TPC Integrated Base.

Commander's room.

"A monster has appeared in the skies over the Andes, and two fighter jets are tracking it," Mai Midorikawa said, turning to look at Hibi.

"Activate surveillance satellites."

"Yes!" Midorikawa Mai nodded and immediately activated the monitoring satellite to track the target.

However, the images from the monitoring satellites only showed thick clouds, making it impossible to see any trace of the monster.

"The weather's bad, let's switch to radar surveillance," Nakajima said, and immediately began operating it.

Soon, the radar immediately showed the shadow of a bird-like monster, as well as the signals of two fighter jets.

However, the moment the signals from the two fighter jets appeared, the signal from one of them disappeared instantly.

"The fighter jet has been shot down!" Koda exclaimed, standing up abruptly.

The Andes region is located in South America. Although the TPC branch there did not have the Condor Heroes in service, it was a modified Condor Heroes with an atmospheric speed close to Mach 6. However, it had no ability to resist this unknown monster and was shot down by it.

Before Koda could finish speaking, the remaining fighter jet signal on the radar also shattered and disappeared.

"Captain, please send us to support them," Asuka said, standing up immediately.

"Alright!" Upon hearing this, Hibi glanced at Asuka with satisfaction, then slammed his hand on the table, stood up from his chair, and prepared to assign tasks.

"Please wait a moment!" Mai Midorikawa said quickly, noticing the changes on the radar.

"Look!"

On the radar, the shadow of the giant bird monster had vanished.

"Disappeared?!" Asuka exclaimed in surprise.

Seeing this, Hibi immediately turned to Midorikawa Mai and instructed, "Mai, use the temperature measuring device to check the area around where the monster disappeared."

"understand!"

"Koda, contact the South American branch immediately and ask them to send over the camera footage of the fighter jets," Hibi said, turning to Koda.

"Understood!" Koda nodded and immediately began contacting the South American branch.

"Nakajima!"

"Yes!"

"Gather all the currently known data and compare it with this monster one by one."

"understand!"

Despite the Super GUTS team's best efforts in searching, they couldn't find any trace of the monster.

At this time, Koda obtained the video footage sent by the South American branch after communicating with them.

"The camera recording data of the fighter jets shot down by the monster has been transmitted." Koda mobilized the camera data and projected it onto the large screen in the command room.

The next moment, a blurry image of a bird-like monster appeared on the screen.

Even after being magnified and sharpened, the image is still very blurry, and you can barely make out the shape of the monster.

When Kariya saw the monster on the screen, he suddenly stood up from his chair, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"This……"

"What's wrong?" Hibi turned around, looked at Kariya who had stood up, and asked.

"Could it be...? How could such a thing happen?" Kariya stared in astonishment at the monster image on the screen, muttering to himself.

"Kariya, do you have any clues?" Nakajima walked over quickly, looking expectant.

"Hmm, although I'm not entirely sure, there are geoglyphs in the Andes called Danksadel that look very similar to that monster." Kariya snapped out of his reverie and immediately pulled up an image of the geoglyph.

"They're so similar."

"It's so similar."

The members of Super Victory Team looked at the simple drawing on the ground on the screen and couldn't help but sigh.

Although it is just a simple line drawing, it bears a striking resemblance to that bird-like monster.

"A prank call? Hehehe, are there weirdos forming a circle in the yard of a house? In Millennium Town?" Mai Midorikawa's voice suddenly rang out in the command room, attracting the attention of the others.

"Millennium Town?" Upon hearing this, Kariya looked at Midorikawa Mai with surprise, then quickly ran to her side and asked, "Where in Millennium Town? What's the head of the household's surname?"

“I heard her surname is Akizuki,” Midorikawa Mai replied.

"Autumn Moon..."

"Kariya, what's wrong?" Koda asked curiously.

“I think it’s a coincidence. I know a geoglyph researcher whose last name is Akizuki. They also live in Millennium Town. Dr. Akizuki went to South America three years ago to study the geoglyphs of Danksadel. After that, he suddenly retired from the academy. He is also my mentor.” Kariya explained briefly to the Super GUTS team.

"Alright, then the investigation is in your hands." Hibi patted Kariya on the shoulder and smiled.

"Yes!" Kariya nodded and prepared to set off for the Millennium Town.

"Oh, right, take this." Hibi took out the Rivera Flash and put it in Kariya's hand, saying, "This is the signal transmitter for the Dyna Armor. You can use it to put on the Dyna Armor and fight if you encounter danger."

"Yes." Kariya took the Rivera Flash from Hibi, saluted Hibi, and ran out of the command room.

Asuka looked at the Riverashe Flash in Kariya's hand and subconsciously touched the Flash Sword in her own chest pocket.

"What's wrong?" Yumimura Ryo turned to look at Asuka and asked.

"N-nothing," Asuka said with an embarrassed smile, shaking her head repeatedly.

……

Millennium Town.

Kariya arrived at Dr. Akizuki's residence in his patrol car. Looking at the lush greenery in front of him, he couldn't help but recall the wonderful experience of studying at Dr. Akizuki's house.

But now...

The thought of the strange man described by the witnesses weighed heavily on Kariya's mind.

What he feared most was that his mentor and his family would be murdered.

It's very likely that when my mentor retired three years ago...

Putting aside the chaotic thoughts in his mind, Kariya opened the small door in the wall and walked into the courtyard of the Akizuki family. He then walked to the gate of the Akizuki mansion and gently knocked on the door.

Soon, the gate of the mansion was pushed open from the inside, and the middle-aged woman who opened the door saw Kariya standing at the door and immediately showed a warm smile on her face: "Oh my, what a rare guest!"

"It's been a long time." Seeing his teacher's wife, who hadn't changed much, Kariya breathed a sigh of relief, a smile appearing on his face as he bowed slightly in greeting.

"Please come in, what brings you here to visit us?" Madam Qiuyue said with a smile.

"I have a question about the painting on the ground that I'd like to ask Dr. Akizuki," Kariya replied truthfully.

"Auntie, why did Dr. Akizuki suddenly retire?"

"I don't know either, maybe I'm just tired of it."

"That's it..."

While gathering information, Kariya entered the mansion, subtly surveying its layout.

Inside the mansion, the light was dim, giving it a very gloomy feel.

"Please sit down first, I'll go and call him down," Madam Qiuyue gestured.

"Yes~" Kariya nodded slightly and walked into the reception room with practiced ease.

The layout of the reception room remained largely unchanged, except for a mysterious cylindrical device in the corner that caught Kariya's attention.

Just as Kariya was about to approach and take a closer look, a voice suddenly came from behind him.

Don't touch it.

Kariya turned around and saw Dr. Akizuki looking at him expressionlessly.

For some reason, he felt a sense of unease and unfamiliarity.

"Haha, welcome! You seem to be in good spirits," Dr. Akizuki said with a smile. (End of Chapter)
