Oracle of Terra

Xi squinted her eyes and glanced at Shi Huaiya, but the latter didn't immediately agree, but looked at Telles.

"Which of you two has the final say?"

The little tiger's eyes were full of cunning, which also made Telles raise his eyebrows, good guy, this young lady is really a king of fire.

"He has the final say."

But Xi didn't hesitate, Shi Huaiya was taken aback by the cold voice.

She originally thought that Miss Painter had such a strong personality, but she didn't expect to listen to Telles?

"Sure, you, so are you planning to pay the rent for the painting, or are you planning to follow the conditions I just offered?"

"Follow what you said, if you think Missy is valuable, then buy it yourself. I plan to help you handle the case. After all, I am also a little interested in this case."

"Then it's a deal, I'll ask someone to send the room card later, why don't you... just talk to us here about how it's going?"

"Missy, don't you just want to fish some more?"

Hoshiguma looked at the young lady with a wry smile. These days, the management team had to deal with a lot of paperwork. After all, the waterway would affect many aspects of the problem.

"I'm trying to understand the case, so have you missed anything? Or figured out something?"

"This...Xi?"

"Take it."

She threw the painting that she had written with her authority before, and Telles unfolded the painting on the table, while Xingxiong and Shi Huaiya had strange expressions.

"Is this taken by a camera?"

"No, she drew it. According to my younger brother's dictation, you know Sister Gui, Azi."

"He... I do remember that he said he saw the monster, but the picture he described was not as specific as yours. What is this thing? Missy, do you know?"

Hoshiguma frowned and looked at the black monster in the painting that seemed to be moving at any time. Its body was pitch black, and its surface was as smooth as obsidian.

"I don't know, this should not be an existing creature recorded in the encyclopedia. I remember... The group of Ursus businessmen said that it was transported from a meteorite, right?"

Shi Huaiya seemed to think of some possibility, felt a little dry, licked her lips, and then looked up at the ceiling.

"No way?"

"I still remember the movie "Guests from Outer Space" that was very popular in Yan Kingdom 20 years ago."

"Do you still like watching those old movies?"

"It's okay to watch it blindly, Ah Fa likes to make tapes of old movies and watch them in bars."

Listening to Xingxiong's answer, and then looking at the lifelike painting, Shi Huaiya shook her head again, as if she didn't want to admit it.

"If it is true, we don't have much knowledge about dealing with aliens."

"Can it be smashed into pieces?"

"What if it splits like in that movie?"

"puff…"

Telles looked at the two people who were a little flustered, and couldn't help laughing.

After all, for the people of Terra, the sky is mysterious and vast, not to mention the vast starry sky beyond the sky.

Although there was once a director of Terra who used his fantasies about the starry sky to shoot the sensational extraterrestrial-themed movie "Guests from Outer Space", but Telles has also seen that movie. It is not so much a science fiction movie of the third kind of contact. It's a fantasy of gods and demons, but the appearance of the foreigner was indeed quite avant-garde at the time, but it was still much worse than Telles, whose mind was full of outer space science fiction and some space-themed movies.

This is also limited by the vision of this land.

"What are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing, I just think that the two of you are really good at thinking, maybe some kind of mutated infected creature."

"But how do we explain that it can go to the slums and uptown under our blockade, so big, even if it is swimming in the sewer, we should have seen it?"

For this reason, many police officers from the Guards Bureau carried out blockade operations in the sewers.

"Pipe, wouldn't he bite through the pipe?"

"Wait? You mean, he's crawling in a pipe the size of a bowl?"

how is this possible….

Shi Huaiya originally wanted to reprimand Telles, saying that this was unreasonable at all, but she immediately thought about the pipeline distribution map of Longmen...

She immediately took out her terminal and called up the map projection of those events.

Then added the construction diagram of the gantry, and finally adjusted the pipeline to red highlight.

Seeing her operation, Hoshiguma also opened his eyes wide.

"Are you right?"

"how is this possible…."

Shi Huaiya took a deep breath. Does this mean that the monster, which is much taller than Xingxiong, can travel back and forth between the slums and the upper city through such a narrow pipe?

"Get rid of all the impossibilities, and the remaining possibility, no matter how unreasonable, is the only possibility, Sister Ghost, Sir Poetry, that monster has eaten a lot of iron, right?"

"I'll let them install metal detectors next to the pipes! Hoshiguma, call your people, we're going to arrest that big guy!"

"No problem, but Missy, don't you want to deal with work?"

"Deal with that fart! I caught it and said! I haven't slept well these days because of this guy! Contact Fenchanglong and ask her to grant me permission... Forget it! I'll build a batch of metal detectors myself, Send the road map to the public channel of the Guard Bureau, and ask his mother to check for me according to this circular route. If the pipeline is directly blocked, I will pay for the loss! I must catch this damn thing and dump it Eight yuan, let's see what it is!"

Shi Huaiya, who originally planned to rush out of the room in a hurry, turned back again.

"Borrow the painting. I'll send the room card to the gate of the Guard Bureau. I'll send you a message when I arrive."

"OK, good luck with your capture, Missy."

"Just don't open your mouth."

Shi Huaiya licked her lips, then walked out in a hurry, leaving only Telles and Xi.

"What is the basis for your guess?"

Listening to their conversation, Xi Xi became interested, after all, the monster gave them a sense of familiarity.

Although it may be a creature of their era, Telles's meticulous thinking made Xi a little curious about how he made his judgment.

"Simple, another one?"

“……………….”

Somewhat helplessly, Xi took out a blank piece of paper, then made another copy of the monster picture he had 'drawn' before, and threw it on the table.

After Telles pressed it, he began to explain his guess.

"First of all, although the body structure of this monster is a four-legged reptile, it also has a sharp and slender tail, but I think it looks like a rare metal I have ever seen."

"You mean, this thing is made of iron?"

"Maybe she can give more specific advice if I show it to Nian, but I'm also a craftsman. The structure of this thing's body surface is like a composite material, and it's mostly used as a structural material for transport vehicles. Think about it. What slipped down from it?"

"The caravan transporter... But if it's so big, there's no reason why the sentry can't see it."

"Maybe it wasn't that big at the beginning, but it got so big along the way."

Speaking, Telles pointed to the structure of its joints. Although the color on the picture is all black, in terms of gloss and texture, the material of the joints is obviously inferior, even if you don’t know much about ore steel Chi Xi also understood that this monster was pieced together from different materials.

"How does it end up?"

"I don't know, maybe it will grow as big as Bechymos, maybe it will only reach a certain level, and then it can't grow anymore. After all, the materials are put together to the end, and it's okay to maintain a certain system, but the bigger it is, the greater the impact on the structure. The strength requirement is even greater. If it is too big, it may fall apart by itself. After all, Bechymos is a creature that can change its shape and internal structure just like us. Bechymos can use the source stone organs to continuously Use origin stones to transform and strengthen your body, but this guy is different, unless this guy has the same organs as us, in the end, it will only be the size of a building."

"You mean, it's the remnants of Behemoth?"

"No, Bechymos was slaughtered by me. He died completely. Although I took over Bechymos' core and authority, I can't guarantee that there is nothing special in that huge body, or... The monster is really an alien, if my authority is not as weak as it is now, maybe I can perceive it, if there is a reaction, then it has something to do with Bechymos, if there is no reaction, then it is probably something else."

"You want to continue the investigation?"

"How come, let's go to Taikoo Building first. I'm quite tired today. Anyway, thanks to Missy's kindness, we will stay in Longmen for this period of time. Let's live there. It's much safer than Mr. Lin's yard."

"Okay, but tonight."

"I know, only you and I, I will know everything, as long as I know, I will tell you."

"That's good, let's go."

Xi picked up the drawing board and walked out of the reception room, but she went straight to the escape stairs.

"Uh...Xi? Don't you take the elevator?"

"Don't sit down."

Looking at the elevator at the other end of the corridor, Telles scratched his head, but still kept up with Xi. It's healthy to take a walk occasionally.

Although it later evolved into him carrying Miss Painter who didn't want to walk downstairs, but it was worth it to be able to carry the beautiful girl's soft body on his back. It's a pity that Xi didn't have W and Nian Da.

200. Admiration

——Top Floor of Taikoo Building

"I really wanted to say, 'Look! People are like garbage!', but it was so dark that I couldn't see anything clearly. It's a pity."

I got the room card on the top floor of the Taikoo Building from the housekeeper of Shi Huaiya. Telles and Xi also enjoy this top-level treatment justifiably. This feeling is familiar.

Thinking about his small workshop, and the renovations he, Nian, and Sonia had done together after they moved in, and then looking at the renovations of the nouveau riche in front of him, I'm afraid that any thing on this floor would be better than his. A home in Sochi is worth multiples.

People are more popular than others. He was also a king before, so why didn't he have such extravagance.

Maybe this is the extravagance after the Originium Revolution, it's really outrageous!

"What are you doing there?"

Xi sat down cross-legged by the French window, and began to write and draw pictures facing the night scene outside. The scene of the modern city was not new to her who had been away from the world for many years. Variety has given her a lot of inspiration, but she can still feel at ease when overlooking all this from a high place.

——Will be at the top of the mountain, looking at all the mountains and small mountains

This city of mixed light and dark gave her a different kind of experience. Sometimes it is really good to go out for a walk. With the passage of time, the hundred scenes in the world will also have a different experience. The great mountains and rivers have also become barren for hundreds of miles.

"It's not that I'm crazy, I've never been to such a tall building before."

"I remember you can fly?"

Xi Ke remembered that he flew into the sky and killed her in seconds.

"Flying by yourself and standing on top of the crystallization of human technology are two different experiences. It's as if we fly to high altitudes, and we can't experience the beautiful scenery while lying comfortably on the bed, right?"

"Indeed, there is some truth in what you said, let's do business, come here."

Xi patted her side and motioned Telles to sit down.

"How about we sit on the bed?"

"The carpet here is even better than the high-end goods I saw in Dayan Palace before, just sit and finish."

"OK then."

But Telles was interested in other business. After all, Xi Du threw his coat aside, revealing the white arms that touched his whole body that morning, which made Telles feel a little itchy.

Has he been a little too horny lately?

Although the events between him and Nian were somewhat passive, they did arouse some thoughts in him.

"What do you want to ask?"

"I don't want to ask for now, you sit down and take off."

"what?"

Telles was about to try to hint at Xi, but Miss Painter's violent words made him a little confused.

"You mean? Take off the upper body?"

"Of course it's all off."

"Ok."

Anyway, there were only the two of them on the top floor, and Telles didn't have too many taboos. Anyway, the painter always liked this tone, but she looked at his eyes from time to time, and the way she nodded made him a little concerned.

"I said Miss Xi, what are you painting?"

"Stay honest, I have to continue painting."

After just a glance, Xi motioned Telles to continue to sit next to her, but this time, Xi held up the drawing board, faced him, and began to draw.
