Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 3 Policeman

"Please!" The middle-aged man looked desperately at the motionless Xia Chuan. "I can't die here! Please..."

Xia Chuan clenched his fingers tightly, as if the shouts of the boss and the middle-aged man beside him were blocked out, and his memory returned to 5 years ago in a continuous buzzing.

"Human lifespan is incredibly short. Are you really going to sacrifice yourself to save him, Ultraman?"

"I want him to live, and that's what his companions wished for too. I want to respond to them."

"Do you really like humans that much?"

"Buzz!"

"Ultraman..."

Xia Chuan's gaze flickered violently. He gritted his teeth, ignored the boss's shouts, and quickly stepped forward to pull the middle-aged man who was about to be dragged back.

"pay close attention!"

"Whoosh!"

Almost the instant Xia Chuan made his move, the light wave-shaped barrier suddenly expanded and solidified completely several meters behind him.

The barrier seemed to have included him as one of the oddballs.

Not surprising at all.

The alliance cares more about trapping the monster than the lives of a few victims.

Xia Chuan looked directly at the green-skinned monster that was still laughing strangely, took another deep breath, and did not panic like the middle-aged man.

Perhaps it was because the pressure from the monster was too great, but at this moment he actually sensed a trace of Ultraman's light power.

Although pitifully weak, Ultraman's power has not completely disappeared.

There's hope...

"call!"

The green-skinned monster shifted its blood-red gaze.

Without thinking too much, Xia Chuan instinctively crossed his arms to block, but his body was still sent flying by a green tentacle whip, tumbling several times before finally coming to a stop after crashing into the wheels of a car parked on the side of the road.

"Bang!"

Well!

Feeling the tearing pain in his arms and body, Xia Chuan groaned and struggled to lift his head. He saw the strange man holding the middle-aged man high up by the neck and hurriedly tried to sense the faint strength in his body again.

He seemed to have grasped some of Ultraman's emotions.

At times like these, neither Shinji Kaminari nor Ultraman would stand idly by and allow humans to be killed by monsters right before their eyes.

Although this human had no relation to him.

This special feeling, this belief, is the light.

It is the light that this universe lacks.

"Whoosh!"

Xia Chuan gripped firmly, as if reaching into another dimension.

A cylindrical beta wand appeared in his palm, but as soon as he pressed the transformation button, the glimmer of light that had just gathered collapsed as if glass had shattered for no reason.

Failed?

"Gurgle!"

A strong feeling of suffocation washed over him, and Xia Chuan felt as if he were sinking into the deep sea. The boundless pressure around him made it impossible for him to breathe. Although he still had the power of light in his body, no matter how much he struggled, he could not break free from the restraints.

In a daze, a giant silver figure stood tall in Xia Chuan's field of vision.

There was no glowing timer on its chest, typical of Ultraman; it simply stood outside an invisible barrier, coldly looking down from outer space.

Zoffy?

"Bang--!"

A loud explosion startled Natsukawa awake. When he came to his senses, he found two unfamiliar Kamen Riders with animal-like features on the street.

The green-skinned monster seemed to have been dealt with in the explosion, while the middle-aged man lay panting a meter away.

A Kamen Rider pulls out a communicator and records: "Mission complete. 'Green Thorn' successfully defeated. Danger level 2. Two bystanders rescued..."

"It's you again!" another Kamen Rider beside him shouted angrily. "Despicable! You deliberately stole my target!"

"Heh," the Kamen Rider in front scoffed dismissively, "You're no better yourself. You were here from the beginning, never lifting a finger to help. Isn't it despicable to deliberately boost your score like that?"

"you!"

"Hey, cheer up!"

Xia Chuan took a breath and hurriedly ran to the middle-aged man's side. When he saw the huge hole in the man's abdomen through the large pool of blood, his eyes narrowed.

With injuries like these, there's virtually no chance of survival.

The middle-aged man's current state is almost indistinguishable from a final burst of energy before death.

"Thank you," the middle-aged man said, still seemingly unaware of what was happening, smiling palely at Xia Chuan. "You don't seem like an ordinary person?"

"I am... a public security police officer."

Xia Chuan looked away, his expression somewhat unnatural.

"Hang in there a little longer, the ambulance will be here soon."

"ambulance?"

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, then belatedly looked down and saw blood all over the ground, and his face turned deathly pale.

"I……"

"Feel sorry."

Xia Chuan felt a mix of emotions, deeply aware of the fragility of human life.

The feeling of watching oneself walk towards death was obviously unpleasant, but he didn't know how to comfort himself for a moment.

"Is there anything else you wish for?"

"Officer, I should have listened to you. If I had been more careful, the outcome might have been different."

The middle-aged man was on his deathbed, his life suddenly sank to rock bottom, and even speaking became extremely difficult. In the end, he could only tremble as he pulled out his wallet from his pocket.

"My son is turning 15 soon. If it's convenient, could you help me buy him a birthday present? Taro has always wanted a Gundam model."

"no problem."

Xia Chuan took the wallet in a deep voice and watched as the middle-aged man, along with the surrounding barrier, turned into particles and disappeared into the air.

This is the final function of the barrier.

The battlefield area is restored, and the dead are decomposed and recycled to avoid infection-related crises.

The middle-aged man probably knew this, which is why he handed over his wallet to him.

"Damn it, one of them died."

The lead Kamen Rider noticed the commotion, and his initially cheerful mood turned sour.

"Hey, this man's death has nothing to do with me. You're in charge of the report."

"What does this have to do with me?" The second Kamen Rider next to him gloated. "You killed Green Thorn, so of course you're responsible for the death."

Are these people really Kamen Riders?

Xia Chuan's gaze swept over the two arguing riders, pausing slightly on their transformation drivers at their waists.

The Desire Driver from "Kamen Rider Goku" belongs to the same foundation as the Kamen Riders on TV today.

It can be said to be a mass-produced type of rider, but its combat power is not weak. I remember that there was also a very powerful transformation item in "Kamen Rider Goku Fox".

This can be seen from how easily the opponent killed the monster just now.

If he also had this kind of driver...

Without getting involved in their argument, Xia Chuan endured the pain, propped himself up, and swayed slightly as he left the scene.

That blow from the green monster was really bad; he'll probably need to go to the hospital.

The matter of the middle-aged man's wallet can only be put on hold for now; at least we need to find out the other party's identity and address first.

"Huh?" The first Kamen Rider looked at Natsukawa's slightly disheveled white shirt and back with surprise. "I know him. He used to be the strategic planning officer for the Futo Team. I heard he came from the Metropolitan Police Department's Public Security Bureau. Why is he living in a place like this?"

"So what if you come from the Metropolitan Police Department's Public Security Bureau?"

The second Kamen Rider glanced sideways at Natsukawa as he walked up to the second floor of the dilapidated izakaya.

"That's all in the past. This era belongs to us Kamen Riders."

"Thump!"

"Are you alright, Kaminari?"

At the izakaya, the owner waited until everything was over before coming out. The first thing he did was go upstairs and knock on the door to ask Natsukawa about the situation.

"It's nothing, I just applied some liniment."

Xia Chuan did not open the door. After quickly treating his abrasions, he quietly looked at the Beta Magic Wand in his hand, which had turned into fine sand and disintegrated.

At that time, his body was clearly transforming towards the light, but it was intercepted by another force and directly returned to its original form.

Although no sound was heard, the giant silver creature should be Zoffy, who had spoken with Ultraman.

That gaze was exactly like that of a higher life form looking at a lower life form.

It's terrifying.

Completely different from Ultraman.

Even he, who had never been afraid of anything, couldn't help but tremble a little.

"call!"

Xia Chuan remained silent, letting the fine sand slip through his fingers, and turned his gaze to the night sky outside the window.

The barrier in this world not only isolates humanity from the universe, but also cuts off the possibility of humanity's super-evolution into a life form of light, even if he only wants to transform by using Ultraman's light.

but.

It wasn't entirely without gains; at least the inexplicable Ultraman fighting evolution system deep within my mind seemed to have been activated.

Pending claim: Unlimited Transformation Body Level 1 (Selectable from all Ultraman/all Kamen Riders)

"Kamen Rider, I guess." Faced with the information flooding his mind, Natsukawa reluctantly chose.

In this world, he might have a chance to get his hands on the Kamen Rider Driver, but the Ultraman Transformation Device is almost impossible; for now, he can forget about it altogether.

Moreover, Kamen Rider's high-end combat power can reach the cosmic level, and the requirements are much lower than those of Ultraman, so there may be a chance to break the blockade in the future.

"Whoosh!"

……

Is that all?

I didn't feel much, but my body felt much more comfortable, and the pain was significantly reduced.

Is it because of one's constitution?

Xia Chuan pondered and scratched his fingers.
