Global Weirdness: People Survive in Ultra

Not long after Meng Yao and others left, Long finally woke up with his hands covering his head.

He glanced inside the car; the front seat was empty and the communicator on the console had been beeping for who knows how long.

There is communication from headquarters.

It was already past eight o'clock. Long was drowsy from the sun and vaguely felt that he had overlooked some details.

He gripped the front seat and leaned forward to grab the communicator, "Hello... This is Long."

"dragon!"

Captain Shenmu's voice came from the communicator: "Are you all right? Please report your position."

"I have sent fighter planes to pick you up."

Long glanced out the window. "We're at...an abandoned processing plant outside of the city."

wait?

Why am I here.

After this question popped up in Long's mind, he couldn't help but look in the direction of the processing plant a few more times.

After waiting for a few minutes, the defense team's fighter jets finally found this place.

George and Hayato were taken away by the rescue team, and Long himself, being conscious, took a fighter plane directly back to the base.

The one who came to pick up Long was Captain Shenmu, with whom he had communicated before.

The two walked in the corridor of the base, one after the other. Long hesitated and said, "Captain, what exactly happened today?"

Long felt that his memory of today was very fragmented.

Why did he faint, and why did he appear outside the processing plant? He couldn't remember any of these memories.

But before the captain could answer, Long felt his communicator ringing.

He took out his communicator and saw an unknown message on it:

You may have forgotten something.

【But don't mention it to your teammates.】

Long looked at the message, and his already confused expression became even more confused.

Captain Shenmu in front turned around at this moment and asked sternly, "What are you talking about?"

"You were kidnapped today by the wanted criminals, that human and robot."

is that so?

Long glanced at the communicator and silently put it away.

He didn't ask any more questions, but nodded dully and followed the captain obediently.

Captain Shenmu said as he walked, "There's something wrong with you today."

"Do you need psychological treatment?"

In the work of the defense team, members often suffer psychological trauma and personality changes due to various reasons.

When Shenmu saw that Long's personality had changed, he thought he had a mental problem.

"Ah, no, no, that's not necessary, Captain." Long suddenly panicked, "I just need to rest for a while."

Shenmu looked at Long suspiciously.

Finally, he said helplessly: "Okay, you can rest today."

After saying that, he left alone and soon disappeared at the end of the corridor.

It was not until Long watched Captain Shenmu leave that he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Who sent these messages?"

Long walked to an empty corner, took out the communicator and fiddled with it for a while.

After searching in vain, he patted his head and said, "But come to think of it, I seem to have forgotten something."

Long thought about it and finally came to his room.

He closed the door, turned on the computer, logged into the defense team's internal network, and finally typed the word "giant" into it.

This is his only memory.

Perhaps it was because the figure of Lopus that he saw at the place of death was so shocking that even though Long had his memory of that day erased, he still retained some impressions.

The search results came out quickly.

But Long flipped through several pages and didn't get the answer he wanted. Most of the content was about some hideous alien-like beings.

And when the mouse stays on a certain document.

Long suddenly got an "Insufficient Permissions" prompt.

Ok?

Long glanced at the title. In the dark room, the bold black words on the screen were so conspicuous—

Regarding the dismissal of Captain Poshui.

Long's eyes dimmed, and the fingers gripping the mouse trembled slightly. His heart was suddenly stirred by some rumors.

It is said that Captain Poshui was dismissed and imprisoned for some reason.

The rumors vaguely mentioned giants.

But unfortunately, Long's query authority is not sufficient to know the specific details of this document.

If you want to check, you can only use the main computer in the command room.

Long thought about it, and finally stood up and walked out of the room.

It was already noon when he was looking up information in the room, and there was probably no one in the command room.

Thinking of this, Long quickly arrived at the door of the command room.

After he verified and opened the door, he walked in and found that Zheping and Xiaoai were still in the command room.

"Ah, Long!" Zheping looked up from his computer. "Aren't you taking a day off today?"

Long tugged at his white short-sleeved shirt with a hint of embarrassment: "Ha, let me use the computer to look up some information.

"Isn't the PC's permissions sufficient?"

Zheping didn't doubt it, but opened a search window: "What do you want to search? I'll help you find it."

Long thought of the text message he had received.

Just as I was about to say a few words to change the subject, I suddenly noticed that the computer in front of Zheping was completely blank.

Countless snowflakes are making noise.

Long frowned, and the awkward look on his face immediately disappeared.

He frowned, looked at Zheping, and then looked at the snowflakes on the screen.

"The screen is covered in snow..." Long said, pausing each word, "Zheping, is your computer off?"

"impossible."

Zheping smiled and tapped on the keyboard: "Are you seeing things? Isn't the system interface right here?"

Long felt that he was deceiving.

He subconsciously wanted to shout out the base's AI infinity, but suddenly a big hand came from behind and covered the dragon's mouth.

Dr. Germann appeared in front of Long, his back to Teppei, and raised a finger: "Shh!"

Then he turned to Zheping and said, "I happened to be looking for Long for something. The information he's looking for can be found on my computer."

"Long, follow me."

With that, Dr. German pushed Long out of the GUYS command room.

After the two teams merged, although they still went on missions together, their command rooms were still separate.

The moment Long left, he took one last look into the command room.

Zheping and Xiaoai both looked at him, and the computers in front of them were flickering with dim white lights.

The photos made their faces look a little stiff.

Long was a little dazed for a moment.

Are those abnormalities and unusual things just my faults?

Following behind Dr. German, looking at his tall back, I didn't know where to start.

"Doctor, you..."

Dr. German said, "Let's go to the lab."

The dragon kept quiet until the two finally descended from the Phoenix Nest and reached the laboratory at the bottom.

The laboratory was empty. Dr. German pushed aside the chair in front of the table and sat down. "Okay, it's safe for now."

"Doctor, what just now—"

Dr. German glanced at Long, his eyes staring blankly ahead. "If I'm not mistaken, this is all the work of that 'ghost'."

"ghost?"

The doctor nodded, breaking away from his thoughts and returning his gaze to the dragon: "Let's call him that for now."

He held out a hand, fingers spread out, and in his palm was a small metal device.

"This is a device I deliberately made before returning to the world to store some memories."

"The disappearance of memories and the harmony of the archives made me realize that there might be problems within the defense team. To prevent any accidents, I created this thing."

He sighed: "But who knew that things would be more serious than I thought."

Long was a little confused until the doctor put the device on the side of his temple.

The cold touch made Long raise an eyebrow. Just as he was about to reach out, the doctor stopped him: "Don't touch it, it might hurt later."

"But you'll be able to regain your memory soon."

Long suddenly didn't dare to move anymore.

Although he was confused, he had a vague feeling in his heart that the doctor was right to do this.

Long himself also noticed something was wrong.

After the device was installed, the doctor pressed the start button.

First there was a slight tingling sensation, but then pain spread all over his body. Long convulsed unconsciously, but many memories began to flash through his mind:

Moon Base, Leo, Meng Yao...

After five minutes, the device exploded with a crackling sound, and Long half-knelt on the ground with sweat on his forehead.

The doctor glanced at the debris on the ground and said, "Is this an overload..."

He helped Long up and said, "How's it going? Did you remember anything?"

The dragon's lips were pale and his eyes were red.

There was a small burnt area on his temple due to the explosion of the device just now.

But he still firmly grasped the doctor's hand and slowly stood up with the help of the hand.

"I remembered my memories of the outside world." Long suddenly laughed bitterly, "But I still forgot about the abandoned processing plant."

"That memory was deleted, and it's not stored in the device."

It seems that the Doctor can do nothing.

Long pulled a chair over and sat on it. He picked up a glass of water and gulped down several mouthfuls. He panted and said, "Now that his memory has been restored, we have to find a way to help Meng Yao."

The doctor shook his head, but quickly closed his mouth with a serious expression: "We can't help him."

"With the 'ghost', if the fact that we have recovered our memories is exposed, something bad will happen in an instant."

"I feel like the 'ghost' is in the defense team, so we must protect ourselves first."

Long raised an eyebrow.

He crumpled the paper cup into a ball and threw it into the trash can. "So, isn't it more dangerous in the defense team?"

"What the hell is a 'ghost'? What about my teammates?!"

He thought of the scenes in the command room just now and felt a chill in his heart.

The doctor remained silent. He turned on his computer and brought up some images. "Regarding 'Ghost', I don't know what it is either. Through a deep search, I found these in the database's recycle bin."

The dragon came closer.

Because they were found in the recycle bin, most of the images were of very poor quality, and many of them even had only a few simple pixels.

The first picture shows a city at night with a bright spot in the city center.

The second one is completely distorted pixels.

The rest are too blurry to discern any useful information.

The doctor's mouse moved back and forth over the photoelectric image in the first picture: "This is the 'ghost'."

Long was incredulous: "What is this? I can't see anything. It's just a mosaic!"

"Yes, it's mosaic."

The doctor nodded. "I also have memories of Him in my mind, but they are just a mosaic."

Long straightened his body and subconsciously zoomed out to examine the doctor carefully from head to toe. "So, Doctor, you've had your memory erased a long time ago?"

"Not just me."

The doctor's eyes grew darker, carrying an unknown gloom: "The entire defense team, or rather the entire world, has been wiped out."

He was referring to the memory of "Ultraman".

"We've already lost count of how many times our memories have been erased."

The doctor even came to a more terrifying conclusion: "If the 'ghost' can really erase memories infinitely and rewind time——"

"I'm afraid this isn't the first time we've had this conversation here."

Long noticed that the doctor was looking at a corner. Following his gaze, he found that the doctor was looking at the debris that had just exploded all over the ground.

The doctor said quietly, "Although this device is simple, there's no reason why it would overload and explode after only two uses."

The two fell silent, each lost in thought.

The doctor was the first to break the silence: "By the way, what were you trying to check in the command room just now?"

Long let out an "Ah," then remembered the matter at hand: "It's about Captain Sakumui."

"Is he the former captain of your GUYS before the two teams merged?"

The doctor was typing away on his computer, and then glared at the person behind the scenes: "You don't even have enough authority for me?!"

As the chief scientist of the base, he should have the highest authority.

Even if it is Captain Shenmu, Director Meiqi and he should have the same authority.

"If even I can't find it, who else has higher authority?"

The doctor subconsciously shouted out: "Is this thing locked in the system?!"

Long asked weakly from the side, "Doctor, don't you have a device that can virtualize people?"

The Doctor glanced at Long and understood what he meant.

"That's too dangerous. What's virtualized is only the consciousness. If we encounter danger, we will have no means of resistance!"

rustling --

At this moment, the screen that was originally on suddenly became blurry.

A lot of snow noise begins to appear.

Long patted the top of the machine: "Doctor, is the computer malfunctioning?"

The doctor didn't answer. He tilted his head and kept looking at the screen. The snowflakes became more and more, filling the entire screen. And among the snowflakes, a distorted human figure began to emerge.

"ghost?!"

The doctor subconsciously pressed the power button, but it didn't work.

Snapped!

The laboratory suddenly went dark, and then the emergency lights came on.

Long stood in front of the electrical box and looked at the doctor: "How is it, doctor? Is it turned off?"

The doctor couldn't help but laugh and slumped in his chair.

"I didn't expect the 'ghost' would find its way here."

The doctor stroked his chin, thinking: "What on earth is that thing? Could it be that He has discovered us?"

"But my lab has an adaptive defense system I developed..."

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

Meng Yao and Nan Xizi, who had regained her memory, and others walked along the forest path, slowly moving away from the abandoned processing plant.

Nan Xizi walked beside Meng Yao and handed him something.

Meng Yao took it in his hand with confusion, and it turned out to be Ace's Ultra Medal.

"Where did you get this thing?!"

Meng Yao was a little surprised at once. He rubbed it vigorously with his sleeve and even blew on it, then observed it carefully under the sunlight.

Although the information about the badge clearly appeared in his mind, Meng Yao still found it somewhat unbelievable.

He searched for the badge but couldn't find it.

Nan Xizi smiled slightly: "I don't know either, it appeared in my pocket after I recovered my memory.

After putting the badge away, Meng Yao thought about what Nan Xizi said.

"In that case, if Daigu's memory is restored, wouldn't I be able to get another badge?"

Although Nan Xizi's words were of little reference value, Meng Yao was still moved.
