Ultraman Any Key: Qiming

Chapter 229 225. Audience: Is TPC the home of aliens? (3K)

At this time, the senior executives had no idea that civil unrest was about to begin, and they were conducting a press conference in an orderly manner.

Strangely, only Team Member Goto and Dr. Touma were present, with Team Member Radar nowhere to be seen.

Commander Takakura asked someone to urge him while watching Tsuchihashi Yuu go on stage under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

Yu Tsuchihashi stood on the podium of the press conference, his eyes sweeping over the reporters and audience below with a calm smile on his face.

Although his body has not fully recovered, his aura is still strong, as if everything is under control.

Tsuchihashi Yu's voice was steady and powerful, carried throughout the venue through the microphone:
"As the core force of Earth's defense, the Victory Team has always shouldered the responsibility of protecting humanity and maintaining world peace."

"But times are advancing, and threats are constantly evolving. To meet new challenges, we must continue to innovate and enhance our combat capabilities."

"Therefore, after careful consideration and rigorous selection, we have made personnel adjustments to the Victory Team."

"Every one of the new Victory Team members is an elite selected by me personally and has my full trust."

"They not only possess outstanding abilities, but also strong beliefs and a high sense of responsibility."

"I believe they will be better than their predecessors and more capable of handling this difficult task."

Personally selected and trusted!

As soon as these two words came out, Staff Officer Gondo, who was sitting in the back, twitched slightly and tried hard to suppress his emotions.

You have to hold on and not show any abnormality.

The reporters who did not know the truth and the citizens watching TV were deeply moved.

They thought that Director Yu Tsuchihashi was indeed great. Even though he had been attacked by evil aliens a few days ago and almost died in the line of duty and was immortalized, he was still working hard for the future of the Earth.

After Tsuchihashi Yu left, Commander Takakura, who was also the captain of the Victory Team, came to the stage to speak.

He used similar clichés:

"The new team members not only have extremely high personal qualities, but also have a high degree of teamwork spirit."

"I believe that with their efforts, the Victory Team will continue to protect the peace of the Earth and repel all threats!"

"Everyone, look! This is the Hibiki-2, piloted by our crew member Uchida. Today, it will fly over the skies of all of Japan. The whole country celebrates!"

After saying that, the camera turned to the outside.

I saw a Feiyan-2 plane rushing out from the sea base, drawing a graceful arc in the air, and flying outside.

Seeing this, Qi Ming said: "Okay, I'll leave this guy to you."

Ji Yajun nodded, took out the energy blaster gun, bent the handle, and then fired a flare into the sky.

The next moment, the airship "Stone Wing" descended from the sky.

After Ji Yajun lay down, he controlled the Stone Wing to chase after Feiyan No. 2.

At the same time, many members of the Defense Forces were also watching the press conferences of their competitors.

"Qi Ming was actually fired. Is this true? I must be dreaming." Liu Chun, who was leaning on a crutch, couldn't believe it either.

Sitting across from him, Hiraoki Hiraoki also knew a lot about Qi Ming, who had an outstanding record:

"How could such a talented person be transferred away from the front line? What did he do wrong? Could he have beaten the director?"

"By marginalizing such talent, have TPC become too complacent recently and are they courting their own destruction?"

The next moment, his phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number.

After he answered the phone, Qi Ming's voice came from inside: "Hello, is this Brigadier General Hiroyuki? I'm Qi Ming. We met when we were dealing with the Tyroches incident."

Hiiragi Hiroyuki's eyes suddenly lit up, and he, who was always calm, greeted with a warm tone:
"Mr. Qi Ming, right? I understand you've been treated unfairly at TPC."

"Come to the Defense Force. Here, ability is paramount, which is very suitable for you to play."

"I promise to give you treatment and status that match your abilities."

Liu Chun, who was standing by, also heard that it was Qi Ming who came over, and quickly came over:
"Is that Qi Ming? You don't have to worry about the unpleasant things that happened before. What's in the past is in the past. My leg is almost healed."

"If you can come and be my comrade, I would be very willing."

He felt that the reason Qi Ming wanted to protect the monster was because he was led astray by TPC.

As long as you come to the defense force, you will be corrected.

Qi Ming on the other end of the phone was probably stunned:
"Well... thank you for your affirmation, but I'm here just to get the defense forces ready. The fleet of vampire plants will soon be attacking from South America."

"We'll have some internal troubles at TPC soon, but we'll have to rely on your defense forces to handle the external battles first."

Hiiragi Hiroyuki's heart trembled: "Is the news reliable?"

Qi Ming: "If you have collected intelligence on me, you will know that I would never talk nonsense about such things."

After hanging up the phone, Hirahiro Hiroyuki and Ryujun thought for a long time with gloomy faces.

Hiiragi Hiroyuki: "In any case, remind Commander Sawara to be prepared. If nothing happens, just treat it as a drill."

"If anything happens, it's time for us, the Defense Force, to save the world!"

..............................

Elsewhere, the press conference was open for questions. A male reporter raised his hand and asked, "What about Team Member Qi Ming, who single-handedly took out a whole group of Crows? Is such a talent also going to be relegated to the sidelines?"

Commander Gaocang was well prepared for this. He said calmly:
"The Victory Team is not a stage for one person to perform acrobatics, but a battle of the whole team."

"And a certain team member previously mistook the platform for his own ability."

"If new team members use the equipment developed by the Victory Team, they will only do better through close teamwork."

KCB's Reiko raised her hand and said, "Can they also knock down a five-meter-tall monster with one punch?"

Upon hearing this, Commander Takakura's tone froze.

This was the reason why he subconsciously retreated when facing Qi Ming before. This guy’s combat record was really too strong.

He coughed and said, "This team member may have some strengths in individual combat, and due to coincidental timing, he performed exceptionally well."

"But he always neglected his duties. He didn't come to daily training, didn't write mission reports, and was never seen on duty."

"No matter how good a fighter this kind of person is, he's a scourge to the team."

"Our new team members are dedicated to their duties and fulfill their responsibilities. They are good team members worthy of the trust of the citizens."

"Director Tsuchihashi Yu believes this, and I believe this as well. I can promise this to everyone."

Commander Takakura realized his own gaffe as he spoke. No matter what, it was inappropriate to belittle a former team member who had many honors in front of the public.

Fortunately, he took it back in the end... Thinking of this, he looked at Director Tsuchihashi Yu and found that he nodded to him with satisfaction.

The reporters discussed this and felt that this was logical.

After all, it is really unreasonable to knock down a five-meter monster with one punch. It seems that there are indeed a lot of tricks and water in it.

The advantages of this team member Qi Ming are not enough to cover up his shortcomings, so he was "optimized".

Then, it was time for the team members to speak.

Goto, in the form of Kyronia, walked up to the stage with a stiff expression and spoke into the microphone.

"I love human beings very much." This was Goto's opening statement.

He loves humanity, so he will do his utmost to protect them—that’s probably what he would say, the reporters thought.

As a result, Goto's next words made people's faces change drastically.

"My people also love humans and the blood in your bodies."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's face changed drastically and the reporters were in an uproar.

After Qi Ming's reminder, Quan Teng and He Zhi, who had been wary of him for a long time, winked at their men, and several security guards immediately drew their guns.

"Are you going to overturn the table?" Nishijo Nagi and Kishida Yamanaka were also on guard.

Because Qi Ming withstood the pressure, their Victory Hap gun was still in their hands.

Facing a crowd of bewildered and wary gazes, Goto, standing in front of the camera, spoke incessantly.

"So I hope you won't resist and become our slaves."

"In order to be able to drink fresh human blood, we will allow you to live."

"Of course, you might not be able to accept being kept in captivity. Therefore, our fleet of vegetative people will use their absolute strength to disarm you and force you to become our blood food!"

Tsuchihashi Yuu on the side was stunned, and Commander Takakura also looked as if he had seen a ghost.

"Captain Goto, are you talking in your sleep?" Commander Takakura's face was full of anger.

This press conference is the beginning of a new journey for the Victory Team and a rising point for his future career. How can it be so ugly?

"This is not a dream, this guy is an alien!" Chief of Staff Goto's confidant, Saeki Rika, pointed a gun at Goto.

The reporters and viewers in front of the TV were stunned and confused by this huge reversal.

Could it be that the highly trusted New Victory team member is actually an alien race that wants to enslave humans?
Commander Takakura felt dizzy and almost fainted.

It’s over, it’s all over!

This is a huge scandal!
The next moment, the ten vegetative people hiding in the crowd immediately revealed their true forms and opened fire towards Tsuchihashi Yu.

"Director, be careful!" Tsuchihashi Yu's secretary threw Tsuchihashi Yu to the ground, but he was shot several times in the back and died on the spot.

Blood splattered on Tsuchihashi Yu's face.

"Uh...uh..." Even Tsuchihashi Yu, who had experienced many storms, couldn't help but tremble violently in his eyes.

"Oh, the show is about to begin." Dr. Touma clapped his hands and walked forward.

"This guy is also an enemy!" Yamanaka took out the Victory HEPA rifle and pulled the trigger at him, wanting to get rid of him first.

But it missed.

It's not that his accuracy was lacking, but Dr. Touma removed his mimicry in an instant, restored himself to the human-sized form of the Slan alien, and dodged the bullet at the critical moment with an extremely fast speed.

This is the Slan star, his title is - [High-speed Astronaut]!
"Oh my God!" The reporters present and the audience in front of the TV were shocked again.

This is also an alien!
This is the person personally selected by Director Yu Tsuchihashi and whom he deeply trusts?
Is this the new member who Staff Officer Takakura promised us would abide by his duties and fulfill his responsibilities?

Why are they all aliens?
Damn, is TPC the home of aliens?
