Fujimiya Hiroya instinctively took the bottle, unscrewed the cap, and tilted his head back to drink it.
The icy liquid, bubbly and refreshing, washed over his throat, dispelling the burning sensation of coughing. After downing half the bottle in one go, he couldn't help but let out a loud burp.
The hiccups sounded particularly loud around the quiet bench.
The movement stopped.
Fujimiya Hiroya abruptly turned his head away, refusing to look at Li Qingyang beside him, an unnatural blush creeping up his neck.
Sometimes, a cool and aloof image can crumble in an instant...
"..."
"..."
After a long silence, it was Fujimiya Hiroya who broke the awkward silence first.
Where is Klaus?
His voice was a little hoarse, and his gaze still didn't turn back.
"It self-destructed."
Li Qingyang suppressed a laugh, leaning lazily against the back of the bench, looking up at the blue sky fragmented by the leaves, and sighed, "I was originally planning to pry the source of the Destruction Summoning Entity's lair out of him, and then go straight there to kill him."
"I never expected this guy to rush over and self-destruct without warning, blowing himself to smithereens. He truly is a completely brainwashed suicide soldier."
Klaus, who wanted to surrender but was forced to self-destruct after Bizom seized control of his body: ...Yes, that's right.
Fujimiya Hiroya remained silent for a longer time, slowly finishing the remaining half bottle of cola. The cool liquid helped clear his mind a little.
Lost in thought, he suddenly asked, "You clearly know so much about the future of this world, yet you don't know where the source of destruction is?"
How could I possibly know? I'm just someone watching videos.
The screenwriter probably hasn't even figured out where the final boss's lair is yet, so how am I, a viewer, supposed to know?
Li Qingyang silently complained in his heart, but casually replied, "I'm not omniscient, I just happen to know a little more than you guys."
Fujimiya Hiroshi remained silent, neither confirming nor denying.
He screwed the empty Coke bottle cap back on, placed it on the bench, and stared unfocusedly at the children playing on the lawn not far away, and the families bathed in sunlight and full of life further away.
Everything in sight was vibrant, but his eyes seemed to hold nothing.
Li Qingyang reached into his pocket, felt around, and pulled out a few slightly limp banknotes, counting them.
"Would you like something else?" he asked.
Fujimiya Hiroshi remained silent, only shaking his head quietly.
Li Qingyang stood up, patted his pants, and turned to leave.
A moment later, he returned carrying a plastic bag containing two steaming hot paper packets and two bottles of iced cola with water droplets clinging to them.
He took out one of the steamed buns and a bottle of cola, and without saying a word, stuffed them into Fujimiya Hiroya's arms. Then he sat down, tore open the paper package, and continued eating.
“How could a disciplined Ultraman eat so little?” Li Qingyang mumbled. “Eat.”
"..."
Fujimiya Hiroya picked up the roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) and looked at him silently.
Li Qingyang took a big bite of the roujiamo (Chinese hamburger), the crispy outer layer making a soft crunching sound, and a little bit of hot meat juice spilled from the corner of his mouth, which he wiped away with a tissue.
He ate with great relish.
Fujimiya Hiroshi just watched, and after a while, he silently lowered his head and took a bite of the steamed bun in his hand.
"People who are hungry are prone to overthinking."
Li Qingyang ate while talking, his gaze fixed on the distance, as if he were talking to himself.
"When you're hungry and your thoughts are filled with bitterness and resentment, it's easy to go to extremes and get stuck in a rut."
He swallowed a large mouthful of food and took a sip of cola.
"Before becoming Ultraman, I was a doctor, an orthopedic surgeon."
Li Qingyang's voice was calm, and he didn't look at Fujimiya Hiroya beside him.
“I have seen many patients. Some children fall from heights and their arms are broken like twisted dough, but I can set them back together, and they can be running around again a few months later. Some workers have their legs crushed by machines, and their bones are shattered like dust. When they are brought to me, the only option is amputation.”
“There were also car accidents where the entire pelvis was shattered. The person was still breathing when they were wheeled into the operating room. Several hours later, when I opened the operating room door, all I could do was tell the family that we had done our best.”
He paused for a moment, then took another bite of the roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) and chewed it slowly in his mouth.
"Tell me, if there's someone I can't save, won't I feel bad? Of course I will. Seeing their family break down in front of me, I'll also wonder if I didn't do something right."
"But the sun will still rise the next day as usual. Can I stop because of that?"
Fujimiya Hiroya stopped moving and finally turned his head to look at the black-haired boy beside him.
Why are you telling me all this?
“Because I think you need to hear these things right now.” Li Qingyang turned away from the distance, looked at him, and smiled calmly.
"How was it? Did you feel like the clouds had parted and the sun was shining through, like you suddenly understood something, or like you had attained enlightenment and ascended to heaven?"
"..."
Fujimiya Hiroshi remained silent, it was unclear whether he had understood or not, he just ate his steamed bun in silence, eating very slowly, his eyes fixed on the children laughing and playing in the park.
"Take a sip of Coke, don't choke." Li Qingyang tapped the Coke bottle next to him with his finger.
"......No."
"...Zero IV Weeping Shrimp Er put Yueyi. No need."
Fujimiya Hiroya finished his second roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) and slowed down.
A tissue appeared in front of him.
He silently took it, wiped his mouth, neatly placed the empty Coke bottle and paper packet on the bench, then stood up to leave.
However, after taking only two steps, he suddenly stopped.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome." Li Qingyang leaned back on the bench without moving. "What are your plans next?"
"Return to the Alchemy Star." Fujimiya Hiroya's voice regained some of its usual coldness, but his clenched fist betrayed the undercurrent beneath. "Completely reset Krissis. This time, I absolutely will not..."
Before he could finish speaking, he loosened his fist, as if swallowing all his words, and strode away.
"and many more."
Fujimiya Hiroya stopped, turned around, and looked at him with a questioning gaze.
"I am very interested in all the technologies of Alchemy Star."
Li Qingyang picked up the bottle of cola that Fujimiya Hiroshi hadn't drunk, stood up, took a few steps and accurately threw the trash into the nearby trash can, then walked back to him. "After all, the science and technology on my side is like traditional Chinese bone setting meeting nanorobot surgery. They're not even in the same league."
“Although I’ve mentioned this to Meng, I think he’s still struggling with how to talk to his superiors. It would be faster if he went to Alchemy Star with you.”
"......it is good."
Fujimiya Hiroya was silent for only a moment before agreeing.
He raised his right hand, and a blue bracelet appeared. The wing-like structure unfolded to both sides, and a circle of cyan light flashed. His figure then disappeared in the light.
Seeing this, Li Qingyang also activated the Uranus Light within his body, locking onto the coordinates of Fujimiya Hiroya's spatial movement within 0.01 seconds.
The next moment, a silvery-white meteor shot into the sky above the land of China, soaring straight into the clouds.
............
XIG Air Base, Command Center.
They managed to come up with a reasonably logical explanation.
Gao Shanwo stood upright, his Adam's apple bobbing involuntarily. His combat uniform was soaked with cold sweat and clung stickily to his skin.
It should be...no problem, right?
He felt that his explanation was logically sound and followed Li Qingyang's instructions perfectly. He only said that he was swept away by the golden light, and after the crisis subsided, he came into contact with Ultraman named Enpat and was then sent back.
As for the request for technical support, he hadn't had a chance to bring it up yet.
Just thinking about how to bring it up was giving him a huge headache.
Just as the atmosphere in the command room was beginning to ease, a sharp alarm suddenly sounded.
"Emergency communication from European branch!"
Georgie Leland's voice echoed in the room, "High-energy reactions detected in the Ruhr region of Germany. Eyewitness reports indicate that a blue giant is battling an unidentified humanoid monster!"
The main screen instantly switched to displaying live satellite imagery.
On the ruins of the ancient castle, a blue giant is fiercely fighting a bizarre humanoid monster, but is clearly at a disadvantage.
Takayama Gamu's eyes widened in surprise.
Agul... Why did Fujimiya go to Germany?
Akio Ishimuro's expression was grave. He immediately ordered, "Order the Lightning Squadron and Falcon Squadron, which are currently returning, to change course and fly directly to the Ruhr region of Germany!"
"Yes!" Atsuko Sasaki immediately began operating.
But before she could even issue the command, the battle situation on the main screen underwent a dramatic change.
A streak of silvery-white light, moving at a speed that even XIG's radar couldn't detect, tore through the dark clouds over Germany, plummeting onto the battlefield like divine punishment, landing precisely between the blue giant and the humanoid monster.
Less than a minute later, Bizom was enveloped in a golden barrier and self-destructed in frustration, exiting the battlefield.
Then, the silver-white figure also turned into countless specks of light and disappeared.
A brief silence fell over the command room.
"Too, too strong..." Georgie's voice trembled slightly, then turned into an excited cheer. She and Atsuko next to her gave each other a high five. "This new Ultraman named Enpat is really too strong!"
Chiba pushed up his glasses, stared at the frozen image on the screen, and muttered to himself, "Truly... overwhelmingly powerful."
Amid a chorus of exclamations, Akio Ishimuro shifted his gaze from the main screen, glanced at Gamu Takayama beside him who was letting out a sigh of relief, and then said seriously.
"Soldiers are cancelled. All aircraft return immediately. Operation complete!"
"Yes!" Atsuko Sasaki responded immediately, her fingers moving rapidly across the control panel to send out the return command.
Akio Ishimuro turned around and his gaze fell on Gamu Takayama.
"My Dream Team Member."
"Yes!" Takayama Gamu's body stiffened, and he instinctively stood at attention.
"Come with me for a moment." Ishimuro Akio said nothing more, then turned and walked towards his office.
Uh... I knew things weren't that simple.
Takayama Kame inwardly groaned, but took a step forward and followed...
............
Twenty minutes later.
The door to the commander's office opened automatically, and Takayama Gamu walked out.
The soft sound of the metal door closing automatically echoed in the quiet corridor.
Finally... we managed to get away with it.
Takayama Gamu let out a long breath, feeling his tense shoulders instantly collapse.
The request for technical support has been explained clearly as Li Qingyang stated.
The other side's Earth technology is very backward, and it does not have an organization like Alchemy Star that brings together the world's top geniuses, so it will be very passive when facing unknown threats.
In order to deal with a common enemy that may emerge in the future, he hopes to obtain help from this side to strengthen humanity's own defense capabilities.
After listening, Commander Ishimura remained silent for a long time before finally saying that he would report the matter and give it serious consideration.
I will seriously consider it...
That means there is hope!
That's great, senior!
Takayama Gamu's lips curled up uncontrollably as she walked towards her room, her steps becoming noticeably lighter.
