Anime Crossover: My Part-Time Job as a Giant of Light While Studying Abroad in Chiba

……

"Beep beep beep, beep beep beep."

Just as the atmosphere was beginning to warm up, Daigo's PDI communicator suddenly rang.

"Excuse me, please wait a moment."

Daigo turned on the communication, and the next second, Nozue's face appeared on the screen.

"Team Leader Daigo, we have received an urgent report that an unidentified object has been unearthed in an underground foundation pit at a construction site in the new district outside Chiba. Please proceed to investigate immediately."

"Understood, I'll be there right away."

"Detailed data has been sent to your device, and Horii is on his way."

……

After hanging up the call, Daigo's expression became sharp and serious.

"Are we going on a mission?" Hong Kai asked.

"Yes. Thank you all very much for the coffee."

Daigo looked up, finished the rest of his espresso in one gulp, and his eyes regained their clarity.

"I will do...what I believe is right."

Goodbye, everyone.

With the crisp sound of wind chimes, Daigo pushed open the shop door, his figure quickly disappearing into the sunlight of Chiba.

Watching Daigo's hurried departure, both Kai and Mirai couldn't help but sigh.

"Sigh, what a meticulous person. If someone with this kind of personality doesn't stand firm in their stance, they'll easily suffer losses."

"But as long as one can hold firm to their position, someone like him can definitely unleash tremendous power, just like Duan Jun."

"I can't believe it," Wei Lai sincerely commented, before both of their gazes fell on Duan Zilian at the same time.

Duan Zilian, who was tidying up coffee cups, became interested when she heard what the two were saying, and put her hands on her hips and hummed twice.

"Of course, who am I? I'm Duan Zilian, haha."

Seeing Duan Zilian's proud expression, Hong Kai chuckled and teased him before getting back to work.

It was at this moment that a thought inexplicably flashed through Duan Zilian's mind.

“Ancient civilization…” he murmured softly.

Chapter 233 The Evil Egg Sleeping on the Earth (4)

The Sherlock car came to a steady stop at the entrance of the Chiba construction site, with a Stiga motorcycle parked not far away with its engine off.

Daigo pushed open the car door and jogged quickly toward the excavation pit.

Directly in front of him, Horii had already arrived at the scene.

At this moment, Horii was carrying two silver briefcases and confronting a group of workers wearing hard hats; the scene was clearly tense.

"Hey, can you guys dressed like race car drivers stop making such a fuss? It's just a rock that's a little oddly shaped."

The foreman, with his arms crossed, looked impatient.

"Uncle, everything has to be based on scientific evidence. No matter what you say, you have to let me measure it with instruments first. How can you joke about the lives of thousands of people without proof?"

Horii argued his case logically, though a hint of dissatisfaction was visible on his chubby face.

"...Alright, alright, since you're already here, go ahead and do the testing. As long as it doesn't interfere with our work."

The foreman was clearly helpless; he waved his hand and stepped aside to make way.

After saying that, he turned his head, glared fiercely at Morikawa Kaede who was standing not far away, grabbed him and pulled him into a corner, and said in a low voice.

"What are you up to, kid? How did you actually manage to bring over people from TPC?"

"No, supervisor... that stone really is there..." Morikawa Kaede's face turned red with anxiety as he tried to explain.

"Supervisor, it was me who made the call."

Just as Morikawa Kaede was at a loss, Gota suddenly stepped forward.

“It was my phone that called GUTS’s emergency hotline. There really is something wrong with that rock, and it has nothing to do with Morikawa.”

Hearing that Gonta was willing to take the blame to protect himself, Morikawa Kaede panicked and quickly grabbed Gonta's arm.

"Gang Tai-kun! Supervisor... no, I told him..."

"Alright, alright, shut up, you two. Anyway, the TPC people are already here, so there's no point in saying anything more."

The supervisor interrupted them, tapping their chests with his finger, his tone somewhat helpless.

"You two better pray that nothing goes wrong. There's a kindergarten and residential area right next to this stadium, and everyone's waiting to use it."

"Don't cause me any more trouble, or I'll fire you both."

The supervisor snorted and turned to call the other workers to continue moving the steel bars.

"director……"

Morikawa Kaede clenched his fists, his heart filled with self-blame and worry.

Just then, Daigo arrived at the edge of the pit.

"Daigo! You've come at the right time! Come and help me set up the equipment!"

Hori saw Daigo as if he had seen a savior and waved to him. Daigo quickly walked over as well.

The next second, Horii opened the briefcase in his left hand, which contained some precision parts.

"The pulsed biological scanner can detect the presence of life processes and estimate the approximate age of the target."

Horii explained to Daigo as he quickly assembled the parts.

"Based on the shape of this stone, I suspect it might be the egg of some kind of creature."

"Egg?" Morikawa Kaede looked nervous upon hearing this, while the supervisor next to him looked completely incredulous.

"We just hit it with a big iron shovel several times, what kind of egg can be so hard?"

Daigo ignored him and worked with Horii to firmly fix the scanner tripod in front of the stone.

"What's next?"

"Press the red start button and point the probe at the stone to scan. I will then connect to the terminal to perform data analysis."

Daigo pressed the button as instructed.

"Om-"

The scanner instantly emitted a fan-shaped blue light screen, scanning up and down the huge rock covered with barnacles and shells.

Horii opened the tactical computer in the box on the right and his ten fingers flew across the keyboard.

Gradually, a 3D perspective model of the stone began to appear on the screen, and the data on the right side also appeared.

"The preliminary dating results are in..." Horii stared at the screen and gasped.

"Preliminary data monitoring indicates that this thing comes from the Late Jurassic period; it's really an ancient artifact."

"Jurassic period?" Everyone was surprised to hear that.

"Moreover, its surface is covered with a large number of petrified barnacles and shellfish. Logically, this should be the egg of some kind of aquatic giant beast. Why would it appear in the terrestrial strata of Chiba?"

Horii frowned.

"So it really is an egg?" Morikawa Kaede's palms were covered in cold sweat.

"However, after tens of millions of years, even dinosaur eggs should have turned into fossils and died long ago." Horii tapped the screen.

"But according to your statements, its volume has swelled to at least double, which means it is at least currently active, and I need to perform deeper dialysis."

Daigo looked serious and pushed the scanner to its maximum power.

……

"No, the density of this shell is too high. Conventional sound waves cannot detect the embryo's condition inside."

Horii looked at the static data on the screen and said in a low voice.

"What should we do then?"

"Switch to electromagnetic resonance mode to capture its bioelectric signals."

Horii stood up and turned a knob on the side of the instrument.

"Sizzle—!!!"

The next second, the instrument suddenly emitted a low humming sound.

The sound wasn't loud, but it traveled through the earth and instantly entered the chest cavity of everyone present.

"It's so amazing... I feel my body trembling."

Daigo touched his chest and said with some curiosity.

"Wait a minute... the deep data is coming out." Horii pressed his face against the screen.

Upon hearing this, everyone rushed over to see, and Daigo quickly stretched out his arms to keep everyone at a safe distance.

"W-How is it?" Morikawa Kaede mustered her courage and asked loudly.

"Oh my god..."

The next second, Horii exclaimed in surprise as he watched the rapidly rising red waveform on the screen.

"This thing not only has life activity, but also an astonishing amount of energy! The electromagnetic resonance just now disturbed it."

"It is currently absorbing the energy of resonance, and the activity in the data is increasing rapidly!"

Almost at the same instant Horii shouted those words, the surface of the white stone suddenly lit up with flashes of light, followed by a muffled sound.

"Thump!...Thump!...Thump!"

"This...this is a heartbeat?!" a worker nearby exclaimed.

"Wha...what's going on?!" The foreman was so frightened by the glowing stone that he fell down into the mud.

The next second, under everyone's watchful eyes, the stone began to expand and grow rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Daigo! Quickly!! Organize everyone to evacuate immediately!!!"

Horii roared and slammed the laptop shut.

Daigo instantly drew his Hyper gun from his waist, turned around, and shouted at the surrounding crowd.

"Everyone, run towards the gate!! Drop everything, something inside is about to hatch!!!"

"What?! It really is a monster!!!"

The workers on the perimeter were terrified by this strange sight and quickly dropped their shovels and hard hats, fleeing frantically toward the gate.

The contractor exclaimed in surprise upon seeing this.

"Run, everyone! A monster is about to appear!!"

After shouting those words, he stumbled and ran outside.

"Gonta-kun! I told you so! Run!!"

Morikawa Kaede anxiously grabbed the still-dazed Gonta and ran wildly backward with the crowd.

Gangtai's face turned pale, and he could only nod repeatedly, his legs weak as he ran after him.

However, before the fleeing group had run fifty meters, an unprecedented and violent tremor suddenly erupted from beneath everyone's feet.

"What's going on?!"

Daigo, who was covering the workers' evacuation, was also nearly knocked over by the inexplicable tremor.

The next second, his PDI beeped again. Daigo quickly answered it, and Nori's face appeared on the screen.

"Yorui, this is Daigo. What happened?"

"Team Leader Daigo, get out of there immediately!! Satellite data shows that an unidentified, high-temperature life form is rapidly approaching from right beneath your feet!!"

"What?! There's another one underground?!"
