Ultraman: Invincible from Saving Tiga.

Chapter 49 Lin Yu's Darkness

Looking at the monster in front of him, who was gesturing wildly and almost leaving a shadow behind, Lin Yu covered his mouth with his hand. After a while, he calmed down and gently put down the last empty bowl.

He held up two fingers and tapped them on the table.

"Alright, don't get too excited yet, Young Master Ayan."

The cool voice seemed to possess some kind of magic, instantly stopping Obik in his tracks. He turned around, rubbing his hands somewhat embarrassedly, his face still showing lingering ecstasy.

"The village needs to be rebuilt, and that depends on your memories."

Lin Yu took out a notepad and a pen from his pocket and slapped them on the stall. "Now, draw and write down everything you remember about the village."

"Draw it, draw it?"

Obik was stunned. He looked at his hands, then at the small notepad, and looked troubled. "But, I, I can't draw."

Alright, alright, so it turns out he's the Zhangyu Monster who failed to get into art school and ended up dropping out.

"Then let's talk about it."

Lin Yu gave him no chance to back down, "Starting from the village entrance, what kind of wood is that watchtower made of? How tall is it? How many steps does it have? Is it a dark or light color?"

A barrage of questions came crashing down on him, leaving Obik completely bewildered. He stood there, mouth agape, desperately trying to recall those distant images from his mind.

"Yes, it's beech wood, and it's very dark in color because it gets rained on often."

He stammered, “Steps, there seem to be steps, there are about thirty, no, it seems to be forty.”

Lin Yu wrote on the notepad with a blank expression, his voice revealing neither joy nor anger: "Is it in the thirties or forties? If this crucial data is wrong, and a leaning tower is built, don't come crying to me later."

"Don't, don't!"

Obik panicked. He closed his eyes, his face scrunched up, as if he were using all his strength to remember. "Let me think, let me think again! I used to climb up there to play every day, I must remember!"

Seeing his expression, Lin Yu's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile.

What he wanted was this kind of dedication.

Only a yokai who cherishes their past can become a trustworthy guardian.

Otherwise, with Obik's combat power, he would have no chance of surviving on the Earth Monster Room server unless he had the backing of humans.

It can only be said that Mr. Lin's kindness is gradually emerging.

Just as Obik was racking his brains over the number of steps, Lin Yu's PDI communicator in his pocket vibrated again.

He glanced at the caller ID; it was Daigo.

"It's all taken care of," Lin Yu said easily as he answered the phone.

"Lin Yu, that's great!"

Daigo's voice was filled with a sense of relief, but it quickly became serious again. "The captain wants to say a few words to you."

A moment later, a calm yet sharp female voice came from the communicator.

"Lin Yu-san, I am the captain of the GUTS team, Megumi Kijima."

"Captain Kijima, hello." Lin Yu's tone remained calm, as if he were talking to an ordinary person.

"I already know about the former site of Yano Street."

Megumi's voice sounded very capable. "Although this is beyond the jurisdiction of the Victory Team, your proposal has been approved in principle by the TPC leadership after an emergency meeting."

"Oh?"

“We will redesignate the site as a ‘Special Protection Zone for Ancient Folk Culture,’ which will be directly taken over by TPC, and all commercial development will be halted,” Megumi Kijima continued. “However, we also have one condition.”

"Please say."

“We need all the information on your ‘ancient ally,’ and we need a guarantee.”

Captain Megumi's tone was very heavy. Clearly, in order to get the proposal through quickly in the middle of the night, she chose to trust it first and take responsibility in her own name. Otherwise, the observers who would have appeared by now would probably be hawkish. "TPC needs to ensure that the power of this ally is controllable and that it is on the side of humanity."

Lin Yu glanced at Obik, who was still struggling with the number of steps, and chuckled.

"ensure?"

He countered, “Captain, do you remember the Taiping Fengtu Ji? That book should contain a record about Obik. I think it must be a positive description, because I know a swordsman who said that many demons appeared in ancient times, but those that caused trouble were all killed. The fact that Master Ayan has been able to exist is obviously because he is a good demon.”

"In addition, Ultraman Tiga also appeared in this area before. He did not choose to pull it out like the monster tree before, which obviously shows that he also acknowledged it."

There was silence on the other end of the communicator.

Taiping Customs and Traditions. Ultraman Tiga.

These five words now carry immense weight in the minds of TPC's top management.

Today, all the high-ranking members of TPC regard this ancient book, which contains a lot of information about monsters, as a treasure, even more important than their own fathers. Now, the development of many equipment and traits is inseparable from the records in the Taiping Fengtu Ji. Originally, they were also conducting research on anti-petrification rays and petrification removal rays for the petrifying monster Gakuma, but before they could figure it out, the monsters were already rampaging.

However, this also indirectly confirms that the monsters described in this ancient book are indeed almost identical, with a credibility of 100%.

The other one is known as the Monster Killer God, who became the Earth's savior by fighting four waves of monster attacks in just one day!

After a long while, Captain Megumi's voice rang out again, this time with a touch of gentleness.

“I understand. We will start the project immediately. Please send us the restoration drawings as soon as possible. In addition, TPC hopes to have a formal meeting with Obik at an appropriate time.”

"There will be a chance."

Lin Yu hung up the phone and put the communicator back in his pocket.

He looked up and saw Obik slap his thigh and shout excitedly, "I remember now! It's level 39, definitely level 39! I always get out of breath when I get to the top, I remember it clearly!"

"very good."

Lin Yu nodded and wrote down the numbers. "Next, the old locust tree at the village entrance, is it to the left or right of the watchtower? Is there a stone mill under the tree? How big is it?"

Obik's enthusiasm was completely ignited, and he began to speak eloquently, as if he had transformed into the most detailed tour guide, leading Lin Yu into the village that only existed in his memory.

Lin Yu was taking notes rapidly while simultaneously calculating in his mind.

An ancient dark gang, modern-day light companions, the GUTS' official channels, and a local yokai guardian deity.

He has more and more chess pieces in his hand.

He even had an absurd feeling that he didn't feel like Ultraman, but rather like a schemer pulling strings behind the scenes.

He's starting to look more and more like Masaki Keigo.

But the thought only flashed through my mind.

To fight against the enemies lurking in the shadows, and to protect the smile he cherishes, he'd do anything, even become a monster, let alone a schemer.

You can't reason with monsters about morality and ethics. You might as well do what Ace did: pull out your eight-point light wheel, transform into the Light Saw Man, and reason with him properly.

Just then, an unfamiliar alarm suddenly blared from the PDI communicator in his pocket.

It wasn't a phone call, it was an emergency public channel alert from the Victory Team.

Lin Yu took out his communicator, and a blinding red light was flashing on the screen, with a line of bold text scrolling continuously.

"Warning! Unknown high-dimensional energy reaction detected. Location: Over Shinjuku area."

"Warning! Energy model matching confirms 'gate' opening phenomenon."

Lin Yu's pupils suddenly contracted.

door.

They are Kirieloids!
These losers actually came back at this time?

He stood up abruptly and pushed the notebook full of notes in front of Obik.

"Write the rest down yourself. Someone will come to check it with you before dawn."

His voice turned cold and menacing.

"I'm going to work now."

Before he finished speaking, his figure had already disappeared into the night.

Obik stared blankly in the direction Lin Yu had disappeared, then looked down at the notepad filled with his memories. He could feel the aura emanating from Lin Yu just now—cold, powerful, and filled with a strong sense of oppression.

That is not light.

It's more like a bottomless darkness.

"What a...strange Ultraman."

Obik muttered to himself, but then he shook his head vigorously, picked up his pen, and a flame of hope rekindled in his eyes.

"Never mind that, let's rebuild the village first, and the lotus pond, yes, the lotus pond!"
