Chapter 59: Hints
"Probably, everyone but me is asleep." Shen Luotian said sadly.
"What a sad story!" Bai Su followed with a sigh.
"That's why I saw zombie sieges, wilderness survival, and Pansi Cave."
"This story seems to be even sadder than the one just now!" Bai Su stared at the tip of his tail and blinked a few times: "But I'm still curious, if you also fall asleep, what will come out?" ”
"There must be a Gundam." Shen Luotian replied without thinking.
Bai Su's body shook and almost fell off his shoulder.
You've got something in your head! Would you be afraid of Gundam? You're ...... If you insist on saying something scared......
It seemed to have thought of something, glanced at Shen Luotian vigilantly, and unconsciously shook its body.
"Don't move." Shen Luotian said solemnly, raised his hand and touched his neck: "Do you know that your body is full of hair, and it itches to death." ”
Bai Su lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking, but he rarely did not refute.
"Oh, yes. You asked me why you fell asleep, right? Shen Luotian shook the knife in his hand and said slowly: "It's actually quite simple, the layout of this place is a bit problematic." ”
"Someone's here?" Bai Su subconsciously asked, then closed his eyes, feeling something in the air: "It seems that there is a very low-level blinding formation, but it can also deceive ordinary people, how can it put down a few of us?" ”
"Not the formation you understand." Shen Luotian stretched out his knife and knocked twice on the concrete floor: "Take a look here." ”
Bai Su lowered his head and looked.
There is nothing special about the cement floor tiles, the potholes, the lack of edges and corners, and the wear and tear is terrible.
"What's wrong with this?"
"There's really nothing wrong with just looking at this piece." Shen Luotian put the tip of the knife into the gap between the floor tiles, and picked a small piece of cement along a knock-off gap: "Look at this gap." The shape looks quite ordinary, but in fact, we encounter such a gap every few steps. I didn't have a ruler to measure it, but I can assure you that the notches are exactly the same size and shape. ”
"So what?" Bai Su still didn't understand: "What does it mean to have the same gap?" Did anyone deliberately want to fix it like this? What's the point? ”
"Actually, there is also the shape of the floor tiles, but this explanation is a bit complicated for you, so I will briefly talk about it." Shen Luotian squatted down and picked up the piece of cement. Holding it in his hand, he pinched it into powder, and then let go of it, letting the gray-white powder fall to the ground, "The floor tiles in this place are quite evil, and they have been trying to hypnotize the people walking here with regular patterns. If you usually walk and don't pay attention to the floor tiles, you won't find those repetitive details, including the gaps in the floor tiles, the angle of alignment of the floor tiles, and so on. But if it's in a state of extraordinary moment. For example, when someone is being chased or something, the person will pay extra attention to the road under his feet, and when he notices these repeated similarities, he will easily fall into hypnosis. ”
"I'm sorry, I've tried." Bai Su looked at the moving floor tiles below, and said dejectedly: "But I really didn't understand a word." ”
"You just have to understand that somebody has painted a picture here for hypnosis and psychological suggestion. The effect is relatively strong, so you're all hit. Do you understand that? ”
"It seems so. Got a little bit. Bai Su hesitated and said: "I've heard of hypnotic psychological suggestion or something, the terrible spells invented by you humans have something to do with psychology, right?" ”
"Yes." Shen Luotian sighed with emotion: "Look, how far behind the times and my trend are, watch more news!" ”
"I don't want to watch the news." Bai Su pulled his neck and shouted: "I'm a fox fairy who receives incense and eats offerings, why should I watch the news!" ”
"Even if you engage in feudal superstition, you must keep pace with the times and combine science and technology! This fox fairy comrade! Shen Luotian said earnestly: "Don't you know that fortune-telling on the Internet is very popular now." If you have anything to ask for a signature, you can pray for blessings on the Internet...... Like you can not only ask others about their birthdays when you develop your business in the future, but it is best to ask about the constellations or something, and the current little girl can believe this. ”
Bai Su: "......"
It didn't even know how to refute it.
"I've heard of psychology students going to tell fortunes to people. People are accurate, and it's much more popular than those of you who just know how to memorize the yellow calendar and Zhou Gong's interpretation of dreams. Shen Luotian saw that it did not refute, but was interested. Continue to chatter: "Taobao, micro-business, Internet +, have you heard of it, now everything can be bought online, who do you think will pay such a big amount of money to go to the deep mountains and old forests to ask for a fox, you are about to lose your job, you know, if you don't hurry up and transform, just wait to starve to death." For example, if you look at this incident, isn't it just a pirated Gu Man Tong bought from Taobao, although the seller sells few real things, but people make money......
"Wait!" Bai Su's eyes lit up suddenly, interrupting Shen Luotian's words: "What did you just say?" What Taobao and what child? ”
"The pirated Kuman Tong sold in Taobao stores?" Shen Luotian subconsciously repeated, and looked at the fluffy little animal standing on his shoulder in confusion: "Kuman Thong, it's that ...... in Thailand."
"I know what that thing is, I mean, how do you know it's that thing, where did it come from?"
"That thing...... Didn't you come with Song Minghui's wife? Shen Luotian said in surprise: "You have been in the Song family for several years, and you don't even know about this?" ”
"I've never seen anything like that. Song Minghui's wife is the focus of yin qi on her body, and she doesn't carry dirty things. Bai Su replied quickly.
The two of them looked at each other, their hearts full of doubts.
"Hey, no, how do you know I've been in the Song family for years?" Bai Su was silent for a while. Then he suddenly asked: "Didn't that girl tell you Mingmei, where did you know about this nonsense." ”
"I know a lot of stuff, that's nothing." Shen Luotian lowered his head and smiled smugly at it: "If you want to know how I know about you, tell me how you know who I am first." ”
"Who are you?" Bai Su looked at him vigilantly for a while, then slammed to the ground, put on a threatening posture, and looked at him with bared teeth: "You are not that kid from the Shen family. Who are you? ”
"Don't you know who I am?" Shen Luotian looked at him with a smile, stretched out his hand and drew a complex pattern in mid-air: "I am Shen Luotian, and I am also the person you think in your heart, the two of us are one person, not not alone." Do you understand? ”
I just understood that I was trying to pretend.
Bai Su turned his head slightly, avoiding Shen Luotian's gaze and rolled his eyes. When he turned his head to look at him again, he changed his expression of awe.
The fox was originally a canine, and it stands to reason that its expression should be incomprehensible to humans. But the way it looks now, you can really see its awe from the heart.
"You ......," it whispered, "when did you come?" ”
"Just now, after someone fell asleep." Shen Luotian looked at it with a smile and pointed to the long white tail it was dragging on the ground dangling: "By the way, I was the one who stepped on your tail, if I didn't come out at that time, I'm afraid it would have become doomsday mode here." ”
"You're kidding." Bai Su took two steps back and laughed dryly: "The doomsday mode you came up with." You cleaned it up yourself, didn't you? ”
"That's just as well." Shen Luotian touched his chin and nodded, and then became serious again: "There is only one key question......
Bai Su held his breath and waited nervously for his next sentence.
"But I'm lazy!"
If I hadn't been able to beat you, I'd have given you a few claws right now, scratching your face and flowers, believe it or not!
It struggled to keep a "smile" and nodded.
"Makes sense."
"How could what I say not make sense!" Shen Luotian squatted down with a smile, picked up Bai Su on the ground, and stroked a few handfuls vigorously: "Oops." Plush, do you want to come home with me and be a hand warmer for me. ”
Bai Su shrank stiffly in his arms. Let him rub the neat hair on his body into a mess, and he didn't dare to say a word.
And it's not to blame either. The man now exuded some kind of dangerous murderous aura, like countless invisible but sharp knives, surrounding Bai Su, as if it only needed to move lightly, the pile of knives could stab him into a pile of minced flesh in an instant.
For some reason, Bai Su suddenly remembered a long time ago, when it was a fox cub.
That was when it wasn't weaned yet. Three days after his mother died in a hunter's trap, he and his four siblings in the same litter were hiding in the nest and almost fainted from hunger.
It was then that it heard the roar of a beast from deep in the mountains.
In that jungle. There has always been a legend that has been passed down since then: it is said that in the depths of that jungle, there lived a beautiful and powerful beast, which ruled over the birds and beasts of this forest, the mountain spirits and water monsters, and also blessed the creatures who lived in this land from the outside world.
The beast treats all living beings equally, and any creature born in this land, whether it is a smart human or a stupid reptile, even a delicate grass, will be blessed by it when it is born.
The creatures in this mountain are free to live or die, whether hunted or killed.
But if something from the outside world dares to come to this mountain to spread wild, then that god-like beast will appear and teach those little ones who don't know the height of the sky a lesson.
Because of the passage of time, everyone gradually forgot this story, and the people living in the mountain villages began to trade with the outside world, get married, and tell the story of a small mountain village with only a few hundred people gradually expanding into a city.
The beast never appeared in the process.
The animals living in the mountains, the living space has been compressed a little bit, hundreds of years of towering ancient trees are casually cut down and used as wood to make furniture, those who have gone through the calamity, in front of a little bit of consciousness of the herbs, also by the people to pick a lot of home, put in the market to be sold at a price.
The beast still didn't appear.
There are even rumors in the mountains that "the adult has abandoned us, and this place can no longer be inhabited", and many animals that originally lived here have migrated farther with their families.
Bai Su was born in such an environment. When it spoke, there was no one who had told the newborn creatures the same rule as a long time ago, "When you see the beast that rules the mountains and forests, you must bow your head and close your eyes, and you must not look directly at it."
The only thing it knew about the beast was that every day when he was grabbing milk with his friends, he listened to his mother say those two words.
For example, the beast was dressed in pure white hair, beautiful and elegant, and exuded a bright and cold silver glow that can only be found in the full moon.
Therefore, after hearing the roar, Bai Su struggled to free his body from under the two little foxes that were pressing him, and poked his head out to look at the place where the beast's roar came from.
It didn't see the legendary beast, but only a bright silver in the valley, illuminating the deep hollow valley as if it were day.
No, the silver light was even brighter than the sun.
Bai Su squatted in the nest and blinked, looking at the constantly changing silver light, and walked forward like a demon.
It was also small, with short legs, and stumbled and crawled for a while, and when it looked back, its own nest was still in its sight.
But it didn't care, just glanced back slightly, and continued to shake the dirty fur on its body, and ran towards the silver light with all its might.
If it was according to the situation at that time, and the distance between the silver light and the appearance of the silver light, even if Bai Su broke his leg, it would be impossible for him to catch up with the silver light. In the end, it could only fall miserably on the side of the road, and was taken by carnivores from unknown places and used as a supper to plug its teeth.
However, there are always accidents in this world.
The silver light lingered in the valley for a while, and as another howl came, the silver light quickly rushed in the direction of Bai Su.
Bai Su squatted in place, staring intently at the magnificent silver light, almost forgetting what he was going to do.
The first few hunters who ran in front of it were not as vigorous as usual, but with a dying expression on their faces, and they ran wildly, and they didn't even see the little fox on the side of the road.
Unfortunately, the silver light was faster than them, and it rushed to their side in the blink of an eye.
Only then did Bai Su see the true face of the animal under the silver light.
That's a ......
