Special effects: Starting with Ultraman Tiga

TPC base.

Medical Department, Physical Examination Center.

Shen Yun was giving Xue Na a physical examination.

After multiple tests, Xuena's body has fully recovered, and the vampire virus in her body has completely disappeared.

"Doctor, how is she doing now?" Zongfang stepped forward and asked in a low voice.

"Her condition is good, her body is recovering quickly, and the influence of the vampire virus has been completely ruled out. There is no possibility of relapse," Shen Yun said, closing the medical report in his hand.

"That's good." Zong Fang breathed a sigh of relief, then asked, "Can she be discharged now?"

"That's fine." Shen Yun nodded.

Upon hearing this, Zongfang immediately took Xuena and left the base to meet Onoda at the tavern they had arranged to meet.

After Shen Yun finished examining Xue Na, he quickly left the medical examination center and returned to his research institute to continue the improvement of Bizomo cells.

Zongfang drove his Sherlock car to the entrance of the tavern.

"Xena!" Onoda, who had been waiting for a long time at the entrance of the tavern, showed a hint of excitement when he saw Sherlock's car arrive.

"Senior brother!" As soon as Xue Na got out of the car, she rushed into Onoda's arms.

Onoda held Xue Na tightly, as if afraid that if he let go, Xue Na would disappear.

Zongfang looked at the two people embracing tightly and couldn't help but smile.

The two hugged for a while, then Onoda let go of Xue Na, went to Munenori, took his hand, and said gratefully, "Thank you! Thank you for bringing my Xue Na back. I really don't know how to express my gratitude."

"Living a good life with her is the greatest gratitude you can give us," Munakata said, patting Onoda on the shoulder.

"This time, I won't lose her again." Onoda wiped his eyes, a bright smile on his face.

"I have official business to attend to, so I won't stay any longer." Zongfang smiled and got back into the driver's seat of the Sherlock car.

"Next time, I'll treat you to a drink," Onoda said, bending down and looking at Munakata sitting in the driver's seat.

"Okay. But I'm quitting drinking right now, so just buy me some milk instead," Munakata said with a smile.

"good!"

Zong Fang smiled slightly and drove away in his Sherlock car.

Onoda stood there, waving goodbye.

Scherna, who was standing next to him, also waved.

Watching Sherlock's car drive away, Onoda turned his attention to Scheres and asked, "How about we go grab a drink?"

"The same as always?" Scherna looked up at Onoda and asked with a smile.

"The usual!" Onoda nodded with a smile and led Scherna into the tavern.

……

Time passed slowly, and soon it was late April, just like the beginning of March.

In the past month and a half, apart from one UFO sighting, no other aliens or monsters have been reported.

Shen Yun also improved a new generation of Bizomo cells through genetic technology.

Compared to the original Bizomo cells, this generation of Bizomo cells has not only experienced a significant decline in intelligence, but has also lost the ability to invade machinery and achieve evolution.

Of course, Shen Yun's improvement of the Zomo cells was mainly aimed at weakening this aspect.

Bizomo cells are dangerous for two main reasons: they are highly intelligent and they are capable of self-evolution.

If these two points are eliminated, the Bizomo cells won't be able to cause any trouble.

However, Shen Yun was not very satisfied with the results of this improvement. Based on the already improved Bizomo cells, he carried out a second improvement.

Because of Shen Yun's modifications, the Bizomo cells no longer have the ability to invade machinery.

Therefore, Karen, who had been on paid leave for nearly two months, was also called back by him to assist him with his work.

Compared to Shen Yun's busy schedule, the members of the Victory Team seemed quite relaxed.

Command Room.

The members of the Victory Team, who hadn't been deployed for a long time, were idly doing their own thing in the command room.

Shinjo twirled his pen while looking at the Sudoku puzzle in his hand, Daigo monitored the data of the daily patrol of the Flying Swallow No. 1, Rena paced back and forth in the command room out of boredom, and Horii lay on the chair snoring and asleep.

Even Ye Rui, who usually loves playing games on the command center console, was dozing off with his face propped up by his hand.

Horii was sleeping soundly when a hand suddenly reached out and pinched his nose, then pinched it hard.

"W-What are you doing! How annoying!" Horii woke up with a start, covering his nose and scolding angrily.

"Who snores so loudly while taking a nap?" Lina teased.

Upon hearing this, Xincheng couldn't help but look up and reveal a smile.

Horii touched his nose, which had been pinched so hard, and looked at Lina with a resentful expression.

Lina yawned as she approached Daigo and said, "You've been really free lately."

Yawning is contagious, and Daigo started yawning too.

"Every day is a peaceful day," Shinjo said, stretching and yawning.

"It's good that things are peaceful, but we have nothing to do," Horii said, stretching lazily.

"When was the last operation?" Lina suddenly asked.

"That was the time we received the report of the spaceship sighting, which was a month and a half ago," Horii said.

"In the end, we still didn't find that spaceship, did we?" Shinjo said.

"Even he's dozing off," Horii exclaimed in surprise, pointing at Nozue who was dozing.

Shin-joo took a ballpoint pen and gently tapped Ye-rui on the head.

Ye Rui woke up with a start, wiped his mouth groggily, and started to doze off again.

"This is called 'spring sleep is so sweet that one doesn't notice the dawn,'" Xincheng said, yawning as well.

That's right, it's springtime and the cherry blossoms are in very beautiful bloom this year.

As the warm winds moved north, the disasters seemed to have come to an end, and perhaps even aliens and monsters were lured away by the fragrance of flowers.

The elite members of the winning team enjoyed a rare moment of relaxation.

Although the Earth has temporarily ushered in peace, daily patrols are still essential.

Today, it was Zongfang who went out on patrol.

"Headquarters, this is Unit 1. Regular patrols are proceeding normally. Return to base now," Zongfang reported.

"Understood." Daigo yawned again.

The sound of a yawn reached Zong Fang's ears through the communication, causing him to yawn as well.

Before long, Zong Fang piloted the Flying Swallow No. 1 back to the base safely.

At the same time, at Shen Yun's research institute.

Shen Yun is cultivating second-generation Bizomo cells that have been improved through genetic engineering.

The second-generation Bizomo cells have lower intelligence than the first-generation Bizomo cells, and are basically driven only by instinct.

Its ability is limited to absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen; it can no longer even release electricity.

Just then, a phone call came into the research institute.

Karen immediately answered the phone, spoke a few words to the caller, then hung up and reported back to her supervisor:

"Shen Jun, the people in the technical department say that the particle accelerator is complete."

"Oh? It's finished?" Upon hearing this, Shen Yun raised an eyebrow and placed the second-generation Bizomo cells he was cultivating in his hand, saying:

"Let's go take a look."

Although it was expected to be completed by the end of March, plans can always change.

Shen Yun brought Karen to the technical department and conducted a small experiment on the particle accelerator that the department had built based on the blueprints.

Once the particle accelerator is activated, it can indeed produce high-energy molecular fog. And the small amount of high-energy molecular fog produced, when combined with micromachines, can indeed become small artificial monsters.

After watching the palm-sized Gakuma disappear into a green glow, Shen Yun turned to Karen and said, "Let's go to the command room and inform the Victory Team that we'll be conducting an artificial monster experiment tomorrow."

Command Room.

Because the equipment in the command room had been used under excessive load for a long time, the Victory Team took advantage of this period of peace to repair various military equipment. Various lines and cables were laid all over the ground, and the members of the Victory Team were helping with the repairs.

At this moment, Director Sawai and Megumi Iruma arrived at the command room together.

"Things have been really peaceful lately," Sawai said with a smile, looking at the command center that was being repaired. "However, we can use this time to thoroughly check the computer mainframes and give them a proper overhaul."

"The team members are saying that maybe monsters and aliens will never appear again," Megumi said with a smile.

"That would be ideal," Sawai smiled upon hearing this, then said seriously, "But for our organization, peacetime is far more difficult than wartime. We must maintain morale!"

"You make a very good point," Megumi Kijima nodded in agreement.

"Captain Megumi Kijima." Sawai suddenly looked at Megumi Kijima and said, "I have a very high opinion of your management skills. I'll have to trouble you to take care of things."

"Yes, thank you for your compliment!"

"So many unusual events have happened these past few months. After all, we humans aren't animals that can be in a constant state of tension." Sawai looked at Megumi and smiled, "It's good to go out and relax once in a while."

Megumi smiled and nodded; she understood what Sawai meant.

Before long, all the equipment in the command room had been repaired, and the dark command room was once again bright.

Megumi also informed the GUTS team of her decision.

"To admire the flowers?!" Daigo showed a hint of surprise.

"Yes, we should lighten the mood every now and then," Megumi said with a smile.

"Great!" The GUTS team cheered.

"I haven't been to see flowers in a long time. Let me tell you, I'm very picky about flower viewing." Daigo stood up excitedly and began to boast about his experience.

"Come on, come on, come on!" Horii interrupted Daigo's boasting.

"If we all leave, won't this place be empty?" Zongfang said.

"Oh right, someone has to stay behind." Megumi thought of this as well.

"yes."

Daigo and Rena immediately pointed at Horii, while Shinjo grabbed Horii's hand and lifted it up.

"Could it be me?" Horii exclaimed in surprise.

"I think I'll stay," Ye Rui said, "Besides, there are still some files to organize."

Upon hearing this, Shinjo and Horii both gave Nozue a thumbs up, with Shinjo even giving Nozue a light pat on the back for his spirit of selfless dedication.

Megumi turned around, looked at the youngest member, Nori, and said, "This job doesn't necessarily have to be done by you. We'll decide fairly by drawing cards."

These words from Megumi immediately froze the smiles on Shinjo and Horii's faces.

"Who has playing cards?" Megumi asked with a smile.

Munakata took a deck of cards from where personal belongings were kept in the command room and handed it to Kijima Megumi.

The Victory team has someone on night watch every day, and it gets very boring if they don't have something to do to pass the time.

Megumi gently shuffled the cards, then placed them in the center of the command table, smiling as she said, "Alright, let's catch the ghost! Whoever draws the JOKER card stays."

Daigo and Rena clasped their hands together in a prayer-like gesture, seemingly praying that they wouldn't be drawn.

Shinjo and Horii rubbed their hands together, seemingly hoping for good luck.

Zongfang, on the other hand, didn't have so many concerns. He simply reached out, drew a card, and tossed it onto the table.

Horii followed suit, drew a card, and smiled when he realized he hadn't drawn the correct one.

Xincheng even blindfolded himself and reached out to draw cards, looking more nervous than if he had encountered a monster.

Shinjo and Lina drew a card at the same time. When Shinjo saw that he hadn't won, he immediately let out a strange shout of joy.

Lina excitedly raised her hand and shouted, "Queen of Hearts!"

Seeing this, both Nori and Daigo drew a card.

After everyone else had finished drawing their cards, Keiji drew one himself.

Daigo, having drawn his card, returned to his seat, but upon picking up the card and looking at it, his smile instantly froze on his face.

Seeing that no one drew the Joker card, Horii stood up, put the cards away, and said, "Alright, let's draw again."

After all, this uses a whole deck of cards, and the probability of drawing the Joker from fifty-four cards in one go is not high.

How unlucky must it be to draw JOKER in the first round?

"Alright, alright, let's go!" Xincheng's confidence soared.

After Horii finished collecting the cards, he noticed that only Daigo hadn't handed over his cards, and Horii urged him:

"Daigo, one more time."

"What's wrong?" Shinjo asked.

Daigo slowly turned around and raised the card in his hand.

It's JOKER!

Daigo gave a wry smile and said, "It's a real shame, but I'll stay here as long as I can."

"Everyone, go and have fun..."

By the end, Daigo's voice had become weak and listless.

"What a pity," Horii said, feigning regret.

"Yes, we'll play yours too," Shinjo said with a smile.

"Thank you so much."

At this moment, Shen Yun brought Karen to the command room.

Shen Yun looked at the lively group of Victory Team members and greeted them with a smile, "Good evening, what's making you all so happy?"

Megumi turned around, looked at Shen Yun who was walking into the command room, and explained with a smile, "Because everything has been peaceful lately, Director Sawai decided to give our Victory Team a break so we can relax. It's also cherry blossom season now, so we plan to go see the cherry blossoms."

"Doctor, Karen, please come along too," Megumi invited.

"Okay," Shen Yun agreed with a smile, then said, "However, the flower viewing will have to wait a while. The particle accelerator is now complete, and the artificial monster experiment will begin tomorrow to select users for the artificial monsters. Please make sure you are there."

"Huh?!" The members of the GUTS team immediately let out a sigh, just like elementary school students who were given a huge amount of homework during the holidays.

On the contrary, Daigo showed a hint of smugness on his face.

Indeed, human happiness is built upon the suffering of others.
