Chapter 7 Chapter Seven The Invasion Begins

On this day when the year begins, the location is a vast land owned by Sigma Corporation in a certain prefecture adjacent to the Kansai area.Sunset time at this place is seventeen two.The time of moonrise is 18:41. Anxious to wait for the moon to rise, Fuko wore a silver-white fox fur coat, folded her arms, and stared hard at the sky where the sun had completely set in front of the warehouse under the cold wind.No, it is right to look up with a smile on your face. "The time is almost up." Hirao's voice was also full of joy. "Are you referring to the inauguration ceremony of my commander-in-chief that will be held tomorrow? Or do you mean the big business that will be launched in the world over there?"

"Both." Yesterday, that is, last December 31st, Fuko's older brother, Masahiro Masahiro, the commander in chief of Sigma, passed away suddenly due to acute liver failure.Although the funeral of the former general manager of the company has not been completed, the position of the general manager cannot always be vacant, so this time at the New Year's Friendship Party held on New Year's Day every year, the death report of the former general manager and the new general manager's death report are scheduled to be held. Handsome—that is, Fuko's simple inauguration ceremony.This meeting will be attended by all members of Sigma, except local and overseas business travelers.Simply put, it was definitely a massive rally.

"In retrospect, the amount of time it took to get this globe again is simply too long." The globe spinning silently was placed beside Fuko on a platform made of two wooden boxes. "At that time, in New York, I was really shocked when I saw my grandfather and my brother using a globe to open the gate. However, my grandfather did not choose to go to the world over there, but chose to stay and dominate the world here .Because in that era, things worth dominating existed in this world, and pioneering spirits were everywhere. After that, when the world became worthless, my grandfather told me, 'Once your time comes, Go to the world over there and show your strength to your heart's content.' Although, he said the same thing to his brother."

Although Fuko learned the secret of the globe after Shinhiro, it is Fuko who is now on the road to implementation. "'Time' just came today. The fate that has evolved to this point...Although I don’t want to say that, but if it is not with my strength, it is really difficult to achieve it. It is absolutely impossible to rely on the strength of my brother. Don't you think? It's time to die, thank you, brother." Fengzi smiled. "Speaking of which, it's really rap to always use the world over there." In the past, Muramatsu and Heihe used to exchange jokes about the names of the world over there, such as "Sigma World", "Kurahashi Paradise", and even "Maple Paradise" after Fuko's name.Still, "the world over there" is indeed a rap title.

"Since it is a world opened by the gate of the globe, why not call it the 'World of the Globe'." "Yes, let's call it that from now on." "Globe World". Although it is direct, there is no more appropriate name than it, and it is Fuko's own name, Hirai should have no objection. Suddenly, a thought flashed through Ping Xi's mind, the world of the globe that went through the gate, could it be the world that exists on this rotating globe?Looking intently at the land-like place on the globe, could it be possible to see people moaning on it?However, he really has a feeling like looking at the earth from space, and that kind of thing should not exist.

Just a hypothetical idea.The celestial body called the earth that I currently exist in may just be a globe in a larger world.Just like Hirao is looking down on the globe now, could there be some kind of bigger existence just looking down on the earth where he exists?As if feeling the gaze from the distant sky, Hirao suddenly raised his head and looked up at the sky.However, there are not two giant eyes there!What Hirao felt was a feeling of relief and boredom. "Muramatsu, are you ready?" Fuko folded her arms and asked a man dressed in camouflage beside her. "Rocket launchers, recoilless guns, machine guns, all kinds of ammunition. All the necessary things are fully prepared, you don't have to worry about it."

The man's name is Muramatsu Tadae, he is Japanese, but in the past he was also a professional soldier of the American Navy attached to the Navy, and his current identity is the commander of the private army of the Kurahashi family who is in charge of Sigma.Although it has a masculine physique, it feels like it has a reptile-like temperament. "This time we only intend to lead the squadron to set off, right?" Fuko said. "The large-scale military force will be reserved until tomorrow night, which is the world over there. Since you have named it the Globe World, it will be four years after the Globe World."

"This mission is at best to establish a bridgehead to suppress the world over there. Sigh, even though that's the plan, maybe we can achieve all the goals." Muramatsu smiled coldly. "In the so-called Persian Gulf War at the end of the 20th century, the casualties of the Iraqi army were said to be 10,000 times that of the US military. Even in the same era, there was already such a huge gap between the army with the latest equipment and the army without the latest equipment. Not to mention medieval armies." "It's up to you to say what you like. Perhaps it is unknown if you can really completely conquer with that amount."

Fuko answered nonchalantly. "Miss Fengzi, the moon has risen. The door has opened." Hirai's words made Fuko look back at the globe. Bathed in the reddish moonlight, the globe casts a black shadow on the warehouse wall.However, the shadow was nearly rectangular, not the shape of a globe—a circle.And the length and width are so large that it is difficult to associate with a globe. "The door is open!" Even Fuko couldn't hide her excited tone.She ran forward, hesitated for a moment, and then stretched her hand into the gate.In the space that looked like a shadow reflected on the wall, Fuko's arm disappeared as if being sucked in.Unlike the icy air here, Fuko's hand felt a gust of warm wind.

"This is the world over there." Fengzi smiled triumphantly. "Muramatsu, let's go." "Yes, as ordered." After saluting with dramatic gestures and tone of voice, Muramatsu gave instructions to his subordinates. "Then, we shall set off at once." Under Muramatsu's instructions, the four-wheel-drive vehicle set off first.The four-wheel-drive vehicle crashed into the gate reflected in the huge warehouse wall, and just disappeared.Immediately afterwards, amidst the creaking of the tracks, the five combat armored vehicles that drove out from the opposite warehouse followed suit.Then, the combat helicopter that had just been dragged out of the warehouse slowly lifted off and slowly moved towards the gate.

"If the width of the gate is a little less, the main rotor may not be able to enter the gate." Muramatsu smiled at Fuko's loud comment. "That's more than enough width." In the next moment, the combat helicopters successfully passed through the gate with a distance of a few centimeters remaining, and three of them passed through one after another. "Sure enough, there is a set." Just as Fengzi admired, those mercenaries are all combat experts. Several armored personnel carriers and fuel tankers also advanced one by one.Just when there were only two combat armored vehicles and the command vehicle that Muramatsu was going to take, there was a suspicious sound in Muramatsu's ear, which was the sound of continuous pressing of the shutter. "Over there, light up over there!" According to Muramatsu's instructions, a shadow of a figure who was fleeing hurriedly flashed in the light of the projection lamp that shifted the direction.The sound of the engine starting came from the darkness, and then mixed with the sound of tires rubbing against the ground, it became farther and farther away. "I've been seen. Hurry up and catch up! Muramatsu, you have to hurry up. Hirai, immediately go and chase the escaped man back." The guards, who received Hirai's orders, quickly jumped into the four-wheel drive and began to chase the car of the fleeing man. The clouds flowed and looked like they were about to cover the moon.If Muramatsu, the commander, cannot enter the world over there before the gate is closed, it may hinder the entire plan a lot. Muramatsu said goodbye, saluted Fuko with a smile, and then boarded the armored vehicle heading towards the gate.Just as the armored vehicle that Muramatsu was riding in did not enter the gate, the moonlight began to be obscured by clouds, and the gate became increasingly faint. "quick!" Just as the combat armored vehicles at the back entered the gate halfway, the moon covered by black clouds completely darkened, and the gate disappeared. In an instant, three screams reached Fengzi's ears.However, that actually happened in an instant. The front half of the armored car is gone, and since the gates disappear halfway through the vehicle, the whole car is cut in half.The cross-section of the mechanism is exposed, and the rear half of a car is left in this side of the world, and the six men who ride in the car.The three people sitting in the back seat were safe and sound, no, one was panicked because of the scene in front of him, one was so wide-eyed that he couldn't even scream, and the remaining one was trembling in a daze.The front half of the bodies of the three people sitting in the front seat of the car disappeared.And, like a diagram of human anatomy, sitting there are three human bodies exposed in cross-section.After a moment of stillness, the section began to spray out red liquid, and the unsupported internal organs also fell out one after another.Even Fuko couldn't help covering her mouth with a handkerchief and looking away.Then, after two small coughs, Fuko ordered Hirai, who was about to faint, in an obviously displeased voice. "Clean up those things quickly!" Although trembling and trembling non-stop, Hirai managed to nod his head. Fuko turned back, sat in the prepared limousine, and left the scene full of engine oil and the smell of rust. The next morning, no, it should be two o'clock in the middle of the night, Fuko was called by a panicked phone call from Hirai. As Zhou Yilang's friend, Fukunaga, the president of "Lunch Square", is very worried about the safety of Zhou Yilang and his niece who were persecuted by Sigma. He was the man who gave Yi Yilang the bankbook and seal in the name of Duomeng as temporary funds when Yi Yilang fled to the hot spring area. "Can you help me secretly investigate Sigma's actions? If you find any strange movements, be sure to notify me immediately." Fukunaga proposes a commission to a man named Koide.The publishing house this man works for mainly publishes weekly magazines. Koide is a reporter with the ability to expose corruption cases, and he once went into danger in order to collect materials.Although dirty methods have been used to some extent, there is no doubt about the enthusiasm and sincerity of the interview itself.Besides, if that method is not used, it is impossible to expose the true colors of a group of people who are like creeping sludge in the filthy world.It was just a means used for a specific purpose, which Fukunaga could understand. "I saw an incredible thing." This Xiaode called in the middle of the night, and his tone was quite excited. "What did you see?" "It's the army, the army!" "army?" "Army, indeed. The men of Sigmar sent an armed force equivalent to a squadron of mechanized infantry into a hole that had suddenly opened." "...Calm down and tell me in detail. What's going on?" "I tell you, the moonlight made a hole in the wall..." It sounded unbelievable at first, but this man didn't seem like the type to talk about it.He shouldn't be on LSD or something.Besides, the word army worried him quite a bit. "I still have photos to prove it. Sigma's future new commander-in-chief is Fuko Kurahashi, right? When that woman gave some instructions in front of the army, I pressed the shutter of the camera hard." "Really?" "Yeah. Next, what should we do? Are you going to use this information to attack Sigma?" "No, I want you to do me a favor." Fukunaga and Koide called various newspapers, magazines, and other media-related companies that wanted information, and sent faxes and emails.Fukunaga stared wide-eyed at the photos taken at the Sigma warehouse site. Since the large-scale chemical terror incident encountered in 1995, people have realized that the era when completely unimaginable things may happen in the stable life before that has come, and these photos will bring Enough to shock everyone. What is a company trying to plan when it has assembled a force that is strong enough to go to war? Encouraged by this fact, interview camps from the news, publishing, and communication industries flocked to the Sigma headquarter regardless of the midnight, in order to seek the truth of the incident and the explanation of the incident. "what time is it now?" This was Fuko's first sentence to Hirai who panickedly conveyed the situation on the other end of the phone. "Huh? It's two and five in the morning." "The court meeting was originally scheduled to start at 8:30, right?" "yes……" "Bring it up to six." "Did you say six o'clock?" "That's right, contact all members immediately." "However, it's already late at night. Besides, it's too early for everyone to gather at six o'clock..." "That shouldn't be a big problem, right? Because I plan to deliver a speech that reverses the situation of the world on that occasion." "What world do you mean...?" "Muramatsu and the others are scheduled to come back after six o'clock. When they come back, let the interview camps go and see together." "Muramatsu and the others are coming back from Globe World?" "Yes. Although it is a little early, this may be the best time to announce Sigma's conquest of the globe world. While there is still moonlight, it might be a good time to send people who don't believe it to the world over there to experience it. Interesting. Let them live in that world for a few years, and they will believe it. However, the premise is that they can survive during that period.” Seeing is believing.Perhaps the best way to convince the reporters that using the gate to invade and rule another world, which is beyond the common sense of this world and unconvincing, is to let them witness it with their own eyes. For the crowd of journalists who swarmed here, it is indeed a Fuzi-style way of thinking to use intimidation and pressure instead of appeasement. Fuko should have thought about the doubts in Hirao's heart.The original plan should have been to wait for Sigma to conquer the Globe World, and then play it by ear, or gradually clarify the existence of the Globe World and the fact that it has been conquered.But having said that, now that the existence of mechanized infantry squadrons has been exposed, it is not known whether this is the best strategy instead of making up poor excuses.Even if it is considered a coup against the current government, it is too early to tell in the first place. "I see. I'll make arrangements according to your wishes." "Then I will trouble you." After saluting with the microphone, Hirai put it back to its original position, and then picked it up again in order to contact the supervisors. Muramatsu stood on a white dry land, on top of a hill.It was early morning, and the moon had just dipped beyond the horizon. The floating gate closes.Before that moment, only the front half of the armored vehicle slammed down, and then the gate was closed.The body of the person sitting inside was cut in half, turning into a wreck with only the front half remaining. "It doesn't look like it's going to be useful." Muramatsu only said this, and then decided to discard the bodies of the three people. A mechanized infantry squadron composed of more than 130 people stood by behind Muramatsu. "Okay, where do I start playing?" Muramatsu looked around from the high hill, while licking his lips and looking for a suitable place to attack. In the beginning, there must be a lot of bloodshed, using fear to suppress the inhabitants of the other world.
