Li Hua, an adolescent human with a kind heart who met an untimely demise, much like most protagonists in system-transmigration novels, was unexpectedly recruited by the Space-Time Administration af...
Chapter 224 Chapter 224 True Body
It is pitch dark in the suburbs at night, which makes those areas with constantly moving light spots very eye-catching.
Jason pulled out his binoculars. "They're centaurs. They're searching the trench with flashlights. It seems they don't have much night vision."
And Taylor probably wasn't lying. The key played a very important and decisive role in the plans of evolving humans and half-humans and half-beasts.
Otherwise, they would not have dispatched so many people at once to the trenches beside the road, using flashlights to conduct a large-scale search at night, as they have always attached great importance to secrecy.
"Although I don't know what the key is, if I took it, maybe I know where it is now."
Taylor buried his head in Li Hua's back, so that he could find a quiet place to search for his memories in the strong wind blowing in his face.
"Since I don't have my keys, they must have been left at the scene of the accident. I can show you the way."
Li Huale stopped the flying stick: "Car accident? Do you want me to take you to the hospital first?"
Even if a patient who has been in a car accident appears to be healthy and well, he or she may still be in critical condition.
"No, I'm fine," Taylor insisted. "And more important than me is not letting those aliens get the key."
Li Hua was a little worried, so he asked No. 666 to scan Taylor. He found that the man's vital signs were very stable and healthy, which made him feel a little relieved.
Stealing an important key from a group of aliens, getting into a car accident and surviving unscathed... Should we say Taylor is lucky or unlucky?
Following the direction Taylor pointed, they found a semi-trailer truck that had fallen off a cliff at the bottom of a ditch next to a nearby highway.
Jason stood beside the truck where the remains were not quite in good shape and sighed, "Nice jumping skills."
"I didn't jump out of the car," Taylor said.
"Oh," Jason said to the truck with its front and container deformed, "Then you're a good driver."
Taylor was a little embarrassed. "It's hard to see at night, and the truck is too difficult to operate. I don't want to overturn it."
Li Hua took advantage of Taylor's inattention and hid behind Benjamin, lifted up her skirt and the short-sleeved shirt underneath, and looked at her waist with a flashlight.
Under the flashlight, it was clearly a circle of purple, as if it had wrestled with a giant hydraulic pliers.
Li Hua was silent, and Benjamin, who was changing clothes to cover, was also silent.
The two also heard Jason's conversation. Li Hua dropped her skirt and walked forward with a staff and flashlight. "The car is in such a state. If the key fell into some corner of the cab, it would be even harder to find it."
"The key isn't in the cab," Taylor said, pointing to the huge, deformed and tilted container. "The Oscar key is in there."
Jason: "You managed to steal something this big from right under the aliens' noses. Besides being a musical instrument player, are you also a thief on the side?"
"I can't recall. But the most important thing right now is what do we do with the key?" Taylor said. "This car is probably dead, and the key is huge. Do you think blowing up the car will destroy the key?"
Benjamin: "I'm afraid Level 5 alien technology won't be so easy to destroy, and it will cause a lot of noise and attract more enemies. But you can relax, we are professionals. Now - Crystal Man!"
After a flash of green light, a one-eyed mineral man with a pink horn-shaped crystal on his head appeared in front of Taylor's astonished eyes. He raised his hand and a rainbow-colored ray blasted a hole in the container, then jumped in.
Taylor, who had seen multiple alien transformations in one night, was almost unable to close his jaw: "Who are you?"
Jason: "Good guy."
Li Hua: "If you want a more detailed description, it's about a good man who had just finished a busy day and was resting in bed when a series of deadly alarms woke him up and he had to work overtime."
"But don't worry. Like Ben said, we're professionals at beating up aliens. With us here, nothing's going to happen—"
"boom!"
Before Li Hua finished speaking, Crystal Hero "flew" out swiftly with the ground on his back and landed heavily on the ground, raising a cloud of dust and a complaint.
"Oh, Annie!"
Jason: "I'm assuming you didn't suddenly awaken the Rainbow Unicorn's ability to fly..."
Several half-human beasts tore through the iron cover of the container with their sharp claws and jumped out after Benjamin, hissing, "Protect the key!"
"...I just encountered an unfriendly person at the door!"
Li Hua drew out his staff and activated the [Lan] card in grief and anger. A huge tornado would sweep up the group of half-humans and half-beasts and throw them to all directions.
Enough is enough! Today he is either being interrupted in his sleep or interrupted in his conversation!
"Don't worry about this, Magic Boy. Go deal with the key!"
Jason pulled out the ion beam weapon he had bought at the Fantastic Secondhand Technology Store and shot at the charging half-beast.
"Trick or treat is the privilege of the one who knocks on the door, and you have to say hello first. Guys like you who don't even have a line are just going to get shot!"
Entering the container that was already as big as a colander, Li Hua looked at the mechanical device that was almost as big as an entire truck container, and finally understood why this thing had to be transported by truck.
Who on earth calls this thing, which is bigger than the front of a truck, a "key"?
With something this big, even if he uses up all his magic power and uses up all his cards, he still can't destroy it!
And, the centaurs were incredibly strong. There were no chairs or other fixtures in the container, yet the escorting centaurs managed to fall off the cliff with such a large creature, and they're still alive and kicking.
Li Hua glanced at Taylor, who was standing outside the container, staring at the "key" in a daze through the hole in the container, and took out the [Dismissal] card and started working.
Forget it, just demolish as much as you can.
.......
In Taylor's eyes, the container full of holes, the alien mechanical device exposed inside, and the person standing in front of the device reminded him of a lost memory.
[How long will it take for Oscar's Key to complete the transmission?]
It's a similar perspective, but in some sort of evil alien lair made of giant purple, red, and black branches.
He was standing in the corner, hiding behind some kind of...web-inspired pillar? Anyway, he saw two giant white aliens talking to a monitor.
"It may take a day, or even longer, Master. Those lowly, vile Earthlings have never given up their resistance."
[As long as the Oscar Key is available... the Evolved Fleet will arrive with a massive army and wipe out all Earthlings, just like we did in other galaxies.]
[.......You....the portal that the Oscar Key sent to....]
"I remember now." Taylor rushed into the container and said to Li Hua, who was holding up his staff, "Another white, larger alien said that this thing will bring evolved human warships to destroy the Earth. They want to take this thing to Roseolada, where they are building a huge portal!"
"You're talking about an evolved human." Li Hua turned his staff and used the [Discard] card to remove the parts he thought were important. "You remembered it so quickly? I thought you were going to have a headache and a flashback like on TV."
Taylor: "I don't know, but I looked at the machine and it reminded me."
"I know why." Benjamin, who had turned back into a human, climbed in through the hole in the container and uncovered Taylor's face.
The "face" in Benjamin's hand made a snowflake-like clapping texture, and it fell to the ground and hit the container with a crisp sound.
Where Taylor had been standing, a half-human appeared, clutching its face. He stared at his own sharp purple claws in disbelief, his body trembling uncontrollably. The undeniable reality buried him like a mudslide, leaving him breathless. "What... is this?"
Jason: "The disguise mask is what you see on the faces of those half-human beasts who transform into humans."
A level five alien technology camouflage mask, once the appearance is set, the wearer can become exactly the same as the set appearance, and can even avoid various scans.
The transformations of the camouflage mask are not simply visual. As long as the set appearance and the user's height and physique are within a certain range, the camouflage mask can completely reproduce the wearer's set appearance in real life without changing the wearer's original physical qualities.
"Why is this on my face?"
Taylor snatched the truck mirror from Jason who came in later. In the broken mirror was a disgusting purple one-eyed octopus head.
He touched his face in disbelief, trying to use his sharp claws to pull out the tentacles on his face to take off another mask, but after pulling it several times, he was stopped by Benjamin beside him.
A desperate answer came to his mind, and Benjamin's next words sentenced him to death:
"Because you're half-human, Taylor. You were once one of them."
It is impossible for humans on Earth to remain unscathed in a car accident of that magnitude, and it is also impossible for humans on Earth to bruise Li Hua's waist even though he is wearing combat gear.
Taylor's hand shook, and the mirror in his hand was easily crushed. The broken mirror and his heart fell into the dark container and rolled to an unknown place.
A memory flashed back, this time he was standing in front of a truck, and a half-human beast said to him: "Do you understand this mission?"
Taylor "heard" his memory say: "Rosolada... rain or shine."
Yes...how come I haven't noticed it before?
Taylor held his head in despair.
Yes... he should have suspected it earlier. There was no way an Earthling could have escaped the alien lair and stolen something so large. There was no way an Earthling could have lifted a bunk bed with their bare hands and pinned two half-beasts to the wall.
Because he was originally the transporter of the "Oscar Key", a member of that group of monsters, a half-human and half-beast.
"But why do I have human memories and cognition?"
"Because half-humans are transformed from half-humans." Jason brought over a twitching green one-eyed octopus from outside the container, attempting to attach itself to a human face. "Evolved humans use these facehugger-like creatures to transform humans into half-humans and half-humans, turning them into their slaves."
"You mentioned Rosolada?" Benjamin said. "A few weeks before this, my team and I went there. Everyone there had been transformed into half-humans and half-beasts. I nearly lost my family during that operation. At the time, I thought we had completely destroyed the equipment... but now it seems that we've only slowed down our progress."
"But it didn't delay it too much..." Taylor's mind flashed back to the portal that Rossolada had been working on day and night. "They're almost done with it."
"It seems so, but it's different now." Benjamin put his hand on Taylor's shoulder. "You stole the most important key, and we are professionals in dismantling and hiding things."
"If you look back now, you'll find that one-fifth of the Oscar Key is gone."
Jason, inconsolable, pulled out his clever tool from the second-hand market.
"And if you're willing to step out of the container and cover your eyes for a few seconds to play hide-and-seek, I'll perform my amazing vanishing magic trick and make all this shit disappear."
"Since you're the driver who transports this stuff, I can give you this opportunity to personally deliver this pile of stuff to where the garbage belongs."
Li Hua: "First dismantle it and then throw it away. This is a two-pronged approach. We guarantee that even if the Evolved Ones find it, they won't be able to use it."
Even as long as the buffer time of the [Eliminate] card is not exceeded, Li Hua can still change the eliminated parts back and feed them to the ice ghost cubs as breakfast.
-----------------------
The author's comment: Taylor's willpower is incredibly strong. After being fully transformed, he heard the Evolved Man's plan to destroy all of humanity, and he suppressed the will of the half-human beast. Judging from the original series, his overturned truck was also the result of his conscious resistance at the time.
Just as the evolved people in Taylor's memory said: [Humans on Earth have always been rebelling.]
In the original drama, after knowing his half-human identity, he squatted there in despair. But when Benjamin and Gwen Kevin were about to move the Oscar Key before the half-human reinforcements arrived, he rushed forward with a roar and tore open the container completely to make it easier for them to move it, and then continued to squat there.
