Ultraman Light and Shadow Traveler

Chapter 637 Extraneous Talk: The Lights of Thousands of Houses Behind Him
This is not Kanos's collection of episodes.

This is a whim, a spin-off of Nexus, who is Zhungehong.

But it also has nothing to do with the text, if you are not interested, you can choose not to read it!
It might be a bit boring, but it's a flash of inspiration.

……

……

That is after becoming a god-like figure.

In the barren ruins, a desolate man covered in injuries caught the falling light.

The darkness was behind him, baring its teeth and claws as if it was about to choose someone to devour the ancient monster. The darkness also spread in his heart, entangled him and held him in place, unable to escape, even if he stretched out his hand and tried to catch the light.

But he was still in the dark.

Why fight?

Maybe it was to punish myself for turning a blind eye to the disappearance of countless lives.

He spread the shadow of death.

Fear, cursing, and all kinds of negative public opinion have been spread, and people's darkness has rushed to the sky, making the world seem more dizzy in sight.

Even though the light of this world is everywhere, it is as dim as if covered by a shadow.

Can't see anything.

Holding the only shining light source tightly in his hand, he lowered his head and glanced, and continued to walk after the red light turned green.

Facing the scorching sun, he moved aimlessly with the crowd in a daze, as if he could collapse from heatstroke at any time, so fragile.

Until the light in the hand warns.

He knew that the time for redemption had come again.

Maybe it was just fighting with such thoughts at first, so no matter what damage I suffered, I was indifferent to it.

The darkness in his heart kept shouting, "Aren't you dead yet, do you want to continue fighting?" But since it wasn't over, he kept clenching his fists and blocked in front of those terrifying and ferocious monsters.

These behemoths have a posture that can awaken fear in everyone's hearts, a terrifying huge body, and ferocious and sharp giant claws.

He has to face all these, all these terrible things.

Just like on the battlefield where the war is raging, he holds the camera and hides behind the bushes and trees. When the people he photographed face the guns, the fear in their hearts may spread like facing these ferocious monsters.

He seeks the meaning of life.

At the beginning, I felt that the scene of trying my best to survive on the battlefield was an explosion of life.

But death after death was recorded.

In the face of fear, the scene of falling helplessly.

Is this what he was recording?
Don't know, but he's still filming.

Hiding in the dark, took pictures of everyone dying in front of them, and then stopped until the girl was frozen.

The girl who was as dazzling and beautiful as a ray of light, who once bloomed bright colors in his gloomy world, finally disappeared under his gaze.

……

Himeya dropped the camera in his hand in fear.

The body lost its strength and fell to the ground, and the whole person was like a person who had just been suffocated, panting heavily.

He looked at his trembling hand, and felt that it was covered with the blood of death, without any trace of life.

Those public opinions applauded him for taking such a risk to record such a sad and painful picture, but the world does not want to see such a life, such a cruel scene.

What is the meaning of life?
Whatever it is, it's definitely not like that, lying in darkness losing all color.

Weak humans are being bullied in this world, and the screams of fear in the face of alien beasts constantly stimulate his eardrums.

He gained light in the desperate situation, and then, with the thought of atonement, he passed through the fleeing crowd and rushed towards the darkness over there.

He's sinful, he's stained life with darkness.

He was guilty of letting that light no longer shine.

He's guilty, so he rushes to the gun.

At the end of the battle, his body was covered with bruises, and when he could no longer muster any strength, he felt that he could finally end.

He has blossomed his own life.

It has been redeemed.

However, the crisis ahead has not yet been resolved.

He could die easily, and with such a dazzling light, he could disappear with scars, but the darkness in front of him would not disappear because of his end.

If it's redemption, it's done here.

The light will be passed on by someone who is more suitable for it.

That's all for now.

No more fighting.

But I don't know when, he didn't want to just make atonement.

Stand in front of those terrible darkness, save those dazzling lives behind, and watch them bloom under the sun.

Is this the meaning of life?

Is this kind of life what he wants?
He was finally no longer a bystander, no longer indifferently witnessing the death of life.

In the painful battle, besides redemption, he also seemed to realize something new, the true meaning of gaining this power.

I am not willing to fall down like this anymore.

Even if the heart is exhausted, even if there are scars, even if there is no strength, even if you want to fall into the dark and sleep forever.

But if he falls down at this time, the light behind him will disappear again.

……

This is the hope called "Guardian".

In addition to atonement, he also wants to protect the world's still shining light, which comes from everyone's heart and has not been corroded by darkness.

In the endless painful battle, the girl walking in the light stretched out her hand to him, smiling and encouraging him to stand up.

Climb out from the darkness of "sin" and stride forward towards the hope ahead.

In the dark night, the sporadic lights are as bright as the starry sky.

That is the hope of human beings, the hidden light of human beings. Even though they are surrounded by darkness now, one day they will bloom again with a light comparable to the sun.

A single spark can also start a prairie fire.

So he opened his eyes again, and with the last bit of strength in his body, he stood in front of these sparks.

If I'm guilty, it's me holding back.

But this time, in the name of protection, he regained the posture of the Warrior of Light and fought again.

This light should not be dubbed the darkness of punishment, it clearly blooms from hope, it is the power to protect the world, it is the light that protects the spark.

So he won't take a step back.

It is inevitable, so even if you die, you will not shrink back, and you will not let go and die without protecting anything.

If you really want to die, you will sink with the darkness.

Himeya Jun used to fight only for "sin".

Now, he wants to fight for "protection".

This is far more dazzling light than what was obtained in the temple of the ruins at first.

……

When the time jumps to zero.

The man lying on the bed suddenly opened his eyes, sat up abruptly dripping with cold sweat, panting heavily.

He had a nightmare.

Looking at the evolution trustee who was placed on the table, the red light seemed to give him a lot of peace of mind, then he turned his head and looked at the scenery outside the window.

In the middle of the night, the only light is the stars in the sky and the lights in human towns.

Make up this flickering star in the dark night.

Having just had a dream, Himeya who suddenly woke up was still a little groggy.

At this time, the communicator on the table rang, and after answering automatically, a young male voice came out.

"Mr. Himeya, I'm sorry, a strange monster just appeared in the K area. We tried to attack but couldn't touch it at all. That... the night raid team may not be able to handle it..."

The young man's voice was very guilty.

After all, it wakes people up to work in the middle of the night.

Himeya Jun exhaled, calmed down his shortness of breath, and pressed the communicator to reply:
"I see, come here right away, be careful."

……

……

ps: There is a Japanese song called "Crimson".

But this song is not Nexus's, it's just that after I heard this song, I suddenly got inspiration.

I hope that when you are interested in listening to the song, don't go to the comment area to brush your opinion!
