: Encountering the Trio Again

Several monster disasters have swept through the town, and this once peaceful and tranquil city is no longer the bustling place it once was.

The widespread destruction of neighborhoods, the collapse of residential areas, and the cracking of roads caused by the Super Gob have instilled fear in the public that far exceeds that of the previous two monster attacks.

Within a single day, the atmosphere of panic in the city had completely intensified. News channels broadcast disaster warnings around the clock, and the authorities officially issued recommendations for evacuating the city, no longer forcing residents to stay put, but encouraging all ordinary citizens to prioritize seeking refuge in neighboring cities and staying away from the dangerous war zone.

As a result, a massive wave of evacuation swept through the entire town.

The streets are no longer bustling with pedestrians, students leaving school, or shoppers. Most of the doors and windows of every household are tightly closed, and many private cars are parked along the street, temporarily packing their belongings and preparing to leave.

The once bustling city is now only deathly silent and desolate. Cold winds sweep across the empty streets, stirring up dust and scraps of paper, giving the whole city a sense of loneliness as if it were on the verge of becoming a ghost town.

Yunyu walked on the empty street, looking at the desolate scene before her, feeling a mix of emotions.

He had considered letting Xiao Mian and the others leave with the evacuation team.

Staying here means facing constant attacks from new monsters, with every battle a life-or-death struggle, and endless danger. Sending the three children away from this dangerous place is undoubtedly the safest option.

But whenever this thought arose, the scene from not long ago would involuntarily appear in his mind.

After that brutal battle against Chaogobu, he fell into a deep coma amidst the ruins. It was three children who should have been the most protected who suppressed their fear, ignored the danger, and rushed into the devastated battlefield without hesitation, managing to pull him back from the dead ruins.

They were so afraid of monsters, they were trembling with fear, yet they still mustered all their courage for him.

Thinking of this, Yun Yu gently shook her head, silently suppressing the idea of ​​persuading the children to evacuate.

He respects their choice.

Just like the core message that the Ultraman series has always conveyed, children are never appendages that need to be completely controlled or forcibly arranged. Their courage, intentions, and choices deserve to be respected as well.

Since they were willing to stay, he would no longer presume to decide their future; he would protect them with his own life.

After a brief pause, Yun Yu pulled herself out of her thoughts.

While taking small bites of the bread Xiao Mian had brought him to stave off hunger, he looked around, patiently searching for any remaining traces of energy from the dark red sphere and the whereabouts of Kashimada Hiroshi and the other two.

The three consecutive monster calamities all originated from that strange dark red ball. As long as the source cannot be found and the trio behind it cannot be caught, the crisis in this city will never truly end.

However, Yun Yu was still a little confused. She didn't know when her ability to see and hear would take effect. Could it be that this early warning talent would only be triggered when a truly deadly danger was about to strike?

Just as he was thinking and exploring the street, three familiar young figures unexpectedly entered his field of vision at the crossroads at the end of his line of sight.

They are Hiroshi Kashima, Kohei Nakahara, and Wataru Kogami.

The three of them stood openly in the middle of the road, without hiding or concealing themselves, as if they had no fear of being discovered.

Standing at the very front, Hiroshi Kashimada held the culprit red ball steadily in his palm.

The dark red sphere swirled with a faint black mist under the overcast light, exuding a restless and unsettling aura of darkness.

The moment their eyes met, the atmosphere of the entire empty street froze.

Hiroshi Kashimada stared intently at Yun Yu, who was walking slowly towards him. His eyes were filled with resentment, obsession, and incomprehension. He spoke first, his voice sharp and stubborn, characteristic of a young man:

  

"Why did you stop me from destroying the school in the first place?"

His questioning was abrupt and stiff, carrying a twisted resentment.

Before Yun Yu could respond, Hiroshi Kashimada's hand holding the red ball suddenly tightened, his knuckles turning white, and the rebellion and dissatisfaction that had been building up in his heart for so long finally erupted.

"You adults are always like this!"

Why should children have to study endlessly? Why should our lives be bound by lessons, homework, and rules? Why should children have to unconditionally obey all the arrangements made by adults?

Listening to his absurd and childish complaints, Yun Yu's heart was not affected by these doubts.

Because he was also a student, he can understand the thoughts of today's children.

I can understand it, but I absolutely cannot agree with it.

Not wanting to go to school and hating discipline are feelings that every child has to some extent, but no matter how dissatisfied they are, they would not go so far as to summon monsters to destroy the entire school and drag the ordinary people of the entire city down with them.

Yunyu sighed silently in her heart.

Moreover, learning is the foundation of growth.

If he had never studied, never accumulated knowledge and logic, the man standing here arguing with him wouldn't even have the mental capacity or vocabulary to do so.

Of course, he did not completely deny the boy's idea.

Whether in the past or present, children's ideas rarely seem to be respected by others.

Kashima's complaints may seem to have a bit of rationality due to teenage rebellion, but in the end, they are still utter nonsense.

Clearly, this is not simply teenage rebellion; he has been seduced by the red ball he is currently holding.

Once Yun Yu understood this, she lost all interest in arguing with him seriously. Trying to reason with someone who had been misled was a complete waste of time.

Yun Yu slowly raised her hand, tightly gripping the Sirius Star Chart around her neck, and warned:

"Hand over the red ball, or I'll tell your parents everything you've done."

as predicted.

The moment he heard the words "tell the parents," the dark, obsessive aura in Hiroshi Kashimada's eyes froze, and a fleeting look of human fear and panic crossed his eyes.

Clearly, their fear of their parents temporarily freed them from the control of the red ball.

But this fear only lasted for a brief moment.

The next second, the black mist in the red ball in his palm surged, and the cold, dark power instantly washed over his consciousness, completely erasing that trace of fear.

Hiroshi Kashimada's eyes were once again filled with obsession and darkness. He raised his head, staring intently at Yun Yu, his tone turning cold and mocking:

"Evil Ultra Warrior, how dare you threaten me with such a childish method?"

"We will absolutely not give in to this!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Hiroshi Kashimada no longer hesitated. He raised the crimson dark red ball in his palm and shouted his wish with all his might:

"Show your eyes! Let this evil Ultraman be enveloped in endless fear, so terrified that he's completely unable to fight!"

Boom—!!

The moment the words left his mouth, a thunderclap suddenly resounded across the gloomy sky!

Rolling black clouds surged wildly, and a gale swept through the entire deserted city street in an instant, as dense dark energy descended from the sky!

Accompanied by eerie and distorted spatial fluctuations, a bizarre monster, covered in compound eyes and exuding an extremely eerie and oppressive aura, slowly descended from the dark clouds into the mortal world.
