Ultraman Any Key: Qiming

Chapter 449, Section 445. Kishida: Team member Qi Ming is truly a monster!

Meanwhile, in the area ravaged by poisonous gas monsters.

Kishida, inside Flying Swallow One, stared at Ultraman Tiga's face in front of him, speechless and his brain about to shut down.

Just now, his sweetheart, Akane Hirota, told him that she was not human, but an alien.

Now, Qi Ming directly transformed into Ultraman Tiga in front of him with his actions.

The impact on him was enormous.

It was so big that he began to wonder if he was dreaming.

The next moment, Tiga placed the Flying Swallow No. 1 in his hand on the ground. The vibration made Kishida realize the reality.

I wasn't dreaming; I was fully conscious, and what just happened was real!
I thought I was taking Qi Ming seriously by treating him like a "superman," but it turns out I still underestimated him.

He is actually Ultraman Tiga, who fought alongside us so many times!
Wait a minute... I think I know what he was doing when the monster appeared and then suddenly disappeared...

This isn't about slacking off; it's about directly confronting monsters up close!
Qi Ming turned to face the ferocious, yellow-smelling monster that was lunging at him with poisonous gas, and pondered once again the monster's performance in the original series.

The poison severely injured Jack, but once the poison gas was burned away by fire, it was nothing.

With that thought, Qi Ming formed an L-shape with his hands and released a simplified version of the Zepelion Ray without charging it up!

A silvery-white beam of light was released, striking the oncoming gas monster and delivering a devastating blow.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" The poisonous monster was hit hard, and its body trembled in pain.

The next moment, Tiga crossed his arms and spread them to the left and right to collect energy, releasing an L-shaped white beam of light.

The charged-up version of the Zepelion Ray, fire!
The Zepelion Ray, an extremely hot beam, pierced through the poisonous fog, igniting all the yellow gas before blasting it onto the head of the gas monster.

"Bang!" After suffering this fatal blow, it slowly fell down, then suddenly exploded, sending flames soaring into the sky.

The poison gas monster is confirmed dead.

A green light spot was absorbed into Ultraman's random key.

【Access/Conversion】.

Qi Ming chose to transform, then ignited the remaining yellow poison gas, and then deactivated the transformation.

He immediately glanced at his PDI communicator and nodded slightly.

As the poison gas dissipated and the monster perished, Kishida jumped out of the cockpit and immediately went to Qi Ming's side.

His face still showed shock, his mind was in turmoil, and he kept pinching his face, repeatedly confirming that he wasn't dreaming.

In his eyes, Qi Ming's handsome face with its unruly smile overlapped with Ultraman Tiga's divine face.

He had so much to say and so many questions to ask, and in his confused state, he managed to squeeze out a dry first sentence as his opening: "I thought Ultraman wouldn't just come up and unleash a beam of light right away."

The battle was indeed simple and brutal—Tiga immediately fired two beams of light, killing the monster.

Normally, he would have been surprised by Ultraman's change in fighting style and would have analyzed it carefully with his teammates, but in the face of such a heavyweight event as "Qi Ming's showdown," it was really insignificant.

Qi Ming: "Because I know the details of this monster. It has neither the ability to block or absorb energy, nor the speed to dodge light, so of course there's nothing to worry about."

Kishida nodded blankly: "Team member Qi Ming, you are Tiga... I originally thought that Ultraman was a god-like being."

Qi Ming smiled and said, "Disappointed?"

Kishida quickly shook his head: "No, I'm very happy. It turns out that Ultraman is not an unfathomable and elusive being, but someone I can see and touch, who also has joys and sorrows."

He cleared his throat, his expression solemn: "Don't worry, Team Leader Qi Ming, I understand why you're hiding your identity. I won't let you down, and I'll keep it a secret from the captain and the others!"

Qi Ming paused for a moment after hearing this, then said, "Um... the captain is Ultraman Seven, he already knew that." Kishida: "???"

His soul was struck again.

Are you Ultraman Tiga and the captain is Ultraman Seven?

Our small winning team has two Ultramen at the same time?
Kishida suddenly realized something: "You and Emi are so close, she wouldn't know too, would she? And the vice-captain... I won't be the last one to find out!"

Qi Ming: "It depends on whether you think the team member in the mountains is human. His thinking is too abstract, so it is necessary to keep his identity confidential."

Kishida: "..."

He thought about it and realized it made sense.

The team members in the mountains are senior and have superb shooting skills, but they are indeed not very "consistent".

Qi Ming: "Also, it's not appropriate for you to call me Ultraman Tiga. Actually, I have dozens of aliases..."

After he finished speaking, he gave a brief explanation, and Kishida, who had a high IQ and strong comprehension ability, was once again filled with surprise.

Oh my god!

That means you can not only transform into Ultraman Tiga, but also into Dyna, Gaia, Cosmos, Ultraman Mebius, Zoffy...

Not only that, but you also manipulated Zhong Baiyou, who made a second appearance that day?
And that Godler alien who wreaked havoc under the gates of hell, was that you too?
He actually was a monster!

Wait a minute... your combat frequency is terrifying!
He previously thought that the various Ultraman took turns fighting, which is why they didn't all rush in at once. Turns out, it was you who switched between multiple characters and played every single one of them?

Kishida: "Qiming, you're amazing... By the way, are there any other Ultraman characters I should know?"

Qi Ming: "Let's talk about that later. The important thing is now, look there."

He pointed to the sky, where Jugglus Juggler's Flying Swallow II was slowly descending.

"It seems the monster at the radar station has been dealt with as well." Kishida's face lit up with joy, but then he remembered something, and his joy faded considerably.

Could it be that Ms. Akane Hirota has already...

Qi Ming saw what he was thinking: "Don't worry, your sweetheart is fine. My comrades and I both dislike tragedies."

At the same time, Kishida's PDI communicator also rang, and a voice from the mountains came through:

"Team Leader Kishida, the radar station is fine now. Although a blue Ultraman was beaten and crawling all over the ground at first, Carmilla and Flying Swallow 2 took down the monster together."

"Your sweetheart has also been rescued. How are things on your end?"

Kishida glanced at Qi Ming: "Ultraman Tiga helped me and Qi Ming, and the monster was defeated."

After saying that, he hung up the call and bowed deeply to Qi Ming: "Team member Qi Ming, thank you!"

Qi Ming waved his hand: "We are all comrades fighting against the evil invaders together, there is no need to be so formal."

At that moment, the Flying Swallow II slowly descended, the hatch opened, and Hirota Akane appeared in Kishida's line of sight.

Her gaze darted away, and she seemed very uneasy. She had been prepared to sacrifice herself for righteousness, which was why she had boldly confessed her feelings to Kishida. She never expected that she would survive...

It was so embarrassing; she even had the urge to turn around and run away.

Finally, Kishida took a deep breath and walked towards her: "Ms. Akane..."

Qi Ming turned and left, giving the two of them some space alone.
