Ultraman: I Really Didn't Want to Rule the World

Miri immediately and considerately explained to the two of them.

This event is more of a fundraising campaign than a charity event. It was initiated by Field Company and jointly launched with several multinational corporations. It is a fundraising campaign open to the world. In order to attract ordinary people to donate, there is no limit to the amount of donation. At the same time, a lottery was launched. As long as you donate, no matter how much you donate, you can participate in the lottery. There are ten prizes in total.

Aside from the large sum of money in the third prize and the property in the second prize, the first prize is the most valuable.

"...The Field Stone, hailed as a 'gift from the universe,' is a meteorite that the Field Company obtained by chance. It is said to have undergone no artificial processing and is an incredible gem that comes from an unknown corner of the universe. It is said that everyone who sees this gem will feel physically and mentally happy."

"Huh?" Kudo Yuuki couldn't help but exclaim, "That sounds amazing."

"Not only is it amazing, it's also very beautiful." As a girl, well, a female robot, Merika also really likes beautiful gems, so she paid a lot of attention to them back then.

"According to statistics, 30 billion people participated in this charity event at the time, and unexpectedly, the winner of the first prize was..."

Mirika and the others subconsciously turned their heads to look at Hongtu, who was talking to Kana, and gradually revealed the look of looking at the "lucky one".

Hong Tu, noticing their gazes, thought: "?"

The three of them quickly looked away, pretending not to see him, but they couldn't hide the expression on their faces.

Hong Tu: "..." Actually, I know what you're thinking even if you don't say it. What's so surprising? He can get a winning lottery ticket or flyer slapped in the face while walking down the street, and he can get a free meal just because it's an anniversary sale.

Today's mini-drama:

Hong Tu: I have a slightly exquisite gemstone that I need your help to escort.

Kana: May I ask what kind of gemstone it is?

Red Tea: A unique extraterrestrial gem found only on Earth.

Kana: ...Ah, Mr. Kurenai, I suddenly remembered that we have already accepted a request from the Foreign Affairs and Unknown Division, and we are out of manpower.

Hong Tu: ...You don't need to pay for it if it's lost.

Kana: Mr. Hong, let's discuss the price.

Chapter 1357 The Cursed Gem

"...Anyway, that security guard insists that the thief flew away, so there are more and more rumors about aliens targeting this stone, so I wanted to ask you for help." Hong Tu smiled, "Originally, this matter should have been entrusted to the Foreign Affairs and Unknown Division, but the truth of the alien matter cannot be determined, and the Foreign Affairs and Unknown Division seems to be too busy with the previous monster incident, so they really don't have the extra energy to help me. But they recommended you, so I came."

Kana nodded thoughtfully: "I understand, we'll accept this request."

Kana clapped her hands at the others: "Alright, everyone come over here, we have a new request."

The others sat up straight, looking ready for battle.

Hong Tu checked the time: "I will go with you. Let's not delay, let's set off now."

"Homare, Yuuki, I'm leaving you two in the care of things." Kana smiled at the two remaining field staff. "Mirihana and I will be here to provide you with remote support."

After assigning tasks, Muneya Homare and Kudo Yuuki followed Hongtu out the door.

Because it was a commissioned mission, Hong Tu did not ride her own vehicle, but instead sat in Igis's private car.

Yes, it's said that Kana bought a black SUV with a loan some time ago.

Kudo Yuuki drove, Muneya Homare sat in the passenger seat, while Kou Tu enjoyed the back seat all by herself.

The black vehicle pulled out of the building and drove toward its destination.

“The gem is currently at the Field Company’s branch,” Hong Tu said, opening her phone and glancing at the message. “They’ve already sent a message saying the handover is complete, and we just need to go and pick it up.”

"I never imagined that such a precious gem would be put up for a lottery," Kudo Yuuki exclaimed unconsciously, sounding like someone from a poor family.

While tapping on his phone, Hong Tu casually replied, "Ah, this one? Apparently, it's because this stone is only pretty and has no other use. It can even cause nightmares. The original owner was so exhausted from all the torment that he wanted to get rid of it as soon as possible, so he resorted to this trick."

His casual remark seemed to reveal something extraordinary.

Kudo Yuuki was speechless for a moment, and even Muneyoshi's expression went blank for a moment.

Finally, trying to break the awkward atmosphere, Kudo Yuuki chuckled dryly and said, "...It sounds like some kind of cursed item."

But he regretted it as soon as he said it; he should have kept it to himself...

Hong Tu was unfazed: "It is indeed a cursed item. In fact, this stone has been resold many times, but it always returned to its original owner for various reasons. That's why they came up with this idea of ​​recruiting lucky people all over the world."

Kudo Yuuki: "..."

Muneyoshi: "..."

No, this can no longer be considered a lucky one; isn't he the next cursed sucker?

They couldn't help but glance at Hong Tu in the back seat, who still had no unusual expression. They really wanted to ask Hong Tu why she still went to accept that gemstone, knowing all these rumors.

Perhaps because the two people's frequent glances were too obvious, Hong Tu knew what they were talking about without them even asking: "It mainly sounds very interesting, and since it was won in a lottery, it would be a shame not to go and check it out."

Thirty minutes later, they arrived safely at the foot of Field's branch office building.

Kudo Yuuki and Muneya Homare waited outside, while Hong Tu went inside the company to retrieve something.

About twenty minutes later, Hong Tu arrived carrying a suitcase, accompanied by a man in a suit and tie.

The man politely saw Hong Tu to the door, handed him a business card, and watched him get into the car.

Hong Tu opened the back seat and casually put the suitcase next to her: "I'll leave the rest to you two."

Soya Yuki didn't say anything, but simply sat up straight, while Kudo Yuuki started the car and began the return journey.

……

The black SUV drove out of a side road, into another narrow street, and then turned onto the main road. With increased traffic, the attackers would have even fewer opportunities.

Hong Tu suddenly put down her phone and turned to look ahead.

Kudo Yuuki also stepped on the brakes and stopped the car.

An elderly woman had fallen in front of the vehicle, her vegetable basket overturned, scattering fresh vegetables all over the ground.

Kudo Yuuki subconsciously unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car to help. Muneya Homare frowned and turned to look at Hong Tu.

Hong Tu turned her gaze away from the front and looked at the left side of the vehicle.

A man dressed in gray clothes suddenly appeared to his left. He was wearing sunglasses and a mask, and was holding a gun that clearly did not belong to Earth's technology. He pointed it at the vehicle.

At the same time, the door next to Muneya Yu was also opened, and a man in a black leather jacket was holding a gun and pointing it at Muneya Yu's head.

Kudo Yuuki exclaimed in surprise. The old woman had already torn off her disguise. Although she looked old, she stood up quite nimbly, swatted away Kudo Yuuki's outstretched hand, and pointed a gun at him as well.

“Excuse me, sir, please hand over the box to us,” the man in the gray coat said in a muffled voice. “I think life is more important than a cursed gem.”

Hong Tu was being held at gunpoint, but she wasn't flustered at all. She even had the leisure to touch the box beside her: "But what I have in my hands has not been taken away."

As soon as he finished speaking, Muneya Yu in the passenger seat suddenly leaned forward and, in a posture extremely unsuitable for exerting force, snatched the gun from the gunman outside the door, while simultaneously pulling the guy inside.

In the blink of an eye, their positions changed. The previous threatening man was pinned to the back of his seat, while Muneya Yu knelt on his back, his gun pointed unceremoniously at the man's head. He raised his head slightly and said, "You'd better put your guns down first."

At the same time, Kudo Yuuki's mother-in-law, who was holding him hostage, was distracted for a moment, and Kudo Yuuki seized the opportunity to knock the gun out of her hand.

The situation now seems to have reversed. Hong Tu, the only one still being held at gunpoint, calmly looks at the gray-clad man outside the car: "I'm a little curious, what do you want this for?"

"This is none of your business, humans! Those things originally belonged to us!" The gray-clad man's tone was harsh; even though his two companions had already failed, he still showed no sign of giving up.

Hong Tu tilted her head and looked at him, letting out a disdainful sneer: "Heh."

This shout completely enraged the other party, who thrust his gun forward, ready to fire.

Hong Tu swiftly opened the car door and slammed it against him.

His movements were too fast and without warning. The gray-robed man didn't have time to react and was hit in the stomach by the door. Meanwhile, the arm holding the gun reached into the car window, and Hong Tu easily snatched the gun from his hand.

Today's mini-drama:

The man in gray: Hand over the jewels, they're ours!

Hong Tu: Ha, just because you say it's yours doesn't mean it is. What's in my hands is mine.

Dark Alien of the Empire: That's right, it's the King's!

The Earth consciousness that presented the gem to Hong Tu: Yes, yes, it's this darkness.

Chapter 1358 The Eighteenth Palm: A Special Gem

Now all three attackers were able to retaliate.

Hong Tu got off the car carrying the box in his hand, glanced at the gun in his hand, and then looked at the attacker on the ground.

The heavy blow he had just delivered finally broke the guy's facade, and his sunglasses fell to the side, revealing a pair of eyes that were clearly not human.

Those were pure blue eyes with no whites, clearly indicating that the attackers were aliens.

"So there really are aliens eyeing this thing." Hong Tu casually lowered his hand, not pointing the gun at the other party.

Muneya Yu loosened his grip and pulled the person out of the car.

The three aliens were driven together, and Hong Tu prepared to call the Foreign Affairs and Unknown Department to hand them over.

He had just taken out his phone, but his first action was not to turn on the call; instead, he slightly tilted his head.

The next instant, a light blue beam grazed his cheek and struck just before his toes, leaving a smooth little hole in the ground.

If he hadn't dodged just now, this blow would probably have hit him directly in the head.

This attack startled the people around him; even the three aliens hadn't expected things to develop this way.

Hong Tu merely turned to look at the source of the attack. With her back to Kudo Yuuki and the others, her usual gentle expression vanished, replaced by indifference and... a pair of eyes that gradually turned crimson.

"It seems there are other ambushers." Hong Tu's voice was devoid of emotion, but carried a chilling undercurrent that instilled fear.

But Kudo Yuuki and Muneyoshi had no time to pay attention to this. After a brief moment of astonishment, they quickly stepped in front of Kurenai and said, "Mr. Kurenai, let's leave here first."
