my stealth fighter

Chapter 546 Privacy
In the middle of the night on a barren mountain slope, a camping lantern shines like a candle in the dark night background. The light stretches the figure beside it extremely long. If you only look at the shadow, it looks like a dancing demon. There is no doubt that such a scene It's quite weird, plus the figure is digging the soil with a shovel, it is easy to think of words such as murder, corpse, and trace, even if it is used for low-cost horror movies.

Jiang Chanji watched secretly, his heart was full of confusion, and he even wondered if Catherine was sleepwalking—others kill people in their dreams, but she digs soil in their dreams?
Firstly, there are no ancient mausoleums in this kind of place, and secondly, there are no treasures. If this mountain used to be a gold mine, maybe you can get a dog's head gold by luck, but now you can only dig a dog's shit with cinders. .

If Catherine planned to dig a hole before killing someone and bury her body, it would be reasonable, but she didn't dig deep. To be more precise, she just dug out a shallow layer of floating soil, at most a dozen centimeters deep. look.

She dug very slowly and meticulously. She also used an engineering shovel to break up the excavated clods of soil, as if she was looking for something in the soil, so the amount of work was not large, and the excavation range was wide and shallow.

Staying awake in the middle of the night, running here to watch her dig, really...Jiang Chanji continued to observe patiently, hesitating in his heart whether he should just show up and help her dig together, in case he really digs the dog's head gold or the treasure can be shared Half, the most important thing is to finish digging and go back to sleep quickly.

About half an hour later, Catherine suddenly stopped digging, as if she had discovered something.

She squatted down, picked up something from the soil, wiped off the dirt on the surface, and observed it carefully with the light, but Jiang Chanji was far away, so she couldn't see what she was holding, only that it was small .

Catherine observed it for about ten seconds, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. She wrapped the thing in a tissue, put it in a small box and put it in her pocket. She picked up the camping light and seemed to be leaving. She just left the things where they were and didn't intend to take them away.

Jiang Chanji watched the light gradually go away, making sure that she was really gone, and then ran to the place where she had just dug the soil, but he didn't have any lighting equipment, and under the dim starlight and moonlight, he was dazzled and didn't notice any dirt in the soil. What's strange is that it's just ordinary soil, and he inspected the backpack and engineer shovel that Catherine discarded a little bit. They are very ordinary supermarket products. Unfortunately, because they have been used and there is no shopping receipt, it seems that they cannot be returned... …

Catherine went down the mountain very fast. After a while, the light of the camping lantern reached the foot of the mountain and then went out. The lighting over there was better and there was no need to use it anymore.

Jiang Chanji was about to follow her down the mountain, when he turned around, he suddenly felt something strange in his heart.

He turned back and looked carefully at his feet and surroundings.

Where does the strange feeling come from...

He walked around the floating soil area dug by Catherine a few times, compared this area with other areas, and finally found the source of the strange feeling—there was no grass in the area under his feet.

It is autumn now, far from the severe winter when the vegetation is withered. Weeds and wild flowers of different heights grow in other areas, but this area... Although the surface was destroyed by Catherine, there are no weeds growing in the excavated soil. bare.

Why doesn't this land grow grass?Is there anything special about it?

He thought for a while, then glanced at the location of the substation, his heart suddenly moved, could this be the place where Mei Yibai died last?

After such a long time, he still has a fresh memory of the situation at that time, but he still doesn't remember exactly which land Mei Yibai died on, it can only be said that it looks like this place.

Mei Yibai transformed her body so that she was neither human nor snake, and also implanted a cobra's venom sac under the skin of her mouth. When she finally died, her ability was out of control, and the venom in the venom sac might flow out of her mouth and penetrate into the body. As a result, this piece of land is barren of grass.

Could it be that Catherine, who obviously didn't personally experience that incident, found here by virtue of this?

But what was she digging for?
According to rural legends, the place where the giant snake died may grow natural treasures such as Ganoderma lucidum, but this is obviously nonsense. Where even weeds cannot grow, can Ganoderma lucidum grow?Besides, even if Ganoderma lucidum grows, the time is too short. What is the use of Ganoderma lucidum that is less than a year old?

Now that he had lost track of Catherine, because of the delay, and had no idea where she had gone, he had to return to the rented apartment.

He returned the same way, Catherine was in the car, he was running, and after running so far back and forth, the stomach that had finally eaten full began to feel weak again.

Back at the apartment building, he saw that the door was closed, so he jumped directly to the roof.

As soon as he got to the top of the building, Michelle was standing right in front of him. She must have found him back from a long distance away, and she was waiting for him to come up.

"Sorry, I lost Catherine..." he whispered.

【She came back, not long ago. ] Michelle wrote.

Jiang Chanji was taken aback for a moment. It seemed that Catherine came back directly after leaving Beishan without going anywhere else, so she probably wouldn't go out again tonight.

【What did she do? 】

"Well... she went to dig the soil."

Michelle was also taken aback, this answer was too unexpected.

Jiang Chanji briefly narrated what he saw and heard along the way.

"Can you guess what she was digging?" He asked hopelessly, "When she was in the monastery, did she have the habit of digging when she had nothing to do?"

Catherine gets up earlier than other nuns in the monastery to practice swords every day, but Michelle, who is high on the top of the mountain, can see her every move clearly. Maybe she likes to shovel the soil a few times after practicing swords?

Michelle shook her head and wrote: [Do you want to ask her directly? 】

Jiang Chanji asked back: "Does digging in wasteland violate your teachings or rituals?"

Michelle shook her head as if she thought it was ridiculous.

"Then it's best not to ask. As long as she doesn't do anything illegal, outrageous, or violating various rules, she has the freedom to act. If there is something wrong, it's...it's my fault, and following others casually is already counted." It's immoral," he said.

Seeing that she didn't quite agree, he said: "Everyone has their own privacy, and everyone can have their own secrets, and as long as they are not harmful to others, they have the right to keep their privacy and secrets. It is okay for others to pry at will." Very bad behaviour."

[There is no privacy in the monastery. 】

"But this is not a monastery." Jiang Chanji paused, "Besides, your words are too absolute. The dean didn't tell the other nuns about your existence."

The light emanating from Mi Xue seemed to froze for a moment.

"I'm not blaming the dean. I'm saying that everyone has the right to keep their privacy and secrets. This is not a mistake, let alone a crime." He hastened to add.

【You also have a secret? 】

"Of course." He said frankly, "I have many secrets, don't you also? You haven't told the dean that you can write on the retina yet."

Michelle's light fluctuated violently a few times, and then returned to calm, as if she was reluctantly persuaded.

[So leave her alone?Pretend not to know? 】

"That's it for now. If she doesn't have any follow-up actions, let's just treat it as if she went to relax in the middle of the night." Jiang Chanji scratched his head, "Of course I will pay as much attention to her changes as possible, and if I find other things, I will come to you to discuss ...You too, if you see her doing anything wrong again, you can come and discuss it with me."

Michelle nodded and wrote: [I don't want anything to happen to Catherine. 】

"No one wants it. Catherine should know it herself. She will not rashly put herself in danger and leave her sister alone." He comforted.

Michelle was somewhat relieved.

"If there's nothing else, I'll go back to the house and sleep—you can take a rest if you're tired, there's not so much danger here."

He waved his hand and jumped back to his room from the roof.

After returning to the room, he lay back on the strange bed, still not feeling sleepy, and the picture of Catherine digging the soil and the picture of her picking up the little thing from the soil kept replaying in his mind. It was almost dawn before falling asleep in a daze.

The next morning, he was not in good spirits, but when he went out and met Catherine, she was in good spirits, and she should have slept peacefully after returning.

"What? Didn't sleep well?" she asked.

"I ate too much meat, my mouth was always dry in the middle of the night, and I got up and drank water several times."

Her expression showed a little nervousness for a moment, maybe she was worried that he would hear her going out and coming back when he got up to drink, but after thinking about it, there was no such thing as a coincidence.

"Are you still looking for the Cryptomonkey today?" She changed the subject.

"That's right, after all, I don't know how many cryptomonkeys have passed through the 'passage'. To be cautious, I'd better look for them, just in case there are fish that slip through the net. The extraordinary animals in such a large area have all disappeared. It's very likely that these three finished eating." He nodded.

Considering that the number of supernatural animals on the earth is relatively rare, after the supernatural animals in a certain area are eaten, these three adult recluse monkeys may not stay in a fixed place like a nomad who lives by chasing water and grass, but It's going all the way, hunting supernatural animals while wandering, but even so, we still have to beware of other hidden monkeys that haven't been discovered.

"What about you, what are your plans for today?" He asked back.

Since Hongye College is busy enrolling students, it is obviously inconvenient to entertain the head pastor these two days.

"I haven't asked the head pastor about this. There shouldn't be anything special about it. In fact, I really want to help you find the hidden monkey. How about I tell the head pastor to try?"

"No, there are so many people, maybe one or two people, you'd better stay with the dean." Jiang Chanji laughed.

When he went downstairs, he saw the landlady leaning against the window of the administrator's room, talking and laughing happily with Leila. The kind and kind attitude had never been shown to him... This world is so real.

Today is almost the same as yesterday, and another group of superhumans came. Jiang Chanji and the others still acted in groups as yesterday, but unexpectedly, Ouyang Caiyue, who claimed to be leaving yesterday, appeared again. This is quite understandable, after all No one thinks too much money.

A day has passed.

It's not surprising that everyone got nothing. Yesterday, Ouyang Caiyue's big victory was thanks to that dog. Now that there is no spirit dog to lead the way, everyone can only try their luck.

But in the evening, there was a small episode, someone got the head of an albino monkey from nowhere, and wanted to pretend to be the head of a cryptomonkey to receive the reward, but was ruthlessly exposed and became the laughing stock of others.

There is no gain, and naturally there is no one to treat.In the evening, Jiang Chanji and the others returned to the apartment building earlier than yesterday, discussed what could be improved in the day's actions, and then went to rest.

It was night again, Jiang Chanji didn't sleep well last night, so today he didn't suffer from insomnia, slept soundly, and didn't even have a dream.

Suddenly, Squid Whiskers reacted, and he subconsciously opened his eyes, seeing that the supposedly dark room was illuminated by a faint light.

Mi Xue came to his room again, standing by the bed and looking down at him.

After opening his eyes, he saw Michelle's face made of light. Jiang Chanji was frightened into a cold sweat. Fortunately, she is an angel of light. If she was a female ghost with wet hair hanging down his face, he probably Going into cardiac arrest—a classic horror scene.

[Sorry, didn't want to scare you, but Catherine is out again. 】 Michelle wrote.

She definitely didn't mean to scare him, but it was hard for her to make a sound to remind him, so she could only show up so abruptly. She might have seen him sleeping and was planning to wake him up by writing on his retina. just woke up.

Jiang Chanji first made sure that he was not naked, and then sat up. His head was not fully awake, and his body was chilly after the sweat evaporated.

"When?" He struggled to concentrate.

[It was just now, about the same time as yesterday. 】

[I don't know what to do, so I have to disturb you again. 】

He waved his hand, "It's not an interruption...can you...let me get dressed first."

【OK. 】 Michelle floated out of the window all of a sudden.

It took him less than a minute to put on his clothes and shoes, quietly opened the window, and jumped onto the roof.

"She still left by car? Digging again?" he asked.

[It's by car, but the direction is different from yesterday. 】 Michelle pointed in another direction.

"Okay... license plate number?"

Today, Catherine did not choose to go out from the building door, nor did she jump out of her room window. She actually slipped out from the corridor window on the side of the apartment building. When she jumped downstairs, she borrowed a car parked on the side of the road. Covering her figure, she almost concealed it from Michelle. If Michelle hadn't paid special attention to the movement around the apartment building today, she might not have noticed it. Obviously, Catherine came prepared.

The more Catherine acted secretly without telling others, the more Michelle worried that she would be involved in some very dangerous things, so she had to ask Jiang Chanji for help.

Jiang Chanji took down the license plate number written by Michelle, and chased the four wheels with two legs again.
