A strange world

Chapter 1211 Section 133. Welcome to Liberty City

"You mean...a spinning machine in the spinning factory gave birth to a machine spirit?" Olmedo raised his head from behind his thick official duties.

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

"shot?"

"Sorry... Vice City Lord, what I want to say is that you can spin your own yarn."

"Then what?"

Olmedo stopped writing and listened carefully to what the captain of the Guards reported.

"At first we suspected that the devil was at work, but the devil himself is one of our people. We wondered if it was the Rat Man, but the Rat Man is also one of our people, so we went to find the owner of the house. She said she knew that the spinning machine would move on its own. He is also said to be the god of spinning machines... There is no such thing as the god of spinning machines, he is clearly the spirit of the machine!"

The captain of the Guards was so excited that he even lost his temper - after all, the Legion also believed in this stuff.

Olmedo thought thoughtfully: "Have you talked to Annan?"

"Not yet...do you want to inform Mr. Annan?"

"Well, he always comes up with weird things. Who knows if it has something to do with him. Even if it doesn't, I guess he will be very interested."

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

Not long after, Annan came to Aip's residence.

The mansion has been temporarily guarded by the guards. After all, no one knows whether the appearance of the machine spirit is good or bad - but their conversations are still accompanied by the movements of holding and rubbing the musket.

Annan met Aipu, an ordinary female worker. She stared at the soldiers with some uneasiness. She lowered her guard when she saw Annan approaching, and then became nervous.

"How long have you been in Liberty City?" Annan said in a casual tone.

"I...I came here with the Kingdom's refugees, Lord Annan..." Aip stuttered a little, maybe because of nervousness or something else.

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

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

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

Annan smiled: "Have you discovered the God of Spinners?"

Having received full respect, Aip couldn't wait to tell him everything he knew: "I don't know either... It will respond to me and spin its own yarn. They say it is a machine soul."

"Take me to see it."

Annan followed Aip into the room. The spinning machine was placed in the center of the room, untouched.

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

"God... the soul of the spinning machine is quite shy. It only reacts in front of me!" Worried that Annan wouldn't believe it, Aip quickly explained.

"Is that so... let's all exit first."

Annan and the guard captain exited the room, leaving Aip alone.

There were faint voices, and not long after, Aip came out, with more anxiety than before: "It... it didn't respond to me, Mr. Annan, I, I didn't lie to you, it really..."

"I know. I believe your words. It seems that they have some wisdom." Annan's tone was gentle, telling her not to be afraid, "Aip, can I give you a task?"

"What?"

"We will treat it as if nothing happened. You continue to contact it. If it responds to you again, come and 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 is your turn."

Annan gave the "Spinning Machine Soul" a day and really dismissed the guards, leaving only two downstairs responsible for contacting Ai Pu.

Early the next morning, Luo Xi hurriedly came to find Annan, making Annan think there was good news.

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

"Even you know?"

"Not just me, all three legions know about it!"

Losey said that the soldiers were very excited, holding magic guns and polishing them with oil and powder...

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

"Isn't this good?"

"You still call your gun your wife!"

"Then something is wrong." Annan looked disgusted: "How could someone be in love with a gun?"

"What you're saying...is..." Losi turned her head guiltily, "So is the machine spirit real?"

"I haven't gone to see it yet. Let's go there together."

Annan took Losi to Aip's residence, asked the guards if there were any results, and knocked on Aip's door after they all shook their heads.

As expected, the female worker’s face was full of guilt behind the door.

"It's shameless, why not burn it!" Losi said viciously.

Annan immediately understood Losi's intention and cooperated: "Don't be so violent, it is not an enemy."

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

The machine soul is actually afraid of threats?

In any case, it's easier to handle if you have a reaction.

"Let's be honest, did you come to my territory with good intentions, or with aggression?"

Under Annan's gaze, the spinning machine spun the first spindle.

"It says yes!" Aip quickly translated.

"aggression?"

Then I saw the second spindle of the spinning machine spinning crazily.

"no!"

"bona fide?"

The first spindle started spinning again.

Annan nodded: "I understand, welcome to Liberty City."

The next question is how to understand its language. Annan found a slug and asked it to act as a translator.

"Who are you?"

The spindles of the spinning machine continued to rotate. Annan couldn't understand it, so he looked down at the slug.

"I am the god of the spinning machine!" The slug shouted with his chest puffed out, raised his head and said: "This is what it said."

"Who are you?" Annan asked again.

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

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

Aip was surprised, Luo Xi was disappointed, and Annan had no expression.

So there is no machine soul, but 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 made a mistake, so you are punished, you are not dead now..."

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

"I haven't finished yet, but you have 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."

"Losi, how do we judge private property?"

"Protect it, and no person or force can rob it."

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

"Welcome to Liberty City."
