Chapter 8 The Monster 'Seen'
The starlight in the sky makes the night look less monotonous. Under the bright moon, in the narrow strip between two mountains, a small river meanders through, with two banks on both sides. With a series of high and low houses and large tracts of farmland, it is a small town.
When the lanterns come on, every house in the town lights up. Several street lamps are erected on the village road. The halo of light projected illuminates the road for pedestrians at night.
But there was a narrow house, and the lights were not turned on. The room was dark inside. Suddenly, there was a burst of light, illuminating the room into daylight, and the outside reflected through the cracks in the door and windows was illuminated.
But the light came and went quickly. It disappeared in the blink of an eye, and there was another person in the room. As soon as he appeared, his legs went weak and he collapsed on the ground weakly, covered in sweat. His body fell heavily on the bed, soaking a large area of the bedding.
His slightly immature face was covered with sweat and exhaustion, but his right hand was still holding the divine light stick tightly. The difference from a few minutes ago was that there was no light in the center of the divine light stick at this moment, and it was emitting a light blue light. , forming a sharp contrast.
It’s just that none of this was known to Chiba Makoto, who fell asleep. He was really too tired. In the battle that lasted for more than two minutes, he used all his strength to attack with every punch, and his spirit was so tense. Tightly, not daring to slack off at all, all of this exhausted Chiba Cheng's physical strength and spirit, and he lost consciousness the moment he turned back to a human.
It was pitch black in the dream, and I couldn't see my fingers. Suddenly, a red light appeared diagonally below, and it became clearer and wider. I don't know if the flame was approaching me, or if I was flying towards the flame, and then... As the perspective narrowed, flaming skyscrapers gradually appeared in the field of vision.
The surface of these burning buildings is wrapped with countless vines with pale yellow flowers in full bloom. It looks like a situation after the end of the world, when humans have disappeared for many years and plants have reoccupied the city.
At this moment, the city was caught in a sea of fire. Looking around, there were flames everywhere, ‘Crackling! ’ The sound of explosions was endless, and from time to time, a building was burned down by the flames. Countless bricks and rubble were wrapped in flames and fell into the sea of fire.
Suddenly, a high-pitched roar came from the distance, echoing in the sky. The sound waves tore apart the darkness and the sea of fire, shattering them inch by inch, revealing a vast and boundless ocean hidden behind, with a small island floating in the middle, slowly moving. As the altitude increased, it turned out to be an island-shaped aircraft.
However, the island rose extremely slowly. When the view was closer, it was discovered that the island tilted to one side, and that side was grasped by a large number of octopus-like tentacles and crab-like giant claws. Both sides The struggle between them made them tense.
Looking in the direction of the octopus's tentacles, I saw a huge nautilus floating on the sea. The two huge spiral tubes on both sides of the inverted head were like gun barrels, constantly moving outward. Spewing out dark purple light bombs.
Light bombs bombarded the shell of the island one after another, bursting into raging flames and sending countless rocks flying. Each explosion made the island tremble violently, and finally seemed to lose power. It fell with a crash, hit the sea, and splashed violently. The entire island was submerged in the water.
"Evil God. Gatanjie!" Chiba Cheng couldn't help shouting this name that represented nightmare and destruction. In an instant, Gatanjie's head turned this way, as if he had discovered Chiba Cheng. , opened his mouth and sprayed a purple light towards him.
"Ah!" Chiba Cheng was frightened and exclaimed. He sat up all of a sudden. The moonlight outside passed through the window and brought a little light to the room. Only then did Chiba Cheng realize that he was in the room. Here, he did not face Gatanjie directly.
"Huh!" Chiba Cheng breathed a long sigh of relief, and his whole body relaxed. Only then did he realize that he was covered in sweat. He subconsciously wanted to raise his hand to wipe the sweat, but when his arm moved, it moved His sore muscles made him gasp.
The pain suddenly dispelled the sleepiness, and the brain completely woke up. Only then did I realize that my whole body was sore, especially the chest and shoulders that were hit hard by Golzan. They were obviously more painful than other places. Use I rubbed my hands gently for a while before feeling relieved. But the fatigue of the body cannot be solved by kneading it. I don't know how long I have been asleep. Anyway, my hungry stomach is growling, but my physical strength has only recovered a little, and I can't muster any strength at all.
Sitting on the mattress, feeling exhausted, I didn’t want to crawl over and turn on the light, so I struggled to pull the backpack over in the dark, weakly opened the zipper, and took out the original contents inside. If you want to enjoy it after climbing to the top of the mountain, just grab a rice ball and stuff it into your mouth.
It tasted like chewing wax, and his stomach was very hungry, but Qianye Cheng's mind was all on the divine light stick in his hand. He looked at the divine light stick carefully under the moonlight. The blue light emitted from the center was very weak. Before the battle with Golzan In comparison, it’s probably only one-third.
"Does this mean the progress of energy recovery?" Chiba Cheng gnawed on the rice ball and thought in his mind. He did not give an instruction manual. Everything could only rely on guessing, not to mention that it seemed that in the TV series, Dagu's god The light wand does not emit blue light, so why does my own divine light wand glow?
Even now, Chiba Cheng feels that the fact that he traveled through time and became Tiga is very unreal. Yesterday he was playing games in a rental house, and today he has become Ultraman. Life The ups and downs were a bit too fast.
At this moment, Qianye Cheng seemed to sense something. He suddenly raised his head and looked to the southeast. There was nothing in front of him, but he 'saw' Melba in the endless sky. He was flying rapidly over the sea, and in front of him was the bustling Tokyo.
"Melba?" Qianye Cheng then belatedly remembered that although Golzan was defeated by him, Melba was still alive, and then he realized something was wrong. Why could he 'see' Melba flying over the sea and 'know' where Melba landed?
Chiba Cheng is completely confused, what is this? Is it the ability to locate monsters that comes with becoming Ultraman? Otherwise, could it be something that comes with this body?
"I always feel that I have become weird." Chiba Cheng had a headache and tapped his head with the divine light stick. He was hesitating whether to turn into Tiga and fly over to take a look.
If his physical strength and energy are at full value, Chiba Makoto will have nothing to hesitate and fly over to take a look. He has not experienced what flying feels like yet, so he just takes this opportunity to try it out. .
But the problem is that his physical strength and energy have only been exhausted in the battle against Golzan, and he has only recovered a little from his coma. It would be fine if he flew over and didn't see Melba. What if Seeing it, can you defeat Melba with just this little energy and physical strength?
“Ah, I really want to have a full stomach and have a good sleep, but I have to work overtime in the middle of the night, and I don’t get paid. Being a hero is definitely the worst profession.”

Qianye Cheng wailed, stuffed food into his mouth, chewed it a few times, then swallowed it, eating half full as quickly as possible, and then drank more saliva.
"Huh!" He breathed a long sigh of relief, put the kettle on the ground, stood up despite the pain, and then held the divine light stick in front of him.
Who told him to be Ultraman? No matter what, he had to go and see it to rest assured. If what he saw was true, many people would die when Melba landed.
