Shirai brother of a certain science

Chapter 4 Hyla Frog
In 1947, Britain, which had just experienced World War II, was slowly recovering its economy.

Shirai didn't know where he was in the UK now, but looking at the deserted land, he couldn't help but lament the cruelty of war.

If it was in a peaceful age, this place would probably be a fertile field.

He has been walking with Edward for a long time, maybe there is some way to hang his life, although he seems to die at any time, but his footsteps are still very steady.

"You rest first."

After placing Edward under a dead tree, Shirai quickly climbed up the dry tree trunk and looked into the distance.

He wanted to see how far he was from where people lived.

Man didn't see it, he saw something else.

A silly and cute wild rabbit.

The fields are barren and overgrown with weeds.

For these wild rabbits, it is heaven.

Licking his lips, Shirai's eyes glowed blue like hungry wolves.

When he was in the underground research institute, he could only survive by drinking his own bath water, that is, the unknown nutrient solution in the jar, even though that stuff was more nutritious than meat.

But in Shirai's mind, meat is more delicious!
Rabbits are very alert, and if someone gets close, they will definitely startle them, but for Bai Jing, he doesn't need to get close at all to catch them.

Perhaps aware of Shirai's malice, the hare tensed its body, stayed where it was, and was ready to run away at any time.

It is precisely because of its stillness that Shirai has the opportunity to use his space ability.

Shirai stretched out his hand and shook it.

He pinched a pair of rabbit ears in his hand, and the hare looked at Shirai with a dazed expression. It took him a while to remember to struggle, but it was too late to struggle now. At this distance, Shirai's use of abilities was just like eating and drinking. as simple as that.

"This isn't magic, is it?"

Edward glanced at the hare in Shirai's hands. As the greatest magician of the twentieth century, he could tell at a glance that what Shirai used was not conventional magic at all.

"It's called science!"

He glanced at Edward with some complacency. It was unprecedented to be able to show off science in front of the future boss of the science side.

Skillfully peeled and dissected the rabbit, then strung it up with branches and put them on the side. Shirai picked up the dead branches and rubbed vigorously on a dry tree trunk.

"you are"

"Make fire."

Bai Jingtou said without raising his head.

"."

Edward glanced at Shirai as if looking at a fool, then picked up the rabbit skin that Shirai threw aside, dipped it in the warm rabbit blood on the ground, and drew a fairly complicated symbol on the fur.

"this is for you."

After painting, Edward threw the fur to Shirai.

"what is this?"

Shirai looked at the symbol on it, and vaguely felt that it should be some kind of magic symbol, but since he knew nothing about magic, he had no idea what it was useful for.

"Plop it on the ground, rune side up."

"Oh."

Shirai obediently spread the rabbit skin on the ground.

I didn't see Edward doing anything, a flame suddenly sprang up from the rabbit's fur.

"This is."

"This is magic. I don't have much magic power. Hurry up and add more firewood, otherwise I won't last long."

"Tsk tsk, is this a magic induction cooker?"

Shirai didn't care about Edward's provocative "this is magic", but hurriedly threw the dead branch that he had broken off just now on the rabbit skin, and used his space ability to divide the rabbit meat into two parts, and began It was roasted on the fire.

The meat was roasted quickly, and the taste was not very good, but Bai Jing ate it deliciously. For him who drank the nutrient solution for more than a week, even a piece of stinky meat could still be eaten very well. delicious.

Edward wasn't picky either. Judging from his attire, he shouldn't be the kind of person who would treat him badly, but in the current situation, he didn't have to be picky either.

After eating the roasted rabbit, Edward waved his hand, and the traces on the ground were covered with dust. If it wasn't for Shirai who also threw bones there, he probably wouldn't even know there was something there.

He was deeply suspicious of Edward's previous statement that there was not much magic.

"Now, can you lead me in the right direction?"

After eating and drinking enough, Shirai helped Edward up again, and said in a calm tone.

No matter how stupid he was, he could see that Edward was leading him around in circles before.

He caught the rabbit in front of Edward just now, and used his ability to cut the rabbit, all of which were sending a signal to Edward.

If I want to do something to you, I can kill you without anyone noticing, so put away your little Jiujiu and hurry up, don't go around in circles.

"Over there."

Edward gave Shirai a meaningful look, and pointed in a direction again.

This time the direction is right.

About half an hour later, they came to a small town.

Probably affected by the Second World War, the town looked a little depressed, especially after seeing two strange faces, pedestrians just hurried past them without any intention of talking to them.

Think about it too.

An Asian boy wearing only a white coat, who looked like he had just escaped from a mental hospital, and a silver-haired "boy" covered in blood and seriously injured, they didn't notify the police because they were not dangerous up.

"Emmmm where are you going next?"

"The barbershop on the east side of town."

"barbershop?"

"Yes, the barber shop."

Shirai supported Edward without knowing why, and walked step by step to the barber shop Edward mentioned under the indifferent eyes of the town residents.

About the barber shop, Shirai still knows something, for example, a long time ago, the barber in the barber shop was also a part-time surgeon.

Pulling a tooth, sawing off a leg, chopping off a hand, these things they often do.

But in 1947, medicine in the UK should have developed fairly well, so why go to a barber?
You must know that if you go to a barber for medical treatment, the mortality rate can be as high as [-]%.

That's right, it was to see a doctor for one person, and three people died as a result.

He was not afraid of Edward being put to death, but he was afraid that when the barber put Edward to death, he would also be affected by the way, and another operation with a [-]% mortality rate would be performed.

The town is not big, and soon they came to the east of the town.

It is said to be a barber shop, but it is actually a wooden house with a barber sign hanging outside, but his business is very bleak, there is no one in it, only the owner himself, lying on the rocking chair at the door to bask in the sun.

"Hyla, help me."

Hyla?

Hearing this name, Shirai seemed to realize something, could this person be
The man in the rocking chair stood up.

He looks very young, only in his twenties, his mouth is very big, and the distance between the eyes is also very large, giving people a very strange feeling, reminding Shirai of the movie "Gourd Baby" that he watched when he was a child Toad essence.

"You are still alive, Edward."
