Chapter 975 Ultra Star
Since then, Director Eiji has never seen the spaceman again, and this gem called the 'Ultra Star' has remained in his hands. I also asked someone to appraise it, and was told that it was just an ordinary ruby, with low purity, poor cut, and not worth much money.
However, whenever the monster at the bottom of the lake makes any movement, this ruby will flash like a heartbeat. The greater the movement of the monster, the faster the flashing frequency. Even holding the gem, standing At the lakeside, you can still see the blue light at the bottom of the lake and the red lines that bind the blue light.
Director Eiji then realized that what the man from the universe said was true. He actually sealed a monster at the bottom of this ordinary and not even deep lake, which was called the universe. The most ferocious monster.
When he first learned about this, Director Eiji was so frightened that he even stayed away from the lake, not daring to take a look. If he didn't still have a little hope in his heart, he would have wanted to give this ruby a hot potato. Throw it away.
But slowly, as he grows older and more experienced, Director Eiji gradually understands one thing, that is, there is no way to escape from the problem, and he can only solve it head on.
After being forced to fend for himself, he returned here, holding gems, sitting by the lake, looking at the monsters at the bottom of the lake, thinking, 'Who can destroy the monsters?', thinking about it, he I couldn't help but think about what it would be like if that giant monster with a height of tens of meters that the cosmonauts talked about entered the city.
Then he presented the picture he imagined in his mind in the form of a movie. The effect was surprisingly good and it was enthusiastically received. However, Director Eiji was even more frightened and uneasy besides being happy. What he made was just a movie, but there was someone at the bottom of the lake who could turn it into reality.
The worry in his heart made him come to the lake again and again, watching the monsters at the bottom of the lake, day after day, so he created "Ultra Q". He wanted to combine the universe and the people in his imagination Let me tell you what it will be like when monsters, monsters, and aliens appear on Earth.
"Ultra Q" was also very successful, with extremely high ratings. Through TV, everyone got to know the weird aliens from the universe, all kinds of monsters, big or small, and dozens of other things. What kind of damage will a meter-high monster cause in the city.
But
"He came out, what should I do?"
This was the uneasiness that Director Eiji couldn't erase. He thought about it and watched it for a long time, but finally pinned his hope on that The man from space whom I have only met once and whom I don’t understand at all, said he would come back to destroy the monsters, so
he will definitely come back.
Director Eiji thought so.
The ruby has completely dimmed, which means that the monster has stopped collision with the seal again, which also means that another crisis has been overcome. But if you hold on for a long time, you will lose. How long can you hold on?
Director Eiji returned to the company he founded with many worries. As soon as he entered the gate, he saw 'Nagano' standing at the door of the studio, looking around blankly, as if he was looking for something, but I don't know what I'm looking for.
"I haven't remembered yet!" Director Eiji sighed silently, then suppressed the melancholy and anxiety in his heart, a smile appeared on his face, and he strode towards 'Nagano', walking as he did Said: "Your name is Nagano."
"Uh, yes, President." 'Nagano' replied subconsciously, although the inexplicable thoughts in his mind told him that this was not the case, but it really meant There is no reason why.
Director Eiji nodded and said casually: "The other day you said that space people are not like this, so what do you think they should be like?"
Before "I" 'Nagano' could say anything, the scene in the dream had already appeared in my mind: the space people set a trap, first dealt with Ultraman Mebius who protects mankind, and then used him as bait to seduce Ultra The brothers took the bait and waited until the obstacles were completely cleared before launching a massive invasion. Compared with the slow-moving "leather jacket", the cunning fox-like cosmic being in the dream is more in line with the wisdom of living beings and can use all means to achieve the goal.
Seeing that 'Nagano' seemed to be thinking of something, Director Eiji did not ask further questions, but put his hand into his pocket and took out the ruby he had always regarded as a treasure. He came out, spread it out in his palms, and said in retrospect: "This is a gift given to me by a friend from the universe. He said it was a symbol of friendship. "
"A symbol of friendship!" 'Nagano' repeated in a low voice, staring at the ordinary-looking ruby, the sunlight shining on it. The red luster shone into 'Nagano's' eyes, touching his heart and bringing back long-distant memories.
Director Eiji handed the ruby in his hand to 'Nagano' and wrote: "The witness of friendship between the astronauts and the earthlings from the M78 nebula, its name is."
At this time, 'Nagano''s fingertips touched the ruby, and a name instantly appeared in his mind, making him blurt out: "Ultra Star."
Ding Bell!
As soon as 'Nagano' finished speaking, a clear sound like a wind chime sounded in his ears, like clear water, washing away the dusty soul.
The ruby suddenly bloomed with a dazzling red light, which was clearly visible even under the sunlight. Director Eiji looked with some surprise at the 'Nagano' in front of him and the ruby on his fingertips.
But 'Nagano' did not lower his head to look. Instead, he raised his head and looked at the western sky with emotion. A star appeared there, a star that was very bright even during the day, hanging in the sky. , so that people can see it at a glance.
"Ultra Star, I saw it, its light." Nagano murmured in a low voice, reflecting that Ultra Star's eyes were getting brighter and brighter, and a smile slowly appeared on the face that had always been confused.
The stars in the sky flickered several times before becoming dim and finally disappearing. The light emitted by the ruby in Director Eiji’s hand also dimmed and disappeared simultaneously, turning back to ordinary life again. Director Eiji would not have believed that a ruby could emit such a bright light if he had not seen it with his own eyes.
Seeing that the glow of the gemstone was no longer there, Director Eiji hurriedly retracted his hand and looked at the ruby up and down. There was no change in appearance, but somehow, he felt that the luster of the ruby had dimmed a lot, and he looked at it again. He held it in his hand, and then looked up at 'Nagano' who was still looking up at the sky to the west.
Director Eiji asked: "Nagano, have you thought of anything?"
"Nagano, actually my name is Chiba," 'Nagano' changed from his usual confusion. , with a gentle smile on his face, turned his head and said to Director Eiji: "Makoto Chiba!"
