Chapter 243 I will definitely not lose
"What? You're here as a 'spy'?"
"Were all those stories you told me about exploring unknown planets just lies you told me?!"
Before Huilia could ask any further questions, Baltan approached the Pedan alien and sternly questioned him, his two giant pincers clamping tightly, looking very angry.
Pedan Alien hadn't expected Baltan to get angry at him. Now, he was cornered by two powerful monsters and had no way out. The only way to avoid further suffering was probably to tell the truth.
"I'm just doing this for money; I really don't know much about this planet."
"My task is simply to investigate the ecology and life on this planet. I won't do anything else. That's not much different from what we agreed on at the beginning."
"But you bastard, you're a 'spy'! You traded your indifference to life for money!"
The Pedan aliens' indifference further angered the Baltan aliens, and the ideological conflict intensified after being tainted by self-interest.
Baltan, his blood boiling, slammed his pincers into Pedan's helmet, sending him flying several meters.
“What did we say back then? We are scientists, not human traffickers! I will not do anything immoral or immoral; I have my own bottom line.”
"You spy, you traitor! Do you know how many people your trafficking has harmed!"
"What's there to pity about this weird planet! The people here deceive monsters and themselves; they're just a bunch of bandits!"
The clash of ideologies was destined to end in reconciliation, inevitably escalating into violent interaction. The Baltan alien raised and opened its pincers, a beam of white light gathering and aimed directly at the Pedan alien's head.
"That's enough. You already know what you need to know. Leave the rest to me. I have something I want to ask him."
Huilia raised her hand and pressed down on Baltan's pincers, urging him to calm down, saying that it was not the time to deliver a judgment before the information was fully available.
“I’m sorry, Zeta. My recklessness and impatience may have harmed this planet. I never wanted to do that.”
"I will leave this planet later; coming here was a mistake."
"If you go out now, you'll just become a sitting duck for the black market. If you want to ensure your safety, it's better to stay here for now. Although I don't particularly like this world, I at least know that those people aren't capable of hurting you or me."
Baltan appeared dejected. Things were more complicated than he had imagined. His own selfishness, the betrayal of his companions, and the gaze of cosmic forces had all deeply wounded Baltan's mind.
If Zeta hadn't intervened, things might have been truly beyond repair. Meeting Zeta at such a crucial moment was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.
"Before I make my move, is there anything you'd like to say, Zeta?"
"No...you can continue."
Zeta didn't say much; his mind was equally heavy, not because of the sudden change in the situation, but because of his own mental incompleteness.
The person she wanted to protect turned out to be a villain hiding in the shadows, and might even harm the world she wanted to protect in the future. Zeta felt a deep sense of regret and pressure.
The sky was calm and the weather was normal. The view from the mountain was peaceful, and the various events in the forest had not yet surfaced.
All three present remained calm. The situation was clear and there was no room for change. Huilia's overwhelming power prevented the Pedan aliens from making any moves. Baltan and Zeta's unease could only be relieved in their hearts.
"Say, who sent you?"
“I don’t know. I was contacted online by a guy called ‘Duke.’ He paid me to place the order, and then I did the work.”
"How did you make the deal with him?"
"He told me to just write it down and he would send someone to pick it up later, but he didn't tell me the specific time and place."
Even after the incident has passed, the situation remains shrouded in mystery. This time, the opponent is quite formidable, and it seems unlikely that Huilia can win through force alone.
Judging from the Pedan alien's account, he was the one being used from beginning to end, completely unaware of everything and blinded by money, acting as a tool and taking very serious risks.
"The Pedanians' movements are likely being monitored, but I don't know the specifics of how. Is it through that spaceship or something else?"
"My spaceship? That's unlikely. I haven't let anyone near my spaceship."
"But you've already let the Pedan aliens ride on your ship. If they want to tamper with it, how would you know everything?"
"I'll go check it right away. I'll check the entire system."
The Baltan alien wanted to make amends for his mistakes with practical actions, which was the only thing he could do for Ultraman now. The Baltan alien did not want to leave this planet full of beautiful nature with regret.
"So now it's just you and me. Tell me honestly, what is this thing for?"
Before the interrogation began, Huilia removed everything from Pedan's body and locked his hands behind his back as a precaution against any accidents.
What puzzled Huilia the most was something that looked like a radio, which emitted unusual energy fluctuations.
"That...that thing is my personal property, nothing special."
"Oh, really? Then I'll just throw it into the dimensional rift, and you can buy a new one when you get back."
"No! I'll tell you, I'll tell you. That equipment was sent to me by the 'Duke' to help me complete the mission, but I signed a contract that I would have to pay a lot of money if the 'Summoning Machine' was damaged."
The Pedan aliens always talked about money, and Huilia probably knew that he couldn't get more information from him. A guy whose mind was only on money probably didn't have much of a vision.
“I’m confiscating this. I will hand you over along with this item. Until then, you have the right to remain silent, but anything you say will be used against you in court.”
"How did I become something?"
"do you have any opinion?"
"No, please give me your orders, Ultraman."
Drawing his sword and charging his magic, Huilia locked onto the coordinates, intending to hand the Pedan aliens over to Max. Huilia had no desire to go through the motions.
If one alien comes to this planet, then a whole host of aliens will follow, whether on Earth or here.
Dealing with the Pedan and Baltan aliens wasn't difficult, but what kind of aliens and monsters would come to this planet next was entirely unknown.
"Luo Yi, are you there?"
"Ready to serve you at any time, sir."
Using the communication headset was not difficult for Huiliya and Luo Yi. Huiliya was experiencing the convenience brought by technology for the first time in a long time, and now was the time to race against time.
Huilia must prepare for the worst, and may even have to deal with a threat from the entire universe all by herself.
"Send the ant colony to search the entire continent and find the location of all the aliens. If necessary, we can take strong measures. The aliens' abilities should not be underestimated. Even my Ultraman predecessor was defeated."
"But you definitely won't lose, right, sir?"
