Ultraman Any Key: Qiming

Chapter 333, Section 329: Aizen Makoto [Kai], Gondo Mi Asuka (A super long chapter of 5,000 words)

(PS: There was a mistake in the previous chapter. Aizen Makoto was not kidnapped; only Himeya Jun was kidnapped. This has been corrected.)
"I'm back!"

The moment that voice was uttered, everyone's spirits lifted.

That voice, that tone, it's Qi Ming, there's no mistake!
Qi Ming, who was always spirited, always stood tall, never compromised on mistakes, and could shoulder great responsibilities, is back!
The Victory Team, who had just been sighing and complaining, suddenly changed their demeanor. Qi Ming's return was just in time! They'll soon show those foreign country bumpkins how formidable Qi Ming's team!
Even the most seasoned and steady staff officers felt reassured upon hearing that Qi Ming had returned.

Despite his seemingly ordinary appearance, he possesses superhuman strength and speed, uncanny predictive abilities, and even connections that allow him to command Ultra Warriors!

TPC's pillar of strength, everyone's backbone!

"How is everyone doing?" Qi Ming asked in a calm tone. He was in a good mood, back in familiar surroundings.

"Thank goodness, I..." Hui Mei was about to say something when Saijo Nagi snatched the microphone away: "Team Leader Qi Ming, the situation is urgent!"

She quickly recounted what had just happened, immediately causing Qi Ming on the Szak spaceship to freeze in shock.

Half an hour ago, TLT kidnapped Jun Himeya, who was unable to resist after the battle.
Damn it, I specifically shared the beam technology that Hikari developed, which could completely annihilate the alien beasts, just so they would deal with the American alien beasts properly and not have any strange ideas.

As a result, they still took advantage of my absence to carry out their plan.

Am I being too lenient, or are they just going through a rebellious phase?

"Understood, I'll be right there." Qi Ming replied decisively.

“I’ll go with you. Only I know the location of TLT’s North American headquarters,” Saijo Nagi said firmly.

Qi Ming: "Okay, are you at the sea base? I'll be right back and unload some cargo. I'll come over in a red spaceship. Just remind the staff officer not to be too nervous."

Staff Officer He Zhi coughed to make his presence known: "We're listening!"

"That's good." Qi Ming took out his phone to use map navigation and instructed Captain Senluo in the driver's seat to fly this way.

“Okay.” Captain Shinra nodded; he had just overheard Saijo Nagi’s words: “Do you need any help?”

Qi Ming: "No need. You guys keep an eye on the Queen and don't let her do anything reckless. I, [Kai], and Jugglus will go with you."

The Ultra Warriors fought to the very end to protect people from monsters, but TLT took advantage of their misfortune.

This is no ordinary organization; we must take decisive action!
I'll send Orb and Jugglus over right away and send you all to heaven one by one!

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

Soon, the Szak spaceship landed at the top of the sea base, where the two chief strategists and their subordinates were waiting. Those qualified to greet Qi Ming were all powerful figures.

"What an impressive spaceship! Has China developed to this level?"

Gondo was amazed. Seeing the red paint on the Szak spaceship, he subconsciously assumed it was a weapon from China.

"Long time no see, I've missed you all!" Qi Ming led everyone to jump off the spaceship one by one. The TPC members were stunned when they saw Qi Ming leading this group.

Did you guys just come from a movie set?

What are these clothes? The costumes and props on this movie set are terrible. They're not only cheap, but also nonsensical.

Upon seeing Queen Amaterasu, the members of the GUTS team could no longer contain themselves.

Ma'am, is there really nothing wrong with what you're wearing? Wearing your bra on the outside?
When Captain Senluo and his group saw the scenery of the TPC sea base, apart from Qi Ming, the Earthlings' clothing and expressions were also full of curiosity.

The technological development on this planet is completely different from that of Ganon.

After Qi Ming came down, he walked over to Staff Officer He Zhi first, opening his arms as if to hug him.

This delighted Staff Officer He Zhi, who seemed to have more confidence in my abilities than Staff Officer Quan Teng.

He immediately stepped forward and hugged Qi Ming with open arms. Just as he was about to exchange pleasantries and ask about his recent life, he heard Qi Ming lower his voice and say, "Get me a completely silenced pistol."

Staff Officer He Zhi's expression froze for a moment, then he saw the completely silenced pistol.

You're already back and already in work mode...? You're not really planning to go to American territory to rescue people, are you?
However, if it's Qi Ming... it's not impossible.

We can trust him; Qi Ming's true abilities may be even greater than what we see.

Thinking of this, Staff Officer He Zhi made a few hand gestures to Minister Yin of the Security Department, who immediately understood and left.

But is it really okay to infiltrate the heavily guarded TLT base to steal people? Is a silenced pistol really enough? Shouldn't you bring a submachine gun...?

Qi Ming gave Staff Officer He Zhi a tight hug before letting go; the hug was full of genuine emotion.

Having spent so long on Ganon and interacted with Queen Amaterasu Agamous for so long, he felt that Advisor He Zhi was truly handsome and refined.

Seeing Qi Ming's enthusiastic attitude towards He Zhi, Staff Officer Quan Teng felt a little jealous.

Is He Zhi really that highly regarded? But it's probably my turn next, isn't it?

He was about to step forward when he saw Fei Niao lying unconscious on the stretcher that Kai was carrying, and he was immediately stunned.

“Ugh… this person is…” Gondo looked like he’d seen a ghost.

Upon seeing this, Qi Ming's heart stirred: "Do you know him?"

Gondo: "I don't recognize him, but the clothes he's wearing..."

He said he had always felt that the Victory team's uniform was not good enough and lacked any sense of authority, so he designed his own uniform and planned to change it later.

"What a coincidence! The clothes he's wearing are almost exactly the same as the one I designed. How could this happen!" Quan Tou circled Asuka a few times, clicking his tongue in admiration.

Qi Ming: "You can ask him yourself when he wakes up."

He then looked at Musashi, whom Jugglus was carrying; the latter was also unconscious.

The red ball's power was too great, and the backlash was extremely strong; neither of them has been able to regain consciousness to this day.

"Let Superman A-Guang take a look at them. I need them to recover their fighting strength as soon as possible," Qi Ming said to Moroboshi Dan.

Dan Moroboshi: "I understand. How have you been these past few days? I'm sure even if you're not here, you're fighting for justice."

Qi Ming: "Pretty much, but the situation is urgent right now. Let's talk in detail when I get back."

Dan Moroboshi nodded with satisfaction. He was increasingly pleased with Qi Ming's growing sense of belonging to this world, and he had inspired Qi Ming's sense of justice.

Dan Moroboshi: "Okay, by the way, what's wrong with this girl's leg?"

Queen Amaterasu was using a cane to move around, which made him a little concerned.

Could it be that this girl was harmed by evil forces, which is why she is crippled in the leg? Qi Ming saved her at the critical moment and brought her to TPC for treatment.

As expected of the person I chose...

The next moment, Qi Ming replied, "I interrupted."

Dan Moroboshi: "???"

You...me...her?

Dan Moroboshi was speechless for a moment.

At this moment, Saijo Nagi, who was ready to set off again, came over and urged Qi Ming to depart.

Qi Ming: "No need to rush, we'll definitely make it."

The Szak spaceship is designed for interstellar travel, so it's definitely faster than the Night Raid's aircraft.

On the other side, Kishida and Yamanaka had just focused their attention on Miyuki and Tachibana, who were dressed in brightly colored clothes, and felt that these people were a bit strange.

Is that ethnic minority clothing? I've never seen it before.

He naturally moved closer to Qi Ming:

"You've been visiting relatives for far too long! Who are these people? Could they be your relatives?"

"What does bringing TPC mean? You don't mean you want them to work for TPC, do you?"

Upon hearing this, Quan Teng and He Zhi immediately looked over with great interest.

Qi Ming planted his cronies in TPC, could it be that he intends to...?

The next moment, Qi Ming sneered: "This is nothing. I'll arrange for the village's stray dogs to be police dogs at TPC in a while."

Yamanaka chimed in, "I heard from Kishida that Shenzhou gets set up on blind dates when she goes back to her hometown. Could she be your blind date?"

He pointed at Queen Amaterasu, and Qi Ming immediately lost his composure.

He didn't know what expression to make.

He immediately put on a smiling expression: "Mountain team member, do you know what the Tathagata Palm is?"

Shan Zhong paused, sensing something was wrong, and a chill ran through him: "I don't know."

Qi Ming was still smiling: "You'll know when I get back."

Yamanaka sensed the dangerous smile and the hidden threat in it, and immediately retreated behind the Victory Team members: "I'm absolutely certain that he is Qi Ming, the real Qi Ming, Qi Ming has really returned!"

Upon hearing this, Hui Mei's expression faltered. She and Qi Ming exchanged a glance and smiled at each other, a smile that spoke volumes. Qi Ming walked up to Advisor Quan Teng and pointed to Queen Amaterasu, whose movements were strained and whose expression was one of pain as she walked.

"She is a very dangerous person and must be kept under close surveillance."

"Otherwise, the entire Earth, and even the entire universe, could suffer."

Staff Officer Gondo exclaimed in surprise: "Is it really that exaggerated?"

What kind of garbage did you find during your family visit?!
Qi Ming replied quickly, "That's how exaggerated it is. I'll explain in detail later. Saving lives is the priority right now."

When the topic of rescuing people came up, Staff Officer Gondo's face turned serious: "Although we don't know what the relationship is between that gentleman in the leather jacket and the Ultra Warriors, he is still one of our citizens. Please, Captain Qi Ming, make sure he comes back."

A human who might be able to transform into Ultraman... This is extremely important!
In contrast, even though they didn't understand the situation, they decided to treat Qi Ming and his group as guests for now—but it was rather strange to entertain guests in a prison.

Qi Ming replied firmly, "Definitely."

At this moment, Minister Yin returned with the "goods" that Qi Ming had requested.

He pretended to brush past Qi Ming casually, but in reality, he shoved a silenced pistol into Qi Ming's hand in an instant.

Qi Ming took it instantly, felt it, and then hid it in his pocket.

Someone has to be held accountable for this. He needs to make TLT know the price for daring to intrude on his territory.

“Alright, let’s get going,” Saijo Nagi said, boarding the Szak spaceship first.

After handing Asuka and Musashi over to Dan Moroboshi, Jugglus Juggler and [Kai] also turned back.

I didn't expect to have a mission so soon after arriving on Earth.

Just as Qi Ming was about to follow, Hui Mei suddenly called out to him.

"Team member Qi Ming... be careful." Unlike Yamanaka and Kishida, Hui Mei didn't jump around and express her joy when he returned.

She had been standing quietly to the side, watching him with her reddened eyes.

Qi Ming sensed something and also gave a bright smile: "Don't worry, I've been very careful. I can't afford to get hurt, because I need to come back alive to see everyone."

After saying that, he nodded to Huimei, the hatch closed, and the Szak spaceship sped off!
"Is this the direction?" Jugglus asked from the driver's seat.

“That’s right, I know America very well!” Qi Ming said.

Feeling the speed, Saijo Nagi breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed she could really catch up.

"Where exactly did you go... Who are these people... Never mind, let's talk about what happened on Earth first."

Saijo Nagi was very good at prioritizing and quickly recounted what had happened after Qi Ming left.

Qi Ming felt a headache coming on when he heard that not only Himeya Jun, but also Aizen Makoto had lost his fighting ability.

I've only been gone for thirteen days, how did it get like this...?

It seems that it was indeed the right decision not to take Dan Moroboshi and Hikari back to the Land of Light. If this is the case after only thirteen days, then the Earth would explode during the round trip to the Land of Light.

"It's alright, it's alright. At least I'm back, nothing will happen to me now," Qi Ming said after calming himself down.

Saijo Nagi nodded: "That's what everyone thinks too."

"Nexus...is he also an Ultra Warrior?" Jugglus Juggler and [Kai] had just listened intently to the conversation between the two.

Qi Ming explained: "Nexus, a light that shines brightly through inheritance, will become Ultraman Noah once it evolves to its ultimate form."

The moment the name Ultraman Noah was mentioned, both Jugglus Juggler and [Kai] were invigorated.

Those of them who operate in space have certainly heard the legend of Ultraman Noa!
The legendary light, the superman from Ultraman, Noah!
Does that mean Noah is here...? This planet is far more extraordinary than just a hidden dragon and crouching tiger.

Jugglus Juggler: "What did you mean by 'Aizen Makoto lost his transformation ability'? Was he an Ultra Warrior before?"

Saijo Nagi recounted the events, still filled with self-reproach: "If it weren't for me, he wouldn't have..."

Kai's eyes lit up after hearing this: "This Aizen Makoto-senpai did a great job. He gave up his light without hesitation in order to save people."

"Is it really that good...?" Jugglus Juggler had a different opinion.

He felt that since Aizen Makoto had lost his ability to transform, his power would be greatly reduced when the next monster attacked.

Without the protection of Ultra Warriors, tens of thousands of people could die in the disaster.

There are so many people and two people being held hostage; it's clearly an unequal distribution.

This is Jugglus Juggler's way of thinking, completely different from [Kai].

Kai continued, "Yes, I think he must be feeling terrible, since he won't be able to transform to protect others anymore."

Qi Ming clapped his hands: "Then you should comfort him properly. He's your admirer."

Kai was stunned: "Worshipper, mine?"

He's never been to Earth, so how could he have admirers?

Qi Ming was writing furiously on a piece of paper with a pen in hand. He said, "It's okay if you don't understand the situation. Just read what's on the paper first. Remember, it has to be sincere."

He then took out his phone and initiated a video call with Aizen Makoto.

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

On the other side, Aizen Makoto was sent back to Aizen Technology.

He lay on the hospital bed, his whole body wrapped in bandages, looking as if his soul had been taken away, staring blankly at the ceiling.

Just then, his robot, Darling, appeared: "Someone is calling you!"

"It doesn't matter anymore..." Aizen Makoto looked utterly dejected. "Himeya-san was just taken away like that, and I could only watch helplessly. I couldn't protect anything... Waaah..."

Darling reminded him, "It's Mr. Qi Ming calling!"

Aizen Makoto, who had just looked dejected, immediately perked up upon hearing Qi Ming's name: "Qi Ming? Is it Qi Ming? Is it really Qi Ming? He's back! Quickly, bring him in!"

He tried to sit up, but he had no strength at all, though his spirits remained high.

Great! The invincible team member Qi Ming is back! He will definitely use his unbeatable Ultraman random key to teach those villains a lesson. We are saved!
The next moment, the video call connected, and Aizen Makoto quickly looked at the screen.

But Qi Ming's face did not appear; instead, another man appeared, looking youthful and somewhat awkward.

he is……

Yes……

Yes!
Am I dreaming?!

Aizen Makoto froze, his eyes, covered by gauze, filled with immense shock—and hope.

Is it him? Is it really him? Please, it must be him.

[Kai], feeling a little awkward under that gaze, swallowed nervously. He looked at the paper Qi Ming was holding up behind the camera and read aloud:
"Makoto Aizen, hello. I just heard about you from Ms. Nagi Saijo."

"You did a great job, you deserve the title of Ultraman Warrior, I'm so proud of you!"

The second sentence was pronounced with great emotion by the character 【凯】.

Because he genuinely felt that it was absolutely right and worthwhile for Ultra Warriors to sacrifice themselves to save others.

Upon hearing this voice, Aizen Makoto was certain.

I am not dreaming.

It really is Senior Hong Kai!
It really is Senior Hong Kai on the other side! I'll never forget his voice and his tone! I became a hero by following in his footsteps!

Senior Hongkai affirmed my abilities, and he was proud of me!

The next moment, Aizen Makoto could no longer suppress his emotions. His forced strength crumbled at that moment, and all his pain, self-blame, and resentment turned into a torrent of tears.

He burst into tears.

In front of the figure he had been searching for and admired, he no longer needed to suppress himself; he could freely express his emotions and show his true self.

"Are you alright? Are you alright? Senior Qi Ming, what should I do!" Seeing the person he was comforting start crying, [Kai] felt he had messed up and became flustered.

"She's been crying like this, how can she be alright?" Jugglus looked over, his face appearing on the screen.

Third update, 5,000 words.

Today's writing is nearly 12,000 words.

This chapter was originally supposed to be tomorrow's update, because I really haven't figured out how to save people, which would be very exciting.

However, I should still be able to update tomorrow. I'll get some glue this afternoon and think it over carefully.
