Moonlight team, are you awake?

Just before I left, I dreamt that Mitsuko changed into a beautiful outfit that she only wore when going out, so I joked, "Are you dressed so nicely to go on a blind date?"

"Hmph, I'm not telling you." Guangzi slipped away from him in a flash and darted into the street.

I was a little confused when I turned around and saw Jete coming out of the kitchen with breakfast in her hand. So I turned to her and asked, "Do you know what Mitsuko went to do?"

Jete shook her head blankly: "I don't know, she just said she was going out for a bit and would be back for breakfast soon."

"Huh?" I dreamt I turned to look at the street, but Photon was nowhere to be seen. "Could it be some kind of festival on Planet Gaci today?"

“I don’t know much about the customs of Gaci Star.” Jete looked confused again, then took out a takeout box from the cupboard: “I dream, are you going to work? If you don’t have time to eat breakfast at home, take some with you. I made your favorite scallion pancakes and multigrain porridge. As for the sandwich that Guangzi likes, we can heat it up in the microwave when she gets back.”

"Thanks." I took the takeout box from Jete and went to work at the defense base after a long absence.

Strictly speaking, Meng has come quite a few times during this period. For example, he came once a few days ago when we were fighting the Three Emperors. However, due to his busy schedule, even though it has only been two or three days since he last came, it feels like a lifetime has passed.

As soon as I stepped into the command room, I saw Horii hunched over the computer, his eyes wide as he fiddled with something.

Seeing how focused he was, I deliberately made a small noise to attract his attention before greeting him, so as not to startle him: "Horui, what are you studying that's so focused on?"

Horii looked up at Imu and said, "Since early this morning, the magnetic field in several areas has been a bit strange. I'm starting to suspect that someone is conducting some kind of illegal experiment."

"Huh? An abnormal magnetic field?" I suddenly had a bad feeling. "What kind of abnormal magnetic field? Could it be that the magnetic field strength is as high as 50,000 Oersted?"

"Just kidding, 50,000 Oersted is too exaggerated." Horii waved his hand: "If the magnetic field reaches 50,000 Oersted, the electronic equipment over there will probably be scrapped."

"Oh, as long as it doesn't reach 50,000 Ottos, it's fine." I breathed a sigh of relief: "It's probably true that someone is doing some crazy experiment. These kinds of things aren't uncommon these days."

These days, amateur scientists often try to make weapons in their small labs, attempting to develop world-saving weapons in their workshops, but they rarely succeed.

The government has repeatedly emphasized that you should not conduct experiments in private. If you have any good ideas, please report them to the government, and the government will find a way to conduct experiments to verify the results.

But this still couldn't stop someone from suddenly bursting out with some incredible wisdom, and then, unable to wait in line, secretly conducting their own experiments.

Even with the regulation of many dangerous materials that could potentially explode, it's still the same. There was even a case where someone used materials from a bunch of broken household appliances to create an electromagnetic cannon. It's hard to imagine how that person managed to do it.

Buzz-buzz-

Just as I was lost in thought, a strange notification sound came from the computer, followed by Horii's exclamation: "Holy crap, it really has reached 50,000 Auster!"

"What?!" The special number of 50,000 Auster made me dream of a special guy—the other-dimensional demon god Enomina.

This thing is one of the monsters that left a deep impression on me. It can emit a violent purple electromagnetic wave as soon as it appears. As long as you are within the range of the electromagnetic wave, everyone will go crazy and attack anything that moves around them indiscriminately. Even Ultraman will be affected. The only solution is to use the corresponding magnetic field of Durban to counteract it, or to cut off the horns on Enomei's shoulders before being affected.

Seeing the familiar distorted magnetic field shape on the screen, I became even more certain that the enemy this time must be Aenemena.

"Horii, get ready to send a message to everyone, a monster might be appearing." Imu patted Hori on the shoulder.

After a series of battles yesterday, everyone, including the captain, was on duty until the early hours of the morning before they dared to rest. It's only morning now, and everyone has to get up and work overtime before they're even fully awake.

"Give me the coordinates, I'll go to the scene first." Imu decided to strike first. Enermina has the ability to teleport to another dimension. Every time the defense team appears, it will teleport away. But now that Imu has obtained some of Tiga's abilities, he can also use Tiga's projectile beam. As long as he has this move, he can prevent Enermina from escaping quickly.

“It seems too late.” Horii looked at the numbers displayed on the screen: “The magnetic field reaction has disappeared.”

"They ran away so quickly?"

Neither of them doubted the possibility of a monster appearing at the scene, because the number of 50,000 Austers was unlikely to be caused by human activity alone. Moreover, people in this world had developed a fixed mindset—abnormal phenomena = the appearance of monsters. Therefore, when I dreamt that the 50,000 Austers was a phenomenon caused by a monster, Horii did not doubt it, because it was a normal judgment.

A few minutes later, the defense team received a message confirming that a monster had indeed appeared at the scene, but it only lasted for a very short time, disappearing in less than a minute.

The news from the scene confirmed to me that the other party was indeed Ainemena, because a large number of violent incidents did occur in the area during that minute, and many people were rushed to the hospital.

"Running so fast." I felt a little regretful. If Ai Nengmei had run away a little later, I could have found an opportunity to teleport to the scene. As long as I could get there, Ai Nengmei would have no way to escape.

Horii could only shrug helplessly, then began to summarize his experience: "Now that we've confirmed that the magnetic field anomaly was caused by the monster, we just need to keep a close eye on the changes in the magnetic field in various places. Once the magnetic field becomes abnormal, we should be prepared to go to the scene to fight."

At this moment, the defense team members, who had just been woken up by the emergency notice, walked in one by one with bloodshot eyes.

"I knew it, it's hard to get a full night's sleep." Shinjo scratched his head vigorously, as if doing so would make him more awake.

"It's already good enough that I have time to sleep for a while." Gou Lumu, with dark circles under his eyes, was very calm.

"What is the situation regarding casualties at the scene?" Megumi Kijima was first concerned about the safety of the people at the scene.

Horii, who was in charge of receiving the data, reported: "The casualties are still being tallied, but because the time was very short, most people have suffered minor to moderate injuries."

Megumi frowned slightly: "That's quite serious. So many people are injured. It must be beyond the capacity of the local hospitals. Has the medical support team from headquarters been dispatched?"

"We set off for the scene a minute ago."

"That's good. I estimate that the medical support team will arrive after the on-site treatment is completed." Megumi nodded. The medical support team of the defense force departs from various branches by special plane and can basically arrive at any disaster site within 10 minutes to ensure that the best rescue time is not missed as much as possible.

"Horii, could you investigate whether any other unusual magnetic fields were present at the scene?" Imu suddenly suggested.

Captain Megumi seemed very interested in my dream's suggestion: "My dream team member, what are your thoughts?"

“In the past, monsters would cause destruction wherever they appeared, but this monster quickly left the scene. I suspect there might be something there that attracted it?”

Of course, what I dreamed of was just a pretext. He guessed that since Aynorne had appeared, Durban might also exist. If Durban did exist, then as long as Durban was found, we would know where Aynorne had appeared.

Just then, the phone rang in the command room. Vice Captain Saijo Nagi picked up the phone, then turned to look at Gamu: "Gamu, it's for you."

"Looking for me?"

"Yes, it was a young girl. She said she had something very important to say and asked me to transfer you to her."

Without much thought, I stepped forward to answer the phone. A few seconds later, everyone saw his expression suddenly change, and the air in the conference room seemed to become heavier.

Chapter 178 Photon's Love

On the streets in the early morning, Mitsuko strolled with light steps, but her heart was pounding with nervousness.

A few days ago, while she was at the defense force base, she was looking through the defense force's information. When she was looking at the members' details page, she suddenly discovered that even the members' dates of birth were recorded.

She immediately flipped to the section about my dream and found that my dream's birthday was just a few days away, while that idiot seemed to have completely forgotten that his own birthday was coming up.

Photon was thrilled to discover this little secret for the first time, because it seemed that no one else had noticed it.

She couldn't wait to see the look of bewilderment, surprise, and delight on his face when she suddenly appeared before him with her birthday present.

Hmph, even Jet wouldn't know about this, would she?

Even more fortunately, on my dream's birthday, the monsters actually didn't show up, and my dream happened to have some free time, which gave her a perfect opportunity to get rid of my dream and secretly go out to buy a present.

She stepped into an exquisite gift shop, its displays dazzling her. The lighting was soft, the walls were adorned with beautiful gifts, and a subtle fragrance permeated the air. She stood hesitantly before the display cases, trying to choose a gift that best expressed her feelings.

Just then, a gentle saleswoman approached. She was an older woman with a kind smile in her eyes.

"Hello, how can I help you?" the salesperson asked with a smile.

Mitsuko blushed slightly and said softly, "I want to buy a birthday present for someone special. I've always been grateful for his care. He's done so much for me... for so many people, and he even forgot his own birthday. I hope to find a gift that will make him happy."

The saleswoman's eyes softened: "He seems very important to you. Is he your boyfriend?"

"Not yet..." Photon chuckled awkwardly.

"It's alright, maybe it'll be fine after you give him the gift." The saleswoman smiled kindly, like a loving aunt. "Have you thought of what to give him?"

Mitsuko nodded slightly, her eyes shining: "He likes simple but meaningful things, so how about... we buy him a watch?"

Guangzi remembers that one evening after taking a shower, she was lying lazily on the sofa wrapped in a bath towel, watching a soap opera on TV, when she suddenly asked Meng, "Meng, what is the most special gift you've ever seen in a TV drama?"

"A watch." I was in the kitchen making fried rice at the time and didn't even realize it.

"why?"

"It can't be explained in just a few words, but its significance is very special."

From that time on, I remembered that the watch was a very special gift to my dream.

Mitsuko followed the sales clerk to the watch counter, where all kinds of watches were displayed, each one shimmering with a unique light. She picked one up and examined it closely, her mind filled with memories of her daily life with Wo Meng, and she couldn't help but smile foolishly.

"Silly child, are you so obsessed with him?" The experienced salesperson immediately recognized who Guangzi was thinking about.

"Ah! No!" Mitsuko quickly blushed and waved her hands in protest, "I just... um, remembered something happy!"

"Silly child." The sales clerk smiled and said nothing more.

Guangzi chose a watch, paid for it, and happily ran out, clutching it. The sales clerk called after her from afar, "Hey, hey! We haven't packed your bag yet!!!"

She clutched the watch tightly in her hand, wishing she could teleport like Jet and immediately appear before my dream, holding the watch, to see the fascinating expression on his face.

Just then, the city suddenly erupted in a cacophony of noises: car horns malfunctioned, traffic lights began to erratically change, loudspeakers outside shops started emitting a cacophony of noise, and screens on buildings displayed scrambled, snow-like characters.

Then, accompanied by a strange laugh, Aynome's enormous body slowly emerged in the city.

Purple electromagnetic waves emanated from its shoulders, suddenly engulfing the entire city. The streets instantly descended into chaos as people scattered in all directions, screams echoing everywhere.

The effects of the violent electromagnetic waves spread rapidly. Photon saw people around him stop in their tracks, their eyes glazed over, and then they began to mutter unconsciously. Their movements became stiff, as if controlled by some unseen force. Neighbors and friends who were once gentle now had faces contorted with pain and anger, and they began to attack those around them indiscriminately.

A young mother, pushing a stroller, beamed with happiness. She stopped in front of a café, looking down and playing with her baby in the stroller. However, as the electromagnetic waves swept over her, her expression suddenly froze, and her smile vanished. Her eyes became vacant, as if her soul had been ripped away. Then, she slowly turned around, staring wide-eyed at the people around her, her hands clenched into fists, and she began to unconsciously wave them at passersby, letting out low growls.

Beside her, an office worker in a neat suit, briefcase in hand, had been rushing to the company. The electromagnetic waves stopped him in his tracks. His eyes became vacant, and his briefcase fell to the ground. His expression shifted rapidly from surprise to pain, then contorted as if he were enduring immense suffering. He suddenly turned, grabbed a trash can from the roadside, and smashed it with all his might at the pedestrians beside him.

An elderly vendor, who had been intently arranging the fruit on his stall, paused for a moment due to the electromagnetic wave attack. His eyes became glazed, and the apple in his hand fell to the ground. His movements stiffened, and then he frantically swung the scale in his hand, attacking the people around him while muttering meaningless words.

A young couple, who were strolling hand in hand on the street, became stiff and their eyes turned hostile after being affected by electromagnetic waves. The boy suddenly pushed the girl away, his eyes filled with rage, while the girl screamed and began hitting him with her bag.

On the streets, the once orderly city life instantly turned into a chaotic battlefield, filled with screams, roars, and cacophony. People fought each other like wild beasts who had lost their minds. The air was filled with fear and despair, and the whole city seemed to have fallen into the apocalypse.

Mitsuko felt a sharp headache, her vision began to blur, and her ears were filled with chaotic sounds. At the same time, many violent emotions uncontrollably appeared in her mind. Mitsuko realized that something was wrong. The monster's ability was obviously to make people lose their minds and attack each other, and she did not seem to be immune to this ability.

Her true form is a Guts alien. Although she is not a Guts alien warrior who is good at fighting, she is much stronger than an Earthling when she really fights. If she is completely affected by this magnetic field, half a minute would be enough for her to kill a whole bunch of people.

This situation absolutely cannot happen. Not only does her own kindness prevent her from indiscriminately killing innocent people, but more importantly, if she kills Earthlings, she will no longer be able to face my dream.

Without the slightest hesitation, Photon charged with all his might towards the stone pillar by the roadside and crashed headfirst into it. With a dizzying sensation, Photon instantly suffered a head injury and collapsed to the ground, bleeding profusely.

Fortunately, Aynor left the scene quickly, and Jaden, who was waiting for her at home, noticed something was wrong in the city. He rushed to the scene, found her, and carried her to the hospital as fast as possible.

After settling Photon in the hospital, Jetton immediately called the Defense Forces headquarters to find me, Meng.

When the news of Photon's injury and unconsciousness reached his ears, I found myself completely unlike my usual calm self. If he hadn't maintained some self-control, he would have almost snapped the phone.

"Excuse me for a moment." After hanging up the phone, I rushed out of the command center and headed straight for the hospital.

"What's wrong with him?" Everyone was stunned to see my dream suddenly change so drastically; they had never seen my dream so out of control before.

"Perhaps there's someone important to him among the injured," Captain Megumi said thoughtfully, looking at the images coming from the scene on the screen.

In the hospital, I dreamt of rushing into the ward like a gust of wind, and saw Photon with her head wrapped like a mummy and Jaden by her bedside.

Fortunately, the photon was not of human form, so the force of the impact on its head did not cause fatal injuries. It simply lost consciousness and, after receiving basic treatment at the hospital, it has since regained consciousness, though it is very weak and not fully alert.

"Photon, I dreamt of you," Zetton whispered in her ear.

When she heard that I was dreaming, Mitsuko's eyes suddenly brightened. She tried to turn her head to see him, and I quickly moved closer to the bedside.

“I dream…I dream…” Mitsuko looked at I dream, her hand, which was covered by the sheet, stretched out with effort. I dream and Jetton then realized that she had been tightly clutching a watch in her hand the whole time.

"Happy birthday, my dream... happy birthday..." She tried her best to hand the watch to my dream and smiled foolishly.

My dream's pupils suddenly contracted. Only now did he finally understand why Guangzi had asked him to cover her shift that morning, and why she had mysteriously run out the door without telling him what she was going to do.

He was speechless for a moment, his hands trembling slightly as he grasped Guangzi's hand.

"Photon, why..." I didn't know where to begin.

Mitsuko gripped his hand tightly, forcing a silly smile onto her tired face: "You're always so busy caring about others, but someone should care about you too..."

I felt the muscles on my face trembling. He admitted that he was now on the verge of a breakdown, especially after seeing that the gift Guangzi gave him was a watch. It was more than just a breakdown.

When Mitsuko asked him why his watch was so special, Iruka simply thought of the watch that Akiko Sakata gave to Hideki Go before she died in the manga. But he never imagined that one day this scene would happen to him.

PTSD flare-up

"Kuizumi, you should rest here for a while. Jet, please take good care of Kuizumi." I suddenly stood up and was about to walk out the door.

"What are you going to do?"

"I want to... kill Aenemena."

Chapter 179 Pick up the horn, I'll make you pick up the horn!

At this moment, I finally fully understood why Hideki Go's heart was in such turmoil, like a raging sea.

In this situation, no emotionally normal person could possibly suppress their feelings.

Ultraman isn't allowed to transform? I'd rather jump off a building than not transform!

Even my dream is in a much better situation than Hideki Go's. At least Mitsuko is still alive, while Hideki Go not only lost Akiko, who loved him deeply, but also his like-minded partner Sakata.

It's perfectly normal for people in the village to lose their minds. If it were me, I wouldn't make any other choice either. Even if I knew that the battlefield under the setting sun was a trap, I would still step into it without hesitation as a person with normal emotions.

"I absolutely cannot lose. I must avenge Sakata and Akiko." I finally understood the feelings Go had when he said those words.
