Ultraman Any Key: Qiming

Chapter 236 232. Star Gathering, Start!
"Director Tsuchihashi Yu is dead!"

When Chief of Staff Gondo learned the news, his expression changed dramatically.

He smiled unconsciously at first, then realized that there were other people present, and immediately controlled his expression, turning it into a sad look.

If Tsuchihashi Yu died, he would have the opportunity to inherit the throne.

But...how did he die?

It's impossible that he died of anger due to the insults from the citizens. This old fox is a moral vacuum and has a very strong psychological quality.

In the opinion of Chief of Staff Gondo, this incident seemed to be a big deal, but in fact it was not that serious.

Although the general public complained, the "mine" buried by Dohashi Yu did not kill anyone after all, it just brought hidden dangers.

So no one has an irreconcilable life-and-death feud with Yu Tsuchihashi - even if there was, you couldn't rush to TPC's territory to kill people.

The citizens' complaints are just a passing fad, and after half a year, basically no one will mention them anymore.

Therefore, the worst outcome for Tsuchihashi Yuu is to abdicate on the surface and move behind the scenes.

As long as he has money, guns and a group of people with common interests, he will still have real power even if he loses his title, and there will still be room for negotiation.

But he died directly... He really didn't expect it.

"How did he die?" asked Staff Officer Gonto.

Saeki Rika: "He was sniped. It's speculated that the sniper fired from three kilometers away. Director Tsuchihashi Yu was conducting a secret operation at the time and had no escort."

Staff Officer Gondo was shocked: "You can hit someone from such a long distance?"

Saeki Rika: "If he does, then maybe he can do it. That guy has broken common sense in many ways."

He... I mean Qi Ming.

Staff Officer Quan Teng immediately thought of Qi Ming’s previous words... It turned out that it was not a curse, but a death notice.

This is no longer lawlessness, it is breaking a potential tacit understanding and will cause backlash!

For example, during the presidential election, if you see that your support rate is lower than that of the other party and you feel that you are going to lose, you directly hire a killer to kill the other party. What if the other party also uses this method against you?
Are you invincible and immortal?

On the other side, Staff Officer He Zhi also stayed for a long time after receiving the news from Minister Yin.

He actually died... Died when he was in disgrace, so simple.

Minister Yin: "Judging from the modus operandi, I think the murderer might be..."

He hesitated and didn't say the name directly.

He Zhi said directly: "I know who you want to talk about. The only one who has both the motivation and the ability is Qi Ming."

Even he, a hawkish leader, feels ashamed of himself for his ability to take action.

Minister Yin hesitated: "Then... should we arrest the criminal?" This was asking whether he wanted revenge.

Staff Officer He Zhi shook his head. "We're already facing internal and external troubles, so we can't allow this chaos to continue... But we still have to do the superficial work of apprehending the criminals."

Speaking of this, he felt a little emotional.

Before, I saw that Qi Ming had good skills and could cope with emergencies, so I wanted to recruit him to my faction and train him as a confidant.

Now it seems that this idea is ridiculous.

Treat Qi Ming like a subordinate and order him around? It's good enough if he doesn't take the initiative to mess with you.

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

On the other hand, Huimei went to find Nishizaki Tsutomu, to whom she had revealed confidential information, and told him that he would no longer have to live in fear under surveillance.

Nishizaki Tsutomu was incredulous: "I never thought you could really defeat Tsuchihashi Yu."

Huimei looked up at the sky: "But father still didn't come back."

Nishizaki Tsutomu consoled him, "We take one step at a time. The downfall of a man as ambitious as Tsuchiya is already a miracle. Perhaps you can create a second miracle."

After he finished speaking, his cell phone rang. Nishizaki Tsutomu took it out and looked at it: "Did Tsuchiya Yuu do this? This guy is really unfathomable."

Huimei looked over curiously and saw a news report on her phone, saying that an engineering accident three years ago was caused by Tsuchihashi Yu's order to rush the work.

Huimei: “?”

And this thing?

After returning to the offshore base, she discovered that similar news reports were popping up like mushrooms after rain. Some local agencies accused Tsuchiya Yu of causing accidents and food safety risks due to his selfish pursuit of profit.

Even the Defense Forces came out to say that Tsuchihashi Yu was engaging in malicious competition through espionage, which greatly delayed the development of new weapons.

In conclusion, all these wrongdoings were done by the evil Yu Tsuchihashi.

Yamanaka: "That's a lie! As a director, is he always thinking about how to do bad things 365 days a year? This is obviously an attempt to shirk responsibility and throw mud at him."

Nishijo Nagi was also reading the comments below the news: "Many citizens believe it."

The last time Tsuchihashi You was trampled half to death by Qi Ming, countless citizens felt sorry for him, thinking that Tsuchihashi You must have been plotted against by the evil aliens because he was the head of TPC.

It's such a pity. The flag should be flown at half-mast to commemorate this great director and let him be immortalized.

Now the vast majority of people believe that Tsuchihashi Yuma deserves to die, and this is retribution, which is very gratifying!
He has been nailed to the pillar of shame in history and there will be no more twists and turns.

At this time, Qi Ming walked in: "Hey, what are you guys talking about?"

Shanzhong told Qi Ming what had happened: "Isn't this just bullying a dead person who can't say anything back?"

Qi Ming asked, "When he concealed the truth and created a positive image to enjoy the public's praise, he should have thought about the backlash that would come after his lies were exposed."

Zhu Xingtuan waved his hand and called Qi Ming out.

When he arrived at a deserted place, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Don't you feel heavy when you take a life with your own hands?" asked Zhu Xingtuan.

Qi Ming: "Do you think there's any fundamental difference between me and those who execute death row inmates? Tuqiao You's crimes are proven, and public opinion agrees he deserves to be executed. I'm just making special arrangements to execute him."

Moroboshi Tuan originally wanted to say that the law should still be respected, but when he remembered that Tsuchihashi Yu had directly pardoned Masunezaki's behavior, this bloody fact made him unable to speak.

"Let's do less of this kind of thing in the future." Zhu Xingtuan said, and talked about the second matter with Qi Ming.

Moroboshi: "Now that you've learned the location of Atlanta, are you planning to bomb it again with the Super Weapon R1?"

Qi Ming: "If we don't kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, this kind of thing will just keep happening."

Moroboshi: "The Friendship Plan's defensive counterattack is a good idea, deterring through retaliation."

"But everything has its pros and cons, because you can't be sure whether there are innocent people on that planet."

"Besides aliens, there are also underground people on Earth, and there may be civilizations in the ocean."

"Do we have to kill everyone one by one whenever a conflict arises? Ideas can never be completely killed. We need an effective way of communication."

Qi Ming nodded: "So we need a director who can take on the responsibility."

He thought of Director Sawai in "Utiga". If it were him, he would definitely become an excellent helmsman.

Unfortunately, my ability to control the situation is not as good as this god, so I can only take it one step at a time.

At the end of the discussion, Qi Ming also agreed with Seven's idea and felt that the friendship plan should be more cautious.

Before, the Earth could be conquered at any time, so survival was the top priority.

Now, with the increasing number of friendly forces, the situation has developed to the point where three Ultramen are fighting against one alien. He feels that it is time to consider other issues.

For example, reputation, a bad reputation might attract that Drasion...

Soon, two days passed and it was 10 o'clock at Qi Ming's Xingci point.

Qi Ming called Hui Mei to come to the room to prepare for a new round of star gathering.

Qi Ming asked again: "You come and I come?"

Huimei decided to observe for a while. It would be bad if she messed up such a big thing: "You come, you come."

Qi Ming pressed the button, and the four buttons on any key emitted a green laser at the same time, and the four lasers formed a light curtain at the intersection.

A picture appeared on the screen.

It was a flat, bird-like monster.

It's the giant space monster [Bemonstein]!
