Ultraman Any Key: Qiming

Chapter 269 265. The Continuation of the Myth, the Ancient Golden Giant

"Swish!" After shooting into the sky for half a minute, the two Taganuras were exhausted.

After the golden glow that enveloped their bodies due to their overflowing energy dissipated, the two of them looked listless and slowly burrowed back into the ground.

This made Qi Ming secretly surprised.

He remembered that in the original drama, Valaron easily bounced back the light that was sniping at him with his powerful strength, and the two Taganulas died due to the backflow of energy.

Qi Ming was ready to transform into Tiga and teleport to rescue him, but nothing happened.

Could it be that this time Taganula wasn't sniping Valaron?

However, no matter what existence it is, it must not be underestimated if it can make two Taganulas join forces to attack it.

Coupled with the upcoming triple attack of "The Overlord Sleeping on the Moon", "Soldiers of the Moonlit Night" and "Fugitives from the Moon", it is definitely impossible to bring Captain Moroboshi "back home".

"And once Gaia leaves Earth, her combat effectiveness will definitely decline... Let's wait until we get the other A-ranks before we discuss this."

"There is no time to lose, let's act quickly."

According to the order of priority, Qi Ming immediately contacted the Carlo Base.

After the communication was connected, a familiar face appeared on the screen.

The person opposite said, "You are the member of the regiment, Qi Ming, right? I know you."

Zhu Xingtuan was surprised: "Gu Qiao team member!"

In this world, Furuhashi, like Moroboshi, was a member of the previous Victory Team.

After the Victory Team was reorganized, Captain Kiriyama was promoted to staff officer, Tuan Moroboshi was promoted to captain, and Furuhashi was transferred to the Space Development Bureau and then went to the Carlo Base.

Because of Qi Ming's opinion that "the moon is an important outpost and needs to be put in charge by reliable people", he completed the handover last week and was appointed as the head of the Carlo Base by He Zhisheng.

Zhu Xingtuan quickly came to his senses:
"Gu Qiao, the situation is urgent. The monster corpse you found poses a huge hidden danger!"

Qi Ming picked up the important point and said, "It's in a state of suspended animation. If it comes back to life, it will be a big trouble."

"If you have the means, crush it to dust. If you don't, don't touch it. The farther away from it, the better."

In the original drama of "Utiga", the recovered [Mejulang] completely destroyed the Carlo base after recovering from the state of suspended animation, killing everyone except Captain Hayate.

Fortunately, Qi Ming had information, otherwise the tragedy would have happened again.

Gu Qiao also became serious: "I understand."

Qi Ming: "Also, Wang Family Valley is a very strange place, don't go there lightly."

In "Dyna", because the Super Victory Team tried to explore the Valley of the Kings and accidentally opened the seal, it led to the resurrection of the cosmic emperor [Isiris] and the moon almost crashed into the earth.

Gu Qiao: "Staff Officers He Zhi and Inagaki have previously stressed that we should not touch the ruins lightly."

Qi Ming nodded secretly. This was actually what he meant. It seemed that the two of them communicated and implemented it well.

Gu Qiao reacted: "Is this also what you expected, Team Member Qi Ming? You are indeed worthy of being recognized as the 'Little Zhuge Liang'."

Qi Ming's expression froze: "What, Little Zhuge?"

Gu Qiao said proudly, "Although I'm stationed at Carlo Base exploring the moon, I've still heard about your deeds, Team Member Qi Ming. I'm really happy to have you by my side."

With an almost perfect appearance and an amazing physique, he saved the base from danger twice and single-handedly defeated an alien from a factory...

In addition, his ability to "calculate and predict the enemy" and "foresee the enemy's danger like a god" was so legendary that many people who had read "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" gave him the title of "Little Zhuge".

Even though he knew that Gu Qiao believed he could rival Zhuge Liang, the man of both virtue and talent, Qi Ming still felt that the title was too...

Qi Ming: "Well...how about changing the title? I have no objection to 'Little Zhuge', 'Middle Zhuge', 'Big Zhuge', or 'Super Big Zhuge'."

Gu Qiao was surprised: "Eh? Great Zhuge? Team member Qi Ming, do you think you are more powerful than Zhuge Wuhou?"

Qi Ming: "Specific issues require specific analysis."

If Zhuge Liang also had a broken watch of his own, the revival of the Han Dynasty would be just around the corner.

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

After the communication ended, Qi Ming went to the Victory Team Command Room. Hui Mei immediately said:
"Team Leader Qi Ming, the latest news is that the bronze mirror excavated from the construction site has been recovered by the 'Son of God Society Ancient History Research Institute'."

"I just contacted them. They have already recorded the inscription on the edge of the mirror and will send it here soon."

Qi Ming: "Tell them not to let the bronze mirror be exposed to moonlight."

Shan Zhong: "Moonlight? Team member Qi Ming, it's broad daylight now, and the moon will still rise for at least five hours."

Qi Ming glanced at his phone and thought that he indeed had plenty of time.

Saijo Nagi asked, "This bronze mirror, made during the Kofun period, is over a thousand years old. Does it still pose a threat to us?"

Yamanaka: "Also, what exactly is that 'Soldier of the Moonlit Night'?"

The learned Kishida understood this:

"The soldiers of the moonlit night, the legendary invincible army, always kill all the enemies without leaving a single one alive in every battle."

"They have a patron saint named Moshi, who lives in a beautiful spring called Moonlight Spring." "All the soldiers would go to Moonlight Spring the night before going to battle and throw stones into the spring one by one."

Shanzhong pondered, "Using stones as sacrifices? This guardian deity is quite special. He's willing to bless this army by collecting some stones that can be found anywhere."

Moroboshi: "Amagi and Soga also told me this story. They said that Yueye's soldiers finally imprisoned Moshi in the 'Ice Spring', and then they themselves disappeared."

Hui Mei was puzzled and subconsciously glanced at Qi Ming: "Really? Why would they do this to their own patron saint?"

Kishida: "What I'm more concerned about is that this 'Moshi' doesn't really exist."

Qi Ming: "You guessed right. Moreover, this 'Guardian Angel' is completely different from the Ultra Warrior. It is definitely not a good thing."

At this time, a line of text appeared on the big screen. It was an inscription video sent by the "Ancient History Research Institute of the Son of God Society" that recovered the bronze mirror.

Shan Zhong was stunned. "These characters engraved on the ancient artifacts seem to be... Chinese characters? Qi Ming, do you think so?"

Qi Ming nodded: "It's Chinese characters."

Kishida was not surprised: "There's nothing surprising. Before Japan created its own writing system, it used Chinese characters that came from the Tang Dynasty. Qi Ming, you can recognize the information above, right?"

Qi Ming read it out word for word:
"[Mozhi] is sealed here. Once [Mozhi] is released, great disaster will befall the world."

"The soldiers on the moonlit night poured the fear deep in their hearts into the stone and threw it into the spring."

"Mozhi is a monster that devours the soldiers' fear."

"When it awakens again, it will emerge from the Moonlit Spring as a gigantic monster."

Everything works fine so far.

But Qi Ming was very concerned about the following inscriptions, as they were not in the original drama.

"Refugees from the Moon met with our general and reported that the 'rabbit monster' that destroyed their civilization has arrived on Earth."

"It will appear on the night of the full moon. If it is not stopped, the kingdoms on Earth will end just as the moon did."

"We tried to get Moshi to deal with the 'rabbit monster', but instead of doing so, it teamed up with the rabbit monster to wreak havoc on the Earth."

"Just when we were at our wit's end, a giant shining with golden light appeared."

"It answered people's prayers, repelled the rabbit monster, and sealed Moshi in the 'Ice Spring'."

The refugees from the moon, the rabbit monsters that destroyed the lunar civilization...

This sounds like the full moon monster Lunaticus that appeared in the original "Ace" drama and destroyed the civilized moon.

That "giant shining with golden light" sounds so much like Ultraman.

Able to fight off two monsters at the same time, flashing golden light...who is it?
Moroboshi: "It seems that the 'rabbit monster' that once destroyed the lunar civilization is still lurking underground and may reappear at any time."

Yamanaka: "It won't be today anyway, today is a waning moon."

At this time, Huimei said that Gu Qiao, the person in charge of the Carlo base, had called in, and she answered it:

"Team member Qi Ming, new situation. We've lost contact with the members who were responsible for destroying the monster's corpse."

"I went to check it out myself and found that they and the monster had disappeared!"

Qi Ming: “…”

He wanted to say something, but in the end he just sighed slightly.

"Then from now on, you can't trust anyone around you."

"The monster may have succeeded. Anyone could be a mimic of [Mei Zhulang]."

In the original drama of "Utiga", this [Mejulang] has a very high IQ and has the ability to change its appearance and create clones.

The humans that its main body and clones mimic are not only indistinguishable from the real body in appearance, but also inherit memories and knowledge. They will only reveal their true form when subjected to fatal attacks.

In the original drama, he first used this trick to destroy the Carlo base, and then returned to Earth to successively replace Director Sawai, Staff Officer Minamihara, Captain Yoshioka, and Captain Iruma of the Victory Team, almost "changing the world."

After listening to Qi Ming's detailed information about the monster, Gu Qiao realized the seriousness of the matter.

Not only can he disguise himself as a human, but his clone can also mimic humans.

So, has someone already been fooled? Has some of the familiar faces he knows been replaced by Mei Zhulang?

If it is not curbed, then in the end everyone in the entire Carlo base may be the clone of [Mei Zhulang].

Qi Ming: "Call everyone into a room now. Don't let anyone out of your sight. I'll be right there."

Zhu Xingtuan: "That's a good idea. If everyone keeps an eye on each other, [Mei Zhulang] won't dare to act rashly. I'll go with you."

Qi Ming agreed that the battle would probably start on the moon soon, and it would be better to have an alien accompany them.

Qi Ming: "That bronze mirror should not be underestimated. Someone must retrieve it and ensure it is never illuminated by moonlight."

Yamanaka: "Just leave this little thing to us."

Upon hearing this, Qi Ming immediately felt a strong sense of unease.
