The sky in Tokyo is gray, with dark clouds floating in the sky. Not a trace of light can penetrate the clouds. Everyone on the street is walking in a hurry, with a vague uneasiness and fear on their faces. There are no people on the street. A hint of laughter.
A corner of a coffee shop in Tokyo.
While Hikali and the Yamanaka team members were there fighting each other, Castor took the time to visit two special people.
"Thank you for your willingness to come to the distant earth and fight side by side with us."
"We will always remember the friendship between humans and Ultraman!"
A very eye-catching scene appeared in a coffee shop. Two middle-aged men bowed sincerely to a man who looked very young.
Although it was strange, no one looked here, as if there was nothing there.
Seeing the sincere and heartfelt words on the other side, Castor stood up, bowed down to the two middle-aged men in front of him very solemnly and returned the greeting, and then said very sincerely, "Captain Kato, Captain Ibuki, Jack asked me to express my feelings to you. Thanks and miss you, of course, what you should be more willing to hear is his other name - Xiang."
As the name Xiang appeared, the two middle-aged men opposite him showed expressions of relief and nostalgia.
The first thing Castor did when he came to Earth was not to meet Beidou and Yamanaka, but to visit the two captains of the Earth Defense Force MAT team from the previous period, Captain Kato and Captain Ibuki.
Before entering the earth, Castor was a little worried about whether he could see them. After all, Captain Kato was transferred to the Space Station as the station commander in the middle of Jack's career. Captain Ibuki, as the captain who was transferred midway, logically should After completing such an important job as MAT captain, he should be destined to be promoted high.
But what surprised him was that when he arrived on Earth and started to search for these two people with his telekinesis, he discovered that both Captain Kato and Captain Ibuki were idle at home at the moment, and they lived in the most powerful place of the Earth Defense Force. of Tokyo.
Neither Captain Kato nor Captain Ibuki is wearing a work uniform at this moment, but a formal suit. However, Captain Kato is wearing a turquoise Japanese-style kimono, while Captain Ibuki is wearing a crisp black suit.
"That guy from Xiang, just remember to come back and see us sometime." Ibuki sighed with emotion, and suddenly he seemed to have thought of something, "Forget it, the earth is a sad place for him, so it's better not to come back yet."
"It doesn't matter whether he comes back or not, as long as that guy from Xiang lives a good life." Kato nodded, and suddenly, he seemed to notice something.
"You seem to be a little strange about our current situation?" Captain Kato, who was wearing a Japanese kimono, looked at Castor's doubtful eyes, just like he did when he treated Xiang, and explained with a gentle smile, "Don't worry, human That’s it, we will also review and restrict ourselves, we have expected this kind of thing.”
Ibuki, who was wearing a black suit, was a little serious and angry, "Kato, you guy, don't show the bad side of human beings to Ultraman."
"Tsk, don't you see this kind of thing too often?" Captain Kato looked at Captain Ibuki with some indifference, "To talk about the bad side of human beings, when that guy Kiriyama Kaoru led the Ultra Guard, human beings had long been facing The universe showed it.”
"The barbaric exploration of the universe by humans during that period simply showed their most violent side."
Although they are both captains from hometown, the personalities of Kato and Ibuki are quite different. Just like the different styles of clothes they chose when facing Castor, Captain Kato is a gentle dove, while Captain Ibuki is a bit tough. of hawks.
"It's your thoughts that lead to the fact that you could have stayed on the space station as the stationmaster without being censored, but now you have to stay on earth and accept such a boring life like me." Ibuki was a little helpless, although he was still older than me. He is older, but in terms of the MAT team, Kato is actually his senior, so he can only complain.
If you really think about it, when he took over the MAT team, Kato had integrated this immature team into a brave, united, and unyielding team. On the contrary, as the captain who parachuted in midway, he owed Kato humane,
"By the way, I haven't asked for your name yet," Ibuki asked cautiously as he looked at the face opposite him who looked a little younger than Go.
"Castor, this body is me." Castor explained.
"Casto... As you can see, Kato and I are currently under investigation for things that happened during the MAT." Ibuki said helplessly, "Not only us, but the entire MAT, except for the villagers who have been recorded as killed in battle, others Everyone is under investigation, and that’s why that guy Kato couldn’t hold his anger and came back from the space station alone to start a quarrel with the superiors, which has led to him being dismissed from his post and under probation.”
"Asshole, they are the ones with the problem!" Kato slapped the table. "As captain, of course it doesn't matter if we are under review, but what do those young team members know? Why should they waste several years!"
"This is a common practice. It has been like this since Captain Matsumura of the SSSP of the Kurt Team." Ibuki looked at Castor helplessly, as if to comfort Kato, but more like explaining to Castor, "The above is for us. There is a limit to the trust these teams can have.
As those of us who have mastered the most cutting-edge technology and weapons of mankind and experienced the most confidential events of mankind, the review after leaving the front line will continue for several years. On the one hand, this is to prevent some of us from leaking secrets, and on the other hand, it is also to prevent the universe from People exert control over us, causing some bad consequences. "
"In fact, Muramatsu and the others only showed up to work on the front line not long ago, and they can't return to the front line fighting team again."
Castor nodded, then suddenly reacted and asked in surprise, "Wait! Do you know Captain Muramatsu and Captain Kiriyama?!"
Shock! There is actually a connection between the various teams of Ultraman!
Ibuki's words surprised Castor. After all, judging from the performance on TV, excluding the incompetent captain of the Morohei Team, the entire Showa-type Earth Defense Force, although nominally a world view, except for Mebius Periods, other periods have never shown a connection between them.
Castor originally just wanted to express his gratitude to mankind on behalf of Jack, the hometown man. After all, it was from the MAT period, to be precise from the time of the Baxters, that the relationship between the Kingdom of Light and the Earth entered a new stage. A brand new chapter, at least from the perspective of the Kingdom of Light, the relationship between humans and the Earth has changed from Ultraman protecting the Earth to a potential alliance between humans and Ultraman because of the Earthlings' fight against the Baxters. .
But now, he suddenly had some interest.
"Your question?" Kato looked at Castor with some confusion, "Is it strange that we know Muramatsu and Kiriyama?"
"Yes, according to the regulations, we are not allowed to contact each other privately, but everyone turns a blind eye to this kind of thing." Ibuki was also a little surprised, "Especially us captains, when we are idle, After that, we must exchange and sort out relevant experiences with each other. These things are precious wealth and information for mankind. Facing the environment that may become increasingly dangerous in the future, we must always leave something behind for the younger generations. ."
"It's a very strange question. Doesn't Jack know Severn and Ultraman?" Kato looked at Casto curiously, "That shouldn't be the case. I remember that the space station has relevant observation records."
Castor nodded first, then shook his head, "They are different. They are brothers who grew up together. When I first met them, they were already classmates who went to school together."
"Go to school?!"
"Ultraman wants to go to school?!"
Shock! That giant, heroic Ultraman who protected the Earth is actually going to school? !
How to go to school? Does Ultraman need to carry a schoolbag?
If Kato and Ibuki were surprised by Castor's confusion in the last second, then Castor was surprised by Kato and Ibuki's shock in this second.
"Is it weird?" Casto had a strange smile on his face, "Don't humans need to study? No, I remember that there are such things as schools and books on earth?"
Ibuki and Kato opened their mouths, and they woke up after a while.
The two people looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.
The meaning behind the fact that Ultraman is going to school is not as simple as Ultraman going to school.
As people who have seen and dealt with many people from space, as people who have seen many materials left by previous generations of teams in the database, and as people who can lead the Earth Defense Force team, the two captains thought about it. Based on this intelligence, Zi deduced a large amount of information.
First of all, behind the fact that Ultraman wants to go to school, it is not just that Ultraman's world has a school, but it means that Ultraman's world has a complete social system.
Although I don’t know what the social system of Ultraman’s world is like, since there are schools, it means that corresponding police agencies and other institutions may also exist. Even, as someone who has seen many battles, as someone who has seen Jack with his own eyes For those who were defeated, Kato and Ibuki thought of the hospital and cemetery.
Ultraman has to study, Ultraman will be injured, Ultraman may die in battle
Ultraman is also a living being.
"That's right. Since it is an independent life, how can it be able to grow without learning?"
"Suddenly, I feel like humanity owes Ultraman a lot." Ibuki scratched his head in embarrassment, "That's a lot more."
Castor understood the shock of Captain Kato and Captain Ibuki at this moment, but he actually didn't care much about it. At this moment, he was actually more curious about the connections between the various teams after they were disbanded, and the connections between the various captains.
After all, judging from the performance of Ibuki and Kato, they have obviously discovered that Go is Jack's long ago, and if nothing else happens, SSSP - Captain Muramatsu of the Kurt Team and UG - Captain Kiriyama of the Ultra Guard Team, He must have guessed and confirmed that Hayata is Ultraman and the Star Cluster belongs to Severn.
He wanted to know how these captains discussed the Ultraman who had worked under them.
You know, Ultraman has actually had a subconscious influence on human beings. For example, the names of various Ultramans. Humans can call Ultraman's name correctly. Naturally, it is not because Ultraman changed the name when he transformed. He shouted his name out, but told the human beings his name through telekinesis.
As for Ultraman's human beings, especially those who were originally just ordinary people, the reason why they can join the Earth Defense Force so easily is actually due to the influence of telekinesis. You must know that these teams control the most powerful forces of mankind. It stands to reason that there should be the strictest censorship system for cutting-edge weapons and equipment, but every human form of Ultraman can easily join the team. This naturally has the bonus of their heroic strength, but there is a subconscious hidden in it. Interference must also play a role.
Although Castor knew that others could not detect such a thing, he also knew that the two captains in front of him must have felt something to some extent.
But Kato and Ibuki are completely opposite to Castor. They don't want to say anything about human affairs. It's not that they are unwilling, but that this thing is really meaningless to them, and it is also full of all kinds of dark things. .
Compared with the human things that Castor was curious about, they wanted to know more about what Castor said about the Ultraman world. After all, such frank and honest conversations were rare, even for them who had once served as captains. , had no such experience, and they were also sure that Matsumura and Kiriyama of the Kurt team had no such experience either.
Things about the Kingdom of Light are very important to mankind. Even if they cannot be disclosed now, even a little bit, even a little bit of knowledge about the universe and the Kingdom of Light can be obtained from Castor's mouth, which can make mankind better. planning for future development.
Just when both parties were still thinking about how to speak, a huge crack appeared in the sky, and Bei Laoken appeared.
Just when Castor was about to say something, Ibuki ran out without looking back. Kato showed an apologetic expression to Castor, "I'm sorry, although it's a pity, but the situation is critical now. If you are still here later, Earth, we will definitely treat you well.”
After saying that, Kato also hurriedly ran away from the cafe.
Castor silently took out the Evolution Truster and walked to the street. A plane in the sky suddenly exploded, and then the light flashed.
Ace appeared in front of Belokern.
Wait, where's Hikari?
