Ultra: Heroes Don't Ask Where They Come From

Lina didn't know why Dagu ran away, but Dagu was not the kind of person who was frivolous and ignored work. She looked for him for a while, but not only did she not find him, but she almost bumped into an old woman who was in a hurry and pushing a colorful candy cart.

"Oh, sorry, sorry." Lina apologized quickly.

What happened to her today? She didn’t even notice that she almost bumped into someone. She should have noticed it in advance!

The old woman was dressed up as a witch with a scary mask on her face. She glared at Lina without any hesitation.

The cart was filled with those large, colorful round lollipops, and then she pushed the cart away as if she was full of resentment, looking sneaky and muttering to herself;

"Damn you adults, adults don't have dreams, what's going on tonight, Halloween is a night for fake monsters, good kids to act! It's not a real monster, it's a night for the witch to be scared and not dare to eat dreams!! "

"Ha...haha..." Lina laughed awkwardly twice at the words that were very consistent with the old woman's appearance. However, the old woman met a small group of children coming towards her. They were running on the street like a school of fish in the sea.

Although I couldn't see because of the mask, I could tell that the witch woman immediately smiled, bent over and waved, and whispered stealthily and kindly;

"Children, come here, there are delicious candies."

"Trick or treat!"

"Wow, that's a big candy."

Lina's face froze.

"Bad, is the difference in treatment so great..."

.........

The street came to a winding bend. The man in front turned left and right. He was obviously walking, but with Dagu's running speed, he couldn't catch up with him, which made Dagu more and more frightened.

Although I still have some doubts about whether the man is a normal person, I am much more certain than before.

As the speed was getting faster and faster, he no longer cared about hiding and he gathered all his strength to run. However, when he passed a corner, a hand came over and grabbed Dagu by the collar.

Dagu was pulled unexpectedly and lost his balance, but when he came to his senses, he tried to grab the other person with his backhand, but found that the other person did not move at all.

It’s so hard. Even if he weighs 50 pounds more than me, this shouldn’t be the case, right?

This is Dagu's idea.

Grasping Da Gu's hand, there was no further intention, his master's face was obscured by darkness, but as his face approached, his appearance was revealed.

Xia Long looked at Da Gu; "You shouldn't have followed me. You are still too fragile in your human form. It's too early for you to fight like this."

"who are you?"

Dagu was shocked. Although it hadn't been said explicitly yet and the term "human body" was a little unfamiliar to him, he had already realized that the other party probably knew about his uniqueness.

But the next second he realized that this was the "man in black" whom he had met before.

"I'm Xia Long, a human from another world." Xia Long said calmly, "I'm here to track down a group of aliens. They are extremely vicious and have become more aggressive recently. You can get hurt easily."

Xia Long let go of his hand, and Da Gu immediately stepped back, but because Xia Long did not attack him, Da Gu did not move away, but just covered his neck and asked Xia Long;

"...Humans from another world...?"

"A parallel world, for example, a world where humans and aliens live happily together, or a world where they haven't encountered aliens at all. It's up to you."

Dagu; "......"

Does he really want others to believe him when he says this?

Although there was no way to confirm the truthfulness of what the other party said, Dagu's ability to accept things has become much stronger recently, and there was no harm in going along with what the other party said, so he continued talking.

"I'm a member of the Victory Team, a security organization in this world. My job is to prevent humans from being invaded by such disasters. I came here to investigate the abnormal reaction of the magnetic field. Did you know?"

Dagu said cautiously.

In fact, he had many more questions to ask the other party, because from the other party's repeated performances, it was obvious that he knew a thing or two about this world.

Like the pyramids, the ancient times, the giant of light and the reason why he had to turn into light.

It seems that the other party knows these things, or at least knows more than humans do today.

Xia Long waved his hand casually, and Dagu felt the temperature around him dropped a little. He saw the man in a pointed hat in front of him and said.

"That was the work of an alien. His purpose was probably to obtain the dreams of children. However, after my target and I arrived here, he suddenly hid himself and I couldn't find him for a while."

Dagu was silent, feeling that there were many things he didn't understand.

“Getting kids’ dreams, what does that mean?”

"There are stories like this in our cultural traditions. In the dead of night, demons and ghosts come to the sleeping people and absorb their dreams - monsters that devour people's thoughts and emotional fluctuations."

"What will happen to the children whose dreams are absorbed!"

"An empty shell. Once you take away what's inside, all that's left is an empty shell."

It was not the first time that Xia Long met Dagu, but it was the first time that he had a face-to-face conversation with Dagu. He knew that the Kirieloids would probably not take action easily before finding him, so he explained patiently.

Dagu's face turned serious.

"How come...what about you guys? What's your relationship with the aliens you're looking for?"

"The aliens I'm tracking are a cult organization, just like Aum Shinrikyo. They release poison gas and create panic. Their ultimate goal is to build a utopia with only their believers. For this reason, people outside the utopia are of course sinners. However, unlike ordinary cults, their leader is not a prophet, but an alien plasma life that calls itself a tribe—"

Both sides are very dangerous! Da Gu felt a little confused.

"But, since you are from another world, then are these aliens also from another world? Were you responsible for the...Angel Welcoming Party a few days ago, and also when the Kirieloids showed up last time?"

Da Gu had unknowingly entered the other party's logic and began to really believe it.

However, Xia Long’s logic was certainly correct, so Dagu did not suffer any loss by believing it.

Xia Long could continue to explain when Dagu solved one problem and asked more questions, but he suddenly thought of something, so he said;

"I came here by accident, but when I was tracking those aliens, I couldn't track the guy who absorbed dreams. Since you are the security organization here and have extraordinary power, how about you go and chase that alien?"

Dagu quickly took out a small tool like a folding makeup mirror from the lining of his clothes, opened it and took a look. Green spots of light were faintly flashing on the display screen, and red spots of light appeared sparsely.

"The magnetic field hasn't changed... Hey, there's a place around here where the magnetic field is reacting more strongly."

"We'll meet again, Daigu. I'll leave this matter to you."

"what?"

Dagu looked up and could no longer see Xia Long, and his voice last appeared in his ears.

"You are both light and human, unlike me. Do your best."

Because Xia Long was gone, Dagu was the only one left around. Dagu put his hand on the holster, but he couldn't figure out how Xia Long disappeared. He could only think that it was a special way of action as if he was swallowed by the air.

Dagu carefully looked around and slowly walked out of this sparsely populated street.

Why does she look so much like Youlian...
