Chapter 255 Steele

Of course there won’t be an extra panda out of nowhere.

The thief must have stolen pandas from other places besides Ueno Zoo.

From where?

So far, China has not launched the "panda diplomacy" business of leasing pandas around the world, so there is only one place where pandas can be stolen.

Mainland China

"Of course it is important to capture the enemy in this operation, but the first thing we must ensure is the safety of the pandas!"

Captain Long is making the final arrangements before the battle.

In addition to the two pandas in Ueno Zoo, there are also pandas stolen directly from China, which makes the incident even more sensitive.

No need to be reminded by Captain Long, everyone also knows the importance of protecting pandas. If they die, or even just one or two are injured, a diplomatic dispute will inevitably occur.

This is not Tokyo.

No one expected that the place where the pandas and toys were hidden was not in Tokyo, but in Kawasaki City next door. The thief had already escaped from Tokyo.

If it weren't for the mice following the scent of the pandas in the zoo, Baigui would have almost missed it.

As for the TAC team, if it hadn't been for the unexpected intelligence, the TAC team wouldn't have produced any results even if they spent two weeks investigating the entire Tokyo. As for where the intelligence came from, no one asked.

The TAC team has surrounded the warehouse. Not only the TAC team, but also the National Defense Force and the Metropolitan Police Department have set up a meticulous net outside to surround the place.

If the suspect is a human gangster, no matter how well-equipped the equipment is, it will be difficult for him to fly.

But what they are facing is probably not human.

Beidou, Konno, Yamanaka and Yoshimura formed a tactical team in pairs and approached the warehouse.

There were warehouse areas for several kilometers around, and the people had already dispersed. Only this area was not disturbed. As the four people advanced, the expected resistance did not appear. They approached all the way to the door of the warehouse without being attacked.

.

There seemed to be nothing unusual in the empty industrial park. There was only an old man wearing denim overalls at the door, sweeping the floor with a broom.

Beidou and Yamanaka exchanged glances, and Yamanaka and Yoshimura went to open the warehouse.

Beidou, who was on guard, walked up to the old man sweeping the floor.

"Old uncle, are you a worker in this warehouse?"

The old man ignored it and continued to sweep the floor.

"Old uncle, have you seen a strange man wearing a black cloak?"

When the old man didn't answer or even raise his head, Beidou pulled out his gun.

"Hey, Beidou! That's it!" Konno said quickly. How could someone shoot without answering. "Maybe he is a deaf-mute?"

At this time, the old man finally reacted. He said "ah, ah" twice, with a strange voice unique to damaged vocal cords. He really looked like a deaf-mute.

But Beidou doesn’t believe it.

"Konno, this guy is not a deaf mute, he is an alien."

"Alien?" Konno was a little surprised, looked at the other person, and then laughed.

"Beidou, you can't say someone is an alien just because he looks ugly and looks like a skeleton. Maybe it's just his parents who are ugly?"

Hearing this, Beidou also smiled. He knew that Konno had believed what he said, so he was deliberately mocking the alien.

Because Konno also pulled out a gun.

He, or should I say it, is really ugly. Because he is too thin, his face looks sunken, with veins popping out. The whole face looks like the one in the famous oil painting "The Scream".

But other than that, the old man is really no different from the people on Earth. If he hadn't known it in advance, even Beidou wouldn't be able to tell the difference at all.

As for why he knew the identity of the other party, it was because Ling had already told him.

She said the man who stole the panda was disguised as a warehouse worker.

It's not surprising that Ling also knows Beidou. On this planet, Gaia can always know what she wants to know.

What surprised Beidou was the way she knew.

A hundred ghosts walk at night, I didn’t expect that the strange and weird stories in the legend actually exist.

The radar warning of the TAC team went off all night last night. The whole team was busy for a while, but nothing happened. There were no super beasts, no monsters, and no aliens.

Although strange phenomena have occurred throughout Tokyo, such as raging rats, rain falling in clear skies, and some people even witnessing will-o'-the-wisps. But even though the TAC team sent the Cosmos to patrol the skies above Tokyo, nothing was found.

Airborne radar showed that there was nothing unusual about Tokyo. Except for the extraordinarily deep darkness at night, it was as calm as ever.

It seems to be just a natural phenomenon, some subtle changes, such as subtle changes in some constants that are equivalent to the truth of the universe.

It makes people question whether what they believed in in the past was wrong.

If there is a deviation between human cognition and what is happening in the world, of course it will not be the world that is wrong. Scientists like Einstein who firmly believe that his theory is correct and that the Creator is wrong are rare.

Normal people will doubt themselves.

The scientific system established by the sages of mankind for hundreds of years was broken last night. Fortunately, it was just last night.

In the end, Captain Long didn't know what to think and turned off the warning directly. Fortunately, otherwise, the other people in the TAC team might not be fine, and Dr. Kikaji would fall into madness.

The more you believe in science, the less you can understand the contradiction.

Beidou only found out after Lingya contacted him this morning that it was the Hyakki Night Walk, but the legendary Hyakki did not wreak havoc, but found the panda for them. They also found the alien who stole the panda.

No matter what, the ending is good. Although Mu Kaji is still depressed, staring at the observation data of the homework and muttering "impossible".

It doesn't matter. You will be fine in two days after filling your stomach. People's brains will always change.

On the other side, good news also came from Shanzhong and Yoshimura. After opening the door of the warehouse, they found that the warehouse was full of lost panda toys.

The panda toy is still secondary, the three most important pandas are all in it. They are still rolling around alive.

The "deaf" worker looked back at the warehouse.

[I'm very curious, how did you find out my identity and find me here?]

He no longer pretended, and his voice was sharp and thin, as if squeezed out of a gap. But his lips didn't move, and he didn't know where the sound came from.

When Beidou and Konno pointed TAC guns at them, the aliens didn't look too scared. They were more curious.

He was confident in his own methods, and human technology should not be able to detect him. But the fact is that he hid for only one night before the TAC team discovered his traces. He was surrounded by the human army early in the morning.

"Who are you and where are you from?" Beidou asked, not expecting an answer.

But I didn’t expect that the other party had no intention of hiding anything.

[Me? I am a Steele. My hometown is seven hundred light years away from here.]

It's a very far distance, but it's not too far on the scale of the universe. It's several star systems away from the solar system, so it can barely be considered a neighbor.

"What are you doing here on Earth?"

[Of course I’m here to travel, what else can I do? Do you think I can invade the earth? I’m not that stupid. The earth is protected by the Kingdom of Light. The powerful Yabo people have all lost. We Steelers are far behind.

】

He told the truth.

Although it is not clear how long Star Steele has been on Earth, it is true that he has not harmed humans or destroyed anything. Except this time——

He stole the panda.

[Put down the dangerous weapons. I understand the laws of your country. I neither killed anyone nor destroyed anything. There is no death penalty for theft, right?]

An alien discussing the law with him made Beidou feel ridiculous. But he was indeed right. Although Japan has not abolished the death penalty, the review is very strict, and even murderers are rarely executed. For the crime of theft,

The death penalty is not possible in any case.

"But why did you steal the panda?"

[Ha? What kind of problem is this? The children of the earth like pandas so much. Of course I want to bring a few back to my own planet. It is a pity that these cute creatures are in the hands of you humans. They may become extinct in a while. This

Doesn't this happen rarely? And our biotechnology on Steele Planet is much more advanced than yours. When we return to our planet, this pair of male and female pandas will soon become a large population. At worst, I will

The extra one will be returned to you.]

The extra one he mentioned was obviously the one stolen from mainland China.

But Beidou obviously cannot agree to this kind of thing.

He has no right to agree. Not even Captain Long or even high-level government officials have this authority.

This is a diplomatic issue involving the two countries.

"If you want a panda, as an alien visitor, as long as there is no malicious intent, you can definitely use diplomatic channels." The speaker was Captain Long. He just heard the conversation between the two sides through the communicator, and he rushed from the battlefield headquarters.

Come here.

Although this is not a well-intentioned alien, it does not seem to be completely malicious. He is a rare visitor to the earth.

In the past, aliens always wanted to invade the earth, but this strange-looking Steele alien seems a little cute.
