Chapter 66: The Monster (I)

"Gone!"

"I don't know, maybe I'm hiding nearby."

Through the crack in the door, he carefully looked out, he didn't know if the scarecrow had gone, but at least he didn't see any trace of the scarecrow in his sight.

Seeing this, Ding Xiaoyi carefully closed the door, and when he turned around, he saw the little girl with blonde hair.

The girl looked no more than six or seven years old, with blond hair and a little freckle on her pale face.

They looked at the girl, and the girl looked at them warily.

Especially for Ding Xiaoyi and Li Qing.

In what she heard, people with black hair and black eyes were all described as the embodiment of demons.

It could be seen that the girl was wary of them, and the matter of communication was handed over to Beckett.

He looked around.

The space in this bell tower is not large, but there are various clocks hanging on the walls.

When he saw these clocks, Ding Xiaoyi's eyes seemed to be fixed on them for a while.

Fingers gently caress the spotless shell of the clock, as if it were a doctor examining the pulse, and then the vibration transmitted from the fingertips determines the general structure of the watch.

"Perfect!"

The interior of these clocks is designed like a work of art, with the delicate gears forming a perfect chain of movement under the rotation of the mainspring.

This is the combination of mechanics and art.

Compared with the mainstream electronic watches in reality, such clocks made Ding Xiaoyi a little obsessed for a while.

It was only a moment later that his eyes were clear again.

His eyes scanned with a little regret on the clocks around him.

Perfect art can only exist in this spiritual space, it is not real, it is false.

In reality, the artwork is only stored in a museum or in a collector's showcase.

Because of the change in the magnetic field after the great shaking of the earth, these works of art have lost their former accuracy.

It's okay in the reserve, at most it's just that the time is not accurate.

Once exposed to the reserve, these things instantly turn into garbage.

But it's nice to be able to check it out here.

"Huh?"

In addition to the clock, there is also an unfinished design drawing on the wall.

It doesn't look like it's for a clock.

It is a design splicing of a mandrel and a bearing shaft, but the obvious data of this design is incorrect, and if you do it according to this design, the things made will not have an effect at all.

"We're just passers-by here, little sister, who are you, are there any adults at home?"

Beckett's Western European ancestry makes this guy look rugged, but he is very attractive, and most importantly, his appearance is in line with the current environment, so the girl's wariness is not so strong.

I saw that the little girl looked at Li Qing and Ding Xiaoyi on the side, and said in a low voice: "My father works on it, you must not disturb him." ”

When it comes to her father, the little girl's eyes always dodge left and right, as if she is full of fear of this father.

Ding Xiaoyi looked the girl up and down, especially the clothes on the girl's body.

After seeing that the buttons on the girl's clothes were black and not missing, Ding Xiaoyi's heart moved, and he stepped forward and said, "Do you know what that scarecrow is?" ”

The girl shook her head and took a step back, avoiding Ding Xiaoyi's gaze.

After a while, the girl spoke: "Dad only told me that I was not allowed to go out after seven o'clock at night. ”

Seeing this, Beckett looked back at Ding Xiaoyi and Li Qing, and asked, "Can you take us to meet your father?" ”

"He's working!"

Beckett waved his hand lightly, motioning for himself to appease, and said in a very gentle tone: "What kind of work?" Can't you take a break at such a late hour? ”

I have to say that Beckett's soft voice with a magnetic hoarse voice is really easy to establish a sense of intimacy with people.

At this time, Beckett saw that the girl was shaken, and took out a chocolate from his pocket and put it in the girl's hand.

"Hey, where did he get the chocolate?"

Li Qing asked Ding Xiaoyi in a low voice.

Seeing Li Qing's squirming appearance, Ding Xiaoyi casually threw one out of his pocket and gave it to him: "You think you're all as stupid as you, there are so many snacks in the car, you don't even look at it." ”

"Oooh!"

Li Qing had a sudden expression on his face, and he looked like a nerd at first glance.

I saw a lot of this kind of person in college, and everyone has emotional intelligence and no emotional intelligence, and their reactions are half a beat slower than others, and if a girl accostes him, he can blush from the root of his ears to the root of his ears.

It's hard to even find a girlfriend.

But then again, this kind of nerd, once in the classroom, or even in the exam room, things are reversed, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a humanoid computer.

Thinking of this, Ding Xiaoyi pulled the nerd aside, and said, "Do you know how to judge what the parasite of a psionic creature is?" ”

There must be something wrong with this bell tower.

Otherwise, it would not have been so visibly exposed.

But what is the problem, the scarecrow did not come in, whether it was because he was afraid of the light of the bell tower, or whether there was something else.

These questions are not really important, what matters is whether the scarecrow's parasite is hiding in this bell tower.

Li Qing thought for a while, tore the chocolate open in his mouth, and recalled while eating: "This...... There are a lot of testing ...... in the alliance."

Before he finished speaking, he was unceremoniously interrupted by Ding Xiaoyi: "Hey, I'm not taking an exam with you, let's talk about something practical!" ”

Li Qing was startled by Ding Xiaoyi's eyes, but quickly thought of something, nodded and said;

"Yes There is a special property in psionic beings that is called spirit.

Spirits and spirits are attracted to each other.

In other words, if we can find a spiritual thing, we can make a spiritual finder. ”

Li Qing gestured, in fact, this thing is very simple.

All that is needed is a rope, and the spirit is tied to the rope and suspended from the fingers, and once it gets close, it will naturally react.

There are also practices such as the compass, that is, only a bowl is needed, and water is placed in it, and the spiritual object can be placed in the water, which can also meet the same requirements.

The above-mentioned methods are all local methods studied by the trade union at the earliest time.

It has long since been abandoned.

It's hard for Li Qing to come up with these local methods.

"Spiritual things ......"

Where can I find this thing?

Feelings: Li Qing talked nonsense for a long time.

In fact, there is one thing on me, and that is the black iron key.

But this thing is too sensitive, and he won't expose it easily anyway.

Ding Xiaoyi scratched his head: "Wait......"

At this time, he suddenly remembered something, put his palm in his coat pocket, and took out his wallet.

When I opened my wallet, I saw that a yellow piece of paper was being caught in it.

"This thing should work!"

Although I'm not sure, this coupon was given to me by the old driver who couldn't see the end of the dragon, and there should be a strong spirituality on it.

At this time, Beckett came over: "Her name is Acelia, and her father is a clockmaker here, and she means that his father works on it, and every night after seven o'clock, no one is allowed to disturb him." ”

Speaking of this, Beckett lowered his voice and said: "I think his father, there is a problem, he locks himself in the door at seven o'clock every night, and no one is allowed to look at it, maybe ......"

At this point, Beckett didn't go any further.

But the meaning is already obvious.

Everything here is false, and they don't care about a little girl's feelings.

At this time, Ding Xiaoyi glanced at Beckett, and glanced at the fruit knife in the corner

Bian walked quickly in front of the little girl and said, "Can you give me a glass of water?" ”

Asilia nodded, from the small room on the side.

Then Beckett quietly walked to the table and hid the fruit knife in his sleeve.

Li Qing looked left and right, there was nothing, but he saw a walnut clipper in his hand, and he stuffed this thing into his pocket without thinking.

At this time, Aceria came out of the room and handed over a glass of water: "Be careful, it's a little hot." ”

"Thank you, you are such a well-behaved and beautiful girl."

Everyone will not refuse compliments.

Not to mention a child who is only about seven years old.

Looking at the slight flush on Acelia's shy little face.

Ding Xiaoyi reached out to take the water she handed over, and with a hook of his fingers, he saw a piece of paper the size of a fingernail falling on the water cup.

After all, such a large coupon can't be thrown all in one cup, and it always has to be saved.

I don't know if I can get a discount after it is damaged!

Ding Xiaoyi thought in his heart, and looked at the small piece of paper in the quilt at the same time.

I saw that after the piece of paper fell in the middle of the quilt, it floated motionlessly on it, and it didn't seem to be moving.

Looking at the piece of paper, there was no movement, indicating that the little girl in front of her had no parasites on her body.

This made his heart feel relieved, and he continued to praise with a smile: "You are so beautiful, I think your mother should also be a beautiful and touching woman." ”

Hearing this, Aceria was stunned, and her eyes turned red for a while: "She...... She's been gone for a long time. ”

Ding Xiaoyi saw that Aceria didn't seem to be lying, and his heart softened for a while.

He's experienced it, too.

Even if the old man gives himself the same love as his parents.

But when I see other people's children holding their parents' hands, I still cast envious eyes.

"Shall we go up and see your father, don't worry, we won't disturb him, I'm also a craftsman!"

Ding Xiaoyi said, pointing to the complex design drawings on the wall.

"You see, the hinges of his drawings have been revised twice.

In order to do so, it is necessary to make the gear below very thin, but if the gear is thin, it will affect the bearing shaft.

If I can, I can help him solve this problem. ”

He said it very professionally, even if Acelia didn't understand it, she could understand the meaning of it, and after thinking about it for a long time, she finally nodded.

"But don't disturb him easily, he's fierce......"

In the end, the corners of Acerya's eyes moistened for a moment, and it seemed that she was afraid of her father to the core.

"Don't worry, we won't bother him."

Ding Xiaoyi said and gave two more chocolates to Acelia.

Acelia, who had been given the chocolate, smiled very sweetly, and the little girl carefully led them up to the second floor.

Push open the room on the second floor.

In the dimly lit room, only two oil lamps were on.

Aceria made a silent gesture and looked at her fingers to see the back of a man in the room, sitting at the table, seemingly focused on something.

Seeing this, Ding Xiaoyi's eyes glanced at the water cup in his hand.

I saw the piece of yellow paper on the water glass, trembling slightly, and gradually drifting in the direction of the room.

That's right, the parasite is here.

"Don't bother me!"

At this time, the man also seemed to sense the voice behind him, and slowly turned his head, only to see under the dim oil lamp.

A frightened face gradually became clear.

The gray-white cheek was cut by the blade of a knife, and the left eye socket was propped open, and a red button was embedded in it.

When he saw Ding Xiaoyi and the others, the man's eyes became bloodthirsty and red for a while, especially the one-eyed glance at the girl's face: "Slut, I said don't bother me." ”
