Ultraman Any Key: Qiming

Chapter 515 Homecoming Arc 511: Tsuburaya: The monster we filmed has come true?
Five days ago, the Royal Air Force's crushing defeat against The One shocked the entire nation.

This prompted a very quick response from Britain, a country known for its slow administrative efficiency.

They drew staff from various departments, including the UK Ministry of Defence, the Royal Society, Nature UK, and Public Health UK, to form a new department.

Its name is the Special Threat Assessment and Control Bureau.

After visiting Sir Humphrey, Qi Ming hailed a car and went to the department with Dao Long.

On the way, he took out his phone to continue checking the news and discovered that the world's "Five Great Philanthropists" had used various evil methods to fight against [The One].

The first to be affected was Japan's Tsuburaya Productions.

When "The One" appeared, Tsuburaya Productions executives, directors, and screenwriters were all stunned, questioning whether they were even thinking straight.

How did this thing actually come out?!

Although Tsuburaya's legal team submitted a "Disclaimer for Special Effects Works" to the Cabinet overnight, emphasizing that the company has never conducted biological weapons research and development.

The public relations department issued a statement on the official website, stating that "our work is purely fictional and the current phenomenon is unrelated to our company."

But of course they couldn't stay out of it, especially with The One sweeping through the main forces of various countries, unstoppable.

They were first thoroughly investigated, and then the US side had Tsuburaya's writers kill off "The One" directly, delivering a narrative blow.

But this trick didn't work; no matter how many times they tried to stab someone with a voodoo doll, The One was still alive and well.

The Russians on the investigation team pointed guns at the heads of the higher-ups and said, "Where have you hidden Shunichi Maki? Make him come out and turn him into Nextor like in the original series to kill this monster!"
The senior executives all cried at the time: "Shunichi Maki is fictional."

Russian: "Isn't that monster fictional too? It's all over the world now!"

At this moment, someone from Shenzhou reminded him that Maki Shunichi's abilities were insufficient, as he had not been able to completely kill The One in the original story, resulting in the Alien Beast Factor flying all over the world.

"We need to get some stronger guys so they can completely eliminate the alien beast threat."

So they had Tsuburaya Productions' scriptwriters make a short film. The short film's content was that [King of Ultra, Legend, Noah, and Saga] descended into their "real world" to kill [The One].

But it was still useless; the mysterious Four Odds weren't actually summoned, and the short film was still just a short film.

They were not giving up and continued to try, urgently recalling the human actors who played various Ultraman to transform.

From the original to Blaze, they even made many short films about Belial's female body.

But no matter how many times they invoked the gods, it was no use.

After trying various methods to no avail, the "Five Great Philanthropists" lost heart, recognized reality, and gave up their illusions.

"Wow, even Biaker has an imagination." Qi Ming was surprised after reading it and couldn't help but laugh.

But ordinary people living in this world don't find it funny. Most people feel that the world is about to end and live in constant fear.

Many people believe that the Earth is inevitably heading towards its "countdown" because humanity's armed forces are completely powerless against the monsters.

Some people believe in the government and think that if scientists work hard, they can create weapons that can fight against or even crush "The One," like the super mechs in "Pacific Rim."

However, judging from the comments section of the news, most people are still pessimistic.

"Wait, who are those people outside?"

At that moment, Qi Ming suddenly noticed a pair of people outside the car window dressed in dark purple robes, holding a television and repeatedly playing a live video of the military being breached by The One.

Is this a science popularization campaign to raise awareness of monster disasters?
The driver said, "They are from The One cult."

Qi Ming was taken aback. Using the name of the Primordial Alien Beast as a sect?

The driver said, "They believe that human development has gone against nature and angered the heavens. That's why the gods transformed into that monster to punish humanity and purify this dirty world."

"Only by giving away all their wealth and converting to their sect can they be saved and live to reach the purified new world."

Qi Ming thought to himself, "Isn't this a cult? 'Anyone believe in this?'"

Driver: "The One cult here already has hundreds of thousands of members, but I feel something is off."

Qi Ming said that it seems the majority of people are still sober: "You also think it's nonsense, right?"

The driver looked at him suspiciously and said that this kind of sect doesn't just exist in Britain, it exists in France, it exists in the United States, you could say it exists in every major country except China. Those leaders all claim to be able to communicate with "The One," so who is the real one?
Qi Ming: “…”

The driver continued, "I've looked it up online. The cult 'The One' in South Korea is already planning to kidnap people and sacrifice them to that monster to prove their loyalty. I don't think the cults in South Korea are as reliable as the ones here."

One is just trying to squander his fortune, while the other is already risking his life—it's a race to the bottom, isn't it?

Qi Ming: "Don't the South Korean authorities care? Why aren't they deploying airlift troops this time?"

Driver: "I've heard that many officials there believe in this stuff, and... what if it's true?"

Qi Ming remained silent for a long time, and then he gradually came to understand.

Although the attack on the city only killed a few hundred thousand people, its ever-growing strength and impeccable performance have spread despair to billions of people around the world.

Those who believe in religion take a chance and think that this thing has wisdom.

When it is about to destroy the world, it might see its own piety and fanaticism and spare its life.

"We must use hope to break this despair..." Qi Ming looked at the Ultraman random button on his wrist.

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

Soon, Qi Ming got out of the car and arrived at the newly established Special Threat Assessment and Control Bureau.

Victor, who was transferred from the Ministry of the Interior to serve as the director, was watching Ultraman in his office at that moment.

After all, "The One" has already appeared; who knows if other monsters will emerge?
Knowing the signs and characteristics of all the monsters that appear will provide valuable information, allowing you to formulate countermeasures.

This is what is known as "know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle." Besides him, all the other members were doing the same thing—their job consisted of enjoying the air conditioning and watching Ultraman.

Director Victor first watched "Ultraman" and "Ultra Seven" and was amazed.

Although the special effects are poor due to its age, the narrative pacing and plot are really good, and many plot points are very meaningful, leaving a lasting impression.

No wonder it's a global phenomenon, loved by a bunch of kids; this adult version is pretty good too.

He was captivated by Dan Moroboshi's charisma at the end of "Ultraman Seven" and wanted to continue watching his story.

After searching online, he learned that Dan Moroboshi would play the second male lead in the later Ultraman Leo series, so he skipped directly to Leo to watch.

As he watched, Director Victor was completely bewildered.

Is this for real?

Are Ultraseven and Ultraman Leo really produced by the same company?

How could Dan Moroboshi be such a cruel person! Does Tsuburaya Productions even understand Seven?!
After witnessing the annihilation of the entire MAC team in episode 40, Director Victor felt it was necessary to take a break.

Perhaps the prevailing ideas were different decades ago, so I'll take a look at some modern Ultraman works to slow down.

He asked his subordinates for their opinions, and they said, "Ultraman Orb is pretty good, you can watch that."

Director Victor searched online and found "Ultraman Orb," right? There also seems to be a story called "The Beginning," which is set before the TV series started.

Then I'll definitely look at them in chronological order, so I'll start with "The Beginning".

After reading it, he was completely devastated.

The new one was indeed more powerful than the old one; the twelve episodes of the original beginning caused him more psychological damage than the first forty episodes of Leo.

This job demands an extremely high level of psychological resilience...

This is torture! Is this even meant to be shown to people?! Why doesn't Amaterasu just die already?!

So, Director Victor wanted to change his mood, so he decided to catch up on the latest Ultraman series.

So he went to watch "Ultraman Omega"... and was already thinking of resigning from the cabinet so they could find someone better.
