Special effects: Starting with Ultraman Tiga

Chapter 273 Artificial A: The Child from 32 Years Ago (2011)

"Crane Memory, this should be the most suitable memory for you," Shen Yun said.

"Thank you, sir. I really like this gift." Yuka happily accepted the memory chip.

She liked any gift that her father gave her.

She has carefully kept all the birthday gifts Shen Yun gave her over the years.

"Oh, right, and this too." Shen Yun took out another Gaia Driver and handed it to Yuka.

"Huh? Gaia Driver? Dear father, isn't this a bit too extravagant? This is just a regular memory." Yuka looked at the Gaia Driver that Shen Yun handed her and showed a hint of surprise.

It's just a regular memory chip, yet it uses a driver like the Gaia Driver, which is used to drive advanced memory chips. Isn't that a bit too extravagant?

"What's wrong with ordinary memory? Is there some rule that only high-grade memory can use the Gaia Driver?" Shen Yun asked with a smile, pinching Jiehua's cute face.

"Yes."

"Take it." Shen Yun grabbed Jiehua's hand and put the Gaia Driver into her hand.

"Alright." Yuka happily accepted the Gaia Driver, then looked up at Shen Yun and asked with considerable curiosity, "Why did you come out of the lab so early today, Dad?"

Normally, at this time, Dassan should still be in the lab.

"Since the new technology is complete, and there are no new technologies for me to research in the future, I'm completely free now. I can spend more time with you all," Shen Yun asked with a smile.

Although Shen Yun often has to research various technologies, he still tries his best to spend time with his adopted daughters, taking them out to play on weekends, tutoring them in their studies, celebrating their birthdays, and so on.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be so intimate with him.

"Really? That's great! I'll go tell Uchi-chan and the others this good news right now." Upon hearing this, Yuka's eyes lit up with surprise, and she quickly got up from the sofa and ran outside.

……

2003 years.

Two years have passed in the blink of an eye. (I originally wanted to write about Tiger Sister, but she was so focused on fighting in Extreme Battle that after she found out in the TV series that Extreme Battle was fake, she completely lost her fighting spirit and didn't want to live anymore, so I decided against it.)

Inside the pavilion of the manor.

Shen Yun leaned back in his chair, quietly flipping through the technical data on artificial immortal beings that Tianwanglu Boshi had given him.

All I can say is that Hiroshi Tennoji truly deserves to be the final boss in Blade; his talent is undeniable.

In just two years, they gave him a satisfactory answer.

"Not bad." Shen Yun closed the technical materials that Tianwanglu Boshi had given him and praised them.

"I'm glad you're satisfied, Doctor." Hiroshi Tennoji said with a smile.

"Let me see your work," Shen Yun said, putting the technical documents aside and looking at Hiroshi Tennoji in front of him.

"Of course." Hiroshi Tennoji rolled up his sleeve, revealing the card reader that was fused with his body.

Then, he took out a sealing card that contained the artificial undead creature, Cerberus.

"Hen Shin!"

With that, Hiroshi Tennoji inserted the fifth Ace into the card reader that had become fused with his arm.

As the fifth Ace was inserted into the card reader, Hiroshi Tennoji's body changed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the blink of an eye, Hiroshi Tennoji transformed into Cerberus, the undead beast.

Its appearance is composed of gold, purple and black, and its entire body is covered with gold relief patterns that resemble blood vessels.

On each of his shoulder armors was a golden dog skull.

The skull's eyes were purple, as if they were inlaid with two purple gemstones.

The three snake-bone-like tubes extending from its back are for absorbing cards.

Cerberus, the undead beast, also resembled a canine skull covered in spikes, its face extremely ferocious and savage.

A twist also occurred at his chest, from which half of Hiroshi Tennoji's head emerged, transforming into a pale-skinned, purple-eyed monster head.

These purple eyes signify that Cerberus's consciousness is being dominated by Uranus Lupus.

Shen Yun watched as Hiroshi Tennoji transformed, and silently took a sip of tea.

This transformation method really does resemble a children's insole.

"As long as the fusion coefficient is high enough, humans can evolve into immortal beings through the power of immortal creatures, and thus achieve immortality," said Hiroshi Tennoji.

Shen Yun nodded slightly.

He was naturally aware of this.

In the main Blade story, Kenzaki Kazuma transformed into the Joker because his fusion coefficient was too high and he transformed so many times.

"Good. Where is what I asked for?" Shen Yun asked.

"I've brought what you asked for." Hiroshi Tennoji transformed back into a human from an undead creature, then took out a Cerberus sealing card and handed it to Shen Yun.

Shen Yun took the sealed card and flicked his wrist, sending the artificial A towards A2.

A2 simply raised his hand and grabbed the artificial A, which then merged into A2's body under A2's power.

Immediately afterwards, golden vein patterns, like golden embroidery, slowly emerged on A2's snow-white skin. These emerging golden veins, like golden tattoos, covered A2's entire body.

Soon, these golden vein patterns, like golden embroidery, slowly disappeared into A2's skin.

When A2 uses the power of Cerberus, these golden veins will reappear.

"This..." Tennoji Hiroshi looked at this scene with a look of astonishment on his face.

Can sealed cards be fused directly without a card reader?

This was indeed somewhat beyond his comprehension.

After watching A2 absorb the artificial A, Shen Yun turned to look at Hiroshi Tennoji sitting beside him and said calmly, "In exchange, I will recommend you to the Grand Boss. As for whether you can get a high-ranking position, that depends on your own abilities."

"Your words, Doctor, are enough. If I still can't get that position with your recommendation, it just means I'm a hopeless case." Hiroshi Tennoji laughed heartily.

He knew perfectly well that the demon doctor in front of him, who looked no different from a young man, was an old subordinate of the Shocker Chief and enjoyed the deep trust of the Shocker Chief.

With this person's recommendation, one has basically already stepped halfway into the door of success. If he still can't get a high-ranking position, it can only mean that he is a hopeless case.

"It's good that you have that confidence." Shen Yun calmly sipped his tea.

Cerberus II is the strongest undead creature, capable of overwhelming four knights with sheer power.

Although it was ultimately destroyed by the combined forces of the Emperor Sword and Wild Kalis, this did not diminish its immense power.

"Doctor, it's almost time. You should leave now," Saeko Kageyama reminded her, glancing at the time on her watch.

"I understand." Shen Yun nodded, then looked at Tianwanglu Boshi and said, "I have some things to take care of. Please make yourself at home."

After saying that, Shen Yun took A2 and left the manor, heading to the Shocker headquarters.

As the pinnacle of Shocker's cyborgs, Kamen Rider 1 and 2 are subjected to brainwashing every few years to prevent them from regaining their self-awareness. (This is considered a plot hole in Ebisu Village where the child is unwound from Kamen Rider 1 and 2's brainwashing.)

"Doctor." A middle-aged researcher wearing a white lab coat and glasses bowed his head and said when he saw Shen Yun.

"How is the situation?" Shen Yun nodded and asked.

"They show no signs of regaining self-awareness," the middle-aged researcher replied.

"Prepare for brainwashing surgery."

"Yes!" The middle-aged researcher nodded and immediately began preparations for the brainwashing operation.

Shen Yun glanced at the man out of the corner of his eye and noticed a scar on the back of his hand.

"This scar..." Upon seeing the scar, Shen Yun suddenly recalled some plot details.

Shen Yun narrowed his eyes slightly. If he wasn't mistaken, this middle-aged man was most likely the child named Naoki who had stayed in 1971.

Unexpectedly, he was the researcher in charge of brainwashing Number 1 and Number 2, which explains why he was able to undo the brainwashing of Number 1 and Number 2.

However, he also left a backup plan during the brainwashing process, which would allow him to undo the brainwashing of Number 1 and Number 2 at any time.

"I don't think anything too serious will happen in the remaining eight years, so let's just unwrap their brainwashing." After a moment's thought, Shen Yun decided to unwrap the brainwashing of Number 1 and Number 2.

Of course, the task of breaking the brainwashing of Number 1 and Number 2 cannot be done by him personally; it can only be accomplished through the help of the person in front of him.

Before performing the brainwashing operation, Shen Yun looked at Naoki, who was his assistant, and asked, "Your name is Naoki, right?"

Naoki hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes."

"I've investigated your records and discovered some interesting things. It seems like you suddenly appeared 32 years ago. Not only is your birthplace unknown, but there's no information about anything before that. It's as if you appeared out of thin air," Shen Yun said slowly.

Upon hearing this, Naoki broke out in a cold sweat.

Before he could explain, Shen Yun continued, "32 years ago, a group of people traveled from the future on a time train. Among them was a child who stayed in 1971, and his name happened to be Naoki."

"It might just be a coincidence," Naoki said.

"Is the scar on the back of your hand also a coincidence?" Shen Yun asked, pointing to the scar on the back of his hand.

Naoki glanced at the scar on the back of his hand and gave a wry smile. He never expected that the scar from his childhood would expose him.

"That's right, it was indeed me who stayed behind back then," Naoki frankly admitted.

"Aren't you afraid I'll have you arrested?" Shen Yun asked with interest.

"Since you know my identity but haven't revealed it, it's clear that I still have some use to you," Naoki replied.

Although his identity was exposed by Shen Yun, Shen Yun did not immediately call for people to arrest him, which must have been for ulterior motives.

"Smart." Shen Yun smiled faintly and said, "I know your purpose in infiltrating Shocker is to break the brainwashing of Number 1 and Number 2. Not only will I not stop you, but I will also help you and teach you how to break their brainwashing."

"Why?" Naoki was taken aback and asked, puzzled.

Shen Yun didn't answer, but simply said, "When I was brainwashing Number 1 and Number 2, I left a backdoor so I could undo the brainwashing at any time. Now, I'll teach you how to use this backdoor. Watch carefully and learn well."

Shen Yun's words made Naoki's expression turn serious, and he began to seriously study the method that Shen Yun had taught him.

As for whether Shen Yun was lying to him, he didn't think about it.

Because there's nothing to fool him about.

Shen Yun only needs his secrets to be exposed, and then he will be executed by Shuka.

Why go through all that trouble?

After Shen Yun taught Naoki how to use the backdoor, he said nothing more and silently brainwashed Number 1 and Number 2.

After completing the brainwashing, Naoki looked at Shen Yun and couldn't help but ask, "Why did you help me?"

"Help you? I'm just helping myself." Shen Yun glanced at Naoki and said calmly.

Before leaving, Shen Yun suddenly turned around and said to Naoki, "By the way, don't tell anyone about me, don't tell anyone at all."

"I see."

"Good to know." Shen Yun nodded and turned to leave.

Watching Shen Yun's departing figure, Naoki opened his mouth, also somewhat confused as to whether this devilish doctor was a good person or a bad person.

If you call him a good person, he's actually the evil scientist at Shocker, who has transformed countless people into wicked monsters.

However, while he may be considered a bad person, the ordinary people under his rule actually lived the best lives. He also protected many people during the invasion of the Fog Kingdom and resolved the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons caused by the Great Serpent phenomenon.

"He really is an unpredictable person." Naoki shook his head and used the method Shen Yun taught him to break the brainwashing of Number 1 and Number 2.

在1号、2号的洗脑被解除后的迷茫之际，直树也向1号、2号表明了身份，并向他们讲述了这些年发生的事情，并请求1号、2号继续装作被洗脑的样子。

Those number 1 and 2, who had been freed from brainwashing, readily agreed and decided to cooperate with Shocker's performance.

……

2011 years.

Eight years have passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, with Shen Yun's recommendation, Tennoji Hiroshi was successfully promoted to the new head of the Shocker.

After that, the appearance of the Otherworldly Gods caused some trouble.

But these Otherworldly beings didn't cause trouble for long. Their leader was subdued by the Shocker leader and became part of Shocker.

Shen Yun also obtained the power of the Otherworldly Demon God—a method to convert the spiritual energy called "spiritual energy," which exists in both humans and the Otherworldly Demon God, into free energy.

Deland Castle.

"Doctor, the time for the Hughes United Nations meeting is approaching," A2 reminded him.

"I understand, let's go." Shen Yun closed the book in her hand and then let out a soft breath.

This distorted timeline will soon be corrected.

What should he do next?
