Ultraman Fighting Evolution

In Shinjuku District, Ichijo led security personnel to track No. 26, and Xia Long also followed from the outside to watch.

After studying the powdery substance sprayed by No. 26, Officer Enoda of the Police Research Institute analyzed that No. 26 was an unconfirmed life form of mushroom species, and the highly toxic spores released could only survive between 35 and 40 degrees. Ichijo therefore judged that the crime scene of No. 26 was a place with air conditioner outdoor units in Shinjuku District.

Under the instructions of Ichijo, teams of police wearing gas masks spread out and poured into the gaps between high-rise buildings. Xia Long took out a towel to wrap his face after seeing it, and also planned to follow, but was grabbed by Ichijo when entering the alley.

"Real Xia Long!" Ichijo shook his head and said, "Leave No. 26 to us!"

"Officer Ichijo..."

"I can't let you get into trouble too! Now the life and death of the fifth generation is uncertain, and you are the only one left!"

Ichijo looked at Xia Long sternly, put on a gas mask and hurried into the alley.

Xia Long stood silently at the entrance, quietly looking at the narrow gap between the buildings.

The gap is very small. Not only is there danger from No. 26 in the dark, but now a large number of police officers with rifles are chasing No. 26, which is also a big trouble for him. He doesn't know if someone will shoot him in a panic. He really can't rush in.

But...

After waiting outside for a while, several gunshots suddenly broke the silence. Xia Long followed the echoing gunshots and wanted to block an alley exit in advance, but a large amount of pollen-like gas suddenly gushed out of the gap.

"Spores?"

Xia Long held his breath and only had time to see a vague shadow escaping while he was trying to avoid it.

"Real Xia Long?" Ichijo chased out of the alley and saw Xia Long, who was also affected by a large number of spores. His face changed, "How are you?"

"I'm fine," Xia Long and Ichijo left the robe-covered area together, took a breath and said, "Is that No. 26?"

"It still escaped," Ichijo looked at the direction where No. 26 escaped with regret, turned back and blamed Xia Long, "Didn't I tell you not to intervene? Doctor Tsubaki has already told me that your body has not recovered yet, why are you so stubborn?"

"You also said that," Xia Long shook his head, "Now that the fifth generation is not here, I am the only one who can fight, how can I not care?"

Ichijo was silent for a while, returned to the police car and threw a gas mask to Xia Long.

"Unless it's absolutely necessary," Ichijo said solemnly as he watched Xia Long take the mask. "Please don't take action. Protect yourself first before you can protect others."

"I know," Xia Long said with a smile, "I'm Ultraman... I won't die here."

...

At night, although the police had mobilized all the police officers in the jurisdiction and the headquarters members to search, they still couldn't find the whereabouts of No. 26, and even had several blunders in the middle.

It was not until after eight o'clock in the evening that the research institute sent a message saying that No. 26 might be injured and spit out all the spores at once, so he would not appear again in a short time.

Ichijo returned to the police car with a tired face, but received a call from Chun Xiuyi.

"Ichijo," Chun Xiuyi said silently with bloodshot eyes at Kanto Medical University Hospital, "I concluded that he was dead at 7:44..."

Xia Long stood by the police car and saw that Ichijo didn't say anything after answering the call, but just held the phone silently, with a faint strange look on his face. He immediately thought of the news about the fifth generation.

"What's wrong?"

"Ma Xia Long," Ichijo closed his eyes painfully for a while, suppressed his grief, and then raised his head and said, "I have to go back to the headquarters. Can I trouble you for something?"

"Is it about Godai?" Xia Long asked.

Ichijo nodded in a low voice and said, "Yes, I want to ask you to inform Godai's sister. Godai..."

"Godai will be fine," Xia Long interrupted, "I have this feeling, he will definitely wake up again, because he is Kuuga."

Seeing that Ichijo still had something to say, Xia Long continued, "You go back to the headquarters first, I will look around, maybe I can find No. 26."

As the night deepened, the entire Shinjuku district was under martial law, and there were patrolling police cars everywhere. Xia Long encountered several interrogations just walking on the street.

"In this case, is No. 26 really still in Shinjuku?"

After the turning point, Xia Long drove the newspaper's news car to the side of the road, and Zhu Xingtuan, who followed him in the passenger seat, yawned several times.

"Along, it's been so long, and there's still no news. What are those police doing?"

After waiting for a while, Zhu Xingtuan couldn't hold on any longer and shook his head, saying, "I can't do it anymore. It seems that guy is really gone. I think we should go back..."

Zhu Xingtuan yawned again, but found that Xia Long didn't move in his sleepiness.

"Along?"

Xia Long ignored Zhu Xingtuan and looked closely at the night in the distance.

Accompanied by vague screams of pain, he seemed to see a large number of pedestrians grabbing their necks and falling to the ground and dying...

"What's wrong with you?" Zhu Xingtuan looked in the direction of Xia Long's sight strangely, "Did you find anything?"

"Editor-in-chief," Xia Long came back to his senses and said hurriedly, "Can you get off here? I want to go somewhere to take a look! Please!"

"Ah?"

Zhu Xingtuan got off the car in a daze, and didn't react until Xia Long drove the news car away. He shouted anxiously, "Hey! What should I do?"

Xia Long ignored Zhu Xingtuan's shouting behind him and drove into the highway following the induction.

He had never had any obvious feeling towards Gurongi, but somehow this time, he seemed to sense the murder scene from a long distance.

No. 26 was no longer in Shinjuku District...

In Banqiao District, Xia Long parked the news car on the side of the road and contacted Yitiao.

"Are you sure No. 26 has arrived in Banqiao District?" Yitiao asked closely.

"I'm not sure, but I just have this feeling," Xia Long got out of the car and looked around, "I feel like it killed people here."

As Xia Long said this, he suddenly saw a place that was the same as the one in the illusion. Under the cold street lights, just as he sensed, many people fell to the ground in pain.

"This is..."

"Manaka Ryu!" Ichijo felt something was wrong and hurriedly said, "Don't mess around, I'll be there soon!"

Metropolitan Police Department Special Contract Investigation Headquarters, members have been busy all night for the matter of No. 26. Sugita heard that Ichijo was going to Banqiao City and was surprised: "No. 26 is in Banqiao City? Where did you get the news?"

"My friend in the newspaper," Ichijo hurriedly finished the call, "He saw the person killed by No. 26 there."

"What?" The investigation headquarters suddenly became nervous and quickly took action.

"Hurry up!"

Ichijo didn't wait for his colleagues, and drove the police car away from the headquarters in a hurry: "Manaka Ryu, you must not be in trouble!"

In a square in Banqiao District, Ryu walked through the corpses on the ground.

The temperature in this place is not high, but it is a bit cold. No. 26 seems to have changed. Not only is it no longer limited to temperature, but the spore toxicity seems to have increased significantly. These victims were poisoned to death at the same time before they could react.

Wearing a gas mask, Xia Long continued to search according to the images he sensed. Soon, a murder scene appeared in his mind again.

"Here we go again!"

Xia Long glanced around, quickly locked the direction and ran quickly.

Passing by a secluded path, he saw a pair of lovers in pain falling under a street lamp from a distance. When Xia Long arrived, they had already lost their breath, but No. 26, who killed them, did not go far. Instead, he walked slowly towards Xia Long with a smile on his face.

With long white hair and a red hat, he was obviously a man, but dressed like a woman.

"Are you looking for me?" No. 26 walked step by step in high heels, and when he passed the street lamp, he turned into a mushroom-type Gurongi.

"Bang!" Before Xia Long could move, a gunshot suddenly rang out in the night. The mushroom-headed monster stopped and looked down at the place where he was hit by the bullet. The poison gas in the bullet developed by the research institute was still emitting, but the mushroom-headed monster was not affected at all.

"This kind of thing is useless to me!" No. 26 looked at Ichijo Kaoru, who was shooting from a distance across the road behind Xia Long, with sarcasm, and let Ichijo Kaoru shoot.

"Bang bang!"

Xia Long saw that the gas bomb had no effect at all, looked back at Ichijo behind him, took a deep breath, and was about to rush to No. 26, but suddenly a hot current emerged from his waist, and his whole body became agitated.

"What?"

Xia Long paused and looked down at his waist unexpectedly. At this time, No. 26 on the opposite side suddenly sprayed out a large amount of pink robes, covering Xia Long completely.

Xia Long hurriedly held his breath, but found that there was a layer of gas membrane around him that blocked all the robes. At the same time, the heat flow in his waist became stronger and stronger, and his body, which was originally very weak due to serious injuries, was suddenly full of strength again.

"What is this?"

Accompanied by a burning pain, a strange belt condensed on Xia Long's waist. The appearance of the evolution device could be vaguely seen, but the middle had similar characteristics to the Kuuga belt, and a Kuuga mark floated in the core position.

"Real Xia Long!" Ichijo watched Xia Long fall into the spore poisonous fog, and his heart was lifted. When he was about to shoot at No. 26, he saw that the poisonous fog seemed to be pulled and spun rapidly. After a while, it all dissipated, revealing a white figure.

"Godai?" Ichijo stopped shooting and looked at the white figure under the street lamp in front of him in astonishment. At first glance, it looked like Kuuga, but it seemed to have more golden armor.

"What's going on?"

"Huh!" As the poisonous fog on the robe dissipated, Xia Long clenched his fingers into a fist and began to clearly sense all the movements around him, the sound of the wind, and the breathing of No. 26.

Locking his sight on No. 26, Xia Long took a few steps back, bent his knees slightly, and suddenly jumped up. Before Ichijo could think about it, he kicked No. 26 away with a flying kick.

"Bang--!"

In the gradually brightening morning light, No. 26 only had time to scream before exploding with a double-wing mark.

"Kuga?" Xia Long landed steadily on the ground, pinched his fingers with a strange look, and recalled the time when he was injured and fell asleep. It seemed that he was not dreaming. The rejection from the world of evolution had completely disappeared, as if a layer of shackles had been removed, and he had perfectly adapted to the surrounding environment without any barriers.

Xia Long released his transformation and silently looked at the double-wing mark on the back of his hand.

Unlike the fifth generation, there was no stone in his body, and it seemed that he relied entirely on the power of the mark to maintain his transformation.

"It feels weird..."

"Real Xia Long!" After the battle, Ichijo Kaoru ran towards Xia Long with joy and confusion, waving and shouting.

"What's going on? How did you become like the fifth generation?"

Xia Long came back to his senses, shook his head and smiled, took off the gas mask and threw it to Ichijo, saying: "I don't know much, but as long as I can destroy those guys, it doesn't matter what I become."

“Ah?”
