Ultraman: What, I am guarding Ultra Father?

"That's right, Commander Ikari..."

While driving the airship towards the military airport, Kaji Ryoji entrusted Ikari Gendo to him. After the next Angel appears in the Third New Tokyo,

The whole thing about using the life and death of ordinary people taking refuge in the shelter to test Kei Higashino's sense of human beings was revealed.

At this point, Kaji Ryoji said something without thinking:

"This idea wasn't mine. It was Commander Ikari who came up with it. If you want to blame someone, blame Commander Ikari. Don't put the blame on humans themselves."

Kei Higashino was speechless. Is this a new form of moral kidnapping?

Or has he become a remnant of the old era?

"What does one person's cause have to do with the entire tribe?"

Look at Kaji Ryoji's slightly nervous expression.

Kei Higashino immediately understood that Ryoji Kaji was frightened by his methods.

Yes, compared to emotional women, men are more rational and tend to think about the worst possible outcome.

For those who haven't seen Ultraman.

Who wouldn’t be scared if an unstoppable creature like Ultraman suddenly appeared in your own world?

He would be afraid too.

It’s no wonder that Ryoji Kaji would have such concerns.

Of course, if Ultraman were to propose a strict eight-hour workday with weekends off after ruling the world, so that humans would work for him.

I guess the situation will be reversed.

Higashino Kei was amused by his own thoughts and laughed:

"Am I so unreasonable in your eyes?"

Chapter 158 157: Poking the Seafood Nest

How should Kaji Ryoji respond to this?

At least among the bigwigs of Seele that he had met, almost none of them were reasonable.

If this logic made sense, the second impact that destroyed half of human life would not have happened.

"That was not what I meant,"

Kaji Ryoji rubbed his face awkwardly, looked away, swallowed his saliva, and said nervously:

"I'm just afraid of being implicated."

Kei Higashino saw that Ryoji Kaji was insincere.

The answer is obvious.

Kaji Ryoji just felt that it was difficult to reason with him.

Want an explanation?

Forget it, I won’t explain it.

Kei Higashino is well aware that the more you care about your image, the easier it is for you to be led by the nose.

Moreover, he took the initiative to reveal his identity just to use Jiaji Ryoji to complete the task more conveniently and quickly.

Therefore, it is impossible to fall into the trap of self-proof and urgently express one's sincerity just because of the distrust revealed in a few words by Jia Zhiliangzhi.

This goes against his wishes.

Therefore, whether Ryoji Kaji has never seen Ultraman or has seen Ultraman but is pretending not to know about it, that's fine.

He couldn't even show the slightest concern for humanity itself.

Thinking of this, Higashino Kei raised his eyebrows and pretended to be surprised: "Why are you afraid of being implicated? You already know my mission,

The most worrying solution, shouldn't it be to help me find the stone statue as soon as possible, then worship the gods and Buddhas, and pray for me to leave this world as soon as possible?"

Ryoji Kaji felt a little discouraged when he heard this. He certainly understood that what Kei Higashino said was the best solution.

Although some of what he said was indeed what he really thought, it was mostly to deepen Kei Higashino's disgust towards Gendou Ikari.

But I didn’t expect Kei Higashino to not respond at all.

Seeing that there was nothing he could do, Kaji Ryoji could only nod in agreement:

"You're... quite right."

"Then I'll leave it to you,"

When Kei Higashino saw that Ryoji Kaji agreed, he immediately blocked his way out with a word.

Just as he was about to get up and leave, Higashino Kei seemed to have thought of something and paused slightly:

"By the way, if that temptation continues,

Remember to tell me where the shelter is."

Kaji Ryoji looked slightly stunned and asked doubtfully, "What are you going to do if the temptation against you continues?"

Higashino Kei looked puzzled: "I find you are a very strange person."

"Those are your compatriots. You all know that your commander Ikari doesn't care about their lives.

Since you yourself don't try to stop it, why should I meddle in other people's business and cause trouble?"

"You misunderstood. Of course I will stop you," Kaji Ryoji explained hastily, "I just want to know how you view the humans in this world."

"What do you think?"

"A bunch of unfortunate kids who've suffered the undeserved disaster caused by 'pyramid schemes'."

Although the words are rough, this is the opinion that Kei Higashino has come to through the information collected by Ritsuko Akagi during this period and the theatrical version in his memory.

"Pyramid scheme..."

When Ryoji Kaji thought about the information in which Ritsuko Akagi objectively explained the fundamental purpose of the SEELE organization, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Your description of SEELE is quite apt."

"Bye-Bye,"

Kei Higashino waved his hand, jumped off the airship into the strong wind, and landed on the back of Bemundstein's huge, furry head, which was shining with a light blue light.

"Xiaobei, let's go."

next second.

In Kaji Ryoji's sight, the blue bird-like giant that suddenly appeared beside the airship turned into a light blue light and disappeared into the sky.

"I'm so envious,"

Kaji Ryoji looked at the light blue light gradually dissipating in the sky, his eyes full of fantasies about the adventures of the higher civilized creatures.

"As expected, even if the scenery of this world is so desolate now, I still want to live.

Well~ it would be even better if I could see the scenery from that guy's perspective."

……

"Ritsuko, the press conference will start in a while, why are you still here looking at the scenery?"

In old Tokyo, next to the Tokyo Tower that collapsed in the second impact, on the rooftop of a nearby research institute.

Misato Katsuragi looked at the blood-red ocean in the distance that had submerged most of Tokyo, and a trace of barely perceptible regret flashed in her eyes.

Akagi Ritsuko exhaled a puff of light white smoke: "Although they sent us an invitation, they don't welcome us.

If I don't stay here to enjoy the scenery, why should I go inside to see the disgusted faces of those men? "

"I don't have a hobby of looking at other people's ugly faces."

"But this is our mission after all, so just bear with it."

Katsuragi Misato sighed, her gaze fixed on the dilapidated buildings in the distance covered in moss and vegetation.

"It's hard to imagine that this is the metropolis that was once known as the City of Flowers."

"Really, why do they have to build a test base in this place?"

After a pause, Katsuragi Misato glanced at Akagi Ritsuko, who was sitting motionless in front of her laptop:

"By the way, are there any politicians involved in this plan?"

"You mean the Strategic Self-Defense Force?"

On the surface, it seems that there is no connection, but Ritsuko Akagi is very clear that this plan was actually led by the Strategic Self-Defense Force Research Institute.

But right now, Misato Katsuragi is still under the surveillance of the Intelligence Bureau.

I can only keep her in the dark for now.

Akagi Ritsuko sighed slightly: "No, they didn't get permission."

As one of the people who knew about the plan, Misato Katsuragi knew very well what Ritsuko Akagi was going to do to JA at the press conference.

Seeing Akagi Ritsuko say this, she thought that she was just a computer expert from the Strategic Self-Defense Force and would not interfere. She said with a look of sudden realization:

"No wonder you act so casually."

But in fact, Ritsuko Akagi received a message from Kei Higashino and knew clearly that the press conference could not be held at all, so she was too lazy to waste time and effort to hold it multiple times.

At this time, a staff member came over with an expensive gift box of wine and drinks, looking apologetic.

"I'm so sorry, you two, for making this trip in vain.

A major vulnerability has been discovered in JA's program, and the press conference will be postponed. The specific date for the event will still require a decision from higher-ups."

"This is a gift for you two, as a small token of my apology."

As the staff member spoke, he handed over two boxes of wine in luxurious packaging.

Seeing that Misato Katsuragi took the gift box with some surprise, the staff member bowed again and hurriedly turned and left.

"This……"

Misato Katsuragi looked at Ritsuko Akagi and then at the gift box in her hand: "Should we tell Commander Ikari about this?"
