Ultraman: It turns out this is the easy mode.

The Catan alien, believing it had successfully evaded Troy's detection, secretly rejoiced within the little girl's body. While maintaining the girl's facade of normalcy, it plotted its next move against Taro. At this moment, it had no idea that Troy was already targeting it, and danger was closing in on it step by step.

The little girl was walking down the street as usual when suddenly, a small dog darted out from the sidewalk and rushed straight across the road. With cars coming and going, and the dog about to be hit by a speeding vehicle, the little girl (actually, it was an instinct driven by a Catan alien) instinctively rushed over to save the dog. This was a common scene on the street, but for the Catan alien, it was the beginning of a nightmare.

What made the Catan aliens' lungs stop was that the direction the little dog ran off in happened to be not far from the front door of Cui Ming and Kotaro's patrol car. At that moment, the two patrol cars had already entered drill mode, a preparation for emergencies, originally intended to break through obstacles or deal with monster attacks. But in the eyes of the Catan aliens, the drill looked like a deadly weapon coming straight at them.

"You beast! What are you doing?!" The Catan alien roared madly inside the little girl's body, filled with despair. It never imagined that this suddenly appearing puppy would put it in such a desperate situation. It watched in horror as the patrol car drew closer, trying to control the little girl and escape immediately, but its legs seemed nailed to the ground, unable to move. A huge fear enveloped it, as if the end of the world was about to come.

Fortunately, although Cui Ming was ruthless, he wasn't so depraved as to drill directly at the little girl. Kotaro quickly slammed on the brakes, and the patrol car stopped just inches away from the little girl and the dog, the tires screeching against the ground.

Kotaro pushed open the car door and strode to the little girl's side, his tone full of anxiety and reproach: "Little girl, how could you do this! There are so many cars on the road, it's so dangerous!" Kotaro's voice unconsciously rose a few decibels, his brows were tightly furrowed, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, clearly he was quite frightened by what had just happened.

The little girl was startled by Kotaro's imposing manner and instinctively shrank back. Her eyes instantly filled with tears, and she said in a sobbing voice, "I...I'm sorry, I saw the puppy was about to be hit by a car, and I wanted to save it..."

Cui Ming also got out of the car and stood to the side, arms crossed, his gaze sweeping over the little girl with a scrutinizing look. He knew in his heart that this seemingly ordinary act of rescuing a dog might be part of an enemy's scheme.

Cui Ming had seen far too much.

The little girl tried to calm herself down and continued, "I have a brother who used to always rescue small animals. Once, while trying to save a puppy crossing the road, he was hit by a car... and he never came back." At this point, the little girl could no longer hold back her tears, which welled up in her eyes, and she cried even more sadly.

Listening from the side, Cui Ming thought to himself, "A person who takes absolutely no responsibility..."

You love those animals, but then you leave the pain to your own family.
He knew that the Catan alien hidden within this so-called "little girl" wouldn't be swayed by a sentimental story. However, in front of Kotaro, he couldn't directly expose her. He could only suppress his murderous intent and quietly wait for the right opportunity to expose this assassin lurking in the shadows. Terrifying! So terrifying!
The Catan alien trembled inside the little girl's body. It could clearly feel Cui Ming's faint yet persistent gaze fixed on it, a gaze like icy needles pricking its "skin" until it felt numb. Unlike Cui Ming's calm demeanor, ready to kill at any moment, it was now almost crying with fear. Its consciousness shrank into a ball inside the little girl's body, and even its energy trembled uncontrollably.

No! Otherwise, just give me a quick death?! The Catan alien screamed inwardly. Rather than be slowly tormented by this invisible fear, it would rather Cui Ming pull out his entrenching tool and give itself a quick stab right now, at least that would be quicker.

Holy crap! Bro! Stop looking at me like that!!! I'm scared! It felt like its heart was about to jump out of its chest. Cui Ming's gaze, though seemingly harmless, was more suffocating than high-temperature flames and poisonous smoke, as if it would be crushed into powder by that gaze in the next second.

"You brat! Why the hell are you leaving?!" The Catan alien was jumping up and down in his mind, but the little girl's body seemed to be nailed to the spot. All the energy she had when she rescued the dog was gone. Now she was staring down at her toes, as if she was reliving Kotaro's criticism.

Stop talking nonsense! Run! Move!!! Dead legs! It tried its best to control the body to move, but the little girl's instincts seemed to be working against it. Her legs felt like they were filled with lead, let alone running. Even lifting her feet was difficult. The Catan alien watched helplessly as Cui Ming's figure became clearer and clearer in his field of vision. Fear and despair overwhelmed him like a tidal wave—this wasn't an assassination attempt on Taro; he had clearly delivered himself to Storm One as a target!

Cui Ming's gaze was like a sharp scalpel, precisely dissecting every subtle movement of the little girl. Beneath that seemingly innocent exterior, he detected the unique energy fluctuations of the Katan aliens; that eerie aura, like an evil phosphorescent flame flickering in the darkness, could not escape his perception. He was now 100% certain that an alien was hiding within this little girl.

However, Cui Ming didn't act immediately. He glanced at Kotaro beside him, secretly thinking that this was a good opportunity to train Kotaro. Kotaro had been training with him and the Katan aliens for a long time, and theoretically, his sense of danger should be extremely sharp. Yet, he hadn't noticed the little girl's unusual behavior, most likely because the Katan aliens were concealing their murderous intent and carefully hiding themselves. If Kotaro couldn't even detect this situation of being possessed by an alien but temporarily harmless, then his training was far from sufficient.

Cui Ming's lips curled up slightly, and a hint of barely perceptible expectation flashed in his eyes. He silently calculated that if Kotaro really failed to discover it this time, he would have to give him extra training when they returned to the base.

Katachon's training system is rigorous and efficient, with extreme physical training, exposure to deadly flora and fauna, and near-brutal combat trials all designed to hone warriors to their limits. Kotaro possesses considerable talent, but in this perilous universe, any negligence can be fatal. Choi is determined to mold Kotaro into a truly invincible warrior, capable of instantly detecting and delivering a fatal blow to any enemy lurking in the shadows. (End of Chapter)
