Chapter 868 The Small Town of Palaj!
The Science Search Team is affiliated with the Paris headquarters of the International Science Police Agency.
The team currently consists of five members: team leader Muramatsu, and members Hayata Susumu, Ichika Mitsuhiro, Arashi Daisuke, and Fuji Akiko.
Following the mysterious meteorite fall in the Middle East, a member of the Cottage team from the Paris headquarters arrived at the Neon division today.
"Hello, my name is Jim." The blond, blue-eyed Frenchman extended his hand to Captain Muramatsu.
Then, he greeted the elites of the Japanese branch one by one.
"The main location of this incident is in the Arabian Desert, where there is a place known to the locals as the 'Devil's Land,' where inexplicable supernatural phenomena frequently occur. These phenomena have become more frequent since the appearance of the mysterious meteorite," Jim explained.
"After learning about the situation, the Paris headquarters sent investigation teams there more than once, but they all came up empty-handed. So we thought of the elites at the Japanese branch."
"We will cooperate with headquarters to complete this mission." Captain Muramatsu puffed out his chest, very satisfied with the description of 'elite'.
Jim: "Then let's not delay, let's go."
This operation was a special mission for the Paris headquarters, so almost the entire team from the Japanese branch was mobilized, leaving only Akiko Fuji at headquarters to handle communications.
"Om-"
With the massive movement of the mechanical equipment, the Vito fighter jet was lifted onto the base's takeoff runway via an elevator platform.
All team members were in position, the fighter jet engines started, and they soared into the sky!
Meanwhile, at Black Star Cafe, everyone had already cooked dumplings.
"Wow, this is really delicious!" Guangcheng exclaimed.
Biting through the thin, chewy dough releases a savory and fragrant flavor that fills your mouth. The monster meat is tender and bouncy, while the tofu has a soft and chewy texture after cooking. The soft and tender glass noodles in the filling add a unique flavor.
Apart from him, almost no one around him spoke; everyone was busy eating.
Su Yang looked at the people eating dumplings with their heads down, then went into the kitchen again and brought out a dipping sauce made of vinegar, chili oil, and minced garlic.
"If you think the flavor is too bland, you can dip it in."
The alien was the first to dip his finger in, then shoved it whole into his mouth: "Mmm~"
A moment later, probably realizing how delicious the oil dish was, the man picked up the oil dish and drank it like soup, gulping it all down.
Baruru: "Hey, how can you be so selfish? You drank it all, what are we supposed to dip in?"
"Do you have such a strong taste?" Xiao Yao frowned, sensing that this long-haired man's sense of taste was a bit off.
"The taste is just right." The Zou Ren wiped the oil from his mouth and grinned.
"You guys keep eating, I'm going out for a walk." Seeing that everyone was enjoying their meal, Su Yang took the lead and left the table.
There's something going on in the Middle East. Since we've come all this way, let's go check it out.
"I'll go too." The Ultraman who had come to protect this parallel universe on the orders of his lord dared not relax for a moment.
“Then I will too…” the cosmic man raised his hand.
He knew that Manager Jetton wouldn't leave for no reason; it was highly likely that he had sensed the presence of some monster.
"Me too, me too!" Baluru quickly swallowed the dumpling in her mouth and followed. "It's been so long since I've done anything with the adults."
"Since you've all left, let's go together after we finish eating," said Guangcheng.
Xiao Yao: "It wouldn't hurt to bring this plate of dumplings along, we can eat them on the way..."
Su Yang: "..."
Yes, that's definitely possible.
……
The Arabian Desert, located in northeastern Africa, covers an area of approximately 2.33 million square kilometers, making it the second largest desert in the world. Its main terrain consists of gravel desert and rocky hills.
The Vito fighter jets had now arrived above the desert and were cruising in the sky at a relatively slow speed.
Su Yang teleported here with everyone from the shop, thoughtfully providing them with Arabic-style headscarves.
"It looks ordinary." Guangcheng choked while chewing dumplings, and kept pounding his chest with his hands.
Su Yang thoughtfully got him a drink: "Have a drink."
After saying that, he looked around and identified a certain direction: "Go that way, there's a city over there."
Baruru: "You can't see anything in the desert."
"I can sense an unusual energy over there..." The little black cat looked at Lord Jetton.
"Yes, a very familiar energy."
……
Onboard the Vito fighter jet, Jim, who was stationed at the Paris headquarters, was describing the situation in the Arabian desert to everyone: "We've arrived in the land of the devils."
"Legend has it that sand sinkholes often occur here, and the chances of seeing mirages will increase after you come here."
“People often see a city called Palaj in the desert, but no one has ever actually entered it. Over time, people have come to call it the ghost city.”
"Could this mysterious incident be the work of ghosts?" Yi Chu, a member of the team, said in a low voice.
"Don't make such unfounded guesses. We are a science special search team." Captain Muramatsu rolled his eyes at him.
"Look ahead!" Jim suddenly shouted.
A seven-colored beam of light appeared in front of the Vito fighter jet, extending upwards from the ground like a vertical rainbow.
Hayata, who was piloting the fighter jet, jerked the control stick: "The control stick has malfunctioned due to the influence of an unknown electromagnetic wave!"
"We can't leave!"
Captain Muramatsu: "Then let's speed up and see if we can make it through!"
……
The members of the Kurt team on the fighter jet were on the brink of life and death.
Meanwhile, Su Yang and his group, who were in the same desert, sat comfortably on sand sleds.
The cat pulling the sled looked at the people chatting and laughing behind it and became unhappy: "Can't we find someone else to pull it? There are only dogs pulling sleds, never cats!"
Guangcheng: "That's not right. Are you willing to be overshadowed by those dogs?"
Su Yang laughed too: "Don't really think of yourself as a cat or dog. You're a doomsday summoner."
"Destruction brings about the body..." The cosmic man chewed on the word repeatedly: "I... I feel like I've heard it somewhere before."
"Then you try to pull the lever. You've been chatting and eating in the back all this time, you'll forget about it soon." Song Sheng naturally took over the conversation and pushed Zhou Ren to the position of pulling the lever.
The cosmic people didn't have many objections. After taking the rope, they transformed into hardworking oxen and horses, pulling everyone slowly across the sand.
"Destruction-Inducing Body..."
"Where did the adult find him?" The kitten had already noticed the man's unusual nature and jumped onto the adult's shoulder to ask.
Su Yang: "The Neo O was discovered on Monster Star a while ago. When I found him, he had already lost his memory. I also felt that this guy had a secret, so I accompanied him to find his memories."
"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore, we've arrived at our destination." Su Yang looked up and pointed straight ahead.
An earthen-yellow city came into view.
The city is not grand in scale, nor does it have any modern facilities; it is so simple that it carries a sense of historical weight.
