Ultraman's opening scene: lifting up Kuroshio Island

After thinking for a moment, he asked Daigo Madoka:

"He's willing to help, but there must be conditions, right?"

Daigo Madoka nodded and replied:

"He asked me to help him realize his plan to turn him into Ultraman."

I agreed because I found that he wasn't actually that bad.

Moreover, rather than letting him cause me trouble later, it's better to cooperate with him proactively. This way, we can keep things under control and resolve Obik's problem.

"Well, this approach isn't wrong."

Upon hearing this, Minghui nodded, then asked with some curiosity:

Did he succeed?

"Hmm, half and half, I guess."

Daigo Madoka sighed softly, somewhat wistfully saying:

"Masaki Keigo is indeed a genius. With my active cooperation, he completed the research in a short time and successfully transformed into Ultraman through a stone statue."

But after transforming into Ultraman, his rationality lasted only a short time before he quickly lost control.

Fortunately, I had advised him to place the experiment in a remote location beforehand, so it didn't cause much damage.

After that, I defeated him when he lost control, preventing him from going down the path of self-destruction in his madness.

After that incident, he was depressed for a while...

At this point, Daigo Madoka smiled, revealing that he and Keigo Masaki were indeed on good terms. He said with a hint of teasing:

"For someone as proud as him, this defeat was a major blow. He always considered himself a born warrior and never thought he would be unable to control this power."

However, he contacted me recently, saying he'd figured out why he failed and is now working towards a solution!

"Oh? What does he think is the reason for the failure?"

Minghui asked curiously.

"He didn't explain the specifics, but I've heard him talk about things like willpower."

"That's what Daigo Madoka said."

Upon hearing this, Minghui nodded slowly, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

Having a strong will is indeed the foundation for wielding power, but that's not the most important thing. It also depends on what kind of heart Masaki Keigo has.

If it is an evil heart, the stronger its will, the greater the disaster it will be, and it will only create a dark Ultraman.

However, judging from Daigo's words, Masaki Keigo at this point should have been changed according to the original work, otherwise the two would not have become friends.

Perhaps, under Daigo's influence, a new Ultraman might actually emerge in the future.

Thinking this, Minghui turned to look at Madoka Daigo and praised him with a smile:

"Well done, Daigo. I never expected you to do this well. It's beyond my expectations."

"Haha, not at all, it was just luck."

Hearing Minghui's praise, Yuan Daigu scratched his head a little shyly, his face full of smiles.

But as he laughed, the smile on his face gradually froze, and his expression turned terrified.

"what happened?"

Seeing the change in his expression, Minghui frowned and asked a question.

"Oh no, I forgot..."

Daigo Madoka forced a smile that looked more like a grimace, and said:

"I was supposed to be on duty for the second half of the night, and my shift before me was... Lina!"

"Huh? I'll speed up!"

"boom!"

.............

"Dagu!"

Inside the GUTS command center, Nanase Rena's aggressive voice rang out. Hands on her hips, she reprimanded Daiko Madoka, who stood before her, head bowed like a child caught doing something wrong:

"Where did you guys go? Leaving work behind is one thing, I can cover for you, but smell the alcohol on you! My God, how much did you drink!"

Her eyes were filled with dissatisfaction, which intensified when she looked at Minghui beside her.

Well, Daigo used to be so well-behaved, he hardly ever drank alcohol. How come you got so drunk as soon as you arrived!

Tell me! Did you corrupt my Dagu?

Minghui understood the meaning behind it, but he couldn't refute it, so he could only turn his head away guiltily.

Daigo really didn't want to drink it, but he was persuaded to drink it by Daigo. There was nothing he could do about it; it was definitely Daigo's fault.

At this moment, Daigo Madoka carefully raised his head and said weakly:

"Um, Lina, we didn't go anywhere else, we just went to Obik's place and spent time with him and his friends."

"Obik?"

Upon hearing this, Nanase Rena's expression changed slightly, and a thoughtful look flashed in her eyes.

Then, when she looked at Minghui again, the dissatisfaction in her eyes had disappeared, replaced by a strange look.

After a moment of silence, she gave a soft hum:

"Even so, that's still going too far... Hmph, you'd better watch yourself."

As soon as she finished speaking, Nanase Rena turned around and quickly walked out of the command room.

After Nanase Rena left, Daigo Madoka breathed a sigh of relief. He turned to look at Akira beside him, an awkward smile on his face:

"Um... it's getting late, you should go back and rest, I still have to stay here on duty."

"Okay, I'll be going now."

Minghui did not refuse. He smiled, patted Yuan Daigu on the shoulder, and then turned and left the command room.

The command room fell silent again. Madoka, who remained, sighed heavily, letting out a mournful lament.

"Lina is really something. Even though I did make a mistake, could you at least give me some face?"

"Humph!"

But just then, a soft hum rang out, and Nanase Rena, who had left, returned. She shoved a water glass into Daigo Madoka's hand, glared at him fiercely, and then turned and left without saying a word.

"what......"

Daigo Madoka froze on the spot, not daring to move an inch.

He was filled with remorse and wished he could slap himself across the face.

But after glancing down at the water glass in his hand, he chuckled and raised the corners of his mouth.

Turning around and sitting in front of the computer, Yuan Dagu took a small sip of water from his glass, feeling the warmth flow down his throat, and sighed contentedly.

He then turned his attention to the computer in front of him, opened the various data files, and looked at them one by one.

Just a short while later, he felt a strong drowsiness wash over him, and this drowsiness came on so suddenly that his eyelids drooped.

"Hmm, it should be fine to sleep for a little while... right?"

Muttering something under his breath, Yuan Daigu had no energy left to think any further. He slumped onto the table and immediately fell into a deep sleep.

............

"Tap...tap..."

The crisp sound of footsteps echoed in the corridor. At first, the sound was clear and pleasant, but over time, especially in an environment where no one else was around, it gradually began to feel a little eerie.

In particular, at one point, the footsteps suddenly split into two.

"Tap...tap..."

"despair!"

Minghui stopped in his tracks, turned around, a hint of helplessness on his face, and said:

"Seriously, do you like to dress up as a ghost and scare people no matter who it is?"

"I'm sorry, that's not what I meant."

Another set of footsteps stopped, and a slightly hoarse and somewhat rigid voice rang out in front of Minghui.

Whether you meant it or not, you know it yourself.

Upon hearing this, Minghui slightly pursed his lips and looked ahead.

Before him stood a figure dressed in white, her face showing signs of aging, her long silver hair hanging down.

Yu Lian, the captain of the Earth's security force in the ancient era, is actually dead, but her consciousness has traveled to 30 million years in the future in a form similar to artificial intelligence, guiding people of later generations.

Overall, he is a figure of considerable importance, but judging from his current behavior, he is nothing more than a wandering ghost within the TPC base.

"You've come all this way to see me, is there something you need?"

Looking at You Lian in front of him, Minghui asked a question.

Minghui also felt a slight curiosity about this white-haired ghost.

He had wondered before what form Yu Lian actually existed in. Was she just an artificial program with a higher level of intelligence, or was she actually the soul of the Earth Guard Captain from 30 million years ago?

From his current perspective, perhaps both are true; in any case, the process is not pure.

"Your existence confuses me."

At this moment, You Lian slowly spoke, her expression rich yet not stiff, saying:

“I sense a similar aura about you to those giants of light, but with subtle differences. Moreover, I haven’t seen you in thirty million years. Who... who are you?”

Upon hearing Youlian's question, Minghui smiled slightly, becoming even more certain of his earlier guess.

It's difficult for a piece of code to arouse curiosity.

But he doesn't have much time to answer Yu Lian's questions right now; he has more important things to do.
