Chapter 847: Rise of the Planet of the Apes
"Happy New Year!"
"grumble!"
"Ah?"
"grumble?"
Martin's shout prompted everyone to repeat it, but it was like shouting "cheese" when taking a photo. Everyone repeated it without thinking and fell into confusion after shouting it out.
Miyano Akemi, who was about to say "Cheers to Doomsday" to cheer things up, got her words stuck in her throat and then looked at Martin with a confused look on her face.
“Is it New Year’s Day?”
"Well... can it be?" Although today in this world is not New Year's Day, Martin can make it so if he wants.
"So, if a new era is established after the end of the world, then the day of reconstruction will be the first day of the era, which is the New Year." Sera Masumi thought about it very seriously.
After hearing this, Sonoko tilted her head: "So the New Year will be here in a few days? Then what is today? Christmas?"
The Japanese celebrate the New Year on New Year's Day, so the New Year and Christmas are very close.
Mira looked like she was reminiscing: "As I remember, it should be called Xiaonian, right?"
Xiaolan nudged Mira with her elbow: "You did a lot of homework."
The young detectives surrounded Huiyuan Ai: "Xiao Ai, the sisters seem to be talking about something strange?" "Are we going to celebrate the New Year? Isn't it only June now?"
"It's none of your business." Huiyuan Ai was too lazy to explain and skipped the topic calmly. She picked up a few skewers from the grill and divided them onto three plates: "This is Kojima-san's eel skewers."
Yuan Tai looked bitter: "This is just a roasted pumpkin cut into the shape of an eel, right?"
Yuantai is just stupid, he is not foolish.
"Ah? You don't want to eat it? Pumpkin is rich in dietary fiber." Huiyuan tilted her head sadly: "It took me a lot of effort to cut it into this shape."
Kojima Genta shuddered: "Eat eat eat! I'll eat! It's delicious - hiss! It's so hot!"
At a young age, the fat boy knew one truth: don't offend anyone else, never offend the cook.
It doesn’t matter whether the vegetables taste good or not. What matters is that if you don’t eat them, you may not be able to eat the skewers next time.
Genta glanced at the plate in Dr. Agasa's hand. Although he couldn't see the whole picture due to the height, the edges and corners that were exposed were green, just like Dr. Agasa's face.
Even the big rabbit was eating roasted carrot skewers... Oh, rabbits eat vegetables anyway.
Because Conan was not around, Hattori Heiji felt a little lonely, so he took the initiative to talk to Martin: "Speaking of which, will there be any special phenomena when the 'end of the world' comes, such as earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, etc."
"I don't know. This is my first time merging worlds, so I have no experience." Martin shrugged: "That's why I've been advising you to enjoy life these days."
Hattori Heiji's face darkened even more: "So there is really a risk of killing us all?"
"If everything goes well, the switch should be seamless, and most humans won't even notice it." Martin thought for a moment. "On the one hand, changes occurring at the world level may not necessarily be reflected in natural phenomena such as earthquakes and volcanoes. On the other hand, I can modify everyone's cognition afterwards."
"So I can still die without pain." Hattori Heiji understood from a unique perspective.
"If you wish I can also arrange some disasters, even without waiting until the day after tomorrow."
"That's not necessary!" Hattori Heiji slipped away.
Martin felt a little regretful. He hadn't met anyone who was challenging and willing to take part in the fun for a long time.
Then Martin looked up and saw a full moon in the sky. Today was indeed not New Year's Day.
Um, full moon?
"It turns out there's a full moon today..." Martin said in a subtle tone.
"Is there a problem?" Sera Masumi asked as he passed by Martin, "Is a full moon abnormal?"
"It's normal. It's normal for you to have a full moon every day. Of course, this feature will disappear soon." Martin lowered his head and asked loudly, "Does anyone want to be the heroine of "King Kong: 2025"? "
"What, are we going to make a movie?" Yuanshan Heye looked over.
"Me! I want to be the leading actress!" Suzuki Sonoko jumped up and raised her hands, then daydreamed intoxicatedly: "Maybe my hidden charm and acting talent will be discovered, and then I will become the queen of the screen!"
"Wait... are you going to be a director or a screenwriter? I won't participate in the screenwriting." Suddenly remembering Martin's usual style, Suzuki Sonoko backed down again. After all, she was thinking of Hashimoto Kanna before she played the live-action version of Gintoki.
However, when they looked at Martin, they found that something was wrong with Martin.
"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
I saw that Wukong Martin's hair stood up, his eyes turned red, his teeth were bared, and his body was shaking, as if he was enduring pain.
Then, in Wukong Martin's bared mouth, the two upper canine teeth began to grow longer, becoming larger and more exaggerated, longer than the fangs of a vampire. His nose grew larger, and the lower half of his face began to grow longer, stretching forward. Then, thick black hair began to grow on his head, face, and neck.
"Chi! Chichi?" Rabbit jumped over and even tried to grab Martin's shoulders and shake him, but was then pushed away by the burst of energy.
"Hey, hey, hey..." Sera Masumi swiftly jumped back and asked as he slid away, "Did you see the full moon and transform into a werewolf?"
"Full moon?" Miyano Akemi heard the noise and looked up at the full moon in the sky. Then she remembered the setting: "Oh no!"
However, at this time, Goku Martin's ever-expanding body had already torn his martial arts uniform into pieces, and it was still continuing to expand, already larger than Dr. Agasa's house next to him.
Fortunately, they were having a barbecue in the yard. If Martin was inside the house and saw the moon outside the window, the doctor's house would have been shattered like his martial arts uniform.
“Na, na, na, na, na, Nani!?” Everyone watched with trembling voices as a giant ape rose from the ground, put down its hands and beat its chest, letting out an angry roar.
By the way, the last time someone roared like this in this yard was a Gigantamax Meowth. And things have changed, this time Goku Martin, who suddenly turned into a super gorilla, was also irrational and out of control.
"Run!" Miyano Akemi quickly warned, "Martin-kun is irrational right now!"
Everyone turned around and ran away, but compared to the little sisters who practiced karate, aikido, jeet kune do, and fencing, Suzuki Sonoko's speed seemed particularly slow. Even the three little ones, Genta, ran faster than her.
Then a giant hand bigger than a human fell from the sky, grabbed Suzuki Sonoko, and then the giant ape roared and left the yard.
"This...what is going on?" Yuanshan Heye had spent too little time with Martin, and felt very helpless about this sudden development.
On the other side, Xiaolan was much calmer: "Sonoko...should be okay?"
After all, after such a long time of getting along, although Martin Jun was a bit troublesome, he never caused anything irreparable.
However, Martin seems to be in an irrational state this time, which is still a bit worrying.
Ai Huihara looked at the giant ape's departing back, but she was concerned about something that seemed out of place to her: "Was that a monkey or an ape?"
"He's a Saiyan..." her sister replied, then said uncertainly, "He looks like a gorilla, right?"
"But among primates, humans and gibbons don't have tails, while the rest of the monkeys have tails." Huihara Ai analyzed seriously, "And monkeys are generally slender, not as burly as chimpanzees."
"Goku was originally a little boy with a tail. After he turned into an orangutan, he became a chimpanzee with a tail?" Miyano Akemi was a little puzzled: "Shiho didn't wonder about his tail before, did she?"
Huihara Ai was stunned for a moment, then she found it a little funny: "I'm used to seeing this guy with a tail."
Miyano Akemi continued, "But you just discovered the key point. Martin's only weakness right now is his tail. If his tail is cut off, he will immediately lose his gorilla transformation. Not only that, if his tail is pinched in his little boy state, he will become completely powerless."
"That tail is now thicker than the doctor's waist. How can I cut it?"
At the same time, Subaru Okiya, who lived next door, heard a loud roar and screams from outside.
As he always paid attention to what was going on next door, he knew that Miyano Akemi was organizing a barbecue party, but Miyano Akemi didn't invite him, and he was embarrassed to run over there shamelessly like he did before.
But when he heard the strange noise, he could no longer sit still while discussing the details of dealing with Bourbon with Kudo Yusaku. He immediately got up and ran out to check the situation next door.
As a result, as soon as he ran to the street, Shuichi Akai suddenly felt a darkness covering him. Looking up, he saw a large gorilla foot with five long toes falling down and constantly enlarging in his field of vision.
Bang! Bang! Bang! The giant ape moved its heavy body, leaving a footprint-shaped pit on the ground with every step. In one of the pits, lay an older cousin who had been unconscious from ten years of athlete's foot.
……
"Hey! Can you hear me? I regret it. I don't want to act in a movie anymore, okay? You didn't say you were here to play King Kong, and you didn't say you didn't even prepare a camera!"
Suzuki Sonoko was held tightly in Martin's hand, much tighter than Kogoro Mouri held the little corgi.
At this time, her phone rang. Although it seemed a bit awkward to make a phone call while being held by a giant monster, Yuanzi still answered the phone. After all, she couldn't do anything else at the moment: "Ms. Qiuya?"
"Huh... It seems that Sonoko's life is not in danger. We can rest assured." Miyano Akemi breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Martin's sanity did not disappear completely like Goku's, otherwise Sonoko, who smelled of barbecue, would have been killed by now.
"Don't worry!" Yuanzi looked down and said, "What on earth is this guy trying to do? I saw many cars have been crushed by him!"
The gorilla Martin was striding along the road, but the road was not wide and many cars parked on the roadside were damaged. It was not known whether the insurance company was willing to compensate.
"Hmm... before Martin turned into a gorilla, did he say he was going to make a movie called King Kong?" Miyano Akemi speculated, "If it's the most classic scene in King Kong, it should be the one where he takes the heroine up the Empire State Building, right?"
"Climb up the Empire State Building..." Yuanzi felt something was not right when she heard it. Then she looked up and suddenly saw a towering building in front of the road, in the direction Martin was heading.
It is a round tower that is white in color. It is the tallest tower building in the world and the third tallest man-made structure in the world. Its height is 634 meters, because the pronunciation of "634" in Japanese is similar to the pronunciation of Musashi Province, which was the province of Tokyo before the Meiji Restoration. The Empire State Building is only 443.7 meters including the antenna, and the height that King Kong climbed in the movie is about 380 meters.
"No!" Sonoko yelled, "That's the Suzuki Tower! You can tell from the name, right? That's my tower! If you damage my tower, I will really fight you to the death!"
I don’t know if Martin heard Sonoko’s shouting, or if this white tower was not to the gorilla Martin’s taste. Martin grabbed Sonoko and passed by the Suzuki Tower and continued to move forward.
Relieved, Yuanzi continued to shout into the phone: "Ms. Qiuya, save me!"
"It's okay, right? He didn't eat Sonoko on the spot, which means the current situation is still under Martin's control." Miyano Akemi's tone began to become nonchalant: "Didn't Sonoko herself say that she wanted to be the female lead?"
"But this guy didn't prepare any cameras or photographers!" Yuanzi was a little upset. She turned her head and shouted to the big head of the gorilla Martin: "Why don't you wait a moment and shoot it another day! I'll let my dad find a professional photography team first!"
"Hmm..." Miyano Akemi thought for a moment, but what she thought was not what Sonoko expected: "If Martin is still awake now, he might say: 'No need, the TV station's photographers are professional enough!'"
"Ah, is it possible that my appearance on the screen started from being on the news?" Sonoko said in panic: "I didn't put on any makeup today!"
"Don't worry, Sonoko," Miyano Akemi comforted her, "Generally, your photo will have a black bar over your eyes in the news, and people who know you will pretend not to be able to tell that it's you in the photo."
"Oh, by the way, if you die, they won't censor it." Then, Miyano Akemi's voice was lowered again on the phone: "Xiaolan, help me grill some more lamb skewers! And squid and pollack."
No wonder the Chinese character for fresh is fish and lamb. Today, Akemi Miyano discovered a new way of eating seafood and lamb skewers interspersed with each other, and the taste is so delicious.
"You're still having a barbecue!?" Sonoko finally realized that while she was frightened, her friends were still singing and dancing, ignoring her.
What answered her next was not Miyano Akemi's sophistry, but the slight sound of the phone being hung up.
Rumble, rumble, rumble, rumble... After hanging up the phone, Sonoko heard the sound of propellers. She looked up and saw a pitch-black iron bird hovering above her. As for whether it was a TV station's interview helicopter, a police helicopter, or an armed helicopter of the Self-Defense Forces, Sonoko couldn't recognize it with her eyesight.
But she also saw a row of black and white police cars driving towards her from the distance on the road.
And ahead on the road, the new target Martin chose after letting Suzuki go was a building that looked like the Eiffel Tower, with red and white stripes like roadblock cones, a well-known landmark building in Japan.
