Special effects: Starting with Ultraman Tiga

Chapter 407 Shroud's Admonition and Narumi Shokichi's Request

Within the data space of the limit memory.

Philip sat on the bulging data stream, his head drooping, seemingly still unconscious.

"Someone, someone!" Shroud's warm call roused Philip from his coma.

Philip opened his eyes, looked around at the unfamiliar environment filled with green data streams, and asked:

"Who's calling me?"

Philip stood up from the bulging data stream, looking at the unfamiliar surroundings with a sense of unease, and asked again, "Where am I?"

"This is inside the Limit Memory." The data streams in the data space formed Shroud's face, which appeared before Philip and answered Philip's question.

"Inside the memory?" Philip looked at Shroud, repeated the question with a puzzled expression, then lowered his head and touched his chest, exclaiming in surprise, "The injuries have all healed."

"You cannot die yet, whether for this planet or for me. You are irreplaceable." Shroud's true form appeared in the data space, slowly walking to Philip's side, and said.

"Are you Shroud?" Philip asked, looking at the masked woman wearing sunglasses.

"Thank you for saving me. But I have to go back right away! Skull alone can't fight that hybrid, Shotaro needs me!" Philip thanked him first, then said urgently.

You can't go.

"What?"

"Shotaro... that man is an ominous presence for you. You can no longer be with him," Shroud said.

Suddenly, the W driver appeared at Philip's waist.

"Shoutaro..."

"Someone, say goodbye to that man, otherwise..." Shroud's body transformed back into a stream of data, and he said, "Something terrible will happen."

"I have to go, my partner is in danger!" Philip said to Shroud with a determined look.

Shroud didn't say anything more, but simply transformed into a stream of data and dissipated into the data space of the Limit Memory.

……

Fengdu University.

"Whoa!" Shotaro cried out as he was thrown away by the Nightmare Doppelganger, then crashed to the ground and rolled around.

The Nightmare Mixture watched as Shotaro struggled to his feet on the ground, then slowly turned to face him, pointing the bird head on its left shoulder at Shotaro.

"Bang!"

A golden light bullet was fired from the beak on the left shoulder of the Nightmare Doppelganger and flew straight toward Shotaro Hidari.

Not far away, Narumi Shokichi, who had been silently watching Shotaro Hidari, frowned, took out the Lost Driver and placed it on his waist, then took off his hat and jumped down from the height.

"Hen Shin!"

"Skull!"

A flash of purple lightning followed, and countless fragments of armor covered Narumi Shokichi's body.

"Taku!" Skull landed from the air, punched the light bullet that was flying towards Shotaro, and then slowly put the hat he was holding in his left hand on his head.

"Oh my god!" Shotaro exclaimed in surprise when he saw Skull's back.

"Get out of the way and don't cause me any trouble," Skull said calmly, his back to Shotaro.

"Yes!" Shotaro put away the frog recorder and the bat camera, and quickly hid to the side, watching Skull and the Nightmare Dopant fight.

The Nightmare Hybrid looked at Skull, who had suddenly appeared before it, then turned to the side, and the bird head on its left shoulder spat out several more golden energy blasts, which crashed into Skull.

Skull pulled out the Skull Magnum from behind his back and pulled the trigger on the golden energy bullet flying towards him.

"Bang bang bang!"

Purple energy bullets shot out from the muzzle of the Skull Magnum, accurately hitting the energy balls fired by the Nightmare Dopant and shattering them all in mid-air.

The remaining light bullets struck the Nightmare Hybrid's chest one after another, scattering intense sparks.

The Nightmare Hybrid was immediately blasted away by the light bullet fired from the Skull Magnum and fell to the ground.

"Damn it!" Nightmare Doppelganger clutched its chest, which had been hit by the light bullet. Knowing it was no match for the opponent, Nightmare Doppelganger turned around and aimed the bird head on its left shoulder at Shotaro, who was hiding to the side.

"Bang!"

A golden energy blast shot out from the bird's beak and flew swiftly toward Shotaro, who was hiding behind a tree.

After firing the golden energy blast, the Nightmare Dopant turned and ran without any hesitation.

Seeing the golden energy ball flying towards Shotaro, Skull raised his Skull Magnum Gun, intending to shoot it down.

"Wu~" At this moment, Limit Memory let out a cry and flew over at an extremely fast speed, blocking in front of Shotaro. With a flap of its wings, it knocked the golden energy ball back.

The golden energy blast that was deflected struck the Nightmare Dopant squarely in the back, knocking it to the ground.

Seeing this, Skull adjusted his hat brim and quietly left.

After circling in the air once, the Ultimate Memory flew to Shotaro's front. A stream of emerald green data radiated from the central unit of the Ultimate Memory, forming Philip's body.

"Oh, Shotaro, I'm late." Philip chuckled as he looked at Shotaro, who was covered in dust and looked rather disheveled.

"Philip!" Shotaro Sato looked at Philip, who had appeared before him, and was also somewhat excited.

"Let's save the reunion for later." Philip walked to Shotaro's side and said, "Let's take down that guy first and wake everyone up."

"Where's Oyasan?" Shotaro asked.

"Skull? He was already gone when I arrived," Philip replied.

"Alright, let's go then. Partner!" Shotaro Hidari unzipped his vest and took out the Ace Memory from inside his pocket.

"Cyclone!"

"Joker!"

"Hen Shin!" The two of them waved the memory chips to one side.

"Cyclone! Joker!"

Green and purple lightning flashed, and countless fragments of armor, accompanied by the whistling wind, covered Shotaro's body.

"Are you real Kamen Riders?!" Nightmare Doppelganger exclaimed as he got up from the ground and saw Shotaro Hidari transform into W.

"Hmph, you're only realizing this now?" Shotaro snorted.

After saying that, W shook his hand and rushed towards the Nightmare Hybrid standing on the grass, and started fighting with it.

However, the nightmare hybrid in reality was no match for W and was constantly being beaten one-sidedly.

"Drink up!" W raised his leg and delivered a high sweeping kick, which struck the Nightmare Mixed-Up in the face, sending him tumbling through the air and rolling from the grass onto the pebble-strewn ground below.

"If I weren't in a dream, I wouldn't lose again," Philip said, watching the nightmare-mixed entity get up from the ground and turn around to run away.

With that, W leaped up from the grass and delivered a flying kick to the Nightmare Hybrid's back, sending him flying.

The Nightmare Mixture fell to the ground, ignoring the pain, quickly got up, and ran away without looking back.

"Don't even think about escaping!" Watching the Nightmare Doppelganger's fleeing figure, W immediately closed the W Driver at his waist and reached out to take out the Luna Memory.

"Luna!"

"Luna! Joker!"

After switching to Luna Ace form, W raised her right arm and reached out towards the Nightmare Doppelganger that had already run away. W's extended right arm quickly caught up with the fleeing Nightmare Doppelganger and wrapped around its body.

"Hands, hands are reaching out! This must be a nightmare!" the nightmare hybrid exclaimed in terror, looking at the arms that were wrapped around its body.

As he spoke, the Nightmare Hybrid turned to the side, and the bird head on his left shoulder immediately spat out several light bullets toward W.

Seeing the light projectiles fired by the Nightmare Dopant, W retracted his arm and swung it back and forth in the air, blasting all the light projectiles apart.

"Metal!" W took out the metal memory again and inserted it into the W drive.

"Luna! Metal!"

"Bang!"

The bird head on the left shoulder of the Nightmare Hybrid spat out another light bullet towards W.

W, now in her Luna Metal form, immediately reached behind her and pulled out a metal rod, using it as a whip to blast away all the incoming light projectiles. Then, she swung the whip-like metal rod back and forth, striking the Nightmare Hybrid repeatedly, causing its body to explode in sparks.

"Shotaro, destroy his memory," Philip said.

"Ah, let's settle this once and for all." Shotaro nodded, then pulled out the metal memory and inserted it directly into the finishing slot of the metal rod.

"Metal! Maximum Drive!"

W immediately swung the metal rod in his hand like a whip, and rings of yellow energy blades appeared beside him as the rod swung.

"Metal Illusion!"

W swung the metal rod in his hand forward with a sudden movement, and six rings of energy blades that had been surrounding W flew towards the Nightmare Dopant in the distance, then crashed into him one by one and were bounced away.

These disc-shaped energy blades, after circling in the air, flew back from all directions and crashed into the Nightmare Hybrid.

"Boom!"

The nightmare hybrid exploded with a deafening roar, sending flames soaring into the sky.

After the explosion, only Fukushima Gen was left lying on the ground. Looking at the shattered memory in the distance, he reached out his hand with difficulty and said, "Little Xiangxiang, let's continue to dream together."

"Now everyone should be awake," Philip said, looking at Fukushima Gen lying on the ground.

"Bang!"

The already shattered Nightmare Memory exploded again, completely reducing it to fragments.

Afterwards, when Terui Ryu woke up from his dream, the first thing he did was call his sister Terui Haruko. After learning that Terui Haruko did not have a boyfriend, Terui Ryu breathed a sigh of relief and then led Makura to arrest Fukushima Gen.

After the incident, Shotaro returned to Narumi Detective Agency and typed out the case on a typewriter.

However, what Shotaro Hidari is most concerned about is what happened to the bird-shaped Gaia Memory, Philip?

Seeing Philip and Akiko Narumi emerge from the underground base, chatting and laughing, Shotaro quickly stood up from his chair, walked over, and asked, "Philip, where did you and that bird go? What did you do?"

Upon hearing this, Philip immediately recalled what Shroud had told him before.

"I can't say right now." Mr. Philip shook his head, then looked up at Shotaro and said seriously, "But I can say with certainty that my only partner is you, Shotaro."

Upon hearing this, Shotaro couldn't help but chuckle and said, "What's the point of saying anything now that things have come to this?"

"Oh!" Akiko Narumi leaned closer to Shotaro Hidari and chuckled, "Are you shy?"

"Baka! How is that possible!"

"But your face is all red!" Akiko Narumi said, pointing to her cheeks.

Shotaro, his thoughts exposed, became somewhat embarrassed and angry, and started chasing and playing around with Akiko Narumi in the office.

At that moment, a figure dressed in a white suit slowly walked to the door of Narumi Detective Agency and then pushed open the door.

Looking at Shotaro and Akiko Narumi playing around, a look of satisfaction flashed in Shokichi Narumi's eyes.

"Narumi Shokichi?" Philip noticed Narumi Shokichi standing at the door and asked.

"Oyasan?"

"Old man?"

Shotaro and Akiko Narumi turned around at the same time, and when they saw Shoki Narumi standing at the door, they quickly pushed each other away.

Shotaro straightened his clothes, quickly walked up to Narumi Shokichi, and said happily, "Oh my god, you're planning to come back?"

"Oh my god, come in and sit down!" Akiko Narumi threw herself into Shokichi Narumi's arms, hugging his arm and acting coquettishly.

"No, I came back this time to ask you for a favor." Narumi Shokichi patted Narumi Akiko's head and said.

"As long as it can help Ou Yasan, let alone one thing, even ten or a hundred things, I can do it!" Zuo Xiangtaro's eyes lit up, and he quickly patted his chest and made a bold statement.

"If you could be more mature and stop worrying me, I'd be thanking my lucky stars." Narumi Shokichi smiled and tapped Shotaro's forehead.

Shotaro rubbed his forehead, unconvinced, and said, "Compared to Ou Ya-san, everyone looks like a half-baked amateur."

"What do you need us to do?" Philip asked.

"Go to the prison and pick someone up for me," Narumi Shokichi said.

"Huh? Going to the prison to pick someone up?" Akiko Narumi asked in surprise.

"That's right. Ten years ago, I promised him that I would personally deliver what I had found out to him." Narumi Shokichi nodded and said, "Given my current situation, it's not suitable for me to see him. I can only ask you to complete the follow-up of this commission for me."

"So, who are we going to pick up?" Philip asked.

"His name is Isamu Oto," said Shokichi Narumi.

"I understand. I promise I will fulfill Ou Yasan's request," Shotaro said earnestly.

Narumi Shokichi nodded slightly and added, "By the way, when you go to the prison, please also visit a man named Matsui Seiichiro for me. Tell him that I have a very important request to complete and I can't find the time to visit him."
