Working as a consultant in the Ultra Universe

A silver eagle was ejected from the hangar of the spacecraft Mami and headed straight for the battlefield.

Inside the cockpit of the Silver Eagle, Ito Junkichi sat in the front seat, while Gu Chen unsurprisingly sat in the back.

Although everyone at UGM initially opposed Gu Chen's involvement in such a dangerous operation, Gu Chen gave them a reason they couldn't refuse.

That is, the intensity of the current negative energy fluctuations could, if not handled properly, lead to the destruction of the entire human civilization. In such a situation, if we cannot understand the situation and react in time, the consequences will be unbearable for everyone.

Don't say that Gu Chen is the highest-ranking officer of the Earth Defense Force in the Asia-Pacific region. Under such a crisis, status is no longer the first thing to consider.

Of course, this was Gu Chen's explanation to convince everyone; in reality, he was trying to ensure that nothing unexpected would happen to Ito Junkichi during the operation.

Although Junkichi Ito showed some resistance to the influence of negative energy, the limits of this resistance have not been tested. Therefore, if Junkichi Ito were to suddenly be unable to resist the influence of negative energy during an operation, then a serious problem would arise.

That's why Gu Chen asked to act together, firstly to prevent any accidents from happening, and secondly to test the limits of Ito Junkichi's potential.

Although the cellular mutations that occurred when he transformed into a monster have been completely restored, judging from his performance just now, it seems that something inexplicable has happened to Junkichi Ito.

The exact cause is still unknown, but based on the comprehensive physical examination conducted by the medical center, Junkichi Ito is still a pure Earthling.

"Advisor, get ready, we're about to enter the outer perimeter of the battlefield."

Junkichi Ito's voice came from ahead, and he also reported the situation of the operation to the spaceship Mami.

"Understood, proceed with caution."

Gu Chen responded calmly, showing no sign of nervousness.

On the other hand, Junkichi Ito's palms were already sweating profusely.

Taking a deep breath, Ito Junkichi slowly pushed the control stick, and the silver eagle once again plunged into the battlefield area.

Meanwhile, everyone aboard the spaceship Mami was watching the Silver Eagle's movements through the portholes with tense expressions.

Soon, the detection radar on board the Silver Eagle immediately showed that the surrounding negative energy fluctuations were rapidly increasing, and piercing alarms rang out continuously.

"Is the negative energy fluctuation already this intense just on the outskirts? I can't imagine what the center of the battlefield must look like."

Junkichi Ito glanced at the values ​​displayed on the detection radar, swallowed hard, and said.

"Indeed, in this situation, we don't know the specifics of Zakar and Gamos's condition."

Gu Chen nodded with a serious expression.

To be honest, this level of negative energy fluctuation was beyond his imagination. It was as if the ultimate darkness hidden in the sea of ​​negative energy had sensed his thoughts and then specially delivered a negative energy gift package to him.

Moreover, if such generous gifts were given out a few more times, the problem of the negative energy sea riot would probably resolve itself.

"We are about to enter the inner zone of the battlefield. According to radar detection results, the aircraft may experience some turbulence."

Ito Junkichi's expression was very solemn. As he spoke, the silver eagle officially left the outer area of ​​the battlefield and arrived at the inner circle of the battlefield, still some distance away from the core area of ​​the battlefield.

At that moment, the Silver Eagle suddenly shook violently, as if something outside was constantly impacting its body.

Soon, Junkichi Ito noticed that the cockpit canopy was quickly covered with fine sand.

"Is it a sandstorm? No, it's a sand tornado."

After observing for a moment, Ito Junkichi exclaimed in surprise.

Fortunately, the Silver Eagle's body was sturdy enough that it could withstand direct confrontation with the Sand Tornado without any problems, although its vision was inevitably obstructed.

Immediately, with the combined efforts of Ito Junkichi and Gu Chen, the Silver Eagle's body gradually stabilized and began to approach the center of the battlefield in the direction of the Sand Tornado's rotation.

"Advisor, Ito, are you alright?"

At that moment, Daiyama Ichiki's voice came over the airborne broadcast.

"It's nothing. The brief tremor was caused by the machine suddenly entering the sand tornado's range of activity. It's been dealt with now."

Junkichi Ito responded immediately.

"Besides that, how are things going between you and your advisor?"

Daiyama Kazuki pressed on, asking that compared to the effects of negative energy, the threat of the sand tornado was secondary.

"Ito and I are both in good condition and have not been affected by negative energy."

Gu Chen spoke.

Upon hearing this, the crew on the spaceship Mami breathed a slight sigh of relief, then continued to record the negative energy fluctuation diagrams collected from the Silver Eagle with lingering fear.

"Advisor, did you hear anything?"

Just then, Ito Junkichi suddenly frowned, listened for a moment, and then asked Gu Chen with some uncertainty.

"I heard it. It must be the sound of Zakar and Gamos fighting."

Gu Chen nodded. His senses were much more sensitive than Ito Junkichi's, and he could hear sounds more clearly.

However, Gu Chen was surprised that Ito Junkichi could hear such a subtle sound in such an environment.

Could it be that... after experiencing the Shiokaze Island incident, Junkichi Ito's physical functions have actually begun to evolve?

"A sound? Did you hear that?"

Upon hearing the conversation between Gu Chen and Ito Junkichi, Oyama Kazuki, aboard the spaceship Mami, looked at his team members with a puzzled expression and asked them a question.

When Daiyama Ichiki asked the question, the team members all pricked up their ears to listen, and then shook their heads with puzzled expressions.

"Could it be that the consultants are hallucinating?"

Hiroshi Tajima said with some concern, after all, it's not surprising to experience auditory and visual hallucinations under the influence of negative energy.

"Advisor, Ito, why don't you withdraw immediately? The data we've collected so far is barely enough."

Upon hearing Hiroshi Tajima's words, Kazuki Oyama frowned and pondered for a moment before finally speaking up.

"No, Captain, I feel okay. Silver Eagle can still hold on and is about to enter the center of the battlefield to find out what's going on there. We absolutely cannot give up halfway at this point."

Junkichi Ito rejected Kazuki Oyama's suggestion without even thinking about it.

"Don't worry, Dashan, if we can't hold on, we'll turn back immediately. You have to believe that we won't joke around with our lives."

Gu Chen's voice followed, but this still did not dispel the worries in everyone's hearts.
