17 What the hell is this?
Shi Que almost instinctively followed the sound to find, trying to find the figure in the depths of his soul that made him worry about him all the time. But in the end, nothing was found.
Shi Que understands that no matter how reluctant he is, it is time to really say goodbye. He can't be like a child, stuck in the past, stubbornly refusing to move forward. This is not what Shi Hayabusa wants.
Perhaps, this is why Shi Hayabusa let him enter the Folklore Research Institute! Just to let him have a buffer time to grief, and then with his expectations and blessings, out of his own path.
"I used to think that the years were very long, so I never told you that you were actually a good brother."
"It's the best brother......" Shi Que closed his eyes, thinking that he knew what he wanted most.
The memories of the past in my brain are like videotapes that are re-put away in a box after playback, and the screen images are also frozen in each videotape, and the final farewell screen.
In the newborn scene, the falcon is standing by the small bed of the time sparrow, watching in amazement as a cloud of mist envelops the time sparrow's whole body, and finally retracts into the top of the time sparrow's head.
Shi Que thought that he should have awakened the ability of differentiation as soon as he was born. And this white mist is the material he uses to materialize his awakening ability into an entity!
Shi Que's mind moved, and the white mist appeared again, but this time, it appeared in the palm of his hand. It was like a soft lump of mud, as long as Shi Que thought about it, this white mist could immediately create what he wanted in his heart.
And with Shi Que's thoughts, the white mist gradually formed an outline, and the familiar face was about to appear in front of Shi Que. Qingjun's facial features, eyes that are always smiling, winked at Shi Que lively.
It's the time falcon.
Shi Que was excited, and suddenly his thoughts became incoherent. He is indeed reluctant to give up his brother, but the containment of strange talk also looks like he is going to fight, others fight and throw weapons, what does it mean when he fights and throws falcons?
What's more, this aura doesn't look like a lot, and it can obviously only be concretized as the head of a time falcon. Throwing your head or something sounds even more terrifying, okay?
What's even more terrifying is that when he was about to materialize, Falcon's head was still vividly wink at him, like the poster hanging at home.
Daqing Oilfield!
Shi Que was alive, and the warmth faded instantly. He changed the shape of the figurative entity with a blank face. The white mist originally had the meaning of condensation, but the speed at which the sparrow changed the target was extremely fast, and in the end, the white mist could only be reluctantly dispersed and condensed into a new appearance.
Looking at the outline, it is an A3-sized book, with a thick spine and classical and complex dark lines at the corners, which looks very ordinary, no different from the most common paper books on the market.
"Did this succeed?" Qin Jue, who had been paying attention to Shi Que next to him, noticed that something seemed to appear above Shi Que's palm, and hurriedly asked Cai Zhuo.
Cai Zhuo approached to take a closer look, but was slammed away by a phantom.
"What's that?" Cai Zhuo was taken aback.
But I saw a one-meter-tall white falcon standing on the windowsill next to me. His fur was snow-white, and his glass-like eyes stared at him coldly.
Cai Zhuo shuddered uncontrollably and took a step back.
The white falcon suddenly spread its wings and pounced on the sparrow, crashing directly into the rectangular object in the sparrow's palm.
"! It's done! Cai Zhuo suddenly reacted, this white falcon should be related to the embodiment of the time sparrow. Although Shi Que had not yet fully woken up from the process of materializing the entity, he could already see the embodied objects in his hands.
Qin Jue didn't understand at first, but he quickly reacted that Shi Que had succeeded, and he also showed a slight smile on his face.
At the same time, the screen of Shi Que's mobile phone on the side also lit up suddenly, and a line of announcements suddenly flashed through the app of the Folklore Research Institute.
"Congratulations to Researcher 023 for the successful visualization."
Fake it!
At this moment, the summoning post that had been lively came to a halt in an instant. Not only inside the post, but also outside the TV station, the expression on the face of the emergency contact can be controlled, but soon, he received an emotional phone call.
"! Big brother is really not bragging! The younger brother is a demon. ”
"I'm going to die, I'm going to die. Boss, you didn't see it, as soon as the announcement came out, the few people around who were waiting to see the joke were all petrified. ”
"Laughing to death, all of them are waiting for their younger brother to die, so that they can come in and find clues about what the eldest brother hid back then. Hahaha, it turned out that my brother was successfully concretized, hahahaha. ”
"It didn't take half a day, just sour them to death!"
"My brother can't compare, my brother started from a genius, and he slapped their faces hard!" Listening to the emergency contact who didn't respond for a long time, the person on the other side of the phone was also a little anxious, "Oh, boss, can't we really demolish the building?" I really want to see Brother Shi Que sooner. ”
The emergency contact still ignored him, but first glanced at the forum of the Folklore Research Institute app.
Right now, the call post is a mess. A group of people went from watching the play to being shocked, from being shocked to being afraid. The emergency contact couldn't help but be happy, and said to the person on the other side of the phone, "Take care of all the people in L City." Don't spoil the situation until the sparrow comes out. ”
"Don't worry, boss, my brother's business is my business!"
At this time, in the TV station building, everyone was also curiously leaning over to look at the entity that Shi Finch had materialized. However, because the entity is still wrapped in white mist, it is somewhat unclear. But the intricate and mysterious patterns on the spine of the book have already amazed them.
Shi Que woke up in the admiration of everyone, but he was also stunned after seeing the book. It's really like, so to speak.
Shi Que finally decided to concretize the physical image, which was a book that he often read when he was a child. It was also a gift to him on the day that Shi Hayabusa decided to live with him after the death of his parents.
Shi Falcon was only thirteen years old, and after the funeral, people came to persuade Shi Falcon almost every day, saying that you can't live like this, and it is best to send Shi Que to an orphanage. In this way, Shi Falcon can live on the relief money, and he can usually save some money and go to see Shi Finch.
Shi Falcon's heart moved. So he took Shi Que to visit the welfare home recommended by the community. The children inside are still living a decent life, at least they are well fed and clothed.
And without the Sparrow, the burden on the Falcon himself will be much lighter.
On the way back from visiting the welfare home, the always lively Shi Falcon rarely opened his mouth. Shi Que didn't say anything.
The atmosphere of silence continued until homecoming. Shi Que quietly took off his shoes and entered the house, while Shi Falcon stood at the door and watched Shi Que for a while, then suddenly closed the door and turned to leave.
Shi Que sat on a small chair in the room, and did not open his mouth to hold Shi Falcon. He hadn't even told Shi Falcon once from the moment he heard that he might be sent away, and he didn't want to leave.
Because he knew that raising him and carrying his life was not fair to Shi Falcon.
But in the end, the falcon chose to stay with the sparrow.
That day, Shi Falcon went out for a long time, and when he came back, Shi Que originally thought that he was going to tell him about going to the orphanage, but Shi Falcon took out a very, very thick encyclopedia from his arms. There is also a dictionary to teach Shi Que together.
This was paid by Shi Falcon in a used bookstore, and it was not worth much, but it was already two days' worth of food for them at that time.
"Sparrow, will my brother raise you in the future?" Shi Falcon hugged Shi Que hard, as if he was comforting him, and as if he was giving himself courage, "Brother will be very busy in the future, and he may not be able to accompany you as before, you can only read books by yourself at home during the day." If I don't have time to come back at noon, you'll have to eat a cold meal. ”
"But if you go to a welfare home, you have a lot of kids of the same age playing with you, and you eat better than you do now. The teachers are also very gentle. Can it be ...... like that We don't have a home anymore. ”
"Stay with me! Brother will try his best to raise you, as long as you have a family, we are not children that no one wants......" Shi Falcon's eyes were red and his words were messy, but his eyes were extremely determined.
Shi Que nodded solemnly and agreed to Shi Falcon.
Then they began fifteen years of dependence on each other. It is also the most precious and happiest fifteen years of the sparrow.
Shi Que touched the cover of the book, the size, thickness and even the feel were exactly the same as in his memory, even the place and arc of the collision angle were the same. On the cover, the white falcon soaring in the sky looks sharp, but its eyes are exceptionally soft. It's the same as when he was a child, when he first picked him up.
Shi Que felt the weight of his palm, but his heart was extraordinarily warm.
"Is this a book? Is there a word in it? Qin Jue has also been paying attention to Shi Que, and he feels very strange when he looks at the book that suddenly floats in his palm.
"There shouldn't be any content, this is the item that the Differentiator's awakening ability is concretized, mainly used to contain strange stories." Cai Zhuo continued, "I've heard that it takes a long time for a differentiator to condense an entity for the first time. Shi Qi, have you practiced this before? ”
Shi Que shook his head, "For the first time." ”
“…… Demons. Forget it, tell me what your abilities are, maybe we can contain the weird talk above. ”
"This ...... I really don't know. Let me first see what is on the embodied entity! ”
Shi Que's heart moved, and the pages on his palm automatically opened without wind. There are really words on the title page - Strange Talk Gossip Weekly.
"......" Shi Que only glanced at it, and then closed the book in silence.
The expressions of the crowd also became strange. Cai Zhuo and the emergency contact have said before that the embodiment of the entity is the embodiment of the essence of the differentiator. So Shi Que seems to be serious about scientific research, but in fact he is this kind of person?
Regardless, a blank book doesn't seem to be able to contain the weird. And the specific use of differentiation ability is also a secret between the differentiators, so Cai Zhuo doesn't know how to operate it.
So, Shi Que opened the app and contacted the emergency contact again.
"The embodiment has been successful, how can I successfully contain the strange talk?"
"What's your item?" The reply was quick.
Shi Que hesitated for a second and replied, "Book." ”
This time, it took a while for the other side to give feedback.
"Book-like entities are used in many directions, some are similar to mages, and the embodied books have incantations on them that can be recited, as a means of attack and containment. Some people are drawing, and if they draw the appearance of being contained, they can be successfully contained. What is the direction of this book of yours? Isn't there a word on it or something? ”
Shi Que thought for a while, "Newspapers." ”
"......" This time, Rao is experienced S-class also fell silent.
Shi Que understands that I am afraid I can only rely on myself. So how exactly is "Gossip Weekly" going to contain strange talk? Is it possible to bring a camera to unearth the secrets of the strange story, and then compile it into a report before it can be contained?
That's!
Shi Que turned his head to look at his teammates.
However, Cai Zhuo and the others were even more dazed than Shi Qi.
Eight eyes met, and the four of them were in the stairwell.
However, at this moment, there was a loud noise upstairs, which made their nerves tense again.
The ground shook, as if there had been an earthquake, and the whole building shook violently. And with the tremor of the stairs, dust kept falling from the upper floors. There were even small stones that rolled down from the upper floors and landed at their feet.
"! It's not like the stairs are going to collapse! Qin Jue reacted quickly.
Shi Que frowned and beckoned everyone to hurry up and run downstairs.
"Si Wu has a peculiarity and can only be found on stairs. If the stairs collapse, Si Wu will definitely disappear, and that monster will continue to pursue us! ”
"Run first!" Before he had time to think about how this embodied gossip weekly would contain the strange talk, Shi Que didn't even have time to put the book away, so he could only clamp it under his arm, and then quickly ran downstairs.
As if to verify their guess, there was another loud bang, and the air was instantly filled with dust. Darkness was also rapidly approaching their direction.
Shi Que and the others couldn't care about anything else, so they could only run for their lives with all their might.
The number of stairs changed rapidly, but eventually darkness caught up. Unexpectedly, when they ran to the staircase on the fourth floor, the darkness stopped.
Why?
Everyone gasped and felt a little strange. After what happened before, they did not end their lives because of this, but raised their vigilance to the top.
After all, there is only one other strange talk that can limit the strange talk, except for the very powerful differentiators.
"I won't carry it like this!" Cai Zhuo felt as if he was dancing on the tip of a knife.
But soon, the disappearing third-floor staircase confirmed his statement, "Damn! What kind of ghost story is this, is there more than one weird talk in a TV station? ”
Cai Zhuo's whole person was not good, and then the surrounding environment made him even more creepy.
"Look!" Qin Jue's voice trembled, he was bold, and he had been very calm until now, but this time, his voice was full of fear.
Shi Que turned his head in the direction of his finger, and at the door of the emergency escape door on the fourth floor, in front of the trash can just one step away from entering the corridor on the fourth floor, there was a man smoking a cigarette. He stood stiff with a pleasant smile on his face, as if he was talking to someone in the door. But his pale skin and unheaved chest told the others that he was supposed to be dead.
Shi Que looked at it from a distance, and always felt that something was not right, this person's posture was a little strange, not so much an accident when smoking, but an accident when eating something.
At this moment, it seemed that there was still some food residue left on his mouth.
Bai Ming touched his stomach, and suddenly said, "I'm hungry, roasted sweet potatoes!" ”
