Special effects: Saving the world starting from becoming a Zergling

"Going to the baseball field this afternoon? Okay! Got it!" Kagami Shin hung up the phone, feeling full of energy.

"Did you get a call from your brother?" Xiao Xu asked curiously.

Kagami was excited all morning, and he happily repeated the story hundreds of times, which is how Xiaoxu found out about it.

"Okay, I won't be coming this afternoon or evening!"

Kagami grinned foolishly and wiped the table again and again with a rag until Xiaoxu reminded him, at which point he realized what he was doing and awkwardly stopped what he was doing.

"Focus on your work, I'll talk to Yumiko-nee." Xiaoxu looked at Kagami's silly expression and told him to concentrate.

"Okay!" Kagami shouted, picked up the rag in his hand, and worked even harder.

Time flies, and the cicadas' chirping echoes throughout the street.

Kagami wiped the sweat from his forehead and sat on the baseball field, completely unaware of what he was about to experience.

Without the interference of the Heavenly Dao and ZECT, the meeting between the brothers went very smoothly.

"Ryo!" Kagami Shinjo waved to Ryo.

Xiao Liang heard Kagami Shin's voice and responded by waving vigorously at him.

"Brother!" He ran over breathlessly and handed Kagami the baseball and bat he was holding.

"Let's play baseball again, just like two years ago!" Ryo put on his gloves, which surprised Kagami.

"Two years ago...didn't the doctor say you couldn't continue playing as a pitcher?"

"Two years have passed. Nothing is absolute. I'm changing, and isn't my brother changing too?"

Listening to Xiao Liang's words, Kagami Shin thought about what he had been doing recently and nodded in agreement.

After all, two years can be a very short time, as short as the time it takes for brothers to meet twice.

"Come on then!" Kagami's baseball skills were not good; they could only be described as terrible.

But even if he can't hit his younger brother, Kagami Arata is happy when he's with him.

But he was so happy that he didn't realize that every time he looked down, the sickness and madness in Kagami Ryo's eyes would appear on his face.

"Ryo, have you been happy these past few years?" Kagami Shin asked, thinking about her meeting with Ryo yesterday.

"I guess... I'd say I'm happy?" Kagami Ryou hesitated slightly when faced with this question.

Yesterday, his brother asked him where he had been for the two years he disappeared, but he didn't answer and couldn't give a reply.

After all, as an alien insect, his life consisted of either killing humans or on his way to kill humans; he had no fixed abode.

In the two years that followed, his will was already wavering, he killed at least a hundred people.

But is this really happiness? Even Kagami Ryo, who has become an alien insect, doesn't know.

Perhaps from the day the Zerg killed him, apart from his deepest obsession, most of his human emotions had long since dissipated, leaving only his purest instinct as a Zerg—to reproduce.

"Ryo, what's wrong? If you don't want to answer, then you don't have to." Looking at Ryo Kagami's bewildered face, Shin Kagami shook his shoulder, pulling him back from his memories.

"It's nothing, brother." He smiled at Kagami Shin and launched his plan without hesitation.

"Let's talk about reunion later, after my brother becomes an Zerg."

"We're not even family anymore!"

Kagami Ryo muttered to himself, his obsession already distorted by the insect's instinct.

Just as Kagami Shin was worried about Kagami Ryo, a large number of green-skinned insects suddenly emerged from the grass!

This includes summons from both Kagami Ryo and Yuuma!

Yuzhen had already arrived at the rooftop of a high-rise building not far from where the two met.

To Yuzhen, those scenes of brotherly affection and respect were nothing more than blatant mockery.

"It's time to reveal your true colors, Kagami Ryou." A sudden gust of wind caused the hem of Yuuma's trench coat to flutter violently.

He shielded his forehead with his hand and squinted at the distance—dark clouds were gradually approaching.

"It's going to rain," Yuma whispered.

"How can there be so many alien insects?!"

Without Tiandao's reminder, Kagami Shin didn't bring a pistol at all. He nervously stood in front of Kagami Ryo, comforting his younger brother behind him.

"Xiao Liang, don't be afraid. I'll protect you!"

But he was completely unaware that his younger brother behind him was now consumed by nothing but the purest desire.

Let me eat you up, brother.

That way, we can be together forever.

That way you can protect me at all times.

"As expected of an alien insect, it was completely unable to maintain its rationality as a human when facing Kagami Shin.

Yuma shook his head in disappointment as he watched Kagami Ryo about to transform into her original form.

"I thought that you could regain a bit of your human consciousness while spending time with Kagami Arata."

"If you've been a worm for too long, is it really true that you can never come back to reality?"

His original plan was to have Kagami Ryo stage a "hero saves the beauty" scene to make Kagami Shin believe that the so-called alien insects were also different.

Then, he took action again, personally extinguishing Kagami Shin's hopes and making Kagami Shin realize that the Zerg should be killed!

However, it now appears that this plan will be abandoned.

Yuzhen stood with his hands in his trench coat pockets, gazing at the sky, a cool breeze falling on his face.

The rain finally came down.

"Drink up!"

Unarmed, Kagami Arata was helpless against the alien insects that surrounded him. He could only barely drive them away to cover Kagami Ryo's escape.

A thunderclap sounded in the sky, and a torrential downpour suddenly poured down, blurring the scene and obscuring Kagami Arata's vision.

"Ah Liang, you'd better run!"

He touched the person behind him, but the feeling he got back was strange.

Kagami Arata turned around in disbelief and saw a terrifying face.

It's a molting alien insect! A molting alien insect!

He suddenly took a few steps back and hurriedly searched for Kagami Ryo's figure in the continuous rain, but there was nothing around except for a large number of alien insects!

"Sorry, brother. I just couldn't help it. Hahaha..."

The phantom image of Kagami Akira appeared on the alien insect in front of him, which made Kagami Shin extremely angry.

"You bastard!" He rushed forward and punched Kagami Ryo in the chest, but was knocked back several steps by the powerful exoskeleton.

"Brother, become an alien insect too. That way, we can be together forever." Kagami Ryo opened his arms, looked at Kagami Arata who had been knocked back, and let the rain wash over him, laughing loudly.

The rain mingled with the furious flames in Kagami Shin's eyes. He stared intently, almost wanting to kill all the alien insects surrounding him.

Why?!

Rain soaked his hair as he questioned Kagami Ryo in front of him.

"Brother should have guessed it long ago." The insect kept making Kagami Ryo's voice, which made Kagami Shin extremely irritated.

"It's simple, brother." An unmolted alien insect walked up to Kagami Shin and knocked him down onto the rain-soaked ground.

The mud mixed with Kagami Shin's desperate face made him look utterly broken.

The brown insect walked up to Kagami Shin and uttered the cruelest words: "Because of you, brother, you were too late that night two years ago."

Two years ago, I died because my brother was late. Our promise, too, began to be broken from that night onward.

A sharp pain surged through Kagami's heart, and his vision went black as he nearly fainted.

So... he was late...
