Ultraman, is this defense team up with you?

After bowing and expressing his gratitude, Mitsuhiko Ishibori once again wore an incredulous expression, somewhat helpless.

"Captain, please stop teasing me, okay?"

Zaki smiled apologetically, but was inwardly quite annoyed.

That damn bastard, once I regain my strength, I'll definitely take you down too.

Jugglus, unaware of Zaki's thoughts, smiled and shook his head.

“This time I’m not kidding. Your mistake is more serious, and it will be difficult to explain to the director.”

"Yes!"

Although he cursed Hebikura Shota in his heart, Zagi could only obediently admit defeat.

At the same time, I felt extremely remorseful.

If I had known Tiga could transform, I could have easily defeated Golza no matter what, and I wouldn't have wasted that Specium Ray.

And...the hatred was transferred to Director Tsuchihashi Yu.

The captain's meaning was quite clear.

If it weren't for this old man's interference, given the captain's protective nature, he would most likely have let them off easily. It's all Tsuchihashi Yu's fault!

"Ahem! Anyway, don't be discouraged."

After dealing with the troublesome Matsunaga Yoichiro, Jugglus Juggler didn't forget to commend his teammates.

"Humans are insignificant in the face of monsters. As long as we can eliminate the monsters, we are worthy of this uniform and do not need to care about battle losses."

As he spoke, he nodded affirmatively at Ye Cheng.

"Yes, Captain!"

Regardless of what everyone thinks in private, they are at least outwardly very cooperative.

"Team Member Kirisaki, the power of the Specium Ray Cannon is quite good, but the director is not satisfied with the conventional firepower and hopes to improve it, at least to match Ultraman's arrow-shaped beam."

"Okay, I'll go and look into it later."

Torregia didn't take this trivial matter to heart.

Jugglus nodded; he still trusted Kirisaki's brilliant mind.

"That's all for now. You're all tired, so get some rest. Contact me anytime if anything comes up."

After informing his team members, Jugglus quickly left the command room.

He also needed to follow up on the Matsunaga Yoichiro incident to at least ensure that the higher-ups would not target the GUTS team with human experimentation again.

However, at the same time, Jugglus Juggler still had two questions waiting to be answered.

1. Who is the human host of the Titan?

Second, who took the monster's corpse?

Although curious, Jugglus Juggler could distinguish between what was important and what was urgent.

But to Jugglus's surprise, he had only been out of the room for a short while when...

Ye Cheng quickly chased after him out of the room.

"Captain, there's something I'd like to ask you..."

"Ask away." Jugglus Juggler was very patient with his teammates.

"Before Golza and Melba, there were actually monsters on Earth long before, right?"

"Not bad, very sharp judgment."

Jugglus grew to admire Ye Cheng more and more, and didn't hesitate to speak up.

"Your doubts probably stem from the information blockade that TPC has been implementing, coupled with the fact that the memory police have the ability to erase the memories of the person in question from the last few days."

"Memory Police?!"

If the Specium Ray Cannon only surprised Ye Cheng...

The existence of the memory police truly broadened Ye Cheng's horizons.

This is just too scientific.

But... thinking about how Ultraman and monsters had both appeared, Ye Cheng felt relieved.

"Will our memories be erased?"

"No, don't worry. The higher-ups have already decided to change their strategy, and we are a special unit with the right to know."

"I see."

This is probably the real reason why the captain was so willing to answer.

"Any more questions?" Hebikura asked.

"Captain, I've heard that scientists are often quite obsessive, valuing achievement above life itself. If such people find out the project is canceled, they might seize the last opportunity and take a desperate gamble..."

Ye Chengke has not forgotten Sanada Ryosuke's reckless act of using himself as a test subject in the original work.

Although it's uncertain whether Ryosuke Sanada exists in this world.

But if a simple reminder can save a life, a family, or even protect the people around the scene from danger, then it is worthwhile for him to speak up.

Jugglus Juggler gave Ye Cheng a deep look.

His extensive past experience and countless cases of scientists from different civilizations going astray made him very clear that Ye Cheng's guess was very likely to come true.

However, given his personality, even if he knew, he wouldn't interfere.

But since the team member mentioned it, he naturally took it to heart.

At the same time, Jugglus Juggler's opinion of Ye Cheng changed again.

If Ye Cheng were just a clever and quick-witted ordinary person, then Jugglus Juggler's appreciation would probably be limited to that.

However, the qualities Ye Cheng displayed at this moment reminded him of the past, of the figure who had fought alongside him and the Ultra Warrior with similar qualities.

It looks so much like it!

Jugglus Juggler initially agreed, but then a playful smile appeared on his face.

What a coincidence! He also wanted to know who Tiga's alter ego was, but he lacked any leads, so he had to deal with the internal conflicts within TPC first.

But it seems... the other party has come to us willingly.

One of the two major doubts in my mind was immediately eliminated: how wonderful it would be if the person who stole the monster's corpse would also be so proactive in providing information.

Unfortunately, Jugglus Juggler knew that was impossible.

Tiga came to him because he's a good person, so it's natural for them to make contact.

As for the person who stole the monster's corpse... it wasn't that he was suspicious, but rather that his past experiences made Jugglus Juggler afraid to assume the other person was a good person.

Even he, didn't he also have the experience of being unable to control his own destiny and being affected by the Dark Circle?

"I'll keep an eye on this. I'll let you know later if there's any action."

Jugglus Juggler initially agreed, but then abruptly changed the subject.

"However, if the person you saved later complains that you were meddling... will you regret it?"

Jugglus Juggler stared intently at Ye Cheng's expression, not intending to miss a single detail.

"That would be quite annoying. I might even beat him up. I'll still help others afterward, but I won't help him anymore. I respect his personal choice."

Ye Cheng has a clear understanding of his own position.

He was just an ordinary person who had gained power, without the noble character of the human incarnations. He couldn't accept having to swallow his pride and suffer in silence when doing good deeds.

As he answered, Ye Cheng felt a surge of intense curiosity.

If it were Captain Megumi, she might be disappointed.

However, although Captain Hebikura in front of us bears some resemblance to Captain Iruma Megumi, he doesn't seem to be that fond of peace.

Matsunaga, the management officer, deeply understands this point.

Ye Cheng was quite looking forward to seeing what Hebikura's answer would be.

"So, Captain, are you disappointed?"

"No!"

A slightly relieved and contented smile appeared on Hebikura's face.

"On the contrary, I think your idea is very correct: having a sense of justice but not being pedantic. Just like protecting the people is our duty as the victorious team, but that duty doesn't include enduring attacks from mentally ill people, and..."

Hebikura revealed a meaningful smile.

"I hate lunatics the most, especially a bunch of lunatics."

"I have a feeling that you've been through something, Captain."

Jagula: "..."

He patted Ye Cheng on the shoulder with a malicious smile.

"Go back first. Also, I remember you were in logistics before and then transferred to the Victory Team. Your fighting skills and physical fitness probably can't keep up. That won't do. I'll give you some individual training when I have time."

Ye Cheng: "?"

What does fighting monsters have to do with physical ability? It's not like you're turning into Ultraman and going into hand-to-hand combat.

Ye Cheng really wanted to say that, but the captain meant well after all.

Moreover, the special training did indeed help improve his strength after his transformation, so he had no intention of arguing.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Captain. I'll treat you to a meal later."

"No problem." As Hebikura walked away, he waved to Ye Cheng with his back turned.

Chapter 10 Director Tsuchihashi Yu

After parting ways with Captain Hebikura, Ye Cheng returned to the command room.

Kirisaki was no longer there. Apart from the task that Jugglus had just assigned him, Kirisaki, as the weapons expert of the GUTS team, rarely stayed in the command room.

The remaining three, Carmilla and the others, were all very curious about what had just happened when Ye Cheng chased after them.

Ye Cheng briefly explained the situation.

"Memory Police? I didn't know there was such an amazing department and technology."

Carmilla, Helotia, and Mitsuhiko Ishibori all suddenly realized what was happening, their eyes wide with amazement.

But inwardly they both had their own doubts.

So, the victorious team shouldn't even have known about this?

Ye Cheng, unaware of what the three were thinking, picked up his pen and prepared to write his self-criticism.

During this time, Helotia sat in front of the computer, lost in thought and in a daze.

Mitsuhiko Ishibori was writing a self-criticism, just like him.

As for Carmilla... after making an extremely exaggerated invitation, she simply stared straight at Ye Cheng with her chin resting on her hand.

How should I describe that look?

It doesn't feel like the first stirrings of love between a man and a woman; it's more like possessiveness towards a toy.

Tsk, that does fit the style of a mature, sophisticated woman.

But wouldn't that be too promiscuous?

Regardless of what Carmilla is really thinking, we'll find out tonight.
