Special effects: Starting with Ultraman Tiga

Chapter 387 The Mastermind Meets Tsukasa Kadoya Again

"This city is my backyard, so just wait patiently." Shotaro put a black hat on his head and looked at Mutsuki Ansami sitting on the sofa.

After saying that, Shotaro called to Akiko Narumi and said, "Akiko, let's go!"

"We'll help too!" the intelligence agency volunteered.

"Huh?" Shotaro looked at them in surprise.

"If we can finish the commission quickly, we can continue having the party," Queen said with a smile.

"That's right." Little Christmas nodded.

"Well, this is also so that I can get along well with Philip. Don't overthink it, Xiao Xiang," Elizabeth said with a smile.

"Thank you for your help." Shotaro Sato adjusted his hat and said with a smile.

After leaving the Narumi Detective Agency, the group split into four groups, each heading in a different direction to gather information.

Shotaro and Akiko Narumi arrived near the port. If ghosts really exist, Ansami's older sister, who died in a shipwreck, might appear on the beach. The port workers might have seen her.

"Ms. Ansami, who frequently tops the record sales charts, didn't give up after such a tragedy. Instead, she continued to create songs on her own. I want to investigate the true identity of the ghost he witnessed. It would be better if it was someone who looked similar or something else," Shotaro thought to himself.

"However, the result was unexpected."

Shotaro received a message from Queen and looked at the same rumors of the dead coming back to life, his expression becoming somewhat solemn.

Clearly, this is not a normal phenomenon and is very likely caused by dopants.

Inside the convenience store, Akiko Narumi kept waving at Shotaro Hidari, saying, "Hey, come here!"

Akiko Narumi grabbed Shotaro's arm and pulled him in front of the convenience store clerk, saying, "Please say it to this person again."

The convenience store clerk nodded and repeated what he had said before.

After leaving the convenience store, Shotaro immediately called Philip and told him what had happened.

"The dead have come back to life?"

"That's right, the same rumors are circulating in many places now, saying that the dead have appeared in front of their families." Shotaro Sato pushed away Akiko Narumi who was leaning in and said.

"So, is Mutsuki Ansami's older sister like that too?" Philip asked.

"That's possible."

"Don't talk nonsense. I've looked up information about the accident, and the chances of anyone surviving are almost zero. The dead can't be brought back to life," Philip said.

"It's not impossible, is it? Oya-san, he..." Shotaro glanced at Akiko Narumi, who had been trying to eavesdrop, and said in a low voice.

"It's pointless. The Foundation X resurrected Narumi Sokichi so that he could use him against us. What's the point of resurrecting these people?" Philip retorted.

"That's true, but I'm still a little bothered by it," said Shotaro, gently touching the brim of his hat.

"Is this your unique intuition?" Philip chuckled.

"I've heard that the dead are most likely to return to their spirits in places connected to them. I'll go investigate." Shotaro hung up the phone and headed straight for the church.

church.

Robert Shijima was sweeping the churchyard with a broom. Looking at the clean cemetery, he wiped the sweat from his brow and sighed in the bright sunshine, "Only those who have lost their freedom know how precious it is."

Looking back on those days, working day and night like a laborer in an underground research base.

Robert Shijima couldn't help but sigh; the past was too painful to recall.

a week ago.

Inside the underground research base of Foundation X.

Through the tireless efforts of the virtual dopant, which mimics the death dopant, in providing blank memory samples with their abilities removed day and night, Shen Yun and Isaka Shinkuro also learned how to remove the Earth's memories sealed within the memory by disassembling and analyzing these blank memory samples with their abilities removed.

Although it can currently only eliminate the Gaia Memory it uses, that is enough.

We can proceed to the next step of the experiment.

"Alright, you can go now." Shen Yun waved his hand and said to the virtual dopant.

"I can go now? Really?" The virtual dopant was also stunned upon hearing this and asked in disbelief.

"You can stay if you don't want to leave," Shen Yun said, glancing at the virtual dopant.

"I'm leaving right away," the virtual dopant said excitedly.

Finally, I can leave this awful place.

"Send him back," Shen Yun said, turning to A2.

"Yes." A2 nodded, and with a wave of his hand, an aurora-like curtain shimmering with water appeared in front of them.

"By the way, your ability is very useful. I might come looking for you again in the future. Don't even think about running away. No matter where you run, I will find you." Shen Yun slapped his forehead and looked at the excited virtual dopant, warning him.

"I...I understand..." Upon hearing this, the virtual dopant's excitement vanished instantly, and it responded listlessly, looking like a wilted eggplant.

"Alright, take him back." Shen Yun looked at A2 again and said.

Upon hearing this, A2 kicked the virtual dopant in the butt, sending it flying into the Aurora Veil. Then, with a wave of its hand, it retracted the Aurora Veil.

The virtual dopant was kicked out of the aurora curtain, fell headfirst to the ground, and landed face-first in the mud.

"Damn it..." Robert Shijima gritted his teeth as he recalled these scenes.

If he weren't outmatched, he would have turned hostile long ago.

Although he is now free, he will still be forced to do hard labor as long as the other party still needs his skills.

"Sigh, when will this ever end?"

Just then, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of a man and a woman walking towards him.

Upon seeing the man and woman, Robert Shijima felt a pang of anxiety and had an urge to turn and run.

After his previous kidnapping, he now experiences PTSD whenever he sees a man and a woman together.

Robert Shijima resisted the urge to turn and run away, and instead sized up the man and woman who were walking towards him.

The man in the two men was wearing a black hat, a black cotton-padded jacket over a plaid shirt, and looked somewhat silly, like a fool.

The other woman wore a light blue coat with a plaid thermal vest over it, and carried a colorful bag. She had a youthful face and a petite figure, and looked like a middle school girl.

"These two should be fine." Robert Shijima breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled and went to greet them, saying, "Are you here to pay respects at the graves, or to pray to God?"

"Ah! Well, we're here to visit the graves." Upon hearing this, Shotaro Sakata scratched his head and replied.

"Please follow me." Robert Shijima led Shotaro Hidari and Akiko Narumi to the cemetery.

"Whose grave are you two planning to visit?" Robert Shijima asked with a smile, looking at Shotaro Hidari and Akiko Narumi.

"Erika Mutsuki." Shotaro Zuo said.

"Oh, you two are their fans, aren't you?" Robert Shijima asked.

I guess so.

Robert Shijima nodded and led Shotaro Hidari and Akiko Narumi to the cemetery. Pointing to one of the tombstones, he said, "This is Erika Mutsuki's grave."

Shotaro and Akiko Narumi also came to Erika Mutsuki's tombstone and placed a white flower on it as a tribute.

Although half a year has passed, flowers and records from fans and family members are still placed next to Erika Mutsuki's tombstone.

"This is a tombstone erected by her family; there are no remains beneath it," Robert Shijima said with a smile, standing to the side.

"Since there's no corpse, it couldn't have been resurrected from here, right?" Akiko Narumi whispered, leaning close to Shotaro Hidari.

"I've heard rumors of the dead coming back to life too." Robert Shijima's lips curled into a mocking smile. "It's really unsettling. Death, what a solemn moment for a person!"

"That's right!" Shotaro Zuo responded with an awkward laugh, bowing slightly as he said, "Excuse me, I'm sorry to bother you."

With that, she pulled on the hat of Narumi Akiko's vest and left the cemetery.

Robert Shijima watched as Shotaro Sakai and Akiko Narumi left the cemetery, a mocking smile playing on his lips.

"A detective?"

After leaving the cemetery, Shotaro and Akiko Narumi received a phone call from Ansami Mutsuki.

"Huh? You want to cancel the commission?!" Akiko Narumi exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, thank you so much. I'll pay the commission fee as usual. That's all." Mutsuki Ansami said and then hung up the phone.

Hearing the phone call end, Akiko Narumi's face suddenly darkened. She put away her phone and began to rage.

"They suddenly canceled the commission? Are you kidding me!" Narumi Akiko took small, quick steps, intending to go find Mutsuki Ansami to get an explanation.

Seeing Narumi Akiko suddenly go berserk, Shotaro quickly grabbed his hat and chased after her, grabbing her shoulder to stop her.

"Calm down!"

"I can't accept this. I need to have a serious talk with Ms. Ansami," Akiko Narumi said angrily.

"I told you to calm down!" Shotaro said helplessly, "Although Ms. Ansami canceled the commission, we can still continue our investigation in secret. Moreover, I suspect that Ms. Ansami's cancellation of the commission is also related to the mastermind behind this resurrection incident."

"Oh right." Akiko Narumi also looked enlightened, then asked with a curious expression, "But, the mastermind behind it all?"

"Don't you think this is too deliberate? We've only just started our investigation, and Ms. Ansami suddenly canceled the commission. It must be that the mastermind behind this ability to bring the dead back to life did something," Shotaro Hidari said, touching the brim of his hat.

"I see. Then let's go find Ms. Ansami now." Akiko Narumi nodded as if she had just realized something.

"Hey!" Shotaro quickly pulled on the hat of Akiko Narumi's vest, saying, "If you go to see Ms. Ansami now, won't you be alerting her?"

"What should we do then?"

"Let's get information about those rumors of the dead coming back to life from Uncle Ren first, and then make a plan," Shotaro Zuo replied after thinking for a moment.

……

A few days ago, in a certain world.

Tsukasa Kadoya sat in front of the fire, flipping through the Rider cards in his hand.

Each knight card represents the elimination of a knight.

By now, he has destroyed most of the knights, leaving only a small number of them alive.

"Shika-san, you've still chosen this path." Shen Yun placed a can of beer next to Kadoya Tsukasa and said.

"You said it yourself, didn't you? If you want to save the world, this is the only way." Tsukasa Kadoya replied calmly.

After eliminating so many knights, Tsukasa Kadoya knew in his heart that this was indeed the only way to save the world.

Even after Apollo Guest was destroyed by him, the merging of the worlds did not stop.

The answer is self-evident: it was he who brought about the fusion of the world.

Only when he dies will the fusion of the world cease.

"You'll die," Shen Yun said, looking at Kadoya Tsukasa.

"Bearing everything and silently saving the world, this ending isn't bad for me either," Tsukasa Kadoya said frankly.

"Alright, let me take a picture of the great hero who saved the world, so that those you saved won't forget what you look like." Shen Yun took out a camera and said with a smile.

"what ever."

"Come on, give me a smile," Shen Yun said, pointing the camera lens at Tsukasa Kadoya.

Tsukasa Kadoya glanced at Shen Yun, his face expressionless.

Of course, Shen Yun didn't expect Kadoya Tsukasa to be able to laugh. After pointing the camera at Kadoya Tsukasa's sour face, he pressed the shutter.

"Snap!"

With the clicks of the shutter, Shen Yun took several photos of Tsukasa Kadoya.

"Alright, I hope we'll meet again someday." Shen Yun placed some food and drinks he had bought next to Kadoya Tsukasa, then patted his bottom and turned to leave.

"This guy..." Tsukasa Kadoya glanced at the food and drinks Shen Yun had placed beside him, a smile playing on his lips.

Although he was an evil scientist, he was indeed one of his few friends.

After leaving, Shen Yun also found the Light Photo Studio in another world.

Seeing Hikari Natsumi sleeping on the counter, Shen Yun didn't disturb her. He simply placed the camera with Tsukasa Kadoya's photo on the counter and then left Hikari Photo Studio.

"Hmm? Were there any guests here just now?" As if he had heard some noise, Koei Jiro poked his head out of the kitchen, looked around, and then went back inside after finding nothing unusual.

Outside the photo studio.

"Let's go back too," Shen Yun said with a smile, looking at A2 waiting outside the door.

This was the last thing he did for Tsukasa Kadoya, so it was a fitting end to what he started.

"Yes." A2 nodded, raised her arm slightly, and an aurora curtain shimmering with water appeared before them, quickly engulfing the two of them.

……

On Christmas Eve, inside the Narumi Detective Agency.

Shotaro Sato handed the documents that Mikio Renno had given him to Philip, saying, "Philip, begin the search."
