Silence.
Silence was the Cambridge of tonight.
I waved my hand, not taking away a single cloud.
Silence.
Silence in capital letters.
No one spoke.
Except for the three who had just arrived, barely considered living beings.
That cat was still chattering.
It was hard to imagine how a cat could convey the feeling of three hundred ducks.
"I say, Little Hill, why haven't you contacted us for so long after you came here?"
"That's so mean, meow~"
"Oh, right, who are these guys?"
The white cat flicked its tail and walked to Duan Chen's feet, tilting its head to size him up, as if assessing something.
Then.
Duan Chen almost watched with his own eyes as the white cat that came to his feet revealed an extremely disdainful expression on its face.
It spoke in a particularly sarcastic tone, leaning towards a Korean comic style.
"No way, why is it such a frail human?"
"Little Hill, what are you doing?"
"I can't feel any strength at all, it probably can't even beat a bodyguard. What's the use of someone like this? And this one looks even weaker, it'll fall over with a gust of wind."
Duan Chen, who couldn't even beat a bodyguard: ...
Jun Ci, who would fall over with a gust of wind: ...
Although it had a white cat's body, it had a man's face, which made it seem even more detestable.
The white cat was about to say more, its imperious attitude was infuriating, but before it could utter its next sentence, it was lifted up from behind by its body being dragged.
Hill shook the white cat's soft body.
She said with some displeasure.
"You can't talk like that, Fatty."
Fatty.
These three words had an exceptionally powerful destructive force.
Everyone couldn't help but stifle a laugh.
"Pfft."
Duan Chen couldn't help the smile on his face.
He leisurely, with amusement in his eyes, looked at the cat stick that was being held up and had gone completely stiff.
"Fatty?"
"What a nice name."
"Meow meow meow!!"
Fatty was so angry it erupted in a string of curses.
But unfortunately, due to excessive anger, it spat out cat language.
After a long while, Fatty calmed down.
It fiercely slapped Hill's face in return, but it had intentionally been careful not to leave a mark, not extending its claws.
Fatty was furious.
"I told you not to call me Fatty in front of others, just call me Little Tu."
Hill then suddenly understood.
"Okay, Little Tu."
Fatty had failed powerlessly.
"Damn it, you've already called me Fatty, what's the point of calling me Little Tu now?"
The two of them gathered together, like a pair of pranksters in a Japanese comedy.
Hill leisurely squeezed Fatty's neck.
It was hard to say how a young girl could hold a white cat's body and a man's head in her arms, and even be able to pet it. This scene was quite shocking to others.
Duan Chen forced himself to shift his gaze away from Hill's embrace.
If they didn't know better, they would think they were a bunch of perverts, all staring at the young girl's chest.
But then again, there wasn't much to see, as it was flat and smooth.
Even an airport should have some curves.
He casually changed the subject.
"Speaking of which, everyone accompanying you are all uncanny creations, right?"
Hill smiled.
"Yes."
"Captain is indeed Captain, truly knowledgeable."
"Uncanny creations?"
Yuan Qingqing and Yuan Yuan weren't very clear about what this meant.
Jun Ci, who was nearby, had heard some whispers through his channels.
Seeing Duan Chen so interested in teasing the scarecrow, he had no choice but to explain.
"So-called uncanny creations are made by connecting external mechanisms to a certain part of the body with objects produced by the uncanny."
"Whether it's machinery or other life forms."
"Essentially, they are humans created, but their inner selves have already subtly changed and can no longer be entirely called human life forms."
"All uncanny creations have a particularly obvious manifestation."
At this point, Jun Ci stopped talking.
Because he didn't need to say more, everyone else could figure out what it was.
Yuan Yuan nodded with some understanding.
His gaze was complex as he looked at Hill.
Then he turned to look at Monsalia.
"So, is Monsalia also an uncanny creation?"
Jun Ci glanced at Hill and nodded again.
"It's the essence of an uncanny creation, there should be no mistake."
Otherwise, how could a person accept having so many organs removed?
This had fundamentally changed into something uncanny.
"I see."
Yuan Yuan said thoughtfully and began to ponder something.
Duan Chen, for some reason, felt a bad premonition, but after looking around, he found no apparent problems.
He was still staring at the white cat in Hill's hand.
The white cat lunged at him with its teeth bared.
"What are you looking at, you foolish human male."
Has it fundamentally stopped considering itself human?
Duan Chen mused.
The dog-headed maid next to them let out a beautiful mature voice and chuckled.
"Young Lady and gentlemen, are we returning now?"
As they were about to return, Duan Chen suddenly remembered something.
Duan Chen surveyed the number of people present and frowned sharply.
"Wait, the number of people here should be enough. Then who is staying at the exit?"
The scarecrow's mouth emitted a mechanical voice.
"Please rest assured, sir, the one walking here is not my main body."
"I will remain at the exit, awaiting all of you."
"Please proceed towards my location."
"I will be waiting at the exit."
The others also breathed a sigh of relief.
If that were the case, then it was fine.
Otherwise, who knew what might happen.
Yuan Yuan awkwardly scratched his forehead.
"So, are we leaving here now?"
Leaving here was certain.
Duan Chen looked with a complex gaze at the cube pattern on the back of his hand, which no longer shone brightly, but its presence was so distinct.
He nodded.
"Let's leave."
Upon hearing this, the scarecrow's face immediately broke into a smile.
"Please follow me."
Its sharp claws cut through the air, creating a black hole-like passage.
"Let us journey forward together."
"There will be some turbulence during the spacetime traversal, so please do not leave my vicinity within two meters."
"Then, I shall begin."
