Ultraman cubs begin to wreak havoc.

"Oh dear, I have to take a detour again."

Oh dear, I have to work overtime again.

Zena, his words contradicting his true feelings, sighed wearily. He had only chosen to take a walk here to find some peace and quiet, yet he still managed to run into trouble. Indeed... there were far too many aliens on Earth these days. No wonder that Ultraman was somewhat dissatisfied...

Despite his complaints, he still had to get the work done. Zena stretched his tired body for a bit before immediately sprinting off to track down the mysterious creature.

To be honest, although the mysterious creature flew away at a moderate speed, that speed was still beyond the reach of most cosmic races. However, Zena was from the planet Shad, and with his agility, catching up with it didn't take much effort. Before long, Zena reached a distance where he could clearly see the target.

Ah, of course, we still need to use tools.

Zena, who was running at high speed, took out his phone from his pocket, used the external camera to steadily aim at the creature, and within a few seconds, the AIB database sent the corresponding biological data.

"The only monster in its fledgling form, Sandrias... is it really an alien species from Earth?"

392 The Mysterious Boy (Second Update)

Having figured this out, Zena decisively chose to capture it, because if left unchecked, Earth's ecosystem and even civilized society would be affected.

Furthermore, the only child monster in its chick form, Sandrias, presents another problem: it is the offspring of the monster Mazar Sandrias. Generally speaking, wherever Sandrias appears, the monster Mazar Sandrias will soon follow.

However, the appearance of the monster Mazarsandrias is generally not a bad thing. Once Mazarsandrias finds its child, it will take it back to space and basically will not carry out any additional destructive actions.

However, the fact that Mazar Sandrias is very 'cooperative' does not mean that the only child monster Sandrias in its chick form is easy to manage. Generally speaking, Sandrias' age is equivalent to the junior high school stage in humans, or even younger. Therefore, this type of monster is more willful, or is directly in its rebellious phase, mainly characterized by being unruly and disobedient.

Therefore, there are also some bad records in the AIB's records. For example, when Mazarsandrias was chasing Sandrias, he caused terrible destruction and even led to the destruction of several cities.

For example, when Sandrias saw Mazarsandrias descend from the sky, he was inexplicably enraged. Like a child venting his frustration by throwing things, he launched an indiscriminate attack on his surroundings. Mazarsandrias seemed to get angry as well and wanted to spank his own child. And so, in the process, that being in the early stages of civilization was destroyed.

Such incidents are not uncommon, so we must capture Sandrias as soon as possible. When Mazar Sandrias appears, we should shove him directly into the mother monster's arms so that the monster mother and child can leave quickly.

Therefore, Zena quickened his pace while looking up at the Sandrias chick flying overhead, making sure he wouldn't lose sight of it.

Then Zena saw the baby bird of Sandrias suddenly slip through a crack in a window of a house.

This is a bit troublesome, Zena thought.

If this were a typical household, and the Sandrias chick were to experience any kind of trauma inside, it could potentially lead to injuries or fatalities. In that case, even with all the extra work, I would still have to face punishment from the AIB.

But that's still a relatively good scenario. If this family isn't just an ordinary human family, then... the aliens who raise Sandrias might also be lurking inside. If you go in, the worst-case scenario is that you'll immediately be in battle... Zena has encountered this situation quite a few times in the past when she was an AIB agent, so she also needs to consider this possibility.

Therefore, Zena decided to take a closer look and see what was going on in the house where the Sandrias chick had entered, hoping to find some clues from the outside of the building. After observing for a while, Zena did discover some strange things.

The first floor of the building is a shop, which should have been a restaurant. The strangest thing is that the tent sign above the entrance, which reads "Ramen Set Meal World Pavilion", has been haphazardly painted over with paint, and the words "Detective Agency" are handwritten on it in the same paint.

To be honest, it's really strange. Turning a restaurant into another restaurant is nothing new, but turning a restaurant into a detective agency is unheard of. Would anyone really want to hire a detective agency with this kind of appearance...?

Realizing this, Zena felt a little uneasy and was about to step forward to open the door when someone called out to him from behind.

"What brings you to my house, young man?"

Zena immediately turned around and saw a boy standing behind him. To be honest, this guy didn't look like a good guy, after all, his hairstyle was a bit of a punk.

"It's nothing. My pet flew in, so I wanted to ask if I could go in and bring the little bird out."

Zena made no attempt to conceal anything, speaking directly and almost face-to-face. At the same time, Zena was also staring intently at the boy, constantly watching for any changes in his expression. If anything seemed amiss, he was prepared to act immediately!

"Oh, that's how it is."

The boy with the rooster-comb haircut scratched the itchy spot on his body, raised his chin, and said:

"Go inside and look for it. I still have some quests to run. Remember to close the door properly when you leave."

After saying that, the young man left, muttering to himself as he went. It was clear he was quite troubled; his client's demands were truly a pain. Even though he had already completed the task, they were still dissatisfied and wanted him to do it all over again…

Zena somewhat agreed with these comments, since he was in a similar situation. However, he couldn't help but secretly observe the boy, but ultimately couldn't tell whether the boy was an alien or an Earthling.

Anyway, let's go in and take a look.

Zena didn't hesitate at the door for long before walking straight in and seeing the interior of the detective agency. The first thing that caught his eye was the wooden desk, the leather sofa, and some antique decorations, such as old-fashioned telephones and typewriters.

Next to the table were what appeared to be a scene simulation diagram and a portrait of what seemed to be the client, giving the impression that the owner of the place was indeed working hard.

However, after carefully looking around, Zena didn't sense any retro or mysterious feeling. The more she observed, the more she felt that the place was dilapidated, as if everything here had been salvaged from a junkyard.

Zena cautiously approached the cabinet next to him, and gently wiped it with his finger. A layer of dust immediately appeared on his finger, which made Zena nervous. It was clear that this place had not been cleaned for a long time, but he couldn't be sure just from this. He would have to check other places next.

So Zena went to the detective's desk in the center of the room and wiped it with his finger. This time, there was still some dust, though not much, which indicated that the owner hadn't worked here for some time. However, the calendar next to it showed today, as if to show that the owner was still keeping the place in its original state.

Something... feels off...

393 The Last Year and One Month (Third Update)

Zena was starting to feel uneasy. Given the current situation, there was definitely something fishy going on in this place, and a fight might be inevitable.

But since that boy let me in so readily, it seems that even if a battle were to break out, what I would be facing would likely be either a trap he had set or guards stationed here.

This is really.....

Zena stretched his body slightly. This time, he was truly awakening his somewhat tired physical functions for the sake of battle. He looked at the stairs on his left and left some messages on his personal terminal. If he were to pass out or encounter any accident, the terminal would immediately send a message to AIB, at which point AIB would take down the place.

After completing these tasks, Zena finally went up to the second floor.

However, the second floor here is a completely different story. The walls are covered with cracks of varying sizes and lengths, and the floor is damaged with oil stains. It's clear that this used to be a restaurant, and this place has preserved the essence of the past.

At that moment, Zena noticed the window beside him. He instinctively wanted to move closer so that he could observe the outside while remaining undetected by those outside. However, upon getting closer, Zena discovered that the window was rusted and could not be opened or closed normally.

Zena didn't say much, nor did he linger there. He continued walking forward, and soon he saw a pile of garbage. It was clear that the garbage had been there for a long time; it was beyond rotten. Zena couldn't even tell what the garbage had originally been. However, because it had been there for so long, there was no smell, which was a stroke of luck.

It's bad.

Zena muttered a couple of things to himself before continuing on. Due to the angle and the obstruction of other buildings, the second floor lacked sunlight, making it quite dark and damp, which resulted in mold on the walls and a slippery floor. Zena also heard a dripping sound; upon closer inspection, he discovered that the water pipes were old and leaking.

Watching the water droplets fall and form a small puddle on the floor, Zena hesitated for a moment, then turned and left almost without any hesitation.

This is definitely not a detective agency. What detective agency would dare to let the water pipe drip like this? Damn it, water bills in this area are ridiculously expensive. If business isn't good, they probably don't even make as much money as the dripping water bills!

However, just as Zena was about to run back, the pile of garbage he had just noticed suddenly emitted white smoke. Zena reacted quickly, immediately covering his mouth and nose, and turning around to break through the window.

However, the same white smoke nozzles were also mounted on the window, spraying Zena directly in the face.

Then, Zena froze. His breathing and vital signs were all normal; there was no sign of injury. His AIB personal terminal showed no signs of being activated, but Zena stood there like a statue, silent and still...

Meanwhile, after parting ways with Zena that evening, Gen Subaru returned to the headquarters below the observatory for a short rest. He lay on the table and slept for about half an hour before sitting up and stretching comfortably. To be honest, it had been quite a while since he had slept so comfortably. After this rest, he really didn't want to wake up and wanted to continue sleeping.

and many more.....

From the thought of 'not wanting to wake up,' Yuan Mao suddenly remembered something. He placed his hand on his heart and began to quietly feel it. After a while, he lowered his hand with some emotion and gently exhaled.

One year and one month...

This is the remaining lifespan of Gen Subaru. To be honest, the series of battles during this period almost made Gen Subaru forget about it. And it was also because of those battles that Gen Subaru's lifespan was affected to some extent, shortening it by at least one month.

But considering the battles we've already fought, it seems like reducing the time by only a month isn't such a huge loss...

On the bright side, my birthday is in a month!

From that day on, I was no longer a four-year-old!

Gen Subaru chuckled as he climbed up from the table, stretched, adjusted his posture, looked at Rem, and said softly:

"Lem, come and help me calculate something."

......

"You're really huge... Waaaaaah!!!"

Meanwhile, on Asakura Riku's side, upon hearing her childhood friend's whispers, Aizaki Moa's eyes widened, and she instinctively wanted to shout out. But Asakura Riku wouldn't let her shout, so he quickly covered her mouth. Then, the two of them pointed at each other, one pointing to her mouth and the other to his palm—in short, a set of gestures that no one else but the two childhood friends could understand—before Asakura Riku released Aizaki Moa's mouth.

Aizaki Moya was slightly stunned, as if she felt it was a bit magical. She didn't expect that her dear younger brother was also an alien. Then aliens of his kind were like Earthlings. They had lived together for so long, and she hadn't seen any signs of being an alien.

"Um, Xiao Lu, can you tell me how you discovered this?"

Aizaki Moe patted her head to clear her mind, wanting to know what had happened. To be honest, she still felt that Asakura Riku was the kind of person who was easily fooled; she didn't want him to be tricked into doing some kind of bio-experiment by other aliens, while he himself was completely misled.

Therefore, at this time, it is still necessary for her, as the older sister, to personally vet Xiao Lu!

"This... um... let me think about it, um..."

To be honest, the experiences of this period have been so incredibly eventful for Asakura Riku that when Aizaki Moe asked him about it, he had so much to say and so many complaints he wanted to express that he suddenly choked up. He scratched the back of his head and said softly:

"How about I start from the beginning? It's quite a distance from where I live now, so by the time I'm done, we should be heading back."

394 This woman... (Fourth update)

"Buzz~~~~"

Hmm? Is Xiao Lu back?

Meanwhile, at the observatory headquarters, Subaru, who was calculating the possibilities of a new energy cycle with Rem, heard a familiar voice. He instinctively turned around and saw that the teleportation elevator had arrived, but...

The person who came out with Asakura Riku wasn't Peja, but a familiar-looking woman—an AIB operator. How did she get involved with Riku? And judging from their expressions, they seemed to know each other quite well...

No, we can't infer their relationship based on feelings. As far as Xiao Lu's personality is concerned, even if he just met someone for the first time, if he praises them a lot, he might treat them like a good friend. So, we need to observe carefully to see what this woman is up to here. If that doesn't work, we'll have to erase her memories. After all, she's an Earthling, so we can be lenient with her and not take her life for it.

"Hello, Xiao Lu's brother."

Upon seeing the figurine-like aggregate of light particles, Aizaki Moe was initially taken aback. However, due to what had been said on the way there, she gradually understood everything and learned the identity of the person before her. She greeted him nervously and politely, after all...

Putting aside her father-in-law, who is still going crazy under someone else's control, the man in front of her is her real future brother!
