Rebirth of Shadow Ultraman

Xiu Zuo rubbed his eyes and sat up from the bed. The sun shone into the room through the window. He slept peacefully until dawn without being woken up by nightmares in the middle of the night.

Despite this, the dark circles under his eyes from not sleeping well for a long time were still clearly visible, making him look a little lackluster, but this was an outcome that he couldn't even imagine.

After glancing at the knife still in his hand, Xiu Zuo hesitated and grabbed it. Although he was tempted by the idea of ​​keeping it, he still felt that he wanted to give it back to Maki Shuki.

But recalling that direct contact would make his super power disappear, Xiu Zuo put it down temporarily, then put two fingers together and waved gently, and the invisible power of thought spread, searching for Maki Shuo's figure.

The surrounding buildings, pedestrians coming and going, and the leaves rustling in the wind all clearly appeared in his mind, and the range of perception quickly expanded until a familiar figure appeared on the street.

Zhen Mu Shuo, who was feeling the sensation, suddenly turned his head, his eyes seemed to penetrate countless obstacles and looked in his direction. Xiu Zuo subconsciously leaned back, and the original detection disappeared instantly.

Since acquiring this super power, Xiu Zuo has secretly used it countless times, and even found the lost key with his super power.

But Maki Shuo was the first person to detect him from an unknown distance. Recalling Maki Shuo's gaze, Xiu Zuo felt inexplicably embarrassed about being caught peeping.

He lifted up the quilt and covered his head, as if the scene just now was replaying in front of his eyes. A suspicion arises in my heart unconsciously: Does he also have super powers?

Shuzuo put his hands on the top of his head and rubbed it for a while, then lifted the quilt and sat up again with his messy hair. No matter what he thought, it was just a guess without any evidence.

Maybe Maki Shuo really just took a casual look and happened to hit his detection?

As he was thinking wildly, his doorbell was suddenly rang. Xiuzuo looked at it hesitantly, but then he cautiously walked to the door, opened a small crack and took a look outside.

Maki Shuo sighed helplessly, Xiu Zuo acted as if the person standing outside the door was not him, but some man-eating evil ghost.

But in the face of cautious cultivation, he still stood there and waited patiently. Xiu Zuo looked at Maki Shuo, who had already opened the door a crack, but still didn't break in. He felt slightly relieved and opened the door completely.

"Uncle, are you here to get your knife back?"

Maki Shuo was silent for a moment, recalling that Shuzuo called my dream "Brother Gaoshan" in the original plot. She felt a little complicated for a moment, and sighed before saying.

"The knife itself was left for you. You won't have any more nightmares after leaving it with you."

Shuzuo was clearly panicked, and he stammered in reply: "What...what a nightmare, I've been resting well."

He said that, but the two thick dark circles under his eyes didn't look convincing at all. Zhen Mu Shuo shook her head helplessly and continued.

"Don't you want to know who the guy who often appears in your dreams is? Don't you want to figure out the source of your superpowers?"

Xiu Zuo's eager words were choked in his throat. After a moment, he opened the door and said, "I think, I have always wanted to. But... I couldn't resist him. I couldn't use my super powers in that dream."

Maki Shuo took a sip of instant coffee, placed it on the table, leaned back and sunk into the soft cushions, looked at Shusaku with his head lowered, and waited for his answer.

"So, is the man in my dream the devil Onijuro? My... ancestor?"

Shuzuo looked at his middle and index fingers that were pressed together, which was the gesture he made every time he used his super power. That power that could do countless incredible things had never made him so repelled.

It's like holding a knife that has killed countless people. No matter how sharp it is, the smell of blood on the blade will make people sick.

"Then...that knife is..."

Maki Shuu nodded: "It's Ida Iryu's sword. He was the one who stopped the demon Onijuro in the first place. Iryu, why don't you come out and see him?"

His eyes moved to the handle lying across the table.

On the sword, a moment later, a much more unreal warrior figure appeared in front of the two of them, sighing slightly.

"He gained stronger strength in his endless resentment, but I really became weaker. The only thing I can do is barely let this child sleep well."

Maki Shuu frowned and turned to look at Shusaku: "If you can't solve it, it's better to lure him out and completely eliminate the devil Onijuro. But in this case... you will also lose this power. "

Xiu Zuo was silent for a moment, feeling confused. Originally, he barely felt the love of his parents, and he was not very confident. His superpowers brought about great changes in him, and also made the girl he liked notice him.

Once he gives up, maybe he will go back to living alone again. The kind of days when no one cares, no one cares.

He opened his mouth, but no words of approval came out. It's hard not to become dependent on something as convenient as superpowers once you use them.

Just like with bicycles or even cars, few people run far away on two legs. With the advent of the telephone, communication through letters also began to decline.

Maki Shuo was still sitting in her original position, neither urging nor anxious. Directly annihilating the demon Onijuro is the safest and most direct way, but he will not annihilate the boy in front of him because of this.

"But without my superpower... I am nothing." Xiu Zuo's voice was so low that it was almost inaudible, and his dejected look looked like a defeated rooster.

"Superpowers are never the reason why people pay attention to you. More people don't have superpowers, but they still have many friends and people they like by their side."

Maki Shuo raised her hand and gently tapped Shuzuo's chest with an index finger: "The reason they really pay attention to you is not because of your superpowers, but because of... you."

"Me?" Xiu Zuo raised his head in confusion and looked into Maki Shuo's eyes, "But before I..."

"You didn't try hard to make changes before, did you? What attracted them was the cheerful and sunny you, not the super power that no one knew about." Maki Shuo interrupted him directly.

Xiu Zuo sat there in silence, with his eyes lowered, unable to see the emotion in his eyes. Maki Shuo was not in a hurry, and the two of them sat quietly like this until the sun turned halfway across the sky.

"Sorry, Uncle Maki, can I give you an answer tomorrow?"

Maki Shuo nodded, ignoring the uncle's title.
