Not long after, in a cave deep beneath the headquarters building of Sediq Corporation.
With a flash of green light, a super ancient Komainu monster that was fifty-two meters tall appeared instantly.
At first, she was still stretching out her two front limbs, which seemed extremely short compared to her body, and waving them forward with an unwilling look on her face, as if she was trying to break the wall of the crystal ball from the inside and escape.
Then, the sudden change of the scene made her stunned. She shook her head quickly and looked around.
After making sure that she had escaped from the mysterious crystal ball, Christa couldn't help but look surprised.
At this moment, a voice that sounded like a smile came from below.
"How does it feel to transform into a monster, Christa-san~"
“…”
Christa was slightly startled and looked in the direction where the voice came from. She saw three boys in black school uniforms standing at her feet. The leader was Ning Yi, who had just sealed her in the crystal ball.
As for the person who said this, it was the handsome boy on the left holding the yellow puppy.
If Krista remembered correctly, he, like the young man on the right, was an international student who transferred to Kumamoto High School with Ning Yi.
Combined with the previous conversation with Ning Yi, Krista immediately realized that all the accidents that happened to her in these days were definitely caused by these three mysterious classmates!
"Who the hell are you?!"
Christa transmitted the message angrily, her pair of bright yellow vertical pupils staring at them threateningly.
Qin Zhaowei chuckled and said, "Don't worry, you will know everything you need to know... But before that, we have to solve your problem first. You don't want to talk to us in this attitude, right?"
"……?"
Krista was a little confused.
Qin Zhaowei did not explain, but just lifted the yellow puppy in his arms high and chuckled, "Little Gaddy, it's your turn!"
"Woof!"
The yellow puppy barked, and then its whole body burst into dazzling golden light.
Christa's eyes widened as she immediately recognized the puppy's identity. It was the real owner of the body she was in front of!
In an instant, the yellow puppy turned into a dazzling golden light particle stream in the golden light, shooting straight towards the timing light on the chest of the Komainu monster.
In just a moment, the monster's body changed hands, and a light mixed with white and gold was easily bounced out, fell to the ground, and turned into a blonde girl rolling on the ground.
"ah!"
The blonde girl cried out in pain, then held up her slender waist and climbed up, staring with wide eyes at the monster's body in front of her that had changed its owner, as if she was reluctant to leave the monster's body.
"...Why, you seem a little reluctant?"
Qin Zhaowei walked over and looked at her in surprise, "That's not right. I remember when you transformed before, you seemed to dislike this monster body. How come you seem like a different person now?"
"It's normal. It's just the difference in feeling caused by losing strength."
Ning Yi explained with a smile, then looked at the blonde girl thoughtfully and said, "Of course, there could be other reasons. After all, Ultraman's activity time is only three minutes, while the monster's activity time is much longer than Ultraman's!"
"Moreover, humans are born with a certain degree of destructive desire, which is particularly evident in adolescent boys and girls."
"After all, Christa is just a 17-year-old human girl. It's normal for her to like the feeling of being a monster..."
Hearing Ning Yi's serious analysis, Christa's face suddenly turned red and she glared at the three people angrily.
"You like being a monster, your whole family likes being a monster!"
"Also, who are you guys?!"
"Why do you know the secrets of me and Sediq Company?"
"Have you been monitoring my every move since the beginning?"
On the surface, Christa pretended to be an angry girl, but in fact she was using words to hold the three people back. At the same time, she glanced around, looking for a way to escape from the cave.
"Don't look at it, you can't get away."
Fan Xian said with a grin, "And I think it's necessary to explain that we are not monitoring your private life. We have only been keeping an eye on this cave where the statue of the Giant of Light is buried!"
...Sure enough, they were the ones who stole the stone statue of the Giant of Light!
Christa's heart sank, and she began to despair about the possibility of her escape.
Not to mention Ning Yi's god-like performance, the mere fact that he stole the giant stone statue of light without anyone noticing was enough to show that the other party had crushed him in all aspects.
So, who are they?
Is it an alien that didn't appear in the original story, or...
Just as Christa was thinking anxiously in her heart, the man named Ning Yi suddenly sighed helplessly.
"Okay, Lao Fan, don't scare her. This child is only a few years older than my eldest son. How can you be so shameless?"
Ning Yi turned around and smiled at Christa's stunned gaze, "Let me introduce myself seriously. My name is Ning Yi, and I'm from the Time Travelers Alliance..."
The casual words were like thunder in a clear sky, and Krista's pupils shrank suddenly.
Although she was an international student from Germany, she had been in Neon Island for a long time and was familiar with Japanese light novels, so she easily understood the concept of the "Travelers' Alliance".
Christa asked hesitantly, "You...what do you mean?"
Ning Yi nodded and said simply: "Yes, we are from the same world as you!"
Afterwards, in Christa's eyes filled with shock, excitement and delight, Ning Yi, Fan Xian and Qin Zhaowei revealed their identities as time travelers and the existence of the Time Traveler Alliance.
After listening to it, Christa stood there in shock. After digesting it for a while, she looked at the three people and said:
"So, I have passed your test now?"
"No." Ning Yi shook his head and said with a smile, "To be precise, you have only obtained the recognition of the three of us. Later, auditors from the alliance will come to conduct a second review of the results we submitted."
"In this part, it depends on your performance..."
Krista said dissatisfiedly: "Hey, I haven't decided to join you yet!"
Ning Yi, Fan Xian and Qin Zhaowei looked at each other, and then couldn't help laughing.
Krista snorted, "What are you laughing at? You haven't even asked me yet, so how do you know I will definitely join?"
"Besides, I hate your high-handed attitude the most, as if everything is under control. What if I get impulsive and have to give up this great opportunity?"
Ning Yi was slightly startled, then he stopped smiling and asked seriously, "Then I'm asking you formally now, do you want to join?"
"Join, of course I will join, only a fool would not join!"
Krista answered without hesitation.
Qin Zhaowei said speechlessly: "Then what are you pretending to be?"
Krista pouted and said, "You guys have been playing tricks on me for so many days, can't I play tricks on you?"
“…”
Fan Xian and Qin Zhaowei burst out laughing.
Christa couldn't wait to ask, "You said that the Alliance has the technology to analyze the Giant of Light. Is this true?"
Ning Yi smiled and said, "Of course. To tell you the truth, the stone statue has been sent back to the Alliance and is now being analyzed and studied by the artificial intelligence life form 'Void' and the god of forging Hephaestus in the [Rare Treasure Pavilion]."
"……who?!"
Christa's voice suddenly rose an octave, her eyes widened, and she said in disbelief: "Hephaestus, is this the God of Fire Hephaestus I was thinking of?!"
"That's right."
Ning Yi smiled and said, "However, now that Hephaestus's priesthood of fire has become a deputy priesthood, the power of forging is the real basis for him to become a formal employee of the alliance and control the [Divine Weapon Pavilion]."
"Divine Weapon Pavilion?"
"You can think of it as a shop that specializes in selling all kinds of weapons and equipment."
"oh……"
Afterwards, Krista asked a lot of questions about the alliance.
Ning Yi picked out some common sense that he could tell her and explained it patiently.
After a while, Christa stopped talking contentedly, then turned around and looked at the ancient Komainu monster next to them, which was staring at them with wide eyes and condescendingly said, "So, what should we do with this guy?"
"Don't worry!" Qin Zhaowei walked over, raised his hand and patted its toes and said with a smile, "I have accepted it as my little brother!"
"...Brother? Just you?"
There was a hint of distrust in Krista's eyes.
It's not her fault. After all, among the three people present, Ning Yi has already demonstrated his strength in front of her, and his words and actions are as reliable as those of a mature adult.
Although Fan Xian next to him was a little "suspicious", the martial arts he practiced would not overly conceal his aura. Christa had already sensed the energy in his body when he transformed into a monster. He was definitely the most powerful humanoid creature she had ever seen.
Compared with these two people, Qin Zhaowei, who practiced ancient martial arts, seemed to have returned to basics.
Not only does he have the same aura as an ordinary person, he also looks like the youngest of the three, like a junior high school student under fifteen years old.
Ning Yi smiled and said, "Don't underestimate him, he is the strongest among the three of us!"
Krista was slightly startled and asked suspiciously, "Really?"
Qin Zhaowei was a little angry and glared at her immediately, and his internal energy leaked a little.
In an instant, Christa seemed to see the shadow of an ancient black and white bear behind the boy.
It was standing on the top of a barren mountain, raising its body under the bright sun and roaring towards the sky.
The extremely ancient and wild aura instantly stunned the ignorant girl, causing her legs to go weak. She stumbled back a few steps, staring blankly at the handsome young man with black and white hair.
"Ha, now you're scared, right?"
Qin Zhaowei looked at her with a smug look on his face.
Christa came back to her senses from the shock, blinked her eyes, and couldn't help but blurt out:
"Are you the giant panda that can spit fire?!"
“…It’s the ancient iron-eating beast, the Savage Black and White Bear!!”
Qin Zhaowei couldn't help but glared at her again, and then muttered angrily: "Forget it, you will know how powerful I am in the future..."
