What's going on?
Looking at the incomprehensible handwriting, coupled with her "equipment," it was really too outrageous.
I carefully observed the floor she had scraped and discovered that although it looked very smooth, in reality, every time the cleaner scraped the floor again, a slight green streak was left behind.
And this green mark would be completely unnoticed unless you looked closely.
Like a hammer, it slowly spread across the road.
I stared at the somewhat eerie green mark, and was about to have a brief mental conversation with the Thunder Strike Sword, but just two or three seconds later, the green mark disappeared!
Holy crap.
I continued to stare at it carefully, but all that remained was a very smooth layer of asphalt.
It feels soft when you step on it, like a saturated sponge.
Just then, the dew-covered branch in Yiyi's pocket suddenly moved, and Yiyi slowly took it out to examine it.
The leaves, which had initially looked somewhat wilted, actually bent slightly toward the direction of the green mark.
When I saw this, I was completely stunned.
Could the dew-covered branches and these green marks be related?
In that case, it seems we've directly reached the very core of the matter.
To be honest, we came to this shallow level precisely to find something that can cure the Dew-covered Branch.
Even if we find the sea marrow, it's still a search, but these green marks are already attracting the nearly lifeless dew-covered branches.
Just when I thought we had reached our destination, Yiyi instinctively clutched her pocket and said, her voice trembling slightly.
"Brother, this green mark... there's something wrong with it."
Just then, the woman who had been motionless suddenly stopped moving. Then, she propped up the broom and dustpan in her hands and slowly turned around.
When it rotates, not a single joint in the entire body makes a sound; it's like a rigid wooden board moving horizontally in place.
At this moment, Yiyi and I were able to see her face clearly.
It had a completely translucent long face with a pointed chin, while its body was covered with a dense network of tubes.
What looked strange beneath her orange work clothes was quite eerie.
I was even afraid that in the next second, all the tubes inside the cleaner's body would come out one by one, and he would rush towards us, baring his teeth and claws.
Thinking of this, I quickly grabbed Yiyi's wrist, looked around at the road, and already decided which way to run.
After all, it's good enough if we don't get involved with this kind of thing. If we get entangled with it, we'll probably suffer real consequences even on a superficial level.
Even if we keep running away, this thing will probably keep chasing us.
If she were immortal like that guy in the deep water, wouldn't that be even more of a headache?
She stared cautiously at the cleaner in front of her, but the tone of her muttering changed.
This time, the voice was very rough, and if heard from a distance, it even sounded like a man's voice.
"Look... it still needs to be scanned..."
This wasn't the mechanical repetition we just heard; it was a separate sound!
This sound actually has a slightly sharp vibrato.
At first glance, the voice sounded like a haunting ghost, making me feel quite uncomfortable.
Besides talking, she was also busy with her hands, and you could see that she slightly raised the hand holding the broom.
The newly applied floor mat was pointing directly at us, and the slime from its edge began to drip onto the ground.
When it dripped onto the ground, it instantly corroded several tiny holes!
It looked harmless just now, but it's actually corrosive.
Shouldn't cleaners be maintaining the hygiene and safety of this area? Why are they causing damage instead?
Buzz!
Lei Jijian didn't wait any longer. With a shout, a blue-white arc of electricity flashed through the air, immediately displaying a magnificent display.
That kid really came at the right time.
I silently praised him in my heart. To be honest, I was afraid that if Lei Jijian hadn't made a move at this moment, the woman would probably have dripped the sticky liquid from the broom onto us.
The green light within the woman's body suddenly tensed up upon sensing the energy of the lightning sword.
Then, it trembled slightly twice, and I could see very clearly that the small tubes were entangled very deeply.
After a simple twisting motion, the densely packed tubes returned to their original arrangement, and the woman seemed to receive some kind of instruction; she was no longer as arrogant as before.
Instead, he started saying the same things again.
"Sweep it up...recycle it..."
The woman slowly turned around, and this time, her movement seemed to give me a very natural feeling.
It seems like that's all gone. That shifting motion she just made, for a moment, even made me think she was a normal person.
Was it scared by the lightning sword?
In my opinion, she was somewhat impacted by the energy of the lightning sword.
I briefly transmitted my voice to Lei Jijian, who looked extremely proud.
"I think this guy is acting suspiciously, he's nothing special."
As soon as Lei Jijian finished speaking, the cleaner seemed to sense it and continued scraping the empty ground, her speed indeed doubling!
Holy crap.
Since entering this shallow water area—no, since entering this Dragon Palace—this guy was the first to sense the presence of the lightning sword's energy!
But the first one was a half-human, half-ghost creature?
I glanced at the cleaner with some surprise.
The green trails on the ground were growing thicker and thicker, and her hands were moving faster and faster, her feet following the direction of the broom with small, quick steps.
Honestly, it looks like a spider weaving a web.
Lei Jijian was also somewhat surprised by this sudden attack.
I carefully sensed the area around this person and indeed felt a trace of black energy!
However, when I used my Heavenly Eye to look inside this person's body, I didn't see a single trace of black energy.
That's a bit strange!
Not only that, but this person also had virtually no malice.
I briefly explained the situation to Lei Jijian and asked him to conduct an examination on the person.
After all, under normal circumstances, Lei Jijian's perception ability is also very strong.
In some special environments, his perception may even surpass mine.
“Master, when she pointed the broom at us just now, I felt a distinct, strange energy!”
Moreover, it was probably precisely the little bits of sticky sap on her broom that caused the dew-covered branches to react!
I was somewhat surprised, but my gaze was fixed on the broom handle of the cleaner.
Indeed, the slime on the edge was still dripping.
