Chapter 418 (1/2)
”Where are you now?” Aoki asked.
”Now? Oh, I'm not sure. Maybe by the sea or by the lake, because I can hear the tide,” said the crow.
Su Huilan said, ”then don't you come back quickly?”
Aoki said, ”he is afraid of the dark.”
Crow's shortcut: ”What, oh, no, no, no, I'm not afraid of the dark. Birds like me can't be afraid of the dark! It's just too dark. It's not convenient to fly. I'm not an owl. But I doubt this place can't even see an owl. I don't believe you, let's have a try. It's too dark. Quack, don't mention the moon in the sky. There's not even a star. I doubt this is not the earth!”
”Not the earth?!” Aoki's eyebrows jumped.
”How else?” cried the crow. ”Oh my God, quack, I'm not going through it. Is there zombies everywhere? Or is this a fighting world? I should find a stone to test it,” he said, waving his wings and shouting, ”coal boss - fighting power, 300 sections! Quack, quack...”
Aoki ignored the crow in zihi and looked at suhuilan: ”what's going on?”
Su Huilan said: ”the sky is the sea, which is not inconsistent with the closed space we speculated before. The coal boss feels that he is flying upward, but in fact, he may only be on a smooth distorted surface of the space. The lake and the sea are also integrated because of this distortion, or the sea has become a lake on the island because of this distortion. But...”
”But what?”
”But I can't explain some special phenomena, such as why there are clouds in the sky and why there is no light at night. It is reasonable to say that the starry sky on the island is very bright unless there are cloudy clouds and a storm is coming.”
”Will the space warp prevent the starlight from coming in?”
”Then why can you see the sun during the day?”
Aoki was a little worried and told the coal boss: ”anyway, don't move around until dawn.”
Suhuilan suddenly asked, ”where's Hanran and petru?”
”Sound? Oh, that silly cat won't not come back?” cried the crow.
Aoki and suhuilan's silence confirmed his guess. He became silent and muttered remorsefully: ”How could I leave her! I shouldn't have left her! No, no, no, silly cat will be fine. I reminded them that the old man is not easy to provoke. I told them to run. I saw red beard and threw a grenade. Although silly cat is a little fat, she runs very fast and will be fine... You say she will be fine, right?”
Aoki said, ”I hope savages don't eat cat meat.”
”No!” the crow jumped up and was so anxious, ”I'm going to find her. She's fine. She must be fine!...”
”You'd better not do anything stupid!” Aoki warned.
The crow looked at him steadily. It was the first time that there was a disagreement between them.
Su Huilan said, ”maybe it's really all right, but it's too dark. You may come back when dawn comes.”
Aoki hoped so, but he knew that the possibility was very small. When petru threw the grenade, it was still bright. At that time, he was walking back with the stunned living savage on his back. Later, he didn't hear the gunshot again, and the roar of the savage disappeared, indicating that they had stopped chasing.
”How strong is that old man in the end? Can't you stand it with hearty?” Aoki asked.
