Ultra: Dragon Sword Journey

The Chief of Staff of the Police Bureau, Zong Fang, was sitting busy at his desk. When he saw Zhao Ming suddenly appear, he just raised his eyes slightly, and a look of familiarity flashed in his eyes, "You are finally here." Zong Fang stood up and straightened his uniform.

Zhao Ming smiled and said, "I still prefer to be a hands-off boss and fight on the front lines. It seems that letting you be my deputy is really the best decision I have ever made."

"You guy, I really don't know how to evaluate you!" Zong Fang shook his head helplessly, with a bitter smile on the corner of his mouth. Since he took office as the chief of staff of the police bureau, unless there was an earth-shaking event, it was almost impossible to see Zhao Ming.

The two walked side by side, like two shooting stars, rushing towards the conference room.

Along the way, the TPC staff around me were like busy bees, some rushing past with documents in their arms, while others were analyzing something in front of the computer screen with fascination.

They arrived at the door of the conference room, and Zongfang, like an elegant gentleman, reached out and gently pushed open the door that symbolized power and responsibility.

In the conference room, the huge screen is like a magic mirror shining with wisdom, and all kinds of data and images jump on it like elves.

Chief of Staff of the TPC Operations Department Seiji Miyata, who replaced Chief of Staff Minamihara, Chief of Staff Irima Kei's boss Shiina Saeko, and Captain of the Super Victory Team Kihi Gosuke had already arrived. They sat around the octagonal conference table like a group of serious judges, with solemn expressions, as if the fate of the entire universe was in their hands.

Seeing Zhao Ming and Zong Fang come in, everyone's eyes were cast on them like spotlights. This was the first meeting between the heads of several key departments after the reorganization of TPC's important institutions.

"Newly appointed Police Chief Zhao Ming, it's really rare to see you since we took over the position of our predecessor!" Staff Officer Miyata walked over with a brisk pace, half-jokingly extending his hand, like a warm host welcoming a distinguished guest from afar.

Zhao Ming treated him politely, extending his hand and shaking his tightly, laughing, "Haha... I'm like a free-spirited crane, naturally active, and I really can't sit still in this office. So, I can only drag Chief of Staff Zong Fang to be my scapegoat!"

"Staff Officer Iruma Kei often praises you, the mysterious consultant of the Science and Technology Bureau, to us, saying that your strength alone is enough to match most of TPC's military forces!" Staff Officer Shiina was not to be outdone, and followed closely behind, greeting him.

Zhao Ming, in a cheerful and cheerful tone, half-jokingly responded, "You're too kind, Chief of Staff. If it weren't for Mr. Ji Gang's insightful eye in selecting me as a general, I'd probably still be working in the Science and Technology Bureau, taking over the duties of my old boss, Dr. Jiancun, and burying myself in scientific research."

Of course, researching and manufacturing indestructible weapons is one of my strengths, but as a free-spirited person, I prefer to shine in a frontline team like the Police Department.

"During yesterday's emergency, our coordination with the Super Victory Team was absolutely flawless!" He looked at Kibi Kosuke standing beside him, his lips curled up slightly, revealing a hint of a smile.

Xibi Gangzhu touched his head and said with a smile: "Yes, it all depends on your help." If it weren't for the Black Storm Team of the Police Bureau who came to their aid yesterday, they would probably have lost face long ago!

At this moment, Director Fukami strode in, and the conference room fell silent. A meeting about the newly emerged Sphia life form was about to begin.

At this time, videos and photos of the newly taken Sphia sphere at the lunar base were playing on the big screen.

Director Fukami glanced at everyone with a sharp gaze, then said solemnly, "These spheres were also responsible for the attack on the Martian base this time. It seems likely that some alien force or life form is stirring up trouble in secret, and their target is directly targeting humans who have left their home planet and entered new territories. Does the Intelligence Bureau have more detailed information?"

"The liquid-like spheres were code-named Sphia after in-depth research by the Research Bureau. There must be a reason why these mysterious objects suddenly appeared before our eyes!" Staff Officer Shiina reported the summarized information in detail.

Director Fukami frowned and said, "Both the Moon and Mars are key bases for humanity's New Frontier Project!"

"As for the previous monster, we can infer it from the wreckage. I think the monster that appeared on Mars must also have Sphia's life form hidden in its body." Staff Officer Miyata said calmly.

"The existence of the enemy may completely overturn our previous understanding of cosmic life forms." Staff Officer Shiina continued with a serious face. The cosmic life forms that TPC had encountered in the past were all individuals and spiritual entities, and this kind of spherical life that can possess any form and control them to transform into monsters has never appeared before.

"Captain Xibi, you have had close combat experience with Sphia. What do you think?" Director Fukami continued to ask after a brief pause.

After a moment's thought, Kibi Kosuke said, "At this point, we know nothing about the origins of these spheres. They may be dissatisfied with humanity's glorious achievements, and judging by their actions, their goal is clearly to bring our development to a screeching halt."

"If exploring the universe is regarded as a huge cake, then any life form would like to get a bigger share. Therefore, they are unwilling to let new comers have a share. The existence of Sphia must be an attempt to slow down our human pace towards the universe!" Zhao Ming described it vividly.

"Director, my opinion is exactly the same as Zhao Ming's. The existence of Sfia attempts to stop the development of our human race in this way and make it lose its threat, but we humans will never stand still!" Zong Fang continued to follow the topic.

Director Fukami concluded, "At this point, our understanding of the Sphia lifeforms is still limited, but we must be prepared and take precautions."

Zong Fang made a prompt decision: "Then let's strengthen patrols and alerts in various areas!" Everyone nodded in agreement.

Zhao Ming pondered for a moment and said, "The Police Department's new fighter, the Phantom, can effectively deal with the threat of the Sphia Synthetic Beast. In addition, I have also developed several powerful weapons."

Director Fukami nodded in agreement. "I'll leave this matter to the Super Victory Team and the Police Department. Everyone else, please take your positions and ensure the safety of Earth and the New Domain Project."

After the meeting concluded successfully, Munakata returned to the police station to continue his life as a workhorse. Zhao Ming and Kibi Gosuke chatted and laughed as they arrived at the Super Victory Team's command room.

The Super Victory Team's command room was initially bustling with activity, like a classroom after the teacher's evening study session. Numerous team members were engaged in heated debates over the previous day's battle with the Sphia Synthemon, each expressing their own opinions. Opinions, analyses, and speculations mingled like a tangled web, each voice rising higher and higher.

At this moment, the door of the command room was slowly pushed open by an invisible hand, and Zhao Ming and Xibi Gangzhu stepped into this originally noisy world like two dazzling stars.

Everyone's gaze, as if drawn by a magnet, instantly converged on them. The originally bustling scene, like a market, suddenly became utterly silent, as if under a spell, a silence so profound that even time seemed to freeze.

"Captain, sir!" Many team members saluted in unison. The excitement on their faces had not yet completely receded like a tide, but they all closed their mouths at the same time. The only sound left in the room was a slight breathing sound, like a breeze blowing across the strings of a guitar.

Zhao Ming looked calm and steady, like a towering mountain. His eyes slowly swept over everyone, and wherever he looked, the air seemed to become quiet and solemn.

Kibi Gosuke, with a gentle smile like a spring breeze, nodded slightly to everyone. In front of these two important figures, the team members felt a sense of awe, as if they were facing a sacred temple.

They were arguing and chattering just now, but now they seemed to be under a spell, as quiet as sleeping sculptures, waiting for Zhao Ming and Xibi Gangzhu to speak.

The quiet command room was filled with an atmosphere of tension and anticipation, as if a major performance was about to begin. Everyone secretly held their breath, their emotions like a taut bowstring...
