Ultraman: Invincible from Saving Tiga.

Chapter 353 Aobe Emi's Infiltration Mission as a Female Investigator!
Gifu City, Space Equipment Research Institute, Test Facility No. 66.

At the base's main gate, two heavily armed guards stopped Hiruma Gento and Aoibe Megumi.

"Stop! Show me your identification."

Hiruzen Gento remained expressionless, took out his identification from his pocket and handed it over. This identification had never been changed, but his position had been constantly changing, so he had actually accumulated quite a few identifications. In a sense, this could be considered the later dynasty's sword killing the officials of the previous dynasty.

The guard took the ID, glanced at it, then looked up at the man in front of him, a hint of doubt on his face.

This document looks strange, yet it also seems perfectly normal.

"Hiruma... Gento? I remember you, the ace of the rescue special forces, but weren't you supposed to be assigned to the core guards inside? When did you get out?"

Here we come, the first hurdle.

Stringman's heart tightened, but he maintained the composure befitting an ace. He pointed to Huimei behind him and casually made up a story: "Emergency transfer order. I'm going to pick someone up. This is a technical advisor sent by headquarters. I need to assist her in entering Facility 66 to inspect the equipment. The documents are here."

Hui Mei understood immediately and handed over a perfectly forged transfer order document, which even had Commander Genkawa's electronic signature on it.

Of course, she had just spent two minutes on the train making those changes.

Because she really did have this transfer order from her superior!
However, this transfer order was issued three years later by his superiors specifically to investigate the manager here, Tsuchihashi Yu.

By a twist of fate, Huimei never imagined that it could be used in this way.

It's very interesting.

The guard took the document and carefully checked it. The authorization and seal on it were flawless. He looked at the two of them suspiciously, but finally nodded.

"Alright, let's go in. But Facility 66 is a top-secret area, as you know, Gento."

"clear."

The two entered the base without incident, and Gento secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a thin layer of sweat on his back.

"Captain, your acting is pretty good." Huimei lowered her voice, with a hint of teasing.

"Stop talking, my heart is about to jump out of my chest."

Gento gave a wry smile. "Where to next?"

"Turn left, cross the helipad in Area A, and enter Building C. Father's lab is at the end of the third floor, room number 307," Huimei recited the directions almost without thinking.

Genji looked at her in surprise: "How do you know so much?"

“I’ve hacked into the system here and seen the building’s floor plan.” Hui Mei pushed up her red-rimmed glasses and spoke casually, yet he once again felt the terrifying power of this genius girl.

Following Huimei's instructions, the two moved through the base. Along the way, people in research suits or military uniforms greeted Xianren.

"Hey, Gento, what brings you back?"

"Gento-kun, how about we grab a drink tonight?"

He could only force a smile and try to brush it off with excuses like "there's an urgent mission." He felt like he was playing a stealth game of the highest difficulty, where one wrong step would lead to certain doom.

For a moment, even Aobe Emi, who had been serious and ready to officially begin her work as a female investigator, couldn't help but smile.

No, I have to hold it in, and I can't laugh.
"Pfft."

Huimei covered her mouth, her shoulders shaking as she secretly chuckled.

Gento's lips twitched, and he felt his cheeks burning. He lowered his voice, a hint of embarrassment in his voice, and asked, "Is it that funny?"

"No, it's not funny."

Hye-mi suppressed a laugh, but her crescent-shaped eyes betrayed her. "I just think, Captain, you've been as reliable as ever for ten years."

This compliment sounds more like sarcasm than anything else.

Gento sighed helplessly, ignoring the genius girl beside him who seemed to enjoy watching the drama unfold, and focused intently on navigating the complex base.

Just as the two were about to pass the B-section office building, a familiar voice came from around the corner of the corridor, causing Xuanren to stop abruptly.

"So why did the report I asked you to submit contain such a basic error? You even got the units of data wrong. Are you trying to make the entire project budget go wrong?"

It was a young but steady voice, with a hint of stern reprimand.

"I'm sorry, Captain, I'll fix it right away!" Another voice was filled with panic and apology.

Gento and Emi exchanged a glance, then tacitly slipped behind a nearby fire hydrant and quietly peeked out.

In the corridor not far away, a man named Hiruma Gento, wearing the same uniform but clearly several years younger, was giving serious instructions to a flustered newcomer in front of him.

The newcomer had a report on his tablet, and he was sweating profusely, getting more and more flustered the busier he was.

"Don't panic."

The young string player sighed and reached for the tablet. "There's no use rushing with such a small problem."

He quickly found the error and said calmly, "See, the problem is here. Just pay attention next time."

"Yes, Captain!" The newcomer felt as if he had been granted a pardon.

Just then, the young stringman's communicator rang. After listening to a few words, he frowned slightly.

"understood."

He hung up the call and handed the tablet back to the newcomer, saying, "I'm leaving this to you. There's been a small problem in Building C."

He patted the newcomer on the shoulder and uttered a sentence that sent chills down the spine of the person hiding in the shadows.

"I'll handle it over there." With that, the young string man strode confidently toward Building C, the research building they were heading to.

Looking at the back of that figure that looked exactly like his own, but was full of composure and sharpness, Gento felt his lips twitch again.

"oops,"

Hye-mi nudged him lightly with her elbow, her tone full of teasing, "So you were already this good, Captain, three years ago. You even have the same catchphrase."

"Stop talking." Xianren rubbed his forehead, feeling a wave of exhaustion.

He now finally understood how important Lin Yu's words, "Do not come into contact with the counterparts of this time and space," were.

This isn't just a troublesome chain reaction; it's practically a public execution.

After their younger selves had walked away, the two emerged from the corner and continued towards Building C, the research building.

After what just happened, the rest of the journey went incredibly smoothly.

Because the young string player had just finished his patrol, all the guards assumed that he, the "ace," was active in the vicinity. When they saw another "string player" walking over with a serious-looking woman, they didn't even bother to question him; they simply stood at attention and saluted.

They arrived at the third floor without any obstacles and finally stood at the entrance of Laboratory 307.

The heavy alloy gate was tightly closed, and two fully armed guards stood at the entrance, their expressions solemn, clearly indicating that the security level here was extremely high.

Gento glanced at his watch; the screen showed the time: 17:30.

“The explosion happened at 7:30 p.m.,” he said in a low voice, his expression grave. “That means we have two hours left, and we must hurry.”

Huimei nodded without saying a word, and took out a small, palm-sized precision instrument from her bag and attached it to the electronic lock on the door.

On the instrument screen, countless codes flashed by rapidly.

This scene immediately alerted the guards at the gate.

"Who are you?"

One of the guards stepped forward, his hand already on the hilt of his gun. "Technician, if you have the authority, why do you need to open the door with something like this?"

coming.

Stringman thought to himself, he had long expected this to happen.

He sighed, as if feeling helpless about what was to come.

Just as the guard focused all his attention on Huimei, another guard subconsciously turned his gaze towards her as well.

The string player moved.

His body, like a taut spring, suddenly exerted force. Without the slightest unnecessary movement, he took a step forward, his body suddenly sinking, and his right elbow, at a tricky angle, struck the first guard's chin precisely from below.

"Well!"

Without uttering a sound, the guard rolled his eyes and slumped backward.

The whole process was lightning fast and swift.

The other guard was so startled by the sudden turn of events that he instinctively reached for his gun and shouted for help.

However, he was fast, but Hye-mi was even faster.

At the same moment the stringman made his move, she had already given up on unlocking the lock. Her petite body nimbly ducked, and she crept up on him like a raccoon.

The guard felt a numbness in his wrist, which interrupted his action of drawing his gun. Then, a clever force came from his arm, and he staggered forward involuntarily.

Huimei smoothly moved behind him and delivered a precise chop to the back of his neck.

"Uh……"

The second guard followed in his companion's footsteps, collapsing silently to the ground.

The two exchanged a glance and saw a hint of approval in each other's eyes.

The cooperation is perfect.

"Done." Huimei picked up the instrument again, and a few seconds later, the heavy alloy door clicked open.

Pushing open the door, a peculiar smell, a mixture of ozone and metal, wafted out.

The laboratory was a huge space filled with all sorts of sophisticated instruments whose names I didn't know. Countless cables, like vines, hung down from the ceiling and connected to a huge spherical device in the center.

A man in a white lab coat, with slightly graying hair, was standing with his back to them, intently operating something on the control panel, muttering to himself.

"The frequency is incorrect; the model for spatial curvature is still flawed..."

He seemed completely unaware of the commotion at the door.

Hui Mei looked at that familiar figure from behind, her lips moved, but in the end she didn't say anything.

The man, on the other hand, seemed to have hit a roadblock after debugging for a while. Frustrated, he scratched his already messy hair, turned around, and prepared to look for something on the nearby documents shelf.

Then, he saw Huimei standing at the door.

The man froze, his face, which bore a resemblance to Huimei's, filled with astonishment.

No, is this my home? How come I see my daughter here?
