Ultraman Any Key: Qiming

Chapter 140 136. Paraji

The Ganan people who came to invade the North Pole of the Earth were reduced to ashes along with the mechanical island. After releasing the high-temperature beam, Taganula, who was saved, returned to the underground through the hole it dug.

Everything ended perfectly - that was six days ago.

This afternoon, after six days of accumulation, Qi Ming's Star Gift returned to 9 o'clock.

"Enemies made entirely of machines are so annoying. They have no life energy and don't drop Star Blessings when they die."

"Fortunately, there are relatively few enemies of this type, otherwise we would be out of money sooner or later."

"Luckily I turned into Gaia, otherwise I wouldn't have the energy to fly back."

In his room, Qi Ming was watching the news while recalling what happened a few days ago.

He had already turned to the news from three years ago.

"A scholar named Yuichi Sakata, who specializes in the study of the ancient Silk Road."

"He firmly believed that there was an ancient city called 'Palaji' in the Arabian Desert and that it still existed today."

"He also believed that Paraji was a 'line of defense', blocking a terrifying creature. Once Paraji was breached, that terrifying monster would appear and destroy human civilization."

"But because the world didn't agree with his 'alarmist' rhetoric, he died of depression at home three years ago."

Seeing this, Qi Ming sighed that there are so many "mountains" in the world.

He knew very well that Praj existed.

"That horrible creature, I think it's the 'Magnetic Monster Antonra'."

"Speaking of which, who is the 'God of Noah' that Palaji worships?"

"Many netizens said it was Zoffy, but some were convinced it was Noah, whose image hadn't been finalized yet."

"There should be a 'Blue Stone' enshrined in the city of Paraji. What will happen if I scan this 'holy relic' with any Ultraman key?"

"Can you give me a Paraji shield that can travel through time and space?"

Qi Ming felt a little longing and wondered whether he should go there when the monsters were not around.

At the same time, in the Victory Team Command Room, several people in the mountains were also happily discussing.

Huimei: "Have you heard? Three days ago, a huge meteorite fell in the Middle East."

"Both Türkiye and India have sent people to investigate, but their whereabouts are unknown... This is another unusual incident."

Yamanaka: "I think the meteorite must have brought a space monster with it, and all the investigators were killed by it."

Kishida takes a different view:

"Then why didn't they send any information back? If a monster really attacked them, they should be able to send back video footage of the monster before they died to warn those who come after them."

"According to Huimei, those people lost communication with the outside world after entering the desert."

"I think that meteorite is not a monster. It may have strong electromagnetic interference capabilities."

"When those people entered the desert, all their electronic devices failed due to the interference, and they eventually lost their way in the desert."

Moroboshi: "Will you let us attack?"

Nishijo Nagi: "TPC doesn't have a branch in the Middle East. If we attack without authorization, it will easily cause misunderstandings."

Zhu Xingtuan said with emotion: "The Earth is now facing a huge challenge. Humanity should unite completely, abandon past prejudices and focus their strength."

No one responded. Even Yamanaka didn't want to embarrass their respected captain.

How is it possible for humanity to be completely united?

And talking about this while talking about the Middle East was a bit... the atmosphere was a bit awkward when a message popped up on Huimei's tablet.

She breathed a sigh of relief, thinking she could finally move on to the next topic:

"Emergency intelligence from Europe: a massive 'metal lifeform' is rapidly flying eastward."

"Tokyo is also on its route... so it won't always come to our place."

Zhu Xingtuan: "Don't be careless, ask for instructions immediately."

Soon, the staff came to a decision.

Considering that Tokyo might become a target of attack, it was decided to send the Victory Team in advance to intercept.

"It is best to have the battle take place in an uninhabited desert area to avoid losses in the city."

"We've already negotiated with them. There won't be any international disputes, don't worry."

Qi Ming rushed over after receiving the emergency notice. As soon as he saw the picture on the main screen, he immediately confirmed that this was the [Metal Lifeform Apatae] in the third episode of "Gaia" "Named Gaia".

In the original drama, it was in space and caught the information about Gaia broadcast on the news program through the radio waves of the broadcast satellite, and headed towards Tokyo, where the message was sent.

It came specifically to kill Ultraman.

"A metal life form, since it is a living form, then this thing will definitely be given a star gift after it dies!" Qi Ming was not afraid at all and was ready to attack.

Soon, the attack list was finalized.

Nishijo Nagi, Kishida, Yamanaka, and Qi Ming will take the Feiyan II to meet the attack.

"Move out!" Nagi Nishijo, who was sitting in the main driving seat, pushed the lever and Feiyan II moved forward.

After more than two hours, everyone entered a desert.

Looking down from Feiyan-2, the endless sand dunes below are like a golden ocean, with cracks crisscrossing like scars on the earth.

Kishida said: "According to calculations, we will see the enemy after crossing this desert. We must be prepared to fight them."

Yamanaka nodded. "By the way, is this the desert where the meteorite landed a few days ago and all the investigators disappeared?"

Nishijo Nagi: "Yes, but the Arabian Desert is very large, and the area where the meteorite fell is very far away from us."

Yamanaka: "That means unless the meteorite moves, we won't be sucked in, right?"

Qi Ming immediately became alert: "What's going on with a meteorite falling and all the investigators disappearing?"

Kishida then summarized the topic everyone had just discussed and repeated it: "Team member Qi Ming, can you deduce what happened?"

Qi Ming: "This..."

There are many cases in Ultraman where meteorites have landed, bringing extraterrestrial disasters that have wiped out all the investigators. With just this little information, how can he know which one it is?
The meteorite that landed in the desert caused the investigator to be lost forever. Was it Bruton?

At this time, Shanzhong excitedly pointed out a mountain range in the distance and said, "Look, it's Mount Ararat!"

Kishida: "Where is Noah's Ark supposedly finally arrived? It seems the ancient civilization of 'Palagi,' just as mysterious as 'Loulan,' is also in this area."

Qi Ming's expression changed: "Are you saying that Palaji is here too?"

Kishida: "Palagi is a mysterious place like Atlantis. It's hard to say whether it exists or not."

"But a scholar named Yuichi Sakata believes that Paraji is in this area."

Qi Ming: "Palaji, a meteorite has landed in the desert, and investigators have lost contact... Turn around and get out of here!"

But it's too late.
