Special effects: Starting with Ultraman Tiga

Chapter 342 Saeko Sonosaki's Offensive: Shen Yun's Plans

Fengdu Port.

Under the cover of night, Shotaro Hidari sneaked into the port with his suitcase.

After making inquiries from various sources and gleaning clues from the detective techniques he learned from Narumi Shokichi, Shotaro deduced that this port was the most likely place for Narumi Shokichi to be.

"That ship... Oyasan might be on it." Shotaro hid behind the shipping container, gazing at the cargo ship docked in the harbor by the moonlight.

One after another, cloaked transport vehicles, under the direction of a group of men in black, drove orderly onto the cargo ship.

"These guys are not ordinary people..." Shotaro Zuo hid in the shadows of the shipping container, patiently observing his surroundings.

"These transport trucks seem to be filled with daily necessities..." Through observation, Shotaro Sato discovered that the trucks were indeed filled with daily necessities.

"Where are they going to transport all these supplies?" Shotaro asked, full of doubt.

However, seeing that the entire convoy of transport vehicles was about to board the ship, Shotaro didn't have time to think too much. Taking advantage of the black-clad guards' inattention, he quickly slipped under the last transport vehicle, hooked onto the chassis, and followed the transport vehicle onto the cargo ship.

The transport vehicle slowly started moving and drove into the cargo ship's hold.

Shotaro Satoshi sneaked into the cargo ship without any major incident.

When the transport truck stopped, Shotaro did not rush to leave. Instead, he lay under the truck and waited quietly until the driver left before carefully climbing out from under the truck. He then avoided the patrolling men in black and made his way to the cargo ship.

By this time, the cargo ship had already completed more than half of its journey.

Shotaro ran along the cargo ship's passageway searching for Narumi Shokichi's whereabouts. Suddenly, through the darkness and the thin mist on the sea, he saw a brightly lit island not far away.

"What a tiny island... Is that our destination? Are all these supplies going to be transported to this island? What's on this island?"

More and more doubts lingered in Shotaro's mind.

At this moment, the cargo ship broke through the thin fog on the sea and arrived at the small island shrouded in fog.

A skyscraper appeared in front of Shotaro Sato.

Shotaro's mouth dropped open as he stared at the skyscraper that appeared before him, and he involuntarily took a step back.

It was this step back that caused Shotaro's heel to slam into the hollow iron pipe, making a crisp thud that was particularly noticeable on the quiet sea.

"Who's there!" The sharp sound also attracted the attention of the men in black patrolling the cargo ship's walkway.

With the thin mist gone, they could see Shotaro's figure.

"Oh no!" Shotaro's expression changed. Just as he was about to run away, a hand suddenly covered his mouth and pulled him into a narrow crevice.

Soon, two men in black ran past them.

Seeing the two men in black leave, Narumi Shokichi finally released his hand from covering Shotaro's mouth.

Shotaro quickly turned around, lowered his voice, and called out, "Oya-san!"

Narumi Shokichi looked down at Sashoutaro and asked, "Why are you here?"

Shotaro looked at Narumi Shokichi, unsure how to respond.

However, when Narumi Shokichi saw the briefcase in Sashoutaro's arms, he immediately understood and said, "You're going to give this to me?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Oya. A female customer called and said she might be in danger without you, so I followed your trail." Shotaro bowed his head in apology.

That guy Wen Yin...

Narumi Shokichi frowned, but didn't blame Shotaro Sasaki: "You half-baked detective, but you've learned detective techniques pretty quickly."

After saying that, Narumi Shokichi also sighed softly and said, "There's nothing we can do about it, it's fate..."

"Huh?"

Narumi Shokichi looked down at Shotaro and said, "Listen carefully, Shotaro. It's too late to turn back now. Listen carefully."

As he spoke, Narumi Shokichi pointed to the skyscrapers on the island and said, "That's hell."

"hell……"

"There's a boy being imprisoned there. Our mission is to rescue him," said Narumi Shokichi.

Shotaro looked at the skyscraper, which was dozens of stories high, with a look of astonishment on his face.

Inside the building, the hatch of a device opened, and Sonozaki Raito, who had just undergone another brainwashing session, sat up from the device.

"Are you... awake?" A projection screen appeared in front of Sonozaki, showing Sonozaki Ryubei holding Mick.

"Who...are you?" Sonozaki asked, looking at Sonozaki Ryubei on the screen with a puzzled expression.

Having been rebrainwashed, Sonozaki Raito no longer remembers who the person in front of him is.

"Haha, don't worry about that." Sonozaki Ryubei laughed, looking at the newcomer, and opened her arms, saying, "Come on, let's begin our research. You were born to learn all the knowledge on Earth."

"Learn all knowledge? Yes. This is my mission, and my only reason for living," Sonozaki Raito muttered to herself.

"That's right. You don't need to think about who you are. This facility was built for you, your paradise. Just enjoy it." After saying this, Sonozaki Ryubei stroked Mick while looking at the newcomer, Sonozaki, and asked, "So, are you ready?"

"No problem." Sonozaki staggered up from the cabin, like a walking corpse, and walked in a daze toward the place where the Gaia Memory was made.

Inside the building, in a slightly luxurious lounge.

Shen Yun sat on the sofa, completely engrossed in it.

Watching this scene, Shen Yun couldn't help but click his tongue and say, "To actually brainwash one's own young son into using him as a tool, Ryūbei-san is truly cruel. It's giving me the creeps."

"That's just the kind of person my father is." Saeko Sonozaki held a bottle of champagne, walked gracefully to Shen Yun, bent down, and personally poured him a glass of champagne.

Because they were so close, Shen Yun could even smell the faint fragrance emanating from Sonozaki Saeko.

"Thank you," Shen Yun said, then looked straight ahead at the monitor in the lounge.

Now, if he just tilts his gaze slightly upwards, he can see the alluring cleavage of Sonozaki Saeko.

All I can say is that they are wealthy and generous.

Of course, given Sonosaki Saeko's reputation for bringing bad luck to her husbands, Shen Yun didn't dare to get too close to her.

If I were to be killed by Sonosaki Saeko and this learning simulation were to end prematurely, that would be truly unfortunate.

As for why he's here...

After attending a dinner hosted by Sonozaki Ryuhei, he expressed his desire to visit the factory at the museum that manufactures Gaia memory.

Unable to discern Shen Yun's intentions, Sonozaki Ryubei agreed after some deliberation, and had Sonozaki Saeko accompany him.

Saeko Sonozaki was both surprised and delighted by Rubei Sonozaki's arrangement, and immediately agreed.

She originally wanted to get to know Shen Yun better, and ideally gain his support so that she could overthrow the reign of the fearful emperor.

Sonozaki Ryubei had put Sonozaki Saeko in charge of the museum's work a long time ago. Although Sonozaki Saeko had been focused on running the family business, she was unwilling to live in her father's shadow and had long wanted to overthrow Ryubei's rule and become the head of the Sonozaki family herself.

And now, she sees an opportunity coming.

Today, the X conglomerate, which has been investing in the museum, has actually sent people to assist the Sonozaki family.

Although the other party said that they were only there to help the museum deal with Kamen Rider Skull and would not interfere in the internal affairs of the Sonozaki family.

However, having run the family business for so many years, Saeko Sonozaki has a keen political sense.

In Sonosaki Saeko's view, this is a signal sent by Foundation X.

That is, his own father may have lost the trust of the X Foundation!

If his father hadn't lost the trust of Foundation X, why would Foundation X send someone to assist the museum alone?

Why send someone now of all these years when no one has been sent before?

Saeko Sonozaki felt that this was an opportunity, an opportunity to overthrow the tyrannical rule of the fearful emperor.

Although she didn't have many cards in her hand.

But for a beautiful and high-status woman, her body is her biggest asset.

Of course, if Shen Yun knew what Sonozaki Saeko was thinking, he would definitely be speechless.

To be honest, he really didn't think that much about it.

Putting Sudo Kirihiko in the museum was just for fun.

Therefore, Shen Yun found Sonozaki Saeko's advances towards him quite inexplicable.

Sudo Kirihiko sat on the other side of the lounge, watching Sonozaki Saeko's attitude towards Shen Yun, and felt a strange sense of envy.

For Sonozaki Saeko, while Sudo Kirihiko has some value now, he is not quite up to par with Shen Yun, the behind-the-scenes boss of Zaibatsu X.

After pouring Shen Yun a glass of champagne, Saeko Sonozaki sat down next to him.

She was very close, almost pressed against Shen Yun.

"Father has always been a biased person. To him, this person is just a tool for making memory. Of course, I'm not much better than this person. Although I am the eldest daughter of the Sonozaki family, to him, I am just a tool to help him run the family business. He assigns me all the dirty and hard work. The only person Father truly favors is Wakana." Sonozaki Saeko became more and more angry as she spoke, and then drank the entire glass of champagne in one gulp.

Saeko Sonozaki tilted her head slightly, revealing her slender, snow-white neck, which looked very alluring.

"It seems that Miss Saeko has a lot of grievances against Ryubei-san." Shen Yun glanced at Sonozaki Saeko, who was pressed against him, and couldn't help but feel a little strange that she had suddenly opened up to him.

However, when Shen Yun recalled the scene in the TV series where Sonozaki Saeko conspired with her second brother-in-law to overthrow the dictatorial rule of the terrifying emperor Sonozaki Ryubei, he understood.

Could this person be trying to gain his support through this means, and then naturally replace Sonozaki Ryubei as the head of the Sonozaki family?

Given Sonosaki Saeko's personality, this is highly likely.

"Anyone with such a biased father would feel resentful." Saeko Sonozaki put down her wine glass, her beautiful eyes glistening with a hint of moisture, her allure tinged with a touch of pitiful vulnerability.

"What is Miss Saeko trying to say by telling me all this? Please speak frankly," Shen Yun said calmly, unmoved.

"I want to replace my father as the museum's spokesperson and collaborate with Foundation X," Saeko Sonozaki said decisively.

"Oh? Why do you think I would abandon Sonozaki Ryuhei and cooperate with you instead?" Shen Yun asked curiously.

"Because of Mr. Sudo. Before today, you had never assigned any staff to the museum," Saeko Sonozaki replied.

"..." Sudo Kirihiko was also stunned upon hearing this.

How did this get involved with him out of nowhere?

Upon hearing Saeko Sonozaki's words, Shen Yun chuckled and couldn't help but praise her, "Miss Saeko's political acumen is truly remarkable."

This woman is somewhat clever, but not much.

It's no wonder that in the later stages of the TV series, she was tricked by Isaka Shinkuro and betrayed the Sonozaki family.

Of course, if Isaka Shinkurou really gets the Wind God Pteranodon Memory, he might actually be able to bring Sonozaki Rubei down.

"You're too kind."

"..."

I didn't praise you.

Shen Yun paused for a moment, then asked, "If I choose you, what benefits will I get?"

"The entire Sonozaki family," Sonozaki Saeko said without hesitation.

She knew very well that even if the X Foundation really acquired the Sonozaki family, it certainly wouldn't go to the trouble of sending people to manage it.

Ultimately, she will still take over the Sonozaki family.

"The entire Sonozaki family? Including you and your sister?" Shen Yun raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Of course, if you want to," Saeko Sonozaki said through gritted teeth.

She was going all out, since Wakana and she didn't get along anyway.

Moreover, she was also eager to see how pathetic Wakana looked when she fell into the mud.

As Sonozaki Saeko imagined that scene, a hint of pleasure flashed across her alluring face.

"Wow, that's making me a little tempted." Shen Yun looked at the look of pleasure on Sonosaki Saeko's face, picked up his wine glass and took a sip to calm his nerves.

Tsk tsk, this woman is really ruthless.

Indeed, never mess with a woman.

When someone gets truly ruthless, even men can't match them.

"If you want my support, you'll have to show your worth first, like the courage to stand up to your biased father. What do you think?" Shen Yun reached out and lifted Sonosaki Saeko's delicate chin, making her look at him, and chuckled.

"I will," Saeko Sonozaki said quickly, a hint of joy flashing in her eyes.

"Contact me when you're ready. I'll keep it a secret from your father," Shen Yun said with a faint smile as he released his grip.

"Then I wish us a pleasant collaboration." Saeko Sonozaki poured herself another glass of wine, raised it to clink glasses lightly, and then tilted her head back to drink the wine in one gulp.

Shen Yun smiled but did not reply.

He had his reasons for doing so.

As for Sudo Kirihiko, if the TV series' plot unfolds as it should, he will definitely switch from escaping the museum to assisting Kamen Rider W in dealing with the museum.

This way, the eldest brother-in-law can also be prevented from being killed by Sonozaki Saeko.

As for Isaka Shinkuro...

Although my second brother-in-law's behavior was abnormal and a bit naive, his understanding of the Gaia Memory was unique.

Shen Yun plans to recruit Isaka Shinkoro to assist in the research.

After all, the ability of my second brother-in-law to improve Gaia's memory is obvious to all.

Moreover, my brother-in-law has also devised a method to integrate the abilities of other memory entities, which is very helpful to his research.

It would be such a pity if my second brother-in-law were also killed by Sonosaki Saeko.
