Chapter 884: No．7：This way isn

No．7：This way isn't right, is it?

"Lei Bulang Duo, do you have any thoughts?"

After enduring the scorching summer, autumn in Tokyo Metropolis seemed to bring a long-awaited breather; whether pedestrians on the street or traffic on the roads, there were noticeably more than before.

Human flow determines a city's character; on those crowded streets, simply standing still evokes a feeling that all things are fleeting like passing light.

Aomo Lindun is just such a person standing in place.

He wore that snake-pattern suit substituting for protective gear, standing at the edge of the already-green crosswalk, also at the edge of the flowing crowd, like a corporate drone who's lost his life's purpose, to the point of muttering to himself about cards.

Yes, the card.

The tip of his raised black glove pinched a thin card.

The card face, originally blank, showed a monster capsule the moment he lifted it, within which a dark outline like a hookworm writhed.

That was a Lei Bulang Duo alien.

The Lei Bulang Duo alien that should have been sentenced to hundreds of millions of years in prison.

Immortal as it was, it had not been shattered by the initial concentration of light fire, nor could it be sealed in a monster card or a monster capsule.

In fact, whether card or capsule, they are merely a display terminal.

The true Lei Bulang Duo was sealed and split into two parts; a large part was imprisoned in the Universe Prison hastily constructed by the Light Country Office, while the smaller part was suppressed within Aomo's soul.

Only pure light, or another equal darkness, can suppress darkness.

But probably because everyone's light‑washing effect was too strong, or perhaps because the split fragment contained little substance, so Lei Bulang Duo has remained obedient within Aomo's soul.

Obedient to the point of resembling its half‑dead state, like a corpse.

Aomo once wondered if it wanted to gain a roundabout victory by being digested by his own darkness and then interfering from within, but for now, those hardened dark beasts in his heart have no desire to eat Lei Bulang Duo at all.

He simply used that small fragment of Lei Bulang Duo as a target, a football, a rugby ball, a basketball, and a chew toy.

It's hard to imagine this was once the cosmic overlord.

As a humanoid prison and also its warden, Aomo is always open‑minded, every few days letting Lei Bulang Duo get some fresh air by displaying it in the container (the card‑stacked capsule).

For these long‑lived species that measure time in millions of years, getting to go out every few days is basically top‑tier treatment.

But alas, a corpse won't want to speak.

So Aomo ultimately could only put away that specially crafted blank card, then put on headphones and survey this gloomy world.

Intermittent human voices sounded in his ears, making Aomo's expression turn strange as he looked at the track named 《Overdose》 displayed on the light screen.

This was still the choreography demonstrated with a roar back when they were at KTV; playing it evoked only a subtle embarrassment, which he swapped with a flick of his finger for……

《ヒアソビ》/Playing with Fire.

Then came……

《ワンルーム? オール? ザット? ジャズ》

Another dance‑demo track—how did the playlist get contaminated with dance music!

Aomo silently focused on swiping the screen, replaced the whole playlist, and manually played 《dynapiano01A》.

The eerie piano sound, both the music from the Electromechanical King set and a tune previously used by Neo‑Ultram, fits perfectly in this subtle realm.

Data space……?

For a moment, the demon wasn't sure.

This realm lacks the slight lag typical of electronic worlds due to bandwidth limits; even the means of arrival isn't via computer but through computation by Jierbalisi—the four‑dimensional monster Buludun.

The red‑blue meteorite used to press pickles, which Aomo had temporarily entrusted to Yabulu, is likewise a monster and thus affected by Aomo's "mark," yet it is quite a special existence.

Callable a Universe Toilet, it emits strange vibrations from its cilia, which then produce links between different spaces—it itself is a monster directly connected to the fourth dimension, able to easily cross the barriers between universes.

Back then, Lei Bulang Duo could use it to summon monsters from anywhere in the world and even other realms at will; its card had also been used by the cosmic witch thief Mulunaao (the antagonist of the Orb movie) as a tool for traversing universal dimensions.

Such a positive‑negative use is truly the most straightforward revelation of value.

Although controlling a living being is harder than a card, with Jierbalisi assisting in tuning the parameters, this scene can be created.

It seems like a normal world, yet feels constrained by some framework; in this respect it indeed resembles a digital world.

"Hey hey? Can you hear me, Sai Luo?" he raised two fingers to the earphones, pretending he was just making a phone call.

Actually, it was by using Jierbalisi's monster card to boost the disguised state of Jialatelong (the signal antenna) that inter‑universal communication was carried out.

"There's some noise, but for now I can make it out."

Even the Sai family young master with Ultraman hearing says 'for now,' showing that the interference on long‑range inter‑universal signals is truly not ordinary strong.

"I've arrived safely; let the others rest easy."

"All right, Jie De happens to be asking about your condition."

"He's not even focusing on training his milk bath?"

"That coming from your mouth is really subtle; clearly you've temporarily put that reddish‑haired underling in charge of the ace‑card girl."

"Gechengwangpai is a well‑known escape horse and lead horse, far more suitable for educating Bourbon than Qianming is."

"I don't understand!"

"You, who get along well with that Weiguangfeiju classmate, can try to understand."

"Never mind; I've learned from Zeta and Jie Si Ti Si that one must be wary of those who call you 'master.'"

"Can I record this and play it for Mr. Zeta?"

"You little brat……!" the other side fell silent as if choking, then raised his voice a few degrees: "Zeta won't come over! You've got no chance!"

"Sai Luo," Aomo rubbed the bridge of his nose, "I too have gleaned a principle from these recent events."

"What principle?"

"That is, future affairs should never be hastily concluded; watch out for boomerangs," he said solemnly, "you must revere the boomerang, Sai Luo Ultraman."

"You think putting on this grave tone can fool people?"

"People's words are fearsome; this is a saying I highly recommend."

You've gotten used to pretending to be Mefilas?

I just think this way of speaking is very suitable for communicating with you all, who are both transmigrants and cosmic beings.

That's true.

It can both feign erudition and leave the other side baffled.

Hey!

The only flaw is that Lipiya's stare at me is hard to ignore.

Isn't that natural?

You're right, then could you help me connect to Jie Si Ti Si? Seeing the beast, like an ox and a qilin, hurled from five meters above by a fierce wind from the sky, Aomo calmly asked amidst the gale, shouts, and muffled thuds.

Incidentally, he raised his hand, a fleeting illusory black demon claw, stabilizing the distant black-haired girl whose cry reminded him of Rudolf.

The girl steadied herself in astonishment, looking around in panic, yet also failed to notice the distant figure in a black suit, the youth gazing at the flying beast.

BULLBINED/Buerbaiyinde

The falling flowers and flowing water monster, sacred and bizarre coexisting, a four-legged giant beast 20–30 meters tall, according to data Aomo looked up, its designer in the work is also the designer of Ultraman Sigma: Hideyo Okamoto.

The monster in the 4S Electric Light Machine King differs from that in the 4S Ultraman.

The monster here is born from human hearts, not sculpted by the 'Creator'.

Therefore, to understand the monster's setting, it's actually the creators' design interviews that are far richer than the TV portrayal.

You found him so quickly? I said from the start we might as well let him come with you.

Sai Luo showed no sign of hearing the noise and chaos here, demonstrating the terminal microphone's excellent sound pickup and noise reduction.

You also know his combat ability is rather awkward; such a high-risk field investigation task isn't suitable for him, otherwise I'd bring both him and Bi Ze.

Although Bi Ze should be in class right now.

Compared to Aomo's approach of directly asking a big shot to cover his classes, getting a leave slip in the senior year rocket class is not easy.

However, sneaking phone use during class always finds a way!

As long as you can achieve this, joining the livestream audiovisual team isn't difficult.

But the current signal is really too poor; video push streaming can't be achieved, and audio push streaming is also intermittent.

Moreover, the initial reconnaissance points aren't the real targets; only when the target world is truly confirmed is it time for everyone to team up.

"What did you say?" Sai Luo asked, like a proxy death god.

"I said! Wait!"

Aomo, who could pause and raise his volume to express, seeing the divine martial monster fall to the ground, unable to rise for a moment, turned his head to the other side.

Perhaps limited by the view obstructed by buildings, he didn't see the expected dark red machinery.

"You say… static… what… static…"

"…"

And the suddenly deteriorating communication signal made him instinctively take off one earpiece to examine.

Then he also looked toward the other side, the far distance without building obstruction.

There, there should have been a figure standing with optical camouflage, but he could confirm the location of Galatron using the Gilbaris card.

None.

Was it attacked?

Aomo, who almost instantly drew that conclusion, stared at the one-sided sky blocked by buildings.

He had expected to see mechanical monster parts labeled Ultraman, or a complete fused dragon person Ultraman Zeno, but what first appeared in his field of view was surprisingly a huge flesh-and-blood body.

The flesh-and-blood body composed of the parts of Gorgon, Melba, Lechubas, Eye Q, and Super Gub was so familiar, occupying the highest fusion boss appearance rate from Heisei to Reiwa—King Faybu.

Collectively known as the Five Emperor Kings.

As it stepped over, Aomo also lowered his head, looking at the position of the card box he carried.

All the monster cards were violently trembling at this moment.
