Ultraman Blaze

Since entering the selection and becoming the captain of SKaRD, Xiangyu has experienced so many things and his heart seems to be much heavier. Recently, he has been staying in the lookout tower and is rarely seen in the command room.

Sometimes, even when the team members passed by him, they saw that he looked worried.

After a while, they all noticed that Xiangyu was strange.

"The captain has been acting strange lately."

In the command room, Tut sat in a chair and thought.

"Two days ago I saw the captain alone on the lookout, with his head down, mumbling to himself. I didn't know who he was talking to."

Catherine nodded, feeling that Xiangyu's behavior had been a little strange lately.

"Could it be that the captain is mentally ill?" Catherine was horrified when she thought about it.

Of course, this is just a euphemism. To put it more simply, it means that there is a problem with the nerves, or simply called a mental illness.

"Don't talk nonsense, how could the captain get that kind of disease!" Without even thinking about it, Tut immediately rejected Catherine's guess.

"Maybe... the captain is too tired recently."

Compared with the former's speculation, the latter's words are more in line with reality and more in line with everyone's speculation.

...

"Ah."

Moon base, observation tower——

Xiangyu couldn't help but sneeze, with a puzzled look on his face, thinking: Strange, there is no wind, why am I sneezing?

However, this childish thought disappeared in his mind the moment it stayed in his mind, and was replaced by a complex gaze looking into space.

Xiangyu has indeed been thinking about things these days, and he has been thinking a lot.

Looking at the gorgeous starry sky above his head, hesitation appeared in Xiangyu's eyes.

After a moment, he made a phone call.

beep - beep -

This was a call to his boss. The phone rang for two seconds before it was connected. Xiangyu spoke, his tone weak and his voice low:

"Hello, sir, I'm Hanyu Xiangyu."

"Oh oh—" A middle-aged male voice came from the other end of the phone, powerful and peaceful, "Xiangyu, it's you, what's the matter with you calling?"

Xiangyu exhaled, his voice heavy, and said, "Sir, I... may not be suitable to be the captain of SKaRD."

After these words came out, even the person on the other end of the phone was quite surprised: "What?!"

"You mean...you're going to quit SKaRD?!"

"Yeah." Although he was extremely reluctant, Xiangyu still nodded in response.

A sigh came from the other end, and the officer on the phone asked, "Please tell me one reason why you choose to withdraw from SKaRD?"

"I feel that I have failed to fulfill my duties as captain and I am no longer capable of leading SKaRD." Xiangyu spoke out his inner thoughts truthfully.

The officer did not rush to answer. After Xiangyu had spoken out all his words, he calmly replied:

"Hanyu Xiangyu, I think you know why I let you be the captain of SKaRD."

"As a new star team, I believe you can lead a group of outstanding players. It is precisely because I believe you have that ability that I can trust you with the position of captain."

"Kid, you are not without ability. Everyone is growing, and so is this team. It has to go through some hardships and setbacks before it can become a team of steel."

"..."

"If you work hard, I believe you can protect the earth!"

After his superior's consolation, Xiangyu felt guilty.

Although he was "educated", he felt that the education was worth it and gave him great confidence and courage.

After thanking his superior, Xiangyu hung up the phone.

However, the good times did not last long. Not long after Xiangyu hung up the phone, a buzzing alarm sounded from the lunar base.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Xiangyu hurried back to the command room.

"What happened?"

After rushing into the command room, Xiangyu asked hurriedly.

The team members also looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy, all staring at the big screen.

"We received a report from the public that there was monster activity at location BLI0037."

"Beimiao, Hodoka, the two of you drive vehicle A to the target area for investigation." Xiangyu issued the order.

"clear."

The two nodded and ran out of the command room.

Then, they drove A to Earth.

About fifteen minutes later, the two arrived at the earth. Spacecraft A passed through the clouds and sped through the air, leaving a straight trail in the sky.

"Calling headquarters, this is number A, I am Bei Miao, and I have arrived at the target area."

"Okay, please start investigating immediately."

"clear."

No. A chose to land on flat ground, and Bei Miao and Fan Gao quickly found the person who reported the case.

This is a mine built in the mountains, and there is a small town about ten kilometers away.

The person who reported the case was a miner in the mine. When they saw the SKaRD team members, the miners stopped their work and surrounded the two of them, with the word "help" written on their faces.

Because of the arrival of the SKaRD team members, this incident directly alarmed the top leaders of the mine. Not long after, a black luxury car drove into the mine. A young, bespectacled man in a suit got out of the car and walked straight towards Bei Miao and the others.

The man with glasses walked quickly past the miners and came to the two team members. He pushed his glasses and asked with a smile, "What brings you to my mine?"

"We received a report from the public that a monster appeared here, and we were ordered to come here to investigate."

As he spoke, Bei Miao took out his ID photo from his pocket.

"Please cooperate with our investigation."

Hearing this, the man with glasses smiled and said, "Monster?"

"We don't have any monsters here. You must be mistaken."

"Where are there no monsters?"

"Have!"

"What a big one!"

At this time, the miners surrounding Bei Miao said one after another that they had definitely seen a monster, and they surrounded the two of them and talked nonsense.

"..."

Of course, many miners also said that they had never seen any monsters.

The idea seemed to be divided into two sides at once.

One side firmly believed that it had seen a monster, while the other side did not.

"You are the leader in charge of this mine, right?" After asking without any results, Bei Miao turned to look at the man with glasses and said.

"I am." The man with glasses nodded.

"Please stop the operation of this mine for a day. We need to conduct an in-depth investigation." Bei Miao said seriously.

When he heard that the investigation would shut down the mine, the man with the glasses looked unhappy and said, "Shut down?! Are you kidding me!"

Then, his attitude changed, and he said coldly: "There is no monster you want here, go investigate somewhere else, don't disturb my mine business!"

After that, he looked at the miners who reported the case and said in the same cold tone: "And you guys, if you don't work hard, get out of here and don't affect my mine business!"

After these words were spoken, none of the miners dared to speak anymore.

At this point, Bei Miao and Fan Gao had no choice but to leave first and report everything to Xiangyu.

Xiangyu sat in the command room and paused for a few breaths before saying, "Didn't the miners report the case? Wait until later to find out more about each case, and then consider whether to continue interfering."
