When Ultraman appears in reality, however:

"Hey? Why is it raining again?"

"I checked the weather forecast. It's going to be a shower. It will be gone in a few minutes. It's okay."

"But compared to this, how come even the big screens in the city center are reporting on Ultraman now?"

……

"In Sujing City, Jiangsu Province, China, Ultraman, the superhero known to the public, appeared for the first time. Now he has really appeared in our reality. We will educate all the public. The Ultraman in the picture is a character created by Tsuburaya Company, named Next. The giant monster fighting him is called The One, a kind of alien beast."

On the huge screen, a well-known female host was saying that it was somewhat incongruous to hear the code name Ultraman in the serious news reports over the years.

"According to incomplete statistics, the battle between Ultraman Next and The One in Sujing City yesterday resulted in more than 130 casualties, including 6 deaths, 28 serious injuries, 96 minor injuries, and an estimated properties destroyed..."

The host began to report the number of casualties and property losses, but they were not as exaggerated as the crowd imagined.

Swish, swish, swish...

In the city at night, the rain hit the ground, splashing a string of water. The boy stood on the roadside, looking at the huge screen, letting the rain wet his hair and blur his vision. Perhaps this can temporarily forget the pain in his heart.

"And today, Ultraman Next appeared in a city in the Sun Country and fought with a giant dinosaur, but the local military and the local free forces insisted on attacking Next, resulting in many casualties in the battle. Let's take a look at the situation at the scene."

After the host waited for a few seconds, the picture from Japan came out.

On the devastated street, a piece of white cloth was wrapped on the ground, and on the other side of the ground was a black shadow, vaguely visible as being from a child.

"During this battle, our Ministry of Foreign Affairs raised many questions to Japan's diplomacy, and Japan's response was that Ultraman Next affected the plans of other countries and the Free Country, and seriously violated their interests, so the attack was a helpless move."

The host paused, then his tone became serious.

"But some people at the scene recorded some footage. Let's take a look at what happened at the time."

The scene changed, and a silver-red giant was bending down to help a mother and child out of danger. The focus narrowed, and a girl in revealing clothes appeared in the picture, pointing at the giant in the camera with excitement.

After a clip, the picture zoomed out, most likely because the photographer evacuated to a farther location, and then dozens of missiles bombarded the giant.

A caption immediately appeared.

Does Ultraman in real life also have to be treated like Himeya Jun in movies and TV dramas?

He protected humanity, but was attacked by humans. Later, because the army and the government concealed the truth from the people, Ultraman Next was accused of this crime. Is this really correct?

After another clip, the silver-red giant looked at the mother and child for more than three minutes. After a low roar that sounded painful, he flew away from the ground and went straight into the air.

At the end of the shot, a senior executive of Tsuburaya said solemnly.

"I don't think this incident is Ultraman's fault. If all this is consistent with the story created by Tsuburaya, then the fit person must be extremely painful to see these scenes."

The executives of Tsuburaya looked at the screen, as if meeting Yue Ji's eyes.

"Even if we cannot trust the giant now, we must understand that this is the fault of the Japanese government. They did not inform the people in advance about the escape of the monsters, used the people as bait, and launched weapons of mass destruction in areas where there were citizens. In any case, we should not blame the giants. I implore the people to open their eyes."

The heavy rain gradually stopped, as if it had no more power once the force was gone. Yue Ji stared at the screen, watching all this in disbelief.

The video suddenly stopped and the screen switched back to the host from China.

"What's even more ironic is that the Japanese government pushed all the casualties onto Ultraman Next. From this perspective, our childhood hero Ultraman is also facing a crisis of trust."

-

Ah, is that so?

But... I still couldn't save them.

Yue Ji's eyes regained some luster, but he knew very well that he was not unrelated to what happened.

Maybe it would be better to let humans handle it themselves next time.

The boy then realized that he was wet again. He looked up but found that no raindrops were falling.

Perhaps after becoming Ultraman, one should be like a soldier participating in a war, but how should one measure the life and death of others?

"Damn, if only I could evolve to the point where I could use Meta Field."

Yue Ji said dejectedly that if he could evolve to a youth form, he would be able to use the domain and avoid all casualties.

But to be honest, he himself didn't know whether he could evolve. The worst case scenario was that he would have to die, and then the light would be passed on to the next generation.

Yue Ji didn't continue watching. He could tell from the background music that it was probably just words of support and praise. He was a little uncomfortable with the sentimental music he was used to, but he still appreciated the intention.

No matter what, he didn't want that kind of thing to happen again. Although this sin did not belong to him, Yue Ji understood that if he wanted to protect others, he had to survive first.

He walked slowly towards home.

......

The next day, Friday.

Yue Ji still couldn't let it go. He couldn't avenge the mother and son. He felt deeply regretful about this. He wanted to do something, but the country had already erupted, and a large number of citizens took to the streets to protest. It was no longer his turn to say anything.

After waking up from a sleep, Yue Ji reviewed his battle and his position at that time. Although transforming into a fighter to fight the giant dinosaur was essentially the right thing to do, he felt bad about the casualties caused by the second war with the local military.

After simply disinfecting his chest, he went out to get something to eat.

There was nothing unusual on this day, but the matter of Ultraman had become a hot topic on the Internet, and Yue Ji also gained some benefits from it.

After all, he is in the self-media business, and he can solve his food and clothing problems by making some videos.

But no matter what, the world situation has changed, and Yue Ji has to think about the future direction of making money.

After lunch, he started searching on the Internet.

The first thing he looked up was some fighting skills, which were essential for Ultraman. Yue Ji did not agree with the new era's approach of getting almost zero points in fighting and having to use a glass cannon to take the monster away. Nexus was different from other Ultramen. Assuming that the new generation had three status bars, they were health, energy, and time. At the beginning of each battle, health would be reset and energy would be replenished.

But Yue Ji only has blood volume and energy. The blood volume will not be reset at the beginning of each battle, but will be inherited, and the damage received will be 100% fed back to the fittest. Although the energy will also be reset, if it does not evolve, the amount of this energy can only be said to be negligible.

When Yue Ji was halfway through using Evolution Ray·Flow, his energy was already at the bottom, and what continued to be consumed was his own blood, which led to his final coma. However, Yue Ji could feel that the blood consumed by using skills could be easily recovered. To put it bluntly, it was just a mental loss, and he would recover soon with a good rest and adjustment.

Therefore, fighting skills are of vital importance to Yue Ji. If he can kill the monster alive, he will try not to use light. Let humans deal with the monster's corpse, which can also help technology to a certain extent. Secondly, if he uses light every time, then the tiring degree of the battle will be self-evident.

There is also the question of where monsters, alien creatures, and Ultraman come from, and why the things portrayed in film and television dramas appear in reality. Yue Ji couldn't figure this out, so he had to search on video platforms and forums.

In a low-profile discussion forum, some people said they heard a noisy sound similar to the sound of snow on a TV error, which sounded as if it was not from this world. Since the incident began, huge monsters and giants have appeared.

However, this topic is not very popular and not many people discuss it. After all, more abundant speculations such as nuclear waste water and the theory that film and television dramas are the same as the real world seem to make more sense.

Yue Ji tried to think about it in his mind, but he couldn't think of any useful information, so he turned to search for the current reputation of Ultraman. On the other hand, how to make some money by taking advantage of the popularity in this situation is also the top priority.

While he was searching, a phone call came in.

Thump thump thump.....

He picked up his phone and looked at the screen.

When he saw clearly who was calling, Yue Ji's face instantly turned bad.

"Hey."

"What's going on over there?"

"Nothing's wrong. I've already dealt with your situation. Don't bother me anymore."

"I didn't ask, why are you yelling? I just wanted to know if you're okay."

"Is that what you wanted to ask? I said I was fine."

There was a hint of anger in Yue Ji's tone.

"I won't ask you for money anymore. Dad knows he's wrong, so this time I just came to ask you if that's okay."

He heard a smile from the other end of the line and felt a chill.

"So what is going on?"

"Go back and live here. Clean it up for me."

"Oh, just don't bother me."

Dong...

The phone hangs up.

The person who called was Yue Ji's father, Yue Sihong.

When he was very young, Yue Ji stopped seeing his mother and started living with his father.

In my memory, my father was always gambling and drinking, and never worked properly, which made the already poor family even worse and made Yue Ji's living conditions quite poor since childhood.

A pair of shoes that cost twenty dollars, clothes that can be worn as long as they are worn, and a leftover dish that can be eaten repeatedly with vegetarian dishes for seven or eight days.

Because of his father's unhygienic and sloppy living habits, Yue Ji's living environment is a mess.

The situation did not improve until he started working and earning money and started his own media life.

Later, in order to marry a new woman, his father repeatedly used family rules and regulations to influence Yue Ji.

Yue Ji later learned the truth and realized that it was not that he lost his father, but that his father became his enemy based on this.

He had no time to cry over the loss of his family, and was hurriedly forced to find new ways to make money to keep him alive.

Other people’s youth may be spent thinking about which opposite sex to pursue or worrying about some study-related issues.

But what Yue Ji had always been thinking about was survival, being able to survive in this steel forest.

In the past, he hated his father, hated his father's dishonesty, and hated that he suffered from serious mental illness because of him. Later, also because of him, Yue Ji kept searching for new directions in the predicament.

Fate closed the door and shut the window for him, but he used his own body to constantly chisel away the walls until he found a new path.

Because of this, years of staying up late and lack of sleep, coupled with mental stress, have made Yue Ji's face so haggard, with a rather mature temperament.

What Yue Ji didn't know was that even after he used his body to chisel open the wall, the world outside would still be dark.

......

After cleaning up another bedroom, he felt a little tired and then lay down on the bed for a nap.

-

The dim light from the computer filled the already small room. Bags of black garbage filled the space on the floor, and even a few empty bottles of beer were placed on the bed.

A young man wearing large glasses frames kept typing on the keyboard.

goo goo...

Hearing this, the man muttered to himself.

"Oh, I'm hungry again."

After rummaging through the drawers, he found a bucket of instant noodles.

On the screen, this man is creating a topic on Weibo. With his excellent connections in the Ultraman circle and Weibo, he will soon be able to control the Ultraman-related discussions that are stirring up the world as the topic owner.

Thinking of this, a smile as if he had succeeded appeared on the corner of his mouth.

After a Nexter picture was posted, the topic was successfully established. After releasing a few videos and pictures from the Internet, the topic was quickly pushed to the top of the hot searches on Weibo.

Unlike the previous single popularity, this time it is a complete account that can be followed.

At a meeting of the United Nations, the five permanent members of the UN Security Council held a meeting. In just three days, the Ultraman issue had aroused widespread discussion around the world. Faced with such a powerful giant creature that could deal with the Free State fighter formation at any time, countries also began to discuss the number of this creature.

The spokesperson of the Huaxia country said into the microphone, "The name of our host is commonly used by Tsuburaya Company, and it is Ultraman Next. According to the existing pictures and videos, this creature is not an enemy of us humans at present. Moreover, it is very likely that it is a human in disguise, just like in the movies and TV series."

Seeing this, the representative of the Free Country also took the opportunity to speak up.

"We agreed to the naming issue, but we do not agree with the position. You should know that just yesterday this Ultraman destroyed the interests of us and Japan, and the economic losses caused in the process are immeasurable."

After listening to this, representatives from various countries also expressed their opinions.

In the end, Ultraman was temporarily used as a general term to refer to the giants that appeared in China and Japan, and different countries had very different attitudes towards Ultraman.

On the surface of the Pacific Ocean, a huge purple light kept flashing. At the same time, deep underground in Inner Mongolia, there were bursts of error sounds from old televisions, but no one noticed this time.
