The Tokusatsu Era: Starting with Orphnoch

Chapter 69 Resurrection from the dead? !

Harbin, within the Special Affairs Bureau base.

Inside the spacious and brightly lit training ground of the Operations Department, sunlight streamed in through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a golden glow.

Su Qian and Zheng Zhongshan were having a lively conversation about the combat experience they had gained in the battle against Orphnoch.

Meanwhile, the two squads of Leo cavalry were busy in a tense but orderly manner. Dressed in uniform black uniforms and wielding wooden longswords, they constantly practiced various complex battle formations, striving to maximize their coordination.

At this moment, Su Qian and Zheng Zhongshan were having a great time talking, and the topic gradually shifted to the techniques of using weapons.

The two got along very well as they talked, and Su Qian felt a strong urge to spar with Zheng Zhongshan on the spot.

Just as he suggested sparring with Zheng Zhongshan, a figure suddenly entered their field of vision.

A research technician dressed in a white lab coat hurriedly entered the training ground and walked quickly towards Su Qian's location.

Upon approaching, the technician stopped, bowed slightly to Su Qian, and said urgently, "Captain Su, Dr. Hong asked me to inform you that he is waiting for you in the lab!"

Upon hearing this news, Su Qian's excited expression instantly froze, replaced by a hint of doubt and frustration.

He frowned and pressed, "Ah! Did Dr. Hong say why he wanted to see me?"

The technician shook his head and continued, "Dr. Hong didn't tell me anything, he just told me to get you there as soon as possible. Judging from his expression, it seems like this is very important."

Seeing this, Zheng Zhongshan quickly reached out and patted Su Qian on the shoulder, comforting him, "Alright, Su Qian, there will be plenty of opportunities to spar in the future."

"Since Dr. Hong is in such a hurry to see you, he must have something important to deal with. You should go and take a look first, so as not to delay Dr. Hong's time."

Su Qian nodded helplessly. Although he was still somewhat unwilling, he understood the importance and urgency of the matter.

He turned to Zheng Zhongshan and said, "Alright, then I'll go see Dr. Hong first and see what's going on."

"Once I've sorted things out here, I'll definitely come back and continue our sparring. You'll have to wait for me!"

After saying that, he and the technician turned and left the training ground, leaving Zheng Zhongshan and the Leo cavalry to continue their intense training.

……

Harbin, Special Affairs Bureau, Research Department.

A research technician dressed in a white lab coat hurriedly led Su Qian to the laboratory door.

He then stopped and turned to Su Qian, saying, "Captain Su, I'll see you off here. I have other urgent research tasks to handle, so I really can't come in with you."

"Dr. Hong is waiting for you inside. Please go in by yourself." After saying this, the research technician turned and left in a hurry.

Su Qian nodded slightly, then reached out and gently pushed open the laboratory door, the hinges making a slight scraping sound.

When Su Qian stepped into the laboratory, the first thing he saw was Hong Tao's back.

At this moment, Hong Tao was standing intently in front of a huge high-definition display screen, watching a video playing on it.

He didn't even glance at Su Qian, who had just entered, and said without turning his head, "You're here! Find a place to sit down and wait a while. I'll be right there after I finish watching this video."

Hearing Hong Tao's words, Su Qian responded and turned to walk towards a set of comfortable sofas next to him.

He then sat leisurely on the sofa, his gaze sweeping over the various instruments and equipment neatly arranged around him.

Immediately afterwards, he picked up the teapot on the coffee table and skillfully brewed himself a steaming cup of fragrant tea. He took a small sip and savored the warmth and aroma of the tea.

Time passed slowly, and before long, Hong Tao finally finished watching the video.

He then walked towards Su Qian with steady and powerful steps.

Before he could even sit down, Hong Tao reached out and snatched the cup of tea that Su Qian had just brewed and placed on the table, saying with a helpless expression, "I called you here to discuss serious matters, not for you to leisurely enjoy tea!"

Immediately afterwards, Hong Tao sat down on the sofa opposite Su Qian, staring intently at Su Qian with an unusually serious expression, and asked, "Can you be 100% sure that you've completely eliminated that crocodile Orphnoch you encountered last time?"

"They were definitely wiped out completely! I personally took action and smashed him into a pile of sand!"

"Besides, the Faiz team was right there watching!" Su Qian replied with a puzzled expression.

"What? You called me here in such a hurry just to confirm this matter with me?" Su Qian stared at the other person with wide eyes and a face full of suspicion.

Upon hearing this, Hong Tao did not immediately respond to Su Qian's question.

He lowered his head slightly, rubbed his chin repeatedly with his right hand, and frowned, as if he was racking his brains to think about some extremely complicated problem.

For a moment, the laboratory fell silent.

A moment later, Su Qian frowned and asked, "What happened? Why are you suddenly not answering?"

Under Su Qian's persistent questioning, Hong Tao slowly said, "Just an hour ago, the Leo Cavalry Squad from Qi City shared some brand-new intelligence with us."

He paused, took a deep breath, and continued, "Two Orphnochs caused quite a ruckus in Qi City."

"Afterwards, he arrogantly left behind the statement 'Let faiz wait to die in three days' and then disappeared."

"Based on the analysis of the on-site video transmitted from Qiqihar, one of the Orphnochs looks extremely similar to the Orphnoch you killed before."

After careful comparison by the research department, it can be confirmed that it is the same guy! Hong Tao looked at Su Qian with a solemn expression.

Upon hearing this, Su Qian instinctively blurted out, "Impossible! I clearly turned him into sand completely, how could he possibly reappear? There must be some mistake!"

However, Hong Tao did not rush to refute Su Qian's words. Instead, he silently turned around, picked up a tablet computer from the table next to him, opened a surveillance video, and started playing it.

Seeing this, Su Qian turned his head and stared intently at the computer screen.

Sure enough, Su Qian's familiar figure appeared clearly in the picture—the crocodile Orphino.

Although the shield claws on his hands were gone, his overall appearance and the aura he exuded were almost identical.

"What exactly is going on?" Su Qian stared at the crocodile Orphnoch in the picture and fell into deep thought.

"Perhaps there are other crocodile orphinos, or..."
