i'm really only human

Chapter 575 Escape
"Hoohoo!"

The sound of rapid breathing echoed through the city streets late at night.

Goromu Shinya quickly walked through the crowd and ran onto the river bridge, with a series of urgent scenes flashing through his mind.

In just a few days, this once high-spirited warrior had completely changed his appearance. His beard was unkempt and he looked like a beggar. Only his eyes were still sharp, but they also contained a bit of fear and uneasiness.

"What's going on? Why should I run away?"

"over there!"

"call!"

Several night attack teams and MP police were all mixed in with the pedestrians, gradually forming an encirclement. In addition, there was an indescribable life-and-death crisis.

Strange yet familiar...

"Buzz!"

As a black car passed by, Goroki Shinya's body was shocked and his eyes were fixed on the face of the young man that appeared when the car window was rolled down.

The other person's silent lip movements seemed to be saying "goodbye".

"you……"

"boom--!"

Goroki Shinya's eyes widened as his back was suddenly pierced by an energy beam. His blood spurted out and evaporated. As the young man sneered, he fell off the bridge and plunged into the water.

"Who fired the shot?!"

"Asshole, catch him alive! Save him!"

"Gululu!"

The splash disappeared.

Goroki Shinya continued to sink like a stone statue, his face dull. Perhaps it was because his life had come to the end, and his lost memories emerged along with a series of bubbles in the water.

"You're a puppet!"

"It's just a consumable item..."

"I see."

Goroki Shinya's eyes gradually became clear, but were soon filled with great pain.

He who claims to be the elite of mankind is so vulnerable in the face of darkness.

"But……"

"Wow!"

A faint glow spread from the bottom of the water, and was penetrated by the holes of the high-energy light beam and integrated into the healing factors. The phase fluctuated, and it instantly transported Goroki Shinya to the outskirts of the city.

Soon, several soldiers jumped into the water, and the searchlights repeatedly swept over the source of the bubbles.

"Have you found Goroki?"

"Nothing at all?"

"Keep looking! Don't miss any riverbank or upstream or downstream!"

Manager Matsunaga clutched the guardrail tightly, looking rather exasperated, and subconsciously thought of the darkness lurking within the organization.

"Damn it, how dare they silence me at this time!"

Listening to the continuous reports around him, Matsunaga felt a dull pain in his heart, as if he had also fallen into the dark river below. The huge feeling of powerlessness made it impossible for him to breathe.

The last time I felt this way was when my wife was murdered in the Shinjuku incident five years ago.

In front of these alien life forms, humans are always so weak.

Since Ultraman knew about their little moves, Darkness was obviously well aware of it as well.

"How can we deal with these guys?"

……

Early morning, Okuno Town, Kanagawa.

"Wow--!"

Goroki Makoto also spat out a mouthful of blood and rolled down among the grass, his body covered with wet maple leaves and dirt. In his hazy consciousness, he vaguely saw Xiachuan's glowing figure approaching. He struggled to get up, but found that it was just a little girl who was peeking around.

She is carrying a small red schoolbag, seemingly ready to go to school, and the pigtails draped over her shoulders look somewhat familiar.

"You are……"

Mizoroki's pupils dilated, and the memories of the first stage of the game resurfaced in his mind.

It was a family of four that was originally chosen to play with Gu Men.

"Riko!"

A slightly haggard and elderly woman rode a bicycle through the tunnel.

"What are you doing there? You're going to be late if you don't hurry up!"

"Mom, here..."

The girl turned her head and wanted to explain the situation, but she found that Goromu was suddenly gone. She tilted her head in confusion.

"There was an injured uncle here just now." "Really?" The woman took a look and said, "I'll ask someone later."

"rustle!"

Gorumujin also hid behind the road sign with his back against a big tree. He took a breath and did not dare to stay for long. He gritted his teeth and ran into the depths of the woods while enduring the pain.

The penetrating wound has almost recovered after one night, but the body is still weak, so it’s best to find something to eat.

But just now...

"That family's memories were wiped."

Xia Chuan's shadow solidified, and he calmly looked at Goroki in front of him, who seemed to be at his wit's end.

"My father was not saved in the end. It was disguised as a car accident."

"Who?!"

Goroki stepped back in shock, and his expression changed again after seeing Xiachuan's figure clearly.

The experiences during his amnesia period concerned him more than the memory of being a puppet.

"You saved me?"

"The only one who can save you is yourself. You don't have much time."

Xiachuan virtualized his arm and passed through the trees.

It seems that we can carry out short-term activities with Mizoroki Shinya as the node, but there is not much that can be done, and the core is still Komon.

"What exactly do you want to do?" Goromu couldn't help but feel nervous, and cold sweat ran down his haggard face.

When he was a puppet, he treated Komon as a plaything. Is it his turn now?
"Kill me if you want! I will never be your puppet again!"

"I just wanted to see what was possible for humans."

Xia Chuan turned his head and looked towards the bottom of the mountain.

An MP black car drove into the tunnel. At the same time, a Chester fighter with an optical stealth system activated arrived in the mountains.

It seems no coincidence that Goromujin also came here.

This place has the aura of active alien beasts.

"What possibility?" Goroki Makoto also sensed something and asked anxiously, but was surprised to see Xiachuan disappear like mist.

Looking through the fog, the familiar figure of the young man came into view again, and the Mephisto "Dark Evolver" held in the other's hand was like a sharp thorn.

"You are... Misawa from MP?"

"Now I have joined the A-Team of the Night Raid Team."

Hiroyuki Misawa raised the Dark Evolver with an ugly look on his face.

"You are not dead yet, do you still have strength in your body?"

"boom!"

Tokyo Joonan Amusement Park.

Komon brought breakfast to visit Chishu Rei, and the scene of Okuno Town appeared in his mind at the same time. When he found out about the current situation of Mizoroki, he couldn't help but be slightly distracted.

No matter what, it was Goroki who killed his girlfriend's family, so it is difficult to completely ignore it.

I just didn't expect that the once terrifying Goroki would become like this.

"No, we have to save him quickly!" Gu Men had a complicated expression. He gritted his teeth and finally clenched his fist and put down the breakfast.

"Don't you hate him?" Qian Shulian asked in surprise, "Gorumi should be your enemy, right?"

“It has nothing to do with hatred.”

Gu Men lowered his head and gently pinched the King's Ring, took a deep breath and made up his mind.

"Goroki is just a puppet. There is no point in seeking revenge on him... I have something I must carry out now!"

"You're really weird, but maybe that's why Mr. Kan'ei chose you?"

Qian Shulian followed with a smile.

"Then I'll go too!"

"You have obtained the light?" Gu Men looked back in surprise.

"Not yet, I just feel that I must do something."

Qian Shulian's expression looked a little unnatural.

He was tested again today and the value doubled from before, indicating that his physical condition has further deteriorated.

If he doesn't hurry up, he might not even have the chance to transform into Ultraman.

"Alright."

Gu Men thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Keeping Qian Shulian by my side will save me from worrying all the time, and I will always be able to take action if anything happens.
