"However, it is not as large as a city in the traditional sense as a city."
"To get in here, you have to go through government-controlled buildings around the world, like the one behind us. We usually call these 'gateways'."
Moroboshi Dan stood next to Natsuki and gave a brief explanation.
Afterwards, he led Natsuki through the elevator on the side into the city.
Upon arriving on the alien street, one can see that the facilities here are not as modern as those outside, bearing some traces of the last century, and also showing some modifications made by different alien civilizations.
"So, the target we're looking for is in this city?" Xia Shu asked, looking at the aliens with different appearances on the street.
Just as Dan Moroboshi said, this really is a city belonging to aliens.
Aliens from various planets have settled here, and their interactions are as natural as those of neighbors. There are also many playful alien babies on the street.
"No, we're here to gather intelligence."
"We haven't made any substantial progress in the serial murder case we're investigating yet, and coincidentally, there's someone here who knows about the aliens' internal affairs."
"In addition, during the subsequent intelligence gathering and investigation of the Aidashik aliens, we also discovered that before he actively hunted humans, he had been consuming human corpses purchased from unknown sources."
“Organizations that sell human corpses to aliens are also targets we must destroy.”
Moroboshi Dan said as he walked.
Then, turning around, I saw that Natsuki's figure had disappeared.
After searching carefully, it was discovered that the guy had run to a shop selling alien-themed snacks and was gesturing and talking to the people there.
"Boss, how much is this?"
"Give me two skewers."
"By the way, do you accept Japanese yen here?"
Standing in front of the shop, Xia Shu stared at the strange creature on the iron plate that looked like both a squid and a hammerhead shark, and asked curiously.
Although this looks a bit abstract, the aroma it emits after being brushed with sauce is truly wonderful.
"Waibibabu?"
"Waabi Waabi...?"
The shop owner, whose head resembled a green cactus, looked at Xia Shu and uttered a long string of alien words.
Natsuki: "......"
Despite being fluent in tens of thousands of alien languages, I couldn't understand it.
It truly is another universe.
Seeing his bewildered expression, the boss wiped his hands with his apron and then tapped the translation device on his wrist a few times.
"Six Star Coins, cash or card?" The boss's Japanese, tinged with a translator's accent, came from his wide-open mouth.
After the establishment of the Star Cluster Council, in order to maintain trade between multiple races, a corresponding interstellar currency was naturally needed.
“Hmm…” Natsuki stared at the yen in her hand for a while.
This is where the advantage of having someone guide you in an unfamiliar place becomes apparent.
"You... is eating the first thing you think of when you get here?"
Moroboshi Dan's eye twitched.
With a hint of helplessness, he approached Natsuki and paid the bill.
"Here you go, two skewers of grilled Quirino squid." After taking the money, the shopkeeper handed two oddly shaped skewers of squid to Xia Shu.
"There's no way around it, this stuff really looks delicious."
Natsuki held a skewer of Quirino squid and handed another skewer to Dan Moroboshi, talking as they ate.
Moroboshi Dan looked at what Natsuki handed him, hesitated for two seconds, and then took it.
“There are usually currency exchange counters in different government buildings, or ‘gates,’ so remember to exchange your currency there next time,” he said, pointing to the building they had come from.
......
The two arrived at a remote area of bungalows.
Before them stood a warehouse-like building with a somewhat wild style.
There were also burly aliens guarding the entrance.
“This is it,” said Dan Moroboshi.
"This place... feels like an underground boxing gym," Natsuki said, rubbing her chin as she looked through the window at some of the scenes inside.
“The person we’re looking for is inside,” said Moroboshi Dan, as he approached the guard.
Without showing any identification or following any procedures, the guard glanced at Dan Moroboshi's face and quickly moved aside.
The residents of this alien town all know about the existence of the Kurt Corps.
They also knew that Dan Moroboshi, the officer in charge of dealing with alien criminals for the Science Patrol, was a ruthless individual.
"As expected, this is a place where information brokers would appear." Natsuki followed Moroboshi Dan through the gate, looked at the vast and bustling underground boxing gym, and nodded.
Inside, the audience seats were filled with many grotesque-looking aliens.
On the large central arena stood a burly alien warrior, over two meters tall.
The existence of such a boxing gym is reasonable in Natsuki's eyes. In the vast universe, there must be races that are born with a love for violence, and the fact that such an illegal boxing gym is set up in an alien town just gives them a place to vent their anger, which makes it easier to maintain public order.
"That's the guy."
Moroboshi Dan randomly found an open space and pointed to the figure fighting the alien on the arena.
Judging from his appearance, the man seemed to be of mixed American and Japanese descent. He had neat blond hair, a bit of stubble on his chin, and a confident smile on his face. Although his physique could not compare to that of an alien, he was definitely considered robust among humans.
"His real name is still unknown. He's clearly human, but he likes to blend in with aliens. The people here usually call him by a nickname—"
As Dan Moroboshi was speaking.
The man in the ring had already knocked out the taller and stronger alien with a single punch, and amidst the scorching sweat, he raised one arm high, enjoying the cheers from the audience.
"Jack!!" The aliens in the audience who had placed bets on him shouted passionately.
Jack, that's the man's name in this alien town!
"Jack..."
"That's a really nice name."
Natsuki looked at the man wearing a decorative bracelet on the ring and smiled.
He hadn't paid much attention to this person before, only thinking that he was an informant for them to solve the case.
But upon hearing the name, he instantly became very interested in this person.
He took a step and walked towards the arena.
Jack, 188cm tall, 116kg, 32 years old
Chapter 390 Refund!
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Moroboshi Dan watched Natsuki's actions and asked a question.
"What?"
"Of course I should get to know him properly," Xia Shu said as she walked towards the arena without turning her head.
Back in the Land of Light, he would often spar with Jack to improve their skills.
Their fighting styles are very similar; they both like to use the Ultra Bracelet for assistance in battle, their sparring sessions often yield excellent results, and they frequently exchange combat tips together.
His brother, who was slightly younger than him, also had a very good relationship with Natsuki.
The aliens who were excitedly watching the match in front of the ring suddenly felt someone push them from behind. Just as they were about to turn around and scold whoever was so unruly, they saw that the aliens surrounding them had been completely pushed aside and a human wearing a floral shirt had come down to the bottom of the ring.
"How about we have a match later?" Xia Shu looked up at Jack, who was drinking water, and said with a smile.
Looking at the crowd being pushed aside, and this unfamiliar man.
Jack paused for a moment.
Who is this guy? I've never seen him before.
But those skinny arms and legs...
“Hey boss… this ring isn’t a place to joke around. It wouldn’t be good if you got hurt,” Jack said as he screwed the cap off his water bottle.
Natsuki's figure isn't considered very thin by human standards, but compared to Jack, she appears rather slender.
Moreover, his match today is over, and now it's time for a rest.
"I'll bet a thousand star coins, how about it?" Xia Shu said calmly, patting his empty pockets.
Before Jack could reply, the boxing gym owner, who heard Natsuki's voice, immediately agreed.
I didn't expect there would be additional items today.
"Open for business! Open for business!"
"This human VS Jack!"
"He's already placed a thousand bets on himself, anyone else not calling?!" The alien boxing gym owner shouted at the audience through a megaphone.
Judging from his pathetic appearance, he's definitely no match for the fighting champion Jack.
If you bet on Jack at this point, it's a sure-fire way to make money.
"I'm going with it!"
I'll bet five hundred!
"I'll bet a thousand!"
"I'm betting five thousand! Going all in is a sign of wisdom!"
Moroboshi Dan frowned slightly as he looked at the audience seats that had instantly erupted in cheers.
Where would that guy get any money?
