Ultra: Heroes Don't Ask Where They Come From

"Thank you for the information."

Sharon said this after killing the female Kirieloid.

A drizzle was falling, and this virtual world that had lasted for a week came to an end.

Constantly distorting the other party's spirit, changing the other party's common sense, and inducing the other party's tendency, now finally paid off.

Although it was still inaccurate - but there was nothing that could be done about it. No matter how much she changed, she could not completely control the other person's body. The other person's resistance made her give an answer, but it was only a part, a vague aspect.

But this was already a huge improvement—so big that it even made him wonder whether the other party was "rebelling" against him even while being manipulated.

The door seemed to be really in a lake.

Could it be that doors could easily appear in the lake?

Xia Long shook his head.

In any case, at least it is certain that a "door" did appear, and that door is in Japan.

Xia Long looked around the alley again. If this scene was discovered by someone, it would probably be considered an outright brutal homicide. However, after a thorough investigation, it would be discovered that all the victims had been dead for at least two years.

They wear the skins of the dead and live like ordinary people. These are the Kirieloids.

His next goal was determined. It would be best to find the door in Japan and close it. He had to do everything he could to do this. This was the fundamental and permanent solution to the Kirieloid's re-attack.

Then we can’t just hide in the city and kill the Kyrieloids.

Xia Long jumped lightly onto the wall of the alley, and then jumped again to the roof of someone else's house. He quickly jumped over several roofs and landed lightly on the deserted street, his clothes completely soaked.

Bodies still gathered in the alley from the rain.

It was the night of November 2007 in the fall of 11. It was raining and windy, and the weather was not sunny at all.

Xia Long used a false method to control the Kirieloid people to tell the truth about their arrival in this world and the key, and prepared to find that place and destroy it.

Gatanjea will wake up in 2010, and Xialong still needs to stay in this world for 3 full years.

Now it will be a story of blood and monsters that travels around Japan.

.........

There is an invisible and intangible ghost in the air. If you happen to catch a glimpse of it, you will find it is a small blue creature with no specific shape.

"CQ! CQ! CQ!"

The young man spoke nervously and complicatedly, and as if casting a spell, he pressed the TRANSMIT button on the microphone. The black, antique-like unknown machine lit up with an LCD screen and a watch that pointed to something unknown.

There was a green light on it.

"CQ! CQ! CQ! This is BG4MXH, Bravo-Golf-Four-Mike-Xray-Hotel, calling cq and waiting for a call!"

But nothing happened, only a low noise was spreading in the room. The standing man didn't seem to care about it. He didn't even look at the young man's movements, but looked straight ahead, motionless, as if he was listening attentively to the noise in the room.

The young man was a little embarrassed after calling several times without getting a response. Looking up at the man, he couldn't help but explain;

"There are monsters - or some kind of elves, but shortwave communications are not very stable, and the ionosphere has been acting strange recently. Even if we deliberately stay away from the city, there is a possibility of failure..."

The young man argued;

"But I'm not lying. The blue creature that looks like a naked sea butterfly does exist. It appeared from the radio station, and it once responded to my communication! Such a clear memory cannot be brought about by hallucination!"

Why men get to know young people and why they come to discuss things about the blue naked sea butterfly are all things that can be discussed, but there is no need to discuss them because the naked sea butterfly is not the monster or demon that men are looking for.

About two months have passed, and now it is February 2008, 2. In two months, the man's appearance has not changed at all.

Although traveling around Japan is a trip, it should also be a tiring process. There will inevitably be differences in subtle details, more or less, but men still maintain their inherent state as if they have been motionless in one place for a long time.

During the two months, I climbed mountains, entered forests, verified monsters and ghosts, met a group of wizards and Onmyojis who have the power to exorcise demons, and even became a demon exorcist myself - these will probably, perhaps, slowly emerge in the stories that follow.

But now, Xia Long knew why this matter was pushed onto him.

There is indeed no special smell of evil here.

But is the young man lying? Xia Long doesn’t think so.

"Is your frequency adjusted correctly?" Xia Long said in a voice as cold as spring water. Based on his limited knowledge, "Is it only at this frequency that the 'Naked Sea Butterfly' can appear?"

"No, not really. Although I'm an amateur radio enthusiast, I've passed the exam and have made many long-distance calls." The young man put down his headphones and pointed at the black radio that looked like it was worth a lot of money and full of old things. "In early October, October 10 to be exact, I was making a long-distance call that day. I was originally planning to just... uh, chat with someone, but that 'Naked Sea Butterfly' appeared."

Amateur radio is an activity that has gradually become outdated, but is still strictly regulated. When you speak into the radio station, your voice is compiled into regular radio waves and propagates silently at the speed of light.

These radio waves are everywhere in our world, in cities, in the sky, in an ordinary house in the countryside, in front of the eyes of a young person and non-human being, or in the headphones they are wearing.

They hit the ionosphere fifty kilometers above, and gradually made sounds in the human world, chirping and being received by those who were squatting on this frequency at the same time.

"October 10th." Xia Long murmured.

"I first found a response from nowhere, and then a blue arc appeared. Heinrich spent a year looking for it in the black room! Fortunately, the radio was not broken! It was the first time I saw it! Then the arc turned into a naked sea butterfly. I later thought it was an illusion, but at the beginning of this year, I used it almost every week and finally found it again." As he spoke, the young man went off topic and became excited. "He spoke. Although he didn't speak common phrases at all, he spoke Japanese."

Common phrases are things like "CQ," which is the radio equivalent of "Is anyone there?"

Xia Long waited patiently for the young man to finish speaking, but during this time, the 'Naked Sea Butterfly' still did not appear.

The young man took off his headphones and stood up.

"I'll go adjust the antenna."

Xia Long looked at him for a while before saying, "Be careful not to fall."

The young man waved his hands and said, "It's okay, I'm used to it." Then he climbed out of the window of the room... and walked carefully like the protagonist in a horror game.

Xia Long still didn't move. With him around, even if the young man fell, he would ensure that he would be safe in the end.

He just looked at the black radio, an antique-like radio, but it was preserved very well. Even though it was repeatedly used in the words of young people, it was obvious at a glance how much this radio was cared for.

A blue arc flashed.

Xia Long was stunned.

Crackling——

As the sound could be heard by the ears, a "small" explosion occurred on the black radio, and the blue arc jumped and undulated, turning into a beautiful little creature.

Blue, transparent, and shining with color inside - an incredible creature.

Xia Long stretched out his hand, and the earphones were lifted by an invisible force and flew to his hand. He put on one earphone, and from the earphone, there came a rustling sound with pauses and distortion;

[(electrical sound)...Friend (electrical sound)...Friend...(electrical sound) Strange...(electrical sound)...It's getting strange...]

Xia Long put the earphone close to his left ear and listened silently.

The young man tumbled in from the window of the room in a panic and fell to the ground with a loud noise, but he soon saw the 'naked sea butterfly' he had always dreamed of and let out a small cry of surprise.

The 'naked sea butterfly' suddenly disappeared as if frightened.

Before the young man could make any other exclamations, he suddenly saw his radio station again, and then it made a deafening sound.

“7! 2! 5!!! My 725!!!”

The black radio station called 725 is emitting black smoke and looks like it is about to collapse, creating a very sci-fi scene.

Xia Long was not good at repairing electronic equipment, and the black radio had already become like that the moment Naked Sea Butterfly appeared, so he could do nothing to help. Even so, seeing the other party so sad, he couldn't help but feel a little sympathy.

As the young man was crying bitterly, Xia Long spoke quietly.

"I was the one who asked you to repeat the experiment. I will compensate you to the best of my ability. However, the creature just now was not a naked sea butterfly. Although it looked very similar, it was a lightning man."

"Sob...sob...Flashman?"

"They were destroyed twice by Tiga, also known as the Titans. But the Lightning People are a huge race living in the ionosphere. They form a complete ecosystem. Now this ecosystem is in conflict with humans. In the future, things like your radio station may happen on a larger scale sooner or later."

"It's best not to do any more radio communications for the time being - although it may not be possible. Sorry."

Xia Long seemed to be talking to the young man, but also seemed to be talking to himself. He looked at 725 with a hint of apology and said, "I'm so sorry, I can't help you with this."
