The Uncanny: The Knowledgeable Returns From Warhammer

Chapter 27 The Mischievous Muppet

If she had never been here, Jenny might have gotten a share of the meager compensation that a school with a welfare nature can give, so that the family can go through the most difficult time, or change due to the parents' illness. worse.

At the door, Ivan, who hesitated for a long time because he didn't know how to comfort the other party, was finally dragged into the simple room by Jenny.

The faces of the family members were full of long-awaited smiles, and they didn't ask him where he went and what he did, but kept saying:

"Just come back, just come back!"

Perhaps the atmosphere was too dull. Mother Mary, with a sallow face, didn't have time to put down the spatula, and walked quickly to Ivan's side, pinching his cheeks for a while, and patting his shoulder for a while, her eyes full of concern.

Jenny stopped crying and ran to the firewood stove to pack up the burnt dinner.

Even though the burnt stew was hard to swallow, and even though Aiwen had already had dinner at the resident, under the persuasion of his family members who were full of care, he still sat at the table set up with simple wooden boards and reluctantly ate a few mouthfuls of Jenny’s food at the market. After picking up, wash the vegetable leaves repeatedly.

During the meal, Jenny, who was very lively about Ivan's return, talked about the current situation of the family. Because of her parents' purchase of medicine and her arrears of tuition fees, the family has accumulated nearly 10 pounds of debt.

Jenny is also facing the risk of dropping out of school due to arrears of tuition fees. Before that, she was planning to apply for the technical school in Tingen City after graduation. Does not seem to have any talent.

This made Ai Wen understand that not only will he face his own debts, but he will also have to bear high medical expenses and other living expenses.

After dinner, he lay on the narrow elevated bed and closed his eyes. His thoughts began to diverge slowly. Aiwen recalled in his mind the difficult time when he first arrived in Terra, and the time when he walked out of the Mechanical Heart team. At the moment of residency, I am ambitious to change the world.

But now, they have to worry about daily necessities.

"It seems that we need to speed up the process of the bicycle. Tomorrow, we have to ask Appleton to figure out the one-way ratchet, and then persuade him to transfer the patent to the church, so that we can put it into production as soon as possible."

Before you know it, it's late at night, and the small room is filled with the sound of slight snoring one after another, and the summer night brings refreshing coolness.

Just as Aiwen, who was sleeping in his clothes, slowly fell into a deep slumber, he vaguely noticed a slight tugging and an indiscernible muttering sound from his waist.

On the raised bed covered with only a straw mat, the 2-077 Desire puppet lying flat on the bed like Ivan, suddenly sat up, and secretly glanced at the sleeping "giant" next to him, very Using his limp arms in a humane way, he tugged on the iron ring around his neck twice, but found that it hadn't moved at all.

After being dazed for a moment, he suddenly let out a sound full of anger, and cursed in a slightly frantic whisper:
"Damn Artisan Church, damn Stie..."

Its body trembled suddenly before it finished speaking, and it covered its mouth violently. The button-stitched eyeballs twitched wildly, aiming at the simple wooden board used as a dining table to make up the lower bunk, squeezed together with grandma, at this moment Jenny who was sleeping very sweetly.

Then he carefully raised his short arms, and waved them gently towards the sleeping Jenny.

The next moment, the thin little girl closed her eyes tightly like a sleepwalker, slid off the bed straight, walked to the bed where Ivan was, and stretched her hand to the puppet around her waist.

"Ah, damn it! Don't pull it... my head is about to break..."

"Untie it, untie it!"

The rough pulling made 2-077 almost howl, frantically flapping those thin fingers of Jenny, whose movements were stiff and only focused on pulling.

But frightened by Aiwen's existence, he didn't dare to speak loudly, so anxious that his two tiny arms twitched wildly like the connecting rods of a steam engine.

At this moment, a hand that was also skinny but slightly rough suddenly grabbed 2-077's head, then tore it off from his waist even more roughly, and squeezed it firmly in his hand.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

On the elevated bed, Ivan squinted his eyes, looked at the puppet whimpering for a while, and pulled his finger with his short legs, and then turned his gaze to Jenny who was standing in front of the bed, looking a little sleepy.

Seeing that the other party was fine, he slowly woke up. After a little thought, Aiwen tried not to let the dilapidated loft bed make a "squeak" sound, and got up gently and jumped to the ground.

"Hmm... Brother, where am I?"

Jenny, who didn't seem to understand the situation yet, rubbed her eyes and asked confusedly while trying her best to activate her half-asleep brain.

After a long silence, when Jenny woke up completely, Ivan took out an envelope containing [-] pounds of change from his arms, and stuffed it into the other party's hand.

And whispered to her to pay off the debts, buy some bread and cheap chicken for the family after buying the medicine, and figure out how to deal with the tuition fees by herself.

In fact, he originally planned to secretly hand over the money to Jenny tomorrow morning.

After all, simply counting 1 penny as 4~5 yuan, 1 soli as 4~50 yuan, and 1 gold pound as about 2000 yuan, the huge sum of 20 gold pounds made him worry that not only would it not bring money to his family Surprises, on the contrary, would scare this humble middle-aged couple, but they didn't expect that 2-077 in the middle of the night would not stop.

"I almost forgot that it is not only a second-level sealed item, but also has the characteristics of being alive... At present, I still lack the necessary common sense for extraordinary things!"

Sighing secretly, he turned to the excuse that he and his colleagues had recently made a new product and needed to work overtime, so he hurried out of the house.

Hearing the messy sound behind him, Ivan stopped suddenly, turned his head and smiled towards Jenny who chased out of the room with tears on his face, who seemed hesitant to speak.

But he said very calmly in his heart:

"I found a job at the Antiquities Protection Association of Tingen City. This is my advance salary. If you encounter urgent matters, you can find me there!"

……

In the middle of the night, Tingen City Iron Cross went down the street. The sound of sudden footsteps echoed in the empty street corner. Suddenly, the breeze rolled up and drifted over the ditch full of excrement, bringing a foul and unpleasant smell from time to time.

Saying goodbye to the family members who were wiping tears after being woken up by Jenny, and slowly heading to the outskirts of the mechanical heart station, Ivan carefully admired the familiar and unfamiliar scenes along the way, until a figure came from an old apartment. The third floor leaped out and landed on the ground lightly like a feather.

"Thief?"

Seeing the other party turn around and look at him, showing round cheeks, Ivan suddenly remembered the feeling when he looked directly at the starry sky before, even though the confusion and madness were very weak,

"He seems to have the smell of an evil god!"

"you……"

Tris, who was about to go to the pier area to meet up secretly, and didn't want to cause extra trouble, frowned a little delicately, opened his mouth but was interrupted by Ivan's voice.

"I saw it all!"

In the darkness, there was a weird smile on Ivan's face, his heartbeat began to speed up, and there seemed to be inexplicable whispers in his ears.

Hearing this, Tris was stunned, his gaze swept across the stinky ditch by the side of the road, and he slowly pulled out the dagger from his waist.

But his movements made the smile on Ivan's face even bigger, and also made the body of the puppet that was hung on his waist twitch again, and his two small arms swung like rattles, cursing in a low voice:
"Go, go, you bloody idiot!"

"Damn it, I let you go, what are you doing with your knife?"

"Stupid... beep... you don't even know what you're facing... woo woo woo!"

2-077, who was bouncing around his waist, was suddenly torn off by Ivan and thrown on the side of the road. Then he opened his arms and strode towards Tris who was in doubt.

But at this moment, the puppet that was thrown on the side of the road turned over and suddenly let out a heart-piercing howl.

"Run, fool! I can't suppress his emotions..."

"He?!"

Tris, who was hesitating whether to do it or not, had a sudden heart attack. The keen senses brought by the assassin made him notice the weird puppet on the street, and Aiwen's eyes that suddenly shone with scarlet light in the dark night.

Then without hesitation, he turned around and stepped forward with his slender legs. With a pale face, he ran towards the street behind him. His sudden burst of speed caused a strange howl in the narrow street, and disappeared in the street in the blink of an eye. mouth.

"Uh, why didn't you chase after me?
Seeing that the other party had successfully escaped, and Ai Wen had no intention of catching up, 2-077 stood on the side of the street and stomped his feet fiercely.

"The waste of the witch family is running too fast!"
