Special effects: Starting with Ultraman Tiga

Chapter 388 The Priest and His Disciple Meet Again - Super Shocker

"Philip, begin the search."

"Hmm." Philip nodded, closed the wordless book in his hand, closed his eyes, opened his arms, and entered the Earth Library.

Inside the Earth Library, endless, vast bookshelves were neatly arranged before Philip's eyes.

"What we need to search for is the criminal's true identity. The keywords are: death, resurrection, and Erika Mutsuki." Shotaro Sato stood beside Philip, providing him with the keywords.

Despite the filtering process using three keywords, there are still many bookshelves in the Earth Library.

"These have actually been searched once already, but the number of books can't be reduced any further," Philip said, looking at the remaining bookshelves, which were still countless.

Looking at the case files of similar cases provided by the information broker and the police, Shotaro Zuo lightly stroked the brim of his hat with his index finger and said, "Philip, add the keyword, 19th."

With the appearance of this keyword, the countless bookshelves and books that were originally there disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving only a book called "The Priest".

Philip walked over, took the book from the shelf, and quickly flipped through it.

After finishing the book, Philip also left the Earth Library and looked at Shotaro, saying, "It's a book called 'The Priest.' I found out about a celebrity social event called 'The Dark and Silence Society,' hosted by a certain priest. It's held on the 19th of every month."

"Father? Is that the guy?" Shotaro immediately recalled the priest he had seen at the cemetery earlier that day.

"If it's him, then it makes sense."

"Beep beep beep."

Just then, Shotaro's stag beetle cell phone suddenly rang.

Upon hearing the phone ring, Shotaro quickly pulled his stag beetle-shaped phone from his pocket, answered it, and asked, "Akiko, what's wrong?"

"Shotaro-kun, I just saw a monster that looked like the Grim Reaper fly into Ms. Ansami's yard," Akiko Narumi whispered, crouching in the green belt outside.

"Huh? I was saying you..."

"I'll broadcast it to you right now," said Akiko Narumi, not giving Shotaro Hidari a chance to reprimand her.

After saying that, Akiko Narumi held the phone between her cheek and shoulder, reached into her bag and took out the Bat Camera, then inserted the simulacrum into the Bat Camera.

"Bat!"

The bat camera immediately spread its wings, gently flapped them, and flew into the sky to take pictures of the scene in the yard.

"Wow, as expected of Aki-chan, your efficiency is as amazing as ever," Philip said with a smile.

"Why is it that I only act so quickly at times like this?" Shotaro Satoshi said with a headache as he held the stag beetle phone horizontally in front of him.

The stag beetle phone screen also displayed images captured by a bat camera.

In the courtyard of a villa, a terrifying monster draped in tattered burlap and with four skulls lined up from top to bottom floated in mid-air, speaking to Mutsuki Ansami inside the villa.

"So it really was the dopant that was behind this." Shotaro saw the dopant that looked like the Grim Reaper, turned to Philip, and said, "Let's go, partner."

"Hmm." Philip nodded and started the Cyclone Sprinter.

Inside the courtyard.

"Those detectives didn't come back, did they?" Death Hybrid asked, looking at Mutsuki Ansami inside the villa.

"You really...you really can let me live with my sister again, right..." Mutsuki Ansami asked.

"That's right. Of course, you must also accept the conditions I propose," the Death Hybrid chuckled.

As for the conditions, they were naturally to hand over all the money he earned to him so that he could live a luxurious life in high society.

"I will do as you say."

"Very well, only I can help you." The Death Doppelganger nodded and was about to leave when a flash of light in the darkness caught his attention.

He looked up and saw a bat-shaped camera flapping its wings, flying in mid-air and quietly taking pictures.

"Huh?" Seeing the bat-shaped camera flying in mid-air, he turned back to Mutsuki Ansami with some annoyance and said, "You lied to me?"

"I...I don't know. I've already done what you said." Mutsuki Ansami shook her head, somewhat frightened.

Seeing Mutsuki Ansami's terrified expression, the Death Admixture didn't seem to be lying.

It seems those detectives haven't given up, but have been secretly monitoring this place all along. I've been caught red-handed just now.

"Hmph, detective..." The Death Hybrid snorted coldly and flew towards the bat camera in the air.

As if realizing it had been discovered, the bat camera flapped its wings, turned around, and flew back into Akiko Narumi's hand.

Seeing the Death Doppelganger staring at her, Akiko Narumi hid the Bat Camera behind her back and greeted him with a smile, "Hello, I'm just passing by, I'll be on my way soon."

Before she finished speaking, Akiko Narumi turned and ran away at top speed.

"Don't even think about running!" The Death Doppelganger was stunned for a moment when it saw Akiko Narumi running away, and then immediately gave chase.

"When are you guys going to get there? Your director is about to be caught by this skeleton monster!" Akiko Narumi looked back at the Death Doppelganger that was closing in, and shouted into her phone.

"We've arrived!" Shotaro's voice came through the phone.

The next moment, the Cyclone Sprinter burst out from the side road and drifted to block the Death Doppelganger.

The Boomerang opened its fuselage to the sides, and Shotaro and Philip jumped off, saying, "That's enough. Robert Shijima!"

"You actually managed to see through my true form. I really underestimated you detectives. But even if you do see through my true form, what can you do to me?" The Death Hybrid sneered, not denying its identity.

"Philip, transform," said Shotaro Hidari, taking out the W Driver and the Ace Memory.

"Hmm," Philip replied, taking out the Gale Memory.

"Cyclone!"

"Joker!"

"Hen Shin!" Shotaro and Philip waved to their left and right sides respectively, saying in unison.

"Cyclone! Joker!"

Green and purple lightning bolts radiated from the center of the W Driver, and green and black armor fragments, accompanied by howling winds, covered Shotaro Hidari's body.

Philip's unconscious body fell to the side, where he was expertly caught in Narumi Akiko's arms.

W raised his right arm, then turned his body, flicked his left arm behind him, and then quickly raised it again, pointing at the Death Hybrid not far away, saying, "Hey, come and count your sins."

"Oh, Kamen Rider?" The Death Doppelganger let out a strange laugh upon seeing Kamen Rider W, saying, "You guys probably can't handle this man, can you?"

"Da da da".

In the darkness, the soft clatter of leather shoes on the ground drifted slowly by.

A man in a white suit and white hat, with a stern face, walked slowly towards them.

"Oya-san? Why?" Shotaro was also stunned when he saw Narumi Shokichi walking slowly towards him.

Hasn't Ou Yasan already recalled his memories? Why then does he still want to be their enemy?

"Could it be... Dad?" Akiko Narumi, who was dragging Philip's body, froze on the spot when she saw the figure walking slowly towards her.

"Shotaro, calm down. As long as you defeat Narumi Shokichi, you can rescue him from the clutches of Zaibatsu X," Philip said quickly.

Such a low-probability event is already a miracle if it happens once; how could it possibly happen a second time?

"Huh? What are you guys talking about?" Akiko Narumi asked, looking at W with confusion.

……

That night.

As usual, Koei Jiro arrived at a noodle stall tucked away deep in an alley and asked, "Has Xiao Liu come?"

Upon lifting the noren curtain hanging over the noodle stall and seeing the empty seats, Koeijiro said with some disappointment, "Ah, no one's here."

"I've been waiting for you for a long time." The shopkeeper, wearing a brown knitted hat and black-rimmed glasses, said to Koeijiro.

"Huh?"

"Please." The shopkeeper placed a plate of dried squid and a bottle of beer on his table.

Koei Jiro looked at the dried squid and beer in front of him, a smile appearing on his face. He reached out and picked up the dried squid and beer, saying, "Dried squid and beer?"

Just as Kōei Jirō was about to eat some dried squid with his drinks, he suddenly realized something.

"Squid and beer?! Squid Demon! Could it be..." Kōei Jirō stared at the noodle stall owner in shock.

Narutaki gazed at Koeijiro with a smile.

"Ah!" Koeijiro threw the dried squid and beer on the table and backed away in fear.

The next moment, a black cloak with a red interior flew in from the sky and wrapped around Koeijiro's body.

"I am, Dr. Death!" Dr. Death slowly stood up, suddenly threw off his cloak, raised his little finger on his left hand, and said.

The word "Super" was written on the black nail of his left little finger.

"Then I am—Colonel Zor!" Narutaki took off his knitted hat and black-rimmed glasses, instantly changing into a German-style military uniform and a black eye patch. His single eye and mustache gave him a more ruthless look.

"Snapped!"

After saying that, Colonel Zor lashed the ground with his right whip.

Super Death Doctor and Colonel Zol walked together to the edge of the platform. Looking down at the monsters and Shocker skeletons gathering below, Super Death Doctor spread his arms and said, "Now, the great Great Shocker here is the resurrected Super Shocker!"

The leader, Shocker Bones, carrying a flag bearing the Super Shocker emblem, led a group of Shocker Bones and numerous monsters in a neat and orderly procession to stand before Super Death Doctor and Colonel Zol.

"Salute to the great Dr. Death and Colonel Zol!" The Bee Woman raised her rapier and said solemnly.

"Eee-!!!" The Shocker skeletons and many other monsters raised their right arms together.

"You wretch, your clothes are disheveled!" Colonel Zol walked down the stairs, pointed at a Shokabone in the ranks with his whip, walked up to the Shokabone, and struck him on the shoulder with the whip, saying.

"Eh? Ee-ee..." Upon hearing this, the Shocker Bone quickly lowered his head and straightened his uniform.

Seeing this, the other skeletons and strange people quickly checked whether their clothes were neat and tidy.

"Being disheveled is the same as being lax in one's mind! After I became a cadre, I demanded that one's mind be absolutely never lax!" Colonel Zor said.

"Ee!" Shocker Bone and the monsters all raised their right arms again.

Super Death Doctor followed Colonel Zol down from the platform, sneering, "Thanks to Decade, there are very few Knights left. Once the Ultimate Lifeform is resurrected..."

At this point, Dr. Super Death suddenly snapped his fingers, and the Bee Woman standing in the queue suddenly spun and crashed into Dr. Super Death's arms. Dr. Super Death embraced her and said, "The world... is now ours for the taking!"

"Hehe~" Upon hearing this, the Bee Girl chuckled coquettishly, her appearance quite alluring. (The actress playing the Bee Girl is Oikawa Oona, who previously played the Water Minister of the Flame God Squad, Kegar Reshia. She had a career in the sea in her early years, so she can be considered a mentor to some.)

"Oh!" Shocker Bones and the monsters raised their right arms again and shouted in unison.

"Hahaha!" Super Death Doctor and Colonel Zol also burst into unrestrained laughter.

After laughing, Dr. Super Death looked at Colonel Zol and said, "Before that, we need to find someone else."

"You mean..." Colonel Zor asked in surprise.

"Not bad." Dr. Super Death nodded.

"Alright, let's go then," Colonel Zor said.

As they spoke, an aurora-like curtain shimmering with water appeared before them. Super Death Doctor and Colonel Zol exchanged a glance and then stepped inside.

The New Heisei World.

"Huh? Eliminate the remnants of the Great Shocker? You guys are serious?" Shen Yun asked, looking at the Super Death Doctor and Colonel Zol with a strange expression.

"Of course, although the Dai-Shocker has been destroyed, many remnants of the Dai-Shocker are scattered in various worlds, disrupting the peace of these worlds. We have gathered all these remnants together, and as long as we can eliminate them all at once, then all the parallel worlds can be restored to peace," Narutaki explained.

"That's right." Dr. Super Death nodded. (This is the Decade arc written by Yonemura; the plot is too confusing, and I don't know how to explain it, so I've just set it up like this.)

"If it's just about helping you eliminate the remnants of the Dai-Shockers, I can agree," Shen Yun replied after thinking for a moment.

"Then it's settled. You absolutely have to be there tomorrow," Narutaki said.

"Tomorrow..." Shen Yun hesitated upon hearing this, for he had a good show to watch tomorrow, a master and disciple fighting each other.

At that moment, A2 suddenly leaned close to Shen Yun's ear and whispered a few words.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yun smiled and said, "No problem, I will definitely be there tomorrow."

This is probably the butterfly effect he caused; I never expected such a good show to happen tonight.

I'll be taking a day off tomorrow, but I'll still update with a team-themed side story as usual.
