Chapter 118

This description, how does it sound like... the balloon boat Choju 【Badbalon】 in "Ultraman Ace"?

It is a Choju synthesized from a balloon boat and a cosmic monster, usually disguised as a balloon boat, absorbing the souls of children riding the hot air balloon to strengthen itself.

Wait, absorbing souls?

"Officer Soldier Shan Zhong, is this the balloon boat emitting energy that you saw yesterday?" Qi Ming pulled Soldier Shan Zhong over.

Soldier Shan Zhong nodded: "This is it. It becomes obedient after riding it? They really dare to say anything for marketing."

"And it emits energy... It seems this thing is really a balloon boat Choju. Got it!" Qi Ming excitedly patted Soldier Shan Zhong's thigh.

This powerful blow made Soldier Shan Zhong scream, almost wanting to ask Moroboshi Dan what brand of crutch to buy.

"What's wrong?" The commotion here attracted everyone's attention.

After hitting Soldier Shan Zhong's thigh heavily, Qi Ming still didn't let Soldier Shan Zhong go; he shook Soldier Shan Zhong's brain desperately:

"When I treat you as a human, can you try to pretend to be one!"

"You dare to ignore such important things. I really want to beat your brains out!"

Moroboshi Dan hurriedly came over to be a peacemaker, asking what was going on.

Qi Ming: "Maybe there's a way to save Mayumi."

He said he had a plan, although there were many uncertain factors in it, it was worth a try.

Moroboshi Dan's eyes lit up: "What plan?"

Qi Ming: "Let the Choju separate the soul!"

He had Emi project the news picture onto the large screen, pointing to the balloon boat on it and saying it was a Choju.

"As long as you ride it, your soul will be devoured. Only after killing it can these souls be released."

"We can let Mayumi board the balloon boat, deposit her soul in the Super Beast's body first, and use the Super Beast's power to cut off the connection between her and Fumiga."

"This way, after Fumiga dies, she won't die along with it."

"After defeating Fumiga, then kill the balloon boat Super Beast and rescue her soul."

Aoki Jishu's eyes lit up: "This is indeed a way! Let the Choju and the cosmic monster fight it out!"

Saijo Nagi frowned: "Then if Mayumi's soul is sucked away by the Super Beast and Fumiga doesn't appear, neither the Super Beast nor the monster can be controlled by us. The risk is too great."

Qi Ming: "I understand, but now we can only treat a dead horse as a living horse."

Moroboshi Dan nodded: "Do your best."

He had everyone prepare, then quietly pulled Qi Ming aside, asking if the same method could be used to separate the three astronauts assimilated with Ligatron.

Qi Ming was helpless: "Do you think Ligatron, with this body size, can ride a balloon boat?"

On the other side, when Mayumi learned of this high-risk plan, she agreed without hesitation.

Taking a gamble is a life-and-death situation; not taking a gamble is certain death. Anyone knows how to choose.

"What about Takuma... I want to see him one more time before I leave." Mayumi was worried that she might not be able to come back after this trip.

Aoki Jishu: "Although we sent a special plane to pick him up, he is still some distance from Japan."

Saijo Nagi didn't want to wait any longer. Every second, children were having their souls taken away by the balloon boat Choju, and she urgently wanted to kill it.

"Indeed, we can't wait." Emi, holding a tablet, walked over, saying the balloon boat Choju caused too much of a commotion, attracting the Defense Force.

"Let's go over first." Qi Ming said.

At this time, everyone didn't know that besides the Defense Force, there was an even more heavyweight existence attracted by the balloon boat Choju.

When the Victory Team arrived under the balloon boat with Mayumi, they found it crowded with people.

A group of women brought their children to queue at the landing point. As soon as the balloon boat landed, they would scramble to send their children up.

"These guys, are they even worthy of being called mothers? Actively sending their children's vibrant souls to the Choju." Aoki Jishu looked at the women waiting expectantly below, full of disgust.

Soldier Shan Zhong, who kept rubbing his thigh, said: "I think for them, having children is just to have a few more slaves they can control."

Moroboshi Dan said we shouldn't blame such mothers too much. After all, they don't know the inside story; the wish to just make their children more obedient and sensible is understandable.

Saijo Nagi: "Clear the field first."

Aoki Jishu took out a loudspeaker and began to declare: "Everyone, leave here quickly. The balloon boat in the sky is a Choju!"

A woman smiled: "What Choju? Is the Victory Team daydreaming?"

Another woman also mocked: "Such a good thing, how could it be a Choju?"

"Could it be that you also want to ride it, so you want to trick us into leaving?"

Moroboshi Dan stepped forward with his crutch: "Everyone, what my officer said is true. The analysis results of the Victory Team can prove everything."

But no one listened at all.

In fact, these mothers also felt that it was a bit wrong for their children to suddenly become obedient, but it didn't matter; children being obedient and filial is the most important thing.

These mothers saw the balloon boat starting to descend and were immediately excited, bringing their children forward: "Let's go quickly, otherwise we won't make it!"

Aoki Jishu stopped someone: "Ma'am, don't go over, that's a Choju!"

"Get out of the way, let me pass, you idiot!" Aoki Jishu was pushed away roughly.

Saijo Nagi and Soldier Shan Zhong were also not going smoothly.

"Don't hinder me from educating my children!"

"How can there be parents in the world who do wrong things? We are all doing this for the children's own good!"

"Victory Team or whatever, stop meddling in other people's business, get out of here!"

Qi Ming looked at this scene, thinking it was really familiar.

In the original "Ace" series, these Showa unreasonable people treated the TAC team like this.

Aoki Jishu came to Qi Ming's side: "Qi Ming, this kind of situation really needs you to take action. After all... you have diplomatic immunity!"

Qi Ming took out the wooden baseball bat from last time: "No other way. For residents with demands, physical and mental education must be combined."

Moroboshi Dan hurriedly stepped forward to stop him: "What are you doing? Are Victory Team members going to beat ordinary citizens in broad daylight?"

Qi Ming thought it made a lot of sense, so he took off his helmet and took off his coat, throwing it to Soldier Shan Zhong, letting him hold it.

"It will take about three minutes to beat these people. I'll quit the team first and join back in three minutes." Qi Ming said.

Moroboshi Dan was numb: "That's not what I meant. I mean, can't you reason with them and persuade them with big principles?"

Saijo Nagi shook her head silently: "I don't think you can reason with these people."

Qi Ming sneered: "It's not that I can't act, it's that I don't want to waste my acting skills on these guys."

After saying this, he ignored Moroboshi Dan's retention and walked up with the stick.

Seeing that mother who had pushed Aoki Jishu earlier and said "Don't hinder me from educating my children!" felt that she was an ordinary citizen, and with so many people watching, these Victory Team members wouldn't dare to do anything to her, so she had already squeezed to the front.

To this, Qi Ming was not polite at all, going up and hitting her with a stick, causing her to see stars, let out a scream, and collapse on the ground.

"What are you doing? Stop hitting, it hurts, help, come and save me!" The pig-slaughtering wailing sound rang out.
