At two o'clock in the morning, the city completely shed the hustle and bustle of the day. The streets were empty and quiet, and the streetlights cast long halos of light on the wet asphalt.

A cool evening breeze swept through the empty streets, gently tinkling the wind chimes in front of the convenience store.

Only this 24-hour convenience store remained lit up with its warm white light, like the only safe haven in the deep darkness of the night.

Yunyu leaned against the cashier's counter. The night shift was unusually quiet, with almost no passersby. The store was so quiet that you could hear the ticking of the second hand.

"According to you, you took photos with Shota while wearing the Sirius suit, and then had Shota take them to school, resulting in Shota becoming incredibly popular in his class?"

Su Mo, who was drinking coffee nearby, spoke with obvious suspicion, her eyebrows slightly raised.

It wasn't just a little doubt; it was complete disbelief from the bottom of my heart.

Everyone knows that the city has been strictly controlling everything related to Sirius lately. Ordinary people are not allowed to own the suit, and even disseminating related images privately requires strict reporting.

But Yunyu was in an exceptionally lighthearted mood at that moment.

A few days ago, he not only comforted the sad and disappointed Shota, but also helped him repair his most cherished Ultraman toy. He even put on the complete suit and took a photo with the child.

Originally aloof, timid, and taciturn boy at school, Shota became more cheerful and confident because of that group photo, and gained some friends.

Yunyu felt a great sense of accomplishment when she was able to help a child overcome his inferiority complex.

So he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, revealing a smug smile he couldn't hide: "Hahaha, it's true."

Seeing his smug expression, Su Mo, holding her coffee, smiled even more broadly and slowly uttered a sentence:

"But hasn't the CEA already explicitly prohibited the unauthorized dissemination of anything related to Sirius?"

A single sentence was uttered.

Yun Yu's smug smile instantly froze on his face. His previously lighthearted mood suddenly tightened, and he abruptly composed himself, immediately adopting a feigned nervous demeanor, his survival instincts kicking in at full speed.

"Ahem, actually, that was a prop suit that I secretly ordered from a shady manufacturer in advance."

Su Mo could easily see through his little scheme, but she didn't press him further. She simply lowered her head and took a small sip of her iced coffee.

Just as the atmosphere in the store quieted down, an unusually loud cell phone ringtone suddenly sounded.

"Seven...Seven...Seven Seven Seven!"

The theme song of a special effects show echoed in the quiet convenience store, which seemed particularly abrupt. Yun Yu was slightly taken aback and almost couldn't help but burst out laughing on the spot.

He truly never expected that this office worker would use such a Seven ringtone.

But the next second, an outrageous thought suddenly popped into Yun Yu's mind: Could it be... because Yuan Shen needs to use the Seventh Shrine?

In an instant, Yun Yu's gaze became somewhat subtle as she silently turned her head to observe the composed Su Mo.

Su Mo completely ignored his strange gaze, swiped her finger across the screen, and calmly answered the call.

She listened quietly to the work arrangements on the other end of the phone, nodding gently from time to time, her expression calm and without any extra emotions throughout.

The call ended in just a few dozen seconds.

She raised her hand and placed her phone face down on the bar counter, then lay face down on the cold wooden surface, her shoulders slumped slightly, her whole body radiating exhaustion from working late into the night.

The cool light fell on the top of her head, making her appear exceptionally quiet and delicate.

Seeing her like this, Yunyu felt a surge of curiosity and asked softly, "What's wrong? Are you having to work overtime again?"

Hearing his voice, Su Mo slightly raised her head, half her cheek still buried in his soft arms, her voice muffled and filled with deep drowsiness:

"No need to work overtime today, I can get a normal rest tonight, but I'll most likely have to go out on fieldwork again tomorrow, so I'll be busy."

Her voice, soft and gentle from sleep in the dead of night, had completely lost its sharp and capable quality from when she was working, and had become unusually gentle.

Looking at her tired and languid appearance, Yunyu inexplicably felt that this usually capable and shrewd workplace reporter actually had such an adorable side after shedding the pressure of work.

He really wanted to reach out and pat her head, but he forced himself to hold back.

He reached for the ice bucket next to him, thoughtfully added a few ice cubes to her half-empty coffee cup, and casually asked:

"Could you tell me what kind of work you do? If not, just pretend I didn't ask."

Su Mo had anticipated his curiosity, and upon hearing this, she sighed softly and calmly told him the truth:

"I knew you'd ask. It's not confidential news, so I'll tell you."

Recently, there have been several reports of children going missing at night in the city. The city police and the news department are working together to investigate. Tomorrow, I need to visit the families of the missing children to gather clues and offer my condolences.

The moment the words fell.

Yun Yu's relaxed smile vanished completely, and her heart sank.

Children are frequently going missing...

He subconsciously began to quickly search his memory for all the aliens and monsters that were good at luring children.

Seeing Yun Yu's instantly serious expression, Su Mo assumed he was simply worried about public security and couldn't help but laugh at his earnestness.

She straightened up, finished the last sip of her coffee, packed her small bag, and got up to leave, raising her hand to tease him lightly:

"Okay, stop looking so serious. You stay up all night guarding the convenience store every day, working alone in the middle of the night. Be careful, or one day you might get kidnapped."

Upon hearing this, Yun Yu immediately raised her eyes to retort, her tone tinged with helplessness: "I'm almost twenty-one, how can I still be considered a child?"

As he spoke, he looked out at the dark, deserted streets. Walking alone at night was far too dangerous, so he immediately stood up and asked seriously:

"It's so late, there's no one on the streets, it's not safe. Do you want me to take you home?"

Su Mo was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, before she smiled gently: "You're going to give it to me? Then you don't need to look after your shop anymore?"

Yun Yu didn't answer her question directly, but instead asked her seriously, "Is your home far from here?"

"It's not far, only five or six hundred meters away, just a few minutes' walk," Su Mo replied truthfully after a moment's thought.

Hearing that the distance was so close, Yun Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was only a few hundred meters, not much trouble, and it wouldn't take too long to watch the shop. At worst, he could just turn into Sirius and come back after dropping off Su Mo.

He immediately and frankly said, "Then I'll go to the restroom first, and close the shop temporarily. I'll be right back."

Hearing him use the excuse of going to the restroom, Su Mo's smile softened, and she teased him gently:

"That's perfect, I'll take a few packets of drip coffee from the shop."

"Since you went out of your way to walk me downstairs, would you like to come upstairs, sit for a while, have a cup of coffee, and then come back?"

"Please spare me, all I want to do after get off work is go straight to sleep."

Su Mo persisted, teasing him with a smile, "How about a cup of hot tea, it's no problem?"

"You want me to get my salary docked, don't you?"

"You found out..."

The convenience store was bathed in warm, gentle light late at night, with a light evening breeze blowing.

The two bantered and teased each other, adding a touch of relaxed and ambiguous tenderness to the quiet and chilly night.

The night was gentle, and a light breeze swept through the neighborhood streets, dispelling the lingering heat of the day.

The streetlights downstairs cast a warm yellow glow, making the two figures walking side by side appear long and graceful.

Chatting casually along the way, the two had unknowingly arrived at Su Mo's apartment building.

"Then be careful on your way back."

Su Mo stopped, turned her head slightly, her eyes clear and gentle in the night, her tone carrying a soft, admonishing tone.

Hearing her gentle words of advice, Yun Yu didn't respond much, but simply raised her hand and gently pushed her shoulder, her tone relaxed and natural:

"Okay, okay, I got it. You go upstairs now, don't let the wind blow on you downstairs."

Su Mo smiled faintly upon hearing this, her eyes crinkling into a smile. Following his gentle guidance, she turned and walked towards the stairwell, turning back to whisper, "Then bye-bye for now?"

"Okay, goodnight."

Yun Yu stood still, quietly watching Su Mo's figure walk into the dimly lit corridor, watching the motion-activated lights in the corridor light up one by one with each step, and then slowly go out one by one.

He didn't leave immediately; he just stood quietly under the streetlight, waiting patiently.

A moment later, my phone vibrated slightly and the screen lit up. It was a message from Su Mo saying that she had arrived home safely.

Upon seeing the message, Yun Yu's worries completely subsided, a slight smile appeared on her lips, and she turned to leave the residential area.

He was completely unaware that a figure was standing quietly behind the glass window on the side of the corridor.

Su Mo did not immediately return to her room. Instead, she secretly watched the figure downstairs through the glass until he walked away and disappeared around the street corner before gently withdrawing her gaze.

The evening breeze grew cooler, and the night deepened.

To take a shortcut, Yunyu moved away from the main road of the residential area. The streetlights became increasingly sparse, and there were very few pedestrians around. The whole street was so quiet that only the sound of the wind and her own footsteps could be heard.

Yun Yu walked alone on the empty night road, his mind slowly relaxing. After a series of battles, he rarely had such a peaceful and leisurely moment, which finally allowed his long-tense nerves to relax.

As she walked along, confirming that no one was around, Yun Yu raised her hand, and a faint, soft starlight shone from her palm.

Tiny specks of shimmering white light flickered and danced. In the next instant, a starlight barrier quietly appeared in his palm, thin yet exceptionally stable, its glow gentle and restrained, standing out clearly in the pitch-black night.

Perhaps because of his delusions, he was able to use some minor skills directly in human form this time.

Although I can only create a barrier and use the cross-shaped light dart, don't forget that I'm only a four-star now. If I become a five-star or even a six-star later, will I be able to directly fire the Sirius photon ray?

Just as Yun Yu was thinking, his relaxed nerves suddenly tightened.

Almost at the same instant she sensed the danger, Yun Yu did not hesitate for a moment, and the dissipated starlight barrier instantly opened again.

Om-!

Just as the transparent light shield was formed, a large jet of thick, eerie black liquid suddenly gushed out from the alley and slammed hard onto the starlight barrier!

There was no violent explosion, no shockwave, and not even the slightest sound.

The starlight barrier vanished into thin air the instant it came into contact with the black mist liquid.

It did not shatter or disintegrate, nor was it depleted of energy, nor was it corroded or dissolved.

It vanished completely and cleanly from nothing, as if it had never existed.

The moment the barrier disappeared, Yun Yu's figure remained steady instead of retreating. His hands quickly crossed and formed a precise starting stance for charging up a cross-shaped light dart.

Starlight condensed in his palm, carrying the sharpness of starlight, and shot out precisely from the depths of the alley where the dark liquid was coming from.

call out--!

A white light pierced through the dark alley, moving at an astonishing speed.

From the depths of the dark and silent alley, a piercing, sharp tearing and cutting sound suddenly rang out, followed by a strange and shrill scream that suddenly exploded from the depths of the alley!

Tick-tock, tick-tock...

The liquid dripped onto the ground, making a soft, pattering sound.

At the same time, hurried, chaotic footsteps sounded rapidly, their rhythm frantic, as they quickly retreated into the depths of the alley, getting further and further away from Yun Yu.

Clearly, the unknown enemy who had ambushed them from the shadows was severely wounded by the cross-shaped light darts and, filled with fear, planned to flee overnight.

But Yunyu had no intention of letting this thing go. She immediately planned to grip the Sirius Star Disc around her neck and transform to pursue and destroy it.

But just as he was about to touch the star chart, the eerie scream from before had already disturbed the nearby residents.

The windows of several houses along the street were opened one after another, and many residents peeked out, looking in the direction of the alley with suspicion, and whispering among themselves.

Not wanting to be watched by others, Yun Yu couldn't transform. Without much thought, he loosened his grip on the star chart, took a step, and followed the enemy's escape route, quickly chasing into the deep alley.

After speeding through the area and completely escaping the sight of the residents, Yun Yu no longer restrained herself once she was sure no one was watching.

He instantly grasped the Sylvias astrolabe, and the warm starlight spread throughout his body along his neck.

Those fleeing in panic deep into the alleyways at this moment are the Kemurians, who are hiding on this planet.

This planet is shrouded in darkness and is on the verge of destruction, especially after being abandoned by the Planetary Alliance, it has become a neglected planet.

Normally, these aliens should have taken advantage of the chaos, but instead, the so-called Ultraman Sirius appeared.

Under the observation of many aliens who wanted to take advantage of the chaos, they discovered that this Sirius seemed to be quite strong, and not just ordinary strong, but the kind of strong that could destroy his own home planet, so they gave up.

However, many aliens still believe that the bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish, and they think they can grab as much as they can now.

So the Kemurs thought they could steal as many people as possible, especially young bodies, to prevent themselves from aging.

But it was precisely for this reason that when he scanned this area with the alien spaceship probe, he clearly detected the existence of a child's body with extremely powerful potential.

He had planned to sneak up and capture the creature, but when he actually made his move, he was completely stunned.

How did the child's body, which was marked by the detector, turn into an adult human?!

And while this body is indeed quite powerful, is someone that powerful really human?

The barrier and the cross-shaped dart reminded him of the giants of light that existed on this planet.

Before the Kemur could think further, as he was using his proud speed to escape, a ball of light suddenly rushed towards him.

The Kemurians were truly at their wits' end, and no one had told them that the now-famous Ultraman Sirius was still a child!
