Chapter 116 Acting
Saki has been silently living on Earth for hundreds of years.
Lin Yeming was right; he did know him when he was young.
However, it seems the other party isn't very sure, which makes things much easier. She can simply go with the flow and play dumb.
Of course, she also knew the members of the Victory Team.
Lin Yeming's image often appeared in her mind, and she was also deeply impressed by the Victory Team that always stepped forward when the Earth was in crisis.
During her long years of solitude, she did consider seeking help from the Victory Team, but her inner fear and anxiety prevented her from taking that step.
As an alien, she lacks the extraordinary strength possessed by her powerful counterparts. She cannot have the superhuman attack power of some cosmic warriors, nor can she freely unleash magical cosmic abilities.
Her only distinguishing feature was her long lifespan.
Over the centuries on Earth, she has witnessed countless changes and upheavals, and seen all sorts of deceit and treachery in human society.
From the court intrigues of ancient dynasties to the commercial competition of modern cities, she is like a bystander hidden behind the scenes, witnessing the brilliance and darkness of human nature.
Now, she has only one strong desire left in her heart—to go home.
That distant depths of the universe is her true home.
Upon learning that the guiding capsule had been unearthed, Saki felt an overwhelming surge of excitement.
She rushed to the scene, the flute that had been with her for many years trembling slightly in her hands.
She took a deep breath, gently placed the flute to her lips, and the melodious flute music instantly filled the air.
Just as she was looking forward to her journey home, she was shocked to find the members of the Victory Team carefully inspecting the scene.
At that moment, her heart sank, and in her panic, she could only pretend to faint.
She slowly collapsed, her eyes tightly closed, trying to make her breathing steady and weak, in order to avoid attracting too much attention and unnecessary trouble.
However, things didn't go as planned. Despite her best efforts to disguise herself, she was eventually taken to the GUTS headquarters.
Surrounded by this unfamiliar yet technologically advanced environment, Saki felt uneasy.
But she keenly sensed that the guiding capsule that carried her hope of returning home was right here.
This is an opportunity; if she can finish her performance in front of the capsule, someone will come to pick her up.
Looking at the outrageous Lin Yeming, she silently pleaded, "Mr. Lin Yeming, please help me, I want to go home..."
She felt a little better after saying that, but Lin Yeming suddenly stopped, smiled at her, and turned away sharply.
Although he found it a bit strange, he didn't take it seriously and secretly planned when to go out.
However, this might lead to the winning team being punished by higher authorities...
She cooperated with Mayumi's examination, but she began to refuse to answer any of the questions the other woman asked, continuing to play dumb.
After noon, in the afternoon, he finally found an opportunity.
Taking advantage of the nurse's absence, she secretly slipped out and, guided by her senses, groped her way towards the capsule.
When Mayumi returned, she saw that the patient was not in the hospital bed and assumed that the patient had gone to the toilet. She went to the toilet to look for the patient but could not find her. Instead, the report came out.
This data is strange.
She hurriedly contacted her older brother, only to hear him tell her to go to the command center.
Although she was a little confused, she still went over.
All the Victory Team members who were out on assignment were called back; those who were supposed to leave were asked to work overtime.
Shinjo asked with some concern, "Ye Ming, are you sure you want to do this?"
"That's too dangerous."
Daigo, standing nearby, also advised, "Yes, Yoru, if something goes wrong, it won't be easy to explain to Director Sawai."
Others also offered kind advice.
Lin Yeming frowned slightly, but his eyes remained firm: "I know this is dangerous, but I don't think Saki means any harm."
Isn't our mission as the Victory Team to protect the Earth and explore the unknown?
Since she doesn't actively seek our help, I'll let her take matters into her own hands.
If we abandon helping her out of fear of taking responsibility, how are we any different from those who only know how to run away?
Vice Captain Zong Fang crossed his arms, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Ye Ming, if we stop now, it's not too late."
Lin Yeming glanced at the task list and said firmly, "I've made up my mind!"
Captain Megumi nodded in agreement: "In that case, let the Victory Team take on this responsibility. Yoru, I trust your judgment."
"Me too!"
Others also expressed their opinions.
Lin Yeming felt a warmth in his heart upon hearing this and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm confident."
In the surveillance video, Saki is seen walking rapidly through the base's passageway.
She navigated around corners and avoided patrolling personnel, getting closer and closer to the capsule storage area.
Finally, she arrived at the door of a huge laboratory. Through the glass, she saw the guiding capsule, which emitted a faint light, sitting quietly in a specially made container.
Saki took a deep breath, pushed open the door, and suddenly, the lights around her turned on, but the alarm she remembered did not sound.
Is the defense here so lax?
However, the opportunity was too good to pass up, and she didn't have time to think about right or wrong.
He immediately picked up the instrument on his chest and began to play.
As a pleasant melody played, the capsule opened automatically, and a beam of light pierced through TPC's various protective materials, soaring into the clouds.
Just as the beam of light shot into the sky, Horii appeared outside the laboratory.
He stared in disbelief at the scene before him, while Saki put down her instrument and turned to leave.
At that moment, he thought to himself, "So that's how it is."
The other party was out, no wonder they were able to get in so easily.
She silently apologized, found the lifeboat, got on, and left the area, heading towards her designated location.
Lin Yeming asked, "Ye Rui, can you predict which direction Saki is heading?"
Nori quickly replied, "It's roughly in the direction of Tokyo, but I can't give you the exact location."
"Furthermore, I discovered Saki's background; she actually lived for over a hundred years..."
"It seems Mayumi's hand temperature was real. Shinjo, you need to apologize to Mayumi..."
"I knew it! How could I be wrong? It must be because my brother has crashed too many planes that you're like this..."
Upon hearing the last sentence, Shinjo was furious: "Mayumi, you bastard..."
Zongfang: "Now we're preparing to evacuate people and search for them. Hopefully, just like Yeming said, there won't be any problems."
Just as everyone was about to reply, Ye Rui suddenly shouted, "Captain, we've received an observation report from Delta Space Station. We're currently receiving images."
Could it be that the beam of light attracted us here?
Looking up, I saw something suddenly hurtling towards Earth from space…
Nozue: "The predicted landing site is Tokyo Bay!"
