Chapter 529: Irritability
Log eyes stared at Tang You's hair, and his body unconsciously moved closer, but the latter suddenly turned around and said, "There is no energy." ”
Because he couldn't react, he only heard a soft sound, and Tang You's head hit the log's nose......
Obviously, he didn't have much strength, but Yuan Mu just felt dizzy in his head, and even his body became light.
"Are you alright?"
Seeing Tang You's face approaching again, Yuan Mu clenched his fists, he wanted to retreat, but his body didn't obey the call and froze in place, until Rod saw that they didn't move for a long time and urged: "What are you doing?" ”
The log woke up suddenly, closed his eyes fiercely, and when he opened them again, he raised his eyebrows, returned to his senses, remembered what Tang You said just now, and sneered: "Stupid! ”
His hand had already reached over to take Tang You's rain shelter and exchanged it for the energy box, but in the end, he handed over his rain shelter and opened Tang You's one.
In fact, Tang You is not afraid of rain of this scale, as long as he uses his ability, he can not touch it, but in order not to attract the attention of others, he has to act like a normal person.
When Tang You left, the single rain shelter suddenly seemed empty, and the log reached out and rubbed his brows, and then looked at his palm, his expression was a little not good-looking.
The skeleton's efficiency is still good, although this is not good news, but it does save a lot of effort to inquire about the location before coming.
The place they came from was a local machine shop.
But in the age of small robots everywhere, such work basically no longer needs to be done by people. But instead of using all the small robots, the owner of the machine shop employs a lot of local residents.
Although this practice is very strange, it does solve the problem of food and clothing for many people, so it has a good reputation in the local area.
And the first disappearance took place in this machine shop.
When the first person disappeared, he didn't attract much attention from others, but he just thought that the other party didn't do anything, and secretly slandered him for being so ambitious, and that person's popularity didn't seem to be very good.
When the second person also disappeared, everyone was still a little surprised, but the most important thing to think about was whether they had found a better job.
But after that, the third, the fourth. And even more people disappeared for no reason. They finally found out that something was wrong, went to inform the boss, and found the local army garrison, and then realized that it was not only their machine factory. Even other parties have disappeared one after another. And these people do not have uniform characteristics. For a while, it made others even more panicked.
Even many people are afraid to go out alone.
Dozens of people disappeared at once, and it was impossible for the army to stand idly by, but even if they squatted on street corners every day. But you can still receive the news that someone is missing, which is a headache.
This kind of unconventional play is not a matter for high-level mecha masters.
This went on for a month and then went on without progress, and finally after discussion, it was decided to impose a curfew, and no one was allowed to go out at night, of course, only temporarily, just to find out what was going on.
Although some people were reluctant to do so, no one dared to oppose the army standing behind, so the matter was decided.
It's just that the result of the curfew is not very satisfactory, and people don't go out at night, but when they get up in the morning, they will find that there are still people missing, and this time most of them are in their own homes, and no matter how powerful the army is, they can't supervise one by one.
Later, the curfew method could not be stopped.
Now another month has passed, and everyone is not so scared after getting used to it, and they also found that most of the missing people are few friends and lack friends, and even if they are missing, few people care about them, and most of them are worried that it will affect them.
So much so that now, even if someone hears such news again, they can treat it calmly.
Rhodes was very dismissive of this, and he wouldn't have been willing to come if they hadn't come for clues related to the mysterious organization.
"What about your suspicions?" Tang You asked.
Since the skeleton brought them here, it can't be just because there are a hundred or so people missing here, there should be other clues.
Sure enough, I listened to Rod reluctantly: "Mr. Zhuo suspects that it may have something to do with the factory owner, who usually pretends to be a good person, but he looks like he is not a good person!" ”
The army had suspected the factory owner, but since no evidence was found, the suspicion was eventually ruled out.
But the key point is that the soldiers of the army do not know that there is another human in this world called the Alien.
In particular, there must be a reason for Zhuo Lian to say this.
So now they are going to go to the owner of this factory, not to rush to arrest people, and wait for the observation before they do it.
Five people, two fifth-order superpowers, two high-level mecha masters, plus Rhodes, a semi-high-level mecha master, add up to a very strong strength, at least they can walk sideways on this small planet.
The stupid way of climbing the roof to monitor was no longer applicable, Tang You threw out a few ability weapons and sat with the others waiting for news.
The other party hasn't made frequent shots recently, but it's been two days since the last person disappeared, and it will almost not be delayed any longer, so it's very likely tonight.
The owner of the machine shop is a middle-aged woman, who, although she is a little older, is still charming and looks kind.
It is said that she is not a local, and she has only heard that she has been married once, but then she does not know why she became single again, and she settled down after coming here, although she is alone, but her life is not bad.
After a night of surveillance, there was no movement, and the factory owner went to bed in his house and got up early very regularly.
I thought it was the other party who didn't act, but when they were about to return, they heard someone say that someone was missing again last night.
Everyone: "......"
It seems that their conjecture is not entirely accurate.
But after all, their manpower is limited, and it is impossible to keep an eye on them one by one. So you can only follow one idea to the end.
And Tang You didn't think Zhuo Lian's conjecture was wrong, but the other party didn't show his feet.
Tang You was still in charge of keeping an eye on the factory boss, but the others did not all follow her, but divided into several groups.
Log is in a group with Tang You, Lin Tian is in a group with the skeletons, and Rhodes is taking the rest of the skeletons around the streets and alleys.
Tang You has no objection to this arrangement, and because of his ability, he doesn't need to run around every day, so it looks extremely leisurely to outsiders.
The Skeleton Pirate Group also has a few abilities, but their strength is slightly inferior to Tang You. They all followed Rhodes to hear the news.
Zhuo Lian stayed at home. Summarizing the news they received every day, but the conclusion they came to remained the same, still staring at the factory owner.
And in the same situation as them, Lin Tian and the skull's group were compared to her and the logs. They don't communicate with each other basically once a day.
"What are you looking at?"
The log followed Tang You's line of sight and saw Lin Tian and the two outside the door. Now the rain has stopped. Originally, you still need to use things to get around, but now the pool that is almost two meters high has almost seeped down, followed by the scorching sun.
The place where they are staying is ok. There are refrigeration equipment, but it is not so wonderful when you go out of the house, of course, it is still a step worse than the Gamma Star that Tang You experienced back then.
"Nothing." Tang You retracted his gaze.
Xiao Rin still kept the set of Go that Tang You gave him back then, and he liked to take it out for study when he had nothing to do, and shared it with Zhuo Lian, but the latter learned quickly, and he didn't leave a piece of armor that he could kill in a few days.
The other skeletons don't seem to be interested in anything.
So now Xiao Rin will take out the chessboard and play two games with Tang You, but although Tang You doesn't study Go much, he has a good memory and remembers some chess games from his previous life, so Xiao Rin is not her opponent, and she lost completely again.
Xiao Rin stared at the chess game in front of him, as if he wanted to stare at a flower.
Zhuo Lian next to him saw some interest, walked over and said, "Mr. Xiao Tang is a good method, it's better to have a plate with Zhuo." ”
It's okay to deal with Xiao Rin, a child, but it's not so easy to deal with Zhuo Lian.
But Tang You didn't care about winning or losing, so he nodded dispensably: "Whatever." ”
Then they came to two sets casually, and Zhuo Lian was very unlucky to lose two sets.
The log was very happy to look at it from the side, and his eyes couldn't help but stop on Tang You a few more times, and then he couldn't move away, and his head was full of her serious chess play, the sun was shining on the side of her face, crystal clear, and she especially wanted to take a bite.
Realizing his strange thoughts, the log immediately felt a little bad, and finally couldn't sit still and got up and walked away, and he could still hear Tang You and Zhuo Lian talking heartlessly behind him, and he was inexplicably a little angry.
On the fifth day of surveillance, everyone finally discovered something abnormal, and the life of the boss of this machine factory was too regular.
I get up early every day to go out to inspect work, and then go to a fixed place with my friends to eat, sit all afternoon, and rest very early in the evening.
Not only is life monotonous and simple, but even the daily time is very accurate.
Although it can't be thought that there is anything wrong with her because of this, it is a breakthrough now.
The investigation was handed over to Lin Tian and the skull, and Tang You had nothing to do and still lived a leisurely life every day.
And Zhuo Lian fell in love with playing chess with Tang You in his spare time, and his progress was really rapid, and even Tang You had a hard time coping with it later.
The log was still sitting far away from them at first, but in the end, he would unconsciously move back, but he also watched a lot of chess games, and saw that Tang You's eyes fell on the chessboard because of this, and he couldn't help frowning.
So when Zhuo Lian was about to open another plate, the log tapped his finger and said, "I'll come." ”
Zhuo Lian glanced at Tang You, and then smiled: "It's an honor." ”
Although it was the first time for Log to come into contact with Go, it was no wonder that people were too smart, and after watching so many chess games, he appreciated nothing less than Zhuo Lian, and won the first game.
Zhuo Lian didn't care if he lost, and praised the log very calmly, but the latter just looked at Tang You.
Tang You looked at him strangely, and then said, "Not bad." ”
The log was immediately satisfied, but as soon as he picked up a chess piece between his fingers, he was stunned: "Chess pieces? ”
Zhuo Lian originally wanted to say something, but his eyes flashed when he didn't know what to think, and then he smiled: "Yes, chess piece." ”
Xiao Rin, who was watching the excitement of playing chess, looked at the two people who were inexplicable, and put the chessboard back by himself.
After that, Yuan Mu took Tang You directly to the boss of the machinery factory, and the result was naturally missing, but the defense here was not difficult for them, and the two directly bypassed the defense and attacked each other's house.
And the log wanted to knock people out before the other party reacted, but in the end he was dodged by the other party!
Even if the log didn't use all his strength, it wouldn't be a simple person who could dodge his attack.
"Who are you? It's too rude to break into someone's house like this. ”
As soon as Yuan Mu wanted to say something, he saw Tang You staring at the person opposite, and suddenly a fire rose in his heart, Rao is that woman is still a little beautiful, but it is far worse than what he has seen before, what is there to see!
But he didn't want Tang You to say to him: "Do you remember the incident of pirates attacking the planet two years ago?" ”
Although he didn't know why she mentioned it, Log replied, "Yes." ”
Because the incident at that time may be related to the supernatural, so he paid a lot of attention, originally Xinglan was behind the scenes, but he couldn't find any clues, and in the end it was gone, but fortunately, nothing like that happened later.
But then he heard Tang You say to him: "Then now that the culprit has been found, it is on the other side." ”
Yuan Mu didn't even think about how Tang You's words were guessed, but he had already made a move, and the woman on the other side reacted half a beat slowly, only to hear a stabbing sound, and a large piece of the clothes on her body was torn off, revealing half of her arms.
The woman didn't mind at all, but her eyes fell on Tang You and she squinted: "What did you just say?" ”
Tang You looked at her and said, "Puppet Ability." ”
Seeing the opposite gaze of the two, Yuan Mu let out an irritable "tsk", even if it was a woman standing opposite, he wanted to throw the other party into the prison!
What's more, this person could really be one of the star thieves.
But then before the log could make a move, the person on the other side suddenly stiffened, and then his eyes were dilated, and he slowly fell to the ground.
The log stepped forward to probe the pulse, but there was no vibration at all: "What's the matter?" ”
But after speaking, I remembered the encyclopedia of the supernatural written by Tang You, which has an introduction to the puppet superability, which can control the body of the creature, but the premise is that the controlled creature is alive, and the current situation is probably that the puppet body body has reached the limit, so the control will be automatically lifted.
Tang You shook his head and said, "It's her who wants to quit." (To be continued......)
