TEXT CHAPTER EIGHTY-ONE: SSSS.GRIDMAN TEN
"This, I'm ......" was slapped by Nobita like this, Utsumi only felt as if his shoulder was caught by the claws of some fierce beast, and the slightest movement would be torn to pieces, and his face immediately turned pale, and he stammered, "I'm not Gurlit, you should know ......"
"I know." Nobita said succinctly, "That's what I'm looking for." ”
He turned around and pulled Utsumi out of his seat, almost semi-forcedly, and smiled at Yuta and Rokuka, "If you don't mind, your companion will lend me for the time being, I have something to discuss with him...... Don't worry, it's definitely not a bad thing, and I'll guarantee his personal safety. I promised you yesterday, didn't I? ”
“…… You remember yesterday. Yuta lowered his voice and said, "So far, only me, Utsumi, and Rokuka have been able to avoid the influence of 'clear memory'. ”
His gaze moved back and forth between Utsumi and Nobita a few times, and finally relented, "I believe you, Nobita, please don't hurt him." ”
"Don't worry."
After assuring him, Nobita took the inland sea and walked in the direction of the rooftop, and asked him to bring his lunch box before leaving.

In tokusatsu works or hero movies, there is usually such a character...... He appears as the protagonist's friend, and when the protagonist transforms into a hero, he is responsible for sitting in front of one or several computers, responsible for providing the protagonist with backup information in real time, analyzing the battlefield situation for him, and giving advice. Such combinations are so common that we have a special name for this type of character - "the man (woman) behind the hero". For example, Alfred the butler in Batman, Jarvis the intelligent butler in Iron Man, and Frysis in Arrow...... It's something like that. However, in Japanese-style special films, there is often not much portrayal of such characters, so that they are completely reduced to pathetic "tool men". That is, it will only appear when the protagonist needs it, provide some necessary information, and then there will be few scenes in daily life...... Suffice it to say, they are working silently behind their backs, but no one will know, and no one will give them a word of praise, not even a "good job".
Because all the praise was given to that dazzling hero.
Inland Sea is such a tool man.
In this game between monsters and supermen, he can't really help anywhere...... But because he was Yuta's friend, at the critical moment, he still chose Yuta's side and used the "special effects knowledge" in his mind to help him analyze the battle situation. He is also quite self-aware, and he claims to be a small person, and naturally he has never had the luxury of taking on a heavy responsibility and saving the world like Yuta.
So, his panic at this moment is not a little bit......
"Why didn't he go to Yuta, but to me?" This question filled his mind and lingered for a long time.
————
The wind on the rooftop made people a little dizzy.
Nobita looked at the monster in the distance, narrowed his eyes slightly, and sighed, "As he said, the city has been restored, and the roads and buildings that were destroyed yesterday are as if they hadn't ......happened."
He didn't feel it himself, but in fact, Nobita's external aura had become more and more terrifying. Especially when he looks silently in one direction like this, the composure and sophistication that is comparable to that of a battle-hardened veteran will make people feel a sense of awe. Utsumi, who prides himself on being a little person, was so frightened that he trembled on the spot, holding the lunch box at a loss, and always felt that Nobita would tear himself alive in the next second...... Maybe it's no wonder that he knows, after all, he knows that there is a humanoid monster standing next to him, and anyone can react like this.
“…… Ah, you just eat. Nobita looked at him trembling and couldn't help but smile kindly, "Don't wait for me, it's okay if I don't eat." ”
"Hmm...... Thank you. ”
Utsumi muttered, sat down on the spot, and began to pick up the food in the lunch box. However, his hand pinching the chopsticks still couldn't stop shaking, and several times things fell to the ground, and he didn't dare to pick them up.
……
Nobita looked at him silently with his peripheral eyes.
Inland Sea General. If you want to count the age, he and Nobita should be the same age, with green hair, green eyes, slightly taller than Nobita, and a pair of wide-rimmed glasses. As it stands, he is cautious and timid, not showing superpowers in any sense...... With a moral value of 7, he belongs to the kind of ordinary character who has no sense of justice, but is not degenerate, and in every sense, he can only be a tool man.
But Nobita just took a fancy to one thing: he was very smart.
Because Nobita himself is a stupid person, he is extremely sensitive to all the characteristics of smart people, and Utsumi ...... Undoubtedly, he is a smart person who meets his cognitive conditions.
"Utsumi-san, what I'm going to say next will greatly affect the fate of this world, please listen carefully."
"Hmm......" He was eating, and when he heard such a domineering sentence, he was so frightened that he choked the green pepper into his trachea, his face was red, and he coughed nonstop. Nobita had to interrupt the opening remarks and stepped forward to help him pat him on the back fiercely, and it took him nearly a minute to swallow the green pepper and choke his tongue out like a puppy. Seeing that he was so miserable, Nobita shook his head, took out a bottle of mineral water from his pocket and handed it over.
"Goo-go......o-go
"Forget it, you can listen while you drink."
Next, Nobita spent nearly fifteen minutes condensing everything that happened last night into the most concise language. At the same time, Yu Feiyan silently turned on the Yuan Guang Body Mind Computer, and greatly adjusted the activity of the Uchihai Brain, making his thinking more focused and concentrated during this period of time, so as to ensure that he could listen to the information that Nobita said word for word and fully understand it.
However, understanding is understanding, and accepting or not is a completely different matter.
……
"I'm done." Nobita waved his hand and said, "Do you have any questions to ask." ”
“…… Well, this, how to say it, you said too much at once, I can't think of it......" Inland Sea was bombarded with a large amount of information, obviously already a little anxious, and kept pushing his glasses, "First of all, I'm sorry to say that, but I can't believe you at all!" I hope you understand......"
"I understand." Nobita slickly interrupted his apology, "But I'm not a monster. You guys think about it this way, I'm a human who got the power of monsters by luck, and my position, starting point, and thinking mode are all starting from a human being, so I will take the initiative to share this information with you. ”
“…… You say Akane Shinjo is the main messenger behind the scenes? Is she God? The world we live in is actually the size of this city? ”
"That's right."
"It can't be!" Utsumi shouted with some excitement, "I also have an uncle who lives in Sapporo!" We all visited their homes when we were kids! If it's really the size of a city, how ...... are these memories?"
"Inland Sea! Memories can be faked, and it's not very difficult to do it, even I can do it. (The item [Memory Disk] can add or delete the target's memories at will)" Nobita patiently explained, "If you think about it, if she were a god, it would be easier to control the memories of mortals...... Actually, you don't have any Sapporo uncles at all, because there is nothing outside the city, not even Sapporo. Your so-called 'memories' may have been added to you when you created the city. The best proof of this is that yesterday I had a fight with a monster, and as a result, no one except the three of you remembered it today, which is enough to show that Akane Shinjo has the ability to erase memories. ”
"It's similar to the brain-in-a-vat theory, and this time, sadly...... You're the brain trapped in the vat. ”
Utsumi's mind spun quickly, and it didn't take long for him to react.
Then there was a shattered expression.
……
It was a long time before he raised his head and muttered in a small voice, "Why did you come to me...... What the hell do you want me to do? ”
"I should have said it before, but since you asked, I'll say it again." Nobita slapped him on the shoulder and gave him a smile like a forced Liangshan, "Alexis...... It's the villain I told you about who chose Akane Shinjo; Gullitt Superman has chosen your friend Yuta Hibiki. If nothing else, the two are almost evenly matched, and at least they can compete with each other for a while before the final victory of good over evil can be staged. Until then, the war between the monster and Superman will continue, and both are too powerful to fight and innocent people may die every day......"
"Therefore, I want you to step in as a third party, to stand with Superman Gurlitt and break the balance of power. In this case, the monster side will be very passive, and the war will be over sooner. ”
This statement caused the emerald green pupils of the Uchihai to shrink suddenly, flashing with a bit of heartfelt joy and excitement. But soon, the spark of excitement extinguished itself, and he sighed self-deprecatingly and laughed, "No...... Nobita, I can't. Thank you so much for telling me all of this, but I'm just a ...... Ordinary people don't have any skills. The Alexis that Gurlitt and you told you didn't pick me, which is telling...... I may not be what you expected, you've got the wrong person. ”
Nobita listened to him silently, took out a steel bracer from his pocket and handed it to Utsumi.
"It doesn't matter to me whether you're an ordinary person or not." "The important thing is...... Do you have the righteousness that desires to save others? Do you have the courage and faith to fight the monster to the end? For me, these things are more important than that. As for the power...... Akane Shinjo and Hibiki Yuta were also mortals at first, and their powers were 'given' by other beings. ”
"In the same way, I can give you ...... The power of the Guardians. ”
————
Utsumi looked at him in amazement, his hand unconsciously reaching out, and taking the bracer from Nobita's palm.
In the weak sunlight, the bracers lay quietly in his palms, exuding a heavy glow unique to black iron. The Utsumi couldn't really tell what kind of metal it was, but it was certain that the bracers themselves were heavy, with a black base and several coats of arms in pure white. On the front of the wristband, a realistic pattern of a dragon head is outlined with a bright emerald green, which is not very open, but the word domineering is vividly displayed.
He visually measured the size of the bracers, which seemed to fit just right on his hands.
……
"Wear it before you make a final decision." Nobita smiled mysteriously at him, "I gave it to you." ”
