But at that moment, the monster suddenly flashed with a strong light, like lightning, no, brighter than lightning, a thousand times brighter than the sun.
So much so that there was a scream in the mountain, his eyes were hurt by the strong light and he became blind in an instant.
Beidou and Konno, who were guarding in front of the house, heard the screams and hurriedly followed the sound.
"Yamazhong, are you okay, Yamanaka!"
"Don't come over here! You stay at the orphanage, I can handle it here!"
Even at this point, Yamanaka was still determined to fight. Even if he couldn't see, he could still hear. He still had hands, feet, and a TAC gun.
But Beidou had already seen Shanzhong, who couldn't even open his eyes. He was like a trapped animal in the snow.
"Don't be stubborn, you are injured, come back with me."
But Yamanaka still insisted on not agreeing. His stubbornness was simply unreasonable.
"What on earth are you thinking, Yamanaka!"
Beidou couldn't understand it. I don't know when the Yamanaka became more and more eccentric. Yes, it was after they won the war with the Yawa people.
Beidou thought that after destroying the Yawa people, Yamanaka would be able to let go of his hatred. But it was not the case. Instead, he became more extreme, and it was like this in every battle. It was as if——
By the way, Beidou thought of a good description, it is as if one has completed the obsession and therefore lost faith, and all that is left is the body, longing for death at any time.
He longed to burn himself on the battlefield. He fought desperately because he really didn't care about his life and was looking forward to being taken away by the god of death one day.
No, not the god of death, but Gaia.
He believed that he had completed his mission and he longed to return to the kingdom of God where Maya lived.
But this is wrong. Since we are alive, we should live well.
"Beidou, the Cosmos is parked nearby, I'll go get some equipment." Konno said as he chased from behind.
Because it was originally just an investigation, weapons like individual rocket launchers were still in the plane. Now that monsters really have appeared, these weapons are needed.
"Go get the protective goggles too. That monster can emit strong light that can blind people." Beidou reminded.
Protective goggles are equipment that are equipped on all aircraft to prevent the pilot from losing vision when flying in the face of strong light.
He already knew the reason for Shan Zhong's blindness, so he naturally wouldn't be careless.
"Understood!"
Konno walked hard towards the Cosmos in the snow, taking one step deep and one step shallow.
"Come with me, Yamanaka, let's go back to the house."
Yamanaka still wanted to resist, but as he was blind, he could not break free from Beidou's pull and was dragged back to the house.
"Yukari, I'll ask you to take care of Team Member Yamanaka. He's blind."
"Ah, what should I do?"
There was a medicine box in the house, but it was simple enough to deal with only bruises and injuries.
"Once we've eliminated the weird guys outside, we'll send him to the hospital. Just keep an eye on him and make sure he doesn't run around."
"I'm not a kindergarten kid!" Yamanaka roared.
But Beidou remained unmoved.
"But you are injured now."
Beidou said as he took his other TAC gun and handed it to Nan Xizi.
"Yuko, let's go and destroy that monster."
At some point, the snowstorm outside the house got even stronger, and the white-haired wind that swept across the ground made the whole house creak, as if it would collapse at any moment. Looking out the window, Beidou discovered that the monster had become extremely huge.
It's like a grown-up monster!
Wind and snow are its breath, and destruction is the meaning of its existence.
Beidou pulled Nan Xizi outside the house and closed the door to prevent the wind and snow from blowing into the house.
The biting cold wind was painful and the skin on my face felt like it was being cut by a knife.
The monster approached the orphanage step by step, and every step was earth-shaking. Missiles exploded on it, and it was Konno who had obtained a bazooka and was attacking, but this attack was useless.
Konno had already boarded the Cosmos, but the strong winds prevented the plane from even taking off. The hurricane hit, and the plane was blown more than ten meters away like a toy, leaving a deep mark on the ground. Konno was so scared that he quickly jumped off the plane.
"It's our turn, Yuko." Beidou glanced at the ring, which was flashing.
However, Nan Xizi did not hold his hand as usual.
"Gaia is here too, right? Even if we don't turn into Ace, Gaia will come and destroy this monster."
"Yuko, how could you say such a thing?"
Beidou was shocked. The mountain was like this, and now even Nan Xizi had become incomprehensible to him. He had no idea what had happened.
"Beidou, I mean, if I were an alien, what would you think?"
"Alien? That assumption doesn't make sense. You are from Earth, and so are we. Even if Ace chose us, it doesn't mean that..."
"I'm not talking about Ace, I'm talking about myself. What if I myself am a cosmic being?"
Beidou didn't understand why Nan Xizi said such a thing. Of course, she was from Earth, and the medical examination report every six months in the TAC team also proved this.
Aliens can disguise their appearance, but how can their organs and blood be disguised under scientific instruments?
"You don't understand, Beidou. I am so close to humans because we are neighbors, or in the beginning, we have the same origin. I come from the moon, the satellite of the earth, the moon."
Maybe humans were immigrants from the moon, or the moon was an immigrant from humans, so their genes are so similar. But it doesn’t matter. She was born on the moon and is a moon person. Born and raised on the moon, she is an alien to the earth.
She didn't want to deceive Beidou. After she was sent to Earth, her memory was blocked in order to better integrate into the Earth. In the past few years, she really thought she was an Earthling.
But no.
She came to Earth with a mission. The monster that once turned the moon into a dead star has come to Earth, sucking the earth veins for a living. It turned the core of the planet into exhausted rock, just like the moon once was, and now it is the turn of the Earth.
As the monster gradually awakens, her memory also awakens.
At that time, the Orion gas of the island flow did not make her faint. Yuko didn’t understand why before, but now she knows, because she is not an Earthling after all.
She had remembered everything. So, she couldn't hide it from Beidou anymore.
The Ultra Ring was still flashing, but Beidou lowered his hand.
Chapter 192: Praying to God
"Does it matter whether you are from Earth or not?" Beidou said.
Of course it is important, because they are fighting against aliens. Aliens descending from the sky always bring destruction and disasters. So much so that the sky has become a taboo of death.
But Beidou doesn't think so.
"The enthusiasm cannot be extinguished. Help the weak and sympathize with the weak. People from any country can become friends. So we must have the courage to trust. When I met the Metron people, I believed in Lingye. When I met the Orion people, I believed in Daoliu. I have also trusted many people. Although some of them were indeed found to be aliens in the end, you see, as long as you trust, you will get kindness in return."
Of course, there are times when we pay the price for mistrusting others, but if we doubt everyone because of this, the world will be too sad. Because we have been loved, we will know how to love others. Because we have been trusted, we will dare to trust others.
If someone dares not to do so due to fear, Beidou is willing to be the first to extend the olive branch.
What's more, that person was Yuko.
"If you don't want to fight for the Earth anymore because you're a moon person, I can understand, Yuko, you've done enough for the Earth. As for the rest, I..."
"No! It's not like that, Beidou. I'd do anything for Earth, but can I really?"
Will the TAC team allow an alien to join? Teammates, will you accept an alien as a comrade?
Even Ultraman, who had spent six years establishing a deep friendship with humans, still warned Ace when he came to Earth that he needed to stay on Earth while hiding his identity. Once his identity was known, he would have to return to the Kingdom of Light.
What about her?
Continue to hide your identity as a moon man?
In the past, she herself didn't know, so she had no psychological burden. But now she has remembered everything, and she doesn't want to face her comrades with a mask on.
The monster stepped closer to the orphanage. Beidou raised his TAC gun and shot a few times, but there was no effect. The monster released a strong light again. This time, Beidou had the advance warning from Yamanaka and did not stare at the super beast. He turned his head to avoid the light. But even so, he could still feel the extreme brightness of that moment.
It swallowed up the wind and blew up the snow, and wherever it passed, it was like an avalanche, with mountains and rivers breaking apart and forests collapsing.
It was a monster that human technology could not handle.
"I understand, Beidou-kun, let's merge!"
Nan Xizi took the initiative to extend her hand.
She decided——
She didn't know how long she could fight, or when she would have to leave. But until that day came, she wanted to continue fighting with Beidou.
Then, Ace appeared on the earth.
Seeing Ultraman appear, Snowkilan was not afraid. It had no rationality at all.
The Snow Girl is long gone. The monster that called the wind and snow and liked to test the sincerity of lovers is now only a remnant - a fragment of memory from the old people of the previous generation. People today do not believe in gods, let alone monsters. So it is not a monster, but a monster.
When those old people passed away, the legends were only pale stories left on paper. No trace was left after the conversations and laughter.
It has no desire, no nostalgia, only the desire to destroy.
Shanzhong leaned against the wall, listening to the sounds of fighting outside, and suddenly felt a little confused.
"Mr. Yamanaka, are you okay?"
Yukari held a bandage in her hand and tried to bandage Yamanaka's eyes. Although she didn't know if it would work, it was all she could do with her ability and the simple items in the medical kit.
"I don't need this." Yamanaka rejected Yukari, "I still have to fight and can't waste time here."
"But Ace is already here."
Now that Ace had appeared, the monsters would be destroyed soon. Everyone believed so.
Everyone thought so, but Shanzhong was stubborn.
"I'm a member of the TAC team. How can I hide away from a monster?"
Fighting to the last moment and then sacrificing for humanity is the only meaning of his life now. Then when he goes to that world, he can proudly tell Maya that he died for humanity.
That way, she couldn't blame herself for not keeping her promise, right?
Yamanaka was unable to see anything, and he struggled to find the door. He opened the door and walked out despite Yukari's attempts to stop him.
But when he touched his waist, Yamanaka found that he didn't have a TAC gun. Then he remembered his two guns, one of which was taken away by Beidou, and the other was also given to Nan Xizi by Beidou.
