Records of Barton’s Fantastical Events

It was less than four o’clock in the afternoon. This was the earliest time Alice and Maya came back from school. Of course, they were banned and couldn’t be dragged by Laura and the others.

Little Pink drove into the backyard of Grande. As soon as she stopped, Lola rushed out. Uh, I can’t take Alice around, this guy followed by herself, and the only relief is that she didn’t take a group of people.

Grands backyard is not only a little pink car, there is also a car parked, James car, and Coulson who is constantly trying to tease the Great Dane next to it. Intuitively, none of the members of Grande, who often dangled on the back porch, showed up. Laura glanced at Grande first, and went to Benjamin’s warehouse.

Alice and Maya didn’t use the host’s hospitality. Laura is too familiar with this place, so just let her go. The two entered Grande, and they could already hear James’ yelling in the office. They couldn’t control it. They went to the entertainment room and Mo was watching a soap opera.

Perhaps with this description, everyone would think that it was Louise who heard James yell in the office, but no, Louise is not in Grande

“I’m back~” Mo greeted, “Louise will let you go to the east basement (morgue) before going out~”

“Lois went out? What happened to the basement?” Alice, who had just sat down, stood up again.

“Early in the morning, after you left, Danny found a pile of deer corpses in the south, and the sentence “I’m sorry” written in blood. Louise got it back, suspected to be who The message left.” Although Mo explained comprehensively, his eyes on TV were not shifted at all. “You can just go and see.”

“Oh.” Alice agreed, and Maya returned the same way together.

When I passed the office, there was a voice like this–

“Lance! Shut up!”

Unfamiliar to Alice and Maya Leave it alone, go downstairs, back porch, to the basement on the east side.

When I turned the corner, I was stopped by Laura, “Alice! Where’s Matthew?”

“I don’t know.” Alice blinked and replied, “Not by Benjamin. Is it?”

“Uh, Benjamin is not here!” Laura curled her lips and prepared to rush towards the main building of Grande.

“Lois is not here either.” Alice reminded, “The detective is in the office.” This is to remind Laura not to rush, and she looked at the backyard and continued to tease the Great Dane boredly. Coulson.

Coulson waved his hand impatiently, meaning to ignore him.

Lola rushed to the back porch, rolled her eyes, and looked at Detective Coulson, saying hello and so on. It doesn’t matter if you call or not. No one at this time cares about politeness. Laura caught up with Alice and Maya, “What are you going to do?”

Turning around the corner, when Maya’s basement door, Alice replied, whispered, “Louis found something , Let’s go and see… Well, Laura, don’t follow along…” Must be reported to Banshee for things that are either dead or about to die. Laura now fully understands this fact.

For this reason, Lola’s face turned ugly for an instant, and her steps to go forward stopped, a little hesitant, “Yes, is it a human?”

“Deer.” Maya, who had already glanced into the basement, replied.

“Oh.” Laura rolled the eyes, “I have eaten venison.” Maya and Alice went down to the basement. This girl is very logical.

Alice froze for a while, blinked, and followed.

“Uh…” Laura still covered her nose, “This smell…”

“There is a mask in the cabinet next to it.” Alice reminded her, her eyes were gone. Together with Maya, looked towards the deer carcass that was placed on the stone platform.

Louise has already done the treatment. The black plastic bags piled up next to the stone platform should contain other deer carcasses. On the stone platform there is only one deer that is tightly wrapped in transparent plastic wrap. corpse. The smell that Laura smelled was actually the smell of chemicals, the long-term smell in this environment.

Speaking of which is the first time Laura has entered here. After wearing a mask, she started to look around curiously. The most conspicuous is naturally the neatly arranged corpses. I dont know if its courageous or what, Lauras icy cold morgue knocks on the east, knocks on the west…

Where I have been knocked all the way, what comes out is an empty clang. ‘, until the dull’clang clang’ appeared, Laura shrank her shoulders and looked at the closed cabinet door with a tangled expression, looking at it as though she wanted to but didn’t dare to.

“Well, it’s weird.” Maya, who looked at the deer carcass, tilted her head and seemed to hesitate, “Are we going to confirm the other deer?”

Alice’s expression is similar. “En.” Nodded, the two girls opened the deer carcasses in the plastic bag separately.

Lola seemed to be a little curious, got closer, and glanced at the deer carcass in the body bag. Although there was a mask, it might be synesthesia brought by vision. Lola stepped back while pressing the mask. , Tilted his head, and pointed to the body cabinet where she had just found the corpse, “Who is there? I thought you were out of business.”

not at all with eyes that flashed in various pictures Going to see Laura, Alice continued to examine the deer carcass, “It’s Skor’s body, he is a demon now.”

“Who is Skor?” Also, how did Lara know The criminal of this southern part.

“Uh…” Alice felt that the explanation was not clear for a while, so according to the cognitive habits of the Barton people, “the people of the southern part.”

“Oh.” The Barton people Laura was too lazy to ask about the habitual ignorance of the southern part. Keeping a distance and watching his two friends repeatedly open and close the bag with the deer corpse.

The silence lasted for a while, and Laura asked again, “I have always been curious, um, Alice, will your mood be affected when you eat meat?” Said, this girl The logic of the girl is amazing, the girls brain circuit…

Alice froze again, as if she didn’t understand the meaning of the question. It’s Maya, who is already smiling over there.

“I mean…Uh.” It seems not easy to describe, “While you eat, you see how the food you eat died. Uh, won’t your appetite be affected?”

Alice then realized that she was a little confused and looked towards Maya, “I can’t see the death of food. Should I be able to see the death of food?”

“hehe, no, you can’t see the death when food is still ingredients.” Maya also specifically asked Laura’s question, smiling and looking towards the person who asked the question, “You made your friend’s head knot~”

“Uh…sorry.” There should be no sincerity, because Laura still has a curious expression, “Why?”

“Yes, why?” Alice also became a The face asked for knowledge and looked at Maya.

“Well, how do you say it.” Maya has a thinking expression on her face, “Well-let’s it, Banshee’s ability to report funerals was created because Papa wanted to bypass death at midnight. “

“Papa Midnight? Porch’s master?” Look, Lola’s logic is very good.

“Oh, our god.” Maya corrected it, “The god of witchcraft.” Waved her hand, because there was nothing good to say to Papa Midnight, “In witchcraft, there is One, um, the concept of nature is this World. And this World is full of death, but it is not death as we generally say, it is just transformation, the transfer of energy, the transformation of matter. Just like the death of a quarry, it becomes a metal ; Biological death has become oil; wood death has become tables and chairs. Just like the death of food, it has become the energy and nutrition we need in life.”

Well, for high school students, this covers the entire world The definition of the death of all substances in it is still understandable. Who has never studied physics and chemistry? Laura and Alice, who often skipped experimental classes, are barely nodded.

“But all of these, the death that occurs in our world at all times, has a common point. No matter how it dies, it is still in this World. It just changes the way of existence, and it still plays a role.” Maya blinked, she should be expressing something, “But when we impossible eyes opened, we can see all these deaths that happen. We have all studied biology. Now, our body is undergoing metabolism, and our body is Thousands of deaths are happening. If we reported the funeral to Banshee and saw it all, to warn Papa at midnight,’Hey, your scalp died a thousand times’, he would be annoying.”

“Papa learned biology at midnight…Uh…” Finally, Laura felt a little conscious, “Sorry, you continue.”

“So, Papa gave a simple Definition, about the definition of life and death.” Maya continued obediently, “This determines the Banshee he created for mourning, ignoring the deaths that occur at these moments, and only seeing one type of death, we say in the general sense Life, death.”

“Isn’t food used to be life?” Alice asked, such as the chicken chop in Laipute’s cafeteria.

“No, food is not life. It is not the life defined by Papa Midnight.” Maya shook her head. “Life in the definition of Papa Midnight is something beyond the collection of natural materials, just like people. “Maya frowned, “We all know that the human body is very simple, carbon, calcium…” and a bunch of elements, not to repeat, “But, humans are not just a collection of these substances, right, we can talk, we Being able to act, we can speed up, slow down, and change with our own abilities. Naturally, we can change the transformation process of this World. We are not charcoal lying on the ground, or meat waiting to be decomposed by nature. We, human beings, are higher A collection of matter. We are the life that meets the definition of Papa.”

“Uh, food can also move, cows, chickens…” Laura pointed to the deer carcass, “Deer. You. In this way, they are also life, but, uh.” Human self-esteem, it seems a bit redundant, “It’s just that they are not as powerful as humans.”

“No.” Maya shook her head, “They are only part of them.” It is life, wild, not animals in captivity, but life. The rest is just a collection of materials, food materials, a collection of materials that can only play the role of the most basic material transformation in this natural world. They are not life.” And added, “Not to mention the food that has been cooked, it is just a combination of substances with seasonings.”

Maya glanced at Alice, “Have you never been curious before? Didnt you notice that you like cooking so much? Most of the ingredients you deal with, even if they are fresh, have no death screen.”

“I…” Alice actually remembered, but it turned out to be nodded. , “I didnt even care about it. The occasional death scenes appeared and I was killing them…” Heh~

Maya laughed,” Then I understand it well, just to play in this nature , The most primordial collection of matter, no matter what it is, whether it is a pile of rocks, or a creature that can run and jump, they are not the life defined by Papa Midnight, they are just objects in nature. The rest. , Is the life, and has the things that affect this natural change, is the life.”

What a vague definition, but–

“This is really unfair!” Laura I actually got a little angry, “What if something appears and keeps humans as food? Are humans no longer life? Then those human deaths can’t be seen by you? Their deaths, no Can anyone warn them?” Oh, no surprise, Laura always thinks that her friend, the ability to report the loss of Banshee, is a beautiful thing.

“Lets not talk about human beings as the species that has changed this World the most. But if this kind of thing happens.” Maya shrugged, “then, human beings are just Its just the elements that provide material transformation. Whether they die or not has no effect on the world. Its just this natural object.” Looking at Laura, “You wont ask these questions here, just like you think you eat. After passing the deer, you can come in with peace of mind. You dont care about things that have only material transformation effects, even if they were life, life and death.”

Lola froze for a moment, her mouth twitching slightly, as if unable to refute.

Maya shook the head, “Furthermore, I just explained so much, Laura, you should understand that these deer are not farmed and only provide food for material conversion, because I and Alice can see To the scene of their deaths, they were real beings that once had an impact on this World, and now they are dead.”

Lola shivered.

“Maya!” Alice called out.

“Okay, okay.” Maya smiled and waved her hand, “I won’t say it.” Raised an eyebrow, “Shall we summarize what we saw?”

“Summary.” Alice pursed her lips and looked at Laura, “Lola, are you okay.”

“No, it’s okay…” Lola felt a little complicated, “You, you guys are busy “

“That~” Maya pulled on the last plastic bag, “I guess that guy with exaggerated makeup is Eli Torrido.”

“It should be, Louise is right, this is indeed a message. But, I don’t understand, he looks very sad in the picture…”

“‘I’m sorry’.” Maya He said silently, “While he wrote this, he was in silence. The smoky dark circles are all spent, and he is crying.”

“We should tell Louise about this.” Alice went Lalla, “Let’s go up and wait for Louise to come back.”

“Oh…” Laura, the complicated mood may not disappear for a while.
