Special effects: Starting with Ultraman Tiga

"Who are you?" Kirino looked Shen Yun up and down, a hint of doubt on his face.

"You should know why I'm here." Shen Yun raised an eyebrow, looking at Tong Ye with slight surprise.

"You're joking, I don't know everything either." Kirino shook his head.

Although he was also somewhat puzzled as to why his abilities were not working.

But Shen Yun's words made him understand.

The person in front of me knew he was a superhuman.

"Aren't you going to invite me in?"

"Come in." Kirino readily stepped aside.

He takes it all in stride.

If Shen Yun had no ill intentions towards him, he wouldn't have needed to run away.

If Shen Yun harbors ill intentions towards him, he won't be able to escape even if his superpowers are ineffective.

Shen Yun entered the house where Tong Ye lived.

The room is not large; in fact, it could be described as cramped.

Shen Yun only needed to glance at it to take in all the contents.

Kirino placed the cushion from the bedside onto the dining table and said, "Please sit down. My humble abode is simple and I have nothing to offer you. I hope you will forgive my poor hospitality."

"It's nothing," Shen Yun said, sitting down. "With your abilities, making money should be very easy for you."

"Human desires are endless; once they're set in motion, they're very difficult to control. The appetite for desire is insatiable."

"That's true." Shen Yun nodded in agreement.

"I believe the genius scientist from the TPC Science Bureau didn't just come to chat with me. What's the matter?" Kirino recognized Shen Yun and said.

"I'd like to invite you to join TPC as a special consultant. Your job will be to inform us of any monsters or aliens that may appear in a particular area, giving TPC time to prepare. Salary is not an issue," Shen Yun invited.

"I'm sorry, but I must decline," Kirino shook his head and politely declined.

"What's the reason?"

"Dr. Shen, what do you think would happen if Ultraman's true identity were discovered?" Kirino asked Shen Yun calmly. "Do you think he would continue to be praised and worshipped as a hero, or would he be treated like a monster, feared and shunned?"

Before Shen Yun could speak, Tong Ye answered his own question: "I think there are probably more people who are afraid of his superpowers."

"I am the same. The voice in people's hearts and the things that are about to happen have nothing to do with my own will. Moreover, I can see things that people cannot see."

"To be honest, I don't like Ultraman. In fact, I hate Ultraman."

"We're both superpowered, but people treat me like a monster while praising Ultraman as a hero. Don't you think that's just too unfair?" Kirino said.

"You're wrong, Kirino." Shen Yun looked at Kirino and said seriously, "People praise Ultraman Tiga because he has risked his life time and time again to fight against alien invaders and monsters, winning people's trust and praise."

"Moreover, he never considered himself a hero."

"It seems you already know Ultraman's true identity." Kirino said with some surprise.

"That's right, I knew his identity from the very beginning." Shen Yun nodded.

"He was an ordinary person, not smart or strong, but he was warm-hearted, kind, gentle, and brave."

"Anyone who knows him well will not feel afraid or alienated just because they know he is Ultraman Tiga."

"Because he is both light and humanity!"

"You too, Kirino."

"You are a human being, not a monster!"

"Human..." Kirino's expression was slightly moved.

Seeing the slight emotion on Kirino's face, Shen Yun pressed on, saying, "Kirino, many monsters and aliens appear suddenly without any warning."

"With your abilities, you could truly save many lives, so I really hope you'll consider it carefully."

"If you don't want to appear in public, that's fine too. You just need to tell me when and where the monster or alien will appear."

"This might not earn you the same praise as Ultraman Tiga, but... who says only those who stand in the light are heroes?"

After saying that, Shen Yun left his contact information and then left the dilapidated apartment in Tongye.

To be honest, he didn't know if his persuasion would be able to convince Kirino.

In short, do your best and leave the rest to fate.

If that doesn't work, have Daigo come in person.

Shen Yun returned to the TPC base from the Kirino family and began helping Reiko Kashiwamura conduct various tests on the Victory Swallow EX-J.

……

Several days have passed since the Garula incident.

That evening.

The civil engineer, Katsuma Ikuta, and a beautiful woman walked into a Western restaurant together.

When Ikuta looked at the beautiful woman named Tomoko, his face was full of fawning smiles, just like a dog.

However, this woman named Tomoko had no interest in him at all.

She had been on the phone the whole time since she came in, and hadn't said more than a few words to him.

Ikuta took a sip of red wine and took the initiative to start a conversation.

He pulled two tickets from his pocket and said with a fawning smile, "Tomoko, Tomoko, listen to me, Tomoko. I got two tickets to the opera house, and they're even for Tosca! They sold out on the first day. I thought I wouldn't be able to see it, so I waited for someone to return them, and finally I got them. What do you think? Let's go see it together!"

"I understand." Tomoko smiled and hung up the phone, then looked at Ikuta and gently shook her head, saying:

"I'm sorry, I can't go."

"Huh?" Ikuta's smile vanished instantly.

"I think it's best if we don't see each other again," Tomoko said, taking a drag of the cigarette she was holding.

"Have you fallen for someone else?" Ikuta asked Tomoko nervously.

"That's not it. I'm just too busy with work. I was transferred from the sales department to the publicity department in April, and now my mind is full of work." Tomoko looked at the cigarette with wisps of smoke rising from it, glanced at Ikuta, and said calmly, "I really don't have time to think about you. Working in the publicity department was my biggest dream since I joined the company."

"dream……"

"I'll pay for your opera ticket," Tomoko said, stubbing out her cigarette in the ashtray.

"No need, what's this for..."

"I have to go to the agency to discuss some things with them, excuse me." Tomoko picked up two designer handbags, got up and left the restaurant.

"Tomoko, don't go!" Ikuta called out hurriedly.

Watching Tomoko leave, Ikuta sat down in a chair, dejected, on the verge of tears.

At this moment, the waiter, suppressing a laugh, brought the dishes that Ikuta had ordered to the table.

"Sorry to keep you waiting. Release that Gardevoir masterpiece, 'Tokusatsu: Starting with Ultraman Tiga,' click to read now!"

"What are you laughing at?" Ikuta said, displeased.

"Sir, we are professionally trained, and we won't laugh no matter how funny it is. You must be mistaken," the waiter said with a smile to Ikuta.

"You..." Ikuta was furious, but he couldn't say anything. He could only sulk, downed the glass of red wine in one gulp, and then picked up his knife and fork to stuff large mouthfuls of food into his mouth.

"I'll eat! I'll eat! I'll eat and eat!"

Ikuta ate heartily while pouring himself a glass of red wine, which he then downed in one gulp.

After finishing his meal, Ikuta, quite drunk, staggered home.

He grew angrier the more he thought about that heartless woman, Tomoko.

"Damn it! She was the one who said she wanted to go! I spent so much effort buying these two tickets! I'm so angry!"

Katsuma Ikuta walked along, cursing and swearing, completely unaware of the warning signs on the road. He lost his footing and fell into the creek.

With a splash, a lot of water was sprayed up.

"Damn it!" Katsuma Ikuta sat in the stream, angrily slapping the water's surface, the splashing water then drenching him.

Katsuma Ikuta climbed out of the stream, staggered back home, took off his soaking wet pants, and collapsed onto the tatami mat.

Growing angrier by the thought, Katsuma Ikuta pulled out the two opera tickets and was about to tear them to shreds!

But when he thought about the value of those two tickets and all the effort he had put into them, he couldn't bear to tear them up.

In the end, he could only throw the ticket aside and lie on the bed crying like a dog.

"Tomoko, Tomoko..."

The excruciating pain of heartbreak drove the young man, Ikuta, to escape into his dreams.

While he was dreaming, a strange cosmic ray shone near his home.

Then, strange things happened.

An almost completely transparent monster appeared in the town.

The appearance of this monster caused panic among the citizens.

After receiving news of the monster's appearance, the GUTS team immediately set out.

Two mechs, Flying Swallow No. 1 and Flying Swallow No. 2, quickly arrived at the scene.

Upon arrival at the scene, the two Flying Swallows were the first to attack the monster.

However, the spiked cannons fired by the two Flying Swallows pierced through the body of the transparent monster and hit the buildings behind it.

"Boom!"

The flames from the explosion slowly rose, and the building that was hit was blown to pieces.

"What?!" Horii exclaimed in surprise when he saw the spiked cannon miss its target.

"Shinjo, Rena, ranged attacks might not work on this monster. Let's use close-range attacks!" Munakata said immediately.

"Understood!" Shinjo and Lina responded, then piloted their mechs to the monster.

Saber Athena was slightly faster than Mecha Golza. Lina arrived in front of the wandering transparent monster first and swung her hand at it.

Two beam sabers pierced through the monster's body and slashed diagonally across the apartment building next to it.

The blue beam saber sliced ​​the apartment building in two diagonally, like a hot knife through butter.

"Huh?!" Lina exclaimed in surprise.

"Splash!"

The cut section of the apartment building was about to collapse, so Lina quickly used her hands to hold onto the cut-off part.

"Close-range attacks are ineffective too?" Zongfang was also stunned.

This was the first time they had ever encountered such a monster.

"Commander, what should we do now?" Shinjo controlled the mechanical Golza and came in front of the transparent monster. He raised the mechanical Golza's arm and waved it. The mechanical Golza's arm passed right through the monster's body.

"This..." For a moment, Zongfang didn't know what to do.

After the sun rose, the transparent monster gradually disappeared in the sunlight.

"The monster has disappeared..." Daigo said in disbelief.

"What kind of monster is this?" Horii scratched his head, looking completely bewildered.

"Everyone, return to the team," Zong Fang said.

After the monster disappeared, the GUTS team immediately returned to base and investigated the strange creature.

"That monster seemed to have no physical form, which was very strange," Lina said, recalling the monster that had appeared earlier.

"Yeah, it's like a projection, you can't even touch it," Shinjo chimed in.

"Strange." Nori looked at the various data for region J and frowned slightly.

"Yorui, have you found anything?" Daigo asked as he came up behind Yuri.

"The data for region J is all normal; no monsters have appeared," Nori said.

"What?" Upon hearing this, Zongfang quickly walked to Nozue's side and asked, "No monsters?"

"Yes, scientifically speaking, that monster doesn't exist at all," Nori nodded, looking at the data on the computer screen.

"It doesn't exist?" Shinjo frowned, immediately went to Ye Rui, and said, "I saw it with my own eyes!"

"So, the cameras on the Victory Swallow didn't capture any images of the monster either," Lina said.

"Could it be that what we saw was an illusion?" Daigo immediately thought of Falton, who had appeared before.

"Has anything strange happened since last night?" Megumi turned to look at Nozue and asked.

"Records of cosmic ray exposure have been found in that area," Nori replied after searching through the data.

"Cosmic rays?" Megumi looked slightly puzzled.

"The location is point T in region J, in a small area around the former Ueno district," Nori said, projecting a map of point T in region J onto the main screen in the command room.

"These are cosmic rays that have never been discovered before, and they have been handed over to the doctor for analysis," Horii said.

"I see." Megumi nodded slightly, looked at the GUTS team members, and said, "Until the doctor's analysis results are out, everyone should go and rest."

graduate School.

After receiving the data on cosmic rays from the Victory Team, Shen Yun immediately began to study and analyze it.

He was still very interested in this cosmic ray that could transform human consciousness into reality.

However, Shen Yun remembered that this ability to convert consciousness into reality seemed to only work on people with special brainwaves.

Moreover, very few people have this type of brainwave.

"I don't know if my brainwaves meet the requirements," Shen Yun pondered.

The monster Bakgon isn't difficult to deal with; all you need to do is find that unlucky guy named Ikuta.

If you wake him up, Bakgong will disappear.

In comparison, the cosmic ray that could transform human consciousness into reality was more appealing to Shen Yun.
