Chapter 334: and the translation of the chapter title
"Even Miss Shi Huaiya isn't reacting much—what are you afraid of?"
Aomo sighed as he opened the car window, leaning his head out to estimate the route forward and the parking spot.
In this congested situation, he even lacked confidence in his own autopilot and the Beta motorcycle following behind.
I wonder if the autopilot AI loaded on it can actually squeeze through a gap……
As for what was just said… since he couldn't hide his police identity from Bi Ze from the start, Aomo also followed the principle that guidance is better than blockage, and he clearly explained the stakes to him on the road——
——mainly because he was afraid Bi Ze would startle the snake.
Suzi and Xin Tiao are both experts at feigning ignorance, though Suzi rarely has that motivation.
But Bi Ze… honestly, this person has acting chops, but his actual performance is rather worrying, so Aomo thought it better to conceal his identity at first.
But Bixiketuxe·Shihuaiya is indeed well-known among transmigrators, let alone that Bi Ze really was once an Arknights player; even without deliberate suspicion, one would subconsciously feel that a police officer had joined the team.
Not uttering the word 'mascot' counts as a victory for him.
Miss Shi Huaiya, who has been in this world for several months, has been forced to encounter many transmigrators both publicly and privately; now hearing those three words makes her bristle.
The compact, portable danger chain hammer she carries may also flick out blades.
Of course, even if she restrains herself from harming a civil servant's image and reputation——she could pull a lipstick from her bag and still knock Bi Ze, whose combat readiness and vigilance are lacking, flat on his back.
"The Frontier District Police Bureau has activated alteration devices at all teleportation points; we've already entered the barrier on the road, and there are security forces arranged around, though they're not directing traffic."
"You wouldn't think a gathering of this scale could be held secretly without reporting to the government, would you?"
Shi Huaiya explained the basics to Bi Ze, who had turned his head to look, with considerable patience—no surprise, given she once served as chief of the Longmen Guard Bureau.
However, the importance of a city's police commissioner is such that the governor also arranged for him to join Rhodes Island Pharmaceutical Company, along with several senior commissioners and talents of special identity or ability, to come to this world and achieve cooperative study……
That Longmen governor's magnanimity is truly astonishing.
"For the first half of the month there wasn't a whisper—who knows if this mysterious thing is an illegal gathering…」 Bi Ze muttered under his breath.
"The gathering itself is legal, but the exhibits and participants are another matter." Aomo, still looking sideways out the window, suddenly said; this keen hearing made Shi Huaiya react, her expression instantly becoming subtle.
"However, the expo itself takes place in the Aron people's extradimensional space, so even if incidents occur, they produce the same effect as in the Meta Region, leaving this suburb unaffected."
"So they only have the duty to remind everyone of this and issue warnings, without interfering in the internal exhibition—at least until an incident occurs."
Aomo said, seemingly not needing to recheck for space, and drew his head back: "Get ready—there are still eight minutes until the doors open, then ten minutes of crowded rush-in time."
"Before that, there will still be a police all‑call broadcast—" "Hold on! I feel our preparations are lacking right now!"
Upon hearing "crowded rush-in", Shi Huaiya panicked.
Even if Aomo again displayed his astonishing overtaking skills on the road, she didn't think their car could compete with those behemoths in this nasty road ecosystem.
This isn't just a license suspension—it's a total write‑off of a luxury car!
Even with money, one wouldn't waste it like this—does the higher authority reimburse?
"It's fine, we're prepared enough." Aomo said, yet he turned his head to look at the passenger beside him, who likewise had his head out the window, demonstrating a risky maneuver.
"Xin Tiao, can you make a move?"
"Huh? I can't—I'm planning to give Little Snake a surprise."
"It's not time yet." Xin Tiao said with a grin.
Even though Aomo had already guessed the lingering of his ability, this person is still stubborn.
He probably thought that even if his ability were guessed, he could still keep an air of mystery about the beast itself…… The Yuehuanshe, extremely familiar with Kailifu, guessed it and then resignedly said: "Well, then I'll do it myself."
Saying that without insistence, he lifted his hand into his pocket, and when he pulled it out again, a card had appeared between his fingers.
"There will be some jolts, so fasten your seatbelt and don't bite your tongue," he said; after a two‑second pause, the card suddenly burst forth with an almost black mist that nearly filled the cabin, accompanied by countless pallid arcs of electricity.
Accompanying the jolts he mentioned, after just a few seconds the black mist vanished, replaced only by the impenetrable darkness outside the window.
But whose phone or terminal these days can't double as a flashlight? A beam of artificial light illuminated the dark cables outside the window, and Shi Huaiya, holding her phone, instantly stiffened.
"What is this now?" she asked, turning her head toward the driver's seat; fortunately the driver was still there, and even his face showed a hint of surprise similar to hers.
"Why are you surprised!" Xiao Lao Hu clammed up.
"Although it's not my first time operating Guratlon, having it swallow us into its core is still a first, and it's completely different from directly merging with it," Aomo remarked, then turned his head toward the darkness outside the window, only then realizing, "Oh, just wait a moment."
Saying that, he raised his left hand in a sword‑finger gesture and pressed down slightly, as if flipping a switch, and countless lights suddenly shone outside the window.
That was all natural light; after a brief adjustment, one could see outside the window the original congested scene, though the view was now much higher.
"Whoa!!" Bi Ze instinctively gripped the window frame, feeling a slight fear of heights.
Aomo thought this guy ought to spend more time in high‑altitude hovercars to get over it, after all, even a decent Magic Staff would be imbued with flight magic or the like to give sorcerers sufficient mobility.
But he had to save face in front of his buddy, so he pretended not to have noticed and said: "Now you should be able to see, right? We're inside a mechanical beast right now, so we don't have to worry about the car getting damaged."
As he spoke, a large holographic screen floated up before the three in the back seat—a schematic of Guratlon's structure, to help them understand.
"I never imagined your preparations would be like this, though it makes sense…" Shi Huaiya said somewhat hesitantly, then belatedly recalled that this guy was famous for his monster power.
Learning that he was still a trainer was only from last week.
"So Guratlon actually has this open‑view function?" Bi Ze, pressing the luxury car's special‑order comfortable seat, shifted his gaze inside the vehicle, and his fear of heights also eased.
"Miss Yumeno Naomi can't use this function because her senses are covered by Guratlon." Aomo said, recalling a scene from Ultraman Orb that he had just shown the office girls, and glanced at the calm Suzi.
Even if it were a cybernetic beast, she'd still show some interest, but a purely mechanical monster is just Bourbon's thing.
Conversely, Suzi has zero interest.
Drawing inspiration from flesh and blood, seeking principles to reference for his own speed—this was Ailisuzhi's original research goal, and he has never lost it.
Thus he withdrew his gaze, feeling that this state was closer to a driver than to becoming a monster, more like a cockpit, and he took in the looks of awe, splendor, envy, and other emotions directed at the Guratlon that had suddenly sprouted from the ground.
He also couldn't help feeling a bit of the satisfaction of showing off in front of people.
Guratlon's looks have always ranked among the top of monster listings; whether or not one knows this 61‑meter steel giant, its appearance still stirs the heart.
Moreover——
Moreover——
【Sound of Galatlon, Calm Sound】
The gentle, highly infectious melody effectively lowered the surrounding clamor, and drew countless gazes.
Among them were also many waiting riders on steel iron dragons who greeted him; some were there for Galatlon, while others recognized him, who had gained fame in Heaven Gate City and repeatedly demonstrated his abilities in the Boundary Gate District's foreign lands.
Also in this process, a sudden female voice sounded, ringing in everyone's ears.
【Monster Exhibition entrance about to open, please get ready!】
Only now was it truly quiet.
But at the same time, this was the calm before the storm.
And to meet this storm, the card in Aomo's hand gradually changed color according to his blending potency.
Revealing a dark gold hue.
At the same time, his other hand had already reached into his pocket, touching the Golden Ancient Bridge card.
Output insufficient, making up with fusion; although King Galatlon's appearance draws some criticism, its strength is beyond doubt.
Especially……in this atmosphere resembling a discount supermarket.
