Ultraman Any Key: Qiming

Chapter 446, Section 442: The Cancer of the Old Era, the Poisonous Gas Monster!

After leaving the GUTS Command Office, Kishida completely forgot about his promise to Yamanaka.

He combed his hair like an adult, put on a handsome suit, and went to see Akane Hirota again with a bouquet of flowers in his hand.

"Wow, so beautiful." Akane Hirota, lying on the hospital bed, accepted the flowers: "Mr. Kishida, you went to so much trouble to save my life, and you're still so kind to me."

Kishida maintained a gentlemanly demeanor on the surface, but was secretly delighted: "Don't worry about these things, I just hope you recover soon."

"I've had a lot of good news lately. Not only did I get to meet you, but our latest radar is also about to be completed."

During Qi Ming and Dan Moroboshi's expedition to the Monster Graveyard, Agamus, after learning about the series of monster and alien attacks on Earth, felt that Earth's radar was too weak.

Various aliens and cosmic monsters infiltrate Earth as easily as running wildly on the street at three in the morning; almost none of them are discovered.

Dr. Yujima, who invented the "Yujima rectifier," wasn't technically capable enough; I had to do it.

So he found scientists, led by Kishida, to modify and upgrade the radar, and the new radar was about to be put into use.

Upon hearing this, Akane Hirota's expression changed drastically: "Radar! Mr. Kishida, you created radar?"

The next moment, she suddenly looked pained, clutched her head, and screamed.

"Miss Akane, Miss Akane, what's wrong! I'll go find a doctor right away!" Kishida exclaimed anxiously.

"No need!" Akane Hirota said, forcing back her pain. "Mr. Kishida, please go back! Please go back! Let's not see each other again, please don't come again."

Upon hearing this, Kishida felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

What happened? Why did this happen?

Miss Qian and I were getting along very well these past two days, how could she suddenly be so heartless?

It hurts, it hurts too much!
But persistent pursuit wasn't Kishida's style. He suppressed his grief, turned around, and left.

"Please wait a moment." At that moment, Akane Hirota's voice came from behind. Kishida thought things had taken a turn for the better and immediately turned around.

"Please leave it here as a memento of me." Akane Hirota then took out a beautiful little golden ball.

Kishida reached out and took it with trembling hands, then returned to the base dejectedly.

The next morning, Kishida waited for Qi Ming in the cafeteria early and sat opposite him.

“Team member Qi Ming, Ms. Akane Hirota said she doesn’t want to see me again.” Kishida had a mournful face in front of Qi Ming.

Qi Ming replied without any surprise, "Hmm."

Kishida: "I don't know why either. We were having a nice conversation, and then suddenly... sigh."

He hoped that Qi Ming, who was supposedly able to predict the future, would tell him the answer, but Qi Ming's reply surprised him: "If you want to know, why don't you just ask her?"

Kishida hesitated, "But wouldn't that be impolite?"

Qi Ming: "There's one thing I'm sure of: she likes you."

Upon hearing this, Kishida felt the gloom in his heart instantly dispelled by the sunshine.

But then he started to wonder, if Miss Qian likes me, why doesn't she want to meet me?
What exactly is causing this? Could it be the "unacceptable truth" that Qi Ming mentioned?
He sat in the noisy cafeteria for a long time, just mustering up the courage to go to the hospital again to get some answers, when his PDI communicator sent him an emergency assembly message.

A new incident has occurred. It seems that a film crew lost contact while shooting in a remote mountain. Kishida and Saijo Nagi rush to the scene to investigate.

Upon arriving at the scene, they discovered that everyone was already dead.

Not only the people, but even the rabbits used for filming fell silent.

Everyone was covered in yellow "spots." Kishida examined them closely and found it strange: "There were no signs of a fight. It's as if they all died at the same time."

Saijo Nagi: "The camera is still working; perhaps it recorded what happened."

Back in the Victory Team's command center, everyone gathered together to watch the video recording. Everything seemed normal until suddenly, a strange yellow wind blew through.

The actors suddenly collapsed in excruciating pain, screaming and clutching their chests, before falling silent.

Huimei: "After the yellow smoke cleared, all these people died."

Dan Moroboshi: "Yellow smoke... what is that?"

Then, a large, powerful leg and a long tail appeared in the frame, accompanied by a sharp cry.

In the mountains: "So it was done by a monster. It must be the monster's body and its roar. That yellow smoke must have been what it spewed out to kill people."

At that moment, Torregia, in the guise of "Kirizaki," entered: "The autopsy of the deceased has been completed; the cause of death was inhalation of toxic gas."

Kishida: "Toxic gas!"

Dan Moroboshi: "I see. No wonder he died suddenly."

Hye-mi: "Its effects are so strong, it must be nerve gas."

A monster capable of releasing nerve gas could be extremely dangerous if it went berserk in a city.

At this moment, Staff Officer He Zhi also came in: "Poison gas was developed by the old Japanese army. It is a weapon called yellow poison gas. If you inhale just a little bit, you will die within ten seconds."

"It was originally designed to counter mustard gas and VX bombs, but it was later abandoned because it never had the opportunity to be used in actual combat."

Upon hearing this, Qi Ming roughly understood.

This is the content of episode 11 of "Ultraman Jack", titled "The Poison Gas Monster Appears".

"The Poisonous Gas Monster Appears" and "Love for the Stars" are both Kishida's personal episodes, cleverly put together.

Qi Ming looked at Kishida and saw that the more he listened, the uglier his expression became.

When he noticed Qi Ming's gaze, his expression became very unnatural.

He didn't go looking for Ms. Akane Hirota again, but instead drove back to his hometown immediately and started rummaging through his belongings.

He unearthed some top-secret documents, even his great-grandfather's diary.

It reads like this:

"On August 2, we received an order to stop the production of poison gas bombs. The 570 tons of poison gas produced so far will be disposed of as waste gas."

"The fact that this terrible poison gas was never used made me feel incredibly relieved."

"Although there was controversy over the location and method of abandonment, everyone still went out for a drink and smiled after a long time."

"The war is about to end, we are going to lose, it's finally coming to an end."

Having read this far, Kishida closed the diary.

He recalled the horrific scene of the film crew members who had died in the poison gas during the day, and slowly shook his head.

"No, it's not over yet."

"Some monster must have swallowed those poison gas bombs, which is why it gained the ability to release poison gas."

"The mistakes made by our ancestors must be made up for by me..."

He secretly made up his mind that even if it cost him his life, he would kill this poisonous monster with his own hands.

This is the first update. I'm not sure about the second one because it will be difficult to write.
