radicalducati 45. To live as a human being, Faust?
45. To live as a human being, Faust?
The next day, after another unsuccessful survey, Horii and Jiang Yu approached Sanada Ryosuke, who was taking a walk on the beach.
That morning, at Jiang Yu's prompting, Daigo asked Ye Rui to retrieve the relevant data on the theft of Aibolon cells from the research lab.
After it was sent, Horii could no longer remain calm.
It was at that time that his good friend Ryosuke Sanada began to act strangely.
There is a strong possibility that the biological reaction that occurred last night was caused by Ryosuke Sanada.
According to researchers, the Ebloon cell was specifically developed to explore human evolution.
In other words, the monster is still a human, but it's unknown when it will lose control.
In the command room, all the members of the Victory Team, except for Jiang Yu and Horii, set off in their Flying Swallows.
As always, Lina, Zongfang, and Xincheng piloted the Flying Swallow II.
The Flying Swallow No. 1 was piloted by Daigo alone, mainly for easy transformation after a plane crash.
Horii, on the other hand, still wanted to make one last effort to persuade Jiang Yu.
He didn't believe his friend was a monster; since he could recover, it meant anything was still possible.
With TPC's current biotechnology, there is definitely a chance of recovery.
Horii will not abandon his friend until the very last moment.
"Jiang Yu, you think so too, right?"
Humans cannot become monsters.
Horii walked quickly, seeking Jiang Yu's approval as he tried to convince himself.
Who knows?
Jiang Yu gripped the Victory Hyper gun tightly in his hand, his face devoid of any smile.
"If that's true, we must destroy him before he turns into a monster."
Horii was stunned by Jiang Yu's cold words and paused for a moment.
"But, but Ryosuke is a human being..."
"There's no 'but' about it; it won't be the same once it becomes a monster."
Horii, I understand your feelings for your friend, but we have a responsibility to the majority of people now.
If he were to transform into a monster and wreak havoc around, the number of deaths would be countless.
Jiang Yu stared intently at Horii, laying the groundwork for what was to come.
He wants to eliminate the opponent before they successfully transform into a monster, so he won't waste a transformation.
Who knows what kind of trouble they'll cause this time? We should save the transformation for the most crucial moment.
The midday sun was scorching hot, and there weren't many people on the beach; most tourists were still resting at their hotels.
The TPC evacuation order has just been issued, and it will take some time for the evacuation to be completed. Jiang Yu cannot guarantee that Sanada Ryosuke will not go berserk until the evacuation is finished.
Horii couldn't find the words to refute, so he could only jog silently until he saw Sanada Ryosuke walking on the beach with another friend of his.
"Hey, Ryosuke!"
Hearing shouts from behind, both Sanada Ryosuke and the female researcher instinctively turned around.
"Look, it's Horii. Didn't he say he was going to investigate something? How come he's already finished?"
The female researcher was somewhat surprised, as she had met Horii that morning and asked him about the situation.
The Victory Team said they were coming to investigate last night's power plant explosion. Is it really that soon?
"I don't know, maybe."
Sanada Ryosuke turned around and looked at him, speaking expressionlessly.
He already had the idea of escaping in his mind; he hadn't fully evolved yet.
Could it be that this damn fat guy has already found out something?
Thinking about this, Sanada Ryosuke felt a dull ache in his heart.
The cost of evolution is truly unbearable!
"Ryosuke, it's been a long time."
Horii stopped in front of Sanada Ryosuke and the female researcher, wanting to say something, but not knowing where to begin, and could only look at his friend with a complicated expression.
We all agreed to contribute to the development of humanity, but now Ryosuke Sanada has gone astray and is on the verge of becoming a monster.
"Long time no see, Horii."
As Sanada Ryosuke looked at Horii wearing the GUTS uniform, jealousy once again took over.
Why? He's clearly no worse than this fatso, so why isn't he on the winning team?
Jiang Yu followed behind Horii, ready to fire at any moment.
He would nip any danger in the bud should Sanada Ryosuke run into trouble.
Before that, let Horii do his trash talk.
They're teammates who will fight side by side, so there's no reason not to give them face.
"Ryosuke, you must be having a tough time right now."
Horii glanced at the astonishing data from the detector in his hand; Sanada Ryosuke in front of him had become like a giant, mobile power source.
Jiang Yu was right, and the lab's data was correct; the evolution of Ebloon cells requires a large amount of electrical energy.
"Horie, what are you saying?"
The female researcher was completely confused. What was this about hard work or not? Why was she suddenly asking this?
"You don't understand at all, Horii!"
We took the test together, and even though I was so much better than you, you ended up on the winning team.
"I've always been number one since I was a kid, what do you know?"
Horii's words seemed to have triggered something, and Sanada Ryosuke suddenly clutched his chest, bent over, and roared madly.
He was otherwise normal, with no unusual symptoms.
The female researcher was startled by the sudden situation. Just as she was about to muster up the courage to probe Sanada Ryosuke's condition, Horii pulled her back.
"Don't go, it's dangerous, given Ryosuke's current condition..."
In a few words, Horii gave a general account of what had happened, while keeping a close watch on Jiang Yu to prevent him from firing his gun indiscriminately.
If possible, he wanted Ryosuke to try, to try to continue living as a human again!
Upon learning of the situation, the female researcher once again made statements that broke Horii's heart:
"Ryosuke, listen to Horii, go to the medical center, don't push yourself too hard."
Like Horii, he has short legs, is fat, and always tells boring jokes; he's full of flaws, but everyone still likes him...
Jiang Yu, feeling the resistance from Horii weakening, was speechless.
I've wanted to say this for a long time: why did this woman have to say such things in such a serious setting? Did she have to make him laugh so hard he couldn't hold his gun?
Can't you pay even a little attention to Horii's expression? He looks more like he's about to turn into a monster!
"You guys have no idea. I'm determined to be number one. If I'm not number one, no one will like me."
Ryosuke Sanada staggered and fell to the ground, then struggled to get up, drenched in sweat, his body crackling with electricity, on the verge of losing control and turning into a monster.
"I can't fail like this..."
"It's too late, Horii, get out of the way!"
Seeing the change, Jiang Yu pushed Horii aside and decisively fired his gun.
"No, give him another chance. He's still a human being."
trouble!
Jiang Yu frowned as he looked at Horii, who was blocking his way.
It's good to talk about feelings, but there's always a right time to do it.
This feeling is the same as when Onoda talks about his partner.
Why be so persistent about things that can't be changed?
"Get out of the way!"
Jiang Yu flashed and fired from a different angle. The laser bullet fired from the Hyper gun hit Sanada Ryosuke, who was kneeling on the ground, as expected.
It hit a vital spot, so he should be fine now.
"Ryosuke!"
Horii and the female researcher were both shocked and didn't even have time to express their anger to Jiang Yu. They rushed towards Sanada Ryosuke, who was no longer moving.
However, he was shaken off halfway through his attack, and a life-sized giant, predominantly black, appeared beside Sanada Ryosuke.
Horii and the female researcher both fainted, leaving only Jiang Yu standing there, his pupils contracted.
He guessed correctly; something had indeed followed them.
Given this situation, it's impossible for him to admit he's wrong.
"Faust?!"
