Alien world

Chapter 1211 133. Welcome to Liberty City

“You mean… a spinning machine in a spinning mill gave birth to a machine soul?” Olmedo raised his head from behind his thick official documents.

"That's right! It can shoot on its own and respond to us!" The captain of the guard who reported the news was extremely excited.

"shot?"

"I'm sorry... Mr. Deputy City Lord, what I meant was that I can spin yarn by myself."

"and then?"

Olmedo stopped writing and listened carefully to the report given by the captain of the guards.

"We initially suspected that it was the devil, but the devil himself is one of ours. We wondered if it was the rat man, but the rat man is also one of ours, so we went to find the owner of the house. She said she knew that the spinning machine would move on its own, and she said it was the god of the spinning machine... There is no such thing as a god of the spinning machine, it is clearly the spirit of the machine!"

The captain of the guards was so excited that he couldn't express it in words, and even lost his composure a little - after all, the legion also believed in this stuff.

Olmedo thought for a moment, "Have you talked to Annan?"

"Not yet...Should we inform Lord Annan?"

"Well, he always tinkers with weird things. Who knows if it has anything to do with him. Even if it doesn't, I think he would be very interested."

What Olmedo said was absolutely right. As soon as the news was delivered to Annan, he excitedly asked the captain of the guard to take him there quickly.

Not long after, Annan arrived at Aipu's residence.

The mansion has been temporarily put under martial law by the guards. After all, no one knows whether the appearance of the machine soul is a good thing or a bad thing - but their discussions are still accompanied by the actions of holding and stroking muskets.

Annan met Ai Pu, an ordinary female worker. She stared at the soldiers with some anxiety. She let down her guard when she saw Annan coming, and then became nervous.

"How long have you been in Liberty City?" Annan asked in a chatty tone at first.

"I... I came here with the refugees from the kingdom, Lord Annan..." Aipu stuttered a little, not sure if it was because he was nervous or something.

"Are you still getting used to your new life?"

"I like it very much. Everything here is very good..."

"Your team leader said you work very hard." Actually, no, Annan didn't even know who her team leader was. But April was no longer nervous and said honestly, "I just don't want to disappoint her..."

Annan smiled and said, "You discovered the God of Spinning Machines?"

Ap, who was fully respected, wanted to tell him everything he knew: "I don't know either... It responds to me and spins by itself. They say it is a machine spirit."

"Take me to see it."

Annan followed Aipu into the room. The spinning machine was placed in the middle of the room, unmoved.

"Can you hear me?" Annan asked curiously, but got no response.

"God...the Soul of the Spinning Machine is rather shy. It only reacts in front of me!" Worried that Annan wouldn't believe it, Aipu quickly explained.

"Is that so...we all leave first."

Annan and the captain of the guard left the room, leaving only Aipu inside.

Faint voices were heard, and not long after, Aipu came out, with a stronger sense of uneasiness than before: "It...it didn't respond to me, Lord Annan, I, I didn't lie to you, it really..."

"I know. I believe you. It seems to have a certain amount of wisdom." Annan said gently, telling her not to be afraid. "Aip, can I give you a task?"

"what?"

"We will pretend that nothing happened. You continue to contact it. If it responds to you again, tell me." After saying that, Annan looked at the spinning machine and talked to it:

"No matter who you are... This is my territory, I am willing to release kindness, now it's your turn."

Annan gave the "Soul of the Spinning Machine" a day and really dismissed the guards, leaving only two downstairs to be responsible for contacting Aipu.

The next morning, Luo Xi hurried to find Annan, making Annan think that there was good news.

"Lord Annan, is there really an organic soul!?"

"Even you know?"

"It's not just me, all three legions know about it!"

Luo Xi said that the soldiers were very excited, and each of them held their magic muskets and greased and powdered them...

"That doesn't seem bad?" "But they eat and sleep with guns."

“Isn’t this good?”

"He even calls his gun his wife!"

"That's a little weird." Annan said with disgust: "How can someone be lusty towards a gun?"

"What you said... is..." Luo Xi turned his head guiltily, "So the machine soul is real?"

"I haven't seen it yet, so let's go together."

Annan brought Luoxi to Aipu's residence and asked the guards if there was any result. After they all shook their heads, they knocked on Aipu's door.

As expected, behind the door was the female worker with a guilty look on her face.

"You are so shameless. You might as well burn it!" Luo Xi said viciously.

Annan instantly understood Luo Xi's intention and cooperated: "Don't be so violent, it's not an enemy yet."

While talking, the two of them observed the spinning machine with their peripheral vision at the same time, and then they saw that one of the spindles moved.

The machine soul is actually afraid of threats?
In any case, it will be easier once there is a reaction.

"Let's be frank. Are you coming to my territory with good intentions or aggression?"

Under Annan's gaze, the spinning machine started to turn the first spindle.

"It said yes!" Ai Pu quickly translated.

"aggression?"

Then the second spindle of the spinning machine began to spin wildly.

"no!"

"bona fide?"

The first spindle began to turn again.

Annan nodded: "I understand. Welcome to Liberty City."

The next problem was how to understand its language. Annan found a slug and let it act as a translator.

"who are you?"

The spindles of the spinning machine continued to rotate. Annan couldn't understand what was going on, so he lowered his head to look at the slug.

"I am the God of the Spinning Machine!" the slug puffed out his chest and shouted, then raised his head and said, "That's what he said."

"Who are you?" Annan asked again.

"I am Hunter, who was executed a few days ago..."

Annan was slightly startled, and asked Luo Xi to go to the prison to get the list. He did find a death row inmate named Hunter, who was executed five days ago...

Aipu was surprised, Luoxi was disappointed, and Annan had a blank expression.

So there is no machine soul, it's just that an incomprehensible accident caused a soul to get into the spinning machine?
Annan stared at the "trembling" spinning machine, what should he do...

"According to the laws of Liberty City, you have committed a crime, so you are being punished. You are not dead now..."

"Woo-woo-woo!" The slug suddenly made a strange sound. Annan looked over and pointed at the spinning machine: "It's crying."

"I haven't finished yet, but you have already accepted the punishment and died once..." Annan pondered, "and you were bought by Epp again... So, according to the Liberty City Code, you are now Epp's private property."

"Luo Xi, how do we judge private property?"

"Protect it. No person or force can rob it."

Annan shrugged and smiled: "Well, it seems that the result has not changed."

"Welcome to Liberty City."
