my stealth fighter

Chapter 545 Night Walk
It may be because he ate too much meat and added too much seasoning, Jiang Chanji got a little angry at night, and he was used to the original flat bed and ordinary bedding, and suddenly changed to a bedding as soft as feathers, which was a bit uncomfortable. I am used to it, so after lying down at night, I didn’t fall asleep as quickly as usual. I felt thirsty, turned over and sat up again, and wanted to go to the toilet to get a glass of water.

After sitting up in a daze, he was suddenly startled. He saw a ferocious monster staring at him in the dark room, and he was so frightened that cold sweat broke out all over his body.

He stayed motionless for a second or two, and took a closer look through the faint light coming from outside the curtains. There was no monster at all, but the "big head" he had brought back with Mio before was placed on the table and turned on. It was nothing when the lights were on, but after turning off the lights, he forgot about it, and the black lights misunderstood it. It was all because Leila changed to a new table he was not familiar with, and thought it was a four-legged monster squatting there.

I couldn't fall asleep at first, but now I'm more awake from fright, and more thirsty.

He turned on the light, changed the direction of the "big head", and turned the side with suspected eye holes, nostrils and mouth towards the wall, so that it should not be frightened by it anymore.

At this moment, Squid Whiskers suddenly reacted, not a particularly high-level reaction, but clearly pointed out the window.

Jiang Chanji's heart tightened, and he stared at the window with the curtains drawn, wondering who would be outside?
He didn't hear any sound at all. Of course, it's not late at night, and there are often vehicles or late pedestrians passing by outside, but if he can appear quietly outside his window, he can appear outside the window of any room.

Who is it?metropolitan?Teacher Li?

He subconsciously thought of these two people, but soon he knew that he was wrong, because he saw the faint light outside the window move, and then a figure composed of faint light "floated" into him like a ghost The room, of course, did not open the window.

"Mi..." He wanted to open his mouth to speak in surprise, but Michelle raised her hand to make a silent gesture.

Michelle's figure is too cramped in this room the size of a pigeon cage, like a phoenix falling into a hen's coop. She has to bow her head and fold her six wings to barely accommodate her, and Jiang Chanji can only retreat to the door.

He stared at her blankly, even though she didn't need to sleep, he did. He came here in the middle of the night to chat?

She shook the fingers of her left hand twice quickly, and a line of simple handwriting appeared in his vision.

[Catherine goes out. 】

Ok?
He hadn't fully recovered from the previous shock, so he whispered, "Going out...to take a shower?"

The long-term life without relying on mobile phones allows him to estimate the time more accurately. Now it is about ten o'clock at night, and the public bathhouse will close for half an hour. At this time, the women's bathhouse is almost empty. Good time to shower - don't ask him why he knows so well.

However, Catherine usually went to take a bath with her sister, as if she never went alone.

Michelle wrote again: [Take a taxi. 】

"Huh? What are you going to do?" he asked.

She shook her head.

Only then did he react slowly, "You mean, what did the dean send her to do?"

[As far as I know, no. 】

"Then... is there anything Arabella needs to buy?"

[I've been with Arabella before going to bed. 】

"Is that so... Are you worried about Catherine's safety?"

This time Michelle neither nodded nor shook her head, nor did she write. She also seemed confused.

It stands to reason that Catherine is not a flower raised in a greenhouse. She often runs around with the nuns and sisters to fight against the extraordinary who are identified as demons. She should be considered well-informed. There shouldn't be any danger in this city. Even if you go out late at night and meet vagrants or homeless people, you won't be molested or anything like that.

Michelle is also very aware of this, but Catherine went out late at night alone without telling the dean and Arabella, which is not normal for a pure nun.

Michelle was not sure whether to tell the dean about this matter, and she had no way to "talk" to the dean unless she confessed that she learned to write in her eyes first.

Arabella couldn't see what she wrote, and she couldn't tell Arabella that she was really worried about Catherine, so she could only come to Jiang Chanji, who she was most familiar with among these people, and ask him to help him with an idea.

Time was running short and she didn't have time to tell him more. In fact, Catherine left quite suddenly and secretly.

When the lights in all the rooms on the third floor were turned off, Mi Ao stood on the top of the building and looked at the lights of thousands of houses. The night scene of this city was completely different from the boring Ararat Mountain. She found it very novel that there were happenings nearby all the time. For example, there were fights in the dark corners of the streets, drunken men clinging to telephone poles to confide their hearts, couples in ordinary houses fighting naked and so on... After about half an hour, she noticed that someone had left the apartment building.

In addition to them on the third floor in the apartment building, there are also some other tenants on the two floors below. It is not uncommon to go out in the middle of the night. It may be for work or for supper. At first Michelle thought that she was going out She is an ordinary tenant, but in the two days since she moved here with the dean, she has already carried out three-dimensional modeling of every tenant in the apartment building by means of beam scanning, and she has mastered every person While the person leaving the apartment building did not appear to be wearing a nun's attire, the only person who matched her height and build was Catherine.

After seeing that figure leave the apartment building, she raised her hand to stop a taxi, got into the car and left, without turning sideways or turning her head, as if to prevent her on the roof from finding out.

At this time, she was not 100% sure that it was Catherine, so she left the roof and sneaked into Catherine's room, and saw Catherine's quilt was bulging, as if someone was sleeping in the quilt, but it was too tightly covered.

Michelle put her hand into the quilt. Most of the quilt was empty, and some paper balls and clothes were stuffed in. Someone deliberately pretended to be sleeping.

She had never encountered such a situation before, and she didn't know how to deal with it. It happened that the light in Jiang Chanji's room was on, so she asked him to discuss it, but she didn't have time to elaborate on these details.

[She didn't say anything to you? ] she wrote.

"No."

After Jiang Chanji returned to the apartment, he briefly told Catherine what happened today, and complained about the "big head" that Mio picked up, after which Catherine left his room without saying anything special.

"Which direction is her car going? What's the license plate number? I'll follow to see."

Since Mi Xue came to him on purpose, he couldn't refuse the door, let alone refuse. Anyway, he was so scared that he couldn't sleep for a while, so he might as well go out for a walk.

This matter may be related to Catherine's personal privacy, and it is not appropriate to speak up until the situation is clarified, so it is not possible to wake others up.

Michelle pointed in one direction and wrote down the license plate number she "saw".

[Do you need me to go with you? ] she asked.

"No, you stay here to protect everyone." He waved his hand, unless an enemy of Kali's level appears in this city, dispatching Michelle is like killing chickens with a guillotine.

Michelle nodded gratefully and floated out of the window to give him space.

In order to avoid waking Arabella up, he quietly opened the window, jumped between the roofs, and ran in the direction Michelle pointed, but he couldn't run blindly, and often stayed on the edge of the roof, looking for the corresponding taxi below.

Fortunately, Michelle came to him in time, and he found the taxi after only two or three intersections, but it was impossible to see from the roof whether it was Catherine sitting in the back seat, and he could only be sure if it was Catherine. As far as Catherine is concerned, she must not be carrying a cross sword, which means she is not going to fight.

While chasing him, he thought wildly in his mind, is this the first time Catherine has gone out in the middle of the night?When Michelle was away, he wasn't sure whether Catherine had gone out at night. What was she going out for today?
Before the Kali incident, Catherine had never been to the east, so it was impossible for her to visit relatives and friends. She didn't bring a cross sword or go to fight. She went out so secretly. Could it be that she has some... strange habit?

His thinking is even more unconstrained - he is a nun who advocates purity during the day, and he is replaced by another person at night? Emmmm... This character seems to be a bit interesting.

No, no, no matter how you put it, it’s not possible, otherwise you can’t hide it from Arabella. Besides, Catherine still stays in the monastery most of the time, and she will walk with other nuns when she leaves the monastery. There is no chance for her to develop strange habits. .

Taxis occasionally turn to avoid inconvenient road sections, but the direction of travel will always turn back to the north.

Once in the middle, the taxi stopped next to a 24-hour supermarket, and Jiang Chanji saw clearly that it was indeed Catherine who got out of the car. She changed into casual clothes, obviously not wanting to attract attention.

She entered the supermarket, and within a few minutes came out with a backpack, which contained things, but he didn't know what it was. She had a clear shopping goal, so she went in and out so quickly.

The taxi continued to drive out of the city, and there were few buildings in front of it.

Jiang Chanji looked up, and in the hazy night, there was a huge black shadow crouching. It was Beishan, where incidents had happened many times, and the taxi had no intention of turning any further.

Catherine is going to Beishan?
There are many luxury houses and villas in Beishan, but after frequent accidents in the past year, some rich people have moved away, so they are depressed.

Jiang Chanji became more and more confused. Even if Catherine went out secretly to go to a bar, he could understand to some extent, but why did she come to this kind of place?Playing on the grave or robbing the house?

The taxi drove up the mountain. Jiang Chanji was already very familiar with this winding road, so he took a shortcut and ran to the middle of the mountain, and found a place with a good view to observe the location of the headlights.

?

The light of the car does not move, which means that the taxi has stopped, but the position where the light stops... Isn't that the entrance of Mei Yibai's mansion?
Even in the dark night, Jiang Chanji was still very sure that he could see the outline of a tall and dark building without any lights on. That was the former residence of Mei Yibai, which had become a deserted house, not far from where he was standing. not far.

A while ago, they brought Rafa here to test Rafa's state.

He didn't think about it for the time being, and seized the time to move over there, while trying not to step on the branches and make a sound.

After a while, he could already see the taxi from a distance, and he hid behind a tree to observe.

The expression of the taxi driver was also very flustered. He picked up this foreign female passenger at night and heard her say that he was going to Beishan. Such a beautiful foreign girl doesn't seem like a bad person. Under the temptation of the high fare, she still drove here with confidence. What made him even more disturbed was that she asked him to park the car in this gloomy building. At the gate of the abandoned house, and getting off the car, now he doubts whether she is a human or a foreign female ghost...

Catherine paid the fare, got out of the car with her backpack on, and didn't ask the driver to wait for her. The driver stepped on the gas pedal and ran away as if he had been pardoned.

After the taxi left, she looked up at the abandoned house. To Jiang Chanji's surprise, she didn't go in, but went around the abandoned house and continued walking up the mountain.

Jiang Chanji followed her quietly.

Catherine took out a camping lamp from her backpack and lit it. She should have bought it from a supermarket. She walked up while observing the surrounding terrain, as if she was looking for something specific.

Not long after, the light from the camping lantern was reflected by some kind of metallic object.

Jiang Chanji was taken aback for a moment, he recognized what it was, it was a small substation, the kind that converts UHV into common mains voltage, surrounded by a circle of iron fences, where he rescued Frigga who was dying of poisoning , and watched Mei Yibai die here.

Regarding Mei Yibai’s matter, because of the direct relationship with Kali, Jiang Chanji and the others have discussed it in detail with Catherine, especially recently he and Catherine are worried that transplanting Lilith’s eyes to Arabella will cause Arabella to become a vampire, Lu Wei Jing pointed out that the body died and the Tao disappeared, and asked him to recall the process of Mei Yibai's death, and told him and Catherine that the ability of Mei Yibai and Lilith would not exist after death, so at that time he took Mei Yibai's The death process was told to Catherine in more detail to dispel Catherine's doubts.

Catherine seemed to have found a signpost, and walked over quickly, identified the direction next to the substation, hung the camping light near the ground, and carefully searched for something on the ground.

After a while, she stopped and stared at a ground. Due to the distance, Jiang Chanji couldn't see any difference between that ground and the surrounding ground.

She put down the camping light, took out a ... folded engineering shovel from her backpack, rolled up her sleeves, put on work gloves, tied her hair up with a rubber band to facilitate working, and then dug into the soil with a shovel.

Good guy, Jiang Chanji was speechless secretly, the engineer shovel was used, is she here to rob the tomb?But there is no tomb here at all, it used to be a coal mountain!
