Chapter 32: No One Can Beat Me in My BGM
My brain was in a state of inability to think, and I was stunned for a moment, then I pressed the sock with my trembling thumb, and the jingle music stopped, turning into a beep sound, and the screen changed to Santa Claus pulling a deer cart and running, and the snowflake-like font fluttered "Connecting", which disappeared after a while, and automatically returned to the main interface.
All the sounds were gone, the beeps were gone, the spells were murmuring, the flames were tearing at the void! As the sound disappeared, and the masked man I had just seen, I looked away from the phone screen, the exhibition hall was empty, only the copper mask focused by the spotlights, I looked around, although it was dim, but there was no longer the illusory breath just now, I also caught a glimpse of the corridor when I came, the dim light indicated.
Footsteps came from the hallway, getting closer and closer, "Miao, are you here?" The star then turned out of the hallway, and her eyes were wide open, looking for me, "Slim! ”
I suddenly turned around and watched the stars approach me, a lively breath of life, the darkness of the exhibition hall just now, and I breathed a sigh of relief, as if I felt that I would not be in danger for the time being.
"Why don't you wait for me, and you won't be seen in a blink of an eye!" Xingxing pouted, I opened my mouth to say something, but Xingxing was attracted by the copper mask, "Eh, this is the copper mask on the poster?" It's so exquisite, lifelike..... "I didn't pay attention to the stars, but my eyes were focused on this copper mask like hers, there was nothing unusual, just a bronze object that had been precipitated for thousands of years, exquisitely made, the, sacrificial utensils? After the strange emotional emotion, the trained logical thinking began to operate automatically, which is different from other ornaments or practical living utensils, it is an exaggerated presentation of animals, at that time people thought that the beasts in the forest were fierce and weird, with the power of communicating ghosts and gods, with the help of the hideous face of animals, poured into the form of masks, human beings wear masks, deceive ghosts and gods, this is a sacrificial instrument! At this time, my mind began to replay the image I had just seen in the exhibition hall, which was a sacrificial ceremony! I, who was besieged in the center, was the sacrifice, and of course I was not the sacrifice, so it was the sacrifice that made me see all this, so, who was the sacrifice?
All this is happening again, and the feeling of desperately trying to escape is playing out again, but in the end my conclusions above are true? Or am I really sick, just sick?
Next, I went into a state of confusion, as the stars pulled me to eat and walk, since I couldn't control my body and brain, I was simply numb! Probably a more secure state. I'm like a robot, with my mouth tightly closed, and my eyes just mechanically mimicking the rhythmic blinking of humans, but I'm supposed to be a virus-stained, dead robot!
"This is mango ice, how cool it is to eat ice in the heating in winter! Let's take a selfie! The stars shook me with a grin.
"Huh?" I looked up and saw her tiger teeth biting the stainless steel soup spoon, and then sat down next to me, and the phone screen with the front camera turned on showed us, and the star smiled very well, a smile that I couldn't come up with.
"Come, get closer, move over here!" Click, and then she came over and wanted to show me everything. "Miao, is your phone vibrating?" Looking into my pocket, I pulled out my phone to check.
Xiao Xinxin: 'I'm leaving! This is the number of cash registers that close in the afternoon..... Don't forget to open the door when the time comes! ’
"What's wrong?"
"It's okay, it's some handover of work." I replied to the message, put away my phone, and didn't have the usual interest in playing with my phone at all.
"Speaking of which, your job...," the star muttered as she bit the ice.
"It's all said, don't discuss this!" I'm weak.
"No, I'm just curious, is this job enough to eat?" The star has round eyes and looks like a curious baby.
"Huh?" I was immediately asked.
"Of course, this is a bit too exaggerated, the meal must be full, see that you are still round and jade", Xingxing continued to eat the ice one bite at a time, "That's it, I said it bluntly!" Is there enough time to rest? This kind of industry should work long hours, have few breaks, and pay a salary..."Ahem, Xingxing paused, as if to consider the wording, "The salary should be just enough!" ”
"What does that mean?" I didn't think she would ask this, "If you say it this way, you're right, it's ......", I tried to think back on my experience these days, and found that it didn't match what the stars said, "It's weird! ”
"What?" Xingxing looked at me suspiciously, "You can't be stupid because of overwork, right?" My poor baby! Saying that, he reached out and touched my head, "Daddy still loves you, and the society still cares for you!" ”
I helplessly watched the essence of the star drama and shook my head. "I mean, strangely enough, what you say is completely different from what I've experienced. First of all, I am paid by the hour, and I can do as many hours as I want, and the unit price is reasonable. Also, although I have eight days off a month, as for the work period, it is more like guarding the store, probably because there are not many people at night. ”
"How can it be so cost-effective, my slimness, this will not be dangerous!" Xingxing looked so nervous that he even stopped eating ice!
"What are you talking about, what's the danger of this, you're exaggerating!"
"My slimness, you have been buried in books for many years, dealing with those dead objects, too simple, people who are alive now, cunning and cunning, all kinds of crimes, maybe this is some kind of pyramid scheme, first wash your brain with a little profit, and then deceive you, if you can't be fooled, you will be trapped! Maybe it's still a human trafficking organization! ......" stars launched the "Today's Statement" program.
"Stop, stop!" I stopped her before her brain was about to puncture the universe, and she didn't look like she was enjoying it, it is estimated that if she didn't hold it down, she could discuss world war and peace, "I said, you, your problem has been like a day for ten years, it doesn't get better, it's getting more and more serious, I'm living and normal in front of you, I haven't encountered pyramid schemes, and I don't have any human trafficking, okay?" Also, I'm not simple, I'll protect myself! ”
I scooped up a mouthful of ice and put it in her mouth, "Here, open your mouth, take your medicine!" She couldn't resist the sweetness of the delicious mango, and opened her mouth obediently, "Good! "I am rewarded with satisfaction.
"Miao, still be careful, you have to pay more attention!" Xingxing muttered, "Hmmm, delicious!" Then he snatched the spoon and continued to eat it bite by bite.
I shook my head and began to eat my cup of ice that had begun to melt, it was so sweet and icy that I froze. But the stars also have a point, and the job is a little, weird!
After half past eleven o'clock in the evening, I began to walk slowly towards the convenience store, and at this time, of course, there would be no one on the street. Most of the shops on the street are closed, only the yellow light of the McDonald's in the far square is like the brightest star in the night sky, and the small night emergency medicine window left by the pharmacy at the corner of the street, and then there is the convenience store where I am.
The cold winter wind makes the trees on the side of the street bare, and under the reflection of the street lamps, I feel a little lonely, and I walk a long lonely road alone, if there is no destination to look forward to, it is estimated that it is even more unbearable!
Although the words of the stars made me wonder, I didn't have a "fear" or anything like that, although Su Shun had a lot of unknowns, and this convenience store was also very strange, I didn't feel the danger, on the contrary, I stayed there and spent the long night quietly, and I was still at ease, as if I was sheltered.
The convenience store was lit up in front of it, the glass door was locked, and I was thinking as I unlocked it, could this store really be profitable if it was closed for lunch break and early evening, and then it was open late at night and all night, avoiding the busiest hours of the service industry. Although there are still nearby residents who come to buy groceries in the evening, or some sad overtime dogs, but overall, it is still very quiet.
I obediently closed the door from the inside, and began to count the money in the cash register, counting mechanically and turning me back into the empty and numb state of the robot. Ding dingdong, the wind chimes of the glass door swayed, I didn't notice it, but it rang again, I looked up suspiciously, Su Shun was standing outside the glass door, he was wearing a navy blue winter coat today, the furry clothes wrapped him, he squeezed out a lovely smile, and waved his right hand at me. I put the money in the cash machine, pushed it in and locked it, and went to open the door for him.
The wind chimes swayed, and I was silent and continued to go back to the counter to count the money.
"Miao!" Su Shun called softly.
"Huh?" I agreed, but my eyes were still on the bills I was counting.
"You look tired! Need to go back and take a break? Su Shun's eyes were full of concern.
I looked up and met his eyes, his pupils seemed to be brown, "I'm fine!" I locked up the correct number of bills, and I forced my lips out, but it might have been more like a wry smile, "Maybe I haven't had coffee yet!" I'm going to make some coffee, do you want it? ”
Su Shun nodded.
Su Shun rubbed his hands, blew hot air into his palms, and shrugged his shoulders slightly, it seemed to be very cold.
"Huang Miao."
"Hmm."
"The sun is out today! It's a brilliant kind, it's been a cloudy day a few days ago, not only the clothes can't be dried, but people are also a little depressed! ”
"Yes, the sun was good today and the weather was comfortable." It's just that I unconsciously sighed and remembered the shining monster in the sun. But when the weather clears, this happens. I thought that the previous things had been turned over, but as a result, when I was most relaxed, I ran out again, and my emotions are still gray and I don't know what to do.
"It's still quite cold, but it's still quite cold, especially at night." I saw that Su Shun seemed to be shivering from the cold, and although he was wearing a coat, his neck was still empty. I stared at his neck, thoughtful.
"I'm going to turn the heating up a little more! You take a look at the store. "After adjusting the temperature, I had a small bag wrapped in checkered wrapping paper on my hand.
"Su Shun, this is for you, it's a scarf, take it out and bring it now! If you wear too much with an empty neck, it will be cold! ”
"Sent to me?" Su Shun took the package.
"Well, it's the notebook you gave me last time, it shouldn't be cheap, just cook a bowl of rice balls, or take the rice balls from the store, I always feel that it is not appropriate, it just so happens that I saw this scarf on the street, and it feels very suitable for you." After saying that, my eyes didn't know where to look.
Su Shun looked at me with a smile, "I just need this, it's a send-off in the snow!" He blinked, with pleasure in the corners of his eyes, "Then I'll take it apart!" ”
I nodded, Su Shun gently tore open the wrapping paper and took out the scarf inside, I looked at it nervously, a little afraid that he wouldn't like it, "I think this gray color suits you very well, and this material is very warm!" I bit my lip and added dialogue.
Su Shun lowered his eyes, looked at the gray scarf, and rubbed his slender fingers, "I like gray very much, I think it can be matched with many colors!" He looked up, and my brown pupils sparkled, and I was relieved.
The coffee begins to be extracted, and the warm aroma of winter fills the air.
"Just?" Su Shun wrapped the scarf around his neck and said, "You gave me a very practical scarf, what should I use to exchange it for you?" The scarf suited him perfectly, and he looked warmly wrapped.
"Ah, I just said, this is the notebook from last time!"
"Well, no, you cooked rice balls for me last time!"
"But the rice balls ....."
"Barter, although it is generally accepted that the value should be equal, but as long as both parties think it is worthwhile, it is enough! I think it's enough! ”
"Huh?"
"So! I'm going to give you something very useful this time! Su Shun smiled mysteriously and pulled out a black box from his backpack, small. You'll love it! He shook the box.
"What's that?" I watched curiously.
"Just look at it!" As he spoke, he handed me the box, and I opened it under his expectant gaze.
"Bluetooth headphones?" Inside, a small transparent blue round box contains a pair of Bluetooth headphones. This blue color is the same as the pen that came with the notebook before.
"This headset has a very domineering name!" Su Shun looked proud. "Listen up! Not! Person! Yes! At! I! In the BGM! Beat me!! "Su Shunzhong's second temperament instantly scored a perfect score. But it was so cute that I couldn't help but laugh.
"It's really a very domineering name!"
"And, BE WITH YOU will have a matching playlist here! Choose from a variety of scene themes! ”
"Slim, people have many emotions, and sometimes they may not be able to control themselves." Su Shun's voice became serious, "Sometimes, music is a good help, music can soothe emotions, or in other words, music can try to dilute or change the effect of emotions!" ”
"Huh?" Su Shun's words seemed to hit what I was thinking.
"For example, if you watch a ghost movie, if you have a Peppa Pig whistling!"
"What a strange example!" But apparently this example is vivid and easy to understand.
"Strange examples can help, that's good! Although we sometimes have difficulties, we can ask for help, and it is too uncomfortable to carry it alone. ”
Su Shun sorted out the scarf, "Well, this is really warm and insignificant, remember to use the headphones I gave you too!" Su Shun laughed, "The coffee seems to be okay, I'll pour it!" You can take a look at the manual first! ”
I looked at the back of him pouring coffee, and felt that my weakness seemed to be seen through, but it seemed to be much easier, indeed, it was too uncomfortable to carry it alone.
