Chapter 382 Dangerous Christmas
"Squeak!"

On the edge of a European-style town with a strong Christmas atmosphere, an old man in a suit carrying an old suitcase opens the door and enters a dusty villa.

Because no one lived there for a long time, the originally luxurious villa looked a bit dilapidated, and there were even a lot of fallen leaves in the living room.

But the balcony window was broken by that little bastard throwing stones.

The old man shook his clothes, lifted the dustproof cloth covering the tables and chairs, put down the suitcase and took out a portable instrument from it.

This is the space-time prediction disk that he invented in order to search for Yunijin. It looks like a child's handicraft, but it actually contains a lot of his hard work.

And years of hard work are finally bearing fruit.

This time, for some unknown reason, the usually unreliable space-time disk suddenly accurately predicted the area where Eugene would appear.

Right here in my hometown.

Picking up the kettle and taking a sip, the old man stroked his gray beard with his mouth open. A pair of slightly lonely eyes scanned the empty living room.

Fast forward 60 years.

He seems to have only a little obsession with Eugene in his life.

In the living room with blurred vision, the lively scene of childhood emerged again. The family was busy decorating the living room for Christmas.

"Yes, the day I decorated the Christmas tree with my mother and sister..."

The old man misses looking out of the balcony.

In order to find red fruit to decorate the Christmas tree and make his family more happy, he went to the forest behind that night alone. Although he couldn't find the fruit no matter what, he met Unikin for the first time under the moonlight.

A beautiful creature that has never been seen before, a mythical phantom beast that only exists in legends.

It would be nice if others could see it too.

Thinking this way, he became a research-oriented scholar when he grew up, and he has been working hard like this.

But each time Unikin only stays for a while and then disappears, the closest time I saw a Unikin tail in the Irish forest.

The old man woke up from his memories and began to repair the problematic space-time prediction disk.

"Ok?"

After debugging for a while, the old man suddenly paused, turned around and looked back in doubt, and found nothing before burying his head in manipulating the instrument again.

"It's old and suspicious."

"call!"

The breeze blew the curtains, driving the door to make a slight sound.

Xia Shu kept the state of quantum movement and glanced at the old man, left four ash tree branches behind, turned and left from the living room.

He has already read the thesis of this Dr. Gu Li, and he also knows that the other party wants to use the branches of the ash tree to construct a magic circle to trap Eugene according to myths and legends.

Legend has it that Yunijin can be captured with wood and stones. The wood is called the tree of the universe, and ash branches must be used, and the stones are crystals that can serve as containers.

It's just that the ash tree belongs to the state-owned forest, and the old man was too unlucky, and it was almost Christmas Eve, so he still couldn't get the branches successfully.

Xia Shu thought back to the town block.

He doubted that Eugene could really be captured, but it wouldn't hurt to try.

Even buying some time to collect data is good.

"Where have you been, Advisor Gao Shu?"

Neighborhood Kenjiro Kiba and Sean took Ellie to buy a lot of Christmas gifts, and they were surprised when they saw Natsuki returning empty-handed.

"It's rare to come here, at least buy some gifts, consultant."

"Oops," Kiba Kenjiro checked the shopping list angrily, "I forgot the gift for my nephew!"

Xia Shu smiled and didn't mean to buy a gift: "Have you seen any miraculous phenomena during this time?"

Although it's not Christmas Eve yet, with the approach of Unikin, special afterimages have appeared.

Just now he saw the phantom of Yunijin flying in the sky, but it was so short that no one noticed it.

"Mysterious phenomenon?"

Shane scratched his head.

"By the way, the patrolmen and forest rangers came over and said that someone had chopped down a lot of ash tree branches, and I don't know who is so wicked..."

"I didn't say that."

Xia Shu interrupted.

"Let's wait until Christmas Eve, when we will come again."

"Christmas Eve?" Kenjiro Kiba said in a daze, "Consultant, you don't really believe the lies of that liar doctor, do you? I bet it's absolutely impossible to see Younikin!"

"I've seen it too." Xia Shu looked at Kenjiro Kiba with a delicate expression.

"Consultant Gao Shu, this joke is not funny at all."

"Beep beep!"

While yelling, Kiba Kenjiro freed his hand and took out the vibrating personal terminal.

"Ah, it's Kaito and the others who are in charge of patrolling today. They probably asked us to help buy Christmas presents. Really, I can't hold them in my hands..."

"Let me buy it for them." Xia Shu smiled and accepted the terminal communication.

He has no relatives in this world, and Lilica's gift has already been prepared. As for everyone in DASH, it is considered a Christmas gift to bring these people to meet Unikin.

After all, it is a mythical phantom beast that ordinary people can't see at all.

"By the way, Ellie," Xia Shu remembered, "I found an interesting piece of artificial intelligence information, which may be helpful for you to learn about human emotions, so I will send it to you as a gift."

Ellie showed a humanized expression of joy: "Thank you consultant."

"You're welcome."

Xia Shu nodded slightly.

The artificial intelligence developed by My Dream is far less mature than this world, let alone compared with Ellie.

However, it seems to be okay to compare it as a gift.

Ellie is after human emotion, and even a little help far outweighs other gifts.

……

Tokyo Bay Port Area.

East Malaysia Kaito ended the communication and turned to Ruixi helplessly: "The two of us are too unlucky, and we have to patrol during Christmas."

According to the speculation of Advisor Gao Shu, there should be some kind of conspiracy behind the King Aire incident, so DASH has been conducting secret investigations.

There seems to be finally a clue recently.

"It seems like the two of us always act together..."

"Ah."

Ruixi responded indifferently, leaning against the guardrail of the harbor, looking not very energetic.

"What's on your mind?" Toma Kaito asked concerned.

"Kaito," Ruixi looked at Dongma Kaito with a complicated look, "haven't you ever been afraid? Monsters come one by one, maybe when they become Ultraman fighting, they really die."

"That's it."

Dongma Kaito came to his senses, scratched the back of his head and said.

"I'm not sure, I'm sure I'm afraid, but even if I'm afraid, I still have to transform into a fight... Besides, after transforming, there's no time to think about other things. Wouldn't it be nice to win?"

"Is it such a simple thing?"

Ruixi laughed at herself and looked towards the sea.

"I'm probably a coward. Recently, I'm afraid even in my dreams. I'm not as brave as Kaito."

"How could it be?" Dongma Kaito shook his head and said, "Didn't member Ruixi save me several times by transforming? Besides, DASH members usually risk their lives..."

"That's different."

Ruixi forced a wry smile on his face.

Daily DASH battles and Ultraman battles are totally two different things.

The latter is terribly stressful.

"beep--!"

Ruixi still wanted to talk, but the personal terminals of the two suddenly rang at the same time.

"Kaito, Ruixi, something happened!" Tufang said in a heavy voice, "There is news from the orphanage that Lilica is missing! Go to the scene to investigate immediately!"

"what?"

Ruixi and the two looked at each other with greatly changed expressions.

"Does the advisor know?"

"I don't know yet, but I guess it will be soon." Tufang frowned, "The most important thing now is to find out what's going on? There have been several missing reports, and I don't think it's an ordinary disappearance..."
