Ultraman: Evolution from Slime

"who!?"

Sanada Ryosuke was startled by the sudden voice.

He looked in the direction of the sound with wide eyes.

Suddenly found in the corner of the laboratory.

At some point, a person hidden in protective clothing appeared.

The person's true identity is Zheng Chuan.

",people!?"

Sanada Ryosuke's heart was pounding.

I'm 100% sure.

At the beginning, there were only Naoto Ebina and I in the laboratory; there was no third person.

But because of this, I became even more nervous.

A stranger appeared beside me without anyone noticing.

Not being frightened and screaming is proof of courage.

Zheng Chuan smiled faintly and said, "Don't be so timid. I don't have any ill intentions towards you."

Sanada Ryosuke, who had received higher education, clearly did not believe Zheng Chuanban's perfunctory words.

Slowly move in a certain direction to press the alarm button hidden there.

But Zheng Chuan saw through it at a glance.

With a flick of his finger, he destroyed the alarm button directly through the air.

'Bang'

The alarm button exploded instantly.

Sanada Ryosuke's whole body suddenly stiffened, and his pupils shrank sharply.

At this moment, a thought emerged in the depths of his mind.

Not human!

Take a deep breath.

Sanada Ryosuke tried hard to keep his voice from trembling.

Suppressing his fear of the unknown, he asked suspiciously, "...Sir, what's your purpose?"

Zheng Chuan smiled calmly, but didn't answer the question. Instead, he asked, "That's a good question, too. What were you doing just now?"

"I..."

Zheng Chuan's question, which took the initiative, immediately stumped Sanada Ryosuke.

Seeing that it is a little difficult to speak.

Zheng Chuan narrowed his eyes and playfully asked himself, "I guess touching Ebron cells with your bare hands?"

In fact, in addition to direct injection, Eblon cells can also enter the body through the pores of the skin.

In terms of the degree of reinforcement, the latter is not as good as the former, but it has the advantage of less risk.

"..."

Sanada Ryosuke remained silent but did not deny it.

Seeing this, Zheng Chuan didn't ask any more questions and slowly walked away from the corner.

The shadow was elongated by the light in the laboratory, and from a distance it looked like a demon with bared fangs and claws.

Zheng Chuan was seen circling around the isolation cabinet as if taking a stroll.

His fingers rhythmically tapped the isolation cabinet, the crisp sound echoing throughout the laboratory, transforming into a tremendous pressure that assaulted Sanada Ryosuke.

Sanada Ryosuke couldn't figure out why he felt so palpitated.

I opened my mouth, but the words were hard to come out.

But in the end, it came out.

"...That's right, but is it related to this?"

"Of course it doesn't matter. After all, we have to take responsibility for our lives."

Zheng Chuan was not at all annoyed by his attitude.

He smiled faintly, spread his hands, and said, "It's not a first-time gift, but since I've been in a good mood lately, I'm giving you a piece of advice."

Upon hearing this, Sanada Ryosuke frowned slightly.

"'Remember... this heavy and mysterious life is now a realm unworthy of human entry. Rashly intervening will only lead to irreparable tragedy.' Do you understand?"

These words immediately silenced Sanada Ryosuke.

But after a moment, he suddenly clenched his fists and said in a painful voice: "I don't know at all..."

"I must fuse with Ebron cells! I must always be number one! Otherwise, no one will love me!"

First.

This word is almost engraved in the depths of my soul.

But Zheng Chuan showed a dismissive attitude towards this.

I'm not very interested in Sanada Ryosuke's past.

The other party is just a guy who can't get out of the shadow of failure.

If you can't get rid of the haze, you will never be able to break out of the cocoon and be reborn as a butterfly.

"Being too competitive is not a good thing. Acting solely on passion can only get you killed."

"I... you should know more about the side effects of Ebron cells than I do, right?"

Zheng Chuan narrowed his eyes and said as if stating a fact.

After finishing his words, he paused for a moment.

Then he suddenly changed the subject and said, "I don't have a deep understanding of what I've encountered, but as a person, you must know yourself. Before you venture into any area of ​​life, you must first learn to respect life. Otherwise, you will never respect life."

"Reverence...for life?"

"That's right, now that I've said that, whether you live or die has nothing to do with me anymore."

Zheng Chuan finished speaking, then suddenly turned around, opened the isolation cabinet, and placed his hand on the meteorite without hesitation.

Devour!

Soon, the system prompt sounded.

[Ding, successfully devoured the Ebron cells]

Ebron cells alone do not appear to increase lifespan.

[Ding, you've successfully devoured Ebron's cells. Your physical fitness has improved across the board. Your innate abilities Split, Proliferate, and Regenerate have increased by one level, now reaching Lv1. Your skills Ion Light Sphere, Electromagnetic Barrier, and Volt Shock have increased by two levels, now reaching Lv2.]

Zheng Chuan's innate ability leveled up for the first time. His Ebron cells were indeed extraordinary.

Sanada Ryosuke's eyes widened slightly as he asked in confusion, "You warned me not to touch Ebron cells and to learn to respect life, but..."

"Oh, that's totally wrong."

Zheng Chuan tilted his head to look over, his face hidden beneath his hood filled with pride.

“My life is on a completely different level.”

Ling Ran said: "I don't need to fear life. Instead, life should fear me!"

", Do you understand?"

Before he had finished speaking, a breeze suddenly blew.

At the same time, Zheng Chuan disappeared from under Sanada Ryosuke's nose.

"Let's just do it. After all, we only have one life, right?"

It took Sanada Ryosuke two seconds to realize that Zheng Chuan had left.

“It actually disappeared!?”

He swallowed his saliva, his face full of disbelief.

After a while, Naoto Ebina came back with two cups of hot coffee.

When I walked into the lab, I found Sanada Ryosuke staring blankly at the computer screen.

The computer was playing the surveillance video just now.

Sanada Ryosuke in the surveillance video had been mumbling to himself and looking at an empty space in front of him until just now.

Apparently, no one knew that Zheng Chuan had used an electromagnetic barrier to block his presence from the surveillance cameras.

Sanada Ryosuke took a deep breath and calmly turned off the monitoring software. He then tilted his head to look at the meteorite in the isolation cabinet, unsure what to do.

048: Lucia Arrives (1/3)

when.

Zheng Chuan used space transfer to leave the Space Development Bureau.

There was no other reason why I said those words to Sanada Ryosuke just now.

Just out of pure kindness.

As for whether the other party listens to advice or not.
