Owl

Late at night, there was still a brightly lit window in the parachute company building. Passersby who saw it couldn't help but sigh: "It's really a big company. It's so busy. They work overtime every day to develop new technologies. No wonder I can't get into a big company."

If he were more familiar with the layout of the parachute company's building, he might realize that the window belonged to the marketing department.

In a studio of the marketing department, a dozen people sat around a table, their eyes all focused on the electronic screen, gazing at the beach nearest to the palace.

"Chris, is this the new marketing plan you mentioned?"

Chris moved her finger slightly and pressed the remote control button. The scene thousands of meters away was split into different perspectives and then appeared on dozens of small screens. She smiled and said, "Yes."

"But there is only one beach here. What's the point of releasing No. 018 in Area B?"

Chris moved the cursor to one of the small screens and said, "These people ran to the coast in the middle of the night and might drown."

The subordinate was puzzled: "So what? Let them become food for No. 018?"

"No, on the contrary, 018 has the night vision of a cheetah and is extremely sharp. It escaped when we first took it out for adaptive training, just to save someone who was about to die at the seaside--"

She smiled and paused for a moment, "Isn't this worth promoting?"

The subordinate was puzzled: "But will anyone believe it? Most people would think that wild animals hunt humans, not save them, right?"

Chris seemed to have heard something very interesting. She laughed "hahahaha" for a while, then she took out a bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet, asked the intelligent robot to pry open the bottle cap, and then took a big sip with great interest. With the remaining scarlet color on her lips, she said:

"In this day and age, do you think they still use their brains? Electronic pets, entertainment, and consumption have already eaten their brains clean. Honey, believe me, the more sensational the news is, the more people will believe it, and the better the propaganda effect will be. If we only make some conventional advertising news, they will think there is something else going on."

"Besides, I have already cut off all the surveillance nearby and blocked all the signals. There will be no counter-evidence against us."

"Don't you want to take this opportunity to introduce our real technology? I'm tired of only promoting electronic pets or one or two irrelevant itching medicines at exhibitions. Those things under the building are the meaning of our parachutes."

The subordinates nodded in admiration: "Should we control it first? To prevent it from hurting those people before it is staged and photographed."

Chris stopped her subordinate. She stood in the shadows, and no one could see the strange smile on her face. "Wait a minute, I need it to help me kill someone, someone who is dangerous to the parachute."

Her eyes were fixed on a corner of the screen, her heart was beating very fast, and her whole body was shaking with excitement. The so-called promotion for the parachute was only a secondary purpose, or an excuse. The more important thing was to eliminate this fish that had slipped through the net!

She could see Luo Chen walking on the soft sand of the beach, one foot deep and one foot shallow. She seemed to have noticed something and looked back occasionally, but soon continued to move forward because she had gained nothing. She was unaware of the danger that was about to come.

And high in the sky behind her, No. 018 had already quietly flapped its wings.

Some people worriedly asked: "Will she find out?"

Chris said confidently, "No, 018's wings are from an owl, the quietest flying bird in the world. The wings used by 018 have been improved to reduce noise. Unless she has inhuman hearing, she won't be able to hear even the slightest sound."

Everyone's attention was focused on the girl on the screen, wanting to see how she was captured by No. 018 and torn into pieces!

.

On the quiet beach, Luo Tan looked back again, but there were still silent sand dunes behind him.

So, maybe the monster isn't actually here?

This is also possible. After all, the two overlapping points on the map may be hundreds of meters apart, and the position marked by the red dot may also deviate.

However, just as she breathed a sigh of relief, she heard the system prompt sound.

She looked at the system screen, but she was almost scared to death——

[Ahhh, that monster with bird wings is grabbing me! ]

She turned her head suddenly and just avoided the monster's claws that were about to grab her shoulder. The monster failed to hit her and used its original speed to dive directly towards Xu Cheng who was walking nearby.

When Xu Cheng heard Luo Tan's voice, he was shocked and turned around quickly. He moved very quickly and rolled backwards cleanly, barely avoiding the monster's clutches.

Several voices in the studio questioned: "How could this happen?" "It's fine if one of them could avoid it, but how could both of them avoid it?" "Was 018 really silent during its flight?"

Chris's expression was not very good. Although as the marketing director, these people in front of her were nominally her subordinates, but maintaining her leadership authority was also very important.

She said reluctantly: "It may be a coincidence. After all, she has looked back and forth so many times before, it is not surprising to bump into it once. And-"

She stared at the small screen, a confident smile on her face again: "Even if they dodge once, what does it matter? Can they dodge several times?"

At the same time, on the beach, Luo Chen was staring at the monster flying in the air, ready to attack again at any time, and he was thinking of a countermeasure quickly in his mind.

The air is indeed an excellent position to launch a surprise attack. In other words, as long as this monster still controls air supremacy, they have to be on guard at all times, otherwise, if they make a slight mistake, they may be caught in the air and fall to their death.

She suddenly felt the dagger at her waist.

It was still the one Andre gave her. She picked up the dagger when she left the spider tunnel. Today, after listening to Xu Cheng talk about the troubles that Heige encountered, she took it with her.

[If I use this dagger to throw, I can only try once at most, but I may not be accurate, and if I miss, I will be in trouble.]

[If I throw it to Xu Cheng, will he understand what I mean? He won't think I threw it wrong and throw it back to me.]

[Forget it, never mind. I hope Xu Cheng knows to use it to throw wings! ]

Just as the monster dived down again and launched a new round of attack on Luo Tan, Luo Tan shouted to Xu Cheng: "Go on! Throw your wings!"

Although she shouted this, it still tests Xu Cheng's ability to react in an extremely emergency situation!

Xu Cheng reacted extremely quickly, as if he had expected it, he reached back and grabbed the handle of the knife!

Immediately, he stared closely at the monster rushing towards Luo Tan, took a deep breath, and threw it hard with all his strength!

Luo Tan was confused. She hastily dodged the monster's first charge, but this time the monster was obviously smarter and was about to grab her a second time. The monster, which had already observed the target in the air, no longer hesitated and was about to grab Luo Tan's eyes with its claws. If this attack succeeded, she would be injured even if she didn't die.

In the last few thousandths of a second, Luo Tan's heart was empty, and he only uttered a complaint:

[I shouldn’t have been on a mission with a police officer who hadn’t applied for a gun! Why didn’t he bring a gun at such a critical moment?]

Immediately afterwards, the monster's wings were pierced directly by a dagger. The monster let out a mournful cry and could no longer support its flying posture. It fell from the air and landed just in front of Luo Tan.

Luo Chen patted his chest, calmed himself down, and then praised Xu Cheng: "You reacted quickly, and cooperated with me very well."

Xu Cheng shook his head, too embarrassed to tell the truth.

But he was not good at telling lies, so his face turned red all the way to his ears.
