Chapter Nine: The Temptation of Immortality (Follow-up!)
"I see."
Shaking his head in understanding, Lu Xuan immediately turned his attention to the Jidao people with ugly faces.
Although I am skeptical about Sha Ji's statement.
But even the most simple-minded guy present realized that he and others seemed to be involved in an incredible incident.
Especially after listening to Sha Ji's words, Gaidi walked to the other party in a swagger, completely ignoring the existence of everyone in the Yida.
Such smart performance is enough to show that Bai Gedi is no ordinary big dog.
This can't help but add some credibility to Sha Ji's remarks.
"Sir, we are just ordinary people who take money from others and do things for them. We have no intention of getting involved in such a big incident."
First, he glanced at Geddy, who was so smart that he was almost psychic, and then glanced at Lu Xuan, who always pointed his gun at him...
The leader of the extremely strong man immediately put down the gun in his hand and tried his best to show that he was harmless.
Of course, as a veteran who has been in the Yakuza for so many years, the strong man in the Yakuza is not stupid enough to throw away the gun in his hand.
As his close confidants, the brothers around him also adjusted their positions without leaving any trace, ensuring that they could occupy a powerful position as soon as the fight started.
"I promise that only our brothers present know what happened today, and it will never be disclosed to a third party."
Not paying attention to the strong man's promise, Lu Xuan just turned his attention to the gun in the opponent's hand with great interest.
"Ordinary people?"
"Can an ordinary person get access to the experimental energy weapons inside TPC?"
In today's era, although due to the comprehensive popularization and development of new energy, there is a trend of large-scale research on energy weapons in various regions around the world.
But overall, live ammunition weapons still occupy the mainstream in the world.
Except for the security forces and defense forces within the TPC, new equipment like energy weapons that do not require ammunition replenishment are almost impossible to appear in the hands of an ordinary person without any background.
"This weapon was given to me by Mr. Takagi as one of the rewards for this operation."
He confessed the origin of the gun very neatly, but the extremely strong man did not hide anything on this point.
After all, it was for the sake of this new weapon that he led his brothers to this remote place to look for Sha Ji.
It's a pity that the extremely strong man had a bad start.
When I first arrived, I met Sha Ji and Lu Xuan, two guys who didn't play by the rules, which led to the current situation of failure.
"Mr. Takagi?"
"Who is he?"
"Why are you causing trouble for this... um, Miss Saki?"
After a brief pause, Lu Xuan did not use the impolite-sounding term "alien" after all.
Because as a being who has lived on earth for two hundred years.
In a sense, this Miss Sha Ji is even more like a "native" of the earth than the current Lu Xuan.
"I know this!"
Before the strong man from Ji Dao could continue to answer, Sha Ji, who had already understood Lu Xuan's character, immediately took the question and answered.
"The old man Takagi he talks about should be Takagi Toneri, the grandson of Masanobu Takagi and the helmsman of the Takagi Consortium."
"Takagi Masanobu was the first human being I encountered when I crash-landed on Earth two hundred years ago."
"It was he who took me in, who I knew nothing about at the time, and led me to integrate into this planet little by little."
His eyes were full of nostalgia and sigh, and it was only then that Sha Ji showed some vicissitudes of life as an "immortal".
"After Masanobu's death, in order to avoid attracting the attention of outsiders, I chose to leave the Takagi family."
"What I never expected was that that kid from Sheren would actually establish a religious group called 'Tianyi Sect' after that, and was determined to find me."
Saki did not explain clearly why Takagi Toneri insisted on looking for her.
But no one present is stupid, so they can naturally understand what Sha Ji's existence means.
Let alone its own alien technology and civilization, its "immortality" feature alone is enough to cause a bloody storm.
"Unexpected, but reasonable."
"If it were me, I wouldn't let go of such a high-quality experimental 'material'..."
"Especially when you are getting closer and closer to death."
To be honest, if Lu Xuan hadn't solved the problem of cell telomeres while studying Omnitrix, I'm afraid he wouldn't have let Sha Ji go.
During the growth of carbon-based organisms, cells will continue to lose DNA telomeres as they divide.
When telomeres disappear completely, cells will automatically stop dividing.
At that time, it will be the end of the life span of carbon-based organisms - death.
The civilization where the Sand Age is located has obviously broken the ultimate fate of all carbon-based organisms, at least extending its own cell division times indefinitely.
The only thing unclear is whether the research on this civilization was completed completely independently, or whether it was achieved through reverse research on the "Guardians".
If it was the former, Lu Xuan felt that he had to reconsider the level of this unknown civilization.
"I'm going to take Miss Shaji away now. You guys shouldn't have any objections, right?"
It seemed like a simple question, but no one would think that Lu Xuan was really asking for the opinions of the Yakuza.
"No objection, no objection. You two can leave at any time. I guarantee that no one will stop you."
So, under the watchful eyes of a group of extremists, Gedi grinned and urged Shaji to leave the encirclement.

"call……"
It wasn't until Lu Xuan left the alley without looking back that the leading strong man secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Boss, are you really going to let them go like this?"
Standing behind the strong man, one of his subordinates clenched his fist unwillingly.
From his debut to now, he has never been so frustrated, and he has never seen his boss look so cowardly.
This is completely inconsistent with the consistent style of the "Murata-gumi", let alone the consistent behavior of the boss.
"Of course! Otherwise, what else do you want to do?"
"If you really want to die, don't drag me with you!"
He glared fiercely at his men. The strong man's behavior at this moment was exactly the same as his men who stayed in place to stop Lu Xuan.
"But……"
He hesitated and opened his mouth. He wanted to continue to say something, but he saw the strong man from the extreme slapped him in the face.
"Nothing to worry about, that kid is someone we can't afford to offend!"
"Did you see the pendant on his chest?"
"I'm in Mr. Gaomu..."
"No, I have seen it in the documents of Takagi Toneri's old thing. It is a new generation product that Galvin Company has secretly researched and plans to promote on the market - the 'volute'."
"That thing can automatically generate a layer of protection when it is attacked to a certain extent, protecting the holder from injuries such as gunshots."
"To be able to own this thing, that kid must be an insider of Galvin Company!"
"Or are you planning to provoke a multinational giant like Galvin Corporation for money that you may not get at all?"
As soon as these words came out, the scene suddenly fell silent.
Even the most aggrieved subordinate before now stopped talking.
"Go back and read more to me!"
"In this era, you not only need to have a good sense of vision, but also have enough knowledge reserves, otherwise you will die without knowing it!"
