Chapter 20
I'd Call Him the Prince of Face Slapping

Inside the small villa’s living room.

Jiang He glanced at the metal fragment that Jujian Hui had placed on the coffee table and immediately guessed her intentions.

However, this woman actually brought Berimura Rinko, the research expert from the Victory Team, along with her?

“Can you tell us anything about the monster that fell from the sky?” Jujian Hui was a little hesitant to look at him and quickly changed the subject to the monster.

The reason she brought Berimura Rinko along was that every time she thought back to her hasty retreat not long ago, she felt a little embarrassed.

As the Victory Team captain and a strong woman, this didn’t fit her style.

Berimura Rinko didn’t notice Jujian Hui’s abnormality and also looked at Jiang He, hoping to get some information that would be useful for her research.

“I do have a little bit of a guess.” Jiang He nodded in a feigned manner.

Before Jujian Hui’s eyes could light up with questioning, she saw him hang his shoulders and sigh, “Alas, I worked too late preparing the data for the Gackuma the other day, and my shoulders have been aching recently. I can’t seem to remember what the guess was.”

“.....” Jujian Hui’s face was filled with black lines.

She couldn’t help but internally complain, could this guy be any more fake?

She had never heard of shoulder pain affecting memory, especially due to one night of overwork.

Of course, if she knew that the witch Kirieloid she had seen before was actually a copy summoned by Jiang He, she would realize.

In fact, that certain someone hadn’t even worked for a whole night.

Berimura Rinko stood there stunned.

She had finally seen the infamous personality of this Daoist Master Jiang He, which had been spread as rumors within the Victory Team...

“Then let me massage it for you.” Jujian Hui finally said helplessly, giving Jiang He a glance of exasperation.

If she asked Berimura Rinko to do it, it wouldn’t be appropriate, after all, it was her husband who had brought it up, and it would be too disrespectful to trouble Berimura Rinko.

“Mm, now I remember.” Jiang He nodded in satisfaction, immediately earning a glare from Jujian Hui beside him.

Even Berimura Rinko secretly gave him a roll of her eyes, and then the two of them quietly waited for his next words.

“According to what you both said earlier, this piece of debris from the monster contains elements of the Giththa 3, and it can easily bypass the DSC defense system developed by the astronaut who was one of the three, from the Space Development Agency.”

“This means that the opponent likely devoured the Giththa 3 and obtained the memories of the astronauts.” Jiang He no longer hesitated and directly stated the information.

“Devoured the Giththa 3 and obtained the memories of the astronauts? Are there really such monsters in the universe?” Berimura Rinko asked in disbelief.

The idea of reading memories was far too contradictory to her understanding of science.

“Based on my past research on monsters and mysterious relics, there are indeed such energy entities that feed on energy, capable of attaching to any substance and reading information within it, absorbing their fear and transforming into monsters.” Jiang He affirmed.

As far as he knew, there were many similar energy entities in other universes, but he naturally wouldn’t say that.

After all, he wouldn’t be able to explain it using his knowledge from watching special effects shows in his past life.

“So this monster from outer space not only easily cracked the Space Development Agency’s DSC defense system, but it also went straight for the Space Development Agency’s energy storage tank as soon as it appeared.” Jujian Hui now believed what Jiang He said.

This all corresponded with the various signs she had seen.

“Then what about the three astronauts now?” Jujian Hui asked hesitantly.

“They should exist within that monster in another form, I believe.” Jiang He knew what she wanted to ask and directly shook his head in response.

“Beep beep beep.”

At this moment, Jujian Hui’s communicator suddenly rang.

Jiang He looked at Jujian Hui with some regret as she stopped massaging his shoulder, picking up the communicator.

“This is Jujian Hui, what’s the situation?”

As Jujian Hui’s voice fell, the figures of Zei, Yoshika, and the others soon appeared on the communicator’s screen, the background looking like the Victory Team command center.

“Captain Jujian, has Daoist Master Jiang He gotten any news?” Zei asked.

“Yes.” Jujian Hui nodded and immediately repeated what Jiang He had said earlier.

“How is that possible, reading memories is such a ridiculous thing.” Yoshika retorted, slapping his folding fan in his hand.

He wasn’t against Jiang He, he was just a materialist hawk who didn’t believe in such things.

Especially the part about the three astronauts existing in another form.

The rest of the command center, Zong Fang, Hori, and others, looked at each other in bewilderment, pondering the possibility.

“Commander, Captain, I found a private message from the doctor who went missing on the Giththa 3 in the Space Development Agency’s data! The time stamp shows it’s recent!” A voice suddenly came from the command center, belonging to Nori.

Jujian Hui glanced at Jiang He, who was right next to her, and then at Yoshika, who had just refuted him, placing the communicator on the coffee table, and said to Nori, “Play the message you found immediately.”

“Yes.” Nori immediately operated the computer, and soon a new image appeared on the communicator.

The colors of the image seemed distorted, and even the appearance of the doctor was unstable, apparently the signal was severely affected when the doctor sent this message.

“I hope someone can receive this message. Our Giththa 3, according to the scheduled plan, when it reached Jupiter’s orbit, that thing appeared.”

“It’s an energy entity without emotions or a physical form. It attached itself to the Giththa 3, enveloping us all, read our memories, and ultimately transformed into a monster, heading towards Earth.”

“I hope those who see this message can try to stop it, don’t let our home be destroyed by our own actions...”

Suddenly, the entire command center fell silent.

Then, Zong Fang and Hori looked at Yoshika, who was holding a folding fan and standing there in a daze, with strange expressions.

If they could, they would like to call this Yoshika Commander the “Speed of Light Face-Slap Little Prince.”
