Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 576 A Soft Sound

"hold head high!"

As dusk fell, thick fog rose again from the depths of the mountains, and strange shouts could be faintly heard from within, as if someone was camping in the forest.

Xia Chuan's illusory image coalesced, and he walked through the bushes to the edge of a campsite.

Perhaps because they left in such a hurry, the tent and many other items were left behind, and there were various footprints around.

Even though no one had been seen for a long time, the voices continued to be heard amidst the thick fog.

"call!"

Xia Chuan pressed his finger on the outer footprints, and a massive stream of information flashed by. The next moment, the surrounding mist dissipated, and the past scene reappeared.

What was that sound?

"What is that?"

The camping students were drawn out of their tents by strange noises in the middle of the night. They saw four huge, glowing lanterns emerging from the thick fog. As the sound drew closer, a terrifying silhouette, as tall as a small hill, began to appear. It turned out that the floating giant lanterns were the four eyes of a monster.

Those drawn by the sound all collapsed in agony, and in the end, only one person was seen being dragged away by something spat out of the monster's mouth.

When they woke up during the day, the thick fog had dissipated, and what arrived after they called the police were TLT memory police and armed troops.

"Whoosh!"

Xia Chuan's palm left the ground.

Alien Beasts do not stop evolving because of the death of an individual; data is also constantly being transmitted and optimized.

Until humanity can no longer cope.

This is the real reason for the extinction of civilizations.

"Uncle, are you a police officer?"

The little girl with braided pigtails timidly hid behind a big tree, carrying a food box in her hand, unsure whether she should come out.

However, Xia Chuan happens to be located on the only road that can be passed through.

"Can you see me?" Xia Chuan turned around unexpectedly.

In theory, only those who are capable or related to him, such as Mizoroki Masaya, should be able to see him.

"Hmm," the little girl nodded affirmatively, though she didn't quite understand. "A lot of people came today, saying they're investigating this month's missing persons cases."

"What's wrong with you?"

Xia Chuan's gaze swept over the food box in the girl's hand, wondering why the girl had come to the mountains to eat at this time.

"Mizoroki?" Natsukawa sensed Mizoroki Shinya hiding in a warehouse in the mountains. "You actually delivered food to that man."

The little girl hid the food box behind her back, shook her head blankly, and carefully passed by Xia Chuan, as if afraid that Xia Chuan would snatch the food box away.

"Do I look scary?"

Xia Chuan watched quietly as the little girl ran away, clutching her food, and unconsciously touched his face.

No matter how you look at it, he's much more approachable than Goro Mujin, right?

He doesn't look like a good person, but he's certainly not a suspicious guy.

Or are they avoiding the police?

The town is indeed quite lively today.

Xia Chuan looked back at the foot of the mountain.

Komon and Senju Rei also arrived.

Where is Mitsuhiko Ishibori?

They're still at the base.

He did not continue to attack Senju Rei, but simply allowed Mephisto II to continue his activities.

Has the other party shifted their focus to the visitor's barriers and the River of Oblivion?

An unknown force... this unknown is truly annoying.

However, the River of Oblivion is also his target, which is actually a good thing for him.

"Whoosh!"

Xia Chuan's gaze swept over the Chester fighter jet with its engine roaring overhead, then his attention returned to the thick fog.

The eerie, silent sound continued to echo in the mist.

If you look closely, you'll notice that both the sound and the thick fog are approaching the town at the foot of the mountain.

The more people there are in a place, the stronger the barrier against visitors becomes. The approach of alien beasts indicates that this barrier is gradually weakening.

He didn't have much time left.

The terrifying power sealed by the River of Oblivion is no small matter. It takes sufficient strength to reverse the darkness, otherwise it is very likely to trap oneself and end up benefiting Zaki instead.

Xia Chuan focused his gaze on the warehouse in the woods.

Having gathered the power of knights, he possesses various conceptual abilities comparable to those of gods; the only thing he lacks compared to Zagi is his energy level.

……

"Who?!"

Goroki also rolled to his feet in the makeshift shelter made of burlap, his whole body covered in cold sweat, instinctively sensing dangerous gazes.

However, after checking carefully, they found that it was just a little girl named Riko who brought food.

"Didn't you run into anyone else?" Mizoroki Makoto also pulled Riko behind him.

The sense of crisis has not disappeared.

Riko shook her head and then nodded: "There's a strange uncle, he doesn't seem like a bad person."

"You can't tell a good person from a bad one."

Gou Lümu's expression turned serious. Noticing the approaching white mist outside the warehouse, his fingers involuntarily tightened.

"I'll go check the situation. You hide first, and don't go out no matter what happens."

After realizing he had caused the girl's father's death, Goroki didn't know how to face the family.

He didn't expect to be forgiven, but he was thinking of doing something at least. In the end, it was this child who saved him from starvation.

"You're really good at hiding," Hiroyuki Misawa chuckled as he emerged from the white mist. "Look at you now, you're a disgrace to me, the second Mephisto!"

"You're just like I used to be, Misawa," Goroki said in a low voice as he walked out of the warehouse, "your eyes have been blinded by darkness. If this continues, you'll only become a puppet!"

"A doll?"

Hiroyuki Misawa turned his cold gaze to behind Mizoroki and laughed loudly.

"This child was your toy, wasn't he? What? Now you've repented and want to atone for your sins?"

Goroki was startled and turned around to find that Riko had not hidden, but was standing blankly at the warehouse entrance.

"Want to know who killed your father?" Hiroyuki Misawa asked with amusement. "That's right, it was..."

"shut up!"

Gou Lümu was so angry that his voice trembled.

"Come at me if you have a problem!"

"Feeling guilty?"

Hiroyuki Misawa slightly moved his neck, and with a hint of sarcasm, suddenly flashed in front of Riko.

"No wonder you were abandoned; you actually cared about such trivial things. I'm different. My goal is to plunge this world into darkness, so I'm stronger than you!"

"What do you want to do?" Goroki's breathing quickened.

"Of course, I'll carry on your dark game."

Hiroyuki Misawa grinned and pressed down on the girl's head.

"But this time, the toy has been replaced by yourself instead of the 'Isolated Gate.' Consider it a funeral for the first Mephistopheles; the future belongs only to me!"

"stop!"

Despite the pain, Mizoro rushed toward the warehouse, but was easily pushed away by Hiroyuki Misawa. When he looked again, Misawa had already disappeared into the thick fog with the girl.

Compared to the other party, he is now just a piece of trash.

"Mizawa!!"

"Hahaha, I'll turn her into a doll, and you'll die at the hands of a doll!"

"asshole!!"

"Whoosh!"

As the void particles converged, Xia Chuan's figure appeared at the edge of the white mist. He calmly watched Mizoroki Shinya, who was pounding the ground in pain, and after pausing for a moment, he transformed into a stream of light and followed Misawa Hiroyuki.

"It's Dad's voice!"

Led by Hiroyuki Misawa, the little girl Riko wanders into the white mist, completely unaware of the colossal beast towering high within it.

"Go on, you'll see Daddy when you get there." Hiroyuki Misawa smiled and released the girl. Just as he was about to examine his masterpiece, a chill suddenly ran down his spine.

That feeling again!

Hiroyuki Misawa frowned, his neck stiffening as he looked around as if someone was staring at him, yet he couldn't see anything.

What exactly happened?
