Himala's place of birth is unknown, her true face is unknown, and her abilities are unknown. She only knows that she often appears on different planets and collects various things without the consent of her owner. As long as she likes it, she will use a certain
There was no way to take it away, so he was called the Space Phantom Thief.
The word 'stealer' points out its occupation, and the word 'strange' means that most of the things it steals are of little value and are usually left there with basically no one paying attention to them. As a result, many things were stolen by Himala.
After a long time, the owner of the item suddenly realized that his item was missing.
Human beings can immediately find out that their things are missing, thanks to the fact that Himala steals all large items. If it were replaced by small items, it would probably be like many planets, until Himara has gone away.
, only to find that the thing was gone. Even if the identity of the thief was found out, it would be of no avail.
The reason why Himala, the most unpopular thief in the universe, is still active today is not because of its strength or its ability to escape, but because the value of its theft is quite low.
Not to mention other planets, let’s just talk about the lost things on the earth. Apart from that small town, they are just a bunch of old buildings and some earth and rocks. To be honest, if it weren’t for the safety of hundreds of humans, TPC would never do it.
With so much effort in investigating, the best they can do is send an investigation team to conduct a pretentious investigation and wait for time for the people to forget about this matter.
It's like if something is lost at home. If it's a huge sum of money, it will be chased forever. But if it's just the floor mat at the door that's lost, then you'll just mutter a few words, let alone call the police, and you won't even look for it.
Ninety percent of the items Himala stole during his career were like this. In the eyes of the owner of the item, it was probably just a floor mat that had been used for a long time. No one would be interested in losing an old floor mat.
, and the high-profile global manhunt could only be cured by a few words, so Himala has only been active to this day.
After looking through the information obtained by the people from Xia Prei, even Dagu couldn't help but complain: "There are actually such people from space."
"Maybe the universe is too big."
Chiba Makoto was not surprised. As big as the birds are, they can be found in any forest. As the universe is big, naturally, there are people from all over the universe.
"Is Himara really hiding here?" Feiniao Xin looked at the old building in front of him, with its mottled exterior walls, rusty railings, missing pieces of brick walls, and messy pulls.
The electric wires are all in a dilapidated building that has been in disrepair for a long time. Do people from the universe live here?
"Most likely yes."
"It's not a scam, right?"
"Probably not."
"Oh, why?"
"Because..." Chiba Cheng drawled, lowered his head, checked the gun in his hand, and said unhurriedly: "Everyone hates thieves, even if it is just a small theft, they are despised by others, which makes people
Bored."
"...That's true!!!"
While chatting, Dagu also completed an infrared scan of the building and found that there was a strong heat source in an illegally built cabin in the building. It was obvious that there were instruments and equipment running in it.
"This is it," Qianye Cheng raised his thumb, pushed open the safety lock, and said, "Asuka and I will go up, and Dagu and Fudo will go to the roof of the opposite building."
"clear!"
The people in casual clothes whispered, put their right hands into their pockets, held the Brest guns, divided into two teams, and ran towards their respective targets.
Kick! Kick! Kick!
Although Asuka Shin had tried to tread as lightly as possible, this building was too old. The stairs were narrow and the floors were low, so the echo of the footsteps was extremely loud. There was no possibility of silencing the footsteps. Asuka Shin complained:
"I should have known I had a rope gun."
"Why don't you just surrender?"
"Well, that's a way."
"Stop hiding, just rush up. People have probably discovered us a long time ago." Qianye Cheng didn't hide it at all. He rushed up in big strides. Because he was too fast, Asuka was chasing after him.
, unable to slow down.
"Hey, have you discovered us? When did it happen? Didn't we disguise ourselves well?"
Asuka Shin was shocked and surprised. After so long, he has adapted to the style of the Space Adventure Team. Most of the time, he does not wear uniforms, and even the cars he drives are no different from the cars on the street.
After all, they were dealing with people from the universe, so Ula-Ula rushed over with her siren, and before they even got there, the people from the universe heard it and ran away.
This time was no exception. As usual, he was dressed in casual clothes and driving normally. How could he be discovered after climbing three floors?
"Because..." Qianye Cheng raised his finger and pointed at the corner of the ceiling, asking Asuka Shin to look over. At a glance, he discovered that there was an old camera on the peeling and chipped ceiling.
"...The people in space still install cameras???"
Feiniao was incredulous. This is a cosmic person. Shouldn't it be high-tech and new equipment? How can it use surveillance probes like humans? It's still such an old surveillance probe. Not to mention TPC, even large luxury shopping malls don't use this kind.
The old-fashioned camera has long been replaced by a high-end, elegant, and high-end smart camera, but the cosmonauts actually installed such an old-fashioned probe in their lair.
This is too retro.
When Feiniao was vomiting in confidence, they, who were very agile, rushed to the top floor and saw a small shack built with wooden boards and tarpaulin at a glance.
It's only one and a half meters tall, and it's a little bigger than a car. It probably doesn't have much room for a person to lie down.
"Just...this?"
Asuka Shin feels that today is the day to break the stereotype. Who said that people in the universe are all crazy and cool? Isn't the one in front of me very down-to-earth?
Once this shack was built, the image of a refugee was established.
"Let's go!" Chiba Cheng walked over immediately, raised his hand to open the thick curtain, then bent down and got in.
Asuka Shin followed closely behind, bent down and got in, then immediately raised his gun to aim, and then... his eyes widened in shock.
Because what he saw was not a cramped little dark room, but a sky and earth so vast that he couldn't even see the edges at a glance.
There were white clouds floating in the sky, stretching into mountains. The setting sun, which was about to set on the horizon, reflected the red color with a hint of golden outline. It immediately attracted Asuka Shin's eyes. This beautiful scenery
The sunset glow is really rare.
On the ground, there are houses of different heights and different shapes. There are flowers and plants in front of and behind the houses, and there are paths. It looks like a quiet and peaceful town. Outside, there are large areas.
The fields and a pond sparkled under the setting sun, like silver clouds falling from the sky.
"It's so beautiful."
Asukaxin murmured to himself and couldn't help but praise him.
"Yes, this is the most beautiful sunset."
The unfamiliar voice reached Asuka Xin's ears, causing him to suddenly wake up. He immediately turned around and saw a blue-skinned cosmonaut wearing a black cloak, standing by the guardrail, with his eyes glowing red.
, staring into the distance.
"Spaceman!"
Asuka Shin immediately turned the Brest gun around, aimed at this acceptable-looking cosmonaut, and shouted: "Ximara, you are under arrest."
However, Himala didn't look back, just admiring the scenery and sighing, saying: "What a wonderful sunset, it is rare even on earth. I have been looking for it for so long and waited for so long to see it.
I finally waited for this most beautiful moment and saved it, keeping it in this moment forever."
"...Why don't you use a camera?" Chiba Cheng has been observing this place since he came in.
The sunset is beautiful and the scenery is beautiful, but it is fixed.
The clouds did not move with the wind, and the sunset no longer set. Even the people on the street stood motionless, just like the models in the store, but they were vivid and vivid, reflected red by the sunset on the horizon.
It was bright, as if bathing in blood, which made people feel a strong sense of strangeness, and could not help but feel a little frightened.
"How can photos compare with this?" Himala became excited when she mentioned this, her voice rose a lot, and she clenched her fists and shouted: "Such a beautiful scenery can only be felt by seeing it with one's own eyes."
Beauty, no photo or video can show one percent, no, one ten thousandth of it at this moment."
"Uh... Actually, our earth is also developing VR and already has mature virtual reality. In the universe, this technology should be more mature."
"Evil ways, these are all heresies," Unexpectedly, Himala became even more excited, and began to hammer the railing with both hands, shouting loudly: "No matter how realistic it is, it is still fake, no matter how good the computer is, it is a simulation, only real beauty
Only then can it bring shock to people’s soul.”
"You... are so old-fashioned, haha." Qianye Cheng's mouth twitched a little, why is this cosmic person still doing this "ancestral law is immutable" thing.
Human beings are immersed in virtual reality, praising the magic of technology and intoxicating the reality of cyber beauty. As a result, this cosmonaut from an alien planet with more advanced technology is conservative and shouts that "real scenes are more real".
only...
"So you think this scene is the most realistic?"
Chiba Makoto raised his hand and pointed at the immobile crowd on the street below, and said: "Real scenery does not freeze in one place and remains motionless. The reason why the beautiful scenery is shocking is that it is rare and short-lived.
Have you seen the sunrise?
In the dark night, I walked up the mountain step by step through the dew. Then, I shrank in the cold wind on the top of the mountain and waited anxiously. When the sky turned white, I raised my mobile phone, widened my eyes, and held my breath.
He didn't even dare to breathe loudly for fear of disturbing the sun.
Until the golden sun jumped up from the horizon, and a burst of cheers broke away all the fatigue of the night. There was only a heart full of joy and a spontaneous sense of satisfaction, until I went down the mountain and even returned home.
Reminisce about the beauty of the rising sun.
Since then, even though a long time has passed, I may have forgotten who I climbed the mountain with, or how tired I was along the way, or even what the rising sun looked like, but I can still recall that day.
The joy and cheers and deep sense of satisfaction.
This is the meaning of beautiful scenery!”
After listening to Qianye Cheng's words, Himala was silent for a long time before speaking: "What's the point of this? If you forget it, doesn't it mean you didn't see it?"
"It is meaningful just because you have forgotten it," Chiba Cheng leaned on the railing, looking at the setting sun in the distance and the sky full of sunset, and said: "If you always remember it, then the meaning of aftertaste is lost; if you always remember it,
, then I will no longer be interested in visiting again; if I always remember it, I won’t want to go to other places.”
Asuka Shin, who had always been nervously aiming his gun, listened to Qianye Cheng's words and nodded in agreement.
It's like eating a great meal. If you miss this taste all the time, everything else you eat will taste just like wax. You won't want to look for other foods, and you won't be able to taste a variety of dishes.
Mode.
Just like Himala, it is obsessed with the sunset at this moment, and is even crazy enough to preserve the sunset at this moment. Then it will not see other sunsets, and it will not be able to see the sunsets at other times and other places.
.
Himara stole the sunset at this moment, but in turn, the sunset at this moment also trapped Himara.
"Let go, Himara," Qianye Cheng turned to Himara and said, "You said the virtual reality is fake, but is it true?
The real sunset will never stop. The real scenery is always changing. You said that photos are not as good as real scenes, but what is the difference between frozen scenery and photos? They are all dead things."
Asuka glanced around with his peripheral vision. It was indeed true. The scenery was all frozen. It was no exaggeration to say that it was a 360-degree photo.
As a result, Asuka Shin couldn't help but said: "Yes, this is just a big photo of yours, why not take a video and play it in a loop."
"Then I will cut this section out of time and let this beautiful scenery live forever." Himala said through gritted teeth.
"Uh, that's not what I meant." Asuka Xin was shocked and quickly waved his hands, trying to withdraw what he just said casually.
"Oh, the looped playback is alive. Is that any different from the continuous photos?"
The successive denials made Himara, who was obsessed with the beautiful scenery, explode and shouted hoarsely: "Dead things, it's impossible. This is the most beautiful scenery, the most beautiful sunset. Look, how beautiful it is, look,
It’s so intoxicating.”
Asukaxin tilted his head and whispered to Chiba Cheng: "Well, Captain, it seems that you said it broke its defense."
"I'm just telling a fact."
While the two were discussing, Himala turned around and yelled at them: "Those who don't know how to appreciate, get out of here."
As he spoke, Himara's red eyes became brighter, causing Qianye Cheng and Asuka Shin to immediately dodge aside.
As soon as the two of them left the spot, Himala's eyes as bright as incandescent lamps shot out two red laser lines, which hit the ground with a loud bang and exploded with fierce sparks.
Amidst the loud noise and sparks, the reinforced concrete floor was blasted out with a deep pit as big as a washbasin, and it also penetrated the floor that was ten to twenty centimeters thick, exposing the lower layer, which was also dark.
Hugely, I could barely see the outlines of some objects.
