Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 227 The Ghost Incident and the Missing Person

Guandong Warriors Branch.

The ancient books piled up in front of Taki Akihisa were increasing, mostly diary records about eliminating demonic spirits, as well as information and precautions about various factions of demons.

Consider this a popular science explanation of the world system.

"This is unscientific, absolutely unscientific!" Taki Akihisa scratched his head in anguish. "There's no theoretical formula whatsoever, and elemental powers, monsters, and demons... what's making them work?"

Hiroko Asami rolled her eyes and continued flipping through the ancient book: "We're already in this kind of world, who cares about science or not? Just treat it as a game instance."

"What are you doing now?" Taki Akihisa asked, puzzled. "You've read this tattered book so many times, what new tricks do you have up your sleeve?"

"I'm just a little curious about the things about the gods in this world, and this book also seems to involve the origins of the Warriors organization."

Hiroko Asami pondered.

"Do you think there might be some hidden information, like something that needs to be burned or soaked in water...?"

"No, no, no!"

A researcher wearing glasses burst into the archives with a start and hurriedly snatched the ancient book from Hiroko Asami's hands.

"Just ask me whatever you want to know. These ancient books are already damaged; we can't afford to do anything else to them!"

"Huh?" Taki Akihisa pointed to the tattered old book. "You've done this before?"

"this……"

The researcher adjusted his glasses, noticing a hint of displeasure in Taki Akihisa's gaze.

"In short, if you have any questions, just ask me. I'll tell you everything I can."

"You are..." Hiroko Asami hesitated, scrutinizing the researcher. "Professor Kimura, who disappeared during the demon incident?!"

Do you know me?

The researcher was stunned for a moment, his face contorted with excitement.

"So that's how it is, you're from outside too! We've finally found you! Quick, take me out of here!"

No matter how many days have passed, people outside still haven't forgotten him.

"Professor Kimura..."

Taki Akihisa awkwardly interrupted the researcher who was crying tears of joy.

"We got here by accident, and we don't have a way to get back yet!"

"..."

The archives room fell silent. The researcher stared at Taki Akihisa with bloodshot eyes. After a long while, he let out a long sigh and slumped to the ground, looking as if he had aged several years in an instant.

"I was overthinking it. I used to think someone would come to rescue me, but now that I'm all alone, there's no hope at all..."

"It's not entirely hopeless," Taki Akihisa continued. "If the dungeon passage is officially completed, there might be a chance to get out. Originally, we were planning to enter a small dungeon with a stable passage."

"Really?" The researcher's eyes lit up again.

"Of course it's true. Our disposable shuttle should be able to return to normal by then."

"A disposable shuttle?"

"It's a device that allows us to return to our world. Everyone has one... Oh right, Professor, you don't seem to have one."

"you……"

The researcher glanced at Taki Akihisa again, feeling breathless and experiencing sharp pains in his chest. He frantically searched for medicine, his hands trembling.

"Don't worry, since the specific situation is still uncertain, we are also looking for other solutions," Taki Akihisa patted the researcher on the back. "Based on past experience, as long as we can find a way to clear this instance, we will all be able to get out."

"Passed through customs?"

The researcher, who had finally managed to swallow the medicine, looked on suspiciously.

"Just think of this world as a game instance," Taki Akihisa said, pointing to the ancient book. "Theoretically, you can clear the game as long as you defeat the final boss of this instance."

"The final boss?"

The researcher calmed down completely and returned his gaze to the tattered ancient book.

"If there is a boss in this world, it should be Orochi. The power of modern demons seems to originate from Orochi, but a long time ago, Orochi was divided into several parts and suppressed beneath this land..."

"Do we have to release the giant snake to completely destroy it?" Taki Akihisa asked, raising an eyebrow.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

The researcher nearly suffered another heart attack.

"Forget about breaking the seal; we're already struggling to deal with those demonic monsters. If we add the giant snake to the mix, do we even have a chance of survival?"

"What should we do then?" Taki Akihisa continued to ponder. "If all else fails, we'll just have to wait for the dungeon passage to be completed. At that time, there should be level 6 knights leading the way..."

"A level 6 knight? Is the outside world developing that fast?"

The researchers sighed with regret.

I've only been in this world for a year, but I feel like I'm almost out of touch with the outside world.

"However, if we really want to deal with Orochi, we'll probably need to find someone to help us," the researcher said, straightening his posture and no longer as assertive as before when dealing with Hiroko Asami and the other person. "Although he is only a Level 5 Knight, he is still part of the power system of this world and has quite a few connections in this Warrior Branch."

Hiroko Asami and Akihisa Taki exchanged a glance.

This person seems to have misunderstood something.

There are indeed level 6 knights outside, but there are only two of them, including level 5 knight Shen Yong.

Level 4 knights have only just become mainstream and are still considered high-end combatants.

……

Ancient.

Xia Chuan successfully met the protagonist of the current instance, Ancient Hibiki.

However, it's not quite the same as what the monk said.

Although Hibiki has retired and even handed over his transformation tools to others, trying his best to get rid of everything related to demons, after a friendly exchange, I am still willing to help him complete his training.

"Sorry... do you really want to become Hibiki?"

Hibiki covered his swollen mouth, completely unable to comprehend Natsukawa's thoughts.

"Everyone becomes a demon to survive. Whether you can become a demon or not is not important. The key is to have the power to fight against the demonized monsters. You now..."

Xia Chuan is now a humanoid demon.

"Of course I want to."

Xia Chuan asked questions while trying to introduce elements.

"I heard that you chose to retire and open a blacksmith shop here because your disciple died in training?"

The disciples of the ancient Hibiki were called Warriors, and the future Warriors organization should have originated from this.

"Yes, right?"

Hibiki awkwardly wiped the tip of his nose, and seeing Natsukawa's actions, he opened his mouth but hesitated to remind him.

"You...you'd better be careful. This area is fire elemental, it might..."

"Bang—!"

Like oil being poured over a raging fire, Xia Chuan burst into flames the moment he activated his elemental power, with flames shooting up several meters high.

Hibiki's pupils dilated, and his body trembled uncontrollably, as if he had returned to the day his disciple perished, and a deep sadness welled up in his heart.

It was only when they tried to fetch water to put out the fire that they discovered that Xia Chuan seemed to be unharmed.

The fire looked fierce, but it only covered Xia Chuan's body, and even felt like he could control his own body.

"this……"

"Is this a success or a failure?"

Xia Chuan watched the raging fire that instantly burned away his clothes, but he couldn't sense any demonic power.

For him, who possesses Ultra psychic powers, manipulating the elements is not difficult; it's just that he can't complete the last step.

Previously, the power of the White God's light was incompatible with him, but at least it strengthened his body; however, these elements simply could not enter his body.

Is the only way in by shuttle?

Using a shuttle to enter is different from using the main body. The former will automatically construct a body in the instance world, so there should be no system issues.

However, there is also more uncertainty.

Whether we can still enter this instance is a question, and at what point in time we will be able to enter is also a question.

Before the action team, things were fine; with his current lifespan, he could even live directly from ancient times to the modern era.

Things got complicated after the action team.

The timeline once spanned as long as ten thousand years.

"Can I borrow a set of clothes?" Natsukawa shouted at Hibiki, who was standing there dumbfounded, through the raging flames. "They're all burned."

Sorry, I was a little slow because I hadn't figured out how to write Den-O yet. This part will be finished soon.
