Special effects: Starting with Ultraman Tiga

Chapter 270 Saeko Kageyama's Choice: The Insect Descends

"Orphnoch potion, a potion that allows one to slowly awaken into an Orphnoch without dying," Shen Yun replied with a smile.

"The Orphnoch that awakens naturally by taking the Orphnoch potion not only does not suffer from the short lifespan of the Orphnoch, but its strength is also equivalent to that of a superior Orphnoch of the original species, and it has the potential to continue to evolve."

"As long as you cooperate with my experiments, I can keep providing you with Orphnoch potions once they are developed, until you are fully awakened as Orphnoch."

At that moment, Yuji Kiba suddenly raised his hand, looking at Shen Yun with a somewhat restrained expression, and cautiously asked, "Um, Doctor, can I not take this Orphnoch potion?"

Kiba Yuji's words also made Takuma Itsuro and Kageyama Saeko turn their heads.

This is a risk-free, golden opportunity to become a superior person. How could any fool refuse it?

"Of course," Shen Yun nodded with a smile.

"Thank you." Yuji Kiba also breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, he didn't really want to become a monster; being an ordinary human was actually quite nice.

"Do you have any other questions?" Shen Yun looked at the three people in front of him, picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and asked.

The three of them shook their heads.

"Since there are no other questions, please follow me." Shen Yun put down his teacup, stood up from his chair, led the three upstairs, and took samples from them one by one.

After taking samples of blood, saliva, and skin cells, Shen Yun waved for them to leave.

However, Saeko Kageyama was not in a hurry to leave.

Looking at Kageyama Saeko still there, Shen Yun frowned slightly and asked, "Is there anything else?"

"Doctor." Saeko Kageyama gently tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, revealing her fair and slender neck. She lightly bit her red lips, revealing a bewitching smile, and then said in a slightly magnetic voice, "You said before that as long as I can cooperate with your experiments, Doctor, I can make any request, right?"

"That's right. I did say that I would try my best to meet any requests that aren't too unreasonable." Shen Yun nodded.

"What if I wanted you?" Kageyama Saeko boldly moved closer to Shen Yun, bringing with her a fragrant breeze.

Shen Yun looked at Kageyama Saeko, who was standing close to him. Although she was only wearing an ordinary white shirt and black slim-fit trousers, her pretty face, which combined intellect and charm, made her look very sexy and mature.

"This is not for sale."

"You're so funny." Saeko Kageyama chuckled softly, putting a little distance between herself and Shen Yun. Then, she leaned back on the lab table, displaying her slender figure to Shen Yun. On her pretty face, which combined intellect and charm, she revealed a bewitching smile and said, "However, I haven't decided yet what I want."

As she spoke, Saeko Kageyama looked up at Shen Yun again and asked, "Doctor's promise should remain valid, right?"

"certainly."

"Then I'm relieved. Doctor, see you next time." After blowing a kiss to Shen Yun, Saeko Kageyama smiled and left Shen Yun's laboratory.

"As expected of a notorious villain, her skill level is quite high. However, she's still a bit green." Shen Yun chuckled and shook her head, focusing her attention on the sample in front of her.

He saw right through this little trick of feigning retreat to gain favor.

However, given Saeko Kageyama's methods, it's no wonder she's been able to keep things in suspense for so long.

"Tsk, troublesome."

……

Half a year passed in the blink of an eye, and it was August 1997.

Deland Castle, the laboratory.

"Come on, open your mouth."

"Doctor, please be gentle this time. My mouth hurt for ages last time."

"..."

Holding a medical cotton swab, Shen Yun, who was about to take oral cell and saliva samples from Kageyama Saeko, said calmly, "Don't say things that could be misunderstood."

"No, I'm just telling the truth..."

Before Saeko Kageyama could finish speaking, Shen Yun pinched her mouth shut and used a medical cotton swab to collect her oral cells.

Shen Yun, who had completed the sampling of Kageyama Saeko's oral cells and saliva, also placed Kageyama Saeko's oral cells and saliva along with her blood and skin cell samples.

"Doctor, you're really tough. But I don't dislike it." Saeko Kageyama reclined in her chair, propping her cheek with her hand, and smiled as she looked at Shen Yun, making flirtatious remarks.

"..."

"This is the last time we'll take samples," Shen Yun said calmly after processing the samples.

"Huh? The last time?" Kageyama Saeko was also a little flustered when she heard this.

"The Orphnoch potion is almost finished, so there's no need to continue taking samples. From now on, you two just need to come in for a check-up once a week to monitor your evolution progress," Shen Yun said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Saeko Kageyama breathed a sigh of relief and felt at ease.

Thankfully, otherwise all her efforts over the past six months would have been in vain.

"Then I'll go back and wait for good news from the professor." Saeko Kageyama got up from her chair and left the laboratory with a smile on her face.

Watching Saeko Kageyama's retreating figure, Shen Yun gently shook his head.

Silly girl, do you even know what sunk costs are?

Trying to outsmart him is too naive.

……

Another half month passed. Shen Yun used a dropper to draw a few drops of the blood-red medicine from his hand and dropped them onto the culture dishes containing the three cells. Then he observed them under a microscope.

The cells in the petri dish, under the influence of the medicine, also began to divide and proliferate, evolving in the direction of orphinoids.

"At this rate, it will only take two years to fully evolve into an Orphnoch, and the speed of evolution is completely within the range that the human body can withstand," Shen Yun muttered to himself as he looked at the changes under the microscope.

The dramatic evolution that should have been completed in an instant was extended to two years.

This kind of "slow" evolution produces a burden that is entirely within the range that the human body can bear.

After completing the development of the Orphnoch potion, Shen Yun immediately summoned Takuma Itaro and Kageyama Saeko, had them take the Orphnoch potion, and observed their evolution.

Time flies, and another two years have passed.

1999, April 10.

Inside the laboratory at Deland Castle.

"Snapped!"

A test tube containing a blood-red potion slipped from Takuma Itsuki's hand. His eyes were now clouded with gray, and the distinctive Orphino pattern appeared on his face.

"Ah!!!" With a roar from Takuma Itsuro, he transformed from a human into a centipede, Orphnoch.

Meanwhile, Saeko Kageyama, who had also drunk the Orphnoch potion, was transformed from a human into a lobster Orphnoch.

"Is this the power of the Orphnoch? Sparashi!" The lobster Orphnoch exclaimed in genuine admiration as it felt the powerful force emanating from within its body.

Watching Takuma Ittaro and Kageyama Saeko evolve into Orphnochs after drinking the last dose of Orphnoch potion, Shen Yun closed his observation log and said, "Come over here for a checkup."

"Yes!" Upon hearing this, Takuma Itsuki and Kageyama Saeko both reverted to their human forms and nodded in agreement.

Shen Yun also examined Takuma Itsuki and Kageyama Saeko's bodies one by one.

He is in good health, with no defects of orphobia, and his cells are no different from those of a normal person.

Shen Yun nodded in satisfaction upon seeing the examination results.

In this way, he could feel at ease letting Yuuka take the Orphnoch potion and awaken.

"You are both in good health, with no defects whatsoever." Shen Yun handed the examination report to Takuma Itsuki and Kageyama Saeko, saying, "The experiment was a success; you can leave now."

"Yes!" Takuma Ichiro bowed slightly, then excitedly left with the examination report in his hand.

Prior to this, Murakami Kyoji had invited Takuma Itsuro and Kageyama Saeko to join Clover several times.

Takuma Itsuro had already accepted Murakami Kyoji's invitation.

However, Saeko Kageyama directly refused. She had no lifespan limit and no need to be a dog for the King of Orphnoch.

She has better options.

Seeing Takuma Itsuki leave in such a hurry, a hint of contempt flashed in Kageyama Saeko's eyes.

They are truly guarding a treasure mountain without realizing it.

"Doctor, your promise still stands, right?" Saeko Kageyama turned to look at Shen Yun and asked.

"Of course it counts."

Upon hearing this, Saeko Kageyama immediately knelt on one knee, bowed her head, and said, "Doctor, please allow me to follow you."

"You're quite adept at finding loopholes," Shen Yun said, glancing at Kageyama Saeko, who was kneeling on the ground.

"Doctor, you won't go back on your word, will you?" Saeko Kageyama looked up and asked cautiously.

"I wouldn't break my promise over something so trivial. Get up," Shen Yun said calmly.

"Yes!" Upon hearing this, Saeko Kageyama excitedly stood up from the ground.

……

That afternoon.

Yuka, who had just been picked up from school by Mary Baron, beamed with joy upon seeing Shen Yun. She ran over and threw herself into his arms, saying sweetly, "Dear Uncle! I missed you so much!"

"Didn't we just meet this morning?" Shen Yun said with a smile as he picked up Jiehua.

"I don't care, I just miss you~"

"Alright, alright." Shen Yun smiled and pinched Jiehua's cheek, then handed her a blood-red Orphnoch potion, saying, "Jiehua, come on, drink this potion."

"Dear, what kind of medicine is this?" Jiehua asked curiously, looking at the blood-red potion in Shen Yun's hand.

"A drug that can turn you into a powerful monster."

"Like that weirdo, Uchi-chan?" Yuka's eyes lit up, and she quickly asked.

"More or less," Shen Yun said with a smile.

"Okay." Yuka took the bottle and tilted her head back to drink the entire Orphnoch potion.

Growing up in an environment where almost the entire family, except for Shen Yun and Youyi, were eccentric, coupled with the influence of the overall atmosphere of the school and society.

Yuka doesn't have much aversion to becoming a monster; in fact, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she looks forward to it.

After downing the Orphnoch potion in one gulp, Yuka wiped her mouth with her sleeve, then looked at Shen Yun with expectant eyes and asked, "Dear, when can I become like you, Uchi-chan?"

"If you drink one bottle every week, you'll awaken within two years," Shen Yun said with a smile.

"Huh? Two years? That's a long time..."

Saeko Kageyama watched as Yuka drank the Orphnoch potion and instantly understood what was going on.

The development of the Orphnoch potion was solely for the purpose of enabling this little girl to safely awaken as an Orphnoch.

She's such a lucky little girl.

……

That night.

A meteorite from outer space, carrying intense flames, landed in the Shibuya area of ​​Tokyo.

A massive meteorite crashed into the Shibuya area, and the enormous shockwave destroyed the surrounding buildings.

The residents of these apartment buildings died in their sleep without feeling any pain.

The moment the meteorite fell, countless buildings were reduced to ruins, and it even triggered a massive earthquake with extremely strong amplitude, affecting the surrounding areas.

In the center of the crater, green alien insects emerged from the raging flames and scattered in all directions, killing and mimicking the humans they had encountered.

However, these alien insects soon paid the price for their recklessness.

"What exactly are you guys? How can you transform into my likeness? Are you something from inside a meteorite?" The human form of the Shocker monster questioned the alien insect that was mimicking him.

These highly aggressive alien insects did not answer the Shocker's question. Instead, they transformed into their original forms and charged towards the Shocker's human form.

The human form of the Shocker monster twisted its neck and transformed into an antlion monster.

Seeing the human suddenly transform into an antlion monster, the charging alien insects froze in place.

Why can a human turn into a bug?

While the alien insects were still stunned, the antlion monster had already rushed in front of them, its large mandibles directly grabbing the alien insects' bodies.

"Boom!"

The alien insect, struck by the antlion monster's mandibles, was instantly cut in half. The two halves of the corpse exploded, turning into two balls of green flame.

Seeing their companion killed on the spot, the remaining three alien insects did not hesitate and rushed forward, slamming into the antlion monster's body.

These are just larval alien insects, and their strength is not necessarily stronger than that of the Shocker Bone Fighters. Their attacks are no different from tickling the Ant-Lion Monster.

"You guys are really weak. Who gave you the guts to provoke Shocker?" The Ant-Lion Monster raised its hand and slapped a monster away. The monster didn't fly far before it exploded in mid-air, turning into a ball of green flame.

Seeing the ridiculously strong Shocker monster in front of them, the remaining two Zerg turned and ran away.

"Hmph, trying to escape?" The ant-lion monster burrowed directly underground, creating an ant hell made of sand.

The two alien insects hadn't run far before they were trapped in the Ant Hell, where they were killed one by one by the ant-lion monsters guarding the Ant Hell.

This kind of situation keeps happening in the area surrounding Shibuya.

The unusual activity in the Shibuya area was also reported to the high-ranking officials closest to Tokyo.

Upon receiving the news, Shen Yun could only hurriedly put on his clothes, take A2 and Saeko Kageyama with him, and immediately head to the Shibuya area to take charge of the overall situation.
