No.209 Maka Daiko
It's a special place.
There are all kinds of plants here, there are varieties that have been seen mostly on Earth, and some that Ye Yifan has never seen before, perhaps a unique species cultivated by the ancient predecessors on Mars.
Walking in the meantime, the space is wide and quiet, and you can smell the unique fragrance of plants. The warm sunlight spilled down through the dense foliage, turning it into a golden spot.
It's May, and it's the season for flowers to bloom. Ye Yifan could see the purple and red flowers hanging high on the branches, and the light spots shining on the flowers, showing vigorous vitality and continuous shade.
Walking on the vine-covered land, on one side are the vibrant branches and leaves under the sun, and under the feet are the grass sleeping soundly in the cool shade, when passing through the flowers, the bright flowers sway with the wind passing by, exuding a charming fragrance, which makes Ye Yifan feel good.
The first time I saw such a large ecological park, it was when I went to Mu Yanxue's house to help. Their family's garden is well cultivated, but this ecological garden, which is run by the ancient predecessors, is even better. From the growth of those plants, Ye Yifan could see that the ancient predecessors were a very gentle person, because only such a person could take care of such beautiful flowers.
Burdened with heavy responsibilities beyond ordinary people, living in seclusion after completing his mission and living an idyllic life is also a good destination for the ancient predecessors. Ye Yifan was thinking that if peace really came, he might be like the Great Gu predecessors, and it would be a good choice.
Gradually, into the depths of the ecological park, there are more and more plants of all kinds, and they are full of greenery. You can see a large number of students under the vegetation, squirming and squirming, presumably they are the students who came to visit and study in Shimmer City.
After seeing such beautiful plants, the faces of those students also showed smiles comparable to those of flowers, and they could no longer see the haze left behind after the disaster.
Although he didn't want to disturb them, this was also the only way to see the predecessors of Da Gu, and Ye Yifan also walked in very carefully. Even if it didn't want to be alarmed, it was too conspicuous in its Neo-GUTS uniform and bandaged, and the indescribable aura of the primeval brought a hint of darkness to the ecological garden, and all the students' eyes turned to it.
Among them, Ye Yifan saw some familiar faces, all of whom were classmates of Shimmer University of Science and Technology, and some horticulture students who were in the same class as Mu Yanxue, but fortunately, the bandage wrapped half of his face, and those people did not recognize it.
Although he is a member of the Neo-GUTS team and an idol in the minds of college students, the indescribable aura on his body is too heavy, and those students all rush to the flowers as if to avoid a disaster, and they seem to have a great disgust for Ye Yifan.
But there was still a purple-haired girl left behind, and she looked at Ye Yifan with an incredibly surprised look.
"Xiao Fan? How did you end up here? The girl stepped forward and asked, it was Ye Yifan's childhood sweetheart, Mu Yanxue who had left Shimmer City.
Seeing Mu Yanxue, Ye Yifan was both excited and sad. I was excited because Mu Yanxue did not go to Yaodu City, but stayed on Mars to visit and study in the ecological park; It's sad because I'm like this now, and I really don't know how to face this girl......
"It's a Neo-GUTS mission, and I didn't expect to meet you here." Ye Yifan avoided Mu Yanxue's gaze and said unnaturally.
And Mu Yanxue listened to Ye Yifan's voice was very muddy, even a little scary, but she didn't stay away from Ye Yifan because of this, but asked with concern: "What's your voice?" And the bandages on your body...... Are you hurt again? ”
Ever since she knew that Ye Yifan was a member of the Neo-GUTS team, Mu Yanxue had been worried. The last time she saw Ye Yifan, she saw that his arm was injured, but she didn't expect that after a week, his arm was not good, but spread to his whole body.
"Yes, I was injured on a mission, and my throat was ...... But there's nothing to worry about, you know that TPC's medical technology is very good, and these injuries will be healed in a short time. Ye Yifan tried his best to use a normal tone to reassure Mu Yanxue, but its voice was still muddy, like metal cutting through glass.
Mu Yanxue also believed its words and breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "That's good." I'll be back in Shimmer in a few days! This study has given me a lot of insight, and I want to make Shimmer City full of flowers like this ecological park. ”
The smile is still very sunny, Ye Yifan's heart has also been healed, and it also remembers the agreement when he left, so that Shimmer City can return to its former prosperity, and flowers can bloom in every corner of the city.
She is working hard for her dreams, and since she can't give up, Ye Yifan nodded heavily and said, "Well, I'm waiting for that day." ”
After saying that, Ye Yifan remembered the purpose of this, it looked around, and then asked Mu Yanxue, "By the way, do you know where the Great Gu predecessors are?" This time, I came to visit it. ”
"You mean Mr. Yen? He is really a very ~ excellent, and very gentle person! Not only can he take good care of such a large ecological park, but no matter how small the problem, he can keep a smile and patiently explain it to us. Speaking of the Great Gu Seniors, Mu Yanxue's eyes seemed to glow.
Da Gu's predecessor was an excellent biologist after retiring from the front line, so it is not surprising that Mu Yanxue, who dreams of being a gardener, regards him as an idol, but Ye Yifan heard Mu Yanxue call Da Gu's predecessor Teacher Yuan, thinking that it should be a fake surname made by the Zhenjiao family to the outside world.
After all, the identity is confidential, and it is impossible to reveal the real name to the outside world, otherwise the identity of the old GUTS team member will be easily found out, and if it is a secret, it will not be a secret, and the identity of Ultraman Tiga will also be exposed. But the surname 円 is not a secret, because in Japanese, the pronunciation of 円 and real horn is very like, and it is pronounced "Madoka".
Seeing Ye Yifan's thoughtful expression, Mu Yanxue knew that she was a little far away, and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I said a little too much." Mr. Yan will teach you in the Martian plant cultivation area, and I'll take you there. ”
Thinking of the topic of Ultraman Tiga at the meeting, Ye Yifan hurriedly shook his head and said, "No need, you can continue to study here, I'll just go by myself." ”
Having said that, Mu Yanxue couldn't continue to insist on walking, she pointed in the direction of Ye Yifan and continued to observe the strange varieties in the ecological park, while Ye Yifan followed the direction she pointed to the Martian plant cultivation area, saw more peculiar plant varieties, and also saw the legendary man......
Dressed in a white coat for scientific research, he stood under a big tree with a sunny smile and gently explained to the students beside him. He didn't notice Ye Yifan, but when Ye Yifan saw him, a thought suddenly came out of his mind:
It's beautiful......
Even though his hair is a little gray, the fifty-year-old Dagu's face is still very energetic and gentle, which may come from Ultraman Tiga's genes, but it seems to have something to do with his gentle personality. Even though Ye Yifan had only seen half of the side face, it had never seen the faces of other human beings as beautiful and clear as the Great Ancient Predecessors.
Is this the former Ultraman Tiga, and now the ancient predecessors who live in seclusion as ordinary people?
Ye Yifan was amazed, even though he had seen this man's face countless times on the file, he was not excited when he saw this man with his own eyes, and somehow wanted to stand in place, quietly watching him, and not interfering with everything about him.
It saw the joyful smiles of the students who studied with the Daigu seniors, and they must have been infected by the gentleness of the Daigu seniors, and they liked this approachable teacher very much.
I don't know how long I watched it, Da Gu noticed Ye Yifan standing on the side, and after Ye Yifan saw Da Gu's predecessor's gaze looking at him, it hurriedly bowed respectfully to him.
After seeing Ye Yifan, Da Gu clapped his hands and smiled at the students beside him: "Okay, let's go and practice, and if you have any questions, come back and ask me." ”
"Okay, Mr. Yen!"
The students also bowed very respectfully to the real horn Dagu, and then gradually ran around the ecological park to try to use the methods of the Great Ancient Religion to care for the plants. Da Gu walked towards Ye Yifan with a notebook, waved his hand with a smile and said:
"Here you are, Inheritor of the Light."
The voice is really gentle, like the early morning sun shining on the earth. But Ye Yifan was surprised when he heard that the predecessors of Dagu took advantage of him as the "inheritor of light": "How do you know ......?"
"I sensed it on the day of the cataclysm, and then I heard the Captain say that Ultraman Tiga had reappeared on Earth. In the months that followed, I received a request from the Captain of the Intermediary that the Neo-GUTS team wanted to see me, and I thought it must be the successor of the Light, which is you. ”
Da Gu smiled, his voice had a unique attraction, which was in stark contrast to Ye Yifan's muddy voice. And Ye Yifan didn't expect that he would be exposed a long time ago, and he scratched his head a little shyly.
Although the predecessors of the Great Ancient were very approachable, in the face of Ultraman Tiga, who had saved the earth, Ye Yifan, who was also the successor of the Ancient One, was still a little uncomfortable. Although I have a lot to say, I don't know where to start, so I can only say, "That..... Thank you Dagu seniors for passing my permission to meet, it's great to see you. ”
"There's nothing to be thankful for, we're here to protect humanity once again."
The eyes of Da Gu, who are still steady-hearted and always full of love, quietly looked at Ye Yifan and said: "In fact, everyone has their own future that should be opened. What do you want to do, and why do you have to be responsible? You have to find the answer yourself, do what you can do, and do it yourself. ”
"Team member Ye, if you can come here, it means that you have found the answer and you are doing a good job."
Da Gu's gentle eyes were full of relief, and Ye Yifan felt that the reason why he had delayed seeing him for a long time was that he hoped that he could find the meaning of the battle and answer the doubts in his heart.
Ever since he knew that the predecessor of Dagu was Ultraman Tiga, Ye Yifan had always had a wish in his heart. If you see a man named Makaku one day, you want to ask him.
Now it has been realized, but there is no question to ask, because I have found the answer - to protect the people around me, and to protect the human beings who will not give up in the face of the noble calamity, is what you should do as the inheritor of the Light.
In the process of rescuing others, he can also be saved, Ye Yifan has already felt this, so it can transform the dark chaos of Naiyarathotep into light.
And the Great Ancient predecessor was the same as himself, carrying the same fate, but it never confided in anyone, and kept fighting until he found the answer to the battle, and then ...... The battle ended.
Ye Yifan's flustered heart was calmed the moment he saw Da Gu, and he had a sense of stability, loftiness, and holiness in him, just like the feeling that Ultraman Tiga brought to people. The predecessor of Dagu is Ultraman Tiga, but he is also an ordinary person.
"I've found the answer, so I'm going to fight for it." Ye Yifan said firmly. What can be done as a human being can only be decided by oneself.
Da Gu nodded with satisfaction, he also felt that Ye Yifan was a very good young man. Maybe I was scared, confused, and couldn't tell who I was before, but I finally found the answer to existence.
"Mr. Yan, this flower is really beautiful, can I bring some seeds back?" One of the students poked his head out of the pile of flowers and said.
Da Gu smiled and replied, "Of course you can!" You've got to make it bloom better than I can grow! ”
After speaking, Ye Yifan looked at the various flowers blooming in front of him, and said with some admiration: "I also grow flowers when I am young, and she happens to be studying here today, but I didn't expect that the ancient predecessors could actually cultivate so many flowers on Mars." ”
"Before, most of them were species on Earth, but now almost all of them are seeds born on Mars." Speaking of flowers, Dagu's expression also became excited, and he said as he depicted his lofty ideals. "I hope that one day, these flowers will bloom all over Mars and bring life to this planet that is still under development."
Dagu, who was engrossed in telling the story of his big dreams, became clearer: "In fact, just like what we do, everyone has their own future to protect. ”
As he spoke, Dagu looked at the students playing among the flowers and said, "Just like those children, one day everyone will be able to live happily and laughing." ”
These words made Ye Yifan feel the greatness of the Great Ancient Predecessors again. Even though he can't continue to fight as Ultraman Tiga, the Great Ancient Elder is still fighting for the happiness of mankind in his own way - as an ordinary person.
For such a great ancient predecessor, Ye Yifan deeply felt its nobility, just like a god......
