Chapter 1259: NO．163：Still pretty scary

NO．163：Still pretty scary

In fact, Aomo, who had already made up his mind to cross the 'localization' warning zone, really had no need to bring along Chao Cang Lu and Mi Yu, these two burdens.

He didn't even need to personally run around, which at first glance seems smooth but actually isn't very efficient.

The AI Three Goddesses can notice every trace left on the internet, and the real Three Goddesses can easily loom over an academy.

But Aomo couldn't even be bothered to try contacting them, and hadn't even thought about it.

This isn't because the guinea pig‑ification 'memory loss' made him forget something so important; rather, he suspects that whatever lets Sai Luo be so mysterious might not be a small matter.

What does 'not a small matter' mean? It means these two sets of Three Goddesses likely already knew from the start, because they are monitoring everything about Tressen on both the real and network levels.

Although not absolute, because the genuine Three Goddesses aren't bound by AI programming, they aren't particularly diligent, often going out traveling, leaving only the eldest to look after the home.

But even if they slack off, an Ultraman warrior like Sai Luo should naturally be a key surveillance target; Thus we output: Thus we output: QiuChuan, the director who colluded with Aomo to publish that day's race records, was, under their very noses, repeatedly making moves against Sai Luo, naturally aiming to also put him in the trainer position.

It's hard to assume they're unaware; once we don't assume that, we must consider the fact that this lot says nothing—not even the AI Gadfen Arab who recently came to visit the demon guinea pig mentioned Sai Luo at all.

Even though it's an AI, the thought processes of strong artificial intelligence are truly no different from those of living beings; Aomo's first consideration is the possibility that these beings are all colluding.

In that case, there's really nothing to worry about; he could simply ask them to pass along a message.

But obviously…

This concerns Sai Luo Ultraman and a certain horse‑girl, and a certain demon finds it hard to resist curiosity.

So he strode through the forest with Chao Cang Lu and Mi Yu.

At this point, Xiao Lu and Mi Yu still thought they were moving quietly and carefully, barely qualifying as stealth, but the reality is harsh.

Aomo bringing them along is itself a probe, gauging the goddesses' reactions to ascertain their attitude.

This is also a bait—compared to those with rich combat and infiltration experience who know how to restrain their aura, Sai Luo, whom Aomo can detect with monster power even without concealment, and Jie De, who makes no effort to hide, would simply become the most eye‑catching target of all.

Just as the alien sees Da Gu, and Aomo at first sight to Tressesia, to Sai Luo he appears like a waypoint on a mini‑map, visible from afar.

At this point, he naturally needs to come over to deal with and drive them off.

Similarly, at this moment, if it were someone like Bi Ze who harms others for no self‑gain and drags his brothers into embarrassment, Aomo would most likely have his identity exposed, becoming a bigger laughingstock and also a minor opportunity.

But Xiao Lu is a good kid.

Mi Yu is also a good kid.

At the end, when the two good kids are dealt with and driven away by the cunning adult (questionable), at most they see the guinea pig wanting to speak but stopping, ultimately saying nothing.

Meanwhile, the adult who says, 'I'll look after you for a bit and return you soon'—a suspicious, possibly bovine‑evil figure—will take the guinea pig, whose detection net and psychic probing show no abnormality, deep into the forest surrounded by layers of mechanical devices.

The layered installations create a large signal‑shielding zone, and together with the raised barbed‑wire fence's edge they form a concealed detection area capable of instantly identifying the biological information of anyone who steps in.

Besides that, there are hidden miniature cameras in the woods, and the specially camouflaged cables link up with other alarm systems to reach a medium‑sized terminal at the area's center.

It's quite abrupt.

Before, the rear mountain had nothing like this, although the last time I came to the rear mountain it was still the same as before.

I don't even know how long it took to build such a base……

Ace… Ace‑brother actually has this kind of ability?

Looking at it this way… perhaps Gilbalis's data corrosion could still be effective……

No… that coating material seems like something used at airports…… can it get through?

Can't it? Gilbalis's corrosion strength is… what was it again?

Can it? Can it?

Being grabbed by the neck by Sai Luo, he passes the detection zone and warning line, entering what seems like a special‑forces training base, and also resembling an Amazon rainforest undetectable by satellite—this demon guinea pig, with its dark eyes, scans the scenery of the small base; his thoughts aren't particularly clear, and his mind jumps more the more he sees.

But at least he can recall why he's here now, so he remains silent.

He hasn't yet seen that super‑dark‑horse Ace‑brother, and is still being gripped by the neck by someone from Iga Li… is it him? Seems like the real Sai Luo? —and so he merely counts down broken seconds in his mind, wondering how long the memory‑recent dose of medicine—just injected a few minutes ago—will keep this unpleasant train of thought going.

"Hey, isn't this little brat a bit weird?"

"This corner looks somewhat familiar, and it even has scales? Are your pet mice here all that special?"

"Really? I've always been impressed by the aesthetic trends of the earthlings here."

As for the question of who he's talking to, Aomo already has several contradictory options in his mind; he merely shakes the thing in his hand symbolically a few times, then, like he's about to bury his head and lick his fur, he looks toward the silver metal hidden in his own down.

He felt a bit confused.

And his body, having been lifted by someone, is being swayed back and forth toward the distant girl in training‑garb who is kicking a specially made wooden post.

"Ace! Take a break! Come over and look! I borrowed this pet mouse from Jie De—it feels pretty good, want to try?!!"

"Huh? Borrowed… a… pet mouse……?"

This remark seemed to rob the girl of language comprehension; her gaze was utterly baffled, but the moment she saw the guinea pig, it turned into an urgent, overjoyed plea.

"Guinea pig? A custom‑made, little‑demon‑style guinea pig!!?"

"I've heard this kind of pet is hard to keep and easily gets smelly."

"This one doesn't stink? I sniff… oh! Wow, you don't even want me to sniff it." Nimbly dodging the unexpectedly sharp little claw that sliced the air, Sai Luo gave an appreciative smile, though he had no intention of actually sniffing it.

Rather, with his humanoid‑mimicked senses, if he relaxes a bit he doesn't need to get close to smell it; but then he'd have to deliberately distinguish the odor.

"You can't be that rough with the guinea pig, Sai Luo‑san—you've got to let go first!"

"Exactly, you've got to let go first." Someone chimed in, annoyed.

"Ace, are you speaking? Your voice sounds better…… more……" The fading‑voiced Ace, together with Sai Luo, looked at the mouse in his hand.

"Druid?"

"Or a wizard? Ah, Sai Luo‑san, you can't do that!"

Compared to Sai Luo, who almost let go, the one who hastily cupped both hands around it—Gechengwangpai—remained comparatively calm.

Even before she was snatched up by aliens, she had already traveled far and wide, seen plenty of fun and strange things, so a source‑energy cultivator disguised as a guinea pig wasn't unacceptable.

Anyway, the transformation is real, and the fluffy feel is real too!

But she saw the other party slightly rise to its feet, shaking its head in a human‑like way.

"No."

"I am Aomo Lindun, hello."

"Waaah!!"

"It seems even the ace who's been all over still has something he can't accept."
