Working as a consultant in the Ultra Universe

Chapter 2010 Ebloon Cells

After Shinjo Tetsuo successfully revived Achilles, Gu Chen and Tetsuo did not stay on the Time-Space Island for long, but returned together to the TPC Far East Headquarters base not far away.

Upon their return, the members of the GUTS team were naturally very curious about what Gu Chen wanted to discuss with Shinjo Tetsuo on the Timeless Island. Gu Chen had already devised a way to deal with this and taught it to Shinjo Tetsuo.

Tetsuo Shinjo initially didn't understand why such exciting news should be kept secret from others, especially from his GUTS teammates who were like family.

But after Gu Chen's explanation, Shinjo Tetsuo finally understood.

Because long ago, Tetsuo Shinjo had already lamented that humanity was gradually losing some beautiful things.

As for the Warrior of Light's true identity, it's better to keep it a secret than not at this stage.

Although the members of the GUTS team are all trustworthy partners, there's no guarantee that one day they won't be overheard by a lurking rat.

Gu Chen said that the Earth is currently fraught with danger, so the fewer people who know the secret of the Warriors of Light, the better.

Furthermore, within TPC, knowing that the Warriors of Light were actually transformed humans could potentially give rise to some unpleasant thoughts.

After all, as can be seen from the original story, even in the universe where Tiga and Dyna live, there are some people whose desires are not fulfilled.

Just like the TPC executives who devised Plan F in "Final Holy War", and Strategist Sato in the Dyna storyline.

Whether driven by personal motives or a desire for the greater good, they all pursued the power of the Warriors of Light, but all of them ended up with negative consequences.

Even though Sawai Soichiro is still in office, it doesn't mean he can suppress all the troubles without them erupting.

Furthermore, Director Sawai is getting old.

In conclusion, Tetsuo Shinjo ultimately understood and agreed to Gu Chen's suggestion to temporarily conceal his identity as the human form of Ultraman Achilles from everyone, and only reveal it to Daigo Madoka.

Speaking of this, Tetsuo Shinjo actually feels that Daigo Madoka had a tough time.

Previously, Daigo Madoka was "tortured" by Gu Chen in the training room, but now Tetsuo Shinjo knows that it was all Daigo Madoka's effort to make himself worthy of Tiga's power.

Moreover, he had personally experienced the intensity of Gu Chen's special training sessions, so Tetsuo Shinjo understood that without a firm will and heavy inner pressure, ordinary people would not be able to persevere.

But Daigo Madoka did it, and he did it very well.

Therefore, after returning to the operations command center and explaining to everyone why Gu Chen had summoned him to Time Island, he went to find Daigo Madoka.

Meanwhile, Gu Chen, who returned to the base with Tetsuo Shinjo, did not go to the operations command room, but went straight to the door of Sakai Soichiro's office.

He was lucky; Sawai Soichiro didn't leave the headquarters for a meeting today, and he was in his office.

So after Gu Chen knocked on the door and identified himself, he was quickly invited into the office by Sawai Soichiro.

……

"Advisor, you're the kind of person who doesn't come here unless there's a reason. What brings you here today?"

Sawai Soichiro laughed, teasing Gu Chen as he poured him a cup of coffee.

Gu Chen didn't stand on ceremony. He picked up his coffee, took a sip, and then got straight to the point: "There is indeed something I need to trouble Director Sawai with, which is related to the TPC Universe Development Center."

Upon hearing this, Sawai Soichiro's expression changed slightly, and he said, "Advisor, you mean...?"

Gu Chen's expression turned slightly serious, and he continued, "I know what the Talent Project research group is researching, and I hope the director can stop this project."

Sawai Soichiro's expression immediately turned serious, and he asked in return, "Can I know why? Or does the consultant have some kind of premonition?"

Gu Chen nodded frankly and said, "Due to his inner obsession, the head of the Talent Project research group, Sanada Ryosuke, plans to transplant Ebron cells into his own body. If we leave it unattended, the Ebron cells will amplify the darkness in his heart, causing him to develop extreme emotions and eventually mutate into an uncontrollable monster."

Sawai Soichiro's expression immediately turned serious.

He didn't think Gu Chen was exaggerating, after all, Gu Chen's 'precognition' ability had been proven many times.

Sawai Soichiro immediately nodded and said, "I understand. I will stop Sanada Ryosuke in advance to prevent the tragedy from happening."

As the head of the Talent Project research group, Sanada Ryosuke clearly possesses remarkable talent, so Sawai Soichiro was naturally aware of him.

However, Gu Chen shook his head and said, "Director, this is not enough. The research on Ebron cells must be stopped at this stage. Otherwise, even if we stop one Ryosuke Sanada, there will still be other tragedies."

In the original storyline, two alien-evolved monsters appeared because of the Ebron cells: Ebron and Metamorga.

Even if Sawai Soichiro were to transfer Sanada Ryosuke ahead of time, preventing him from having the opportunity to receive the Ebron cells, the subsequent research on Ebron cells by others would inevitably lead to the birth of Metamorga.

Therefore, Gu Chen believes that TPC must stop its research on Ebloon cells at this stage, and when it can be restarted depends on the situation.

In conclusion, only when humanity truly recognizes its own insignificance in the universe, maintains a sense of awe for the unknown forces, and establishes strict ethical and safety norms, will it perhaps be possible to approach and study substances with enormous destructive power like Eblon cells in a relatively responsible manner.

Even so, this research itself is fraught with enormous risks and uncertainties.

Unlike Gu Chen, Sawai Soichiro couldn't 'predict the future,' so halting the research on Eblon cells was a very troublesome matter for him.

After all, TPC is not a one-man show by Sawai Soichiro. Although he has high prestige, it does not mean that he can dictate everything in TPC.

All he could do was unify everyone's opinions and ensure that TPC's development direction did not deviate from the path he had set in mind.

However, halting research on Ebloon cells would be going against the vast majority of people in the TPC.

The reason for this is simply that Ebloon cells can enhance the strength of organisms, and are therefore regarded by most people as the key to unlocking human evolution.

Therefore, unless the research on the Ebloon cells suffers significant and unacceptable losses during its progress, Sawai Soichiro really cannot stop the research without any evidence.
