Su Yu smiled warmly, his answer completely devoid of awkwardness.
“Miss Maya, today is indeed our first meeting.”
“But I think you have a lot of potential to be a singer, so I wanted to collaborate with you!”
Upon hearing this.
Chris Maya assumed that the man before her named Su Yu was a talent scout, and immediately declined.
“Sorry, I signed with an agency a while ago.”
Su Yu waved his hand at her with a smile, while also lowering his head to gesture at the crimson camera hanging around his neck, explaining.
“No, no, no, I think you may have misunderstood, Miss Maya.”
“I'm not a talent scout, but a photographer.”
His face still held a courteous and polite smile, and he extended an invitation to Chris Maya in front of him.
“Miss Maya, would you be interested in letting me take a set of photos of you?”
“Also, I have some good original songs here, are you interested, Miss Maya?”
Because Chris Maya had only recently signed with an agency, she was still a complete newcomer with very few resources.
Hearing Su Yu say this, Chris Maya couldn’t help but feel a surge of interest in her heart, but she also asked cautiously.
“We’ve only met once, how can you be so sure that I can sing?”
“Aren’t you afraid that I'll ruin your songs?”
Chris Maya’s words weren’t actually a lack of confidence in her own singing, but rather suspicion towards Su Yu himself.
After all.
Chris Maya, as someone in the entertainment industry, didn't believe that someone would give her free benefits for no reason.
“It seems like you still doubt me, Miss Maya!”
Su Yu was not surprised by this, so he was prepared.
Su Yu took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Chris Maya.
“This is my business card.”
Chris Maya took the card and looked at it, a look of surprise appearing on her beautiful face.
“Special Advisor to the TPC Victory Team, and Chief Photographer of the Newspaper Department.”
Regarding these two identities.
The former was arranged specifically for Su Yu by Director Zewei after he specifically instructed Captain Hiromi,.
And the latter identity was obtained by Su Yu himself through his own absolute strength, after Hiromi's suggestion regarding the newspaper department was successfully adopted.
It must be said that in the world of Ultraman Tiga.
Almost all the citizens still believed in the TPC organization.
Even.
Even Chris Maya, whose true identity was an alien, after seeing Su Yu's business card, her doubts immediately dissipated.
“Regarding my identity, Miss Maya can also verify it by yourself on the TPC organization's official website.”
Chris Maya carefully put away Su Yu's business card, then looked at Su Yu's face for a few seconds, softly speaking her heart.
“I don’t know why you chose me, but this is indeed an opportunity for me.”
“So… Mr. Su Yu, I’m willing to accept your invitation.”
Su Yu was not surprised by Chris Maya's decision.
“A wise choice.”
He glanced around and then suggested to Chris Maya.
“This is not a good place to talk.”
“If possible, Miss Maya can add my contact information first.”
“We can have time another day to talk more about our collaboration.”
Chris Maya nodded tacitly, she also needed time to digest this sudden encounter.
……………
On the other hand.
As the monster that descended from the universe landed, it immediately faced a fierce attack from Victory Falcon 1 and Victory Falcon 2.
However.
The monster's surface defense greatly exceeded Victory Team’s expectations.
Neither the fighter jets' laser attacks nor the missile attacks could completely break through the monster's defenses, at most they could only slightly knock off a few corner fragments.
Moreover.
What was even more surprising was that the monster easily deactivated the DCS defense system of the High-Purity Energy Reserve Base.
Following this.
The monster, after absorbing a large amount of high-purity energy, soared into the sky like a rocket, disappearing without a trace, leaving only a mess behind.
Victory Team returned without success.
After returning to the TPC base, Team member Hori didn’t waste any time, he analyzed the fragments of the monster’s outer shell that he collected.
He was surprised to find that the components contained in this monster's shell were exactly the same as the Jupiter 3 spacecraft that went to explore Jupiter two months ago.
Recalling that the monster could easily deactivate the DCS defense system of the high-purity energy reserve base, this made Team member Hori's heart feel a bad feeling.
In Victory Team's command room.
Team member Hori told Captain Hiromi and others about his findings, looking solemn.
“Although it’s incredible, the components contained in the monster’s outer shell are indeed exactly the same as the previous Jupiter 3, coupled with the fact that the monster easily deactivated the DCS defense system of the high-purity energy reserve base.”
“As far as I know, the designer of that defense program is Dr. Ezaki, who disappeared from the Jupiter 3 spacecraft.”
Speaking of this.
Team member Hori concluded.
“Therefore, based on my deduction, this monster is absolutely related to the disappearance of the Jupiter 3 spacecraft.”
“Otherwise, none of this makes sense!”
Upon hearing this.
Team member Nori’s expression shifted, as if he had remembered something, then his fingers quickly tapped on the keyboard, and he said.
“Give me a little time.”
“If this monster is related to Jupiter 3, then Dr. Ezaki might have left us some clues!”
Soon.
By logging into Dr. Ezaki's research lab's personal computer from the backend, Team member Nori excitedly retrieved a backup video.
“Found it!”
“I retrieved this backup video, let's see if there are any clues here.”
The next second.
On the big screen, a video that was not very clear began to play.
In the video, Dr. Ezaki also detailed his own encounter with the other two Jupiter 3 members, as well as the origin of this monster.
PS: There will be another chapter later, I will update two more chapters tomorrow morning, a total of five chapters for today!
