Chapter 15 Charlie Appears Early
Duolue returned to the Green Membrane Hotel, his steps steady and powerful, revealing an unquestionable authority.
The soft lighting in the hotel lobby illuminated his weathered face, making it appear even more profound. He went straight to the hotel's presidential suite to enhance the Shirbagun and Gadi for the Kirielod.
Meanwhile, Daigo and Rena were enjoying a romantic date in the hotel restaurant. The restaurant was decorated warmly and elegantly, and the soft candlelight made their faces appear exceptionally gentle.
Lina looked at Daigo, her eyes sparkling with happiness: "Daigo, I never expected you to spend so much money on a date with me. You must really like me." Her words carried a hint of playfulness, but more than anything, they were filled with anticipation.
Daigo lowered his head shyly, a blush creeping onto his face. "Well... yes, I just like it." His voice was soft, but it was full of determination and sincerity.
Just then, the restaurant door was suddenly pushed open, and a short, rather fat man with pale skin, resembling a clown, wearing a suit, carrying a briefcase, walked in. This man was Charlie.
Charlie's gaze swept around the restaurant before finally settling on Daigo and Lina.
He walked straight over and said urgently, "I want to see the owner of the Green Membrane Hotel. I know there are monsters in the Duolue, and I want to buy them!" His voice carried an unyielding determination.
Daigo and Rena exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes. They knew there were indeed monsters in the raid, but it had always been a secret. How did Charlie find out?
It turns out that Charlie had seen Duolue summon monsters by throwing out monster cards at crucial moments many times, and he firmly believed that Duolue must have real monsters.
Hearing unfamiliar voices coming from inside the hotel, Duo Lue frowned slightly, put down his work, and went outside. When he saw Charlie, a flicker of wariness crossed his eyes.
Charlie didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point: "I know you have monsters. Name your price, I'll buy them."
Duolue's eyes deepened, and he looked at Charlie suspiciously: "You want to buy monsters? Do you think you're a real monster buyer? If so, then my monsters might be for sale."
His words carried an unfathomable meaning, making it impossible for anyone to grasp his true thoughts.
Duolue frowned slightly. He remembered that Charlie was a character who appeared a few episodes before Gatanothor appeared. How come he has appeared earlier now?
He couldn't help but ask the system, "System, I remember Charlie appeared a few episodes before Gatanothor appeared, how come he's showing up now?"
The system's voice rang in his mind: "You accidentally threw out a monster card and Charlie noticed, which caused Charlie to appear early to buy monsters. But don't worry, Gatanothor won't appear until all the monsters have appeared."
Duolue breathed a slight sigh of relief, thinking, "Although I have monsters, I will not sell them. My monsters are very important to me."
After all, we still need Charlie's time machine to travel through time and space to other worlds! He looked at Charlie, who immediately took out his monster buyer's certificate to show Duolue.
Duolue's brows furrowed again, and he asked, "Tell me why you wanted to buy the monster?"
Charlie's answer was simple and direct: "The reason is simple: to challenge Ultraman. Now, can you sell me the monster?"
A thought flashed through his mind, and he casually replied to Charlie, "I'm sorry, I had a big client yesterday who sold out all the monsters. There are no more monsters left."
"But it's okay, I'll introduce you to someone, Eiji, the director at Tsuburaya Productions in 1965, he has monsters there."
Duolue chuckled inwardly. He knew that Charlie needed a time machine to find the director of Eiji II in 1965, and that way he could temporarily get rid of Charlie's entanglement.
Charlie's eyes gleamed with determination; he seemed to have made up his mind.
"You mean if I go back to 1965 and find director Eiji Tsuburaya, I can buy the monster from him?"
His voice held a hint of anticipation. Duolue nodded casually and replied, "That's right, he has monsters."
Such an answer was just a casual remark to Duolue, but to Charlie, it was like receiving a map to his dream.
Charlie didn't say anything more. After receiving Duolue's reply, he turned and left.
Duolue chuckled inwardly, thinking that Charlie was truly a typical example of "one who dares to speak and one who dares to act".
Just then, Daigo unexpectedly saw that Charlie's reflection in the mirror was not human, which made him feel incredible and filled him with all sorts of questions.
Daigo immediately realized something was wrong and said to Lina, "Lina, our date is over for today. I'm leaving."
After saying goodbye to Rena, Daigo followed. When he saw the time portal, he became even more convinced that there was something fishy going on.
Daigo stepped into the time machine without hesitation, while Duolue quietly followed.
They arrived in 1965 together, and Charlie had been searching for director Eiji Tsuburaya, but unfortunately, he couldn't find him.
Meanwhile, Daigo secretly followed Charlie. Along the way, he discovered a person who looked exactly like the boss of Duolue. This was Duolue himself, who had traveled from another time.
Daigo was filled with doubt. He didn't know what was going on, but he knew he had to find out the truth.
Duolue and director Eiji Tsuburaya were engaged in a lively discussion. Duolue deliberately steered the conversation, saying, "How could Ultraman possibly exist in this world? He's just a figment of our imagination."
This was his test; he wanted to see Eiji's reaction.
Director Eiji fell for it as expected, his tone firm and proud: "I've seen it, the red gem in my hand is proof."
As he spoke, he took out the red gem and showed it to Duolue. Duolue feigned surprise, his performance incredibly realistic: "Wow, this is unbelievable! I never thought Ultraman actually existed!"
While Eiji was bewildered by his surprise, Duolue secretly returned the fake ruby to Eiji.
Eiji didn't notice anything wrong with the gem ball; he was satisfied with the surprise and admiration of the stunt.
After Duolue left, he carefully examined the red gem. To him, it was just an ordinary energy ball.
Thus, the thief unleashed a powerful pressure, plundering the energy from the red gem to strengthen Evil Tiga.
Just as Duolue stepped out, Daigu hurriedly caught up with him. He asked directly, "Excuse me, do you know Boss Duolue?"
Duo Lue was startled, but he remained calm on the surface. He knew he had to be careful and not let Daigo discover his true identity and plans.
Duolue pretended to know nothing and replied to Daigo, "I don't know him, but the name Duolue sounds like an ordinary boss." He tried to convince Daigo that he was just an insignificant character.
Daigo, however, was not buying it. He replied, "Duolue is indeed an unremarkable boss. Last time, when monsters appeared while we were trapped in the Magic Mirror, it was the GUTS team who protected us."
After they parted ways, Charlie went inside to buy monsters from Tsuburaya Productions. But when he learned the truth, Charlie was extremely disappointed: "Ah, there are no monsters at all. The monsters there are all actors."
Although Charlie didn't manage to buy the monster, he learned from Eiji that a monster named Yanagaki was sealed in Lake Ryusei. Charlie immediately turned his attention to Yanagaki.
As evening approached, Charlie, not daring to delay, hurried forward and arrived at Lake Longsen. Standing by the lake, he paused for a moment, but immediately realized what was happening and quickly took two steps back.
Next, Charlie transformed into his Cosmic Demon form, unleashing immense power and breaking the seal. With the seal broken, the Cosmic Dinosaur Yanagaki appeared.
Charlie excitedly shouted, "Yanagaki, I, Charlie, have come to take you back! Hehehehe, start going crazy, wreak havoc!"
His voice was filled with fervor and anticipation, as if he could already see himself challenging Ultraman. However, he had no idea what the consequences of his actions would be, or the challenges he would face.
Yanagaki's gaze swept across the town without lingering for a moment; it needed to stretch its muscles more thoroughly.
It not only intended to wreak havoc, but also to destroy the nearby town. It slowly approached the town, preparing to attack. Every step it took carried a heavy sense of oppression, as if it wanted to raze the entire town to the ground.
Daigo also arrived here. He subconsciously took a few steps back because he vaguely sensed a huge surge of energy emanating from the lake.
Daigo had just moved to the lakeside when he saw the monster. His expression turned grim, and he immediately began transforming into Ultraman Tiga, preparing for battle. At that moment, he became resolute, ready to meet the challenge that was about to begin.
Meanwhile, Duolue hid in a corner, watching the performance for the time being. To his surprise, Duolue felt that Daigu seemed to have become smarter.
He commented, "Yanagaki's abnormal energy absorption skills are not to be underestimated, Daigo, you'd better be careful!" His words carried a hint of concern, but also a hint of expectation, looking forward to seeing the outcome of this battle.
When Yanagaki saw Tiga, it recalled the memories of being sealed away by the original Ultraman, and its heart was filled with resentment, its eyes becoming complicated. It angrily charged at Tiga, ready to strike.
Tiga quickly switched to Power Type, blocking Yanagaki's attack. Although Power Type isn't as fast, it has powerful explosive force, making it more commonly used.
In this battle, Tiga must unleash his full power to defeat Yanagaki.
Although Yanagaki was badly hurt, it quickly calmed down. Its attack power wasn't that great; surprisingly, it wasn't as bad as they had expected.
Its ability to absorb Ultraman's energy is extremely powerful, giving it an advantage in battle.
Yanagaki grabbed Tiga and began absorbing his power. An indescribable feeling surged through Tiga's body as all his strength was gradually drained, leaving him from full strength to near-death. He no longer had the power to resist, and everything before his eyes began to blur. It was incredibly painful.
Daigo thought desperately, "I can't die. I still have so much to do. I need to become stronger. I need to evolve into Shining Tiga through my own efforts."
His heart was filled with resentment and determination, but he was now unable to move and could only watch helplessly as his energy was absorbed by Yanagaki.
Soon, Tiga was controlled by Yanagaki, and his energy was gradually absorbed. Tiga's red warning light indicated that his energy was about to run out.
The townspeople were stunned. Ultraman was actually at a disadvantage and seemed to have little energy left.
In this critical situation, Eiji, standing nearby, said nervously, "You have to win, Ultraman!"
After speaking, Eiji emitted a light that soared into the sky, revealing the original Ultraman. Seeing the original appear, Eiji finally breathed a sigh of relief. He believed that the original's arrival would change the course of the battle, save Tiga, and protect the town.
