Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 433 My Thousand-Foot Dragon

"I've heard of you too."

Xia Chuan casually put down the Genesis Driver.

It's not that this thing is unusable, it just lacks the necessary energy to lock the seed.

"Blood Lurker, former astronaut Soichi Ishido, you should be loyal to the Western Capital now. Aren't you afraid of being wanted by the authorities for coming to the Eastern Capital at this time?"

"Hehe, Dongdu doesn't have time to bother with me."

Xue Qian leisurely handed over a business card.

"Think about it. I really admire your abilities, teacher. After all, as far as I know, there are no more than five scientists who can independently develop a transformation system, and you, Kakuju-sensei, are the one who is completely independent among them."

To achieve this level of completion without any prior reference, teacher, you are a genius among geniuses! I believe our collaboration will allow you to fully utilize your talents.

"Whoosh!"

Xue Qian didn't stay long. He patted Xia Chuan on the shoulder and disappeared into smoke again, seemingly having only taken a short break to come over.

The Western Capital, now stripped of its Pandora's box, must be far from peaceful.

Although everything was part of Bloodseeker's plan, West City Heavy Industries was unaware of this and was only eager to reclaim Pandora's Box.

"These things have nothing to do with me."

Xia Chuan put away the Blood Stealth business card and stood up to consider his next move.

His main task is to pave the way for the arrival of his true form, and contacting Eberst is a good option.

To be honest, he no longer has any hope of getting rid of the tattoos and fighting, so it's inevitable that he will take action himself.

Xia Chuan calmly walked to the window in the corridor.

As dusk fell and the sky darkened, most of the research institute staff had already left.

As the newly appointed director of the research institute, he was subtly isolated.

If Xue Qian saw this, he would probably be even more satisfied and more confident in winning over this "genius scientist".

……

Nascita Coffee Shop, Tokyo.

"W-What do you mean? Suddenly you're saying I'm not human!"

"Calm down, Wan Zhang!"

"Calm down my ass!"

Panting, Wan Zhanglong rushed to Zhan Tu and, in shock and anger, checked the files the short-haired woman had found on the computer.

"Do you really want to believe this kind of thing? Who knows where this information came from..."

"This was given to me by the director of the Tokyo Advanced Materials Research Institute," the short-haired woman, Takikawa Sawa, explained weakly. "He said it was research data from Sento's father."

"War Rabbit's father?"

My voice trembled as I abruptly slammed the computer shut.

"Who knows if it's true or false, and what evidence is there...?"

"Do you remember what happened before?" Kiryu Sento asked thoughtfully, crossing his fingers. "Research on Mars didn't just start 10 years ago; an unmanned probe successfully landed on Mars as early as 23 years ago."

"So what?" Wan Zhanglong's lips were dry.

He is exactly 23 years old now.

"When that unmanned probe returned to Earth, your mother was on guard duty," Zhan Tu said helplessly. "She suddenly fainted during her guard duty, just like Misora ​​was possessed by the Martian princess."

"After being sent to the hospital, it was discovered that she was one month pregnant. However, the baby was born smoothly a month later. After examination, unknown cell tissue was found, and then the baby was sent to the Namba Heavy Industries Comprehensive Scientific Research Institute."

Zhan Tu turned the computer back on.

"That's where my father conducted his research in this report... Besides, don't you find it strange? Why are you so special? First, you were wrongfully imprisoned, and now your danger level has been raised to an unusual level."

"Namba Heavy Industries?"

My gaze flickered slightly at Wan Zhanglong.

"I don't remember any of it..."

"It's said that the store manager came to see you after the Tianbi incident, and your memory started to become blurry from that time on," Zhan Tu said solemnly. "Perhaps the boss erased your memory."

"That's absurd," Banjou Ryuga retorted with a dry laugh. "Even so, that doesn't mean I'm not human, does it? I don't have any superpowers!"

"The report says that the extraterrestrial life form's power might have been reset at birth, and in fact, the power you displayed in Pandora's Tower today is also abnormal..."

"Enough! It must be that director's fabrication!"

Wan Zhanglong slammed the door shut and left without waiting for anyone's reaction, then quickly overturned the table and chairs.

"I'm not an alien!"

"lofty!"

"Let him calm down."

Sento stopped his companion who wanted to chase after them, shook his head, and began to review the data files again.

It's not just the research report on Wan Zhang, but also a large amount of other materials; it's practically a complete database. Even without considering the encrypted content, the number of files that can be directly accessed is astonishing.

"Why did the director... give us Dad's research data?" Sento asked, puzzled.

"He said it was an investment," the short-haired woman said with a worried expression. "I don't know why, but he seems to know a lot about us, and I think he overheard your conversation when he came here before."

Zhan Tu raised an eyebrow: "He's been here before?"

"It's strange, really. That guy who just showed up for coffee out of nowhere suddenly became the new director."

The short-haired woman seemed to wake up belatedly and hurriedly rummaged through her handbag.

"Oh, right, I also have his information here."

"Kakuju... Yuya," Sento took the documents and noticed that it was the director of the research institute personally appointed by the Prime Minister of Tokyo. He immediately frowned. "A scientist?"

Even in these special times, not just anyone can become the director of a top research institute in Tokyo.

"Isn't there more comprehensive information?"

"No, there's no trace of it at all." The short-haired woman opened her mouth, but in the end, she didn't reveal her suspicion that Xia Chuan might be a spy.

There's no reason for a spy to hide their identity to this extent; they should at least have a fake identity.

"That's strange," Zhan Tu said, looking even more confused. After reviewing the data again, his gaze turned to the password input field. "Does it want me to help decrypt it?"

……

After running out of the coffee shop, Wan Zhanglong wandered aimlessly under the night sky, feeling somewhat lost in the face of the sudden turn of events.

"You're kidding, right? You're saying I'm not human..."

After throwing stones into the river for a while, Wan Zhanglong's gaze shifted, as if he had thought of something, and he suddenly propped himself up.

"It's all that director's fault! I'm going to find him..."

"A dragon soaring ten thousand feet high."

Xia Chuan went up the steps to the riverbank and waved to it.

"Does it really matter whether we're human or not?"

"Is that even a question?"

Wan Zhanglong responded subconsciously, but after turning his head and clearly seeing Xia Chuan's figure, a fire suddenly ignited in his heart.

"So you're the director? Pretending to be a customer at the coffee shop, and then pulling out research data on Sento's father... what exactly are you trying to do?"

"Investment, investment, I admire your talent."

Xia Chuan stopped and extended his right hand with a smile.

"Let me introduce you to the new genius scientist, Hiroya Kakui."

"Huh?" Banjō Ryūga slapped Natsukawa's arm away, looking suspicious. "Who wants to know you? Besides, you don't look like a scientist at all!"

"How can it be made to look like it?"

Xia Chuan withdrew his right hand, unconcerned, and the overflowing Collapse Source Virus silently merged into Wan Zhanglong's body.

There is also research on the Collapse Virus in this world, and Rider Build even went to the world of Exide to collect components.

However, as the strongest Origin Body in the world, he left a backup plan on Wan Zhang Long Ga, which almost no one would notice.

"Let's go back."

Xia Chuan turned and left with a red glow in his eyes.

"Even if you're not human, it's no big deal. You're still a Kamen Rider."

"You haven't experienced this kind of thing, of course you'd say that."

Wan Zhanglong grumbled as he watched Xia Chuan disappear into the darkness. Though he was still resentful, he was surprisingly much more relaxed.

"What a strange fellow. The director himself came all this way just to say a few words."
