What character did you drop
Chapter 110 Exploring the Power Plant First
◎Avanti took a deep breath and climbed up the worm-like pipeline......◎
Afanti didn't know what to say for a while while holding the child.
Maybe it's because of his smell, or maybe it's because he's hugging him well, anyway, the little girl Mitti seems to like Avanti very much, she even dropped the bottle, twisted her soft head and rubbed towards him.
It's a little wet, quite soft and tender, and there is a little hard shell of gem snails on the top, which makes people itchy and can't help but want to laugh.
"Hey, I didn't expect the baby to like Brother Avanti!" Although the Congo uncle had eaten the "confinement meal" delivered by Ms. Taylor, he still looked a little pale and weak.
But seeing the little girl getting along well with Snail Xiaobao and Avanti, in the eyes of parents, there is nothing more gratifying than this.
──After all, at first he wanted to have another child, and that was because he didn't want Xiaobao to wait for him every time he was busy, or he could only watch other families have siblings, and then Xiaobao was alone.
Of course, Uncle Congo himself likes children very much, and his current life can also support his family to take care of another child, so he is so looking forward to the arrival of the little life.
Out of unspeakable selfishness, the little girl's physique is weaker than her brother's. If she can get along well with Avanti... Maybe she will be able to get extra care from Dr. Appie and the others if she needs it later. .
"I like my sister very much too!" Snail Xiaobao liked it so much, leaning against Avanti's side, he also used his tentacles to comfort the little girl Mitti, and said happily: "Thank you, Dad, for your hard work." Dad! I will be my sister's support together!"
"Yeah, it's finally come to an end, and the gods have granted your wish."
Dr. Appie had just handed over the baby to the two cubs, and he and Ms. Taylor quickly finished the final examination for Uncle Congo.
At this moment, while putting away the inspection tools, he cheerfully said to Uncle Congo:
"The child is very healthy, but he needs to drink special nutritional supplements for the first few months. I asked Ms. Taylor to prepare it for you, and then come here every week to get freshly boiled, so the effect is better."
Everyone in Dessert Town knows that Dr. Appie is very sensitive to medicinal herbs, and healers are very good at it. As for the use and preparation of prescriptions, Ms. Taylor is good at it. .
Anyway, the medicinal herbs are taken care of by special townspeople. If anyone needs them, just say hello, and there will never be a shortage.
So Uncle Congo didn't have any doubts after hearing what Dr. Appie said, and nodded happily, saying that it would be the same if he let Xiaobao Snail pass by if he was too late.
"I can do it! Just now I was in charge of moving the gifts everyone gave to my father and sister into the house!"
Snail Xiaobao is very self-conscious about being a big brother now, and is extremely keen on showing off and doing things for the family.
Especially this kind of showing off to the whole town that he has a younger sister. The novice brother said that he estimated that he would be able to hold out for at least a year.
"I can share half of my bed and room with my younger sister, and then I can go to the forest to pick fruit for my younger sister! Last time Aibo told me that there is a snakeberry that is very delicious, next time I will go with Avanti to pick fresh ones for my younger sister come back!"
Afanti has met many silly brothers and sisters, and thinks that Xiaobao's reaction is not particularly outstanding.
It's just that this person turned around and pulled him into the young man, which would be a bit embarrassing...
"Okay, Auntie Bijia must also know where many good things are in the forest. We can't ask the location, so I guess we can find things and exchange them with her."
The golden-tailed monkey, and living in the forest, even if the festival is coming, the forest neighbors will arrange for many people to come and go, but it must be easy to pick something.
"It's okay for these two days, but it won't work after two days. If you want it, don't delay it."
Ms. Taylor made a purring sound from her throat, and looked at the little baby and the two cubs gently with blue and golden eyes, reminding her:
"Besides, there have been more trains recently. Some tourists who have made an appointment in advance to attend the festival may sneak around the town. You should be careful not to be targeted."
Although the security of Dessert Town is very strong, even if there were tourists who tried to kidnap/bring cubs quietly in the past, they always failed in the end.
But for parents, if there is less tossing, it must be the most reassuring.
"Ah, that means, you are going to Granny Smith's house later, right?"
Ms. Taylor glanced at Avanti and Xiaobao the snail who seemed to be careless, and slowly took out a small can of powder from Maomao's pocket, handed it to her cub, and ordered:
"This is the incense that can calm people's mind. There is a mess over there now. Lighting this incense can make people's emotions more stable."
"I'll also order your Uncle Congo's house first, otherwise Mitty is too young, and if she is hit by a collision, it will have a bad effect on her body."
While speaking, Ms. Taylor patted the head of the Xueling rabbit cub with her fluffy paws, as well as the beautiful back shell of Xiaobao the snail, and said meaningfully:
"Can Mama Taylor trust the two brave and heart-warming knights?"
◆
Waiting for the dizzy Avanti, with his head up and chest up, looking as if he was going to war, Xiaobao, who was very serious about completing the work entrusted by his elders, stood in front of a light green warm arched room, and then slowly Come to yourself.
Damn, Ms. Taylor's sense of oppression is too strong, and her eyes seem to know everything, which is very scary.
Now hearing the sobbing in the round arch house, neither Avanti nor Little Snail wanted to get close.
There will be no negative emotions in Dessert Town, such as jealousy, sadness, disappointment, discomfort...these are not things that gods would like.
Therefore, the residents of the small town believed that if a family or a cub had these qualities, they would be rejected by the gods, and they would not even want to take them to play in the house of the gods.
"What should I do? I'm so worried that I'll get something on it when I go in. It won't be good for my sister..."
Snail Xiaobao looked a little nervous and worried. Although they promised that Ms. Taylor would come, there should be Ai Bo and other classmates in front of him. Maybe the room is so small that there is no need for everyone to squeeze in?
"No, Ms. Taylor is already incensed, and she'll say, that means we have to."
Afanti shook his head, after getting along for this period of time, he has basically mastered the correct posture of a family of three in the mushroom house.
──If it is what Dr. Appie says, you can listen to it and believe it, but you don't have to do it.And he has a very good temper, even if there is a slight offense, he will still help solve it while thinking about it.
──As long as Ms. Taylor speaks, she must obey no matter how busy she is.The other party will never say useless sentences, especially if they ask you to do something, that is to do it with all your life.
Otherwise, you will never know which link you will suffer from later.
"Then, that's okay..." Xiaobao Snail took a deep breath, and stepped over the short fence with Avanti, and was immediately attracted by this dessert town that can be compared to a forest. The environment of the yard was stunned.
Granny Smith's family seems to like the forest environment very much, but because their family is a grocery store and there are a lot of people, they are always very busy, and they don't have many opportunities to go to the forest on vacation.
This is probably also the reason why they choose to spend a lot of money, preferring to have a smaller house than to find a way to build such a beautiful yard.
Moreover, the size of the hedgehog is small, and planting flowers and plants all over the yard will not cause problems to the street scene of the town.
When the sun is good, you can often see the hedgehog family spread out into small pancakes, lying on the grass in the small courtyard, warming themselves.
──But this is not the case now, the crying inside has gradually changed from sobbing to loud, making it difficult for passers-by not to notice that something bad is happening in the house.
"Woooooo...I feel like crying when I hear it." Snail Xiaobao is probably a person who can easily empathize with others.
When I saw my sister before, I was very impressionable, but now I feel my throat is choked up when I hear the crying, and it seems that pearl tears will fall at any time.
"You wait, let's not cry outside in a hurry."
Avanti was a little bit annoyed now, because he couldn't figure out where these strange gods usually observe the residents of the town.
If everyone cried because they were in a bad mood, and then decided to punish these residents, wouldn't it be too unfair?
"I think Granny Smith likes everyone so much, and she definitely doesn't want everyone to cry like this, but it will make it difficult for people to leave well."
Walking into the small arched house, you can see all kinds of fungus and some yellow flowers, which make the house look very lively and warm.
Ai Bo is a blue-tailed chickadee, with a small stature. It seems quite appropriate to curl up in the room and wipe tears together at this time.
As for Xixi, she was indeed much taller and couldn't even enter the house, so she just sent Ai Bo over to see people and left early.
Hedgehogs have never been very courageous, and now they are frustrated, it is better to be less exciting.
"Ah, why are you here?"
Ai Bo was hugging Annie, who was about the same size as himself, and was shrinking herself into a small ball because of sadness at the moment. They were obviously very surprised to see Avanti.
However, everyone else at the scene seemed to have fainted and passed out of shock, so looking from left to right, only Ai Bo, who was relatively familiar with the house, had the ability to entertain.
"Grandma Smith was found to have passed away peacefully in her sleep this morning. It seems that the mayor and the principal will come to help later, so I plan to accompany them here first."
The population of the hedgehog family is quite simple. Grandpa Annie disappeared in the forest unexpectedly long ago, and was deemed dead and canceled many years ago.
Anne's parents and Granny Smith have a very good relationship, and they were raised by a single parent. Now it is obviously difficult to accept the death of the tough Granny Smith.
──Looking at their grief-stricken appearances, Avanti couldn't help but think of the pictures he saw in the clinic earlier, as well as the conversations he heard.
──At that time, Dr. Appie and Ms. Taylor clearly said that Granny Smith still has a good time to live!How could it become like this so suddenly?
──Also, Snail Xiaobao's younger sister, Mitty, clearly has characteristics related to Granny Smith... Is this a coincidence, or is there some reason?
"We are still carrying the calming incense that Ms. Taylor said I would order for Granny Smith's family. Why don't we go to see grandma first, and then leave after ordering. Don't trouble you here?"
Afanti couldn't figure out what was going on now, so he could only conservatively tell the part that was sure that there was no problem, and observe the rest slowly.
Anyway, with Ai Bo and Snail Xiaobao by his side now, if there is any problem, he will not be alone.
"Wooooow...Thank you for coming to see your Granny Smith."
The hedgehog family is small in size, and even the crying is soft, which makes people feel unbearable just listening to it.
The size of the house is small, so they are a family and a small nest connected together.Granny Smith, who was not breathing, was in a ball peacefully, lying safely in the nest dotted with weeds and small flowers, with a slight smile on her mouth.
"I still remember that when I saw the teeth and throat in the clinic, Granny Smith's body was still very strong."
Avanti did not expect that the seemingly happy residents of the dessert town would have such lethality in creating a sad atmosphere.
So in order to avoid the pleasant impression brought by Little Mitti being washed away at once, Afanti could only say a few soft words himself, trying to make the atmosphere not so bad.
──Remembering the family with the hedgehog family is probably more useful than saying some empty words of comfort.
"We also know this. Dr. Appie said that as long as you take good care of it, you can live longer."
Father Hedgehog wiped away his tears, and then said wearily:
"It's just that I don't know what's wrong. It's estimated that the weather has changed a lot recently, and it's not going well. Your Granny Smith couldn't sleep all day and wanted to go out at night, but it turned into this in a few days... "
Annie let out a snivel-filled sob from behind at the right time, and then said with a particularly uncomfortable sob:
"Grandma also made several shoe covers for me, wove scarves, and stored a nest full of hazelnuts, just for fear that I might not find something to eat..."
"Besides, grandma gave me a few gems that she hid, and said she would keep them as pocket money..."
The Doudou-like eyes of the hedgehog father and hedgehog mother suddenly widened when they heard the words. Perhaps because they had the same discovery, the family of three burst into tears again.
This is great, no matter it is Aibo, Avanti, or Xiaobao the Hedgehog, they are at a loss and don't know what to do.
"Why don't we light the incense first." Avanti thought that his understanding of the dessert town was superficial for the time being, and it would be safer for the locals to make other details.
"Then let me arrange some flowers, Ai Bo." Snail Xiaobao suggested, with his tentacles dangling from side to side, it seemed that he really wanted to do something for this family, "Afanti, look at them, and avoid them by the way." Someone outside will not know.”
When the curling scent of incense slowly lingered in the room, Afanti felt as if his fur was going to explode, and then he quickly found a reason to go home and check the situation.
──Somewhere, he always had an intuition that he hoped to hear some comments from Dr. Appier and Ms. Taylor on the birth of Miss Mitch and the death of Granny Smith.
But at this juncture, the clown mask used the reflection of the mirror to send news that the mayor of the dessert town just happened to have his whole family visit Grandma Hedgehog’s family, so if Avanti wanted to search for information about the population, now is the best time. great opportunity.
In addition, today is a life-and-death situation. If there are any possible changes, this is indeed the latest and best opportunity.
"Afanti, promise me, if you go in and take a look, don't do anything stupid."
Teacher Lilith of the original form of the red fox was obviously terrified by today's news, her smooth fur looked much duller, she stayed at the corner of the alley of the mayor's house trembling, and said to Avanti cautiously.
The Xueling Rabbit cub looked at this gentle and considerate teacher with some doubts, not quite understanding why the other party looked frightened.
But thinking about the other party's constant saying that Dessert Town is the place with the highest death rate of book travelers, it seems that she can understand what she is struggling with.
"Give me the list of other people. I'll go in and look at it myself later. Don't force it."
After all, Afanti has so many abilities on his body, whether it's saving his life or escaping, it doesn't matter.
As for Teacher Lilith and the others, they live in the small town directly, and they don't know if there is a chance to escape, so it's better not to force it.
"Mr. Clown Mask is also watching from other places. Even if their family wants to come back temporarily, I will not be arrested."
Most of the houses in Dessert Town are made of special desserts. As for the building materials, it is indeed a place of confusion. At least Afan mentioned that he has only seen finished products so far, so he doesn't know the details.
As for the mayor of Dessert Town, Grandpa Hei Xiong's family of seven are all bears, and probably to show the mayor's power, so the house was built very large.
The living room alone is all constructed of collected and processed honeycomb pieces.A grid of hexagonal nests is full of sweet honey. It is not difficult to imagine that when someone is hungry in the middle of the night or wants to eat something, he will directly hit the wall and take a sip of honey. .
As for going inside, all kinds of compartments and decorations made of sweet sorbet, brulee, scones, cookies, and popcorn... are dizzying. mess up.
When Afanti saw this, he realized that it was all made of fragile materials that would leave traces if it moved a little. Presumably, the mayor's grandfather also worked in this room when he was in office.
Due to the clear division of labor among the townspeople in the dessert town, in Avanti’s memory, the mayor’s grandfather and his family vaguely remember that half of them went to work in the power plant, the two worked as security guards at the school, and the mayor’s grandmother accompanied the mayor. Grandpa is doing things at home.
So if the study is not in the basement, it will be the safest corner in the house.
"Well, I don't think there's much chance in the basement, and it would be too unfriendly for them to have to light candles."
Besides, there are quite a lot of things going on in the dessert town recently. If there are gods, household registration, and tourists' applications... I am afraid that even if the mayor's grandfather is usually in the basement, he must try his best to move to it at this time. deal with it on the ground.
Fortunately, Afanti is well aware of the setting of the world view in children's books, and the setting of the bear family is rarely too hardworking, and most of them are comfortable, so she profitably uses the method of penetrating the wall and quickly finds Office behind the mezzanine and decorative wall.
Countless dossiers, account books, and various small books written in mysterious characters graffiti all the way from the floor to the ceiling.
The thick roasted stick bookcase is all the way up to the ceiling, and a strange collection shelf is divided in the middle, so that the cubs of Xueling Rabbit can clearly see that there are butterfly specimens and plant seeds inside, and some of them can’t see the original Collection of shaped parts, stones, etc.
It seems to be in line with the preference of the Bear Clan, but such a perfect arrangement reveals a touch of weirdness.
Avanti tried her best not to look sideways, concentrating on looking for household registration or population-related records.
He still has the list and original forms of the deceased book-walkers given by Teacher Lilith in his hand, hoping to shorten the search time.
On the glass window on one side, icing sugar and popsicles of different colors are intertwined with complicated patterns.
Out of the corner of his eye, Avanti noticed that the pattern here was a bit different from the ones he saw in school or other places before, so he turned his head quietly to look at it──
Then he noticed a pair of... probably real eyeballs, embedded in the glass, staring straight at a place in the room.
If it were another person, he would probably be quite frightened by such a bloodless but equally creepy scene.
But Avanti, who had been prepared for this for a long time, did not panic, but looked at the pair of eyes as calmly as possible, with countless thoughts in his mind.
Is this a surveillance effect?Or pure 'boots'?
Or some kind of punishment?Or maybe it was the fate of those who had conflicts with the mayor's grandfather?
At least, Avanti remembered that he had never heard of anyone blind in the town.
"Well... If this is the case, just in case, I don't want to do it myself." Afanti even slowed down his breathing, flicked his fingertips, and the small palm trembled for a while before releasing it. The little silver spider ran to the inside of the mayor's grandfather's desk.
His eyesight is 5.0, and he doesn't eat any carrots in his usual roasted turkey pie. He also noticed that there seemed to be documents in it marked with the words about account cancellation and registration.
The little silver spider is dexterous and belongs to the magical product of the Western Fantasy world.
From Avanti's judgment, it is probably the best way to adapt to this world... Judging from the current situation, it is indeed effective.
The documents are all written on parchment, and perhaps because the bears like to use large paper for everything, the little silver spider struggled to drag it, but nothing happened, and Avanti could pass through The opponent's perspective can clearly see the above records.
[On the eve of the Autumnal Equinox Festival (cross out) Smith (cross out) → Mitti → Pika】
This is the title of the document, followed by a series of graffiti, and more scribbled words than the book obtained from Grandpa Ode, and some pictures of little people dancing around the fire.
Then Avanti saw that the map of the dessert town was also drawn on this piece of paper, and a pentagram pattern was drawn in it, which seemed to connect five places, and two landmarks had been marked in it.
They are the dome house of the hedgehog and the home of Xiaobao the snail.
As for the other three places, Avanti can only estimate the locations, and needs to go back and do a little way to identify them.
──This is very important information, but Avanti wants to know more about population and household registration.
If Granny Smith and Honey had a one-in-one-out 'equivalent exchange' relationship, then who can be so sure that things will develop according to the plan and ideas?
And who did the manipulation and made it all dance perfectly to the script? ... Avanti still remembers that when he wrote the article, it seemed that only at the end of the series of children's books did he slightly mention the relationship between cubs and siblings.
"Song Cheng, An Yimeng, Sha Lin..."
Under the control of Avanti, the little silver spider skillfully practiced, constantly flipping through the population information of the dessert town, hoping to find the whereabouts of the book walkers.
Among them, in the hedgehog family, Avanti clearly saw Granny Smith's name slowly melting away, while the gem snail family's younger sister's name appeared properly.
The names of some families do not seem to be so solid, but overall, it is true that there will be no shocking changes in a short period of time.
But as he flipped through the pages of parchment, Avanti was sure that he didn't see any signs of the person who passed through the book...including Teacher Lilith's name.
Even Avanti's own name, in the roster of three members of Mushroom House's family, is not solid black, but a bit of a gray shade. I don't know how to judge this?
If Dr. Appie and Ms. Taylor saw this situation, would they think there was something wrong with Avanti, or would they want to question Avanti, where is their real child?
"Huh?" Just when Avanti turned to the last page of the parchment scroll, he discovered that there was a pull page at the top, and the carefully folded footer could be opened with just a little flipping.
Immediately, what imprinted in the eyes was the names so dense and dense that people's scalp would explode when they looked at them.
There are so many people, if all of them are book runners, then there must be no less than [-] people in this world.
──Whether it’s the name given by Teacher Lilith before, or Mr. Bookworm himself, or even Mr. Clown’s nickname...even Lilith herself, they are all in these lists.
That is to say, what Teacher Lilith said earlier, after being taken away by the gods, she became the only 'person' in her family who came back to the dessert town. It is a matter of having a formal household registration, which is not true.
Avanti felt rather at a loss for this, and was not quite sure which link had the problem.
Among them, it is no surprise that some of them are trying to muddle through.What's more, everyone has their own excuses. If you have to say whether you believe it or not, Avanti believes that there are all kinds of reasons to extend down.
It's a pity that what happened today was so sudden that Avanti could do so little, so he could only let the silver spider take a photo of the list, and then go back and copy it later to find a way.
"Huh? Isn't this Teacher Lilith? You must be going to see Granny Smith, right? Do you want to get flowers from Auntie, so as to save an extra trip to the forest."
At the alley outside the mayor's grandfather's house, teacher Lilith leaned against the edge of the fence in a tangled state, staring at the crowds on the street with her eyes open, and her heart was in a mess.
Aunt Platycodon, who is still good at planting flowers, holds a large bouquet of flowers in her hand, and sends pure white roses to passers-by along the way... I guess she has run back and forth, and found that Teacher Lilith is still there. So I came here deliberately and put all the last leftovers into the opponent's arms.
"Ah...thank you, Aunt Kikyo."
Teacher Lilith knew that most of the residents in these dessert towns were warm and kind. They sent things because they felt that Lilith needed them, and because they had a lot of them at home and they were still usable, so they gave them specially.
──If it can be used, it is far more pleasing to them to accept it generously than to refuse it.
Just like the flowers in my hand now, each one is the size of an adult's fist, half-opened, and the faint fragrance of roses is like mist, and it makes people feel drunk when hugged in their arms.
"It's all right. Old Tom just told me that you're in a bad mood. I still don't believe it. I didn't expect it to be true."
Auntie Kikyo is a three-colored cat who is good at gardening. Her eyes are soft, as if the boundless sea is tolerant.
"I said that if you have something upset, if you don't mind chatting with us lonely old people, don't worry about it, otherwise no one will be able to bear it after a long time."
Many people who are gentle with others do not necessarily learn to take care of themselves in the same way.
Even they are harsh and strict with themselves, and they are good at pulling negative emotions on others and pouring them on themselves, so they often drive themselves crazy as a result.
"I... I was taken care of by Granny Smith... although she may never have taken care of it."
Teacher Lilith is very clear that since Aunt Kikyo has found her side, maybe the people in the town have doubts about her identity or attitude.
If you don't reveal something that can satisfy them, it may be difficult to deal with later... If you don't pay attention, you may drag Avanti into the water.
"However, with this bouquet of roses planted by Aunt Platycodon, I believe she will be very happy to see Granny Smith later."
◆
When Afan left the mayor's house with a lot of first-hand information in a dangerous and obvious way, and came back to find Teacher Lilith after turning around half of the dessert town, he saw Aunt Kikyo waving at her with satisfaction. say goodbye.
Seeing Avanti's clear eyes looking over, Teacher Lilith seemed to have a heart attack, then swallowed nervously for a while, and then quietly asked──
"You...does this mean something has been gained?"
Afan thought of Teacher Lilith's gloomily saying that she found nothing at the mayor's grandfather's house, and seeing the other party talking with Aunt Kikyo Xiang Shenghuan again, and felt a little confused.
However, the employer does not doubt the person, and the suspect does not need to. In the end, Avanti did not come up directly and asked directly. He only said that he had discovered a lot and planned to visit the power plant before the ceremony began.
After all, there are plenty of opportunities in schools, and Shining Volume Department Store is busy with festivals recently, and the lights are brightly lit every day.
Only the power plant has always been heavily guarded, but because the festival is coming soon, many personnel have been sent home early to enjoy the holiday, and then they will run full-time for more than two weeks, which will be very, very hard.
In other words, if Avanti wants to investigate whether the power plant is tricky, it is probably the most likely time to succeed in the near future.
"Not too many, and I suspect that there should be some connection between the dead and the newborn. Furthermore, the mayor probably knows us far better than we know ourselves."
"Also, don't feel that you have escaped the investigation and monitoring. Perhaps it is not the gods who are looking at us, but other existences."
After Afanti said these two sentences, he looked at Teacher Lilith with a pale face and red and swollen eyes, and shook his head slightly in his heart.
If she had been to the house of the gods and returned safely, it would not be a good idea of Lilith's role in the dessert town.
Perhaps she is personally standing on the side of the book runner, and she is even the key person in charge of the "Firefly" organization in this world...
But most of the time it is involuntary, and there is no feeling or memory of being controlled. Avanti believes that no one should ignore such a situation.
Therefore, Avanti has decided not to disclose the follow-up decisions and speculations to Teacher Lilith, and also to avoid further contact with her.
This is based on the consideration of protecting each other. Similarly, Avanti also wants to counter-test whether the people behind the test will decide to use other methods for monitoring.
◆
Dessert Town is destined to be stained with a touch of autumn dew tonight.
But the festival is just around the corner, no matter what thoughts everyone has in their minds, it won't hurt the warm atmosphere.
Even Dr. Appie and Ms. Taylor started with some discussion of Granny Smith's physical condition and then quickly moved on to Sister Snail's condition.
During the meeting, Avanti deliberately pretended to casually mention the similarities between Xiaobao's sister and Granny Smith, and finally got an answer that it was not painful, and that the two families had a distant relationship.
As for the tombstone or the funeral, everyone tacitly forgot about it, and didn't even mention it. At most, it was said that old Tom's growing vegetables were getting better and better, but they had to be given priority to the festival, so the discussion about the town was over. topic.
"But it's a pity for Grandma Smith. Anyway, she helped her take care of her body before."
When Avanti pretended to sleep, climbed up to the second floor of the mushroom house to wash up, but was actually preparing things for going to the power plant at night, he suddenly heard the discussion of Dr. Apier and his wife downstairs.
"...But this is the request of the gods. Sometimes we are limited in what we can do. Don't think too much, just do your best in everything."
There is also a curfew tonight, but Afanti has discovered it more often, and he is used to this weird time-space stagnation.
Besides, his purpose today is to go to the power plant, not to understand the reason why the town seems to be pressed the stop button at night, so there is no need to waste unnecessary thoughts on this.
The whole dessert town presents a radial shape, and the dotted houses gradually fill the town into a perfect circle.
The power plant is located in the north, symmetrical to the river valley under the rainbow, quietly boosting the west side of the town.
──Under the night, the power plant is as majestic as a gigantic monster. From time to time, it emits dusty black air into the sky. People always say that this is because the power plant will provide you with clean electricity. Times 'practice'.
Compared with power plants in other worlds, there will be security booths, and there will be extremely strict checkpoints for entry and exit.
But it is probably because the residents of the dessert town are very well disciplined, so the power plant deliberately built an iron gate, and the fence grid below is not small, so Avanti didn't even have to try to build a ladder to climb the tree and turn over , I can feel like entering no man's land.
"Hmm... This place really doesn't look like a power plant, it's more like a gourmet factory."
Avanti had previous experience in the daytime, so when walking in the power plant this time, he also paid special attention not to leave any traces.
──And this time, Avanti deliberately left small traps in some places to divert the attention of the power plant director, so that he can have more leeway to explore the entire power plant.
The ground is light green, and there are many densely packed control consoles distributed on the first floor of the factory, but they are organized quite cleanly, so that people can't see what they are doing.
Then countless pipelines can be seen from the ceiling of the factory, descending from the sky, connected to the operating table, which looks like
Afanti didn't know what to say for a while while holding the child.
Maybe it's because of his smell, or maybe it's because he's hugging him well, anyway, the little girl Mitti seems to like Avanti very much, she even dropped the bottle, twisted her soft head and rubbed towards him.
It's a little wet, quite soft and tender, and there is a little hard shell of gem snails on the top, which makes people itchy and can't help but want to laugh.
"Hey, I didn't expect the baby to like Brother Avanti!" Although the Congo uncle had eaten the "confinement meal" delivered by Ms. Taylor, he still looked a little pale and weak.
But seeing the little girl getting along well with Snail Xiaobao and Avanti, in the eyes of parents, there is nothing more gratifying than this.
──After all, at first he wanted to have another child, and that was because he didn't want Xiaobao to wait for him every time he was busy, or he could only watch other families have siblings, and then Xiaobao was alone.
Of course, Uncle Congo himself likes children very much, and his current life can also support his family to take care of another child, so he is so looking forward to the arrival of the little life.
Out of unspeakable selfishness, the little girl's physique is weaker than her brother's. If she can get along well with Avanti... Maybe she will be able to get extra care from Dr. Appie and the others if she needs it later. .
"I like my sister very much too!" Snail Xiaobao liked it so much, leaning against Avanti's side, he also used his tentacles to comfort the little girl Mitti, and said happily: "Thank you, Dad, for your hard work." Dad! I will be my sister's support together!"
"Yeah, it's finally come to an end, and the gods have granted your wish."
Dr. Appie had just handed over the baby to the two cubs, and he and Ms. Taylor quickly finished the final examination for Uncle Congo.
At this moment, while putting away the inspection tools, he cheerfully said to Uncle Congo:
"The child is very healthy, but he needs to drink special nutritional supplements for the first few months. I asked Ms. Taylor to prepare it for you, and then come here every week to get freshly boiled, so the effect is better."
Everyone in Dessert Town knows that Dr. Appie is very sensitive to medicinal herbs, and healers are very good at it. As for the use and preparation of prescriptions, Ms. Taylor is good at it. .
Anyway, the medicinal herbs are taken care of by special townspeople. If anyone needs them, just say hello, and there will never be a shortage.
So Uncle Congo didn't have any doubts after hearing what Dr. Appie said, and nodded happily, saying that it would be the same if he let Xiaobao Snail pass by if he was too late.
"I can do it! Just now I was in charge of moving the gifts everyone gave to my father and sister into the house!"
Snail Xiaobao is very self-conscious about being a big brother now, and is extremely keen on showing off and doing things for the family.
Especially this kind of showing off to the whole town that he has a younger sister. The novice brother said that he estimated that he would be able to hold out for at least a year.
"I can share half of my bed and room with my younger sister, and then I can go to the forest to pick fruit for my younger sister! Last time Aibo told me that there is a snakeberry that is very delicious, next time I will go with Avanti to pick fresh ones for my younger sister come back!"
Afanti has met many silly brothers and sisters, and thinks that Xiaobao's reaction is not particularly outstanding.
It's just that this person turned around and pulled him into the young man, which would be a bit embarrassing...
"Okay, Auntie Bijia must also know where many good things are in the forest. We can't ask the location, so I guess we can find things and exchange them with her."
The golden-tailed monkey, and living in the forest, even if the festival is coming, the forest neighbors will arrange for many people to come and go, but it must be easy to pick something.
"It's okay for these two days, but it won't work after two days. If you want it, don't delay it."
Ms. Taylor made a purring sound from her throat, and looked at the little baby and the two cubs gently with blue and golden eyes, reminding her:
"Besides, there have been more trains recently. Some tourists who have made an appointment in advance to attend the festival may sneak around the town. You should be careful not to be targeted."
Although the security of Dessert Town is very strong, even if there were tourists who tried to kidnap/bring cubs quietly in the past, they always failed in the end.
But for parents, if there is less tossing, it must be the most reassuring.
"Ah, that means, you are going to Granny Smith's house later, right?"
Ms. Taylor glanced at Avanti and Xiaobao the snail who seemed to be careless, and slowly took out a small can of powder from Maomao's pocket, handed it to her cub, and ordered:
"This is the incense that can calm people's mind. There is a mess over there now. Lighting this incense can make people's emotions more stable."
"I'll also order your Uncle Congo's house first, otherwise Mitty is too young, and if she is hit by a collision, it will have a bad effect on her body."
While speaking, Ms. Taylor patted the head of the Xueling rabbit cub with her fluffy paws, as well as the beautiful back shell of Xiaobao the snail, and said meaningfully:
"Can Mama Taylor trust the two brave and heart-warming knights?"
◆
Waiting for the dizzy Avanti, with his head up and chest up, looking as if he was going to war, Xiaobao, who was very serious about completing the work entrusted by his elders, stood in front of a light green warm arched room, and then slowly Come to yourself.
Damn, Ms. Taylor's sense of oppression is too strong, and her eyes seem to know everything, which is very scary.
Now hearing the sobbing in the round arch house, neither Avanti nor Little Snail wanted to get close.
There will be no negative emotions in Dessert Town, such as jealousy, sadness, disappointment, discomfort...these are not things that gods would like.
Therefore, the residents of the small town believed that if a family or a cub had these qualities, they would be rejected by the gods, and they would not even want to take them to play in the house of the gods.
"What should I do? I'm so worried that I'll get something on it when I go in. It won't be good for my sister..."
Snail Xiaobao looked a little nervous and worried. Although they promised that Ms. Taylor would come, there should be Ai Bo and other classmates in front of him. Maybe the room is so small that there is no need for everyone to squeeze in?
"No, Ms. Taylor is already incensed, and she'll say, that means we have to."
Afanti shook his head, after getting along for this period of time, he has basically mastered the correct posture of a family of three in the mushroom house.
──If it is what Dr. Appie says, you can listen to it and believe it, but you don't have to do it.And he has a very good temper, even if there is a slight offense, he will still help solve it while thinking about it.
──As long as Ms. Taylor speaks, she must obey no matter how busy she is.The other party will never say useless sentences, especially if they ask you to do something, that is to do it with all your life.
Otherwise, you will never know which link you will suffer from later.
"Then, that's okay..." Xiaobao Snail took a deep breath, and stepped over the short fence with Avanti, and was immediately attracted by this dessert town that can be compared to a forest. The environment of the yard was stunned.
Granny Smith's family seems to like the forest environment very much, but because their family is a grocery store and there are a lot of people, they are always very busy, and they don't have many opportunities to go to the forest on vacation.
This is probably also the reason why they choose to spend a lot of money, preferring to have a smaller house than to find a way to build such a beautiful yard.
Moreover, the size of the hedgehog is small, and planting flowers and plants all over the yard will not cause problems to the street scene of the town.
When the sun is good, you can often see the hedgehog family spread out into small pancakes, lying on the grass in the small courtyard, warming themselves.
──But this is not the case now, the crying inside has gradually changed from sobbing to loud, making it difficult for passers-by not to notice that something bad is happening in the house.
"Woooooo...I feel like crying when I hear it." Snail Xiaobao is probably a person who can easily empathize with others.
When I saw my sister before, I was very impressionable, but now I feel my throat is choked up when I hear the crying, and it seems that pearl tears will fall at any time.
"You wait, let's not cry outside in a hurry."
Avanti was a little bit annoyed now, because he couldn't figure out where these strange gods usually observe the residents of the town.
If everyone cried because they were in a bad mood, and then decided to punish these residents, wouldn't it be too unfair?
"I think Granny Smith likes everyone so much, and she definitely doesn't want everyone to cry like this, but it will make it difficult for people to leave well."
Walking into the small arched house, you can see all kinds of fungus and some yellow flowers, which make the house look very lively and warm.
Ai Bo is a blue-tailed chickadee, with a small stature. It seems quite appropriate to curl up in the room and wipe tears together at this time.
As for Xixi, she was indeed much taller and couldn't even enter the house, so she just sent Ai Bo over to see people and left early.
Hedgehogs have never been very courageous, and now they are frustrated, it is better to be less exciting.
"Ah, why are you here?"
Ai Bo was hugging Annie, who was about the same size as himself, and was shrinking herself into a small ball because of sadness at the moment. They were obviously very surprised to see Avanti.
However, everyone else at the scene seemed to have fainted and passed out of shock, so looking from left to right, only Ai Bo, who was relatively familiar with the house, had the ability to entertain.
"Grandma Smith was found to have passed away peacefully in her sleep this morning. It seems that the mayor and the principal will come to help later, so I plan to accompany them here first."
The population of the hedgehog family is quite simple. Grandpa Annie disappeared in the forest unexpectedly long ago, and was deemed dead and canceled many years ago.
Anne's parents and Granny Smith have a very good relationship, and they were raised by a single parent. Now it is obviously difficult to accept the death of the tough Granny Smith.
──Looking at their grief-stricken appearances, Avanti couldn't help but think of the pictures he saw in the clinic earlier, as well as the conversations he heard.
──At that time, Dr. Appie and Ms. Taylor clearly said that Granny Smith still has a good time to live!How could it become like this so suddenly?
──Also, Snail Xiaobao's younger sister, Mitty, clearly has characteristics related to Granny Smith... Is this a coincidence, or is there some reason?
"We are still carrying the calming incense that Ms. Taylor said I would order for Granny Smith's family. Why don't we go to see grandma first, and then leave after ordering. Don't trouble you here?"
Afanti couldn't figure out what was going on now, so he could only conservatively tell the part that was sure that there was no problem, and observe the rest slowly.
Anyway, with Ai Bo and Snail Xiaobao by his side now, if there is any problem, he will not be alone.
"Wooooow...Thank you for coming to see your Granny Smith."
The hedgehog family is small in size, and even the crying is soft, which makes people feel unbearable just listening to it.
The size of the house is small, so they are a family and a small nest connected together.Granny Smith, who was not breathing, was in a ball peacefully, lying safely in the nest dotted with weeds and small flowers, with a slight smile on her mouth.
"I still remember that when I saw the teeth and throat in the clinic, Granny Smith's body was still very strong."
Avanti did not expect that the seemingly happy residents of the dessert town would have such lethality in creating a sad atmosphere.
So in order to avoid the pleasant impression brought by Little Mitti being washed away at once, Afanti could only say a few soft words himself, trying to make the atmosphere not so bad.
──Remembering the family with the hedgehog family is probably more useful than saying some empty words of comfort.
"We also know this. Dr. Appie said that as long as you take good care of it, you can live longer."
Father Hedgehog wiped away his tears, and then said wearily:
"It's just that I don't know what's wrong. It's estimated that the weather has changed a lot recently, and it's not going well. Your Granny Smith couldn't sleep all day and wanted to go out at night, but it turned into this in a few days... "
Annie let out a snivel-filled sob from behind at the right time, and then said with a particularly uncomfortable sob:
"Grandma also made several shoe covers for me, wove scarves, and stored a nest full of hazelnuts, just for fear that I might not find something to eat..."
"Besides, grandma gave me a few gems that she hid, and said she would keep them as pocket money..."
The Doudou-like eyes of the hedgehog father and hedgehog mother suddenly widened when they heard the words. Perhaps because they had the same discovery, the family of three burst into tears again.
This is great, no matter it is Aibo, Avanti, or Xiaobao the Hedgehog, they are at a loss and don't know what to do.
"Why don't we light the incense first." Avanti thought that his understanding of the dessert town was superficial for the time being, and it would be safer for the locals to make other details.
"Then let me arrange some flowers, Ai Bo." Snail Xiaobao suggested, with his tentacles dangling from side to side, it seemed that he really wanted to do something for this family, "Afanti, look at them, and avoid them by the way." Someone outside will not know.”
When the curling scent of incense slowly lingered in the room, Afanti felt as if his fur was going to explode, and then he quickly found a reason to go home and check the situation.
──Somewhere, he always had an intuition that he hoped to hear some comments from Dr. Appier and Ms. Taylor on the birth of Miss Mitch and the death of Granny Smith.
But at this juncture, the clown mask used the reflection of the mirror to send news that the mayor of the dessert town just happened to have his whole family visit Grandma Hedgehog’s family, so if Avanti wanted to search for information about the population, now is the best time. great opportunity.
In addition, today is a life-and-death situation. If there are any possible changes, this is indeed the latest and best opportunity.
"Afanti, promise me, if you go in and take a look, don't do anything stupid."
Teacher Lilith of the original form of the red fox was obviously terrified by today's news, her smooth fur looked much duller, she stayed at the corner of the alley of the mayor's house trembling, and said to Avanti cautiously.
The Xueling Rabbit cub looked at this gentle and considerate teacher with some doubts, not quite understanding why the other party looked frightened.
But thinking about the other party's constant saying that Dessert Town is the place with the highest death rate of book travelers, it seems that she can understand what she is struggling with.
"Give me the list of other people. I'll go in and look at it myself later. Don't force it."
After all, Afanti has so many abilities on his body, whether it's saving his life or escaping, it doesn't matter.
As for Teacher Lilith and the others, they live in the small town directly, and they don't know if there is a chance to escape, so it's better not to force it.
"Mr. Clown Mask is also watching from other places. Even if their family wants to come back temporarily, I will not be arrested."
Most of the houses in Dessert Town are made of special desserts. As for the building materials, it is indeed a place of confusion. At least Afan mentioned that he has only seen finished products so far, so he doesn't know the details.
As for the mayor of Dessert Town, Grandpa Hei Xiong's family of seven are all bears, and probably to show the mayor's power, so the house was built very large.
The living room alone is all constructed of collected and processed honeycomb pieces.A grid of hexagonal nests is full of sweet honey. It is not difficult to imagine that when someone is hungry in the middle of the night or wants to eat something, he will directly hit the wall and take a sip of honey. .
As for going inside, all kinds of compartments and decorations made of sweet sorbet, brulee, scones, cookies, and popcorn... are dizzying. mess up.
When Afanti saw this, he realized that it was all made of fragile materials that would leave traces if it moved a little. Presumably, the mayor's grandfather also worked in this room when he was in office.
Due to the clear division of labor among the townspeople in the dessert town, in Avanti’s memory, the mayor’s grandfather and his family vaguely remember that half of them went to work in the power plant, the two worked as security guards at the school, and the mayor’s grandmother accompanied the mayor. Grandpa is doing things at home.
So if the study is not in the basement, it will be the safest corner in the house.
"Well, I don't think there's much chance in the basement, and it would be too unfriendly for them to have to light candles."
Besides, there are quite a lot of things going on in the dessert town recently. If there are gods, household registration, and tourists' applications... I am afraid that even if the mayor's grandfather is usually in the basement, he must try his best to move to it at this time. deal with it on the ground.
Fortunately, Afanti is well aware of the setting of the world view in children's books, and the setting of the bear family is rarely too hardworking, and most of them are comfortable, so she profitably uses the method of penetrating the wall and quickly finds Office behind the mezzanine and decorative wall.
Countless dossiers, account books, and various small books written in mysterious characters graffiti all the way from the floor to the ceiling.
The thick roasted stick bookcase is all the way up to the ceiling, and a strange collection shelf is divided in the middle, so that the cubs of Xueling Rabbit can clearly see that there are butterfly specimens and plant seeds inside, and some of them can’t see the original Collection of shaped parts, stones, etc.
It seems to be in line with the preference of the Bear Clan, but such a perfect arrangement reveals a touch of weirdness.
Avanti tried her best not to look sideways, concentrating on looking for household registration or population-related records.
He still has the list and original forms of the deceased book-walkers given by Teacher Lilith in his hand, hoping to shorten the search time.
On the glass window on one side, icing sugar and popsicles of different colors are intertwined with complicated patterns.
Out of the corner of his eye, Avanti noticed that the pattern here was a bit different from the ones he saw in school or other places before, so he turned his head quietly to look at it──
Then he noticed a pair of... probably real eyeballs, embedded in the glass, staring straight at a place in the room.
If it were another person, he would probably be quite frightened by such a bloodless but equally creepy scene.
But Avanti, who had been prepared for this for a long time, did not panic, but looked at the pair of eyes as calmly as possible, with countless thoughts in his mind.
Is this a surveillance effect?Or pure 'boots'?
Or some kind of punishment?Or maybe it was the fate of those who had conflicts with the mayor's grandfather?
At least, Avanti remembered that he had never heard of anyone blind in the town.
"Well... If this is the case, just in case, I don't want to do it myself." Afanti even slowed down his breathing, flicked his fingertips, and the small palm trembled for a while before releasing it. The little silver spider ran to the inside of the mayor's grandfather's desk.
His eyesight is 5.0, and he doesn't eat any carrots in his usual roasted turkey pie. He also noticed that there seemed to be documents in it marked with the words about account cancellation and registration.
The little silver spider is dexterous and belongs to the magical product of the Western Fantasy world.
From Avanti's judgment, it is probably the best way to adapt to this world... Judging from the current situation, it is indeed effective.
The documents are all written on parchment, and perhaps because the bears like to use large paper for everything, the little silver spider struggled to drag it, but nothing happened, and Avanti could pass through The opponent's perspective can clearly see the above records.
[On the eve of the Autumnal Equinox Festival (cross out) Smith (cross out) → Mitti → Pika】
This is the title of the document, followed by a series of graffiti, and more scribbled words than the book obtained from Grandpa Ode, and some pictures of little people dancing around the fire.
Then Avanti saw that the map of the dessert town was also drawn on this piece of paper, and a pentagram pattern was drawn in it, which seemed to connect five places, and two landmarks had been marked in it.
They are the dome house of the hedgehog and the home of Xiaobao the snail.
As for the other three places, Avanti can only estimate the locations, and needs to go back and do a little way to identify them.
──This is very important information, but Avanti wants to know more about population and household registration.
If Granny Smith and Honey had a one-in-one-out 'equivalent exchange' relationship, then who can be so sure that things will develop according to the plan and ideas?
And who did the manipulation and made it all dance perfectly to the script? ... Avanti still remembers that when he wrote the article, it seemed that only at the end of the series of children's books did he slightly mention the relationship between cubs and siblings.
"Song Cheng, An Yimeng, Sha Lin..."
Under the control of Avanti, the little silver spider skillfully practiced, constantly flipping through the population information of the dessert town, hoping to find the whereabouts of the book walkers.
Among them, in the hedgehog family, Avanti clearly saw Granny Smith's name slowly melting away, while the gem snail family's younger sister's name appeared properly.
The names of some families do not seem to be so solid, but overall, it is true that there will be no shocking changes in a short period of time.
But as he flipped through the pages of parchment, Avanti was sure that he didn't see any signs of the person who passed through the book...including Teacher Lilith's name.
Even Avanti's own name, in the roster of three members of Mushroom House's family, is not solid black, but a bit of a gray shade. I don't know how to judge this?
If Dr. Appie and Ms. Taylor saw this situation, would they think there was something wrong with Avanti, or would they want to question Avanti, where is their real child?
"Huh?" Just when Avanti turned to the last page of the parchment scroll, he discovered that there was a pull page at the top, and the carefully folded footer could be opened with just a little flipping.
Immediately, what imprinted in the eyes was the names so dense and dense that people's scalp would explode when they looked at them.
There are so many people, if all of them are book runners, then there must be no less than [-] people in this world.
──Whether it’s the name given by Teacher Lilith before, or Mr. Bookworm himself, or even Mr. Clown’s nickname...even Lilith herself, they are all in these lists.
That is to say, what Teacher Lilith said earlier, after being taken away by the gods, she became the only 'person' in her family who came back to the dessert town. It is a matter of having a formal household registration, which is not true.
Avanti felt rather at a loss for this, and was not quite sure which link had the problem.
Among them, it is no surprise that some of them are trying to muddle through.What's more, everyone has their own excuses. If you have to say whether you believe it or not, Avanti believes that there are all kinds of reasons to extend down.
It's a pity that what happened today was so sudden that Avanti could do so little, so he could only let the silver spider take a photo of the list, and then go back and copy it later to find a way.
"Huh? Isn't this Teacher Lilith? You must be going to see Granny Smith, right? Do you want to get flowers from Auntie, so as to save an extra trip to the forest."
At the alley outside the mayor's grandfather's house, teacher Lilith leaned against the edge of the fence in a tangled state, staring at the crowds on the street with her eyes open, and her heart was in a mess.
Aunt Platycodon, who is still good at planting flowers, holds a large bouquet of flowers in her hand, and sends pure white roses to passers-by along the way... I guess she has run back and forth, and found that Teacher Lilith is still there. So I came here deliberately and put all the last leftovers into the opponent's arms.
"Ah...thank you, Aunt Kikyo."
Teacher Lilith knew that most of the residents in these dessert towns were warm and kind. They sent things because they felt that Lilith needed them, and because they had a lot of them at home and they were still usable, so they gave them specially.
──If it can be used, it is far more pleasing to them to accept it generously than to refuse it.
Just like the flowers in my hand now, each one is the size of an adult's fist, half-opened, and the faint fragrance of roses is like mist, and it makes people feel drunk when hugged in their arms.
"It's all right. Old Tom just told me that you're in a bad mood. I still don't believe it. I didn't expect it to be true."
Auntie Kikyo is a three-colored cat who is good at gardening. Her eyes are soft, as if the boundless sea is tolerant.
"I said that if you have something upset, if you don't mind chatting with us lonely old people, don't worry about it, otherwise no one will be able to bear it after a long time."
Many people who are gentle with others do not necessarily learn to take care of themselves in the same way.
Even they are harsh and strict with themselves, and they are good at pulling negative emotions on others and pouring them on themselves, so they often drive themselves crazy as a result.
"I... I was taken care of by Granny Smith... although she may never have taken care of it."
Teacher Lilith is very clear that since Aunt Kikyo has found her side, maybe the people in the town have doubts about her identity or attitude.
If you don't reveal something that can satisfy them, it may be difficult to deal with later... If you don't pay attention, you may drag Avanti into the water.
"However, with this bouquet of roses planted by Aunt Platycodon, I believe she will be very happy to see Granny Smith later."
◆
When Afan left the mayor's house with a lot of first-hand information in a dangerous and obvious way, and came back to find Teacher Lilith after turning around half of the dessert town, he saw Aunt Kikyo waving at her with satisfaction. say goodbye.
Seeing Avanti's clear eyes looking over, Teacher Lilith seemed to have a heart attack, then swallowed nervously for a while, and then quietly asked──
"You...does this mean something has been gained?"
Afan thought of Teacher Lilith's gloomily saying that she found nothing at the mayor's grandfather's house, and seeing the other party talking with Aunt Kikyo Xiang Shenghuan again, and felt a little confused.
However, the employer does not doubt the person, and the suspect does not need to. In the end, Avanti did not come up directly and asked directly. He only said that he had discovered a lot and planned to visit the power plant before the ceremony began.
After all, there are plenty of opportunities in schools, and Shining Volume Department Store is busy with festivals recently, and the lights are brightly lit every day.
Only the power plant has always been heavily guarded, but because the festival is coming soon, many personnel have been sent home early to enjoy the holiday, and then they will run full-time for more than two weeks, which will be very, very hard.
In other words, if Avanti wants to investigate whether the power plant is tricky, it is probably the most likely time to succeed in the near future.
"Not too many, and I suspect that there should be some connection between the dead and the newborn. Furthermore, the mayor probably knows us far better than we know ourselves."
"Also, don't feel that you have escaped the investigation and monitoring. Perhaps it is not the gods who are looking at us, but other existences."
After Afanti said these two sentences, he looked at Teacher Lilith with a pale face and red and swollen eyes, and shook his head slightly in his heart.
If she had been to the house of the gods and returned safely, it would not be a good idea of Lilith's role in the dessert town.
Perhaps she is personally standing on the side of the book runner, and she is even the key person in charge of the "Firefly" organization in this world...
But most of the time it is involuntary, and there is no feeling or memory of being controlled. Avanti believes that no one should ignore such a situation.
Therefore, Avanti has decided not to disclose the follow-up decisions and speculations to Teacher Lilith, and also to avoid further contact with her.
This is based on the consideration of protecting each other. Similarly, Avanti also wants to counter-test whether the people behind the test will decide to use other methods for monitoring.
◆
Dessert Town is destined to be stained with a touch of autumn dew tonight.
But the festival is just around the corner, no matter what thoughts everyone has in their minds, it won't hurt the warm atmosphere.
Even Dr. Appie and Ms. Taylor started with some discussion of Granny Smith's physical condition and then quickly moved on to Sister Snail's condition.
During the meeting, Avanti deliberately pretended to casually mention the similarities between Xiaobao's sister and Granny Smith, and finally got an answer that it was not painful, and that the two families had a distant relationship.
As for the tombstone or the funeral, everyone tacitly forgot about it, and didn't even mention it. At most, it was said that old Tom's growing vegetables were getting better and better, but they had to be given priority to the festival, so the discussion about the town was over. topic.
"But it's a pity for Grandma Smith. Anyway, she helped her take care of her body before."
When Avanti pretended to sleep, climbed up to the second floor of the mushroom house to wash up, but was actually preparing things for going to the power plant at night, he suddenly heard the discussion of Dr. Apier and his wife downstairs.
"...But this is the request of the gods. Sometimes we are limited in what we can do. Don't think too much, just do your best in everything."
There is also a curfew tonight, but Afanti has discovered it more often, and he is used to this weird time-space stagnation.
Besides, his purpose today is to go to the power plant, not to understand the reason why the town seems to be pressed the stop button at night, so there is no need to waste unnecessary thoughts on this.
The whole dessert town presents a radial shape, and the dotted houses gradually fill the town into a perfect circle.
The power plant is located in the north, symmetrical to the river valley under the rainbow, quietly boosting the west side of the town.
──Under the night, the power plant is as majestic as a gigantic monster. From time to time, it emits dusty black air into the sky. People always say that this is because the power plant will provide you with clean electricity. Times 'practice'.
Compared with power plants in other worlds, there will be security booths, and there will be extremely strict checkpoints for entry and exit.
But it is probably because the residents of the dessert town are very well disciplined, so the power plant deliberately built an iron gate, and the fence grid below is not small, so Avanti didn't even have to try to build a ladder to climb the tree and turn over , I can feel like entering no man's land.
"Hmm... This place really doesn't look like a power plant, it's more like a gourmet factory."
Avanti had previous experience in the daytime, so when walking in the power plant this time, he also paid special attention not to leave any traces.
──And this time, Avanti deliberately left small traps in some places to divert the attention of the power plant director, so that he can have more leeway to explore the entire power plant.
The ground is light green, and there are many densely packed control consoles distributed on the first floor of the factory, but they are organized quite cleanly, so that people can't see what they are doing.
Then countless pipelines can be seen from the ceiling of the factory, descending from the sky, connected to the operating table, which looks like
