Across Ultra: Half Dream

Chapter 138 Nexus 1

Chloe's head was still a mess until the next morning when Riko Saita went to wake her up.

"Knock knock knock...Nanxing, Nanxing? Are you up yet?" Lizi asked gently while standing at the door.

"Hey! Get up, get dressed, Sister Lizi, you'll be ready soon."

"Okay, breakfast is ready, come down and eat."

"Okay~" Chloe agreed, covered her face, got up and hurried to wash up. But when she looked in the mirror, she couldn't help but sigh, "It's really good. After becoming Ultraman, I don't have dark circles or anything even if I stay up all night... It feels so good~"

After washing up and having breakfast with Saita Riko, he made an excuse to leave.

"...Where will he be? It's so hard to find him. I must draw some light particles next time we meet, otherwise it will be too difficult to find him..."

Chloe searched the forest where the person might appear, but she didn't find anyone. She covered her face with her hands in pain.

"But what time is it now? Hey... I don't know anything, how can I complete the task?" Chloe became more and more angry as she spoke. She punched the big tree next to her, and the next second, with a bang, the tree fell down.

As soon as the tree fell, Chloe saw the person she had been looking for for a long time not far away. "Speechless... I didn't expect that he was right next to me..."

The person she had been looking for for a long time also saw her and walked towards her vigilantly, holding the Evolution Truster in his hand and ready to hit her.

Chloe saw it and her scalp tingled. She quickly explained, "Wait a minute! I'm not that disgusting alien beast! Don't point your bullets at me!"

After hearing this, the man's vigilance dropped a little, but he was still ready to attack at any time.

"...You don't need to be wary of me. I'm here to help you." Chloe rolled her eyes helplessly. "I'm also an Ultraman."

Hearing Chloe say this, the man looked at her suspiciously and was silent for a moment before speaking, "What evidence do you have?"

"Brother Jun, do you want evidence? Here, does this count?" After saying that, Chloe gathered a ball of white light particles in her hands.

When Himeya Jun saw it, he used the Evolution Truster to feel that it was indeed the power of light, and he completely let down his guard. "Sorry..."

Chloe shook her head in understanding. "It's okay. It's good to be vigilant."

Himeya Jun looked at Chloe with some doubts, "Are you also an adaptogen?"

"No, I'm not a Nexus-compatible person," Chloe explained solemnly, "but I'm also an Ultraman."

Ji Yajun frowned and said, "I've never heard of it..."

"Just because you haven't heard of it doesn't mean it doesn't exist." Chloe interrupted. "To make a long story short, someone asked me to come to this world to help you, so you don't need to doubt me. And when you need help, I will appear."

"…Thanks."

"Well, you're welcome. Jun, if you want to thank me, you'd better wait a while." Chloe said as she walked closer to Himeya Jun and changed back into the image of Ultraman. She released healing energy to Himeya Jun, basically healing his injuries.

Seeing that his injuries were almost healed, Chloe turned back into her human form. "Look, are you feeling better?"

After feeling that his body had basically recovered, Ji Yajun pursed his lips and said, "I don't need you to save me. Just let me keep fighting like this until I die."

Chloe sighed, "Brother Jun, you have to understand that Nexus didn't choose you to repent and atone for your sins. He asked me to tell you that he chose you because of your kindness, justice, and great love."

"..." Himeya Jun had always thought that he was atonement for his sins, and when he suddenly told him that it was because of this, he was a little stunned.

"Don't think too much. What happened to that girl wasn't your fault. Don't put it on yourself. Humanity needs you, and the Earth needs you too."

"..." Himeya Jun still looked dazed, which made Chloe feel even more pity for him.

"This is my contact information. My human identity on Earth is Beidou Nanxing. If you have any problems, you can come to me and I will help you."

Chloe handed Himeya Jun a piece of paper with her phone number on it. She then asked him to take out the Evolution Truster, took some light particles, and said goodbye to Himeya Jun.

After Chloe returned to Saita Riko's house, she sat on the sofa and looked at the furnishings and the pervasive atmosphere. She felt something was wrong, but she couldn't put her finger on it.

Did I forget something? Or did I remember it wrong? …I didn't really watch Nexus' story back then. After all, I didn't understand it and had no interest in it… It's a headache… What did I remember wrong…

Chloe thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so she had to let it go for the time being. She turned around and looked at the sky. Seeing that Saida Riko hadn't returned yet, she suddenly wanted to make a phone call.

I couldn't explain the feeling, the feeling that something would happen if I didn't call. Thinking of this, I quickly made the call.

'Beep...beep...beep...The number you dialed is unanswered. Please call again later...beep...'

"Strange, why is no one answering?" Chloe frowned and called again, but still no one answered. Then she thought about it, and suddenly remembered something, her face darkened, and she stood up suddenly. "Nothing will happen?"

Chloe hurried out to search for Saita Riko's whereabouts. [I have no idea where the plot is now. It gives me a headache... My memories are getting blurry... I can't even remember the most crucial part... I just remember that Riko turned into Faust and died because of Ikki Komon.]

The more she thought about it, the more headache she got. Chloe always felt that her memory was affected by something, and she felt indescribably depressed.

After searching for a long time without finding it, Chloe finally stood at the highest point of the city and looked down at the city in front of her for a while. When she was about to leave, Saita Riko suddenly called.

"Moshimoshi...Nanxing..."

"Sister Lizi, where have you been? I haven't heard from you for a whole day and night. I was scared to death!"

"Ah...I got hurt while on a date with Ikki yesterday and I'm in the hospital. I just woke up and forgot to tell you. I'm so sorry."

"What happened? Are you seriously injured? I'll be right there."

"No need, Nanxing." Saitian Lizi chuckled. "I'm fine. I just had a scratch on my foot and got a few stitches. Don't worry."

Chloe heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that. "That's good. I'll bring some of your favorite food over to keep you company later."

"Really, no need, it's too troublesome..."

Chloe interrupted, "No, I'll be there in a minute. Okay, that's it. Bye." Then she hung up the phone, went to the fruit supermarket to buy some fruits, and went to the hospital.

When I arrived at the hospital, not long after I entered the gate, I saw Saita Riko and Komon Kazuki sitting in the hospital garden and talking.

"Sister Lizi!" Chloe shouted loudly.

Saida Riko turned around and looked at Chloe who was running towards her with amusement, "Slow down, there's no need to be so anxious, I can't run."

Chloe quickly came in front of the two of them and handed the fruit to Ikki Komon. "Here, these are your favorite fruits. How are you? Are you feeling better?"

Saita Riko shook her head gently. "Ah... Thank you so much, Nanxing. I'm much better now, but I'm still not very mobile."

"Yeah, I'm glad you like it, but what happened? Why did you get injured suddenly? How did you take care of Sister Lizi, Ikki?" Chloe put her hands on her hips, with an expression that said, "You're finished."

Ikki Komon was sweating profusely. "I... am not... eh... Smith Marseille..."

"Pfft... Nanxing, stop teasing him." Looking at the interaction between the two, Saita Riko spoke up for Ikki Komon with a smile.

"This was an accident. I don't know why the glass suddenly fell down. Fortunately, Ikki was there, otherwise it would not just be a scratch." Saita Riko covered her chest with lingering fear.

Chloe quickly comforted her, "It's okay, it's okay. It just means that Sister Lizi is blessed with a long life."

Ikki Komon looked at Chloe dejectedly, "...Nanxing, shouldn't you praise me for saving Lizi?"

Chloe rolled her eyes and said perfunctorily, "Yeah, thanks to Ikki."

Saida Riko couldn't hold it back any longer "Hahahaha..."

"Riko..." Ikki Komon looked at Saita Riko with grievance, like an abandoned animal.

"Okay..." Saida Riko turned to look at Ikki Komon and rubbed his hair to comfort him.

Chloe looked at this scene and felt that she hadn't eaten anything, but she was so full. "...Sister Lizi, I'm going to take a walk. You guys chat. I don't want to eat dog food anymore... I'm too full. I don't even need to eat dinner..."

As soon as these words were spoken, both of their faces flushed red and they lowered their heads, not daring to look at each other.

After Chloe walked away, she felt very happy seeing that the atmosphere between the two of them was very good.

But at this moment, they suddenly felt a strange aura coming towards Saita Riko from the other side.

Chloe quickly used her telekinesis to form a shield to block the aura. Then, after the aura disappeared, a person appeared in the direction of the aura that attacked them.

He quickly turned sideways to hide himself, and when he looked closely, he suddenly remembered what he had forgotten. "Goroki Shinya!"

[Wait! So... the plot has already progressed to the point where Lizi is already dead and has become Faust! I'm too late!]

Chloe finally remembered and suddenly panicked. "What should I do? What should I do... How can I save Saita Riko... Life solidification technology is useless on humans... What should I do... Turn her into my human body?... It seems that it is not impossible..."

Chloe shook her head helplessly, "Alas... this is the only way... if we work together, maybe we can save him."

After confirming that Mizoroki Shinya had left, Chloe flashed back to the two of them. While chatting with them, she quietly pulled a ball of light particles from her body, injected it into Saita Riko's body, and guided it to hide in her heart.

And Saita Riko suddenly felt that her body seemed to be much more relaxed and her mental state was better.

After finishing, Chloe breathed a sigh of relief and said to the two with a smile, "Okay, it's getting late, Sister Lizi, you should rest, otherwise your recovery will be very slow."

Seeing Chloe's concern, Riko Saita was very touched. She nodded and agreed, and followed the two back to the ward to rest.

Chloe saw that Saita Riko was resting, so she gave Ikki Komon a few words of advice and left.

But at this time, the Night Raid Team sent an order for Ikki Komon to return to the team.
