Chapter 28: Codename: THE ONE

Fang Xinhan was unsure when he would enter the N Project Universe, but he was certain it would be while Next was still around. Due to this uncertainty, Fang Xinhan had to be prepared.

First, he had to save Matsunaga Yoichiro's wife, hoping that Matsunaga would remember their past friendship and treat Jun Ge better. Second, he had to take advantage of the interval during THE ONE's evolution to find Yuzawa Yu, the prophet in the Prometheus Project, and through him, contact the Visitors. At the same time, he also had to be wary of Yamaoka I.

After finalizing his plan, Fang Xinhan took out the transformation desk, and he was basically ready.

Fang Xinhan held the plot quest item in his hand, and the instance system prompted that he could enter the instance.

"Noah, you old geezer, I'm coming!"

The plot quest item in Fang Xinhan's hand circled in front of him like a Totem of Undying activating its effect, then a white light flashed, and Fang Xinhan disappeared from this world.

〈World connection establishing...〉

〈Establishment complete〉

〈Quest: Eliminate the Ancestral Anomalous Beast, THE ONE〉

〈Reward: EXP x1200, Gold x1500, Random Instance World Item x1〉

〈Note: The system will evaluate the player based on the different impacts they have in this world.〉

In the N Project Universe, a white light flashed over the Pacific Ocean, and Fang Xinhan appeared, stunned, above the Pacific Ocean.

Then Fang Xinhan fell into the water. Fang Xinhan didn't panic; he had put all his backup items into the transformation desk before coming. Fang Xinhan didn't take long to find a boat.

Fang Xinhan immediately swam towards the surface, put down the boat, and then sat in it.

"Alright, alright, if you want me dead, just say so, do you have to send me into the sea?"

Fang Xinhan complained.

Then, as if sensing something, Fang Xinhan looked up at the sky. Through the power of the next emblem, he saw a blue orb flying towards him through the clouds.

"Damn it, it's coming straight for me!" Seeing this, Fang Xinhan was about to dodge, but he suddenly remembered that in the original plot, it seemed to have hit a deep-sea submersible and possessed Mizuhara Sara's fiancé, Aridaka Takefumi.

"If I save Aridaka Takefumi, will it cause a chain reaction?" Fang Xinhan thought this, but the blue orb was already very close, so Fang Xinhan could only confront it directly.

The next emblem appeared on Fang Xinhan's right arm, then lines began to appear on Fang Xinhan's body, finally emitting a dazzling light. Wrapped in these lights, Fang Xinhan transformed into a 10-meter-tall giant and fell into the water.

The blue orb flying towards Fang Xinhan in the air was startled for a moment, then reacted and shifted its direction.

"Trying to run? No way." Fang Xinhan swam towards the direction the blue orb was descending. Since Fang Xinhan hadn't evolved into his Youth Form yet, he couldn't fly and could only swim.

Just as the blue orb was about to reach the surface of the Pacific Ocean, Fang Xinhan arrived and shattered the blue orb, and both fell into the sea.

The blue orb instantly transformed into a 10-meter-tall giant monster, and thus the two giant creatures began to wrestle.

The two giant creatures fell, fighting, from the surface of the Pacific Ocean downwards. After several rounds of combat, the monster formed by the blue orb and the giant Fang Xinhan had become swam towards the deep sea. Fang Xinhan followed, and then a deep-sea submersible came into Fang Xinhan's view.

"Damn it, does it still have to follow the original plot?" The giant monster rapidly attacked the deep-sea submersible. Soon, the submersible was breached by the giant monster, and it possessed a human. However, rather than possession, it was more like slowly taking over his body.

Fang Xinhan looked closely and realized it was that unlucky guy, Aridaka Takefumi.

Fang Xinhan immediately showed a pained and awkward expression.

"I mean, does it really have to follow the plot?" Fang Xinhan had originally planned to save these people, but he was too slow and couldn't catch up.

"There are still two months until the Light of Noah merges with Maki Shunichi. I should use this time to contact the Visitors first." With that, Fang Xinhan left the area. The people inside the deep-sea submersible were beyond saving; they just needed someone to retrieve Aridaka Takefumi.

Fang Xinhan swam in one direction, then, far from the incident site, he canceled his transformation, then transferred to a small boat and paddled towards the Neon Island.

On the other side, near the yet-to-be-built Freedom Fortress, Yuzawa Yu, a white-clad member of the Earth Liberation Agency (TLT), a secret research organization established with UN power by the prophet faction who firmly believed in the Visitors' prophecy, suddenly opened his previously closed eyes.

"It's here, and something unexpected seems to have happened." If anyone had seen Yuzawa Yu's expression at that moment, they would have noticed a hint of solemnity on his face.

In the 'water tank' behind Yuzawa Yu, those jellyfish-like creatures were emitting light, as if trying to tell Yuzawa Yu something.

"The giant should have appeared three months later, but why now?" Yuzawa Yu began to prophesy again, and the result of this prophecy slightly startled him.

He prophesied that in two months, a red orb would merge with a human, and in three months, two identical giants would attack that monster.

"What exactly is going on? Who is the other giant... No, I can't see clearly." Yuzawa Yu tried to discern Fang Xinhan's appearance but couldn't.

At this moment, Fang Xinhan had already arrived in Neon by boat. He was an unregistered person in this world, with no information about him, so he had to figure out his own food and lodging.

After some effort, Fang Xinhan found a small clearing in a forest, then dug downwards to create a space.

"This place isn't far from Shinjuku. I'll try to tell Noah about this place and let Jun Ge live here later." Fang Xinhan began to tidy it up simply. The originally poor and crude small secret room, paved with quartz, lit with torches, and decorated with a few small ornaments, actually felt a bit cozy.

After the dwelling was renovated, Fang Xinhan also planted some crops and dug a small pond for future fishing.

"That's about it. Next, I need to figure out how to contact TLT personnel." Fang Xinhan stretched after doing all this, then relied on the next emblem's sensory ability to sense the Ancestral Anomalous Beast, which was now codenamed THE ONE.

Fang Xinhan sensed THE ONE's exact location, and indeed, it was consistent with the original plot, having been taken to the research center on Iwo Jima.

"As expected. So, I need to contact Mizuhara Sara first to further contact TLT, right?" Thinking this, Fang Xinhan began to fish. His bargaining chip (strength) was not enough right now, so he would fish first to see if he could catch anything good. As for the Ancestral Anomalous Beast, THE ONE? It couldn't stir up any trouble now and didn't need much worry. The main thing now was to avoid Zaki and make contact with the Visitors. If he was exposed prematurely, it would be difficult to handle.

(PS: The Visitors' technology is truly amazing. They created something that they themselves couldn't completely destroy even by detonating their own planet.)
