Why it never ends

Chapter 169 The Gleaner

Avinash was about to answer "No", when Victoria already said to herself, "Oh, I forgot you went to the coalition government a long time ago, you probably haven't heard of it."

When talking about these topics, Victoria was always in high spirits, but Avinash felt a little uncomfortable—this woman always interrupted him suddenly before he finished speaking.

Victoria's accent itself has a strong fourth district style, which makes it difficult for Avinash to follow what she said immediately. It takes a second or two to digest a sentence before comprehending the general meaning, and her The speed of speech was so fast that it was already a bit close to Chiba-this further slowed down his reaction speed in the conversation.

"This is the code name of a certain 'deformer', right?" Avinash tried to win the round, "I guess you used to—"

"Your is really clever," Victoria sincerely praised, and she handed back the used scarf to Avinash. Harmless' aberrant. It doesn't like to be near the living, instead, it's only interested in the dead."

"why--"

"Because it only likes to pick the galls of dead people," Victoria liked to talk about these issues, and after guessing Avinash's question, she happily replied again, "You don't know why it picks the galls. It's gutsy, but that's how people collect it anyway.

"Because it looked like an old woman when it was alive, and the way it bent over to pick the gallbladder looked like a farmer picking wheat ears in the field, so we gave it this name.

"Originally we should kill it immediately, but because its behavior is so special, the headquarters sent us two drones under consideration, allowing us to track and shoot from a safe distance. Of course, the premise of all this It is to ensure that it does not pose a danger to any other human beings.

"In the two months we've been following him with a drone, he's avoided all the villages along the way - yes, he's careful to look at a map, just to avoid human settlements, even though his powers can easily Kills a lot of normal people easily, but it behaves like a misanthrope who has no interest in anything."

Avinash felt that the topic was a bit off topic, "That's really special, but it's not the same as—"

"Once!" Victoria's voice raised slightly, and she overcame the voice of the other party, forcing the conversation forward, "Once, when the 'Gleaner' was sitting and resting on a tree stump , a wasteland traveler suddenly appeared about 200 meters in front of it.

"I was very worried because it meant we had to be prepared to hunt him to avoid him doing something that could harm innocent people ... and guess what, he avoided it himself.

"She hid behind a big tree and looked at the traveler from a distance. She just watched the traveler sit down on the stump she had sat on. The traveler also looked at the map and took off his shoes and shook them off. It took a long time to get up and leave... When she came back, she would pick up the leaves on the ground and wipe the tree stump before sitting down, isn’t it amazing?”

Avinash's expression became indifferent again, "The price of confusing 'she' and 'it' is huge, ma'am."

"Oh, indeed." Victoria nodded in agreement, "This is not an example."

"What does the 'Gleaner' you mentioned have anything to do with this case?"

Victoria laughed, "The 'modus operandi' I said earlier is very similar, right? In the end we killed it in an abandoned factory. Although its original body was old, this chelated The thing is really giving us a hard time - because it is very good at using the factory floor to hide, just like the 'assassin' did last night.

"'The Gleaner' walks very quietly, and is always easily covered by the footsteps of other quicksilver needles. Not only that, it has knocked many holes between the wall panels of the workshop and the ceiling of the lower floor and the upper floor , which suddenly increases the difficulty of hunting inside the building - sometimes you are about to catch it, but when you dodge, it doesn't know which direction to run.

"Fortunately, it had reached the limit of its survival time at that time, and it could no longer support its long-distance escape. However, considering its strong counterattack ability at that time, the headquarters still sent us an extremely experienced helper... …It was an unforgettable experience that we ended up annihilating it with zero casualties.”

"Really, luckily." Avinash responded casually—it doesn't seem to have much information.

Victoria raised her hand again and touched her neck, "Don't you think the mark left by the 'Assassin' last night is very special?"

"No, I only felt threatened. This time I used lipstick to scratch my neck. Will I change it to a dagger next time?" Avinash looked away, and he planned to end this unpleasant conversation as soon as possible , "I am more concerned that if it can easily threaten your life, AHgAs may issue a recall order for you soon."

"Maybe? Since the current behavior of the murderer does not appear to cause any serious social harm, and it is not a certain fact that it is a 'deformer'... then there is a high probability that the headquarters will not be willing to take the risk of letting us continue to garrison, after all This could put us in danger."

Avinash pricked up his ears—that was the crux of the conversation.

"So when are you going to withdraw?"

"Not withdrawing for the time being."

"..." Avinash looked sideways in surprise, "AHgAs is willing to let you take this risk?"

Victoria smiled, "As you can see, the progress of the case last night was not updated synchronously - the headquarters should not know that the murderer left a mark on each of us when we were unprepared, and neither did I." I plan to tell the higher-ups... you also hope that we can stay, right?"

"Indeed," Avinash nodded, "It's always good to have more helpers."

"Then please keep silent on this matter between you and the police station, especially don't disclose these details to the AHgAs workstation in Tan Yi. If it can be done, then I optimistically estimate that this matter can be delayed for at least half a month. "

"Of course we will keep silent, but I still want to make it clear that the decision to stay is your personal behavior," Avinash said lightly, "Although we may be potential beneficiaries, we have no obligation to keep it secret for you."

Victoria suddenly laughed, and she patted Avinash on the shoulder vigorously. Before Avinash could react, she had already turned around and stepped into Rishi's ambulance.

"Let's go!"
