Chapter 147: Freedom or Death
Hearing this, Mr. Cat looked at Captain Ban suspiciously.
"Okay no problem boss!"
"Your answer is too straightforward," Mr. Cat said, "Aren't you going to ask about the content of the work?"
"I can't help it. Raising a baby is too stressful."
Mr. Cat sighed and said, "Is it really worth it for you to work so hard?"
"Look at my caterpillar, how cute it is!" The cat-headed caterpillar immediately poked its little head out from Captain Spotted's back and bowed politely to Mr. Cat.
"Excuse me, besides being cute, does it have any other uses?"
"As long as cats and bugs are cute, that's enough! You're too harsh."
"Then it is now just a piece of junk that can only act cute and waste your money."
Hearing Mr. Cat's words, the cat-headed caterpillar immediately drooped its head, and its two pointed ears that were originally erected also drooped down, looking pitiful, weak and helpless. Even ordinary humans would be moved by this scene. "Don't say that to it!" Captain Ban protested with a heartache. He held up the caterpillar with his two short wings and held it in front of Mr. Cat's eyes, "Look at it carefully! How can you have the heart to blame such a cute caterpillar!"
"…I'm sorry, but when I see the stupid face of the pension fund, I just want to punch it."
"You are jealous!!"
"Okay. Put away your caterpillars," said Mr. Cat. "Now, I'm going to tell you about the content of this job."
"I hope you won't be as deceitful as Boss Han."
"Hmm..." Mr. Cat wagged his tail.
"What are you feeling guilty about?"
"I'm just thinking about how to explain the background of this mission to you."
"Do you remember everything I said?"
"almost."
Mr. Cat walked in front and said seriously, "It can't be almost the same. This is related to the diplomacy between the two races."
"Okay, okay."
Mr. Cat and Captain Ban were walking on the roofs of the city. It was noon, and the sun made the rubble on the roofs look white. Captain Ban had the urge to lie on the roof and spread his feathers to sleep, but now was not a good time. Right now, he had to do the work that Mr. Cat had told him to do.
(Please repeat the mission information to me again.)
At this time, Mr. Cat no longer used vocal language, but directly used his thoughts, which showed his cautious attitude.
So Captain Ban also responded directly with his brainwaves: (In another fifteen minutes, Ambassador Luli's distinguished feet will step onto the street of the vegetable market. She will pass through this street to meet with the representatives of the Chamber of Commerce of the Elts.)
(That’s right.)
Captain Madara said: (Then on that street, she will be attacked by a certain force .)
(Yes, some unknown force.) Mr. Cat emphasized his voice.
(My mission was to protect the distinguished Ambassador Lelit and allow her to safely pass through this street and enter the Alte Chamber of Commerce under the attack of an unknown force.)
(Yes, Ambassador Lelicet must be allowed to pass safely without any harm to her.)
Captain Madara said: (I would like to ask, is the security of the Lelits not enough?)
(In fact, they had no idea their ambassador was about to be attacked.)
(What?)
(Once this information is leaked, it will cause a diplomatic incident between races, or even a war. So we must keep this news secret.)
Captain Madara stopped and said: (I never believed that you, the Eye of Supervision, would be so kind. Let me ask another question. Wouldn't you, the Eye of Supervision, destroy the conspiracy of that unknown force in advance?)
(Haha.) Mr. Cat wagged his tail.
Captain Ban looked at Mr. Cat, and then he said, "You know who that unknown force is."
"hehe."
(And once it was leaked to the Lyraites, they would also know who it was.)
"hehe."
(So why didn't you stop them in advance?)
Mr. Cat thought for a moment and replied: (First, this unknown force is closely connected to a faction of our Eye of Supervision. If we block it in advance, it will be disadvantageous to us. Second, it will be better to use this incident as a handle afterwards.)
Captain Ban raised a short wing and asked: (Why don't you send your agents?)
(Because I can't let them know that the Eye of Supervision has known about their plot and is trying to stop it. They have close contacts with the Eye of Supervision, and it would be easy for me to send agents to get to their ears. On the surface, the Eye of Supervision cannot use its official status to destroy the friendly relationship with this unknown force.)
Captain Madara said: "...Why do I always feel that this matter is full of unreliable smell."
Mr. Cat said, “Relax, this is more of an act of humiliation than an act of attacking diplomats.”
"Operation humiliation?"
"Well, it's like this. In fact, this is not an attack on the Homo sapiens race of Leoric. The ambassador has a personal grudge against an unknown force. In fact, this is just a personal humiliation against the ambassador himself. But once this behavior occurs, it will cause interstellar political problems. In summary, as the Eye of Supervision, we can neither publicly come forward to ask the other party to give up revenge, nor can we notify Ambassador Leoric in advance. This is also a headache."
A car stopped at the street entrance, and an elegant lady from Leo got out. She looked no different from an ordinary human being, as if she was an elite female white-collar worker who had just left the office.
This street is closed to motor vehicles and is the busiest street in the city. As soon as you enter the market, the noise comes like a wave. A roast duck stall's loudspeaker plays "Roast duck only 20 yuan, only 20 yuan!!" Various bargaining sounds can be heard from the stalls: "Give me 6 yuan!" "How about 80 cents? If not, I'll leave!"
Ambassador Lelit stepped into the busy street.
Captain Madara said, "Why is the Chamber of Commerce of the Altes' office in the vegetable market?"
"I'm not a real Alt, how would I know!" Mr. Cat said, "Repeat what you are going to do."
"Guard Ambassador Luelite and ensure she passes this street safely. If any unknown forces attack her, I will kill them all. If there are one, I will kill one. If there are ten, I will kill ten. If there are a hundred, I will kill a hundred!"
"Say it again? What are you going to kill?"
"Well, guard Ambassador Lelit and make sure she is not attacked and harmed, but make sure neither side can see that I am protecting her."
"Yes, we can't make it too obvious." Mr. Cat said, "Ah, that unknown force has also arrived."
Seven or eight pigeons flew over and landed in twos and threes on the telephone poles and roofs.
"Pigeons?" Captain Ban soon discovered that he could not receive any superficial consciousness from these pigeons.
"It's a bionic mechanical pigeon sent by an unknown force."
“So what are these stupid-looking pigeons going to do?”
"Each mechanical pigeon is equipped with a concentrated stink bomb. It is said that the stench can make the soul sick to the point of vomiting. Once the stink bomb hits the clothes, the only way to eliminate its smell is to burn it. If the skin is hit directly, it will take a week to dissipate even with the best deodorizing equipment."
"So what you're saying is that these bastards are going to let the ambassador be shot with a stink bomb and go to see the representatives of the Elt Chamber of Commerce with a stench? How vicious!"
"Yes, the Elts are extremely sensitive to smells. If the ambassador meets the Elts with this stench, it will become an extremely rude diplomatic incident. The Leuts will lose the initiative in negotiating the trade agreement. The ambassador will leave office tomorrow, and this is her last chance to have a meeting with the representatives of the Elt Chamber of Commerce. This meeting is crucial."
"You didn't even inform the Lulits about this?"
"Because that unknown force can influence the seats of the next Inner Circle Meeting of the Overwatch Eye."
"Then why don't you let that unknown force accomplish this task?"
"Because the Levites have a strong voice in Parliament. We can't let the Levites look embarrassed in this matter."
"To put it bluntly, you don't want to offend either party!"
"You know nothing about the factional struggles in politics." Mr. Cat slapped Captain Ban with his claws, "Go do your job well!"
…
…
Mr. Cat lay on the wall, watching Captain Madara appear in the market without any sense of disobedience. Now no one would ask the repeated question "Why is there a chicken here?" Captain Madara walked through the crowd, keeping a certain distance from Ambassador Luli.
"Huh?" Mr. Cat was stunned. He said to himself, "Why did that stupid dog follow me?"
Lao Guo’s dog Caicai quietly appeared behind Captain Ban.
At this time, Ambassador Lulit and her assistant were walking slowly towards the Elt Chamber of Commerce. The lady's clothes were elegant and simple, combining local and interstellar fashion. Her face was calm and solemn, and it was obvious that even during this short walk, she was thinking about the content of the next meeting.
The office of the Aerte Chamber of Commerce is a general store that can be found everywhere. Next to this general store is a fish food development company on the left and a seafood wholesale store on the right.
Ambassador Lulit is currently about twelve meters away from the store.
The bionic pigeons approached the lady calmly. It was obvious that they were waiting for the ambassador to be on the verge of reaching the Chamber of Commerce before they would drop the stink bomb on her.
(They're about to start! Quick!)
Captain Madara had already walked to a chicken coop in front of a live poultry vendor, which was filled with live chickens for sale. Captain Madara suddenly opened the door of the chicken coop and the chicken crowed: "Brothers and sisters! For freedom! Run!!!"
The chickens swarmed out of the coop one by one.
The chicken stall owner screamed "Ahhhhh my chickens are running away" and jumped out to chase the chickens. Under the crowing of Captain Ban, who would rather die than be free, the chickens scrambled to escape from prison. A passerby pushing a bicycle was pounced on by a chicken, and he fell down screaming. The bicycle fell towards another stall, knocking over the vegetable stall. The cabbages, radishes and carrots on the vegetable stall rolled down one after another, directly blocking the way for a cargo tricycle.
People started screaming and arguing with each other.
A dog also joined the commotion. The dog rushed over and pounced on the leader, Captain Spotted. After Captain Spotted dodged, the dog pounced on the stacked pigeon cages. After a chase between the dog and Captain Spotted, the meat pigeons waiting to be slaughtered in the pigeon cages flew out one after another.
"My pigeons! My pigeons!" the pigeon stall owner shouted, picking up a net bag and attacking the pigeons on the roof. For ordinary humans who have no discernment, this naturally includes bionic mechanical pigeons. The bionic mechanical pigeons, the meat pigeons, and the flocks of chickens that kept jumping and gliding together staged a wonderful fight and pursuit with humans.
The vegetable seller had an argument with the stalled tricycle owner. She accused the tricycle of crushing her fallen cabbage. The tricycle owner refused to apologize, and the two of them completely blocked the busy street. "Why don't you leave?!" "You have to pay for my vegetables!" "You stepped on my radish!!!" "If you want to leave, step over my dead body!"
"My chickens!!!" "Catch these chickens!!!" "Someone come and catch these pigeons!!" "You stepped on my fucking foot!!" "What are you pushing for? Are you in a hurry to reincarnate???" "Is the person in front of you just stopping to shit right where he is?"
In just two minutes, the road was completely paralyzed. Angry and turbulent people crowded the road, escaped chickens were jumping everywhere, and soon the ducks and geese in the cages were released to join them. Over the heads of passers-by, pigeons chased by vertical poles were circling. After a while, a mechanical pigeon caught in the net threw a stink bomb in self-defense, which was like a signal, and more stink bombs exploded in the air.
The horrible smell spread across the street like a tide, and passers-by were almost suffocated by the stench.
“What’s that smell!!”
“I’m suffocating!!!”
A passerby suddenly shouted, "This is the smell of hydrogen sulfide! It's poisonous! People will die if they breathe it in! It's a leak from a nearby chemical plant!"
"poisonous!!"
"Everyone run!!!"
People were in complete panic. The original noise turned into screams of people running for their lives. People pushed and shoved and screamed. Green vegetables and bamboo shoots were swept to the ground. Radishes and Chinese cabbage were trampled to pieces by passers-by. The feathers of chickens, ducks, geese and pigeons fluttered in the air. Bicycles were thrown aside and tricycles turned upside down. Running away became the only wish in people's hearts.
…
…
Ambassador Luelite and a white cat in clothes poked their heads out of the grocery store and looked out. "What are these humans doing?" muttered the white cat, which was the general representative of the local Alte Chamber of Commerce.
“I really don’t know how it came to this.”
