Ultra: Dragon Sword Journey

The next morning, a gentle breeze caressed the earth, and warm sunlight shone through every corner like a golden veil. Zhao Ming returned to TPC headquarters and, without even taking a moment to rest, dashed straight to Director Sawai's office.

After entering the office, Zhao Ming didn't even have time to breathe before immediately reporting to Director Zejing the details of the supernatural events that had occurred in certain areas. Director Zejing listened seriously, nodding his head as Zhao Ming spoke.

After Zhao Ming finished his report, Director Zejing suddenly realized, "I see! I've always been puzzled by these events, but I never thought there was such a truth behind them."

Zhao Ming then further explained, "According to what we have learned so far, in areas where strange events frequently occur, there live a group of demons and monsters with lifespans longer than humans.

The Sukuna demon who appeared before was one of them, but because it was too cruel and brutal, it was eventually destroyed and sealed by Iida Iryu.

However, the remaining monsters, unable to part with their homeland, were unwilling to leave. They resorted to creating all sorts of terrifying and supernatural events to scare humans, attempting to force them to retreat.

At this point, Director Sawai picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and then frowned slightly, lost in a brief moment of thought. After a moment, he looked up at Zhao Ming and asked, "So, according to what you're saying, the rumor about Obik that's been circulating so widely lately is actually a monster?"

"That's right, the lifespan of these monsters is indeed much longer than that of us humans!" Zhao Ming nodded slightly and explained slowly: "With the continuous progress and expansion of human society, the space they originally relied on for survival is gradually being compressed." He sighed softly, seeming to feel a little helpless about this situation.

"Especially in recent years, the development of the times has been as rapid as a rocket. Even a director like me sometimes feels lost." Zejing shook his head with emotion, turning his gaze to Zhao Ming, a mysterious smile on his face. "Since you came to see me today, I guess you have already thought of a good strategy to deal with those long-lived monsters?"

Zhao Ming nodded, a glint of confidence flashing in his eyes. He said, "After careful consideration, I think we can provide the mountainous area around Yanye Street as a habitat for these monsters. This way, they can have enough living space while avoiding excessive conflicts with humans.

Moreover, I met with Obike last night and had an in-depth discussion..." Then, Zhao Ming told Obike everything he discussed with him last night.

Finally, he concluded: "As long as we can successfully deal with Obik, the influential big monster, the other small monsters will naturally be easy to deal with." After saying that, Zhao Ming looked at Sawai quietly, waiting for the other party's response.

Director Zejing sat in his spacious, bright office, listening to Zhao Ming's detailed report with a serious expression. When he heard the last part, he slowly leaned back in his chair, his eyes slightly closed, as if he was thinking something over and over in his mind.

After a moment, Director Sawai opened his eyes, his gaze deep and resolute. Though facing a species completely different from humans, he understood the importance of peaceful coexistence. This philosophy resonated precisely with his original motivation for founding TPC.

"I can agree to their request..." Director Sawai said each word in a steady and powerful voice. "I will mobilize all resources and do my best to provide assistance. As for the existence of monsters in Hikino Street, the news must be strictly suppressed and no panic must be caused.

At the same time, we must ensure that these monsters are effectively restrained and absolutely not allowed to harm any innocent human life! "After saying this, Director Sawai made the decision without hesitation, indicating that he had made the decision.

Zhao Ming couldn't help but admire the director's decisiveness. He nodded quickly and said, "Please rest assured, I've done sufficient research and preparation. In the past, even slightly more ferocious monsters were already eradicated by powerful beings like Jingtian Jinglong."

"Most of the monsters remaining in Hikino Street are relatively mild-mannered. Furthermore, if any individual monster dares to cause trouble, there's no need for our Victory Team to intervene; Obik alone can easily eliminate them!" Zhao Ming said with a confident smile.

Then he began to talk about the specific details of what he discussed with Obik yesterday.

"In that case, I'll leave this matter entirely to you!" The monsters' simple desires are like a gurgling stream, flowing with their eager hearts; their gentle personalities are just like the warm spring sun, warm and pleasant.

If all monsters were like this, harboring such simple thoughts and coexisting peacefully with humans, how wonderful it would be! Director Sawai smiled and looked at Zhao Ming like a kind father.

"I understand!" Zhao Ming responded without hesitation.

"Take a look at this first!" Director Sawai said solemnly, his words carrying the heavy echoes of the past. He slowly raised his hand and gently handed a document to Zhao Ming.

Zhao Ming was startled for a moment, his eyes then falling on the document. When he saw the title, he was shocked—this was the resolution adopted by the TPC (Terrestrial Peace Coalition) senior staff meeting!

Recalling his first encounter with the Lightning Man, Zhao Ming had predicted that conflict between humanity and the mysterious Lightning Man would inevitably erupt one day. Now, this terrifying prophecy had become a reality.

Zhao Ming took a deep breath, gathered himself, and reached out to take the document, beginning to read it carefully. As each line of text came into view, his expression grew increasingly serious.

This plan details how TPC will use its immense firepower to launch a large-scale attack on the Lightning People groups distributed in the ionosphere around the world, attempting to wipe them out in one fell swoop.

Director Sawai, standing nearby, could barely conceal a glint of fatigue in his eyes. Recently, those ghostly lightning-like clouds had once again descended from the sky like dense raindrops, posing a serious threat to airliner safety.

Problems like electromagnetic interference caused by humans are like an endless, exhausting tug-of-war. In this battle between humans and lightning men, one side is bound to be completely defeated and fade away from the stage of history!

Faced with such a dire situation, the plan to launch an all-out war against the Lightning Man was imminent and had to be launched. However, as a staunch pacifist, Zejing was reluctant to take the initiative to provoke such a bloody and cruel war.

However, the current situation made him realize that this was an irreconcilable and sharp contradiction, and he had to make a difficult decision no matter what...

"Since it is destined that humans and lightning people cannot coexist, we might as well make up our minds and solve it in our generation. We cannot pass the problem to future generations, otherwise it will surely cause endless disasters!" Zhao Ming said with a firm face.

Director Sawai was silent for a long time, then slowly spoke, "But if war breaks out, countless lives will be lost, both human and Lightning." He sighed, "We know that weapons are dangerous tools, and sages only use them when they have no other choice. Well, go ahead!"

After Zhao Ming left the director's office, he walked all the way to the outside of the command room. His powerful hearing could hear Jujing Xincheng discussing something about Obike. Hehehe... Another surprise.

"What kind of creature is that Obik?" Xincheng asked with curious eyes blinking.

"I don't know, maybe it's a monster! My grandma once told me that if you hear the voice of Obik, you must never look back." Jujing said as he recalled the horror stories his grandma told him when he was a child.

"Why?" Lina asked like a curious baby.

"Because it will eat you!" Jujing deliberately pretended to have a scary expression to scare Lina.

"Ah! We will be eaten!" Lina, Dagu and Jujing all screamed in fright, especially Xincheng, who screamed the loudest.

"Come and play, play with Obik!" Suddenly, a strange voice came from the command room.

"This, this...could it be that Obik is coming?" Xincheng stuttered and said tremblingly as he approached the dug well.

"No way! I remember that Obik is afraid of the sun?" Jujing was also scared like a frightened quail, curling up his body tightly, as if it would be safer this way.

"Could it be that Zhao Ming is causing trouble again?" Lina guessed.

"Hmph! I wouldn't bother doing something so childish!" Zhao Ming walked into the command room with his arms folded and a look of disdain on his face. Seeing it was him, everyone breathed a sigh of relief but also glared at him furiously.

"Why do you always scare us, Zhao Ming?" Dagu said with a frown.

"Who made you so timid? You only know how to talk about weird things." Zhao Ming responded with a pout.

At this moment, the lights suddenly flickered, and the command room, which had been bright just a moment ago, suddenly became dim. The atmosphere, which had been just a joke and playfulness, suddenly became tense and solemn.

"Hey, it wasn't me who did it this time!" Zhao Ming was also a little panicked, and his eyes scanned the surroundings vigilantly.

A strange laugh could be heard faintly in the darkness. The sound seemed to come from an endless abyss, making people shudder.

"Is it really Obik? But it's daytime now!" Lina tightly grasped Dagu's arm. Everyone involuntarily huddled together, ready to deal with the upcoming unknown danger.

Suddenly, a chilling black shadow descended silently like a ghost. It was larger than one could imagine, like a towering black mountain, quickly enveloping the entire command room, instantly swallowing up all the light inside and creating a terrifying atmosphere like the arrival of doomsday.

The shadowy figure slowly opened its massive mouth, capable of swallowing up the heavens and earth. Rows of razor-sharp, gleaming teeth were exposed, as ferocious and terrifying as the fangs of a demon from hell. Its cold, evil gaze fixed on everyone present, sending shivers down their spines.

"Oh my god! Don't eat me! Captain, help me!" Xincheng was terrified by the sudden horror and was the first to scream. He was seen frantically waving something in his hands, trying to resist the impending disaster, but it was obviously a futile move.

At the same time, Dijing and Dagu were also terrified by the horrific scene before them, their faces pale and their bodies trembling. The two subconsciously hugged each other tightly, each able to feel the other's violently beating heart and rapid breathing.

Just as the huge black shadow had opened its bloody mouth and was about to swallow them in one gulp, at the critical moment, there was a crisp "pop" sound and Zhao Ming lightly snapped his fingers.

In an instant, a miracle happened - the huge black shadow that was originally ferocious and ferocious disappeared without a trace like smoke, as if it had never appeared.

"Huh..." Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and their hearts finally settled down.

At this time, Zhao Ming smiled and said to the shocked Victory Team members: "Let me introduce my new friend to everyone!

It is Senior Shadow, the one you all call Obik! "As Zhao Ming finished speaking, the thrilling scene just now turned into a false alarm in the blink of an eye.

"Obik?" The captain and Zongfang looked at the black shadow in front of them in confusion and slowly let down their guard.

"Yes, captain. In fact, Obik is not as evil as we imagined. He is just a little lonely and likes to play pranks." Zhao Ming explained with a smile.

Obik's shadow made a sound, like a child's voice. "Haha, did I scare you?" it laughed.

"Why are you trying to scare us by pretending to be a ghost?" Lina asked dissatisfiedly.

"I've been in this world for too long, and I haven't been this happy in a long time." Obik's shadow said in a childish voice.

"Then you are not allowed to scare people like this again in the future." Dagu said seriously.

"Okay, okay. You guys have no sense of humor. Zhao Ming is more interesting!" Obik waved his hand and said.

"However, since you are Zhao Ming's friend, can you help us when we encounter danger?" Jujing asked tentatively.

"Of course! As long as they are not those particularly powerful guys, I can still help." Obik's shadow patted his chest and promised.

Everyone smiled at each other, and the atmosphere in the command room became relaxed again. The previous fear had long since disappeared.

"Captain, I have reported the whole story of the Obik incident to the director truthfully." Zhao Ming reported Director Sawai's decision to Iruma Kei in detail.

From now on, the mountainous area of ​​Yanye Street will become a paradise for these monsters. If any strange incidents spread like wildfire, or if innocent people are harmed, Zhao Ming will naturally find Obik and let him clean up the mess.

Hearing that the matter had been resolved so perfectly, the captain's heart finally settled. This undoubtedly saved the Victory Team a lot of trouble, after all, a thorough investigation from the beginning would have taken a considerable amount of time.

Fortunately, this incident ended successfully. There were no victims in this incident, which is a blessing in disguise!
