Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 212 Malice

Self-Defense Forces base.

Mizuki Shiro entered the underground test site with some trepidation. Next to him was an intern operator who had changed into an officer's uniform. She walked with an imposing air and had an aggressive look in her eyes, completely unlike the little fangirl she had been in the G3 department.

Walking through the corridor, you can see the remains of more than a dozen soldiers placed side by side in freezers.

There were no external injuries, but he seemed to have suffered great pain before he died.

They were all comrades who had participated in the G4 uniform-wearing trials and lost their lives during the process.

Are you scared?

The female officer sneered at Mizuki Shiro, who had stopped in his tracks.

"Sacrifices are inevitable before great achievements can be made, and thanks to them, G4 has been further strengthened."

"I'm not afraid, I just want to remember them."

Shiro Mizuki's voice was hoarse.

"I am now fighting with death on my shoulders..."

"Those things have nothing to do with me."

The female officer suppressed her smile and strode towards the G4 armored vehicle that was being tested.

"I'll help you apply for dress code eligibility. I only have one request: once you succeed, you must destroy the G3-X."

"Shinji Kaminaga?" Shiro Mizushiro subconsciously touched the back of his neck. "That man is strange. I can't quite figure him out. He seems like the former Number 4, but he doesn't seem like it either... However, if G4 is involved, I can grant your request."

"That guy couldn't possibly be Number 4," the female officer sneered. "Number 4 doesn't exist anymore; there's no mistake about that!"

"What do you guys know?"

Shiro Mizuki looked puzzled, but the female officer in front of him showed no intention of explaining, only instructing the guards to prepare for the G4 test.

"What's going on with Shinji Kaminari? Is that level of strength really human-level?"

"Who knows? He was originally the best G4 dresser, but he was too old-fashioned and insisted on following Sumiko Ozawa... You should prove to him the invincible strength of G4."

……

"Ugh—!"

As night fell on the lakeside, several police cars were parked by the roadside, and police officers at the scene cordoned off the area, protecting a charred body hidden in the grass.

Si Long Er arrived at the scene immediately, and the police officers present saluted him.

This Shiryuji has a good reputation in the Metropolitan Police Department. Many people have received his help, and he was once an elite police officer who solved countless cases.

"The time of death was 9 p.m., and it happened to be seen by someone jogging at night..."

"Another spontaneous combustion? Wasn't that unknown life form supposed to have been eliminated by the G3 department?"

"According to witnesses, the fire did indeed start suddenly..."

"There may be other individuals, but based on the identity information from the driver's license, the deceased and the previous victims were not related by blood."

Xia Chuan glanced at the crime scene through the police cordon, but did not sense any activity from the Venerables around him.

This world is strange.

Number 4 appeared, but Daguba was not. The plot of Agito is not entirely consistent with the TV series and seems to incorporate elements from the theatrical version.

Moreover, because of that alien, even the Black God was unable to revive successfully.

Many places have changed.

Based on the limited information available, it seems that the other party intends to merge the powers of the Black God and the White God.

The key to stopping them lies with that long-haired boy...

"Mr. Kaminaga," Hikawa Makoto emerged from behind the police cordon and saw Natsukawa, who was on a picnic, complaining helplessly, "Aren't you going to take a look? This murder case doesn't make any sense at all. If this continues, our previous judgments will be overturned."

"Yes, Kaminari, aren't you a detective?"

Sumiko Ozawa's voice came through the headset.

"Perhaps we can find some clues, but relying on that simple-minded guy, Bingchuan, is obviously useless."

"I'm simple-minded?" Hikawa Makoto was taken aback, unable to believe that Ozawa Sumiko would say such a thing about him. "Then why didn't Officer Ozawa come to the scene?"

"I still need to find a new operator. Hojo has been nowhere to be found, and the trainee operator has also suddenly disappeared."

Sumiko Ozawa glanced at the police officers who were hiding not far away.

"Ever since the surveillance team arrived, G3 has been like a curse. Now there are rumors circulating outside. Only a fool would turn around."

"As for being an operator, I can actually do it part-time..."

"You're the one."

"call!"

Xia Chuan entered the murder scene in the grass amidst the cool lake breeze.

Forensic investigators have completed their evidence collection, but the body has not yet been transported away.

detective……

It's just a temporary identity.

If you consider the brain as a processor, it's several versions more advanced than the average person's, but his strength lies in combat.

He hadn't even considered things like deduction and detective work... that was unnecessary.

"I feel like something's not quite right, but I just can't quite put my finger on it," Hikawa Makoto said, following behind, looking completely bewildered.

"Why must it always be an unknown life form that kills?"

Xia Chuan looked at the busy police officers.

While each group of Venerable Ones does indeed have multiple individuals, the Jellyfish Head is an exception.

The greater the ability, the rarer the quantity.

He didn't think it would be that easy for a second one to appear.

"The unknown life form did kill many people, but most of them still died at the hands of humans themselves."

"Does Mr. Kaminaga mean to imitate a crime?"

"I guess so."

Xia Chuan scanned the scene again, and details automatically came to mind, as if he could see the murderer tightly wrapped and strangling the victim's neck under the moonlight.

Painful breathing, desperate struggle...

"The time of death was not 9 o'clock, it was earlier. The murderer set the fire remotely after leaving the scene."

"Buzz!"

As his senses intensified, more details flooded into Xia Chuan's mind, including those of Shi Long Er, who was also bending down to investigate but looked terrified.

However, Xia Chuan's attention had already gradually shifted.

He was no longer the Shinji Kaminari of the past, and being in a different timeline, he wasn't particularly interested in such events and didn't want to delve into the details.

He was more concerned about the commotion on the other side.

A great deal of malice and hatred is being conveyed.

Suddenly, a familiar figure entered Xia Chuan's perception.

Gunshots echoed in a corner of the city.

Shiro Mizuki, dressed in a brand-new knight armor similar to that of G3, is leading a team to capture a group of passengers from the Dawn.

"By combining these people's superpowers, G4 can undergo a complete transformation, becoming invincible warriors..."

"Not a single one can be spared!"

……

"Mr. Kaminari?" Hikawa asked, puzzled. "You mean, the murderer is human?"

"Go investigate the rest and prove your intelligence to Officer Ozawa."

Xia Chuan withdrew his telekinetic senses and gently pressed on Bingchuan Cheng's shoulder.

"It should be a very simple thing for you."

"Simple?"

Hikawa Makoto's smile froze slightly as he forced a smile and watched Natsukawa leave the scene.

Behind him, Si Long Er kept his head down, his expression shifting between light and dark.

It's uncertain whether Natsukawa truly knows anything.

But Natsukawa did look at him intentionally or unintentionally while he was speaking...

"I've worked so hard to get where I am today, don't push me!"

Having subtly glanced at the seemingly confused Hikawa Makoto, Shiryuji followed Natsukawa without making a sound.

Killing him outright would be too abrupt, but given his current status, it's not impossible for him to do it without anyone noticing.

Moreover, it's not impossible to use someone else to do the dirty work.

He also happened to know about G4.

"Phew!" After gazing intently at Natsukawa's retreating figure for a while, Shiryuji turned on his mobile phone communicator to contact the Self-Defense Forces.

Xia Chuan paused slightly.

People are pretty much the same no matter which world they live in.

Multiple faces can coexist, good and bad, and it's hard to tell which one is real.

There's just one thing...

When one's own strength is strong enough, neither good nor bad can affect him.

Let's deal with G4 first.

Xia Chuan turned his head and successfully located the Self-Defense Forces' position.

The power of the gods is already troublesome enough. If the Self-Defense Forces also control this armor, which is no weaker than the main rider but can be mass-produced, it will truly become a hellish dungeon.

Uncomfortable
