Starting from the destruction of the Land of Light

"You're too slow."

On the spaceship, Luo Xi looked at Zhang Chen walking in through the portal and couldn't help but complain.

"What, did I stop you from picking up girls?"

"What are you talking about?" Zhang Chen smiled and replied casually. "They've already reached the climax of the song. If I don't watch it to the end, wouldn't I be missing out on a great show?"

"Hmph." Luo Xi glanced at Zhang Chen, turned around, and returned to her seat, crossing her legs. "You've set the stage, kid, and you've really given me a good show to put on."

After a pause, Luo Xi asked again with a face full of curiosity.

"Hey, Zhang Chen, how did you know that Wang Kui was the mole planted by Bo Jiaru? He's been infiltrating for two whole years, and even those guys from the Earth Defense Force couldn't catch him."

Zhang Chen's lips curled up. "Actually, it's not hard to guess. I had a clue from my conversation with Bogaru before."

"How so?"

"When I met Bogaru for the second time, she revealed that she had a mole within the Earth Defense Force. It was at that time that I realized the identity of that mole."

As he spoke, Zhang Chen tapped the listening device lightly. "Do you remember the intelligence we intercepted? Two orders, one postponed and one brought forward. Long Tian himself said it, and you could count the number of people who know about it on two hands."

"Aside from Ryuta himself and the person who gave the order, only the seven people in charge of escorting the goods knew about this. When I went to inform Bogaru about this, she didn't seem surprised, which means she already knew about it beforehand. So her inside man was none other than one of those seven people in charge of escorting the goods."

"Then how can you be sure the mole is Wang Kui, one of the seven?" Luo Xi continued to press. "We only met him once, and that guy was a captain."

"Actually, I wasn't sure who the undercover agent was beforehand, so I left a loophole and gave the initiative to Bogaru, letting her help me expose the undercover agent's identity."

"You mean...let her choose the ambush route herself?"

"That's right." Zhang Chen nodded.

Luo Xi frowned slightly. "But how can you guarantee that Bo Jiaru will let us put the real goods in the car being transported by the traitor? What if she deliberately sabotages you? Wouldn't all our efforts be in vain?"

"No, it won't happen." Zhang Chen shook his index finger slightly and said. "Bogaru is a cunning person. The more cunning a person is, the more they want the whole plan to be under her control."

"While I was testing her, she was also assessing my capabilities. Don't forget, we agreed to act together. If she has other plans in private, such as having an inside agent take the initiative to carry out the kidnapping before us, then she cannot guarantee that I will act according to the plan."

"If we don't place the real goods on the designated path, her actions will be exposed, and the whole plan will fail completely. So, on the surface, she is choosing the route, but in reality, she is more uncertain than I am."

"In this situation, she needs to confirm the existence of the genuine product in order to continue her operation. Since she doesn't know my background, her only option is to place the genuine product on the route that the mole is escorting it on, in order to gain the initiative in the entire operation."

"Of course, it was also because of her actions that I realized Wang Kui's identity as an inside agent the moment I saw the escorts."

"No wonder you were so confident. It turns out that Bogaru seemed to have choices, but actually, you were the one who made them for her." Luo Xi nodded thoughtfully, then sighed and laughed. "Looks like I can't be friends with you anymore. You guys are too good at playing mind games."

"You mean playing tactics is all dirty-minded, right?"

"However..." Luo Xi raised her head and looked at Zhang Chen. "Since we didn't manage to keep Bo Jiaru here this time, it will be difficult to find a suitable opportunity in the future. Given that guy's vengeful nature, she might launch a crazy revenge against you. You'd better be careful."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing," Zhang Chen replied seriously, then continued, "This trip has been very fruitful. I think it won't be long before I'm capable of protecting myself."

"You gained a lot?"

Luo Xi repeated Zhang Chen's words, a hint of amusement in her eyes.

"I haven't even complained about you yet. You went through all that trouble, and all you got in the end was an Ultraman figurine? Wow, it's a Seven Ultraman figurine! So you didn't get the Seven Ultraman monster capsules, and instead went for Seven Ultraman merchandise, huh?"

"Hey, you still haven't told me why you didn't take the monster capsule back, but instead returned it to the Earth Defense Force? A monster of that level should be an invaluable treasure for monster controllers like you."

Luo Xi wasn't joking. There were five monster capsules in total for Ultraman Seven. One of them was empty, the monster inside one capsule got lost in the fourth dimension, and the remaining three monster capsules contained Windom, Mikula, and Akira, respectively.

These three are also extremely powerful three-headed monsters trained by Ultraman Seven. Each of them has top-notch combat power in its race. Even ordinary Ultramen are no match for them and can easily crush other weaker monsters.

"Indeed." Zhang Chen nodded slightly, stroking his chin as he spoke. "Those three monsters, each one of them, possess extremely powerful combat abilities, and are what monster controllers are keen on."

"But the problem is, I have no use for them."

"My situation is quite special compared to other monster controllers. I don't have the power to control monsters myself. I can only fight by using monsters revived by [Radiance]. So no matter how powerful the Capsule Monster is, I can't use it."

"Instead of killing Ultraman Seven's capsule monsters to replenish the evil power of [Radiance], it would be better to do the Earth Defense Force a favor, which would also give them some ability to fight monsters."

"Besides, only Ultraman's human form can open that thing. Haven't you seen how long Russia has been researching it and there's been no follow-up?"

Luo Xi blinked, tilted her head, and asked, "So, that's why you brought back an Ultraman Seven figure?"

"If you want this, it's everywhere, why not just buy one?"

"Hey, don't underestimate this guy."

Zhang Chen smiled and took out the Ultraman Seven doll, showing it to Luo Xi.

"A special life form formed by being influenced and injected with negative energy. Although it was purified by Ultraman Ace and returned to its original doll form, as long as there is enough evil power, I can still make it show its true power again."

"Negative energy? A special life form?"

Luo Xi frowned slightly, then suddenly realized something after Zhang Chen reminded her.

"The one purified by Ultraman Ace, you wouldn't be referring to that delusional Seven from over twenty years ago who chased and killed street racers, would you?!"

"That's right~"

Zhang Chen snapped his fingers.

"That's him!"
