Ultraman: It turns out this is the easy mode.

It wasn't long before Sawai and Yoshioka learned that Cui Ming was hunting down the Kirieloids.

The two men sat in the break room of the TPC command center, looking at the report handed to them by their subordinates. Their faces showed no surprise, but rather an expression of approval.

Sawai picked up her teacup, gently blew away the foam, and ran her fingertips along the rim. Her tone was tinged with satisfaction: "You see, Old Cui's personality is perfect for dealing with these ill-intentioned aliens. He's decisive and doesn't mince words; he strikes when the time is right."

Yoshioka tapped his fingers crisply on the report, a smile of approval playing on his lips, his tone tinged with self-deprecation: "You're right! I'm a 'hawk' by all accounts, but I'm nowhere near as good as him. I was just thinking about whether to call in the police to help with the encirclement, but he's already cleared out all the lone ones. His efficiency is truly remarkable."

“The Kirieloids struck first, daring to attack Cui Ming’s family. There’s no reasoning with them.” Zei took a sip of tea, his tone calm yet undeniably firm. “We TPCs value procedural justice, but the aliens may not buy into that. Cui Ming is giving them a taste of their own medicine, letting them know that Earth is not to be trifled with.”

Yoshioka raised an eyebrow, slammed the report on the table, and said with a voice full of agreement: "You're right! I've said it before, we have to teach these guys who treat the Earth as a chessboard and humans as pawns a lesson! I was worried before that doing this might provoke a group backlash from them, but now it seems that I was overthinking it. These guys are just bullies who pick on the weak and fear the strong."

“He knew what he was doing.” Sawai put down his teacup, his gaze falling on the words “all energy beings destroyed, no civilians affected” in the report. His tone was more approving. “It only targeted lone Kirieloids, without disturbing ordinary people or leaving any obvious traces of the battle. It was much more efficient than us sending out fighter jets to encircle and annihilate them, and it saved a lot of trouble afterward.”

"That's more than just efficient! That's a real warning to others!" Yoshioka raised his voice, then quickly realized the situation and lowered it to add, "Let those aliens hiding in the shadows see what happens when they mess with the wrong people. From now on, our police department can handle these alien disturbances with more confidence!"

Sawai smiled, tapping the statistics at the end of the report with her fingertip, her tone affirmative: "In just two hours, the activity signals of the Kirieloids decreased by 70%, the effect was immediate. Sometimes, this kind of direct approach is much more effective than holding layers of meetings and formulating contingency plans."

Yoshioka nodded emphatically, his eyes full of agreement, and his tone was resolute: "That's right! Rather than waiting for them to gather enough strength before making a big move, it's better to beat them hard and scare them now! Old Cui made the right move!"

The two exchanged a glance and saw the same relief in each other's eyes—with a ruthless character like Cui Ming, who dared to fight and take risks, Earth had an extra layer of solid confidence in dealing with cosmic threats.

Sawai put down his teacup, tapped the report lightly with his fingertip, and said with a touch of emotion in his eyes, "Speaking of which, although we knew before that Old Cui was a combat expert and that he was ruthless and accurate in dealing with monsters and aliens, we now realize that he's not just good at head-on combat!"

Yoshioka immediately chimed in, his tone full of genuine admiration: "Absolutely! I only thought he was a tough guy on the battlefield, someone who dared to charge and fight, but I never expected him to be so amazing at assassinations! Look at what the report says, he always takes care of things silently, even cleaning up the energy residue perfectly. He's even more efficient than our police department's specially trained special forces." "I originally thought he could only engage in direct combat, after all, when dealing with those giant monsters, he always charged straight in and fought them head-on, causing chaos and destruction." Sawai smiled, his tone carrying a hint of sudden realization, "Now it seems we underestimated his abilities—whether it's a head-on clash on the battlefield or this kind of covert and precise hunting, he can handle it all with ease."

Yoshioka stroked his chin, recalling the video he'd seen in the command center of Cui Ming dealing with monsters, then compared it to the hunt report before him, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, "That's real skill! Most people would either only know how to fight head-on without any flexibility, or only know how to assassinate and avoid the light of day. It's rare to see someone as proficient in both. Look at his hunt for the Kirieloids this time—he didn't alert a single civilian, nor did he give them any chance to retaliate. That control is absolutely amazing!"

Sawai nodded slightly, his gaze falling again on the report's note that "no witnesses, no civilians were frightened," his tone more approving: "He's always thorough in his work, and no matter what kind of combat method he uses, he can do it decisively and without dragging things out. We were secretly worried that he might cause a big commotion, but now it seems that was completely unnecessary—he knows better than anyone how to solve problems efficiently without leaving any aftereffects."

Yoshioka suddenly laughed, his tone slightly teasing: "Speaking of which, if those Kirieloids he hunted knew that they were quietly eliminated by a 'battlefield brute' who usually kills giant monsters, they'd probably be so angry that their energy bodies would disintegrate on the spot, right? The contrast is just too great!"

Sawai smiled as well, tapping the table lightly with her fingertips, her tone full of agreement: "No matter what, he was able to carry out the 'assassination' so thoroughly. Even though he usually assassinates giant monsters tens of meters tall, at least now, dealing with these Kirieloids hiding in the crowd, he truly achieved 'killing them all without leaving a trace'—as long as the threat is eliminated, that's enough, isn't it?"

Yoshioka nodded emphatically, picked up the report and quickly scanned it again, his tone confident: "Absolutely! The ability to solve problems is a good ability. Old Cui's move not only solved the problem of the Kirieloids in front of us, but also intimidated other aliens hiding in the shadows, making them dare not provoke us easily. It's killing two birds with one stone!"

They both laughed; since Lao Cui had already tried so hard...
They can't hold us back either!

Whatever Lao Cui needs, they will prepare it!
It's a very simple thing!

After all, they don't have much fighting power, but Old Cui does!

Old Cui can do these things easily! Then we have nothing more to say!
Old Cui, whatever you need, we'll prepare it for you! It's that simple!
Meanwhile, the Kirieloids...
That would be terrible.
Because Cui Ming's assassination attempts are still ongoing. (End of Chapter)
