Her human touch made her even more professional than Lu Xuan.
Because the AI did not directly delete the monitoring data, but instead modified some of the monitoring data.
Even if someone discovers something fishy about this place later and checks the footage from the security cameras to find out what happened here.
All we can see is Lu Xuan leaving safely after negotiating with the burly men.
In a sense, this can be considered a kind of alternative "reality correction".
Aside from those who actually experienced it firsthand, no one will know what just happened here.
"That's good!"
"Let's see what's going on here!"
Nodding in satisfaction, Lu Xuan didn't press the matter further. Instead, he took off running in the direction where Gedi and Saki had disappeared.
"Tracking the movement of 'Gadi', please turn left 53 meters ahead..."
By tracking the special collar around Gedi's neck, Lu Xuan listened attentively to the slightly cold, mechanical voice of the AI, not worried at all about losing them.
Lu Xuan, however, was so focused on finding out the truth that he didn't notice.
In a secluded corner behind him, a man and a woman holding a camera were staring in disbelief at everything that had just happened.
The couple were none other than Onoda and Xue Na, who had found this place through various clues.
"That was... a pistol, wasn't it?"
Watching Lu Xuan's retreating figure with some fear, Xue Na finally suppressed her fear and whispered to Onoda beside her for confirmation.
"You're not mistaken, that is indeed a pistol."
Onoda's voice trembled slightly, equally surprised that he and his companion would witness such an outrageous scene.
"And it's the most commonly used police pistol—the P230."
Despite being a top journalist, Onoda had witnessed images of guns on more than one occasion.
But that usually happens in dangerous areas or in countries where gun ownership is legal.
This was the first time Onoda had ever seen someone so ruthless as to pull out a gun on the streets of Japan.
Noticing Lu Xuan's expression, Onoda had no doubt that the other party would really shoot and kill someone.
Onoda had only ever seen that cold look in the eyes of some mentally ill patients with "antisocial personality disorder".
"So...should we still chase after them?"
Having already begun to back down, Xuena continued to ask in a low voice, her words filled with rejection.
Just like all those guys who love dragons but are terrified of them.
Before danger strikes, Xue Na is often the most proactive and eager to find out the truth.
But when danger actually struck, Xuena, who wasn't fully prepared, instinctively refused to continue the investigation.
Unfortunately, Onoda has now been successfully aroused by his curiosity as a professional journalist.
A mysterious girl, a dangerous office worker, and a yakuza member who shouldn't be in such a remote place...
All these signs indicate that the "immortal incident" they are investigating may not be as simple as they previously imagined.
"Why didn't you chase them anymore?"
Immediately packing up his camera, Onoda ran without hesitation toward the street where Lu Xuan had disappeared.
Following closely behind, Xuena gritted her teeth and had no choice but to follow as well.
This was the first time Xuena had ever experienced such a true "headline news".
Therefore, she absolutely could not allow herself to show weakness in front of Onoda.
"Boss? Shall we go in?"
As two more people darted out from the street corner, the gangsters who had been intimidated by Lu Xuan earlier couldn't help but exchange bewildered glances.
"Go? Go my ass! Didn't you see that guy has a weapon?"
He glared fiercely at his subordinates and reprimanded them without any politeness.
"In our line of work, keen eyesight is more important than physical skills."
"This incident is clearly not as simple as the boss said. Aren't we afraid of getting shot if we chase after them?"
At this point, the leader of the yakuza group paused slightly before lowering his voice to speak.
"Send a text to the boss and tell him that the office worker has a gun..."
"As for the few of us?"
"We've done our best. We'll just stay here and wait patiently for the boss and the others to come back."
"Well, that's assuming they can come back safely..."
Chapter 54 The Alien "Bamboo Cutter Princess"
"Stop running! Miss Saki!"
Unaware of his subordinates' ulterior motives, the burly yakuza man and his men chased after Saki, panting heavily, but they couldn't close the distance.
However, through this brief chase, the muscular yakuza also discovered Saki's unusual behavior.
Putting aside his extraordinary physical abilities, his ability to jump three meters high is something that ordinary people cannot possess.
Most importantly, Saki's sudden escape was clearly not to avoid them, but to avoid that seemingly ordinary big dog.
Like the exceptionally strong Saki, this large dog was clearly no ordinary creature either.
No one would doubt the ferocity of this big dog.
Even those fighting breeds specifically designed for dogfighting would probably be no match for it!
If they continued chasing like this, the yakuza strongman wasn't sure if Saki and that big dog would run out of energy, but he and his gang of underlings would definitely collapse from exhaustion.
"Damn it! Stop it, all of you!"
A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes, and the burly man gritted his teeth and pulled out a pistol from his pocket.
Silence!
The next second, a scorching laser beam shot forward, filling the air with a burnt smell.
Instantly sensing the danger, Gedi's monstrous instincts made it dodge, narrowly missing the laser beam.
Although Saki wasn't as perceptive as Gedi, she had already noticed the yakuza man's movements and reacted faster than Gedi, immediately collapsing to the ground.
"Huh...huh...huh..."
Only then did the panting yakuza surround Saki and Gedi.
In particular, the grimacing Gaddy was being held at gunpoint by the yakuza burly men, who would immediately fire if he made the slightest move.
It wasn't that the burly man didn't want to shoot immediately, but he clearly remembered that this big dog had an owner.
Before figuring out the identity and background of the master, the cautious nature honed over many years by the burly man would never offend him so easily.
"Don't shoot!"
Just then, Saki, who was slowly getting up from the ground, suddenly spoke.
She didn't see through the yakuza man's intentions, so when she tried to stop him, her expression was one of extreme fear.
"It is... the guardian!"
When it came to the word "Guardian," Saki clearly hesitated for a moment before finally deciding to use that word to refer to Gedi.
Unfortunately, the yakuza strongman had no idea what Saki was saying.
"Guardians? What are those?"
The question wasn't asked by the burly yakuza man, nor by his bewildered subordinates, but by Lu Xuan, who had appeared behind them at some point.
......................................................................................................
"Guardians? What are those?"
One hand held a gun pointed at the burly yakuza leader, while the other thoughtfully stroked his chin...
Lu Xuan stood there nonchalantly, plunging everyone present into a deathly silence.
A sharp suit, a neat tie...
At this moment, Lu Xuan was still dressed as a "corporate slave".
Yet, the aura he exuded was one of solemn authority without needing to be angry.
"Oh, by the way, just a reminder."
“I’ve hacked all the nearby security cameras, so no one will know what’s going on here.”
A faint, ambiguous smile appeared on Lu Xuan's face, his expression remaining calm, so calm that it even instilled a sense of fear and trepidation in others.
"Would you mind telling me what exactly happened?"
When he asked this question, Lu Xuan's gaze swept over the group of yakuza members and landed directly on Saki.
Based on the brief contact and observation just now, Lu Xuan was already certain.
These gangsters are just a group of thugs who take money to solve problems for others and have no idea what the inside story is.
In contrast, the Sagi period showed suspicious signs from beginning to end.
"Um...excuse me, sir, we are from the Murata-gumi. May I ask..."
The burly man swallowed the word "kid" that had just slipped out, and just as he was about to say something, he obediently shut his mouth the next moment.
The moment he opened his mouth to speak, Lu Xuan had already pulled the safety off his pistol. The crisp mechanical clanging made him realize who was in charge here.
"Shut up. From now on, you will answer whatever I ask."
Without even glancing at the burly man, Lu Xuan had already made his thoughts clear through his attitude.
Even if the burly man's pistol is more advanced than Lu Xuan's.
But when it comes to killing, it's never about the quality of the weapon.
No one doubted Lu Xuan's determination to kill, and no one would risk their life to challenge the thoughts of a madman.
"Your name is Saki, right?"
Can you answer my question?
"Who exactly are you? Why do you call Gedi the Guardian?"
Having already formed some vague suspicions, Lu Xuan continued to press for answers, while also beginning to ponder Sha Ji's true identity.
Monster? Superhuman? Or alien?
"I am not from Earth..."
No longer intending to hide her identity, Saki's next words shocked everyone present except Lu Xuan.
"I am an alien who was stranded on Earth two hundred years ago, and I have been waiting for my people to come and take me back."
With his eyes slightly narrowed, Lu Xuan couldn't help but complain upon hearing this.
"Sounds like another 'Bamboo Cutter Princess' story?"
"Your hometown isn't also on the moon, is it?"
Even though she knew Lu Xuan was just joking, Saki still shook her head and answered very seriously.
"No, I come from a much more distant galaxy, a strange galaxy that is far beyond the reach of your current human technology."
"On our planet, besides my people, there lives a group of beings we call the 'Guardians'."
"They are giant beasts that were conceived at the beginning of the planet's birth, and are the planet's 'offspring'."
"These behemoths have no concept of 'lifespan'; they only die when they encounter an invincible natural enemy..."
There was no need for Saki to continue; everyone, including Lu Xuan, couldn't help but turn their gaze to the grimacing Gedi.
The yakuza members were incredulous, as if they were listening to a myth, unable to imagine that the big dog was actually an "immortal" mythical beast.
Lu Xuan, on the other hand, looked enlightened, as if he had unlocked another "secret" about this world.
