Chapter 1841 The Pretender
The silver body, the red patterns, and the pair of small sharp horns on the head
With such distinctive features, it is definitely Taiga.
But how is this possible?
Tai Jia is obviously right behind him!
Chiba Makoto didn't care to talk to Daichi, who was frightened and looked at Chiba Makoto who knocked open his door with a horrified expression. He immediately turned around and saw an empty corridor.
Where is Taiga?
Wasn’t he still behind you just now?
Before knocking open Daichi’s door, Chiba Makoto could still hear Taiga’s heavy footsteps with his keen hearing. Why was there suddenly no one there?
Could it be that the Ultraman who was destroying the city live on TV was really Taiga?
At this moment, even Chiba Cheng couldn't help but have a trace of doubt in his mind, but he immediately rejected it.
Impossible!
It is impossible for Taiga to attack the city. He is an Ultra warrior from the Kingdom of Light. He has received an orthodox education since he was a child, and is less prone to corruption than 'Wild Road'.
Unless
He is controlled!
If a righteous warrior does something evil, it must be because his mind is affected and his actions are controlled, and he becomes something else.
Chiba Cheng immediately ran along the way he came, striding forward with such speed that his clothes flew up.
Tap! tread!
The sound of footsteps echoed rapidly in the corridor. It only took Chiba Cheng two or three seconds to cross the nearly twenty-meter-long corridor, and he drifted at the end, thus stabilizing I rounded the corner steadily and saw Taiga.
Lying on the ground, leaning against the wall, with his head hanging down, he slept soundly.
Fell asleep again!
And that’s when the ‘cold’ Ultraman Taiga appeared.
It was like this when I was in the mountains, and it is like this now.
I didn’t know it before, but now that I have discovered it, I fell asleep.
Looking at Taiga's posture, he suddenly fainted while walking.
There is definitely a problem with this, and it's a big problem.
"Taiga, Taiga, wake up, wake up!"
Chiba Cheng hurriedly shook and shouted vigorously, while raising his left arm, glanced at his watch, and confirmed the current time.
"Yeah"
Taija slowly opened his eyes. He was confused at first, and then his eyes widened when he saw it was Chiba Makoto.
"I'm waiting a minute!"
Taija suddenly jumped up from the ground, and his face became quite ugly, which vividly explained what it means to be livid.
Chiba Makoto, who was half-crouching on the ground, stood up, looked at Taiga's expression, and said, "Are you dreaming again?"
Although it was a question, it was an affirmative tone.
"Yeah!" Taiga nodded heavily, then realized something, raised his head, looked at Qianye Cheng and said, "Did it appear again?"
"Alas!"
Chiba Cheng sighed in his heart and said: "The news has just been broadcast urgently"
Before he finished speaking, Taiga had already said, "Kick!" Kick! ’ He stumbled away and ran straight to the living room. He didn’t bother to turn on the light and turned on the computer first.
The short few seconds of booting time seemed so long to Taiga at this moment. He was so anxious that he wanted to push the computer. The fear and uneasiness in his heart made him sweat constantly on his forehead, and he knocked on the computer. As I typed in the password, my hands couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Finally, when I opened the browser, the first thing on the list was: Ultraman attacked the city, causing
My brain felt dizzy, almost suffocating!
Taiga swayed a bit, and even couldn't stand still, so he took two steps back. Fortunately, the muscle memory formed by long-term and repeated training allowed him to subconsciously reach out his hand. , grabbed the table next to him and steadied himself, otherwise he might have fallen down on the ground.
"How is it possible?"
Taija's lips were trembling, but the sound he made was weak, as if someone had covered his mouth or blocked his throat. His eyes were staring straight. The ones with dull eyes are like some little flowers, perfectly interpreting what it means to be godless and focusless.
Although it was night and the picture taken was not very clear, the huge body made up for these shortcomings, allowing people to recognize at a glance who the giant standing in the city was, destroying the surrounding buildings?
Ultraman!
Ultraman Taiga!
It’s him!
It’s him!
Just like the scene in the dream, he looked at the city under his feet indifferently and ruthlessly destroyed the surrounding buildings, as if all this had nothing to do with him, he didn't think about anything, he just continued to repeat the destruction. action.
No!
Even if it is an unrelated place, or even a place where evil gathers, Ultraman will not be like this when he destroys it.
You know, even when Ultraman Leo took action to destroy the Black Star, the source of all evil, it was not like he did in his 'dream'.
Looking like that, I am almost like a robot, a robot that has no self-awareness and can only act according to instructions.
"Me, me." Taiga slowly raised his arms, looked down at his slightly trembling hands, and said in a sleepy voice: "What on earth did I do?"
Although separated by the screen, one could clearly see the raging fire and the collapsed houses, as well as the wailing sounds heard in the 'dream'.
Recalling it at this moment made Taiga extremely painful, but at the time he felt nothing, and it was completely unable to arouse his sympathy and mercy.
"Taiga!"
Qianye Cheng chased after him. Looking at Taiga who was in great pain, he frowned, then strode forward and shouted: "If something happens, only If you cry, then go back to your swaddling clothes, the real battle A soldier will only sweat instead of shed tears. "
"I" Taijia quickly raised his hand to wipe the tears that had just shed, and said with red eyes: "I really don't know why I don't want to? , but it is.”
"Are you sure it was you who did it?"
Chiba Makoto walked up to Taiga and glanced at the picture playing on the computer screen. In the dark city, a giant was doing whatever he wanted. Destroying.
Whether it’s fists, feet or light, where the punches and kicks occur, the house collapses; where the light hits the ground, the sky and the earth are shaken.
It took less than twenty seconds from the time the giant appeared to when it disappeared.
This was just a glass of water, but it turned a large area into a sea of fire, turned countless houses into ruins, and caused extremely heavy damage.
"I" Qianye Cheng's words made Taiga raise his head suddenly, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes, but immediately turned gloomy again, and whispered: "It's the same as in my dream."
" So what," Chiba Cheng spread his hands and said, He said in surprise: "Does it mean that just because you dreamed of killing someone, you have to be sentenced to death?"
"But..." Taiga raised his finger and pointed at the computer. The short video he opened was already there. After playing, the next playback starts automatically. The latest announcement issued by a disaster control department:
"According to statistics, a total of 123 houses have been damaged to varying degrees. Thirty-eight people have been found dead and 87 injured. Rescue Still in progress, expected losses."
Chiba Makoto raised his voice by another three points, covering the sound on the computer, and said: "Just because what happened in reality happened to be the same as in the dream, I felt that it was me. Did it?
How come you kill someone in your dream? "
After saying that, Chiba Cheng's tone softened a lot and said: "If you start to doubt yourself, you just fell into the trap of the other party. "
"A trap? "
"Yes, it's a trap set for you, no, it should be said to be all Ultraman's," Chiba Makoto said in a deep voice: "The other party is very aware of Ultraman's character and behavior. Only then would he deliberately ruin Ultraman's reputation and make humans doubt and hate Ultraman, thereby destroying the bond between Ultraman and humans, and incidentally irritating Ultraman and even making him lose his mind. "I know Ultraman very well." A name immediately came to Taiga's mind: "Tregear!" ”
Tregear is a native of the Kingdom of Light. He not only participated in the entrance test of the Space Guard, but also entered the Space Science and Technology Bureau. His understanding of Ultra Warriors is probably more than 90% of Ultras. Man.
"It's probably it." Chiba Cheng nodded. Tregear could also do this kind of thing, but I don't know how it made Taiga sleep and dream and accurately grasped Taiga. The timing of Jia waking up is also the light.
When Taiga appeared in the deep mountains, the light he emitted during the battle with the Magma Stars was indeed exactly the same as Taiga. Could it be a simulation, just like the Zarabu Stars and the Magma Stars? Like the Babar planet, he has the ability to mimic even the Ultra Eyes.
Or maybe a created puppet?
Tregchia has the brains and ability to create a puppet, which is not surprising at all.
After listening to Chiba Makoto's analysis and thinking along this line of thinking, Taiga suddenly became enlightened, and the burden of guilt in his heart was immediately let go. His whole person felt much more relaxed, and was replaced by anger.
“Damn Tregear, we must not let this guy go.”
Taiga gritted his teeth and said with anger beyond words.
The bond that it took me so long to establish with humans was definitely severely damaged by Tregear's actions.
Without looking, Taiga can imagine what it will be like when he wakes up tomorrow.
There will definitely be countless people questioning and condemning Ultraman's destructive behavior, and the abuses will come pouring in. No matter how much effort they put in afterwards, or even exposing the fake Taiga, they can't completely make up for it.
Trust is something that is much easier to destroy than to establish, and once it is destroyed, it will leave a permanent trace and never be as strong as before.
The thought of this made Taiga very angry.
I can't wait to rush to Tregear immediately and step on him to relieve the hatred in my heart.
No matter how much anger and hatred there is now, it will not help.
Because he had no idea where Tregear was.
Chiba Cheng patted Taiga on the shoulder and said softly: "Go and have a rest and have a good sleep."
When it comes to sleeping, Taiga can't help but have thoughts in his heart With a touch of worry, he said hesitantly: "But."
"Don't worry, I will keep an eye on it."
"Thank you!"
Chiba Cheng smiled and said: "Okay, go to sleep."
"Yes!"
Taija then walked towards his room, and in his Behind him, Chiba Cheng's smile that was full of smiles just now disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by deep worry.
Until Taiga's figure disappeared at the end of the corridor, Chiba Cheng sighed imperceptibly, glanced to the left as if inadvertently, then withdrew his gaze and walked towards Dadi's room.
Although Chiba Cheng said that just now, it was actually just his wishful thinking, and it was more used to comfort Taiga. In fact, Chiba Cheng himself did not know whether the fact was true.
Not only because the light used by 'Cold Taiga' is exactly the same as Taiga, but also because Taiga suddenly fell asleep for no reason.
Chiba Makoto has encountered Bakagon, known as the dream monster, before. This guy is a special monster born based on the brain waves of special humans in their sleep.
It appears when you are asleep and disappears when you wake up!
And the personalities of people in dreams and people in reality are very different.
In reality, Katsuma Ikuta is timid, submissive, and a standard dog-licking, honest person; but in his sleep, Katsuma Ikuta is extremely crazy and is about to destroy everything.
This is of course because reality has legal and moral constraints that people dare not violate. It is also because dreams can let oneself go freely and do whatever one wants. The weakening of self-awareness after falling asleep also releases the inner darkness that is usually suppressed. , will become completely different from when you are awake.
If
If it is indeed Taiga or a monster formed by Taiga's consciousness, doesn't it mean that Taiga has a desire for violence and destruction deep in his heart?
"No, no!"
Chiba Cheng quickly shook his head and shook off this speculation.
How is it possible?
Taiga is a proper third generation light, a pure Ultra warrior, how could he be the same as Beria and Tregear?
Absolutely impossible!
So, Taiga, who appeared twice tonight, is definitely a mimic made by someone from the universe or a puppet created by Tregear.
Well, it must be.
Chiba Cheng thought so, walked to Dadi's room, raised his hand and knocked on the door.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
“Coming!”
The sound of the earth came from the door, and then ‘click! ’ With a sound, the door was opened.
Then he saw Dadi, whose mouth was full of foam, and Dadi also saw Chiba Makoto standing in front of the door, and was obviously stunned for a moment.
There was a knock on the door?
I just walked in directly through the door.
"Uh, you." Dadi blinked and said hesitantly: "Is there something wrong?"
"Something is wrong." Qianye Cheng pointed and asked: "Can I come in?"
"Of course!"
Dadi quickly got out of the way, and then quickly wiped the foam with a towel.
After entering the door, Chiba Cheng saw the Aix terminal on the table at a glance. He continued to walk forward and said, "Any reaction?"
"Ah?" Dadi He was stunned for a moment, then followed Qianye Cheng's gaze and moved forward. Looking over, he saw the Aix terminal and immediately realized what Chiba Makoto was talking about. He shook his head and said, "No, could it be that the power is out?"
This is the earth. The best possibility that comes to mind is that it's broken at the worst.
But seeing how seriously Chiba Makoto took this thing, he decided not to talk about the bad situation.
"So I'm here to recharge it."
Chiba Makoto said, having taken out the dimensional fighting device, and then raised it towards the X terminal.
