We asked you to make tokusatsu films, and you actually became Ultraman?

The topic was brought back to the main point. The old woman in the mountains stopped fanning herself, her smile faded, she picked up her enamel mug and took a sip of strong tea, her voice becoming low and somber.

The camera cuts to a memory from over thirty years ago, to an old columbarium.

Uncle Wu, the caretaker of the hall, squatted by the river, carefully placing a red river lantern into the water, watching it drift away, and remained squatting there for a long time.

The scene shifts, and the developer arrives, intending to demolish the columbarium and build a shopping mall.

On the eve of the demolition, Uncle Wu died beside his daughter's urn, with an unfinished red river lantern beside him, half-painted with red paper and her name still unwritten.

The construction team found the belongings in the way, so they piled them up in the yard and burned them, which took a whole afternoon to burn.

[Oh no, with so many buffs, can Lao Liu really beat her?]

I feel like this wasn't a beating but rather a case of rehabilitation, right?

[Since we just received Master Gao's Full Moon Light Wave, this is perfect for purification.]

[Run! Hao Chen from Ultraman World is here! He's coming to steal your skills!]

【…】

The camera cuts back to the courtyard, where leaves rustle and Yunyu stands in the same spot, lost in thought.

Night fell quickly, and Yun Yu arrived at the alley where Sun Xiaochuan had his accident. The rustling sound of plastic bags came from the depths once again.

"Seeing that King Ryu doesn't run away, but instead walks towards him?"

How did I end up at the body disposal site?

[Could it be that we'll see Ultraman exorcising ghosts?]

【…】

The moment she stepped into the alley, the entrance behind her turned into a dead wall covered in moss. Yun Yu touched the wall but ignored it and continued walking forward.

The atmosphere grew increasingly eerie. Yun Yu, finding it pointless, stood still and shouted into the darkness, "You can't scare me! Just use whatever tricks you have up your sleeve!"

[Indeed, it was quite eerie when others were leaving at first, but now that Lao Yun has arrived, it's not scary at all.]

Although Lao Yun looks young, there's something strange about him that makes me feel safe.

Of course you'd feel safe next to Ultraman!

[Now, Laoyun has many mom fans.]

[And then there's me, a dad-fan.]

[Sigh, does nobody understand Lao Yun's abstract pink style?]

【…】

The next second, ghostly hands surged out from the ground and walls, grabbing at any place with clothes on, and Yun Yu was instantly submerged.

He shot out cross-shaped light darts from his palm, severing all the arms in one fell swoop. As he charged, he shouted, "Eat my Maoshan magic!" His hands were covered in light darts.

He then switched to pointing his sword and shouting "Five Thunderbolts Righteous Law," but the projectiles still shot out cross-shaped light darts.

[Oh no, this magic is really powerful.]

[A single Taoist technique swept away a whole group of ghosts; is Lao Yun's cultivation level really that high?]

"Kids, this is much more useful than Taoist magic!"

[That kid Lao Yun is the most cunning. He cut someone in half and claimed he was using Maoshan Taoist magic to help them pass on to the afterlife.]

【…】

The ghostly hand condensed into a human form and launched a counterattack, but Yun Yu immediately transformed into Sirius and scattered them with a burst of light darts.

Just as the ghostly hand was about to escape, a red river lantern lit up in the depths of darkness, drawing all the resentment and black energy in. The space shattered, and the scene shifted to the side of an unfinished building.

The darkness, centered on the red light, coalesced into a monster over fifty meters tall. Its hunched, thin, paper-mache body was covered with a smiling mask atop a white paper lantern head. Its back was filled with nameless memorial tablets, and the long sleeves of its burial shroud reached the ground. Paper wind chimes jingled at its waist, and a small red river lantern on its chest was the only warm color.

[This Prison Cloud is a joke! Why does it turn into Prison Liu when it can't win?]

"What are you waiting for? Here you go."

Finally, we get to see Ultraman exorcise a demon!

[My name is Gui Nao Yun Yu, and I'm officially online now. I've taken over this city.]

Children, this ghost is not easy to deal with.

【…】

The ghostly monster Menglanga appeared, lowered its head, and the smiling face on its lantern head faced Sirius, emitting a roar like paper rubbing together.

Sylius also grew larger, and the two fifty-meter-tall behemoths attacked almost simultaneously.

Meng Lanjia compressed the river lantern on his chest into a ghostly blue flame and launched it, causing frost to form wherever it passed.

Sirius's cross-shaped light dart met the attack, but it cut straight through the smoke like a knife. The will-o'-the-wisp remained unharmed and continued to strike. Sirius dodged to the side, and the light dart flew towards Menglanga, which dodged it by tilting its lantern head.

[Still a crosshair.]

[The classic cross-shaped dart test failed.]

[Yeah, this seems to be the only time the Crossbeam Light Darts didn't work after the fourth star of the Prisoner returned to his original world, right?]

[Oh no, the enemy is an overpowered monster.]

[Still using the method of judging by solidification.]

【…】

Meng Langa spread out his arms, which were like the long sleeves of a funeral shroud, and pressed down like a giant paper figure.

Sirius Mach moved around to the back and punched through the paper body, but the wound healed instantly, and his fist was stuck.

The spirit tablet on his back transformed into tentacles and attacked. Sirius used his light blade to cut it off, but black smoke surged from the cut and it regenerated.

He grabbed the two tentacles with his bare hands, switched to the Galactic Fireball, and unleashed six fireballs with his telekinesis.

It seems like the opposing team has some kind of mechanic-heavy problem.

Wow, can I use six fireballs at once now?

[In the last episode, we could only use two, but now we can use six. Is this some kind of overkill?]

【…】

The barrier of ghost fire from the Menglanga opened, the fireball was devoured and transformed, its color changing from warm red to ghost blue, before it changed direction and crashed back.

Six consecutive hits sent Sirius flying.

[Takeoff 1/1]

[I'm so touched! The movie "Lao Liu" has finally taken off. If it hadn't, I wouldn't know what to watch.]

[This brings back so many memories, I'm really moved to tears.]

【…】

He rolled to dodge the follow-up attacks. After Menglanga recovered, the tentacles surged again. Sirius used Mach Movement to dodge and move around. Suddenly, a mirror with a wooden frame appeared out of thin air in front of him. He couldn't dodge in time and stared at his reflection.

The scene shifts to a columbarium.

The dim light bulbs flickered, rows of urn shelves were filled with memorial tablets, and in the deepest part, an old man in an old cotton-padded coat squatted on the ground making red river lanterns, with a photo of a little girl with pigtails next to him.

The old man didn't look up; his hoarse voice rang out softly:

"You're here! Wait a little longer, the lamps will be finished soon."

[Here it comes! The unique strategy guide for Laoliu!]

[What's going on? Even the special CG of an elderly person needs to be explained?]

Looking forward to swimsuit skins.

【…】

Inside the columbarium, Yunyu found herself transformed back into human form, sitting to the side watching the old man clumsily making red river lanterns, making frequent mistakes.

He couldn't bear to watch, so he got up and learned how to make lamps. He ruined several attempts before finally clumsily making one.

[Look, Lao Liu's expression is completely flat; you can't see any trace of her gentle demeanor from before.]

[Perhaps they're angry because these monsters hurt humans?]

Even though Lao Yun was angry, he still chose to help.

This is probably what an Ultraman warrior is like.

【…】

The old man pushed open the door, and outside was a quiet forest with a small river under the moonlight. At the end of the river, countless translucent figures stood quietly, facing the water and waiting.

Seeing Yunyu's expression, he smiled and handed her a pen, asking her to write down what she wanted to say. Yunyu wrote on the lamp cover, "I will never forget you."

Then, looking at the old man, his eyes resolute, he said, "So please disappear."

The old man's smile vanished completely, and he asked tremblingly why.

At first, the old man thought Lao Yun had come to accept them because his attitude had improved, but it turned out that Lao Yun's will remained as firm as ever.

When I saw Lao Yun pick up his pen, I thought he would approve, but in the end, he really didn't disappoint us.

[He has compassion, yet he still holds fast to his principles. Lao Yun, how can you be so cool!]

【…】

Yunyu released the river lantern into the stream and asked in return, "And why do you hurt innocent people?"

If you listen to the Mandarin dub at this point, you can hear a familiar Mandarin narration saying, "Harming innocent people, no matter what the reason, cannot be forgiven."

Yunyu acknowledged their pitiful state, but harming the innocent could not be forgiven.

He grasped the astrolabe: "Give up..." His body transformed into a blue stream of light and burst through space.

The old man stood there silently for a long time, then smiled with relief and slowly squatted down by the river, as if waiting for something.

[Lao Yun is truly righteous yet evil.]

[If it were a typical Japanese anime protagonist, he might actually forgive these people in a very gentle manner.]

Yes, we have no right to forgive the perpetrators on behalf of the victims.

This worldview is so righteous it's bordering on the wicked.

【…】

Almost at the same moment he broke through the illusion, in reality, Sirius made a perfect side turn to dodge the tentacle whip, severed all the tentacles with his cross-shaped light dart, and soared into the sky in a Mach-speed maneuver.

The full moon hung behind him, its silvery light casting a sacred halo.

[Are they really going to use the Full Moon Beam?]

【…】

Just when the audience thought he was going to use the Full Moon Beam, Sirius fell from the sky with his right leg engulfed in flames, unleashing the Sirius Flying Kick.

audience:"..."

But the will-o'-the-wisp transformed the raging flames into a ghostly blue flame, the chill spreading across his entire leg.

Yun Yu did not slow down, and with a "bang", she pierced through Meng Langa's chest.

That red-core river lantern had somehow ended up in his hands.

At the same time, Sirius's red light turned on. He endured the cold and numbness in his legs, limped to the stream next to the unfinished building, squatted down, and gently placed the red lantern on the water.

In the alternate dimension, the old man who had been squatting by the river finally saw the red light.

Wow, I feel like this old man also hopes that someone will redeem them like this.

[By taking Lao Yun to release river lanterns, the old man was practically giving a tacit instruction.]

Although I don't want to disappear, I also yearn for my own salvation.

【…】

Seeing the comments, Zhang San instantly realized what was going on. Thinking about the old man's strange behavior, he immediately connected the dots.

He picked up the lamp and, with trembling hands, wrote: "Someone will remember us; we will not be forgotten..."

Then gently place it back on the water, and the river lantern merges into the river of light composed of countless lights.

In reality, as the river lanterns drifted further and further away, the reorganization of Menglanjia came to a complete halt.

The roar disappeared, replaced by hundreds of people expressing their gratitude in unison.

Meng Langa's body completely disintegrated, and countless translucent souls turned into golden specks of light and floated into the sky. They were no longer shattered arms, but complete people, flying towards the direction of the river lanterns.

A large amount of white energy surged out and was returned to the victims whose life force had been plundered.

Sirius stood by the stream, watching the specks of light drift into the sky, and whispered a promise:

"I will never forget you all..."

We will always remember this!!!

[Congratulations to Lao Liu on another successful launch of another unit!!!!]

[This is another episode filled with humanistic concern, and given LaoLiu TV's track record, they'll definitely be showing the developer's fate later.]

[I don't feel any pressure at all; it's a piece of cake for me, King Ryu.]

【…】

Zhang San, watching the comments, couldn't help but sigh, "This episode about humanistic care by Sirius is so well done."

Furthermore, although these episodic episodes focus on ordinary people, each of them possesses a great spirit, making it truly difficult not to be moved.

While marveling at the situation, Zhang San also sent out his own comments.

【Gaia!!!】
