Ultra Star

Chapter 4: Ruins and Giants

"Captain, we have confirmed that there is indeed a ruin in the mountain. We are ready to investigate."

"Well, Team Member Cui Cheng, you and Team Member Jia Dao must be careful. Just in case, the headquarters has already prepared the Combat Meteor Force to set off and they can arrive at any time."

"Understood, Captain."

Three years ago, Cui Cheng and Jia Dao became members of the special investigation team after selection and training. In addition to them, Qi Yun and a heroic woman Lin Shengnan also joined the team. Originally, Qi Feng wanted to join with Qi Yun, but his parents were really worried about both of them joining the army, so as the eldest brother, Qi Feng compromised.

Cui Cheng and Jia Dao received an order from Captain Shi Lei to go to a ruin to investigate. The ruins were suspected to record traces of monsters, so Jia Dao, who was good at history, and Cui Cheng were sent to assist.

"Jia Dao, come and take a look. There seem to be some texts and murals here."

Jia Dao looked in the direction Cui Cheng pointed, and saw that the wall was covered with obscure ancient texts and some simple murals.

"If I'm not mistaken, this mural probably records the people's fight against monsters at that time."

"I noticed that, too. This monster really looks like a giant shrimp, and its color is similar, too."

"Let's take photos of these ancient characters and translate them when we get back. If I'm right, this relic must be at least 1000 years old, no less."

Cui Cheng couldn't help but sigh, and after taking photos and recording Jia Dao, he came out.

"The next step will be for more professional people to do. Let's go first."

"Well, excuse me." A middle-aged man who looked like the person in charge here said, "Is there anything else I can do with this project?"

Jia Dao came up to the man and said, "What do you think? The ruins inside are at least 1000 years old. Once you tell the truth, this place will definitely be closed. I guess they will also give you some compensation to minimize your losses. You can talk to the staff then."

The middle-aged man had no choice but to give way reluctantly, and Cui Cheng and Jia Dao left with the information.

"What are your plans lately, Cui Cheng? Qi Yun has been thinking about setting up a table these days while there is nothing important to do."

"Forget it, I have an appointment these days."

"Good guy, you are ready to chase girls (?w?)hiahiahia. If you really want to do this, you can ask me for advice. I have dated many girls, but I am honest now."

"You're overthinking. I was just trying to gather some information recently. Now that I have a result, I want to finish the job quickly. I'm afraid something might happen. And what do you mean by nothing? You still have to study and translate the text on the mural."

The two got into the car while talking, Cui Cheng sat as the co-pilot and Jia Dao drove the car, and the two returned to the team.

Cui Cheng actually found out that Tianhai News Network had published photos of him fighting a few days ago. This was nothing, but at that time the website launched a name voting, and one of the names was Ultraman. He wanted to investigate just in case, but he had been studying the remains of the monsters and summarizing his combat experience these days, so he really didn't have time.

Tianhai TV News Department

"Here's an address. You can go there and see people."

“Thank you.” After saying that, Cui Cheng left the TV station and took a taxi to the place described in the address - an old neighborhood that looked pretty good.

Cui Cheng inquired with the locals and arrived at the residence listed in the address. The person who opened the door was a very energetic middle-aged man with dark skin, some muscles could be vaguely seen on his arms and legs, but his face was gentle but also sharp.

"This guy is a martial artist." Cui Cheng thought to himself.

"No one has come here for a long time. It's rare that I don't have much work." The middle-aged man said as he picked up two cups. "Young man, what do you want to drink?"

"Uncle, I just need plain water." This was Cui Cheng's first time visiting someone's home, and he didn't want to cause any trouble for them.

"Okay." The uncle brought two glasses of water, one placed in front of Cui Cheng and the other one he drank and placed in front of himself. The two looked at each other and sat on the blanket on the ground, with a small wooden table in the middle.

"Young man, I know why you want to ask for the name. It's actually very simple. The giant is a warrior of the Ultra Clan."

"The Ultra Clan?"

"Yes, the Ultraman family is very famous in all universes. They are called the Giants of Light, who punish evil and maintain peace in the universe. They can be called the embodiment of hope. It is said that their family once experienced a catastrophe, but they survived through the Plasma Spark Tower and gained super strength. The one you transformed into is one of them." After saying that, the uncle took a look at the bracelet on Cui Cheng's right wrist, "But don't worry, I'm not interested in your power. It's just that I felt that something was wrong with that giant since the first battle. Although he didn't fight many times afterwards, he didn't feel the same as before, and his combat effectiveness also declined. According to my understanding, that warrior is most likely dead. The one you transformed into is called Ultraman Float. I've met him a few times, what a pity."

"Senior, are you telling the truth?"

"Of course, when the Giant of Light is active on some planets, it will select human bodies and place its power in some objects. This bracelet is obviously one of those things. You must work hard. Since you have chosen it, don't let them down. There is another thing you must know - no matter how powerful the Giants are, they will not interfere with human choices. Remember this. By the way, be careful about the ruins you have been looking at recently. I am afraid something is going to come out. We will meet soon. And I will be honest with you. I am from Nakel. Your name on Earth is Liu Yun. I wanted to be surnamed Zhao, but forget it."

"Got it. I'm leaving now. See you later, Uncle Liu." After Cui Cheng left, Liu Yun said, "This kid's fighting ability is not good enough. He should practice more in private when he has time. If he hadn't been saved by that human before, I would have left long ago."

What Liu Yun said today helped him temporarily understand some things about the giants, and also shocked him greatly. The giant was actually from outer space and this was just one of them. There were also problems with the ruins, but what could be the problem? The monster in the mural couldn't appear out of thin air. While thinking, Cui Cheng rushed home. The holiday was not over yet, and Cui Cheng planned to go home to sleep and return to the team tomorrow.

The next day, the Meteor reconnaissance plane landed near the door of his house.

"Cui Cheng, come quickly. Something happened at the ruins."
