It's almost a tacit understanding. After the red cloud landed, Luo Binhan never mentioned the topic that was going on ten seconds ago. He neither thought about the distant grievances in a foreign land nor the final battle between the interstellar police and the murderous maniac, but rushed into the Silence menacingly.
"Get out of the way!" he shouted loudly when ∈ appeared to greet him, "let me go to the toilet!"
∈Follow him and say: "I think your bladder capacity can still be maintained."
Luo Binhan didn't want to discuss this matter with a being without a bladder. He thought that the toilet could be said to be the last pure land of his life as a mortal. The ritual of going to the toilet had a sacred meaning and had nothing to do with actual needs. He could go whenever he wanted. He readily shut ∈ out of the toilet door (it is said that Yaleriga prohibited the latter from all rights to monitor, transmit sounds or appear in the toilet area), and after he was done, he checked his hind legs.
The area scratched by Zhou Wenxing healed quickly and even scabbed. He didn't know whether this should be attributed to Jinghuang's red spring water or the miraculous effect of Lao Huamao's medicine. But to his annoyance, he discovered that the area where the ointment had been applied took on a strange, rich green color, as if a layer of moss had grown under his skin. He tried scraping with water, but nothing came off.
This situation made Luo Binhan feel a little worried. He put on his pants and walked out of the toilet, and was met by ∈ waiting eagerly outside the toilet. So he asked ∈ about the green behind his legs.
∈ said without interest: "I knew it earlier. That is Lepanting's secret medicine."
"What the hell?"
"They should call it Universal Scratching Cream, which is synthesized from plants produced in Lepanting. It contains trace amounts of ether ingredients, which can cause you to have various side effects." When Luo Binhan's expression changed, he added, "But in general It’s also directional and controllable. Cats like to use it to treat trauma, which sometimes causes sudden changes in their coat color.”
"They don't care about this at all?"
"They really like this." ∈ said mysteriously.
This was really difficult for Luo Binhan to understand, but he didn't take it to heart now. A certain emotion made him not very willing to go to Jing Huang now, and if the moss color persisted, he could consider changing to a sharper leg.
He walked leisurely back to the bridge room, but there was no one there. Robin Han didn't even forget that I was looking for Zhou Ba, but that weird little girl indeed disappeared again.
"Can you believe it?" ∈ said behind him: "This ship is so small, there are so many living people, but you are still alone now."
Luo Binhan couldn't help but became furious and almost called Yalijia to repair the out-of-control rudder. But in the end, he gave up and sat down in the soft chair in a depressed mood, staring at the top of his head with deep and unpredictable eyes.
"What are you thinking about?" asked him.
Luo Binchao sighed deeply: "Everything."
"You? Okay. What level of everything is that?"
"What are you farting on?" Luo Binhan said. He began to take out the lighter in his pocket and play with it. After a while he felt a little dissatisfied.
"Why a cat?" he asked confusedly.
"The result is always a cat." ∈ said quietly, "Difficult. Willful. Born to be the master of the world. Don't ask why, you can only accept it."
Luo Binhan was unwilling to give in. He knocked on the table and asked: "What about the dog? Isn't the dog's life important? Is there no happy home for dogs in this world?"
"Oh, that's not the case." ∈ replied, "I know there are them in the Divine Light Realm. They live on a remote and sunny small planet. You can walk around that place in a year. That place It's still a good tourist attraction, but they rarely show up in public. It's a national character, you know? The smaller ones are prone to injury, while the larger ones are quiet and shy guys, and they are very nostalgic for their homeland, unless you Take the initiative to get there, otherwise it's hard to see them out. You'd better not see them either - usually, the ones active out there are the most ferocious types, desperate thugs that give cats people a headache. You can Can you handle it?"
∈ He looked Luo Binhan up and down, and then nodded seriously: "I don't think so. Don't fight with the dog."
Luo Binhan suspected that he was peeping into his privacy, but he couldn't find any evidence for the time being. His hands were itching badly and he wanted to touch the squealing husky in his hometown. He asked with some resentment: "They never come out, so how do you know about them? Just rely on desperate thugs?"
"No, they are emotional writers." ∈ said, "They don't like to go to too far or strange places, but their emotions are delicate, which always makes them full of creative inspiration. Several of their writers are on the alliance's best-selling list superior."
This answer shocked Luo Binhan. He never felt that the husky in his hometown had any delicate emotions (although he had never seen a talking cat in Lihai City). It was so bizarre that he strongly requested that ∈ provide him with a related work. ∈ I told Luo Binhan with regret that there was none on the ship, because when Jing Huang first read the famous writer Jin Chachatan’s meditation on family relationships, for some reason those meaningful and tender words angered him, making the pirate leader think of all the All works by emotional writers have been deleted from the system.
Luo Binhan was speechless, and at the same time he became even more curious about the masterpieces of emotional writers. He asked reluctantly: "Shouldn't you have read a little bit? Can't you retell it?"
"I once had the complete works of Jinchachatan and Duwa." ∈ said sadly, "in my database. But our captain deleted them all, saying it was a waste of space. He also prohibited me from re-installing them from the star network. Download. Can you understand his behavior? I just want to recite some spiritual medicine to him before he goes to bed!"
He began to wipe his tears with a virtual towel, but when Luo Binhan was about to give up, he asked the robot to deliver several printed sheets of paper like a whirlwind.
"This was left secretly by the captain." He said proudly. "After she finished reading it, she forgot it in the scrap recycling box. I kindly collected it for her. I definitely can't reveal her privacy to the captain. Yeah, right? It’s about maintaining team harmony.”
Luo Binhan applauded him slowly, and then took the thin pieces of paper. He saw the title at the top that read: "About the Elf Who Protected My Family and His Last Music Show" - Kim Cha Chatan.
He began to read the first few paragraphs of the text, written in Alliance script:
That's a little sad to say.
Of course, just as the forest is filled with the heavy smell of withered leaves after the rainy season every year, my family members also grow older in each cycle of time. My wife's scent became mottled and muddy, and I could no longer rip through the wilderness, weighing down the dewy spring grass to form a steady family path. The job has been passed on to my children.
Alternation is a necessity. The elders always summed it up like this. However, even though I have accepted where I am, I still cannot help but feel a small and long sadness, a large part of which comes from the guardian spirit of my family.
He came from a far away place, a capital where elves lived. All the people there look similar to him, and most of the time they only walk on two hind limbs. They all look very cute, but their skin is very fragile because of its smooth hairlessness, and they have to be covered with it from other plants or animals all year round. Obtained shelter. Such elves will come to my hometown every once in a while to visit us earthly creatures. Most of them will eventually return from the sky to the realm of the elves, while others choose to stay and become guardians of one or more of our families.
Although most of these elves who are closely associated with us are quite fragile, they have a very long lifespan. The short one can reach two hundred rainy seasons, and the large one can have thousands (I have never seen such an ancient elf with my own eyes, I only heard about it from the guardian elf of my family). That means he can accompany a family for at least more than ten generations. Why did they come to earth? Obviously, it is to accompany us so that our difficult life will not be too lonely and depressed.
But I often think this way: maybe things should be understood the other way around. Maybe we exist to accompany these elves so that they can have something to rely on during their long lifespans. My family members, from my ancestors to my descendants, are cared for by this guardian spirit who came many generations ago. I am full of attachment and gratitude to him, but at the same time, my rationality also makes me notice the fact that his image is very different from the image passed down from generation to generation in the family. The hair that only grew on the top of his head became sparse and gray, his movements were slow and his hearing was dull, and he sometimes often forgot what I just said to him. There are various signs that he is very old as a guardian elf, and perhaps my grandson will become the last generation he protects...
Luo Binhan finished reading the content on the first page. He took a long breath, and the scene of the husky reciting affectionately to him emerged in his mind.
"How is it?" asked impatiently.
"It's different from what I thought." Luo Binhan said. He was about to read on, but then he noticed that his pocket was glowing. Something flashed inside as regularly as a headlight.
He put his hand into his pocket in surprise and took out the metal ring that Upsilon had left for him. The two disconnected rings are still flashing, but the frequency is getting slower and slower. Luo Binhan didn't know what this meant.
"Are you here?" he asked tentatively, remembering that Upsilon said this thing could sometimes be used as a listening device.
No one falls from the sky. The ring goes out and shines, goes out and shines. The extinguishing time is getting longer and longer, and the light emitted is getting weaker and weaker. At that moment, a strong sense of ominousness hit Luo Binhan's spine hard, causing him to jump up suddenly and want to find Jing Huang and Momoluo. He only had time to take two steps before the light of the circle suddenly and completely went out.
He looked at this scene in horror and almost forgot to breathe. Until a full ten minutes passed, the circle lay quietly in his palm, and no more light came on. ""
