Chapter 137: Disguised Machines
Even though everyone knew that Tang Qiuqiu had become the little young master Toboâs personal bodyguard, they were all viewing it as a prank played by a disgruntled kid. There were very few people such as Castella who actually knew that Cillin and Tang Qiuqiu were members of Vanguard Sixth B Squadron.
During the few days prior to leaving âLittle Gardenâ, the little young master was as idle as ever. Since he now had a new little bodyguard, he took Tang Qiuqiu out to relieve some boredom while Cillin and the other bodyguards followed not far behind them.
Inside the small flower car, Cillin and the gray cat were playing chess.
The gray cat saw Dough and Eudy playing chess before, so it felt a momentary interest to play it too and nagged Cillin to play a few rounds with it. Admittedly, a cyborg had incredible computing power, so the gray catâs chess skills could be said to be pretty good. However, computing power wasnât the only thing thatâs required in playing chess, and in comparison Cillinâs mind was a lot more flexible than the gray catâs. That was why the gray cat was forced to play passively all this time.
Beepââ
After the gray cat stared at the chessboard with a drooped head for a long time, it shamelessly pressed the reset button.
I lost againâŠ
Cillin looked outside the window and did not bother with the gray cat rolling and tearing its own hair on the table.
After the gray cat rolled back and forth and whined for a long time on the table, but did not get a reaction from Cillin, it lifted its paw and pulled at Cillinâs sleeves.
No reaction.
It pulled again!
Still no reaction.
After getting no reaction despite pulling at Cillinâs sleeves for a long time, the gray cat turned furious and unleashed all of its anger, including the ones it had accumulated when it had lost in chess. It jumped up to the air and landed on Cillinâs head. Then, it began damaging his hair style.
Cillin raised a hand and flicked the gray catâs head. Then, he pointed outside the window and said, âLook over there.â
The gray cat spat out the hair in its mouth and looked to where Cillinâs finger was pointing at. There were people dressed in wedding suits and dresses taking pictures over there. It was nothing special; newlyweds would often visit from faraway places to take pictures here. It had seen quite a lot of such people since the first day.
âWhatâs so interesting about wedding photoshoots? Donât tell me that youâre thinking about getting married, Cillin? Hmm, if you want to marry then you should find a woman thatâs rich, beautiful, can bear children and not a wastrel⊠Mm, thatâs what Cary said. When you see him you can ask him for further details.â
Cillin pulled the gray catâs ears, âSo stupid, Iâm not talking about that!â
âWhatâs what then? Youâre obviously pointing at that wedding photoshoot.â the gray cat slapped Cillinâs forehead in dissatisfaction.
âLetâs test your eyesight.â Cillin pointed at the people taking their wedding photoshoot, âWith where the bride stands as the center point, how many butterfly bees are there in a circle of one hundred meter radius?â
âA hundred and sixty nine.â the gray cat gave the answer almost immediately, âAmong them, one hundred and thirty two are carbon-based life forms, whereas thirty seven are machines in disguise.â after a pause, the gray cat continued, âOut of these thirty seven machines in disguise, there are seven that are monitoring the people taking the wedding photoshoot, ten monitoring the surroundings including us, and twenty around Tang Qiuqiu and the little young master Tobo.â
While the butterfly bees would all appear to be the same in other peopleâs eyes, the gray cat was able to identify which ones were real and which werenât with just a single glance. Although the disguised machines looked no different from the real butterfly bees, in the gray catâs eyes, there is a world of differences between a carbon-based and a machine object. A single glance was all it needed to differentiate them.
There were no monitoring devices inside the flower cars. On the surface, it seemed like the Feniers Family placed great emphasis on their touristsâ privacy, but in reality they just had other ways to monitor them.
âNot bad. A passable effort.â Cillin nodded.
âOf course, who do you think I amâŠâ
Cillin interrupted the gray catâs self-enlightenment, âThen did you notice which disguised machines have micro weapons system in them?â
The gray cat flicked its ears and jumped down to the table from Cillinâs head. If someone was to pay attention to its eyes, they would notice that its pupils had expanded greatly while it was staring outside the window.
âI see call monitoring, communications monitoring, genotype rank analysis, laser scan, high-density energy excitation beamâŠâ the gray cat mentioned the types of systems loaded on those disguised butterfly bees in a row, âHoly meow, they even have a self destruct device!â
The gray catâs whiskers moved a little before it looked at Cillin, âI didnât notice because I wasnât looking earlier, but there are also a lot of disguised machines among the flowers, and the soil as well! I just saw a machine disguised as an earthworm, and a few machine ants as well! Isnât this amount of spy devices a little excessive? Doesnât this mean that theyâre monitoring us this whole time?â
âIt is as you say. The Feniers Family has a lot of protective monitoring going on here. But this is not necessarily a bad thing for us.â Cillin pulled this gray catâs whiskers once and asked, âWhat do you see?â
It was exactly as he said. While there were disguised machines everywhere monitoring everyone around the area, this made life much easier for the gray cat as well. This was because it was able to tap into the disguised machines monitoring images without being discovered by the Feniers Family.
âOh my meow, theyâre actually kissing in public!â the gray cat let out an odd cry.
A young couple was making out with each other in the flower car slightly further than fifty meters away from Cillinâs. Originally, there was no way they could see them from their carâs point of view, but the gray cat saw them through the monitoring images of the disguised butterfly bee.
The young couple had thought that no one would be able to discover their activities, but although they could not see anyone outside the window, their every action were known by a certain someone.
âYo, the girlâs skirt is being partedâŠâ
Seeing that the gray cat was growing more and more indecent, Cillin slapped it and said, âGo check out how Qiuqiu is doing.â
âHmm, Qiuqiu is playing a game, and that little young master Tobo is slapping the table and looking very angry. Heâs also yelling loudly, although Qiuqiu isnât paying him any attention.â
Meanwhile, Castella and a bodyguard-like person sat inside a different flower car not far away.
âIs everything ready?â Castella said with half-lidded eyes.
âIt is ready. However, we received news that they might do a little something. Is this not a little too risky? Young master is with us after all.â
Castella sighed, âThere is no choice. This is the masterâs intention, so we can only do our best. If we do not run into those people and everything goes well, then naturally it is for the best. If we did run into them, then we can only keep the young master stays away from the danger zone as much as possible.â
âPlease do not worry, we will do our best to protect young master. However, the people from VanguardâŠâ
âThat you do not have to worry about. I have my plans.â
After the many urges of the little young master Tobo, Castella finally ordered his men to be ready to depart.
Three corvettes would be escorting them during the return journey. Although it wasnât as impressive as when theyâd first arrived, this protection was still on a large scale compared to other people.
The three corvettes formed a triangular formation that protected the starship Tobo was seated upon at the center. Cillin was also on the starship. However, in order to avoid arousing suspicion and obeying some of the rules mentioned in the contract, Cillin hadnât come into contact much with Tang Qiuqiu. After all, Cillin had not accepted the escort mission directly.
As usual, Tang Qiuqiu held her console and played video game everyday. Tobo had been practicing his shooting skills on the starship ever since he lost to Tang Qiuqiu, but no matter how hard he practiced, Tang Qiuqiuâs comment never changed â so stupid!
She had completely picked up Cillinâs tone and words while he was criticising the gray cat (T/N: and now Cillin is a sinner as well!).
The four starshipsâ flight was rather peaceful, and they did not run into any incidents during the journey. Their next stop was not Sector F, but Sector H. Sector H was a pit stop they needed to pass through. The Feniers Family had a base there that was also the central administration of the entire Sector H. Castella had said that he had received orders to handle some work over there, and they would have to delay the return journey for two or three days. However, this time the little young master Tobo did not get angry. In fact, he was rather happy.
What was the most famous thing about Sector H?
