What do you mean I have to fight Ultraman Tiga?

Page 182

The girl's soft voice rang out, prompting Li Xiang to unconsciously start chatting with her.

"Stars, but the stars haven't come out yet. What stars are you looking at?"

"Yes, there has always been a beautiful star in the sky, but you've forgotten about it, so you can't see it anymore."

As the girl spoke, she pointed to the horizon.

"I saw it, that beautiful—Ultra Star."

"Ultra Star?"

When Li Xiang heard the name, his heart ached, but just as he was about to ask the little girl what the Ultra Star was, the little girl turned around to face Li Xiang first and then slowly spoke.

"If the world really falls into crisis."

"...Will you become Ultraman and save the world?"

"Hey, tell me, what exactly is Ultraman!" Li Xiang rudely stepped forward to grab the girl, but in an instant, the girl had already vanished.

Li Xiang also missed his target.

The last rays of the setting sun fell upon the earth.

Children were laughing and playing on the grass.

Li Xiang felt empty inside.

"Ultraman...Star? What exactly is that...?"

The evening breeze ruffled the corner of Li Xiang's suit jacket, making it feel chilly.

So he wandered aimlessly in one direction.

He had no goals; he just wanted to clear his head.

A detective arrived at Eiji Tsuburaya's residence.

The detective politely knocked on Mr. Tsuburaya's door.

"I'm coming."

After Mr. Tsuburaya opened the door, he invited the detective into the house.

"It's you guys again. Honestly, I'm just an old man. What do you deep space exploration team want with me?"

“Mr. Tsuburaya, I am Lu Mofei, and... I do have something important to discuss with you.”

"Tell me what it is. If I can help you, I definitely will."

Hearing Mr. Tsuburaya say this, Lü Mofei felt more at ease.

At least regarding the existence of "Eiji Tsuburaya," it seems that Penworms have always wanted to influence him, but they have never been able to interfere with his speed.

The Deep Space Exploration Team has been in charge of liaising with Mr. Tsuburaya all along.

Because Lu Mofei has always suspected that Tsuburaya Productions might possess some kind of power that Penworms fear.

"Sir, do you know someone named Li Xiang?"

"Does he hear me? Of course I know him. He's a very nice kid, but he hasn't come to see me for a while... Has something happened to him?"

Tsuburaya asked worriedly, explaining that Li Xiang had moved out of Tsuburaya's house some time ago, citing inconvenience in going to the company, and had gone to rent a place instead.

"There's no problem, but... there's something unusual about him, so I wanted to confirm with you... I wanted to ask, is Li Xiang the meteor visitor who landed at Longsen Lake a while ago?"

“That’s right, he is that shooting star.” Tsuburaya didn’t hide anything. “Originally, I thought that someone like him would definitely come to contact him as soon as possible, so I took him in first.”

Lu Mofei gave a wry smile. The strategy for dealing with Eiji Tsuburaya at the time was to avoid contact as much as possible. Therefore, the Deep Space Exploration Team did not choose to make contact with someone like Li Xiang because of their trust in Tsuburaya.

“However, he hasn’t come here for the past two days… I know that kid very well, something must have happened to him, right?”

"He...I guess something happened to him," Lu Mofei answered truthfully without hiding anything.

“Mr. Tsuburaya, that child has been affected by an anomaly and has forgotten many things, but what he has forgotten is extremely important, even concerning the world!” Lu Mofei suddenly became serious. “But only he himself can find out exactly what he has forgotten. We… can hardly help him.”

"But Mr. Tsuburaya, you are different. There is an anomaly that has been trying to influence you, but you have been resisting its distortion with your own power. So I would like to ask you to help Li Xiang find what he has forgotten. I beg you!"

Although Lu Mofei was a Westerner, she still followed Japanese etiquette and bowed to Eiji Tsuburaya to express her gratitude.

"Oh, I see... So that's why you young people used to come and hang around my house all day when you had nothing better to do."

"Well, they were afraid of bothering you... We didn't classify you as abnormal, so we were very careful and finally decided to keep things as they are and not have too much contact with you."

"I see. I've granted your request... Although I don't know if I can help you, I will do my best."

"Thank you so much, Mr. Tsuburaya!"

After chatting with Eiji Tsuburaya for a while, Lu Mofei was about to leave.

There was nothing that could be done; the frequency of anomalies had been unusually high lately. Lu Mofei guessed that the pen worms might have collected a large amount of energy and were preparing to break through the world's barrier. These anomalies were because the passages came from other worlds.

Just as Lü Mofei was leaving, he saw Li Xiang, who had just arrived.

Li Xiang was just taking a walk in a daze, and didn't know why he ended up here.

Lu Mofei didn't say much, but patted Li Xiang on the shoulder and left.

Li Xiang, on the other hand, looked at Mr. Tsuburaya, who was waiting for him at the door.

A familiar feeling welled up inside me.

"You are...Mr. Tsuburaya?"

"What's wrong? Have you forgotten me after just a few days? Ring!"

Chapter 205 Swallows, oh swallows!

Li Xiang was invited into the house by Tsuburaya.

However, looking at the layout here, he felt a sense of familiarity.

Seeing Li Xiang looking around, Tsuburaya invited him to sit down and then asked, "Xiang, have you really forgotten?"

"I...I forgot what?"

Li Xiang looked at Mr. Tsuburaya with a pleading gaze.

"You've forgotten, haven't you... your heart..."

"my heart?"

“Yes, your heart.” Mr. Tsuburaya took out the GUTS uniform that Li Xiang had previously left here, as well as the petrified Spark Prism, and handed them to Li Xiang.

"These are all things you left here. Someone wanted you to forget everything, and they almost succeeded... So, Hibiki, are you willing to look back on the past and break free from your current life?"

Li Xiang looked at the object in front of him, but had no recollection of it.

On the contrary, it was Mr. Tsuburaya who told himself that he was being deceived?

However, Li Xiang considered himself just an ordinary company employee, and even the monster movie he was in charge of had been canceled, so he was just a useless office worker.

Who would deceive someone like me?

What are those so-called anomalies in the news?

That's really boring, to actually come looking for someone like me.

However, Tsuburaya noticed Li Xiang's disbelieving expression.

"Don't you believe me... Actually, I'm from Venus."

“A Venusian?” Li Xiang was drawn in by Tsuburaya’s words. “This kind of joke… I didn’t expect Mr. Tsuburaya to be so witty.”

"What? You don't believe me?" Tsuburaya smiled. "I am indeed a Golden Heart person, but I've forgotten why I'm on Earth."

Mr. Tsuburaya sighed, but still tried to put on a smile.

"Actually, I'm just like you, I've forgotten a lot of things... One night, I was thinking about something and couldn't fall asleep, so I went for a walk at Longsen Lake... I forgot what happened after that, but now it seems like someone was secretly sabotaging me."

"I forgot about an important friend and the precious gift he gave me."

As Eiji Tsuburaya spoke, his face clearly showed sadness and longing.

"...What exactly have I forgotten?"

As Li Xiang listened to Eiji Tsuburaya's words, the words of the girl in red shoes under the setting sun once again appeared in his mind's eye.

"It's... the Heart of Ultra!"

Li Xiang blurted out those words without thinking.

When Eiji Tsuburaya heard "Ultraman Star," the disappointment on his face slowly turned into understanding.

"Ultraman...Star?"

"Ultra Star!"

"Yes, I remember now, what I forgot is the Land of Light."

So, Tsuburaya grabbed Li Xiang's shoulder and said to him with unwavering resolve.

"Hibiki, hurry... hurry up and start searching! What are you still doing here? Go find the Ultra Star!"

As he spoke, Tsuburaya lifted Li Xiang up.

Li Xiang: Has this old man always been this strong?

Li Xiang was brought before Tsuburaya.

Outside, it was pitch black.

"Hibiki, please, go find the Ultra Star."

"Mr. Tsuburaya... but I!"

Li Xiang wanted to say something, but seeing the expectation on Mr. Tsuburaya's face, he swallowed his refusal.

"I...I promise you, Mr. Tsuburaya, although I don't know what the Ultra Star is, I will...do my best to find it."

"Not just as much as possible, but to the utmost!"

The night is lonely.

The evening breeze pattered against the hem of Li Xiang's clothes.

White lights flickered on the street, and a few fallen leaves were swept away by the wind.
