Fang Xinhan began to put away the last props, while Taro watched silently from the side.
“That’s the Mebius Brace, and that Ultraman shoulder emblem that’s like mine but has an evil aura. And this man has both light and dark auras on him, just who exactly is he…?”
Chaos Taro is a character from “Ultraman Fighting Evolution Rebirth”. He is also known as Chaos Android T, Chaos Mecha T, and other names. He is an evil Ultraman created by Alien Mephilas using Taro Ultraman’s battle data and the Chaos virus, just like Chaos Ultraman and Chaos Seven. He possesses strength not inferior to Taro Ultraman.
(What Taro saw was the Chaos Ultraman Shoulder Emblem. Since this item wasn't in the special supplement, I just wrote whatever.)
After Fang Xinhan finished tidying everything, he sat down.
“So, Taro Ultraman, um, can I just call you Taro? I always feel a bit chuunibyou calling you by your full name.”
Taro nodded.
“So, Taro, what do you want to know? Is it about this world or the Ultramen?”
“What do you mean?”
“Your Older Brothers should have told you about parallel worlds, right?”
Then Fang Xinhan told Taro about the Ultraman 8 Brothers storyline, the Galaxy Ultraman storyline, and the instance dungeon game of this world, among other things.
Taro: Born of Mother of Ultra.
“So, according to the original plot, after I was turned into a Spark Doll by Lugiel, I would meet Reidō Hikaru, Galaxy Ultraman’s human host, and then after a series of events, I would eventually defeat Lugiel and the incident would end, right?”
Fang Xinhan unhurriedly crafted a Galaxy Spark on the workbench and then held it in his hand, playing with it.
“Yes, to turn you back into your true form, you need to gather the light of hope from everyone into your body, but in that case, you’d only have three minutes. Of course, you could also defeat Lugiel to make the power within you disappear, or get the Dark Spark to undo your state.”
“Then what should I do? Am I not in the universe I was supposed to be in anymore? Will I never be able to turn back?”
Taro was a little dejected. His parents, Older Brothers, and various warriors from the Land of Light had also been turned into Spark Dolls.
Fang Xinhan gently stroked Taro’s Ultraman Horn with his right hand.
“Don’t worry, even if you can’t get the Dark Spark, as long as you get the plot token for the TV series’ final chapter, then when you go to the Galaxy Universe, defeating Lugiel will be enough.”
“Really?”
Taro’s eyes seemed to flash.
“But before that, you’ll have to put up with being a Spark Doll for a bit longer. It’s getting late, so I need to exit the Inner World.”
Taro was stunned, indicating he wanted to see this world with Fang Xinhan.
Fang Xinhan was a bit conflicted; on one hand, he didn’t want to expose his identity, and on the other, he couldn’t imagine what would happen if his Older Sister found out about a talking Spark Doll.
But then he thought, Taro seems to be able to feel the light within him. No matter what he turns into, Taro will be able to sense him, so exposure is only a matter of time.
“Alright, but we have three rules.”
First, Fang Xinhan’s true identity must never be revealed at any time.
Second, Fang Xinhan will provide information about this world to Taro, and even undertake instance missions with Taro, but on the condition that Taro is obedient.
Third, normally, if Taro discovers anything amiss, he must use Ultra Telekinesis to communicate with Fang Xinhan and not attract the attention of others.
Taro agreed, and then the person and the doll appeared in Fang Xinhan’s home.
“Is this your home?”
Taro took small, quick steps, looking around Fang Xinhan’s home.
At this moment, Fang Xinhan also took off his Player’s headgear.
“So you’re still a child!”
Taro was surprised by Fang Xinhan’s age, as it was customary for children Fang Xinhan’s age to still be in school.
“Don’t be so surprised. Come into my room.”
Fang Xinhan said, picking up Taro and walking towards his room.
Upon entering the room, well, it was very neat and clean.
Then Fang Xinhan opened his laptop and started searching on it.
“These are…”
Taro watched as Fang Xinhan searched for information about “Ultraman Taro” online, and then saw his own embarrassing past.
“This is truly super cringe.”
Fang Xinhan checked the time, then told Taro to search for whatever he wanted to know himself. After leaving the room, Dongfeng also returned from school.
“You’ve worked hard. Now go back and rest.”
A flash of white light, and Dongfeng returned to the Inner World island.
Then Fang Xinhan took out today’s test papers from his backpack and started doing them.
Still that unknown underground forest.
Boss Lin sighed, listening to his subordinate’s report.
“Did the Management Bureau people still find out? Tell them to be careful with their actions recently. Don’t contact me unless it’s extremely important information.”
“Yes.”
Boss Lin pressed his right hand against his temple and then asked the researchers how the H54 improvement was progressing.
“The experiment is still not ideal. If that previous test subject hadn’t escaped, we could have extracted enough blood from him for the experiment.”
Speaking of the escaped test subject, Wang Jie, dressed in a modified Night Raid Team uniform, had joined the Third Combat Squad.
The Tianlan City Administration has a total of three combat squads, and the captains of the three combat squads are:
First Squad: Fang Nuannuan
Second Squad: Qin An
Third Squad, also the captain of Night Raid Team A: Zhao Liang
Wang Jie is now also a member of Night Raid Team A, enjoying not only five insurances and one housing fund but also holidays.
And because Wang Jie did not gain his extraordinary abilities through an instance dungeon game, the higher-ups paid even more attention to him.
“So Liang Boss took all the good stuff from the entire underground city?”
An old man nearing fifty sat in his office, drinking bubble tea while listening to Qin An’s report.
This old man was Li Weimin, the Director of the Tianlan City Administration.
“Yes, but if Liang Boss hadn’t helped with this incident, I might have failed. The monsters inside weren’t too difficult to deal with; the main dangers were the traps and mechanisms, as well as those monsters that would occasionally jump out and catch you off guard.”
“Alright, I understand. One more thing, there’s an internal mole within our Management Bureau. The higher-ups are trying to start an investigation. Do you have any leads?”
Li Weimin put down his bubble tea and said seriously.
“I’m not entirely sure. It could be the technical department, since those technologies passed through their hands. It could also be the team members who escorted the machine back at the time.”
“Indeed, but we already investigated those people immediately. And this incident might also be a mess that the people behind the mole couldn’t solve themselves, so they handed it over to us.”
Li Weimin placed a document on the table.
“This is the statement from the person who reported discovering the cave.”
Qin An initially saw no problem, but then, upon a second look, he noticed the issue.
“Did you notice? Even Players couldn’t fully withstand entering the cave. The reporter was just an ordinary person; there must have been other Players nearby who pulled him back. The purpose was to make our Management Bureau take over the mess they couldn’t handle.”
