Chapter 33: Madness
"I want that! That one! The girl pointed through the glass to a small pink koala with her butt facing up.
Lintor slipped the one-dollar coin into the coin hole and manipulated the robotic arm to anchor it on top of the little koala.
He had just observed that the claw clamping machines that were generally placed on the side of the road were the most broken and broken, and the hook claws were particularly loose. But it's not absolutely impossible to catch, at least a 1 in 10 small probability.
The force points must be evenly balanced, otherwise the small toys will easily fall down in the middle of the hook. This is the result of a great deal of skill and experience.
I saw the hook and claw spread wide and slowly fall, and at that moment, the prey trembled, and realized that he could not escape.
The corners of Linto's mouth lifted slightly, and he grasped the lever with one hand, and then the hook began to turn, and it hovered like a ceiling fan over the little koala's buttocks, looking for the right point of focus.
In an instant, he suddenly realized that it was not easy to deal with the koala's position, especially the koala's head was relatively large, which would inevitably increase a lot of strength. Lintor immediately controlled the hook to open and close constantly, adjusting the koala's position little by little, so that its face was facing as much as possible. Finally, he tightly hooked the position of the little koala's waist and shoulders, and then controlled it to slowly rise.
Victory was in hand, and Lintor's series of suffocating maneuvers made the little girl so excited that she couldn't close her mouth.
However, just as the little koala was still a little way from the exit, it suddenly fell off its hook.
The two of them were stunned for a moment at the same time, and a wordless sense of loss came rushing over them. Lintor turned his head and nodded firmly at her, as if to say, don't be discouraged, there is still a chance.
The little girl understood, her eyes glistening with tears, but she still took a coin out of her pocket again.
As night fell, the smooth surface of the coin reflected white light, and Linto said to himself that this time, there would be no chance of another miss.
The robotic arm was back in motion, and the hook grappled the little koala's waist and shoulders with incredible accuracy, bringing it away from its kind.
Victory is in sight, the robotic arm is back to its original place, and now the little koala should get the freedom it deserves.
Syllable! To everyone's surprise, the little pink koala did fall into the exit, but it didn't come out, what was going on?
Lintor could see through the glass that it was stuck in the exit passage, in a dilemma of not being able to get out and get in. The little koala seems to be crying, it doesn't want to be free, and it can't leave the comfort zone on which it depends.
So, he turned his head and shook his head at the little girl, as if asking her in his heart, it said that he didn't want to be taken away, did you decide to give up?
The little girl had already covered her face with her hands, tears were streaming down, she was unwilling, she had tried so many times, why couldn't she get what she wanted?
Seeing her like this, Linto inexplicably also had a desire to cry, but unfortunately tears and everything were hypocritical, crying seemed useless, and it was obviously not his fault.
The glowing light on the top of the supermarket door reflected the lonely figure of the little girl, and Linto didn't know how to comfort her, and the two were very depressed.
Fortunately, the cashier's sister, who was on duty at the small supermarket, noticed the intermittent crying, and she came out to ask the little girl. As if seeing a life-saving straw, Linto pointed to the bad thing that hurt people and told what had happened.
It was at this time that he saw a piece of white paper pasted on the side of the crane machine, with the words "machine malfunction, please do not use" written on it. Generally speaking, such warnings should be affixed to the front of the device.
The cashier's sister's self-talk was accidentally overheard by Linto, who had the tip of her ear: What kind of child's prank is this?
Obviously, the words on this piece of paper were crooked, and it must have been pasted by other children, but fortunately they didn't crumple the paper and throw it away, not every child is as well-behaved as Linto.
Okay, now it's time to get to the real problem.
The cashier's sister brought a small key and opened the side cover of the claw machine and pulled out the koala caught in the passage. The little girl who got the toy immediately stopped crying, which made Linto envy her.
The empathetic sister also turned on the capsule toy machine so that he could pick and choose one at will.
Linto's hand had just reached in, but his eyes were fixed on the other side. He suddenly spotted a beautiful anime figure, which appeared to be a swordsman in a samurai suit sitting cross-legged on the ground, his hands propped up on his knees, and the half-long sword stuck in front of him showed out of his reddish-brown eyes.
Somehow, Lintor seemed to be stunned by the sharp look in his eyes.
The wordless smile, the rampant sitting posture, and the soul of the samurai burning to the extreme, chic and free, are the rarities that all children pursue all their lives!
Without hesitation, Linto pulled out the gacha and stuffed it into his bag.
They thanked the supermarket lady, who turned around and went back to work. This time, the little girl learned her lesson, and she never dared to touch the useless claw machine again.
Before I knew it, it was completely dark, and at this time, my mother would definitely be worried, and then frantically dialed his mobile phone. However, because the ringing of the mobile phone was too small, she didn't hear it, thinking that Linto deliberately didn't listen to the phone.
As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't wait to have an urge to take off the watch, such a modified smart watch couldn't even insert a small phone card, what use do you want?
"Brother, I'm going home."
Beside the little girl appeared a housewife, a simple-looking woman who stood in front of Linto like an impermeable wall.
He couldn't escape.
"Ah, yes, my brother is going home too." Although he said so, when he turned around, he didn't know which way to go.
"Kid, you don't live around here, do you?"
Ho ho ho
Linto turned back in time and walked towards them, whispering, "I made a mistake, it should be this way." ”
After all, he is a face-loving person, and he pretended to walk for about half a minute, and the mother and daughter behind him disappeared. Linto breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably, he didn't want to be seen as having a home and not going back.
But staying here wasn't the way to go, he had to find a way to get back. In fact, he still remembered the direction he came, and if he walked that way, he might be able to find his way back?
It's all the fault of that odious Figley! If I hadn't followed him, I wouldn't have been lost for so long.
As he walked, Linto stumbled into a neighborhood that he remembered never before.
Well? Two figures suddenly walked in front of him, damn it! Why is it that mother and daughter again? This time the luck was so good that it exploded.
Linto walked past them casually with his head bowed, deliberately not letting the street lights shine on him. He thought he was well hidden, and if he was still discovered, it would be someone else's fault.
