What do you mean I have to fight Ultraman Tiga?

“Alright, Karen, let’s turn the communication output power up to the maximum and broadcast directly into the multiverse… If we’re lucky, the TPC might receive it!”

Thus, a distress signal was sent from faster-than-light space to the distant multiverse.

This is a signal that will never fade away.

Chapter 203 "I can't write it, I'm not capable of writing it."

To celebrate his parents' arrival, Li Xiang personally cooked a big meal to mark the occasion.

Li Xiang's parents sat quietly on the living room sofa, smiling, as if waiting for something.

Just then, there was another knock on the door.

Li Xiang washed his hands, put on his apron, and ran to open the door.

Upon opening the door, one sees a foreigner dressed in a dark trench coat and a round hat, resembling a British detective from a classic film.

"Hello, my name is Lü Mofei, and I'm the head of the deep space exploration team."

"Deep Space Exploration Team?" Li Xiang recalled. "Oh, is there something you need from me?"

Li Xiang remembered the Deep Space Exploration Team, an organization he often saw in the news, which was responsible for handling unusual events on Earth.

However, Li Xiang was just an employee of a special effects film company that was about to go bankrupt, and he had never encountered any unusual phenomena, so what did the deep space exploration team want from him?

"I want to talk to you about something. This is my identification. As the deep space exploration team is carrying out a mission, you are obligated to cooperate with me."

Lu Mofei also directly took out her identification and spoke to Li Xiang in a firm tone.

Li Xiang looked at the documents in Lu Mofei's hand, as well as the other members around him, and then looked at his parents in the room.

"Okay... but hurry up, my family is waiting for lunch."

Lu Mofei nodded, moved aside, and ushered Li Xiang out.

They arrived at a corner. The other members kept watch from the surroundings, while Lü Mofei began questioning Li Xiang.

"You're the one who fell from the meteor shower that night and came to Earth?"

"What are you talking about? What meteor? I'm an Earthling." Li Xiang looked at Lü Mofei as if she were an idiot.

"You...you said you're from Earth? You mean you've always been on Earth, right?" Upon hearing Li Xiang's answer, Lü Mofei paused involuntarily, then subconsciously took out her notebook and began to memorize.

That's what detectives are like.

"Could it be? Of course I've always been on Earth. Am I some kind of alien?"

"Alright then... Do you know Eiji Tsuburaya?" As if she had thought of something, Lu Mofei turned the question to Eiji Tsuburaya.

"Of course I know, he's the former boss of the company I work for now, so what?"

"I mean, are you familiar with him?"

"How could I possibly know him? The old man is retired. How could I possibly know him?"

Have you ever heard of "penworm"?

"No, could it be a bug that eats pens?"

"So... do you know about giants?" Lu Mofei thought for a moment and asked the last question.

After all, Lu Mofei wouldn't let those guys like Penworm distort reality, so he still remembered the giant monster and giant that appeared at Dragon Forest Lake a few days ago.

This incident was also recorded in the meme contamination archives by the deep space exploration team.

"Giants...what are those? I don't know."

Li Xiang answered with a puzzled look.

Lu Mofei continued taking notes.

The answer is now obvious: Lü Mofei has determined that Li Xiang has been contaminated with memes by penworms or some other entity.

His memories, his past, have all been erased.

Currently, in his own perception, and even in the perceptions of others, Li Xiang is just an ordinary company employee responsible for shooting an unpopular special effects movie.

Therefore, Lü Mofei can be certain that what the pen worm fears is perhaps Li Xiang himself, or some powerful being behind him.

Otherwise, why would Penbug deliberately contaminate Li Xiang with memes?

Although Li Xiang is completely beyond revival now, at least Lü Mofei has found a breakthrough.

"I'm sorry to bother you, but there have been some unusual assaults in the area recently, so we're conducting an investigation. That concludes my question. Enjoy your meal."

After Lu Mofei finished speaking, she deliberately reached out and shook hands with Li Xiang before leaving.

Li Xiang looked at the note in his hand; it was left by Lü Mofei.

Li Xiang looked at the strange note, but still opened it to take a look.

Open the note, and there was only one sentence written on it: If everything around you were actually fake, would you have the courage to break free from these shackles?

"baffling."

Li Xiang crumpled the paper into a ball and threw it away.

Ordinary days continued, and Li Xiang had become a very busy person, always working at the company.

Because even ordinary days are accompanied by company layoffs and bankruptcies.

The company has carried out massive layoffs.

But Li Xiang was very lucky; he wasn't laid off, and even got promoted with the director's help.

But scientifically, the director was laid off.

During this period, there have been more and more abnormal phenomena around the world, including large-scale abnormal intrusions that have caused a large number of casualties.

As a result, Tsuburaya Productions' monster-themed special effects movies, which they had been producing for a long time, were met with public resistance.

Under pressure from public opinion, the company halted the production of a monster movie that was in progress.

In the future, the company may shift its focus to filming other genres.

However, due to the problems that have arisen recently, the company is now operating at a loss and has no choice but to lay off employees.

"Director, they shouldn't treat you like this. You've been a long-time employee of the company for a while now. They can't lay you off!"

At the dinner table, Li Xiang, the director, and other friends were drinking alone in silence.

“Hey, Hibiki, this isn’t as simple as it seems.” The director took a sip of strong liquor. “Actually, I also have my own problems. I’ve been thinking of quitting and taking a break… I’m lacking inspiration. I haven’t been able to write the kind of story I want lately.”

"Monsters, monsters... and something's wrong. Nobody watches monster movies anymore."

"But...didn't you tell me before that I should have passion?" Li Xiang said, also drinking strong liquor, looking dejected.

So does everyone else.

The passion, the passion has been completely worn away.

The public dislikes monster movies, and some even say that filming monsters destroying cities is an omen of something abnormal, and that they are supporting those beasts.

Moreover, the monster director also lost his inspiration in such a life and was unable to create excellent scripts.

All these issues piled up on the company, leading it to decide to transform and stop making monster movies.

By the way, the director's name is Orio Kaneshiro.

Originally, he was just a scriptwriter, but after Mr. Tsuburaya retired and the company's internal development was hindered, he took the initiative to take on the role of director with enthusiasm, and even took on scriptwriting and other work.

He was probably the hardest working person during the filming of this movie.

However, this movie can no longer be completed.

“Director Jin Cheng, I think you can definitely write a good script, and the company shouldn’t give up on monster movies… I know it will be hard to make money doing this, but how… how can we just give up like this?”

Li Xiang was drunk, but he still waved his hand to cheer Jin Cheng on.

"I can't write it, I'm not capable of writing it."

Director Jin Cheng, on the other hand, was simply smoking and drinking.

Everyone was still half asleep, waiting for the sunrise to announce its arrival.

The announcement of the ending.

Chapter 204 The Girl in Red Shoes

For the next few days, Li Xiang was busy with work.

He wore a suit all day and went to find other companies to invest in Tsuburaya Productions' monster movies.

"Sir, it's not that we don't want to invest, but monster movies..."

"There are monsters everywhere, why bother watching monster movies?"

"Let's go, let's go. Our company has no interest in investing in a project that's about to go bankrupt."

After a busy day, no one was willing to invest in the monster movie. In fact, many people didn't even listen to Li Xiang. As soon as they found out that Li Xiang was from Tsuburaya Productions, they simply chose not to meet him.

After a busy day, Li Xiang dragged his tired body home in the sunset.

"I'm so tired... Is the monster movie genre really coming to an end?"

Li Xiang came to a lawn and looked at the setting sun, feeling a sense of melancholy.

On the lawn, many children are playing with their friends.

Flying kites, playing house, or chasing and playing around.

"It's wonderful that these children...don't have the pressures of life..."

Then, Li Xiang saw a little girl wearing red shoes and a white dress, standing on the grass, looking up at the direction of the setting sun.

Does she have no friends? Or is she enjoying the sunset?

"The sunset is beautiful, but... it's just a sunset. After the beautiful sunset, there is no sun."

Just like in a monster movie, it's about to disappear.

Li Xiang started talking to himself, but to his surprise, the little girl not far away actually spoke up.

"But the sun has set, but there are still stars. Do you see them? Those beautiful stars in the sky."
