Special effects: Saving the world starting from becoming a Zergling

"Have you still not found Kabuto's whereabouts?"

"Including that strange alien insect."

Mr. Tadokoro lowered his head slightly as he listened to his superior's questioning: "I'm sorry, we were unable to participate in the recent Zerg incidents and only found some remains at the end."

"Their movements were faster than we imagined."

The person in the earpiece snorted coldly.

"No matter the reason, Kabuto must not be left out of ZECT."

"That troublesome alien insect must also be eliminated."

The call was disconnected. Tadokoro covered his forehead and looked at the video clip on the monitor.

Those were clips of Kabuto's recent battles and Yuuma's activities in various places.

"This is troublesome. How did a Zergling end up with a Kabuto? Could it be that the Kabuto has betrayed us?"

Tadokoro thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't figure out what the necessary connection was.

"Misaki, how's the progress on Kagami's side?" Tadokoro asked Misaki, who was also looking at the big screen behind him, unable to think of anything.

"There's not much progress on his end either." Misaki opened the document in her hand and handed it to Tadokoro.

"The last alien insect was his younger brother, whom he killed with his own hands. He has been depressed for a long time because of this."

Looking at the notes Kagami had written, Tadokoro rubbed his temples. "I should find some time to comfort him. He can't stay depressed forever; there are some things he still needs to do."

After all, Kagami is the head of the investigation team that is openly investigating Yuuma, so she can't stay in a state of stagnation forever.

In that case, he wouldn't be able to stop the organization from holding him accountable.

"I understand." Misaki nodded.

To be honest, she still feels sorry for the newcomer, but because of her mission, she can't find the time to visit Kagami.

Now that Tadokoro has spoken, she has a perfect opportunity to visit Kagami.

At the entrance of the Heavenly Dao family

Xiao Xu hid by the door of the Tiandao family, looking somewhat awkward, while You Zhen was much less reserved.

"The Way of Heaven!" he shouted into the courtyard.

Tendou, who was preparing breakfast for Shuka inside the house, was taken aback. Looking out through the glass, he saw Yuuma waving his hands and Xiaoxu, whose clothes were only partially visible.

"Click."

The door opened, and Xiaoxu and Youzhen entered Tiandao's house together.

Yuuma, who was very outgoing, sat down on the sofa as soon as he entered the room, which made Tendo glance at him sideways.

Xiao Xu put her bag on the coffee table and followed Tian Dao into the kitchen to make breakfast for Shu Hua.

These were the conditions they had just agreed upon: Xiaoxu would make breakfast for Shuhua, while Tiandao would go and help comfort Kagami.

As for Yuuma?

He clutched the two tickets to the World Flower Show in his hand; they were secretly given to Yuuma by Yuuko before they left.

Faced with Yumiko's smiling face, Yuuma couldn't bring himself to refuse and naturally accepted it.

After all, he had originally planned to take Xiao Xu to see the flower show, something Xiao Xu couldn't do in the original drama.

Yuzhen felt a little annoyed at the thought of Tendou standing her up.

He clearly had the armored fighting equipment; it wouldn't have taken much effort for him to knock out those ant soldiers or escape. Yet, he obediently got captured, which didn't seem like the way of Heaven at all.

And after he learned that Xiao Xu was his sister, he was so eager to make amends—the fragmented plot collided repeatedly in Youzhen's mind, causing his eyes to involuntarily begin to look around the Tiandao family.

Finally, his gaze settled on the bag on the coffee table.

"Xiao Xu's bag..."

Yuzhen looked at the notebook with a corner sticking out, and after looking left and right to make sure no one saw it, she tried to take it out of her bag.

Even if you know what's drawn on it, seeing it in person has a different meaning.

"Yuzhen, how could you be so perverted..." He cursed himself as he pulled half of the notebook out of his bag and saw half of the painting.

"What is this?" Yuzhen's gaze sharpened, and just as he was about to pull it all out, a warm "Good morning" interrupted his actions.

Watching the tree blossoms hopping down from upstairs, Yuzhen calmly pushed the notebook back into her bag, ensuring it wasn't exposed at all.

"Are you...my brother's friends?" As soon as she asked the question, she seemed to answer it herself: "This is the first time I've ever seen my brother bring his friends home."

Shuka, sitting at the other end of the sofa, excitedly asked Yuuma, "What's your brother like outside? Is he a very gentle person? What does he usually do when he's with you guys?"

A barrage of questions left Yuma scratching her face, unsure how to answer.

You can't say that the Heavenly Dao is either showing off or on its way to showing off every day, right? What are they doing every day... naturally, they're ruthlessly killing alien insects.

Yuzhen dared not tell Shuhua these words.

He bet that if he dared to say it, once he stepped outside, he would definitely be stopped by a monster that surpasses Hyper.

That kind of thing is anything but pleasant.

"Tree Flower, dinner's ready." Tendou's voice sounded, making Yuuma breathe a sigh of relief.

Upon hearing Tiandao's voice, Shuhua ran into the kitchen and greeted him, "Good morning, brother!"

The energetic voice made the expressionless Tiandao smile: "Let's eat."

After saying that, he led the astonished Xiao Xu out of the kitchen and sat down on the sofa.

"It's truly a rare sight that the Heavenly Dao can actually laugh." Xiao Xu didn't try to hide it from You Zhen and said it directly.

He can not only laugh, but also get anxious.

Yu Zhen inwardly grumbled, but showed no emotion on her face.

"Let's set off after we finish eating the tree flowers." Tendou took a sip of tea from the table, ignoring Xiaoxu's words, and glared at the innocent Youzhen.

If it weren't for him, Kagami might not have been so depressed for so long.

"I am innocent." Yuuma winked at Tendou.

Tendou didn't look at Yuzhen's expression behind him; he was afraid he wouldn't be able to resist beating that bitch again.

Aside from Xiaoxu and Shuhua later on, Youzhen is probably the only one who can stir up changes in the Heavenly Dao's emotions.

Although most of the emotions are negative.

"Brother, I'm leaving!" After finishing her meal, Shuhua slung her bag over her shoulder, said goodbye, and hurriedly left home.

Tiandao and the other two followed Shuhua and left home.

"Where have Xiao Xu and You Zhenren gone? And where is the Heavenly Dao...?"

Kagami squatted in front of Sal's sign, which listed today's dishes, her mind wandering.

Logically speaking, at this time of day, Tiandao and the others should be having breakfast at Sal.

But today, apart from him and Sister Gongzi, we didn't see anyone else.

"squeak--"

"I never imagined that someone who can't do housework could work so hard."

As Kagami was pondering this question, the sound of brakes came from behind, followed by a familiar voice that made Kagami turn around.

"Father?!"
