Special effects: Starting with Ultraman Tiga

Mid-October 2008.

Due to the cold wave that occurred half a month ago, Hokkaido experienced heavy snowfall in mid-October.

The Shishigaki Forest is located near Hokkaido, and was naturally affected by the cold wave, resulting in snowfall.

The snow fell silently overnight, covering the roads and trees with a thick blanket of snow.

"It's snowing." Shen Yun crawled out of the tent, looking at the white snow scene, and exclaimed.

Rubbing his hands together, Shen Yun took out his keys, opened the truck's cargo door, took out a stove from inside, and started boiling water.

While waiting for the water to boil, Shen Yun began clearing the snow from the tents and campsite.

Before long, Shen Yun had cleared the snow around the camp.

By then, the water had boiled.

Shen Yun fetched some hot water for washing up, and planned to use the rest to make hot pot.

Although eating hot pot for breakfast is a bit strange, it's the perfect combination for a snowy day.

Shen Yun took a sea bream from the refrigerator, sliced ​​it into thin pieces, and then put the removed fish bones and the fish head into a pot to stew.

Fish bone broth is perfect for hot pot.

In addition to the fish bones, Shen Yun also threw the peeled shrimp heads and shells into the pot to stew.

Shen Yun sat by the stove, skimming off the foam that rose to the surface with a spoon.

Watching the soup simmer and change color, Shen Yun added some scallions, ginger, garlic, salt, and other seasonings.

After putting the lid on, Shen Yun began preparing the side dishes.

Not long after, the tent flap was suddenly lifted, and Karen bent down and stepped out of the tent, where she was greeted by a world of white.

Looking at the snow-covered world, Karen couldn't help but exclaim in a cute way, "So beautiful!"

Although she had seen snow scenes before, the sight of the vast, silver-clad land stretching as far as the eye could see, with the north wind blowing and the trees covered in silver blossoms, was still incredibly awe-inspiring.

Suddenly, her nose twitched slightly as a rich aroma whetted Karen's appetite.

"It smells so good! Shen Jun, what are you cooking?" Karen walked over to Shen Yun through the soft snow and asked.

"The hot pot broth should be almost ready by now." Shen Yun smiled, put down the cleaver in his hand, walked to the iron pot, and lifted the lid.

A wave of heat, accompanied by a fragrant aroma, wafted over.

"Gurgle."

The broth in the pot was bubbling and simmering.

Shen Yun scooped up a spoonful and tasted it; it tasted pretty good.

"Is it okay now?" Karen looked at Shen Yun expectantly.

"Don't worry," Shen Yun reassured him, then scooped out the fish bones, shrimp heads, and other ingredients from the pot and threw them into a trash bag. He then added all the vegetables and seafood he had prepared to the pot and said with a smile, "Once it boils, it'll be ready to eat."

"Eh~ Do we have to wait again?" Karen drawled out, sounding somewhat disappointed.

"I knew you'd say that." Shen Yun glanced at Karen with amusement, then placed the prepared side dishes on the table one by one, saying:

"So, I deliberately sliced ​​these ingredients very thinly, so they can be eaten after just a quick dip in the broth."

As he spoke, Shen Yun picked up a piece of sea bream and dipped it in the pot.

Although the temperature of the broth in the pot has dropped considerably, it's still enough to cook the thin fish slices.

Feeling it was about right, Shen Yun picked up a slice of fish, dipped it in the sauce, and held it to Karen's lips, saying:

"Try it."

"Aww." Karen opened her mouth and bit into it.

The fish is tender, fresh, and flavorful, with a smooth and chewy texture. Paired with a savory sauce, it has an extremely delicious taste.

"tasty!"

"Sit down, I'll go get another set of chopsticks and a bowl." Shen Yun smiled and pinched Karen's cheek before handing her the chopsticks and a bowl. He then fetched another set for himself, sat down next to Karen, and enjoyed the steaming hot pot amidst the beautiful snowy scenery.

It has to be said that snowy weather and hot pot really go well together.

After eating hot pot, my whole body felt warm.

"Half a month has passed without me even realizing it," Shen Yun said, sitting in front of the fire, holding a cup of hot tea, looking at the snow scene.

Although I've been camping in the wild for the past two weeks, this kind of life has been surprisingly good.

Very relaxing.

This is the kind of life that can be considered a real life.

However, this kind of life is only enjoyed by a minority.

For most people, their lives can only be described as merely existing, not truly living.

Shen Yun flipped through the data recorded over the past two weeks and sighed, "There's still too little data. I wish we could get in."

Over the past two weeks, Shen Yun has changed campsites several times, observing the Lion's Nose Tree Sea from different locations.

He has seen rainbows several times.

But the timing of each rainbow's appearance is different.

Sometimes it's in the morning, sometimes it's in the afternoon.

Sometimes it appears for a short while and then disappears, but sometimes it can last for more than ten minutes.

In addition, the intervals between rainbows are also different.

Sometimes it's a one-day interval, and sometimes it's seven days.

There is absolutely no pattern to be found; it is full of uncertainty.

Therefore, Shen Yun did not enter the Demon Realm for testing, but only conducted a series of tests outside.

He was afraid that once he went in, he wouldn't be able to get out.

"However, there is still a chance." Shen Yun still remembered the plot.

He remembered a family of four who entered the demonic realm and came out the next day.

And this was his opportunity to study the Demon Realm.

Although there are monsters in the Demon Realm, Shen Yun felt that the risk was worth taking.

"Anyway, we'll just wait and see; it should happen in the next day or two." Shen Yun was very patient.

Time passed slowly, and it was around one o'clock in the afternoon.

Every now and then, he would look up at Shen Yun above the Lion's Nose Tree Sea and see a rainbow appearing above the Tree Sea.

"It's happened again, only two days after the last time..."

Without much thought, Shen Yun gathered up the small stool and called out to Karen, "Karen, the rainbow has appeared again. Let's get ready and drive over."

"Got it." Karen skillfully got into the driver's seat, left the tent behind, and drove off towards the rainbow.

This has happened many times in the past two weeks.

Shen Yun sat inside the carriage, adjusting the instruments installed there, recording and analyzing various data.

Karen drove her car and stopped once again at the newly opened forest path.

Shen Yun tied a rope to the detection device in his hand and threw it into the suddenly appearing forest path. Then he returned to the carriage and watched the data that was being fed back.

"Every time a rainbow appears, the magnetic field inexplicably strengthens... If the magnetic field can be stabilized at this peak, will the passage from Lion's Nose Tree Sea to the Demon Realm stabilize?" Shen Yun pondered.

"However, this rainbow has lasted exceptionally long today. It's almost been over twenty minutes." Shen Yun pulled the rope, retracted the detection device, and looked up at the rainbow in the sky above the sea of ​​trees with some surprise.

This time, the duration is almost exceeding the longest he has ever observed.

Just then, a black van drove up from the highway in the distance and drove straight into the forest path.

As the car passed by, Shen Yun clearly saw a family of four sitting inside.

Upon seeing the family of four, Shen Yun realized what was happening, and the story was about to unfold.

He knew very well that this was his only chance.

"Karen, let's follow them."

"Understood." Karen quickly got into the car.

Before getting into the car, Shen Yun hid his PDI (Private Delivery Device) on the roadside, inside which was a timed email.

This was something he had prepared long ago; it contained information about the Rainbow Realm and the existence of monsters.

Once the time is up, the email will be sent out.

After hiding the PDI, Shen Yun boarded the train.

Karen drove the small van and followed them into the magical realm.

The truck entered the magical realm, and Shen Yun saw ripples spreading like water.

Then, the wide road disappeared, replaced by an endless forest.

"This fluctuation... feels like Wang Xiaoming's dimensional barrier," Shen Yun muttered, looking at the now calm space.

He analyzed Tsukasa Kadoya's abilities and could even use the Aurora Veil through his items.

He has crossed the dimensional barrier many times and is very sensitive to fluctuations in the dimensional barrier.

"Karen, that's enough. We don't need to go any further. Let's stop here," Shen Yun said.

"Okay." Karen stepped on the brakes, and the truck stopped on the road.

Shen Yun got off the train and, holding a detection instrument, began to examine the surrounding magnetic field and space.

"It seems this is a subspace," Shen Yun said, looking at the data from the instrument in his hand.

Shen Yun conducted a comprehensive inspection of this subspace.

Soon, Shen Yun discovered that, apart from the temperature being slightly lower than outside, this subspace was basically the same as the outside world in every other aspect.

Even if it snows outside, it will snow inside.

Looking at the data displayed on the detection equipment inside the carriage, Shen Yun exclaimed excitedly, "I see! I understand now!"

"Eh? Shen Jun, what did you figure out?" Karen came to Shen Yun's side and asked curiously.

"The form of existence of this subspace," Shen Yun said.

"Form of existence?"

"That's right." Shen Yun nodded and explained, "The Rainbow Magic Realm is not an independent subspace, but a subspace created by some creature using magnetic fields, and it exists in dependence on the magnetic field of the Lion's Nose Tree Sea. Simply put, the Rainbow Magic Realm is a projection of reality; it exists in reality, but it is parallel to reality."

"Oh~" Karen nodded thoughtfully, and said, "Shen Jun means that what happens in the Lion's Nose Tree Sea in reality will affect this Rainbow Magic Realm. But whatever happens in this Rainbow Magic Realm will not affect the real world?"

"That's right." Shen Yun nodded with a smile.

This rainbow-colored magical realm gave him some inspiration. If he could artificially create a temporary subspace, contain the monsters inside, and then let the GUTS team and Tiga enter the subspace to fight the monsters.

In this way, the destruction caused by the monster will be greatly reduced.

"Meta Domain..." Shen Yun stroked his chin.

Although it is similar in form to Nexus's Meta Realm, its presentation is vastly different.

As Shen Yun was talking to Karen, the noise of a car engine and tires screeching against the ground suddenly came from behind them.

Shen Yun and Karen turned around and looked.

This is the same bread truck that carried the family of four earlier.

It seems the other party has come full circle again.

The family of four in the car were dumbfounded when they saw the small truck parked on the side of the road.

"Isn't this the same truck that came in with us? How did they get ahead of us?" the driver asked, puzzled, as he saw the truck parked on the side of the road.

Kota spoke up, "Dad, you're not beating around the bush, are you?"

Huili looked out at the woods and said, "It seems like we've just been here."

"The roads here are all very similar."

"Honey, why don't we ask for directions?" said the madam sitting in the back.

"Alright then." The man didn't insist any further and parked the car in front of Shen Yun and Karen.

The man was cautious and only rolled down one-third of the car window.

"Excuse me, sir, could you tell us how to get out? We seem to be lost."

"There's no way out. This is the Rainbow Realm. No one can leave here until the rainbow appears," Shen Yun said.

"A demonic realm? That's no joke at all..." the man chuckled dryly.

"I'm not kidding you. If you don't believe me, you can keep going. Also, be careful to save gas." Shen Yun was too lazy to say more. Anyway, it was still early. If he didn't believe her, he could go for a couple more laps.

The man frowned slightly, rolled up the car window, and drove away without saying a word.

"I remember now!" Kota, sitting in the passenger seat, suddenly exclaimed, startling everyone else.

"Why are you making such a fuss?" Huili said, displeased.

"I've read about the demonic realm that the older brother mentioned in a book. The book says that once you get into the demonic realm, you can never escape until you die," Kota said, ignoring his sister and looking at the man driving the car.

"Don't talk nonsense! I think you've been reading too many science fiction novels!" the man scolded, a hint of panic creeping into his heart.

But he knew very well that the more critical the moment, the less he, as the head of the family, could afford to panic.

Soon, they saw the truck parked on the side of the road again.

Needless to say, they all knew they were going in circles.

"We're really going in circles. What are we going to do now?" the madam, sitting in the back seat, said worriedly.

"I'll have to ask them; they must know something." The man drove up to the truck.

"Um..." The man hadn't even opened his mouth yet.

Sitting in the passenger seat of the truck, Shen Yun said calmly, "Follow me."

"Oh, oh, oh." The man nodded and quickly drove after them.

Although the environments here are extremely similar and difficult to distinguish with the human eye, this is not a problem for Karen.

Before long, Karen drove her truck out of the woods and came to a place with a wide view and flat terrain.

Seeing the truck that had been leading the way stop, the man had no choice but to stop his car as well.

"The terrain here is open, so you can see the rainbow as soon as it appears. Let's rest here for the night and leave tomorrow after the rainbow appears," Shen Yun said as he got out of the car and went to the bread truck.

"Thank you. You've really gone to so much trouble," the man said repeatedly.
