In the Freedom Fortress hidden in a certain dam, the night raid team was dispatched twice today. Hiragi Shiori came in rubbing her sore shoulders and was stunned when she saw the situation in the base.

"How...why is it empty?!" Their command room was completely empty except for the computer screen and tables and chairs embedded in the wall.

The work computers placed in everyone's seats were gone, the room was dark, and the lights were not turned on.

Komon and Saijo Nagi, who were taking off their helmets and disarming equipment, heard the sound and quickly walked in to take a look, then looked at the empty command room in silence.

Captain Wakura was currently in the high-level conference room, facing three officers questioning him about the details of the battle after entering the Metafield.

On the bottom floor of the base, a group of downed equipment troops were led away by other staff with bewildered faces, ready to ask them about their combat experience with "ANOTHER".

In the laboratory, several researchers wearing strict protective clothing collected samples from the frost in the room.

"Huh? Are you Ishibori? Why are you here at ABWD?" Manager Matsunaga, who was wearing a black suit and looking serious, was observing the scene. When he saw the person walking over, he was a little surprised.

"I heard that something happened in the laboratory. I was worried so I came over to take a look. As you know, I have some friendship with them." Ishibori Mitsuhiko smiled gently. As the technical specialist of the Night Raid Team, he has something different from others.

He has a gentle temperament and is completely unlike a combatant who often fights alien beasts.

"Yes." Manager Matsunaga nodded, looked at the frost and damaged equipment in the room, and said calmly: "The man did it today. It is really powerful. How did he do it?"

When he said this, there was no fear in his eyes, only something called ambition, and the seeds of darkness were planted in everyone's heart.

Mitsuhiko Ishibori smiled and said gently: "The laboratory was completely destroyed? Is there nothing left?"

"He must have deliberately destroyed the data. The researchers just collected the information and haven't had time to store it yet." At this point, Manager Matsunaga paused, then looked at him and said with a smile, "But the night raid team doesn't need to worry about this kind of thing.

"

"You're right." Ishibori Mitsuhiko nodded, turned and left.

…

In the information operations center, Yu Kirazawa looked at the screen repeatedly, which lasted less than half a second.

In addition to alien beasts and silver giants, there are other existences of light. Things in the universe seem to be more complicated than they thought.

"Ultraman... you didn't let me investigate on purpose."

Kira Zeyu stared at the silver giant and narrowed his eyes slightly. Suddenly his expression changed, and the computer data in the corner jumped abnormally.

In just a few seconds, the data from the Combat Information Center began to leak. Kira Zeyu quickly operated the computer, trying to stop someone who was stealing the data. However, his speed in setting up a firewall was far slower than the speed of the other party's invasion.

"Not bad!" Kira Zeyu raised a smile on his lips.

In the small combat information center, data on the computers on the surrounding walls kept flashing, and the pictures changed rapidly. Kirazawa Yu's eyes seemed to be shining with excitement as he was fighting against an invisible opponent.

A quarter of an hour later, he was successfully defeated.

Well, all the information about TLT has been stolen, so you don’t need to tell Manager Matsunaga what happened here.

…

In a small independent-family apartment located in the city, Himeya was drinking water and watching the young man wearing glasses sitting on the sofa typing on the computer frantically. The lenses seemed to reflect a strange light under the light, making the smile on the young man's face even more intense.

Weird.

He shifted his gaze slightly and saw that the little white cat over there looked around the entire small hut several times as if it was patrolling its territory.

This temporary home is a one-room house. The living room and bedroom are not separated. The doll Riko Saita is lying on the bed, and opposite there is a TV playing the news.

As a solitary man, Himeya obtained most of his intelligence from television news and newspapers and magazines.

Zhuiyu's camera was placed on the counter beside the bed. He looked at the contents and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there was no damage at all.

Great, he finally recovered a piece of equipment, which contained precious memories of the first world he traveled through.

When the time comes to find the location of Tiga World, you can go there and take back the motorcycle you worked so hard to customize.

In addition to Zhuiyu's camera, there is also a SLR placed next to it on the counter. Judging from the marks on it, it looks like it has been used frequently recently.

"By the way, didn't you say you didn't like taking pictures at the beginning?" Zhuiyu picked up the SLR and looked at Himeya Jun, who was sizing up Chen Li over there.

"Oh, that..." Himeya smiled sheepishly and said, "Because it's what I'm looking for."

"Eh……"

Zhuiyu picked up the SLR, walked over and opened it to look at it. The first photo he saw was of a little girl standing by the flower bed in the amusement park, smiling brightly and making a scissor hand gesture towards the camera.

Moving on to the previous photos, they are still in an amusement park or other places, with various children playing happily and smiling very happily.

Under the sun, a child's smile is the most real and innocent.

"Not bad right?"

Himeya Jun looked at the young man who was looking at the photos intently. His expression was a little nervous, but he also smiled with relief: "The thing I have been pursuing before may be the meaning of life. Later, I quit my job at the newspaper and went to the battlefield.

I also wanted to take pictures of people trying to live, but all I took were shots of death.”

"What exactly do I want? Sera used to look so happy under my camera, but in the end, because of my fault..." Himeya was silent for a while, and suddenly smiled again: "I

I really like the photo you took.”

"What?" Zhuiyu turned to look at him in confusion.

Jun Himeya said seriously: "Many people say that the photos I took on the battlefield are very contagious, but I feel that that person and his smile made me understand what should be conveyed and what should not be conveyed.

It's the shadow of death, that kind of contagion, it just spreads fear."

Zhuiyu finally understood, turned on his camera, and brought up the scene of the little angel Dagu waving his hands and running over with a bright smile in the sun, and said, "Do you like him?"

Himeya quasi-said that Dagu's smile was very contagious, and he really agreed with this point. He was gentle and sunny, exuding the light of hope without any gloom.

As long as it is something Dagu thinks is right, he will try his best to do it. Although he may be confused occasionally, he will never lose that dazzling light. His faith is firm, just like a real angel under the sun, giving people hope.

Jun Himeya always felt that Sera guided him into the ruins, got the light, became a silver giant, and fought the alien beasts, leaving his body scarred, and finally dying alone in the battle, which was his punishment.

, because of endless guilt and regret, he is also willing to accept such punishment.

But before he really died, there was something he had never found, something he was looking for before he entered the battlefield, something he was looking for before he met Sera.

Is it how people face the fear of death, or how they try to live?

Is it really what he is looking for to spread the cruelty of war and let more people see the truth of what happened hidden in unknown corners and every scene of struggling for survival?

Until he saw the smile in the light, which resonated deep within his heart, Himeya felt that what he really wanted to spread was the hope of living.

Before the scene of Sera's death was left behind, there were obviously more and more proofs that she was still alive with a smile on her face.

"So..." Zhuiyu was silent for a while and suddenly said: "Is this the reason why you became a perverted lolicon?"
