"Click!"
Just the sound of the weapon being loaded and the safety being closed suddenly resounded throughout the empty temple.
The rifles or shotguns in the hands of the eight security guards were aimed at the woman in front of the statue.
The security guard standing at the exit, holding a gun in his right hand and pressing the communication device on his shoulder with his left hand, quickly reported to the military base in Athens:
"Parthenon has an abnormal phenomenon. Please notify other colleagues to evacuate surrounding tourists as soon as possible and apply for UBCS support."
"Received, tourists are being evacuated, support is expected to arrive in four minutes."
After receiving the reply from the base, the temple suddenly became silent again.
You can hear the needle drop.
"Miss." At this time, the security guard closest to the woman tried to communicate with her and said:
"Please stay where you are, raise your hands and don't move, otherwise we will take necessary force measures against you."
"Huh?" The woman narrowed her eyes slightly and asked with her hands spread out, "Force measures?"
"Miss! Don't move!" The security guard's index finger trembled and he was about to pull the trigger.
"Ha." The woman chuckled and said, "I hope you don't get so excited."
As she spoke, she changed from her original indifferent tone to a low voice:
"Although what you did is very disrespectful, I don't intend to pursue anything. I will stay here as you wish.
Also, the toys in your hands can't hurt me, if they go off fire..."
The woman looked at the security guard closest to her and said in an angry tone, "I don't mind teaching you what real fighting is."
Hear the words.
The security guards looked at each other.
The atmosphere was not as tense as before, and the muzzle of the gun aimed at the woman was slightly downward.
After all, an abnormal phenomenon that can communicate normally and is willing to cooperate to a certain extent is much better than something that comes up and kills without any reason.
However, the security guards still did not relax their vigilance.
The security guard who reported to the Athens base before contacted again and said:
"The anomaly is willing to cooperate with our actions, and we will monitor it here until UBCS arrives."
"Received."

Location: Military base outside Athens.
The Athens Military Base was originally a large base deployed by Umbrella in Europe. It was once one of the keys to global troop transportation, with nearly 5,000 people stationed there.
But when First Fleet was deployed in the earth's low-Earth orbit and could quickly arrive at the scene, Marine Corps from major bases were arranged on various ships.
Even so, each military base also retains several companies of UBCS to prepare for various emergencies.
The mysterious woman who appeared at Parthenon Temple was deployed by the UBCS company in Athens and escorted back to the Athens base for interrogation at 17:30.
As for William, who was far away on Mars, he quickly returned to the Phantom after receiving a reminder from the system, and also arrived over the Athens base at 17:30 in the East Third District.
The Pelican carrying William, Sparta Blue Team and Alpha flew out from the Phantom and landed at the designated aircraft slot according to the guidance of the ground tower.
The Pelican formation responsible for the escort also flew to the scheduled aircraft landing and slowly landed, unloading the 120 UBCS and the mysterious woman.
In the corridor of the base building.
William, who was wearing a suit, led Sparta, who had already put on Thor's Hammer, and Hunk of Biochemical Power Armor, and the alphas, Command Center, who was heading to the building.
During this period, Serena also reported to William through headphones:
"Boss, through observing the security helmet camera that came into contact with the abnormal phenomenon, I discovered that her body seems to contain extremely strong energy.
I also investigated every surveillance video in Athens and confirmed that she appeared in a residential alley in the Halandri district for the first time today.
Then she used cash to buy tickets from the Acropolis, went straight to Parthenon Temple in the center, and came into contact with our security."
William, with his hands behind his back and a serious face, listened carefully to Serena's report.
Then he asked quietly, "Since she has an appearance similar to that of a human being, have you analyzed her true identity through facial recognition?"
"Boss." Serena replied:
"While in the cabin of the Pelican, a UBCS squad leader asked her to take off her veil to confirm her citizenship.
But the anomaly once said in a warning tone that the time was not yet ripe. If her veil was forcibly removed, she would massacre everyone who saw her true face.
In order to avoid angering the target, the UBCS monitor gave up the request for her to take off her veil."
"Really?" William nodded.
At the same time, he also came to the door of Command Center.
"Shua--"
As the automatic door opened, William led a large number of people into it, standing behind many technicians and hanging screens.
And he said to the supervisor who had been waiting for a long time, "Second Lieutenant, report."
"Yes." The supervisor wearing an officer's uniform saluted William and then said:
"So far, the anomalies have been quite cooperative. Now they have been sent to a standard interrogation room by UBCS. Do you want to send researchers for interrogation?"
"Okay, put the interrogation room surveillance on the main screen."
"Yes."
The following content is a surveillance video of the interrogation of the mysterious woman.
She was seen sitting on the side of the interrogation room against the wall, with a transparent dividing wall in front of her.
Soon after.
A researcher wearing glasses walked into the interrogation room.
There are also four people wearing AAES and one UBCS responsible for researcher safety.
The researcher sat across from her.
The interrogation begins.
Researcher: "Hello, my name is ■■, Miss... (interrupted)"
Woman: "(chuckles) You all seem to like to call me 'Miss', but in fact, my age is measured in thousands."
Researcher: "(pause) Wan? I heard that right."
Woman: "You heard me right. I won't tell you the specific number. After all, a woman's age is a private matter, haha."
Researcher: "(nods) Since I can't call you miss, then at least tell us your name. Is this okay?"
Woman: "Of course. In fact, you humans have given me many names, but I prefer you to call me by my real name, Pallas Athena."
Researcher: "(Slightly surprised) Athena, could it be said that you are the Goddess of War and Wisdom...Athena in myths and legends?"
Woman: "Actually, in addition to war and wisdom, I am also in charge of order and law. Even your first human court was founded by me."
Researcher: "Then madam, I need you to prove that you are the mythical Goddess, otherwise, everyone will think that you are talking nonsense."
Woman: "(Shakes head and smiles) Sorry, I don't want to show my abilities to you mortals, but..."
Speaking of which.
The woman looked at the surveillance camera and said meaningfully, "If it were your boss, it would be a different matter."
