Ultraman Any Key: Qiming

Chapter 402, Chapter 398. Cerebro: How can aliens be so evil!
The high-frequency attacks over three consecutive days were all wiped out, seemingly deterring those enemies who were eyeing Earth with covetous intent. After the Violin Super Beast was destroyed, no monsters have appeared for five whole days.

It's now 6 o'clock in the morning, which makes Qi Ming feel quite comfortable.

"If only we had more people," he thought.

His transformation is subject to Star Gift limitations, and Fujimiya, as a human, has his limits. In order to avoid his body being worn down, he cannot fight continuously.

Victory's human form, Sho, has disappeared somewhere; Aizen Makoto is overseeing the "Demon-Sealing Tower"...

If only Gai could bring back a group of reinforcements from the Land of Light to help.

After finishing breakfast, Qi Ming left the cafeteria and sat at the table opposite Shan Zhong, looking at his phone and chuckling: "You can be a host even if you can't read, hahaha."

Kishida, who was standing nearby, leaned over and asked, "What's going on?"

Yamanaka turned the phone around and saw the male host from the financial channel: "Next is the exchange rate and... how do you pronounce this word again?"

He asked in a low voice, and the female host next to him said, "Pronounce it as 'gu' (股), and below are the exchange rate and stock quotes."

The male host nodded repeatedly, giving the camera an awkward but polite smile: "I'm so sorry, let me move on to the next point... What should I say?"

Kishida was taken aback. What was going on? Couldn't he even read his speech from the prepared script? Had he forgotten how to pronounce the word "stock" again?

The female host couldn't hold back any longer, snatched his prepared remarks and began reading: "The next point is, oh?"

She looked down at her prepared speech, equally bewildered.

Kishida: "?"

You don't know how to read a press release either?

Didn't you just teach the male host to read? You've already forgotten it yourself?

How can two young people have worse memories than elderly people?
Yamanaka shook his head and concluded: "The media these days really know how to create sensationalism. The financial channel is like a variety show."

Kishida nodded. Was the two hosts deliberately putting on this act to generate buzz? That made sense.

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

Meanwhile, Aihara Ryu, possessed by Cerebro, arrived at the Defense Force's No. 2 Military Factory along with Ryujun, on the orders of Military Officer Saijo.

Ryu Junya: "Why did they send us to the arsenal? Is it to help us test new weapons?"

Cerebro shook his head and remained silent.

Soon, the two were led to a vast space, and when the lights came on, a colossal warship appeared before them.

"This is!" Liu Chun was also shocked.

Military officer Saijo stepped forward, a smug look on his face.

"This is the Prometheus, a super weapon created by Dr. Kisaragi's team in the Defense Force."

"Its performance is far ahead of the rest of the world. The 'New Megas Cannon' mounted on it is even more powerful than Ultraman. It is simply the most perfect and strongest weapon!"

Serebolo, possessed by Aihara Ryu: "Is the new Magus Cannon related to TPC's Magus Power System?"

At this moment, Dr. Kisaragi Rui stepped forward: "The Magus power system is nothing special. If TPC can develop it, then of course our defense force can too."

"Well said!" Saijo felt a sense of satisfaction upon hearing this.

After the INS Attdis was unveiled, the defense forces also wanted to build a "carrier that can fly in the sky and in space".

The massive machine was built, but it lacked a power system to support its sustained flight. They wanted technical support from TPC, but these guys, who claimed to "exist to protect the Earth," were all talk and no action; in reality, they kept the core technologies a closely guarded secret.

However, he was pleasantly surprised by the self-development capabilities of Dr. Kisaragi Rui's team, who had just arrived, and immediately poured resources into them without reservation, fulfilling their every request.

Now, the Prometheus, carrying the hopes of the defense forces, has been built!

Liu Chun also became excited: "Is this Prometheus even stronger than TPC's Atedis?"

“Of course, come in and have a look around,” said Military Officer Saijo.

After entering, Liu Chun also asked, "Why can't I see the pilot's seat in the cockpit?"

Dr. Kisaragi Rui: "Because it's unnecessary."

She tapped a few keys on the keyboard, and a sealed capsule emerged from the cockpit.

Dr. Rui Kisaragi: "This sealed chamber can read execution data from the human brain and input it into the ship's main computer. The combat experience of excellent combatants can be correctly reproduced by Prometheus, thus achieving absolute victory."

Aihara Ryu, possessed by Cerebro, broke out in a cold sweat: "So, this warship needs to read and load our memories?"

Is this still available?

If this is scanned, wouldn't he be immediately exposed?
He was well aware of the scientific research capabilities of the defense forces and even humanity as a whole; a giant warship of this caliber could not be manufactured by humans in a short period of time.

This female PhD student named Rui Kisaragi is very likely a puppet manipulated by aliens.

How could these aliens be so evil!
On other planets in the past, Cerebro played the "self-destruction game" with great ease, and everything developed according to his plan. He thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of being the mastermind behind the scenes.

But after arriving on this planet, everything went wrong for it.

Because there are too many variables on this planet!
Aliens came one after another, and Ultraman appeared one after another. Compared to them, he seemed insignificant.

What to do? What to do? If he is exposed here, not only will his undercover career be over, but his life will also be over.

Cerebro's guess was correct; Dr. Kisaragi Rui is currently being manipulated by the Monera aliens, just like in the original Star Warrior series.

The core technology of the Prometheus was basically provided by the Monera aliens; they were merely using humans to create weapons that would destroy humanity.

“Alright, if you can surpass TPC in fighting invaders and eliminating monsters, then read my memories!” Ryu Jun also volunteered to help Aihara Ryu.

After saying that, Liu Chun lay down in the sealed chamber and began to have his memories scanned.

Watching this scene, Ruyue Rui, who was standing to the side, had a look of disappointment in her eyes.

If only we could read the memories of Ultraman warriors...

In the original series, the Monera aliens, who knew that Shin Asuka was Dyna, lured Shin Asuka into a sealed chamber, read Shin Asuka's memories, and analyzed Dyna's fighting style.

They also took this opportunity to implant a false memory that "Dyna was destroyed by the New Magus Cannon," causing Asuka to fear the power of the New Magus Cannon and flee immediately.

In this world, the Monera aliens also discovered that "Fujimiya" and "Himeya Jun" were the human hosts of Ultraman, but they dared not make any rash moves.

Firstly, because Fujimiya Himeya Jun and his group are neither reckless nor stupid, and they are not members of the defense force, making them difficult to approach.

Secondly, there's Qi Ming. According to intelligence, Qi Ming is "shrewd and calculating," and he's in cahoots with Ultraman. If he were to intervene, it might expose him prematurely.

Let's skip this step and analyze past Ultraman battle videos to roughly understand their fighting styles.

However, if the opponent is so many Ultramen... it feels like it might be a bit tricky.
