Chapter 123, Section 122: Raeder - The Longest Night of His Life (Fifth Update)
Back at his lodgings, Raeder turned on the living room light and recovered from the weakness that had gripped him.
Watching Jiang Yu's departing figure, Redel felt a lingering fear.
Teleportation has always been associated with extradimensional life forms, and luckily I didn't provoke them.
"Lucia, keep an eye on it. If it makes any unusual moves, hit it with this, understand?"
Jiang Yu handed the energy blasting gun to Lucia, preparing to explain the situation to Ju Jianhui and the others first.
It's safer to have Lucia keep an eye on Redell's side.
Raeder also possesses telepathic abilities, so Jiang Yu cannot be entirely certain whether his words are true or false; he merely uses the plot he remembers to support his claim.
The truth is not for Raeder to say; it will only be known after Abbas is destroyed.
Lucia carefully took the energy blast gun, feeling a little flattered.
She remembered that the gun was powerful enough to easily neutralize the energy blasts of the Wood-Dwelling Star People.
To put it more vividly, he could shoot her into a pile of mud with one shot.
Such a powerful weapon was simply handed over to her like that—
Aren't you afraid she might betray you?
Wait, Zara seems to have mentioned that a mysterious being shattered the Muzhen aliens into pieces.
Lucia's forehead was dripping with cold sweat as she looked up and met Jiang Yu's helpless gaze.
"Don't overthink it, just focus on understanding it, okay?"
"Um!
Lucia nodded vigorously, turned to look at Redel, and tried to charge the energy blaster.
Redel under the spotlight: "————"
Charging is one thing, but could the muzzle be moved a little? It always makes him feel very insecure.
At the gate, Jiang Yu walked out of the courtyard, stood under a tree, and directly opened PDI to send a video request to Jujian Hui.
After a short wait, Megumi's face appeared on PDI. The scene was not the familiar command room, but a corridor.
Jiang Yu could still faintly hear the sounds of arguing, and he clearly caught words like "spaceship," "civilian," and "regulation."
"I'm sorry, Jiang Yu."
I was in a meeting just now, sorry to have kept you waiting.
Despite the visible fatigue on her face, Kei Kazumi still bowed politely to Jiang Yu in apology.
"Captain, you're being too distant. I treated you and your son to noodles yesterday."
What are those guys arguing about? I can still hear them pretty clearly.
Jiang Yu was a bit bewildered. Was it an occupational hazard that Ms. Ju was so focused on formalities?
"Sigh, it's that spaceship from the Muzhen aliens again."
The intermediary sighed, his heart filled with helplessness.
"Horie and his team haven't even figured it out yet, and those people are already eager to argue about its uses. I really don't understand them. Can't they just stay put?"
I can understand to some extent those hawks who advocate its application in defense, but what's going on in the minds of those who want it to be used directly in civilian applications?
The director is right; this capital should be gradually eliminated, otherwise it will only cause trouble.
Perhaps because it was too painful to keep it bottled up inside, Megumi Kijima found a moment to vent and spoke out without any restraint.
In an effort to balance the interests of all parties, Director Sawai brought in some spokespeople, but isn't this proposal, which disregards the facts, going a bit too far?
Only when talking to Jiang Yu can I not hold back. First, we're not in the system, so those people can't cause trouble. Second, Jiang Yu doesn't care about these things at all; he's capable of anything when he's angry.
"Captain, don't get angry over these guys."
The director is still here, so just leave it to him; he'll definitely handle it.
Jiang Yu comforted him, noticing that he seemed to hear the noise in the conference room suddenly subside, wondering if it was because he had heard Kijima Megumi getting angry.
"Let's not talk about them anymore. Jiang Yu, what brings you here so late? Is there some trouble with Lucia?"
After calming down, Megumi quickly returned to the main topic and got into work mode.
A true strong person should not be controlled by their emotions.
"Here's the thing, I have an alien here who originally planned to come to Earth to capture combat slaves."
Now that I've caught him, he says he doesn't want to do it anymore and has even implicated his colleagues.
What I mean is, Captain, could you have Ye Rui check the areas where strong men have recently disappeared?
Jiang Yu gave a brief explanation first, and the specific battle plan would have to be confirmed in person the next day.
"Is it another slave capture? I understand, I'll explain to the supervisor right away."
By the way, should I send someone to pick you up now?
Jiang Yu thought for a moment but still refused, saying, "No need, Captain. It's easier to keep an eye on that guy here. Remember to have Horii develop a high-intensity light source. That guy who's still looking for slaves is afraid of strong light."
Jiang Yu was now somewhat reluctant to kill monsters or advanced life forms indiscriminately. The unusual activity of the Primordial Alien Beast caused by the Wood-Pure Star People made him feel uneasy.
The creature that Noah's power pursues is no simple matter, and the Paragishi Stone itself does not reject monsters or the power of darkness.
Jiang Yu feared he wouldn't be able to handle any unforeseen changes.
In the Next movie, Takafumi Aruto, who merged with the light of the alien beast, had his consciousness completely dissipated.
Whether Paragizite will make another move remains to be seen.
Jiang Yu hated this feeling of not being able to control things.
Are you afraid of bright light?
"Understood, I'll go inform Horii right away."
After hanging up PDI, Megumi went to the conference room to explain the situation to Director Sawai and then hurriedly went to the command room.
I'll probably have to stay up all night again tonight, kidnapping Earthlings to be enslaved again, those damned guys.
After explaining the situation to Megumi, Jiang Yu entered the house and communicated with Lucia telepathically.
"This guy absolutely cannot have any accidents before tomorrow morning. We'll each take turns keeping watch tonight."
You're in the first half of the night, I'm in the second half, understand?
As soon as Jiang Yu finished speaking, Lucia stood up and pledged her loyalty.
Actually, there's no need for that at all; she could have just stayed up all night by herself.
During exile, it's normal to go for days and nights without sleep.
Now that Jiang Yu has taken her in, she needs to offer her own value.
"You've got some nerve, daring to contradict me. What I say goes, and I won't hesitate to make you suffer when it's your turn."
If you force yourself to endure hardship, it will only make me think you're a fool.
Jiang Yu patted Lucia on the shoulder. This girl is physically fit and quite clever.
He can ask her to help with some things in the future, but there's no need for her to be so humble in everything; it makes him uncomfortable.
"Yes, sir, I understand."
Lucia nodded, gripping the energy blaster tightly in her hand, feeling trusted by a stranger for the first time.
"Don't call me 'sir' anymore. You guys are all the same. Did you all learn it from Obik?"
Didn't you hear what Daigo and Rena called him? Just call him Jiang Yu!
"Yes, Lord Jiang Yu."
Lucia looked rather docile with her head down, and Jiang Yu was too embarrassed to say anything.
"It's hopeless, goodbye."
In the living room, Redel, looking at the dangerously pointed gun barrel, cautiously communicated with Lucia.
"Ms. Lucia, could you move the gun barrel away a little?"
Despite sensing the telepathic connection, Lucia still shook her head, her gun barrel remaining firmly in place.
"No, I won't shoot unless you move."
If you're tired, you can take a rest.

Redell:
"————"
Is this even human language? Who would dare to sleep in this kind of language?
Looking out at the darkness of the night, Redell felt like crying but had no tears. This must be the longest and darkest night of his life.
