After turning into a rare female, she refused the bosses' exclusive favor

"Miss, I'll take you to a safe place first."

After contacting the headquarters, as Pushik's temporary guardian, Seth had to prioritize protecting the female's safety.

But things often go against one's wishes. Suddenly, the mall's broadcast sounded -

"Hey! Can you hear me?"

The voice was not mechanically processed, and it was a bit frivolous. It casually greeted everyone on the radio, "Hello, customers and staff in the mall~"

The mall was filled with people fleeing. The gunshots just now had scared the crowd so much that they all ran towards the exits. There was even a stampede, and some people accidentally fell and never got up again.

Seth knew that in such situations, there were often more casualties caused by panic than in terrorist attacks.

So he protected Pushik tightly and tried to get her out of the danger zone.

"Everyone, stop running around and listen to me carefully! We have blocked all the major exits of the mall. If you go in, you will die~"

Before the two reached the exit, they heard a few "bangs" followed by people screaming.

Looking at the crowd covered in blood and running back, Seth's expression became nervous.

His intuition from years of combat told him that this was not a simple robbery but a terrorist attack.

"Oh my~ It looks like some of my disobedient friends are trying to escape!"

The man's joking voice was heard on the radio again. He must have seen the scene from the surveillance camera.

"Friends who are still alive, please gather in the mall lobby. If you run away again, you will be mercilessly shot by our people."

The voice sounded very kind, but every word in it was chilling.

Sirens sounded outside the mall. It seemed that the rescue team had arrived at the scene and were just waiting to rescue the trapped hostages.

What Seth has to do now is to cooperate with the rescue team to ensure the safety of the hostages in the mall and arrest this criminal gang.

But what made him feel embarrassed was what should Pu Xike do? As a temporary guardian, his first priority was to protect the females.

For a moment, Seth was in a dilemma.

"Hey! Why don't you leave? Are you looking for death?"

Just as Seth was hesitating, a group of gangsters with machine guns in both hands shouted.

"Miss, you..."

Before Seth could finish his words, Pushik suddenly appeared behind the gang and quickly took care of the gang.

Then, Pushik looked at Seth, "What did you say?"

"No, nothing..." Seth swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

He almost forgot that Pushik is a female who can fight against an S-level orc alone. These few minions are probably not enough for her to stretch her muscles.

"Do you have any plan?" Pushik picked up the equipment dropped by the gangster and threw it to Seth.

These weapons were not light. The other party threw them at him suddenly. Seth reached out to catch them without any preparation. He stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

"I am going to the mall lobby to ensure the safety of the hostages and work with the rescue team to bring these criminals to justice."

Seth told his plan, but Pushik told him some bad news.

"The signal of the entire mall is blocked now. How are you going to get in touch with people outside?"

Seth looked incredulous, "How could that be?"

The man subconsciously turned on the light computer and found that he could not connect to the signal.

However, Seth was curious about how Pushik knew the signal was cut off. He had never seen her turn on her optical computer or other communication equipment.

It was only after being reminded by the "manager" Alaya consciousness that Pushik realized that the signals in the shopping mall were deliberately blocked.

Fortunately, she can connect to the communication signal through her mental power, ignore various realistic factors, and directly contact people outside.

The most important thing at the moment is, of course, the safety of the hostages.

Pushik is not a hero, but she will never sit idly by. Moreover, if she can beat the opponent, she will have to fight hard.

"Come on! Let's work out a detailed battle strategy."

Seth always felt that there was some inexplicable excitement in Pushik's eyes at this moment. Is this the behavior of an ordinary female?

……

Shopping mall lobby.

Pushik controlled the two gangsters and took her and Seth to the hostage-taking area.

Looking at the people squatting on the ground and shivering, Seth gritted his teeth, but could only suppress his anger and wait for the opportunity to catch these terrorists in one fell swoop.

It was unknown how Pushik contacted the rescue team outside. What they had to do now was to avoid any more hostages being killed.

"Hello~ Is everyone here? Those who are playing hide-and-seek, come out quickly! If you are found by our people, we will kill you on the spot~"

Obviously, some of the people who were hiding were discovered and ruthlessly killed.

Pushik saw the gangsters dragging the victim's body towards the hall, leaving a long trail of blood on the ground.

They ruthlessly dumped the bodies of these people in the hall just like throwing away garbage.

Looking at the hill of human bodies, the blood dyed the ground red and gave off a foul stench.

The scene was so horrifying that people could not bear to look at it directly. Some hostages could not help but start vomiting.

"You guys, go squat over there!"

The criminals were holding guns and shouting at the hostages who had just been brought to the hall.

Pushik and Seth squatted on the ground with the hostages, but found an acquaintance in the crowd.

The cashier I met in the beauty section was also squatting in the crowd. He spotted the two of them at a glance and quietly waved, "Sir, Miss, this way!"

Seeing this, the two walked over and squatted.

"What exactly happened?" Seth asked in a low voice.

The cashier explained: "It's the 'Rebels'. They have blocked the entire mall and have gathered all the hostages here."

"The rebels?" Seth couldn't help but frown.

Pushik asked, "What is the resistance?"

Seeing that Pushik was from outer space and didn't know the history of Epirus, Seth briefly explained it.

The so-called rebels, as the name suggests, are irregular troops that resist imperial rule.

They mainly use the banner of "revolution" to demand the overthrow of the empire's rule, but in essence they are a terrorist armed organization that declares war on the empire with extremely cruel means.

"Fifteen years ago, Marshal Tempest led his troops to wipe out the rebels. After that, they disappeared without a trace. I never thought they would make a comeback now."

Seth clenched his fists, his eyes filled with anger.

The teller next to him also echoed, "When I was a child, I experienced a terrorist attack by the rebels. I was still in school at the time, and many students were ruthlessly shot to death by them..."

At this point, the teller choked up, lowered his head, and shuddered all over.

"You don't have to be afraid. I'm from the security team. We have already contacted the outside world and I believe we will be rescued soon." Seth revealed his identity.

The teller was confused and asked, "But the mall's signals are blocked. How did you get in touch with the outside world?"

"This..." Seth glanced at Pushik and then found an excuse to get away with it.

"Because we have emergency call methods, these are all police secrets and we can't reveal too much to the outside world. I hope you can understand."

The teller suddenly understood and nodded vigorously, "I understand."

Looking at the hostages in the hall, Seth was suddenly in trouble. How could he protect everyone present from these terrorists?

Now he is alone and weak, and it is difficult for him to take care of the safety of every hostage by himself.

Faced with such a tense situation, Seth could only pin his hopes on the rescue team outside, hoping that they could sneak into the mall as soon as possible and rescue the hostages.
