Across Ultra: Half Dream

Chapter 140 Nexus 3

Chloe turned to look at Saita Riko who was in a daze in the observation room and asked in a deep voice, "What's happening with Sister Riko now?"

"Lizi... doesn't remember anything."

"Don't remember? Where was she found?"

"Found near the battle site between Nexus and Xenomorph."

"Why would she go there?" Chloe frowned and recalled the scene she saw last night, with a bad feeling in her heart.

Ikki Komon shook his head, his face full of confusion.

"Sure enough..." Chloe was now certain that the Faust last night was Saita Riko.

"What?" Ikki Komon asked in confusion.

"Nothing, Ikki-san, I'll just walk with Sister Lizi." Chloe walked into the ward. "Your Night Raid Team is so busy, you should go and do your work. Sister Lizi has me."

"Please, Nanxing." Ikki Komon pursed his lips, nodded slowly and left.

Entering the ward, Chloe placed the fruit she brought on the table and said, "Sister Lizi, I'm here to see you."

"Ah, Nanxing." Lizi turned her head to look at Chloe, smiled and nodded.

"What's wrong, Sister Lizi?" Chloe asked with concern with a smile on her face.

Saida Riko opened her mouth, lowered her head, and replied in an inaudible voice, "...It's okay."

Seeing Saita Riko so depressed, her eyes rolled around and she said pitifully, "Sister Riko, let's go out for a walk. It's so stuffy here. I feel like I'm going to the hospital any second."

Looking at Chloe's funny performance, Saita Riko burst out laughing. "Pfft...Okay, then let's go for a walk in the garden?"

"Great, great! Take this fruit with you. It can quench your thirst if you get thirsty."

"Okay." Saita Riko smiled gently, stood up and put on a coat.

The two of them left the ward arm in arm, talking and laughing as they headed towards the garden.

After walking around for a while, seeing that Saita Riko was in a much better mood, Chloe asked tentatively, "Let's sit for a while, Sister Riko."

"it is good."

After sitting down, Chloe handed the peeled orange to Saida Riko, "Here, try this, it's very sweet, Sister Riko."

"Okay, thank you Nanxing." Saitian Lizi tasted it and said in amazement, "Hmm~ So sweet."

Chloe shook her head happily, "Hey, this is the fruit I picked specially. I searched many stores for it."

Saida Riko looked at the cute Chloe and her expression softened unconsciously. "Thank you so much, Nanxing. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to eat such delicious oranges."

Chloe chuckled twice and placed the peeled oranges in front of Saida Riko, which made Saida Riko feel very soft-hearted.

After eating for a while, Chloe saw that the time had come and was about to ask, but Saita Riko spoke first.

"They... asked me a lot of questions, but..." Saida Riko looked down at the orange in her hand and said in a low voice, "I don't remember anything after we separated..."

"Why... am I in that place?" Saida Riko sighed with a puzzled look on her face, and then said in a trembling voice, "Nanxing, I... I'm so scared..."

After hearing this, Chloe quickly hugged Saida Riko and comforted her, "It's okay, Sister Riko, don't worry, we are here, we are all here."

Chloe patted Saita Riko's back gently, a hint of murderous intent flashing in her eyes, and said gently, "Don't be afraid, I will protect you."

Saida Riko buried her head in the crook of Chloe's neck, her eyes moist. "Thank you, Nanxing... Although I don't know why, Nanxing, you are very warm, and suddenly I feel very safe..."

Chloe didn't say anything and just quietly accompanied Saida Riko, which made Saida Riko feel much more at ease.

The two then chatted for a long time in the garden, and finally, because Saita Riko's injury had not healed yet, Chloe sent her back to the ward to rest.

"Ah... Nanxing, I'm really much better now. There's no need to be so nervous." Saida Riko looked at the nagging Chloe with a helpless smile on her face, but she felt warm in her heart.

Chloe put her hands on her hips and said with an exaggerated expression, "Sister Lizi, you are still injured. Brother Yihui asked me to take good care of you. If..."

When Saida Riko heard that Ikki Komon cared about her so much, her face flushed. "I, I will take good care of myself, Nanxing."

"Yeah! Go back to sleep soon. They say that humans will recover faster if they get more rest when they are injured." Chloe looked at Saita Riko with an expression that said you should have done this a long time ago, which made Saita Riko laugh and cry, and she lay down obediently.

Watching Saita Riko gradually fall asleep, Chloe changed back into Ultraman, separated a ball of light particles from the timer and merged it into her body and heart.

After it was done, there was a flash of light and it returned to its human form, but its face was a little pale.

Watching her light particles slowly begin to restore life to Saita Riko's dead body, Chloe nodded in satisfaction.

[It seems this method is effective. This time, Saida Riko won't die completely. My light particles are constantly activating her body. Besides reaching the end of her lifespan, she can't die.]

"If we do that then, we'll be able to completely save Saita Riko. But that small price isn't a problem, nowadays."

[For what happens next, just follow the normal development of the plot. I don't need to interfere too much.]

Chloe got up and sat on the sofa beside her, and began to close her eyes and rest.

Meanwhile, the Night Raid team is still worried about the disappearance of the alien beasts...

Wasakura Eisuke looked at the video with a puzzled look on his face, "Can't it be eliminated?"

Ishihori Mitsuhiko stood up and looked at everyone, explaining, "The large amount of pollen contained in the alien beast will definitely spread."

Hiraki Shiori asked in disbelief, "Is the pollen released from this guy's body so dangerous? Is it flammable?"

"The dangers don't stop there." Seeing everyone's puzzled expressions, Ishihori Mitsuhiko reluctantly continued to explain, "When people come into contact with this pollen, it instantly vaporizes and emits extremely high heat."

As he spoke, Ishihori Mitsuhiko showed everyone the results of his research. "The result is just like this."

"If the pollen is blown away by the wind..." Ikki Komon looked at the scene in front of him with a somewhat grim expression.

Ishihori Mitsuhiko sighed and continued, "Its density is the same as hydrogen. If you consider its diffusion rate, the damage range will be very wide!"

After hearing this, the atmosphere in the Night Raid Team suddenly became very solemn.

"It seems that we can only rely on the power of the Ultra Warriors." Suddenly, Kirasawa Yu appeared and broke the silent atmosphere.

Hearing this, Wasakura Eisuke suddenly remembered what Kirasawa Yu had said before and asked, "In other words, we will combine the Assault Chester and destroy it in Meta's territory?"

"Yes!" Kirasawa Yu smiled and nodded in affirmation.

Nishijo Feng suddenly said, "But last time, it was the attack of the Ultra Warriors that prevented the formation from merging!"

Ishihori Mitsuhiko frowned and confirmed his conclusion. "This is the result of the residual energy analysis. There is no mistake."

Ikki Komon interrupted, "Maybe it was just a coincidence!"

Nishijo Fuu disagreed, "Even so! That guy might not show up at the right time!"

"No, he will definitely come!" Ikki Komon looked at Fuu Saito with a firm look in his eyes. "Ultra Warriors are our human companions!"

"What is the basis for your judgment?!" Xijo Feng stood up dissatisfied and looked seriously at the person who had been refuting him.

Ikki Komon loudly affirmed, "I firmly believe that this is the case!"

Nishijo Fuu continued to refute, "Do you think this can be used as a basis for judgment?!"

Seeing the two arguing more and more fiercely, Kazukura Eisuke finally stood up to interrupt and said to Nishijo Fuu, "Fu, you will be responsible for the control of the fusion in the next operation."

"Yes!"

"Koumon." Then he turned to look at Koumon Ikki and continued, "You will be the attacker."

When Ikki Komon heard this, he looked at the captain in disbelief, "Eh? Me?" The others also looked at Eisuke Wakura with the same expression as Ikki Komon.

He ignored the others and turned to look at Kirasawa Yu and asked, "Team Komon has experience entering Meta's territory. Is that okay?"

Kiraraze Yu chuckled, "No problem."

After receiving the affirmation, Hekura Eisuke looked at his team members and said, "The last failure was due to an unexpected event. I trust you again. Do what you should do. If you can't do it, leave the Night Raid Team."

Ikki Komon felt a little defeated and could only nod and agree "Yes!"

Hospital…

After an afternoon of sleep, Saita Riko suddenly woke up, sat up abruptly with a dull look in her eyes, which scared Chloe.

"What's wrong? Sister Lizi?"

"I... I... had a nightmare..." Saita Riko suddenly curled up, hugged her arms, and buried her head in her arms.

Chloe quickly comforted her, "It's okay, it's okay, I'm here, Sister Lizi."

After Chloe's careful comfort, Saita Riko finally calmed down. Her tone was very trembling, and one could feel her fear and confusion.

"Nanxing... I... can't remember the scene when I first met Gu Men... How could this happen... What's wrong with me?!"

"It's okay, Sister Lizi. It's probably post-traumatic stress disorder from those two shocks. You'll remember it after a while."

Saida Riko raised her head, her eyes filled with anxiety and anticipation. "Really?"

Chloe nodded vigorously, "Of course it's true. I can't lie to anyone but Sister Lizi."

Hearing this, Saida Riko lowered her head again and tightly grasped the sheets in her hands.

Chloe sighed and said with a smile, "Sister Lizi, why think so much? Humans are fragile, and this can be recovered. Don't think too much."

"Yeah." Saida Riko raised her head and smiled faintly. "Nanxing, I'm a little hungry. Can you get me something to eat?"

"Okay." Chloe breathed a sigh of relief and asked with a smile, "Are the previous ones okay?"

Saita Riko nodded and said, "Sure, thank you, Nanxing."

"It's okay, I'll be back soon. Sister Lizi, you can rest for a while."

"it is good."

But the moment Chloe left, Saita Riko started to feel strange again, as if she had turned into a soulless puppet.
