Chapter 868: Resentment from the Statue

With the order from Gu Chen, Beidou Xingsi and Nan Xizi changed into casual clothes, rushed into the mall happily, and started a large shopping spree.

In a short while, Hokuto Seiji's upper body was submerged in the gifts he bought, and his arms were also full of gift bags.

In order to lighten the burden on himself, Hokuto Seiji even secretly gave a gift to a child on the street who was crying and asking for a toy.

However, the gifts prepared were still a bit too few for the children in the orphanage.

So when passing by another shopping mall, Nan Xizi turned around and walked in without thinking, leaving behind this sentence: "Xingsi, wait for me."

"Xizi, haven't you bought enough yet?"

Hokuto Seiji poked his head out from behind the mountain of gifts with difficulty and said with a bitter expression.

At the very least, he should be allowed to stuff the gifts he has into the TAC Black Panther.

"What are you talking about? There are many poor children waiting for us."

As Nan Xizi spoke, her figure disappeared in the crowd of people in the mall.

Because Hokuto Seiji had too many things on him, he could only wait for Nan Xizi at the entrance of the mall.

Fortunately, Nan Xizi was not buying anything for herself at the moment. She soon came back with a beautifully wrapped gift and placed it on the pile of gifts in front of Beidou Xingsi, saying, "Okay, let's go."

"I wonder how those kids will react. Will they still remember me as the big brother who gave them the delicious bread?"

Beidou Xingsi picked up the gift and followed Nan Xizi, talking as he walked.

"Of course they will remember it. Besides, we will be Santa Claus then. The children will definitely be very happy."

Nan Xizi walked briskly in front, and after hearing what Beidou Xingsi said, she immediately spoke in an affirmative tone.

……

Hokuto Seiji and Minami Yuko are preparing for Christmas. On the other side, Hayata Susumu and others are also preparing for Christmas.

And this time, Hayata Susumu does not plan to celebrate with his family alone, but invites a group of good friends to join him, such as Annu and Hideki Go, who he had chatted with before.

Therefore, all the old comrades from the Science Special Search Team must be invited, but in this way, we cannot favor one over the other and have to call the members of the Ultra Guard and MAT Team as well.

The TAC team has no choice, as they have to ensure they are on duty even on Christmas, but Gu Chen can still fight for it.

So, Hayata Shin called Gu Chen's office and said, "Advisor, why don't you come over for Christmas and get together? Not only us, but I've also asked people to contact the Kote Team, the Ultra Guard Team, and the MAT Team. They're all your old friends and comrades, so it's definitely going to be lively."

On the other side, Gu Chen, who received a call from Hayata Jin, was a little surprised: "So many people? It seems that your house can't accommodate so many people."

Hayata Susumu: "So I'm thinking of renting a place outside to have some fun together. What do you think, Counselor?"

"I think..." Suddenly, Gu Chen had another idea: "How about the orphanage? You still have your previous team uniforms, right? We can put them on and go to the orphanage to express our condolences. While making the children happy, we can also let them know about your glorious deeds in the past."

Hayata Susumu: "Eh? An orphanage? It's not impossible, but...how about this, we get together at noon, and then go to the orphanage to accompany the children in the evening?"

Hayata Jin thought about it and although visiting the orphanage to express condolences was a good thing, Hayata Jin wanted people in their circle to get together to drink and chat, and exchange feelings.

"That's fine. I'll arrange the venue, and I'll leave the invitation of the party to you guys."

Gu Chen thought about it and nodded, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

He received a private call from Hayata Susumu during working hours. His thoughts were still not focused on work and all he was thinking about was work. That's when he suggested turning their private gathering into a public welfare condolence.

After hanging up the phone, Gu Chen couldn't help rubbing his forehead and said with a wry smile: "This is really... I'm too busy."

Having become famous among the top defense forces of various countries, he has gradually begun to appreciate some of the benefits, but along with it comes even busier work.

The large amount of work that required thinking led Gu Chen to say things that he shouldn't have said when he answered Zao Tianjin's call.

After he came to his senses, he smiled bitterly and looked at the pile of unfinished documents on the desk, then leaned back in his chair feeling tired.

Dealing with these documents didn't make him physically tired, but he was mentally exhausted. Gu Chen didn't feel any pleasure from holding great power at all. All he felt was the heavy burden on his shoulders.

After a short rest, Gu Chen went back to work. However, he did not forget to find a venue for the party. He called Shi Xinyu and asked him to make the arrangements.

……

While Gu Chen was busy with paperwork, the Yabo people had completed their disguise and appeared on the bustling streets of Tokyo.

"It didn't show up. It seems my guess was correct."

Walking in the crowded crowd, the Yabo people tightened their collars and adjusted the masks and sunglasses on their faces.

The weather in this season is very cold, so the Yabo people's dress is not surprising to outsiders, allowing him to blend into the crowd smoothly.

Looking at the heavy Christmas decorations on both sides of the street, observing the children who were brought by their adults and looked at them dressed as Santa Claus with eager eyes, the Yabo people began to consider whether to create a Santa Claus super beast to break the beautiful fantasies in the children's hearts.

After the incident with the underground man, the Yabo people discovered that when an individual dies at the hands of someone they love or admire, the darkness and resentment generated in their hearts is enormous.

So wouldn't he be able to gain a ton of energy by having children die at the hands of their favorite Santa Claus?

If the risk of being exposed by disguising themselves as Tiga and an Ultra Warrior was not too great, the Yabo people would have wanted to steal Tiga's identity and go on a killing spree on Earth.

"Huh?! Such a strong resentment, where does it come from?"

But at this moment, the Yabo people paused and sensed a thick resentment floating over from afar, entwining the Santa Claus models on both sides of the street.

This sudden discovery immediately aroused Yabo's interest, so he followed the direction of the resentment and gradually broke away from the crowd.

As the Yabo people walked further and further away, a dilapidated hut appeared in front of him.

In the hut was a statue that had not been worshipped for who knows how long, and the mask on its face had become somewhat tattered.

But this is not important. What is important is that the source of the resentment felt by the Yabo people comes from this statue.
