only monsters

Chapter 1468 No. 86: Invisible War Zone
"Is it okay to meet here? Even I heard that young lady is going to compete in the Canaan Cup."

"Then I wonder if you have learned some common sense in the industry, such as it is not advisable to train too hard before a competition, let alone to train too much."

"I think I've heard of this before...but you guys..."

Looking at the Sirius symbol galloping away at the uneven route that didn't look like a horse racing track, and frequently causing phantoms that looked like monsters on the galloping route, the director of the Gray Crow squinted his eyes for a long time before he could make out...

It was like a bunch of cards hanging in the air, and the image of the card would be enlarged when the other party got within one meter.

"It looks quite intense..." She was silent for a long time before she uttered this sigh.

With her naked eyes that had not been modified by machines and not interfered too much with source energy, she could hardly see the runner's location. She could only see the phantoms of the cards being magnified one after another, and the clear light that occasionally bloomed on the opponent's route.

Sometimes there is orange, sometimes there is red, and sometimes there is blue. Those are the light effects of the energy of the three goddesses.

Riots are occurring at an unusual frequency.

"But I don't know much about Uma Musume. Is this considered an extreme type of training?"

"It's a training that the media won't believe even if you tell them about it."

"Then why?"

"Just like when I asked you to borrow that valuable thing again, there are always situations where I have to use it."

"This is actually not that valuable. After all, it is just a simulation of a higher dimension, not a real entry into a higher dimension."

"But the being who gave you this creation should have asked you to take good care of it and keep records every time you use it?"

"I understand that there will always be thresholds, just like the cooperation that Director Linton promised this time. Please bear with me in the future."

"That's fine, but the valuable things I mentioned are not only this device, but also time."

"time?"

“Time is precious because of its value. I borrow your time, and someone who wants to spend time with you loses time in disguise.”

"Ah... Are you talking about Lucia? How should I put it?" The female commander scratched her head awkwardly. "I heard that Director Linton has four girlfriends. It's not surprising to see that, but it's quite rare in our place."

"That's fine. It's not uncommon in the Federation. And I believe she actually made a schedule for her time with you."

"Uh, how do you know that?" The woman smiled bitterly with some helplessness.

"Mountains and lakes, bustling streets, couples' shops, and even the earliest cultural center promoting friendly mechanical bodies. She marked a lot of places that I haven't had time to visit recently."

"It's only recently. I think it will happen all the time. You should know Dr. Rorschach. Even a busy man like him has the chance to be bumped into in a couple's store by me."

"Uh... you didn't accept any commission to catch an adulterer, did you?"

As the director of a firm, even though the Grey Crow Firm was essentially just a convenience and its actual nature was actually an embassy rather than a firm, the director also became alert, although this alertness was quite subtle.

Rather than thinking about the clients who were often deceived by scam agencies, it seemed like I had done something wrong.

"No, you haven't told me how you figured it out just now!"

Suddenly changing the subject made it seem like she had done something wrong. It seemed that not only had she seen the invisible war zone, she was also very aware of it.

"Dissatisfaction, direct dissatisfaction, but also extremely delicate expression. I have to sigh. Although I heard that the members of your firm are all highly prosthetic beings, the details of their emotional expression are no different from those of ordinary people. This simulation achievement is really amazing."

"I think Director Linton's sharp vision is more worthy of admiration."

"Really? I thought that Mr. Li, who I worked with before, could do something similar."

"Well, this should be a self-conscious issue. Although there are similar performances, it seems that I will not use it in this way except when working."

"I'm also working, Miss Director. Let me give you a simple example. What would you think if you saw a heart and a name carved on a tree, and the names were from different handwritings?"

"Very romantic?"

"I would think that on a normal day, but when I hear that at work, it makes me concerned that two people are out on a date and one or both of them are carrying a knife for some reason."

"Uh... a very intuitive example."

"Excuse me, it's not that there is no room for romance in work, it's just that in more business work, the romantic elements we come into contact with are mostly additional expressions of victims or perpetrators."

"Extra expression?"

"For example, the strange patterns left by the victim before his death, or the extra traces left by the perpetrator at the scene. This falls into the realm of criminal investigation. If you are interested, you may want to learn more about it later."

"I can't say I'm interested, but does talking so much bother you?"

Looking at the instrument held in Omer's palm, Director Gray Crow, who had seen it hanging there for several minutes, couldn't help but wonder if he was wasting the other party's time.

"No, in fact, I have already made four rounds of contact with it."

"Did it have any effect?"

“That eliminates one variable.”

"?" "Thank you for your generosity," Omer said as he handed the instrument back, raising his hand to draw the black vortex that brought the other party here again. "The promised cooperation will be sent to your firm's mailbox in the form of an electronic contract later. Now please allow me to send you back."

"Oh, okay, but did you really help?" Looking at the black fog gate, the Gray Crow Director turned back and said, "If we need your help later, it will be troublesome~"

The implication is undoubtedly that if he can't help, he can ask this side to help do something else, otherwise it would be a bit guilty to order Omar around.

Although this director does not run the firm properly, he does have the human touch that is typical of an excellent firm.

It is a bit awkward to be the representative of the embassy. I am afraid that I will suffer losses both in my hometown and in the upper circles here.

"Understood. I look forward to contacting you then."

"So am I really leaving? I wish you all the best in your training and that thing."

"I accept your good words."

"No need to follow me!"

With an especially relieved look, she waved goodbye to Omar, who had intended to send her off as she had received her. The enthusiastic and capable female director, who was probably caught in a huge emotional whirlpool like the doctor in Rhodes Island, simply stepped into the black fog and disappeared from Omar's sight.

He also let Omer dispel the black fog, silently restrained his smile, and looked at the horse girl in training who became extremely clear when the black fog dissipated.

"You... and her... were... talking about... what..."

Omer's description of the director's training was not false. Even if the whole running was just one lap, it was still a lot of exercise for an ordinary person in a short-distance running test, enough to make an adult horse girl like Sirius Symbol gasp for breath.

Some horse girls would intentionally train themselves to adjust their state at this time. Whether it is a calm appearance or greeting the audience, it can be regarded as a part of image building. Sirius can also go this way, but now she obviously has no such idea. The panting appearance with her hands on her knees to buffer the state is unreserved and even sexy.

However, the trainer only thought: The time is indeed about the same...

Glancing at the precisely timed mark, Omar produced a thermos cup out of thin air and handed it to her: "Of course it's about the work at noon."

"Is... any progress?" Sirius took the cup, unscrewed it, took a sip and frowned.

Although the taste is very strange, it is also familiar. Sports drinks that replenish water and electrolytes will always be the same unless the taste is adjusted.

But this guy can obviously adjust, right? He even considered so much when he cooked for those little girls!
Is telling myself to be obedient just a better way to perfunctorily deal with myself? !
"No, it just proves that we can't contact Him even in the simulated high-dimensional state. We were able to contact Him before, probably not only because we entered the simulated high-dimensional state, but also because He briefly came to the base dimension. The conditions were somewhat harsh, but it also ruled out one option."

“What…are you talking about?”

Sirius forgot to breathe after hearing this series of things.

"That means I should give up the simple and clear way of communication. What I should think about next is probably how to help the other party establish a connection with the world."

"Are you talking about time travelers?"

Such a mysterious thing, in Sirius's understanding, if it is not the second-year syndrome, then it is literally related to people from another world.

"That's not wrong, but it's more like a parallel universe than an alien world. It also makes me wonder if the reason why 'He' cannot be recognized by the world is because of my existence here."

"You don't want to give way to the other side, do you?"

"Not really. I'm not that generous. I just wonder if it's necessary to work hard in this area that I'm not good at. Maybe I can just let the universe try to contact Him."

"Universe? New universe?" Sirius knew the child's unique background, and also knew that the child probably had some special abilities.

"Yes, Justice once tested her mysterious ability and found that it seemed that it was not just the so-called quantum mechanics that could explain it. Perhaps she could appear anywhere in the universe just like her name."

"Then let her try."

"The premise is to ensure safety. Who knows where the King of Beasts is? Maybe we should contact Gulit."

"Another unfamiliar name pops up. Is Gulit referring to the animation that Shinjo made two months ago?"

"That's right, but honestly you don't need to remember this. Now that your breath is even, you should continue running. Can you stay focused?"

The contact with Gulit was completed during the conversation. Omar turned his head to look at her, and there was an obvious stream of data passing through his eyes.

That was proof that he was still paying attention to the other 'battlefield'.

"Of course! Do you think I'm a little girl running for the first time!?"

Sirius, who handed back the cup of water, also did two large side leg stretches and ended with a jump. His agile and flexible appearance made Omar's eyes flash with surprise.

In terms of flexibility and agility, Sirius doesn't seem to be at the declining level of a 23-year-old who is always having fun. Instead, he is not much different from Qianming, Bairen, Rudolph and others.

"Then please."

"You really still want to get kicked?"

"Show me how it goes the second time, Sirius."

"Hmph, get ready to re-time me!"
