Chapter 834: This team is totally a generation gap!

~9 min read 1,614 words

As everyone knows, Seventh Uncle, that is UltraSeven/Ultraman Seven, although he is quite extreme in the kin-faction Ultraman, but in expressing human feelings, he mostly stayed in the early stage on Earth.

This stage is called the TV main series (crossed out).

This early stage also gave him a great influence.

After the early stage, he demonstrated what Jeep special training was on the Leo set, highlighting strictness and ferocity.

This stage cannot be said to have lost human feeling; it's only that the gentleness shown early gradually faded, and the gentleness after that was all left to Mebius (x).

As a result, Sai Luo, as the biological son, experienced a fatherly love tinged with some strictness.

Even from the start, Ultraman Seven concealed his father's identity; their early sparring was merely senior and junior, and when Sai Luo got into trouble, Ultraman Seven caught him red-handed and sent him to juvenile detention.

Even after Longchang's awakening returned, saving the homeland and the group, achieving father-son recognition, Ultraman Seven's attitude toward Sai Luo could not be called affectionate, at best slightly gentle.

He seemed determined to maintain the strict father persona to the end.

And although Sai Luo's delinquent youth persona was weakened in juvenile detention, it's not his father's fault for being reserved; this big-hearted kid still went about his days as usual, and didn't even specially go to chat with his father.

After forming his own guard unit, he would wander out every few days, stronger than ordinary drifters only by having an official roster.

His wandering also took him to alien planets; with difficulty coming to Earth once, it was just a cameo fight, until Jie De's story began, he was considered stationed on Earth for a period—only a period.

And with Yi He Li making people of one heart and mind, after experiencing the feelings and perspective of being an elder and a father, although it let him become much more mature and steady, he obviously did not directly become a human walking Earth as a father did back then with that freedom.

The result was that his understanding of Earth's culture was rather one-sided.

The experience of raising daughters gave him plenty of observation, but when it came to boys…

Lacking experience, he just took reference from his past self!

His past self was fighting Belial!

Now Jie De is fighting Belial!

His past self had sharp eyes!

Now Jie De's eyes are terrifying!

His past self feared no battle!

Now Jie De goes into battle decisively!

Good heavens! This is practically me from back then. jpg

His past self showed no mercy toward evil! So now Jie De is also being commanded by himself to personally arrest people from the past!

What's the problem with that!

It's easy to imagine that, aside from Uncle Zoffy, all the uncles who have trained on Earth, including his father, entrusted him with some advice regarding Jie De, all carrying a certain unrealistic expectation.

Especially hearing that Jie De, this polite and well-behaved child, grew up on Earth from childhood, while Sai Luo, during his time on Earth in human form, was a man with a wife and daughter; after returning, his overall demeanor indeed became somewhat more steady…

They also trusted Sai Luo's ability, believing this child could certainly guide another child, guiding that child so that he would not lose direction due to the environment and cultural shock of another world.

So what's the problem with that!

Even the enthusiastic heart mentioned by Uncle Ace hasn't changed!

Walking through the night-lit building corridor, which is also a local branch office, in this environment that should call for vigilance, Sai Luo still dwelled on the matter from just a dozen minutes ago.

It all stems from Aomo's strange rhetorical question, and when he asked it, the other party's regretting, pitying gaze.

Especially when I turned around and asked him what he meant, that guy again gave a lazy, unwilling-to-say-more look and said, "Nothing, let's just focus on action."

Doesn't that instead make him more concerned!

It made it seem as if I had done something wrong, and Sai Luo was especially unhappy with this feeling.

"Hey, Jie Si Ti Si, I let Jie De drag that android out—what's wrong with that?"

"Huh? Sai Luo instructor, we're currently on a covert operation!" the super agent beside him found it hard to speak, wanting to shout but lowering his voice.

Moreover, this is asking about some trivial matter.

"I know, I sensed that no one was working overtime along this route."

"But there's still the possibility of being eavesdropped by machinery!"

"You didn't infiltrate the machinery monitoring this place, did you?"

"I'm not a super agent specialized in electronics, so there might be oversights!"

"Then keep it quiet," Sai Luo lowered his voice, "and then answer my previous question—letting Jie De drag that android out isn't wrong, is it?"

"Yes, Mr. Lu's performance was unexpectedly efficient; sending him to do this was a necessary talent scouting."

"That's right," I hadn't expected the other party to come up with a reason I hadn't thought of; Sai Luo responded ambiguously, "Aomo's guy made it seem as if I had done something wrong, and even brought Jie De over to his side."

"Uh… yeah…" Since Jie De was taken over, the super agent acting as a substitute following Sai Luo ambiguously responded.

Although he didn't really want to go along with this instructor who once gave him psychological trauma, hearing that it sounded like they wanted to replace him, shouldn't he be angry?

After thinking about that big steamroller, he felt he wasn't that angry.

"However, is this building's internal space expansion a bit over the top?" After receiving agreement from his companions, Sai Luo thus put the matter behind him, turned to look at the corridor of this science park building, and then turned his head to look out the floor-to-ceiling window at the corridor design resembling a whirlpool.

What seemed like an obvious architectural layout, under his pair of dry 'Ultraman Eyes', presented an overlapping expansion enough to make one dizzy, like the cables in a machine room, and without paying attention one could even fail to distinguish the front and back connections of the passage.

Although seen online and verified with Aomo—that this planet's civilization's technology for utilizing space research had already become widespread in civilian use—but even a science park building twisted like this still struck him as rather absurd.

"Under normal circumstances it indeed wouldn't be this excessive"—a voice suddenly interjected in his mind.

At the same time, in one of the overlapping corridors beneath the Ultraman Eye, a red light flickered briefly.

It let Sai Luo clearly see the speaker who was looking up toward this direction.

"Monster Fever Sci-Tech Park, a single building housing the headquarters and branches of over six hundred different companies—this place is famous, famous to the point that when you say its name I was stunned."

That was Aomo walking past the corridor with Xiao Lu, not hiding his demonic eyes at all, which didn't make the former frequently look up.

Although it wasn't the first time seeing him, Xiao Lu never had the chance to closely examine Aomo in this state.

He had often felt that Aomo possessed a cold, sinister, terrifying aura like his father's, but whenever he had the chance to observe slowly, he increasingly realized that this fear-inducing quality did not seem to stem from the monster itself.

Aomo lacked his father's scorching anger and greed; he was calm, more like an ice block, and therefore should not inspire fear.

But he truly would feel tense about the other's state, his whole body tight as if he could jump high and far at any moment, making him start to feel estranged from himself.

It also let the other's sharp eyes sweep over his gaze that he wanted to avoid.

"Do I need to hold back? Xiao Lu."

"No, not needed…… I'm trying to adapt, and I want to figure out why Aomo-san can make me panic."

"You don't understand, yet you panic subconsciously?"

"Hmm."

"Have you ever seen me like this before?"

"No, but there was a moment when it felt like my… father."

"I consider my personality to be very different from Beiliya Aoteman's."

"Yes, yeah," Xiao Lu also felt a bit embarrassed, "Not at all alike."

"But you are indeed afraid, either mentally or based on genetics, like something deep-seated lingering that can trigger your instinctive response."

"Eh?"

"It's a topic worth clarifying, but not suitable for now, Jie Si Ti Si, have you found the room matching the biometric human data password lock? In this building I can even see my friend's workstation."

The Laiyin Life sign, with its + and - symbols wrapped in a Möbius ring, hung just outside the door that he and Xiao Lu had flung behind them.

Light seeped through the cracks in the doors and windows, showing that someone was working late.

Seeing him already not very energetic made him even sleepier; this bunch had dragged him out in the middle of the night just to go infiltrate together and have him devise a plan of action—something they could easily discuss among themselves.

"Almost done, the building's main system has several squads of Digital Monsters guarding it, and I'm already challenging the last squad!"

"Oh," Aomo yawned, "then be careful."

"No need! I've got it! Room 427, the seventh mainframe of Abo Monster Ltd., has that artificial human's contact trace, the basic-level security ID is… Gilbalis?"

"???"

For a moment, the threefold doubt pointed to the sole super agent insensitive to that name.
