i'm really only human

Chapter 556 Questioning
Liberty Fortress.

Led by the administrator, Gu Men walked into the interrogation room with trepidation. Three TLT organization leaders were sitting under spotlights, with a huge emblem representing the organization on the wall behind them.

He took a careful look and was a little breathless because of the military uniform that was so different from the usual ones.

These three old men are the highest-ranking officers of the Japanese branch.

"Team Komon, the report says that the newly appeared giant saved you."

"Yes."

Gu Men sat upright with his head lowered, and the scene of transformation emerged in his mind.

That feeling is extremely wonderful, and it is a magical experience of the sublimation of life level.

"In the past six months, you have mentioned many times that you were saved by another giant, Nexus. What do you think of the new giant?"

The old man in the middle looked stern, trying to get more information from the person involved.

"What do you think they are? How are they related?"

"I think……"

"Answer directly!"

"I do not know."

Gu Men opened his mouth and lowered his head again.

"At that time... I was also looking for answers. Maybe I wanted to change something. I wanted us humans to change something."

"That's all for today's questioning. You can go back and rest first."

The superiors did not ask any more questions, but just left Manager Matsunaga and let Komon leave alone.

In the corridor, Vice Captain Nishijo Feng seemed to have been waiting for a long time. When he saw Komon coming out, he said nothing. He just looked at him deeply and then went into the interrogation room.

"It's because of Mizoroki Shinya."

Captain Hekura sighed and pressed Komon's shoulder.

"Eighteen years ago, Feng's parents died at the hands of alien beasts. Since then, Feng has extremely hated alien beasts, especially humanoid alien beasts. Perhaps because of this, she tried her best to save you this time."

"The deputy captain..."

Gu Men looked up in surprise and suddenly thought of the time when he was attacked by Northfield.

Wouldn’t the deputy captain think that he had become a monster?
But why didn’t you say anything after you came back?

"Captain," Gu Men asked with concern, "What's going on with Goromu Shinya? This person..."

“It happened a year ago.”

He Cang's expression was complicated.

"A year ago, Goroki Shinya was still the vice-captain of this team."

"what?"

"When fighting monsters, there is a possibility of falling into an irreversible darkness. Even people like Mizoroki are not immune to this. That's why I'm giving you a vacation."

Hekura moved his arm away, looked at Komon with a serious face, and after a while he returned to the operations room first.

"Be careful, it will be too late to do anything when you are swallowed by darkness."

"Yes."

Gu Men's face changed slightly, and countless dark images suddenly flashed through his mind. He looked into Goroki Shinya's cold eyes again across time and space.

Is it dark?
But it was also the light that chose him.

He was absolutely sure of this.

The belief that this light conveyed to him was much clearer than that conveyed by Mr. Himeya.

It is the light that brings hope and new life.

"The solitary member."

Ishihori Mitsuhiko, a member of the same team, passed by with a cup of coffee and looked curiously at Komon who had gotten out of his slump.

"Everything is alright? I saw you were called in for questioning."

"It's okay, the officers just want to know some information." Komon came back to his senses and smiled at Ishihori Mitsuhiko. When he first joined the Night Raid Team, only Ishihori gave him a good impression. The others, especially the instructor Nishijo Fuu and another female team member, were a complete source of pressure.

"Glad you're back," Ishihori Mitsuhiko took a sip of coffee, "When you were away, our A Squad even had fewer opportunities to go on missions."

"Buzz!"

Natsukawa's glowing figure gathered in Gumen's spiritual world, and his attention was completely attracted by Ishihori Mitsuhiko.

"Who is he?"

"It's Ishihori-senpai," Imon watched Ishihori Mitsuhiko walk away, smiling and responding in his heart, "He is the technical expert of our team, and he always has a special understanding of alien beasts."

"Don't interact with him too much."

Xia Chuan seemed to see the darkness of the abyss.

The other party is the "unknown hand" within the hidden defense organization, the future Zaki.

"Eh? Why?" Gu Men asked blankly, "Ishihori-senpai, is there anything wrong?"

"He's very smart. Just think of it as keeping a secret for me," Xia Chuan explained casually, "If my existence is exposed, your situation will be very bad. You should be familiar with the organization's style after such a long time."

Ikki Komon is not good at hiding himself, and knowing Ishihori Mitsuhiko's identity will only make things worse.

"I see."

Gu Men recalled the physical examination the organization had conducted on him, and nodded cautiously with lingering fear.

"I will be extremely careful next time."

"Just be normal."

Xia Chuan shook his head secretly.

This copy also feels very different from the "Ultraman Nexus" he knows. For example, the top leaders of the organization just now seem to have an extremely deep understanding of Ultraman and Light. The code name "Nexus", which means "bond", also appears early on.

Before questioning Komon, the three of them discussed in secret the first Ultraman "Shunichi Maki" who transformed into Ultraman five years ago, and provided him with a lot of information.

The visitors anticipated from the beginning that the light would be passed on, so a special file was established for the Japanese screening.

Almost all the fit people were sucked into the organization. As an ordinary rescue policeman, Gu Men was able to join the night attack team even though his training performance was poor. One of the reasons was that his fitness value was far higher than that of ordinary people.

Although they did not ask directly, the three senior executives still suspected that Komon had become the successor and might become the new Ultraman in the future.

This is also the reason why Ishihori Mitsuhiko came to contact Komon.

This base has almost become a sieve. All secrets are exposed under the nose of darkness. The intelligence system is completely serving the darkness.

There was nothing else to worry about, but he didn't want to be exposed to the darkness right now, at least he couldn't be on the other side's death list.

In the current instance, he has almost no escape route.

If possible, he didn't even want Komon to stay in the Night Raid Team.

Now we can only accumulate strength as quickly as possible, try to protect ourselves before the darkness resurrects, and then find a way to other Ultra copies.

"Lypia."

Gu Men unknowingly walked to the edge of the dam above the base, looked at the ripples on the tranquil reservoir, sat down on the bank facing the wind, and gently rubbed the handmade pendant left by his girlfriend before she died, a slightly crude animal figurine "amulet".

"Thank you."

"Hmm?" Xia Chuan unexpectedly felt the emotional power transmitted by Gu Men, and the flashing timer instantly returned to fullness.

"When I saved that girl, I understood a lot of things."

Gu Men took a deep breath and clenched his palms.

"The pain of the past is proof that Lizi and I have been through it together. I will no longer move forward with confusion. I will work hard for others and live with Lizi. The past cannot be changed, but the future can be."

"maybe."

Xiachuan turned his head and the giant disappeared again.

Once the lord of the knight world, he was able to change the past and even restart time and space, but now his level is totally insufficient.

Although they are both copies, the level of Ultra Universe is obviously extraordinary, and it may even be as good as the real world.

What is the reality now?
