Krafft's Anomaly Notes

Chapter 72 It is important to follow the doctor's advice

Lucius left after lunch, probably because he felt that he was not helpful, and left in a hurry after only eating two servings.

Billing is of course in Kraft's hands.After chatting with the boss for a while, he returned to the attic, picked up the stack of papers again, put them in the sunlight, and used arrows to mark the shrinking trend of the light-colored area around the blue dot representing Kupp.

"It seems that I still don't feel at ease." Kraft's little obsessive-compulsive disorder broke out.He's the kind of person who feels like he didn't fill in the questions after every exam, and the more he thinks about it, the more he feels uncomfortable.

Today's afternoon nap is a mess.Picking up the box and putting on the mask, Kraft pushed the door out and walked towards the salt tide area.

Today's affairs are over, I don't want to know what's going on with this thing, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep.It's like a thorn pierced into the skin. It's not very painful, but the small tingling pain from time to time makes people feel uneasy.

In order to calm his restless heart, he set off with a little patience that had not been smoothed out by the complicated investigation.

Many days of back and forth experience made him get used to walking here, and the narrow and winding roads no longer hindered his pace.Avoiding wooden beams lightly, stepping over piles of debris, even more familiar than locals.

After losing Lucius, who couldn't walk fast anyway, Kraft's speed increased, and he went straight to the target along the map in his mind.

Soon, he arrived at his destination, the light-colored area on the map.

After distinguishing the direction for a while, I decided to start by verifying Lucius' guess.Visit Coop first, sacrifice your precious nap time to talk to him, maybe there is really something unspeakable?
In the past, most of the time to go to this area was late, and there were not so many opportunities to learn more about it.

Wishing to have a more frank exchange, Kraft knocked on the door of Coop's house.This is a small shack even in the salt tide area. The owner has left a rare open space on both sides because he has lived alone for a long time and has no desire to expand, but it is also occupied by various sundries.

"Dong dong dong."

The very restrained knock on the door stopped three times and had a considerable sense of rhythm. The residents who have been here during this time are probably used to it.If the door is not opened, there will soon be a voice calling the owner's name.

"Kup, are you home? I have something I want to talk to you alone." Kraft yelled inward. A considerable number of people in the salt tide area are hard of hearing, and sometimes they have to raise the volume.

Looking at the height of the sun above his head, it should not be noon yet, but it's not too early. If Kupu's recovery is similar to that of others, it may not be that he has gone out by now.

"Kup?" He called again tentatively.

"Oh, Mr. Kraft?"

The sound came from the side, and the wooden door of the neighbor's house was pushed open. An elderly woman heard the sound and pushed the door to come out.

"Is this looking for Cooper?"

"Yes, but it's not a big deal." Kraft gave up calling the door, recalled the memory of the last time he came here, and naturally entered the follow-up state, "Your grandson's hand didn't hurt anymore, did it?"

The last time the child was dragged out of the house by his impatient father, his elbow had been hurting for a long time when he realized that something seemed to be broken, to the point where he couldn't move at all.

If it is given to the few guys in the salt tide area who "know a little bit of medical skills", it is estimated that the standard procedure is to apply some strange ointment, and the child's hands will be completely finished.

Thanks to Kraft, who just happened to come across him during his return visits. Hearing these words, he was very familiar with them. The child’s elbow pain caused by hard pulling, typical subluxation of the radial head, is a classic of manipulative reset.

It is rare to encounter a disease that is easy to bully, how can this be let go?It's easy to press, pull, rotate and bend the elbow, and the pain disappears after reset before reacting. The child stares blankly at such a set of operations, and his activities are not hindered.It has the demeanor that the protagonist of the scripture story will recover from illness after touching it.

If it can't cure a serious illness, it can't cure you?It has to be said that this allowed Kraft to gain a little bit of confidence in the long-term torment of miscellaneous diseases in the salt tide area, and it also effectively won the trust of the family.

Hearing Kraft ask this, the old woman smiled on her wrinkled face, "No, of course not, thank you very much."

Kraft didn't ask them for a reward. Out of simple thoughts, since she came to find Kupp, she wanted to provide some help within her ability, so that she could ask for help next time she had a minor illness.

"If you are in a hurry to find this kid, I have a way to see what he is doing."

She led Kraft around a large pile of debris and turned to the backlit side of the shed. Under Kraft's surprised gaze, she pushed a wooden board that seemed to be firmly nailed in, and half of the people Gao's loopholes are then exposed.

"Ah? How do you know this?"

"My son gave him this board. Sure enough, this lazy man is so lazy that he can't even spare the effort to nail it on." Her tone was full of disdain for the neighbor, "I'm too lazy to do anything, and I get up late."

The old woman could not stop talking, and the old woman pointed to a dark corner inside, probably a place on the floor to show Kraft, "If everyone is better now, he still won't wake up until noon, I think he just I am used to sleeping, anyway, the whole family will not be hungry if one person is full..."

"Yes." Kraft replied, and he had already started to record the neighbor's evidence in his mind.

"You have to wait for him to wake up for a while, but you have to be careful with this guy. He doesn't work hard, and there are many ways to steal and play tricks..." She went back after thinking about it, and she couldn't get used to this neighbor. look.

"Okay, okay, thank you, this is really helpful." Now that he was confirmed to be at home, Kraft pulled the wooden board back to its original position and waited at the door.

It didn't take long, probably less than half an hour according to the subjective feeling, when there was the sound of rustling and moving inside.Kraft knocked on the door again.

"Who, it's so early in the morning!" The man in the room complained and opened the door, dissatisfied that someone disturbed him as soon as he woke up.However, when he opened the door and saw the person in front of him, his casual expression immediately subsided.

"Oh, Mr. Kraft? I didn't know it was you."

"It's me, can I bother you for a while? I have something to ask you, it may be very important." The opening remark was similar to the usual, but the voice behind the beak mask was a little heavy and less friendly, It has more serious meaning.

The last time Kupp felt this way was in front of the priest, when he was asked "Are you guilty?" He was so frightened that he even took away half a piece of bread from a worker who worked with him a month ago, but the priest strictly ordered him to eliminate his sins, To avoid hell, you have to go to church and give your sincerity.

His eyes drifted away, and he faltered and spelled out "Of course."

"Then I thank you in advance, Kupp. This issue may be related to the safety of more people, and they live around you." Kraft put pressure on him.

The topic changed, "But generally speaking, most problems will not have too bad an impact if they are dealt with early."

Kupp nodded quickly to express his understanding. From his expression, Kraft could guess that there must be a problem, the difference is only in the size.

"First of all, I want to ask, is it possible that you have misremembered a lot of what you told me about the wake-up time recently because you were sleepy?"

"I didn't..." Cook wanted to deny without thinking.

Kraft took a step forward, almost poking his forehead with the tip of his beak, and stopped his words, "No hurry, think again. There is also a second question, have you ever had any kind of dream, think about it carefully .”

The bird's head with red lenses tilted slightly, as if he had moved his neck a bit. The height that was already much taller than Kupu brought a lot of pressure.

Kupp lowered his head to avoid his sight, but saw that the left hand with the black glove was intentionally or unintentionally placed on a raised object under the black robe.He had heard that the doctor carried a sword with him, and those who claimed to have seen it boasted that it was a dreadful weapon capable of cutting a man in two with a wooden wall.

"Think again, I have a lot of time today."

It was mild, but the tone sounded like "You don't have much time."

Finally, under the pressure, Kupp seemed to weigh the pros and cons, and finally managed to say: "Thinking of it this way, I might indeed be drowsy."

"Tell me specifically." Kraft nodded, and the exchange became frank.

"The time of waking up was a little earlier at first, but then... it remained the same, and it is still close to noon." When he said this, he was confused and frightened, and he saw the improvement of the neighbors around him. Anxiety that only oneself is different and cannot be said.

Good guy, it matches what the neighbor said. He didn't tell the truth before.Just recall briefly that those early and late rises that swung back and forth were all made up.But he already knew the problem, why didn't he say it?
The silence behind the mask was understood by Coop as a sign of sullenness, and he hurriedly continued to confess: "It may be because I went to draw water from that well a few times for convenience. It's definitely not that I don't believe you, but I just think it's okay... ..."

"Huh?!" As soon as these words came out, Kraft couldn't hold back completely, "How is it possible, isn't that place sealed off long ago?"

It turned out that this guy went to the old well to fetch water in private because he was lazy and wanted to be close and convenient.Afterwards, the situation was repeated, and he was afraid that Kraft would see something to blame him, so he dared not tell the truth.

"In the first few days, they insisted on dragging me to block it together. I kept it secretly... and then it was completely blocked." Seeing Kraft get angry, Kupp also explained the rest.

Knowing this, Kraft first asked a few people who lived nearby to get the wooden boards and nails, and checked.Later, the residents who saw the improvement spontaneously piled up the poisonous well with earth and rocks into a large earth bag.Unexpectedly, this guy took advantage of such a short time to fetch water for a few more days.

【Restraint, restraint, don't get angry...】

Kraft tried his best to comfort himself, suppressed the rising anger, and asked in a calm tone: "Is there anyone else besides you?"

"No, I'm the only one who knows, and I didn't tell anyone. I only used it three times when there were few people." Kupp felt that Kraft didn't mean to do it for a while, so he gave another matter that he had been holding back for a long time. Confessed.

"I seem to be able to dream recently, but they are very short. The only time I remember vaguely is at home..."

　Due to the revision of the paper and the translation of the English version from tomorrow, I am afraid that the update will be affected, and I apologize in advance. (=°Д°=)
