"This is precisely why Director Sawai disregarded opposition from various sides and withstood pressure to transfer me to take over TLT-related affairs. After the Shinjuku incident, TLT's practice of erasing people's memories had already attracted the attention of headquarters, but this time, the practice of directly erasing the memories of all Tokyo citizens for a whole day and night has completely exceeded the necessary limits."

"Then...why?" Daigo Madoka blinked. He then realized that the director had already noticed what he had thought of.

“Rome wasn’t built in a day. We will find a way to protect the public and respect their memories. That’s why I’m here. But even dealing with MP department matters will take time.”

Megumi looked at Daigo Madoka and smiled:

"Furthermore, I've already had Captain Horii research the method for returning the stored memories to the River of Oblivion. If you think I'm just making empty promises, you can confirm it with Captain Horii yourself, okay, Captain Daigo?"

Yuan Daigu was stunned, and then he quickly realized the inappropriateness of his behavior.

"...I'm sorry, Captain, I got too excited." He quickly bowed his head and apologized.

"It's alright. Rather, I'm very pleased that you can stick to that philosophy."

Kijima suddenly fell silent for a moment, took out a thick file folder from the drawer, lingered her fingertips on the cover for a while, and her expression became serious.

“If you’re interested, you can take a look at these materials.” Her voice lowered slightly.

Daigo Madoka noticed the change in the captain's expression: "What are these?"

"During this period, I have been paying attention and trying my best to deal with the impact caused by the erasure of people's memories of their lives."

Megumi took a deep breath, pushed the file in front of Daigo, her eyes filled with a heavy meaning: "...This is the worst part of it."

"..."

……

……

[Kirino Makio, 30 years old, from Tokyo, Japan.]

[He adopted a daughter named Aoi. Before the Tokyo incident, he had given some kind of warning to nearby residents before the alien beast attack.]

[However, due to the local people's memory being erased, they mistakenly blamed him for the damage to their homes and property, believing there was some strange connection between his warnings and the disaster. In their anger, they set fire to his residence, and during the ensuing conflict, he suffered severe injuries to both legs, resulting in permanent disability.]

[He subsequently faced long-term rejection and hostility from the surrounding community, and the local government frequently received petitions demanding his expulsion from the community. He currently lives with his adopted daughter, facing a difficult situation.]

[Note: Despite repeated attempts by the Memory Police to erase the memories of Kirino Makio and his adopted daughter, they have never succeeded. He always seems to sense the arrival of visitors in advance and quietly leaves their new residence with his adopted daughter. The visitor is suspected to be a superhuman with a premonition-like ability.]

……

……

Daigo Madoka quickly recalled one of the files.

It was after seeing these files that he decided to give up his leisure time after completing his mission and join forces with his newly acquainted teammate, who was also indignant about these incidents, to follow up on the aftermath of these heinous events.

The captain granted them some permissions, allowing them to utilize TLT's resources to a certain extent to provide assistance and compensation to these victims who have suffered harm due to amnesia.

So... what exactly happened?

Looking at Kirino Makio's legs as he stood up again, Daigo Madoka was filled with doubt.

Just as he began to suspect that the file was wrong because the information didn't match, the young man next to him suddenly spoke up.

"Your leg is fine now, right?" Gu Nuo asked.

"Restored to its original state, thanks to you."

Kirino Makio pushed the tea set, which had been filled with tea, towards Gu Nuo. He lowered his head slightly and said, "I only came to my senses after I was healed. I was too obsessive after losing my leg. I'm sorry to Xiao Kui."

"So, have you apologized to your daughter?"

"Yes, I've tried many ways to make it up to her, and I hope she can forgive me."

The two suddenly launched into an inexplicable conversation, leaving Daigo Madoka and Kazuki Komon completely bewildered.

"that……"

In the end, it was Kazuki Komon who spoke first, cautiously observing the bespectacled man before him: "You are Mr. Kirino, right?"

"Yes, the lone gate team member,"

Kirino Makio tilted his head slightly, the lenses of his glasses reflecting a subtle light under the lamp: "I want to ask you and Captain Daigo, what are your thoughts on the future of this planet?"

-----------------

Chapter Thirty-Seven: Prophecy – The Death of Ultraman

"The future of this planet?"

Faced with this sudden question, Kazuki Komon froze on the spot, unsure how to respond.

But Daigo Madoka quickly realized the implication in the other person's words.

"You're asking this because of your superpowers, because you saw something, right?" he asked tentatively, his gaze fixed on the man who looked like a stay-at-home dad.

'good. ’

Upon hearing the voice that echoed in their minds, Daigo Madoka and Kazuki Komon sat up almost simultaneously.

There were just too many unexpected things happening today.

The man who was supposedly missing his legs is now standing perfectly healthy before me; the existence of a precognitive individual; and the seemingly pessimistic future of Earth hinted at in the other person's words...

The two took some time to process this information, and then exclaimed "Ah!" in unison, subconsciously looking at the boy beside them.

"...I already knew about the superpowers."

Gu Nuo, holding his teacup, blinked and asked, "So, it's just the two of you? Who exactly are you...?"

Even though that's what he asked, judging from Kirino Makio's unreserved admission of his superpowered status, he probably had some idea of ​​the two people's identities.

“...I am...Komon of the Night Raid Team.”

"Global Infinite Mission Squad... I am Daigo."

In front of a superpowered individual who could communicate with minds, concealment became meaningless. Furthermore, since the other party showed no intention of stopping them, Daigo Madoka and Kazuki Komon hesitated for a moment before revealing their true identities to Gu Nuo.

"Those are some of the futures I've only recently glimpsed."

After the two introduced themselves, Kirino Makio didn't waste any more words and chose to get straight to the point.

"This planet... will face more than just alien beasts in the future."

The very first sentence immediately made the atmosphere in the room heavy.

"The Earth is undergoing an unprecedented transformation,"

Kirino Makio's voice was low and soft, like a whisper, yet every word was clear:

"Darkness is gathering in the depths of the universe, like a storm about to break, sweeping across this land. But this is not merely an external crisis..."

He adjusted his glasses, his gaze piercing through the lenses and looking directly at the two of them:

"The dark side of the human heart is becoming a catalyst for this disaster. Suspicion, greed, and fear—these negative emotions will spread like a malignant tumor, providing the most fertile soil for the dying flowers."

His fingers unconsciously rubbed the teacup in his hand, and the bulging veins on the back of his hand revealed his unease.

“What’s even more worrying,” he said in a low voice, “is that certain sinister cosmic forces have been lurking in the shadows of Earth, like predators waiting for their prey, ready to deliver a fatal blow to humanity at its most vulnerable moment.”

Kirino Makio slowly raised his eyes to look out the window. Reflected in his glasses was what appeared to be a hazy sky.

"All the signs point to one critical juncture—the crisis that will soon unfold outside the pyramids. If humanity cannot overcome this challenge..."

He paused, the surface of the water in his teacup trembling slightly: "Then what awaits Earth is an irreversible end... This is not an exaggeration, but a vision of the future I have witnessed with my own eyes."

"The crisis outside the pyramids?" Daigo Madoka unconsciously repeated, a strange unease spreading through his heart.

He had a bad feeling, and it reminded him of the time machine hidden in the meteorite that fell from the sky more than a month ago.

The figure who appeared in the time machine mentioned the pyramids in addition to the story of the three giants!

"Threats beyond alien beasts..."

Komon Kazuki muttered to himself, and after a moment, he suddenly looked up: "Mr. Kirino, besides the prophecy, what other signs can corroborate your prediction that the prophecy is about to come true?"

This intelligence is of great importance, and he has to treat it with utmost care. If what the other party said is true, then the entire TLT should initiate the most comprehensive and rigorous preparations to deal with these impending crises.

"...The actions of the alien beasts will temporarily cease before the pyramid crisis arrives."

Kirino Makio did not show any displeasure at Komon Kazuki's questioning; he simply pushed up his glasses calmly and asked, "Is this enough of a sign?"

"Thank you for your information. Even without more evidence, this sign is enough to warrant attention." Daigo Madoka had fully recovered by now. He stood up, his expression grave.

He had to report this crucial intelligence to Captain Kijima immediately.

"On behalf of the TLT department, I would like to apologize for what you have experienced before."

Before leaving, Daigo Madoka seemed to suddenly remember something and said to Makio Kirino:

"Those who set fire to your residence and participated in the riots have been arrested by the police, and their cases are under further investigation. In addition, the TLT department will provide you with some financial compensation and other assistance. If you need anything, please call this number."

Even though this matter seemed insignificant compared to the intelligence concerning the survival of the Earth, he still did it.

He hadn't forgotten the original purpose of his operation. For Kirino Makio, this was some belated compensation, but for TLT, the damage caused in the past should not be forgotten just because something bigger was ahead.

Komon Kazuki then turned to Gu Nuo, carefully choosing his words: "I know what I heard today may be hard to believe, but could you please take this information with a grain of salt..."

He stopped abruptly, somewhat awkwardly, halfway through his sentence—the boy's face showed no trace of surprise, only a thoughtful expression.

"Yes, I won't go around telling everyone." Coming back to her senses, Gu Nuo nodded at him.

He watched the two figures hurry away, then Gu Nuo turned his head and looked at Kirino Makio beside him.

“In the future, Komon and Daigo will play very important roles, right?” he asked.

"Hmm." Kirino Makio nodded slightly, his gaze behind his glasses appearing somewhat deep.

"And what about me? In the future, will you see any information about me?"

"……some."

Kirino Makio slowly raised his head, his glasses reflecting a cold white light under the lamp, obscuring the emotions in his eyes.

"In the battle before the pyramids, humanity has achieved a temporary victory," his voice was low and calm, yet carried an indescribable weight.

"But you will die."

-----------------

Chapter Thirty-Eight: Adaptable One, Aren't you afraid of death?

Upon hearing this word, Gu Nuo's first reaction was that it was absurd.

die?

This word should have been something unattainable for him.

In his pocket, four stone talismans engraved with ancient animal patterns lay quietly asleep—two of them, a small dog with its head held high, symbolizing eternal life, and a galloping horse, which contained the miracle of curing all injuries and diseases.

But Kirino Makio's tone was too certain, so certain that it carried a heavy feeling of having seen through fate.

"Specifically, what will happen in the future?" Gu Nuo asked, wanting to know more details.

But to this question, Kirino Makio simply shook his head.

"That's all I can see; the rest I can't see clearly."

His superpowers were never all-powerful.

Although telepathy can cover half the globe, the foreseen future is like quicksand that cannot be grasped; the more you try to see it clearly, the faster it slips away.

He was forced to accept those uninvited images: fragmented scenes, blurry sounds, fleeting images, sometimes fragments from months later, sometimes just a glimpse of tomorrow.

But regardless of their clarity, those fleeting images all share a cruel commonality—

They never make a mistake.

Kirino Makio looked at Gu Nuo, waiting to see how the boy would react after learning of his unexplained death in the future.

"That's it."

To his surprise, the boy did not show any panic or doubt.
