Chapter Seventy-Four: Scrap Iron and Little Red Riding Hood
The half-elf boy regained his strength while slowly walking on the way back to Silent Town, and in the stream he passed, he washed his face with cold water.
He had to regain some strength and strength to deal with this strange silence, all kinds of strange things that could happen at any time.
After returning to the silent town, this time he went door to door to pick the door lock.
No clues found.
It took him about two and a half hours to inspect nearly a hundred residents of Silent Town, and he randomly broke into their homes to check on them.
The hundred half-elven inhabitants were all in a static wax state, and the whole person was like a spider in amber, sealed in static time.
There was silence in the darkness, and there was a slight feeling of cold hairs standing on Loki's back.
And when he returned to the town, he always felt like a gaze was on him, but the visual images and the feedback from the acoustic auditory system told him that no one or anything was watching him.
Even looking at the system logs yielded nothing.
The quantum biological computer that the half-elf boy has relied on recently seems to have a big problem.
......
At this time, the blue and red moons have slowly descended in the night sky, and it will not be long before the sky will dawn.
Loki went to the southwest of the town, home to the Instructor, Barney Longbow Sr., who was an outsider like the half-elf boy.
It's not necessary that he really doesn't want to come to this kind of place, because Barney Sr. is the only professional in Silent Town, and although his melee ability is very scummy, his ability to shoot arrows with a longbow can easily threaten Loki's life.
After another skillful lockpicking, Loki pushed the trainer's home open and went straight to the bedroom where Barney Sr. was resting on the second floor.
Sure enough, Barney Longbow Sr. lay on a large wooden bed, his eyes wide and staring at the ceiling of his bedroom, as if he were sealed in still time, no different from the others.
I have to think of something else, Loki sighed in his heart, and turned around to leave.
At this time, Barney Longbow's pupils suddenly moved, and then the entire eyeball quickly turned upward, revealing the entire whites of the eyes.
In an instant, his eyeballs flipped dozens of times in a row, and the colors of the pupils and whites of his eyes in his sockets kept changing.
In the silent and quiet environment, a 'ratt~squeak' sound of wood squeezing and rubbing suddenly broke this quiet.
Loki looked back in astonishment, just in time to see old Barney Longbow sitting up, and also looked at him, but his eyes were a little different from human.
Old Barney suddenly said in a dry voice, "You, who is it?"
Loki didn't answer, looking at him calmly, sneaking behind his back with one hand behind his back towards the tactical clawblade.
"Who am I? Where am I? Where is this?"
While muttering strangely to himself, his eyes quickly rolled back twice, and Loki saw clearly this time, and his heart began to become more vigilant.
"I remember, I'm Barney Longbow Sr., the Silent Town Instructor, but why did you come to my house to steal something from my house, a child from a small town?"
Old Barney turned back to his usual state, and looking at the half-elf boy, he suddenly shouted a little angrily, and got up to catch the mischievous half-elf boy.
Loki didn't want to cause any more trouble, so he walked out of Barney Sr.'s house while the instructor was angry and looked for shoes, and soon disappeared from the streets outside.
......
It turned out that at this time, the sky outside had already been overcast, and the gap in the row of towering giant trees at the edge of Silent Town reflected a little bit of sunlight, slightly sprinkled throughout the town.
It was dawn, and once the night had passed, time seemed to flow suddenly, and the bodies of the inhabitants were no longer still, and everyone's memories reset, and everything returned to the way it had been the day.
Loki tightened his hood and returned to the SAINT ANGELO Hotel, pretending to be an outsider.
For the next few days, Loki returned to the SAINT ANGELO Hotel every night to rest, and during the day, he would go outside Silent Town to find a way out.
Using the positioning of the stars, Loki took due north as the midpoint of 0 points, and re-divided a total of 12 exploration directions in the exact digital map.
Carrying a certain amount of food each day, Loki set out in the morning and headed straight into the outer wilderness of Silent Town.
It took almost ten days to explore a multi-area area.
This is not only a test of the physical strength of the half-elf boy, but also to be wary of the poisonous insects and beasts in the dense forest, and it is necessary to maintain concentration at all times, which is also a great drain on the spirit.
Loki held a dog-legged knife and shuttled through the dense forest with less than ten meters of visibility, the damp mist made him uncomfortable for a while, but he didn't dare to show any excess skin in order to be careful of thorns or poisonous insects.
A poisonous snake with a green pattern suddenly hung down from the branch above, Loki didn't blink his eyes much, and his right hand holding the dog-legged knife was reversed.
Half of the snake's body was cut off by a sharp blade, and a stream of red blood fell from the tree.
The half-elf boy cut off another branch, and used the branch to fix half of the body of the poisonous snake on the ground, and then knocked the snake's head, which still had some nerve reflexes, to a shred with the back of the knife.
He threw the snake meat into his backpack, and he might be able to renew his meal in the evening.
Not only do quantum computers need to be supplemented with bioenergy, but the fast-growing body at this age also needs a lot of food.
The optic nerve image shows a row of body data, after the recent adequate food supplement, the weight has recovered and increased a bit, to 40.2kg, at the same time, his height and strength have also increased slightly, and finally he is no longer as malnourished as before.
The pseudo-field of view, a piece of digital information, is a graph of a star cluster in motion.
This is the peripheral detection image of the optic nerve showing astral consciousness, and since the last time the Brazilian War Dance information beam was randomly displayed, two more information beams have appeared, one of which is useless iron slag and does not have any concrete value.
The other object is a red baseball cap with the names Bubba and Gan printed on it, from a movie called 'I Am Fox Gan'.
Loki is no stranger to a red baseball cap, but it also has little concrete value.
Therefore, two star-like beams of information were temporarily stored in the deep consciousness space by him.
As the afternoon drew to a close, the dense forest surrounding the mist had become somewhat dark, and Loki gradually stopped his exploration and began to return to the town the same way he came.
The SAINT ANGELO Hotel is the best place to rest, rest and eat good food, even if he is in a hurry to escape the Silent Town, he does not want to drag his body down in the wild.
Old Mandel brought a small pot of snake soup, which Rocky paid for two coppers, and added some mushrooms and cassava to stew, and the broth prepared by the boss of SAINT ANGELO was indeed delicious and nutritious.
Through the wooden window, Loki looked at the almost dark sky, there were not many pedestrians on the street, and he noticed two figures with anxious faces.
It was a bunch of young couples looking for naughty children, Mr. and Mrs. Agernon and Mr. and Mrs. Pamela.
There aren't many half-elves in the town with no surnames, and Loki's memory store is destined not to be forgotten.
'Ding~dang' metal spoon fell into the soup bowl.
Loki's gray eyes froze suddenly.
