Chapter 103, Section 102: The Director's Goodwill and Battle Plan (Third Update)
Following the sound of the woman's panting, Jiang Yu teleported all the way until he stopped beside a park bench.
Looking at the woman who seemed to be struggling to breathe, Jiang Yu raised an eyebrow, feeling that her figure was somewhat familiar.
I remember someone who was so flat-chested —
"Sachiko?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Nohara Sachiko looked up in surprise, and Jiang Yu's face instantly came into view.
"Jiang Yu! You're back?!"
Jiang Yu held back the impulsive Nohara Sachiko with one hand and said somewhat speechlessly, "Didn't I tell you it was a move? Why do you make it seem like it's strange that I came back? I haven't even left the island yet."
I haven't even asked you yet, what are you doing out in the middle of the night?
"Right, right, Jiang Yu, hurry and save Feibiao. That child is probably being chased by that crow-headed weirdo."
Nohara Sachiko realized that if she was not in danger, the crow-headed monster must have gone after Asuka Shin on the other side.
"Birds?"
Jiang Yu frowned even more deeply. The Crow Man could understand why this was related to Asuka Shin.
The child involved in this matter was originally supposed to be Xincheng's nephew or younger brother.
"Yes, it's a bird, the one I mentioned to you before."
Jiang Yu, please, please go and save him! I know you have the ability, right?
Sachiko Nohara stared wide-eyed at Jiang Yu, her face filled with hope.
"Alright, enough talk. You give us directions, and we'll go rescue them."
Jiang Yu didn't know when he had been exposed in front of Nohara Sachiko, but he couldn't care less about saving people now, especially since he was destined to become Dyna's Asuka Shin.
If Asuka returns and finds out that her son is in trouble, then things will get really interesting.
Jiang Yu grabbed Nohara Sachiko's shoulder and, following her instructions, teleported towards their destination.
As Sachiko Nohara gave directions, she was secretly amazed by the experience. Instant teleportation—shouldn't this ability only exist in novels or anime?
So, Ultraman can do that too?
Distracted, Sachiko Nohara glanced at Jiang Yu's profile and felt a sudden, inexplicable sense of loss.
It seems like we're from completely different worlds.
Meanwhile, Asuka Shin was running wildly down the park path, not daring to look back even once.
Children's physical strength is not as good as adults', so they should run as fast as they can right now.
Fortunately, due to recent fears about missing persons, there are no passersby at this time of day, so Asuka Shin doesn't need to worry about anyone blocking his way.
"You can't escape!"
The shrill cry of the crow-man rang out behind Asuka Shin, and a beam of shrinking light also shot precisely at Asuka Shin's location.
"not good."
Perhaps because of his special sense of danger, Shin Asuka knew without looking back what the consequences would be if he didn't struggle.
Like that drunkard, he shrank and was sucked into that gun.
What should Mom do if this guy really takes her away?
My mother will go crazy if he disappears too, since she has already lost her father.
With this thought in mind, Asuka Shin gritted his teeth, leaped into the bushes ahead, and narrowly avoided the shrinking light.
However, because he had fallen quite hard, Asuka Shin didn't have the strength to struggle up and continue running.
He could only support himself with his elbows as he struggled to crawl on the ground.
Looking back at the situation at this point is useless; you can only do what you can.
"Haha, you little rascal, you can run pretty fast."
The crow-man walked over with the shrinking gun, aiming at the struggling bird, Xin, with his finger on the trigger.
Now, there will be no more surprises.
Having gotten used to doing easy things, it's quite interesting to suddenly see humans struggling. They seem a bit different from the animals on my home planet.
Swish!
Jiang Yu and Nohara Sachiko appeared in the bushes on the other side. Seeing the crow man's actions, Nohara Sachiko was about to say something.
Jiang Yu had already taken out the Energy Burst Gun and fired at the Crowman first.
With a single energy blast, the crowman was reduced to ashes before he could react, leaving only a shrinking gun behind.
"Asuka!"
Seeing the crow-man disappear, Nohara Sachiko felt relieved, but loudly reminded Asuka Shin, who was still not stopping.
"Um?"
Reminded, Asuka Shin looked back, only to find that the crow-man who made the strange laugh had disappeared.
"Where's that strange guy?"
"He's dead, completely and utterly gone."
Jiang Yu walked over, picked up the shrinking gun from the ground, and briefly explained it to Asuka Shin.
The Crow People are some kind of pathetic life form; after being destroyed, no power can be collected at all. No wonder they sneak around doing human trafficking; they're far inferior to the Kirieloids.
"Dead? Uncle, are you from the GUTS team? You took him down with one shot?"
With Sachiko Nohara's help, Asuka Shin got up and asked curiously.
If he remembered correctly, there didn't seem to be anyone like Chang Jiangyu on the Victory team.
However, in Shin Asuka's mind, only the GUTS team should be able to solve those strange things.
"Little rascal, come home early, don't make your mother worry."
He looks like such a grown man, yet I'm still so worried about him.
Jiang Yu glanced at Asuka Shin and thought to himself that he was indeed a problem child.
He calls everyone he meets "uncle," so I'll let it go and not make a fuss about it.
"Uncle, there's someone inside this gun. We need to find a way to get him out."
Asuka Shin reminded him that there was at least one drunkard inside.
"Okay, okay, you're just a kid, don't worry about this stuff."
"Sachiko, do you still have any money on you? You and this kid take the bus home; I have something to do."
Jiang Yu looked at the shrinking gun in his hand with a headache. What could he do about this kind of technical thing? He could only trouble Horii tonight. Hopefully, he wasn't asleep yet.
"Okay, I got it. Asuka, let's go."
Nohara Sachiko took one last look at Jiang Yu before leaving with Asuka Shin.
Jiang Yu watched the two get into the car, and only after confirming that the driver wasn't some alien hiding in the city doing bad things did he leave the park, preparing to contact Megumi Kijima.
It seems that Tiga's light is somewhat restricted after returning to the Tiga world. If Jiang Yu doesn't want to waste his transformation on the journey, he can only ask Megumi Kijima to send someone to pick him up.
Hopefully it's not Daigo. The technology in Shinjo is much more normal now. It's just that Daigo is making Jiang Yu anxious.
After explaining the situation at the PDI, Irihime immediately had someone wake up Hoi and said she would make arrangements.
Shinjo came to pick her up again. According to Shinjo, Lina was in the recovery period and was lying in a hospital bed, with Daigo taking care of her.
Even through the helmet, Jiang Yu could smell a sour smell, somewhat like the resentment of an older single person.
Despite yearning for love, it always slips through our fingers.
Jiang Yu had no intention of comforting him. He himself didn't understand this and had no particular thoughts about it. At most, he would just chat with people for a bit.
As for Xincheng, it seems he'll still be single even after more than a decade, so he might as well give up on that idea.
It can only be said that when there is no fate, you really can't force it.
If I can't hold my son, I can hold my nephew in the future.
The plane returned to base safely, and Jiang Yu and Xin Cheng went to the command room as quickly as possible.
When they arrived, everyone from the GUTS team was present except for Daigo and Rena.
As soon as Jiang Yu appeared, Horii asked about the shrinking gun.
When Jiang Yu pulled the gun out of thin air, Jui-jing was surprised for a moment, but he didn't say anything and just took it to study.
For Horii, the fact that a being the size of Ultraman could have been transformed from a humanoid creature was already perplexing enough.
The rest is not surprising.
To Jiang Yu's surprise, Director Zejing was present.
"Mr. Jiang Yu, it's been a long time since we last met. I apologize again for what happened last time."
You've been wronged because of the ambitions of a few individuals within our ranks.
Despite looking exhausted, Director Zejing still mustered his energy to shake hands and greet Jiang Yu.
Repairing the relationship between the Victory team members and Jiang Yu is the first step; for the rest, he needs to personally express his stance to demonstrate his sincerity.
There's no way humans can afford to push a powerful ally to the enemy's side.
"It's alright, Director, I've already let it go about what happened last time."
No one will ever have that opportunity again.
If I act rashly should such a person appear again, please forgive me, Director.
After the explanation was clear, everyone sat down.
Director Sawai sat in the main seat, looked at Jiang Yu sitting opposite him, and inquired about information related to the Crow People.
During the PDI, Jiang Yu only briefly explained the situation to Kijima Hui, without revealing any more specific details.
"Those crow people are from Lebik, probably from Earth who came to plunder slaves."
"slave?"
Director Sawai was not only angry but also puzzled. Why would an alien from a distant planet come to Earth to enslave and plunder humans?
"That's right, those guys don't have the ability to grow to enormous sizes; they rely on spaceships to move around."
Jiang Yu tried hard to recall the relevant details, and finally added, "We absolutely cannot let them return to their home planet and send back Earth's coordinates. If they go all out to plunder Earthlings, it will probably cause a lot of trouble."
This is not an exaggeration. Humanity on Earth is now, thanks to the TPC created by Sawai, which is extremely rare and has barely managed to unite, creating a miracle that has never been seen before in human history.
But all of this is predicated on common challenges brought about by the development of civilization, such as aliens and monsters.
If only one country had borne the burden, the situation would definitely not be as good as it is now.
Even so, the endless monster disasters still kept TPC and the militaries of various countries busy.
Giants don't just appear out of nowhere to put out fires. Under normal circumstances, monsters with minor damage require the cooperation of various TPC branches and national forces to eliminate them.
If another planetary species that has mastered interstellar travel technology were to launch a large-scale invasion at this time...
If we are not careful, the situation could deteriorate to an extremely terrifying degree.
When humanity itself falls into panic, it's not something that one or two Ultramen can solve.
"I understand, Mr. Jiang Yu."
Director Sawai replied seriously, then looked at Megumi Kijima.
"Captain Ju, immediately conduct big data statistical analysis on the hiding places of the Lebik aliens."
If support is needed, TPC ground forces in Tokyo can begin assembling immediately.
"clear!"
Megumi nodded in agreement, got up and went to Nozue's side to begin compiling the database statistics.
In recent days, the number of missing persons reported by police stations across the country has already been entered into TPC's database.
After Ye Rui imported his model, the situation of missing persons in various places became clear at a glance.
"Concentrated in Tokyo, with the highest density in the suburbs —"
Director Sawai looked at the big screen and pondered for a moment.
Are there any abandoned buildings or factories in the suburbs?
Jiang Yu reminded him at the right time that he didn't remember very clearly and could only guide him.
"Wait a minute, we'll find it soon!"
Ye Rui's fingers flew across the keyboard, and soon an image that closely matched Jiang Yu's mind appeared on the big screen.
The scene was desolate, with dilapidated buildings and countless crows circling around.
"This place has been abandoned for more than 30 years. It seems that the owner of the land has never had any intention of developing it."
While explaining, Ye Rui also retrieved satellite images.
"There are only occasional signs of human activity here at night —"
Ye Rui's expression was rather unpleasant. He had clearly checked this place before, but he assumed it was just a remote area with only occasional passersby. He never expected it to be like this—
"Heh, I really got played by those guys."
Sawai smiled faintly, but her gaze had already turned sharp.
Putting aside other places, within Japan, these chaebols and powerful figures are simply too much of a hindrance.
Even the TPCs could only get them to cooperate, which allowed beings like the Lebik aliens to exploit the loophole.
Even if it's remote, it's still Tokyo. If they don't develop this kind of land, they're treating people like fools.
"Captain, all combat-capable members of the Victory Team are on standby. We will depart immediately once the Digging Team develops a tool to counter the shrinking ray."
Also, inform Director Yoshioka—never mind, I'll personally inform him.
Considering his old partner's personality, Director Sawai felt it would be more appropriate for him to go himself.
"clear!"
"Director, could I come along this time?"
Jiang Yu suddenly spoke up.
Director Zejing was somewhat surprised and said, "Mr. Jiang Yu, you—"
"Just think of me as someone who dislikes these aliens who like to scam people. Actually, I lied to you before. I'm actually an Earthling, an Earthling from another universe."
"Stop joking around—"
Xincheng laughed out loud, instinctively wanting to retort, how could Jiang Yu possibly be an earthling in this situation?
"Okay, I believe you, Mr. Jiang Yu. Thank you for participating in the operation."
Director Zejing interrupted Shinjo and gave Jiang Yu a deep look.
Regardless of whether what he said was true or false, Jiang Yu was expressing goodwill, and Director Zejing couldn't find a reason to refuse.
Sometimes, the truth of a matter is not important.
Director Sawai left in a hurry, and Munakata began to deploy the battle plan. All the Victory team members listened attentively, except for Kijima Megumi, who was in charge of overseeing the command room, who walked to Jiang Yu's side.
"Mr. Jiang Yu, are you really from Earth?"
"Of course, I have no reason to lie to you now."
"Back then—"
"In the past, I don't know if you, Captain, can understand, but when people don't have enough power to protect themselves, they always tend to do things that they actually hate."
For example, deception.
"So we don't need it now?"
"certainly."
Jiang Yu took out the bronze divine light staff and smiled.
"Although there are still some limitations, at least TPC no longer has the ability to harm me."
Her pupils contracted slightly, but she quickly regained her composure.
At least when Jiang Yu is normal, this is a good thing.
