Chapter 3 Anxiety of the Angry Team
This is the last year before the world enters the twenty-first century, peaceful and peaceful, and everyone is thrilling to welcome the arrival of the new millennium.
But it was a bit embarrassing for Xiaofeng. Just a few months ago, she was in the 23rd century. In a blink of an eye, she came to this era when humans had not yet entered space. The streets were full of traffic, and the cars that were passing by were burning gasoline that had already dried up in that era.
However, Xiaofeng quickly threw the confusion in his heart aside because the white-haired man standing in front of her at this time.
A black leather jacket, leather pants, and shiny leather shoes, a cross hanging hanging between his neck, looks like a bad boy, his name is k', a strong man who won three consecutive titles from 1999 to 2001 in the original world trajectory.
The reason why it is said to be the ‘original trajectory’ is because Xiaofeng realizes that this world seems to be subtlely different from what she knows.
"Yeyuefeng joined the 'female fighter team' during the 1998 King of Fighters Competition, defeated the 'master team' alone, and defeated the 'Kuanagi team' including Kyo Kusanagi, leading the 'female fighter team' to win the '98th Fighter Championship. You are naturally qualified to win the '99 KOF invitation letter."
While sending the invitation letter, the man talked quietly, but Xiaofeng didn't know what was said for a moment.
Defeated Kyo Kusanagi - When did she do such a great thing? If Kyo Kusanagi was a copyist, it would be fine, but from K's mouth Xiaofeng heard that in the past, she resisted the "Wushi". What she defeated was Kyo Kusanagi who was in the heyday of her mastery of her magical skills!
That is a magical skill! It contains the laws of space and the mystery of being able to kill gods.
After realizing it, Xiaofeng suddenly realized that it was another feat she left behind. The footprints that Gaia, as the goddess of earth, once left here!
Saving Gaia is the reason why Xiaofeng was commissioned by the Mercury Lamp and traveled through one world after another. But this is the first time she has truly had an intersection with Gaia, where she can clearly feel the existence of another herself.
K's who gave the invitation letter did not leave immediately. He stretched out his right hand that had been inserted into his pocket before, and there was a pair of strange red mechanical gloves installed there. His actions made Xiaofeng sigh and feel alert, because at this time what she felt from K's body was not friendly.
"Do you know who I am?"
"What?" Xiaofeng was stunned for a moment when asked.
"They said my power is derived from the 'Kuanagi Blood'. Since you have defeated Kyuki Kusanagi, you should know who am I?"
k'There is no memory of the past, and it is sad that no person has the past. After he woke up, his first memory was traveling to the laboratory of a researcher in a white coat. No one was willing to tell him his past. He had only one name - K', which means 'a person who surpassed Kusanagi'.
But who is Kusanagi? How to surpass someone he has never seen before, and why do he surpass him? He is like a puppet pulling a thread. What's even more sad is that he doesn't even know where the hand that controls him to hold the thin thread comes from.
Xiaofeng shook his head, "Sorry, I don't know who you are."
This is the truth. Xiaofeng only knows that K′ is an ordinary person who is forced to implant the blood of Kusanagi - perhaps it should be said to be 'one of them', he is the most perfect individual. But before that, Xiaofeng doesn't know who he was and what kind of name he has. The only thing that may know is the organization that cultivated him.
K's silent, he endured a certain anger. It was filled with fear and anxiety. How could an ordinary person feel the impatience of a person who doesn't even have a memory?
"Don't you want to say it? Or do I have to use my fist to ask something?"
Xiaofeng felt speechless. Do people in this world only know how to use fists to reason? But this feeling... is not annoying!
How long has it been since we fought with people? In the previous world, the battle advocated new weapons developed by science and technology. In contrast to scientific development, humans have almost zero discovery of their own strength, no martial arts, no magic, and only the most basic self-defense technique in the army. There has been development in space, and humans’ own martial arts do not have much use.
But here is different. This is a world that advocates exploring its own potential, with a group of fighters who break through human limits and even approach the realm of gods. It is undeniable that Xiao Feng, as a warrior, also has the longing for power.
If it was three months ago, Xiaofeng would definitely turn around and run away in the face of K's provocation, because she knew she was definitely not K's opponent. But now it is different, because Xiaofeng has broken through the state of the late stage of the innate stage and has the qualification to compete with any strong man! After breaking through the late stage of the innate stage, Xiaofeng has not really taken action, and K' is a good opponent.
If it was an ordinary girl, K' would never take any action to hurt him, but he knew that the champion of the last King of Fighters Competition was standing in front of him, and he had truly defeated Kyo Kusanagi! Then this is enough reason for him to take action!
Brazil, tropical rainforest
A military camp is stationed in this lush forest. This is not a country's army, but a mercenary. The government of any country will not have a good impression of mercenaries who are separated from the power of the state, but this team is different because their commander, Colonel Heaton, is a legendary officer with deep expectations in the military. This mercenary has made outstanding achievements in the country many times and has rescued political leaders in the hands of terrorists.
At this time, Colonel Heaton fell into deep thought as he looked at the letter in front of him until he interrupted him with a "report".
Entering the temporary military tent was Heaton's adopted daughter, Liana Hadillen, followed by Colonel Clark and Major Ralph from the same combat squad. These three were Heaton's most capable subordinates, and each of them was the top masters in the world.
Without any extra greetings, Heaton threw the letter in his hand on the table. At this point, everyone could see the cover of the letter clearly. The most eye-catching thing was naturally the big words "KOF99". Lianna still had a expressionless face, but Ralph and Clark exclaimed one after another.
They are not unfamiliar with KOF. Since the beginning of 1994, the "Rich Team" of each competition has been a participant. Unlike other contestants, the purpose of the members of the team is not to be the title of "King of Fighters", but to expose the attempts of the organizers of the ulterior motives behind each competition.
Now that Nurga has been killed, the gods of the heavenly kingdom have left this world one after another, the dispute should come to an end, but I didn’t expect that this year’s KOF will be held as scheduled. Who is the organizer of this time and what purpose does it have?
In last year's competition, the Demon King was killed in rage, but he was not the real mastermind. There were others hiding deeper in the shadows. Heaton had a premonition that the organizer of this King of Fighters Competition was never simple. Everything seemed to be at the time of unveiling. No matter who it is or what kind of intentions it had, as long as the other party was a malicious guy, Heaton had the determination and confidence to eliminate it.
"Col. Do we need to participate in the competition?"
Heaton nodded, "But the rules of this competition are different from those in the past, and the contestants need four."
"So..." Ralph said excitedly, "Col. Are you participating with us?"
Not only Ralph, but even Lianna's eyes lit up, who had never spoken. Unexpectedly, Heaton shook his head.
"I have arranged another member, and you will see him soon. Also, please pay attention to this person..." Ignoring his subordinates' disappointment. Since losing in the last competition, Heaton found that he no longer had too much fighting spirit. It was time to let go. He believed that these few of his subordinates were real strong men. He turned around and turned on the computer. The screen showed a photo taken by a camera from somewhere.
It was an ordinary street, and the pedestrians around should be in Asia. But without Heaton's detailed explanation, they all knew who the Colonel wanted them to see. It was too obvious that it was out of place with the pedestrians around him, and it was a little girl with long silver hair.
"Why is it her!"
There is no reason to be unfamiliar with it, because just a year ago, this little girl made the fighters at the peak of the world truly understand what "strong" is! It was truly invincible. Even Kusanagi Kyoto, the strongest fist that won the King of Fighters many times, was defeated by her without any counterattack. She is the master of the gods! The real master of the gods in the heavens who made the whole world fear it!
However, after the King of Fighters Competition a year ago, the gods of the heavens disappeared in front of the world. After verifying from the three artifact families, it also confirmed that the aura of the gods disappeared from this world and they went to the other end of time and space.
But why, ‘she’ appeared again!?
"Is that really 'her'?" Ralph said with some uncertainty, "Maybe we should ask the Three Artifact Family?"
Heaton nodded, "I have asked the head of the Kagura family. Her answer was that she did not notice the breath of the gods, but..."
Ralph knew what the Colonel was hesitating about. Anyone who witnessed her attack a year ago would never forget that powerful force far exceeds their understanding level. The creepy mighty force.
Why did she appear there and what purpose? These are all unknowns, and Ralph also knew that this was what the colonel wanted them to find out. This was really a difficult task - Ralph smiled bitterly.
【End of this chapter】
As you all know, this volume is the King of Fighters volume that follows "The Congman Gaia". Because it is long, in case readers forget the past storyline, they will give a simple summary of the past content.
Previous summary: At the end of 1997, Xiaofeng (Gaia) came to the King of Fighters World, and then joined the 'female fighter team' in the 1998 KPF (Xiaofeng, Fujibuki, King)
At the same time, ZARO, the senior leader of the Yinnan organization, resurrected Nujia with cell cloning and tried to seize the genes of the Kusanagi family. Because of the arrival of Kosuke, Kyo Kusanagi did not fight hard with Orochi, so he was not captured by the Yinnan organization. The Yinnan organization did not dare to attack Kyo Kusanagi, who had understood the magical skill "unstrange". Instead, ZERO and Nujia jointly captured Aoji Kusanagi (so the blood of Kusanagi obtained by K' here comes from Aoji), and controlled Aoji.
In the semi-finals, Kobayashi defeated Kusanagi and the "Female Fighter Team" advanced to the finals. The members of the finals' opponents, Yagami, Kusanagi Aoji (controlled), were Yagami, because Yagami violated the rules and the special Fighter Team was awarded the loss, and the female Fighter Team won the championship.
In the final battle, Kyo Kusanagi defeated Aoshi, which restored his mind. The angry Aoshi Kusanagi exploded and defeated Aoshi Kusanagi in order to cleanse the shame.
At the end, the severely injured and dying Ao Jia encountered the Mercury Lamp and made a wish to "no matter what price you pay, you want to gain strength." And the price, everyone has seen it in the previous chapter.
Chapter completed!
