Chapter 1933 Confronting the Beast (1)

Gu Chen: "Don't worry, I have a plan."

Gu Chen had naturally considered the questions raised by Tetsuo Shinjo.

It would be even better if he could find Gakuma using only the life detector in his hand, since his method still had a slight chance of angering Gakuma.

The original plot did not explain how much time was between the first and second episodes, and Gu Chen only knew that the entire plot took three years from beginning to end.

During these three years, the appearances of monsters and aliens were not evenly spaced out.

Sometimes these events occur very frequently, perhaps two or three times a week, while other times they may not occur for two or three months.

Therefore, when Gakuma would wake up was a problem for Gu Chen, since Gu Chen couldn't let TPC keep an eye on the quarry until Gakuma woke up.

All the businesses in the quarry alone would not allow TPC to do this.

In fact, it took Sawai Soichiro a lot of persuasion just to get the quarry companies to temporarily suspend operations for a period of time, and the bosses would be unhappy if it went on for too long.

By then, neither TPC nor Sawai Soichiro could stop the quarry from starting operations.

In this way, when Gakuma wakes up, the quarry workers who are currently working will be in trouble.

Therefore, taking this into consideration, Gu Chen prepared alternative plans.

That is to leak a trace of a monster's aura through monster cards to stimulate Gakuma, thereby waking them up from their slumber.

Although jakuma are docile by nature, they still possess aggression in protecting their food and home.

Therefore, stimulation from other monsters will definitely wake them up, but doing so will likely anger Gakuma, leading to an attack from them.

After all, the identity of an Earth envoy is unlikely to be very useful on this Earth, and Gu Chen is not confident that he can use his identity as an Earth envoy to appease the two awakened Gakuma.

Seeing Gu Chen's confident demeanor, Tetsuo Shinjo and Daigo Madoka temporarily set aside their doubts and focused their attention on the life detector in their hands.

Unsurprisingly, they did not find Gakuma even after the three of them reached the deepest part of the mine.

However, this does not mean that their exploration has ended, because they have only explored the main tunnel and there are still some side passages that they have not discovered.

Gu Chen and his two companions did not linger at the end of the main passage. They quickly turned back and entered a side path according to the map.

This time, a surprise awaited.

Not long after they left, the life detectors in the hands of the three of them almost simultaneously sounded an alarm indicating abnormal life fluctuations.

The three of them immediately looked up and saw that the wall at the end of the tunnel seemed to be different from the surrounding walls.

The next second, an eye that almost filled the entire cave suddenly opened from the dim cave, and the huge eyeball focused directly on Gu Chen and the other two.

Tetsuo Shinjo and Daigo Madoka were startled by the sudden opening of the eyes, and involuntarily took a big step back and assumed a defensive posture.

Meanwhile, in the temporary command center on the ground, Sawai Soichiro and others also detected abnormal energy reactions on the monitoring instruments.

Munakata Seiichi immediately pressed the communication button on his headset and said, "Advisor, Daigo, Shinjo, we've detected an abnormal energy reaction here. Have you found anything on your end?"

Gu Chen's voice immediately rang out: "We have already discovered Gakuma, and likewise, it has discovered me."

Upon hearing this, the people in the temporary command center immediately became nervous for Gu Chen and the other two.

Gu Chen's voice continued: "But don't worry, Gakuma's emotions are relatively stable, and there is no malice in its eyes when it looks at us. I'm going to communicate with it next. How many stones that are not produced on Kurara Island have been transported over?"

Zongfang Chengyi: "Nearly 10 tons of various stones have been delivered so far, and more stones are on their way."

Gu Chen: "Okay, received."

Just as Gu Chen was talking to Zong Fangcheng, Gakuma seemed to have lost interest in Gu Chen and the others.

It shifted its gaze away from Gu Chen and the other two, and swayed its body slightly, trying not to make a loud noise, as it prepared to leave its current location.

Although Gakuma woke up from his slumber to find that the stones he had stored at home before he fell asleep were almost gone, and that three uninvited guests, including Gu Chen, had arrived, Gakuma did not attack the three of them.

After all, as a creature once revered as a divine beast, Gakuma is reasonable. Without concrete evidence that Gu Chen and his group stole the stones from its home, Gakuma will not attack them.

Seeing that Gakuma was about to leave, Gu Chen immediately called out, "Gakuma, please wait a moment."

Upon hearing Gu Chen's voice, Gakuma actually stopped and turned its gaze back to Gu Chen, seemingly wanting to hear what Gu Chen had to say to it.

Gu Chen was pleasantly surprised by Gakuma's reaction.

In the original story, when Jakuma woke up, he saw quarry workers digging up his rocks, which immediately angered him.

Furthermore, given TPC's lack of understanding of monsters in the original storyline, it was even less likely that they could communicate with Gakuma calmly, leading to a fierce conflict that erupted the moment they made contact.

Ultimately, Gakuma A died under the Texas Beam of the GUTS team, while Gakuma β was destroyed after a fierce battle with Tiga.

However, judging from the current situation, Gakuma has shown extremely high intelligence and is a monster capable of communicating with humans.

"We know you've just woken up from a deep sleep, so we've prepared breakfast for you on the ground. If you don't mind, take a look and see if it suits your taste?"

Immediately, Gu Chen extended a direct invitation to Gakuma.

Upon hearing Gu Chen's words, Gakuma stared at Gu Chen intently, then let out a soft, muffled sound.

If it were someone else, they might not understand what Gakuma was trying to say, but Gu Chen, who had dealt with monsters many times, could roughly guess what Gakuma was trying to say even though he couldn't use telepathy now.

It was reminding Gu Chen and the other two to step back a little, so as not to hurt them with its next move.

Gu Chen immediately turned around, grabbed Madoka Daigo and Shinjo Tetsuo, and headed towards the main cave passage. At the same time, he said, "Quick, Gakuma has accepted my invitation and is preparing to go to the surface."

"Commander, you guys need to be prepared too. Just make sure you don't provoke Gakuma."
