Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 198 Agito

Training base, knight school.

Baluba took off her white coat and left the medical office.

Because of the need to protect Hiroko Asami, I don't usually spend much time here, only occasionally needing to treat some critically ill knights.

The only advantage of staying here is that it blocks a lot of malicious glances.

Human beings are far too complex. There are always some ambitious people who are oblivious to their own mortality. They are clearly someone who can be easily crushed, yet they all want to take advantage of her.

It seems they felt she was no longer a threat.

Human history has a striking recurrence of similarities, constantly repeating the same mistakes.

She just hates fighting, not that she can't fight.

"Buzz!"

At the base intersection, Baluba suddenly stopped and turned around sharply to look around.

A new energy aura has appeared.

A sense of danger...

"Ugh—!"

At a military research institute, a large number of armed personnel stood guard, their foreheads slightly sweaty, watching the experimental building from which the screams of women were emanating.

Despite the excellent soundproofing, the sound was not blocked at all, as if it were right next to my ear, with occasional dull thuds.

"Has Project Agito officially begun?"

"ah--!"

The piercing screams echoed through the base once more, and all the building windows shattered under the fearful gaze of the armed personnel. One researcher in a white coat even coughed up blood and flew out of the building.

"Bang bang bang!"

……

School villa.

Top floor.

Beetles, steel bees, royal bees... all the insect instruments were lined up, waiting for the inspection of the Tooth Bat II.

"Strange, where's the other one? Where's the HEPA insect apparatus?"

"Hyper isn't in a good mood," Kabuto, the only one present who could speak, replied. "It seems to be because of his ability being downgraded."

"That guy is overthinking it. The power we can unleash depends on Shen Yong."

Fang Bat II secretly wiped away a bead of cold sweat.

Young people are just very emotional.

Fortunately, it seems he can still handle the HEPA insect apparatus.

Regardless of age or seniority.

"Uncle Nissan," Kabuto asked curiously, "have you been following Mr. Kaminaga all this time?"

"Hmm, more or less, it was a long time ago." The second Tooth Bat flapped its wings and hung upside down next to the lamp.

"What kind of person is Mr. Kaminaga usually?" Kabuto asked cautiously, "I mean, what are his hobbies, how do you get along with him, and so on..."

"call out!"

Bedroom on the second floor.

Xia Chuan was studying telekinesis. Several small stones moved nimbly through the air as his fingers moved, their speed increasing.

His abilities now mainly consist of two aspects: physical abilities and superpowers in the traditional sense, which are special skills that are primarily based on mental power.

Although his physical condition continued to improve, his superpowers also continued to advance.

However, what is passively increased is the upper limit; how to use and utilize it depends on the individual.

It feels like there's still a lot of room for development.

Both Kuuga and the Gurongi can alter matter, but they quickly revert to their original state after leaving their bodies. He is doing the same thing now, the only difference being how long it lasts.

Theoretically, it should be possible to change it permanently.

There's also supernatural fire; the principle is actually the same.

Theoretically, he could do it on his own even without the Knight System.

"Breaking news: The Fujiwara Group has officially dissolved, and asset liquidation began today..."

"Even after the chairman of the Fujiwara Foundation disappeared, the alliance conducted an in-depth investigation, and several illegal experimental projects were reviewed..."

"Fujiwara Saiji's application to form a team has been approved..."

"An impossible crime has occurred in Bunkyo Ward. The victims are a father and son. According to witnesses, the two were attacked by a monster, and their bodies fused with a tree trunk..."

"Bang!"

The news broadcast entered Xia Chuan's telekinetic perception; even the slightest fluctuation caused all the stones to blast into dust.

In a daze, he seemed to hear a woman's scream, and the interplay of light and darkness entered his vision.

"Agito..."

Agito, the Rider world that appeared after Kuuga, is a special spacetime with god-like beings.

It seems like it has finally appeared.

Xia Chuan looked down at the shuttle belt that appeared automatically.

After clearing the first level of the Kabuto Time Rift dungeon, the shuttle had already refreshed its cooldown, but I hadn't experienced such a strong reaction before.

……

"Ugh—!"

In the darkness, sirens blared as police cars drove along the coast.

At a container area of ​​the dock, a cordon was set up with workers watching.

"In the second incident, the three victims were from the same family as the father and son who were killed in the morning."

"It was like this when it was discovered, how did they manage to do that?"

Detective Kudo frowned as he watched the forensic team take photos and collect evidence.

"Has another strange person appeared?"

Since the dungeon was officially released, similar murder cases in reality have decreased sharply in recent days, and there haven't been any major cases like this for a long time.

"Could it be that they have some connection with the Fujiwara Group?" the assistant asked suspiciously.

Who knows?

Detective Kudo found a group photo.

"If the murderer is killing as a family, then we need to be wary of the others above; they could be the next target."

"Officer Kaminari!"

The two policemen suddenly saluted in surprise. Detective Kudo turned around and saw that Natsukawa had appeared outside the police line at some point.

"It's you? What are you doing here?"

"I just came to take a look. I'm not a police officer anymore."

Xia Chuan smiled and responded, his gaze inadvertently sweeping over the body stuck in the shipping container, a fleeting image of the Jaguar Monster activating its superpowers flashing by.

Agito can actually be seen as a parallel world to Kuuga; the two are related but quite different.

Calling the villains "monsters" is not quite appropriate; strictly speaking, they are "messengers of God," and their targets are individuals among humans who possess the power of Agito.

The most prominent feature is superpowers.

This ability comes from another deity from the ancient times.

The forces of light and darkness clashed in the ancient past. The defeated force of light dispersed its power, transforming it into countless seeds which it bestowed upon the humans created by the force of darkness, thus triggering a new battle.

Of course, this is the background of the Knights of Agito timeline.

It is unclear why such events are occurring in this world; it may simply be a world invasion.

"Beep!"

"Requesting backup!"

"Unknown life form detected in the port area. Nearby police vehicles are requested to rush to the scene immediately. Patrol motorcycles are en route..."

"Something's happened!"

Detective Kudo gripped the walkie-talkie with the repeated broadcast, took a deep breath, and without saying much to Natsukawa, hurriedly got into the police car with his assistant.

Perhaps remembering that Xia Chuan was already a knight, it started the engine and then leaned out to shout at Xia Chuan.

"Hey, Kaminari, want to come up?"

"No, I'll go by myself."

Xia Chuan took one last look at the victims on the shipping container, then stepped back and left the scene.

Once out of sight, he directly found a mirror and took out the Dragon Knight Card Cube.

With the Dragon Rider system, there's no need to rush around in reality; the Mirror World is faster and more discreet.

"Transformation."
