Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 437 The Director is Also an Alien

Outside Dongdu University Hospital.

Xia Chuan was stopped by Eberl as soon as he left.

"Doesn't Professor Kakuju find it strange?" Ebert asked with a smile. "You could easily retrieve Pandora's Box, yet you're doing all this unnecessary stuff. You'll soon find out. It'll also be a good opportunity for you to see my true power. The Evolution Driver is much more powerful than you imagine."

Xia Chuan remained calm: "That document from the research institute was shown to me on purpose, wasn't it?"

"That was all Katsuragi-sensei's plan," Ebert said dismissively. "It was originally intended for Sento. Katsuragi-sensei is a true scientist..."

"Ebolt!"

Wan Zhanglong also chased after him out of the hospital. After glancing at Xia Chuan, he turned to Eberte in a deep voice.

"If we agree, will you really cure Zhan Tu?"

"certainly."

Eberl scratched the tip of his nose, giving the solemn-faced Wan Zhanglong a playful look.

"But you're really something, actually caring so much about the person who wants to kill you."

"W-What do you mean?"

Wan Zhanglong, alert, assumed a defensive stance, but Ebert showed no intention of continuing the conversation, simply putting his hands in his pockets and stepping aside.

"Let's go, let's finish the transaction quickly, or we'll be in trouble if we miss the deadline."

"You better keep your word!"

Wan Zhanglong gritted his teeth helplessly, and as he was about to lead the way, he seemed to remember something, opened his mouth and turned to Xia Chuan.

"Director, could you please look after Misora?"

"no problem."

Xia Chuan casually agreed, but only after Wan Zhanglong and Eberth had walked far away did he ponder and lower his gaze.

It seems that Ebert doesn't want him to have too much contact with the main characters.

A short while later, the long-haired knight returned to the hospital in silence with a box of energy bottles. He didn't greet Natsukawa, while the short-haired woman, with the help of the medical staff, transferred Kiryu Sento, whose condition had worsened again, to the ambulance.

"Thank you for your trouble, Director." The short-haired woman lowered her head apologetically. If she hadn't gone to the research institute, Xia Chuan wouldn't have been involved.

"fine."

Xia Chuan stretched his body and returned to the ward alone.

With no doctors or nurses available, only the unconscious Misora ​​Ishidou was temporarily placed in the emergency room.

He doesn't want to get involved in Eberl's affairs right now.

The other party's plan is simply to make Wan Zhanglong meet the danger level requirements of the container, and then collect all the energy bottles to complete Pandora's Tower and obtain the evolution activation device "Evolution Trigger".

It was a special accessory that could control the magic tower to destroy the earth while also taking the evolution driver to the next level.

However, given the grand promises made by Shinobu Katsuragi, the possibility of Ebert destroying Earth is extremely slim, and with a danger level of only 5.0, it is not enough to activate the "evolution trigger".

He has absolutely no need to rush.

"You're probably not human either, are you?"

Misora ​​Ishidou, who was in a deep sleep, suddenly opened her eyes and stared at Natsukawa by the window. Her pupils did not have a green light, but she was clearly not the girl herself.

The Martian princess did not completely disappear.

"Who exactly are you? Why are you following Ebert?"

"I don't understand what you're saying. How am I not human?" Xia Chuan turned around in surprise.

This old woman was actually faking her death; even he was fooled.

"I misjudged you at first too," Misora ​​Ishidou calmly withdrew her gaze, "Your concealment was indeed quite perfect, managing to fool both me and Ebert at the same time, but..."

"call--!"

The bracelet on Shi Dong Miku's left arm lit up, and her body erupted with golden light once again. The powerful force shattered all the glass in the window behind Xia Chuan, and the shards fell down with a clatter. Only Xia Chuan seemed to be swept away by a gentle breeze, with only the tips of her silver hair fluttering slightly.

"Your reaction to the aftershocks was so different from that of a human," Misora ​​Ishidou turned back to Natsukawa, the golden light gradually subsiding. "Ebolt may not have noticed, but I saw it all."

"Just because of this..."

Xia Chuan rubbed his temples helplessly.

He really couldn't control this instinctive urge; by the time he tried to dodge, he was already a beat too late.

He couldn't possibly have deliberately removed his defensive capabilities to conceal them.

"It was my mistake, I will be more careful in the future."

With a light breath, Xia Chuan quickly regained his composure and walked towards Ishido Misora.

This girl in "Tron" should be considered the female lead, but she doesn't want to reveal herself yet.

"I'm sorry, I won't kill you. Please continue to sleep for the next while..."

"etc!"

The Martian Queen seemed to have truly exhausted her strength, and the golden bracelet in which her spirit resided grew increasingly dim.

"We're not enemies. Your planet was probably destroyed by Eberlt too, right?"

"Um?"

"There's only one reason why I deliberately approached Eberl without revealing my identity."

Misora ​​Ishido's voice was affirmative.

"When Mars was destroyed, I, the only survivor, fought with the resolve to die. In the end, I sacrificed my life to destroy the Evolution Driver and separate his body from his soul."

"Ebolt is currently only a part of that extraterrestrial life form. If he were to become the complete form, the consequences would be unimaginable. Although I don't know your purpose, I imagine you wouldn't want to see that happen, would you?"

Xia Chuan stopped in front of the hospital bed, quietly meeting the emotionless gaze of Shi Dong Misora.

He personally hopes that Eberl will become the complete version.

He now needs more power to break through to level eight; if he only has ordinary Eberlite, it will be of very limited help to him.

"cough."

Suppressing his wandering thoughts, Xia Chuan stepped forward, looking down at Shi Dong Misora.

"Perhaps you're right, but what does that have to do with you? With only a broken soul left, you can't even handle Eberl now."

"You'll definitely need my help." Misora ​​Ishidou's expression remained unchanged; she simply closed her eyes again, her power retracting into her wrist bracelet.

Although both were inhabited by humans, this Martian princess's emotions were nowhere near as rich as Ebert's.

"call!"

Xia Chuan stopped his hand above Ishidou Misora's head, silently frowning, but ultimately couldn't bring himself to press it down.

He didn't know enough about TRON and didn't know if the Martian Queen still had any use, so it was indeed difficult to take action directly.

Damn it.

After a moment of emotional turmoil, Xia Chuan could only turn a blind eye and leave the ward.

I wish I hadn't come.

If it's just for Kiryu Sento, he could definitely save the day at a crucial moment later.

"ah--!"

Behind her, Misora ​​Ishidou suddenly shouted and sat up. Natsukawa, who had just reached the door, was almost startled, thinking that the Martian Queen was about to unleash her powers again. But when she turned around, she realized that it was just the main character regaining consciousness.

It was as if he had just had a nightmare; his face was covered in cold sweat from fright.

"woke up?"

"I-I'm sorry," Ishidou Misora, having recovered her strength, patted her chest in a light breath. Noticing Natsukawa's gaze, she looked down in a panic. "Where are Banjou and the others?"

When the Martian Queen possessed her body, her consciousness was not completely suppressed, and she still vaguely remembered the time she was possessed. But because of this, she always felt a great terror when facing Xia Chuan alone.

The director of the research institute was also an alien, something she had never imagined before.

If other people knew...

"They went to make a deal with Ebert," Xia Chuan replied gently, "Are you alright?"

"Huh?!" Misora ​​Ishidou trembled, keeping her head down. "I don't know anything, and I won't say anything. Please don't kill me!"

"..."

Xia Chuan suddenly stopped in a hurry to leave.
