Across Ultra: Half Dream

A faint sadness wore over Imeng's face as she recalled Fujimiya's words: "Every time we faced life and death, he always came to my rescue. This time... and that time as well... If it weren't for Aguru, I wouldn't have won..."

I dreamed of what Fujimiya said when he gave me Aguru's power, and sighed. "This time, Fujimiya was so disappointed that he gave up Aguru's power..."

After a moment of silence, he muttered to himself, "Fujimiya... from now on, will I be the only one fighting alone?"

At this moment, the computer suddenly received a message, interrupting my thoughts. I looked carefully and found that it was sent by my mother. The message was full of caring words, which made me feel very warm in my heart.

Afterwards, I dreamed of asking for leave from Commander Shishi and going back to the university, but the campus was empty. After thinking for a moment, I remembered that it was spring break.

Then I walked to the street and looked at the bustling crowd, but it did not attract my attention at all. Instead, I looked up and looked silently at the XIG base in the sky.

After a while, I decided to return to the base.

When we got back to the base, everyone asked me in surprise, "I'm Meng, weren't you on vacation? Why are you back?"

"No, because the person I'm looking for is not here..."

Kajio said jokingly, "In my opinion, you'd better let it rest."

Kajio looked at Gamu's puzzled expression, nodded Gamu's head and said with a smile, "Your head."

Seeing that everyone was still as usual, my mood instantly improved and I looked more energetic.

I Meng smiled and hurried back to the command room. But as soon as I got back, I heard Qiao Ji's anxious voice. "An urgent call from Speaker Daniel of Alchemy Star!"

Everything on the screen changed. Daniel said with a grim expression, "Commander, Chrissis is alive again!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's faces turned very ugly.

The Stone Chamber Commander quickly stepped forward, frowning and asking, "What do you mean?!"

Daniel: "The virus released by Chrissis has already invaded the computer host of the GUARD European branch!"

Staff Officer Chiba asked in confusion, "Isn't Chrissis sealed?!"

Daniel continued with a headache, "Before the entire system was shut down, Chrissis's last command became an independent program! And, it's parasitic on the international network! It's like a ghost!"

The Stone Chamber Commander muttered to himself with a dull look in his eyes, "Ghost? The ghost of Chrissis?"

Daniel continued, "All systems of the GUARD European branch have been infected with the virus and crashed. I'm afraid..." Before he could finish his words, the screen flashed and the call was disconnected.

Qiao Ji checked for a moment and said, "The communication line to the outside is completely cut off!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire XIG base was automatically blocked, the defense system was automatically activated, and the base was filled with alarms.

When everyone was still confused, Dunzi suddenly shouted, "Someone hacked into the computer!"

Staff Officer Chiba said solemnly, "It's the ghost of Chrissis!"

The next moment, just as Chief of Staff Chiba had guessed, the computer screen suddenly moved on its own, and pictures of various systems being invaded appeared.

Looking at this situation, the Stone Chamber Commander ordered, "Switch to the backup system!"

But after Dunzi and Qiao Ji tried it, they found that it was useless and they were also hacked.

Hearing this, I couldn't stand it anymore and hurried forward to help. "That shouldn't be the case. The backup system should be completely independent!"

"Areas A2 and A6 have been invaded by a virus!" Dunzi said, his fingers almost sparking. "Anti-virus software is running!"

乔姬紧接着道“然后是A1、A4、A8区域，它正在破译反病毒程序！30%…70%…好快啊！”

Dunzi said anxiously, "The anti-virus program doesn't work!"

I Meng quickly reminded him, "Anti-virus programs can evolve automatically! I'll send the instructions!"

Qiao Ji: "System command, A3, A5, A9 areas, begin invasion! 10 seconds left to complete!"

Hearing Qiao Ji's words, everyone's faces were filled with shock. The next moment, just as Qiao Ji finished speaking, as if to verify Qiao Ji's words, area A on the computer screen completely turned from green to red.

Qiao Ji: "Area A has been completely occupied by the dead!"

The next moment, the machine behind Director Di suddenly exploded, and many sparks came out. Director Di was so scared that he quickly protected his head.

Qiao Ji turned around and continued to check, her face solemn as she said, "The defense system and weapon control system have failed!"

Soon, everyone saw that area B on the screen was also being invaded by ghosts.

Staff Officer Chiba frowned at the Stone Chamber Commander and said, "If all systems are invaded, then..."

Upon hearing Chief of Staff Chiba's question, Commander Shishi turned to look at Womeng. Womeng raised his head and said gravely, "The anti-gravity device will stop... the ship will fall!"

After hearing what Wo Meng said, everyone's faces turned even uglier. Wo Meng ignored everyone's mood and continued to control the program. "The enemy is too fast! Use this little computer to input..."

When Qiao Ji heard what I Meng said, she suddenly remembered something and ran out of the command room quickly.

Megumi, standing by, pounded the table in self-blame. "My strength... is totally useless!"

Dunzi, who continued to operate the computer, seemed to sense I-Meng's emotions and encouraged her, "I-Meng, you must never give up!"

Qiao Ji ran out and was still searching for something quickly. At this time, Director Di in the command room suddenly discovered that "the oxygen concentration in the cabin is decreasing!"

The staff in other places in the XIG base discovered various situations and began to panic. Director Di had no choice but to go there in person to comfort everyone.

Seeing that the situation was getting worse, Chief of Staff Chiba said solemnly, "If this continues... Area B will also..."

Sure enough, the next moment, the computer screen showed that Area B had been completely invaded, and the spacecraft suddenly shook violently, and many sparks suddenly flashed inside the spacecraft, causing everyone in the command room to panic.

At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out from within the base. I Meng listened carefully and said solemnly, "What?! This is Chrissis' voice!"

On the computer screen nearby, more and more red appeared, making Staff Officer Chiba feel increasingly solemn. He could only say, "Commander, have all crew members prepare to leave the ship. The worst-case scenario is that the ship will explode!"

After hearing what Chief of Staff Chiba said, the commander of the stone chamber thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

At this moment, Qiao Ji suddenly ran back, holding something in her hand and said anxiously, "Wait a minute!"

Everyone was confused when they saw what Qiao Ji was holding. But before they could ask, they saw Dunzi quickly running to Qiao Ji and saying, "Let me do it!"

Then, Dunzi worked quickly in front of everyone's shocked eyes and completely eliminated the virus that had invaded the XIG base.

After seeing everything return to normal, everyone thought that everything was fine, but problems arose again in the F4 laboratory.

Higuchi said anxiously, "Commander! This is Geo Base! An emergency has occurred!"

The stone chamber commander asked in a deep voice, "Higuchi, what's wrong?"

Higuchi: "We've been attacked by a computer virus, and all the equipment in the F4 laboratory has been compromised!"

Upon hearing this news, everyone in the command room was shocked and solemn. While there was anxiety here, Beidou Nanxing was relaxed.

Beidou Nanxing looked at the busy Inamori Kyoko and said with a smile, "Fourth brother, now that Dr. Inamori has recovered, you don't have to worry about her anymore, and she can continue her research."

Fujimiya didn't say anything, but just watched the recovered Inamori busy in the laboratory.

Seeing that Fujimiya ignored him, Beidou Nanxing curled his lips and said, "Fourth brother, you are not attracted to her, are you? However, Dr. Inamori is not bad as my sister-in-law."

Hearing this, Fujimiya finally reacted, glanced at Beidou Nanxing and said, "She is good, but she doesn't belong to me."

"Okay, okay." Beidou Nanxing rolled his eyes and suddenly thought of something and said, "Fourth brother, do you want to go to the theater?"

"Hmm?" Even the smart Fujimiya was a little unable to keep up with Beidou Nanxing's thinking when the topic was suddenly changed.

Seeing Fujimiya's reaction, Beidou Nanxing crossed his arms and sneered, "Fourth brother, you see, if you only think about one thing every day, your brain will become rigid and old~"

Fujimiya's forehead throbbed with pain after hearing this. "Beidou Nanxing!"

"Hey! Dad is here!" Beidou Nanxing shouted subconsciously when he heard his name.

But after seeing Fujimiya's livid expression, he thought to himself, "Oh no!" and quickly tried to appease the irritated person. "That's it! I spoke too quickly..."

Beidou Nanxing was just about to apologize when he felt his collar being lifted up from the back of his neck and left hanging in the air. "Ah! Fourth brother! I was wrong! I was really wrong! Put me down... I was wrong!"

Looking at Beidou Nanxing who was fluttering around timidly, Fujimiya put her down in a bad mood and said, "Who made you like this? A girl who is so naughty, be careful that you won't be able to get married in the future."

Just after getting down to the ground, Beidou Nanxing curled her lips when she heard this and said, "Why should I get married? Wouldn't it be good to be alone? Finding someone to cause trouble to myself? I'm not mentally ill."

Fujimiya turned his head and squinted at Beidou Nanxing, "It's better not to marry, so as not to cause trouble to others."

This time, Beidou Nanxing was the one to get angry. "You! Fourth brother! Don't make personal attacks like that!"

Fujimiya raised his eyebrows with an expression that said, "What can you do to me?", which made Beidou Nanxing feel a toothache.

"Hmph~ I won't bother with you! I'm magnanimous!" Beidou Nanxing said stubbornly, "Speaking of which, Fourth Brother, are you going or not? If you don't go, I'll go by myself, but Gaia~"

Fujimiya, who originally didn't want to join in the fun, decisively agreed to go after hearing Gaia's name.

As soon as he finished speaking, Fujimiya saw Beidou Nanxing's eyes almost narrowed into slits due to laughing, and then he realized that he had been "tricked" by Beidou Nanxing.

Seeing Fujimiya looking at him expressionlessly, Beidou Nanxing looked away guiltily, pretending to look around at the scenery, and walked forward quickly. Fujimiya shook his head helplessly and raised his legs to catch up with the cheerful person in front.

Along the way, Beidou and Nanxing were both very excited, chattering non-stop. Fujimiya mostly listened quietly, occasionally chiming in. He was actually quite curious about what was happening on Gaia.
