“What is that… Monster?” Along with George’s terrified voice, Anna who was not far away underwent a shocking transformation.

Her face was still exquisite, but her legs were facing away from George, while her upper body was facing towards George.

A person’s upper body and lower body were reversed, this was not something a human could do.

What frightened everyone the most was Anna’s normal way of speaking. Could it be that she did not feel anything strange at all?

At this moment, Anna seemed to have realized it. She lowered her head and saw that her lower body was facing away from her upper body. She went silent.

The silence was short. Anna, who was now eerie, finally spoke.

However, the words she spoke she made intensified the horrifying atmosphere.

“Hehe, to think I was still discovered by you guys. I was too careless!”

“What exactly are you…”

SeeIng that George was asking her a question again, Anna didn’t wait for him to finish. Instead, she answered in advance.

“You want to ask me what kind of monster I am, right?”

Her body was in a posture that defied human biology, which undoubtedly scared everyone present.

This included Buck and the policeman.

“Bang!”

After a crisp sound, the fully armed policeman had removed the gun from its buckle and held it in his hand. His fingers were tightly pressed on the trigger, ready to fire the loaded bullet at any time.

“You, you don’t move!”

The policeman who was aiming at Anna with his gun spoke in a trembling voice due to his nervousness.

As for Buck, who was standing not far behind George, one could tell from his expression that he was much calmer than the police officer.

However, Buck did not take any action. He was observing everything in front of him, making it obvious that he was a professionally trained secret agent.

At this moment, Anna spoke again. However, her body remained still, giving off a feeling that she was very afraid of the weapon in the hands of the police officer.

“George, will you still remember me in the future? Just like what I asked you on the phone before, I will ask you again, will you remember me?”

The phone call from before?

George had forgotten about all that. At that time, he had just found out that he had obtained an interstellar battleship, and was not paying any attention to what Anna had said at all.

“I…”

He looked at Anna, who had turned into a monster, and did not know how to answer the other party’s question.

From a human’s perspective, he knew that he should not develop feelings for a non-human. However, when he observed the alien chat group that he had inexplicably joined previously, he could tell that they went through the same line of thought as humans when the aliens were chatting.

They were all carbon-based creatures, it wasn’t impossible for them to become friends.

Anna kept staring at George’s bright eyes. She was waiting for his answer as if it was very important to her.

After George confirmed his thoughts, he immediately gave Anna a signal to indicate the dangerous situation behind him.

That was because a few more agents had come down from the armored transport vehicle.

The agents were rich with combat experience. They did not rush to George’s position as soon as they got out of the vehicle, instead, they immediately spread out.

They were planning on blocking Anna’s escape route from the outside.

Then, George’s warning to Anna about the danger began to take effect. Anna immediately understood his kind hint.

In the next instant, a sudden change happened again.

Anna’s upper body bent, and with her hands on the ground, she escaped in a random direction at an extremely fast speed.

Because it had happened too suddenly, the police who had been locking on to her with a pistol still reacted more than a second slower before pulling the trigger.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

The bullets whistled out, but they all landed on Anna’s previous positions.

“Damn it, this monster is too fast!”

At this moment, Buck in addition to three of the agents who had caught up began to chase after Anna.

“Buck, don’t hurt her. We want her alive. We can study her!”

George deliberately revealed his interest in Anna’s non-human body to hide the uneasiness in his heart.

Not long after, the four secret service agents disappeared from the street corner in front of them.

After the policeman missed his shots, he did not follow after the four agents to continue chasing after Anna. Instead, he came to George’s side.

In his understanding, George was definitely a member of a national secret organization, thus the policeman’s attitude was very humble.

“Sir, do you need me to escort you away?” As he spoke, the police pointed at the police car that was parked not far away.

It was a given George did not want to see the police stay here, but he had to find a good reason for the police to leave.

“Officer, we don’t wish for many to know about what we are doing,” George paused after he said this and observed that the police officer was already in his middle age.

“This is a dangerous incident. I believe your family still needs you!”

The last sentence that he said had an effect. The policeman looked hesitant. He valued his family very much. In addition, he had seen the speed of the monster earlier.

In the end, the policeman no longer hesitated. Facing George, he raised his arm and gave a standard salute. Then, he turned around and left the scene.

Seeing the police leave, George let out a breath of relief. If the police had refused to leave, there was nothing he could do.

All this would inevitably attract more police and they would seal off this area. At that time, if George wanted to enter this place alone, it would be a little troublesome.

George wanted to be alone for a reason. Before Anna had escaped, she had inserted something into the ground when her palm came into contact with the ground. Her actions didn’t escape George’s eyes.

After waiting for a few more minutes, George saw that there were no suspicious people in his field of vision. Then only did he walk to the place where Anna had placed the item.

George knelt on one knee and used his hand to gently dig through the soft soil, revealing an item that looked like a bank card.

This was something that Anna had specifically left for him. He wondered what it meant.

The style of the card was a little old. From its appearance, he could roughly tell that such a card with an old-fashioned chip would only have been around a few decades ago.

That was because back then, there were chip telephone booths everywhere.

Yes, that’s right, what Anna left for George was an old-fashioned phone card.

On the back of the phone card, there was an unfamiliar number written with a ballpoint pen.

“Could it be that she wants me to call this number?”

Right now, George’s mind was filled with a lot of questions.

To think that Anna, who was in the same school as him, was non-human.

This was enough to overturn his previous understanding.

“If Anna isn’t human, then what is she? An alien?”

George associated Anna with the aliens in the chat group.

He suddenly realized that he had left his phone at home for a whole day. He wondered what had been said in the aliens’ chat group.

“I should go home first!”
