Ultraman Blaze
Chapter 154: Monster Painter (1)
At night, a strange meteor landed silently in Sukagawa City, Fukushima Prefecture, Japan...
The next day.
Bei Miao flew over Sukagawa City in the A-plane. The bright sunshine shone on this peaceful land, and the radar did not detect any abnormality in this place. He reported to the base: "This is Victory Swallow A-plane. Headquarters, please answer."
"This is the headquarters."
Bei Miao replied: "No abnormalities were found in the Sukagawa area."
"Okay, let's go back to base."
"receive."
drop--
After shutting down the communication, Tut, who had nothing to do, turned around in his office chair, then stood up and said, "Could it be that the monitoring system became abnormal because of the last terminal intrusion?"
It turned out that in the early hours of last night, the system suddenly detected an abnormally strong magnetic field reaction in Sukagawa City, Fukushima Prefecture, so a team was sent to check it out.
"Impossible." Sitting next to the communication station, Hina immediately denied Tut's guess. "Catherine, I and the maintenance team have rechecked the system. Everything is normal. There will be no problem."
"Yeah." Catherine nodded in response.
Afterwards, the three people's gazes involuntarily fell on Hanyu Xiangyu in the command room.
"team leader."
Hanyu Xiangyu had a thoughtful look on his face. After thinking deeply in his mind, he said to Tut, "Here, Tut. Go to Sukagawa City for an on-site investigation, and then report the information you get to me."
"Understood." Tutt nodded, then turned and ran out.
……
Tut drove the Victory Swallow β to Sukagawa City. The low-rise houses and crisscrossing green plants on the outskirts of Sukagawa City surrounded the high-rise buildings in the city center, and looked particularly beautiful in the afterglow of the setting sun.
Before and after that, Tut got off the plane. He walked around the city with the instrument for investigating the magnetic field, from the suburbs to the city, and then from the city to the suburbs, but after working all afternoon, he didn't gain anything worthwhile.
Just as he walked to an empty park square and looked at the half-sinking sun at the end of the flower garden in the distance, he followed the direction of the sunset and saw an elderly man painting in front of the flower garden in the sunset.
In the empty park square, the old man is not tall, and the silver hair and wrinkles on his face are symbols of his rich life experience. He is wearing a retro cotton coat and brown pants, and is concentrating on drawing something on the drawing board with a brush in his hand.
Tut, who was on a mission, was attracted by the old man's scene. He gradually approached the old man, his footsteps were so light that they made almost no sound, for fear that his big movements would affect his predecessor's painting.
Tut stopped at the edge of the square and watched the old man paint quietly.
After an unknown amount of time, the old man's painting seemed to be nearing completion. However, due to his position, Tut did not see the painting in front of the old man clearly. Despite this, he watched it very carefully.
"Young man, do you like painting too?"
At this moment, the old man suddenly spoke. Although he was painting with his back to Tut, he was very aware of the latter's arrival.
The old man's voice was very gentle: "It's rare to find young people who like this kind of thing nowadays."
Tut was slightly startled, and after realizing that the old man might have seen him a long time ago, he slowly stepped forward and responded to the old man: "I drew it when I was a child, but I didn't draw it later."
"Old man, are you painting the sunset here?"
The old man shook his head, then smiled and said, "I'm drawing Gorbaggs."
"Gorbags?" The abrupt name instantly made Tut think. He frowned and took another step forward to the painting, but he saw a huge monster with a colorful body standing under a flower bed in the sunset.
The monster in the painting has a colorful body, a triangular head with horn-like organs on the top of its head, a curled tail, and bulging eyes, as if it is staring at them at this moment.
"Ok?"
Perhaps it was because of the old man's superb painting skills, the moment Tut saw the monster in the painting, he felt his scalp tingling. He suddenly looked up at the flower garden under the setting sun, but found nothing.
Seeing Tut's reaction, the old man laughed and told him that it was just a painting and not to be so nervous.
"Old man, why are you drawing monsters here?" Tut was puzzled.
The old man smiled and pointed to the direction of the setting sun in the distance and said, "Golbags is right there."
After saying that, the old man started shouting into the air of the flower garden, saying something strange like "Gorbags, I'll come again tomorrow."
However, the old man's loud shouting into the air attracted the attention of a patrolman who happened to be in charge of the surrounding security.
"Old man, it's you again!"
The patrolman's tone was not nice, but it could be heard that this was not the first time he had dealt with the old man in front of him.
"I've been told that this place will be demolished in a few days, why are you still staying here?"
When the patrolman was about to forcefully drive the old man away, Tutt stood up and revealed his identity.
This time, the old man was not ruthlessly driven away. He packed up his painting tools in an orderly manner before leaving slowly.
Tutt tried to drive the old man back home, but was refused.
In the afterglow of the setting sun, Tut was overwhelmed with emotion as he watched the old man walking away alone on the empty road. He then drove away.
Little did they know that after they had walked away, in the afterglow of the setting sun, a huge, translucent silhouette appeared above the flowerbed, moving slowly...
Tut went to the local police station and asked the relevant personnel about the old man's situation. Tut learned some ideas from the local police who knew the situation.
"What happened to that old man just now?"
The patrolman sighed helplessly, then replied: "You mean Mr. Shanming..."
"Mr. Shanming was a very famous painter when he was young. He often used some abstract paintings to satirize or criticize the bad society and groups at that time. But some people were dissatisfied with his behavior, Mr. Shanming was retaliated against, and his family was also implicated."
"The park he often stayed in used to be an amusement park. The current flower garden used to be a Ferris wheel... Mr. Shanming's wife and daughter were burned to death on that Ferris wheel."
"Because Mr. Shanming was afraid of heights, he escaped the fire. Although the arsonist was eventually caught, Mr. Shanming's personality changed drastically. He withdrew from the field of painting and faded out of everyone's sight."
After listening to the patrolman's words, Tutt was overwhelmed with emotions and began to sympathize with the old man he met in the afternoon.
Then Tut asked, "What about Golbags?"
"You mean Gorbags?" The policeman who answered seemed to know a lot. "That was a chameleon pet that Mr. Shanming had in the past. That chameleon also appeared in his previous works."
