Chapter 372 Gentle Disobedience, The Elegy of Time's Daughter!
Chapter 372 Gentle Disobedience, The Elegy of Time's Daughter!
"Captain, she's been in the base for half a day now!"
Feng Chui realized the seriousness of the situation. "I don't know what she's been up to all this time, we have to find a way to deal with her immediately!"
"Please wait a moment!"
At this moment, the base's doctor interrupted everyone.
"She knows nothing. Renee is innocent."
"What do you mean?"
Mizuha demanded sharply, "She's an undercover agent sent by aliens!"
"She didn't know she had a chip inside her! Not only that, she didn't even remember she was dead!"
The doctor said, "Rene is currently experiencing feedback from her personality when she was alive. She believes she is still alive, which is why she's trying so hard to recover her memories... She's just a pawn!"
Rena turned to the doctor: "Can't we remove the chip and think of another way to save her?"
The doctor lowered his head, avoiding Rena's hopeful gaze, and slowly uttered a sentence that instantly shattered everyone's defenses.
"If the chip is removed, she will probably return to her original state in just a few minutes."
The doctor's voice was bitter. "Rennie...she's dead."
Outside the medical room, the corridor was deathly silent.
The doctor's words struck the hearts of every member of the elite youth team like a heavy hammer.
"Rennie is dead."
That girl... was just a shell controlled by a biochip?
What is it like when a person has forgotten that they no longer exist in this world?
I smell a knife!
Holy crap... this plot development, you really dare to write something like this!
[This means the girl didn't even know she was dead, and was still clinging to the hope of living...]
[What a cunning scheme by these aliens!]
Musashi must be heartbroken. Her first love was cut short before it even began.
Wow, Musashi's love life is really heartbreaking.
Inside the command center, the atmosphere was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.
Vice-Captain Mizuha frowned, staring intently at Renee's brain scan on the screen: "That alien named Uroga has been using us from the very beginning. He pretended to hunt Renee down so that we would bring her back to the heavily guarded base."
"Captain, we can't hesitate any longer!"
The team member, Windblown, whirled around. "No matter how innocent she was in life, the chip inside her is a ticking time bomb! We have no idea what commands that alien might send to the base through the chip. We must isolate her immediately!"
Captain Qingguang sat in a chair, his hands clasped together and resting on his chin.
As the captain, he is responsible for the security of the entire base.
After a brief silence, he reluctantly issued the order: "Immediately arrange for Renee to be sent to the medical base. Administer... cryosleep. Freeze her permanently."
"Captain!" Rena covered her mouth in disbelief. "Are we going to let her sleep forever?"
"This is the only way right now."
Captain Qingguang closed his eyes, unable to bear watching any longer. "Tell her she's just going to the medical center for special treatment to restore her memory."
……
At this time, Musashi, completely unaware of the situation, had already driven to the Space Academy of Sciences.
He found the team leader who had been in charge of research on the Nebula 3 space station four years ago, trying to find a glimmer of hope that he could remove the chip and save Renee.
The old professor handed Musashi a slightly yellowed commemorative photo.
In the photo, young Renee, dressed in work clothes, stands smiling brightly in front of a model of the space station.
"That child is someone who would give everything for his dream."
The old professor sighed as he recalled, "Nebula 3 was her life's work, and her final act of devotion. We all called that space station... 'Daughter of Time.' Sadly, all that beauty ended because of that sudden accident. In space, the pressure difference when the hatch malfunctioned meant that a person didn't even have time to feel the pain..."
Looking at the familiar smiling face in the photo, Musashi felt a mix of emotions.
Just then, his communicator rang. It was being blown by the wind.
"Musashi, the captain has given the order. We're transferring Renee to cryogenics. Don't do anything foolish, come back right now."
The sound of the wind was unusually heavy.
"freezing?!"
Musashi abruptly stood up, his eyes filled with disbelief. "Are you going to forever rob her of her last moments?!"
The communication was disconnected.
The scene cuts back to the youth elite team's base.
Fengchui and Tujing have arrived at the infirmary.
The light in the long corridor flickered.
The camerawork was exceptionally skillful at this moment.
In the scene, half of Fengchui and Tujing's faces are hidden in shadow, while Renee, dressed in a hospital gown, is led step by step from the bright, sunlit window into the dark and deep corridor.
"It's just like receiving regular treatment."
The group suppressed the turmoil in their hearts.
Musashi had already arrived at this time.
The girl turned around as if she sensed something.
Renee stopped, looked at Musashi, and smiled slightly—a smile so pure it was heartbreaking: "It's alright, I'll remember soon. Who I am, what I've done... Once I remember, I'll tell Musashi first."
Stop stabbing! Stop stabbing! The child will be traumatized!
The interplay of light and shadow in this scene, transitioning from brightness to darkness, foreshadows Renée's tragic end.
[Fengchui and Tujing were also heartbroken; they could only use a white lie to deceive a girl who had already died.]
"I'll tell Musashi first..."...Brothers, I'm breaking down.
Just as Renee turned her head away, about to leave Musashi's sight...
"Hey! Wait! Stop right there!!!"
Suddenly, Musashi's hysterical roar rang out.
Musashi could no longer contain his emotions.
He charged at Renee like a mad cheetah, grabbing her wrist tightly.
"Musashi?" Renee looked at him in surprise.
"That idiot..."
Kaze looked at Musashi, gritted his teeth, and said, "Musashi! Let go! That's an order!"
"Rene! Come with me!"
Musashi completely ignored the wind's warning, grabbed Renee, and ran outside.
"What's wrong? Why are you running, Musashi?" Renee was being dragged along, stumbling and looking confused.
"stop!"
The wind blew and chased after it.
Inside the command center, alarms blared.
"Musashi has escaped with Rene!" Rena reported anxiously to her superior.
"What?!" Captain Qingguang suddenly stood up.
Through the communication channel came Tsuchikage's panting voice, pleading with the surrounding security personnel: "Please give me a little time... just a little bit!"
Feng Chui stopped in his tracks, watching Musashi and Renee's figures disappear outside the base gate, and slowly lowered the gun in his hand.
He chose to become a pilot.
"I will definitely bring that kid back."
Tsuchikage spoke into the communicator in a low voice, but he already understood Musashi's intention: "He just... wants Rene to continue dreaming that she is still alive."
"Okay, I'll definitely bring them back."
[We eloped!]
Ultraman Cosmos will definitely find a way!
[Musashi: Even if you're the Grim Reaper, I'll snatch you from his grasp for even a second!]
The plot tension is incredible; this tokusatsu drama has the quality of a top-tier romance film!
[Wind Blows: I was here first!]
However, the unfolding events gave the star-crossed couple no chance to catch their breath.
Shortly after Musashi and Renee escaped from the base, the ground in the Binhai New Area suddenly collapsed violently.
With a deafening roar, a gigantic ancient monster burst from the ground, wreaking havoc on the surrounding buildings.
That was the monster Karbas, which should have been sleeping underground!
"A monster has appeared!" Vice Captain Mizuha immediately piloted the Konami Thunder 2 fighter jet into the air.
The elite team had to divert their forces to deal with the suddenly appearing monster.
Meanwhile, Musashi pulled Renee into hiding in an abandoned factory.
He rushed to check the situation outside, but left the photos he had taken from the old professor next to Renee.
"Stay here, I'll be right back!" Musashi instructed, then turned and ran towards the direction where the monsters were rampaging.
Renee looked down, her gaze falling on the photograph. The photo showed herself in her work clothes, with the massive space station in the background.
In an instant, long-forgotten memories flooded into her mind, which was controlled by the chip.
The accident four years ago, the shattered hatch, the suffocating feeling of sudden depressurization, and the endless darkness of space...
"ah--!!!"
Renee clutched her head and collapsed to her knees in agony.
Meanwhile, the alien Uroga, who had been hiding in the shadows, finally revealed his true colors.
It stood atop a city tower and let out a chilling, cold laugh.
It completely activated the biochip in Renee's brain through a long-distance signal!
"Sizzle sizzle—"
Inside the youth elite team's base, the main control computer's large screen suddenly flashed a blinding red light, and countless garbled characters poured out wildly.
"What's going on?!" Tsuchikage typed frantically on the keyboard.
"My computer is infected with a virus! The main system is crashing!" Rena cried out in despair.
Not only at the base, but also in the sky, where Vice Captain Mizuha was locked in combat with Karbas, the fighter jet's control stick was completely out of control.
"The joystick is not working! I can't eject!" Mizuha cried out in despair as she watched her fighter jet plummet straight toward the ground.
It wasn't until this moment that everyone realized what was going on.
Urog's real purpose in sending Renee into the base was not simply to gather intelligence.
The moment Renee underwent the base's medical scan, the biochip had already planted a deadly computer virus into the elite youth team's mainframe!
This is a long-planned Trojan horse scheme!
[Those wretched alien hicks!]
Gauss! Activate your invincible corona!
This kind of alien is the most disgusting!
Poor Renee, she was used as a tool until her death.
[Wait, why are you hacking the computer mainframes of a rescue-focused team like the Youth Elite Team? Shouldn't you be looking for the world's defense forces?!]
At the critical moment, Musashi raised the sun and moon shining brightly amidst the ruins.
"Gauss!"
A dazzling blue light streaked across the sky, and Gauss, the moon god, made a splendid appearance.
Gauss displayed astonishing flexibility in the face of the crashing fighter jet.
Instead of retreating, he advanced, soaring into the sky to meet the falling fighter jet.
They precisely caught the nose of the aircraft, and following the powerful inertia of the falling fighter jet, they traced a huge arc in the air and smoothly placed it in a safe area.
However, before Gauss could catch his breath, the raging ancient monster Calbas pounced on him from behind.
"Bang!"
Karbas opened his gaping maw and unleashed a high-explosive fireball that slammed into Gauss's back.
Gauss staggered from the blow, and knelt on the ground in pain, his chest heaving violently.
After only a few rounds of fighting, Gauss was actually at a disadvantage because he was afraid to make a move against the enemy!
Even the timer on his chest started flashing.
"Ding-dong! Ding-dong!"
Urgent sirens echoed over the city.
Above the clouds, Uroga, who had been lying in wait for a long time, looked down at everything and let out a smug, sinister laugh.
