Chapter 695 Soldiers in the Moonlight

On this day, in a corner of the underground city construction area, people discovered a bronze plate identified as dating back to the first half of the fourth century. Through the remaining inscriptions on the back, they learned that it existed before the Kofun period and belonged to the legendary soldiers of the moonlit night.

TPC Integrated Base.

"The soldiers under the moonlight defeated all the enemies, leaving none alive," Kariya recited the legend recorded in the book.

"So, it means it's extremely strong, huh?" Midorikawa Mai exclaimed excitedly.

"Well, why are they so powerful? There must be a secret, a secret," Asuka laughed.

“Ah, according to legend, the soldiers of the moonlit night have a guardian spirit named Moshi,” Kariya nodded and said.

"Mo Zhi?"

“Moshi lives at the bottom of a beautiful spring called Moonlit Spring. On the eve of their departure for battle, all the soldiers would throw stones into the spring one by one,” Kariya recounted.

"Just stones? Do you think throwing stones will make Moshiro protect these soldiers?" Asuka asked in surprise.

Nakajima walked over and slapped Asuka on the head, saying, "Baka, what are you talking about? They're going to war tomorrow, and these stones belong to the soldiers... I guess they're filled with their hopes for victory."

"Moshi must have agreed to their request from under the spring," Mai Midorikawa imagined.

"How wonderful it would be to have such a guardian spirit," Koda remarked.

"Do you really think so?" Hibi's voice suddenly rang out, causing everyone to turn around and look.

Hibi stood up from his chair and said, "But after the soldiers of the Moonlit Night sealed this grateful guardian deity, Mozhi, beneath some frozen spring, they themselves suddenly disappeared. Hahaha."

"What?!" everyone exclaimed.

"The captain actually knows this?" Kariya asked in surprise.

“I understand a little.” Hibi laughed and said, “After the soldiers of the moonlit night sealed Mozhi under the frozen spring, they disappeared without a trace.”

"Why would you do such a thing to your own guardian deity?" Asuka questioned.

"Because Mozhi isn't a guardian deity at all, but a demon that feeds on human fear to gain power. The soldiers of the Moonlit Night infuse their deepest fears into stones and throw them into the Moonlit Spring for Mozhi to devour. Once Mozhi has consumed the soldiers' fears, the soldiers become fearless," Shen Yun explained as he entered the command room.

"Director! Could it be that the bronze disc has been deciphered?" Kariya asked hurriedly.

Kariya was quite interested in these ancient myths and legends.

"More or less." Shen Yun's expression was somewhat subtle. The characters engraved on the bronze plate were traditional Chinese characters, which did not require him to decipher at all. He understood them after just one glance.

"According to the deciphered contents, the bronze plate is the frozen spring water that seals Mozhi. Therefore, how to deal with this bronze plate has become a major problem."

"What do you think? Should we break the seal and destroy Mozhi, or just leave it as it is and let Mozhi remain sealed?" Shen Yun asked.

"Of course, we should eliminate Moshi!" Asuka replied without hesitation.

"To be on the safe side, let's just leave Moshi sealed away like this," Nakajima suggested, but he disagreed.

"That's not a good idea. Who knows how long that seal can last? It's better to destroy it sooner rather than later, to avoid causing trouble later," Koda retorted.

“If Moshi could be sealed by soldiers from the Kofun era, then his strength must not be that great. If we prepare in advance, eliminating Moshi should be easy.” Kariya thought for a moment and supported eliminating Moshi.

"What's Mai's opinion?" Nakajima asked quickly.

"Sorry, I'd also love to see what Mashi looks like," Midorikawa Mai said with an embarrassed smile.

"Then, the minority shall submit to the majority, and it shall be decided. According to the deciphered information, when Mozhi revives for the last time, he will appear as a giant monster, emerging from the Moonlit Spring. You shall immediately go to find the location of the Moonlit Spring and then evacuate the surrounding population," Shen Yun decided.

"understand!"

The Super Victory Team members immediately sprang into action.

Leaving the command center, Shen Yun went straight to the TPC Science Bureau, found Ayano Touko, and gestured:

"Dr. Ayano, we can begin."

"Yes!" Ayano Touko nodded and immediately used the laser pointer to cut the seal on the bronze disc.

In the blink of an eye, the seal that had been sealed for over a thousand years was cut open by the laser pointer, turning into a pile of rubble and revealing the mirror that had been sealed for many years and covered in dust.

Ayano Touko wiped the dust off the surface of the bronze mirror with a tissue and then aligned the mirror with the reflected moonlight.

A bright moon immediately appeared on the bronze mirror illuminated by the moonlight.

Upon seeing the moon reflected in the bronze mirror, Ayano Touko did not hesitate at all and immediately left the isolation room.

The moment the seal was broken, the dusty bronze mirror began to shake violently, then fell to the ground and shattered into several pieces.

Immediately afterwards, a thick black mist emerged from the shattered bronze mirror, and Mo Zhi's ferocious face appeared and disappeared in the black mist, looking quite terrifying.

"Protection Director!" Washizu, Zara, and the others, who were already dressed in Ultra Armor and guarding Shen Yun, immediately stepped forward and protected Shen Yun behind them.

"Don't rush." ​​Shen Yun waved his hand and immediately turned off the lights in the isolation room.

"Snapped!"

The lights in the isolation room were turned off, plunging the sealed isolation room into darkness.

The isolation chamber was constructed in a Faraday cage-like structure to prevent gasified or spirited monsters from escaping.

Without moonlight as an energy source, the newly revived Mozhi had no power to break through the isolation chamber and escape. He could only hide back in the shattered bronze mirror, waiting for an opportunity to escape.

The next day.

Super Victory Team Command Room.

"Captain, we know the location of Tsukiyo Izumi." Midorikawa Mai turned to Hibi and called out.

"Excellent! Dive into the spring immediately and begin the investigation," Hibi ordered upon hearing this.

"that……"

"What's wrong?" Hibi turned to look at Midorikawa Mai.

"Moonlit Spring has been filled in," Kariya said, looking down at the skyscrapers below.

“They’ve built some really tall buildings here,” Nakajima said.

"what?!"

"Captain, what should we do? Should we continue to evacuate the people?" Asuka asked.

“Of course we must continue! Don’t forget, didn’t the soldiers of the Moonlit Night also call that bronze mirror ‘Frozen Spring’? The so-called spring is just something that can reflect one’s image. It doesn’t matter if it’s not real spring water,” Hibi analyzed.

"understand!"

The members of Super GUTS responded in unison and immediately began the evacuation. (End of Chapter)
