I know astronomy and geography, but I just don't answer your questions. —Ubari Insan

"My name is Ubari!" The ancient book bites the words one by one and says clearly.

Ma Jiujun was so frightened that he shrank into the corner to hide, his drowsiness disappeared in an instant, and he held the futon to cover his head, only showing one eye to look at it.

Ubari stood on the ground, unlike what he had seen last night, with a small mouth, two eyeballs, and a chilling dark red octagonal sun on his forehead.

Ma Jiujun was sure that there was nothing wrong with his ears - it could speak, as if it had come to life, and it was also speaking human language, which was incredible!

Don't panic beforehand, he calmed his anxious heart and tried to keep up with the fast pace of disturbing his heart, but fortunately, he had been vaccinated by Uncle Zhe before.

Under the leadership of Uncle Zhe, he has tasted a lot of strange things, the super-large bloodthirsty shark in Ganyuan in the west, and the fierce long-tongued frog in Ganshan in the north, the former directly became the shadow of childhood, and the latter almost took his own life.

Although they are all people who have seen "snake", there is nothing to make a fuss about, but this is the only book that can talk, and it is really the first time I have seen it, so it is inevitable that I will not panic.

He came up with two conjectures to explain the "book can speak": first, the book is actually a beast, an extremely rare species that not only has a non-physical body, but is also capable of mastering the unique speech skills of humans.

But this speculation did not hold water, and he had read the history books that Uncle Zhe had bought about the origin of the strange beasts, which could be traced back to about 300 A.D. There have been incidents of anomalous creatures harming humans around the world, and these creatures are collectively known as "Strange Beasts" due to their huge size and extremely destructive abilities.

Strange beasts, different from beasts! But the premise is that it is a beast, and flesh and blood are called beasts. He once found the "Illustrated Book of Strange Beasts" made by a painter named "Gao Baoluo Fan" in his aunt's collection in the utility room of the small blue house, which contained the portraits of most of the strange beasts around the world.

Second, the book has been tampered with, and last night he remembered that he had obviously picked it up and pondered it, it was very ordinary, and it didn't necessarily move it. Besides, how he got back into this room, he didn't remember at all, he couldn't sleepwalk back, right?

He thought about it carefully, and it was not ruled out that someone was playing tricks! For example, the use of sound generating devices and remote control technology. But there was not a single outsider in a radius of ten miles, and he didn't see the ronin who wandered nearby last night...... Suddenly, he found a clue, because the news of the ronin came out of Uncle Zhe's mouth, and Uncle Zhe, as a housekeeper, did not give him much "fun" on weekdays, and there was no way to verify the authenticity of this one-sided statement...... Isn't it Uncle Zhe's ghost?

Ma Jiujun cleared his throat and yelled vigorously: "Uncle Zhe, I'm going to die!" Come and save me! The sound pierced through the thick walls, carried through the hallway, passed through the drawing-room, passed through the door, and climbed up the small mound, disturbing the swarm of wild bees that were gathering honey, and they stopped their work and flew east.

"Scattered! Scattered! Ubari said in a relaxed tone, "No need to shout, I've checked everything, there are no bad people outside!" "It jumped into the wind and scurried around the studio, like a monkey that hadn't climbed a tree for a long time, and it looked very naughty!" It's wonderful! I want to keep flying until I run out of energy! ”

Ma Jiujun didn't dare to take his eyes off the book, and now that no one answered, he could rule out the possibility of Uncle Zhe's trouble. But the situation has gone to the side of trouble, and the first conjecture can only be used to tentatively identify Ubari as an alien beast, a very special kind. It's hard to believe that he can feel the signs of life in Ubari, this guy has a name, knows how to "check", can "distinguish bad guys", and with the tone of his voice, he is so similar to a human. As usual, the beast has always been fierce and disgusting, but when he analyzes the tone of Ubari's speech, he has no hostile meaning.

Ubari hovered in front of the silent Ma Jiujun, interrupted his thoughts, and said softly, "Yinsan, why don't you speak?" It stared, its black pupils unadulterated with no impurities, as pure as a child. At first, he didn't feel it, but now he has an indescribable feeling, as if Ma Jiujun and Ubari have known each other for many years, and he asked back flatly: "Who is Insan?" He tried his best to hide his uneasiness in his tone, and he didn't dare to be careless when he spoke, for fear of angering Ubari, after all, he hadn't figured out the other party's origin.

"Cause is cause and is my cause!" Ubari happily adhered to the futon he clutched, and was in a very happy mood, "Give me the cause of existence to express my existence to this void world, let me touch the fragile life attached to all things, and dispel all the injustices in the world, until the light covers every corner of the world." Swear by the octagonal sun on my forehead, always follow you, protect you, my cause! ”

This sudden oath and unequal relationship made Ma Jiujun listen to it for a while, this guy was still nervous and didn't know what he was happy about, he inexplicably felt that he was a fool compared to one of them with fear. He really couldn't hold his breath, leaned back against the wooden door and said with a puzzled and dissatisfied face: "My name is Ma Jiujun, not what is called Yin San." If you had denounced me for breaking into your study last night and disturbing your rest, I admit it was reckless. But who are you? Why did it appear in my uncle's study? There are only a few people I remember, but none of them are named Ubari. ”

"You're murdering me?" Ubari's tone wilted a little, and his enthusiasm was poured with cold water, and it was inevitable that no one would be disappointed. It put on an aggrieved look, flew to the workbench, lay still, and was silent for ten seconds before honestly answering Ma Jiujun's question: "My name is Ubari Insan, and this name was given to me by my uncle - I like it very much." How many years is it now? (Ma Jiujun said it was 1934.) That is...... Nine, no, it's been ten years, I can't remember the specific day, before my uncle left, he left me in the study, and told him that if someone wanted to find him one day, the book would provide clues. (Ma Jiujun was surprised that it actually had this kind of relationship with his uncle.) My uncle is very nice, it's just that we haven't been together for long. After he left, he never reappeared. ”

After listening to its explanation, Ma Jiujun suddenly remembered that Bai Sha, who was tied to the stone door, also said the same thing, if you want to find your uncle, you can dig out information from ancient books.

He smiled, every muscle in his body was as comfortable as a full-body massage, and he cut off half of the boulder hanging in his heart, which was extremely relieved at the moment.

Uncle he will definitely find it, to tell the truth, the world is not peaceful, the news in the newspaper for three days did not exaggerate the cruelty and chaos outside the ruins, during which he also kept asking Uncle Zhe to find out the whereabouts of his uncle, but the result was nothing. He once thought that his uncle, who had not heard from him for ten years, might have ...... Gone! However, judging from the current situation, at best, my uncle must still be living in some corner of the world, maybe for unspeakable reasons why he can't come back! But it doesn't matter, he knows how to be flexible, since his uncle can't come back, then he can go and find it!

recalled that when I was a child, I spent two short years here with my uncle and aunt, which was not a long time, but Ma Jiujun was very happy. He longed to be able to return to that afternoon when the three of them lay together on the small mound, watching the setting sun over Ganshan Mountain and sipping sweet refreshments against the soft and colorful sunset. They are already irreplaceable existences, and they are the closest and most loved people in the world to Ma Jiujun. Thinking of this, he couldn't wait to look forward to the day of the meeting.

Ubari turned sideways to open the first page of the book, and on the paper that should have been blank was written five large characters of "Ubari Insan". He took a closer look, reached out and touched the texture of the font, and sure enough, it was exactly the same as his uncle's handwriting, it seemed that it was not deceiving, and his uncle had already left a clue, and he must have expected such a day sooner or later.

But he found something strange with his sharp eyes, obviously the book cover and paper have been yellowed (some of them show signs of brittleness), why these five words still look like they were just written, there is no sense of hiding ten years of old feeling at all. He was going to study the ink on it, but Ubari couldn't stand being touched by him, and the book was a part of its body, and it itched to scratch it. It tossed away from Ma Jiujun's hands, and thought that he was torturing himself, so he said angrily: "If Yinsan hates me, then disarm the ability, don't play with me like this!" ”

Ma Jiujun was confused by what it said, and hurriedly said, "Disarming ability? What do you mean? ”

It turned around and asked angrily, "Is Insan pretending to be confused?" ”

"Do you think I'm a fool?" Ma Jiujun put on a serious look, every time he pondered something he couldn't figure out, he would be very competitive, as if he was overcoming the difficulties of mechanical manufacturing, "Besides, I'm not playing with you, I'm surprised why those fonts are new as if they were just written......"

It really didn't lie, it didn't need to look at it to know that Ma Jiujun was telling the truth, and later, it remembered a key thing, and hurriedly interrupted him, saying, "Because of the dispersion...... When you saw me before, I was just a normal book, right? Ma Jiujun nodded, compared to a talking book, the previous strange wind, Qingguang, and Baisha were indeed ordinary. Could it be you...... Don't know why I can speak? ”

Ma Jiujun naturally said his conjecture: "You know, you are a strange beast!" It's just that it's a relatively unique kind, and it's the first time I've seen it, even in Ganshan and Ganyuan, it's hard to find a second beast that can speak. ”

Hearing the words "Beast", Ubari became happy and said to him: "Hehe, so that's the case, no wonder I feel that you have been worried, I also went to check the surrounding situation, it turns out that I am the reason why Insan has been on guard!" ”

He frowned slightly: "Did I say something wrong?" ”

Ubari said coldly, "I'm not a beast! ”
