Background / History

Deng and Zeng operate as the Asian Twin Eagles, a pair active in Japan. Deng first encounters Jiang Xin after a Ning attack, immediately identifying Jiang's Power of Replication through his own Insight Power. Alongside Zeng, he recruits Jiang to help eliminate a giant Ning as a test arranged by Kuo Ming. After Jiang passes, Deng directs him to report to Okinawa for Pitch Black assignment. 21 22

Later, Deng and Zeng accompany Guangcheng Heming on missions in the United States. Before investigating a freshwater-lake creature, the trio practices coordination through Dinosaur Hunter, where Deng selects dual pistols and demonstrates precise ranged support. 31 32

At Stargazing Lake, Deng assists in documenting and confronting the Tentacle Polyp Monster. He photographs the creature before the group attacks, then uses a burst of energy to halt a monster that has nearly swallowed him. 33

Deng and Zeng subsequently join Heming in Japan to retaliate against the Liqin Gang. Deng supports the assault with the MPS-01 and eliminates the Bitter Monk opponents with his signature gun technique before leaving for an emergency assembly. 33

He later contacts Heming to apologize for leaving him exposed during the Liqin Gang operation and arranges for Zeng to send an item to him. 35 Deng also invites Heming and Rie to Miss, where the four participate in a staged survival game and advance beyond its first trial. 40 46

Personality

Deng is casual, sociable, and enthusiastic about games; he eagerly uses a limited-edition T-Rex Capture Card as an excuse to bring Heming and Zeng into Dinosaur Hunter. 31

He is also considerate of his allies. After the Liqin Gang operation, he personally checks on Heming, apologizes for the circumstances that led to Heming being attacked, and ensures that Zeng sends support. 35 During the Miss game, he speaks casually about the group’s progress and explains the scoring requirements to Heming and Rie. 45
