Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 556 Interrogation

Freedom Fortress.

Led by the administrator, Komon nervously entered the interrogation room. Three high-ranking members of the TLT organization sat under spotlights, with a huge emblem representing the organization on the wall behind them.

He glanced at it carefully, and the unusual military uniform made him feel a little breathless.

These three elderly men are the highest-ranking officers in charge of the Japanese branch.

"Gumen member, the report says that the newly appeared giant saved you."

"Yes."

Gu Men sat upright with his head bowed, and images of transformation unconsciously surfaced in his mind.

That feeling was exceptionally wonderful, a fantastic experience of spiritual elevation.

"You've mentioned being saved by another Titan, Nexus, several times in the past six months. What are your thoughts on this new Titan?"

The elderly man in the middle had a stern look in his eyes, trying to extract more information from the person involved.

"What do you think they are? What is their relationship?"

"I think..."

"Answer directly!"

"I have no idea."

Gu Men opened his mouth, then lowered his head again.

"At that time... I was also searching for answers, perhaps wanting to change something, hoping that we humans would change something."

"That concludes today's questioning. You may go back and rest."

The officers didn't ask any more questions, but simply left Manager Matsunaga to let Komon leave alone.

In the corridor, Vice Captain Saijo Kaze seemed to have been waiting for a long time. When he saw Komon come out, he didn't say anything, but just gave him a deep look before continuing into the interrogation room.

"It's because of the matter of Mizoroki Shinya."

Captain Kazukura sighed and pressed down on Komon's shoulder.

"Eighteen years ago, Feng's parents died at the hands of alien beasts. Since then, Feng has developed an extreme hatred for alien beasts, especially humanoid alien beasts. That's probably why she risked her life to save you this time."

"The vice-captain, she..."

Komon looked up in surprise, suddenly recalling the attack by Northfil.

Does the vice-captain think he's become a monster?

But why didn't he say anything after he came back?

"Captain," Komon asked anxiously, "what exactly is going on with Mizoroki Shinya? This person...?"

"That happened a year ago."

He Cang's expression was complicated.

"A year ago, Gou Lü Muzhen was still the deputy captain of this team."

"what?"

"When fighting monsters, you might fall into an irrecoverable darkness. Even someone like Mizoroki couldn't escape it, which is why I gave you leave."

He moved his arm away, stared solemnly at Komon, and only returned to the operations room after a long while.

"Be careful, it will be too late to do anything once you are swallowed by darkness."

"Yes."

Komon's expression changed slightly, and countless dark images flashed through his mind. Across time and space, Komon and Komon met each other's cold eyes once again.

Is it dark?

But it was light that chose him.

He was absolutely certain of this.

The belief that this light conveyed to him was far clearer than that of Mr. Himeya.

It is a ray of light that brings hope and new life.

"The lone team member."

Mitsuhiko Ishibori, a teammate, walked by with a cup of coffee and curiously looked at Komon, who had shaken off his slump.

"Is everything alright? I saw you being called in for questioning."

"It's nothing, the officers just want to know some things." Komon came to his senses and smiled at Ishibori Mitsuhiko.

When he first joined the Night Raid Team, only Ishibori gave him a decent impression. The others, especially Saijo Kaze, who was his instructor, and another female team member, were sources of pressure.

"It's good to be back," Mitsuhiko Ishibori said, taking a sip of his coffee. "While you were gone, our A Squad had far fewer opportunities to go on missions."

"Buzz!"

Natsukawa's luminous figure coalesced in Komon's spiritual world, his attention completely drawn to Ishibori Mitsuhiko.

"who is he?"

"It's Ishibori-senpai," Komon thought to himself with a smile as he watched Ishibori Mitsuhiko walk away. "He's the technical expert for our team, and he always has a special understanding of Alien Beasts."

"Don't have too much contact with him."

Xia Chuan seemed to see an abyss of darkness.

The other party is the "unknown hand" hidden within the defense organization, the future Zaki.

"Huh? Why?" Komon asked, bewildered. "Is there a problem with Ishibori-senpai?"

"He's smart, just consider it a secret for me," Xia Chuan explained casually. "If my existence were exposed, your situation would be quite bad. You should be familiar with the organization's methods by now."

Kazuki Komon is not good at hiding himself, and knowing Mitsuhiko Ishibori's identity will only make things worse.

"I see."

Komon recalled the physical examination the organization had conducted on him and nodded cautiously with lingering fear.

"I will be much more careful from now on."

"Just be normal."

Xia Chuan shook his head secretly.

This copy also felt very different from the Ultraman Nexus he knew. For example, those high-ranking members of the organization seemed to have an exceptionally deep understanding of Ultraman and light, and the code name "Nexus," which means "bond," appeared early on.

Before questioning Komon, the three of them, thinking it was a secret, talked about "Shunichi Maki," the first person to transform into Ultraman five years ago, providing him with a lot of information.

The visitor anticipated the transmission of light from the outset, and therefore created a special file for the Japanese screening.

Almost all the suitable individuals were sucked into the organization. Komon, as an ordinary rescue police officer, was able to join the Night Raid Team despite his poor training performance. One of the reasons was that his suitable individual stats far exceeded those of ordinary people.

Although they did not ask directly, the three executives still suspected that Komon had become the successor and might become the new Ultraman in the future.

This is also why Ishibori Mitsuhiko came to contact Komon.

The base was practically a sieve; all secrets were exposed to the darkness, and the intelligence system served the dark forces entirely.

There's nothing else to worry about, but right now he doesn't want to be exposed to the darkness, at least not to be on the other side's death list.

In the current instance, he has almost no way out.

If he could, he wouldn't even want Komon to stay with the Night Raid team.

Now we can only accumulate strength as quickly as possible, strive to protect ourselves before the darkness returns, and then find a path to other Ultra dungeons.

"Lypia".

Unbeknownst to him, Gu Men walked to the dam above the base. Gazing at the ripples on the tranquil reservoir, he sat down on the water's edge, gently rubbing his fingers against the handmade pendant left by his girlfriend before her death—a rather simple animal figurine "talisman."

"Thank you."

"Hmm?" Xia Chuan was surprised to feel the emotional power transmitted by Komon, and the flashing timer instantly returned to full.

"I understood a lot of things when I saved that girl."

Gu Men took a deep breath and clenched his fist.

"The pain of the past is proof that Riko and I went through it together. I will no longer move forward with confusion. I will live on with Riko's share, striving for others. The past cannot be changed, but the future can."

"Perhaps."

Xia Chuan turned his head away, and the giant's figure disappeared again.

As the former ruler of the Knight World, he was able to change the past and even restart time and space, but now his level is completely insufficient.

While both are dungeons, the Ultra Universe level is clearly extraordinary, and may even be no weaker than the real world.

What is the actual situation now?
