Eli was so worried that he lowered himself even lower, wanting to touch Noah deeper.But the innermost layer of mucus had already begun to harden. He could only touch a solid, eggshell-like object. The "eggshell" felt warm to the touch, and he could feel a strong heartbeat if he stuck it carefully.

Eli was a little relieved.

He squatted beside Noah, wiped off the mucus on his hands with a towel, looked at Noah, who had almost maintained his previous figure, and sighed.

When will this "eggshell" break?

And after such a long time, wouldn't Noah inside feel hungry?

Eli went to check the refrigerator full of Noah's favorite food, and then unpacked and washed all the bedding in Noah's nest, and it was very difficult - Noah started to get heavier again - to move it In the attic where it was born, the sun outside is as tepid as it was on the first day it came to the "dinosour" bar, casting a black shadow on the floor through its sticky and lifelike slime.

"Good afternoon." Eli said, "I hope I can cook you a big meal when I wake up."

The warm location in the attic seemed to make Noah feel extremely happy, and bubbles frequently appeared in its mucus, like the snot bubbles blown by a child when he was happy.Eli always felt that he could feel Noah's subtle emotional changes, so he couldn't help but smile, and began to look forward to Noah's appearance of "breaking out of his shell" again.

Maybe its wings could grow back again.thought Eli.

He whistled a few times, changed his scarred arm for medicine, and then did some simple housework. In the evening, he went downstairs once to go to the carpenter in town to buy a new one for Noah. food bowl.

Although the town is much deserted than in the past, it will still be lively for a while in the evening after dinner. Many people are walking along the trail under the sunset, and those who have pets even bring out their dogs. , Human voices and dog barking mixed together, slightly dispelling the shadow brought to the town during this time.

When Eli passed by Henry's house, he saw three men in casual clothes standing at his door from a distance, one was knocking on the door, Henry opened the door soon, one of the men showed some ID, and then entered Henry's house.

Eli didn't pay much attention at first, and walked a few steps towards the carpenter, then suddenly stopped, with a thump in his heart, and ran home.

Among the three men, there was one whose back was extremely familiar to him.

Eli quickly returned home, moved Noah back to the bedroom after basking in the sun for an afternoon, thought for a moment, and stuffed it under the bed, then went to the yard to pick out a few wooden boards, and put the hollow bed underneath. All were nailed up with wooden boards to pretend to be a solid bed, and then the sheets were put down to cover it tightly.

The things that belonged to Noah at home were almost cleaned up last time, and Eli hurriedly sorted out the items again, and then ran out again, instead of going to the carpenter's house, he went to a shop that sells pets.

The shop owner was sitting at the door, basking in the sunset and nibbling sugarcane. Noah was sweating and out of breath. Without asking anything, he went straight into his shop and pointed at the biggest wolf dog inside.

"Boss, I want to buy this."

The boss was frightened by his appearance, holding the sugar cane in a daze for a while: "...Oh, okay, this big guy sells for 200, it is very healthy, I have been vaccinated."

Eli directly put the money on the cash register, together with the dog's chain, took the dog and went out.The shop owner also followed behind and reminded him about the feeding matters for a while, and Eli complied perfunctorily, and drove the dog towards the bar.

From a distance, he saw the three men standing at his door waiting for him.

Eli led the dog and walked over slowly. The three of them were one tall and two short. The tallest one was wearing casual clothes and wearing sunglasses that covered most of his face, revealing only a small half of his porcelain-like delicate face. , he looked impatient, his pale rose-colored lips were slightly pursed, his hands were in his pockets, and he leaned against the door.

This is a face that anyone can never forget, and of course Eli also remembers it.

It's Dr. Gordon.

Eli didn't look at him too much, pretended not to recognize him, led the dog to them, and asked hesitantly, "Who are you?"

One of the short men smiled kindly, with a very polite attitude, and said, "Hello, Guizhen has not been peaceful a while ago, we are just doing a routine inspection this time."

As he spoke, he took out his ID card, which contained personal information and a police badge.Like any normal person, Eli looked suspiciously for a while: "Did something happen again?"

"No such thing, don't worry, it's just a routine inspection." The man said helplessly, "You also know that we are under a lot of pressure because so many things happen in a row."

Eli sighed, opened his door cooperatively, and made a gesture of invitation: "Please."

The man thanked and gestured to the people around him, and the two entered Eli's house separately.But Gordon didn't go in immediately, his extremely conspicuous emerald eyes were hidden under the sunglasses, and he looked at him calmly.Eli led the wolf dog past him, and he asked, "Your dog?"

Eli knelt down and patted the wolfdog's neck. This dog was also very good, and licked his palm enthusiastically: "Yes. I was very unlucky to be captured by a tyrannosaurus a while ago, and I will buy it after I come back. I bought a wolf dog to look after the nursing home. Are you also interested in dogs?"

Gordon didn't speak, his dark glasses concealed his expression.After a while, he turned around and walked towards the bar with his usual arrogant attitude.

Eli didn't dare to pull the dog any further, for fear that it would be frightened by Noah, so he comforted it in a low voice, tied it in the yard temporarily, and followed Gordon into the house.

They searched very quickly. The two men had already searched the entire bar, the basement and the parking garage, and went up to the second floor.Eli stood in the corridor with some reluctance, and asked, "The second floor is where I live, do you want to see it too?"

"Yes, please understand." The man said with a smile.

Eli had no choice but to open the door. The house that had just been sanitized was very tidy and clean. Several people searched separately. Gordon took out something similar to a life detector, walked around the living room, and then went to his bedroom.

As soon as he entered the bedroom, the thing in his hand turned on a green light. Gordon glanced in the direction pointed by the shoulder of the green light, and saw Alice sleeping in the nest.

He started walking around the bedroom.

Eli stood at the door with a heart in his throat.He wasn't sure why Gordon suddenly appeared in the town, and he wasn't sure whether he came for Noah or for scp.1. Was the thing in his hand a special detector for dinosaurs?

There was a slight cold sweat in the palm of his hand.

"You look a little nervous," Gordon whispered in his cello-like gorgeous voice, "nervous about what?"

Eli was taken aback for a moment, and the cpu in his brain was soaring to the extreme at this moment——he then smiled awkwardly, and said in a rough voice: "Sorry, you always remind me of some bad memories... you know , I narrowly escaped from under a Tyrannosaurus rex, and one of your investigators was kind of like that."

Gordon curled his lips.

"is it?"

Eli smiled apologetically and said nothing.Gordon had walked around the entire room and stopped by the bed where Noah was hiding.

Eli tried hard to control his desire to look at the bed. Gordon seemed to have noticed something, and walked back and forth very close to Noah for a while, then suddenly bent down and lifted the bed sheet hanging to the ground.

Under the sheet is the bed board.solid.

Gordon pursed his lips again, shaking the instrument in his hand, looking rather disappointed.Soon, he put away the equipment and walked out of the bedroom without looking back. The other two men were already waiting in the living room. The three exchanged a few words, and Gordon left impatiently. go down.

The short man thanked Eli politely, followed Gordon, and left from his house.

Eli watched them go to the next house from the balcony, heaved a long sigh of relief, took out a tissue, and wiped the sweat from his palms.

He turned on the computer and glanced at Aiwen's "diary", which didn't mention any information about Gordon's raid. It seems that Gordon's coming to town is likely to be hidden from their military region.The experimental product he lost and recovered escaped overnight. Did he doubt the statement of the military region?

Eli frowned deeply, and stood on the balcony until it was completely dark, around six o'clock. Two men followed Gordon and passed by his door quickly. After a while, a car The low-key luxury car drove onto the road in the town, and disappeared into the night as quietly as when it came.

Eli went downstairs to untie the wolfdog, fed it a delicious meal, patted its head to thank it, and then let it temporarily live in the small den in Noah's yard, thinking I will take it back to the pet shop tomorrow at dawn.

With Noah, the vinegar spirit, raising another male wolfhound would be a disaster.

After settling down the wolfdog, Eli went up to the second floor, knocking down the boards one by one with some serious thoughts, trying to move Noah to the den again.But after touching it for a long time, he didn't feel Noah's body, but felt the slippery hands instead.

Eli's heartbeat rose sharply, and he hurriedly got a flashlight with a little excitement, lying on the ground and shining it under the bed.This photo didn’t matter, he saw that in just a few hours, the bottom of the bed had become a “spider nest”, and the slime that had turned into silk threads woven the entire bottom of the bed densely, and Noah in the middle became Something in the shape of a long strip has truly become a "cocoon".

Eli watched carefully for a long time, always feeling that the brand new Noah would "break out of the cocoon" in the next second. He was emotional all night, and he still couldn't sleep in the middle of the night. From time to time, he took a flashlight to look under the bed. , but until midnight, Noah still did not move.

Eli's enthusiasm slowly wore off, he began to feel tired, and Gordon's unexpected visit added some troubles.He got into bed, patted the mattress, and sighed.

"Come out, Noah, I'm so worried."

After speaking, he closed his eyes, turned over, and fell asleep in a daze.

This sleep was not very peaceful, and not long after he fell asleep, he dreamed of the big bad wolf and Little Red Riding Hood again, but this time he hugged not little Noah, but a large piece of mucus that was almost the same size as him .The slime also changed shape, pinching itself into a humanoid shape, wet and sticky, nestling in his arms like Noah's, licking Eli's face back and forth with its warm tongue.This feeling was so real that in the dream Eli turned over and over again and hummed unhappily.The mucus in his arms hugged him in turn, and buried his face in the back of his neck with some aggrievedness.

Strange, Eli thought in his dream, can a slime still feel wronged?

There was an incomparably real warm sticky feeling from the back of his neck, he was stunned for a while in his sleep, and then he opened his eyes suddenly as if awakened from a nightmare.
