(46) Snake Woman

In my sleep, I felt a pair of eyes staring at me. I woke up and sat up, rubbed my drooping eyelids, and saw a figure standing in front of my bed.

"You're finally awake!"

I heard a familiar voice say to me, like a loved one speaking to someone who has been sick for a long time and is in a coma, and the words are full of anticipation and excitement. I fixed my eyes and saw that it was Uncle Crab.

"Uncle, what are you doing? Surprise me! ”

I glanced out the window, and it was just dawn.

"I'll wait for you to get up and go to the gorgon's house! I asked a street performer for the address of the gorgon's house overnight yesterday! ”

The uncle was very excited when he spoke.

"Uncle, you're really good, it's not even seven o'clock!"

I looked at the clock projection on the wall of the hotel.

"Seven o'clock? It's not too early! I've been waiting for you for three hours! I'll come over and you're sleeping! Another trip and you're still sleeping! I don't know how much this is lying down! Hurry up, change your clothes and leave! ”

Uncle urged me. This is like a scientist who is about to enter old age and enjoy his family! It's just a seventeen or eighteen-year-old enthusiastic and energetic young man.

I had to get out of bed and walk with him to the snake girl's house.

Although Arctic Village has a large population and a small place, it is not full of houses everywhere.

The snake girl's home is quite remote, lonely on a small hill. It is located at the northern tip of Alaska, and it is said that the Arctic region is beyond the Arctic Circle, and it is still more than 2,000 kilometers away from the North Pole.

If it weren't for the "Santa Claus' home", it would probably still be a wild place.

The road in front of the house is covered with snow and ice, and you can still see that this is a barren place that has not been inhabited for a long time.

When I got to the door, the lock was rusty. Uncle Crab yelled at me, "Here!" Your consistent style! ”

In the eyes of others, our consistent style is "barbaric", "direct" and "efficient", I know that Uncle Crab wants me to kick the door open, how can I follow his heart, pretend to refuse, "Kick it in directly, okay?" ”

Hearing me say this, the uncle was anxious, "If you don't come, I'll come!" ”

"Knock on the door first! Civilized society, civilized some! ”

I also wanted to tease him on purpose, so I hurriedly stopped him.

"Be more civilized? I still believe that when these words come out of the mouths of others, you are used to smashing people with money, and there is still civilization? ”

Uncle Crab looked at me embarrassedly.

I smiled but didn't answer, and raised my hand to knock on the door.

Uncle Crab looked at the rusty lock on the door, and then saw me knocking on the door pretendedly, crying and laughing.

"Who!"

After a few knocks, a girl's voice really came from inside the door.

"Listen, there's really someone at home!"

I looked at Uncle Crab for a moment.

"Are you gorgon? I'm the uncle who drank with you in the alien bar! ”

Uncle Crab hurriedly shouted into the house.

"And me!"

I shouted along.

"Why are you here?"

The voice of the gorgons came from inside the house.

"I'm here to thank you, thank you for saving us in the aurora!"

"You're welcome, that's all a gesture."

"Can you let us in?"

"It's too messy at home, I'd better go out!"

My uncle and I stared at the locked door, only to hear footsteps, but not to see the door open.

There was nothing in front of me, but I felt the cold hand take my hand again.

"Why hasn't that girl come out yet?"

For a long time, the uncle said to me impatiently.

"It's early!"

I pouted to my side.

"By the way, this girl will be invisible!"

Uncle suddenly realized.

"It seems that you will not only be invisible, but you will also be able to penetrate walls!"

I said into the air in front of me.

"Hmm."

I only heard the voice of the girl in front of me whispering, and I still couldn't see anything.

"Have you always lived here?"

I continued to speak into the air in front of me.

"Hmm."

The girl said "um" again, as if there was shyness in her voice.

The cold hand holding me seemed to be shaking slightly, which was like seeing a lover.

"Your ability to stealth is also innate?"

Uncle Crab asked.

"Yes!"

A girl's voice came to my ears.

"Then why do we see you at the bar?"

Uncle Crab then asked.

"That place is special!"

The girl's voice replied.

"What's so special about there?"

Uncle Crab asked again.

"It's as special as my superpowers."

The girl's voice replied plausibly.

"I can see you in my mansion too!"

I add questions.

"You're special there, too!"

The girl's voice returned.

Indeed, according to Zhou Qing's guess, if that building is a huge quantum transmitter, it is indeed very special.

"Two words in particular, but we can't scratch our heads!"

Obviously, the answer could not satisfy the uncle's curiosity.

"I'm still curious to know how your superpowers came about!"

Uncle is still in Fan Wen.

Without waiting for the girl to reply, a white-skinned girl with a big ponytail walked towards us.

Her face is very delicate, but her muscles are completely the taste of King Kong Barbie.

Although I couldn't see the snake girl, I felt that her hand was gripping me tighter, and I seemed to be very nervous and scared.

I seemed to hear her breathing, getting closer and closer to me, and a very soft word came from my ear, "I'm leaving!" ”

This sentence seems to be very reluctant.

"Where are you going?"

I grabbed her tightly and asked softly.

"Arctic, there's the answer you want to know!"

The girl's voice continued to answer in my ear.

I felt as if I was being kissed by her on the cheek, the cold feeling, I could feel the lingering affection, and my heartbeat kept accelerating. Then I felt her let go of my hand.

"Are you friends with the female monster?"

The ponytail girl approached and yelled at us.

"We were just passing by and asking for directions."

The uncle knew that the comer was not good, so he waved his hand again and again.

There were a row of footprints on the snow in front of me, and I knew that the snake girl was walking away.

"The townspeople say this monster was burned to death! I'll just say this monster isn't dead! Let me get it! ”

The ponytail girl also noticed the footprints.

As she spoke, she picked up the wooden stick by the door and chased after her.

"These people in the town really don't even let go of the dead!"

Watching the pony-tailed girl carrying a wooden stick and chasing the footprints, Uncle Crab sighed.

"What did she tell you?"

On the way back, Uncle Crab asked me.

Apparently the uncle heard the girl whispering to me, and he didn't hear it clearly.

"She said the Arctic had the answers we wanted!"

I'm blunt.

"The answer? Could it be that the Arctic is the source of those superpowers? ”

"That's pretty much certain. All the superpowers in Arctic Village, their parents used to work in the Arctic Circle. ”

"Seems to be the answer to the question, it's really in the North Pole!"

Since Hunter's death, my rebellion against the boss's "control" has grown, and the feeling of being toyed with in applause has made me feel depressed.

So in my work, I gradually got used to suppressing my curiosity, and I was not active or active in the investigation of mysterious events. When the work is arranged by the boss, I will do my best to complete it, but if I go deeper, I will not do it if the boss does not clearly instruct me. But this time, I secretly decided that I would go to the North Pole once!

Not for anything else, just for that cold kiss just now. What's more, I feel that the gorgony seems to have something unspeakable hidden and in some danger.

Back at the hotel, Chi Qi was already sitting on the sofa in the living room.

"What are you two big men doing early in the morning?"

She asked in a weird way.

"Exercise, exercise, exercise!"

Uncle Crab prevaricated, and went back to his room to catch up on sleep.

"Have you reported the matter of the traversers to the boss? What did he say? ”

I sat down on the couch across from Chiki.

"Just ask me to give him the list of traversers who have been verified to really have superpowers."

"Did you tell him about the fact that their parents used to work near the North Pole?"

"Not yet, I want to talk to you about it too! Whether we want to report it or not, if the boss knows that these people's superpowers are related to the North Pole, he will definitely let us go. It's hard to get to, and we're in great danger! ”

"In this case, you report to the boss, and we will take the initiative to investigate these things in the North Pole."

I leaned back on the couch and touched my chin.

"Active? Aren't you always passive? When was it not the time when the boss got on a mission that you were willing to investigate, and this time the sun came out of the west? ”

"When it's time to perform, you still have to show it! Besides, don't you want to see the Northern Lights at the North Pole? ”

"Look at the aurora! I almost couldn't get out of it last time! ”

"This aurora is different, it's an authentic aurora from the North Pole. The aurora we entered before is at most the 'shell of an egg', and the aurora at the North Pole is the 'egg yolk'! ”

"Okay! I give up my life to be with you, a gentleman! You are willing to die, I am willing to bury! To the end! ”

The grammar of her sentence is very different from the grammar of English, and I quickly translated it into Chinese in my mind: "Sacrifice your life to accompany the gentleman!" You are willing to die, I am willing to bury! Accompany you to the end! This is obviously the grammar of Chinese.

The last time Chi Qi would use the skillful application of Chinese chopsticks, I was very surprised, and coldly pretended to be a few sentences of Chinese Chinese, plus that cheek, this girl has too much weirdness! took advantage of this time to go to the North Pole and gave her a "bottom" at one time.

"What kind of transportation do we use to explore the North Pole? Flying or taking a boat? ”

"It's not easy to deal with an emergency when the plane encounters it, and it's not convenient to take a boat to the ice area. You go and report first! Boss: If you agree, we'll do it again! ”
