Rebirth of Shadow Ultraman

He ran all the way back home as if being chased by an evil ghost, panted and closed the door, then fell to the ground with his back against the door.

Along the way, every time he saw someone who was affected by the monster, he would feel that the other person was staring at him. Although he knew that it might be his illusion, he couldn't help himself from thinking about it.

Koshizaki Lang had never felt such guilt before. He tried to divert his attention, but the sound of collapse coming from outside the window from time to time made him uneasy.

"I just don't want to bear the burden of things beyond my ability. That's right. I'm not Ultraman at all, and that power is not mine. I'm just an ordinary human being."

This sentence kept repeating in my heart, seeming to convince myself, and also seemed to want to tell someone.

"Did you really...leave?" He murmured with a complicated mood, no longer pretending to be happy. He was the only one in this room, so who should he pretend to?

"Perhaps Gai Ying is also disappointed in me? People like me can't fight with him, nor can I protect humans."

"Am I...really wrong?"

…

In a tightly guarded office, a person wearing an EPU senior uniform frowned, looked at the report handed in front of him, and threw it out.

"A bunch of trash, they can't even catch an Ultraman whose energy has not been restored."

His expression was uncertain, as if he was thinking about something. After being silent for a long time, he finally made up his mind to stand up and walk out.

The EPU soldiers along the way saluted respectfully, but in a very bad mood, it was obvious that he would not respond in any way.

After passing three gates in a row, his irises were checked, and his fingerprints were used to confirm his identity. The heavy door in front of him slowly opened from four directions, and a sealed research room appeared in front of him.

A huge reservoir appeared in front of you, with black liquid on the surface rising and falling, bubbling like boiling water.

"Is there any progress in the research on abnormal energy?"

A flash of greed flashed in his eyes, but he concealed it well, and asked the researcher who was rushing over.

"Just like the previous results, this energy will cause mental pollution to all living things. The death row prisoners you sent have all been executed after going crazy."

His face suddenly turned ugly, and he raised his head and stared at the huge reservoir. Two scarlet rays of light flashed away, as if something terrifying was watching him.

The feeling of horror disappeared in a flash. When he came back to his senses and looked again, the pool of black water still looked like it was rolling and there was nothing abnormal about it.

He rubbed his temples, said "Hurry up and study," then turned and walked out. The researcher next to him breathed a sigh of relief and quickly returned to his post.

After leaving the heavily guarded underground research location where all signals were cut off, he returned to his office, took out a translucent cell phone-like communicator and clicked a few times to send a certain message.

A weak, extremely chaotic murmur suddenly sounded in my mind, like a distant whisper, looming. But there was no logic in the babble, which caused a tingling sensation in the brain.

"The evil god of the end, Ketruf."

A vague fanaticism suddenly appeared on his face, his eyes flashed with a scarlet light, then returned to normal, and clicked a few more times, which was the signal to summon the Winter Team.

Not long after, a middle-aged man wearing uniforms with the same specifications as the defense team, but with lighter colors came in and said respectfully: "Director."

"The operation to capture Ultraman cannot stop. Try to confirm Ultraman's energy response in the records of his recent appearances. If the capture fails, lethal firepower is allowed."

…

In the combat command room, Kyoko Imoto was still looking angrily at yesterday's battle records, extremely angry at Team Winter's attack on Ultraman.

Even though Ultraman was almost certain to be a comrade, they could still choose to attack without hesitation.

The two teams belong to the hawks and doves in the EPU respectively. When faced with monsters and aliens, the Winter Team will always choose to attack without hesitation, and then use the remaining spacecraft or weapons for research.

This has also led to the fact that EPU has not had peaceful communication with any cosmic people so far, and they know almost nothing about the situation in the universe.

The long-standing differences in concepts have caused friction between them many times during their tasks. It is strange that their relationship can get better.

"Okay, it's just that we each follow the orders of our superiors."

Takihiko Fujii interrupted Kyoko Imoto's complaint and looked at Ultraman who disappeared into the smoke in the screen with a headache.

To be fair, if he were Ultraman, it would be difficult to trust humans again after this battle. He hesitated and said.

"The next time we fight, be prepared for possible attacks from Ultraman. Although we are not the ones attacking him, it can easily be misunderstood as EPU's attitude."

Iwata Eikei sighed and felt a little irritated. This was not the first time that the Winter Team had sabotaged their operation, but it had never caused him such a headache.

Although the explosion of science and technology has rapidly improved their technology, it has not yet reached the level where they can defeat large monsters. For now, Ultraman's power is a must.

Fujii Takihiko thought for a moment and then said: "We have to continue to recruit new members. The current four members are already stretched thin."

Iwata Eikei said: "I do have a good candidate here, but he is still some time away from graduation. He has already passed the basics of fighter piloting and firearms use."

"You can arrange it according to the regulations. If he is willing to accept it, learning can also be carried out within the epu."

Iwata Eikei nodded. Following the identity authentication of the communicator, the door of the combat command room automatically opened, and he descended to the ground floor through the elevator and walked towards the outer garage.

Most of the vehicles used for rescue, combat, and transportation are parked here. Professional staff regularly inspect and maintain them to ensure that they can be put into use as quickly as possible when needed.

Iwata Eikei parked in front of the Crete, the one he had driven to pick up Koshizaki Rō. It looked like an ordinary car under normal circumstances.

As the communicator becomes parallel to the car door, the green light turns on, the door lock automatically opens, and the door rotates upward ninety degrees to reveal the driver's seat.

After a brief confirmation, the Crete drove out of the base and sped towards Yue Qilang's residence.

Ten minutes later, with the sound of brakes, the Crete stopped outside the door. Iwata Eikei glanced inside the room, which was still as calm as ever.

Koshizaki Koichi is still working hard at the research institute to study everything excavated from ancient ruins. Koshizaki Rō should be the only one in the family. He stepped forward and rang the doorbell.
