Getting back to the main point, after watching the play, it was almost 11 PM on this planet. Oh right, there's something I forgot to mention: this planet doesn't use a 24-hour system, but a 27-hour system, which is three hours longer than Earth's. In other words, it takes four hours for the day to truly end.
"Um... sir, I'd like to ask if you have any nightclubs or bars around here."
Because he didn't want to sleep, Hoshino Gokawa planned to find a place like a bar to pass the time, and then go and explore the remaining places he hadn't been to in the morning.
"No problem, sir. There's a bar called Scattered Rain about 100 meters to the left of here. It's quite famous in this area."
The ticket seller was naturally happy to answer the questions of guests coming out of the theater, as it was part of her job.
"Oh, thank you."
Hoshino Gokawa habitually thanked him for his answer, as it was a matter of his upbringing and his manners.
Although Hoshino Gokawa is now so strong that he can disregard people, he is still willing to show some respect to creatures that do not harbor ill will towards him, due to his self-restraint.
"You're welcome, guest. Please be careful."
Not long after leaving the theater, Hoshino Gokawa arrived at a bar called "Scattered Rain," which looked no different from those on Earth. It was unclear whether this was the bar owner's aesthetic or if the local architectural style was like this.
"Beep! Passed!"
As Hoshino Satoru entered through the door, he was immediately exposed to a light invisible to ordinary people the moment he stepped inside. Then, a synthesized electronic voice announced that he had passed the age check.
(Looks like they can't tell my age, but that makes sense, if they could, this thing would have exploded long ago.)
While thinking this to himself, Hoshino Gokawa took a few steps to the bar and sat down, then began to look at the various kinds of liquor displayed behind the bartender.
Although Hoshino Gokawa doesn't actually like drinking, he'd have a drink if he felt like it, since it's alien alcohol and might be different from Earth's.
"What would you like to drink, sir?!"
After handing a drink to a rather overweight alien next to him, the bartender turned his attention to Hoshino Gokawa. However, upon seeing the man, the bartender seemed to be startled, and his tone became increasingly loud.
"Huh? You recognized me. It's okay if you do, just don't spread it around."
Hoshino Gokawa was naturally aware of the change in his tone, so he gave him a thumbs-up to signal him not to make a fuss.
"Yes!"
Although the bartender didn't understand what Hoshino Gokawa's sign language meant, it didn't mean he couldn't understand what the other person was saying. Therefore, he wouldn't take it upon himself to reveal Hoshino Gokawa's identity.
"Alright, don't be nervous. I'm not the kind of guy who likes to burn, kill, and loot. Can you recommend some wine?"
Knowing that he was putting a lot of pressure on the other person, Hoshino Gokawa could only try to comfort him with words. Of course, he could also put a sedative in the other person's body, but Hoshino Gokawa felt that it was unnecessary.
"Okay, sir..."
The bartender, having gradually regained control of his emotions, took a breath and then recommended the bar's drinks to Hoshino Gokawa.
"Hmm... give me a drink of both, I'll try them."
Because he was too lazy to make a choice, Hoshino Gokawa asked the other person to give him one of each of the recommended drinks.
"Yes, sir!"
The bartender naturally dared not disobey Hoshino Gosakawa's orders. As for why he was so sure that the other party was genuine...
To be honest, he didn't really know either, but he had a feeling that Hoshino Gokawa was not some kind of technological disguise.
To be more precise, aliens wouldn't dare to do such a disguise, because they would be too powerful and might know you were disguising yourself the moment you did.
This is not a joke; it's a real phenomenon. In the past, some foolish aliens tried to impersonate one of the universe's overlords, only to be detected and killed by the actual ruler. So now, virtually no alien dares to impersonate these important figures, because the difference in their abilities is simply not on the same level.
Getting back to the main point, after the bartender served the drinks, Hoshino Satoru started to drink.
It would have been better if he hadn't drunk it, because once he did, Hoshino Gosaka felt that the drinks were like...
(Is this a beverage?)
Hoshino Satoru thought to himself as he finished a glass of red wine. Despite the presence of alcohol, the taste seemed more like iced tea from Earth.
Then, for this reason, Hoshino Gokawa couldn't help but curiously pick up another glass of wine and taste it.
(Hmm... this one seems much more normal.)
Chapter 429 Nanxiong Assassin
"The United States has entered a state of high alert! Rumors have circulated that an alien species capable of freely replicating human bodies has been discovered in their country!"
"Notice! From now on, everyone must go to the designated location for testing within three days! Failure to be tested will result in forced arrest! Resistance will be treated as terrorism!"
"Notice: Effective immediately, all Americans will be denied entry!"
The failure of the US military led to the widespread dissemination of information about clones, which made people in other countries fearful, knowing that this thing is not much weaker than the so-called plague!
It can replace an entire person without anyone noticing! Isn't that terrifying?
This has caused widespread panic around the world. As for testing methods, they are currently quite inadequate and may not be able to detect all cases. Therefore, some countries have implemented even stricter policies, such as banning travel between cities.
In other words, they banned all forms of movement and tried every means to screen out clones that might sneak in. However, this only made things worse, as some villains in certain areas ran into trouble.
For example ------------ Wakayama City, Hitoshima Island
"It looks like we need to play it safe for now and avoid being detected, otherwise the plan won't be able to proceed."
At this very moment, in a secluded laboratory, a four-armed, four-eyed, inhuman monster is speaking to an elderly man in a white coat.
“I understand. We might even have to conduct our own investigation. If this thing gets in and learns about our plans, it could put us in a bad position.”
Although they are both clones in terms of attributes, they would rather the other disappear completely if they could, since the principle of like repels like is basically universal.
Moreover, this place is essentially dominated by human thought, but it's different over there—a group of alien creatures, who knows what they're up to?!
As for the alliance...
That would be even funnier; who knows if they'll take the opportunity to replace some of their own people in the end?
In short, their horoscopes are incompatible, so don't even think about them cooperating. It will basically turn into a situation where you replace my people and I replace yours, and in the end, even they themselves might not be able to tell the difference.
Similar situations are occurring in other regions, and some individuals with ulterior motives have suspended their operations to avoid being dragged into these alien creatures.
However, since it's such a big deal, Kusuo Saiki should have taken action, but he hasn't yet. What happened to him?
Meanwhile, in the countryside where Kusuo Saiki's grandfather lived...
"what have you done?"
Standing in a sealed metal room, Kusuo Saiki is looking at his older brother with a look of astonishment, because he suddenly realizes that he can't use his superpowers.
"Are you wondering why you can't use your abilities? That's because I've suppressed the activity of your body with this gas, which simply puts your body to sleep."
"Because according to my research, all your superpowers originate from your physical body. If I make your body feel drowsy or even asleep, then activating your superpowers will become extremely difficult. A superpower that used to take 0.01 seconds to use now requires 13 minutes and 5 seconds. In other words, I now have a full 13 minutes and 5 seconds to defeat you."
In a sense, Kusuke Saiki is really obsessed with beating his younger brother, and he actually managed to create such a powerful weapon that can delay Kusuo Saiki's ability to use his superpowers by thirteen minutes and five seconds.
As for his own brother's research capabilities, Kusuo Saiki had to admire him. He was amazed that he could create such a powerful weapon that could target him all by himself.
But has the other party forgotten that even if they can't use all their superpowers, they still have a strong physical body?
"Come out, you Nanxiong Killer! Defeat him!"
Immediately afterward, amidst Kusuke Saiki's cheers, a figure slowly emerged from behind him—a robot almost identical to himself except for a lightning bolt scar on its forehead.
"The Kusuo Assassin has been activated, and the target is Saiki Kusuo."
boom!
The moment Kusuo the Assassin finished speaking, he charged straight at Kusuo Saiki, his speed so fast that even his original form was astonished.
"So fast! No?! I've slowed down!"
However, Kusuo Saiki quickly realized that it wasn't that his opponent was too fast, but rather that his own reaction time had slowed down.
call!
Then, at that moment, Kusuo the assassin's straight punch came straight at Kusuo Saiki's cheek.
However, if you think that this is enough to defeat Saiki Kusuo, you are simply overthinking it. Since he was able to fight Izayoi Sakamaki and Hoshino Gokawa for so long, it naturally shows that Saiki Kusuo's skills are not bad either. In other words, his Perfect World level is not bad.
As for what the complete realm is, everyone basically understands, so I won't go into details.
So in the next instant--------------------------
Bah!
When Saiki Kusuo raised his hand and threw a punch, the result was that the assassin Kusuo was knocked back by a single punch.
The assassin, Nanxiong, who had been knocked back by the punch, did not retaliate. Instead, he analyzed how his opponent had managed to do it.
(Was the direction of the force changed in an instant...? This must be what they call using someone else's force against them.)
While Kusuo was analyzing the situation, Kusuke Saiki had already understood the principle behind his younger brother's use of force based on his own knowledge. However, while this principle was easy to explain, it was much more difficult to apply. Fortunately, Kusuke Saiki had already taken precautions against this.
(It seems that most of the force I unleashed was absorbed by that metallic coating.)
At the same time, Kusuo Saiki immediately realized that there seemed to be something wrong with the material of the Kusuo Killer; in short, the damage it dealt did not achieve the expected effect.
Normally, he should have made a hole in himself, but the result was that the assassin was completely unharmed.
"Analysis complete. Change tactics."
While Kusuke Saiki and Kusuo Saiki were assessing each other's situation, the assassin Kusuo had already finished his analysis and then charged forward again, almost exactly the same as before.
But the result is...
Chapter 430 Information
hum... hum...
"Ok?"
Hoshino Gokawa, who was just about to leave the bar to find a place to have breakfast, suddenly felt his phone vibrate after paying. He couldn't help but wonder who was calling him at this time.
As a result, Hoshino Gokawa saw that the caller ID showed his mother as the caller ID. It seemed like she had something very important to tell him, since they usually texted him unless it was something very important.
beep!
"Hello, Mom! What's up?"
Not knowing what had happened, Hoshino Gokawa immediately switched his right eye's perspective to his home to see what the emergency was.
then……
"Notice! From this moment forward, our country is on high alert. All citizens are strictly prohibited from leaving their homes without authorization. If you need to go out, you must have an officially certified permit!"
notify……"
Looking at the news breaking on the TV his mother was watching, Hoshino Gokawa was speechless for a moment. Why did so many messy things happen on Earth whenever he went out?
Where did Saiki Kusuo and Izayoi Sakamaki go?!
"Wuchuan, why don't you come back first? If things get like this, you might not have anywhere to go, and it's very dangerous outside right now."
Because she didn't know her son was on another planet, Hoshino Sakurako was still quite worried about his safety.
Although the other party had shown great strength, they didn't know exactly how capable that alien creature was, so to be on the safe side, they hoped that Hoshino Gokawa would return home safely and stay there for a while before making any further decisions.
"Um... never mind, I'll just deal with it directly."
Hoshino Satoru, now tired of the Russian nesting of lies, is honestly no longer planning to hide it from his parents.
how to say……
Suddenly I felt it wasn't necessary. Since the world is already in a period of rapid upheaval, it wouldn't be a big deal to shatter my parents' values a little more. They'd have to accept it sooner or later anyway.
Ultimately, the reason Hoshino Gokawa lied to his parents about this trip was because he was afraid they wouldn't agree to him traveling to another planet. But now, thinking about it carefully, Hoshino Gokawa felt that he didn't really need to lie.
In fact, it's enough for them to know their own power and how outrageous they are, because they will understand that almost nothing in the world can restrain their son, and the only thing that can restrain him is the affection between them.
After all, my parents are capable people, not short-sighted ones, so they should be able to understand me.
"What did you say?"
However, Hoshino Sakurako didn't quite understand her son's answer and felt a little confused.
"Mom, I've come to tell you something."
Hoshino Gokawa got up and left the bar, but when he stopped again, he was already back home.
"Wow! You scared me!"
However, his sudden appearance was, in a sense, a challenge to Hoshino Sakurako's heart. After all, how could she not be frightened by his unpredictable appearance? If Hoshino Gogawa were dressed in a more sinister way, he might even scare his mother into fainting. Of course, he would never do such a thing.
After taking a few deep breaths to calm herself down, Hoshino Sakurako asked her son what the other person wanted to tell her.
