Ultraman cubs begin to wreak havoc.

A surveillance video popped up on the projector, showing Kaguya Isshin rubbing her stomach as she walked forward. Then, Kaguya Isshin disappeared into the blind spot of the surveillance camera.

The members of the Victory Team immediately looked at the surveillance footage next to them, but they did not see Kaguya Isshin reappear for a long time, which meant that the location where Kaguya Isshin had an accident had been indirectly locked.

"Things are not that simple."

Zongfang directed the retrieval of the incident records and projected them onto the map. Everyone immediately discovered that only five minutes had passed between Kaguya Isshin's disappearance and his discovery by the police. The distance between the place of disappearance and the place of discovery was such that even without regard to terrain and obstacles, it would be impossible to reach the destination in five minutes by manpower alone.

This is also why the Victory Team officially intervened in the investigation of the 'Obik' incident.

"Kurahiro Isshin's situation is now stabilizing."

After discussing the map, Commander Munakata steered the conversation towards the victims, saying softly:

"Kurahime Isshin was just traumatized. He's been seen by a doctor at TPC and there's nothing wrong with him. With proper rest, he'll recover. With the guidance of a psychologist, I believe he shouldn't have any lasting effects."

Hearing this, the members of the GUTS team breathed a sigh of relief. After all, judging from the video, they were genuinely worried that Kaguya Isshin might be driven mad by fear. Then, Daigo Madoka frowned slightly, as if he had thought of something, and said softly:

Why did Obik send Kaguya back?

"Eh?"

Upon hearing this, all eyes of the GUTS team members fell on Daigo Madoka. Rena, in particular, cried out in confusion, but Daigo Madoka calmly replied:

"Whether Kaguya Isshin encountered Obik, some other monster, or an alien, he returned alive, or was only startled. Apart from that, he suffered no physical harm, and there was nothing strange left on his body. Isn't that strange?"

The more Daigo Madoka thought about it, the stranger it seemed. No matter who the enemy was, his actions should have a purpose, but his style of doing things just made Daigo Madoka unable to understand what this enemy was trying to do.

Daigo Madoka's doubts plunged the entire GUTS team into silence. They couldn't figure out what the enemy was trying to achieve by doing this.

"Therefore, starting tonight, everyone will begin patrolling Hikono Street and the surrounding streets."

Captain Megumi finally interrupted everyone's thoughts and said very seriously:

"We won't find the answer just by thinking about it here; let our actions tell us the answer."

"Yes, Captain!"

The members of the winning team responded in unison, and after seeing Captain Megumi's gesture to adjourn the meeting, they picked up their respective folders, ready to begin their work for the day. But then...

"Horii, a member of the team."

Captain Megumi chuckled and called out to her chubby teammate, then, seeing Horii's pained expression, she couldn't help but laugh out loud, clapping her hands and saying:

"Just kidding, it's really possible for you to come and help, Horii. The higher-ups are waiting for your analysis results, so get back to work."

"Hmm... I have a feeling that the captain has started to joke around more lately."

Horii smiled helplessly. As for the reason, Daigo Madoka and Rena knew it. It seemed that Captain Megumi and her son had become much closer during this period.

"By the way, Daigo."

Just as Daigo Madoka was leaving the conference room and preparing for his combat training, Rena, one of the team members, suddenly called out to him, put her hands behind her back, and whispered:

"You haven't done flight simulation training for a while. Although the Victory Flying Swallow hasn't been sortieing much lately, that's no excuse for you to slack off on your flying skills."

Team member Lina held her hands in front of her and counted on her fingers, saying:

"Look, ever since you joined the Victory Team, you and Shinjo have crashed the most times. I can't control Shinjo, but I taught you how to fly. Now that you've crashed like this, I can't just ignore it. Come on, what are you waiting for?"

Since Rena had said so, Daigo Madoka naturally agreed, but he couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself. A plane crash... well, it was unavoidable. If he didn't crash, how would he transform into Ultraman Tiga? So, he'd better keep practicing his piloting skills; plane crashes were probably still inevitable...

what....

I need to think of a way to appease Lina in advance, otherwise, if she gets angry because of the plane crash, I'll have a real headache if I have to come up with a solution on the spot.

Then......

It was about patrolling at night. Since the Hikono Street area was quite large, there were no two teams of two. Each member of the Victory Team was responsible for a specific area and patrolled accordingly.

At this moment, Xincheng's expression was quite bitter. Although it was a bit embarrassing to admit, he was indeed a little scared. The combination of darkness and ghosts was really too much for Xincheng to handle.

"Wow!!!"

Suddenly, the Xincheng team member heard a sound behind him. He instinctively raised his flashlight and shone it in the direction of the sound, only to find that it was just the wind blowing the plastic bag on the trash can. After realizing this, the Xincheng team member patted his chest to calm his wildly beating heart.

Then, with a pained expression, he continued to probe forward with his flashlight. It was a little embarrassing to admit, but he really wanted to make a phone call and chat with someone. Hmm... calling his teammates didn't seem quite right, since they were on patrol, and there was no time for casual conversation.

so...

Why don't you call your younger sister? That way...

No, no, what am I thinking? I'm on a mission! I need to concentrate on patrolling, how can I make a phone call... Come on, Shinjo, you can do it! It's just the dark of night and some ghosts! You're a member of the GUTS team!

Thinking this, Xincheng's trembling legs finally tensed. He closed his eyes, took a long breath to calm himself down, grabbed his flashlight, and continued forward.

Just then, the Xincheng team member suddenly noticed something. He took two quick steps forward in surprise and saw a ramen stall with red lanterns hanging above it appear before him...

470 Daigo: Let's eat noodles first.

Why is there a ramen stall here?

The question flashed through the mind of the Shin-chan team member, but he didn't think much of it. After all, in Japan, such late-night stalls are a common sight. Working people who finish their shifts late at night just want to have something hot to eat before curling up in bed to sleep.

And so, the Xincheng team member paid no attention to the ramen stall. He continued walking forward, passing by the ramen stall, and in that instant...

"Come and play!"

Upon hearing this, the Xincheng team member froze in his tracks, his expression also stiffened, and his eyes widened in shock.

"Play with Obik."

Hearing that childlike voice ring out again, the Xincheng team member couldn't help but sigh. The image of someone on the verge of tears was perfectly displayed on his face...

'You absolutely mustn't look back!'

At this moment, Shinjo remembered Horii's words. He took a silent breath, and then, like a puppet on strings, he moved forward stiffly step by step. With each step, it was as if he had stepped on needles, and his expression was one of utter pain.

Behind the New City team member, Obik was carrying a pot, tiptoeing along without making a sound. Although Obik couldn't see the New City team member's expression, he could tell from the human's actions that the human was terrified, so terrified that his legs were about to go weak. That was enough. Be afraid, keep being afraid.

Obik laughed as he left behind the Shinjo team members, then pulled up his ramen stall and instantly disappeared from the area Shinjo was responsible for. Obik reappeared, laughing triumphantly, as if he had startled the Shinjo team members and made them complete some valuable task. His laughter grew even more hearty, and his speed increased until he turned a corner...

Daigo Madoka and Horii were blocking Obik's path.

Daigo Madoka and Horii's patrol areas overlap, which is why they were able to run into each other. Just now, Horii was making a bet with Madoka about what Shinjo was like right now, and whether they would hear Shinjo's trembling voice if they suddenly made a communication.

Upon seeing Obik, Horii, who was quite sociable, glanced at the moon's position, calculated the current time, and greeted Obik warmly, saying:

"Uncle, this area is very dangerous lately. If possible, you should set up your stall somewhere else. I'm from the TPC Victory team. You should know us."

While Horii and Obik were talking, Daigo Madoka was observing the ramen stall. He tilted his head, avoiding the lanterns hanging on the stall, and saw the pot on the stall. The pot was not covered and was just open, but whether it was because of the angle or the lighting, Daigo Madoka always felt that the inside of the pot was very dark.

To be honest, apart from the pot, everything else on the ramen stall seemed pretty normal, but Daigo still had a vague feeling that something was wrong. As an Ultra Warrior, his intuition, honed by Subaru's special training, made him realize that he might not be able to let this ramen stall go so easily.

"That's right, I'm hungry too."

Just as Horii was trying to persuade the stall owner to leave, Daigo Madoka suddenly spoke up:

"Since we've already run into each other, Uncle, why don't you give us a bowl of noodles? It'll fill our stomachs."

"Ah? Ah..."

Upon hearing this, Horii was taken aback at first, then quickly echoed:

"Ah, yes, yes, it's good to have something to eat. It's so annoying to be patrolling everywhere so late at night."

As he spoke, Horii walked toward the ramen stall. Although he didn't know why Daigo brought it up, they had only been on patrol for less than two hours. Before setting off, everyone in the GUTS team had already eaten, and even Horii, who was the most prone to hunger, still felt quite full.

Therefore, Daigo Madoka must have discovered something; this ramen stall might not be as simple as he thought.

Thinking of this, Horii's eyes changed slightly, but his tone remained as casual as before as he tried to get closer to the ramen stall owner.

However....

Obik noticed Horii's change. He smiled as he answered Horii's question, pretending to start making ramen, but secretly took out a long, strange, thin stick that looked like a suona (a traditional Chinese wind instrument), with pink vortex energy condensing on it.

"Danger!"

Just as the pink vortex energy was about to strike Horii, Daigo Madoka lunged forward, tackling Horii to the ground and narrowly avoiding the attack.

"What happened? What's wrong?!"

Horii was still completely bewildered. He had no idea what had just happened. Obik and Daigo's movements were so fast that even he only saw a blur.

At this moment, Obik's loud laughter rang out again. As Daigo Madoka tackled Horii, he transformed back into his true form, changing from the bald ramen stall owner into a figure dressed in white with white hair, whose face was obscured. He then quickly drove away into the distance with his ramen stall.

Seeing this, Daigo Madoka flipped his hands, one hand performing an American-style Iaijutsu with astonishing speed, while the other hand took something from his belt, flicked it outward with his thumb hooked on his index finger, and thanks to his physique enhanced by the Light of Tiga, accurately flicked the object into the ramen stall's pot.

However, Daigo Madoka's attack was ineffective. Obik waved his suona, releasing several pink vortex-like energies that neutralized the American Iaijutsu attack and shattered all the surrounding streetlights. In the dim darkness, Daigo Madoka saw Obik and his ramen stall disappear into a wisp of smoke.

but....

Don't assume Obik has left. He pulled his ramen stall cart and appeared in another dark area. Lina, who was driving the mobile car, suddenly heard a strange sound. She subconsciously turned her head to look in the rearview mirror and saw a white figure rushing up quickly, accompanied by a rather triumphant laugh.

And so, Lina, who was driving at high speed, stared in astonishment at the mysterious newcomer and his ramen stall cart, which were driving alongside her. His white hair swayed in the wind like countless swaying willow branches, ready to wrap around you at any moment, making you shudder!

What about New Town 471?

While Lina's team was still in shock, Obik, laughing, disappeared from their sight with his ramen stall cart. It was simply unbelievable—how could one person outrun the Victory Team's ground vehicles...?

It's Obik!

At this moment, Lina's mind, which had been somewhat stunned by the shock, suddenly came to its senses. Feeling somewhat ashamed, she quickly turned on her communicator and reported to everyone:

"I've found Obik!"
