I’m already familiar with the basic situation—you don’t need to be afraid…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming cut him off: “What gave you the impression I’m afraid?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kenjō: “...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Keimi, sitting in the front passenger seat, said: “Qi Ming means he hasn’t killed anyone, so he has no guilt.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kenjō: “That’s good. We know you’ve been framed and are working hard to clear your name, but you were still too impulsive in front of Director Ikahana…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He proposed a solution: Qi Ming should return immediately to the marine base, where they would publicly claim he had been detained for review.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That way, they could give Director Ikahana some face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kenjō: “Nothing will happen. Just go back to your dorm and get some sleep.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming sighed: “Kenjō, you’re a good man—far better than our captain, who’s always pushing me to ‘do more than my share.’”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I want to sleep too—who doesn’t want to rest on a comfortable bed?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But the situation is urgent. After I exposed Bokkō King’s disguise, both sides are now playing their cards openly—we must seize the initiative.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He remembered when he first arrived in this world, he silently warned himself never to fight recklessly like Shinchū Ken’go from _Ultraman Tregear_.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would help others only within his limits, never exhaust his body, and always conserve strength for unexpected emergencies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, if he slept, the whole world might collapse—how could he possibly rest?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His sense of duty dragged him forward, forcing him to expend extra energy running around, as if he’d become Ultraman Tregear fighting five elite foes in forty-eight straight hours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kenjō: “Who is this underground creature called Bokkō King? Is the disguise referring to Dr. Koizumi?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming summarized the key points for Kenjō: from his recent contact, Dr. Koizumi had long been a puppet controlled by Bokkō King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The city designs that severed dragon veins, and the underground metropolis meant to nail down the main dragon vein—all were Bokkō King’s doing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming: “Bokkō King probably wants to provoke conflict between humans and Earth monsters, so he can profit from the chaos.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing this, Kenjō immediately sensed the gravity of the situation—it was no longer time for routine procedures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine, Qi Ming, go gather intelligence. If anything goes wrong, I’ll take responsibility,” Kenjō said decisively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good.” Qi Ming’s tone was approving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Kenjō was extremely radical in the original _Dyna_ series, when he declared “no matter the cost,” he was willing to include himself among those costs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Qi Ming and Keimi arrived at Dr. Koizumi’s residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Opening this door won’t be easy,” Keimi frowned at the thick security door ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming opened the trunk and pulled out the battering ram Keimi had given him last time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You still kept it?!” Keimi said, surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, I figured I’d need it again sooner or later.” Qi Ming gripped the handle and swung: “Diamond Thunder Strike!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Crash!” The door shattered open. Qi Ming and Keimi entered and began ransacking the place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pay special attention to any notebooks or records,” Qi Ming reminded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet after searching every corner, they found nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What now?” Keimi asked, sitting on a dusty sofa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming also felt stumped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The enemy was hidden; they were exposed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless they obtained intelligence that could threaten the enemy and lure Bokkō King into open combat, giving it time to continue its covert schemes meant no one could predict how many more tricks it would pull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming: “Ugh… if only I had contacts underground—I could just ask for directions and raid Bokkō King’s hideout.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the communicator beeped—Tongshan was calling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tongshan: “Qi Ming, while you’re at it, pay a visit to Dr. Koizumi’s daughter, Koizumi Chidori.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming: “Koizumi Chidori!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was exactly who he planned to find next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, she suddenly hung up during her call with us just now—I’ve got a bad feeling,” Tongshan, once a frontline commander, was sharp as ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Dr. Koizumi was truly involved in something suspicious, his daughter, once closely connected to him, might have been drawn into the conspiracy’s vortex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he’d just confirmed her address and sent it to Qi Ming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming: “Perfect! Saves us the trouble of looking up the address.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tongshan warned: “Also, although Dr. Koizumi’s death has nothing to do with you, if his daughter reacts violently, try to be understanding.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming: “I understand—they’re both victims.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two got back into the Drumm vehicle and drove toward the address Tongshan provided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way, another video call came in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Inagaki.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What the hell is this thing?” Qi Ming recognized him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the 1999 _Seven_ OV, he belonged to the same faction as He Zhi and openly admitted that Minister Yin had killed Captain Tongshan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the 2002 _Seven_ OV, he seized full power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To secure peace on Earth, he chose to hand Earth’s governance over to the alien invaders, maintaining only the illusion of stability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That move had left Qi Ming utterly stunned—ultimately forcing the Ultraman Security Force to blow up the Earth Defense Force headquarters to prevent the central command from falling into alien hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is this what they mean by “a small temple breeds big demons, a shallow pond holds many turtles”? On the surface, it’s all monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re that reckless Qi Ming, aren’t you? Do you have any idea how much trouble you’ve caused TPC?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inagaki launched into a furious tirade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming replied with a scowl: “You spineless coward, stay on your knees and don’t drag me down with you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This enraged Inagaki—he ordered Qi Ming to return to base immediately for trial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He declared that until Dr. Koizumi’s autopsy report was released, Qi Ming must be imprisoned for review.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only if the report proved his innocence would he be released.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Inagaki would personally escort Qi Ming to Director Ikahana, forcing him to prostrate himself before him and beg for forgiveness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prostration was a kneeling posture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming’s mind went blank for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fuck, among TPC’s people, only a handful like Tongshan are even slightly helpful—the rest are just vermin dragging everyone back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming temporarily dropped his restraint and civility, replying calmly: “What brain damage? Did your mother die without teaching this stray dog not to bark wildly?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>————————————\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Added bonus chapter—please follow and vote for monthly tickets!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over the next two days, you’ll witness incredible plot twists and mind-blowing Star Gatherings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Please follow along to welcome the Sovereign of the Void—Guriza!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(Until official release, updates remain at midnight—see you at midnight tomorrow.)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1232,"2026-06-19T16:40:33.318Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","849bb18116ded375334fa9274cefdc20eda208bde8f4d5e47d93a354eaecb0ca","ultraman-arbitrary-key-dawn-chapter-86","ultraman-arbitrary-key-dawn-chapter-84",547,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fultraman-arbitrary-key-dawn-cover.jpg"]
