Academy.

Yuzhen didn't see anything extra; it was as if this place was still the same sanctuary, unchanged by the passage of time.

"I thought this place would be turned into some kind of underground laboratory by the AI ​​company—"

Yuzhen complained.

This made Qian Qiao look at him speechlessly. Surely everything can't be the same as your world?

Kicking away the unsightly clump of sand on the ground, Yuuma stepped into the renovated Meteor Academy, quickly scanning his surroundings for any possible clues left by Hanagata.

Qian Qiao chose to walk in the other direction, and with the two of them working together, the entire Meteor Academy was quickly turned upside down.

There's nothing there—

The two finally met at the entrance of the passageway, looking at each other in bewilderment.

The entire Meteor Academy was spotless, as if it had been ransacked by thieves!

Apart from a few old photos pasted on the wall, Yuuma and Inui found nothing.

The two of them had already looked through those photos several times, but they couldn't find anything different about them.

Could it be that Hanagata really left nothing behind?

A question mark popped into Yuzhen's mind, but he quickly dismissed it.

Impossible. If Hanagata found out that what he said was true, he would definitely leave a message and tell them something!

The problem now is that they don't know what method Hanagata used to hide this information so perfectly within the Meteor Academy.

"What a cunning old fox! Even passing on a message requires such a troublesome method!"

Yuma couldn't help but complain.

He had seen through it all; in the world of Faiz, the Riddler had become a common label for everyone.

After touching his chin, Inui Takumi looked at the clump of sand that Yuuma had kicked apart.

"You tell me—why is there an Orphnoch here that breaks at the slightest touch?"

Inui's words made Yuuma turn his head and look at the clump of sand.

"Does the desertified Orphnoch represent something?"

After a period of intense brainstorming, Yuma had an idea.

He walked to the door, looked into the Meteor Academy, and found the spot where he had spoken with Hanagata years ago.

Then, he pulled Qian Qiao up and made him stand in the original position where the flower shape had been.

She stood where she had stood years ago, looking towards Qian Qiao.

"Is there anything different?"

Inui and Yuuma looked at each other and couldn't help but ask.

"It should be here."

Yuzhen muttered to herself, walked straight behind Inui Takumi, aimed at the wall, and threw a hard punch.

"Bang!!!"

The seemingly solid wall was easily breached by Yuzhen's fist, revealing a small cubicle inside.

???

"How did you find that out?"

Qian Qiao walked over to Youzhen, who had taken out the letter, and asked in a low voice.

"It's a very simple principle."

Yuma opened the letter while explaining it to Inui Takumi.

"Do you know which side President Hanagata is on?"

Qian Qiao shook his head blankly.

Seeing this, Yuuma continued, "President Hanagata is an Orphnoch, but he firmly believes that only humanity has a future."

"Therefore, his stance is on the side of humanity."

"And Orphnoch's desertification and death correspond precisely to the rebirth of humanity."

"And my new life with President Hanagata was probably our first meeting."

After explaining, Yuuma opened the letter in her hand.

While Inui Takumi pondered the letter, Yuuma quickly scanned its contents.

"You're right. The King of Orphnoch defeated Faiz with the help of a group of people of unknown origin."

"And this world will soon fall under the rule of the Orphnochs."

"Since I don't know how far into the future you are from, I have to resort to this extremely secretive method."

"I believe that once you get back, you will come here as soon as possible."

After reading the above passage, Yuma seemed to see the flower-shaped fox tail.

If someone destroys the mechanisms here before him, it proves that he is not capable enough and is not worth entrusting with the task.

If he can crack the secret here, then he will be worthy of the flower-shaped gift.

"Unwilling to suffer even the slightest loss —"

Yuzhen muttered to herself and continued looking down.

"I have completed what you told me."

"Presumably, under your plan, Kiba will be able to successfully enter the Brainpower Company later."

"To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, I also left a small gift inside the Meteor Academy, hoping it will be of some help to you."

At this point, all the information left by the flower shape has been explained.

Looking at the messy handwriting, Yuma guessed that Hanagata probably didn't have much time left.

"—I hope we can meet again."

Yuzhen sighed softly and took out several bottles of medicine from the cubicle.

Yuzhen looked through the potion; it was thoughtfully labeled "Extend Lifespan."

[Healing injuries]

Clearly, this is a medicine specifically designed to solve the problem of flower formation.

"I thought you wouldn't do anything and that we'd have to fight this battle alone."

"It seems they did leave behind some good stuff."

Taking back her previous assessment of Hanagata, Yuuma now thinks that the little old man Hanagata is actually quite cute.

"Yuuma, someone's here."

Just as Yuuma put the medicine into his pocket, Inui Takumi's voice reached his ears.

Yuma turned around and exchanged a glance with Inui Takumi, who was standing behind the door.

"What should we do?"

Qian Qiao listened intently to the echoing footsteps in the hallway outside the door and asked You Zhen.

"Hide first, then fight if you can't hide!"

Their current identities are rather sensitive, and Yuzhen doesn't want to be discovered yet.

But if she really can't avoid it, Yuuma won't refuse to fight.

"it is good."

Takumi followed Yuuma, and the two hid under the table, quietly waiting for the door to be pushed open.

"Squeak"

As the door hinges turned, Yuzhen pricked up her ears, listening intently to the sounds coming from the other side of the door.

But after that sound, Yuuma only received endless silence from that side.

The silence caused Yu-ma and Inui to breathe more heavily, their palms becoming damp.

"Could it be—he's found us?"

Inui Takumi turned his head to look at Yuuma, and Yuuma got the message from his eyes.

"Get ready to open your box, or you won't be able to transform if a fight breaks out later."

Yu-ma and Inui exchanged glances, communicating with each other through their eyes.

Just when all was quiet, the sudden sound of voices was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, instantly breaking the frozen atmosphere.

"Murakami, it's so boring here—is there anything interesting I can do?"

The familiar tone of voice almost made Qian Qiao cry out.

Fortunately, Yuzhen reacted quickly and covered Inui Takumi's mouth.

"What happened? Kitasaki, didn't I remember him being dead?!"

Yuma barely needed to think to guess what Inui Takumi was trying to say.

"It seems that something new has happened."

Yuma silently thought to herself, then gestured for Inui to continue listening to their conversation.

"Next, next!"

Murakami ignored Kitasaki, his face grim as he looked at the damaged wall and said in a deep voice.

"That old bastard Hanagata really did leave something here."

Murakami stomped on the sand beneath his feet, stepped over the damaged wall, and peered inside.

And the result, naturally, was nothing.

Everything was in Yuuma's arms at that moment.

"It seems a little mouse has broken in and taken something important."

Kitasaki looked at Murakami, whose face was so gloomy it looked like it was about to drip water, and sneered.

"Kitazaki, don't forget, you've already died."

Murakami turned to look at Kitasaki, his fierce gaze almost devouring Kitasaki whole.

"Murakami, don't forget, you're nothing more than a pathetic wretch who was spared by the King!"

Upon hearing Murakami's words, Kitasaki's expression grew cold.

The thing he hates to hear most right now is hearing others mention how he was once defeated by several knights!

'

Without wasting words, Murakami transformed into an Orphnoch and confronted Kitazaki. Kitazaki, not to be outdone, transformed into a dragon-type Orphnoch and stared directly at Murakami.

The slightly lively atmosphere instantly froze again.

Just as Yu-ma and the other woman were about to hear something else, another female voice interrupted.

"Everyone is serving the king. This Cold War is just making us a laughing stock."

It's Saeko Kageyama!

At Kuang Zi's words, the two of them snorted coldly and transformed back into their human forms.

Then, Murakami looked into the Meteor Academy with a serious expression: "The company has been invaded by some unknown rats. We'll have to clean it up properly."

"If we thwart the king's grand plan, he will not let us off the hook."

After hearing Murakami's words, Saeko Kageyama chuckled: "Let's go after Yuji Kiba first!"

"That guy's stance is uncertain; there's no need to keep him around."

"As for that woman and Kaidou Naoya, kill them as well."

When you do something, be decisive!

If you're going to kill, kill them all!

These words sent a chill down Qian Qiao's spine, who was hiding to the side; something bad was about to happen!

But the two still dared not speak until the Meteor Academy door closed again and the footsteps of the group gradually faded away, only then did they dare to peek out.

"Yuma, should we contact Kiba? —"

"Wait a little longer, I believe Kiba can handle things here."

"With the money I gave him, there shouldn't be any problems for now."

"After all, the current AI companies are places where the pursuit of ultimate wealth is considered a dream."

Yu-chan put Inui's mind at ease.

He knew in his heart that as long as wealth continued to flow in the world, there would always be people who were intoxicated by money.

Especially now, this smart brain company has implanted the idea of ​​thirsting for business into everyone's mind.

"So now we—"

Qian Qiao hesitated for a moment, then asked You Zhen.

"Let's go out now and contact the lumberyard later tonight."

Yu-chan learned from her mistakes.

He walked to the door, listened for a moment, and then quickly led Inui Takumi across the spiral staircase and left Meteor Academy.

The two went straight down the elevator and walked out of the imposing skyscraper under the watchful eyes of the receptionist.
