Azathoth stood face to face with a black panther. The panther stared at him for a while, lowered its head and stuck out its tongue to lick his calf.

"..."

The zoo staff thought he was frightened, and hurriedly said: "It won't bite, we have professional training methods, visitors don't have to worry about their personal safety at all."

The leopard raised its chin and looked contemptuously at the surrounding humans, walked gracefully to the shade of a tree, and lay down motionless.

There was a small exclamation beside Azathoth. Wearing a pink wig, Wendy held a marshmallow bigger than her head in her hand, and couldn't help saying, "It's so cute!"

Hugo sighed and walked to the rest area to sit down: "I think my joints need to be lubricated." It was not interested in the animals at all, looked down at its elbows, and moved its arms twice, "I always feel that these two The parts are a bit old."

Erica followed him like a tail, and asked, "Is it because you're too busy at work?"

Hugo immediately looked up and looked around: "Shh, no one employs child labor. I've been making some small toys recently."

It took out a small frog from the pocket of its sweatshirt, squatted down and put it on the ground when no one was looking.The moment the hind feet touched the soil, this lifelike little animal instantly 'lived', its black and white protruding eyes turned around, and its cheeks swelled into the grass.

A drowsy snake coiled on the stone platform quickly got up and took a look. After a while, it seemed that this thing was not edible, and then lay back lazily.

Erica opened her eyes wide.

"Do you want to see more?" Seeing her dazed look, Hugo immediately became proud and eager to try.

"how is it like?"

Hugo cleared his throat and snapped his fingers.A few seconds later, a man in a traditional black suit came out and bowed to Hugo with his hands on his chest: "Master."

Erica: "..."

Hugo, I didn't expect you to be such a Hugo.

The man bent almost ninety degrees attracted the attention of many passers-by. Erica heard many families with children pointing at them and whispering.Resisting the urge to turn her head back immediately, she asked, "He... is he human?"

A mischievous light flashed in Hugo's eyes, and the 'person' standing next to him turned his head ninety degrees while maintaining a fixed posture, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "I'm not human, Miss Erica."

"I decided to call him Williams." The black-haired and red-eyed bionic man controlled Williams' head and turned back, and said happily.

"Damn it." Gresham, who had adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose to telephoto mode, suddenly cursed, "Is this man a member of a circus?"

The Beta young man standing next to him trembled when he heard the words. He didn't wear glasses, and he was holding a bunch of strange professional equipment in his hand: "What's wrong?"

Gresham glanced at him. "Do you often go to horror movies?"

"...I don't even dare to watch 2D horror movies."

Gresham laughed narrowly. "I knew it, Bod, you wouldn't even go to a slightly exciting magic show."

Bod blushed, and he changed the subject awkwardly: "We should be getting close to Wendy Sullivan."

"Who would have thought she'd be at the zoo on the weekend?"

"The Capital Zoo is very popular, especially after the revision of the business model." Bertie said earnestly, "The survey shows that more than 70% of people between the ages of 10 and 20 come here every other month on average. Experience untouched jungle life.”

"Yeah, it's uncomfortable to stay in the city, and I have to go to a place full of bird droppings and horse droppings to make myself uncomfortable." Gresham said as he took two steps forward, bypassing a tree with four trees. The big tree hugged by five adults continued to search among the crowd, "Can't you pinpoint the things in your hand?"

"Uh, no." Bod said, "There are too many people here, and the jumptail lizard's domestication level is not too high. After it finds new prey, it refuses to continue tracking the previous delicious food."

"Hmph, a little thing that loves the new and dislikes the old. Then we can only find it slowly... But the Capital Zoo is so big, how long will it take just for the two of us?"

"All the drones have been sent out, and we are doing a little carpet search according to the plan. I will check the video and screen the suspects as soon as possible. The zoo has a ticket purchase record, but Wendy can't have come in through formal means, so look up her name. It's not necessary." Bod was not very confident, "In short, it may take some time, but because the non-disclosure agreement can't block the entrance and exit of the zoo, the key point is to keep a low profile and don't startle the snake."

They are in an artificially imitated natural ecological environment. Behind them is a virgin forest like a tropical rainforest. If they walk two steps forward, what they see is an endless vast plain, and in the distance they can see the shadowy snow-capped peaks. mountains.

There is an easy-to-walk path built in the middle of the rainforest, but most people don’t follow the rules. Although the zoo officials don’t recommend them to explore unfamiliar environments without the company of professionals, people who have been keen to die since ancient times Will not follow orders.

Of course, Gresham and Bod were doing something different walking through the forest path. They were not tourists, and it was inconvenient for others to see them.

"Oh, I saw someone I know." Gresham said suddenly. For a moment, he forgot his position and straightened up. As a result, he bumped his head against a tree branch above his head and hissed in pain, "It's Ford Hill The little girl at home, Annie's friend. Maybe the kid next to her is her classmate?"

Previously, the focus was on the man with the unique neck-twisting skill who was suspected of being a butler, and he noticed Hugo. After observing for a long time, he said: "Should I ask Annie to remind her friends to avoid dealing with those ignorant people in the capital?" Contact with the dandy young master?"

Bod flipped through the video without looking up: "It has nothing to do with us."

"That's right." Gresham said, "But I get annoyed when I see this kind of young master who can only cheat Omega's feelings with his rhetoric."

"...have you ever been cuckolded?"

"It was I who discovered the despicable nature of that Alpha wittily."

"But your boyfriend ran off with her anyway," Bod muttered. "Poor."

"Grass," said Gresham emphatically.

He raised his thick brown fingers and pushed his glasses, and changed the angle uncomfortably, and this time he spotted more people.

"Family of three? Absolutely, and the man in the black cloak is pissed off, and his boyfriend is a good-looking guy, but he's circling around him like a bee trying to cheer him up. It's not going to work, Bod, talk When you are in love, you must stick to the principles. Who is right and who is wrong is very important. Even if the partner is furious, you can't bend your spine and become a licking dog..."

Bod interrupted his thoughts: "I think I already know how you fell out of love, Gresham, and can you pay attention to people of the right age?"

"I'm watching," Gresham said. "The children around this sweet and sour couple are about the same age as Wendy."

"Male and female, what do they look like?"

"Maybe it's a man... or it could be a woman. I can't see clearly, and I can't tell the difference with the clothes. I have short pink hair. God, it must be dyed, but my ex-boyfriend said that pink makes black, so it is true. .”

"Of course it's true, although looks are more important... no," Bod punched himself. "You say the kid has dark skin? How dark?"

Gresham took off his glasses and put his bear-like hand on Bod's head and put it on the other's head. "I've never been able to tell the shade of foundation, my dear partner."

Bod squinted for a moment.

"I think we can observe and try." He hesitated, "Or I continue to flip through the video, and you go to say hello and chat?"

"But Erica has seen me, and I sent her back, and said that I am from the Holy See." Gresham said, "It's embarrassing to show up again, otherwise you go, I'll watch the video."

"Oh." Bod showed a worried face, "Don't touch the key, or the restart will start from the beginning, contact the mobile terminal if something happens."

After speaking, he walked out of the jungle on his slender legs.

"Hello."

Igor was talking to Azathoth in a low voice when he suddenly heard a tourist next to him say hello.

He looked up to see that it was a young Beta with straw blond hair, freckles, and who looked like he hadn't graduated from college.

"Hello." Igor said politely but not enthusiastically, "What's the matter?"

"I want to say," the young man stammered, pointing to a small light blue flower in Azathoth's hand, "this flower, uh, is usually a companion plant of the Agavor snake, and it is highly poisonous. If you try to leave the area or take it out of the zoo, you may not be successful and you will be fined."

Igor was a little surprised: "Thank you. But we picked it up next to it, it has been picked off by someone else, and my boyfriend is trying to put it back."

At least Gresham was right about that, the two of them were indeed a couple.thought Bod secretly.His eyes fell on the man who wrapped himself up even for another visit to the zoo, and the man didn't say a word, didn't even look at Bod.

Gresham was right again, the man was probably sulking.

"That's good." Bod said quickly, "My name is Bod Abraham, and I'm a graduate student at Colliro University of Technology in the capital."

Igor looked back at Azathoth again, and then he said, "Bradley."

Bod acted a little nervous at Azathoth's indifference, which didn't require acting at all because his face and neck were already flushed from the strange approach, and he looked down at the pink-haired man holding Cotton Candy Girl.

Wendy, who happened to be wearing a punk-style jacket, leggings, and a pair of semicircular sunglasses, also turned her head to look at him.

The color of her lip gloss today is also pink.

Bod felt his heart flutter.

Gresham got at least one thing wrong today.

He thought, although pink looks black, it also depends on who is applying it.

"Who are you?" Wendy, who looked very unruly, asked vigilantly, "What are you looking for with my brother?"
