Working as a consultant in the Ultra Universe

Chapter 2037 Mechanical Doll - Goblin

The next day, as agreed with the old woman the night before, Gu Chen led Sawai Soichiro and a large group of GUTS team members to visit.

Seeing the large group of people Gu Chen brought, the old woman beamed with joy and quickly invited everyone to take their seats.

Then, considering that the old lady's health was not suitable for overexertion, Gu Chenqi Se Lina and Iri Megumi took the initiative to step forward to help.

For a time, the old woman's house was quite lively.

Sawai Soichiro also met with Redell and had an enthusiastic discussion with him.

On this day, no one talked about serious matters; they only chatted about the customs and traditions of Standal and the differences between them and Earth.

Everyone tried to avoid heavy topics, making the day light and enjoyable.

Afterwards, Gu Chen also showed off his cooking skills at his mother-in-law's house, winning over everyone except Redel.

And so, Redel stayed at the old woman's house for a while before finally saying goodbye.

After all, he also had important matters to attend to. He needed to work hard to resolve the war on Standal Star, and he couldn't stay on Earth with his wife forever.

The old woman knew about this, and although she was very reluctant to part with him, she still saw him off.

In an instant, the once lively house became quiet again, and the old woman couldn't help but force a helpless smile.

However, in the following period, Gu Chen would visit this old woman's house almost every week to chat with her or have a meal with her, which was a way of expressing his feelings.

After arriving at the TPC Far East headquarters with Gu Chen and the others, Raeder took Abbas with him during the day when the sunlight was strongest and embarked on his journey back to Standel Star.

This incident has thus come to a perfect end.

The days that followed were peaceful for over a month, until that evening…

……

"The new horror movie that came out tonight wasn't very scary, and the characters in it were pretty stupid."

Gu Chen walked out of the movie theater with some disappointment, took a breath of the chilly midnight air of Tokyo, and couldn't help but sigh.

But that's normal. Horror movies are like novels; well-made ones are rare. More often, they're like fan fiction written by some mediocre writer who just knows how to get full attendance at Tomatoes, full of flaws and complaints, with the character development being particularly appalling.

However, none of this has anything to do with Gu Chen. He doesn't write novels or make horror movies, and he wouldn't go so far as to rant and rave about creators on rating websites just because he didn't find any works that met his expectations.

Putting these scattered thoughts aside, Gu Chen, as usual, bought an extra-large drink from the food street outside the movie theater and wandered aimlessly, enjoying the tranquility of the night.

However, tonight doesn't seem to want to pass by so peacefully.

Suddenly, a series of heavy and rhythmic footsteps came from afar and entered Gu Chen's ears.

Immediately afterwards, a sharp scream pierced the silent night sky.

Gu Chen's eyes narrowed, he threw the drink in his hand into the trash can, and then ran towards the direction from which the scream came.

After turning two corners, Gu Chen saw a white-collar woman sitting on the ground, and robots wandering aimlessly in the street.

Gu Chen raised an eyebrow and murmured, "Goblin?! So Dr. Eight-Tailed has completely developed the Max propulsion system?"

Immediately, Gu Chen pulled out his Victory Hyper Gun and shot down the Goblins wandering the street one by one.

After taking the terrified office worker to safety, Gu Chen immediately contacted the GUTS team through PDI and reported the current situation.

Before long, a Drum car arrived at the street where Gu Chen was.

Seiichi Munakata and Tetsuo Shinjo got out of the car and immediately saw robots scattered all over the street.

"Advisor, is this the mysterious robot you were talking about?"

Zongfang Chengyi squatted down and observed the Goblins who had been shot down by Gu Chen.

"But...aren't they just empty shells? Can something like that really move?"

Tetsuo Shinjo lifted up part of Goblin's body, tossed it back and forth a couple of times in his hand, and couldn't help but ask this question.

Goblin's design was simply too different from what he had always known about robots.

This is as absurd as making a plastic toy that can be assembled and then automatically starting to move without any other aids.

Gu Chen was already prepared for Tetsuo Shinjo's questions.

He pressed a few buttons on the PDI and showed a video recording to Tetsuo Shinjo, saying, "I knew you'd ask that. Here, I have the recording."

Upon seeing this, Tetsuo Shinjo was immediately surprised and said, "That's really true. What's the principle behind it?"

This curiosity is somewhat reminiscent of Masami Horii.

It seems that in the process of teasing each other, they are becoming more and more like each other. They really are a pair of great friends who tease each other.

"In short, let's take these robots of unknown origin back to headquarters for research first. Maybe we can find out something that way."

At this moment, Zongfang Chengyi spoke.

Gu Chen had no objection to this. Although these things filled TPC's warehouse in the original story, which led to the enemy appearing directly at GUTS's headquarters, Gu Chen now had a way to let the GUTS team know the origin and purpose of these robots.

In this way, the home raid that occurred in the original storyline can be avoided.

The three immediately lifted Goblin onto the Drum van and quickly drove it back to headquarters.

Having already received the news, Horii Masami was prepared and immediately sent Goblin to the laboratory for research and analysis.

While waiting for Masami Horii's research results, the other members of the GUTS team also discussed Goblin.

On the big screen, footage of Gu Chen taking down the robots was played on a loop, along with close-ups of the robots being knocked down and scattered on the ground.

Looking at the content on the big screen, Nanase Rena couldn't help but ask with some doubt, "Where did these robots come from?"

Tetsuo Shinjo frowned and continued, "If their appearance is intended to invade Earth, then they seem far too weak."

Daigo Madoka then offered a guess: "Could it be a prank by someone?"

Zongfang Chengyi immediately retorted: "Then how do you explain how they moved? We didn't find any electronic components during the recovery process."

For a time, the members of the GUTS team had differing opinions, and no one could give a reasonable guess.
