"Ouch!!" In this strange light, Garubelus suddenly felt energetic and full of power, making him roar loudly.
"Hahaha!!" Looking at the newly upgraded Garubelus, Dark Zaki laughed wildly again.
In his manic laughter, Galuberus was completely transformed, growing from 52 meters to 83 meters, and his weight also increased to 45,000 tons!
Not only has its height and weight changed, its claws and fangs seem to have been ground with a whetstone, becoming more slender and sharper than before. The two heads on its head are also more mobile and can stretch out hundreds of meters like tentacles. , and a wrinkled sarcoma bulged out behind it, which was disgusting.
"Uh..." In a blur, Zhichuan felt like he was being lifted up, as if he was being lifted into the car, and then being lifted down again. A warm current came from his right arm, followed by a pain signal, and then he seemed to be let go. What kind of powder...
When he opened his eyes again, it was already the morning of the next day. Looking at the completely unfamiliar ceiling, he felt doubtful. Then he looked at the pale pink quilt covering himself and his bandaged right arm. He probably Understand something.
Sure enough, I looked at the bedside and saw that it was the girl from yesterday. She seemed to be very tired, so she fell asleep leaning on the tatami with her clothes on... Next to her was a small household medical kit, with pliers on it. Bloodstains...
The Evolution Truster and the shock wave launcher were still on the table. He stood up gently, quietly put on his clothes, installed the Evolution Trustee and the shock wave launcher, carefully opened the door and left.
"Well..." Rumi woke up in a daze. When she opened her eyes, she saw that the quilt was flat and the hour hand of the alarm clock was pointing at "8".
"It's still early..." She yawned, closed her eyes and prepared to sleep for a while, but she suddenly realized something was wrong and opened her eyes suddenly: "Where is Hiruchuan-senpai?!"
Of course no one answered her in the empty room, but a crow came and cawing...
"Have you left already?" Seeing that his things were also gone, Rumi muttered dissatisfiedly: "I'd better say something..."
"Forget it, let's pack up quickly and go to the newspaper office!"
She got up to wash up, and then put away the medical kit that had been used to treat Hiruchuan last night. While mopping the floor, she unexpectedly saw a letter that fell under the bed. She was too tired last night and didn't pay attention to it. It seemed like... From Hiruchuan-senpai?
She picked it up and looked at it, and saw "To our favorite child: Mitsuhiko" written on it.
"Huh? Did Hiruchuan-senpai's parents write it to him?"
With instinctive curiosity, she opened the envelope:
"Is Mitsuhiko home?
Haha, if you can read this letter, it means you are back. Mom won’t say anything, and she also knows that you are busy outside and don’t have time to come back, so mom wants to leave you a letter in case you come back. Sometimes I can't find my mother.
Mom wants to tell you that your father passed away..."
After reading this, Rumei felt a thump in her heart and continued to look down:
"It happened in November this year. In October, his memory became worse and worse. He even forgot to take it out and just pooped it in his pants when he had time to go to the toilet. The doctor in the village suggested that we go to the big hospital in the city for a checkup. But your dad was not willing to spend money and kept saying it was okay... He originally planned to contact you, but your parents are old and confused. When they sent you away, they forgot where you went and didn't leave a phone number. I didn’t have time to tell you that my home phone number was changed, and I don’t know where you are…
After taking care of your dad's affairs, mom decided to go to the city to find you. If you come back one day and see this letter, call mom on the phone number above. Mom has already lost your dad and can't lose you anymore... "
Rumi did not continue to look down. She was more emotional. This moment made her unable to hold back, and tears suddenly burst into her eyes...
"Editor-in-chief, I want to take a day off..." Liu Mei called the editor-in-chief with a slightly crying tone.
"Okay, remember to come back early." The editor seemed to know what she wanted to do and agreed directly.
"Zhen is also here at the newspaper office, so don't worry and go!"
"Well! Thank you editor-in-chief!"
On the other side, Tian Maolei was still waiting for the bus. While waiting, he took out a small vocabulary book and recited it carefully under the street light. When the bus came, he put away the vocabulary book and got on the bus. The bus was too dark, so he stopped reading. , turning his gaze to the cityscape passing by in front of him.
Although it is still early, many buildings have already turned on their lights, presumably because children have to go to school.
While the bus was stopping, he saw a middle-aged man pushing an old-fashioned bicycle out of the community. Behind the bicycle sat a child carrying a schoolbag, who must have been his child.
Seeing the child hugging his father's back tightly, tears filled his eyes without knowing when, and the tears fell quietly...
"He's still injured, so he shouldn't be able to walk far..." Rumi hurriedly packed her things, repackaged the letter, carefully placed it in the compartment of her bag, and then went out to look for Hiruchuan nearby.
After searching around the area and finding nothing, she thought for a while and ran to the place where she saw him yesterday. Sure enough, halfway, she saw the staggering figure of Zhichuan.
"Senior Hiruchuan!" She waved and called him as she rushed over, but Hiruchuan ignored her and instead turned around and walked into a small alley.
"Hirakawa-senpai! Wait for me!" Rumi hurriedly followed.
"Hirakawa?" Shota, a reporter from Ultraman Club who had previously mocked Rumi, happened to be passing by. He was looking at the newspaper he was writing proudly. Hearing Rumi shout this, he rolled his eyes, and he didn't know what idea he had in his head. , threw the newspaper into the trash can and followed quietly with excitement on his face.
"Senior Hiruchuan! Wait a minute!" Rumi quickly chased after Hiruchuan, following Hiruchuan around and around in the alley. Unexpectedly, he turned a corner and disappeared again.
"Where are the people?" Rumi looked confused: "He was obviously still here just now..."
"What do you want from me?" Hiruchuan's voice came from behind. Rumi turned around and saw Hiruchuan looking at her coldly.
"Senior Hiruchuan, what kind of attitude do you have!" Rumi muttered, with a look of dissatisfaction on her face. She snorted and turned away: "At least I saved you yesterday..."
"Hmph..." Zhichuan knew that he was in the wrong, but he didn't want to say anything more. He just said "thank you" and turned to leave.
"Huh? Wait!" Seeing Hiruchuan about to leave, Rumi blurted out inadvertently: "Wait a minute, Ultraman Nexus!"
Her words shocked both of them at the same time. Not only Hirukawa was stunned, Shota who was quietly hiding aside was also dumbfounded by these words.
"Is it true..." Seeing Hiruchuan turn around, Rumei knew that she had guessed correctly, and couldn't help but smile proudly: "Can you listen to what I have to say now?"
The two found a small park and sat down on a relatively remote, deserted bench.
"Here, senior, haven't you had breakfast yet?" Rumi enthusiastically handed him the sandwich and milk she had prepared.
Seeing Zichuan staring at her warily, she forced the breakfast to him: "Don't look at me like that, I didn't poison you!"
"How did you know?" Zhichuan stared at her, seeming to have completely forgotten that she was his savior.
"You still want to kill people and silence them? That's not the case, senior?!"
"That depends on whether you say it or not."
"Hehe..." Rumi smiled playfully: "Senior, I'll tell you if you have breakfast first!"
"Hmph..." Zhichuan frowned, but still did as he was told and took one bite... delicious! Really delicious! It tastes just like... the buckwheat pancakes made by my mother when I was a child and always envied and longed for the delicious food in the city...
Seeing Hiruchuan wolfing down the sandwich, she hurriedly helped him unscrew the milk and handed it to him: "Senior, slow down, don't choke!"
Zhichuan reached out and took the milk, and after a few "gurgles", he swallowed a whole bottle of fresh and sweet milk, filling his stomach that had been growling.
"Tell me." Hiruchuan looked at Rumei, but his eyes had become much softer.
"Haha," Rumi scratched her head in embarrassment and blinked her eyes: "I guessed it myself!"
"ha?"
Seeing that Zichuan was stunned, she hurriedly waved her hand and explained: "That's not entirely true! I saw that it was so late yesterday, senior, that you were still lingering in the place where the alien beast just appeared, and you were injured again... and... "
Rumi looked at the small part of the silver dagger exposed in the inner pocket of Hirukawa's jacket.
Following her gaze, Zhichuan also understood and said softly: "You are a reporter, right? This kind of thing should be enough for you to make headlines last time, right?"
"Huh?" Seeing that Hiruchuan misunderstood her meaning, Rumi shook her head hastily: "No, no, no, I have no intention of exposing the identity of my senior..."
"Then what do you want to do?"
"I came here to give this to senior..." Rumi carefully took out the yellowed letter from the compartment of the satchel and handed it to Hiruchuan: "I dropped it on the ground yesterday. I only saw it this morning..."
"Uh..." Zhichuan felt mixed emotions when he saw the letter.
Reaching out to take the letter, he lowered his head: "Have you read it?"
"Ah, I'm sorry! I didn't mean it!" Rumi apologized hastily.
"It's okay... just watch it..."
Seeing Hirukawa's head downcast, Rumi thought for a moment, clenched his fists to cheer himself up, and asked him, "Why don't you go find your aunt, senior?"
"..." Zhichuan did not answer. After a moment of silence, he slowly said:
"It's too late..."
"It means it's too late..." Rumi understood what he meant, looked at Hiruchuan's slightly trembling body, put her hand on his back, and patted him gently: "Senior, my condolences..."
"I...I'm fine..." Hirukawa kept sobbing, which made Rumi feel very distressed. She stretched out her arms and hugged him, hoping to give him some comfort...
After a long time, Hirukawa calmed down, took the tissue handed over by Rumi, and wiped the tears on his face a little.
"I left my parents very early..." Zhichuan slowly spoke, telling her about his past:
"I originally thought I could make a career, and I thought about digging up dirt every day to make headlines. In the end, I just became a street rat that everyone yelled at... and then..." He looked at the person who was listening obediently to what he had to say. Rumi asked: "Do you know Dark Mephistopheles?"
"Yeah, I know. It's the dark giant who fought Ultraman Nexus before. I've reported on it before."
"that's me."
"Huh?" Hearing what Hiruchuan said, Rumi was surprised: "How could that be?"
"You may have some misunderstandings. Ultraman Nexus has not always been a person."
"Huh?!" Rumi was even more confused after hearing what Hiruchuan said. This completely subverted her cognition.
"What a big news, hahaha!" Shouta, who was hiding secretly on the side, secretly rejoiced, holding up his mobile phone to record the sound, having already thought of the news title in his head.
