Chapter 466
Sunny days for two consecutive days.

Although the temperature is starting to rise, the grass covered with morning frost is still a dull yellow-white, and it looks like half-melted snow from a distance.The vegetation in the park is covered in such dismal colors that there is nothing worth seeing at all.

Even so, he and the object of his invitation sat on a bench on the shore of the park lake early.

Chen Wei held his mobile phone and thoughtfully tapped his right knee.Although I had already gone to the hospital for disinfection and dressing, the wound still hurt intermittently in the past two days.

"...So, this matter is over. I didn't see the true face of the ghost until the end."

The person sitting behind him said coldly: "Are you looking forward to seeing it?"

"That's not true. However, I have waited hard for three nights, but I didn't get the answer in the end. I can't help but feel a little disappointed. It's fine if there is really no discovery, and I had to stop because of my leg injury. , It is far from the expectation. By the way, classmate Zhou, after sending me to the guard room, what are you doing back to the teaching building with that umbrella?"

"Just go and have a look."

"Then there's no need to lock the guard room from the outside, right? It's a complete overreaction. To be honest, I thought I would be trapped until I starved to death. Classmate Zhou, your attitude at that time put me in such a danger If you don’t show up by daybreak, I’m going to call the police. At that time, we might all have a criminal record. Is this kind of death together what you want to do to me?”

"Nothing like that. But it's too cumbersome to take a disabled person with you. If you don't lock it up, it may come after you. I don't want to deal with unexpected situations."

"Is this complaining that I'm in the way?"

"That's exactly what it means."

Without any elements of politeness, she just answered mercilessly.Because he was used to her attitude, he just smiled and said, "If you chase after her, nothing will happen, right? Or, will it break into your magic barrier or something?"

"There is no such inexplicable thing, I just don't want to see you accidentally fall to your death while going up the stairs. It fits your way of death, right? Student Chen, your name is only suitable for this kind of person who died in the first 10 minutes of the movie Role."

"It's name shaming again, Classmate Zhou. Most of the time, the name has nothing to do with me, and it only reflects the thoughts of my parents."

"It seems that your parents don't pay much attention to names."

"I haven't asked about this. However, in terms of the word itself, it doesn't have a bad meaning, right? 'I hope my child can become a great person', although there is no unique meaning, it is just an ordinary parent's wish. "

"...Ordinary parents?"

"It's very common. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people with the same name. It's a pity that there are very few positions that can be called 'great'. In a situation like this, the depreciation is natural."

"Do you think the concept of greatness is devalued?"

"Ah, I don't know about the concept itself. But at least as a vocabulary, I can, Classmate Zhou. No matter how serious the word is, as long as it is widely and cheaply used, the seriousness will be dispelled. For example In other words, if you call anyone you like a "god", it will not increase the value of this person, but will make you and the word "god" cheap. The more the words are used to pretend The more you use it, the less it will be taken seriously in the end. This is generally the rule. However, there are exceptions.”

"exception?"

"That is to say, if the fact itself is strong enough. Zhou, have you heard of the 'Hundred Animals Sacrifice'?"

"Is it a sacrificial ceremony in ancient Greece? It's used to celebrate important events."

"That's right, it's the sacrificial event where one hundred animals were killed. It is said that the Pythagozilla School once held such a ceremony to celebrate the discovery of the Pythagorean Theorem. I don't remember the English of this word." If it is wrong, it should be Hecatomb, although the original meaning still refers to the sacrifice of animals, but now it has a completely different meaning when it is used.”

"Derived means..."

"—meaning mass murder."

He flipped through the messages sent by Zhang Mumu on his mobile phone, and continued: "There is such a story in "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea", which tells the story of Captain Nemo, who used to be an Indian prince. He sank a British warship and caused the deaths of all people on board. Although he personally issued such an order, he cried and confessed bitterly in the middle of the night. At that time, Professor Aronnas was also shocked by his cruel behavior. Only then did he make up his mind to escape from the Nautilus. The name of that chapter is Hecatomb—the original meaning is a grand sacrificial ceremony, but in the end it evolved into a terrifying and unsettling vocabulary. What is the reason? If you look carefully, There may be many complicated historical factors involved, but the most precondition, I think, is that the original meaning of the "Hundred Animal Sacrifice" no longer exists. Whether it is the form of sacrifice or the gods who are the recipients, Today, it is not believed by people at all, so the connotation of the words has naturally migrated. Speaking of this, Mr. Zhou, the word 'Nemo' means 'one who does not exist' in Latin I've always thought it sounded good, and I'm considering using it as my nickname on the Internet, and if it works well, I'll just change my name to 'Chen Nimo' in the future. What do you think?"

"Yeah, what a cute pronunciation, Nemo-san. With this name, even you can barely survive to the end of the trilogy."

She replied with a slightly mocking tone, and then fell into a long silence.

——What are you worried about?He thought to himself while playing with his phone.

The bright vermilion long bridge lies quietly on the blue-gray lake.Theoretically, it should be the oldest building in Xiangchen Bridge Park. At the moment, it seems that it is not even five years old.Seeing such a brand-new bridge, the corresponding legend of Yuyinnv also suddenly became unstable.What kind of fairy would wander over a bridge full of gigantic light bulbs like this?Even moths will scare away in horror.

Because it was a weekday morning, there were almost no people in the park. Only he and his friends who had been missing recently would meet in this kind of place, and then they sat silently on the benches leaning against each other.What is the point of such a meeting?It's almost like volunteer carers who come to visit terminally ill patients on a regular basis.

"Chen Wei." The person sitting behind said, "Have you had any strange dreams recently?"

"No. I've had my work and rest upside down for several days in a row, and when I fell asleep, I would sleep until it was dark. I'm not the type who has a lot of dreams. If I have to say it, the dwarf had a few dreams, thinking very actively. If you want to share it with me, it probably means that she dreamed that she turned into a monster and turned the city into her own territory. As a sacrifice to the monster, everyone must give her a regular gift pack of snacks. Ah, but You are an exception because you are her good friend and she will give you unlimited free coffee."

"Then you don't need it either?"

"Sorry. She stipulated that I have to donate twice as much as ordinary people. If you want to ask why, the standard amount for ordinary people she stipulated is the amount of snacks I usually buy for the club. If I still provide it as usual, it means I have not donated. Inhumans are like that You are greedy, Classmate Zhou. Use your transformation wand to teach her a lesson next time."

"It's not necessary. I think Zhang's arrangement is very reasonable. It's better to carry it out like this from now on."

Gossip like this until the sun rises over the top of the Ferris wheel.She got up from the bench and said, "I'll go get some drinks."

There was already a tacit understanding of taking turns to treat guests. Since he bought the drink last time, it was naturally the other party's turn this time.However, driven by some intuition, he stood up and said, "Student Zhou, let me pay this time."

She stopped.

"Ah, I'm a friend anyway. It's okay to invite you once in a while. It's rare that the weather is so good today. If I let you drop a coin, it might rain immediately. Because you look like the kind of rainstorm that comes with the background people."

Before the other party got mad, he quickly slipped away, fled to the vending machine next to the toilet, took out coins from his pocket and put them in.

Nothing happened.

what can happen?He thought casually, pressing the selection button for canned coffee.

The coffee can rolled out.As someone's water of life, this price is really cheap.But what do you want to drink?

He stood in front of the vending machine and thought.After thinking about it for too long, the companion has already walked over and naturally took the coffee can from his hand.Without even asking about the ownership, she just opened it and drank it.

"Student Chen, how long are you going to confront this suspicious vending machine? Is it time to prove its crime with your perfect reasoning?"

"Hmm... Classmate Zhou, that's it. I'm thinking about why you can exchange a can of coffee with three coins. Shouldn't you ask for a heavier price for such a miraculous thing that saves your life? Equivalent exchange Is it the principle of alchemy? No, you can’t think about it this way. After all, saving you is equivalent to saving me, saving me is saving the entire society, and the whole society can be said to represent the interests of the entire universe. A can of coffee is really a benefit to all beings. Can it really be exchanged for three dollars? I think if you continue to be so insatiable, the whole sky might collapse in a while."

"...If you really have nothing to do, go and clean the public toilets, classmate Chen. Then everyone will thank you sincerely."

He considered the difficulty of cleaning the toilets in the park, and finally said: "Okay, I'd better drink milk." Then he pressed the selection button for canned milk.

Milk rolls out of the spout.He leaned over to pick it up.The friend raised his head and said, "It seems that the sky hasn't fallen."

Then, just as he was about to reply, his heart actually stopped beating.

"...Chen Wei?"

His fingers rested on the surface of the tin can.People drinking coffee also noticed the abnormality.However, in the blink of an eye, he could no longer speak.

heart stop.There is no air in the lungs.Physical sensations are completely gone.All the diseases that had not recurred for more than ten years all made a comeback at that moment.

"Chen Wei!"

He fell without resistance.Falling into the dark moment, thinking about the story of Nemo the Avenger.
