In Ultraman: Starting with the Battle Device

Raven closed his eyes and leaned back on the sofa.

So, after the takeout arrived and the two had dinner, Raven went downstairs alone to take a walk.

And so, without realizing it, we arrived at the TPC building.

It's around 10 p.m. now.

Raven made a last-minute decision to go find Megumi Kijima and ask her about Masaki Keigo and the artificial Ultraman.

This should be the time when people are getting ready to go to sleep.

With his superhuman eyesight and Ultra Insight, Raven quickly located a window in the building, which was the room where Megumi lived.

Then his figure transformed into light and disappeared from the spot.

the other side.

At this moment, Izayoi had just finished taking a bath and was wearing a very loose, thin gauze nightgown with a large neckline.

She was holding a photo frame, lost in thought. It was a group photo of everyone from the GUTS team era, full of memories.

Although she now holds a high position as an advisor in the information department, she is not as glamorous as before; it is just a leisurely job for retirement.

In recent years, with the retirement of Director Sawai, the hawks have gradually taken over the entire TPC, and have done many things behind the scenes that were previously explicitly prohibited.

Even the current Super Victory Team is actually on the hawkish side, and has almost nothing to do with the original Victory Team. They also do things much more aggressively than the old Victory Team.

The recent appearance of artificial Ultraman has made Megumi Iruma very worried, and she has a feeling that a big problem will arise sooner or later.

"Ugh."

Megumi sighed, but what could she do?

"Why is the intermediary captain sighing?"

Suddenly, a man's voice reached Megumi's ears, startling her.

How could someone have broken in?

Without thinking twice, she immediately turned around and looked behind her.

Raven was sitting on her sofa with his legs crossed, looking at her with a smile.

But at this moment, Raven was just pretending to be calm. He didn't expect that Megumi had just finished taking a shower and her pajamas were not buttoned up properly, resulting in a large amount of her private parts being exposed.

At this moment, only one word was on Raven's mind.

Big.

“Raven?” Megumi breathed a sigh of relief at first, but then became wary again.

Who knows if this person in front of us is an alien in disguise? We can't let our guard down like this.

"Captain, don't be nervous. I'm just here to ask you some questions," Raven said, quickly turning his gaze away and speaking to her seriously.

Seeing Raven look away with an embarrassed expression, Megumi chuckled. Now she was certain it was him.

She had some understanding of Raven's reactions from the close encounters she had had with him during his previous rescues.

"What important matter could have made you, Ultraman, come to me?" Megumi then walked to the refrigerator and took out two cans of beer.

Seeing Raven again reminded her of her time with the GUTS team. After all, Alpharos belonged to their era and had saved her many times.

"Would you mind having a drink with me for a while?" Megumi put down her canned beer and sat down next to Raven.

However, when she sat down next to Raven and looked at him up close, she found that Raven was still the same as he had been back then. This made Megumi feel a little melancholy.

He himself had already entered middle age, but Raven still looked like a young man.

“No problem, I can hold my liquor pretty well.” Raven took the beer, easily popped the tab with one finger, and took a sip.

Feeling the approach of his childhood goddess, Raven became nervous and could only hide it by drinking.

"Um, Captain Ju, as an advisor to the Information Department, I wonder if you know anything about artificial Ultraman?" Raven quickly got to the point.

But Megumi shook her head, her eyes somewhat dim, and said to him, "I really don't know either. I never expected them to do something like this behind my back."

Seeing Megumi's appearance, Raven thought to himself that she wasn't exactly happy at TPC either.

Looking back now, apart from Daigo and Rena who are longing for Mars, the rest of the veteran members of the GUTS team all have a deep affection for the team.

Now, almost everyone has either been transferred or reassigned. Even Iriko was promoted in name only, effectively demoted, and removed from the center of power.

"Do you know about Masaki Keigo?" Raven asked again.

“Masaki Keigo…” At this point, Megumi Kiyama became somewhat serious.

“He shouldn’t be dead, right?” Raven said.

……

Chapter 159 Masaki Keigo Out of Control (Please give me some money!)

“Why do you want to know this?” Instead of answering, Megumi asked Raven, “When did you see him?”

"To be honest, I had dealt with him once before, and I knew what kind of research he was doing."

Raven then added, "The artificial Ultraman thing must be related to him, otherwise I don't believe that your TPC could have developed it so quickly."

“They did have that reason for rescuing Masaki Keigo, but as far as I know, Masaki Keigo is very uncooperative, which is why he has been imprisoned there,” said Megumi Kijima.

"I see. I was wondering why TPC would just give up on such an important figure who was researching Ultraman's power," Raven said, suddenly realizing.

Then, Raven and Megumi started drinking and chatting.

Megumi talked about many memories from the past, but in Raven's eyes, these things had only happened a year or two ago.

Before I knew it, I had drunk quite a few cans. I guess I've finished off all of Megumi Kijima's stock.

She was clearly drunk, leaning back on the sofa.

Raven, of course, remained perfectly sober.

Seeing that it was getting late, he decided to leave.

Of course, before leaving, Raven carried the unconscious Megumi Iruma from the sofa to her bedroom.

Inadvertently, Raven saw a weekly magazine on his bedside table. The cover featured Ultraman Apharos and Dyna, and coincidentally, it was the same picture of Dyna making a peace sign that day.

It seems that even though Megumi Kijima has stepped down from her frontline role, she still keeps an eye on Ultraman.

After gazing at his childhood goddess for a moment, Raven transformed into a beam of light and vanished.

……

TPC Pacific Prisons

Despite being called a prison, this place is more like a heavily guarded military restricted area.

The TPC police department has invested a lot of manpower and resources here, and some secret research that cannot be made public is also carried out here.

At the same time, some aliens, including some extremely dangerous individuals, are also secretly imprisoned here.

In a prison of the highest level.

Masaki Keigo's feet were locked in electronic shackles, and he sat quietly in the center of a circle.

Over the years, he didn't want to reduce his sentence by helping TPC research Ultraman's power, so he voluntarily stayed here.

This was to atone for his sins, and also because he feared he might go insane again.

After all, he was the one who caused the tragedy in Kumamoto City, and countless people lost their homes and family members because of him.

But he still couldn't understand why he had gone berserk and out of control, even though his research on Ultraman had become much more complete than before.

Therefore, he no longer wanted to touch this forbidden power.

No matter how much Gondo threatened or tempted him, he did not compromise.

At that moment, Raven appeared silently in front of him.

Looking at the utterly dejected Masaki Keigo, he was a completely different person from the one he had met before. This made Raven sigh. It seemed that incident had truly impacted him.

"It's you!" Masaki Keigo, whose eyes had been lifeless, suddenly looked at Raven.

This figure was also what he feared most. Although he had become indifferent to life and death, seeing him again still filled him with fear.

"Why are you so nervous? I'm not going to do anything to you," Raven said helplessly.

"So many years have passed, what do you want to do now?" Masaki Keigo asked through gritted teeth.

For some reason, his head started to ache terribly after seeing Raven.

“I remember telling you before to just do your research honestly, but you still managed to cause such a big mess,” Raven said.

"Shut up!" Masaki Keigo suddenly grabbed his head in a frenzy.

Ever since that experiment, a demonic voice has haunted him for eight years. Just thinking about what happened eight years ago gives him a splitting headache. This pain has only intensified since seeing Raven.

"Huh?" Raven noticed that something was wrong with Masaki Keigo.

So he immediately used his sensory abilities.

It was discovered that there was actually purplish-black energy within Masaki Keigo's body!

"Oh no...it...it's coming out!" Masaki Keigo kept pounding his head, trying to bring himself back to his senses.

But for some reason, the purplish-black energy that had been behaving itself for eight years suddenly went berserk when it saw Raven!

A red light flashed in Masaki Keigo's eyes.

The demon, suppressed for eight years, has finally broken free.

Masaki Keigo's figure was enveloped in a purplish-black light, and then continued to grow larger!

That's how the prison was burst open!

Instantly, alarms sounded on the island.

Cries of pain echoed from inside the prison; many people were injured by falling debris.

On this artificial island, a giant over 50 meters tall suddenly appeared out of nowhere!

It can be vaguely seen that it looks like Evil Tiga, but it is more sinister than before, and its eyes and indicator lights are also red.

"What's going on?" Raven was also startled by the sight. The other party was fine just now, so how did it suddenly transform?
