"Constant, pervasive surveillance, yet difficult to detect. Well, since it's a rat hiding its head and showing its tail, all we have to do is expose it."
Otto continued to talk to himself, not knowing whether he was organizing his thoughts or conveying his ideas to Xu Kong Wan Zang.
"And to reveal the tracks of a guy who's good at hiding himself, all you have to do is isolate him, so..."
"Yuno, the weather is nice tomorrow. Is there any place you want to go?"
While Otto was lost in thought, Anna, outside of his consciousness, asked Yuno for advice on the next journey.
"Haha, got it."
In the real world, Yuno shook her head and was about to say "Anywhere is fine" - she had always used this answer to deal with Anna - but when the words were on the tip of her tongue, a strong thought suddenly emerged from the bottom of her heart, so she changed her words.
"I want to go hiking tomorrow."
"Really? That's great!"
Anna was just asking for her friend's opinion out of habit. In fact, she had already prepared to make her own decision. At this moment, she was a little surprised by Yuno's answer.
But she didn't think much about it. She just felt that her somewhat autistic friend was finally starting to show signs of becoming more cheerful, and all she felt in her heart was happiness and blessings.
After completing this insignificant intervention, Otto lay dormant again.
"Haha... leaving the crowded city, I hope you have the courage to chase Mr. 'prey' whom you have never met before into the sparsely populated wilderness."
"Well, maybe it's Miss..."
"Haha, it doesn't matter. What matters is that I will catch you."
………………
From the moment he entered the mountain area, Otto began to analyze and check every glance that passed over him one by one, and traced back in reverse, carefully observing the owner of the glance, and judging whether he was the target he was looking for through his expression, language, and interaction with his companions.
Otto does not think this is a boring job. On the contrary, he enjoys this "silent hunting game" and he is the hunter.
The purpose of spreading the news in the early stage and alerting the enemy has been initially achieved; the next thing to do is to pull out the snake that hides its head and shows its tail.
The further into the mountains they went, the fewer people there were, and the smoother Otto's investigation became. By the time he was drifting in the mountain rivers, Otto had already locked onto a few suspicious targets.
Otto was confident of victory, and he only needed to wait for the right opportunity to shake off Anna and easily capture his prey.
"This is... Honkaimon?"
The sudden attack temporarily interrupted Otto's train of thought. A cat-shaped Honkai Beast, never seen before, suddenly burst out from the grass by the river, aiming directly at him.
"Haha, interesting. Looks like we have the same idea?"
Otto saw the collar around the neck of the Honkai Beast and knew that this was a carefully planned ambush. However, he was not angry but happy instead, as if he was proudly admiring the struggle of the prey in the trap. He believed that he was qualified to do so.
"careful!"
Anna reacted quickly and rushed forward immediately, but was immediately seriously injured and fell into the water, with blood splattering into the sky and dyeing the river red.
This sudden change not only made Yuno angry, but also made Otto's pupils freeze. This guy's strength should not be underestimated, at least he can rival Rita.
How much combat power does the other side have with this kind of strength?
Otto became more and more fond of his "prey". After all, if the other party was too weak, Otto would feel very disappointed.
After all, no one likes to compete with the air, right?
But soon, Otto's attention was drawn to another sudden change:
The huge cat-shaped Honkai beast suddenly began to dig the soil ferociously and tremblingly, as if venting its pain, as if the giant claw that injured Anna had also suffered equal huge damage.
"Oh? It seems the Shaniat family has given birth to another interesting little one?"
Otto saw the trick.
In the past, Otto would have been very interested in Anna, but now, he was not interested.
Ever since Cecilia was brought up and Kiana was successfully born, families like Kaslana and Shaniat have lost their value to Otto, so he naturally won't pay more attention to them.
What happened next was unremarkable. Yuno angrily counterattacked, and the monster retreated in panic.
"Oh, I found you!"
At this moment, Otto finally got the final answer from those suspicious gazes.
Compared to the escaped Honkai Beast, Otto firmly believes that the lurker who has always been hiding in the dark is more valuable!
So, Otto stood up with a laugh without hesitation, took control of his body from the virtual personality, and prepared to rush straight to the direction of his "prey".
Then, she found that her body was resisting her own commands - "Yuno" wanted to save her friends first.
"..."
Otto didn't expect that a virtual personality could cause him trouble.
Although he was speechless, he didn't want to dwell on this trivial matter any further. Yuno, in her girlish form, casually pulled the severely injured and unconscious Anna from the bottom of the water and briefly examined her injuries.
Fortunately, no vital parts were injured. Although the bleeding was still dangerous in such a desolate place, it was not a problem for Otto - as a soul steel composed of nanorobots, treating wounds was a waste of his talent.
It sounds troublesome, but it actually only takes a moment to complete.
Now that Anna was out of danger and Yuno's wish was fulfilled, she stopped causing trouble. Otto casually placed the girl by the river and rushed towards his "prey" at full speed.
"On the top of the mountain? Oh, what a great vantage point."
Otto sneered at the other party's cleverness, and appeared next to the man dressed as a tourist like a divine soldier from heaven. He seemed to be too frightened at the moment, and his face turned pale and he was about to fall to the ground.
The road on the top of this mountain is narrow and rocky. If you fall off the cliff, wouldn’t it be a big loss?
That won't work!
The kindhearted Otto quickly reached out and helped him up, so that he would not fall to the ground and get his clothes dirty.
"careful!"
"Thanks……"
The man thanked Otto sincerely. His pale face and weak tone made Otto frown: This guy's image was far from what he had expected!
Did I guess wrong?
The guy in front of him looked like just an ordinary frightened man. Looking at the tourists lying all over the place around him, Otto couldn't help but fall into self-doubt.
But it was too late to turn back and chase the Honkai Beast, so Otto had to grit his teeth and cut his losses. Maybe he could find out something?
It can't be a wasted trip, right?
With the attitude of giving it his all, Otto summoned the Mimic Feather Dust, and golden feathers scattered all over the ground.
"Sir, it seems you just saw something you shouldn't have seen, and you were a little frightened..."
"Would you mind telling me everything you saw and knew?
Chapter 90: Air Force? (6,000 words)
“Swish, swish, swish…”
The wind in the valley brought a refreshing coolness as it blew over the hills, went down the foot of the mountain, and blew calmly into the dense rainforest, rolling up hot and humid water vapor with the rustling sound of branches and leaves. The original cool breeze became dull and humid along with the original air of the rainforest.
“Swish, swish, swish…”
The Yaezakura, coming with the breeze, lightly dropped to the ground from the towering branches. She gently picked up the soil on the ground that was mixed with dead branches and leaves, sniffed the subtle smell of blood in the rotten soil, and carefully identified the whereabouts of her "prey" -
As the shrine maiden of Yae Village, Yaesakura is also a qualified hunter.
"..."
Yaezakura took off the shikigami mask on her face and took a deep breath.
sloppy...
This is Southeast Asia, the Philippines, not the Far East, nor the ancient Shinano Kingdom. The forests here are too dense and leafy, and the sunlight is extremely thin when it penetrates the layers of treetops and falls to the ground. The overly narrow eye sockets of the Shikigami mask seem a bit inappropriate in this environment.
It's been so long since I last acted alone that I got a little too excited...
Yaezakura gently stroked the fox face of the mask, hung it back around her waist as it was, and a strange smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Lin Weijun shouldn't make fun of me, right?
Yaezakura thought quietly and sighed softly.
Although he had been resisting before, he was unconsciously influenced by Le Tu Ying.
Shikigami masks are utensils used in shrine rituals, not props used to cover the face or hide the head and tail.
But every time Le Tuying fights, she will cover her face with a peculiarly shaped mask, which, combined with her fierce martial arts posture, makes her look quite intimidating.
Yaezakura was strong-willed by nature, and since she disliked the other party, she naturally did not want to be dominated by the other party in this regard. She immediately put on the Shikigami mask she carried with her on her face as a response.
As for whether the gods will be angry if I do this?
Yaezakura always scoffed at this question - when had she, a shrine maiden, ever worshipped God?
That's all fake!
After living in Paradise with Lin Wei for a long time, we actually developed a habit.
Then I got tricked a little bit...
The vision was so poor with the mask on that it was difficult to notice some small obstacles. The overly dense branches along the way scratched my ears and caused them to hurt.
Well, I'm talking about the pair of long ears on the top of the head.
Yaezakura took off her hat, tidied her messy waist-length pink hair, suppressed the slight embarrassment in her heart, simply identified the direction of the prey, and continued to chase after it.
The girl's nimble figure moved slowly and leisurely through the dense forest, like a hunter chasing her prey, following at a distance that was neither too far nor too near, ready to follow it all the way to its nest and then harvest the biggest target.
Although Lin Wei did not show it, Yaezakura knew that he was shocked and angry about Anna's accidental injury.
And she would be angry because of Lin Wei's anger.
Therefore, she would never let that guy go and must make him pay a sufficient price!
Yaezakura thought to herself, but her face remained calm as always. Her sharp gaze penetrated the layers of obstacles in front of her, and one hand always held the hilt of the sword tightly.
At this moment, Yaezakura looks more like a swordsman or a warrior, rather than the gentle and pleasant shrine maiden.
"Ok?"
Yaezakura stopped again. The space here seemed a bit cramped due to the pressure from the tall trees.
"The target's breath stopped here, could it be?"
Yaesakura murmured to herself in confusion, bending down slightly and raising her alertness to the highest level.
In the direction behind Yaezakura, there is an area covered by tangled tree roots and low bushes, which has always been a favorite hunting ground for small predators.
At this moment, there is a seemingly inconspicuous kitten lurking here, staring at its prey quietly with its big cat eyes, waiting for the opportunity to strike.
Originally, Stan just planned to retreat to the mountains to lick his wounds before returning to the base to report to his master, but the animal's naturally sensitive instinct made it realize that it seemed to be being followed.
This clever cat never doubted its intuition, but quickly remembered that when it was wandering around, it often teased the mice it hunted in this way; it had also been teased in the same way by those strong stray dogs.
So, Stan got angry.
It is now completely different from what it used to be. After paying a heavy price, it has gained great strength and is no longer the poor stray cat that was on the verge of death.
So, it decided to eliminate the ignorant guy.
Stan saw the opportunity when Yaesakura had her back to him, and he leaped out like a cheetah. The collar around his neck flashed red, and the moment he leaped up, he transformed into a ferocious giant beast, pouncing on the slender figure like a hungry tiger.
"boom……"
"Roar!"
Having just suffered a loss at the hands of the two Valkyries, Stan no longer dared to underestimate the pink-haired girl in front of him. He used all his strength from the start, waving his sharp claws with such immense force that he could easily tear apart huge trees, and pressed down on Yaezakura like a mountain.
Yaezakura sneered, not even considering the hunting wits of these beasts. With a simple bend of the waist, she passed between the sharp claws of the cat in a flash of lightning, leaving only the sharp sound of the wind passing by her ears.
Dodging the front claws, Yae Sakura turned around in an instant and drew her sword. The scarlet demon sword flew out of its sheath and pierced into the cat's "soft" belly. The giant beast, which was charging forward with unstoppable momentum, was almost ripped open, and purple-red blood gushed out like a fountain.
"Ow..."
Stan's massive body crashed to the ground, rolling and crushing a cluster of trees. Without the dense canopy blocking the view, the bright sunlight could finally cast its warmth onto the dim earth. However, Stan had no intention of appreciating this beautiful scene, only to wail miserably and painfully.
How could this be?
The hunter and the prey change in an instant.
Yaesakura's counterattack was too fierce and too deadly, leaving it no time to react before it was defeated.
Stan looked up at Yae Sakura in pain. The girl was now bathed in brilliant sunlight, appearing divine against the surrounding darkness.
