Chapter Eighty-Eight: This Is Revenge
The girl playing and singing on the other side of the intersection attracted Hao Ren's attention, and also attracted the attention of many passers-by around, probably because there had never been a street performer in this small place in the southern suburbs, and the other party had become the focus of attention when he appeared here.
There are three kinds of people who set up musical instruments on the street these days, one is a literary beggar who wears sunglasses and saws an erhu, and does not form a tune but complains about sorrow, one is a performance artist who does not understand the rhythm of music and is not skilled and simply retaliates against society, and the other is a person with real skills who deserves to be named "street artist". Anyway, no matter how you look at it, it's richer than the poor acid vampire at home. And her music can't help but stop and listen carefully, the melody is something Hao Ren has never heard, it seems to be a song composed by the other party himself, it sounds completely different from the current pop music, giving people a feeling of distant and ethereal, reminiscent of the grassland and the wind - this association is very strange, Hao Ren has not understood the meaning of the so-called "supreme music can convey the state of mind" before today, but now he believes that the melody does have the power to make the mood suddenly broaden.
When the young girl opened her mouth to sing an unknown ballad, Hao Ren heard some kind of language that she had never heard before, it sounded like a random murmur, the meaning and vocabulary were completely unclear, and it seemed to be just a temporary humming made up to reflect what she was thinking, and the great demon of Izzax couldn't help but stop and listen for a while, and then showed a puzzled expression: "Don't understand?" Incomplete translation system? ”
"Terminal," Hao Ren poked at the number of terminals that had entered sleep mode in his pocket, "Listen, what kind of language is this?" Why don't we have a translation thesaurus? ”
The number jù terminal first played a piece of the system-activated BGM to himself, and then listened to it for a few seconds: "Irregular, illogical, undecipherable pronunciation, the system judges that these pronunciations are not necessary to translate - they are just a pile of sounds, without any meaning." ”
Hao Ren thought for a while, and came up with an easy-to-understand saying: "In other words, this girl forgot the words and sang nonsense there, right?" ”
"Can't you look at the atmosphere once in a while while you're talking?" The number jù terminal shook twice in Hao Ren's pocket, "How good this sounds, you just say that she sings with her heart is better than forgetting words—although the machine also thinks that she forgot words." ”
At this time, the singing girl on the other side of the intersection also seemed to notice the situation here (it is also possible that she noticed Yizax first, this villain of more than two meters with a radius of two hundred yards, and one stop here is the landmark of the whole street), she looked up at Hao Ren, and showed a sweet smile, as if she was greeting.
Of course, Hao Ren didn't know the other party, so he smiled back with the politeness of a stranger, and then followed Yitzax out of the intersection: he still had business to do, and there was a werewolf girl at home who was ready to transform at night, so he couldn't waste time here.
When Hao Ren and Yitzax were about to walk to the door, the number of terminals suddenly spoke: "Then again...... People greeted you just now, shouldn't you go over and put ten yuan in someone's carton? I checked the information on the earth and found that this is the rule. ”
Hao Ren thought for a moment, with a smile on his face that had been purified by a certain soul: "Did you hear her singing?" Such a clean and expansive voice, I don't think it can be measured by money - even though she is singing, I think it is more useful to give her a smile than to give her ten dollars. ”
"But after you two walked away, the girl rolled her eyes at you both while she was ventilating, and muttered that you were a dead ......."
Hao Ren: "......" His soul that he finally obtained purification was heavily polluted in an instant, and this mouthy number jù terminal can't give people a little bit of worldly clarity!
By the time the two of them returned home, Vivian had already arrived home, the vampire girl had flown outside for most of the night yesterday, and she didn't come back in the morning, it seemed that she had gone far away to collect "materials", and as soon as Hao Ren entered the living room, she saw that she was busy spreading out a lot of things on the coffee table, and it seemed that she was grinding medicinal powder. Vivien looked up and saw the big bag in Izax's hand and asked casually, "Buy so much?" ”
"What if Lily is hungry after her transformation, I read a book that says that the werewolf has an unusually strong appetite after becoming a beast, so I bought her twenty packs of spicy strips and ten packs of bread to prevent her from running to the city and hurting people when she can't bear her hunger."
Lily heard a cheer when she heard a snack, and jumped directly from the sofa, and then first opened a pack of spicy noodles and returned to the sofa to gnaw slowly, Vivian looked at Hao Ren dumbfounded: "Twenty packs of spicy noodles...... What do you think? ”
"She eats these gadgets," Hao Ren looked at Lily as doting as a pet, "and spicy strips are more satisfying, I also inquired with Raven 12345, spicy things have an evolutionary effect on Lily......"
"I haven't heard that werewolves can evolve to eat spicy food," Vivien pouted, "You'd better prepare ten more bottles of mineral water by the way, and then Lily will definitely need a stomach full of cold water." Your way of thinking, why are you getting closer and closer to that goddess? ”
Raven 12345's goddess identity is still coercive after all, Hao Ren usually dares to talk casually, but Vivian doesn't dare to say the word "female neurosis" casually, which shows that the vampire girl is still more afraid of gods, religion or something after all.
Hao Ren helped Izzax put the two large bags of things on the dining table next to him, and then curiously approached Vivien's side: "What are you doing here?" It's a little disgusting to look at...... I'll go, the taste is ......."
Vivien spread out several old newspapers on the coffee table, and there were a lot of things on them, some of which looked like herbs that were not much different from weeds, but they were obviously precious materials that Vivien had painstakingly found, and the still earthy grass leaves had been carefully divided into piles, stained with water, and apparently washed. Next to the blades of grass were a jumble of what looked like clods of dirt, wood chips, moss, and even stone shards. On another occasion, Hao Ren would have thought at first glance that it had been picked up from a large garbage bin at the east end of the street, but Vivien was dealing with these things very seriously: she had put all kinds of materials in several small stainless steel basins according to certain rules and dosages, some of which had been mashed into powder by her, and some of which were still being processed.
"This is a medicinal powder made from three kinds of dried herbs, mixed with rabbit blood and drunk to forcibly stabilize the spirit, ordinary people will fall asleep after two sips, but for werewolves, this dose is just enough for them to calm down," Vivien introduced the suspicious mixture she had on hand like a treasure, "These off-white powders are incense, which will be mixed with absinthe juice to make a cake, and when Lily transforms, it is ignited, and the aroma produced can suppress her desire to attack, Werewolves often use this thing in their coming-of-age rituals, and the recipe is definitely right. These mosses were collected from the cemetery, I flew a long way to find them, they can condense spiritual power, werewolves are a race with more muscles than brains, they are innate in spiritual strength, they need this kind of thing......"
Before Vivian finished speaking, Hao Ren couldn't help retching, these things are left in the big foodie country, few people dare to taste salty, but two-thirds of them have to be processed into the "decoction" that Lily must take tonight, and the feeling of nausea at the thought of this can't stop at all. Hao Ren glanced at Vivien, wanting to get some kind of information from the other party's eyes: "You tell me honestly, are you looking for revenge on Lily?" ”
Vivien smiled, "Landlord, look at my honest eyes......"
Hao Ren sighed: It seems that this is indeed revenge.
But Lily, as the person concerned, didn't seem to be aware at all, the girl was still watching the soap opera with interest in the spicy strips, and had no opinion on the unknown mixture on the coffee table, Hao Ren couldn't help but greet Lily: "Lily, you came to see these things that Vivian prepared for you...... You're going to have to eat them tonight......"
Lily turned her head and sniffled, "Well, that's good!" I eat everything! ”
Hao Ren: "......"
This omnivorous werewolf has no need to be treated!
