Chapter 405 Father Alien? A Mysterious Invader Lurking on Earth!
A week passed in the blink of an eye.
It's 8 PM in Xia Kingdom time.
The pages on major video platforms refreshed on time, and the eighteenth episode of "Goss" officially premiered!
This episode corresponds to episode 38 of the Tsuburaya Productions version.
The original 37-episode series "Wind Blows Team Members Resign" has plot logic flaws that cannot be easily fixed by simple modifications, so it can only be skipped.
now.
Countless tokusatsu fans who had just finished get off work or school, or were resting in bed, were already waiting in front of their screens.
With each click of a finger, a dense crowd of viewers flooded the playback page.
The progress bar starts jumping, and the main feature screen lights up.
Accompanied by a low, suspenseful background music, the camera pans to the vast universe.
A strangely shaped, mysterious object is speeding through the dark space. Its shape is irregular, its surface is pitted and uneven, and it emits a faint, eerie blue light.
This mysterious object broke straight through Earth's atmosphere, leaving a long trail of flame, and fell like a meteor into the mountains near the Xia Kingdom's SRC Research Center.
The massive impact triggered a minor earthquake, raising clouds of dust.
Meanwhile, in the command center of the youth elite team.
"Captain, a faint, unusual radio wave has just been detected in area M-2!"
The scene changes, and it's now the morning of the next day.
The sun was shining brightly, and cars were coming and going on the streets.
Musashi was driving the elite youth patrol car slowly through the streets of the M-2 area.
He gripped the steering wheel with both hands, scanning the surrounding streets, trying to find the source of the mysterious radio waves.
"This is Musashi."
Musashi pressed the communicator.
"No abnormalities have been found in area M-2 so far. What happened to that strange object that fell down?"
Captain Qingguang's voice came through the communicator.
"So far, that strange object hasn't shown any unusual activity."
"All monitoring data are very stable."
"I see."
Musashi sighed.
"I'll patrol the area one more time, and if I don't find anything, I'll prepare to return to base."
Just as Musashi was about to turn the steering wheel and turn around.
"Bang!"
The passenger door was suddenly pulled open.
A young girl in a school uniform, carrying a backpack, jumped into the car without saying a word.
The girl shouted urgently:
"A very ferocious alien is chasing me!"
Musashi was startled by this sudden turn of events.
"Spaceman?"
Musashi was stunned.
As a member of the youth elite team, he was quite sensitive to this word.
He immediately turned his head alertly and looked out the car window.
Following the direction the girl ran, a middle-aged man in a wrinkled suit with a bald head was seen running breathlessly from the overpass not far away.
The man, drenched in sweat, ran while anxiously looking around, calling out loudly:
"Xiao Xiang! Xiao Xiang! Where did you go?"
The man looked around on the overpass, his tone full of ingratiation and helplessness:
"It's all Daddy's fault! It's all Daddy's fault! Xiao Xiang, don't run away!"
"Xiao Xiang, I'll buy you the latest phone or anything else, come home with me!"
Xiao Xiang, sitting in the passenger seat, turned her head to the side, her face full of disgust.
"He's not my dad!"
Xiao Xiang pointed at the bald man outside the car window and shouted to Musashi, "He's an Alien from Dad Planet!"
Musashi looked out the window at the humble-looking father, then at the willful girl beside him, and was at a loss for words.
This isn't some alien attack incident at all; it's clearly just a father and daughter having a fight and running away from home.
Seeing that Musashi remained unmoved, Xiao Xiang simply gave the order herself: "Big brother, ignore him! Drive! Take me to the city center!"
"Stop fooling around."
Musashi straightened his face and said in a serious tone:
"Running away from home is wrong. Get off the bus now and go home with your father."
"I wasn't fooling around!"
Xiao Xiang retorted in a huff.
He always complains that my skirt is too short and tells me not to be playful and to study hard.
"It's so annoying how she nags all day long!"
"Get off the bus immediately."
Musashi refused the girl's unreasonable request without hesitation, pushed open the passenger door, and ordered her to leave.
Seeing that Musashi wouldn't listen to reason, Xiaoxiang stomped her foot in frustration, picked up her schoolbag, and reluctantly got off the bus.
Because she was in such a hurry, Xiao Chan's backpack zipper wasn't closed properly, and a very oddly shaped panda plush toy fell out of the bag and landed on her seat.
Musashi reacted quickly, grabbing the panda plush toy and chasing after it from the car.
"Wait a minute! You left something behind!"
Musashi shouted.
Xiao Xiang turned around, saw the doll in Musashi's hand, her eyes suddenly darted around, and she screamed loudly:
"Let me go! What do you think you're doing?!"
The scream immediately attracted the attention of passersby.
Coincidentally, a patrol officer responsible for maintaining order in the area happened to be passing by on his bicycle.
Upon hearing the cries for help, the patrol officer immediately stopped his car and strode over.
Xiao Xiang immediately hid behind the patrol officer, pointed at Musashi, and accused him with a wronged expression, "Officer, please save me! This person is an alien! He's trying to arrest me!"
Musashi stood frozen in place, still holding that strange panda doll in his hand, completely petrified.
He, a member of the elite youth team, was accused of being an alien by a female high school student on the street.
"No, that's not it!"
Musashi tried to explain, "I just wanted to return this doll that fell on the car to her!"
Passersby began pointing and whispering about Musashi, and the patrol officers looked him up and down with suspicion.
Musashi is being mistaken for an alien!
[Turning the tables!]
[Musashi: Are you being polite? I'm the real human form of Ultraman!]
Isn't Ultraman an alien?
[The slice-of-life episodes of tokusatsu dramas are always this hilarious.]
[Passerby: Defense forces are abducting a woman in the street!]
Just when the situation was at a stalemate, the bald father, Cao Ye, quickly ran over and bowed repeatedly to the patrolman and Musashi to apologize, which cleared up the misunderstanding.
But the girl still strode away.
To apologize, Cao Ye paid out of his own pocket and took the pair of Musashi to a takoyaki stall by the roadside.
Steaming hot takoyaki was served, emitting an enticing aroma.
"Come on, don't be shy, eat it while it's hot."
Cao Ye greeted him.
However, before Musashi could pick up the bamboo skewer, the man asked if he could eat one first.
So Musashi handed the bamboo skewer to the old man.
"Young man, listen to me."
While chewing on takoyaki, Uncle Cao Ye poured out his grievances to Musashi, "Not long ago, she was a little girl who followed me around every day, begging me to carry her."
"But lately, she keeps calling me an idiot. As her father, I'm really at her wit's end."
Musashi smiled and comforted her:
"She's probably reached her rebellious phase. Girls grow up and have their own ideas."
"Give me one more!"
Uncle Cao Ye unceremoniously extended the bamboo skewer towards the takoyaki in Musashi's hand.
Musashi paused for a moment, but still politely stepped aside.
The middle-aged man sighed and continued to complain:
"Lately, she's completely ignoring me. Of course, she refuses to go to the public bathhouse with me anymore."
"What's worse, she actually said yesterday that she couldn't stand being in this house for another minute."
As they spoke, Uncle Cao Ye's bamboo skewers fell like raindrops, and in no time at all, he had devoured all of Musashi's takoyaki.
However, Musashi was so engrossed in listening to the old man complain about his daughter that he didn't notice that the paper bowl in his hand was empty.
After finishing his meal, Uncle Cao Ye let out a satisfied burp and stood up.
"Thank you for the meal!"
Uncle Cao Ye wiped his mouth.
Musashi stared at the empty cardboard box, his lips twitching slightly.
However, since the uncle bought it himself, it's understandable that he ate it.
"I forgot to introduce myself."
Uncle Cao Ye pulled a business card from his crumpled suit pocket and handed it to Musashi.
"I am Cao Ye, a salesman from Beipu Food Company who specializes in selling instant noodles."
Musashi took the business card and glanced at it.
"Then I'll take my leave now."
"I'm so sorry that my daughter has caused you so much trouble this time."
"I think this is fate between us. Please take care of me in the future."
Uncle Cao Ye was preparing to leave.
"Wait a minute, I left something behind."
Uncle Cao Ye turned around and picked up a piece of yellow cloth from where he had been sitting.
"oh!"
Uncle Cao Ye immediately put on a salesman's fake smile.
"Now, every purchase of our beef ramen comes with this handkerchief. It's a unique product, bursting with the rich aroma of braised beef!"
After saying that, Uncle Cao Ye quickly walked into the crowd.
Musashi held the handkerchief that emitted a strange smell, watching Uncle Cao Ye's departing figure, his brows gradually furrowing.
This man's behavior was so strange and incomprehensible compared to that of a normal person.
He was wearing a formal suit, but on his feet were a pair of completely ill-fitting plastic slippers.
When someone else treated him to a meal, he ate all the food without saying a single polite word.
This kind of behavior is completely inconsistent with the interpersonal skills that a middle-aged salesperson should have.
[Exceptional emotional intelligence: He takes advantage of her and leaves without a trace!]
[Musashi: You treated me, but I didn't get a single bite?]
A suit paired with slippers—what kind of abstract fashion statement is this?
[Could this guy really be an alien? His behavior and logic are completely different from Earthlings.]
[A handkerchief with braised beef filling... Is this some kind of Master Kong brand?!]
Just as Musashi was staring at the business card in deep thought, the communicator at his waist suddenly rang urgently.
"Musashi! An emergency has occurred!"
Captain Qingguang's voice came through the communicator.
"That strange object that fell suddenly started moving!"
Musashi immediately put away the business card and ran towards the patrol car.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Vice Captains Kazefuki and Mizuha, who were monitoring the mysterious object, were piloting their fighter jets, hovering above the strange geometric object.
"Captain, shall we begin the attack?"
"Wait. We don't know its true purpose yet, so let's not act rashly."
Captain Qingguang gave the order.
The scene then shifts to the mountainous area near the SRC research center.
The huge, mysterious geometric object that had been lying quietly in the crater suddenly levitated.
Immediately afterwards, several thick, destructive beams of light shot out from inside the object without warning, bombarding the surrounding ground and mountains.
The flames from the explosion shot into the sky.
Several beams of light were even shot towards the fighter jets in the air!
Forced to dodge to the side, Kaze and Mizuha piloted their fighter jets.
However, this seemingly fierce attack did not last long.
Just as the elite youth team was about to take coercive measures, the strange object suddenly stopped all its attacks and flew into the air and disappeared.
Musashi drove back to the base.
Inside the command center, everyone was reviewing and analyzing the unexpected situation that had just occurred.
"Oh no." Tsuchikage looked at the data that had just been compiled on the screen. "We might have been fooled."
That object's attack just now was merely a feint. Beneath the SRC Research Center lies a secret storage facility for high-purity energy.
In the brief few minutes that the object emitted light, it absorbed all the high-purity energy there.
"I see." Feng Chui suddenly realized, "The real purpose of that strange object was to plunder energy."
Rena looked confused.
"However, the location of this underground energy storage facility is top secret. How did they know its exact location?"
A brief silence fell over the command room.
"If it's not a coincidence, then there's only one possibility. Someone obtained SRC's internal classified information beforehand and is secretly controlling it," said Vice Captain Mizuha.
Suddenly, the image of a bald man flashed through Musashi's mind.
Suddenly, Captain Haruka called out to Musashi:
"Does that salesman named Cao Ye have any suspicious background record?"
Musashi expressed his doubts, and the image of Uncle Cao Ye's bald head with his professional fake smile flashed through his mind.
"In fact, the defense force's special operations units had been keeping an eye on him for a long time."
Captain Qingguang said in a deep voice.
"This man has always been listed as a key suspect in the internal investigation of the defense force."
Although the man's behavior was unusually strange, Musashi still couldn't understand why they should investigate this bald man.
Without delay, in order to find out the truth, Musashi decided to take the initiative and secretly monitor Cao Ye.
The scene shifts to the entrance of a large supermarket.
Musashi changed into inconspicuous casual clothes and hid behind a shelf piled with promotional items.
His gaze was fixed on Cao Ye, who was not far away.
Uncle Cao Ye was holding a packet of yellow instant noodles and was pestering the supermarket manager relentlessly.
"Look, this is our company's latest product: sticky ramen!"
Uncle Cao shoved the instant noodles right in front of the shop manager's face.
"Just soak the noodles in warm water for three minutes, and they'll become sticky and gooey!"
The supermarket manager took two steps back with a look of disgust, waving his hands repeatedly: "No, no, I've told you several times, we're very busy right now."
Uncle Cao Ye showed no sign of giving up and directly blocked the store manager's path.
"Manager, this is our flagship product, the lifeblood of Beipu Food Company! The sticky sauce and the rough-textured bread—it's a perfect combination!"
The store manager pushed Cao Ye's hand away in disgust:
"That kind of stuff will never sell! You'd better get out of here!"
Uncle Cao Ye persisted, grabbing the shop manager's sleeve tightly.
Just as the two were tugging at each other, Uncle Cao Ye suddenly staggered backward, accidentally spilling all the large bag of ramen he was carrying.
"Splash—!"
Dozens of boxes of noodles were scattered all over the ground, rolling around everywhere.
The store manager's face instantly turned ashen, and he pointed at Uncle Cao Ye and started cursing.
"Honestly! What are you doing in front of the store?! Get out of here right now!"
Uncle Cao Ye bowed and apologized while squatting on the ground picking up the items, all the while continuing to promote his product:
"I'm so sorry, so sorry, I'm really sorry... but manager, could you please order a little bit of this sticky noodle?"
Watching this scene from the shadows, Musashi sighed helplessly. No matter how you looked at it, this was just a low-level salesman struggling to make ends meet.
Just as Musashi was intently staring at Cao Ye.
"Don't move!"
A clear female voice suddenly rang out behind Musashi.
Immediately afterwards, a cold, tubular object pressed firmly against the back of Musashi's head.
Musashi's muscles tensed instantly.
"Hands behind your head!"
The voice continued to command.
"I am a Nycticebus alien from the third planet of the Mink constellation! I am about to execute you, an Earthling, right here and now!"
Musashi suddenly turned his head, raised his pistol, and aimed.
But then he discovered that the girl behind him was playing a prank.
Xiao Xiang was holding a colorful plastic water gun and pointing it at him with a smug look on her face.
"Sizzle—!"
Xiao Xiang pulled the trigger, and a stream of cold water sprayed directly onto Musashi's face.
"It's you!"
Musashi wiped the water off his face, and immediately became furious.
Xiao Xiang made a face and laughed loudly:
"You idiot big brother! Your tracking skills are terrible!"
Uncle Cao Ye, who was not far away, witnessed this scene.
He ran over quickly and pulled Xiao Xiang behind him.
"Xiao Xiang! You're being naughty again!"
Then, he turned to look at Musashi, his face showing some wariness.
"Are you following my daughter? What do you want to do to her?"
"Should I call the police to arrest him?"
Xiao Xiang fanned the flames from the sidelines.
Musashi was speechless and could only awkwardly wave his hand.
No, that's not it.
Faced with this lovable father and daughter duo, Musashi was completely defeated and could only turn around and leave in a sorry state.
He couldn't help but sigh, realizing that he was still not suited for tasks like surveillance and tracking.
Both this father and daughter are extraordinary.
[It's only because Musashi is gentle that she could be teased like this, even though she's an official.]
I feel this girl is more like an alien than her father.
The scene abruptly shifts, and the atmosphere instantly becomes tense and oppressive.
Inside the command center of the elite youth team, red alarm lights flashed frantically.
"Captain! That strange object has started moving again!"
On the big screen, a breathtaking scene appeared.
The rock layers on the surface of the mysterious object began to peel off in large areas.
The internal hidden mechanical structure began to reorganize and deform.
With a deafening clanging sound, a gigantic mechanical life form, standing fifty-seven meters tall, stood majestically on the earth.
It is made entirely of a special mineral, with a deep sea blue hue and a surface covered with white water ripple patterns.
Its arms are two thick metal cannon barrels.
The weapon of invasion—Magneto—has officially arrived!
"It absorbs electrical energy from its surroundings with tremendous power!"
Tu Jing watched the energy values on the screen steadily rise.
"After absorbing SRC's high-purity energy, its current target is the city's substation!"
In the scene, Magneto raises his arms, and several thick, visible electric currents are forcibly stripped from the distant substation facilities and continuously flow into his body.
"Have you located the source of the induced radio waves?"
Captain Qingguang asked quickly.
Rena's fingers flew across the keyboard: "Found it! It's at coordinates WX-5 in the M-2 area!"
"Magneto has initiated the second phase of the destruction program!"
Tu Jing shouted.
"Immediately enter red alert status!" Captain Qingguang decisively issued the combat order, "All aircraft, sortie immediately!"
Two Tyrannosaurus Rex fighters roared through the clouds, heading straight for Magneto's location. Vice-Captains Kaze and Mizuha piloted their fighters, executing a beautiful tactical formation in the air.
"Now that it's been confirmed as a weapon of aggression, there's no need to show any mercy!"
With a cold gaze, Feng Chui pressed the weapon fire button directly.
Several high-explosive missiles, trailing long plumes of flame, hurtled towards Magneto below.
However, the missile struck its azure armor, causing a violent explosion, but failed to leave any scratches.
Magneto rotated its mechanical head and locked onto the fighter jet in the air.
Its arm-mounted cannons began to charge and swept towards the fighter jet.
Just as the battle in the sky reached a stalemate, Musashi on the ground had already driven his patrol car to the abandoned factory area emitting the guiding radio waves. He had to find the mastermind behind Magneto's control.
Musashi drew his sidearm and carefully navigated the passageway filled with abandoned shipping containers.
All around was quiet, except for the distant roar of monsters wreaking havoc.
Musashi slowed his pace, intently scanning his surroundings. Suddenly, he sensed a slight fluctuation in the airflow behind him.
Musashi suddenly turned around and raised his pistol.
But it's too late.
A dark figure leaped down like a ghost.
Before Musashi could even see the other person's face clearly, a heavy metal wrench whistled through the air and slammed into the back of Musashi's neck.
Musashi let out a muffled groan, his vision went black for a moment, and the gun in his hand fell to the ground.
He fell heavily onto the cold concrete floor and lost consciousness completely.
