I'm really just human

It's a little different from the yakiniku restaurant in the Agito copy.

"Is it too late, Kaminaga?"

Former Ford team biologist Funane Yumi greeted and complained.

Wearing round-frame glasses and with her long hair simply tied up, she looks like she has not yet gotten rid of her schoolboy air, like a young teacher who is still teaching in school.

"Speaking of which, you guys are really something. You wear suits when you go out for a dinner party. Don't you have any other casual clothes?"

"got used to."

Xiachuan sat down opposite Tamura.

The former members of the Ford Team met again after 5 years. Tamura, Hiroko, Funae Yumi... Taki Akihisa, who had rarely appeared in public, was also called over.

But he still sat in the corner muttering to himself, no one knew what he was thinking about.

The last time I saw this guy was during the Amazons apartment incident, and he seems to have changed his address since then.

"I really envy you guys," Funane Yumi sighed after looking at Natsukawa and the others, "Kannaga and Hiroko are teachers now, right? The captain has also become the principal... Unlike me, I was transferred to a remote department for retirement, doing the same boring work every day."

"Hiroko is not a teacher," Tamura explained with a smile, "Now Hiroko is active on the front line as the leader of the alliance support team. Not long ago, she became a knight and is highly valued by the higher-ups..."

"What do you mean by importance? You just treat me as an errand boy."

Hiroko Asami gritted her teeth and clenched her chopsticks tightly.

"No matter what I do, those guys always ask me about other knights on the list, and what they are looking for recently, saying that it is related to the survival of the world."

"world……"

Taki Mingjiu suddenly raised his head and said with a haggard look.

"There are only 14 years left. There is no way out. Beta technology is completely ineffective, Ultraman disappears... This world will definitely perish."

"What are you talking about, Taki?"

Yumi Funen pushed the frame and asked suspiciously.

"You were acting weird last time. Don't you have a job now? I heard you haven't returned to your research lab at Chengbei University."

"You don't understand."

Taki Mingjiu was so depressed that he couldn't say anything, and could only look at Xia Chuan who knew the truth.

"Kanniaga, I'm starting to study the Knight system now. Do you think we can find a way to save the Earth from the Knight world?"

Before Xiachuan could respond, Taki Mingjiu smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"I'm overthinking it. The gap is so big that nothing can be changed."

"How will you know if you don't try?"

Xia Chuan reached out and pressed the service bell.

He still had his original idea.

Whether it is the Knight or Ultraman, these two systems have their own strengths, as long as the power can be used, it's fine.

If he were in the Ultra World, how could a D-level life form have the ability to deal with time?

Maybe the knight in this world is not powerful enough, but what if he is also Ultraman?

"Hello," a waitress came over, "How can I help you?"

"Please get me a portion of beef..."

Xia Chuan stared at the waiter's back in a daze.

It seemed like something strange was revealed just now.

Tail?

Are aliens already everywhere?

"Does it look good?" Hiroko Asami tapped the table to remind her.

"It probably won't look good." Xia Chuan said thoughtfully.

How good can the real body of an alien that uses mimicry be?

It is hard to say about the aliens in the Ultra Universe. Most of the aliens in this world have strange appearances, which do not conform to the usual morphological cognition of humans.

"cough!"

Tamura cleared his throat to get everyone's attention.

"Let's talk about the current situation. I believe you have heard about the mysterious fog that appeared on the sea."

"I know a little about this," Taki Mingjiu said, "A friend sent me a composition test report. That thing is not a product of Earth and violates many physical laws. However, it is not toxic or harmful. It just blocks communications."

"I have new information here."

Tamura said as he took a sip of tea.

"The mist will increase the chances of space-time rifts appearing. If you are unlucky enough to enter, you will easily be sucked into another world."

"It should be fine as long as we don't go out to sea, right?" Taki Mingjiu said nonchalantly.

“That’s the crux of the matter.”

Tamura shook his head secretly.

A genius scholar in physics, but he knows nothing about some common sense.

"We are a country that is too dependent on imports. When the surrounding waters are completely blocked, guess what will happen?"

"Hiss," Funae Yumi slapped her thigh, "No wonder the price of toilet paper suddenly went up when I went to buy it today!"

"What does the captain want to say?"

"I'm afraid the role of knights will be even greater in the future."

Tamura sighed slightly with a hint of sadness.

"Not only do we need knights to explore new routes, but we also need to explore dungeons... The Alliance should try to exploit the value of dungeons as much as possible, especially the time-space dungeons that are equivalent to complete worlds."

"But," Taki Mingjiu looked confused, "Won't all time and space copies close automatically?"

"I don't know the reason yet. It seems to be related to the dungeon clearing knight..."

"Another serving of beef."

Xia Chuan quietly immersed himself in grilling the meat, still thinking about the gentleman's matter in his heart.

Only in the Knight World can he fully exert his fighting power, but he seems to prefer standing behind the scenes, and it is unknown whether he will enter the Knight World again.

"By the way, Hiroko," Tamura suddenly asked, "you guys are going to enter a small dungeon next, right?"

"It will be tomorrow. The Alliance has already conducted a survey and the response level is not high. It is a temporary copy of the evil demons. It is a good opportunity to see if we can get some props and equipment."

Asami Hiroko muttered to herself.

The bow and arrow belt buckle was quite useful for her, but it left Xiachuan without a weapon.

It is said that those lucky ones in the past all picked up item boxes in similar dungeons, and the high-level weapon belt buckles currently kept by the Alliance are no exception.

I have to try my luck this time.

As for security…

The Demon Disciple temporary copy may be the safest copy, and ordinary people can pick up item boxes from it.

"You still have to be careful," Tamura said in a deep voice, "The world has become more and more confusing lately. It feels like anything can happen."

Xia Chuan's eyelids twitched slightly, and some white fog images suddenly flashed through his mind.

The Hypa was severely downgraded in this world, but perhaps because of the promotion to level 6, he also touched upon some related abilities and could occasionally see something.

This time, the white fog seemed to speed up the progress of the copy fusion.

……

"what--!"

White fog was surging in the forest outside the city. A hiker was suddenly dragged away by spider silk, and his screams echoed throughout the mountain area.

Several long legs could be vaguely seen moving in the dark camp.

"Monster, monster!"

Chapter 222: Mist, Monster

2023-07-10

The mountains were covered with mist in the early morning.

A team of police officers took Fujiwara Saiji to the hikers' camp where the incident occurred to investigate.

In fact, the task was originally supposed to be taken by another patrol knight, but the other party was unable to come at the last minute, so the task fell on him.

The Fujiwara Group ultimately failed to hold on, and he, once a wealthy young master, instantly fell from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the valley. There was no one to lead him anymore, and he no longer had the qualifications to be willful.

In just one month, I had seen enough of the fickleness of human nature. The outlook on life and the world view that I had built up over more than ten years collapsed in an instant.

Now he can be said to have lost everything, leaving only the Knight School and his identity as a knight.

Walking on the wooden bridge across the stream, Fujiwara Saiji silently looked at the diamond crystals sparkling in the distant mountains.

There were some things he didn't dare tell Xia Chuan.

In fact, he could accept his alien insect brother in his heart.

My brother might be like Reina Mamiya, where the human heart is controlling the alien insects.

Moreover, he has never seen the real Fujiwara No. 1. The ones who have always been in front of him to protect him from the wind and rain are all the insect brothers.

No matter how much I think...

My brother is right, he is indeed a loser.

But he doesn't hate himself for being like this. No matter how much he imitates his brother, he is always Fujiwara Saiji.

Perhaps it was because of this that the mentor chose to complete the battle that originally belonged to him on his behalf.

"Mr. Fujiwara?"

The old policeman who led the way waved and called out.

"It's right in front. I heard that many people saw a monster as big as a hill, and all the missing people were eaten..."

"Wouldn't that make it a monster? Monsters don't exist anymore, right?"

Fujiwara Saiji muttered as he thought of Natsukawa.

Even the instructor changed his profession to become a knight, although his combat capability seems a bit excessive.

"Who knows? Anyway, it's very large. This matter is beyond our ability to handle."

The old police officer was the first to find the camp.

Debris was scattered all over the ground, the extinguished campfire was still emitting smoke, and there were footprints of fleeing everywhere.

There were indeed traces of dragging on the side close to the dense forest, and some white spider silk hanging between the dry branches.

"It's very big... How big can it be?"

Fujiwara Saiji picked up the spider silk and examined it for a while, then his eyes turned to the mist in the forest that had not dissipated for a long time.

By the way, it seems that a new small copy is also here.

I heard that the alliance has completed the exploration ahead of schedule, and today is the second group of teams entering.

Could this monster have escaped from the dungeon?

"That is……"

The coldness on Fujiwara Saiji's face disappeared, and he came back to his senses as he looked at the thick foggy forest.

He didn’t know if it was an illusion, but he seemed to see Xia Chuan.

"Why is the mentor here?"

He knew that outsiders had no idea what a true mentor was.
