Ultraman's opening scene: lifting up Kuroshio Island

......

These images flashed through Jun Himeya's mind, and his expression calmed down as he became completely absorbed in them.

Minghui withdrew his outstretched finger, glanced at it, and then silently took a step back.

Just now, he used his special ability to pass on a portion of his experiences to Jun Himeya. These experiences were specially selected by him and would surely be helpful to him.

Theory is no substitute for experience; nothing beats letting him experience it firsthand.

If this still doesn't make him realize anything, then Minghui has no better ideas.

Let's just wait for someone to give Jun Himeya a good talking-to.

"Huh...huh..."

A snore came from not far away. Minghui looked in the direction of the sound and found that the man and woman in the car were sleeping soundly.

Minghui grinned and revealed a slight smile.

This memory erasure machine is really great. Just shine a light on it, and you can fall asleep instantly, without any worries.

If this thing goes on the market, it'll probably make a fortune, right?

This is definitely useful for those young couples who are heartbroken and ready to die.

With strange thoughts swirling in his mind, Minghui amplified his senses and swept them around.

He was searching for traces of Mizoroki Shinya.

Logically speaking, since the underling was killed without doing anything, shouldn't the boss at least come and take a look?

Even if I don't avenge my brother, it would be good to see what's going on!

Unfortunately, Gorokima might just be such a heartless man.

Even after Ren Minghui thoroughly searched the surrounding area several times, he couldn't find a trace of it.

Is he truly indifferent to the loss of such a strange beast, or... is he afraid of himself?

After all, I had given him a good beating the last time we met.

Moreover, he hadn't appeared in front of him for a long time since the last time.

Minghui stroked his chin, lost in thought.

If it's the former, that's fine, but if it's the latter, that's troublesome.

If the other party is filled with fear, even if you manage to meet them, the difficulty of defeating them will likely increase several times over.

That guy is pretty good at escaping.

But could Mizoroki really be afraid of himself?

The thought crossed Minghui's mind, and he gently shook his head.

He felt that this was unlikely. Based on his understanding of that man, even if he was indeed stronger than him, or even significantly stronger, the other party probably wouldn't be afraid.

Rather than fearing something unrealistic like himself, Minghui was more inclined to believe that the guy was secretly planning something big.

Tsk, this kind of intelligent villain is really annoying!

"Well......"

A groan came from beside him. Minghui looked over and saw that Ji Yajun's lifeless eyes had regained their clarity.

"Hey, how are you feeling?"

Minghui waved to him and said with a smile:

Have you found the answer you're looking for?

Upon hearing Minghui's question, Jiya Jun, who had emerged from that mental image, took a deep breath. Then, under Minghui's slightly surprised gaze, he bowed deeply to Minghui.

"Please accept my respect, Ultraman... Sevis!"

"Don't!"

Minghui quickly stepped forward and helped Ji Yajun to his feet, saying:

"I just did what every Ultra Warrior would do, nothing special, you don't have to be like that."

He looked at Himeya Jun's resolute face, his eyes flashing.

What truly deserves respect is your unwavering dedication to the fight.

"Also, I'm currently acting as a human, so you can call me Minghui."

After helping Himeya Jun to his feet, Akira spoke again.

"My name is Jun Himeya."

Himeya Jun nodded in response.

His expression remained largely unchanged, still carrying a slight seriousness as usual.

But after what had just happened, Minghui clearly felt that his trust in him had deepened, and he relaxed completely.

“Minghui, I think you’re right. This power really isn’t a punishment. It’s just that I didn’t understand its meaning before.”

Drawing the Trust Evolver from his robes, Jun Himeya looked down at it and slowly spoke:

"This light represents protection, not punishment."

Even if... I become battered and bruised in battle and eventually die alone.

"Thump...thump..."

The Trust Evolver in Jun Himeya's hand flickered with a light as frequent as a heartbeat, but this time he did not feel the feeling that constantly urged him to fight. Instead, he sensed a warmth from the light.

Upon seeing this, a smile appeared on Jiya Jun's resolute face.

"You will not die, and... you will not be alone."

Seeing his expression, Minghui smiled and said something.

At the same time, he felt a slight sense of relief.

Thankfully, it wasn't all for nothing; most of Himeya Jun's psychological problems have been resolved.

As for the rest, we'll have to wait and see.

"Won't you feel lonely...?"

Himeya Jun murmured to himself, a thought flashing through his mind as he recalled the figures who had come to his aid during the last battle.

Then, he nodded subconsciously, a strange look appearing in his eyes.

After a brief silence, Jun Himeya spoke again, slowly backing away as he said:

"In short, I still want to thank you for clearing up my doubts this time. In the battles that followed, I found new meaning."

"Then, we'll meet again next time..."

"Wait, how are you going to get out of here?"

Just then, Minghui interrupted him, turning his head to scan the empty highway before speaking:

“This road isn’t a main road, so there aren’t many cars passing by normally, making it difficult to hail a taxi.”

Himeya Jun fell silent, his gaze slightly lowered as he looked at his own legs.

To my shame, he arrived on foot.

The Stone Wing is too conspicuous; he won't use it unless absolutely necessary.

"Come on, I'll take you home."

Minghui patted the black sedan he had driven there and nodded at it.

"Now...?"

Himeya Jun hesitated for a moment, glanced at the two people still fast asleep in the other car, and frowned, saying:

"Isn't it a bit much to leave them here?"

"It's okay, I've timed it. They should wake up in about ten minutes."

Minghui glanced at the time displayed on his phone, did a quick calculation in his mind, and then said to Ji Ya.

As soon as he finished speaking, he urged again:

"We'd better leave quickly. Their memories of this period have been sealed. Who knows what they'll imagine when they wake up?"

"If they wake up and see us, and mistakenly think we've done something bad to them, that would be a real problem!"

With that, Minghui jumped into the car, turned the key to start the engine, and then waved to Himeya Jun, who was still standing there:

"Quick!"

"Oh, here it comes."

Himeya Jun responded, and Minghui's words made him a little more anxious.

He rushed over in three quick steps, then jumped into the passenger seat of the car:

"Then I'll trouble you to give me a ride."

The car was slowly started by Minghui. He glanced at Himeya Jun beside him and said:

"You're welcome. By the way, I also have something I'd like to ask you for help with."

"What is it? Just tell me!"

Himeya Jun agreed.

"No rush, I'll tell you when we find a safe place."

Minghui shook his head, signaling him to calm down.

"Ah."

Himeya Jun nodded. He wasn't a talkative person to begin with, so he didn't say anything more.

But after the car had driven a distance, he finally couldn't resist his curiosity.

Recalling the scenes he saw in that consciousness, Jun Himeya asked Akira:

"Um... are there really that many Ultra Warriors in this world?"
