Ultraman grunts? Call me Space Policeman outside!

"In the last world, the adjudication mechanism was triggered, but we did not receive any related notifications afterward. It was as if nothing had happened."

As Natsuki listened, her brows gradually furrowed.

The other party... is a bit too calm.

The system they used to control the time travelers seemed to be just a program, and the people behind the scenes had entrusted everything to this program, showing no intention of showing themselves even after such a huge accident.

Is it because they disdain dealing with this matter, or... is there some reason why they cannot show themselves, or even make contact with those time travelers?

It's really absurd that they hide behind the scenes and don't even touch their own pieces.

"I understand," Xia Shu said into the phone.

"And... when are you planning to deal with this one here?" Albert asked.

At the First Defense Force base, there was another time traveler who was unaware of what had happened.

“Now,” Xia Shu said. He wasn’t going to let this opportunity, which had come to him for free, slip by.

“Then, I’ll be waiting for you here,” Albert said, and hung up the phone.

Staring at the black screen of her phone, Natsuki pondered for a while.

He put his phone back in his pocket.

Arriving at the edge of the pit where Kafka lay, looking down at Hibino Kafka lying on his back, he said, "I have something to do, so I'll leave for a while."

"That's about it for today's training."

"Get a good rest tonight, recharge your energy, and prepare for tomorrow's team entry assessment."

Although Kafka Hibino and Reno Ichikawa have only been his disciples for two days, he still has to protect those who deserve his protection.

No matter what happens tomorrow, he will protect these two guys.

"Okay!" Kafka heard Natsuki's voice, opened his eyes, and shouted.

Goodnight, Natsuki-sensei!

As he spoke, it seemed as if he was about to fall asleep right there on the spot.

Being young is great.

"Wait, senior!"

"If you sleep here, you'll miss tomorrow's assessment!" Ichikawa Reno ran over upon hearing this, cupping his hands together like a megaphone to remind Kafka below.

"Oh, right!"

"We need to get back to the city early." Kafka slapped his forehead, belatedly realizing what he had just said.

Xia Shu's eyes twitched as she looked at the pair of sleeping dragons and phoenix chicks.

......

Japan's 1st Defense Force, Ariake Seaside Base.

As midnight approached, there were hardly any people left in the laboratory.

In the dimly lit room, Albert, dressed in a white lab coat and wearing silver-rimmed glasses, stood in the center of the laboratory. In front of him were transparent containers filled with various monster tissues, connected by wires and controlled by several screens in front of him.

"You're still in the lab at this hour? Have you figured out my proposal?"

Suddenly, the laboratory door opened, and a man wearing a white lab coat and with long black hair walked in. He looked to be in his thirties, of Japanese descent, and his tone of voice and facial expression exuded composure.

"Find an opportunity to get close to Kafka Hibino, trigger the rampage of the monster inside him, and turn it into a numbered weapon. Combined with the other monster organizations collected by the defense team, we will definitely be able to create the strongest weapon."

"As long as we join forces, we will surely achieve final victory."

The man, with his hands in the pockets of his lab coat, gradually approached Albert, speaking in a seductive tone.

"You should know what I'm thinking."

“I wouldn’t do such a thing.” Albert heard his voice and turned around.

In the dimly lit room, only the monitor screen emitted a faint light, illuminating his profile, and his eyes behind the silver-rimmed glasses revealed rejection.

"What are you pretending to be, playing the innocent white lotus?"

"How many of us are clean?" the long-haired man said disdainfully, then spread his hands. "I know you crave freedom, but what right do we pawns have to talk about freedom?"

His unwavering gaze met Albert's.

"I'll ask you one last time, will you choose to join me, or... die here?"

As he spoke, he lifted his white research suit, revealing a defense team combat uniform underneath, with a specially made dagger tucked into his waistband.

He was after Albert's brains; if the other party didn't cooperate, then there was no need to keep him around.

"I won't choose either of them."

“Moreover… the freedom I’m pursuing is real.” Albert pushed up his silver-rimmed glasses and pulled down his lab coat, revealing the combat suit underneath.

After learning that this guy was also a transmigrator, he even wore his combat suit while sleeping.

Although he cannot exert the power of a defense team captain, he is more than capable of being compared to an ordinary member.

"Then die!" The long-haired man suddenly sprang to his feet, thrusting his dagger toward Albert's throat.

Before he arrived, he had already disconnected the surveillance cameras in the lab.

After killing this guy, he will also disguise it as the out-of-control experimental monster.

Killing this guy would reduce one of my competitors.

Albert raised the arm guards of his combat suit to defend himself, but was still knocked backward by the force of the blow, smashing through a container holding the monster organization, and falling to the ground, mixed among the shattered glass and nutrient solution.

"fragile."

"I don't know how you've managed to get to where you are now." The long-haired man looked at Albert, who was trying to get up from the ground, with disdain in his eyes.

Aside from being a little smarter, this guy's combat ability is truly trash.

He wasn't going to give the other man a chance to say his last words. He used his legs to deliver the final blow before Albert could get up.

"Looks like I really made the right choice coming here."

Suddenly, the laboratory door opened again, and an unfamiliar voice came from inside.

The long-haired man's forward momentum was suddenly interrupted, causing him to lose his balance in mid-air and fall directly to the ground.

"Who goes there!?"

He held a dagger and looked towards the door. The newcomer was a man wearing a floral shirt.

Chapter 176 Is this reasonable?

"You are... that guy who's wanted."

The long-haired man recognized Xia Shu's face; after all, he was the man on the wanted list.

At the same time, he was also wondering how this guy escaped from the Third Division's base, where Shinomiya Isao had also gone.

The news of Natsuki being hired as the squad leader of the third unit has not yet spread internally. Shinomiya Isao plans to announce the news after dealing with the government, so very few people know about it.

"Two against one...that's a bit beyond my expectations." The long-haired man held a dagger, cautiously watching Xia Shu.

He also considered Natsuki to be one of the time travelers.

Moreover, that stance, full of flaws, was rather strange; it suggested either a novice or a master.

The invisible force that suddenly interfered with me just now... I guess it was this guy who emitted it, and he's very likely a master.

Fortunately, Albert's fighting strength is not high, and he believes he still has a chance of winning this two-on-one battle.

"It's really fortunate that I contacted you in advance."

Albert climbed out from among the broken containers, removed his shattered silver-rimmed glasses, and a smile crept across his lips.

After learning that Natsuki had been imprisoned in the Third Division, he had been closely monitoring the news there.

After Natsuki turned on the phone he received, he immediately made a call.

"I'm really not good at fighting, so I'll leave this guy to you."

Albert's trusting tone only made the long-haired man more suspicious.

Just who is this guy?

Without wearing a combat suit, yet able to use unknown superpowers, could it be that it has fused with a monster?

But no matter what, now that things have come to a head, this guy is the enemy!

The long-haired man, holding a dagger, looked at Xia Shu's numerous openings and launched an attack from the easiest angle to kill him, stomping his toes forward!

Before they even got close, the other person's voice could already be heard.

"I'll give you two choices..."

"Die!" He didn't care what the other person was saying; the dagger was already aimed at the other person's neck.

Before the dagger pierced his neck, he saw a pair of cold, golden eyes, and a hand that rapidly magnified in his field of vision.

With a powerful downward slam, the long-haired man spun two and a half times in mid-air before crashing heavily to the ground, face first, several teeth flying out, and coughing up a mouthful of blood.

"Option one is to put up a stubborn resistance and be shot dead on the spot."

"Option two is to surrender and be imprisoned in a cosmic prison."

Xia Shu lowered her head, held up two fingers, and spoke to the long-haired man below who was already staring blankly at the ground, questioning his existence.

This guy's fighting ability is much weaker than Hoshina Soshiro's; he can only bully Albert.

"Wh...what is that?" The long-haired man lay on the ground, spitting out another broken tooth, his face filled with confusion and bewilderment.

What is all this nonsense?

Isn't the other person a time traveler?

And... what exactly happened? Why did I fall down in an instant...?

"Didn't you tell him?" Xia Shu asked Albert, looking at the bewildered long-haired man.

“If I told him about your situation, he’d probably run away on the spot,” Albert said, taking out a spare pair of glasses from the lab and putting them on.

Hearing the conversation between the two, the long-haired man was even more confused.
