Rebirth of Shadow Ultraman

The midday sun shone through the canopy of trees, casting a few rays of gold. Yue Qilang's shoes stepped on some dead branches, making a "clicking" sound.

There was silence all around, and it seemed that even the bugs hiding in the corners and the birds jumping overhead on the branches were aware of Yuezakiro's complicated mood, and did not make a sound to disturb his thinking.

The moment he heard the news, he subconsciously wanted to protect humanity from the attack of the combined fleet. But the words of Nemoto Tianming and Maki Naka were like two basins of cold water poured on his head, making him immediately escape from his impulse.

What if he was the one being treated as an alien? If it was him who was captured by the Winter Team's attack, could the research subject lying on the experimental table be him, Koshizaki?

The answer to this question was almost instantaneous: yes, definitely yes.

He even had no doubt that the other party would try his best to extract the light from his body and use it as a weapon or for the evolution of mankind itself. As for what will happen to him and what will happen to Gai Ying, who cares?

Perhaps in order to "thank" him for his contribution to the defense force, he will be given a few symbolic hero medals?

Although the sun was shining through the cracks on his body, Yue Qilang seemed to be in the coldest winter and shivered violently.

The hot beating heart that had just been ignited suddenly cooled down. What is the fight all about? In order for humans to put themselves on the experimental platform?

Once doubts arose about the meaning of the battle, all kinds of confusing thoughts rushed to the brain almost immediately, and the rejection that had been suppressed and was changing subtly came back to the heart.

Yuesaki Lang suddenly seemed to have lost his strength, his body fell backwards and hit a big tree, and he fell to the ground in a panic, looking at the ground with blank eyes.

He took out the communicator that Koshizaki Koichi gave him, and looked at those people clamoring to hold EPU responsible for this matter, feeling a sense of exhaustion.

When they first met the aliens, they were the ones who were afraid and hostile. But when it came time to take responsibility, they were too busy passing the responsibility on to others.

When Ketruf wakes up one day, and his request to humans is to hand over Geying, is it true... that people will not hesitate to abandon the giant of light who protects them as a bargaining chip for survival?

Once thoughts begin to deviate in this direction, countless loopholes can be easily found in human behavior, even without much deliberate effort.

Why protect? Why fight? This question lingered in his mind again. Can a fist without goals and faith really be wielded with all its strength?

…

In the combat command room, the Storm Team never received the order to attack, and the combined fleet in space also strangely did not launch an attack, as if they were waiting for something.

"Captain, we can't wait any longer. If the other party suddenly attacks, it will be too late for us to take action." Harada Hiroki said urgently.

Fujii Takihiko shook his head and gently pressed his hand on his chest. There was a seal symbolizing the director's identity, and a data interface could also be pushed out from it.

Maybe it's time to put the power that the director gave him to use?

Fujii Takihiko looked at the combined fleet still hovering over the earth on the screen, and suddenly turned to Harada Hiroki and said.

"Convey the message to them. An hour later, I will give an explanation to the information they sent at the G1 location. If this explanation cannot be accepted by them, it will not be too late to attack again."

"No, this is too risky. Captain, if there is someone who must come into contact with them, I will apply to go!"

Harada Hiroki blurted out, standing upright and saying firmly. Jingyuan Jingzi glanced at him and replied calmly.

"It's okay to fight with your personality, but if you hand over, you'll just completely avoid all possibilities of peace, right?"

Harada Hiroki was not angry. They had fought together countless times. Although he also knew that he was impulsive and careless, tasks such as investigation and negotiation would not be assigned to him.

But recalling that the last time he was given the task of investigating the fishmen, he was left sitting in the combat command room waiting for the results. This was undoubtedly a kind of torture for him.

Fujii Takihiko shook his head and said: "I can go by myself. If something happens to me, Iwata Eikei will temporarily take over as captain. The Storm team is already short of manpower and cannot risk losing two people for this negotiation. "

"Then why does the captain have to go? Wouldn't it be more appropriate for us to go?" Harada Hiroki said straightforwardly.

Imoto Kyoko glanced at him again, seeming a little worried about his IQ, but she still explained.

"The other party is actually a combined fleet of multiple civilizations. If you want to negotiate, you must have people with a high enough status among humans to show sincerity and respect. In other words, we are just soldiers, and soldiers are not qualified to negotiate on behalf of EPU."

She turned her head and looked at Fujii Takihiko's back, suppressing that question in her heart. Not to mention that Fujii Takihiko is just a captain of the Japanese branch. Even the director of the Japanese branch may not have the right to represent mankind.

But under such circumstances, why would the captain choose to negotiate?

Fujii Takihiko meticulously checked his personal equipment, whether it was the team uniform, the energy conversion port on the belt, the medical spray to treat minor injuries, or the emergency energy magazine, and the Anaj gun.

He confirmed that there was nothing wrong with his communicator, finally put on his helmet and inserted the communicator into the grooved goggles.

The blue light flashed along the lines of the helmet, indicating that energy and data had been connected. Based on the original function of the communicator, the computing power has been greatly improved, and the helmet can also provide good defense capabilities.

"Send the message immediately. This is the captain's order."

Harada Hiroki gritted his teeth. Although he was still worried about the captain's safety, he still squeezed out a sentence of understanding through his teeth.

Along with the keystrokes, the words "Send Complete" are displayed on the screen. Fujii Takihiko nodded, turned around and walked out of the combat command room without saying a word.

"team leader……"

Fujii Takihiko did not turn his head. As the door of the combat command room closed automatically, blocking his back, the combat command room fell into silence.

The footsteps stopped. Fujii Takihiko stood in front of Crete's car, took out the communicator, and dialed the number marked as his wife. After hesitating for a long time, he still didn't dial.

"Aren't you going to say goodbye to your family?"

A familiar voice sounded. Tianming was leaning on the other side of the car and turned to look at him. Fujii Takihiko shook his head.

"Talking about this will only make them worry. It won't be too late to call them after I get back safely. What's more... I'm not good at saying goodbye."
