Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 581 Urban Legends

"Beep beep!"

late at night.

The once bustling commercial district suddenly saw the appearance of some strange men wearing hooded sweatshirts, their faces hidden as they moved with the crowd, attracting the attention of many amidst the drivers' curses and honking horns.

TLT quickly received the news, and the MP Memory Police, led by Saya Shuto, were the first to be dispatched. However, when they arrived at the scene, they found nothing except for eyewitness reports.

All the strange people vanished overnight, leaving behind only terrifying urban legends.

"Actually, there have been strange rumors about us MPs lately," said Mizuki Nonomiya, an MP girl standing next to Senju Rei, worriedly. "They say there are monsters in the city eating people, and anyone who sees them will have their memories stolen by a one-eyed bird..."

"Although it's always been treated as a joke, if this continues, it might cause panic."

"Wouldn't that be a huge problem?" Chishu Rei pondered.

Because of his relationship with Natsukawa and Komon, he knew TLT very well, and even Ruisheng, who was sent to monitor him, was poached by him.

He couldn't judge TLT's actions in concealing the existence of the alien beasts, but even he found the potential consequences of the truth being exposed terrifying.

If the alien beast were to accumulate enough terrifying power, he might not be able to deal with it even if he risked his life.

Where is Mr. Kaminaga?

Mr. Kaminari is indeed very powerful in the Knight dungeon, but it's hard to say about the Ultra dungeon.

Having inherited Nexus's power, he is no longer as ignorant as he once was.

The Lipia that Mr. Kaminaga embodied was only at the planetary level, far from that level.

Once the alien beasts or the dark forces behind the scenes evolve to that level...

Street corner.

Komon had already woken up. Seeing Senju Rei and the other person walking side by side, he touched his nose and did not approach.

I feel it's not a good time to disturb them.

but……

"Wasn't it said that resolving inner conflicts was the key to the evolution of light?" Komon asked疑惑地问道, "Do we really have to wait for the antidote to come out and cure Rei?"

"It seems we've misunderstood something."

Xia Chuan observed Qian Shulian's expression.

"The current Chishu Rei is not obsessed with living."

"What's his inner conflict?" Komon asked anxiously. "Time might not be enough, right? What if the visitor's barrier disappears..."

Because his vacation was interrupted by Mizuhara Sara, Natsukawa shared his Zero Zone experience with Komon.

TLT's probing, the dark activities, and the alien beasts that suddenly infiltrated the city... Komon is under more pressure than anyone else.

Senju Rei protects humanity, but he must not only protect humanity, but also Senju Rei and Nexus.

"Don't overthink it," Natsukawa said, turning his gaze to Nonomiya Mizuki. "He's not obsessed with living because he has nothing to hold him back, but it's impossible to be completely free of all attachments. The opportunity will come soon. The one you should really worry about is yourself."

"Me?" Komon froze, asking blankly, "Is there something wrong with me?"

"The goal of darkness is to seize Nexus's power, but if your will is not strong enough, darkness will take advantage of your weaknesses."

Xia Chuan glanced at the silent, solitary gate out of the corner of his eye.

Kazuki Komon should be considered his first true human form.

The human body is not merely a container; it needs to rely on willpower to transform light into power.

"In the upcoming battle, you will have to endure more and more, far more than Jun Himeya, far more than Makoto Mizoroki, and far more than your teammates."

Xia Chuan spoke calmly, as if he could see the future.

"No matter what pain or anger you feel, you can't fight like Saijo Kaze by relying on hatred. Only by sticking to yourself can you keep going."

Human beings' strong emotions can amplify their power, but unfortunately the enemy is Zagi, fear, hatred... all of which are resources for darkness.

If Komon were to transform and fight like Saijo Kaze, it's possible that Zagi would turn the tables on him.

"I know."

Komon regained his composure, his gaze hardening once more.

"My promise to Riko will never be tainted by darkness. The hatred may be impossible to eliminate, but I know very well what I rely on in this battle."

"An isolated sect?"

Shiori Hiraki, dressed smartly, walked out of the bar and raised an eyebrow when she saw Komon talking to himself, seemingly lost in thought.

"giant?"

"Hiraki," Komon called out in surprise, snapping out of his daze, "You're on a date here?"

"What? As expected of Komon," Shiori Hiraki said, looking somewhat disappointed. "I came to see a friend, but it seems I got stood up. They haven't shown up for half an hour. As for you... were you following me?"

Hiraki looked suspicious and subconsciously wanted to distance himself from Komon.

"How could that be?" Komon shook his head with a wry smile. "Because there have suddenly been a lot of alien beasts active in the city, I was thinking if there was anything I could do to help."

"Alien beasts? In the city?"

Shiori Hiraki raised her eyebrows again.

"Really? How could there be any alien beasts here? They're usually found in more remote areas..."

"Things are different now."

As Gu Men tried to explain, an alarm-like buzzing sound suddenly rang in his mind, and his perception range was filled with the vibration waves of alien beasts.

How could that be?

"call!"

A fragrant breeze blew through the tunnel under the moonlight, and soon the hooded man was seen helping a young woman across the street corner. Shiori Hiraki, who had been looking at him with suspicion, suddenly changed her expression and rushed out without even saying hello.

"Akiko!"

"etc!"

Komon stared intently at the tunnel entrance and noticed a large gathering of alien beast reaction sources. By the time he realized what was happening and tried to stop Hiraki Shiori, it was too late. He could only dodge past the oncoming vehicles to catch up.

Slightly different from other compatible individuals, whether it was due to his own abilities or because Lipia was special, his physical strength was not greatly enhanced. He only possessed superpowers and immortality, and for a time, he was left behind by Shiori Hiraki.

Excuse me, could you please move aside?

After avoiding a group of drunk office workers, Komon anxiously chased after them into the tunnel.

Compared to the outside, the fragrance was several levels stronger, so much so that the surrounding area was shrouded in a layer of pink mist.

Shiori Hiraki had long since disappeared, and there was no sound of her coming from anywhere.

Oops!

With no response to his inner cries for Lypia, Gumen had no choice but to grit his teeth and venture deeper into the tunnel.

Despite their subtlety, the threats are everywhere, so numerous they're enough to make your scalp crawl.

When he doesn't transform, he is still human.

"Tick-tock!"

A drop of putrid slime formed a thread and fell into a puddle. Several strange figures overlapped, and Shiori Hiraki, who had inadvertently inhaled the fragrance, was unable to lean against the wall. Not only did she fail to save her friend Akiko, but she also fell into the puddle herself.

Why are there so many alien beasts in the city?

That's right, it's an alien beast.

Even at the worst point, it was just that some people were controlled by the alien beasts, but just now he lifted the hood of one of the monsters, and the shadows were full of disgusting cellular tissue.

Thinking of the news she heard from Komon, Shiori Hiraki felt a pang of regret and could only hope that Komon would report it in time or that she could once again rely on the power of Lipia.

Lipia will probably make a move, right?

"Hiraki!"

Komon strode quickly through the fog and saw a group of hooded monsters; his eyes narrowed sharply.

"This is……"

"Komon," Shiori Hiraki called out weakly, leaning against the wall as she regained some strength, "Hurry up and switch to Lipia, you can't handle these guys!"

"what?"

"Huh? What?"

Seeing Komon's dawdling, Shiori Hiraki's expression stiffened.

"No way? Don't tell me Lipia isn't here at a time like this! Oh no, get out of here!"

"These guys seem to only target women."

Komon looked past Shiori Hiraki at the young women who had been abducted in the mist.

He wasn't worried about his own safety; the key was how to save people.

It would be too late by the time the night raid team arrived.

"Idiot! What are you still hesitating about?" Shiori Hiraki said anxiously, "If you get stuck here too..."

"roar!"

The strange men who had kidnapped the women all gathered inside the tunnel, and the entrances and exits were blocked at the same time. Shiori Hiraki's shouts were also blocked back.

As the hood was removed, the heads of flesh-colored insects were revealed, appearing particularly terrifying in the dim light filtering through the pink mist.

However, Shiori Hiraki stood there dumbfounded for the next moment.

The seemingly dangerous humanoid alien beasts staggered toward the isolated gate as if possessed, but instead of attacking, they lowered their heads as if they saw some terrifying presence. A strong wind blew up, and they disappeared into the tunnel along with the pink mist.

"What happened? Where are those guys?"

Shiori Hiraki swallowed hard, muttering as she examined the tunnel, now back to normal.

The alien beast's vibration wave completely disappeared, leaving only unconscious women on the ground and Gu Men, who also looked bewildered.

"Gu Men, where did you put them?"

"I...I don't know either."

Komon shook his head in bewilderment and reached out to help Hiraki Shiori up.

"Let's get out of here first."

"Whoosh!"

Natsukawa's phantom appeared, glanced at Komon who had taken away Hiraki Shiori, and then turned his gaze to the special Mephisto card in his hand.

The alien beast factor was absorbed.

He doesn't know if it's a coincidence or if Zaki is plotting something behind the scenes.
