Most of these members are themselves abnormal, and most of them claim to come from other worlds.
Lu Mofei stood out among these anomalies and thus became the main person in charge of DSM.
However, some things happened later that caused his abilities to disappear.
Director Eiji Tsuburaya is one of the exceptions.
After the Deep Space Exploration Team was established, it made several attempts to interfere with Eiji Tsuburaya, but almost every attempt ended in failure.
Finally, after determining that director Eiji Tsuburaya was an anomaly, but not a dangerous one, they simply monitored him as necessary and did not interfere further.
"Next, we still need to find Mr. Tsuburaya, at least to confirm the safety of this anomaly."
With that in mind, Lü Mofei continued writing, but this time he was writing some outlines for future plans.
Finally, he drew a circle over the words "pen bug".
"The number of anomalies has decreased significantly during this period... You too today?"
"Ah—it's a monster."
"Run! A monster is coming!"
Several people, their faces stiff with panic, were running away, flailing their arms and legs.
"——Click!"
"That's enough for now. Filming is over. Let's all go have lunch and take a break."
The director waved to the actors, then scratched his head and took the script to go get lunch.
This is Tsuburaya Productions, the location used for filming special effects movies.
We were just filming "Super Battle! Monster 8 Brothers!"
Just as the director was holding the script and about to leave to rest, director Eiji Tsuburaya suddenly appeared at the door.
"Hey, Mr. Tsuburaya, what brings you here?"
"Oh, I've come to see how the filming is going. Although I'm no longer a director, I still have a passion for this job."
"Ah, Mr. Tsuburaya, you are really full of enthusiasm, even more so than us young people!"
“The people there are old and useless; their future depends on you.”
"Let's not talk about this anymore, let's go get some food together... And this brother?" The director noticed Li Xiang following behind Tsuburaya.
"Oh, that's a sound, my friend."
"Oh! I see. Let's go have lunch together!" The director enthusiastically led Mr. Tsuburaya and Li Xiang to lunch.
During lunch, Tsuburaya also explained why he brought Li Xiang here—for work.
That's right, Li Xiang hopes to find a job.
Because he is most likely an alien, living alone on another planet, he cannot simply stay in Mr. Tsuburaya's house for free.
At least in his value system, he believes he should find something to do, such as labor.
So, Mr. Tsuburaya decided to take Li Xiang to work at Tsuburaya Productions.
Although I am retired, it should be no problem for me to find a job for a young person.
So the director immediately agreed.
"No work experience is no problem. You were recommended by Mr. Tsuburaya Productions, so I definitely trust you. Just start with some simple tasks!"
The director encouraged Li Xiang.
"Thank you, director! I will definitely work hard!"
"No, it's not just about working hard." But the director immediately reminded her, "We're making a special effects movie, so we also need a passionate heart!"
A passionate heart?
"That's right, don't underestimate special effects movies. It's precisely because Mr. Tsuburaya has such a passionate heart that he has been able to make Tsuburaya Productions so successful!"
"That's it, I understand!"
Li Xiang remembered the warmth in that heart.
Chapter 197 Yusuke Godai
After lunch, Tsuburaya noticed the director looking dejected and asked him what was wrong.
"What's wrong with you? You look very unhappy."
The director took a sip of sake and began to confide in the director about his troubles.
"Sigh, it's all because of the filming... We all seem to have lost our inspiration. We were just telling Hibiki that we need passion to do this job, but actually, we guys are almost completely worn down."
"The filming just now was poorly done; the plot was pieced together haphazardly, the actors weren't really engaged, and even the set was just put together randomly. It seems like no one has any confidence in this tokusatsu movie."
"Because there are anomalies everywhere now, and they are endangering humanity, yet we continue to make monster movies... Nobody likes it anymore. After all, anomalies and monsters exist in reality, so who would like fake monsters?"
After saying that, the director downed the sake in one gulp.
Tsuburaya continued to comfort and encourage the director, saying that it was inevitable to feel lost, and that he had also felt lost when he was young.
Li Xiang, on the other hand, subconsciously, perhaps because of his forgotten profession, immediately grasped the key point.
An anomaly that is endangering humanity!
This thing, at first glance, sounds like something dangerous.
And... wait, something's not right!
"Aren't I abnormal myself?"
Li Xiang suddenly realized this.
I'm probably an alien or someone from another world, so I guess I'm an anomaly.
Adding to the news I saw this morning about the Blood Cross virus that appeared in Australia, it seems to be some kind of anomaly. Although it has been eliminated by the DSM, and it even fell to Earth like a meteor, the morning news also reminded citizens that there was no danger...
So, I really am abnormal!
Of course, if this is something the public already knows, then you can just search for information online.
So Li Xiang turned on his laptop...
"Aaaaaah, the monster is coming!"
"Run!"
"Everyone, run this way! Don't panic!"
A group of people, their expressions slightly stiff, shouted and then began to run in the opposite direction from where the monster had come from.
A brave defense soldier is helping ordinary people who are being attacked by monsters.
"——Click!"
"Very good, that's all for today. Thank you everyone for your hard work!"
The day's filming came to an end, and the director and other staff began packing up the filming equipment to prepare for tomorrow's shoot.
"Hibiki, what are you doing here? You're just a supporting character, you don't need to help carry things."
When the director saw that Li Xiang had spontaneously come to help tidy up the props after filming, he immediately reminded him.
Li Xiang joined the crew. The director saw that Li Xiang was a young man with a lot of energy and spirit, so he let him try acting. In the end, he played a soldier in the Earth Defense Force fighting against monsters.
"Director, let me help. I'm very strong! And with more help, the work can be finished sooner."
"...Alright then, thank you, Hibiki!"
So, together with everyone, Xiang quickly set up the filming props.
"Xiang, thank you so much. Young people are really amazing. I usually can't even lift a camera by myself," an older cameraman said, patting Li Xiang on the shoulder.
"Xiang, your acting was really good just now. I almost thought you were a real soldier of the defense force." A young woman, who was in charge of the lighting on set, praised Li Xiang because of his enthusiastic performance.
"Xiang, that's great! Come on, come on! You were in such a good mood this afternoon, let's go get some barbecue, it's on me!" The director was also excited, and with a wave of his hand, he was about to treat everyone.
This afternoon, we only wanted Li Xiang to try acting, but we didn't expect him to be so dedicated. Because of Li Xiang's dedication and enthusiasm, the other people were more or less affected, so the afternoon's filming went exceptionally smoothly.
"No need, Director, I have to go back now. Let's get together again next time!"
But Li Xiang still declined.
Since Mr. Tsuburaya went back first, I also plan to go back first and talk to Mr. Tsuburaya about my experience today.
Everyone in the crew was very kind and took extra care of him.
This was a very valuable experience.
Bathed in the setting sun, Li Xiang, this outsider, this unusual person, walked with cheerful steps toward his residence.
As he was about to arrive at his accommodation, he encountered a young man riding a motorcycle.
The young man was holding a map and seemed to be lost.
So, the enthusiastic Li Xiang immediately stepped forward.
Hello, are you lost?
When the young man saw Li Xiang approaching, he immediately greeted him with excitement and gratitude.
"Hello! I'm really lost. Could you please help me find my way around here?"
Let me take a look!
So Li Xiang leaned closer and looked at the map...
The young man stared blankly at Li Xiang, not understanding what was going on for a moment.
"Well, actually I just arrived here too, and I don't know the way very well...hehe." Li Xiang scratched his head awkwardly.
He was new here too and didn't know the way at all.
"Haha, you're really funny, but thank you anyway!"
The young man reached out his hand to Li Xiang.
The two then shook hands amicably.
