Ultraman Any Key: Qiming

Chapter 115 111. Jupiter III and the Strange Hot Air Ship

Huimei sighed, "Jupiter 3 is still missing...it's been two months."

Jupiter 3, the probe launched into space by humans in the fourth episode of "Ultra Dragon Tiga" "Goodbye Earth"?
Qi Ming: "I didn't see this in the news."

Huimei: "This is top secret information from the Space Development Agency. Of course, no official news website will publish it. Being an astronaut is a very dangerous job."

Zhu Xingtuan was also very moved and praised their bravery and greatness in exploring dangerous unknown areas, and hoped that they could return safely.

Qi Ming thought that he would probably return, but would he be safe...

He asked Emi what the Defense Force and TPC planned to do with Bogaru.

"After a few times, the energy detector on the Feiyan showed that the energy in Bogaru's body was increasing."

"If it is knocked over, it will cause a huge explosion, powerful enough to sink half of the Japanese island."

"So after both sides reached an agreement, they planned to lure it to an uninhabited island in the Pacific Ocean, trap it with an energy barrier, and then destroy it with heavy firepower."

"The energy generated by the explosion after it falls will be blocked by the barrier, so it will not have any impact on the outside world."

Qi Ming nodded. It seems that although the TPC and defense forces in this world are full of terrorists, they are still useful.

This battle plan is almost identical to the one in the original play "Mebius".

Huimei showed a trace of worry: "But if Bogaru continues to devour powerful life forms, the energy in his body will further expand."

"The explosion would be so powerful it could completely destroy the island, with the aftermath spreading across the sea, causing a massive disaster for surrounding countries."

Qi Ming: "That's right."

Bogaru came to the Earth of this world and it was no different from entering a buffet restaurant.

Although it has helped them solve some problems, it has also increased the difficulty of dealing with them.

"I hope everything goes well. By the way, where are the others in the mountains?" Qi Ming asked.

Nishijo Nagi said that before Qi Ming came, the radar detected that the sky in area Z was releasing strong energy, so Kishida and Yamanaka went to scout.

On the other side, on Feiyan No. 1.

Kishida frowned. "Based on the equipment's analysis, there should be a monster over there."

Yamanaka disagreed, "If it were a monster, there would have been news of someone getting killed."

Soon, the object emitting powerful energy on the radar appeared in front of the two.

Kishida rubbed his eyes and said, "If I'm not mistaken... it's a hot air balloon with a lot of children on it."

Yamanaka looked relaxed: "See, I told you it wasn't a monster."

Kishida: "No, it's better to check closer."

Seeing the cool Feiyan No. 1 approaching, the children in the basket hanging from the hot air balloon were extremely excited and waved to Feiyan No. 1.

Yamanaka waved back at them, "They seem quite happy."

Kishida still didn't understand: "What exactly is this strong energy?"

"Could it be that the energy emanating from the children can be detected by the measuring device?"

"But this energy has reached the same level as a small monster."

Shan Zhong said cheerfully, "According to you, all children are little monsters, right?"

"There are so many balloon boats like this that charge fees for their services. Is it really necessary to conduct such a thorough inspection?"

"I think we've been too nervous lately, associating every little thing with monsters. We need to reflect on this."

Kishida heard him say this and felt that he was also in a state of panic. Meanwhile, Saijo Nagi inquired about the situation and asked them what was going on with the strong energy.

Yamanaka: "It was just a balloon full of children. The instrument might have detected something by mistake. This happens all the time."

Qi Ming: “?”

What the hell is this common thing? Are TPC’s instruments so unreliable?
A strong energy was detected on the balloon boat full of children, and it seemed that it was not that simple.

Not only Qi Ming, but Nishijo Nagi also felt that the matter could not be dealt with hastily. When they were about to ask more details, a new emergency occurred.

Huimei reports:

"Radar shows a large, unidentified flying object descending rapidly at Mach 4, meters above Area K!"

"Judging from this situation, it might be heading for the Space Development Bureau's high-purity energy storage base!"

Qi Ming's heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

It really means Cao Cao Cao Cao has arrived.

A huge flying object fell from the sky and headed straight for the high-purity energy storage base... This thing is most likely the Jupiter 3 that Huimei just mentioned!
In other words, the monster formed after the Jupiter III spacecraft was possessed by an unknown energy body - Ligadelon.

"You guys rush to the scene immediately." Said Nishijo Nagi. He called Qi Ming and Hui Mei and asked them to follow him on the Feiyan II.

In this way, everyone's attention was temporarily attracted by Ligardron rushing towards the new energy development base.

Although Qi Ming cared about it, he could only put the strange balloon boat aside for the time being.

..............................

After the Feiyan No. 1 piloted by Yamanaka and Kishida left, a strange blue light suddenly flashed from the hot air balloon pocket on the balloon ship.

After being illuminated by the light, the children who were lively and noisy just now became quiet one by one.

They stopped talking, their eyes were empty, as if they had become human sculptures.

Seeing this, the staff in charge of driving the balloon boat smiled with a look of success.

Soon, the balloon landed and the children walked out with light steps.

"How is it, what did you see?"

"Is it fun up there?"

But when faced with questions from other children, this first group of children did not answer, but walked straight forward, looking confused.

The other children thought they were just cowards who were scared by fear of heights, and didn't take it seriously. They crowded forward and wanted to ride the balloon boat too.

These children were just like the first group. They were lively when they went up to heaven, but lifeless when they came down.

Their souls were sucked away by the balloon.

"Okay, okay, that's all for today. It's time to get off work." The staff said an hour later.

Some children who didn't get to ride on the balloon boat were immediately unhappy: "We have been waiting in line for a long time, how can we just get off work just like that?"

"Then let me use these to compensate you." For the children who did not have the opportunity to ride in a hot air balloon, the staff gave each of them a balloon as an apology.

A strange scene happened.

The balloons these children received also flashed blue light, making them become very dull, as if they had amnesia.

The balloons in their hands were released and all floated into the huge hot air balloon.

The opening at its bottom was like a gaping bloody mouth, swallowing all the balloons containing the children's souls, and its volume suddenly expanded greatly.

It grows by consuming the soul energy contained in these balloons!
