Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 356 Game World

School villa.

Xia Chuan temporarily ignored the schemes of the other players and returned to his study, where he opened the cartridge case he had previously obtained from Dan Masamune's office.

The Game God Virus is itself a collection of all the Collapse Source Viruses.

Therefore, theoretically, the patient data that disappeared in this world due to the Collapse Virus is basically stored in these special cartridges.

"Click!"

Natsukawa turned around, took out the second-generation fault driver that imprisoned Dan Kuroto, and once again digitized and entered the game world.

Before we wrap things up, there are still some things that need to be verified.

Make sure that after completing "Chronicles", you can truly save those patients who have disappeared.

Otherwise, given Dan Masamune's history of madness, he might very well drag everyone down with him.

"What do you want to do?"

Dan Kuroto snapped out of his daze at the sudden change in scenery and looked warily at Natsukawa, who was standing in front of him.

"Don't expect me to make you any more cassette tapes unless you let me out..."

"Lead the way," Natsukawa said, pointing the malfunctioning driver at Dan Kuroto. "You should know where the data on the missing people is, right?"

"Well."

Dan Kuroto's expression changed slightly, and he raised his hands in surrender to avoid the malfunctioning drive.

"Of course I know, I'm the real game administrator, but do you think taking you there will make me go?"

"hurry up!"

Xia Chuan braced against Dan Lidou's back.

"You probably only have one life now..."

"This way!"

Dan Kuroto covered his mouth in shock, entering the game world with a cold sweat on his face. He only spoke cautiously after he noticed that Natsukawa had shifted his attention.

"Let me make this clear first: without the administrator's cartridge, finding the data is useless. The only way is to complete 'Chronicles'..."

"Shut up."

Xia Chuan noticed a group of ordinary Collapse Sources wandering around aimlessly, their movements strange and out of place in the game world.

"These are..."

"They are human data carriers, and can only be revived in the outside world after being unlocked," Dan Kuroto explained. "That guy Dan Masamune actually locked the data in advance. If you want to save them, you must help me get back the administrator privileges."

"Let's talk about it after we clear customs."

Xia Chuan's gaze swept over the wooden-like Collapse Source.

The heads are all orange-yellow alien shapes; only the bodies are recognizable.

Each person's clothes were printed with clues about their identity, which seemed to be related to the patient's memories, and their behavior patterns were also very much like a replica of reality.

"Sizzle!"

Suddenly, a flickering, elusive child-shaped entity caught Xia Chuan's attention.

Like other human Collapse Entities, Child Collapse Entities also maintain a certain behavioral pattern, but their range of activity is wider, as if they are not restricted.

"Whoosh!"

As Xia Chuan approached, the child flashed to the other side again, his body appearing and disappearing, constantly emitting data cubes, but his words were exceptionally clear.

"My dad is a Kamen Rider, a hero to humanity..."

"Strange, what's wrong with this child?" Dan Kuroto asked seriously, deep in thought. "The data stored here... how can it move between different cartridges? There's never been such a case before. Is this a new kind of vulnerability?"

"Damn it! What on earth did that Dan Masamune do to my Chronicle?!"

Natsukawa ignored the annoyed Dan Kuroto and focused his attention on the memory stickers on the child, his pupils dilating slightly.

Frog Knight...

This Collapse Entity is the son of the missing Uncle-face Goto, and also the first infected person, the root cause of the game's invasion of this world.

"My dad is a Kamen Rider, a hero to humanity..."

The child mechanically repeated the words, devoid of any emotion, and remained unchanged even when Xia Chuan grabbed his arm.

"It's no use," Dan Kuroto shook his head, sighed, and crossed his arms. "No matter how special he is, he's just a data carrier. You can't save him."

"Can't be saved?"

Xia Chuan felt a slight sting.

He hated this feeling.

When they first started pursuing evolution, although it was mainly for self-preservation, they did not reject the will of Ultraman.

He also hopes to save the lives he wants to save and become a true Ultraman.

I don't want to be like I was at the beginning, helpless and powerless as I watched Tsugami Taro's father die before my eyes.

"Whoosh!"

Ignoring Dan Kuroto's attempt to dampen his spirits, Natsukawa closed his eyes and began to sense the child's condition.

As the child's elusive body solidified again, a dreamlike memory entered Xia Chuan's mind.

Most of the scenes depicted the child alone watching Goto leave, a deep sense of loneliness that stained the memories gray until he was hospitalized, when they began to shine again.

Emu Hojo's figure unexpectedly appears in her memory, and she becomes a temporary fellow patient with the child, playing the game together.

Gradually, my memory was filled with images of various knights in battle, with occasional glimpses of frog knights on duty.

Soon, all memories vanished, leaving only a brand new game world where the Frog Knight was the protagonist, saving the world.

"So that's how it is."

Xia Chuan opened his eyes again with a slight twitch of his eyelids. The little boy who had been in front of him was nowhere to be found, leaving only a game design book.

No wonder he became the first infected person.

This child connected with the world of games because of loneliness, and even designed his own games.

It's probably no coincidence that Emu Hojo appeared.

"Hmph," Dan Kuroto also saw the game artbook and curled his lip in dissatisfaction, "Not everyone has my talent. In the end, he's only hurting himself. This kid will probably never be able to leave the game world, even if he beats 'Chronicle'..."

"Be quiet."

Xia Chuan looked around before looking down at the picture book.

Isn't evolution itself about turning the impossible into the possible?

If he can't even save a child, what kind of Ultraman is he?

Once you clear the game world and become the master of the dungeon, anything is possible.

"Let's go."

Xia Chuan put away the sketchbook and was the first to exit the game world. The surrounding environment returned to the game's underlying world amidst the fluctuations of block data.

Next, check the game's status to avoid any unexpected situations.

"Um?"

Inside the abandoned, unfinished building, a knight figure has appeared where the Game God was originally conceived. He stands motionless like a statue, allowing the Game God virus to erode the surroundings.

"A brave man?"

Xia Chuan teleported into the unfinished building using digital technology, and the figure of Kamen Rider Hero was clearly reflected in his eyes.

Unlike his basic form, the hero, shrouded in black and purple mist, exudes a dangerous aura. He wears a cloak and Demon King armor on his head and upper body.

Fantasy Player, Level 50.

Using "Explore Fantasy" transforms a hero whose consciousness has been possessed by the Demon King.

Goto did indeed obtain the cartridge.

"Why is the knight here?" Xia Chuan raised his hand to disperse the mist, frowning as he met the fantasy player with bloodshot eyes.

"Logically, only those with the power of the Collapse Source can enter the game world, but Chronos is an exception. Anyone with the power of Chronos can also enter."

Dan Kuroto stroked his chin and followed Natsukawa. After pondering and surveying the scene, his eyes were full of shrewdness.

"Dan Masamune is still alive!"
