“it Doesn’t Have Any Malicious Intent Towards Us.”
Not long after.
Master Jia and a group of Police Officers all came to support.
Seeing them looking dejected, sitting on the ground, each with their heads down and looking distraught, they were immediately filled with doubt.
“Where is that extremely special weird?”
Fully armed, Master Jia stepped forward and questioned these people.
He looked at the amulets on these people, all intact, and the doubt in his eyes deepened.
“The amulets I gave you would activate upon encountering that monster, why are they still intact?”
As he spoke, he looked around, but saw no sign of the monster, his eyes filled with anger.
“What on earth is going on?”
Officer Zhang stood up, cigarette in mouth, his voice hoarse as he recounted the events to Master Jia.
…
After he finished speaking, Master Jia stood there dumbfounded.
After a long silence, he pulled out an old smoking pipe from his pocket and smoked it with a complex expression.
……
In the cave.
Li Bin absentmindedly looked at a message on his wristwatch.
After hesitating for a while, he said to Master Hao:
“Master Hao, you… no, the 【Starfire Train】 is wanted…”
As he spoke, he displayed the information from his wristwatch as a virtual panel.
Yu Hao looked at the information, not feeling too surprised.
“Master Hao, although the train’s appearance in this information and our train body look different, other aspects are 100% similar…”
Li Bin continued to speak with a complex expression.
“Now this information has reached number one on Huaixi City’s Hot Search…”
“The report on the information refers to our train as an 【Extremely Special Weird】…”
“Okay, I understand.”
Yu Hao said calmly, “So how do you choose next?”
Li Bin was stunned, at a loss for words at Master Hao’s follow-up question.
He was silent for a moment.
It seemed Master Hao knew everything; this question was a chance for him to choose.
Was it to choose this world, or to choose to be on Master Hao’s side?
Without thinking too long, he had his answer.
With a firm gaze, he said:
“Master Hao, I choose to continue being a member of your train!”
“They abandoned me, but Master Hao, you took me in.”
“Therefore, I will stand firmly by Master Hao’s side.”
“No matter what Master Hao does, I will fully support you!”
“If they consider you an enemy, then they are also my enemies!”
Yu Hao glanced at Li Bin, saw the loyalty on his face, and the corners of his mouth turned up.
“Good.”
“Then let’s work together.”
“I will take you to experience a different life.”
“Yes, Master Hao!”
……
Back Mountain.
Everyone gathered together, suddenly at a loss.
Master Jia, with a worried look on his face, smoked his pipe, silent for a long time before speaking:
“So that monster is not a weird…”
“Talismans are close at hand, but the amulets are ineffective against it…”
“All our methods of dealing with the weird may be ineffective against it…”
“What’s wrong with this world? It’s been wrong since a year ago.”
“All sorts of weird events are emerging, and now there’s even a monster that doesn’t belong to the scope of the weird.”
“This will really ruin our world…”
Everyone suddenly felt desperate.
If it was dealing with stubborn weirds, they might still have some methods, but dealing with this monster that was completely beyond their understanding, they really didn’t know what to do…
This world’s technological weapons stopped developing when the weird appeared more than ten years ago.
Now the most powerful thermal weapons are various guns…
Against this monster, it might not be very effective…
Officer Zhang smoked one cigarette after another. As he was about to finish one, a rather absurd idea suddenly popped into his mind. He used his fingers to pinch the cigarette from his mouth.
Taking a deep breath, he looked at Master Jia, who was in distress, and said with an uncertain tone:
“Master Jia, what if… there’s a possibility that this monster might not be our enemy?”
“???”
Master Jia, who was lowering his head in thought, smoking his pipe, looked up at Officer Zhang with a look that implied he was an idiot, an expression of “What are you joking about?”.
He wanted to say something, but couldn’t find the words.
“…”
Seeing Master Jia’s reaction, Officer Zhang twitched the corner of his mouth, touched his nose awkwardly, and said:
“Master Jia, this is just a guess.”
“Don’t take it seriously.”
“Let me tell you why I think so.”
Officer Zhang quickly explained his idea, fearing that if he waited any longer, Master Jia would scold him…
“This is what I think. I have encountered this monster twice, the first time was on the sports field, and the second time is here.”
“Both encounters had the same situation: the monster saw us, but didn’t harm us.”
“With its strength, if it wanted to harm us, we wouldn’t be alive.”
“Just now, I and other Police Officers were less than 20 meters from the monster. The monster could have easily used its bucket-sized long tongue to swallow us at first sight.”
“But it didn’t. It let us escape, and it also burrowed underground. Moreover, after some of the Police Officers and I ran a distance, we fired at its tail.”
“Although the bullets hit the shield on its tail, our actions didn’t provoke it; it continued to leave without looking back.”
“This shows that it has no malice towards us.”
“The experience on the sports field was the same. Two Professionals took the initiative and showed hostility, using their skills.”
“The monster dealt with it casually, winning with overwhelming power. Afterwards, it didn’t attack us, but took some shields and warning tapes and left.”
“In these two encounters, whether it’s the Professionals’ initiative on the sports field or the accidental encounter here in the Back Mountain, the monster didn’t harm us. I think this proves that the monster doesn’t have malice towards us, or rather, it’s not interested in us.”
“Even though we slightly provoked it on the sports field, it didn’t harm me.”
“I guess, if we don’t provoke this monster, then this monster may not become our enemy.”
“…”
Officer Zhang finished explaining his idea, and Master Jia fell silent after listening.
He felt that what Officer Zhang said made sense.
After all methods of dealing with the weird proved ineffective against the monster, the monster could have easily killed them, but it didn’t do so twice, which might very well prove Officer Zhang’s point…
