The Record Of Barton’s Fantastical Events

Less than four o'clock in the afternoon, this is the first time Alice and Maya have returned from school. ? Bayi Chinese Network W㈠W㈧W ?. (8) 1 (1) Z? W ?. ? C㈠OM Of course, they were banned from running and could not be dragged by Lola.

Little Pink drove into Grand's backyard, and as soon as she stopped, Lola rushed out. Uh, I can't take Alice to run around, this guy came with me. The only thing that is gratifying is that she didn't pull a bunch of people.

Grande ’s backyard is not just a little pink car, there is a car parked, James ’s car, and there is also Cursen who is trying to tease the Great Dane next to it. Intuitively, the situation was that none of the Grand members who often swayed in the back porch showed up. Lola glanced at Grande first and went to the Benjamin warehouse.

Alice and Maya did not exercise any host's hospitality, Lola was too familiar with it, just go with her. The two entered Grande, and they could already hear the shouting of James in the office, unable to control, went to the entertainment room, and ink was watching soap operas.

Perhaps after this description, everyone would think that listening to James in the office is Louise, but no, Louise is not in Grande-

"I'm back ~" Mo greeted, "Louise let you go to the east basement (morgue) to see ~"

"Lewis is out? What's wrong with the basement?" Alice, who had just sat down, stood up again.

"Early in the morning, after you left, Danny showed a bunch of deer corpses in the south, and a sentence" I am sorry "written in blood. Louise got it back, wondering who left the message." Although Mo explained comprehensively, there was no slight deviation in his eyes on TV. "You just go and see."

"Oh." Alice agreed, returning with Maya.

When passing the office, such a voice came out-

"Lance! Shut up!"

Sounds unfamiliar to Alice and Maya, leave it alone, go downstairs, the back porch, to the basement on the east side.

At the corner, Lola stopped, "Alice! What about Matthew?"

"I don't know." Alice replied with a wink. "Aren't you on Benjamin's side?"

"Uh, Benjamin is not here!" Lola pouted and rushed towards the Grand main building.

"Lewis is not here," Alice reminded. "The detective is in the office." This is to remind Lola not to run around, but also looked at the backyard's continued boring teasing the Great Dane's Coulson.

Coulson waved his hands impatiently, meaning to ignore him.

Lola rushed to the back porch, with a white eye, and looked at Detective Coulson. It didn't matter what you greeted, no one would care about politeness at this time. Lola caught up with Alice and Maya, "What are you doing?"

Turning around the corner, Alice only answered when Maya ’s basement door whispered, "Louise has something, let's go and see ... Um, Lola, don't follow you ..." What needs to be reported by the mourning banshee is either already dead or about to die. Now Lola has fully understood this fact.

As a result, Lola's face was ugly for a moment, and her pace to move forward stopped. Hesitated, "Yes, are you human?"

"Deer." Maya replied after glancing into the basement.

"Oh." Lola rolled her eyes. "I've eaten venison." Actually Maya and Alice stepped down into the basement. This girl is very logical.

Alice froze for a moment, blinked and followed.

"Uh ..." Lola still covered her nose, "This smell ..."

"There are masks in the cupboard next to it." Alice reminded that her eyes had been with Maya, looking at the deer corpse placed on the stone platform.

Louise had already processed it, and the other plastic deer corpses should be stacked in the black plastic bag beside the stone platform. There was only one deer corpse wrapped in transparent plastic wrap on the stone platform. The smell that Lola smelled is actually the smell of chemicals, a long-term smell in this environment.

Speaking of which, Lola was here for the first time. After wearing a mask, she began to look around with a little curiosity. The most conspicuous nature is the neatly arranged cabinets. I do n’t know if it ’s so courageous or not, Lola knocked on the cold morgue and knocked ...

The place where it was knocked all the way was the empty sound of "Dang Dang", until the dull "Dang Dang" appeared, Lola shrank her shoulders, looked at the closed cabinet door with a tangled expression, one The deputy wanted to look at it, but dare not look at it.

"Well, weird." Maya, looking at the deer corpse, tilted her head and seemed to hesitate, "Are we going to confirm other deer?"

Alice's expression was similar. "En." Nodding, the two girls opened the deer corpse in a plastic bag separately.

Lola seemed a bit curious. She looked closer and looked at the deer corpse in the body bag. Although there were masks, it might be a visual synesthesia. Lola stepped back after pressing the mask, tilting her head and pointing Refers to the mortuary cabinet where she had stored the body just now, "Who is there? I thought you were closed."

Instead of looking at Lola with eyes flashing in various pictures, Alice continued to examine the deer corpse, "It is Sgal's body, he is now a demon."

"Who is Sgal?" Also, how could Lola know this criminal in the southeast.

"Uh ..." Alice felt that the explanation was unclear for a while, and then used the cognitive habits of the Pattons, "people in the southeast."

"Oh." The Patton ignored the habit in the southeast, and Lola was too lazy to ask. Keeping a distance to watch his two friends repeatedly open and pull the bag containing the deer corpse.

The silence lasted for a while, and Lola asked again, "I'm always curious, uh, Alice, when you eat meat, will your mood be affected?" Said, this girl's logic is amazing, girl The brain circuit ...

Alice froze again, as if she didn't understand the meaning of the question. It was Maya, who was already smiling there.

"I mean ... uh." It doesn't seem to be well described. "You eat while you see how your food died. Uh, won't your appetite be affected?"

Alice realized that, a little ignorant, she looked at Maya, "I can't see the death of food, should I be able to see the death of food?"

"Oh, no, you can't see the death when food or ingredients." Maya also specified Lola's question and smiled at the person who asked the question, "You let your friends tie their heads ~"

"Uh ... sorry." There should be no sincerity, because Lola still has a look of knowledge, "Why?"

"Yes, why?" Alice also turned to look for knowledge and looked at Maya.

"Well, what to say." Maya had a thoughtful look on his face, "Well-so, the ability to mourn the banshee was created because Papa wanted to bypass death at midnight."

"Midnight Papa? Boqi's master?" Look, Lola's logic is amazing.

"Oh, our god." Maya corrected it a bit, "God of witchcraft." Waving his hand, there was no other good word for Papa at midnight, "In witchcraft, there is a concept of grace, nature. This is the world. And this world is full of death, but it is not death as we generally say, just transformation, energy transfer, material transformation. Just like stone mine death, it has become metal; biological death has become oil ; The death of wood becomes a table and chair. Just like the death of food, it becomes the energy and nutrition we need in life. "

Well, for high school students, this definition, which covers the death of all matter in the whole world, can still be understood. Who has n’t studied physics or chemistry, and often Lola and Alice, who cut off the experimental class, nodded reluctantly.

"But all of these, the deaths that were born in our world at all times, have a common point. No matter how it died, it is still in this world. It just changed the way of existence, and then still wield the effect." Maya blinked, it should be To express something, "but we can't open our eyes and see all these living deaths, we have all learned biology, and now, our body is metabolizing, and there are thousands of them in our body. Wan ’s death. If we all saw the mourning banshee and went to warn Papa at midnight, 'Hey, your scalp has died a thousand times', he will be annoying. "

"Papa learned biology at midnight ... er ..." Finally, Lola became a little conscious, "Sorry, you continue."

"So, Papa gave a simple definition at midnight, about the definition of life and death." Maya continued obediently, "This determines the mourning banshee he created, ignoring the death of life at these moments, only watching To a type of death, life in our general sense, death. "

"Isn't food the life before?" Alice asked, such as the chicken chop in the Leipter's canteen.

"No, food is not life, not life defined by Papa at midnight." Maya shook her head. "Life in Papa's definition of midnight is a collection of natural substances, just like people." Maya frowned, " We all know that the composition of the human body is very simple, charcoal, calcium ... "and a bunch of elements, do not repeat," But people, not just a collection of these substances, right, we can talk, we can act, we can With our own capabilities, we can add, slow down, change, and naturally change the world ’s transformation process. We are not charcoal lying on the ground, not flesh waiting for decay and natural decomposition. We, humans, are a collection of higher than matter. Is the life that meets Papa ’s definition. "

"Uh, food also has action, cows, chickens ..." Lola pointed to the deer carcass, "deer. You say that they are also life, just, uh." Human self-esteem seems a little redundant, "just they It ’s not as powerful as humans. "

"No." Maya shook her head. "They are only part of life, wild, not captive animals, life. Others are just material collections, food ingredients, and they can only be swayed in this natural world. The most basic material A collection of transforming substances. They are not life. "And supplements," not to mention the food that has been cooked, that is just a combination of seasoned substances. "

Maya glanced at Alice, "Have you never been curious before, you like cooking so much, don't you feel that most of the ingredients you handle, even if they are fresh, have no picture of death."

"I ..." Alice was actually recalling, and she nodded. "I didn't even care about it. The things that occasionally appear on the screen of death are also the ones I'm killing ..." Huh ~

Maya smiled, "Then it's easy to understand, but it's just used to sway in this nature, the most primitive collection of matter, no matter what it is, it is a pile of stones, or a creature that can run and jump. They are not life defined by Papa at midnight, they are just objects in this nature. The rest is life, and the things that affect this natural change are life. "

What a vague definition, but—

"It's really unfair!" Lola actually got a little angry, "If something comes up and takes humans as food in captivity? Isn't humans a life? Those human deaths can't be taken by you See? Their death, no one can warn them? "Oh, no surprise, Lola has always thought that her friend, the ability to report the banshee, is a beautiful thing.

"Not to mention that as the species that has changed the most in the world, humans cannot be reduced to this point. But if this kind of thing really happens." Maya shrugged. "Then, humans are only elements that provide material conversion. But, whether they die or not, it has no effect on the world, just this natural object. "Looking at Lola," You will not ask these questions here, just like you think you have eaten deer, you can The peace of mind comes in the same way. You do n’t care about things that only have a substance conversion effect, even if it was once life, life and death. "

Lola froze for a moment, her mouth twitching slightly, as if she couldn't refute it.

Maya shook her head, "And, just explained so much, Lola, you should understand that these deer are not bred and only provide material conversion food, because Alice and I can see the picture of their death, they It was the real life that once had an impact on this world, now it is dead. "

Lola shivered.

"Maya!" Alice shouted.

"Okay, okay." Maya waved her hand with a smile. "I won't say it." A raised eyebrow. "Are we going to summarize what we saw?"

"Summary." Alice pursed her lips and looked at Lola, "Lola, are you okay."

"No, it's okay ..." Lola's mood was a little complicated, "You, you guys are busy."

"That ~" Mayara put on the last plastic bag. "I guess the guy with the exaggerated makeup is Eli Toledo."

"Yes, Louise is right. This is indeed a message. But, I don't understand. In the picture, he looks sad ..."

"'I'm sorry.'" Maya said in silence. "He was silent as he wrote these. The smokey dark circles were all spent and he was crying."

"We should tell Louise about this." Alice went to La Lola. "Let's go up and wait for Louise to come back."

"Oh ..." Lola, the complex mood probably disappeared for a while.
