Wang Tong nudged Tee's elbow and reminded her to avoid unnecessary attention.
”Hi, we are the workers on the Ark, restocking our supplies.” Wang Tong announced to the armed police as he took out worker ID.
The police turned on the skynet and compared the ID with his screen as a smile crept onto his face. Tee knew that the police had recognized Wang Tong, the champion of the tournament.
”Ah...Mr. Wang Tong, please feel free to explore our city.” The police handed Wang Tong's ID card back ingratiatingly.
As Wang Tong reached out his hand, the police's finger grazed Wang Tong's palm. Suddenly, Wang Tong felt something was odd about this policeman. But a half second later, the thought was gone.
After the policeman walked away, both Wang Tong and Tee heaved a sigh of relief.
The near escape had ruined Tee's day, so she plodded back to the maglev and was ready to head straight back to the dock. Suddenly, Wang Tong's face blackened as realization dawned upon him.
Tee noticed Wang Tong's overwrought face, so she asked, ”You don't like this place either, do you?”
”Tee, how long are we going to stay here?”
”We have to wait for the meeting to finish, so I would say at least three days. Why? You want to sneak off the ship again?”
”What meeting?”
”Do you really think we are here to restock supply? Samantha is in the meeting with the mayor of the city right now to discuss very important political issues. You can save the effort of worrying about the details since it's way beyond our pay-grade.”
”STOP!” Wang Tong suddenly shouted out.
Tee pressed on the break out of instinct, bringing the car to a jarring halt. ”Wang Tong, what the hell is going on? Stop yelling like this!”
”Tee, something is not right...not right...”
”What are you mumbling!”
”I'm talking about that policeman. He is not a human!”
Wang Tong's words disheveled Tee at first, and then she was amused with the foolishness setting in. ”Haha! Are you kidding me? I agree that these space dwellers are kinda weird, but they are not aliens?”
”No, I am serious. I have used the soul -scan on him unconsciously while our hands touched. He is not a human! ”
”Soul-scan? You mean—”
”Yes, the same ability I use to diagnose problems in the METAL suits. I had been using it on everything lately, and I can tell a human from a non-human based on their soul energy imprints.”
”Maybe he is a cyborg. It's pretty common nowadays.” Tee said. She had never seen Wang Tong being so stressed out before.
Wang Tong didn't answer. His mind raced as he suddenly remembered that he had seen a similar soul energy before. It was during the tournament, on the Zerg-human hybrid. ”I think he is likely another hybrid.” Wang Tong announced.
The hybrid monster had been the focus of the public's attention for a while. However, since Patroclus eliminated it before it could do any real damage, so people quickly forgot about the incident. The origin of the hybrid still escaped the public; some believed that it was a new mutation of the Zerg while others thought that a faction within the Confederation had created the monster.
