Rebirth of Shadow Ultraman

Although the credibility of urban legends is pitifully low, this legend is unexpectedly consistent with the mucus and scales left at the scene, and absurd rumors become the only clues.

"The research results are in."

Everyone turned to look in the direction of the door at the same time. The door opened automatically. Koshizaki Koichi walked in wearing white clothes with the EPU logo on it. He raised the communicator in his hand and clicked a few times. A set of comparisons The information appears on the screen in the combat command room.

"My understanding of these is not enough to understand those professional terms. Doctor, you'd better explain it."...

Harada Hiroki said distressedly. He had previously joined the Storm through selection with excellent results in fighting, shooting and driving, but he had almost no knowledge in this area.

Koshizaki Koichi said with some distress: "It is not comparable to any living thing on earth, but a twisted energy can be detected in it, which is very similar to what was previously found on monster fragments."

"Twisted energy?"

Fujii Takihiko repeated, pressed his temples, his expression was a little solemn, and he didn't know what he thought of.

Hiroshi Koshizaki nodded and said: "This distortion is more like the nature of energy itself. It is unstable and uncontrollable. No energy we know can stabilize it and cannot be used."

"So what impact will it have on living things?" Kyoko Imoto brought the question to the point directly.

"We have tried experiments with white mice and ordinary poultry. Life forms that are directly exposed to energy have experienced varying degrees of alienation in a short period of time, including but not limited to the growth of gills and scales."

Koshizaki Koichi clicked on the communicator again, and a video of only a few dozen seconds appeared on the screen and started to play automatically.

In the picture, a white mouse stepped forward to sniff the small pool of mucus. The moment it approached, its eyes suddenly lit up red, and its body trembled violently and rolled at the bottom of the isolation box.

Its body was stretched open with countless cracks, and the blood instantly dyed its white hair red. Blue-gray scales penetrated the skin and grew out. Its claws became sharper. The cheeks on both sides opened and closed, and it suddenly turned its head to stare at the camera. direction.

Being stared at by those scarlet eyes, everyone shuddered subconsciously. The alienated mouse suddenly kicked hard at the bottom, smashed the isolation box and rushed towards the camera.

The photographed scene was spinning around, and then turned sideways. A blue-gray shadow quickly rushed over, followed by frightened screams.

An ugly face with a barely recognizable rat shape suddenly appeared in front of the camera, making everyone tense up subconsciously, as if the alienated rat would break through the screen at the next moment.

The video stopped abruptly, but the entire combat command room fell silent. In just ten seconds, the almost harmless white mouse turned into such a brutal monster.

What if the person alienated by that energy is a human being?

"So...those people didn't disappear at all, but turned into such alienated fish-men?"

Harada Hiroki was silent for a moment. Although it was the fish-man legend he mentioned first, he now extremely hoped that his guess was wrong.

Hiroshi Koshizaki nodded: "No matter how this energy comes into contact, it will alienate the person being touched. The only exception at present is..."

He turned his head and looked at the battle video that was originally played on the screen. He was silent for a moment and said, "It's Ultraman Gaikage and Ultraman Tiga."

Fujii Takihiko frowned, put down the hand that was rubbing his temples and said, "We should strengthen patrols recently. We can't watch more people disappear. Doctor, please prepare protective measures and detectors against this alienated energy."

Koshizaki Koichi shook his head: "The protective measures are okay. As long as there is no direct contact, there will be no problem. However, this energy is too disordered and it is very difficult to build a detector. I will try my best."

"Excuse me."

Fujii Takihiko stood up, glanced at the only three team members, took a deep breath and said: "The intensity of patrols needs to be increased recently, so I'll leave it to you. I'll ask the director for instructions to let the Winter Team join in."

Fujii Takihiko stepped out of the combat command room and walked along the corridor, thinking about something as he walked.

A man in uniform walked towards him. He looked a little tired, and Fujii Takihiko took the initiative to speak.

"Staff Officer Yingshan."

Staff Officer Takayama raised his head and glanced at him, and said lukewarmly: "Captain Fujii is not in the combat command room watching those children playing. What are you doing here, applying for toy expenses from the director?"

Fujii Takihiko didn't say much. He and the staff officer in front of him never had a good tone, but today Staff Officer Takayama looked very strange. His body seemed to be suppressing something, and the hands exposed under the cuffs were still shaking.

Staff Officer Takayama snorted coldly, bumped Fujii Takihiko's shoulder away without dodging, and walked straight out.

Fujii Takihiko hesitated for a moment and rang the doorbell outside the door, and then a gentle voice rang.

"Please come in."

The door opened automatically, and Fujii Takihiko stepped in. An old man with gray hair was sitting opposite the desk, flipping through documents.

Fujii Takihiko vaguely captured the funding application for the research and development of new weapons and the warning plan for Ultraman. He recalled the staff officer Yingshan who had just left, and looked back thoughtfully.

"Director, is Team Winter's strategy against Ultraman a little too aggressive?"

The old man raised his head and glanced at him, shook his head and sighed: "Fujii, you know, the battle twenty years ago made them wary of foreign creatures to the point of being on guard."

He glanced at the sunshine outside the window and said meaningfully: "Not every warrior who protects mankind can be understood. This is the case for mankind itself, not to mention outsiders?"

Fujii Takihiko fell silent, it was true, because there were many heroes who were misunderstood by a few rumors. What's more, Ultraman is still labeled as an outsider, which is undoubtedly the best reason to be wary of him.

The director stood up, scanned his fingerprints and irises to open a small grid, and took out the contents and handed them to Fujii Takihiko.

"This is my exclusive mark. No matter it is stamped on any document or agreement, it means that I recognize it. Takiyan, don't make it difficult for me."

Fujii Takihiko raised his hand to take the seal-like thing, bowed deeply and said: "Thank you for your trust, director."

The old man sighed, shook his head and said: "I hope Ultraman is really as friendly to humans as you judged. I have approved the application for new weapon development by Staff Yingshan. Protecting the earth cannot rely solely on Ultraman. of goodwill.”
