Ultraman: Invincible from Saving Tiga.

Chapter 351 Aobe Emi: I can do anything!
"this matter……"

Minoru Genkawa took a deep breath and spoke with difficulty, "This terrible incident was entirely caused by the personal arbitrariness of former Minister Yu Tsuchihashi. He concealed the truth and deceived everyone. The Earth Defense Force, and indeed the entire Earth, were completely unaware of it."

"Yes, it was him."

"We are victims too."

The wall fell and everyone pushed.

The subordinates who were just moments ago so respectful to Tsuchibashi Yu are now all trying to distance themselves from him.

Yu Tsuchihashi was thrust into the spotlight and became the sole culprit.

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar faces around him and listening to the cold accusations, he suddenly burst into manic laughter.

"Hahaha, you can't do this to me!"

He pointed at Minoru Genkawa, then at the fleet on the screen, as if possessed, “I’ve sweated for Japan, I’ve bled for this world, I’m a hero! You can’t hand me over to aliens!”

"I want to see the Emperor! I want to see the Prime Minister! I am a hero!"

His final wails echoed in the silent command post, sounding so powerless and so tragic.

The truth was revealed to the world in such a dramatic way.

After receiving an explanation and confirming that the crew of the "Cicada's Cry" were safe and sound, the V99 fleet did not pursue the matter further.

After all, they are peaceful travelers, not belligerent aggressors.

The spying incident triggered by the wormhole was also characterized as an "accident" caused by lies and misunderstandings.

An interstellar war that nearly broke out was averted through Lin Yu's simple and direct intervention.

However, V99 didn't make any demands, nor did it mention any execution or treatment of Tsuchihashi Yu. It simply stated that since that was the case, it would be left to be resolved internally by the humans. But it was a matter of humans dealing with humans.
You know everything.

They excel at internal strife.

The V99 fleet, along with its brethren, slowly retreated into the wormhole and disappeared into deep space.

The crisis is over.

Cheers of relief erupted from the command center.

However, Aoibe Emi felt no joy whatsoever.

She walked alone from the noisy command center to the tarmac.

The night wind was unusually cold.

She looked up at the starry sky, where everything had returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.

She learned the truth, who killed her father, and the crimes committed by Tsuchihashi Yu.

But what about her father?

Where did he go? Did he die in the covered-up "accident" three years ago, or... was he really swept into an unknown spacetime during that spacetime tremor?
In the end, she still couldn't find him.

A wave of disappointment and exhaustion washed over her like a tide.

She hugged her arms, squatted down, buried her face in her knees, and her shoulders trembled slightly.

Just then, a warm coat was gently draped over her shoulders.

Huimei was startled and looked up to see that familiar face, which always carried a hint of weariness and helplessness.

"team leader……"

Hiruma Gento didn't say anything, but simply squatted down beside her and handed her a steaming cup of coffee.

"Thank you for your hard work." He said softly.

Hui Mei took the coffee; the warm touch from her palm dispelled a trace of chill.

Captain, Captain, is a man who could be my father!
She looked at the man, then suddenly remembered something, and her eyes lit up.

"Captain, three years ago, during the explosion at Facility 66, your unit was the first to arrive at the scene for rescue, right?"

Gento Hiruma nodded, his expression somewhat complicated.

"then you……"

Huimei's voice trembled with anticipation, "You were there, did you... did you see anything unusual? Or did you find any clues left by my father?"

This is her last hope.

Gento Hiruma was silent for a moment. He looked into Emi's hopeful eyes, and the image of the sea of ​​fire and ruins from three years ago flashed through his mind.

He recalled the eerie blue light that flashed briefly at the center of the explosion, a light that didn't belong to this world. The light gradually expanded into a large hole, and he heard cries for help inside.

Without thinking, he rushed in to save people.

The legendary rescuer was so skilled that he didn't even dare to look at the other person to see if they were human.

He spoke slowly, his voice low and solemn.

"I did... discover something."

Yes, he discovered a savage of light trapped inside the wormhole, and then he reached out to rescue him, which was quite funny.

As Genji looked into Emi's hopeful eyes, the image of the inferno and ruins from three years ago flashed through his mind.

Huimei clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging deep into her palms. She held her breath, afraid of missing a single word.

"After the explosion, I saw a very bright light in the corridor on the first floor. The center of the light looked like a... a hole."

He carefully chose his words. He couldn't say that he had grabbed the hand of a savage of light from inside; that was too far-fetched and would only confuse the already distressed Huimei further. He could only selectively state part of the facts: "I thought someone was trapped inside, so I rushed over. But as I got close, the void disappeared."

"Then...what about my father?"

Huimei's voice trembled slightly, "Have you seen him? Or... his belongings?"

As Hiruma Gento looked into her eyes, which had been filled with hope but quickly dimmed again, he felt a pang of pity.

He shook his head with difficulty: "I'm sorry, Huimei. Apart from that strange hole, I didn't see Dr. Aoibe, and we didn't find any clues at the scene to prove that he was there at the time."

The last hope, like a candle flame blown out by the wind, was completely extinguished.

Disappointment and exhaustion, like icy seawater, instantly overwhelmed Huimei. She loosened her clenched fists, slowly lowered her head, and the warm coffee cup could no longer bring her any warmth.

In the end, there was nothing at all.

"not necessarily."

A slightly lazy and playful voice suddenly rang out behind the two of them.

"Who?!"

Both Hiruma Gento and Emi were startled and turned around abruptly.

A young man dressed in casual clothes appeared behind them at some point, leaning lazily against the hood of a ground support vehicle, his hands in his pockets, watching them with a leisurely air.

The night breeze ruffled the stray hairs on his forehead, and a smile graced his handsome face.

Lin Yu.

"you!"

He recognized him instantly, his heart skipped a beat, and his whole body tensed up. Although the Blaze inside him did not emit the frenzied battle roar as before, the oppressive feeling originating from the level of life still made his hair stand on end.

He instinctively shielded Huimei behind him, watching Lin Yu warily.

But then he relaxed, a complicated bitter smile appearing on his face.

"So you knew everything all along?"

He sighed deeply, his tone full of helplessness, "You've made such a big mess this time, I thought it would be hard to handle."

After last night's brief conversation and today's series of earth-shattering actions, he was basically certain that although the man in front of him acted in a domineering and unreasonable manner, he did not seem to have any malicious intent.

As for why this sense of trust arose, he couldn't explain it. Perhaps it was that mysterious intuition between men who both bore immense power.

"Captain? You know this person?"

Hui Mei peeked out from behind Hiruma Gento and looked at Lin Yu with a puzzled expression.

Her intelligence experts' minds were racing.

When did this man appear? Why didn't either of us notice him? He had a peculiar aura about him; he seemed harmless, yet he inspired instinctive awe.

More importantly, the captain's attitude towards him was very subtle.

Lin Yu didn't answer, but looked at Huimei with interest. Following their previous conversation, he slowly began, "Your father disappeared, the truth was covered up, and the only clue has been lost. You must be very sad, right?"

Upon hearing this, Hui Mei's face paled, and she subconsciously took a step back.

She didn't want to reopen her wounds in front of a stranger. She turned her head away and said coldly, "I don't want to talk about this."

“It really has nothing to do with me.”

Lin Yu readily admitted it, then changed the subject, a strange smile curving his lips, "But, don't you want to... see for yourself what really happened three years ago?"

boom!
These words struck Huimei's mind like a bolt of lightning.

She turned around abruptly, looking at Lin Yu in disbelief, her intelligent eyes filled with a storm of emotions.

To see it with my own eyes?
She is not a stupid person; on the contrary, her associative and information processing abilities far surpass those of ordinary people.

This man appeared out of nowhere.

The captain seemed to know this man and had some kind of trust in him.

This man knew Nexus and knew about her father.

Today, the giant named Nexus, in an incomprehensible way, summoned the V99 spaceship from twenty-four years ago from the past to the present.

At this moment, all the clues were instantly illuminated, like light bulbs that had been switched on.

An absurd guess, so bizarre it made her tremble, surfaced in her mind.

Huimei pointed a trembling finger at Lin Yu, then glanced at the captain beside her, her gaze frantically scanning back and forth between the two. She opened her mouth, but due to overwhelming shock, she couldn't utter a single word.

Seeing her worldview being shaken, Lin Yu smiled with satisfaction.

He straightened up from the ground support vehicle, straightened his collar, and introduced himself: "Don't be so surprised. I'm just an Ultraman passing by, remember that."

Ultraman?
Huimei's brain completely shut down.

Ultraman... how could he possibly be in human form?
Wait a minute, if he is Ultraman, Nexus, then it makes sense that he has the power to manipulate time and space.

The phrase "go and see for yourself" was not a joke.

He really...can do it!

After the initial shock came an even greater surge of joy and hope. Hui Mei, no longer caring about etiquette or restraint, rushed forward and bowed deeply to Lin Yu.

"Please! I can do anything!"

Ohnegay. Wadashi!
