You’re the laziest one here—you don’t even write mission reports.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming: “This time, round it off and consider it written.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After returning to base yesterday, Qi Ming personally handed Xiao Quan’s research notes to Quan Teng, the Chief of Staff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He warned Quan Teng: “Infinite invaders are descending on Earth from space—don’t let chaos erupt within Earth itself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To someone as pragmatic as Quan Teng, saying “Humans and monsters are both Earth-born creatures with equal right to live” would earn only disdain—he’d call it sentimental nonsense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after Qi Ming laid out the strategic pros and cons, Quan Teng fully agreed—he too believed they couldn’t fight both sides at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was enough. With someone of his weight backing Qi Ming’s view, similar incidents would be unlikely to recur anytime soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the way, after the incident, the hawkish advisor Inagaki personally went to apologize to Director Tachibana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Director Tachibana, after achieving inner clarity, said he wouldn’t pursue it further, adding that for some reason, he found Qi Ming an intriguing young man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This left Advisor Inagaki deeply unsettled—he temporarily lost any grounds to hold Qi Ming accountable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, He Zhi, upon returning, said that although Qi Ming was somewhat arrogant, he was a man whose abilities matched his personality, and should be recruited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So despite Qi Ming’s numerous violations during this operation, with all three parties choosing to overlook it, the matter was quietly buried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This took Qi Ming by surprise—he’d actually planned to deliver a crushing counterblow when Advisor Inagaki came looking for trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…………………………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since they were visiting the orphans under the guise of “Victory Team Weiwenguer ,” the two drove the Drumm car toward the orphanage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In Ultraman Dyna, there was an episode where a Victory Team member visited orphans who lost their families to monster attacks.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I remember—it was called ‘Friend in the Box.’ Fei Niao and Ryo went together, if I recall.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they arrived, Qi Ming fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This orphanage… was indeed the one from the episode “Friend in the Box”!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they walked inside, Nishijo Nagi explained to Qi Ming that this was a TPC-affiliated welfare facility under the jurisdiction of Tongshan, the Chief of Staff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming nodded: “Then they’re our people.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The children at the orphanage showed great enthusiasm at the arrival of the two Victory Team members.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These children, orphaned by monster disasters, believed the Victory Team had avenged their families, and they deeply admired the profession, seeing them as heroes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But among them were neither Mei Tian Tong nor Mei Tian Xiang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nishijo Nagi, surrounded by the children, smiled forcedly—she was excellent at fighting monsters, but interacting with kids was far beyond her expertise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, most children were drawn to the handsome Qi Ming; Nishijo Nagi secretly glanced at him in gratitude, only to find him equally strained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After playing with the children for about half an hour, Qi Ming and Nishijo Nagi seized an opportunity to escape, both breathing heavily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nishijo Nagi: “You’re not…?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming: “If these kids were as intelligent as Kawashiri Hayato from JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders, I might actually be able to talk to them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nishijo Nagi was dull—she didn’t read manga and had no idea what Qi Ming meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where are Mei Tian Tong and Mei Tian Xiang? We came to see them,” Qi Ming asked the orphanage director.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director: “They should be over here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the director led them to the Umeda siblings, who weren’t playing with the other children—they were crouching under a tree’s shade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The director said: “They’re still not adjusted. They need more time to recover from their grief.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Nishijo Nagi felt deep guilt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Qi Ming watched from afar and sensed something was off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The younger sister, Mei Tian Xiang, held a vividly colored flower in her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That flower looked like… remembering her “past record” in the original Ultraman Leo, Qi Ming immediately activated his “See Through” ability to examine it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scan confirmed it—this was not a species native to Earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1158,"2026-06-19T16:40:33.318Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","a6254b0944b5edd83e63afc062dd2e0f3f1997049bac43851e3ea707c5a8f610","ultraman-arbitrary-key-dawn-chapter-91","ultraman-arbitrary-key-dawn-chapter-89",547,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fultraman-arbitrary-key-dawn-cover.jpg"]
