Ultraman fighting evolution.

Chapter 273 Farewell
As night fell, Xia Long walked along the path to the park not far from Long Nan's apartment.

In the middle of the park, Takao in a shirt was looking at the sky.

A peacock-shaped spaceship glowing with colorful lights slowly approached the ground.

"Soul of Light..." Standing behind Long Nan, Xia Long felt the wonderful breath, and Long Nan's heart was wrapped in light balls, changing his tired body in the past.

"That's it?" Jin, who hurried over, wanted to step forward anxiously, but Xia Long grabbed him.

Shaking his head towards Jin, Xia Long walked slowly to Long Nan's side.

The spaceship was suspended in mid-air, shrouded in light, like a legendary fairy beast, the long-lasting and mysterious aura spread, Xia Long seemed to see scenes of grand scenes in the universe.

"XIA, I've been chosen." Long Nan looked at the spaceship expectantly, with the same smile on his face every time he talked about his dreams.

"I have no intention of aggression, I am just looking for fellow travelers on the journey," a soft female voice came from the spaceship under Xia Long's gaze, "Our ancestors lost their home planet millions of years ago, so generations alternated in the universe. During the trip, my companions lost their precious lives one after another, and finally, I was the only one left.”

A series of interstellar pictures are displayed in the night sky, and an ancient civilization can be vaguely seen.

"However," the female voice continued, "I have not given up. I have been looking for a planet with life, and I have found a container that can be lodged and assimilated with him, so that I can travel forever in the universe with the other party, in an unknown way. The abyss of the universe is the goal..."

Xia Long looked at the ordinary-looking Long Nan, and asked after a pause, "Is Mr. Long Nan the host you chose?"

"Yes."

Listening to the other party's explanation, Jin couldn't help but reprimanded: "It's too selfish to do that, how can the body of a human on earth be used as a container casually?"

"It's not like that, Jin, I am willing, I want to go to the universe with her!" Long Nan stepped forward to interrupt Jin's accountability, and walked under the spaceship excitedly, "My childhood dream is about to become a reality! Yes, that childhood dream!"

"Are you saying that you want to abandon all the reality in front of you and go on a trip with him?" Unlike Xia Long who had been silent all this time, Jin couldn't understand.

"Yes, I have already realized it," Long Nan smiled and nodded slightly, "I don't know what kind of planets will be involved in the journey of the universe, and what kind of dangers will be involved, but ..."

Clenching his hands tightly, Long Nan said deeply: "In the limited time of life, the courage and the desire to explore the abyss of the universe are the most essential desires of intelligent life, isn't it?!"

Bathed in the light of the spaceship, Long Nan looked at Xia Long and said, "Thank you, XIA, I will not give up my dream."

dream……

Xia Long looked at the spaceship for a moment, smiled lightly, nodded and said, "Well, I'll see you off."

Getting along with Long Nan these days made him understand Long Nan's thoughts very well.

"Wow!"

The bright stream of light brought Long Nan flying up, and Xia Long saw the bright brilliance in his eyes that he had never seen before.

"V-!"

Nodding to JIN, Xia Long was also wrapped in the light ball and followed the spaceship flying into space.

"Mr. Long Nan, take care."

Standing outside the atmosphere, Xia Long watched the spaceship go away.

"XIA." After Seven X waved at the spaceship, he turned to face Xia Long who had transformed into Kalio, "So you are another savior."

Xia Long collected his thoughts, looked at Seven and said, "What this world needs is not a savior, but hope. Jin, I'll leave it to you in the future."

Back on the ground, outside the park square, Xia Long walked to the bridge against the cool wind and looked up at the sky.

The night sky is rarely full of stars, dotted with stars, it is very beautiful, and occasionally there are short-lived meteors across the sky.

After so many days in the Seven X world, it was the first time he saw such a fascinating night sky.

"How many earths are there in the universe?" Xia Long stared at the familiar constellations in a daze.

In a trance, Long Nan's encouraging voice was still in his ears: "XIA, you are the same, come on!"

Nodding his head, Xia Long turned and left the bridge, with a little bit of starlight lingering on his left arm, like a newborn galaxy.

……

After a period of time, the impact of the "Soul of Light" incident quickly passed, and Takao completely disappeared from people's eyes, only Arisa fell silent occasionally.

"Mr. Longnan, aren't you coming back?"

"Maybe we'll see him someday."

In front of the bar, Xia Long finished his bill and left the bar as usual.

Strolling through the park, Xia Long's gaze rested on several little girls who were holding balloons and running around lively around a couple.

With a smile on his face, Xia Long stayed for a while and was about to turn around and leave when he noticed a familiar figure across the crowd from the corner of his eye.

Silver silk pajamas, short and medium hair, looking at this side through the crowd.

"Huizi..." Xia Long's eyes tightened.

Girls are so special in the crowd, as if in another phase.

"Run away." As before, the girl only appeared for a while and then quickly disappeared, even Xia Long couldn't sense where she was going.

"Huh—" As the breeze blew, the children in the park were still bustling with activity. Except for Xia Long, no one noticed the girl's coming and going.

……

"boom--!"

The city at night was hit by heavy rain, the wind blew pea-sized raindrops against the glass, and silver electric dragons descended along the low black clouds.

"Crack!"

Under the light of the lightning, Xia Long lay on the bed with a distorted face, his forehead was dripping with sweat, and he murmured.

"Ayumi... Captain... Astra..."

The veins on the back of his hand popped up, Xia Long grabbed the sheet tightly, and opened his eyes suddenly.

"hu~hu~"

Panting a few times, Xia Long got up and filled a bottle of water, then walked to the window.

Pulling back the half-covered curtains, Xia Long opened the window to welcome the rain and cold current.

An icy cold feeling spread all over his body in an instant, and the black vest clings to his muscles, highlighting the tightness of his slender figure.

Pushing away his wet hair, Xia Long looked around the city through the faint light.

The floating monitor is rare and calm. Among the bustling traffic, several skyscrapers over 50 meters apart are scattered, and the one he is in is one of them.

Another rainy night.

With a soft breath, Xia Long calmed down a little.

He has been having the same nightmare for the past few days. In front of an unprecedented force, he watched Leo's world fall apart, the entire earth was directly swallowed by light waves, and everything related to him was completely obliterated.

"001, I..."

"Drip!" Amidst the thunder, VC who was placed by Xia Long's bedside suddenly rang.

After a pause, Xia Long went to the bed and picked up the VC.

"I'm XIA."

"Agent X, there is a new mission for you. The missing Keiko Nanase was found in the eastern region. Please go and investigate with Agent S."

Looking at the map information that popped up on the screen, Xia Long was silent for a moment, his eyes slightly cold.

It's time to be proactive, too.

"Crack!"

Putting on the VC, Xia Long quickly put on clean clothes, put on a windbreaker and walked out of the room.

When he passed the door of Jin, he hesitated, but he didn't bother after all.

"Xia."

At the meeting point, Xia Long saw S who arrived ahead of schedule.

"The last place where the target appeared is here, let's investigate the vicinity first."

Led by S, Xia Long walks through the deserted streets.

Although the damage caused by the bug monsters has been restored, most of the residents have not yet moved back.

The formerly bustling eastern region now looks like a ghost town.

"S, if she just appeared here, maybe it was just by chance." Xia Long followed S to the outside of a factory, and there was no movement in the entire area.

"The information provided by the headquarters said that it appeared several times in a row." S took out the laser gun and loaded it, wondering, "Hey, XIA, is that girl really related to worms?"

"Hmm." Stepping on a puddle, Xia Long suddenly grabbed S.

"What's the matter?" S raised his pistol and pointed around, turning his head to look at Xia Long.

"Something's wrong." Xia Long calmed down and looked around.

There was a faint vibration in the humid air after the rain.

uneasy breath...

Frowning slightly, Xia Long said to S: "S, you go back first!"

"XIA?" S stared, "You want to act alone?"

Xia Long smiled and pointed to himself: "Have you forgotten my ability? Don't worry, S, just leave it to me."

He could feel that the next thing was beyond S's ability to participate.

"That's it, I'll contact you after the matter is over." With a greeting, Xia Long turned and ran towards the dark alley.

"Da da!" Stepping on the water splash, Xia Long adjusted his breath alertly, and the evolution instrument on his left arm also condensed.

"Wow—"

With the emergence of a circle of space ripples, Xia Long's entire figure disappeared out of thin air.
