Chapter 1843: Children (2/2)
But they didn't shrink back, instead, braved the cold wind and continued to move forward.
They didn't go far, when passing by an artificial lake, they found an old man by the lake by some accident.
The old man's body was wrapped in metal, and even his face was just a cold mask. It should be a ghost repairer who accidentally lost his body.
The reason why he is said to be an ”old man” is because his movements are very stiff, as if rust has grown all over his body, and he will fall apart at any time.
When they saw the old man, the old man was doing something commonplace by the lake, but now it was quite unusual—feeding the birds.
There are many birds on the artificial lake, and people often come to feed the birds.
But no one has ever attracted so many birds like this aging ghost, not only appears beside him, but even falls on him, as if he has a natural sense of intimacy with him, not at all. Fear of this cold mechanical body.
”It's amazing, how did he do it?”
”How can someone feed the birds here when the army is in turmoil? Who is he?”
”I seem to have seen this old grandfather. Yes, it is him. He often comes here to feed the birds. I like to go to the artificial lake in the morning to recite ancient runes. I have seen him several times. He seems to be next to the library. Know the archivist of the archives.
”But before, his movements were a lot more clumsy. One time he couldn't get up after falling down for a long time. I helped him up. Moreover, there won't be so many birds falling on him...”
The teenagers talked and became curious.
I was about to let the girl who knew this grandfather step forward to ask what happened, ”Hullah”, all the birds on the archivist's body flew up, with faint flashes of light, they scattered, and rushed to the sky. .
”Hahahaha!”
There was a thunderous laugh in the metal chest of the archivist, which shocked the four teenagers.
The old man smiled unscrupulously, unscrupulously, and heartily. The whole world was filled with his own laughter. Even the dark clouds covering the sky and the sun were torn through the cracks in the wild laughter, bursting with golden light. !
Smiling, laughing, the old man's voice and breath gradually weakened.
He was originally squatting on the ground to tease the birds, but at this moment he finally couldn't support his heavy body, and sat down on the ground with his huge head drooping inch by inch.
”Grandpa!”
The girl was anxious, and the first one rushed up, followed by the three boys, trying to help the old man, but the old archivist waved his hand to the children, beckoning them not to come.
”Danger.”
The archivist spoke very clearly.
Afterwards, a black flame spewed out of his metal skull.
The black flames flared their teeth and struggled desperately, as if some kind of unwilling and resentful power was being burned and completely annihilated!
With the annihilation of this force, the last life of the archivist also disappeared, like a golden match that burned out, turning into gray and white.
When the girl finally helped the old man up, there was only time to hear him in a vague voice, and finally said a weird thing, and there was no more sound from the light metal chest.
The boys screamed and waved desperately on the street. Three minutes later, the police and the Federal Army finally called. After a while, the ambulance arrived in time.
This was originally a very common incident of sudden death of an old man, and it was not surprising that it happened to the aging ghost repair.
However, when the doctors uncovered the old man's metal sky spirit cover and found that there were some traces of brain cells inside, things became weird.
When the police inquired about the serial number on the old man’s psychic prosthesis and found that it was an illegal prosthesis that had not been officially registered, the difficulty of the case increased by several levels.
”You said, before he died, he said a weird thing, what is that?”
The police frowned deeply and stared at the four frightened, bewildered boys and girls.
The teenagers looked at each other. It was a verbose and awkward sentence, and they didn't know the meaning for a while.
”Don't worry, let's think slowly, even if you don't understand the meaning, you can repeat the syllables. This is very important to confirm the identity of the deceased.”
Changed a female police officer and said very kindly but very firmly.
The teenagers scratched their heads, but still couldn't think of it, all of them blushed.
At this moment, a flash of roar sounded on the horizon, and the rising sun finally broke free from the shackles of darkness after a fierce battle, and leaped high.
In the direction of the city center, there were bursts of cheers and noise, like some great news, turning into a boiling storm, about to sweep the entire city, the entire planet, and the entire Federation.
The girl's eyes rounded, and she finally understood what the old man was muttering just now.
”I, I see, Grandpa's last words seem to be—”
She puffed up her cheeks, learned the way of an old archivist, looked at the distance and the vast sky above, feeling relieved, and said with great relief: ”Children, broken thieves...”
