Land of Light: I am Supermodel Tiga, One-Punch King

Rumble!

Spring thunder rumbled, and it was still raining.

In the intelligence agency's staff office, Staff Officer Tachimura, who had been there for a few months, was watching footage of the last battle between the GUTS team and Desmond.

From the initial chaos to the swift calming of the crowd after Reg's appearance.

Then the mechs and Reg took to the air, together with the fighter jets, to destroy Desmond's clones one by one.

"Reg, a superhuman from another Earth."

"Special member of the Victory Team, Deputy Director of the Police Department's Security and Patrol Division."

"He is indeed a very powerful superhuman, with combat strength equivalent to or even surpassing that of an Alpha fighter jet."

"Most importantly, it has even more capabilities."

The glasses beneath Staff Officer Tatemura's glasses shone brightly in the darkness, a light that seemed to radiate a desire to control everything.

"The Victory Team is also quite powerful, with Victory mechs and two very advanced fighter jets."

"And that Tyrannosaurus Rex mech that hasn't been deployed yet."

"The last time, the golden dragon monster that could disrupt space and time was also defeated by the GUTS team in a joint battle."

"But that's not enough."

"Often, because the people were not evacuated in time, more armed forces could not be put to use in time."

"In the end, we can only rely on Ultraman Tiga and Ultraman Triga, which is not feasible."

"We cannot rely entirely on Reg's inexplicable superpowers to better evacuate the people."

"We need to better control the behavior of the people and forcefully guide them!" Staff Officer Licun muttered to himself.

"The previous Victory Team and the Intelligence Bureau were so unprofessional! We're in the internet age now! Data, I need data!"

……

"Captain, the current intelligence agency staff officer, Tachimura, is very capable, but I always feel that he's a bit gloomy."

In the GUTS command room, Reg, with an earpiece in his ear, was listening to the complaints of his former vice-captain, Asayama Tamaya.

"What?" Reg indicated that he was listening.

"He's only been here for six months, just over thirty, and he's basically got his hands on the entire intelligence agency."

"And they even set up a big data team, supposedly to track people's movements and ways of thinking."

"But lately, we've been assigned to patrol and search the city to investigate a phantom monster."

“But there was nothing unusual at all. I even suspect that this was all intentional, and that our police department’s actions might have been the data he wanted.”

Asayama Tamaya was clearly very angry.

He and his team had come this far through countless battles against aliens.

But now, it might have become someone else's toy, something to be performed for every day. Who wouldn't be angry?

"I understand. I'll handle this. I'll get rid of him in a bit."

Reg raised an eyebrow; this village advisor actually had a very forward-thinking mindset.

Using big data to guide public behavior—that's exactly what modern society looks like!

However, if someone uses false information to mobilize the public, and even causes the creation of monsters, resulting in serious consequences, then they will have no choice but to step down.

"Haha, Captain, you really have a way!" Asahi Tama exclaimed excitedly.

After removing his headset, Daigo also entered the command room.

"Captain, when we arrived just now, they said it seemed like a phantom monster had appeared?"

Daigo looked at Megumi.

Megumi nodded: "I've heard about it too, but the intelligence bureau has delegated the investigation to the police department."

"But so far, nothing has been found in the investigation. Apart from eyewitness reports, there are no clues whatsoever."

"Just like the name 'Illusory Monster,' everything is an illusion."

Horii, holding a small water cup, leaned closer and said, "GUTS doesn't need to be involved in this level of anomaly since the police are already on board."

Lina said dejectedly, "Even when the monsters appear, the GUTS team is like angels."

"But normally, people see us like we're monsters, and they're terrified of us."

“There’s no other way.” Zongfang was quite understanding. “After all, if we are to be deployed, it means loss of refuge, property, and lives.”

"The monster appeared in the bright sunshine and then immediately disappeared."

"I think it's probably just my imagination."

"There haven't been any monsters for a while now, and people are both worried that monsters will come and worried that they won't."

"In addition to worry, the dim lighting and other factors can cause hallucinations and make it easy to see monsters, which is quite normal."

Ye Rui laughed.

"Therefore, we must be cautious when we go out, and it may even be necessary to wear civilian clothes."

Kei Miyako also expressed her helplessness, saying, "To avoid causing public panic and creating even greater chaos."

Just then, the phone in the command center rang.

After answering the phone, Daigo looked at Megumi and said, "Captain, Staff Officer Tatemura requests your presence."

On his way to the command room, Daigo happened to run into Tachimura, the intelligence agency's staff officer.

I was deeply impressed by the statement made by Staff Officer Tatemura that "TPC and Victory Team are military organizations".

Megumi was also quite surprised.

She had close ties with the intelligence agency's science department.

The former was her original profession, while the latter was due to her father's connections, plus her good friendship with Reiko Kenmura of the Science Bureau.

From some intelligence agents, she had roughly learned that this staff officer, Tatemura, whom she had never met, was a person with a strong desire for control and a very deep mind.

Why look for yourself?

A moment later, Kijima returned to the command room, her expression seemingly calm.

Even though the team members didn't have Reg's keen senses, they could still tell from their familiarity that Megumi's emotions were a bit off.

"Did that staff officer Tatemura request that the Victory Team launch a large-scale investigation into that phantom monster?"

As Megumi was reinforcing her resolve to issue the order for the Victory Team to move out, Reg suddenly spoke up.

"How did you know?" Megumi looked at Reg, but then realized, "Was it from the police department?"

"Making a big show of it?"

Zongfang considered the word carefully, "A phantom monster without any clues, demanding that we conduct a large-scale investigation?"

Even the Victory Team members, including Shinjo, the idiot who is often mocked by Horii, are elites.

After being reminded by Munakata, and recalling the issue of the Victory Team causing public panic that they had just discussed, he immediately realized that there was something wrong with this staff officer, Tatemura.

It seems like they're deliberately trying to incite public panic.

"Wait a moment."

Reg coughed and walked out of the command room amidst the strange looks from everyone.

Within seconds, Reg returned.

The only difference is that the white Victory Team uniforms from before have been replaced by suits worn by high-ranking police officers.

“I am now the deputy commissioner of the Police Department’s Security Patrol Division, Reg.”

"Captain Megumi, please report to me what you know about this phantom monster."

Reg sat down in the command seat in the command room and looked at Megumi Kijima with a serious expression.

Everyone: "?"

Megumi couldn't help but laugh. "You're something else, Reg!"

Staff Officer Licun, it's not my fault for not following orders, but because a higher-ranking leader came to ask me about the situation.

As the captain of the winning team, it is my responsibility to answer questions.

Although this is top secret, but—

The deputy director, jointly appointed by Director Sawai and Director Yoshioka, has the authority to know top secrets.

"This phantom monster is fake."

"It was the intelligence agency's staff officer, Tachimura, who ordered the intelligence agency to spread the rumors."

"The purpose is to observe the public's reaction to the monster and collect relevant data."

"Prepare to forcibly control the movement of the people, and evacuate them more quickly in the event of fighting."

"The demand for the Victory team to make a big fuss was to increase the credibility of the rumors."

Without hesitation, Izayoi revealed all of Tatemura's plans.
