Chapter 165 Now It's My Turn to Play with the Jeep!

After all, they were members of the same team, and Riko was their comrade.

Therefore, both Komon and Shiori inevitably felt a sense of shared vulnerability, as if the cold had reached their lips after the teeth were gone.

If one day their own loved ones were to encounter a Space Beast and barely survive by a fluke, would their memories be wiped as well?

As Nosferu was defeated, the Saida family finally relaxed, and then noticed a problem they had previously overlooked.

Saida Shigeru looked at Komon and asked with lingering fear, "What on earth was that monster? It was truly terrifying!"

Komon did not answer Saida Shigeru's question.

Matters concerning Space Beasts could not yet be known by ordinary people.

Shiori, standing nearby, remained silent as well, clearly having no intention of answering.

The atmosphere gradually grew quiet.

Noticing this abnormal situation, Saida Shigeru wore a puzzled expression. "What is it? Why aren't any of you saying anything?"

"Don't ask." Komon looked at the Saida family, his words carrying a warning tone. "These matters are classified. Knowing too much won't do you any good."

According to Mizuhara Sara, the memory erasure targeted specific traits.

Space Beasts, Ultraman.

This meant that the more the Saida family knew, the more of their memories would be erased.

A massive loss of memory might have certain side effects, after all, this was something a person could perceive.

Upon careful reflection afterward, it was quite likely that one could recall the entire sequence of events.

A person could safely have their memories erased twice, but from the third time onward, it became risky.

In the medical checkups conducted at the TLT-affiliated hospital, there were individuals who harbored deep, indelible impressions of Space Beasts.

Those people could not forget the Space Beasts no matter what, and lived in daily fear.

Hearing Komon's words, Saida Shigeru looked him up and down.

This uniform clearly belonged to a special operations team, and the helmet on his head looked very professional.

"Is that so?" Understanding something, Saida Shigeru asked no further.

In the Underground Base command room, Saida Riko felt a wave of relief wash over her when she saw that her family was safe.

Thanks to her teammates for arriving in time and not giving up on the rescue effort, especially Komon.

A thought occurring to her, Saida Riko looked at Qiao Zhe and said, "Commander, have the Memory Police erase their memories."

Of course she understood the priorities; rather than letting her family remember the Space Beasts and live in daily terror and anxiety, it was better for them to forget this period of memory.

Qiao Zhe looked at Saida Riko in surprise, as he had expected her to plead for leniency.

He was not truly that cold-hearted, however, and turning his gaze to Wakura, he ordered, "Arrange for someone to take them to the TLT hospital and give them the best medical treatment."

As he spoke, another thought crossed his mind, and a thoughtful look appeared on his face.

"Sara, come with me."

Mizuhara Sara, standing nearby, put on a guarded expression and asked somewhat defensively, "What for?"

"Scientific research," Qiao Zhe briefly explained.

He remembered that the Visitors' technology was capable of collecting information and data on light.

They had breached the Meta Field and copied the Cestium Ray skill.

Of course, Qiao Zhe had no intention of lying down on an experimental table; rather, he planned to invent something new.

If TLT continued to use memory erasure, the negative energy within the Memoria Crepitus would only continue to multiply.

Realizing what he meant, and seeing Qiao Zhe already walking out of the command room, Mizuhara Sara quickly followed while her cheeks flushed slightly.

Stereotypes were truly terrible; just now, her subconscious mind had wandered down a crooked path.

The two walked into the research laboratory, which was similarly equipped with data collection facilities.

The laboratory door automatically closed behind them, and Qiao Zhe said to Mizuhara Sara, "You will record the data."

"I plan to release a kind of telepathic energy capable of hypnotizing humans, making them forget about seeing the Space Beasts."

In this way, there would be no need to collect negative memories, and the Memoria Crepitus naturally would not continue to accumulate darkness.

However, upon hearing Qiao Zhe's words, the relaxed look on Mizuhara Sara's face immediately turned guarded once again.

"You can hypnotize humans?!"

She suddenly recalled what Zagi had said.

Mizuhara Sara glanced toward the closed door of the laboratory, feeling a vague sense of unsafety.

Noticing the change in expression on her face, Qiao Zhe said with an amused smile, "I won't use this on you."

These words caused Mizuhara Sara to dart her eyes away as she muttered inwardly.

When Kira Seiyu and the others returned to the base, they found Madoroki blocking the doorway.

Since Himiya Jun had vanished after transforming into Jojo, Madoroki was naturally not foolish enough to stay put in the same place.

Driving back to the base in a jeep with broken brakes, Madoroki wanted to demand a clear explanation from Qiao Zhe.

However, Saida Riko told him that Qiao Zhe and Mizuhara Sara had gone to the laboratory and had not come out yet.

Having squatted outside the laboratory for half a day without managing to waylay Qiao Zhe, Madoroki had instead come to intercept Himiya Jun.

Seeing Kira Seiyu and his group return, Madoroki immediately stepped forward the moment he caught sight of Himiya Jun, having not even had the time to change his clothes since coming back.

At that moment, he was covered in sand from head to toe, with scratches visible on his face.

"What happened to you?" Seeing Madoroki in such a state, Nagi Saijyo asked with a hint of concern in her voice.

"How did you end up looking so battered?"

It would have been better if she hadn't asked; the moment she brought it up, it reminded Madoroki of being chased by the jeep.

Gnash-toothed, he glared at Himiya Jun and, consumed by anger, grabbed him by the collar of his shirt. "You bastard, Himiya Jun! Give me back the transformation device!"

"Calm down." Himiya Jun's expression showed no panic as he said with complete composure, "That was physical conditioning for you. It's all for your own good. Look at how energetic you are right now?"

"You son of a—!" Madoroki stared intently at Himiya Jun, then suddenly noticed something.

Himiya Jun looked quite exhausted. Did this mean that transforming into the giant also consumed a tremendous amount of physical energy for him?

The thought of this caused Madoroki to loosen his grip on Himiya Jun's collar.

"Physical conditioning, is it?"

A smile surfaced on his face as he reached out and heavily pressed down on Himiya Jun's shoulder, hinting at a hidden meaning. "Wonderful! Now you are Ultraman Jojo!"

"Come on! Let's go train!"

With those words, Madoroki grabbed Himiya Jun's arm with an eager expression that could barely be contained.

Himiya Jun produced the Evolthruster and shoved it straight into Madoroki's hand. "No, you're the one doing the transforming now."

Having been chased around by a jeep, Himiya Jun very much wanted to put Madoroki through that kind of training, but he had zero desire to be trained by Madoroki himself.

"You're the one who transforms!" Madoroki shoved the Evolthruster right back into Himiya Jun's clothes.

The two of them refused back and forth, neither willing to hold the Evolthruster at that moment.

While they were pushing it back and forth between them, Senju Rei stepped forward and said, "Um, if neither of you wants it, can you give it to me?"

The pushing motion between Himiya Jun and Madoroki paused, and both men involuntarily turned their heads to look at Senju Rei.

This young man is truly courageous!

The exact same thought popped into their minds simultaneously.

"Rei," Kira Seiyu pulled Senju Rei back at that moment. As a good friend, he still couldn't bear to watch Senju Rei get scammed so quickly. "Their training is terribly brutal."

"I'm not afraid." Senju Rei remained unshaken, looking steadily at Madoroki and Himiya Jun. "No matter what kind of training it is, even if I get hurt, I will accept it!"
