Chapter 92: Oh No, the Secret Is Out!

"Renwen, don't talk nonsense!"

Coming back to herself, Reiko Yoshii frowned at Renwen, correcting him at once. "I have absolutely nothing to do with that man!"

"It was him stalking me last time. This could just be another lie he made up to lure me over."

"I think it's real," Tabata said, seeing it differently, a look of delight on his face. "He even mentioned us just now. There's a very good chance he's really Hiroya Fujimiya himself!"

This was Tabata's judgment based on experience. If it really was some stalker, of course he would help Reiko Yoshii catch the guy.

"Yeah, I think so too," Renwen chimed in from the side.

Their words only made Reiko Yoshii feel more frustrated. How had the guy stalking her suddenly become Hiroya Fujimiya?

And yet, if he really was an Ultraman, why had he stalked her before?

Reiko Yoshii recalled the details from that time, and suddenly remembered what Fujimiya had said.

It really could have been him.

She remembered that when he was stalking her, he had said one thing to her:

That he would spread the image of Ultraman to the whole world, so everyone would know.

Then, in that case...

Thinking of those words, Reiko Yoshii connected them with the television station being infiltrated.

Could it be that the system intrusion at the station was actually done by Hiroya Fujimiya? After all, he had once been a member of Alchemy Star.

As a scientist who developed a light quantum computer, he must be extremely skilled with computers.

Wait, this is bad. Have I just learned something incredibly serious?

As the thought took shape, Reiko Yoshii's face stiffened.

If Hiroya Fujimiya found out that she already knew these things...

No. I have to pretend I don't know anything!

Seeing that she had not reacted for a long time, as if lost in a daze, Tabata waved a hand in front of her face. "Hey, Reiko? Reiko?"

"Huh? What is it?" Reiko Yoshii snapped back to reality and looked at Tabata in confusion.

At that moment, Renwen urged her too. "Reiko, what are you daydreaming about? Hurry up and get in the car. We're about to set off."

"Oh, okay, I'm coming!" Reiko Yoshii came to her senses and headed for the passenger seat.

Tabata said from behind, "You don't need to worry. He described it so specifically, it should be true."

"Besides, even if it's false, Renwen and I will protect you. Nothing will happen."

"Don't worry, Reiko," Renwen said, thumping his chest in assurance. "I trained in karate before. I'm pretty strong!"

As he spoke, Renwen lifted his arm, looking very powerful.

Reiko Yoshii glanced at him, a hint of disdain on her face. "With the way you look, skinny arms and legs like that, you seem weak at first glance."

"Uh, I..." Renwen was left speechless, then looked down at his own build.

He wanted to show off his abs, but when he reached out to feel them, his expression changed.

Oh no, it's all turned into fat!

Unable to refute that, Renwen pouted and changed the subject. "Still, of course I can't compare with your blue Ultraman."

He made exaggerated faces at her, which annoyed Reiko Yoshii quite a bit. "Don't talk nonsense!"

"All right, all right." Tabata stepped in to smooth things over, then said to Renwen, "This is a golden opportunity. We have to seize it."

Renwen nodded excitedly and drove toward the Marunouchi city area.

Meanwhile, Tabata contacted the television station and arranged for the broadcast later on.

After hanging up, he thought it over and called another person. The call connected. "Kei, it's Tabata."

"Could you come help me? I've run into something related to feng shui, connected to the earth dragon veins beneath Tokyo."

"The situation is like this..."

Tabata briefly explained what had happened, and the person on the other end of the line agreed at once.

The person he had called was the younger sister of an acquaintance of his, and she was very skilled at feng shui.

Kei Kuroda, the female geomancer who in the original television story persuaded Gyo, seemed able to sense the consciousness of the Earth Dragon and hear its response in the prayers within her heart.

According to Kuroda Kei herself, she was only a hobbyist in feng shui, but that was far too modest a statement.

Jotetsu went to the Geo Base and picked up a car, while declining the driver arranged by Higuchi.

He simply wanted to conceal his identity and make his appearance at the scene seem reasonable; having someone follow him would only be troublesome.

Ishimuro now knew the truth, but the others in XIG still had to remain in the dark.

Just look at Fujimiya now that his identity was exposed. Even going out to buy supplies required disguise.

He no longer dared to appear in crowds on ordinary days, or he might be surrounded by a mob.

The main reason was that the Disaster Bringer had invaded Earth, and the appearance of monsters had left people with almost no sense of safety.

If a person like that suddenly turned out to be an Ultraman with the power to defeat monsters, what would people think?

Human beings are complicated creatures. Some would be grateful to the point of worship, some would use it to morally blackmail him, and some would even come to hate him.

It was precisely because he understood all this that Jotetsu had told Fujimiya to think it through before acting.

The Pacific.

Jojo had once again regained control of the skills he had learned in the subspace, including the light sword he had devised.

Rather than calling it a light sword, it was more like a jagged greatsword.

In any case, it felt perfect in his hand. Jojo felt that with a muscular build like his, only a greatsword was fitting enough.

The blue light sword, the Eight-Part Light Wheel, and the Storm Sword fused together. From now on, this weapon would be called the Jagged Light Sword.

With that thought, Jojo dispersed the jagged light sword in his hand. Having mastered the skill once more, he did not cancel his transformation.

Gaia's performance today had led Jojo to a new thought. Gamu was a little outrageous.

He had the Earth of Light from the very beginning, and after seeing Jojo absorb energy and unlock a new form, he immediately followed suit and developed a new form as well.

Gamu's almost cheating level of performance made Jojo think of the Gaia movie.

In the movie, Gamu, during one mission, was transported to a parallel world by a wishing red ball.

It was a world without Ultramen, only special-effects dramas filmed by humans and distributed on discs or through television broadcasts.

Something akin to a parallel universe.

After the wishing red ball reached that Earth, a child found it and wished to see Gaia. That was how the movie version of Gamu was transported there. But that was not the key point.

The key was this:

After the movie version of Gamu returned with no energy left, he then used a spacetime transport device to travel back again.

He had also scanned the data of the wishing red ball, and then crossed back into that world.

Jojo felt that Gamu must have been analyzing him in secret, which was why he unlocked a new form.

He suspected that the current Gamu was perhaps the same Gamu from the movie.

At this moment, Jojo concentrated energy in his eyes and used the Ultraman Eye to search the waters of the Pacific.

He was wondering whether another movie world might exist as well.

The world of Linear, where there was a race of luminous beings.

If that movie world also existed, then the Destroyed Sea God Gakuzom was probably now seizing the light of those beings.

Jojo's bulb-like eyes fired two white beams, sweeping across the Pacific seabed in search, but found nothing at all.

"Could it be hidden in another dimension?"

His gaze moved over the ocean floor of the Pacific. This was the Mariana Trench, and he remembered that the world of Linear was supposed to be here.

Unfortunately, after searching several times, he found no unusual phenomenon.

The beams released by the Ultraman Eye could see through thousands of meters of rock and also reveal some hidden powers.

However, there was another possibility.

The Ultraman Eye was not omnipotent; sometimes it could not see through an enemy's disguise.

For example, the vile Babal Alien. The Ultra Brothers were completely fooled by it, to the point that Ace uttered that classic line.

Something about the ardent heart never being extinguished, and that since the situation was urgent, they should kill Astra!

If not for the Ultra King's intervention back then, the Ultra Brothers and Leo would still have been fighting.

But now that Fongyuan knew the plot, the development of events would certainly be different.

Jojo thought that the power of the Source of Destruction might have concealed this place and locked the world of Linear inside another dimension.
