Ultraman Any Key: Qiming

Chapter 1 1. The Morning Star Resides in You

"Question: There's a fire, and you only have time to save one of the two: a dog you've raised for six years and a child you don't know. Who would you choose?"

The phone on the table vibrated, and Zhihu pushed a question like this.

"I choose to put out the fire." After Qi Ming answered, he continued to yawn and look through his roommate's notes under the desk lamp.

At this time, it was already 2:30 in the morning.

This semester he was obsessed with his side job and lived a life of "skipping required courses and skipping elective courses".

The end of the semester is approaching, and in order to get decent grades, Qi Ming chooses to study late into the night.

"Ding." The phone vibrated again, this time it was QQ Kandian pushing news.

Qi Ming, feeling drowsy, glanced at the content—a blue glowing object descended upon the Pacific Ocean. The Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force went to investigate, but a deep-sea operation vessel lost contact...

Seeing this, he was so exhausted that he finally couldn't hold on any longer. He closed his eyes and fell asleep.

..............................

When Qi Ming woke up, what he saw was an unfamiliar ceiling.

That ceiling with peeling walls and a blue ceiling fan hanging on it, this is not his dormitory!
This is... a bookstore?
Shouldn't I be in the dormitory? Who brought me here?
And this peculiarly shaped watch, when did I put it on my wrist?
Qi Ming sat up and looked around in surprise at the unfamiliar environment.

The warm yellow lights create a warm and comfortable atmosphere. The air is filled with a faint scent of ink. Most of the book covers displayed in the wooden windows are printed in Japanese.

Out of interest, Qi Ming worked as a "hero" in the Chinese translation group for a while and was able to understand Japanese.

He pulled out a book with an eye-catching name nearby - "A Tribute to the GUTS Who Defended Peace".

GUTS? It's not what I think it is, the so-called Victory Team from Ultraman Tiga, right?
He opened the first page - it was the introduction of Captain Moroboshi Dan.

[Tsunobu Moroboshi] [Captain], these two words put together make one's scalp tingle.

Qi Ming lowered his gaze to the accompanying photo, and it was really him!

He was the tyrant with a crutch who used the actions of "beating and slapping" on Feng Yuan mainly, and the verbal abuse of "idiot, shut up" as a supplement!

The logical genius who said to Feng Yuan after he risked his life to protect the earth several times, "Earthlings are fighting hard to protect the earth, but as an alien, have you made any efforts?"

Isn't he a member of UG and the captain of MAC? How come he becomes the captain of the Victory Team?

Qi Ming turned to the next page in surprise - Vice Captain Nishijo Nagi.

This person also frequently comes up with golden sentences.

After seeing Nexus rescue humans from the alien beasts and send them out of danger, her comment was - "It's just two alien beasts fighting for food."

After being rescued from the encirclement of alien beasts by Jun Himeya, she gritted her teeth and said, "I must kill him with my own hands!"
Qi Ming continued to turn the pages - Team member Kishida.

Judging from the photo, his tense face is exactly the same as that of Team Kishida from the MAT team in "Ultraman Jack".

This guy was also a stress monster at the beginning. In the episode where Gudun and the two-tailed monster attacked Tokyo, he found a stone that looked like a monster egg. Kishida shot it twice and thought it was okay.

Xiang Xiushu wanted to confirm it more carefully, so he became angry when he did not follow the advice of his senior.

Later, when the monster eggs hatched, five people were trapped underground. He chose to support the plan of his uncle, Commander Kishida, and believed that the bomb could be used regardless of the five lives underground.

Next page - Mountain team members. This one is even more heavyweight.

He seems to be schizophrenic in "Ultraman Ace". Basically, he uses a reason to criticize Beidou at the beginning of each episode, and then uses the opposite reason to continue to criticize Beidou.

In the episode where the Hippolyte aliens invaded, he even advocated handing over Ultraman Ace to the invaders.

Captain Dan Moroboshi, vice-captain Nagi Nishijo, team members Yamanaka and Kishida... What kind of "culmination of the team" is this?
I'm really curious about how they get along... Never mind, just don't let them fall into my hands.

Last page——Team member Huimei.

Emi in "Ultraman Blaze"?
Although she is a troubled girl who once hacked into the national network system, she is quite mortal compared to the previous ones.

So, what is the situation when Tsukumo Moroboshi from "Leo", Nagi Nishijo from "Nexus", Kishida from "Jack", Yamanaka from "Ace", and Emi from "Blaze" all gather in the victory team in "Utiga"?
Is this a dream, am I awake?

Qi Ming pinched his face, and the pain there made him accept the terrible fact.

He traveled through time and space to an Ultra world where "all the best are learned" and "many heroes gather together".

According to Qi Ming's kindergarten teacher, when he was in kindergarten, other children wet the bed because they were wetting the bed randomly, but he would pee on a magic wand one day and a sapphire cone the next. Others had a connection with Buddha, but he had a connection with Ao.

Now it seems that this is definitely a bad fate!
After groping in the dark for a while, Qi Ming sat on the walnut floor and forced himself to analyze calmly.

"Since time travel has already happened, then no matter what happens next, it won't be surprising."

Soon, he fixed his gaze on his right hand.

This inexplicable journey through time is most likely related to the watch that appeared afterwards. It brought me here and should be able to send me back.

The watch consists of a soft, wrist-like base and a movement. Atop the movement is a rotating dial with four luminous pushers arranged in a square.

But Qi Ming fiddled with it for a long time and it didn't respond at all.

There was nothing displayed on the screen, not even the time, and it looked like it hadn't been turned on.

He wanted to check the back of the watch, but he couldn't take it off.

Bound?
Qi Ming did not insist on continuing. He turned on the TV on the counter of the bookstore, hoping to get real-time news from the world so that he would not be in the dark.

An emergency notice was playing on TV: three monsters were converging towards a place called [Land of Tiga], and the Victory Team had been dispatched to block them.

No wonder there were no customers or staff in this bookstore. It turned out they all went to take emergency shelter.

Qi Ming recognized the origins of these three monsters at first sight. Golzan and Melba from the first episode of "Ultraman Tiga", and Garula from the thirty-ninth episode, are all super ancient monsters.

What concerned him more was this combination. Golzan and Melba went together to the pyramid to dismantle the stone statue. This was the content of the first episode of "Ultraman Tiga".

But with the addition of Garula, it is likely that Tsubasa Moroboshi will have to face three enemies at once...which makes people feel uneasy.

What should I do? The monster is coming soon. Should I evacuate to a safe area, or...

Qi Ming's father was a drug enforcement police officer who was shot but never left the front line. Under his influence, Qi Ming has never been a timid person.

Hesitation and waiting for death are not a solution. He wants to go to the front line to see what this world is like.

Thinking of this, Qi Ming opened the shop door and walked into the scorching sunlight outside the bookstore.
