Rebirth of Shadow Ultraman

"Brigadier General Hiiragi, long time no see." Staff Officer Chiba looked at the person in front of him with a sigh, but did not greet him like an old friend.

"I am Commander Shishi." Shishi saluted, and then said, "Let's get down to business. I don't think you came to the air base for no reason."

Hiiragi turned his head and looked at the central screen. The screen switched to a picture of a lake, with a red dot flashing continuously.

"Is this what it is?" Staff Officer Chiba glanced at it, then turned around and asked in confusion. Brigadier General Hiiragi still maintains an expressionless face and an attitude of rejecting people thousands of miles away, which makes people subconsciously uncomfortable when they see him.

"Fifteen hundred meters beneath Lake Tsumura, a monster sleeps."

"Is it Tigulis?" The commander of the stone room thought for a moment and thought of the monster the other party mentioned.

Brigadier General Hiiragi nodded and said calmly: "It is expected that tomorrow afternoon, we will launch underground penetrating bombs to eliminate the monsters in advance."

"Underground penetrating bullet? That is a weapon that is banned in wartime. Even if it is used to face monsters, I don't recommend you to use it so hastily." Staff Officer Chiba was stunned for a moment, and then said firmly.

"Not to mention the damage caused by the underground penetrating bomb, the impact on the plate and underground pollution are also consequences that cannot be ignored."

Brigadier General Hiiragi took off his sunglasses and stared into the eyes of Staff Officer Chiba, and said in an almost unquestionable tone: "No matter how well the environment and the earth are protected, everything will be meaningless if humans disappear. Do you understand?"

Staff Officer Chiba fell silent. He is a human being, so naturally he should first think about issues from a human perspective. From a human perspective, there is nothing wrong with what Brigadier General Hiiragi said.

"What's more, I'm not here to discuss with you. This is a determined action. I hope you xig can do a good job in the aftermath."

Commander Shishi and Staff Officer Chiba looked at each other. Although they still had different ideas, they could not disobey the order from their superiors, so they could only comply with it with a calm face.

…

In the bustling city with people coming and going, every screen connected to the lines in the streets and alleys was playing the same message, and Reiko's voice overlapped and sounded in Maki Shuo's ears.

"...Tomorrow at four o'clock in the afternoon, the guard will launch an underground penetrating bomb at the monster sleeping 1,500 meters underground in Tsumura Lake..."

"Mom, didn't you say that people who have done bad things will not be punished? Isn't that the case with monsters?" The little girl in white clothes asked her mother's hand, pointing at the screen.

"That is such a terrifying monster. If the monster wakes up one day and destroys the city, it will be too late to launch missiles." The mother explained to her child.

The little girl didn't ask any more questions, just lowered her head silently, and swallowed back the words that followed, "But, can't people and monsters be friends?"

Maki Shuo looked at this scene and said nothing. He has long known that human beings always have subconscious egoism deep in their hearts, but every time before human beings make a choice, he can't help but look forward to human beings bravely taking steps towards a brighter future.

He remembered Tiguris, the monster that fell in front of humans due to continuous attacks. Maki Shuo once again stood at a fork in the road, on the side of humanity or on the side of the earth.

According to the consistent code of conduct of the Space Guard of the Kingdom of Light, it is not a just act for humans to actively attack monsters that cause no harm.

Feeling the light from the earth in his body, Shuo Maki turned away from the noise and walked towards Tsumura Lake.

The water waves rise and fall with the wind, reflecting the golden light of the sun layer by layer. There was silence all around, with almost no people around.

Everyone has learned from the news that the underground penetrating bomb is about to be launched. Everyone is sincerely afraid of modern firepower and will naturally stay away from the scene early.

With... one exception.

"Are you from xig?" Megumi Kuroda looked at the "x" mark on Shuki Maki's clothes and asked softly.

Maki Shuo was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "Are you...Miss Kuroda?"

This time, it was Kuroda Megumi's turn to be surprised, and asked curiously: "Do you know me?"

"Ah, I saw Renlong from a long distance before." Maki Shuo replied absentmindedly, his eyes fixed on the launcher of the underground penetrating bomb.

Until the last moment, he always hoped that humans would change their minds. Renlong may also have this idea to give humans a chance to improve, but humans... don't seem to need this opportunity.

Kuroda Megumi seemed to be aware of Maki Shuki's mood. Instead of saying to him the words she was supposed to say to my dream, she said.

"Besides that time, have we... met somewhere else?"

She could faintly detect a sense of intimacy from Zhen Mu Shuo's body, just like the feeling the earth brought to her, and like the feeling when Renlong appeared.

"Maybe you remember it wrong, except for that time I rarely leave the air base."

Maki Shuo still didn't look back, just stood quietly waiting for humans to make the final decision. If humans don’t change their minds……..

"Senior, I am going to stop this stupid plan. The knife that stabs the earth will one day come back and stab me."

"Fujimiya..." A voice sounded from behind, and Maki Shuo answered softly, without any intention of stopping him.

Unlike him, Fujimiya is a member of the human race born on this earth, and he is qualified to do this. But what about Maki? What stance does he take to persuade humans to stop? Why should humans listen to his advice?

The reason for the last cooperation was that the degree of danger to human beings in that plan was within an acceptable range. Once it touches the interests of human beings themselves, the false relationship in front of them will be torn to pieces immediately.

"Senior, what will you do?" Fujimiya, who was about to turn around and leave, suddenly stopped and said calmly.

Shuki Maki didn't answer, but Fujimiya got the answer he wanted and strode towards the opposite direction.

He does trust Maki Shuo, but he is also a living person with his own thoughts. No matter how well-informed people are, there will always be times when they disagree.

Maki Shuo did not choose to stop humans. What Renlong needs to know is humans' heartfelt choices. Even if he rushes over now, he will still use force to stop them in the end.

Seeing that it was getting late, Kuroda Megumi said an apologetic farewell and left here first. Zhen Mu Shuo stood there, as if he had turned into a stone statue in his human form.

He is waiting, my dream is waiting, Renlong is waiting, and even all the monsters on earth are waiting for humans to make the final choice.
