Ultraman Any Key: Qiming

Chapter 158 154. Little Angel and Little Beast

Reiko pushed Miko's wheelchair and took her to the hospital rooftop.

"The scenery here is really nice, Meiko. Where do you want to go after you recover?" Reiko asked.

Meizi lowered her head and said in a low voice: "I don't want to go anywhere..."

The cheerful look in front of the camera means that he doesn't want the adults to worry about him.

In front of the kind Reiko, she took off her disguise and revealed her confusion and fear about the future.

Lingzi thought for a moment and said softly:

“When I was little, I was afraid to talk to other people.”

"No matter how hard I try, I can only make a tiny sound, like a mosquito."

"My classmates laughed at me. I was so angry that I thought I would never speak again in my life."

Meizi looked up curiously: "Then why did you become a reporter?"

Lingzi smiled and said, "I don't know. Maybe it's because I didn't say it at that time, and now I want to make up for it."

Meizi thought thoughtfully: "So that's how it is..."

Lingzi squatted down beside her and said gently, "So, Meizi, don't worry anymore. Think more about happy things. This way, you will feel warm."

Miko nodded. With Reiko's guidance, she no longer had that melancholy expression, and her eyes began to light up - that was the expectation for the future.

"Feeling warm..." Fujimiya murmured at the corner of the rooftop stairs, who appeared out of nowhere.

He was also attracted by the green rain, found out about the hospital, and coincidentally heard the conversation between the two.

At this time, Qi Ming was still checking several abandoned factories near hospitals.

..............................

"Deputy Captain, have you found anything?" Kishida casually placed the red flowers that Kana gave him on the table.

"No, why did you take so long?" asked Nishijo Nagi.

Kishida sighed: "That kid... isn't very smart."

He sat on the bench and recounted what had happened.

Nishijo Nagi, who was not very good at dealing with children, could understand his madness: "You've worked hard, you should take a rest first."

Yamanaka came over and said, "With facial recognition being so advanced these days, Huimei should be able to find Kana's biological mother easily."

Kishida disagrees:
"Forget it. How bad must a woman be to throw away her own flesh and blood?"

"Kana is better off living with the Iwatsubo family. I can tell they truly love children."

Nishijo Nagi frowned: "Could it be that because of her poor life, she had to abandon the child?"

Yamanaka shook his head: "Then we must not let that child go back. It will only harm her."

Kishida stood up and said, "I hope Kana can grow up carefree in her new home. Okay, I've rested enough. Let's look for clues again... Hey, what's that sound?"

A green vine emerged from the soil at some point, as if it had consciousness, and its end was connected to the strange red flower placed on the table in the mountains.

The next moment, the strange red flower bloomed with light and made a sound like a baby crying.

It suddenly wrapped around Kishida, who struggled hard to break free, but for a moment he couldn't break free.

Fortunately, Yamanaka and Nishijo Nagi reacted quickly and rushed to help. They took out their Victory Hyper guns and shot the lower end of the vine with lasers, burning it in two.

After the connection with the vines was severed, the light of the strange red flower instantly went out. It no longer exerted force to wrap around Kishida, nor did it make the sound of a baby crying. It lost its vitality.

"Swish." The vines, having suffered a loss, retracted back to the ground, and Kishida quickly freed himself from the vines. He had a hunch that if Yamanaka and the vice-captain weren't here, he might be finished.

"What is this thing? It actually attacks people. Kishida, are you sure this is a thank-you gift from the kid?" Yamanaka picked up the red flower that no longer responded.

Kishida's face looked grim:

"Maybe it's the vine's fault. The flowers went crazy after connecting to the vine."

"It's also possible that Kana doesn't know there's something wrong with this flower. Little girls always like flowers."

Although Kana exuded a strange aura from their previous interactions, he still didn't want to believe that this child would want to harm him.

Nishijo Nagi was relatively calm and began to make arrangements as the vice-captain:
"Yamada, take the flower and analyze it to find out what it is made of."

"Kishida, go contact that Mrs. Iwatsubo and ask her where Kana got her flowers from."

The two agreed at the same time, and Kishida took out his phone.

Mrs. Yanping answered the phone and said, "Oh, that's the young man from before, what's up?"

Kishida: "Can you tell me where Kana's flowers came from? There's something wrong with them."

Mrs. Yanping: "I don't know what flowers are or aren't. Sorry, I'm going to take a nap now. Let's talk about it when I wake up."

After saying that, he hung up the phone directly.

Kishida: "...Hey, hey, hey! Damn it, I'm dead."

Nishijo Nagi frowned: "Kishida, go over there now and explain it to him face to face, as soon as possible!"

"Yes." Kishida set off.

On the other side, after Mrs. Iwatsubo hung up the phone, she found Kana passing through the living room holding red flowers.

"Kana, you've been playing outside all morning today. You must be tired. It's time for a nap." Mrs. Iwatsubo said in a gentle tone.

Kana: “But the flowers need watering.”

Seeing the flowers in her hand, Mrs. Iwatsubo felt something in her heart and thought of Kishida's reminder just now.

Although she didn't believe there was anything wrong with the flowers her daughter was holding all day, the other party was a member of the Victory Team after all...

Forget it, I'd better believe it a little. It would be bad if the wild flowers hurt the child.

"Throw it away. Wait a minute, mom will buy you more beautiful flowers." After saying that, she snatched the flowers from Kana's hand and handed them to the maid beside her.

The maid didn't think much about it and threw it into the trash can. Mrs. Yanping went to her bedroom to rest with peace of mind.

Five minutes later, another vine emerged from the ground and connected to the strange red flower in the green trash can.

It was lit again, making a sound like a baby crying, and slowly sneaked into Mrs. Yanping's bedroom.

"This is..." Looking at a flower rushing towards her like a snake, Mrs. Iwatsubo showed a look of fear.

"Help, help, someone come quickly..." She had just shouted, but the vines quickly wrapped around her whole body and released electric shocks to paralyze her.

Mrs. Iwatsubo was unable to move, an expression of horror frozen on her face.

The next moment, a straw stretched out from the strange red flower at the front and inserted into the human's ear canal to suck blood.

Kana appeared outside the window at some point, and she watched helplessly as Mrs. Iwatsubo, who was very kind to her and loved her like her own daughter, was sucked dry of all her blood and died.

She was not afraid, nor did she call for help. Her expression was so calm that it was terrifying.
