Ultraman Arbitrary Key: Dawn

The Star Gift increases by 1 point automatically every three days, and it's now at 8 points.

He didn't know the principle behind it, guessing that the watch was automatically absorbing energy. In any case, it was a good thing.

What he was more concerned about now was this [Perception]. Did it mean the ability to see through to the essence of things, like Sun Wukong's Fiery Eyes?

2/5, did this mean his transformation options were Tiga and Seven?

As long as he could make the number five, he could unlock this function. Could he perceive if Doctor Tsuchihashi was currently normal?

Qi Ming asked Mamoru Shirogane to pay close attention to Doctor Tsuchihashi, monitoring his every move.

In response, Mamoru Shirogane's method was to repeatedly remind Kishida to protect the Doctor without leaving his side.

At two in the morning, golden, droplet-shaped rays of light, invisible to the human eye, descended from the sky.

Time in Doctor Tsuchihashi's room was paused!

"Wake up, Doctor Tsuchihashi, wake up quickly!" On the television, a shrimp-like creature appeared, calling out to Doctor Tsuchihashi.

Doctor Tsuchihashi, who had just fallen into a deep sleep, sat up like a puppet, his eyes vacant.

"I am the Birah Star Alien, conqueror of the entire universe."

"I now appoint you as our subordinate to assist us in invading Earth."

"Today, when you were on the plane, we paused time and implanted the thoughts of the Birah Star Aliens into your brain."

"Your body is now Doctor Tsuchihashi, but your mind has been completely assimilated by us!"

"From now on, you will obey my orders and faithfully serve the conquest of Earth."

Doctor Tsuchihashi nodded blankly.

"Tomorrow morning, go and destroy the core of the radar, and then find a way to destroy the TPC base."

"Be careful, there is a troublesome guy on Earth named Qi Ming. Be wary of this person."

"Our 'allies' on Earth will protect you, so go ahead and do it."

After speaking, the Birah Star Alien's figure disappeared, and Doctor Tsuchihashi lay down again as time resumed its flow.

Outside, Kishida, who was on duty yawning, seemed to sense something. He opened the door but only saw Doctor Tsuchihashi, who had kicked off his covers and was sleeping soundly.

Just a false alarm, Kishida thought.

The next day, Kishida escorted Doctor Tsuchihashi to the radar room, where the other members of the Defense Team were already waiting.

"Team Member Qi Ming, install this into the third circuit."

After observing for a while, Doctor Tsuchihashi took out a box, and everyone realized it contained the "Tsuchihashi Rectifier."

Upon hearing his name called, Qi Ming immediately understood that they were targeting him.

He declined, "Sorry, I'm not very good with machinery and I'm afraid I might break it. Let someone else do it."

Kishida took the opportunity to retort, "All you know is how to be brave and fight, engaging in crooked ways, and you're clueless about important matters. Doctor, let me do it."

Doctor Tsuchihashi insisted that Qi Ming do it: "It's okay if you don't know, you can learn. I'll teach you."

He wanted to give him such an important opportunity to learn? Was the Doctor treating him too well, just because he was handsome?

Nagi Saijo and Emi were a bit confused, while Kishida and Yamanaka were indignant. Mamoru Shirogane's expression shifted slightly.

Qi Ming thought for a moment and then smiled, "Alright, you're never too old to learn."

With that, he took the box and opened it. Inside was the Tsuchihashi Rectifier—it looked like an earphone cover?

"It's done," Qi Ming finished quickly.

Doctor Tsuchihashi nodded, "Very good. After replacement, the radar's sensing ability will reach a new level."

The next moment...

"Bang!" The various precision instruments in the radar room suddenly exploded, sparks flying and alarms blaring.

Instead of expanding, the radar's sensing range had stopped working!

TPC was on high alert, as the radar was as crucial to the base's defense as their own eyes!

"Defense Team, emergency assembly!"

With Yu Tsuchihashi and the two Chief Staff officers absent, the current world situation was complex, and they were swamped. Chief of Staff Kiriyama was in charge of dealing with this incident.

"I believe everyone knows that the radar system malfunctioned today, and the cause is still unknown."

"Our base has always been a target for alien invaders. This incident is definitely not a simple accident!"

Doctor Tsuchihashi, standing beside him, said, "I fear there's already an alien spy mixed into this base."

As everyone erupted in discussion, he looked at Qi Ming, "Team Member Qi Ming, you took the rectifier from my hand. Did you replace it with something else?"

Qi Ming was prepared: "When replacing the rectifier, weren't you directing from the side the whole time, Doctor?"

Dr. Tsuchihashi: "After all, I'm only human. I wouldn't dare say everything I see is the truth."

Yamanaka started his usual sarcastic remarks: "Speaking of speed, Team Member Qi Ming is indeed exceptionally skilled."

Kishida fanned the flames: "You're the most abnormal one among us. Before, you claimed you single-handedly drove off two monsters in the mountains. If that's true, then it's definitely not something a human could do."

In reality, they didn't believe Qi Ming could have done it either, because the guy seemed completely clueless about machinery.

They just wanted to seize the opportunity to badger Qi Ming, to embarrass the arrogant fellow in public, to curb his arrogance, and to teach him to be humble when facing his seniors in Japan.

Nagi Saijo didn't engage in such childish games.

She glanced at the message on her phone, her gaze shifting: "Team Member Qi Ming, the customs officials have replied. There's no record of you... How did you enter Japan?"

As this bombshell dropped, everyone present changed color.

This guy, he really did "appear out of thin air"?

Qi Ming looked at Mamoru Shirogane. At this point, he could have gotten away with fabricating a story like, "He's a talent I invited through special channels, so there's no record."

But unfortunately, when Mamoru Shirogane was captain, he lacked the ability for "white lies." He looked anxious but helpless.

There was no other way...

Seeing the growing suspicion in everyone's eyes, Qi Ming raised his hands: "Fine, I confess! That's right, it was all me!"

Mamoru Shirogane: "?"

Dr. Tsuchihashi: "?"

What kind of twisted logic is this? Am I the alien, or are you the alien?
