Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 564, First Stage

into the night.

Tokyo.

Natsukawa, possessed by his spirit, followed Komon through the bustling shopping street.

It differs from the rest of the world in many ways, but you can still see many familiar places.

"Why did you suddenly come here?"

Gu Men opened his mouth, unable to resist asking a question.

"I think what Ishibori said makes sense. If we get enough data, the Night Raid's combat power can be significantly improved, and the organization should stop focusing on the Titans."

"I am not like Nexus."

Xia Chuan calmly observed the pedestrians, as if he were a ghost.

The Night Raid's technology relies on the Visitors, and they can replicate the Nexus Destruction Ray through unique vibration waves. Therefore, the organization has always wanted to capture Jun Himeya for research.

Even if he provided his own information, it wouldn't be of much use since he's from a different system.

The person who truly wanted the "Libia" data was probably Mitsuhiko Ishibori.

He must be crazy to voluntarily provide data.

Besides, he himself didn't know much about "Libya".

The final battle in this world makes the situation particularly complicated, much like a stitched-together of giants from different worlds. The giant's body exists independently in another dimension, but after transformation, it leans towards the Giant of Light.

Excuse me, could you please move aside?

A middle-aged man wearing glasses hurriedly made his way through the crowd, nearly bumping into the gate. After apologizing, he quickly looked back as if someone was chasing him. He wiped his sweat and then haphazardly hid in a nearby shop, grabbing a newspaper to cover his tracks.

"I've seen this person before," Komon said in surprise. "He seems to be a friend of Mr. Himeya, and also a reporter."

Do you know me?

The middle-aged man was taken aback. After turning around and seeing Gu Men's face clearly, his brow twitched.

Ever since he discovered the secrets hidden in this city while following in the footsteps of Jun Himeya, he has been trying to uncover the truth. Kazuki Komon is the key figure he finally found, but he has never been able to see him again after leaving the newspaper.

He obtained other clues by chance in the past few days, but the Lonely Gate is still one of the important breakthroughs.

The middle-aged man's eyes darted around, and he quickly pulled the lonely man through the door.

"Didn't you want to know about Himeya's past? I can tell you."

"No need, I'm already..."

"Shh!"

The middle-aged man cautiously observed the crowd, and his gaze narrowed when he spotted several figures in suits who were hiding their shapes.

"Follow me!"

"what?"

"You're being watched; this isn't the place to talk."

As the man ran, he introduced himself, claiming to be Jun Himeya's best friend, named Negi.

After shaking off his pursuers through the alley, Genlai turned to Komon with a serious expression: "I must report the truth no matter what, do you understand? You should understand what I'm saying, right?"

"It's no use, Mr. Genrai," Komon said helplessly. "If you keep contacting me like this, your memory will be erased immediately."

"Were those people the memory police?"

Genlai's expression changed drastically.

"I see. It seems my pursuit of the truth has attracted attention. Damn it, how could they arbitrarily strip someone of their memories!"

"In short, it's better not to come with me."

Komon has already noticed the Memory Police's pursuit.

He wasn't surprised by the organization's surveillance; after all, he was no longer just a simple member of the Night Raid team.

"They came so quickly!"

Gen gritted his teeth, feeling tricky about the memory police's quick reactions.

The organization's level of attention to the isolated group was somewhat unexpected; in just a short while, helicopters were deployed in mid-air to search for them.

It seems that the information on Komon is of extraordinary importance.

"It's truly frustrating, but..."

"Boom—!"

Suddenly a loud bang came from afar, and even the helicopters overhead seemed to be affected, shaking violently before it stabilized after a while.

"What's wrong?"

Komon stared solemnly at the source of the sound, and through Xia Chuan's shared ability, he vaguely sensed the fluctuations of the alien beast in his mind.

"Over there... it looks like a resort." Genlai was also drawn to the view; he could see smoke rising in the distance, suggesting a serious explosion had occurred.

"Beep beep beep!"

The personal terminal "Beregg" in his pocket rang, and Komon avoided Neki and walked to the side to answer the message.

"Komon," Kazukura said, his expression grim, "Team B had an accident while on a mission at the resort. I hope nothing happened on your end?"

He had great trust in his team members, but the higher-ups clearly had other ideas.

The Night Raid Team A was actually removed from the main combat force and became an auxiliary unit. Even his movements as the captain were monitored.

"I'm fine on my end."

Gu Men subconsciously looked back, only to find that Gen Lai had already run off ahead of him.

They clearly overheard the conversation.

Seeking the truth may be necessary, but can ordinary people really accept the truth?

Moreover, running back to the scene of the incident at this time would be extremely dangerous.

"A lone player!"

A young man in a suit quickly followed the signal from Berreg, and frowned as he looked around after finding that only Gu Men was there.

"Where is that man?"

"They've already left," Komon replied. "They just asked about some things concerning Mr. Himeya."

"Yeah?"

The young man glanced at Gu Men expressionlessly, clearly not believing him.

He had been secretly following and monitoring Komon since the incident involving Riko Saida.

He had always looked down on such weak and incompetent people, and he didn't know why such a person could join the Night Raid Team A Division, and now he had even been chosen by the Titans, who were said to possess power surpassing Nexus and Mephisto.

If it were him in charge...

"snort."

The young man continued his pursuit with a displeased expression, leaving Gu Men completely bewildered.

"That's strange, I don't think I've offended him, have I?" Komon asked uncertainly.

Hiroyuki Misawa.

The information about the young man flashed through Xia Chuan's mind.

Although he is only a memory policeman, his stats are no weaker than those of the Night Raid team members, and he is even ranked high on the list of suitable candidates. He is the future Dark Mephisto II.

It seems that the seeds of darkness have now been sown.

Is Goro Mujin also going to be abandoned?

"Whoosh!"

As Xia Chuan's consciousness merged with Komon's, his body trembled slightly, his eyes glowed red, and his white hair extended as he flashed and disappeared from the spot.

The two police officers behind were shocked and rushed out immediately, but found no trace of him.

"It's...it's appeared!"

"Is it that giant?"

……

The resort is not too far from the city center, and it is located near the mountain area where the three-headed dog alien beast last time was active.

After dismissing the taxi driver, Genlai stared intently at a black vehicle that had passed through the blocked checkpoint.

"This time we must uncover the truth. Just you wait and see!"

"hold head high!"

A long string of strange roars suddenly echoed through the mountains.

Genlai swallowed hard, intending to follow the black car, but out of the corner of his eye he noticed water splashing in the valley stream, as if something was wading through the water.

Soon, footprint-like puddles appeared one after another along the stream bank, and the vegetation was flattened and stretched straight into the forest.

"Gurgle!"

Genlai stood there stunned, momentarily forgetting to take a picture.

"What on earth is that thing? I didn't see anything at all, could it be invisible? Those guys never said that alien beasts had this ability..."

"Mr. Genlai!"

Himeya Jun followed the footsteps and appeared on the bank of the stream, frowning as he called out to Nera.

"It's too dangerous here; we can't continue the investigation!"

"Don't talk nonsense. You're not the only one seeking the truth."

Upon seeing Jun Himeya, she regained her composure and her determination to investigate became even stronger.

"We've come this far, how can we give up..."

"Mr. Genlai!"

Jun Himeya fired directly at the front of Neki.

"Go back, I don't want to see anyone else sacrifice themselves!"

"Himeya..."

Genrai's lips trembled as he stared intently at the unknown short spear in Himeya Jun's hand. Thinking of the other's painful past, he opened his mouth repeatedly.

"Could it be... that all those dreams were real? What did you get from the relics in those dreams? Have you been fighting those guys all along?"

"hold head high--!"

"Hurry up!"

Himeya Jun's expression changed slightly as he walked forward.

The path was draped over and twisted, and several tentacles suddenly shot out, launching an attack like whips.

"Clang!"

Light burst forth from the riverbank, and the Evolution Trustee drew an arc of light in Himeya Jun's hand. The next moment, the silver giant's figure blocked Genrai's path, severing all tentacles before growing even larger and rushing into the invisible void.

Xia Chuan appeared in a flash, pondering and observing the spatial fluctuations.

The progress is too fast.

It seems like Zaki can't wait to end the first phase.

Is it because of this extra factor of his?

However, Hongna's power is clearly not fully mature yet.

"It's you again, you annoying jerk!"

Goroki Makoto, dressed in a black trench coat, emerged from the forest. Although it wasn't the first time he had met Natsukawa, his face still twitched involuntarily as he forcefully pulled the transformation device in his hand to both sides.

"A guy like you shouldn't even exist in this world, just die!"

Xia Chuan's gaze remained calm, and the ring on his hand flashed in sync.

This time, the giant's body did not fly in from the sky, but instead a red light emerged directly from the mountains, and a huge hand reached out from the ground to grab and take off.

Regardless of Zaki's plans, now is not the time for Himeya Jun and Mizoroki Makoto to exit the stage.

"scare!"
