The next afternoon, Sobu High School[All-Heavens Rescue Club] activity room.
The early summer sunshine shines through the windows on the long table, and the activity room is filled with a peaceful daily atmosphere.
Yukino is reading quietly, Eriri is biting a pencil and imagining a new drawing. Ai Haibara, who has nowhere to go for the time being, is brought to the audience as a "distant relative" and is sitting in the corner of the sofa, flipping through a science magazine.
"Wow--"
The sliding door of the activity room was pushed open, and Lin Xiao, who woke up naturally from his sleep, walked in slowly.
"Good morning, everyone."
As Lin Xiao stepped into the room, the pure and warm "Light of Gaia" aura instantly swept through the entire activity room like a breeze.
"Lin Xiao-sama!!!"
Lin Xiao had just finished saying hello, and Miko Yotsuya was wiping the table in the corner. It was as if a radar had locked on the signal, and his eyes instantly burst out with extremely fanatical light!
She dropped the rag and knelt directly in front of Lin Xiao at a sprint speed of 100 meters.
Feeling the reassuring absolute realm, Miko burst into tears, took a deep breath, and sighed from the depths of his soul:
"This is such a sense of security..."
"It's only been two days, but why do I feel... as if I've been living in this hell without you for many years? Woohoo!"
For a girl who owns Yin-Yang Eyes and often faces terrifying evil spirits, during these two days on the weekend, she has to be afraid even to go to the toilet.
Now bathing in the radiance of this "humanoid self-propelled purifier" again, Miko feels that his whole being has been sublimated.
"Please continue to protect your most loyal believers! Lord God!"
Looking at Miko who was lying in front of him, barely holding a merit box and inserting coins, the corners of Lin Xiao's eyes twitched slightly.
He was silent for two seconds, and then uttered one word from his mouth without emotion:
"6."
Yukino:"..."
Eriri:"..."
Ai Haibara:"..."
After a brief silence, the activity room erupted into extremely uniform complaints.
"Lin Xiao!"
Eriri blushed, pointed at Miko on the ground and yelled, "What on earth did you do to classmate Yotsuya?! Why did she kneel down and worship as soon as she saw you! Are you really doing some kind of mind control in school!!!"
"I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!" Lin Xiao quickly waved his hand to clarify.
Yukino picked up the black tea cup, rubbed his eyebrows with a headache, and said in a cold voice with deep helplessness:
"It seems that Teacher Hiratsuka's previous suspicions were not groundless. Classmate Lin Xiao, as the minister of [All-Heavens Rescue Club], not only did you fail to lead the members to carry out legitimate activities, but you have already begun to accept worship from believers. Maybe I really should order a set of leader's uniforms for you."
Ai Haibara, who was sitting in the corner, looked at Lin Xiao with the eyes of an "extremely dangerous element".
Her young face was full of the vicissitudes and contempt of an adult:
"Now I finally understand how you, a guy from an orphanage, used to defraud so much money. It turns out that you are a swindler who made his fortune through deception."
"Can you three be reasonable? She insists on worshiping me!"
Lin Xiao stretched out his hands in despair. "Miko, please stand up and explain a few words to me! If you continue to bow like this, I will feel a lot of pressure."
"But..." Miko raised his head, with an innocent and confident face, "Lin Xiao is a great god who can save the world! Is there anything wrong with believing in gods?"
Yukino:"..."
Eriri:"..."
Ai Haibara:"..."
It's over, this kid is hopeless, he has been brainwashed to the point of being completely abnormal.
Looking at Yukino, Eriri and Ai Haibara, their eyes are getting more and more dangerous, as if they are looking at "perverted magicians".
Lin Xiao sighed in despair, immediately lifted Miko off the ground, and pressed him on the chair next to him.
"Okay, stop saying goodbye! If others see me, I really have to go to Chiba Prefectural Police to eat pork chop rice today!"
Lin Xiao walked to the long table and knocked on the table. "In short, I am a serious high school student, nothing..."
"B--! B--! B--!"
Lin Xiao has not finished his pale defense.
The TV set on the wall of the activity room and the mobile phones Yukino and the others placed on the table suddenly emitted an extremely harsh special disaster prevention warning sound at the same time!
"Again?!"
Eriri was so frightened that he clutched the drawing book. "What is it this time? Is it Monster or a meteorite? Can the earth be better?"
Yukino quickly picked up the remote control and turned up the TV volume.
On the screen, the midday news that was originally broadcast was cut off urgently, and the screen flashed to a high-definition space monitoring screen jointly released by Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency and International Space Station.
["Emergency global news! Just ten minutes ago, International Space Station's deep space telescope captured an extremely large unknown flying object near low-Earth orbit!"]
["This object is not a meteorite, nor does it have any vital signs or heat source reaction! Reconstruction based on the preliminary scan of the optical radar... Oh my God! Dear viewers, this is simply a miracle in the history of human astronomy!"]
On the TV, the news anchor's voice was so excited that he could not speak coherently, and even contained trembling that could not be concealed.
As the picture continued to zoom in, a video appeared on the TV screen that was somewhat blurry, but still very visually impactful against the background of the deep universe.
In the vast sea of stars, a [humanoid stone statue] that is more than fifty meters high and as perfect as an ancient Greek god is slowly floating down towards the earth from the cold and deep depths of the universe in an irregular floating posture!
The stone statue's arms were slightly folded, as if it had fallen into an extremely long sleep. Although the whole body showed a gray-white stone texture, the outline of the rhombus crystal on the forehead and the timer on the chest were clearly visible!
See this scene.
The three beautiful girls in the activity room gasped in an instant.
"Huge... huge stone statue?!" Eriri opened his mouth wide, "And this shape... could it be the new Light Giant?!"
"In the vacuum of Absolute Zero's universe, there is actually this kind of humanoid substance that does not have any propulsion device but can cross galaxies..." Ai Haibara stared at the screen, her scientific brain that had just been half reshaped, feeling the dull pain again.
And on the other side.
Lin Xiao stood in front of the TV, looking at the familiar outline of the stone statue on the screen.
The classic dart-shaped head design, the extremely iconic stripes on the chest...
His eyes grew wider and wider, and the corners of his mouth twitched violently.
"Fuck...Dyna?"
