Summoned from another world, the hero is Ultraman Zeta.

Stepping into the quiet and solemn room, one can see organs and flesh displayed inside through the window. Staff members are taking samples for analysis and placing them into a magic array, which turns the originally bright red flesh into a strange dark green color.

Haruki and Sean arrived at the guild's research institute to hear the latest research findings on the rioting Triangle Pig. With a curious mind, Haruki was extremely curious before coming about how mages, who rely on magic rather than technology, would study monsters.

After witnessing the collision of mysterious magic and exquisite organs, Haruki clutched the organs on his body and felt a slight throbbing pain.

"Hello, Director, have you figured out the source of the Triangle Pig's magical energy yet?" Sean was already used to what happened in the research institute, and he familiarly stepped forward to communicate with the director.

The Guild Research Institute is not only a place to study monsters, but also to examine and record certain humans with special physical conditions. Sean had dealt with the director before because of the selection of Earth Tamers, so the two of them were not at all reserved when they met this time.

"I heard the details from that old fox. Don't worry, I'll do what I'm supposed to do, and I won't meddle in things that aren't my business." The director, who didn't want to get involved in power struggles, just wanted some peace and quiet, which is why he went to a remote research institute to do his own research and avoid getting entangled with the minister.

He led Sean and Yaohui into his office, where the director had worked through the night to organize the institute’s latest research, recording it all and presenting it here.

"It can be determined that the magic of the Triangle Pig was bestowed by external forces, not generated by its own mutation. The monster's organs clearly show damage not caused by physical attacks. This kind of damage was caused by a creature without magical constitution forcibly using magic. Therefore, I suspect that someone deliberately gave the Triangle Pig magic."

The text on the table provided a detailed explanation of the research findings, along with hand-drawn illustrations of organs to compare normal and abnormal conditions. Yao Hui couldn't help but be amazed by the text, and seeing that there was a whole table of such texts made him even more impressed with the research institute's level of professionalism.

“That’s very strange. If someone can really give magic to monsters, what would their purpose be? There are no human forces around here that are hostile to the Earth Guardian. Director, this doesn’t make sense.”

"The purpose of the riot was not to cause the monsters to riot, but to attract the attention of certain people." Faced with Sean's doubts, the director was not impatient. He walked to the side and took out a report for Sean and Yaohui to see. The report recorded the information about the warehouse theft.

"When the monster rampage occurred, normal people were evacuated, and those who were able to move to the east side of the town. The warehouse in the north of the town was left vulnerable, which was exactly what those who wanted to take over the warehouse wanted."

No one was injured, which means no one noticed the intruder. However, the ore in the warehouse was indeed missing. The quantity of missing ore wasn't large, but the types were numerous, making it impossible to immediately ascertain the intruder's intentions.

The evidence was presented to them unequivocally, but there were no clues about the culprit, causing both Yaohui and Sean to become increasingly tense. This time, their adversary was a hidden force, cautious and cunning; possessing the power to enhance monsters, and having also obtained magical ore, the difficulty and danger of investigating the truth had greatly increased.

"A feint attack, this opponent is no simple matter. They clearly have enough power to enhance the monster, so why would they steal ore from the warehouse so quietly? Could it be that they're using the ore as their magical energy source?"

Haruki stared into thought as he looked at the text in his hand. Not understanding magic, he didn't know the purpose of these ores, so he simply thought of them as fuels like coal.

"Can ore be linked to enhanced monsters? Could the ore produced here be the same type as demon fragments? That shouldn't be the case, since Belial couldn't have ever been to this world."

Zeta was also pondering the doubts. He had seen many things that could enhance monsters, but Zeta couldn't understand how anyone in this world, which was basically isolated from the universe, could have such an ability.

The sound of text being turned and the distant commotion from the inner room suddenly disrupted the tranquility of the research institute. The conflicting desires and misunderstandings surrounding the evidence, the fear and yearning for the truth, stirred a restless energy within everyone, preventing any one from making any rash judgments.

"That's all I can do. Anything else is beyond my capabilities; you'll have to figure it out yourselves." "You're too modest, Director. You've really helped us a lot this time. Thank you so much!"

Haruki bowed to the director to express his gratitude and respect. If the director hadn't informed them of the warehouse theft, Haruki and Zeta might have been ambushed by their enemies next time. Knowing that the enemy was preparing also allowed Haruki and Zeta to prepare themselves mentally in advance.

The director was quite surprised to see the brave man before him. This was very different from the "heroes" he was familiar with, which made the director somewhat happy.

"Your name is Yaohui, right? You managed to subdue the rioting Triangle Pigs while preserving their bodies to the greatest extent possible, which has greatly facilitated our research. I should be thanking you on behalf of the institute."

"You flatter me, Director. I'm just doing what I can do, just like you."

After saying goodbye to the director and leaving the research institute to return to town, Yaohui and Sean figured out the cause of the monster riot, but they didn't know the forces behind the riot. The current situation was still shrouded in mystery, with no direction, and they didn't know if danger was quietly approaching.

A group of figures suddenly rushed out of the woods by the roadside, blocking Yao Hui and Xiao En's way and surrounding them in a nonchalant manner.

"Oh my, hero, you've finally arrived! We've been waiting for you for so long. The hero meet-and-greet is about to begin, and we were just waiting for you!"

"We've been waiting for you! The minister specifically instructed us to make sure you were welcomed! Don't worry, we've arranged everything perfectly."

"Huge numbers of fans have traveled from afar just to see you, Brave One! They are so incredibly enthusiastic!"

"What...what's going on? Stop, stop, stop! Let me calm down!"

Before he had even taken a few steps from the research institute entrance, a large group of men and women surrounded him, offering words of welcome but then completely blocking his path. They spoke lines about caring for him, but in reality, they were making him part of the script. Haruki, who didn't care about fame or fortune at all, was immediately disgusted and angrily told them to leave.

"It's your first time seeing this kind of thing, so it's understandable that you don't understand. Haruki, this is just our usual practice here." "What 'Hero Meet and Greet'? Do they think I and Zeta are some kind of signed idols? Are they going to dock my pay if I don't go?"

He was already worried about the unknown forces, and then suddenly he was bothered by this group of people who were only thinking about marketing. Haruki now wished he had a subspace like Zeta's, so he could go inside and temporarily get rid of all his troubles.

"We have no right to evaluate the hero's performance. We are just following the rules. Please forgive us, hero!"

"It's really no trouble at all, Hero. We've arranged everything. You just need to nod, smile, and greet everyone."

“You can criticize us if you want, but the fans who went through all that trouble to come here are innocent. They are the people you saved, and they have so many words of gratitude to say to you!”

"If you want to express your gratitude for peace, focus your energy on your studies and life, instead of wasting your time begging a stranger to smile at you. I have my own things to take care of today and it's inconvenient for me to participate. Please leave."

Not wanting to deal with people with ill intentions, Haruki bluntly tells them to leave; disgusted by selfish moral blackmail, a restless feeling begins to grow in Haruki's heart.

Despite their efforts, the marketing staff remained persistent and surrounded Yao Hui's path. Finally, Yao Hui activated the Courageous Crystal, unleashing a burst of light that repelled everyone who had surrounded him. By the time they recovered, Yao Hui had already teleported himself and Sean away.

"If I can't afford to mess with them, can't I at least avoid them? A wise man doesn't fight a losing battle. Goodbye."

"Wow, being a hero is really not easy." Zeta still felt a chill down his spine when he recalled being surrounded earlier. If he had been surrounded like that, he definitely wouldn't have been able to escape properly. Zeta now felt that Haruki was really amazing.
