That night, a monster really attacked the yacht?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming began issuing a disclaimer, saying his information was for reference only and not necessarily 100 percent accurate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, in this chaotic world, the collision of various factors could produce unpredictable consequences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Kishida and Yamana prepared to visit the imprisoned Matsumoto Saburo the next day to hear his testimony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Moroboshi asked Qi Ming if he wanted to come along, he firmly refused: “If the monster doesn’t show up, don’t drag me into this mess between those two scumbags.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no desire to deal with a woman who fell for every man she met.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having decided not to get involved, Qi Ming went outside the base and gazed at the sea to calm his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a small meteor streaked across the pitch-black sky, catching his attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming immediately snapped to attention—in this world, meteors falling from beyond were always cause for caution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No good, too far away—‘See Through’ doesn’t work here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Looks like this meteor’s going to land in Tokyo?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a cursed city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Crack.” From the impact site, amid a haze of white mist, a black beetle crawled out…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…………………………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day, Kishida and Yamana went to the prison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s a dangerous man, like a wolf—a lawless brute.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Kishida saw Matsumoto Saburo’s vicious gaze as the guards brought him out, he thought this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kishida: “I hope you’ll answer honestly—did you personally blow up the yacht?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sweating profusely, Matsumoto Saburo frowned heavily: “Of course. I did it alone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yamana: “The timer bomb you built shouldn’t have had that much power.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Matsumoto Saburo growled: “Don’t look down on me! That took me a whole month to build!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was proud of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kishida: “Do you hate Yuriko that much?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Matsumoto Saburo spat the words: “Of course I hate her—we grew up together, we even had an engagement.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She betrayed our vows, called me ugly, said she hated me—so I decided to kill her!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t regret blowing her up! Only when she’s dead can I finally vent my rage!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After breaking up, she still kicked him while he was down? Clearly, it ended badly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if Yuriko had said such cruel, heartless things back then, why now was she trying to prove Matsumoto innocent?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kishida and Yamana exchanged glances, thinking: not all women are as straightforward as the deputy captain—their minds are truly inscrutable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kishida cleared his throat: “But Yuriko isn’t dead. She wants us to prove you didn’t kill her—so you won’t be sentenced to death.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What!” Matsumoto Saburo’s eyes widened in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man who had just looked relieved now stood up, trembling with excitement: “Wait—are you serious? Is Yuriko still alive? And Yokogawa too?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the raw malice in his eyes, Kishida and Yamana felt a chill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Matsumoto Saburo roared in fury: “What kind of joke is this? How can those two bastards just live freely? Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! I’ll make sure those two die and rot!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He began pounding the table with his fists in rage; the guards quickly called for help to take him away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s enough for today. I’m only giving you this convenience because you’re from the Victory Team—you’ve been active lately. Keep it up,” the warden said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait—I’ll tell the truth,” Matsumoto Saburo suddenly calmed as he was being led away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To be honest, those people were killed by a monster—a black thing fell from the sky and just crushed them…” Matsumoto spoke slowly, and Kishida and Yamana perked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Exactly as Yuriko had said—there really was a monster!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the phrase “fell from the sky” matched Qi Ming’s deduction about the bird-like monster’s traits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The warden barked: “Idiot! Don’t spout nonsense like that! Take him away!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s true! Believe me! I didn’t do it! I didn’t!” Matsumoto screamed, but they dragged him off anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way back, Kishida and Yamana chatted half-heartedly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This guy’s emotions are all over the place—just a minute ago he was raging, acting like he didn’t care if he died, and now he’s begging for mercy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Probably thought he’d avenged himself and didn’t care about anything anymore—so he put on a tough front in front of us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But now that he knows Yuriko’s alive, is he changing his story to clear his name so he can get out and keep seeking revenge?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Impossible. Even if the monster really killed them, his intent and actions are clear—he’s still guilty of terrorism. He’ll get at least ten years.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After ten years in prison, will he still want revenge?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s not our concern. The Victory Team’s job is to fight monsters.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They dismissed Matsumoto’s threats and prepared to question Yuriko again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last time, her fiancé’s appearance had cut her off before she could finish telling Yamana everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after asking around, they learned Yuriko had been hospitalized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She injured her eyes on the shore—temporarily blind,” the hospital staff replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How did she go blind?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Strange—apparently the yacht’s exhaust suddenly turned red. When it touched her eyes, she screamed in pain and was rushed here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This immediately reminded Kishida and Yamana of Qi Ming’s earlier warning. They pressed further: “Was there a lot of white fluff on the shore back then—like snow?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll check… Yes, there was. Weird—it’s not even snow season. This is an anomaly. Shouldn’t your Victory Team investigate?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hanging up, Kishida and Yamana drove toward the site and reported the incident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The white fluff falling over Tokyo, when mixed with sulfur dioxide in the air, reacts chemically to form a toxic red gas—that’s what Qi Ming said.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We need to warn the public to be careful, and we must take preventive measures.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qi Ming says these white fluffs are crystalline threads spat out by Luo Qiesi to build its nest—if we can trace where they came from, we should find the monster.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is this thing also an Earth monster? Can we kill it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qi Ming, what do you say? This monster’s already caused serious harm to human life—can we strike back now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kishida noticed Qi Ming wasn’t joining the discussion: “Where’s Qi Ming? Did he go to calculate the bird monster’s location?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emi hesitated: “Qi Ming… said he went to catch Pokémon.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yamana nearly spat out his water: “Is he serious?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1056,"2026-06-19T16:40:33.318Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","317e4c60d12f1e5d684bd80cb170a6c3f63d8dfdd89d3ceeafa1acc39af47946","ultraman-arbitrary-key-dawn-chapter-126","ultraman-arbitrary-key-dawn-chapter-124",547,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fultraman-arbitrary-key-dawn-cover.jpg"]
