Chapter 32 The City of Water
"By the way, are all your elves here?" I asked, looking at the slightly majestic number in front of me, with a slight thoughtfulness in my eyes. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"No, we only have a part here, and the rest were swept away by the torrent before they could come out, and life and death are unknown. Even we are attracted by the magnetic field here, so we have gathered sporadically to the current scale. The deformed elf said, looking a little lonely.
His gaze turned to Feng Xue, gave her a look, and asked her if there was anything she wanted to ask. Feng Xue walked over with a little contemplation and asked the shape-shifting elf, "Has your team mutated recently?"
Variation?! I caught such a word in my head, but I didn't know if the word I was thinking about was the same as the word Feng Xue said. The transformation elf did not immediately answer Feng Xue's question, but looked a little flustered, and unconsciously moved half a step back.
"Don't say it yet." I spoke to it in a flat tone that made it impossible to hear my emotions.
“… Yes~" It said weakly, glancing at Feng Xue with an uneasy look. I looked at the green balls of light, and they were all brushing down on my face as if I had done something wrong. However, at this time, I was full of questions, and the eyes that asked Feng Xue were also filtered out by her.
"When?" Feng Xue asked calmly with a calm face, staring directly at the deformed face, not letting go of any small details.
Seeing that he couldn't hide in the end, the elf said slowly: "It happened before the typhoon hit, and we originally expected the typhoon to come, so we prepared a prevention plan early."
"I thought that this time I could survive this disaster safely, but on the eve of the typhoon, a mutant source of infection suddenly appeared in our elf race, and before we could figure out what the ingredients were, they spread rapidly like a virus, and batches of elves were infected, destroyed everywhere, and the things we had been preparing for a long time were destroyed, and in desperation, we came to the human world." As it spoke, its entire smoke-like body gathered slightly, as if curled up together.
A comforting pat on the elf's head, "? "Comforting. The elf looked shocked, and then looked at me with a pitiful look in its distorted wet eyes.
"It's not a big deal, why wouldn't you want to say it?" I asked, thinking to myself, it was obviously a simple question, why was its expression so serious, could there be something hidden in it that I didn't know, and thinking like this, I seemed to be more interested in this operation.
Turning his gaze to it, he saw that it flashed its eyes, looked at Feng Xue cautiously and said: "Our earth elves are stationed underground all year round, on the one hand, it is our residence, and on the other hand, we maintain the movement of the underground magnetic field. If there is no major event, we will not be allowed to come to the world in large quantities, because our large-scale migration will have a wide impact, and even cause the imbalance of underground operation. ”
"Underground dysfunction?! Is this flood also a light with you? I asked, a little skeptically.
“… That is true. It replied.
"Has this ever happened before?" I asked Feng Xue.
"Yes, and the reason for the number of times is that their family is too invasive. It's just that because the area where the incident occurred is different each time, there is no way to hold them fully responsible, but only to give symbolic warnings and make some individual punishments. Feng Xue replied lightly.
"Where are we?" I asked again.
"We have never had such a case here before, and this time it happened suddenly, I'm afraid there are ghosts." Feng Xue thought about it and said.
"We, we're not going to be punished." A small group hid behind the big group and asked cautiously.
I looked at Feng Xue, she didn't speak, I didn't know the rules, and I couldn't say anything, so I could only be silent.
Seeing me like this, the balls hung down in frustration, looking sad.
Out of the café, we decided to make the café a refuge for them for the time being, and then we would make plans when the tide subsided.
The sky was still gray, and the occasional glimmer of light was quickly swallowed up by the heavy clouds. No amount of brilliance can withstand the arbitrariness of destruction. Empty streets, no longer in the past. Yesterday's young girl, today's old man at dusk, how desolate this is.
Walking on the street, I deeply realized that sometimes things are far from being as simple as I think on the surface, and the intricacies are like spider webs, which seem ordinary, but the inner structure is myriad.
"Ahh I screamed and grabbed my hands at my back, a burning pain in my back.
Glaring at the culprit complainingly, Feng Xue said calmly: "Don't get distracted, walk well."
After speaking, he walked forward calmly. With a strange look on my face, my mouth opened and opened, and finally I held my breath and followed in her direction.
Sure enough, a woman's heart is a needle, obviously a very ordinary thing, why did a god suddenly come to a divine palm, and it hurt me to death. I muttered to myself, rubbing my back with my hands, and felt like my lungs were about to be shaken out.
After a long time, we came to the top floor of a building, the sky was already dark, the wind on the roof was much stronger than the street, and it was a strange pleasure to stand on a high point and look down on the flooded city. The wind was whistling in my ears, and I squinted in her direction.
Not far away, Feng Xue's thin body stood in the wind, and there was a sense of unruliness in the weakness. Her index and middle fingers were pressed together, turning slightly at her side, as if she was exploring something. The fingers shimmered with a pale glow, trembling and trembling, like the beating of a heart.
Aside from my gaze, I walked around the guardrail, observing the neighborhood by the way. This area is an office area, surrounded by a large number of buildings, and the arc spreads out on both sides, and the building we are in is located at a crossroads, and there is a small expansive area of land on the left and right sides of the road, which I think may be used to park temporary vehicles.
"Huh?" Seeing something unusual, I couldn't help but cry out in confusion.
"There's something you want to say." Feng Xue didn't even look at me, and said succinctly, obviously hearing my doubts at the tip of her ears.
"According to my observation, the surrounding real estate is higher than the middle area, and the ghost road in front of it is horizontal, and the whole presents an inclined bag bucket shape, which seems to be a very bad meaning in Feng Shui." I said my opinion, although I was not very familiar with this kind, but I had heard a little bit of this kind of thing from my parents. I really don't understand how anyone can build this kind of house like this, and they are not afraid of bankruptcy?
