There was a knock on the door, and Casto looked out with a frown, "It's weird, obviously, Shikari didn't lock the door when he left, right?" ”

In Casto's sight, a figure slowly walked into the room, it was a man in a black and white shirt, his hair was held up to his shoulders, his face was smiling, and in his hand was a large bag of snacks from nowhere.

The bag containing the zero was thrown onto Casto's table, and inside was a few cokes, huge lollipops, and popcorn with a golden shell, and the white of the popcorn was faintly visible under the light of the lamp on the table.

Castor was indeed hungry, and he took out a coke, which has been around for more than half a century, and will continue to be passed down in human civilization for the foreseeable future, becoming part of the common memory of mankind.

"You came here as soon as Hikari left, Torrecchia, you really surprised me." Casto opened the Coke, and with a 'bang', the gas of the carbonated drink poured out of the can, "However, he has become the appearance of the mountains, not as edgy as you, Torrecchia." ”

"On Earth, I still hope that Mr. Castor can call me Kirisaki, this is the appearance that I have managed to pinch, if you don't like it, I will be very disappointed~~"

Torrecchia bent slightly towards Casto, but instead of sitting directly across from Casto, he walked to the side of the record player and flipped through the film that Casto had, "It's so new, it's too new, it's so good, but why don't you collect some music with more texture."

"There seems to be a symphony of fate at the bottom, but when I put it on the big night, I think it doesn't match my state of mind."

"Found it." Torrecchia pulled out a seemingly unopened collector's piece from the back of the film, "Symphony No. 3 in E flat major."

"Do you like Beethoven? But it's normal, he's also a genius, although I still think fate seems to be more suitable for you. Of course, it is also more suitable for Shikari. ”

"Director Hikari," Torrecchia sat across from Casto, scratching his head, and then looked at Castor helplessly, and said in a somewhat fluttering voice, "Director Hikari is so upright that he spends all his time on things that seem important, and he doesn't even build a human image of his own."

"He didn't even think there was anything wrong with this, he felt that by staying in the mountain, he could not only be familiar with human life, but also guide the mountain not to make mistakes, but this kind of thinking was too old-fashioned, and Director Hikari didn't realize that the problems of the earth were not a single person's problem after all."

Torrecchia shrugged helplessly, then picked up the popcorn he brought, tore open the bag, took one out of it and threw it into his mouth and chewed it, the sweet taste of the popcorn filled his mouth, making him unconsciously show a smile.

Torrecchia was very keenly aware of the pleasure brought by sweets, but such happiness came and went quickly, and his face soon collapsed again, and became the kind of look that seemed to be indifferent, but his eyes were full of curiosity.

He stuck out his tongue in front of Castor, gently pinched a popcorn and placed it on his tongue, waiting for the sugar on the surface to follow the reflex zone on his tongue all the way to his brain, and then, the moment his brain reacted, he swallowed the popcorn in his mouth without chewing.

Silently feeling the somewhat hard shell of the popcorn, the sensation of pounding down his throat and esophagus, Torrecchia frowned.

Casto knew what Torrecchia was doing, and he was facing the dilemma that every cosmic person who mimicked an earthling would face, that is, the emotions of an earthling, which would be affected by everything.

The pleasure of the sweet crust of the popcorn was still on his tongue, but the discomfort of swallowing the popcorn had already formed an electrical signal into his brain, and Torrecchia could neither control himself from enjoying the simple and direct pleasure, nor ignoring the discomfort caused by the foreign body.

Torrecchia seems to be deliberately swallowing popcorn to make himself remember the hidden dangers behind simple happiness, but this is too much like performance art and too stupid, so Torrecchia has to take a big sip of Coke to let happiness fill his brain again.

Casto chewed the popcorn one by one, his eyes trying to memorize every movement of Torrecchia as much as he could, and then synchronized it to his other universe self.

Torrecchia looked at Casto, who was looking at him intently, and said helplessly, "Why is it that every Ultraman who comes to Earth only pays attention to such a grand subject as human beings, the world, and peace, but no one can discover the ability of human beings to make people happy." ”

Casto opened the Coke, Torrecchia reached out and touched it with him, and then said in despair, "Everyone is like this, only focusing on those big things, but doesn't that mean that these inconspicuous things have become meaningless?" ”

"When Ace leaves the earth, according to the custom, Taylor will also come to the earth, and he will also experience all that the human world has here, and these inconspicuous things will also make his human life full of happiness, but when he returns to the country of light, he will still become a shining sun, and he will not care about these inconspicuous things that once made him happy or painful."

Torrecchia looked at Casto, then pinched his throat, and then said to Casto in a very sunny and cheerful voice,

"Oh, Torrecchia, do you speak of those good things on earth? Of course I remember, rest assured, we, as warriors of light, will protect the earth from the darkness."

Torrecchia didn't know that he had inadvertently said what Taylor would say to him in the future, but with his intelligence, he had already guessed everything Taylor would say.

Casto watched this scene with interest, but Torrecchia, who was still imitating Taylor, spread his hands helplessly, then looked at Castor, and asked in a somewhat unbelievable tone,

"Crazy! It's all crazy! Everyone in the Ultra clan is crazy! I've been to the Ampera Empire, and I've lived on Earth, both of which have benefited me a lot, and they all have one thing in common, that is, whether it's the Imperial, the Earthling, or the Galactic Federation, they can be happy more easily. ”

Then, Torrecchia took another sip of Coke, looked at Casto helplessly, and said sadly, "Only the people of the Land of Light, the people of the Ultra clan will never be able to obtain some more basic happiness in life from outside the spirit."

"Maybe that's the greatness of the Ultras."

"If peace can never truly come to the universe, does it mean that the Ultra clan will never be able to directly obtain happiness?"

"If the Ultra clan gives up the ideal they have pursued for hundreds of thousands of years, will they really be happy?"

Torrecchia was stunned for a moment, looked at the Coke in his hand, and then at Casto, and suddenly he said with some excitement,

"So, it's the evolved body that makes the Ultra clan have to find a great direction, and the powerful body makes it impossible for us to directly obtain happiness through matter, so we need to motivate ourselves with a greater cause!"

"According to that, it's not that the rest of the Ultra clan has a problem, it's that I have a problem!" Torrecchia seemed to be very pleased with the answer, "So, an idiot like Taylor, who told me that promise to protect me, was actually making this promise a great goal that would make him happy!" ”

Torrecchia drank Coke after cola as if he didn't have a Coke in his hand, but some kind of psychedelic liquor.

Casto was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "Did Taylor tell you?" That sentence, the words that he wants to protect you? ”

"Of course, of course that idiot did." "We've known each other for so many years, and that's what he said to me a long, long time ago, and he showed superhuman talent when I was still studying, and he used to say at that time that he would protect me."

From the very beginning of our basic training, he showed an amazing talent, and he said at that time that he would protect me.

Even the day I failed in my attempt to join the Cosmic Guard, even the day I was eliminated, he didn't comfort me, but told me that he would protect me. ”

Torrecchia trembled, as if he was full of anger at Taylor's words, but when he thought of Casto's previous statement, Torrecchia calmed down again, "You're right Casto, this may be the only thing these guys in the Land of Light can do." ”

"First, the Ultra people are born without food, water, air, or sleep." Casto crossed his fingers and looked at Torrecchia, "Second, since the establishment of the entire Land of Light, there have only been two real attacks on the mainland, one is the Emperor Ampera of the Empire, and the other is the traitor of the Land of Light, the strongest Leonix Laobei.

A world that is inherently stable, safe, and orderly, with no anxiety and fear in the world. ”

"Physiology and safety." Torrecchia nodded, "These two don't exist in the Land of Light by nature. ”

"Then there's love and belonging." Casto snapped his third finger, and as he said this, he subconsciously glanced at Torrecchia, "Aside from you and Lao Bei, I don't know anyone in the Land of Light who has problems with these two things. ”

"Okay, okay." Torrecchia shrugged, "I'm not going to be compared to him by you right now, and if you can see him in me, I don't care. ”

"The fourth is to respect yourself and others, and you and Belial are the only ones in the Land of Light in this regard." Casto felt as if the other party was taking advantage of him, and secretly mocked, "Oh, and then there's the need for knowledge, understanding, curiosity, exploration, your needs."

"I should be very vigorous in this regard." Torrecchia said seriously, "But that's me, and that's why I'm a maverick." ”

"The sixth and seventh are the need for aesthetics and self-realization." Castor recounts the penultimate and third levels of the eighth-order hierarchy of needs, "The Ultra people of the Land of Light's perception of beauty and their pursuit of self-realization have actually transcended matter. ”

"Then only the last one remains." Castor's eighth finger after counting, the middle finger was raised, aimed at Torrecchia, "All that remains of the Otters is the quest for self-worth beyond their own self-worth. ”

"A civilization that has fulfilled its physiological needs, security needs, the needs of belonging and love, the needs of respect, cognitive needs, aesthetic needs, and even the needs of self-realization from birth." Torrecchia looked at Casto with some despair, "They have no choice in life but the pursuit of great ideals. ”

"But isn't that good?" Casto looked at Torrecchia, "At least they're having fun, and if one day, Taylor no longer pursues the peace of the universe, but something else, like beauty or wisdom?" ”

"Taylor goes in pursuit of beauty and wisdom?" Torrecchia seemed to hear the most terrifying thing in the world, and his pupils dilated instantly, "No! Absolutely not! Taylor! That big horned red guy! If he pursues wisdom and beauty!! ”

"I can't imagine a world like this, it's tarnishing these two words!!"

"Damn, my curiosity has forced me to think about what kind of world it is!! Oh my God, if that's the case, then the rest of the Land of Light, and then the whole universe will."

"A world where the people of the Land of Light no longer pursue great ideals?" Torrecchia looked at Casto in horror, "Let Taylor continue to maintain his arrogance and arrogance, at least his arrogance and arrogance are for the ideal of peace"

Torrecchia's hand holding the can of Coke trembled unconsciously, and the Coke continued to spill out of it, landing on his half-black, half-white shirt, the black half began to appear white foam, and the white half was soaked with a little black coke.

Torrecchia grabbed a handful of popcorn and put it in his mouth, chewing it heavily, trying to use the sugar to make himself forget about the previous 'hallucinations'.

"Forget it, at least let the Land of Light maintain the idealism it has now." Torrecchia said vaguely, "Just let Taylor continue, keep his innocent and kind side." ”

"You and Taylor have a really good relationship, I'm afraid you'll go their separate ways, or even fight each other."

"Tsk, after all, he and I have been friends for so many years." Torrecchia, who had already looked away, was a little puzzled as to why Castor would say this, "Parting ways?" Even if I have some ideological conflicts with him, it won't be enough to fight each other, right? ”

"Oh, nice idea." Casto looked at Torrecchia and suddenly reached out to him, "Well, look at your future." ”

Before Torrecchia could react, suddenly his eyes went dark, and then a long story began to flicker in front of his eyes, a plot that should have belonged to Tartarus, the little golden man, which was forcibly occupied by Casto.

"Hey! Well, let's see if this guy will go on the right path after this time. ”

Inside the ruins, the two Castors met again, and the red giant said as if to the blue giant in front of him, "How is it?" Don't thank me. ”

"Humph! What if Torrecchia can't afford that kind of future at this time! The blue giant said coldly.

"Then it's your turn." The red giant replied to the other party's words indifferently, "Anyway, you are in charge of one Beria, and you are also in charge of one Torrecchia, it's a big deal that you pack him up and send him to Ultra Prison for a few days, his condition can be detected and treated early~~"

"If he can get through this one, then it means that he is no longer the Torrecchia who will be seduced by Tartarus, is he?"

The blue giant's fists clenched, "Honestly, are you taking revenge, I tried to forcibly change Masaki Keigo's revenge."

"No~" The red giant shook his head, "How could I be this kind of person?" ”
