Chapter 5 Missionaries
The strange monster, this is the first impression the other party left on the crow. This creature is indeed human-shaped, but no human-like. The gray-green skin is wrinkled against the surface of the body, like mud covered with algae in the swamp. Some parts of the skin have even cracked, like big grinning mouths, but not bright red muscles below, but black, and it is impossible to tell whether it is a muscle. The only thing the crow feels glad is that there is no stench that the rotten wound should be from the cracked skin.
The ugly appearance is not inferior to the skin at all. The other party has no hair and is bare. On the gray-green face, one eye is several times bigger than the other, his mouth is abnormally tilted to one side, and his nose does not exist at all. There are only two black holes where there should be a long nose, making a harsh sound from the hole.
If it were just like this, it would be just ugly. What's even more strange is that there were two shrub seedlings growing on top of his head. It can be seen that the shrub was not placed casually. The roots were immersed in the skin of his head. It should have been deeply pierced into his skull and completely integrated with him. The seedlings grew well, green and vigorously active. In addition to the location where they grew, they were very ordinary, and in sharp contrast with the humanoid creatures below it.
If this appearance was in the local area of Four-Leaf Star, the timid people might be frightened and limp when they saw it in the middle of the night. However, at this time, the pedestrians passing through the street looked like they were used to it. It seemed that they were residents from some world, especially the energy flowing in his body that was completely different from the source energy of Four-Leaf Star, which fully illustrates this point.
The green-skinned creature was on the sidewalk not far from the crow, asking what the pedestrians passing by. Unfortunately, everyone who was pulled by him shook their heads and left, and no one answered his questions.
The crow knew the reason very well. If he had been, he would shake his head and leave because... he couldn't understand a word about the other party's question.
Yes, the language of the green-skinned creature is very different from that of the Four-Leaf Star, and even the pronunciation rules are completely different. It should belong to the language of their own world. Therefore, no one knows what he is saying, and the sound is as harsh as saw wood. In addition, if it is because of the racial nature, his speech speed is extremely slow. A seemingly simple pronunciation often takes half a minute to say, so most of them don’t even have to finish listening to his words, and then shake their heads and leave in a hurry.
"Hey, don't be irritated, what are you going to do?" The passerby who was grabbed by the crow stared at him and said dissatisfiedly, "I'm about to be late, so tell me if you have anything to do."
He had a good temper and didn't even scold anyone. The crow pointed to the green-skinned creature and asked, "Who is this?"
"The mutants in the wasteland world." Passersby asked in surprise, "You haven't even seen mutants? You're new."
"Well, new." The crow nodded confidently and asked, "mutants?"
"Yes, it seems that it is a mutation caused by the outbreak of genetic modification technology. I don't know much about the specifics."
"Huh?" Hearing the genetic modification technology, the crow's body suddenly stiffened, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and he said with a smile, "It turns out to be a mutant, so what is he talking about?"
"How do I know? I can't understand wasteland words." The passerby rolled his eyes and said, "I guess he was asking for directions. No one understood the questions. How do you answer him? Who told him to come over without a translator?"
"No one with so many people brings a translator?" Raven did not ask what the translator was, and he could guess it. However, while blurting out the question, he had already reacted, laughed and shook his head, "No need to answer, no one will take it."
Yes, it would be too stupid for anyone to take the translator out in his own world without any trouble.
Ignoring the passerby who had run away from his hand, the crow looked at the mutant's futile efforts thoughtfully, not because of excessive curiosity, but because of the other party's situation was too interesting.
It was just a mutant who was asking for directions, but the crow found at least six sights staring at the mutants from different positions. These people had very professional techniques, and their vision rarely fell directly on the mutants, but always hovered around the green body. Unless they had been trained for a long time, it would be difficult for those who were stared at to find their situation.
It seemed that there was a lot of fun. The crow licked his lips in anticipation, moved a few steps sideways into an alley, and peeped in secret with the cover of shadows, not only peeping at mutants, but also every monitor who was discovered by him.
This guy is not simple. Even the lineup of the stalking is so luxurious. The six monitors are all energy controllers, and there are at least three second-level energy controllers. One of them has an energy intensity that is even close to level one. With such a large array, the picture is definitely not small.
"What secret is hidden in you? It's worth so many people staring at you." leaning against the wall at the entrance of the alley, the crow fell into thinking, "It seems really interesting. Should you join in the fun?"
"Don't meddle in other people's business." People kept coming and going at the entrance of the alley, giving the crow a good protection, but just as he was patrolling several surveillance officers, a suppressed voice suddenly appeared beside him.
The person who spoke was actually a long time ago. Although the other party was a powerful person, he was just a very ordinary passerby, and he had no signs of any connection with this matter. He was just passing by normally. Therefore, the crow did not pay much attention to him. Unexpectedly, he lowered his voice and issued a warning until he passed by, saying and warning that later generations had walked over. There was no pause in the whole process, as if the short words were just illusions.
No, the crow knew it was not an illusion, because while sending a warning, the other party glanced at him, with no emotional ups and downs, and his attitude was natural, just like the words just now were not warnings or threats, but just saying a fact.
"The Yellow Bird is behind." The crow narrowed his eyes and showed a quiet smile. Although he knew that the other party was facing his back, he still waved to the other party's back, "Let's go, I don't want to be a cat killed by curiosity."
The crow left without hesitation, and did not look at the mutant again, and soon disappeared into the crowd on the long street. However, no one noticed that the swing of his arms when he walked was a little stiffer than before, but the difference was too small and it was difficult to find. No one noticed that while the other party glanced at him and warned him, a translucent crow simulated by pure source energy soared from the other end of the alley, and in a blink of an eye it mixed into the flock of crows that just flew past and hovered among the buildings.
"Tsk tsk, sure enough, it's still very hard to maintain the soul image for a long time. I hope it's worth it."
The soul image is a unique ability after the energy intensity of the four-leaf star-controlled energy control person reaches level 2. When the soul image is displayed, all or part of the body will temporarily transform into the appearance of the strange beast that directly causes the energy control person to awaken the source energy. At the same time, it will have many special abilities. However, when the soul image is displayed, a large amount of energy is consumed. After that, every additional second is maintained, the source energy reserved in the soul will be quickly lost. Even if the soul image of the crow is special, it will cost a lot of money to maintain the soul image state for a long time.
However, although the inside has been consumed, the crow showed a relaxed and comfortable state, holding the suitcase in one hand and putting the other in his pocket, gently kicking the door of the lost fast food restaurant with his toes.
Yes, lost fast food restaurant.
After leaving the surveillance site, the crow did not look back, and did not have to look back. He went straight forward. Not long after, a huge yellow M-shaped sign appeared in his sight. Although he always felt that the style of the sign was full of boring bad taste, the crow still walked in.
It was really lively. There were at least dozens of people sitting in the small business hall. Between the dense tables and chairs and diners, several waiters wearing roller skates were swimming like fish, running with sweat and wind under their feet. The store was extremely noisy, but even so, a huge roar could be heard from time to time. It was the tall store manager standing inside the counter. The bald head had almost reached the ceiling of the counter. His burly figure might cause mobility difficulties, but at least it could make his deafening voice spread throughout every corner of the restaurant.
"I don't like it's so noisy." The crow shrugged and found a few empty seats to sit down. As soon as he sat down, a small metal square box flew over and stopped beside him. A flash of light appeared above the box, and a realistic holographic projection of food appeared in front of him. The ingredients, cooking methods, and... prices were also carefully indicated next to it.
"Can I... order only one cup of water?"
As soon as I saw the price, the crow felt that his blood vessels were beating violently. He just clicked the wrong number. The price of fast food was almost ten times that of the outside. Is it still good quality and cheap? So who can tell me how much it should be? Shouldn’t I have the idea of immigrating to the Seven Realms Capital from the very beginning?
Although he was roaring wildly inside, he still kept his left hand in his pocket and ordered a few times on the box with his right hand. In fact, the cheapest package is pretty good, well, really good.
However, the metal box did not respond at all, and each person confronted him blankly. A few seconds later, the crow finally sighed like he accepted his fate, and counted out several notes and stuffed them into the box. The box then floated away and threw the crow that was secretly tilting the middle finger at it behind him.
"Okay, let me see what's special here." While swallowing food like other diners, he looked around at the fast food restaurant. There seemed to be nothing strange. While thinking about this, the door of the fast food restaurant was pushed open again, and five strange mermaids walked in.
The appearance is not surprising. It is just ordinary four-leaf humans. What’s strange is that their clothes are exactly the same. They are all dressed in a gray robe with one-piece body. The hood cover cannot see the appearance clearly, giving people a very mysterious feeling.
"It's you missionaries again." Although it was the first time that the crow saw these people, others had seen many of them. So the roar of the store manager rang again, "I warn you that I can't stop you from preaching, but as long as a guest complains about your harassment, I will ask the sheriff to drive you all away."
Unfortunately, the five missionaries were not scared, and bowed neatly to the manager, then spread around and walked towards the diners around. The manager could only wave his fists threateningly, turn his head and spat heavily.
"Praise the great Source Energy God." This is the unified guide of the five missionaries. Their missionary methods are tactful. If the diners faced with impatiently waved their hands at them, they would consciously leave and look for the next target. Once the diners showed interest in chatting, they would hand over a printed missionary reading book, and at the same time take out a small device to activate it and put it on the table. Then a two-way sound insulation barrier rose, which isolated the noisy sound in the restaurant, so that the missionaries could quietly describe the greatness of Source Energy God.
"Praise the great Source Energy God." Today the missionaries seemed to have bad luck, and not many people were willing to listen to their nonsense. Soon, one of the missionaries walked up to the crow and handed over the church reading book.
