In the next few days or more than ten days, it is more accurate to say that the side count of the Eternal Bell has changed from thirty-two to forty-seven, and the wind and waves are calm, and there is no abnormal sound in the world.

The vastness of the Netherworld is not a lie of Jingyuan.

The telescope has never revealed any terrestrial entities resembling the Great Wilderness or the Great Mausoleum, or any signs of land. Gu Chuan only looked at the distant skyline from the narrow bundle-like field of vision, and there were endless clouds.

He called it the cloud belt.

There is more than one cloud band, there may be many. The bands appear to be an enhanced version of the towers, probably about the same height as the towers, as high as the blue sky, but longer than the towers, and long enough to be lost at the end of the day.

Standing in the distance and observing the cloud belt, it is like standing on the waterside of the Rizhao River and looking at the mountains of Daejeung in the distance. The endless clouds cast the deepest and most indifferent lead-gray sky that young people have ever known.

The gloomy clouds were an eternal black wall, and no light could shine through. The telescope's own beam aiming only illuminates the edge of the mist, the outline of the mass that is constantly pulling and expanding on the dark cloud wall.

Tower-like clouds can go around in circles, but the super-large cloud belts may have to be crossed head-on.

The young man returned from the exterior observation chamber with apprehension, and in the afternoon, what might be called the afternoon, gently swinging the glass book and reading the next page of the design manual.

On that day, outside the window of the study, everything was confused, and the small clouds of scale-like clusters and large whale-like clouds were constantly flying around the dead or alive number against the netherworld.

Scaly clouds and cetaceans evaporate from the Netherworld and can be replenished at any time, like swimming fish that leap out of the water from time to time. It's just twice as big as a fish, and from a human perspective, none of them are overwhelmed, without all the vision, and then bring about a sudden change in temperature.

Scale clouds can also be ignored, but cetacean clouds are not to be ignored.

The living quarters of the three men occupy only a small portion of the middle level of the Dead or Alive. The gear machine spun the propeller in Balabala, and according to the order of the carrier, as it flew to the corridor of the middle level, and shouted:

"The fog is coming!"

The young man put down his pen and looked up at the outside scenery reflected by the glass wall, and saw that there were many fluffy things floating down leisurely.

At first sparsely, it soon became dense, and finally it was like a storm of wind and rain, and wave after wave of slamming against the hull of the ship with a harsh winter-like sound.

The snowflakes fluttered, and the young man's heart settled down again.

Based on the experience of sailing these days, these snowflakes of white floc are only quick-setting solids blown out of the shell of the clouds and mist at the moment of death or life, and there is no particular harm.

It was the sound of this snowflake that made Gu Chuan think that he heard the sound of playing cotton from a distant place.

Bouncing –

He laughed contentedly at the onomatopoeia of this world, perhaps only he knew the true meaning.

He recited the poems and songs that came out of his hometown, no longer thinking about the distant things in his memory, and put his head on the desk again, and continued to reenact the design and calculation of the ship according to the knowledge of the Gear Man.

Then the door opened.

The one who came was Hatsuyun. Hatsuyun leaned against the edge of the door, revealing a beautiful side face. She was going to ask Gu Chuan about what he said about the cloud belt in the external observation headquarters today. Chu Yun pays special attention to the knowledge of the cloud.

The young man's thoughts of learning were interrupted, but instead of being annoyed, he smiled. When Chu Yun asked, he was willing to talk about the sky, the earth, his own discoveries and classifications, different clouds, temperature, and everything he knew. If she refutes, he's willing to listen.

The two sat down at a small table, Gu Chuan set up a kettle, and Chu Yun poured two cups of hot water. Outside the window at that time, the white clouds and snow were boundless, and the clear water in their cups emitted white smoke and floated to the zenith amid the shy conversations of men and women.

When the young man had finished speaking, the girl frowned in confusion and asked:

"I see...... But why separate bands of clouds instead of larger towers? ”

"Because clouds are formed for a reason, they are by no means random. If it is random and random, how can we see such a kaleidoscopic but regular cloud? Even in the sky of Sunset City, we can see similar clouds under similar environmental conditions, right? This is not necessarily without regularity. ”

According to Gu Chuan's previous knowledge, the shape of clouds mainly depends on the air current, temperature and humidity, and the clouds floating in the sky at different altitudes are of different shapes.

He shook his head and said:

"Tower, cetacean, and scale clouds, I suspect that the mechanism of formation of these three clouds should be completely different. As for the cloud belt, I am afraid that there is also a reason why it is a cloud belt......"

When he said this, he raised his head, only to see Hatsuyun in front of him cutting his hair.

There was no water in the days of the Great Tomb and the Great Wilderness, and after there was water on the boat, Chu Yun cleaned her body very diligently, so her black hair was also moist and bright, and it was spread down like a waterfall, covering her ears and hanging down her chest.

Her small and delicate nose twitched slightly, and a pair of sparkling eyes met the young man's long-sighted gaze.

"Why do you keep looking at me?"

Gu Chuan knew that Chu Yun's question had absolutely no meaning of teasing.

But it was precisely because of this that he felt that she had a kind of innocent cunning. He coughed, and as soon as the words came out of his mouth, he changed to something else:

"Chu Yun, didn't you notice that our hair is very long? It's time for us to cut the cuts. ”

Hatsukumo's fingers detached from her waterfall hair and landed on her cheeks. Hatsuyun had never cut her own hair, first by her first doctor, then by her chief maid, and they would collect all the hair she had cut and take with them.

She has never done it herself, and she doesn't want the children in the sunset city and countryside to be urged by their parents to get a haircut, she often forgets about it.

"Cutting hair, cutting hair with a click, isn't it?"

"Yes." A straight man who has never understood the psychology of a normal woman said, "If your hair doesn't cover your ears, wouldn't you feel better?" And if your hair sticks in your ears, doesn't it feel bad? ”

"It seems like it does......

"So, we can cut each other's hair and cut off the excess strands so it's neat!"

Gu Chuan said seriously.

But what he forgot was that Hatsuun's thoughts shouldn't be from the perspective of normal humans.

The girl pondered for a moment, clapped her hands, and said with the same seriousness, and more seriously:

"Let's all cut our hair, Chuan."

This way, you don't have to think about hair.

Gu Chuan knew what it meant to lift a stone and shoot himself in the foot. He really wanted to cut the hair of the two of them, but before he spoke, he never thought of giving himself or Chu Yun a bald haircut!

But the girl is actually very serious.

The young man was in great distress.

And Hatsuyun has already taken action.

She first took out a rough knife from the warehouse, and then carried it back to the small study. Her complexion did not change at all, and she was still as peaceful as the snow on the top of the mountain, but the blade she picked up in her hand made the poor young man think that she was murderous.

"Now, I have three choices in front of me."

One is to shave a bald head with Hatsukumo. Well, speaking of which, is there any physiological harm to a bald head?

Obviously, as the proposer, he was now following behind Hatsuyun and touched his hair.

One is to persuade Chu Yun not to do it.

Gu Chuan felt that he could do it. Hatsuyun is willing to listen to him.

There is also the idea of obeying Hatsuyun, but not shaving himself. It's also a good choice.

As he thought for a moment, Hatsuyun had already arrived at the room they had chosen to be used as a bathroom. The washroom was originally used for water smelting, so it is equipped with a clean water circulation system. Gear people don't need to brush their teeth and wash their faces, and they don't need metallurgy for the time being, so the functions are interchanged, and the same water circulation is used as another way.

With great interest, Hatsuyun found a large white cloth that could be wrapped around his body, revealing only one head. This kind of haircut scarf has been widely used in Sunset City. When the maid gave Chu Yun a haircut, she had to cover her with a cloth.

After she put on her haircut scarf, she set up a small table and sat down in front of the mirror. Gu Chuan didn't move, so she asked:

"What's wrong? Chuan, what are you still hesitating about? ”

The young man's mind was chaotic, and he only hated that he had nothing to mention about a haircut. Obviously, life and death can be put aside, but this beautiful and ugly thing is always in my heart. He said:

"Are you serious? Hatsuun. ”

Outside, there was more sound of snow hitting the ship, and small, large, indescribably shaped clouds swept over the hull.

Through the searchlight of the Dead or Alive, the glass-like walls reflect the outside world infinitely graceful and mysterious. The continuous movement of light and shadow also flew over the bodies of the two people, as if they were in the clouds, two small flowers in the world.

Chu Yun silently turned her beautiful gray eyes, which were an emotional gaze that could not tell whether it was extremely deep or innocent. She whispered:

"Are you upset that I'm like this...... Then don't do it. ”

This is something she learned after meeting this man.

The young man's heart stirred for a moment, and his thoughts were delayed before his words said:

"It doesn't matter! If you want to cut it, I'll cut it for you. ”

Hatsuyun smiled.

This kind of smile is even more cunning in Gu Chuan's opinion.

After saying that, Gu Chuan no longer regretted it. He swapped the rough knife for a small, smooth pair of scissors. Then, he stood behind Hatsuun, held Hatsuun's long hair, and cut it off even more distressed than Hatsuun.

The hair was black snowflakes, and they fell silently on the girl's cloth like snowflakes, and then rolled down from the cloth and accumulated on the ground.

Chu Yun didn't dare to move. She sat there like a dedicated student, waiting for her hair to fly off one by one.

At first, it was a piece, but it soon turned into a bunch, Gu Chuan almost didn't want to look at the image in the mirror, but his technique obviously couldn't support him to cut blindly, he didn't want to hurt Chu Yun, so he could only watch himself cut his hair, until only a layer of fine hair roots was left on the girl's head, like a black curtain covering her head.

But even so, he actually felt that Chu Yun was more beautiful-

Just because the truly perfect facial features don't need any cover-up.

It's a natural, unadorned Peugeot.

For the first time, he realized that this statement was true.

"You're so pretty......"

When he said this, Chu Yun's eyes flashed, and he wrote down the sentence.

At this point, he didn't dare to cut it anymore, for fear of cutting Hatsuyun with a knife, and Hatsuyun also knew this, so he let the young man put the knife down and blew lightly on her head.

The air flow of a boy who loves cleanliness was warm and tickling on her bare head, and she squinted her eyes with pleasure or timidly, and let the fine strands of hair that remained between the roots of her hair fly into the light and shadow of the clouds and snowflakes with the blow of the young man.

"It's cut."

The young man said with a shyness that he had never felt before.

"Then it's my turn!"

Chu Yun smiled eagerly:

"What are you going to cut?"

The young man's choice changed from three to two, but he pursed his lips and didn't dwell on it anymore. He said:

"Cut it like you, and it's fine."

"Hmm."

The girl let out a slight sound, and then the guest and the host swapped, and Gu Chuan, who was sitting in the chair, closed his eyes and heard the sound of the hair being wiped off his head.

In the changing light and shadow, he seems to be in an eternal parting with some kind of past self.

When the voices were gone, he said:

"Are you alright?"

"Alright!"

Chu Yun said.

"How?"

He asked.

Chu Yun Says:

"You're so good-looking."

He opened his eyes and saw a handsome, bald self in the mirror. Then he couldn't tell if he was embarrassed or genuinely laughed.

"Why doesn't this man have hair!"

Before he could finish speaking, the girl blew on his freshly cut head with a scented breath from nowhere. He trembled and sat there, not daring to move, only daring to wait for the first clouds to blow.

As soon as Gu Chuan took off the cloth, the two big bald heads ran to the pool together, ready to wash their heads.

"The haircut is quite interesting, I don't know if there will be a chance in the future."

Hatsuyun feels that his craftsmanship is very good.

She unexpectedly gained more accomplishment from the haircut than she did from making up for the heavenly punishment.

Gu Chuan said:

"There will be."

"Why?"

"Because hair always grows back! And it's going to get longer, like it just did, isn't it? The young man said.

"That's true......"

Chu Yun nodded and said repeatedly in his heart.

The water is exceptionally bright in the light, reflecting the beautiful faces of two steadfast travelers.

The two big bald heads scared Mr. Dandan.

"Why do you suddenly want to be like me?" The smooth and white shellless boiled egg said, "Is it because you think I am beautiful in this life?" ……”

It really doesn't understand the aesthetics of this strange creature in front of it.

The egg is indeed beautiful, with a beautiful geometry, a smooth and evenly weighted arch structure, but all this beauty only works for the appetite. How can a carnivore that likes eggs want to be like an egg?

Mr. Dandan is immersed in deep thought about sociology.

And Zai Yi doesn't care about this - the gear man changes his legs and feet, and cutting his hair, isn't it just to remove metal mildew?

In the past few days, he has often gone out of the cabin, arrived outside the Death or Life, stood on the Death or Life to study the collision of snowflakes with the hull of the ship, and verified many conclusions.

He beckoned, showed some of the samples he had captured in the container, and said:

"I've taken a deeper look at these things that you call 'snowflakes'. These things, I think, are a hot, dense mixture of fluids, which are still netherworld water, not some kind of condensed solid as they seem. ”
