Chapter 158 Surveillance
Watching these four people who seemed a little abnormal being assigned tasks, and then being taken away by the mechanical monk.
Charlotte used sign language to sign to the frog-eyed mechanical woman, saying, "There's something wrong with them. I'm applying for night patrol tonight. I have to keep an eye on them."
"Something's wrong? Oh, I almost forgot you're a psychic. You can always sense some strange things. Well, since you've applied to patrol and monitor them tonight, then go ahead. I'll agree to your request. Remember to hand over your post to Fox properly. There can't be any mistakes." The frog-eyed mechanical woman said with a smile.
Several people who were taken away but had not yet gone far paused at the same time, and soon returned to normal. No one noticed this brief abnormality.
At night, Charlotte followed the prescribed patrol route and walked around the searchlight road. After that, he changed his method and hid in a place where the light could not reach, secretly observing the four new unidentified persons.
They lived in a four-person room, a metal house similar to a container. The lights had been turned off long ago and the room was very quiet, with no unusual sounds.
This made Charlotte feel even more suspicious. This was too easy-going.
In addition to completing his patrol mission, he increased the frequency of his surveillance of them.
However, after a few days, no concrete evidence was found. On the contrary, these four people were law-abiding, hardworking, and more diligent than others. This made many people like these newcomers.
Over the past few days, even though Charlotte had begun to cultivate, the intense surveillance had left him somewhat exhausted, with dark circles under his eyes. Having gained nothing, he began to doubt whether he had been mistaken. Seeing how these four men had endured such hardships, he began to feel somewhat guilty.
So, Charlotte gestured to the frog-eyed mechanical woman and said, "Maybe I made a wrong judgment, monk. I shouldn't have doubted them."
"Your suspicion is correct. Compared to ordinary people, they are a little too hardworking. But even you didn't notice anything unusual. I can only say that there are many strange things in the world." The frog-eyed mechanical woman looked at the four people and said, "You can go back to your original position first. I will let Fox return to his original position."
The four suspected people paused again, their eyes crossed each other obscurely, but did not attract anyone's attention.
After a long day and night of work, Charlotte couldn't help but lament the way they exploited people, treating them as if they were not human. He felt the various sensations of difference coming from him, and he had used these sensations to cultivate. This was also the method of stillness taught to him by the mecha master, a method that the master had approved of. If he didn't know a little about cultivation, he wouldn't have stayed here at all and would have left with the master long ago.
He jumped onto the roof, and with the help of the silence from the universe, his soul refined the sense of difference that had accumulated in his body.
The breeze blows, the night is quiet, and the universe has its own unique quietness. Compared with the noise of some changes, it seems more inclusive and mysterious.
He let out a long breath and took the Fire Kirin on his back in his hand. The energy of his body and mind slowly rhythmically moved with it. Flames emerged from the Fire Kirin's eyes and slowly floated in the air. The glowing lava patterns on the gun rhythmically moved as if it was breathing, and he could also feel its pleasure from this rhythm.
Charlotte kept sighing that the mecha boss's craftsmanship was really extraordinary, as if the weapon was tailor-made for him. He could clearly feel that there was a faint consciousness in this weapon that was progressing with him, just like a child.
Charlotte has also maintained some firearms. These firearms also have some faint consciousness, which the Mechanicus calls mechanical souls.
At first he also thought these things were novel, but after receiving the Fire Kirin from the Mecha Boss, he felt that they were all his younger brothers.
After completing his training goals, Charlotte planned to return, placing his now-dark weapon back on his back. Ever since this little creature, named Fire Kirin, had recognized its master, it had surprisingly learned to conceal its transformations and enter a dormant state. This made Charlotte sigh in admiration. At such a young age, he understood the power of divine objects to conceal themselves; he was sure to become a god in the future.
Feeling the wheat fragrance brought by the breeze, it reminded him of the time when he first met those four people. There seemed to be some unusual movement in the dense corn stalks, but he didn't notice anything at that time.
It seemed that he had not visited these places, but he was no longer on patrol, and he was unwilling to not go and take a look.
Whatever! Charlotte sighed. His damn pride was determined to prove he was right. He couldn't help but follow his instincts and headed in the direction where he had found the four people.
The night was like a curtain, and under the searchlights of the Mechanical Church, a few faint rays of light illuminated the towering stalks in the cornfield. A slight rustling sound broke the quiet of the night. As the wind blew, the sound became clearer and clearer, as if someone was moving quickly through the cornfield.
Several dark shadows moved quickly in the cornfield, their movements agile as if they had merged into the darkness.
With a nimble body and agile movements, it moved freely among the corn stalks without making any unnecessary noise.
These were bizarre-looking creatures, led by a beast with four sturdy arms, each thicker than a typical leg. Its skin was a dark gray, covered in thick, hardened scales. Atop its massive head were a pair of blood-red eyes, like flaming rubies, their gaze piercing, as if seeing everything. When its mouth opened, its long, sharp tongue lashed out, revealing two rows of razor-sharp teeth, a chilling sight.
The others look somewhat similar to this four-armed strange creature, except that they only have two arms. Their bodies are similar to humans, and their faces are still ferocious and not like humans, but much softer than the big four-armed monster.
They were approaching the town, and broke in quietly while Charlotte, who was hiding in the dark, had a look of astonishment on his face.
Holding the Fire Qilin tightly, he kept calm and observed what these creatures were trying to do.
He hid them in the darkness and planned to ambush the patrol personnel. The muzzle of Charlotte's Fire Kirin gun was pointed at him silently. He had no distractions about this. He was like a stone among all things, just standing there like that.
Fox was particularly exhausted today. Ever since that guy took over his position, he'd been assigned to the heavy labor of plumbing maintenance, which had worn him out after not doing any hard physical work for a long time. He didn't know what kind of luck that guy had, that Father Greta had given him so many green lights.
Following the route he had walked countless times, Fox completed the patrol mission he had completed countless times.
Just at the edge of the town, in a dark corner that could not be illuminated by any lighting equipment, a black shadow flowed in the darkness.
Fox's attention was instantly attracted and he looked over there. Hmm, there was a beautiful woman!
His eyes became dull and he walked towards the dark shadow step by step.
