Ultraman Light and Shadow Traveler

Chapter 280 Weaknesses
Early the next morning, Himeya Jun contacted Gumen and made an appointment to accompany him to meet Saitian Riko.

And Gumen also asked for leave from the night raid team. With a nervous mood, he made an appointment with Lizi to visit her house. Last time he failed to go because of an urgent mission, but this time, Gumen will go no matter what.

After getting rid of the control of Dark Mephisto, Saitian Riko is now in a state of amnesia, and she doesn't remember anything before the "car accident".

From the voice heard on the phone, Lizi seemed to be the same Lizi as before, but Gumen Kazuki, who knew the truth, felt very complicated.

She is being manipulated like a puppet, and her memories, experiences, and life are all fake.

So what is real?
After seeing the alien beast, the people whose memories were erased by TLT's memory police meant that everything they had experienced before was also erased. That period of life was controlled, which made Gumen feel terrible.

Because the truth is buried, what you see is what others let you see, and the reality of the world is covered up by falsehood.

Lizi had already been killed by a strange beast, was manipulated by Dark Mephisto to become Dark Faust, and lost her self-awareness. Even if she got rid of the shadow of Dark Faust now, the truth was still covered up, and she didn't know anything , memory is also fabricated.

This is the puppet... because of him.

"Lonely door!"

The sudden shout brought Gumen Ikki, who was in a daze, back to his senses, and in front of him was a brown-black door panel.

As if suddenly returning to the real world, Gumen regained the feeling of breathing.

But it's about to be seen, how should he face it?

His face was pale and completely lost his soul, which made Himiya Jun, who accompanied him out of worry, a little doubt that Koto Kazuki was the one who was made into a doll.

It was this appearance that made him feel uneasy, so Hime Yasuo was waiting for him here early in the morning, and at the same time came to check in advance to make sure that Dark Mephisto was not in ambush.

Thinking of the conversation with Zhuiyu yesterday, Himeya restrained his emotions, made up his mind, and said seriously: "Don't fall into the darkness, Gumen, use your courage to face it rationally!"

But the courage is all given by Lizi.

Koto Kazuki pursed his lips, raised his hand and knocked on the door, but he didn't drop his fist after a long pause, and Himeya waited patiently for him.

After a while, Gumen took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

"Knock knock knock..."

"Please wait."

There was a gentle and crisp response from the room, followed by the sound of slippers touching the floor.

With the sound of footsteps approaching the door, the door hadn't opened yet, but Saitian Riko's slightly joyful voice came from the opposite side: "Gumen lord, are you here?"

With a click, the door opened, and Guto Kakki who was standing outside the door smiled uncomfortably.

"Lizi?"

It was the same as what I saw before, Lizi was as gentle as usual with a small playful smile, real and beautiful, without the slightest haze, those eyes would look at him seriously, and then call out.

"Lonely Lord?"

……

On the street below the apartment, at the corner stood a person hidden in the darkness, watching the building that Koto Kakki entered.

After observing for a while, she turned on the display screen in her hand, and the message of Saitian Riko appeared on it.

"Just to meet your girlfriend?" With a voice of disbelief, Nagi Saijo turned off Bereg, feeling that she was wasting her time.

After knowing that Mizoroki was also in contact with Komon Kazuki, Nagi Saijo didn't think that man would let him go like this.

It happened that Gumen asked for leave today, and his expression and attitude were still vague. Nagi Saijo's intuition was wrong, and he followed suit after asking for leave.

In the end, this kid just came to someone's house for a date?

Hmm... No, Nagi Saijo narrowed her eyes slightly.

Why does the date have such an uneasy expression? It's not so much a date as it is a special visit to confirm something.

Nagi Saijo thought about it, and opened Bereg again to check Saitian Riko's information. After looking carefully, she found something strange. The Saitian family had a car accident in a tunnel a few months ago, and her parents and younger brother were killed. Only she survived, but lost that memory.

"Wait, that's the case...!" Nagi Saijo suddenly thought of the fact that when she was a child, all her family members were killed by strange beasts in front of her.

Likewise, the most important people are jeopardized.

That message...was a warning to Koto Kazuki?Then the same pain, did Mizoroki really try to reproduce it in Koto Kakki?

Nagi Saijo clenched her fists tightly, with uncontrollable hatred in her eyes.

……

In the apartment, the house that was once dusty and filled with scary paintings was cleaned up by the three big men, so when the lonely door came, it was not hit by the despair and darkness of Saitian Lizi's inner world, and her heart escaped. .

From the uneasiness before meeting Lizi at the beginning, Gumen's mood has calmed down a lot after talking now, because Hime Yasuo said that Lizi still has consciousness left, but she will lose her self-consciousness when she becomes Dark Faust That's all, but in normal times, she is still the real Lizi.

The courage and encouragement Gumen felt from Saitian Riko is not false.

This also proves that the relationship between them is real, Gumen is not really falling in love with a manipulative puppet... Well, the soul is comforted again.

Seeing Koto Kazuki's recovery, Himeya Jun also felt relieved, maybe he would still be a little bit grumpy, but at least he wouldn't collapse.

However, the moment he breathed a sigh of relief, he suddenly sensed something that made him turn his head to look into the void. His vision seemed to penetrate the wall, and he saw the beast lurking in the darkness far away.

Himeya Jun immediately stood up and said, "Gumon, I'm leaving first."

"Huh? What's the matter? Mr. Himeya..." Gumen who was staring at Lizi's back came back to his senses and asked quickly, but Himeya didn't answer, got up and opened the door and left quickly, unbelievably fast.

In the blink of an eye, there was only the lonely door with one hand outstretched in the living room, and he realized after a while, frowning and thinking: "Could it be that a strange beast appeared?"

The only reason why Himeya Jun left so eagerly without saying anything was to fight. As an Ultraman, Himeya Jun was constantly fighting with alien beasts.

"Huh? Gumen-kun, what's the matter, where is that Mr. Himeya?" Saita Riko came out of the kitchen with the cut fruit, and saw Gumen Kazuki standing in front of the sofa in a daze.

"Lizi..." Gumen came back to his senses, looked at Lizi who was smiling sweetly in front of him, and subconsciously glanced at her injured left calf.

The sensitive Saitian Riko noticed his expression. In fact, since Gumen came here, Gumen has been absent-minded, frightened and uneasy, pretending to be a lot of thoughts, and she knows it.

Lizi put down the fruit plate, and said with a smile: "If it's work, then go, I'm fine, really, it's just accidentally scratched, why is Mr. Gumen so worried~"

"No, I..." Gumen opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.

Although it is true that he should return to the team after the appearance of the alien beast, the problem is that the night raid team has not yet received an order...

Himeya Jun has already sensed the alien beast, so the information operations center should have also captured the shock wave, but there is no order for him to return to the team.

Gumen didn't doubt Himiya Zhuo's sensitivity to alien beasts, but the current situation made him feel a little uneasy.

Thinking of the mysterious message from yesterday, Gumen didn't want to leave Lizi's side.

　The short title of two words is so fragrant!
