Entertainment: You're asked to make a graduation project, but you're asked to film Ultrama

Friday night at 8 PM.

The dedicated playback channels of major video platforms were launched on time, driven by countless clicks from viewers.

As the rousing opening theme ended, the screen gradually lit up.

Episode 12, "My First Errand Run".

The scene begins by cutting directly to the interior corridor of GUYS' Asian headquarters.

The lighting here was unusually dim, giving off a chilly atmosphere.

Accompanied by an eerie, somber, and suspenseful background music, the entire corridor seemed to lead to some indescribable abyss of terror.

With a solemn expression, Aide-de-Camp Toriyama straightened his crisp uniform and strode heavily toward the door at the end of the corridor.

In the past storylines, the director has always been a mysterious figure, the supreme commander who oversees the entire situation.

Today is the first time that Assistant Director Toriyama has met with the Supreme Commander.

Toriyama's assistant figured that he must have been called here for a top-secret mission concerning the survival of Earth.

Perhaps it's about what to do with the newly appeared blue Ultraman, Ultraman Hikari.

The barrage of comments instantly became dense.

[What's with this background music? Is it some kind of eerie soundtrack? Isn't this supposed to be Ultraman Mebius? How did it suddenly turn into a horror movie?]

[Don't worry about what came before, the old fox loves to create this kind of atmosphere. But considering the old fox's comedic nature, this part will probably be a contrast.]

[Toriyama's expression is so serious, like he's facing certain death. He's usually so eager to steal the credit, why is he so serious today?]

Toriyama, the assistant officer, stood in front of the gate, took a deep breath, and pressed the doorbell.

"I am Toriyama, I'm here."

As the automatic doors slowly slid open to both sides, Assistant Toriyama stepped inside with excitement.

However, he was not greeted by the mysterious director he had imagined.

Instead, it was the acting director, Misaki Yuki.

Misaki Yuki smiled professionally and said softly:

"We've been waiting for you for a long time."

Toriyama's aide paused for a moment, then looked around:

"Hey, where's the director?"

"The director is out."

Misaki Yuki didn't linger on this topic and went straight to the point, "As the acting director, I will explain this mission to you."

She took out a suitcase and placed it on the table.

The scene then shifts, and the suitcase is now on a table at the GUYS team's base.

"Is this what she meant by 'finally dealing with'?" George asked curiously.

Toriyama warned sternly:

"During the research, it was discovered that it would be too dangerous if it were actually used."

Tang Zheping's curiosity was instantly piqued:

"Could you let me take a quick look at what's inside?"

"That won't do."

Toriyama quickly stopped him, saying, "I've told you, this is a very dangerous thing."

Captain Pokyu looked at the box and, for safety reasons, suggested:

"This is an important mission. You should go yourself, Assistant Officer, and take a few guards with you."

Upon hearing this, Toriyama's aide was about to agree.

As a result, Secretary Maru flattered her from the side, saying, "Assistant, you finally got this kind of task from the director. How can you let someone else take the credit?"

"Going alone is enough."

Secretary Maru, with her righteous and awe-inspiring demeanor, was completely baffled by Toriyama.

But since his secretary had already said that, how could he possibly lower himself to ask for help again...?

Just then, Kinoko suddenly interjected:

Is anyone here a Virgo?

Everyone turned to look at her.

Kinoko looked at the divination magazine in her hand and read aloud:

"Virgos are having a really bad day, so be careful."

Toriyama's expression froze instantly, as he had been smugly pleased with himself.

That's right, he's a Virgo.

Upon seeing this, the viewers in the live chat burst out laughing, and the tense suspense vanished instantly.

[Haha! This episode is definitely a comedy!]

[Aide-de-Camp Toriyama: I feel like someone is targeting me, and I have evidence.]

Watching Toriyama get his comeuppance, I don't know why, but it just feels so satisfying.

[They're really the team's mascot, huh?]

The target location is in Neon Island, and after arriving at Neon Island, on the last leg of the journey to the mission location, a black car drives along a winding road.

Toriyama's aide muttered to himself.

"As an assistant, I haven't even spoken to the director yet."

"And lately, I feel like I've become a laughing stock."

"Ah, I guess I was just overthinking it."

The driver in the front seat asked with concern, "Aide-de-Camp Toriyama, did you take your medication today?"

"Medicine? What medicine?"

"Motion sickness medicine."

"???"

A few minutes later...

In the back seat, Aide-de-Claude Toriyama was deathly pale, his hands tightly covering his mouth, clearly suffering from motion sickness.

He forgot to take his motion sickness medication.

The car was forced to stop on a bridge.

Toriyama, the assistant officer, pushed open the car door, rushed to the bridge, quickly swallowed motion sickness medication, and breathed in the fresh air in large gulps.

After regaining his composure, his gaze fell on the briefcase placed on the car seat.

Misaki Yuki's warning that it was "very dangerous" was like a cat's claws, constantly scratching at his heart.

"What kind of dangerous research subjects are inside...?"

Toriyama swallowed hard, but ultimately couldn't resist his curiosity and quietly unlocked the box.

Inside the box, four transparent capsules containing some kind of liquid were neatly arranged.

Looking at the seemingly ordinary capsule, Assistant Toriyama breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to pick up one of them to examine it closely.

Just then, the ride-hailing driver suddenly honked the horn.

The piercing sound of a horn suddenly rang out on the quiet bridge.

Toriyama, who was already feeling guilty, suddenly shuddered and his hand trembled.

The capsule containing the special liquid was released from my hand and was pulled by gravity in mid-air.

Then, with perfect accuracy, he fell into the rushing river below the bridge and disappeared instantly.

Toriyama, the assistant officer, lay on the bridge railing, completely petrified.

The live chat exploded with laughter, filling the screen.

[He's grinning!]

[His hands shake so badly, even Parkinson's would be ashamed!]

[Misfortune has befallen Virgos! They've not only become a laughingstock, but they're also facing a military court-martial!]

[This is truly a ridiculous commuter school arrangement—I couldn't help but laugh.]

I knew it! This episode was definitely going to be hilarious!

Let's see how the veteran handles this; it's definitely going to cause a huge mess.

Toriyama's aide stared despairingly at the river, constantly trying to convince himself otherwise:

"It's okay if one falls...it's okay if one falls..."

He quickly closed the box, pretending nothing had happened, and returned to his car.

Back to the base command center.

As soon as Aide-de-Claude Toriyama entered, the team members rushed to greet him.

"You've worked hard!"

"Has the mission been successfully completed?"

Seeing the admiring looks on everyone's faces, Assistant Toriyama nervously wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and forced a smile:

"Successfully completed."

Secretary Maru sensed the opportunity to flatter him and clapped her hands:

"There's something so dangerous in that box. If I were sent there, I'd be trembling with fear."

"Truly worthy of being called the Assistant Commander."

Toriyama's assistant chuckled twice:

"Oh, really?"

Tang Zheping casually said:

"But I think it's such a pity."

George chimed in, "You should just give up. The conclusion has already been reached that it can't be used in actual combat."

Tang Zheping consulted the materials and refuted this claim:

"But how wonderful it would be if I could analyze just one of those four capsules."

"One is dangerous enough."

Aihara Tatsuya chimed in:

"Yes, it's best to get rid of those things as soon as possible."

Tang Zheping said with a regretful expression:

"But, it's still GUYS's superior technology, after all."

No one noticed the drastic change in Toriyama's expression.

Meteor technology?!

Did you lose the Meteor Technique yourself?!

Even with lingering fear, Kinoko delivered the final blow:

"But now I can rest assured. I really shouldn't believe in divination and the like."

"Today it actually says that Virgos are the unluckiest and most unlucky, and can't do anything right."

"I'm still very worried."

Secretary Maru came over with a cup of coffee:

"Um, let me make you a cup of coffee."

"You must be exhausted after accomplishing something so important. Let me give you a shoulder massage."

The team members kept adding to Toriyama's psychological pressure by talking one after another.

Toriyama's face went from deathly pale to ashen; his worldview was being devastated.

All he could think about now was Tang Zheping's words, "One is dangerous enough."

He swallowed hard, leaned closer to the crowd, and asked cautiously:

"Um... just how dangerous is this thing? Could you tell me?"

Tang Zheping immediately retrieved the data from the MAT file and projected it onto the large screen.

"These are Gurotes cells."

"Registered code name: Ancient Terras Alien, and Demon God Monster: Kodaiig."

"It was originally a statue of the Lotus Shrine, but it was monsterized by the Ancient Rotes aliens."

"When the Gurotes cell enters a hollow object, that object becomes like a living organism."

"Headquarters research suggests that if this technology is effectively utilized in GUYS's advanced technology, giant robots could be created."

"However, Kodayig may unconsciously develop destructive impulses."

"Ultimately, we couldn't find a way to control it. That kind of research was too dangerous and terrifying. That's why we decided to abandon it."

When Toriyama's aide heard this, he felt dizzy and disoriented.

He clung to his last breath and asked:

"But one capsule like that wouldn't produce something that huge, would it?"

Tang Zheping shattered his illusions without hesitation:

"Even if there's only one, it can make three Kodaiig."

???

!!!

It can create three monsters!

This sentence became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Toriyama's aide completely broke down.

If this matter is exposed, he will not only lose his job, but may even become a sinner against all mankind.

He looked around and his gaze settled on the three people in the group who were usually the most honest and obedient.

Future, Beauty of Wood, Tang Zheping.

"You, you, and you, I'm sorry, but could you lend me a hand?" Toriyama's assistant's voice trembled.

The future is a complete mystery:

"But what about Captain Sakakizumi..."

"Just a little time! Okay, okay, please!"

Toriyama, the assistant officer, clasped his hands together and ran to Captain Sakami, pleading frantically.

Although the three did not know what had happened, they had no choice but to agree when they saw their superior's humble plea.

[I've settled in Bengbu...]

[Hilarious! These three seem the most honest, right?]

So, these cells were able to create three monsters?

[It might be an incredibly powerful monster capable of taking on three opponents at once!]

Meanwhile, the focus shifts to a shallow beach along the Neon River.

An elderly fisherman wearing a straw hat is sitting leisurely in a folding chair.

The fishing rod suddenly bent violently.

The old man suddenly pulled up his fishing rod and shouted, "It's on the hook!"

However, what was caught was not a big fish, but a capsule containing Gurotes cells.

The old man looked at the strange object in his hand, but didn't pay any attention to it. He casually threw it into the iron bucket full of odds and ends.

After packing up his fishing gear, the old man carried his iron bucket and slowly returned home.

The old man's home was an antique shop located on a street corner in the small town.

The shop is filled with all sorts of old wood carvings, ceramic ware, and statues of deities.

The old man carried the iron bucket back to the shop and poured today's spoils onto the table.

His granddaughter, Yuka, was cleaning the shop when she saw this and couldn't help but complain:

"Grandpa, why are you picking up all this junk again?"

"It's not junk, it's a fantastic tool!"

The old man chuckled as he refuted him.

Yuka sighed helplessly and picked up a rag to start cleaning the table.

She picked up the capsule containing the strange liquid, wiped it casually a couple of times, and then placed it in front of a wooden statue of a deity next to her.

This statue is Ebisu, the god of wealth in Japanese folk religion.

What Yuka didn't notice was that when the capsule fell into the river, an extremely fine crack had already formed on its outer shell.

A drop of green Gurotes cell fluid slowly seeped out along the crack.

The liquid dripped onto the table, turning into a faint green light that silently seeped into the base of the Ebisu statue.

At that very moment, a sudden change occurred.

The Ebisu statue, which had been motionless, suddenly emitted a slight rustling sound.

Immediately afterwards, the statue's eyes seemed to move slightly.

Yuka was tidying up the shelves with her back to the table when she heard the noise and turned around in confusion.

The various wooden animal carvings and ceramic figurines in the store seemed to come alive, jumping and bouncing on the shelves.

The statue of Ebisu jumped off the table and walked back and forth on the ground with stiff steps.

"ah--!"

Yuka screamed in fright...

Not long after...

"Grandpa! Should we call 110 or 119 in a situation like this?"

Yuka simply couldn't handle so many revived artifacts.

The old man, however, looked at the moving antiques with great excitement and without any fear:

"Yuka, calm down! This must be a tsukumogami!"

"Tsukumogami? What are those?"

"If these utensils that people have used are used properly, gods will dwell in them. This is the manifestation of tsukumogami!"

The old man's eyes lit up, as if he had seen a business opportunity to make a fortune.

Before long, news of the miracle that had occurred at the antique shop spread like wildfire.

A large number of curious customers flocked into the store, looking at the moving statues, and readily took out their money to buy them.

"Thank you for your patronage! Here's your change!"

The old man was extremely busy, and the antique shop's business instantly became booming.

Even passersby were drawn inside.

Following the route taken by Assistant Toriyama to visit the Director, searching for the future of the capsule, Tang Zheping and Kinoshita have also arrived at this neon-lit town.

The group, equipped with simultaneous interpretation equipment, began negotiating with the people of the village.

Muzhimei was drawn to this unusually bustling antique shop.

Kinoshita squeezed through the crowd and noticed the small toys in the store that moved on their own, and keenly sensed that something was wrong.

She picked up a bouncing piggy bank, examined it closely, and quickly discovered something was wrong.

She quickly took it to show the future children.

"This isn't battery powered!"

"It's empty inside!"

Moreover, a plume of green smoke was coming out of that piggy bank!

Tang Zheping immediately realized:

"That means the Gurotes cells are nearby!"

A few minutes later, the group followed Toriyama's assistant into the antique shop, panting heavily.

Toriyama pushed through the crowd and began frantically rummaging through the store.

"Hey! What are you doing! Don't rummage through things!"

Yuka tries to stop it.

But Toriyama's assistant had no time to worry about any of that. He was covered in sweat and his hands were constantly rummaging through the various odds and ends.

Finally, under a shelf in a corner, he saw the familiar green capsule.

"Found it! Found it! Found it!"

Toriyama's assistant was so excited that tears almost fell from his eyes. He grabbed the capsule and held it high.

"These are the Gurotes cells! Great! We've finally found them!"

Fortunately, not much was leaked!

However, the capsule, which he was already holding loosely due to his excitement, slipped from his fingers.

Under the horrified gazes of the three.

The capsule fell freely and slammed hard onto the hard marble floor.

A crisp "snap" sound.

The capsule shattered completely.

A large number of green Gurotes cells gushed out like a flood bursting its banks.

These green lights gathered in mid-air, and then, as if attracted by something, rushed straight towards the largest Ebisu statue in the store.

The light instantly entered the statue's body.

"Oh no!" Toriyama's assistant clutched his head in despair.

The statue of Ebisu began to tremble violently.

Immediately afterwards, the statue began to expand rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"My Ebisu!" the old man cried out in terror.

Seeing this, Wei Lai quickly stepped forward, hugged the statue, and ran outside!

When they reached a location far from the crowd, Future threw the statue into the distance.

In mid-air, the small statue rapidly expanded! In just a few seconds, it transformed into a gigantic demon god tens of meters tall.

A huge shadow loomed over the entire block.

Toriyama's aide slumped amidst the ruins, his face ashen, muttering to himself:

"What bad luck..."
