Residents must avoid going out and especially avoid any confrontations.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nishijo Nagi ordered the team to prepare; they would launch their operation at nine o’clock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before leaving, Qi Ming asked: “Emi, have you seen any aliens with red bodies running through the streets carrying an old woman?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emi: “What kind of scenario is this…? No intelligence on that.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming muttered: “Not appeared yet?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the original plot, two aliens came from Standel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one who could only fight at night and feared light—Abbas—and the one who could only exert strength during the day—Reder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To obtain soldiers capable of fighting both day and night, they came to Earth to kidnap humans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reder, after being wounded, was taken in by an old woman; moved by human kindness, he turned over a new leaf and chose to aid humanity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If possible, Qi Ming hoped he could lend a hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…………………………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At 6 p.m., the new host of KCB TV, [Jii Reiko], reported:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Breaking news: The Victory Team has devised a strategy to locate the missing persons and will conduct operations tonight in specific areas.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Citizens must not engage in any brawls after dark, and please suspend vigorous physical activities like wrestling.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…………………………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At 8 p.m., Qi Ming arrived at the rendezvous point wearing sunglasses and carrying a massive [portable spotlight], drawing everyone’s attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kishida hesitated and asked: “What is this…?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming: “Custom-made equipment from Dr. Hachiō— a spotlight emitting fifty thousand lumens.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fifty thousand lumens!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kishida was stunned—normally, a household flashlight emits only one hundred to three hundred lumens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if lighting was needed for nighttime operations, bringing a fifty-thousand-lumen flashlight was absurd—were you planning to blind someone?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course, it’s for the alien we’re facing tonight,” Qi Ming said. “He only moves at night, meaning he fears light.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yamada shook his head:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is pure fantasy, too simplistic. So many thieves only operate at night—do they also die in the light?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I think the alien only moves at night simply to hide in the darkness.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nishijo Nagi also felt Qi Ming’s reasoning was insufficient—what if the alien was a nocturnal creature like an owl?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kishida urged: “Qi Ming, put this thing down. It’s too bulky—it’ll hinder your movement. If the light fails to affect the alien and blinds us instead, we’re done for.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the alien would slit each of our throats while we’re blinded—this isn’t a joke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming: “I know what I’m doing. Just wear these when the time comes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pulled out two pairs of sunglasses and handed them to Nishijo and Kishida to wear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yamada: “What about me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming: “I remember you have sunglasses.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yamada: “But those are ordinary ones—yours… you should at least give me [arc-radiation-proof goggles]!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming: “They’re the same.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A strong sense of unreliability washed over them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Qi Ming’s authority, built through previous incidents and his usual aloof demeanor, took effect—no one argued further. Though skeptical, they silently accepted the sunglasses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nishijo Nagi: “Now we create a violent incident to lure out the alien.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming looked at Kishida and Yamada: “Have you decided who’s going to take a beating from me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yamada and Kishida reacted even more strongly: “Why are you beating us?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming: “Because you can’t beat me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the command room, Moroboshi coughed: “You don’t need actual physical conflict. Qi Ming, perform something like breaking stones with your chest—showing off your strength might attract him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming: “That’s too ridiculous.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Help! Help!” A woman’s cry came from ahead, followed by someone chasing her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nishijo Nagi frowned: “Can’t you see the curfew notice? Who dares to cause trouble tonight? Are they looking to die?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming, with sharp eyes, recognized the two figures: “The pursuer might not be human.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yamada also recognized the woman sprinting ahead: “I know her—she’s the pop star [Chris Maya]. I love her… my fiancée adores her!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kishida had heard her name too: “A big star—who’s chasing her?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“For the justice of the Natan Star, you fugitives must die!” The pursuer was a man, wielding a gun, speaking arrogantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Natan Star…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh, so this is the [Natanian] from episode 29 of Ultraman Tiga, “Memories of the Blue Night”? Didn’t expect him to show up now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another quadruple attack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But can the Natanian even be considered a competent fighter…?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nishijo Nagi: “Wait—the man chasing him is holding a gun!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yamada quickly raised his weapon: “He just said ‘Natan Star’—that’s another alien!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could react, a blue beam suddenly descended from the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Abbas’s spaceship!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Drawn by the Natanian’s commotion, it came to abduct him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it, what’s going on!” Even as an alien, the Natanian couldn’t break free from Abbas’s beam—he was dragged skyward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So pathetic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming weighed the spotlight in his hand, leapt into the air, grabbed the blue beam, and ascended with it into Abbas’s spaceship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nishijo Nagi reacted instantly: “Quick, follow him!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1053,"2026-06-19T16:40:33.318Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","6d01d0de605e2dcb7dd59d2d8c20334c8a34f6cd9acc2a062ce197b52690587c","ultraman-arbitrary-key-dawn-chapter-37","ultraman-arbitrary-key-dawn-chapter-35",547,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fultraman-arbitrary-key-dawn-cover.jpg"]
