The Gaelic people of the Ultraman Tiga world

Every autumn, the local government sends personnel to this suicide forest to collect the remains of those who have committed suicide.

Unfortunately, due to the large number of suicides and the influence of certain supernatural factors, no one has yet figured out exactly how many people died in Lion's Nose Forest.

The only thing that's certain is that this forest is indeed eerie.

At the very least, Daigo, who is now deeply immersed in it, has truly experienced the eeriness of the Lion's Nose Tree Sea.

It's not as simple as navigation devices losing their navigation ability due to magnetic field disturbances.

Daigo drove the Sherlock along the way and realized that he was clearly on an endless loop.

"Tomoko, are you there?"

Decisively abandoning the idea of ​​continuing to walk on his own, Daigo skillfully called out Tomoko's name.

What shocked him even more was that he didn't receive a response from Zhizi this time, something that had never happened before.

On the other hand, Lu Xuan, who was standing to the side, glanced at Da Gu indifferently, as if he had expected it all along.

"I already said this is a place of chaotic spacetime, which in a sense is no longer within the scope of Earth."

"Even if Zhizi really heard our voices, who knows which parallel universe we would end up in once she breaks through this spacetime barrier."

As Lu Xuan spoke, he stepped on the brakes for Daigu without hesitation.

squeak!

With a loud screech of tires, Sherlock's car came to a sudden stop beside the endless road.

"What?"

Instinctively looking at Lu Xuan, Daigo felt a vague sense of foreboding.

"What else can we do? Let's get out of the car and look for clues!"

"Although the Sherlock car has a solar system, driving it like this for a long time will wear out the parts."

"In this desolate place, do you really expect anyone to fix your car for you?"

After a slight pause, Lu Xuan suddenly spoke with a smile.

"Or are you planning to scrap another vehicle?"

Seeing Lu Xuan's intrigued expression, Da Gu opened his mouth as if to say something but then hesitated, before finally getting out of the car obediently.

Daigo's reputation as a "vehicle killer" had long been known throughout TPC.

This was a rare occasion for Lu Xuan to single him out and tease him, and even someone as thick-skinned as Daigo was incredibly embarrassed.

Do you remember how to ride this skateboard?

Getting out of the passenger seat as well, Lu Xuan pulled out a levitation skateboard from somewhere and tossed it to Daigu.

"Of course I remember, but where are we going?"

With a hint of confusion and bewilderment, Daigo leaped onto the skateboard with practiced ease.

As someone with MAX capabilities in all vehicles, even if she hasn't played on the hoverboard for a long time, she can still demonstrate a level of proficiency no less than Lu Xuan's after a little familiarization.

"Of course, we should leave this endless loop..."

With a light leap, Lu Xuan jumped onto the skateboard and charged forward without hesitation.

"Hey! Wait for me!"

He hurriedly followed, and now it was Daigo's turn to start complaining.

"You're doing it again! When are you going to get rid of this habit of stopping halfway through your sentences?!"

A slight smile appeared on Lu Xuan's lips. Instead of answering Daigu's question directly, he asked a question in return.

"Tell me, how long has it been since we've been this carefree?"

When Lu Xuan asked this question, Daigu was taken aback at first, and then he laughed.

"Thinking about it carefully, it does seem like it's been a while."

"It seems like it's been a long time since the two of us went on an adventure alone... since I joined the GUTS team?"

Daigo still remembers the adventures he and Lu Xuan went through, and he still remembers how Lu Xuan tricked him time and time again.

Looking back now, the closest of those experiences was several years ago.

"Wait, don't change the subject!"

"Tell me first, what clues did you find? Explain it clearly!"

Thinking about his past experiences, Daigo immediately became wary and began to question Lu Xuan about what he had discovered.

Because whenever Lu Xuan refused to explain the situation, the end result was often that Lu Xuan would become the one who got tricked.

Look up at the sky.

Under Daigo's persistent questioning, Lu Xuan finally revealed the crucial clue he had discovered.

"Sky?"

Following Lu Xuan's gaze, Daigo then noticed that a seven-colored rainbow had appeared in the sky at some point.

On this endlessly repeating path, the seven-colored rainbow seems to be the only thing that can serve as a landmark.

only……

"That rainbow seems a bit strange?"

As Daigo voiced his doubts, he could clearly hear Lu Xuan's slightly helpless tone.

"Looks like you've finally discovered it; it's a rare 'reverse rainbow'."

A normal rainbow consists of seven colors: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and violet, arranged from top to bottom.

The so-called "reverse rainbow" is exactly the opposite, with purple, blue, cyan, green, yellow, orange, and red from top to bottom.

"The magnetic field here is chaotic, the surrounding environment is repetitive, and even the rainbow in the sky is upside down."

"All of this points to the eeriness of this place..."

"But it is precisely because the behavior here is so bizarre that the 'reverse rainbow' in the sky has become the only breakthrough."

As Lu Xuan and Da Gu got closer to the "Inverted Rainbow," the previously unchanging environment around them miraculously changed.

Mountain trails are disappearing, forests are degrading, and trees are becoming scarce...

"This is the real Lion's Nose Tree Forest!"

When Lu Xuan, who was at the front, stopped walking, Da Gu was surprised to realize that the two of them had actually left the seemingly endless mountain path.

However, the situation here is not much better than that on the mountain path.

Visible corpses were found in every corner of the mountains and forests, and abandoned vehicles were filled with people who had come to commit suicide.

Lu Xuan and Da Gu seemed to have entered a suicide forest in an instant.

Or to be more precise, Daigo and Lu Xuan were already in a suicide forest.

The fact that they hadn't seen any human figures along the way indicated that they hadn't truly entered the Lion's Nose Tree Sea.

"This forest rejects fake suicides..."

With a light jump on his skateboard, Lu Xuan gazed at the corpses left behind by the suicide victims, a hint of caution flashing in his eyes.

"This place only welcomes those who have truly lost faith in life and have no attachment to the world, even if they have committed suicide."

“We two should be considered ‘outcasts’ who forced our way in here, which is why we’ve been lingering on the outskirts of the Lion’s Nose Tree Sea.”

"Only by following the 'reverse rainbow' in the sky can ordinary people like you and me truly enter this magical realm."

Chapter 423 Barrier Monster - Gadi

"This is the 'Rainbow Wonderland'!"

When Lu Xuan said those words, some blurry images flashed through his mind.

In Lu Xuan's not-so-clear memories of Ultraman Tiga, "Rainbow Realm" should be a place that appeared in the TV series.

Only in this way would Lu Xuan feel so familiar.

Unfortunately, aside from this familiarity, Lu Xuan couldn't remember what exactly happened here or what kind of monsters were present.

The only certainty is that the monster that appeared here must be very special, otherwise it wouldn't have left such a deep impression on me.

"Rainbow Wonderland?"

Although he didn't know how Lu Xuan knew the name of the place, Daigo knew that this place was much more dangerous than he had imagined.

Needless to say, the corpses of those suicide victims lying haphazardly were also a concern.

When Daigo tried to escape the suicidal zone, he unexpectedly discovered some kind of invisible barrier.

"There's a barrier here..."

Clinging tightly to the invisible barrier, Daigo discovered that the barrier's sturdiness was simply unbelievable.

Even the strongest bulletproof glass inside the Victory Team's headquarters couldn't possibly support such a large-scale, invisible barrier.

With just a quick visual estimate, Daigo noticed that the area covered by this barrier was at least in the kilometers.

In other words, the two of them had just left the endlessly looping path when they were trapped inside a huge barrier covering several kilometers.

"Why does this barrier look so familiar?"

Puzzled, Daigo scratched his head and tentatively used his psychic powers to explore, only to discover that the invisible barrier was not a physical entity, but rather a manifestation of some kind of force field.

The manifestation of this enormous energy field is more of a superpower than a technology.

"Of course you look familiar, because your team, the Victory Team, has encountered this kind of force field before."

After Lu Xuan's reminder, Daigu suddenly realized.

"Biofield?"

"This is Gadi's biofield!?"

The barrier monster Gadi is a cosmic monster that flew to Earth in ancient times and has been lurking underground ever since.

This monster possesses a unique ability and hunting preferences.

That is to generate a special bio-force field within one's own territory, trapping any creatures that accidentally wander into it.

When the GUTS team first discovered this monster, it was because the Gadget had entered its breeding season and was capturing children at the amusement park, hoping to use their hormones to hatch its own offspring.

As expected, the Gadget was easily defeated by Daigo in his guise as Ultraman Tiga, and the Gadget eggs were collected and disposed of by the GUTS team.

"Monsters on Earth generally do not evolve biofields."

"Usually only those creatures from outer space evolve biofields that can resist various types of radiation."

"And among these, Gadi's bio-force field has a strong 'observation' attribute, which is quite in line with the characteristics of their race."

After the Victory Team recovered those Gadi eggs, the Galvin Group, as a cooperating organization, naturally also studied those eggs.

According to Lu Xuan's research, he discovered that the monster Gadi may have been observed and experimented on as a guinea pig by some advanced civilization at the beginning of its evolution.

Therefore, when Gadi evolved into a monster, it imitated the characteristics of this advanced civilization and evolved attributes similar to "Observer".

They observe their "food" within a transparent barrier.

While satisfying their hunting behavior, they also satisfy that voyeuristic desire deep within their genes.

Lu Xuan had no doubt that once the Gadi evolved true intelligence and civilization, their habits would bring them both tremendous opportunities and troubles.

The opportunity lies in the fact that true wisdom and civilization stem from a thirst for knowledge and curiosity.

Especially for powerful monsters like Gadi, their curiosity and observation of other creatures will greatly promote the possibility of them developing technology and civilization.

The problem is that Gadi ventured into the universe before it evolved intelligence and civilization.

Compared to the entire universe, the Gadi are far too weak. Their casual observation and spying on other races and civilizations often bring about their annihilation.

For example, right now...

boom!

Lu Xuan pulled out a laser gun and fired a shot at the invisible barrier.
