Chapter 143: Nominal Operations Staff Officer
"I've called everyone here today to introduce a new member to you." Captain Sakami called everyone together, and Assistant Officer Toriyama and Secretary Yuan also rushed over.

Everyone seemed to be in a bad mood, a little depressed. Obviously, the sudden decision to join GUYS still caused a lot of trouble for everyone.

For example, George the Dove is a well-known football player. Joining GUYS means he is going to bid farewell to the field. Newspapers are everywhere reporting the news of George's retirement. His long absence has caused a lot of public opinion in the outside world.

Marina, a well-known racing driver, also has similar troubles.

As for the beauty of wood, it is simply because she can’t bear to leave the kindergarten children behind.

Teppei also looked tired. Yesterday he called up the images of Ultraman fighting Gudun and Dinozoru and watched them over and over again. He has always been very interested in this kind of thing.

Among the few people, only Zheping has no worries at work. However, as a young master from a wealthy family, he obviously has more family worries.

"Is he the combat staff officer transferred here by the director-general?" Assistant Officer Toriyama asked cautiously after hearing what Sakumui said.

"Operation staff?" Everyone was shocked and attracted by this word.

"Yes, he is a nominal combat staff officer transferred from the headquarters by the director. He has done a lot of research on monsters and is an expert in this field. If a monster appears and is difficult to defeat, everyone can discuss combat plans with him."

"However, he has no real power, he is just a figurehead, and he is free to act at will. If you want to find him, you need to contact him in advance using the memory display device."

"He's just a figurehead, with no real power. That's good, that's good." Assistant Officer Toriyama breathed a sigh of relief. He thought he was a powerful staff officer transferred from the headquarters, who would come to compete with him for the command of GUYS.

"Hello." The door of the command room was pushed open, and a young man with medium-long hair walked in with a smile. The young man was wearing a GUYS uniform and looked to be in his twenties. His smile was warm and friendly.

"I'm Ishikawa Akira, a temporary operations advisor from GUYS headquarters. Please give me your guidance in the future."

"Haha, since the director transferred you here, he must trust you very much. If you encounter any problems in GUYS in the future, just come to me." Toriyama had an exaggerated smile on his face, like a chrysanthemum. He raised his head and patted Ishikawa Akira's shoulder, looking like he was taking on a big responsibility. Captain Sakami next to him had a meaningful smile on his face, but didn't say anything.

"Then I'll trouble Assistant Officer Toriyama."

The people below were all looking at the new combat staff officer with curiosity, except Wei Lai, who slightly frowned and looked at Ishikawa Akira with a barely noticeable glance in his eyes.

As a life form of light, he has a naturally strong sense of perception and can distinguish many different auras.

These auras can be from Ultraman, monsters, or of course humans.

However, since humans have much weaker life energy than monsters, their breath is also much weaker. If the breath of monsters is compared to a blazing fire, then the breath of humans is like a candle flame that can be blown out at will.

Even the candlelight can remember the breath of different human beings in the future, such as the people in the Phoenix Nest. He will come into contact with them every day and naturally remember the breath of these people.

However, he could not sense the aura of Staff Officer Ishikawa in front of him. Even if he concentrated all his perception abilities, he could not see through him. He just vaguely felt that he was unusual.

Captain Sakami took a sip of coffee in his hand, then introduced several team members to Ishikawa Akira.

Just after introducing a few people, suddenly, the alarm in the command room sounded.

The image of Acting Director Misaki Yuki was projected on the large screen in the command room: "I am conveying the order from headquarters. The Big Bear Volcano suddenly erupted. Near the crater, the detection satellite captured a black shadow about 60 meters high. Please go and investigate immediately!"

"GIG!"

The few people who seemed relaxed just now immediately tensed up, and then Ryu Aihara, Mirai and three others drove the Phoenix to the Big Bear Volcano.

Teppei and Kinomi stayed behind to take charge of monster data dispatch and battle analysis. After a while, Marina and Mirai sent over a video clip, in which a large amount of grass and trees withered and white mist rose, a lifeless scene.

"They're all withered. This is really strange." Zheping asked in confusion.

"Of course it's weird, that's why I sent you the picture." Marina complained helplessly.

"I'm sorry. If something withers, it will usually spread over a larger area. If it's only this area that withers..."

"What's wrong? Was there an earthquake?"

Before Teppei could finish his words, he was interrupted by Marina. It was suspected that an earthquake had occurred at the Okuma Volcano. In the video, Marina and the other person kept screaming and couldn't even stand steadily.

"Ryu!" Mirai immediately contacted Ryu Aihara using the memory display.

In the other direction of the Big Bear Volcano, Aihara Ryu held the memory display device and looked at George in confusion: "Strange, why is there no vibration here?"

"Could it be?"

Amid the violent shaking, the ground began to collapse. With a cry, a bird-shaped monster broke through the ground and appeared in front of everyone.

"Marina, run." Mirai shouted, and seeing Marina running forward, he turned around without hesitation and ran in another direction.

When Marina looked back, the future was no longer there.

"How could this happen? Another monster appeared." Toriyama wailed with a sad face.

"It seems that the period of frequent monster appearances that was declared over 25 years ago has come again." Yuan explained on the side.

"Can't you say something auspicious?" Toriyama immediately scolded him.

"Kinomi, check the archives and data at the headquarters." Sasui looked at Kinomi and ordered.

GUYS inherited the huge database of the Earth's defense forces of all generations and possesses a large amount of monster data, which is also one of the powerful foundations of this force.

"No need, that's the volcanic bird - Patton." Ishikawa Akira on the side stopped him.

He had long been familiar with this powerful monster in the Ultra World.

This strange bird defeated many Ultramen and even allowed Zoffy, whose strength and prestige in the Ultra Guard was second only to Ultraman's father, to be awarded the title of Captain Flamehead.

"Is it Patton?" Teppei exclaimed.

"What's wrong with Patton?" Toriyama looked at Teppei nervously, afraid that he would reveal some bad news.

"Patton is a monster that once took the life of an Ultra Warrior." Akira Ishikawa continued.

"Oh, eh~ Did Ultraman die?" Kinomi just replied, then suddenly reacted and looked at Ishikawa Akimichi in shock.

"When Ultraman's timer goes out, that's when Ultraman will lose his life." Ishikawa Akira explained, and then said, "The strongest attack method of the Volcano Bird Barton is the two poison sacs at the corners of its mouth. After being injected with toxins, even Ultra Warriors will lose their combat effectiveness. Hurry up and notify Long and the others to break the monster's poison sacs!"
