401 Holy-Winged Ivory Minister

Up ahead, Gao Peng could hear the sounds of human activity. Along the way, Stripey's huge form had garnered stares from passers-by in black robes who hurried past them alongside their familiars.

Probably shouldn't have Stripey out in broad daylight. He stands out like a sore thumb, thought Gao Peng. Stripey stood at least 200 feet tall, which was almost as tall as a high-rise building.

Worried that Stripey might give away their positions to the Golden Hands, Gao Peng said, "I'm sorry, Stripey, but I'm afraid you're going to have to stick to the less crowded areas for a bit."

Stripey nodded. "All right. Whatever you say, Gao Peng," it said cheerily. Gao Peng felt a twinge of guilt as he watched Stripey lumber away.
