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

The discussion frenzy that swept the internet after the airing of episode 32, "The Legacy of the Monster Messenger," last week has not stopped.

The intense debates about history, prejudice, and human nature on various social media platforms have led viewers to repeatedly watch that episode until it's practically worn out.

Amidst the eager anticipation of countless tokusatsu fans, Ultraman Mebius has released another episode.

Countless tokusatsu fans who refreshed the page clicked in immediately.

A line of large, gold-embossed characters then appeared: "The Woman of Blue Flame".

[It's here! The update is finally here!]

[How about a change of pace this week, something light and relaxing?]

"The Woman of Blue Flame?" This title sounds a bit like an urban legend.

Is this another tribute episode?

On the screen, Tang Zheping, who is on vacation, is carrying several thick medical textbooks and walking briskly along the tree-lined path of the university.

Just as he was about to go to the lecture hall for extra lessons, a frantic shout suddenly came from behind him:

"Zheping! Old Tang!"

Tang Zheping stopped and turned around upon hearing the sound.

A tired-looking young man was running towards him; it was Gao Cun, his senior from medical school.

"Takamura-senpai, it's been a long time."

Tang Zheping greeted him politely.

Takamura grabbed his arm and looked him over eagerly:

"Teppei, I heard you joined GUYS, is that true?"

"Why are you suddenly asking this?"

Tang Zheping was stunned for a moment, noticing his senior's deathly pale face:

You don't look well.

Takamura's eyes reddened, and his voice even trembled slightly:

"Please, Teppei...please help me!"

"My sister... seems to be possessed by a demon!"

"demon?"

As a staunch materialist medical student, Tang Zheping instinctively frowned.

Before he could even ask a question, Gao Cun pulled him to a bench in a corner of the campus.

Two young girls were sitting there. One was Togawa Reiko, a friend from the same club, and the other girl sitting next to her made Tang Zheping suddenly stop in his tracks.

The girl wore a light white dress, her expression was delicate, and her eyes were full of pitiful fear.

Holy crap, this girl is gorgeous!

Wait, isn't that the Red Ball Girl from the Gaia movie?!

[A dream collaboration! Director Gu has brought in old acquaintances to the crew again!]

[Look at Teppei's eyes, he's completely smitten, hahaha, his love-struck mind has instantly awakened!]

[Old Tang, a materialist, didn't believe in demons at first, but he believed them after seeing a beautiful woman, right?]

Materialism emphasizes that consciousness cannot determine matter; if spirits and deities are objectively existing matter, materialism must also acknowledge this.

Tang Zheping's gaze lingered on Misa's face for a moment, and his heart skipped a beat.

Takamura quickly explained:

"This is my younger sister, Misa. She just got into this university this year."

Meisha raised her head, her watery eyes looking at Tang Zheping, and pleaded softly:

"Are you here to help me?"

"Um... could you help me get rid of that thing inside my body?"

Faced with Mesa's plea for help, Tang Zheping's heart pounded, but reason still kept him somewhat sober.

He scratched his head somewhat awkwardly:

"Senior, it seems I should probably avoid such superstitious matters..."

"Please, just listen to what she has to say!"

Takamura was so anxious he almost knelt down.

Tang Zheping could only sigh:

"Okay, so what exactly happened?"

Takamura took a deep breath and recalled:

It was a week ago, at night.

"A few friends and I were taking a walk on the beach when suddenly a strange blue flame appeared in the night sky and rushed towards us at an incredibly fast speed!"

"Then we all lost consciousness."

Misa lowered her head, her slender hands gripping the hem of her clothes tightly.

"After my brother and the others woke up, I often fell into inexplicable panic and anxiety..."

"Furthermore, whenever I have an emotional breakdown, a huge fire will inexplicably break out around my body!"

"It's true, it's terrifying... I feel like I'm not myself anymore."

[Wow, telekinesis? A superpowered individual?]

[It's the Bone Spirit Cold Flame!]

[If you use this skill well, you won't even need charcoal for barbecues!]

In this worldview, any anomaly could be attributed to aliens or monsters.

Tang Zheping was dumbfounded; this was completely beyond the medical common sense he had built up over the past twenty years.

Just then, Reiko Togawa, who was standing nearby, suddenly stood up and waved towards a spot not far away:

"Master! This way!"

"I've invited the shaman over!"

The camera then shifts to a middle-aged man wearing a loose monk's robe and sporting a comical mustache, who swaggeres over.

The moment the face was seen, the comments section exploded!

【puff--!】

[Obik, instead of playing with your pots in the mountains, you're running around the university pretending to be a fortune teller and scamming people, huh?!]

[Haha, the repeated use of clothing is hilarious!]

[That Taoist robe paired with that lewd expression, it's really hard to hold back!]

The sage squinted and walked up to Misa, pretending to chant incantations with his fingers.

He suddenly opened his eyes and shouted:

"I saw it!"

"You're possessed by a weasel!"

"weasel?!"

The people around were all stunned.

"But rest assured, as long as you use my secret talisman, it will be completely removed immediately!"

The fortune teller pulled a yellow talisman from his robes, grinning smugly, "Only two thousand yuan a month, installment payments accepted!"

Tang Zheping's face instantly fell.

As a defense member who believes in modern science, he despises these charlatans who swindle and deceive.

He stepped forward, coldly blocking the path of the immortal:

"That's why I hate charlatans like you the most."

The immortal glared angrily:

"What did you say, you brat?"

"Please go back! I'll heal Miss Misa!"

"Are you kidding me?"

"Kid, what can you do?"

The sage shoved Tang Zheping aside, brandishing the talisman and closing in on Meisha. "Don't be afraid, leave it all to this great sage!"

"Don't come any closer!" Misa screamed in terror, clutching her head, her emotions instantly gripped by extreme panic!

"call--!"

Without warning, a burst of flames roared up from around Misa, the intense heat instantly igniting the talisman in the immortal's hand, and even spreading wildly upwards along his sleeves!

"It's burning! It's on fire! Help!!"

"There really are...there really are ghosts!!!"

The immortal was so frightened that he screamed and howled, patting the flames on his sleeves as he scrambled to escape. His disheveled appearance made the audience in front of the screen laugh uproariously.

[It really exists! Obik really exists!]

[Hahaha, the charlatan has met a true god!]

[Obik, you're famous!]

[Master: I just wanted to scam some living expenses, but I didn't expect to run into a real monster!]

[Teppei was stunned; his materialistic worldview shattered on the spot.]

Tang Zheping, who witnessed the ignition of the will, gasped in shock. He immediately reported to the base and brought Meisha back to the Phoenix Nest Medical Department of the Asian headquarters.

Inside the operations room, Tang Zheping gave a full report of the situation.

"You mean, you can conjure flames with your mind?"

Captain Po Shui asked.

Marina Kazama looked at him suspiciously. "Teppei, don't you usually never believe in these kinds of unscientific phenomena?"

Tang Zheping retorted earnestly:

"I saw it with my own eyes!"

"Although it cannot be explained by existing common sense, it did happen."

"The source of the flames is most likely some unknown entity parasitizing her body."

"I want to find out the truth and help Miss Misa!"

However, the subsequent comprehensive physical examination left everyone puzzled.

The scan report showed that Mesa's cellular structure, nervous system, and internal organs were completely normal human, with no signs of parasitism or abnormality.

Unable to find the cause of her illness, Mesa can only rest in a ward at the base for the time being.

To ease Meisha's anxiety, Tang Zheping specially bought a pot of beautiful flowers and tiptoed into the ward.

Good morning! Did you sleep well last night?

Tang Zheping placed the flowerpot on the headboard.

Misa looked at the flowers, her eyes shining:

"Wow, it's so beautiful."

"Because the ward looks cold and deserted, I thought we should at least put some flowers in it."

Tang Zheping scratched the back of his neck somewhat embarrassedly.

Misa revealed a long-lost faint smile:

"Thank you so much, Mr. Tang."

"Actually, I'm always feeling really scared..."

"GUYS always gives people a very serious and fierce impression, but I didn't expect Mr. Tang to be so kind from the beginning."

At the corner of the corridor outside the ward, three heads were piled up on the door frame like a human pyramid.

Several people pursed their lips, their faces full of gossip, and lowered their voices:

"As expected of Old Tang, he's really cunning."

"If it were me, I would definitely send a huge bouquet of red roses."

Future blinked her big eyes and asked innocently:

"Dragon, is it considered doing something bad to peek through the door like this?"

George the Dove crossed his arms and chuckled mischievously.

"How can this be considered a bad thing?"

"We're acting as comrades, providing rear-area fire support for Zheping's love front!"

"What are you three idiots doing?!"

A sharp, angry shout suddenly rang out behind them.

With her hands on her hips, Kinoko, like a disciplinary committee member caught red-handed, sternly shooed the three men back to the operations room.

[Hahaha, the spy trio got caught by Kinoshita!]

Did George also pursue someone in this way back in the day?

The future is so innocent, just like a curious child.

Cute kitten.

Inside the ward, Misa listened to the noise outside and finally relaxed completely.

She smiled and took a small wristband made of colorful woven thread from the bedside table, shyly handing it to Tang Zheping:

However, this brief moment of warmth was quickly shattered by the sound of alarms!

"A giant monster has appeared in the industrial area along the Gulf coast!"

"Rapidly advancing towards the Third Petroleum Complex!"

Captain Pokyuu abruptly stood up and issued orders with a stern expression:

"GUYS, Sally, go!"

"GIG!"

Fighter jets roared through the clouds, heading straight for the Gulf Industrial Zone.

Inside the industrial base billowing with thick smoke, a massive blue monster resembling a flamingo, with its neck extending from the center of its torso, is wreaking havoc.

The fighter jet formation quickly deployed to encircle the target, Aihara Ryu locked onto the target, and decisively pulled the trigger!

The laser cannon roared out and struck the monster's right shoulder with pinpoint accuracy!

"boom!"

Sparks flew, but what was inexplicable was that the monster, having taken a heavy blow, let out a sharp screech. Its massive body twisted and disintegrated strangely in the flames, turning into a scattered ball of eerie blue fire that instantly vanished into the night sky!

"Disappeared? Did they run away?"

Aihara Ryu looked bewildered inside the cockpit.

Upon returning to base, Assistant Officer Toriyama beamed with joy upon seeing the report that no facilities had been damaged.

"Oh dear, it's good that we weren't affected by the disaster; that's truly something to celebrate!"

"This is all thanks to my effective command!"

Secretary Wan nodded frantically beside him, flattering him.

However, as Tang Zheping sat at the main control panel and reviewed the top-secret files left behind by the MAT defense team, his expression grew increasingly solemn.

"Um... although it's a bit late, I've confirmed records of people of the same race in past files."

Tang Zheping pressed the Enter key, and the old black-and-white image popped up on the big screen: "Registration Code—Will-o'-the-Wisp Monster Vermeg!"

Aihara Ryu stepped forward:

"Fermi? Is there anything special about him?"

Tang Zheping explained in a heavy tone:

"Frmig was originally an amorphous energy entity wandering in outer space, like a highly intelligent will-o'-the-wisp."

"It cannot maintain its physical form for long; it must possess another living being to achieve its first materialization and transformation into a monster!"

Before he could finish speaking, Tang Zheping was struck dumb, his pupils suddenly contracting:

"Wait... Possessed?! Ms. Misa!!"

He sprinted out of the command room like a madman, ran all the way to the base ward, and flung open the door!

However, at first glance, he did not see the girl on the hospital bed.

Turning around, I noticed that in the corner, Misa's hair was soaked with sweat.

She clutched her right arm and shoulder tightly, tears streaming down her face.

"Mr. Teppei... I was surrounded by blue flames again... and then my memory went blank..."

Tang Zheping rushed forward and gently pulled away Misa's hand that was covering her shoulder.

The moment Tang Zheping saw the wound, his whole body went cold!

On Misa's delicate, snow-white right shoulder, there was a shocking charred wound. The location and shape of the wound were exactly the same as the area where Aihara Ryu had used his fighter jet to bombard the monster's right shoulder with lasers!

[Holy crap! The monster is Misa?!]

[So that's why I could set fires with my mind for no reason! Turns out, Formiger was parasitizing my body!]

[This is also a monster from Jack, isn't it? Is this really a homage?!]

[The fighter jet hit the monster's shoulder, and the girl's shoulder got injured too... This is complete assimilation!]

[If we kill the monster, won't Misa just be cremated along with it?!]

Inside the command center, the atmosphere instantly plummeted to freezing point.

Tang Zheping clenched his fist and revealed the cruel truth to everyone:

"Miss Misa has been possessed by Vermeg."

"When Vermeg attacked the oil conglomerate before, he possessed Yuriko, a female member of the MAT team!"

George couldn't help but ask:

"What happened to that female team member from back then?"

"According to the records from that year, Ultraman Jack miraculously separated her safely while defeating Vermeg."

"Then everything's fine, isn't it?"

Tang Zheping's voice trembled, his eyes bloodshot, "But... this situation is significantly different from the past!"

"What's the difference?"

Aihara Ryu pressed for an answer.

"The injuries Fermigod suffered are now fully reflected in Misa's body!"

"In other words, once we eliminate Vermeg..."

"Miss Misa will die along with her!"

"That possibility cannot be ruled out..."

"Right now, she's like a hostage in the monster's hands!"

The entire operations room fell into a deathly silence.

If you defeat the monster, the hostages will die.

If the monster isn't fought, the entire city's oil complex and countless civilians will be burned to the ground.

This is a vicious cycle with no solution!

In the hospital room, looking at the innocent girl, Tang Zheping felt a pang of pity.

Suddenly the girl took out the object in her hand.

It is a small hand-knitted wristband.

"Here, take this... I made it from extra materials I got from the nurse. Don't you like it?"

"How could that be!"

"I really like it, thank you Ms. Misa, I'll keep it safe!"

Tang Zheping accepted it as if it were a priceless treasure, but he still couldn't hide the worry on his face.

In the time that followed, Tang Zheping racked his brains trying to figure out how to save the innocent girl.

Before anyone could come up with a solution, the urgent alarm started blaring again!

Kinoko screamed in panic:

"Oh no! Miss Misa isn't in her hospital room!"

"Frogue has reappeared at First United Enterprises!!"

On the big screen, the giant fire monster Vermeg roared to the sky, spewing out scorching blue flames that turned the vast stretch of giant oil storage tanks into a raging inferno.

Thick smoke billowed into the sky, obscuring the sun, and air raid sirens blared throughout the heavens!

"Let's move out!"

Tang Zheping stood in front of the door, almost pleading:

"Please wait! If you open fire, Miss Misa will..."

Captain Sakaki took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:

"Zheping, I understand how you feel."

"But we are GUYS, and we cannot stand idly by and let this destruction continue!"

"Everyone, move out! Prioritize assisting those on site to evacuate!"

"GIG!"

Flames shot into the sky, and explosions echoed throughout the scene.

Countless workers scattered in panic, the scorching heat almost setting the air ablaze.

Aihara Ryu, piloting the fighter jet, gripped the trigger tightly, veins bulging on the back of his hand, but he dared not press it down:

"Damn it! It's completely destroyed like this, are we really not allowed to fire a single shot?!"

On the ground, as he looked at the oil refinery engulfed in flames and then at his comrades who were in pain and despair, his eyes gradually hardened.

"I'll go fight him!"

A burst of light suddenly erupted!

A giant in silver and red rose from the ground, and Ultraman Mebius crashed down into the sea of ​​fire, calmly standing between Vermeg and the fleeing crowd!

[Xiao Meng is on!]

Now, Xiaomeng doesn't hide her transformations from others anymore.

But we can't kill them, how can we fight like this?

The most frustrating thing about fighting is when you feel restricted and can't unleash your full potential.

Mebius assumed a defensive stance and strode forward, attempting to subdue Vermeer using martial arts techniques.

However, having absorbed a massive amount of oil energy, Vermeg possessed astonishing power, with flames raging all over his body.

Mebius not only had to be careful to avoid the monster's vital parts, but also dared not use any powerful penetrating skills. After only a few rounds of fighting, he was heavily whipped away by Vermeer's powerful tail swing!

Its massive body smashed through the pipes, sending sparks flying everywhere.

Frmig roared to the sky, his claws swung wildly, and several huge high-energy fireballs roared and crashed into the surroundings!

"Boom—!"

A steel-structured factory building not far away could not withstand the bombardment and collapsed with a roar, instantly burying several workers who had not yet evacuated under the rubble.

The raging fire was spreading wildly along the ruins, thick smoke billowing out, and the desperate cries for help from the trapped workers echoed weakly but clearly through the flames:

"Help! Someone please save us!!"

Mebius, lying in the ruins, propped himself up, looking at the human workers trapped in the deadly place, about to be engulfed by the flames, and then at the ferocious monster in front of him, which continued to accumulate fireballs with impunity, preparing to completely detonate the entire industrial area.

The young Ultra Warrior was suddenly thrust into the most cruel trolley problem!

If they continue to worry about the safety of Mesa, the workers behind them and all the civilians in the entire industrial zone will be reduced to ashes in the next second.

But if we want to save people, we must destroy the monster in front of us as quickly as possible!

In the critical moment, a strong will to protect overcame hesitation.

Mebius took a deep breath, crossed his arms sharply in front of his chest, and a dazzling golden light surged violently from the Mebium aura on his right wrist!

A dazzling arc of light ripped through the void, and pure yet destructive energy converged wildly. He was preparing to unleash the Mebium Ray to obliterate the savage behemoth before him!

However, standing on the edge of the smoke-filled ruins, Tang Zheping, covered in dust, saw through the giant's actions at a glance.

Thinking of the fragile girl in the hospital room who had handed him a hand-knitted wristband and smiled innocently, Tang Zheping's eyes widened in fury. With all his might, he roared at the giant engulfed in flames with a heart-wrenching cry:

"Stop it!!"
