Ultraman: Invincible from Saving Tiga.

Chapter 329 Kisaragi Station
the other side.

Lin Yu seemed to guess what he was thinking, chuckled, and hung up the phone.

He knew that although Daigo and Director Sawai didn't usually interact much, the director always remembered this favor.

Moreover, Daigo ultimately passed the rigorous assessment through his own abilities, proving that the director's judgment was correct.

Therefore, as long as Daigo speaks up, Director Sawai will definitely give him a chance.

Of course, it's just an opportunity.

As the top leader of TPC, Sawai would never rashly put a "connected person" of unknown origin into a top-notch global combat unit like the GUTS.

Those who lack the necessary skills will be eliminated by harsh reality.

But...

A smile of anticipation, as if watching a good show, curled up at the corner of Lin Yu's lips.

Mebius, the youngest Ultra Brother in the Land of Light (though not yet), is an outstanding student from the Ultra Dojo, trained by Taro, and possesses incredibly solid skills.

This ability, if placed on Earth, would be like a max-level player blasting fish in a newbie village.

Lin Yu was eagerly anticipating the expressions on the faces of the Victory Team members when they saw the seemingly reckless young man display superhuman strength during the assessment.

Victory team control room.

Daigo hung up the phone and slumped into his seat with a look of utter despair, feeling that his future was bleak.

"What's wrong, Daigu?"

Seeing his appearance, Lina asked with concern, "You look terrible. Didn't three hours of rest make you feel better?"

After all, during the most difficult time, they didn't even have time to sleep. The branch's combat effectiveness was too weak. This was because that period coincided with the global demilitarization process, and the disbandment of the Global Defense Force was progressing steadily. Suddenly, they were attacked by monsters and needed continuous support from their headquarters, which was the first to complete combat readiness preparations.

Things are much better now. With the arrival of new fighter jets and the addition of ace pilots in various branches, the global combat capability has been greatly improved. This has finally freed their Far East headquarters from being obsessed with global map support and allowed them to focus their energy on homeland defense and investigation.

It can only be said that the anti-addiction system has been launched.

"No, it's nothing."

Daigo forced out a smile that looked more like a grimace.

Just then, the alarm in the command center suddenly went off.

"A new mission report has been received."

Ye Rui's voice came from the control panel. He quickly pulled up the relevant information and projected it onto the main screen.

"The report shows that there have been a series of missing persons incidents recently at Kisaragi Station in the Osaka area."

Ye Rui's expression was somewhat solemn. "Initially, it was just a few office workers commuting at night, but just yesterday, the two police officers who were sent to investigate also lost contact."

"Missing?"

Horii pushed up his glasses and leaned closer to the screen with a puzzled look. "How is this possible? Vital signs monitoring systems are now ubiquitous in major cities, and every citizen's information is connected to the central database. Unless they're dead or abducted by aliens, it's impossible for them to just disappear into thin air."

Hori-Holmes-Well, began his reasoning.

Upon hearing this, Daigo's heart skipped a beat, and cold sweat instantly broke out on his back.

He then realized that he seemed to have forgotten to register Mebius, also known as Hibino Mirai, with his human identity information and vital signs in human society!
If this is discovered, it won't be as simple as just being exposed; they might be arrested and studied as an illegal alien spy.

That's not the main point. The main point is that once Hibino Mirai is exposed, her whereabouts will definitely be traced. If the investigation goes all the way to the Cult of Light of Ultra, then it will be discovered that the whereabouts of Obik, Lin Yu, Maya, and even other people like Camilla will also be exposed, which would be very awkward.

"You can't say that."

Daigo forced himself to calm down and quickly changed the subject, "Does everyone remember the Crow People incident? They specifically captured humans to be slaves, and it was only Lin Yu-sang who stepped in to resolve it in the end."

He looked at the photos of the station on the screen with a worried expression: "I'm worried that these missing people may have also encountered something similar. Those police officers are probably in grave danger as well."

Upon hearing the names of Crowman and Lin Yu, everyone's expressions turned serious.

Xincheng clenched his fists and said angrily, "Damn it! It's those sneaky guys who arrest people again!"

"How dare they invade Earth! What arrogant fellows. They probably don't know that our valiant Victory Team is guarding Earth, you cosmic bumpkins."

On the screen, a photo of Kisaragi Station is displayed quietly.

It was a station that looked a bit old, but it was still operating normally. During the day, people came and went, and at night it was brightly lit. It didn't seem like there was anything wrong with it.

"Strange, it seems that the frequency of large monsters directly attacking the city has indeed decreased a lot recently." Horii stroked his chin and said something that everyone felt the same way.

"However, these kinds of strange and supernatural events are actually becoming more and more frequent."

"Whether the other party is a ghost or an alien, if they dare to run wild on our turf, they should be prepared to be beaten up!"

Deputy Captain Zongfang made the decisive decision: "We must send someone to the scene immediately to investigate!"

"Shinjo, Horii, you two will be in charge this time," Captain Megumi Kijima ordered.

"understand!"

Shinjo and Horii immediately got up and rushed to the hangar.

Daytime, Osaka, Kisaragi Station.

The Victory Flying Swallow II landed smoothly on the nearby temporary helipad. Shinjo and Horii changed into civilian clothes and mingled with the crowd, conducting a thorough search of the entire station and surrounding area.

However, at the end of the day, they had gained nothing.

The station's surveillance system showed no abnormalities; the missing person's movements ceased here, as if they had walked into an invisible fog and vanished into thin air.

As evening fell, the setting sun painted the sky a vibrant orange-red.

"Damn it, I can't find anything!" Xincheng plopped down on a bench outside the station, gulping down a mouthful of water with a distressed expression.

"Hey, this Ramune soda still tastes the same as before, it's pretty good."

“There are no clues at the physical level. The other party may have used spatial teleportation or some kind of mental interference technology.” Horii analyzed from the side, but he was also at a loss.

Just as the two were speechless and at a loss for what to do.

A familiar figure walked out of the station exit with a leisurely pace.

He was dressed in simple casual clothes, with a lollipop in his mouth, looking around like an ordinary tourist visiting Osaka.

Shinjo and Horii's eyes widened simultaneously.

The two looked at each other, both seeing shock and confusion in each other's eyes.

Lin Yu?

What's he doing here? "Lin Yusang?"

Shinjo and Horii shouted it out almost in unison, their voices filled with disbelief.

Lin Yu turned his head and saw the two of them. A familiar, slightly lazy smile appeared on his face. He shook the lollipop in his mouth and gave a mumbled greeting.

"Oh, what a coincidence."

"Coincidence? What's so coincidental about it!"

Shinjo rushed over in a few steps, looking him up and down. "What are you doing here? This is Osaka!"

"Come and have some fun!"

Lin Yu's answer was perfectly natural. He pointed to the sign of a takoyaki shop next to the station, "I heard that the takoyaki here tastes very authentic."

Play?
Shinjo and Horii exchanged a glance, a huge question mark simultaneously popping into their minds.

Nobody believes you're here to have fun!

Their understanding of Lin Yu had long surpassed that of ordinary friends.

This man may seem ordinary, but he exudes an air of mystery.

Xincheng will never forget how, in the surveillance footage, Lin Yu dealt with those Crowmen armed with high-tech weapons like swatting flies, one punch after another, cleanly and decisively.

Afterwards, TPC retrieved the bodies of the Crow People. After testing, the conclusion was that the instantaneous physical impact caused the disintegration of the body's tissues, and they were put to the afterlife on the spot.

Lin Yu himself, during the comprehensive physical examination at TPC, had all his data perfectly normal, making him just an ordinary human being with exceptionally good physical condition.

Horii, however, thought even deeper.

He recalled that in the Land of Tiga, Lin Yu faced three giant monsters and charged without hesitation toward the shrine that housed the important document "Taiping Fengtu Ji". Such a fearless act was something that ordinary people could not do.

Add to that the "Tiga Salvation Light Cult," which has countless followers worldwide and is said to be able to foresee the future...

A clear image gradually emerged in their minds.

That's right, Lin Yusang is definitely not some alien in disguise, he is a human!
He is a human psychic giant who has awakened some kind of extraordinary power, and is incredibly strong!
Thinking of this, the way the two looked at Lin Yu changed.

"Lin Yusang, stop joking."

Horii's tone became serious, "You must have discovered something, which is why you rushed over here, right?"

"You mean..."

Shinjou's expression had whetted his appetite, so he could only hold his breath and say, "There have been a series of disappearances here, even the police who went to investigate have disappeared. We suspect that aliens are behind it!"

"Oh, a missing persons case."

Lin Yu nodded, his expression becoming slightly more serious. "Tell me, do you have any clues?"

Horii immediately pulled up the data from the PDI and explained in detail the results of their investigation throughout the day. Finally, he helplessly shrugged and said, "All the clues ended at the station. It's like the person vanished into thin air. There's no physical trace left."

"Since every incident happens at night, why don't we wait until tonight to check again?" Lin Yu abandoned his slacking-off attitude and offered the most direct suggestion.

He paused, a wicked smile suddenly creeping onto his lips. Lowering his voice, he said in a sinister tone, "Speaking of which, you two, aren't you afraid of ghosts? In this old station, it's easy to run into some unclean things at night."

"ghost?"

Horii's face paled instantly, and he instinctively shrank closer to Shinjo, but he still spoke defiantly, "Nonsense! What nonsense are you talking about! I'm a scientist, I don't believe in those feudal superstitions!"

Xincheng rolled her eyes and shoved him away: "If you're scared, why are you standing so close to me!"

Night falls quickly.

Kisaragi Station has shed its daytime hustle and bustle, but it has not become deserted.

The colorful neon lights lit up, enveloping the entire station in a hazy glow.

The platform was filled with office workers who had finished their day's work. Most of them looked tired, looking down at their phones, waiting for the tram to take them home.

For this city that never sleeps, the nighttime rush hour is even more bustling than the daytime rush hour.

Lin Yu and his two companions found an inconspicuous corner and quietly observed the passing crowd.

"Sigh, there are so many people, how are we supposed to investigate?" Xincheng sighed, feeling at a loss for where to begin.

Horii held the PDI, his fingers flying across the screen, his brow furrowed, as if he were performing some kind of complex data comparison.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

"I found it."

Horii's voice carried a hint of excitement.

"what?"

Xincheng immediately went over.

"The common thread: all the missing persons have one thing in common!"

Horii pointed to the rows of data on the screen, "Before they disappeared, they all had records of taking the last train, but their names were not on the passenger list of the last train in the system records for the days they disappeared!"

Horii's eyes gleamed with wisdom as he made his final deduction: "In other words, they all came to the station, ready to catch the last train, but they didn't end up boarding it and disappeared at the station."

Lin Yu listened from the side, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly involuntarily.

As expected of you, Doraemon.

If you can find such a key point, and given more time, you might be able to deduce the entire plan of the Bam aliens to invade Earth.

However, Lin Yu himself was also filled with the urge to complain.

He was really curious about what these aliens were thinking.

Earth is already in such a mess, with all sorts of monsters and demons from the universe visiting every few days; its safety level is practically negative. Why are you still fixated on such a hot potato?

No, even if you take over the Earth, can you protect it?
You think you can rely on your so-called four-dimensional mechanical monster, Megachiras?
What Lin Yu found most incomprehensible, and even somewhat laughable, was the invasion plan of these Bam aliens.

Their plan was to first secretly capture Earthlings, and then use mind hypnosis to turn these poor office workers into free laborers, making them work hard for them in the fourth dimension to build that so-called ultimate weapon, the fourth-dimensional mechanical monster.

Once the monsters are built, they will be launched to invade Earth.

what?
A huge question mark slowly appeared in Lin Yu's mind.

Your alien technology has reached the point of fourth-dimensional space technology, yet you still have to capture ordinary human office workers and manually craft a monster? Have you Bam aliens lost the ability to do things yourselves?

Do you have some misunderstanding about the fighting power of a monster that can be created by a group of office workers on Earth who only think about commuting to work and making a living every day?
Are these aliens really still thinking straight?
