Ultraman: Because I am Gatanothor.

Chapter 22 The Irreparable Stone Statue

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

After playing a game, Ye Rui felt a little hungry. He looked up at Daigo and Fengdu and asked, "I'm a little hungry. Do you want to go get something to eat together?"

Upon hearing this, Daigo shook his head; he currently had no appetite.

Fengdu glanced at the time and smiled at Ye Rui, "It's lunchtime in the cafeteria now, so it'll probably be crowded. Let's grab some snacks to tide us over!"

Ye Rui was taken aback, turned his head to look around, but did not find any snack bags.

Daigo had the same expression.

Feng Du smiled slightly and pointed in the direction of the storage cabinet, "Trust me, it's definitely there!"

"Uh……"

The two instinctively followed Fengdu to the storage cabinet.

Feng Du found Lina's storage locker and explained to the two of them with a smile, "Knowing my sister as I do, she would definitely store food here!"

When they were children, he and Lina were in the same class. Once, during a summer camp organized by the school, they accidentally rescued a squirrel.

These furry creatures were irresistibly attractive to little girls, so Lina started raising squirrels.

Over time, Lina was influenced by the squirrel's habit of hoarding food, so whenever she arrived at a new place, the first thing she did was not to familiarize herself with the environment, but to buy some food and store it.

Enter the password to open the storage cabinet door.

Each winning team has one of these storage cabinets.

Daigo was taken aback and asked in surprise, "Xiaofeng, how did you know your sister's password?"

Opening the door, Feng Du chuckled and replied, "My sister and I grew up together. How many passwords could she possibly have? Besides, I secretly looked at them this morning!"

As he spoke, he took out all the snacks and gave some to Daigo and Nori.

Daigo held the snacks, feeling somewhat conflicted, but the thought that they were Rena's snacks gave him a strange sense of excitement.

Ye Rui looked at the puffed snacks in his hand, swallowed hard, and wanted to eat them, but the rationality he retained made him ask a question.

"Isn't what we're doing theft? If Lina finds out, will she beat us to death?"

He had the privilege of witnessing Lina's violent side, and ever since then, he has always held Lina in high esteem and never complained about her words.

Lina once believed that Ye Rui was actually her younger brother.

Feng Du had already torn open a bag of snacks, picked up some potato chips, and started eating. Hearing this, he shrugged and said, "How can this be called stealing? Look at the date on it, it's almost expired. If we don't eat it, wouldn't it be a waste?"

Daigo and Nori picked up a bag of snacks and checked the date. "Huh, it really is, it's only a month away from expiring!"

"So don't worry, she can eat it. I'll make sure she gets something to eat when I get back tomorrow!"

With their burdens lifted, the two ate with peace of mind.

Although they all knew these snacks weren't very healthy, they couldn't resist how delicious they were.

Daigo, in particular, would think of Rena's snacks with every bite, and felt a strange excitement in his heart.

…………

Inside Dr. Tango's laboratory.

Dr. Dango is not a good person; he is arrogant and conceited, and is very unpopular in TPC.

However, his talent is truly exceptional, especially in physics, where he has achieved many remarkable results.

He also has a very deep understanding of biology.

At the entrance of the laboratory stood two armed police officers, their eyes gleaming, maintaining extremely strict control over the interior.

The laboratory contains countless testing instruments.

Together, we monitor a cube-shaped box in the middle.

This box is a special box, containing some of the sand from the stone statues destroyed by the monster Golza in the Land of Tiga.

An obese man with glasses and an extremely unpleasant appearance excitedly looked at the data displayed on the computer screen.

"Only some of the substances in this sand can be detected! Most of the substances are completely undetectable!"

"What kind of substance is this? It glows? This is incredible!"

He lay on the secret box, his eyes filled with longing for the unknown.

Upon hearing this, Deputy Captain Zong Fang, who was leaning against the door, asked, "Doctor, is there any way to restore this sand to the stone statue?"

Dr. Tango seemed not to have heard him at all, and continued to look at the secret box in front of her.

"It's truly a miracle!"

Seeing this, Zong Fang looked slightly annoyed, but knowing the other party's temperament, he raised his voice again and asked, "Dr. Danhou!"

Perhaps the voice was a bit loud, because Dr. Dango frowned, his expression displeased. He stood up and said in a mocking tone, "Restore the giant statue? You really dare to dream!"

"Is that not allowed?"

His idea was to restore the damaged statues to their original state and then have someone slowly study how the giants came back to life.

If this method works, they might have three powerful allies when facing the monster.

After all, if one giant has been revived, then the remaining two should also be able to be revived.

Dr. Tango glanced at Vice Captain Munakata, then turned back and flipped to a page of a report with lines drawn on it.

He tossed the report directly to Deputy Captain Zong Fang and said indifferently, "This is a report obtained from a large piece of gravel using particle transmission analysis."

The lines above are traces left inside the statue; I guess they were the key factor that drove the giant's movements.

Deputy Captain Zongfang was taken aback, staring at the dense yet orderly lines on the surface. As if he had figured something out, he tentatively asked, "You mean..."

"That's right. The giant statue's body should be like our human body, filled with blood vessels and other sophisticated instruments. We humans don't even understand our own bodies, so do you think we can restore the giant statue?"

"If you just want a form, go find a bricklayer; they're much better at it than I am!" With that, he waved his hand impatiently and turned back to studying the sand inside the box.

After glancing at the secret box, Deputy Captain Zongfang turned away in disappointment and walked out of the laboratory.

The guard at the door glanced at him and reached out to stop him.

"Deputy Captain Zongfang, please cooperate with the inspection!"

Upon hearing this, Zong Fang very consciously spread his hands, letting them grope his body, while another person held an instrument and scanned him from the front to the back.

After the two people tested negative, they moved aside to clear the way.

"Thank you for your cooperation!" the guard said emotionlessly.

Zongfang nodded to them, picked up the Victory Hyper rifle beside him, took the elevator, and returned to the command room.

I feel somewhat worried about the future of humanity.

Just one monster almost wiped out the entire GUTS team.

Could they have survived this great upheaval without the giants' help?

"Sigh, if only we had known how to revive the giants sooner, wouldn't humanity have had three powerful guardian deities?"

He didn't know the answer to his own question.

He paused for a moment as soon as he entered the command room.

"What are you doing...?"

What comes into view is a small mountain of snacks piled up.

There were three other people nearby who were also eating heartily.

When Fengdu saw that it was Zongfang returning, he greeted him with a smile, "Commander, would you like some?"

As he spoke, he waved the unopened snacks in his hand.

Just then, Zongfang also felt a little hungry. He smiled. Although he always had a cold expression when he was out in public, he would show a gentle smile when facing his teammates.

He took the snacks from Fengdu and started eating them too. Although eating was not allowed in the command room, such rules had to be considered on a case-by-case basis.

"If your sister finds out you've been eating her snacks, won't she beat you up?"

After entering the room, he glanced around the command room, especially at the already opened storage cabinets, and could roughly guess what was going on.

"Hey, what's there to be afraid of? I'll just buy some for her tomorrow!"

At that moment, the communicator on his waist suddenly rang.

Upon opening it, his sister Lina appeared on the communication interface.

"Xiaofeng, I'm off work now, it's time to go home!"

Nanase Kaede found her in the morning and told her about going home for dinner. Rena also felt that she hadn't been home for a long time, so she switched jobs with Shinjo because Unit 1 could be quickly improved and assembled.

"Okay, I'll be there after I finish eating!" Feng Du swallowed two big mouthfuls of water and replied in a muffled voice.

"What are you eating?" Lina asked curiously, watching Fengdu's twitching lips in the video.

"It's nothing! Wait for me, I'll be right there!"

After saying that, he turned off the communicator, stood up, and said to the three of them, "I'll leave the cleaning up of this mess to you!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Chapter 23 There's One More Thing

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Daigo didn't eat many snacks, but the ones in front of him were the most numerous.

Upon hearing this, he quickly smiled and said, "You should go now, don't keep your sister waiting too long!"

Just as Fengdu was about to go back to his room to change his clothes, he paused, turned around, and asked Daigo with a grin.

"Um... Daigo, do you want to come to my house with me?"
