Ultraman grunts? Call me Space Policeman outside!

"That's wonderful!" Xia Shu immediately perked up upon hearing this.

"Could you also change that lousy training format?"

"Last time, I was bombarded by Ace with the Ultra Guillotine for twenty hours straight. Can you understand the pain I went through?"

He then took the opportunity to make his own request.

This hellish training is just too hellish.

“This…” Hikari’s tone immediately showed difficulty when he heard Natsuki say that the training method should be changed as well. “After all, this bracelet was not entirely made by me. I was only a developer of part of the system.”

"Everything else is relatively easy to change, but this training format... is already fixed and cannot be changed."

"Huh?" Natsuki was stunned for a moment after hearing that.

Surprisingly, even Hikari couldn't change this thing.

This thing... was it really made by that being?

But... did that old man really have such a perverse sense of humor?

The King of Ultra is an incredibly mysterious and powerful being; it wouldn't be an exaggeration for the entire Ultra race to call him a legendary god.

He truly couldn't believe that such a highly respected figure would come up with such a plethora of underworld training methods.

Your Majesty... has your persona collapsed?

"Alright, no matter how hellish it is, it's true that it will increase my strength." After thinking for a while, Xia Shu accepted this reality.

Then he asked, "How are those two transmigrators who were imprisoned in the cosmic prison?"

"Have you obtained any useful clues?"

He hadn't forgotten the two guys he'd arrested in the last world.

"Regarding this... after those two were imprisoned in the space prison, the entity behind them seemed to want to eliminate them outright." Hikari said, stroking his chin as he pondered, "We successfully thwarted their actions, and afterwards we did obtain some useful information from those two."

"The identity of the mastermind is still unclear, but after analyzing the samples of the spacetime energy they collected, I guess... their purpose in collecting this stuff is to seal something."

"A seal?" Xia Shu frowned upon hearing this. "Is there any way to find out exactly what it is?"

Anything related to sealing is no ordinary thing.

"It's impossible to make a conclusion right now; we'll probably only be able to confirm it after we officially meet the mastermind behind it all," Hikari said, shaking his head.

The other side is very cautious; they still have too little intelligence.

It can only be guessed that the other party is indirectly using these time travelers through a special system.

"Be extra careful when you're on a mission in this world; the enemy has probably already noticed your presence."

"I see."

"I will handle dangerous situations with caution," Xia Shu nodded.

Even if powerful enemies appear later, his many years of combat experience are not to be underestimated.

After explaining these things, Hikari's figure slowly disappeared.

At the same time, a notification popped up on the bracelet on my wrist.

[Upgrading in progress... Upgrade successful!]

[Upgrade Content: The decision-making task system has been removed, a new random challenge system has been added, training mentors can no longer be pre-selected, training duration is now randomized, scene upgrades and optimizations have been implemented, and some bugs have been fixed.]

[Do you wish to enter the mental training space?]

"That's pretty efficient. They probably prepared the update package in advance." Xia Shu looked at the text that popped up on the bracelet and rubbed her chin. "Hmm... should we test the waters first?"

"Is Mr. Natsuki about to train?" Shinji could also see the notification on the bracelet.

"You should rest well. I'll try him out first." Xia Shu decisively chose "Yes".

He wanted to see what was different about this upgraded training.

[You are about to enter the mental training space. Please prepare yourself.]

After the text popped up again, Shinji leaned back and lay on the bed with a peaceful expression.

"Huh? Are they already asleep?" Misato Katsuragi got up to get a drink of water and saw that Shinji's room light was still on, so she came over to take a look.

Seeing that Shinji was already fast asleep, she turned off the light for him and said, "Goodnight, Shinji."

......

Time passed, I don't know how much.

"The train is about to depart. Please be seated and hold on tight."

A female voice announced over the subway.

The sound reached Shinji's ears, waking him from his drowsy state.

"here it is......?"

"Inside the train?" Shinji rubbed his eyes, looked around at the subway car environment, and realized that he seemed to be in a subway late at night, wearing a white shirt.

"Is it my own dream, or Mr. Natsuki's dream?" Shinji pinched his thigh and, finding he couldn't wake himself up, concluded that this was no ordinary dream.

"This isn't Mr. Natsuki's hometown... This looks just like Earth, inside an ordinary train."

At first, he thought he was dreaming about Natsuki's past again, but the surrounding environment convinced him that it was not Natsuki's memory.

"Why am I here?" Shinji wondered.

I looked up at the stations the train was passing through.

"The final stop...isn't there?"

"The starting station is... Kisaragi Station?"

Shinji seemed to suddenly realize something, and his eyes widened.

I felt a chill creep up my spine.

"Kisaragi...Kisaragi Station!?"

Having grown up in Japan, he certainly knew what Kisaragi Station represented.

Legend has it that one night in 2004, a young girl boarded the last train at Kisaragi Station, and after boarding the train, a series of strange and bizarre things happened.

She tried asking netizens for help and tried calling the police.

However, when the police arrived, they discovered that Japan had never established a station called "Kisaragi".

And this girl disappeared completely after that night.

It wasn't until 2011, seven years later, that the missing girl reappeared out of nowhere. According to her, she had no idea that seven years had passed from when she got on the bus to when she escaped.

Following this incident, countless people speculated that the girl may have traveled to another dimension on a ghost train that never existed.

Shinji Ikari was sitting on this train.

"You're kidding!"

"Is... this urban legend true?" Shinji Ikari felt a chilly wind blowing through the carriages.

On the seats on both sides of the carriage, several people were fast asleep, just like the scene described in the urban legend.

Through the car window, he could see no scenery, only pitch blackness.

"Where is this train going?" Shinji panicked as he recalled the horrors of the urban legends.

No matter what, I should get out of here first!

He quickly turned around, clenched his fist, and punched the car window.

The powerful punch landed on the glass, but failed to cause any damage.

Furthermore, strangely enough, the transparent car window couldn't even reflect his image.

He... is trapped here.

"Young man, what's wrong?" While he was in a daze, the man next to him, carrying a briefcase and wearing a gray work coat, woke up and asked him with a puzzled look.

Seeing that the boy didn't react, he introduced himself: "I'm a teacher from a nearby middle school. My name is Yato Takeshi. If you have any troubles, you can tell me."

Arrow's fierceness, Ultraman Ace

......

Meanwhile, in a strange factory in another dimension.

Natsuki lowered her head and looked at her body, which was made of an unknown metal.

Somewhat speechless: "Shit, why am I a monster again?!"

Chapter 127 Escape

"The train is about to arrive at its final stop. Passengers, please prepare to disembark..."

The increasingly cold announcements echoed through the train.

Upon hearing the sound, several sleeping passengers mechanically opened their eyes, got up together, and walked towards the station outside the train.

"Oh no... I missed my stop." As soon as Yato Takeshi heard that the final stop had been reached, he immediately realized that he had missed his stop, which was a big mistake.

“Young man, where do you live? It’s too dangerous for you to go home alone so late. Let me take you home.” Takeshi Yato also stood up and said to Shinji beside him.

As a teacher, he couldn't bear to see Shinji go home alone.

Since we've already missed our stop, we might as well see this young man off.

"This... I live in Tokyo-3, which should be quite far from here." Shinji looked at the blank station name outside the train door and realized that he had really come to another dimension, but fortunately, he had a normal person with him.

"Third New Tokyo City?"

"Never heard of it... I only know Tokyo." Yato Takeshi tilted his head in confusion upon hearing the strange city name.

The two followed several other passengers off the train and arrived at an empty station.

"Strange... Even at night, there shouldn't be a single person in the train station." Yato Takeshi looked at the empty station and sensed something was wrong.

“This… must be another dimension,” Shinji said.

"Another dimension?"
