The story of the Night Stalker
They weren't shocked by the writing on the walls, but the writing on the walls glowed a deep blue from time to time, making them wonder what kind of paint was used to make them.
Surprised, Walnut took out his phone from his bosom and clicked against the wall, taking pictures of what he thought was useful information. Then he shook his head at Peanut and said, "Still no signal, it looks like we need a signal booster to get this data back." ”
"I remember you didn't secretly modify a signal booster in the car," Peanut blurted out before he could finish his words, realizing that he was asking redundantly.
"Have you forgotten that we lost that car now," Walnut said, tucking his phone back into his arms, "It's a pity that we can't contact the headquarters now, otherwise we can ask the nerds in the data analysis room to explain to us what is written on it." You know, my talent for languages has never been successfully opened. ”
"So why don't you park that damn car," Peanut grumbled, "Do you know how much we rely on it?"
While the walnuts and peanuts were mixing again, Yu Siqi had already taken the time to interpret the text on the wall. But since the other party didn't offer to let him translate, he definitely wouldn't have volunteered to tell them what was written on it.
After all, he didn't have this obligation, and thinking of this, Yu Siqi even had a sense of joy that although I knew, I just didn't say it. Just as he beckoned Hu Dou to leave the mill with this not-so-upright feeling, a voice behind him stopped him.
"Hey, who is that Yu Siqi, don't rush out first, I have something to confirm with you." Although Walnut's voice didn't have any forced tone in it, the peanut beside him rushed directly to Yu Siqi, crossed his waist and said, "Do you want to slip away?"
"What a fool's errand, this wilderness. I don't know the road, and I don't have a map, so where can I go," Yu Siqi said, "Don't think too much, eldest sister." ”
"There is some truth in what you said, but what do you mean by that you are in a hurry to go out, don't you see that we haven't moved?" asked Peanut with a slight suspicion.
"It's a bit stuffy in the house, so I'll go out and breathe."
Yu Siqi perfunctorily made an excuse in an attempt to prevaricate the past. I don't want peanuts but I seem to smell some flaws, and I launched a new round of questions about Siqi, "It's just spring now, how can it be hot?"
Peanut's words didn't seem threatening, but step by step, he pushed Siqi into a desperate situation, just as he pondered what reason to use to deal with the past. Walnut yells "Hey, don't make me non-existent, okay"
"What's the matter with you calling me" Yu Siqi felt that this was just an opportunity, so he returned to Walnut's side and asked, "If I'm not mistaken, you just called me."
"yes, I'd like to ask you to confirm something." Walnut rubbed her hands and said, "You should know the words on the wall."
"Of course I know," Yu Siqi didn't intend to tell this lie, after all, it wasn't a particularly important matter.
"Can you translate it for me, as part of the collaboration?" Walnut raised her hand and said, "I don't think you should refuse."
Walnut's rhetoric was very ingenious, and almost sealed all of Yu Siqi's retreats. With the proper mention of cooperation and rejection, there are not many options left for yourself.
"No problem, do you want me to read it, or do you want it to be written for you," Yu Siqi asked, spreading his hands.
"Just read it out, I can record it with this." Walnut shook her phone and said, "You don't mind." ”
"Do I have the right to refuse" Yu Siqi smiled and saw that the other party shook his head, and then said, "This is written by a person who claims to be a night owl, and it is basically a story about himself." The content is very messy, do you really want me to translate it all?"
"Night owl, I've heard that this creature is very similar to an owl, but the reviews are not particularly good." Walnut said thoughtfully, "I actually volunteered to be with the evil beast, it seems that this person must not be simple." ”
"Perhaps."
Yu Siqi took a few steps back, propped his hands up, sat on the edge of the grinding plate, and adjusted the angle of observation.
Walnuts and Peanuts stood aside, in a deferential posture. Even Hu Dou, who was still frolicking at the door, was now lying at his feet respectfully like a diligent and studious student.
Since they are all in such a posture, Yu Siqi naturally doesn't know how to ink, he directly cleared his throat and said, "Mendu Town is a good place, with mountains, water and people. But it is also a bad place, where the mountains are bare all year round, and there is no fruit to fill the stomach; The water there is not clean at all, and drinking it rashly will only cause diarrhea; The people there are even more selfish, but if you steal some food from their family, you will probably have to be chased by dogs for a few streets before you give up. My father was an ordinary worker, and the low salary and overtime were part of his life; And the other part is the alcoholism and domestic violence that my mother and I don't want to see. Before my mother died, his abuser was not me, so although my childhood was not happy, there was not much suffering. When I was ten years old, my mother, in order to protect me from his torment, entrusted me to a distant relative of hers, a family that was said to be a well-known good old man. For me, however, I felt that the family might all be freaks crawling out of hell. My mother never really knew his distant relatives, just as she never really knew her husband. Like those poor and hateful beings, she has always chosen to suffer in silence. Endure these, accept those. After my mother died, I was taken back to my dilapidated home as soon as I was 16 years old. Since my father was a poor housekeeper, I began to take care of him as the only idler in the family. It was not bad at first, after all, in a sense, I finally didn't have to sleep in dry and straw. However, with the closure of my father's factory, he chose to numb his mind with alcohol when he lost his job. There is no doubt that the consequence of his long-term alcoholism was his attempt to transfer the suffering and suffering caused by unemployment to me. Like he used to do to my mother for so many years. But he was wrong, he forgot that I was not a weak and helpless woman like my mother, I was a night owl, the kind of being who would struggle to the end even if he bit off the soles of his feet. It was my best day, no annoying snoring, no nasty smell of alcohol, and no screaming. After a good night's sleep, I decided to set out to meet my good uncle, and it was time to repay them for their kindness and love over the years. ”
After listening to Yu Siqi's tirade, Walnut's expression began to be a lot more solemn, and he frowned and said, "It doesn't sound good." ”
"I understand what you mean, but I don't think there's anything we need, which is why I didn't give a reason for translating it in the first place." Yu Siqi said calmly.
"Your abilities are outstanding, and I'm sorry for underestimating you." Walnut patted Yu Siqi's left shoulder and said.
"Well, I'm more concerned about why you think it's normal for an outsider to run into this mill in disrepair and write his story on the wall in Lamersianis," Peanut asked, puzzled.
"But as I said, even if it's not normal," Yu Siqi asked rhetorically, "Isn't our primary goal now to find Walnut's car?"
Peanut was gagged by Yu Siqi's words, and he couldn't hold back several times when he wanted to speak, and simply walked towards the door.
