Following the crow's unpleasant howl, countless crows in the sky responded.

They circled and echoed each other, like bits of dried blood clots under the blood-red sunset.

"Where do all these crows around the institute come from?"

Lina's face looked grim. Having been exposed to so many abnormal phenomena in such a short period of time almost broke down her psychological defenses.

The crows landed on a water tower in the woods, their dark eyes looking down, not knowing whether they were looking at their dying companions or Lina.

Could it be——

Will I die too?

Lina's face suddenly turned pale, and she turned and ran into the corridor.

This was a very old dormitory building without an elevator. As the voice-activated lights lit up floor by floor, Lina ran breathlessly until she finally reached the dormitory on the fifth floor.

Open the door and turn on the light.

Looking at the dim light illuminating everything in the room and those familiar items from her father, Lina finally calmed down a little.

"It seems normal to have crows in this season. Our city is already home to a large number of crows."

Lina soothed her chest with her hands and slowly walked to the window.

But what surprised her was that the flock of crows that had just filled the water tower had disappeared, and there were more crows fluttering around on the ground.

A figure crouched in the woods.

It was holding something and seemed to be chewing it.

Lina pulled the curtains and then took out her camera.

As a reporter, when I encountered such a strange thing, I subconsciously wanted to record it.

But when she took out her camera, she was shocked to find that the grass was empty.

"Disappeared?"

Lina was suspicious when she suddenly heard footsteps coming from the corridor outside the house.

It seemed like someone opened the door and came into the corridor.

The footsteps lingered at Lina's door for a long time before moving away.

"Dad has clearly given all graduate students a holiday, so why are there still people in the dormitory?"

Lina put her ear to the door and listened carefully for a while.

But my mind recalled what the waiter said at the tea restaurant.

"Is this murderer who specializes in killing women targeting me?" Lina's forehead was covered in sweat. "He followed me into the dormitory building?"

"Maybe he's a complete pervert. He enjoys killing for fun, and he killed those crows."

Lina's speculation became more and more outrageous: "Will he kill me like this too?"

"And then watch me flutter on the ground like those crows."

Various bloody scenes appeared alternately in Lina's mind.

Boom boom boom!

Without warning, the door rang.

Lina was originally pressing against the door, and the sudden knock on the door made her ears hurt.

Covering her ears and taking a few steps back, Lina ignored the pain and wondered: Where on earth did this knocking sound come from?!

She clearly remembered that the footsteps went downstairs!

Lina grabbed the fruit knife beside her and shouted outside the door: "Who are you!"

There was still that regular knocking sound outside the house.

Just when Lina was about to collapse, she finally heard a familiar voice outside the house - it was the waiter in the tea restaurant just now.

"Miss, you left something in the restaurant."

Lina breathed a sigh of relief.

She opened the security door a crack and saw that the person standing outside was the waiter.

He handed over a wallet and said with a warm smile: "Here!"

Lina felt around and found that her wallet was indeed missing.

She thanked him and took the wallet. Then she asked timidly, "Did you encounter anything strange on your way up here?"

"Something strange?"

The waiter smiled and said, "I didn't notice that. I just met a strange man on the first floor. He was holding a dead crow in his hand."

Lina's pupils shrank: "And then?"

"Then? He seemed to have run into a room on the first floor. Is he a student from your institute?"

Lina shook her head.

The waiter didn't say anything more. He just said hello and left.

Lina opened the anti-theft lock and stuck her head out to watch the man slowly walking away in the corridor.

He was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt, which made him stand out in the dark corridor.

"Is it really safe now?"

Thinking this, Lina followed the waiter out of the room.

Seeing the man in front of her turn into the corridor, Lina couldn't help but quicken her pace, but when she reached the stairs, she found that the waiter had disappeared!

"Walking so fast?!"

Lina leaned over and looked down, but there was no one in the corridor.

Could it be that he was killed by that weirdo?

buzzing-

The phone rang.

It was Lina's friend Xiuzi who sent the message: "Lina, where are you? Why is there no one at your house?"

Is your phone back to normal?

Lina became happy and started typing, wanting to tell Hideko about what happened today.

"Where are you? I'll come find you, okay?"

Lina's typing fingers paused.

She was already nervous and immediately realized something was wrong. Why did Hideko keep asking me where I was?

"You're at your father's research institute, right? I'm already here."

"I'm already on the first floor, where are you?"

Lina put down her phone and looked towards the corridor. Sure enough, she saw the voice-activated lights on the first floor light up.

but--

"When the waiter came, he already said that the weirdo was on the first floor."

Lina wanted to go into the dormitory: If it was really Hideko down there, why didn’t anything happen to her?

Lina had just taken a few steps when her cell phone rang again.

"Which floor are you on? I'm on the second floor."

The voice-activated lights on the second floor came on.

Lina could almost imagine the perverted smile on the other end of the phone.

"I'm on the third floor!"

“Fourth floor!”

The voice-controlled lights lit up layer by layer, and reached level four almost in the blink of an eye, but strangely, Lina did not hear any footsteps.

Lina hadn't even reached the dormitory yet.

It's too late!

She stared at the stairs with wide eyes, afraid that something would rush out from there in the next second!

Another text message came to my phone.

Lina's breathing was rapid. She glanced at it and saw it was Hideko's text message:

"Behind you."

Lina's scalp exploded.

What was behind her? Only a window to the corridor for ventilation.

The setting sun shines through the window, forming an orange "田"-shaped glow, which hits the wall nearby.

But at some point, a shadow appeared on the light.

It was a person, with his arms and legs spread out like a gecko.

Lina finally broke down and rushed to the corridor like crazy.

In her heart, at this time, her father Hayata Susumu in the laboratory is the only person she can rely on.

Lina ran all the way out of the dormitory. She looked back from time to time and saw a distorted figure staggering behind her.

It was the same figure she had seen in the dense forest just now, with silver and red skin and a slender, ferocious figure.

"What on earth is that?!"

Lina rushed into the research institute.

Without caring about her father's instructions, Lina hurriedly entered the password and rushed in as soon as the sealed door opened a crack.

"dad!"

She screamed, but the sound was quickly silenced by physical force.

Lina looked back and saw that the person who was strangling her neck was the waiter.

"you you......"

Mizoroki made a shushing gesture: "Quiet, don't talk."

He walked into the laboratory, followed by the strange man that Lina had seen.

After a closer look, Lina realized that this weirdo was far more terrifying than she had imagined.

Its chest was slightly cracked, revealing two people wrapped inside.

One of them had silver-red leather skin and a diamond-shaped timer on his chest, while the other was a middle-aged man with a kind face.

They curled up in the monster's belly, their bodies covered with mucus, like babies.

Mizoroki looked at the Protozoan and said, "After consuming the bond power of Beidou, it has evolved."

"It's a pity. Because of X, the First Ancestor has been forced to hide in the Land of Death. It's rare for him to come out, and he's actually feeling playful."

This is also why the ancestor killed the crows and played tricks on Lina.

"It's human nature to like to devour fear, after all."

For Goroki, he was even more amazed at the power of the ancestral monster.

But the more this happened, the more he was impressed by his master's power.

If it wasn't the master, how could such a powerful life form obey his orders?

Bringing the ancestral monster, Goroki walked into the laboratory.

"Hello, Hayata Shin."

The moment Mizoroki came in, Hayata Susumu opened the tempered glass cover of the sterile cabin, took out the silver metal magic wand inside, and held it tightly in his hand.

"Are you the one who always spies on me in the dark?"

Hayata Shin snorted, his old face expressionless. He looked at Lina: "If you want to use my daughter as a threat in exchange for this thing--"

"Then you take it."

Goroki raised his eyebrows and snorted in disdain.

"You're surprisingly decisive." Mizoroki stretched out his hand, and the familiar black windbreaker returned to him. "But I hate this kind of family drama the most."

"is that useful?"

Mizoroki pointed at Hayata Shin and said, "But you should give me the magic wand first."

Hayata Shin said in a deep voice: "You must release my daughter first, and then let us leave this place safely."

His eyes were fixed on the Proto-Beast.

After handing over the magic wand, he had fewer worries, but Hayata Jin didn't think that the alien beast would let him go safely.

"That's quite clever."

Mizoroki's eyes were gloomy.

But I didn't dare push too hard.

He knew that although the people in this world had lost their memories of Ultraman, they could become Ultraman now that they had gained the power of bond.

If you push it too far, it will be difficult to end.

In his impression, the first generation is still very powerful, and the ancestor has only evolved once now, and may not be able to stop Hayata Jin.

So he had no choice but to open the exit and let go of Lina.

Hayata Susumu hugged his daughter tightly, then cautiously held the magic wand and moved towards the door.

At this moment, a loud shout suddenly came from outside: "Uncle, don't trust him!"

Dagu, Meng Yao and others appeared at the door.

Even Moroboshi Tuan and Marina came along.

Hayata Shin only knew Daiko, so he addressed Daiko specifically: "Daiko, what do you mean, do you know this person?"

Meng Yao stepped out from behind Dagu: "Senior, don't be fooled by this guy."

"His target is not the Beta Magic Wand, but you!"

I?

Hayata Jin couldn't help but shudder all over, especially after seeing the two people in the stomach of the Proto-Monster, even his back was covered with goose bumps.

Seeing that his little plan was seen through, Goroki decided not to play along any longer. He spread out his windbreaker and transformed into Dark Mephistopheles.

"Meng Yao, you're such a pushover! How could you come so quickly?"

Meng Yao was not panicked. After all, compared with the last time, he had recovered an Ace Medal.

At least we have the strength to fight.

So he decisively inserted a medal and transformed into Ultraman Ace.

......

Time goes back a few hours.

It turned out that as soon as Dagu left the racing club, Meng Yao discovered his departure.

"Dagu seems to be abnormal."

Axe's voice came from the radio on his waist: "There is unknown radio interference on him."

Meng Yao came to the window and just saw Dagu's figure disappear around the corner of the street below.

He narrowed his eyes and said, "Why is Dagu so reckless? Can't the monsters that have happened in the past few days make him more cautious?"

But this is also Meng Yao's fault.

Because Meng Yao was worried that forcibly instilling memories might cause harm to Dagu's body, he did not tell Dagu many things.

Whether it is the ancestor monster or its identity as Tiga.

This caused Dagu to lose some of his vigilance.

But no one expected that because of these slight negligence, the enemy would target Dagu.

Nan Xizi came to Meng Yao silently.

As a senior, she is always quiet, but beneath her calmness lies a peace of mind that makes people feel at ease.

She often thinks of many problems that Meng Yao cannot think of.

Nan Xizi said: "Don't you think it's strange?"

"This is most likely done by Goromu. He must know that Daigu is with us."

"But even so, he still chose Dagu as his target. What do you think his purpose is?"

Meng Yao thought for a moment, his thoughts flashing like lightning across the night sky: "Could it be... a deliberate attempt to lure the enemy away from their hiding place?"

"Anyway, let's follow him and take a look."

Meng Yao nodded and asked Lopes to go out.

But Moroboshi Tuan also shamelessly followed, and brought his follower Marina with him, who said that she was protecting Moroboshi Tuan.

Meng Yao had no choice but to take a group of people out of the racing club.

Although Dagu has gone far away, he seems to have been in contact with someone via text messages.

It was with the help of the electromagnetic waves from the mobile phone that Aix locked onto Da Gu's location.

Da Gu walked away from the club and was no longer alert to his surroundings. He sent a message to Lina.

But for some reason, the other party never responded.

There was still enough time, so Dagu walked leisurely to Lina's residence.

"Dagu, buy some vegetables when you come over."

Lina received a text message.

Dagu looked a little strange: She said she would invite me to her house, but she didn’t buy any vegetables?

But it was his girlfriend's request after all, so Dagu didn't think much about it and honestly changed his route to a fruit and vegetable supermarket.

"Why did you go to the supermarket suddenly?"

Meng Yao, who was following behind, felt strange.

Marina casually said, "Cooking? Seeing how happy he is, he must be going to his girlfriend's house."
