Ultraman Legend of the Light Chaser

So Bao Lücao was smoking in the hall waiting for someone when he opened the door and saw a hero covered in gold tattoos carrying his electric scooter and striding in with great fanfare. Before he could even register what was happening, the sound of the scooter hitting the ground jolted him awake.

Upon closer inspection, he realized that the Golden Hero was Jun Sakuma.

Jun Sakuma pulled out the stone-like object, turning it on and off while muttering, "How do I turn this off? Hmm? Why is the 'circuit board' still here..."

In the end, Jun Sakuma still couldn't figure out how the "circuit board" disappeared. When Horokusa's cigarette burned his hand, he hissed and met Jun Sakuma's eyes as he turned his head at the sound. They looked at each other in silence.

……

[You're the best!]

The result of staying up all night was that he didn't wake up until the afternoon of the next day. Jun Sakuma missed the grilled fish at noon. From Junpei's description, it seemed like he missed out on a fortune.

Negi Jinzo had finished typing the new manuscript and handed it back to him so he could check for typos and learn how to write it. Negi Jinzo spared no effort in nurturing promising newcomers, even though they were a bit older.

Just as Jun Sakuma finished checking a paragraph, a dialog box popped up on the page displaying Shintaro Hirata's name.

The younger generation typed away:

I heard you saved many lives! Everyone speaks highly of you!

Jun Sakuma likes to listen to this.

[The police officer with the memory says the white-coated scoundrels are incompetent, and if there's a layoff, they'll be the first to be cut. Before they're gone, they'll make the police officer with the memory refresh his mind, to get revenge!]

Oh dear, then be sure to capture plenty of video footage; Jun Sakuma wants to see some excitement.

Seeing that he laughed, Negoro Jinzo also came over to read Hirata Shintaro's words.

However, there were some unexpected incidents last night... the database probably hasn't been updated yet, but I'll give you a brief overview.

The reporter's eyes lit up, and he pulled out a small notebook to take notes.

[During the resistance, some workers seized the memory eraser and wiped away the original owner's memories.]

The reporter activated all his radars, immediately entering combat mode.

Jun Sakuma immediately frowned. If this thing were misused by someone who didn't understand its principles, the trouble would be no less than the rampage of alien beasts.

[Later he was caught and brought back, thankfully nothing else happened... Now he's in an isolation cell with that memory policeman, and they've both completely forgotten about the alien beast.]

[The security footage shows the two of them playing a game of drawing turtles. The police officer who remembers the game lost a lot; he'll probably have to stuff the next turtle-drawn slip of paper into his mouth.]

Jun Sakuma thought for a moment: "That memory policeman, it's not Misawa, is it..."

[Now Misawa is even busier. They told me to go to a less busy department to rest. The person who was supposed to take over my work ended up in the hospital. Misawa is going crazy.]

[Perhaps the alien beasts have become stronger? Yesterday, there were two cases of memory erasers malfunctioning, requiring two more attempts to succeed. They are analyzing the cause, and their initial conclusion is that it was due to the influence of the alien beasts' vibration waves.]

[It was absolutely right of you to come out! We must be careful; the alien beasts are getting stronger, and there are also dark giants. We... the visitors... can't keep them outside the city forever.]

……

Yuanchuan is an experienced foreman.

Especially when he spotted a blockade line in the distance, and his coworker was shaken by something and immediately fainted.

Those men who had set up warning signs, blocked the road with rubble, stones, and cars, and who looked like highwaymen, were dressed in suits and ties. They said, "Oh, you need treatment?"

"Yes, yes, I hit my head. You should have a doctor?" Yuanchuan saw the car with a red cross painted on it parked next to him.

The doctor who got out of the car was very kind and bandaged his wound first. Then the man in the black suit came over.

The man in the black suit moved with lightning speed, clearly having practiced for a long time. He turned on what looked like a cell phone, but it was actually just filled with a blinding white light.

“You didn’t see anything tonight,” the man in the black suit said.

A white light flashed into his eyes. Yuan Chuan blinked and felt a sharp pain in his brain, as if an awl had been pried in, and a small hammer had tapped the handle of the awl.

The person who dug him out patted him on the shoulder, and then the wound on his head felt warm and the pain stopped.

Something cold and damp crept in, then vanished in an instant, and he realized the warm feeling had disappeared.

What did the man in the black suit just say? "You didn't see anything tonight?"

But he saw it!

The Banib monster, and those who fight the Banib monster!

Yuan Chuan wanted to ask him what he meant by that, but before he could finish speaking, he suddenly realized that the group of people in black suits and the doctor in white had a nice attitude, but there was something strange about them all.

His intuition told him that he had better behave like his coworkers.

So Yuanchuan "fainted" without saying a word. He felt several people lift him into the car, and he dared not open his eyes or move even the slightest bit.

Perhaps he was too bored lying there, because he actually fell asleep.

When he woke up, he found himself in a bright and clean hospital. Glass covered the upper half of the wall, and through the glass he could see people in other wards. Some of them looked familiar; he must have seen them in the factory area.

The patients in the two hospital beds were all his coworkers. "That's good," Yuan Chuan thought. "They're all alive."

But what's going on here?

"Hey Yuanchuan, you're awake too?" The coworker on the left greeted him warmly, "We thought you were going to sleep until the afternoon, that's great."

The coworker on the right chimed in: "The doctor said your head got hit by a steel frame, tsk tsk tsk, thankfully the bones are fine, just a mild concussion. Are you still dizzy?"

"Oh dear, a chemical leak and a small earthquake coming together, misfortunes never come singly, this year is going to be unlucky."

“Wait a minute,” Yuanchuan tried to compose himself, “I only remember… a raw material leak and an earthquake?”

"Of course, to be precise, it was actually a leak caused by the earthquake, but we didn't notice it at first."

“Oh…” His heart was pounding, but the seasoned foreman kept his composure and looked thoughtful.

It seems these two workers don't remember what happened last night—otherwise, given their enthusiasm for the Banib monster, they would have been discussing it at length.

Based on what the man in the black suit said, are they "one-eyed birds"?

Yuanchuan looked at the ward in front of him. Through the glass, he could see many of his coworkers, some lying down and some awake.

Who else, like me, managed to get through it? Who else has completely forgotten?

"Nightcrawler", "One-Eyed Bird", black suits, unfamiliar fighter jets... and Barnib monsters and giants!

All the legends are true!

It was wrapped up as an urban legend and gradually revealed to the public.

Are the people who are hiding these things afraid that making them public will cause panic?

Yuanchuan could understand this approach, but the thought of almost having his memory erased still filled him with resentment.

"How arrogant! You think you're the only ones who can face monsters and shoulder such heavy responsibilities in such a mysterious way... You all have two eyes and one nose, do you think we're cowards?"

Chapter 103 Let's Change the Omega

"You still know how to wake up?"

Time: The morning after tomorrow, the day after the battle with Lizali Asu.

Location: Baolucao Haunted House, third room from the left on the second floor.

Interrogator: Jun Sakuma.

Suspect: Samuel.

Charge: Abandoning his teammates to go out and have fun alone and then going too far. The entire "Truth Investigation Team" strongly condemned this and expressed concern for his recovery.

Seeing him stretch and yawn after waking up, his first words being "Good morning," it seems there's nothing to worry about regarding his health.

Jun Sakuma sat cross-legged on the tatami mat and gestured for him to sit as well.

"?" Samuel, who knew nothing about the storm, thought he had something important to say.

Jun Sakuma indeed had something important to say: "Hold on tight, now let's talk about your problem!"

Next door, Qi Xia was helping Hua Li with a new updo, weaving a small silk scarf into it: "I think I heard some noises next door just now?"

Huali didn't move her head, but she heard clearly: "Dad is angry."

"The alien beasts attacked the factory the night before last, and we almost messed things up. Do you know how old the Nexus host is?!"

"Does the name Senju Rei look familiar? It's the first name we found in the Prometheus's Son database!"

Huali whispered, "It's Dad who's scolding 'Dad'."

Qi Xia only vaguely heard noises from next door. She didn't expect Hua Li to have such good hearing. Was it because the child's ears were so sharp, or was she just getting old?

"He's at the perfect age for college, and we're sending a kid to fight alien beasts! And he's a patient! You... I... I can only hold onto a rock, and you haven't even taught me how to use it!"

Samuel stared intently at the extremely excited people in front of him.

To be honest, this was the first time he had ever seen Jun Sakuma so angry; he was gesturing with his fingers as if he wanted to tap Jun's head.

“Just open it, the rest…” Samuel thought for a moment, and the longer he paused, the redder his face became.

"Ah...you don't even know it yourself!"

If the person in front of him were a new recruit at the police station, Jun Sakuma, as a senior officer, would definitely give him a three-part physical training session to teach him what it means to not insult a comrade. However, Jun Sakuma is past the age where he needs to shout when he's angry. He thinks more deeply, so much so that after calming down a bit and taking a while to process what he said, his words no longer carried much emotion.

“Samuel, tell me the truth,” he shifted his posture, sitting up straight as if attending a serious high-level meeting, “do you think I’m untrustworthy?”

“How could this be…” Samuel said in astonishment. Sakuma Junsei was looking at him with an extremely serious gaze, as if as long as he spoke slightly ambiguously or even answered a single wrong word, the other party would really believe him completely.

"Then why did you go out alone without even saying goodbye?"

"You need to rest..." and you're teaching Karin. The second half of the sentence was completely drowned out by the sudden, relentless barrage of questions.
