Chapter 69: Mischievous Elf

Outside, Anne asked Inferno again, "Did you say that these things in the press center broke down by accident?" Is it a mysterious event? What is that prankster elf? ”

Inferno spread his hands and explained: "There are actually many kinds of mischievous elves, including Imp, who likes to make plants die and animals sick; Pixie, who is the size of a palm, likes to wear green tights, and will charm people to the point that they can't regain their senses; Puck, who likes to make harmless jokes with humans; Lepre, the shoe-making elf; Bodach, who gives small children nightmares, and so on. The most popular in recent years has been the Harry Potter Poltergeist, a genre that likes to be seen in young adult episodes......"

In the newsroom is Gremlin, a mischievous elf who is familiar with tools and machinery, and when used correctly, they can make tools faster and better, and they can also improve the skills of the craftsmen and inspire the craftsmen's inventions.

Legend has it that most of the engineers did not know about the hard work of Goranlin, and monopolized the credit for various inventions, leaving them not even a trace of glory, so Goranlin changed his perception of humanity. As a result, not only did they not help, but they also used their knowledge of tools and machinery to make things difficult for human beings, so that people could not escape the ravages of the "Golan effect" in making all kinds of tools and machines.

When it comes to the "Golan effect", the best example is when a nail is driven, the hammer suddenly changes direction and strikes the thumb on the thumb; When sawing planks, they encounter tricky indurations; When painting the ceiling, the paint always slides all the way down the arm......

According to legend, every family had a goranlin, and they moved in with household machines such as sewing machines, and lived in human homes from generation to generation. Many small problems with home machinery, such as hot and cold bath water, car tires when you are about to go to work, etc., are their pranks.

What's more, during World War II, it was also rumored that Goranlin would destroy the engines of airplanes.

"I've heard of Goranlin!" Yi Annie said excitedly, "Isn't that the goblin in "Invincible Heroes"? Through the recruitment of the bell tower, it can indeed be upgraded to a destruction spirit in the later stage! When I think about it this way, it's really about machinery. ”

Inferno was a little helpless: "You are the editor of the mysterious edition, why don't you learn more about this?" ”

Yi Anne was confused: "Isn't what I said before right?" Where can I learn this knowledge? Is it on Google? ”

Inferno was angry: "Isn't there a lot of relevant cases and knowledge in the newspaper clippings left by Steven? ”

Yi Annie thought about it, and it seemed that this was true, but she had always used that newspaper clipping as a search for it, and she had not read it all over yet.

While we were talking, the door to the lecture hall opened, and the people inside walked out, and it seemed that the lights were still not fixed. Therefore, it seems that the press conference will not be able to go on.

"It seems that this Golan Lin elf has been sabotaging various circuits in the news center recently." Anne guessed.

When everyone came out of the lecture hall, Inferno joined the large army of Xiande and planned to leave together.

Anne said hello to Cinder, chatted for a few moments, and then took her leave to go back to the newspaper clippings that Steven had left behind.

When she returned to the office area, Anne glanced at Catherine in the corner of the door.

Catherine also happened to look over, and when she saw Yi Annie looking at her, she crossed her arms and made a "cross" gesture on her chest.

Anne thought of Catherine telling her not to look for her own affairs after divining her, and felt very helpless.

Back at her desk, Anne sent Catherine the article she had written last week about the urban legends of Summer City, deleted a few entries on the mailing list that looked like spam, and then pulled out Steven's newspaper clippings and read them.

Sure enough, there is an entry for the Golan Lin elf, just like the various gods in "American Gods" came to North America in the same way, and Goran Lin came to Canada with the British colonial army to help the colonists develop machinery.

Goranlin likes to talk to the engineers who make organic oil on the soles, but as the age of steam machinery passes, fewer and fewer people meet this condition. Gradually, the Golan Rings became separated from the human race.

Steven even predicted this year's Golan Lin explosion, which seems to increase dramatically every once in a while, and then decrease on its own after reaching a zero point. Unfortunately, the information centre is a Golan Lin cluster, which bears the brunt of the damage when the number of Golan Lin explodes.

There are a lot of mysterious incidents caused by Golan Lin in the newspaper clippings, and usually, when Steven goes to interview (deal with), he will pretend to praise the "god of machines" in that family, satisfy the vanity of Golan Lin in that family, and this strange incident will be solved.

Anne looked at it and found it amusing, and there were several examples in it that made her laugh again and again.

Victor poked his head out from the other side of the partition, "Annie, what are you looking at so happily?" ”

Anne didn't hide it either, handing Steven's newspaper clippings to Victor to read: "This is a record of the mischievous elves left by the previous editor of the Mystery Edition. It seems that each country has its own elves, which is quite fun to watch, is there a similar elf in your home country of Brazil? ”

Victor took the newspaper clippings and flipped through a few pages, and thought for a moment: "We have a jungle elf called Cu milk pira, which combines many European and West African elven traits and likes to stop the loggers from working; And Homem, who stole the naughty kids

Saco; But if there is a prankster elf, it should be Saci, who is a one-legged black or mulatto-white teenager. ”

Anne shook her head and listened, and confirmed the spelling with Victor, writing it down in her little notebook. Since Inferno suggested that she learn more, let's take notes now.

Victor asked, "According to Steven's method, can we go and talk to the Golan Lynn elves so that they don't destroy the facilities of the press center again?" ”

Yi Annie had already had this plan, and after hearing Victor's proposal, she thought that there were people who happened to be with her to strengthen her courage, so she agreed: "I'm going to apply for overtime at night, there are few people in the news center at night, and it is more convenient to move." ”

Victor also replied, "No problem", and went back to his computer to apply for overtime.

The reason for Yi Annie's overtime application was "looking for materials", and after a while, the system feedback came back that it was "not approved".
