Chapter 691 Guhuoniao
The racetrack.
"Honestly, why do I have to come with you to watch your husband and his brother's motorcycle race? I'm very busy." Shen Yun complained to Mayumi, who was sitting in the audience with her logo painted on her face and waving the team flag.
"What does it matter? Just treat it as a vacation. Before you went on your space voyage, you silly brother specifically asked you to take care of me and Maya, so you can't go back on your word." Mayumi nudged Shen Yun's waist with her elbow and said with a grin.
"If Xincheng knew you were calling him an idiot behind his back, he'd cry."
"Ah, Takuma's here! Ganbatte!" Mayumi quickly got up, leaned on the railing of the arena, and waved to Aoki Takuma as he drove into the arena with a big smile on her face.
Seeing Mayumi waving at him from the audience, Takuma Aoki lifted the visor of his helmet, glanced at Mayumi, and gave her a thumbs up.
"By the way, you and Takumo have been married for almost eight years now, aren't you planning to have a child?" Shen Yun asked.
After saying that, Shen Yun was also stunned. Had he also become an elder urging people to have children?
“Takumo said that after he finishes his racing career and officially retires, he can become a professional racing coach and then focus on raising our child, so that I don’t have to quit my job at TPC because of the child,” Mayumi said with a happy expression.
"This guy is such a good man," Shen Yun remarked.
"Right, right~" Mayumi smiled, looking proud.
Even though she's already twenty-eight or twenty-nine years old, she still looks like the little girl she was eight years ago—innocent and adorable.
The race ended quickly, and Aoki Takuma, who was already in the twilight of his career, actually lost to his younger brother, Aoki Haruchika.
Although he lost the match, Takuma Aoki was not unhappy at all. Instead, he patted Haruchika Aoki's head with a look of satisfaction, genuinely happy for his younger brother. During the award ceremony, he also announced his retirement.
A professional career of nearly seventeen years is quite a long time for a professional motorcycle rider.
Although he is in good condition now and can ride motorcycles for a few more years, it means nothing to Aoki Takuma anymore. His younger brother has inherited his ideals and will and can carry his passion on the racetrack.
And it was time for him to start a family. Mayumi had been waiting for him for a long time, and he couldn't let her wait any longer.
"Mayumi!"
"Takumo!"
The two embraced each other as if no one else was around, which made Shen Yun frown.
Wow, what a cheesy couple!
It's unbearable to look at, truly unbearable to look at.
Shen Yun wisely refrained from being a third wheel and got up to leave the racetrack.
However, when talking about Takuma Aoki, Shen Yun also recalled the storyline about Mayumi in Dyna TV.
He remembered that the creature that appeared in this episode was the plasma life form, Ubume, and there were many other references to Ultraman Tiga in the story.
Moreover, the Guhuoniao (a mythical bird) traveled from China, destroying power plants all the way to Japan.
Upon returning to base, he reminded the Chinese TPC branch to pay close attention.
……
That night.
An alarm suddenly sounded inside the TPC complex.
In the dormitory, Asuka, who was sleeping soundly, was awakened by the alarm, while Koda, who was on the upper bunk, had already put on his team uniform and jumped off the bed.
"Asuka, get up!" Koda urged, and then ran out of the dormitory.
"Yes!" Asuka quickly got out of bed, hurriedly changed into her team uniform, and rushed to the command room.
"Where is the epicenter?" Asuka asked.
"Calm down, Asuka! How can you panic so much because of an earthquake when you're a member of the Super GUTS team?" Hibiki said.
"Oh~"
"Mai, where is the epicenter?" Hibi asked, turning his head.
"The epicenter was in mainland China, and the damage there is still under investigation by the China branch. Following the earthquake, power plants across China experienced a series of accidents," Mai Midorikawa reported.
"Is it related to the earthquake?" Hibi asked.
"The cause of the accident is still unclear. However, it seems that someone is constantly sabotaging the power plant and moving eastward. The TPC China branch has dispatched the Gencho fighter to intercept the enemy." As Mai Midorikawa spoke, she immediately pulled up a map, and a straight route appeared on the big screen, with the enemy's target pointing directly at the Japanese mainland.
"Koda, contact the TPC China branch immediately and obtain firsthand information," Kibi instructed.
"Understood!" Koda nodded and immediately began contacting the TPC China branch.
Soon, TPC China branch sent over firsthand information, which Koda then displayed on the big screen.
It was a photo taken by the Xuan Niao fighter jet. The photo showed a creature that was gray in color, with a feminine body, a pair of wings on its back, and a huge bird head. In the middle of its bird-like head was a Noh mask that looked like a human woman, which looked very strange.
"This monster looks so weird," Asuka said, looking at the picture of the Ubume.
“According to the analysis report from TPC’s China branch, this monster is suspected to be a plasma creature,” Koda said.
"Plasma monster? Similar to Lightning Man and Gazort?" Hibi asked in surprise.
"Yes."
"No wonder the attacks were all on power plants; they were absorbing electrical energy, weren't they?" Kariya exclaimed in realization.
"So, its destination in Japan is..." Nakajima's gaze fell on the route map on the large screen, and he exclaimed in surprise:
"Oh no, its target is the superconducting coil left underground in Tokyo Bay!"
"Super GUTS, move out immediately! Stop this monster!" Hibiki said.
"understand!"
"Please wait a moment. Plasma creatures are not afraid of beams. We need to use anti-plasma bullets that absorb plasma energy in reverse to have any effect on them," Nakajima said hurriedly.
"I see. Alright, Nakajima, you stay and develop the anti-plasma bomb, the rest of you, launch an attack immediately!" Hibi said.
"understand!"
The members of Super Victory Team immediately grabbed their helmets and ran out of the command room, each piloting the Alpha and Beta to intercept Ubume's path.
Soon, Alpha and Beta arrived at the route that the Ubume was traveling.
However, upon arriving at the location, they found no trace of the Ubume, only a moving dark cloud.
"I haven't seen any trace of the monster," Asuka muttered.
The next moment, a plasma ball suddenly floated out of the dark cloud in front of him and transformed into the Guhuoniao in the photo.
"Is this unusual plasma cloud the monster?" Ryo Yumimura saw the Ubume take shape and immediately opened fire on it.
"Shhhh-"
Several blue laser beams shot out from the wings of the Beta, accurately hitting the Guhuoniao flying in the air.
However, the laser emitted by the Beta hit the Guhuoniao without causing it any damage.
"No effect?" (End of Chapter)
