Ultraman Legend of the Light Chaser

"what happened?"

Do you have any extra bandages?

"All used up"

. "

Cangjie sniffed sharply, turned around and shouted, "You're not allowed to look! Even if you do, forget it! You didn't hear anything!"

"Yes, I'm having a bout of Alzheimer's."

Cangjie choked up halfway through his sobbing: "Captain, I was wrong, I don't want to be punished by copying lines."

"Can you hold a pen now?"

"Yeah, that's true..." Sosuke rubbed his hands together, realizing something was off: "Even if I could hold his hand, I wouldn't want to be punished by copying lines!"

Chapter 164 Closing the Net

“This is not an infection that the Medical Bureau can handle on its own. Contact the Life Science Research Center when you get back. I have already spoken with Dr. Yuecheng, and he will put aside his work to come and find you.”

"Thank you, that's really reliable."

If it were a member of the GUTS team, they would be secretly happy for half a day over the praise from Megumi Kijima, but Takuma Sato prefers to take action.

"Treat me to a big meal once they recover. I'm going to eat my way from the west side of the commercial street to the east side. The medical bureau can't do anything about it!" He got out of the car and helped his subordinates carry the Victory Team members onto the Flying Swallow II. The transport department members, who rarely flew high-tech fighter jets, greeted him.

“Next, I’ll assist Captain Instructor in transferring the people to Dr. Moon City,” the transport department driver said. “Be careful with everything.”

As the tail flames ignited, the airflow stirred up by the Flying Swallow II as it took off blew the people on the ground all over the place. Sato waved his hand and rolled back to the truck, grinning as he watched a group of young subordinates who hadn't reacted yet crawling all over the ground like seedlings under a typhoon.

Just then, the communication device, which had been silent for a long time, rang.

"Hey, it's only been a short time, and Commander Yoshioka already misses me?" He took out his communicator—a masterpiece from the Joint Equipment Development Center of the Information Department, a simplified, low-cost version of PDI, stripped of the unnecessary functions that only the Victory Team needed, leaving only the core technologies of being durable, shockproof, having excellent storage, and strong signal.

The key is that it's cheap; it's one of the few pieces of equipment that won't cause financial collapse.

It is also suitable for cracking walnuts.

Sato turned on his must-have walnut cracker, but the face that popped up on the screen was completely unexpected. He paused for a moment, then his attention was drawn to the guy behind him: "Aiba, I thought it was Commander Yoshioka looking for me. Looks like the Demon Realm isn't working, the signal's so good? Uh... who's behind you...?"

Before he could finish speaking, the big guy behind Aiba Yu seemed to have heard him. He shifted left and right, curling up his body and arms and legs, and Aiba Yu cooperated by bringing the camera closer to his face, thus completely blocking the rustling of the big guy.

"They are lost citizens. Do you have any more isolation rooms left?" Aiba Yu asked with a serious face. "Also, the situation in the Demon Realm has been investigated. Tell Commander Yoshioka not to order the troops to open fire and completely destroy the barrier... Give me a day. I will report to Commander Yoshioka after the crisis is resolved. In addition, it is best to check as soon as possible whether other branches around the world have received similar cases of infection as the GUTS team. We have overlooked some things before."

In just over a hundred words, three tasks were assigned to Sato. Sato rubbed his protesting hair and chuckled, "Who's the superior, you or Yoshioka? Fine, you probably don't have time to communicate with your superiors right now."

“Oh, right,” Sato added before Aiba Yu decided to end the conversation, “I just saw your ‘lost citizen’ crying tears of joy, but I’m not sure if he was still drooling… He has long teeth, be careful.”

Aiba Yu was silent for a moment, then put away the communicator and turned around. The humanoid lizard was covering its fangs and mouth, looking at him with teary eyes—this was the epitome of tears streaming down its face.

"I had no idea you could cry so much."

Cangjie sniffed hard and said loudly, "Captain, you promised to forget it! You didn't see anything! I'll be right there."

Aiba Yu subtly moved away, out of the possible splash range, and said, "Clean it up and then get out of here. We still have things to do."

"What is it? Just give me a task!"

"Clean up this area thoroughly. After the barrier disappears, not a single alien beast factor is allowed to leave."

……

Beyond the Demon Realm.

The TPC members tasked with the blockade never imagined that a well-intentioned ground clearing operation would turn into a biohazard crisis.

After Sato finished reporting the situation, Tetsuji Yoshioka waved his hand, and the transport department's cars, trucks, and even transport planes sped off. All the frontline teams stuffed themselves into airtight protective suits, transforming from elite teams into adorable "Big Whites."

No one knows how long the barrier of the Demon Realm can hold. Although Tetsuji Yoshioka believes in Yu Aiba's abilities, he is not so senile as to put all his eggs in one basket. Therefore, the "Big Whites" need to be prepared to face the alien beast factor at any time.

As the first "victims," ​​the situation of the Victory team has caused great concern among everyone.

“While I strongly agree with coming to me for treatment, and I have indeed done relevant research,” Yuki Tsukishiro said to Megumi Kijima, “don’t get your hopes up too high… My previous research only analyzed their properties; I never imagined that humans would be infected by them.”

“There was no other choice. At least you can say you are the person who knows it best.” The members of the Victory Team showed varying degrees of lethargy on the way to the base with the Flying Swallow II. When they were sent into the isolation ward, they were still comforting Megumi Kijima not to worry too much. But as soon as the door closed, Megumi Kijima could not relax at all.

"

"By the way, are you sure it's just these people?" Yuuki Tsukishiro asked. "Where did Daigo go? Haven't you found him yet?"

……

It's normal that TPC can't find Daigo. Communication within the Demon Realm has been restored, but Daigo is no longer there.

While fiddling with the machine, Ye Rui completely went in the wrong direction. Little did he know that Daigo was currently on the road dozens of kilometers away from the Demon Realm—closely tracking two suspicious figures.

Dinosaur Man, Yiwu, and Adam.

Paradia and Amui retreated quickly. They had fought a fierce battle and sustained some injuries, but their mobility was still intact. Seeing that the situation was not good, the two decided to run away, but unexpectedly, Tsukishiro Ayase and Masaki Keigo retreated even faster. The giant, carrying something in one hand, flew away and disappeared without a trace. Ima and Amui did not even have a chance to call him to take them with him.

“I knew all along that they weren’t genuinely cooperating with the Naga. Now their true colors are showing!” Adam gasped for breath. “When we get back, we’ll definitely take down their stronghold in Kumamoto City! We activated Maru-Bonaza ourselves; the Naga gave us the right to make our own decisions.”

As Yi Wu ran, she looked back repeatedly: "They'll definitely have to pay for this, but we need to shake off this 'sticky' guy behind us first... How did he get closer again! When did such a monster appear among Earthlings?!"

The dinosaur-man flew ahead, with Daigo chasing behind. They rushed out of the demon realm one after the other, bypassed the blockade, and sped away on the country road in the early morning, startling countless half-asleep crows.

In terms of physical strength and pace, Daigo, who was originally closer to an ordinary person, could not keep up with the dinosaur man. But at this time, he had been transformed. Under Soruka's guidance, he had learned some "practical tips" for home and travel.

“If Samuel had your level of understanding, I wouldn’t have to worry about him being led astray by Gedi all the time,” Soruka sighed, rubbing his non-existent chin. “Tiga’s luck is both enviable and something to be kept at a distance.”

“‘Envy’ is your praise, senior. I will continue to work hard.” The old man honestly followed Soruka’s method to mobilize the energy in the magic wand. At this moment, he was walking like the wind, which made the dinosaur man’s scalp tingle.

"But what does 'respectful but distant' mean?" he asked.

Soruka paused for a moment, then said, “That’s a long story. It mainly involves keeping his distance from his former companions.”

"companion?"

"Hmm—" Soruka dragged out the last syllable, revealing an indescribable sense of regret: "In short, it was a tragic love affair, but now thirty million years have passed, and you will not encounter the same thing."

Chapter 165 "Smuggling"

Day two.

A white wall stands tall by the sea. Daigo gazes wistfully out the window, his eyes following the seagulls as they fly into the depths of the waves.

This is the Coast Guard.

"Name."

"True Kaku Oko."

"age."

"22."

"What was the reason for smuggling?"

"I'm not smuggling myself in, I'm chasing a suspect, and did you see my uniform? Victory Team!"

"Chasing a suspect, so you're swimming in the sea in the middle of the night? I would have believed you if you hadn't nearly drowned," the recorder twirled his pen like a whirlwind and scoffed. "Victory Team, TPC's handpicked elite team. I'd rather drown in the sea in the middle of the night than believe you!"

Daigo argued forcefully: "You can check my PDI (Personal Inspection and Quarantine Certificate), and anyone who tries to smuggle themselves in will swim!"

"How would I know why you jumped into the Sea of ​​Japan? Did the smuggler take a dislike to you and throw you overboard? Where did you buy that outfit? You're quite the cosplayer... Don't you know that impersonating a public official is also illegal? Your crime is compounded!" The recorder slammed his pen on the table and shouted, "Tell me honestly, what kind of smuggling boat were you on? Who is the smuggler?!"

Having successfully completed his probationary period after nearly a year with the GUTS team, Daigo now faces the "adaptation period" regarding his human form. Under the guidance of his helpful senior, Solka, after the dinosaur-man escapes by jumping into the sea, Daigo jumps in without hesitation and swims with great effort.

During countless breaths and the brief respite of what appeared to be leg cramps due to lack of warm-up, he heard the approaching sound of a motor. Looking up, he saw a searchlight shining on him, like the sun in the night.

“Ignore them, the dinosaur man has dived!” Soruka said.

Daigo spat out a mouthful of salty seawater: "We can't ignore this, senior, the police are here."

Soruka was stunned: "Police? What are police?"

……

TPC Far East Headquarters Base.

The victorious team, who were on the verge of moving to the Life Sciences Research Center, received both good news and bad news.

The good news is that Daigo has been found. He looks very energetic and is hopping around, having a friendly chat with the Coast Guard members. He doesn't seem to have been affected by the demonic realm.

The bad news is that they have to go to the coast guard to pick him up—the Demon Realm is nearly 200 kilometers from the west coast, and who knows how he was pulled out of the sea.

“Maybe we’ve encountered a spacetime rift, or some aliens who’re just bored and taking people flying around for fun,” Horii chuckled. “Anyway, it’s good that we’ve found him. I’ll just have to trouble you, Captain, to bring him back yourself.”

Before he finished speaking, the other patients in the ward nodded in agreement. From left to right, they were Zongfang, Xincheng, and Lina, who had come to visit.

Dr. Tsukishiro, seeing an opportunity to recruit Nozomi, took her away under the pretext of "helping her teammates," leaving the GUTS team with only one leader. Megumi, unable to sit still in the control room, kept running to the wards, leading to the rumor that "the GUTS team is moving to the Life Science Research Institute."

The term "center".

Perhaps the situation wasn't too bad; the team members hadn't shown any abnormalities yet. But Megumi knew that this was just "appearing normal." The real, terrifying mutation was happening in every structure of the cells. She could at least see a clue in Dr. Tsukishiro's eyebrows, which hadn't relaxed in the past few days.

“Then I’ll go bring Daigo back. You guys…” Megumi looked at her teammates through the glass: “If you feel unwell, be sure to say so, even if it’s just a gut feeling that’s not right…”

“We’re not elementary school students who have just learned how to cross the street,” Zongfang said, increasingly feeling that the captain was starting to become more and more talkative. “Let’s go, we also want to see Daigo as soon as possible.”

When Megumi set off to pick up the person from the Coast Guard, the laboratory of Yuki Tsukishiro and her team was just a corridor away from the ward.

Blood and hair samples were stacked in bottles and jars on a small cart, each labeled with a name. Kubota Takasuke pushed it out of the cold storage, and the samples were quickly covered with a layer of white frost.

Kubota, who had been so idle that he played bridge with Dr. Tsukishiro, finally found a new project. He could stop worrying about the traitor Dango and devote his mind back to his great cause—which would be even better if it wasn't disturbed by someone.

"Sato! What are you doing here again? Isn't the investigation over yet?" Kubota Kosuke asked warily.
