"Are you saying an elephant ate five pythons?"
A Police officer was taking a statement from a zookeeper.
"Huh? No, no, no! It was one python that ate five elephants. I saw it with my own eyes."
The zookeeper corrected the Police officer's mistake.
Last night,
he was resting in his dorm when he suddenly heard the elephants trumpeting.
At the time, he was grumbling as he walked,
"They can launch probes to Mars, so why can't anyone make these damned elephants shut up?"
But when he reached the elephant enclosure,
he saw a gigantic python, biting an elephant.
That python was enormous.
The elephants, usually considered massive in people's eyes, were just the right size to be swallowed whole by this python.
The giant python was startled by the flashlight in his hand, and it dropped the elephant, which it hadn't yet swallowed, in front of him.
He was terrified at the time and fled the elephant enclosure screaming.
"That python wasn't like the ones we usually see. It was huge. I don't know how to describe it, but it was incredibly massive.
It had a huge mouth, a really huge one. I saw it bite an elephant, toss it into the air, and swallow it whole.
Its gaze at me was very fierce, just like... just like my ex-wife's gaze at me."
The surrounding Police officers were amused by his words; he seemed to have mental problems.
Ethan Canrick, who had entered the Police station, also heard the zookeeper's account.
He didn't laugh, because he knew the zookeeper wasn't lying; that giant python truly existed.
"Sir, can you tell me what happened?"
Ethan pulled out his press pass, indicating his identity.
The zookeeper again described the giant python to Ethan, how huge it was, and how it had swallowed all five elephants.
According to the zookeeper, the giant python was pitch black, with thick scales on its body like armor.
Its two eyes were larger than basketballs, and its dark red irises emitted an eerie glow. Its slit pupils sent shivers down one's spine.
Its sound wasn't the usual hiss of a snake; its sound was enormous, like the roar of an engine.
And it also had a mouth full of sharp teeth, each at least a person's height, looking very terrifying.
After the interview, the zookeeper was escorted by the Police to an ambulance and taken away.
Ethan saw clearly that it was a St. George Hospital ambulance; this guy had been taken for a mental patient by the Police.
Ethan walked further into the Police station; he needed to find someone to get detailed information about Sarah.
"Wow, big reporter Ethan Canrick, I often watch your show at the Police station. Any big news lately?
Oh! That mentally ill zookeeper who was just taken away is a good news story."
A Black Police officer saw Ethan and kept teasing him.
"Hello, officer, I'd like to know about the incident where one person beat up three football players. That's a good news story."
Looking at the Police officer who was clearly showing off, Ethan asked.
One against three? And three football players?
This Police officer knew very well; this incident was a hot topic in the Police station today.
Those three unlucky guys had arms as thick as his calves, yet they were knocked down by a seemingly delicate girl.
Although the girl named Sarah vehemently denied it, saying an old man did it.
An old man?
Don't be kidding.
How strong could a scrawny old man be? It would be more believable if she said she did it herself.
"You know what? She's a formidable girl.
Those three robber athletes were stronger than the last, their arms as thick as my calves."
The Police officer patted his calf and struck a bodybuilding pose.
"They were really strong, but she beat them so easily."
Mimicking moves learned from TV, the Police officer gestured.
The Black Police officer talked a lot of nonsense, and Ethan couldn't find any useful information.
"Can you tell me that girl's detailed address?"
Ethan wanted to find Sarah quickly.
And this Police officer was really too talkative; his endless chatter gave him a headache.
The Black Police officer became serious and said sternly:
"I'm sorry, we have to protect taxpayers' privacy. I cannot give you her detailed address."
A disappointed Ethan left the Police station, having wasted so much time and still achieving nothing.
The next day,
at the busy news agency,
Ethan was still searching for information about Sarah.
With Sarah's photo for comparison, Ethan quickly found her information.
Ring, ring, ring~
The phone next to him rang.
"Hello, I'm Ethan Canrick. Do you have any urgent news to expose?"
A female voice, sounding somewhat elderly, came from the other end of the line.
"Oh, last night my neighbor was attacked by a monster, at 546 Eiffel Avenue."
Ethan paused; this location was Sarah's home address.
"Let's go, Bruce, a breaking news story!"
Fat Bruce hoisted his camera and drove to the scene.
The collapsed house was cordoned off by the Police, and many people stood outside, vehemently discussing what had attacked the place.
A woman was explaining the situation to two Police officers.
Last night,
she was lying on a lounge chair by the window, enjoying the night view outside.
Suddenly, she heard a considerable commotion from her neighbor's house. She knew her two neighbors were usually quiet and wouldn't make such a noise.
Curious, she looked through the window and saw a giant python, wrapped around her neighbor's house, looking inside the room.
The neighbor and her boyfriend inside the room came out to investigate, and as a result, they were both snatched by the giant python.
However, the giant python didn't eat the two of them.
After biting them to death, it only held them for a while before tossing them into the swimming pool.
Ethan took Bruce inside the cordon. He lifted the white sheet covering a stretcher to check.
It wasn't Sarah, but a young woman; the other one should be her friend.
"That man isn't my neighbor. Two girls live here, and he's this girl's boyfriend.
The other girl who lives here is named Sarah. She seems to be an orphan with no relatives. She's been sick recently and was sent to the hospital."
Sarah? Perhaps this person knows where Sarah is.
Ethan asked the woman, "Which hospital?"
"St. George Hospital."
The woman answered subconsciously.
Ethan, having received the information, was a little excited.
He was about to meet Sarah, the one he was destined to protect.
"Hey! Don't disturb our work."
The Police officer who was taking notes was not pleased; every time something happened, these reporters would show up.
After saying thanks, he pulled Bruce, who was still filming, back to the car.
"Where are you going? Are you not getting the news here? This is big news; otherwise, the news editor will fire us."
Bruce lowered the camera from his shoulder.
He was a bit puzzled; they hadn't even interviewed yet, where were they going?
"To St. George Hospital; Sarah is there."
Sarah, again Sarah.
Does the boss's story need to be taken seriously? How can people reincarnate?
If there really was a giant python that could destroy the World, the World would have been destroyed long ago. Would there still be a need to snatch those Dragon Balls?
What's even more ridiculous is that the Dragon Balls aren't inside a dragon, but inside a person.
Ethan must be crazy to believe such a ridiculous story.
Looking at Ethan's determined eyes, he said helplessly, "Alright, to St. George Hospital, to find that Sarah, and while we're at it, get your head checked."
He floored the accelerator and headed straight for St. George.
"First things first, you'd better hurry. Maybe we can still catch the news filming.
You don't care, but I want to keep my job."
In the underground parking lot of St. George Hospital,
Bruce glared at Ethan, threatening him.
Ethan didn't mind, because he knew Bruce's character; he would never abandon him.
