Kyushu Island, Sasebo Naval Base.
The Magnesium Navy's Seventh Fleet base in Japan.
A quarrel is taking place.
"Dr. Emma Russell, you are an expert in the Monarch Organization's super-biology. Please tell me how we should explain this to the Security Council and the Committee..."
A middle-aged man in a suit and tie asked:
"How are we going to explain this to the world?"
"Tell them to stay calm."
Emma Russell said lightly.
The middle-aged man pushed his glasses:
"You want me to tell the UN Secretary-General to 'stay calm', is that what you mean?"
Emma Russell did not answer, but asked:
"Excuse me, who are you?"
The accompanying staff hurriedly explained:
"I didn't have time to introduce you all just now. This is Miles Atherton, the observer here..."
"I am the plenipotentiary to the Nuclear Safety Commission and the United Nations Security Council, and I have been authorized by the government to promote accountability and vigilance regarding the activities of the Monarch Organization following the string of attacks on nuclear power plants along the Mississippi River."
The middle-aged man spoke condescendingly.
"I know what happened along the Mississippi River. I was there and saw it firsthand."
Emma Russell said in a deep voice.
"Then I think you can understand the concerns of the government and the public about the Monarch Organization hiding too many secrets."
The middle-aged man said expressionlessly.
"Hide? The government allows it..."
Emma Russell was about to retort.
"This incident could have been avoided!"
Miles Atherton interrupted,
"From what I know, the black monster that attacked the coastal nuclear power plant is inextricably linked to a certain collection in your Imperial Organization. Also, one of the two internal personnel who have been missing to this day is the son of a founding father. After all, it turns out that all of this is caused by your mistakes at work..."
The observer's tone was very unkind.
"We are scientists, and we keep this secret from the public to avoid mass panic until humanity is on the brink of extinction, when the world will come to ask for our opinion."
Emma Russell also responded.
"Okay, okay, you two..."
A staff member quickly came to smooth things over:
"The shrine is ready. Everyone, let's pack up and head over there, shall we?"
"snort."
Emma Russell snorted and turned away.
Miles Atherton followed closely behind and said,
"I will keep a close eye on you."
Evelyn slowly followed behind everyone, silently looking at Emma Russell's back in a windbreaker.
The sharp exchange of words just now made this airborne project manager who had just joined the Imperial Organization quickly gain the trust of the project team members - at least she dared to respond bluntly to those outsiders who were pointing fingers.
It even made Evelin doubt herself.
Am I overthinking it?
If Dr. Emma is really the so-called "extraterrestrial visitor", why did she speak so well, with strong and sharp words, and express the thoughts of the researchers present? She must have rich scientific research experience to be able to say this.
But when Emma Russell followed the staff over, Evelyn suddenly realized that she didn't seem that angry. Her anger... seemed to be acting. On the contrary, when she heard Miles Atherton mention that incident, Emma Russell's expression seemed to be slightly proud.
Evelyn quietly clenched her phone.
...
"Emma Russell, I remember that."
Fu Qinghai spoke.
The portrait in the holographic projection slowly rotates.
"I also remember the relevant plot. The heroine of the movie Godzilla: King of the Monsters seemed to say that her son died because of Godzilla's invasion of San Francisco, which caused her values to become seriously distorted. She wanted to use the Orca device to quietly awaken the Titans around the world, completely destroy all humans, and create a new world without any environmental pollution."
Xiao Fei also added:
"The Godzilla invasion of San Francisco should have happened in 2014, the plot of the first Godzilla movie. Emma Russell might still be a normal person now, not the environmental terrorist she later became."
"No."
Fu Qinghai shook his head:
"She is definitely not a normal person... We are not even sure if she is a human being."
Fu Qinghai said in a deep voice:
"Zhao Jianming told me that the perfect humans Lev Alessandro and Moira Robinson have both come to the Monster Movie Universe. What a coincidence that both of them have the ability to disguise themselves and replace others. According to the informant's tip, I suspect that Emma Russell is no longer the same person as before."
Not to mention the blacklight virus.
Miranda, the villain goddess in "Resident Evil: Cloud Edition" and "Resident Evil: Village", used type E mold to change her appearance and became the wife of the male protagonist Ethan. Ethan didn't even realize that his wife had been replaced by someone else.
These viruses and fungi of perfect humans are simply magical weapons in certain specific battlefields.
"Things are a little complicated, Khan."
Xiao Fei reminded Fu Qinghai:
"Assuming your informant's information is correct and that Emma Russell is really dead, then there will inevitably be many chain reactions. Emma Russell is the inventor of the Orca Device. Without the Orca Device, humans will not be able to influence the Titans."
"I thought of that, too."
Fu Qinghai nodded.
But he did not continue the topic, and asked instead:
"What Titan beast is related to earthquakes?"
"I don't know. I've only seen the movie, and it doesn't seem to mention any Titan monsters related to earthquakes."
Xiao Fei shook his head and said.
"How many times do we currently have enough artificial monster blood to support the pod-type aircraft to take off?"
Fu Qinghai suddenly asked again.
"It can support three intercontinental flights. But I have to remind you that the melta cannon also needs artificial monster blood as ammunition, so my advice is... unless the target is very clear, don't send out the Titans."
Xiao Fei said.
Just as Fu Qinghai thought, since the ammunition reserves are limited, the "Pojun Golden Armor" must be used as a surprise force and cannot be deployed easily. Once deployed, it must achieve results.
It is still unknown whether the Titan that the Monarch organization went to investigate belongs to the Protector camp or the Destroyer camp. According to Clavius: The Protector camp will certainly harm humans, and the Destroyer camp is occasionally beneficial to the environment.
The night elf is still on Skull Island, studying her animal and plant fusion spells, otherwise she could come and consult with her.
Fu Qinghai thought to himself.
...
At night, the moonlight is hazy and the stars are dim.
On a coast somewhere on Kyushu Island, in a lush mountain forest, the crowd walked up the mountain along the road, passed through the iconic red torii, and arrived at a quiet shrine.
"This shrine looks very historic."
Emma Russell looked around and said.
"Yes, it dates back to the sixteenth century."
The Japanese delegation said:
"But that's just the time it was built. As a sacred site, it's much older than the building itself."
"But we are not here for tourism."
Miles Atherton says:
"Who can tell me what the meaning of coming here is?"
No one paid any attention to him.
A priest came out. He was wearing a white sakura robe with wide shoulder pads, a tall black ōmon hat on his head, and holding a foot-long tablet in his hand. It was a typical Shinto attire.
"Please follow me, everyone."
The palace steward bowed slightly and said.
The crowd followed the religious man into the shrine, passing by a large wooden sculpture of an ugly Japanese-style god holding a drum and beating it. The sculpture seemed to have fallen over once due to the earthquake, and there were traces of bumps and paint peeling on it, but it was propped up again.
This shrine is located halfway up the mountain. Several people walked out of the shrine and walked up the ancient stone stairs. After walking for more than ten minutes, they finally arrived at the edge of a huge deep pit.
"Wow…"
Everyone exclaimed in surprise.
A huge pit with a diameter of hundreds of meters.
You can't see the bottom at a glance.
"This is the epicenter of the earthquake. That night, a huge monster broke out of the ground and soon disappeared into the sea."
The palace assistant pointed at the deep pit and said.
"What does it look like?"
Emma Russell then asked the priest.
"Sorry, we couldn't see it clearly."
"Is there any evidence left at the scene?"
Emma Russell turned and looked at the Japanese staff.
"No biological tissue samples were found, only huge footprints similar to those of an arthropod."
The other person shook his head.
The conversation came to a standstill.
"Oh no, it was a wasted trip."
Miles Atherton spread his hands and said:
"I don't understand the point of us coming all the way here. We can make it clear in just a phone call and two or three sentences. See, this may be the efficiency of the Imperial Organization. It is simply a waste of the United Nations and taxpayers' money."
Emma Russell didn't bother to pay attention to him at all. Instead, she turned to look at the chief priest and asked,
"This shrine has a long history and is very ancient. It is called a holy place. I think there must be a reason, right?"
"Yes, ma'am."
The palace attendant answered respectfully, and then continued:
"Shrines across Japan worship a god in the form of a fish, the Earthquake Catfish, the Caller of Earthquakes, the Caller of Destruction. But unknown to them, the Earthquake Catfish has another form, a more ancient one."
"The legendary dragon beetle and earthquake beetle."
insect?
Everyone paid close attention to this word.
Is it an insect-shaped Titan?
"Okay, is there any other information about him at the shrine? Pictures? Sculptures? Murals?"
Emma Russell continued to ask.
"Don't call 'it' 'he', Doctor. Different gender pronouns will cause different legends."
The palace assistant reminded her.
What does that mean?
Emma Russell was slightly stunned.
Does this mean that... male and female individuals are very different?
Evelyn thought to herself.
"The shrine has preserved a Ukiyo-e print from a long, long time ago. Hmm, I have to look for it carefully..."
The chief priest lay down beside the cabinet, searching as he spoke:
"Our shrine worships the God of Thunder, the statue you saw when you entered the door. The God of Thunder can shoot blue lightning that changes the color of the sky and the earth. He and the earthquake beetle are ancient enemies. In ancient legends, once the God of Thunder is unable to beat the drum, the earthquake beetle will rise up and become the earthquake beetle god!"
It looks like an insect.
The characteristics of males and females are different.
Thor's archenemy.
Emma Russell's frown deepened.
Why does it sound so much like...
"Ah, I found it!"
The palace assistant knelt on the ground, holding a mottled and faded ancient print in his hand, and said with a look of surprise.
Emma Russell leaned over to take a look.
Sure enough, it was the MUTO!
Emma Russell understood it immediately.
No, it's not quite the same as MUTO.
Emma Russell examined the panel carefully.
The MUTOs in the movie look like a giant praying mantis, with scarlet eyes and a pitch-black body. The males are slightly smaller but can fly, while the females are larger but cannot fly... However, the "MUTOs" in the print have thicker arms, and muscles covered with golden scales bulge in the gaps of their black shells.
Could it be... the legendary...
"The Supreme MUTO?"
Emma Russell muttered to herself.
Evelyn, who was standing nearby, glanced over slightly and her ears quickly caught the word.
Emma Russell looked as if she had suddenly realized something.
Everyone gathered around:
"Dr. Emma, have you found anything?"
"Doctor, do you understand?"
"What kind of Titan?"
Emma Russell didn't rush to answer their questions, but glanced sideways at Miles Atherton.
He said slowly:
"Even if there is no biological tissue left, I can still tell. There is a saying that goes..."
Emma Russell's lips curled up into a smile.
"Mythology is our compass."
Evelin raised her brows slightly.
Fu Qinghai also said this.
