Chapter 36
"Rarely touches-grass man," Chloe continued.
Amber sighed, "Such a shame, I was a bit curious about him."
"Karl might spend his time watching anime, or even worse... he watches anime on pirated sites." Chloe explained.
The two Homo Obscura women didn’t suspect Karl. Despite their unique abilities and different brain waves from regular humans, they were still just regular gossip-loving women,
"I still wonder who originally changed the rules of this world. So many traffic accidents back then," Chloe said while organizing snacks.
Amber stood in front of the cash register, "Me too. It’s weird, in a few minutes it’s like everyone’s brains were hijacked by something, I once saw a man in an accident looking calm and nonchalant even though he was bleeding, he walked calmly towards the ambulance."
Chloe chuckled while shrugging, "Maybe that guy was just too chill or totally resigned to his fate." She continued stacking snacks neatly on the shelf, but there was a vague suspicion hanging in her mind.
Amber tapped her fingers on the cashier’s table, looking pensive. "But these different brain waves... they’ve been appearing more often lately. Somehow, it feels like there’s something trying to control people. Changing how they think, or even how they react to the world."
Chloe looked at Amber, her expression slightly more serious. "Do you think someone is purposely doing this? Changing the rules of the world? It sounds like a conspiracy theory, but I can’t deny that something strange is happening, even we are a bit strange actually."
Amber nodded in agreement. "Yes, and what’s even scarier, if that person is around us now... maybe they don’t stand out at all. Maybe they’re just a regular-looking person, like Karl." She mentioned that name with a hint of sarcasm, but there was hidden concern behind her tone.
Chloe smirked sardonically, "Karl? The dude who rarely touches grass? I doubt he could do something like that. Even his brain waves are like a weeb who stalks female cosplayers at some indoor events."
