Special effects: Starting with Ultraman Tiga

Lina's report got TPC fully operational.

Members of the TPC Police Department and Medical Division entered the city in military trucks.

To be precise, only members of the TPC medical department traveled in trucks.

The police officers were all running.

These police officers all wore standard exoskeleton armor with TPC and police department logos printed on the collar and back.

With the added boost from standard exoskeleton armor, they are no slower than trucks.

Upon entering the city, the police officers split into three groups.

Part of it was used to help the medical department set up temporary medical points.

Part of the operation involves working with the Metropolitan Police Department to find the children who ate the lollipops.

The final part involves teams entering the city to search for the witch.

Before long, temporary medical stations were set up one after another.

Children were brought to the temporary medical point one after another for various examinations.

"Doctor, what were the test results?" Ju Jianhui asked Shen Yun.

Shen Yun took off his gloves and handed the analysis report to Ju Jianhui, saying, "The lollipop contains hallucinogenic drugs. These drugs are temporarily hidden in the children's blood and will be catalyzed by some external force, thereby controlling these children."

"Will these medications affect the children's health?" Megumi asked with concern.

"These drugs will be metabolized by the body within 72 hours and will not have a significant impact on the human body," Shen Yun replied.

"It's good that it didn't have any impact." Kijima breathed a sigh of relief and showed a relieved smile, completely at ease.

Finally, I heard some good news.

"Dr. Shen, you said that the drugs in the children's bodies are catalyzed by some kind of external force. What kind of external force is it?" After thinking for a moment, Ji Jianhui asked again.

"I'm not sure, but based on my speculation, it's very likely to be a sound."

"A sound? Why would it be a sound?" Megumi asked, looking puzzled.

"Captain Megumi, I don't know if you've noticed something strange."

"A strange place?"

"That's right." Shen Yun nodded, opened a roster, pointed to the registered addresses, and said:

"Captain Megumi, don't you think these children's home addresses are too far apart?"

Many of the addresses registered here are two places that are quite far apart.

"With such scattered addresses, no matter what method the witch uses, it will be inefficient."

"But sound is different; sound travels over a wide range."

"If I were that witch, all I would need to do is let these children who ate the lollipops hear a certain melody to activate the drug in their bodies. Then I would gather them in one place and capture them all at once."

"In that case, if we just make the children wear earplugs, can we prevent them from being controlled?" Keiji pondered.

"Captain Megumi, this isn't a problem that can be solved by simply wearing earplugs. Sound is just a medium of communication; it doesn't necessarily have to be something that the children can hear," Shen Yun explained patiently.

"Dr. Shen, isn't there a solution?" Kijima asked unwillingly.

"Yes, find the witch's lair and take it down," Shen Yun said.

"Found the witch's lair..." Megumi Kijima gave a wry smile.

If she could find the witch's lair, she wouldn't be stuck here anxiously.

"The three of them, Munakata, Shinjo, and Horii, have thoroughly searched the area with the abnormal magnetic field, but found nothing unusual."

"You've searched everywhere? If that's the case, then this is the only possibility left," Shen Yun said, feigning deep thought.

"What is it?" Megumi asked hurriedly.

"Another dimension."

"An alternate dimension?" Megumi asked, puzzled.

"An alternate dimension refers to a spacetime that exists outside of our own but coexists with it. We cannot find its existence within our own spacetime. This is what we call an alternate dimension," Shen Yun explained simply.

"Dr. Shen seems to know a lot about other dimensions?" Megumi asked in surprise.

"I wouldn't call it understanding, I'd just say I have a slight knowledge," Shen Yun said with a modest smile.

He inherited some of the Yapool's memories, so it's normal that he understands other dimensions better than normal people.

Moreover, the world of Mebius has a discipline called "other dimensions".

In particular, Dr. Fujisawa Asami, who looks exactly like Mayumi, is a leading authority on extradimensional physics.

He learned a little bit from them, along with the memories of the Yabo people.

For him, it was simply opening a passage to another dimension; it wasn't a problem at all.

Although Kei wanted to ask what level Shen Yun meant by "some knowledge," she was quite curious.

But out of concern for the children, she suppressed these thoughts and asked earnestly:

"So, Dr. Shen has a way to open a portal to another dimension?"

"We have to go to the site to investigate in person," Shen Yun said without denying it.

"I'll have Vice Captain Zongfang and the others escort you there."

"I need to go back to the base first and prepare the necessary equipment," Shen Yun said.

……

In another dimension.

Daigo, who was in a coma, was awakened by a cheerful and childlike song.

When Daigo opened his eyes, his gaze was somewhat confused.

When he saw that he was locked in a transparent glass dome, he immediately woke up and kept banging on the glass dome with his hands, but apart from making the glass dome vibrate slightly, it did nothing.

He has no way to escape.

"La la la la la~"

Inside the room, a cheerful child's voice caught Daigo's attention.

He looked closely and saw a little boy, about seven or eight years old, riding a rocking horse that swayed back and forth, humming an unknown song happily, looking quite pleased with himself.

But upon closer inspection, one can see that the child is wearing a clown hat with many cables attached to it, and it is unclear where the other end of the cables is connected.

Besides the child, Daigo also saw the Victory Hyper Gun and Spark Lens on the table.

Daigo banged his head against the glass enclosure that held him back in frustration, regretting his carelessness and impulsiveness.

"Creak—" A soft sound suddenly came from the strange room.

Daigo turned his head and saw a wooden door that wasn't connected to anything suddenly open.

A witch dressed in a black robe slowly walked out of the wooden door.

The witch closed the door behind her and went straight to the child sitting on the rocking horse.

Upon seeing this, Daigo immediately pounded on the glass cover and shouted, "Hey! Who are you?!"

"Where am I?!"

"Hey! Hey!"

The witch seemed not to hear Daigo's voice as she approached the little boy riding the wooden horse and humming a lullaby.

It stretched out its withered, horrible hand, grabbed the little boy's chin, and turned the boy's head towards itself.

But the little boy didn't seem afraid of the terrifying-looking witch at all.

His eyes were vacant, as if he were lost in some beautiful illusion, humming this unknown ballad over and over.

"Stop! You're not allowed to touch him!"
