I'm really just human

"Huh!"

The next day, Kumamoto Castle.

A cadre transport plane serving as the command center landed vertically on the lawn. Director Sawai arrived at the front line as the commander-in-chief and kept in touch with Iruma Kei who stayed at the base through a dedicated channel.

"According to the investigation of Daiko and others, the underground shark that appeared in Kumamoto this time is actually a mechanical monster made by a technology company."

Iruma Kei briefly narrated.

"The founder of that guy's technology company, Masaki Keigo, is currently missing, but our people have found hidden giant ruins underground in the company."

"Giant ruins?" Sawai murmured.

"Like the Tiga statue that was first discovered, it is probably a relic from the ancient times," Iruma nods. "The abnormal reaction of the sand in the secret box these days should be related to Masaki Keigo's actions, and..."

"And?"

"Dr. Tango, who is in charge of the statue research, has been confirmed to have defected. Before that, he secretly transmitted TPC's confidential information to Masaki Keigo."

"This Masaki Keigo is not simple."

Sawai briefly checked the information.

A world-renowned physicist who began to show his talent in high school and is now one of the main personnel in space development.

"Where is that technology company? I want to see the giant ruins that he specially built a company to hide."

"I'll let Lina pick you up."

Underground of Sediq Technology Company.

Hiroko Asami followed the TPC staff at the exploration site to the foot of the giant statue, still not recovered from the shock of seeing the statue.

In addition to the giant, there is also a monster statue next to it, but it does not give people an evil feeling. Standing side by side with the giant statue, it seems that you can see the glorious era of the ancient times.

"What kind of civilization is the ancient times?"

"It seems that there are still many giants at present," the captain of the exploration team sighed, "They seem to have found a way to make giant statues, and have the technology to combine humans with statues..."

Sensing Hiroko Asami's surprised look, the captain of the exploration team smiled bitterly and said: "These are all records in Masaki Keigo's laboratory. Before discovering this place, that guy seemed to have been obtaining stone statue sand information from Dr. Tango, and also did a lot of research on replicating giant statues. If you are interested, you can go and see it."

"Thank you."

Hiroko Asami's eyes returned to the towering giant statue.

She is indeed very interested.

If she can also become Ultraman, maybe...

This time the upgrade of the knight system is indeed critical. It can be said that it has paved the way for the knights to take the road of new evolution with the knight system.

But these are not what she pursues.

She is not pursuing simple strength.

"Captain Asami," Lina's voice came from her personal terminal, "Director Sawai will go to the site of the ruins for inspection. Do you think it's a good time now? I'm worried that Masaki Keigo will leave some tricks."

"The exploration team has searched carefully, and there should be no problem with the ruins."

Hiroko Asami gave a fairly positive answer.

"But if it's for the inspection, can you let the director wait a little longer? We don't know what Masaki Keigo's follow-up plan is yet, and he may counterattack."

"Okay, I'll explain to the director."

After the communication ended, Hiroko Asami continued to watch the giant stone statue.

If you want to take action, you have to hurry up.

Once the information here is taken away by TPC, it will definitely become absolutely confidential.

"Do you want to become Ultraman?"

Suddenly a voice sounded beside Hiroko Asami's ear.

"Don't look back. I'm talking to you in another place now. Just treat me as an ordinary person with superpowers... I can indeed hear the voices in people's hearts, but for people like you, it is limited to very superficial thinking. Someone has blocked the key part."

Hiroko Asami clenched her fingers, frowned, and almost transformed on the spot: "Who are you? What is your purpose?"

"Don't be nervous, I just want to help you."

The bespectacled man Kirino Maku stood on the top of Kumamoto Castle with his hands behind his back, still with the detached look when he witnessed the extinction of the Kirieloid people.

"Thanks to you, the future I see has light again. I think you will be the key to saving the world, so I want to accelerate your growth... Oh, I won't tell you my name for the time being."

"Save the world?"

"The future I saw was once dark. Originally, this world was destined to perish, but now there are new possibilities."

Kirino Maku stared at the sky in a trance.

"Let's go back to what happened just now. You want to be Ultraman, but have you ever thought that so many giants in ancient times still went to destruction.

"The ancient giant civilization has huge flaws from the beginning. Not everyone can become Tiga. The biggest possibility is to fall into darkness and lose control.

"It is not easy to control a powerful force far beyond your own level, at least you can't do it now."

Hiroko Asami frowned more and avoided the exploration team and walked out of the ruins: "So what do you mean by helping us?"

"I know a place that can help you upgrade quickly. If you are willing to believe me, we will meet again after returning to Tokyo."

Makino Kirino exhaled lightly and disconnected the telepathy.

He needs to gain the trust of the Knights to expose himself, otherwise he will be at great risk as he is just an ordinary person.

"That's it. Since I'm a human, I can't just watch the human world be destroyed by darkness. I hope you won't disappoint me, and I hope Lipia didn't misjudge you."

"Captain Asami?" The captain of the exploration team called out suspiciously to Hiroko Asami who suddenly behaved strangely.

"I'll go take a look at the lab above."

Asami Hiroko quickly left the underground space.

No matter what, it is still necessary to collect relevant information, even for reference.

Everything is possible in the future.

…

Outside Kumamoto.

Masaki Keigo watched the intensive actions of TPC through the surveillance camera.

He was exposed too quickly, and he couldn't go back at all, and all his plans had to start from scratch.

It's all because of that despicable guy Da Gu, who disguised himself so well that he even deceived him.

"That's right. We have the same super-ancient genes as me. How could that guy not be special at all?"

"Don't worry about that Dagu for now," the squinted young man was still angry about the armor. He took a deep breath to wake up Masaki Keigo, "Don't you still have backup data? We can help you complete follow-up research, but what you said Isn’t it time to tell us the secret that can capture monsters quickly?”

"What do you know?" Masaki Keigo sarcastically said, "Without the divine light rod and the optogenetic factor conversion device, what's the use of just copying stone statues? I thought you were so powerful, but then you feel disheartened when someone randomly pops up from the opposite side. Run away."

"We just don't want to add anything to the problem."

The squinting young man stopped the team members who wanted to get angry.

"As long as you fulfill our requirements, I promise that I will help you get the Divine Light Rod."

It's just a B-level Ultraman transformer, and there are plenty of opportunities to get it.
