Chapter 14: The Circulating Taboo
Carl really didn't dare to snooze anymore this time, and he also set an alarm clock to protect himself.
The next morning, as the alarm clock rang like a bell, Carl jumped up from the futon and looked around sternly.
Where do people go?
At this time, the sound of dishes and chopsticks being washed from the kitchen made Carl breathe a sigh of relief, but fortunately he did not fall into that terrible nightmare.
Although it was a bit tiring to sleep for only five hours, it was worth it. He thought to himself.
"By the way, what is she doing in the kitchen?" Karl walked over curiously.
Sasa......
The sound of the water hose coming from the kitchen, Carl walked slowly, he found that he was really a little hungry, it seemed that although he was a little special, it was not without a price.
"I hope you have something for me to eat...... Grunt. Carl touched his stomach and smiled awkwardly.
"Hey! Kiss ......"
Carl walked to the kitchen door, his face stunned, and his eyes stopped at the washing tray.
Sasa......
The hose drained at a normal rate, and the crystal water jets fell into the washbasin, spilling out of the full tray and flowing intermittently to the floor. Wet some worn carpet.
In the kitchen, there was no one.
"Whew...... I need to calm down. Carl took a deep breath. He took a few steps back.
Touch!
"Mr. Karl, what are you doing standing there?" A familiar voice sounded from behind. Carl turned to look.
"It's Miss Rosa......" Carl was startled, and cold sweat broke out from his pores.
Rosa looked at Carl strangely, wondering why he looked so startled.
"Huh? What's behind you? Rosa tilted her head curiously behind Carl.
When I saw the washbasin overflowing with water, I heard her scream: "Oops! Miserable! I forgot to turn off the hose, and I'm going to have to work again today. ”
She hurried inside, but she hadn't forgotten to warn Carl before she walked in.
"Mr. Karl, breakfast is at the table, remember to go to the top of the building after eating, otherwise my sister will be angry."
Hearing this, Carl shivered, thinking of Jisi's iceberg face that did not match her age, he didn't dare to bully her to be shorter than himself, because Carl knew that he would definitely not be able to beat Jisi.
"I'd better go up at once." He broke out in a cold sweat, took a piece of bread dipped in jam and bumped it on the ground.
……
On the rooftop of the Harris Building, a girl with a frosty face frowned, looking at the electronic watch on her wrist.
“10”
“9”
“8”
"It's coming, it's coming...... Ah! A figure rushed out of the stairs on the rooftop and slammed to the ground.
Ji Si squinted at him, "7" "6" "5"
"Wait, I arrived on time." He immediately jumped up from the ground and stood straight in front of Jisi, jam still lingering at the corners of his mouth.
Ji Si nodded and said, "In that case, let's get started." ”
"Let me explain first, I won't teach you how to deal with the supernatural until you've completed your basic training, do you understand?" She said indifferently.
"Understood." Karl replied, "But, instructor, can you tell me about some of the taboos that you can't touch?" That's what you promised me before. ”
Ji Si was about to refuse, but now that she thought about it, it seemed that there was such a thing, so she said, "Okay, but after I tell you, you don't have to be curious to touch it." I can't save you if something happens. ”
"No problem." He affirmed.
"First of all, do you know what a supernatural is?" She asked.
Karl thought for a moment and replied, "You know, all kinds of strange phenomena that are beyond reality, and events that can hardly be explained by science, are supernatural. ”
"Well, yes or wrong, the real supernatural event is completely unexplained by science, which means that no matter when and where you may encounter it, it is supernatural." Kiss explained.
"Remember a few things, it's about whether you can survive or not in the future. First of all, don't go into underground buildings, such as parking lots, sewers, etc. ”
"Why?" Carl asked.
"For no one has ever come out alive, though one has escaped. However, before he could say a few words, he fell into a state of madness, and died of brain failure a few days later. A solemn look appeared on Ji Si's face.
"Some people speculate that because the underground buildings do not see light all year round, those indescribable things can directly pull people's consciousness into dreams and kill them, without the need for a trigger mechanism similar to five hours. Even if someone escapes from the dream, the dark shadow in the darkness has already rushed over to kill the person. ”
"It can be said that after entering, it will be a certain death." After speaking, Ji Si's eyes showed deep jealousy.
"So scary?" Carl also heard it in a cold sweat, but he didn't understand, he was killed twice in a dream, and then naturally came out, who could tell him what was going on?
God, can you stop kidding? It's not interesting at all!
"There are still a few places where you can't go in, one is the dance studio, the second is the toilet in a large shopping mall, and the third is the public swimming pool. Basically, it's safe to avoid all of the above. Kiss reminded.
"Remembered." Carl wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Thinking that sooner or later he would have to face this kind of supernatural, he was still a little timid.
Human beings always have only one emotion for the unknown, and that is fear.
"Okay, you can do a warm-up exercise first, and then you can start training after you finish the warm-up." Kiss patted Carl on the shoulder, she knew that Carl was a little confused at this time, so she needed to give him some encouragement at this time.
"I see." He took a deep breath.
Every formal exercise has a warm-up exercise, such as running, where the joints and ligaments must be moved and stretched before they are performed to avoid injury.
Because the day was about endurance, Carl started the first warm-up, straightening his left and right hands, and then turning his lower back. The second is to twist the neck and arms. The rest of the warm-up takes about 10 to 15 minutes.
By the time he finished his workout, Carl was already sweating, and although he had won the championship in the Games, it didn't mean that he had been exercising regularly, and he knew that he had won the championship because of his physical talent, not hard work.
"It's hot......" Carl wiped his face with a towel.
"Judging from your current physical condition, you shouldn't be able to adapt to high-intensity training for the time being, so you ran 30 laps around the rooftop every day for the first week for adaptive training." Kiss pressed the timer.
"Looks like I'm overestimating my body." Karl smiled wryly. He was tired enough to run 30 laps, and it seems that the plan is still very different from reality.
It's a little weak......
"But it's only the first day, and there's still a lot of room for improvement, and we won't be able to make a decision until a month." Kiss looked at Carl's back and said secretly.
