Chapter 155: Monster Painter (2)
Tut returned to the base as if he had something on his mind, and with the help of the communication station, he found a series of information about Mr. Shan Ming's previous works on the Internet.
drop--
The automatic door slowly opened, and it was Team Member Mitsuha Haruna who came on duty, holding a cup of steaming black coffee. Seeing that Tut was still in the command room, she was a little surprised and said, "Team Member Tut, why don't you go to rest so late?"
Tut was concentrating on looking up the information he had found and didn't even glance at Yang Cai.
"I'll look up some information."
"Huh?" Yang Cai looked at Tut with a puzzled look on her face, then walked to Tut's side and saw him carefully browsing some colorful art paintings. She couldn't help but smiled and joked, "I didn't expect Team Tut to be interested in these paintings."
As if he was too absorbed in what he was doing, Tut did not respond. So, driven by curiosity, Hina's eyes fell on the painting, and then her smile disappeared immediately.
"Huh? These paintings are so weird."
"There is a chameleon hidden in each painting, and the eyes of these chameleons seem to be staring at the same place." The overly strange style of painting made Yang Cai feel a little creepy. She asked, "Team Tut, why are you looking at these things?"
Before Tut could answer, the sound of a phone suddenly rang in the originally quiet command room.
"Drip drip drip!"
Haruna quickly picked up the phone and answered, "This is SKaRD."
No idea what the other person said, but Haruna's expression froze visibly.
"..."
"Yeah, yeah, I get it."
Tut asked curiously, "What happened?"
After hanging up the phone, Hina looked at Tut seriously and said, "We received a report from the public that a monster appeared in Sukagawa City."
SKaRD launched an emergency attack. Three minutes later, Luo Bingyang and Bei Miao drove A, and Tut drove β, and flew towards Sukagawa City at full speed.
soon--
Two planes rushed to the scene of the report, but after a week of patrolling, they found no trace of the monster, and not even any signs of damage to the city.
"This is Victory Swallow A, reporting back to base, no monsters have been spotted in downtown Sukagawa."
"This is β, and no abnormalities were found in the suburbs."
"The satellite hasn't detected any abnormalities either." Catherine replied.
In the command room, Hanyu Xiangyu listened to the team members' reports and fell into deep thought. After a while, he looked at the team member Mitsuha Haruna who was on duty tonight and sounded the alarm, and asked, "Team member Haruna, what's going on?"
"A citizen reported that he saw a monster near a park in the suburbs of Sukagawa City."
"Could it be that that person saw it wrong? Did he mistake his own illusion for a monster?" Catherine guessed.
"Emm..." Xiangyu sat in his seat and pondered for a moment before slowly saying, "First find the person who reported the case and ask him about the situation at the time."
"Luo Bingyang, Bei Miao, the two of you return to the base first. Let Tut handle the investigation for the time being."
"Understood." The three responded in unison.
Then, A turned around and left, leaving only β flying in the dim night sky.
call out--
Tut sat in the cockpit with a thoughtful expression on his face.
"Ow~"
Suddenly, he heard a slow and long strange sound, and then he saw a huge translucent figure in front of β moving slowly in the night. It was undoubtedly a monster.
"what!?"
The sudden appearance of the monster caught Tut off guard. He urgently pulled the control stick to lift the plane, but when he increased the flight altitude and looked down, the monster had disappeared.
"Is it an illusion?" Tutt thought it was a false alarm, but he broke out in a cold sweat.
In the morning, Tut came to the park again, where he saw the familiar scene again.
In the empty park, in front of the flower bed, an old man with silver hair is painting seriously.
Tut walked forward silently to look. The painting still showed the flower garden, the scenery in the distance, and the most eye-catching giant chameleon.
The huge chameleon immediately reminded Tut of the huge figure he encountered last night. Although he was not sure if it was real, the two looked very similar. But if you think about it carefully, what does the monster have to do with Mr. Shanming?
"Mr. Shanming." Tut stepped forward and greeted him respectfully.
The old man ignored him and continued painting. Every stroke of the brush on the paper seemed to add a dragon or a phoenix to his painting.
When the work was nearly finished, the old man showed a satisfied smile, nodded, turned his head to look at Tut, and asked: "Look, Gorbaggs, are you very happy?"
"Gorbags?" Tut once again heard the name of the pet chameleon from the old man, and his eyes fell on the new painting.
He saw that, in the same place and the same position, the colors on Gorbaggs's body were brighter than yesterday, and the style was more realistic than the painting he saw yesterday.
"Gorbags... has it always been in this place?" Tut asked tentatively, pointing in the direction of the flower bed.
"Yes, this kid waits for me here every day."
However, when Tut looked up, he didn't even see the shadow of the chameleon.
After a while, the old man left and Tut did not stay any longer.
However, after everyone had walked away, a huge figure was vaguely revealed above the flower bed, with its bulging eyes and triangular head vaguely visible.
Based on the information, Tutt found the person who reported the case last night. He was a middle-aged man in a suit and tie, and looked like an office worker.
"Hello, I'm from SKaRD." After briefly introducing himself, Tutt went straight to the point: "Excuse me, was this the monster you discovered last night?"
"Yes." The middle-aged man recalled the scene he saw last night, and his shocked expression reappeared. He said, "I was coming back from a social event yesterday, and I saw the monster on the road. It had big eyes and a horn on its head."
Tutt was taking notes. He hesitated and said, "Could it be that you drank too much last night and your eyes are blurry?"
"Impossible!" The middle-aged man denied it outright, his expression very sure. "I absolutely cannot be wrong!"
"Emm...Okay." Tut continued to take notes. But the base did not take this matter seriously. After all, there was only one witness, and the evidence was insufficient, so they obviously could not file a case and intervene.
Another day of wasted work.
Tutt clearly felt it was strange, but he couldn't tell what was strange.
Didi…
The communication watch suddenly vibrated. It was a call from the base. Tut answered: "What's the matter, Captain?"
"Tut, someone found strange giant footprints in the southern suburbs. Go investigate."
"I understand." After that, Tut turned the car around and drove through the city at a very fast speed, arriving at the place where the huge footprints were found in the southern suburbs.
At this time, the TPC ground forces had already blocked off the area.
Tut entered the blockade zone and sent the pictures he took back to the base.
