old dream

Chapter 316
Ke Lin didn't know how many people in the Garden Palace were trying their best to find his whereabouts.

On the contrary, he slept very soundly last night, so when he woke up in the morning, he felt lighter for a moment.

After experiencing the tension day and night in Stade, I feel that I have not experienced such a state of ease for a long time.

As a large number of actions were sealed up, the informants became dormant, and the core members of the investigation department were strangely idle.

After all, all resources must be on call at any time and cannot be tied down by any chores.

The puppet woke up at some point—although Colin also suspected that she didn't need to sleep at all, and now she was sitting at the desk, flipping through some books that Colin had borrowed.

Boyd Elvis is still unable to speak, or even produce sounds, but she has learned some simple Ankh words through illustrations and accompanying text, and can do some basic reading.

The most direct evidence is that the puppet would walk up to Colin holding a large patent leather book at first, pull the corner of the other party's clothes, spread the pages of the book, and finger some words that she could not recognize.Then Colin would scramble to explain the word to her.

It is more convenient to explain the nouns, and the more difficult ones are the verbs.But more troublesome are those parts that deal with unique human emotions and relationships.

Such as sorry, thank you, shame, jealousy and so on.

Bold Elvis can already distinguish human facial expressions, but not understand the meaning behind the expressions.Colin thought about it for a long time, but he didn't know how not to explain these emotions through words.Just when he was about to go crazy, he found that the puppet in front of him was just looking at him quietly.

She blinked her clear eyes, and there was only peace in her bright red pupils.

The puppet is not proud of its ignorance, but has no shame about it either.

Looking at Bod Ives like this, Colin suddenly thought that if she wanted to learn Ankh, it would be more difficult than anyone else in the world.

Because she can't use her inner feelings as a comparison like other people.

So language is far more than just communication for puppets.More importantly, understanding the difference between herself and humans.And, to find a way into the complex spiritual world of another species.

Colin recalled feelings from Boyd Elvis that had been in his mind before.I found that the most vivid memory was the heartbeat that came from her when I had palpitations in the middle of the night last night.

Colin tried to use human language to pin down that feeling, but found that no matter what vocabulary he chose, he couldn't fully cover the puppet's emotions.He hesitated to speak several times, but finally he could only compromise and say:

"Like that, it's probably 'cherishing'..."

After speaking, Colin felt a slight heat on his face.He only wanted to find an accurate word, but he felt that he shouldn't just say it.

The puppet tilted its head slightly after hearing the word, and seemed to be silently repeating it several times in its heart.In the end, she seemed very satisfied with the pronunciation, so instinctively, she approached Colin's arm without hesitation, and narrowed her eyes comfortably.

This is probably "joy", Colin quietly realized.

There is also my side, which probably belongs to "shyness".

But this time, he didn't choose to speak out.

During this period of time, Ke Lin also looked up information about the "Dark Mother".

As a member of the investigation department, he has a higher intelligence level. Through the red letter instrument hidden in the office compartment, he has the authority to view some materials placed in Building No. [-]. Of course, all of this still needs to be Under the guarantee of the "commander", because the information sent from Baidu must be destroyed according to the procedure.

So the large pile of paper on his desk was written by Hong Xinyi only yesterday.In order to cover up the real purpose of my inquiry, these materials were obtained under the name of obtaining relevant materials of the "Woodland Quadrant".

The vast forest area in the northwest of Central China belonged to several pre-ancient kingdoms, and the cultural circles covering them were collectively called the "Woodland Quadrant".Although it did not experience classical prosperity and was regarded as a barbarian by the ancient Nalek Empire, it is much richer than other parts of the mainland because of its boundless forests.

Of course, these are all ancient things.

Coincidentally, a few days ago, Danaro had a murder case related to several woodland people. According to Frank, this incident revealed a faintly strange atmosphere, which is worth paying attention to.So Ke Lin used this name to ask the archives of the Central Intelligence Agency for a large amount of information on the "Woodland Quadrant".

Although the paper piled up on his desk, Colin's real goal was only a few pages.

The land of flowers, the dark mother Bod-el-Wess, is the belief that originated in the woodland.

These few paragraphs of text sealed in the depths of the archives are the only remaining information of this "hidden crown" in this world.

The priests of the holy oak worship the mistletoe that hangs from its branches, and the dioecious twigs hang red and white berries.After cutting two kinds of slime with a golden sickle and mixing them into a medicinal drink, they walked into the depths of the cool and mysterious holy forest amidst bursts of hallucinations.

The cascading towering canopy completely blocks the sun, and the sober people cannot come here, and the most experienced forest scholars only stay at the edge, because there is a bible that can only be read for the rest of their lives.A small open space in the sea of ​​trees that no one has ever visited is like midnight without light, covered with a deep silence.Several priests felt numb all over, because some alien species that did not exist outside were crawling over their sides, heads and insteps.Some people have moist lichen growing on their lungs, but they don't feel pain.It is said that the dew here is highly poisonous juice, or even the tree shadows on the ground can kill the mountain bear, but it is unknown how many lives are bred and inhabited in every shadow that can be seen.

The reflections of the tree's shade writhe among the phosphorescence of the lake, as if the cloaking shadow were a living thing in itself.

When the first priest came up with this thought, branch-like antlers creaked and grew from the irregular shadow on the ground. They were intertwined in different sizes, and quickly faded to pale like dead coral calcification.As a result, the shadow becomes more concrete. He wears a white crown and walks into the lake dragging the black curtain that blocks out the sun.

All life in the world was born from a dank shadow, and will eventually return there.

The priests of the Holy Oak probed into clearings whose location was unknown, and finally touched the first paradoxical and glorious crown, the Dark Mother, Pale Earth.

However, as early as the Middle Ages, which was even longer than the beginning of the new calendar.

It has already been affected by the fall of "Su", stigmatized and dying together.
