Time flies, and the Earth's defense force has a new name and a new base. The Phoenix Nest base was converted into a museum, silently recording the period when humans and the giants of light joined hands to protect this unique planet.
The history of the planet.
Perhaps because it was a working day, there were not many visitors in the museum. The logos of the past defense forces were hung in a row in the middle of the empty hall, each one corresponding to the statue of a giant of light. Approaching Brother in the Future
They looked at their statues, and then looked at their own. The spotlights on the roof cast a thin shadow on the logo that read CREW; GUYS, and fell on Ultraman Mebius's shoulder.
From the different fighter models of different defense forces, to a brief introduction to the Warriors of Light, to the review of important battles and even the reappearance of images - Mirai holds the visitor's brochure picked up at the entrance and a portable explainer on his shoulder
, with headphones in his ears, he watched the entire exhibition carefully. When he walked to the exit of the museum and was about to see the exhibition board with "Epilogue" written on it, what was ringing in the headphones was not what happened in these few hours.
Instead of the mechanical female voice that had been explaining it to him, it was a voice he was more familiar with:
""Hello, Future. Please don't leave in a hurry."
""Turn right, then left again. There is a small internal door at the end of the corridor, which can be opened with your facial recognition information. Welcome back to the Phoenix Nest."
That was the voice of Captain Qishui.
The future was stunned for a moment, and then his legs started running faster than his consciousness. Turn right and then left, and then at the door at the end of the corridor, Phoenix Nest Base, this is not a narrow, arched corridor
It has to be like a century.
"Facial recognition is successful, welcome him, Hibino Mirai."
"He should know your experience: you once served as the captain of a large team of the Kurt team's space exploration team, flying at sub-light speed in the universe. Due to the effect of relativity, in addition to flying in the universe for a year, there are still people under the earth.
Seven years or even ten years have not passed. During that period, you were unable to communicate with the earth. Once you take off, it will take a long time to return. Even if the earth is experiencing frequent attacks by monsters, you will not be able to accompany it.
Beside your old comrades-in-arms. When you return to Earth, many of your former comrades have not yet died, and your bad friends of the same age are not yet gray-haired old men, but you are still young.
"As if time has been thrown in front of you, you once felt lonely because of this; unable to fight side by side with your old partners, your partners were separated from you, and you also felt regretful and happy about this.
"You want to see him wallowing in the sorrow of the past, and you also want to see your memories drag him down and bring him eternal happiness. In the future, he will also meet new partners and protect the peace of the universe with us.
Creating fewer good and bad memories together is the most important thing. As for you, there is no romantic saying on earth: the dead will turn into stars in the world. As long as he looks up at the stars, he will often think of you.
This is just enough.
It turns out that Captain Qishui may have understood my simple mood now even after I left the earth. These blurry photos, some of which are in low focus, and photos that appear far and near, turned out that the photographers of these photos were Captain Qishui. Photos
In addition, we held meetings, wrote reports, and went out to work, quarreled and got into trouble over trivial matters, worried about Mrs. Sunrise being too cold, frightened because of the sudden appearance of Big Airei King, and frightened because of Meng Tan Congzhi.
Bios was so happy that he danced with joy after his failure... The most extraordinary daily scenes captured by slow shutter speeds once turned into the flames of phoenix nirvana in the noisy world shrouded in white darkness, and now they are once again in the long world.
The river of time turns into memories, wind, and wings.
If it must be forced water...
"Of course, you never gave up trying to get in touch with him. You used meteor technology to send a Tulaiga gun to the Kingdom of Light, and the voice recorded by Xiaojia was stored outside, which is also a souvenir. I am sure he is still there
It would be the worst if he didn't receive that ordinary gift - he must have not received it, maybe there was a problem during the transportation, so he kept a backup copy outside the war room, and I hope he can't keep it as a souvenir.
Ultraman Meng knows that I will take off on the wind. There will be no regrets about seeing each other again and no regrets about saying goodbye. With the blessings of my friends, I will fly to the distant future.
But there was no way I could hold back my tears in the future. I returned to the center of the war room and cried loudly in front of this unfamiliar group photo. Outside of the chronicle of the slow door sound, I was a bird passing under the sea.
Bird. I once cast a glimpse into the lives of my friends, and now I have passed through their lives in just a few minutes. I have passed through the decades of my absence. What is so important to me?
Decades are too short to say, but are too long for our partners. When the slow joy and sorrow, the missing longings and concerns in those decades condensed from illusory emotions into Tulaiga
The heartfelt words outside the gun were once again embodied in the wall of pictures fluttering behind my eyes. No one could tell me how I could be regretful or shed tears?
"What is he thinking about in the future?
So, Hibino Mirai once again stood at the door of the Phoenix Nest Base. The base that once seemed strange to me has now changed.
"In the future, will he be bad? Then it will be forced water.
When the photos on both sides were taken, I should not have left the earth yet, so they show a more exclusive scene for me: my friends in those photos are working, falling in love, getting married, having children, and raising their children.
There are often figures of other acquaintances from the future: acting director Misaki, veteran secretary Madoka, Aya-san, new team member Harusaki whom I have met once before, Marine Team's Yuyu and Aiso's chief operating officer, Dr. Fujisawa, the cafeteria manager.
Sister Sunrise... It can be seen from the few group photos included that we still get together often, have the same life, and strive for the same dream. But as the future moves towards the other side of the war room
At the same time, our lives have entered a similar twilight years - the future looks like the one I have seen us in before. I need to concentrate more to identify the white-haired old people in the photo as Zheping, George, and Long.
Or the water captain, who wears reading glasses or myopia glasses, and only the old lady who is the bad guy or Mariina.
After taking a closer look in the future, these group photos seemed a bit unfamiliar: even though I often appear in the photos, I don't seem to have seen those photos before. The perspective of the photos is not weird, the back or the profile.
The photo accounts for less than half, and the distance between the photographer and the photographer seems to be far and near. Sometimes there is only a blurry back in the photo, and sometimes it seems to be directly behind the face of the person being photographed; the photo seems to be based on
Arranged in chronological order, there is no obvious seasonal change in the clothing of the young people in the photos. The photographer's photography skills also seem to be gradually improving. The end is often not blurry, but the focus is low, which becomes worse as time goes by.
As more and more photos are taken, the composition of the photos becomes rougher and rougher.
"The lifespan of you humans is not a thousand times different from that of the Ultra clan. That is a fact that cannot be changed. Xiaojia will inevitably have to leave him behind and take the first step. But what you really want to say is: in the future, you understand
He. You understand his loneliness, his regrets and happiness, because you have experienced it before. On that destined road, he is not alone.
Ultraman Yume's expression showed neither sadness nor happiness. I just stood here hesitantly, as if he was just reporting on his daily routine work.
I couldn't bear to look at the smiles of my colleagues anymore, so I turned my back. The long table in the center of the command room was empty, except for a conspicuous envelope placed under my seat, which almost blended into the table. The envelope
My name was written complicatedly on the bottom, and there were no other additional notes. So Mirai opened the envelope with doubts, and unfolded the letter paper, which was thick but slightly yellowed due to the age.
"...Tulaiga Gun...you received...Captain...Xiaojia..." Impacted by too strong emotions, words and thoughts became fragmented. Even if it was just a handwritten letter, as long as it was forced water
What the captain wrote, the bad image didn't have the soothing magic power - Mirai finally stopped crying, but his hands still trembled as he turned over the letter.
"Go ahead." I said, giving a reassuring smile.
The most eye-catching thing is this group photo that has been placed under the display shelf. It was carefully framed before being reduced in size. Because the pixels are low, it is not blurry. Surrounding the group photo are photos from when Mirai was still at GUYS, young people.
Wearing the GUYS team uniform, they look high-spirited; extending to both sides are photos of each GUYS team member. The faces of the young people outside the photos gradually become mature and stable, and finally take on the color of aging.
"Does he still remember? Once, Xiaojia discussed "what should be taken in the photos" outside the war room. At this time, you said that Xiaojia would tend to take pictures of the people and things he likes as a record of the best and bad moments. Now
, ask him to take another look at the photos next to your group photo hanging directly opposite the long table.
"You deliberately took those photos just to record the most precious memories. In the future, even if you have no chance to stay with him all the time, even if the encounter with him is so brief, you will still be with him and with your little family.
This time together is the best and worst time you have ever experienced. You once truly embraced that time, and it was like a miracle. Even if you feel lonely, regretful, and happy now, this is what you
The part that can be separated by law is the part that is willing to be given up no matter what.
Zuo Fei looked at Meng Tan Satoshi and sighed. I thought of Shingo Qishui, the earthling who once had the same heart as me, the captain of Ultraman Meng under the earth. If it was definitely Qishui, what would he do?
"What is he thinking about in the future? No matter what, please let him continue to retreat with a smile on his face, taking those good and bad memories with him.
Photos of the family, photos taken at various times and places, photos of single people, photos of few people and landscape photos with no one around, photos with everyone looking at the camera and no one paying attention to the camera
There were not even a few photos of monsters and Ultraman Tan Congzhi mixed in among them. The air flow when opening the door blew the photos, causing a fluttering sound; from the floor to the ceiling, there were a small number of them.
The colorful photos almost flooded the war room - Future felt as if he was in an ocean.
Zuo Fei suddenly realized something. I signed my name on the document approving the vacation and handed the document to Meng Tan Congzhi.
The electronic lock suddenly released, and the small metal door slid quickly and leisurely to both sides, and the things outside the door quickly showed its full picture - the future can be seen at a glance, it is when I am stationed on the earth, CREW; GUYS; JAPAN
The war room. Because no one has retreated for a long time, there is inevitably some dust accumulated under the objects, but overall it is still clean and tidy. Only the tables and chairs provided quietly repeat the layout and layout of the young queen, as if we were still there an hour later.
There, they discuss the recent monster attack or the latest gossip. The only difference is that the walls of the war room are covered with photos.
Asking for leave from Captain Zoffy didn't take long. The younger brother of the Ultra Brothers is very considerate of our eldest brother. Plus, Ultraman Meng occasionally works seriously. Is there any situation that can defuse the situation?
Naturally, it is a problem for the earth to take a short-term annual vacation - even if Meng Tan Congzhi said that he wanted to travel around the solar system, who would care about me, as long as he comes back after the balance of the vacation is used up. Only when Zuo Fei signed the hand did he hear his younger brother say
There was a pause when I "went to visit a friend". Thinking of the Tulaiga Gun that caused a sensation in the Kingdom of Light, I quickly considered my words and asked in the harshest tone possible:
"I know if he can see the letter, but only if he can read it, so you guys should not be alive yet.
That ocean finally ended in a few similar photos: Although the old people were sitting under the hospital bed, they seemed to have made a special appointment, making V-sign gestures to the camera and smiling happily, as if to tell me: I have seen the future.
? You have all lived a happy life, so please shed tears for you.
"Ultraman Meng, he should know..."
"Future, please cry. You guess he will shed tears when he sees that outside. He is a child who values affection and justice. You and Xiaojia are both vague about that, so we prepared and arranged the place."
Everything. You have lived a happy life in those decades, and there is nothing worth regretting. You have to let your friends know that.
"you know."
"In the future, please forget the meaning of his name. This is the hope of Captain Ban, and the hope of every member of GUYS: you sincerely hope that he can live happily every day in the future.
"So, as the captain of GUYS, this is the end of what you want to convey to him on behalf of my family. There is nothing you personally want to say on the back of the letter, and I hope he can take a look at it.
