Chapter 250 20: Soul Crow, who didn’t want to become a joke, began to live under the shelter of others
“Mom, can we take Mr. Crow with us?”
The next morning, the storm had already begun In the past, when people opened their windows, the fresh, moist air with the fragrance of earthy and green grass poured in.
Inside the house, Thalia dressed her daughter and covered her thin hair with a knitted hat.
Because they had an appointment to go to the hospital for a checkup today, the two of them got up early and didn't eat breakfast.
"No, Mr. Crow is still in a coma. What he needs at this time is recuperation."
"Then, can the hospital treat it? However, will it lose its hair like me? If Mr. Crow Can you still fly after losing all your feathers?”
Thalia felt a little uncomfortable when she heard this, pinched Phaedra’s little fleshless face, and said with a forced smile: “Just let it stay at home. Wait, maybe it will wake up when we come back from the examination."
"Good mother, don't you want to eat breakfast?"
"Mom is not hungry."
Phaedra got dressed and reluctantly walked out of the house with her mother holding her hand.
Looking back at last, the crow in the box was still motionless.
The door closed and the room returned to silence.
Until, a crow that was originally standing on a telephone pole outside watched the mother and daughter go away, and landed in front of a window, just in time to see the injured crow in the box.
After shaking its head and taking a closer look at the crow lying inside, it began to peck at the door and window with its beak.
Tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk.
After this continued for a while, the crow inside slowly opened its eyes, looking dazed.
Its body was swaying, and its wings subconsciously tried to use some strength, but there were bursts of stinging pain and it was difficult to flutter. It was probably that it could only walk like a free-range chicken.
The crow outside the window saw that its companion inside was awake, and began to crow, which could be faintly heard in the house.
The injured Crow reluctantly stood up, stood there, and began to recall what happened yesterday.
It's a soul crow.
The mission is to travel around the world and use the soul lamp to collect lost souls. Then every once in a while or when a certain amount is accumulated, the soul lamp will actively transmit the collected souls to Shiraishihang's original paradise. .
In the false heaven, these souls are a kind of consumable, used to maintain the operation of the false heaven and provide for the release of divine grace, making divine grace like an ancestral internal combustion engine, burning souls to cast Spells.
This kind of scene is completely unworthy of the name heaven, but it is a false heaven after all, and it is not easy to force more.
It was not until the false paradise was promoted to the original paradise and Bai Shihang regained the authority of the Creator that the paradise gradually returned to its original appearance.
At least the collected souls are no longer directly consumable. Heaven will be automatically divided into various levels according to the so-called soul strength, allowing you to enjoy eternal dreams or accept endless nightmares.
The [Aura] generated by the soul in the dream replaces the soul itself and becomes the new energy that maintains the operation of heaven and is cast by divine grace.
After being in contact with the soul for a long time, the soul crows can also enjoy a little improvement in wisdom and physical strength, especially the initial batch of soul crows, which have their own bodies carefully designed by Bai Shihang to be further improved. .
After several years of development, there are already many soul crow nests in the world. They will actively maintain the number at a certain scale. Every once in a while, they will reunite in the nest to hold banquets and satisfy themselves. own social needs.
Each soul crow that dies unnaturally will mark the murderer, and then other soul crows will lead a large number of crows to launch a retaliatory attack on the other party.
In addition, most soul crows are indeed rough-skinned, thick-skinned, and highly intelligent. They have been among the crows for a long time and cannot be dealt with by ordinary people.
Ordinary people would not dare to deal with them. Even organizations like the Soul Gathering, which have no scruples about murder and arson as long as there is profit, only dare to create opportunities and secretly observe their activities.
Yesterday’s situation was purely unlucky. The originally sunny weather suddenly changed, with lightning, thunder, and violent storms everywhere. In order to avoid the bad weather, it was preparing to use the soul lamp to move, but it was suddenly struck by lightning. , the body went numb, the soul lamp lost control, and they both fell to the city on the ground.
The legendary fall-resistant king didn't fall to death due to the deceleration of his feathers. He was only slightly injured. After adjusting, he was able to fly again and hurriedly looked in the direction of the soul lamp.
It is true that it can summon the soul lamp, but the premise is that the soul lamp must be summoned back by it before it can be summoned.
Now this situation is lost, but fortunately every soul crow can sense the location of its own soul lantern, but just when it is about to arrive at the house where the sensed soul lantern is, it is struck by another round of lightning. This time I really almost went to see the Supreme Being and completely lost consciousness.
After the soul crow, which was resistant to both hacking and falling, finally recovered, it saw a human kid daring to get his hands on the soul lamp, so he quickly snatched it away without saying a word, but it was a pity that it was overestimated. This affected his physical condition after being struck by lightning and thrown heavily twice in a row.
Barely able to control its direction, it exerted force and hit the window frame, causing its already weak body to suddenly shut down and even its wings were broken.
So, where is the soul lamp now?
The soul crow uses instinctive sensing and can only feel that it is getting farther and farther away from it, and it is constantly moving away.
The companions outside the window were still barking. The soul crow checked the distance, took a few steps, jumped up, endured the severe pain, flapped its wings a few times, and half-glided to the window.
After trying hard to push and pull the handle a few times, it realized that it could not open it, so it pressed against the crack of the window and shouted outside.
"Can't open! Find a way, find a place!"
The soul crow outside looked around, flew up, started to circle around the house, and soon found the second floor The glass was smashed yesterday and the study window was barely blocked with something.
Sneaking in through the gap, he opened the door quite skillfully, and flew down the stairs. The smaller soul crow finally formally met with the injured soul crow.
"Ah! Are you the boss of the inspector?" Little Soul Crow tilted his head and asked.
"Yes, when I passed by this city, I was struck by lightning and injured. Are you a local crow?"
"Φυσικ! I'm almost learning the local dialect!" The little soul crow seemed to A little proud, it looked like he had his hands on his hips, "Δσεμουπαττε! This means giving me French fries."
".Do you know where this family has gone?" It did not directly tell his soul. The lamp has been lost, because this is undoubtedly a big joke, especially since it is an inspector with a high position. If it really comes out, it will spread throughout the entire soul crow world within a month, and it will become a gathering of soul crows. One of the timeless classic jokes.
"I know! Just now, they got on the four-wheeler and left, but I don't know where they went." Little Soul Crow said truthfully, and then looked at the box reserved by Thalia. of grain, "Is this for the crows? Are they abusing you?"
Only now did the big soul crow pay attention to the small residence they made for themselves and the food they left behind.
Ignoring the grain, it smelled the small piece of cake, its eyes lit up, and it swallowed it in one gulp: "Gu, this is cake, haven't you ever eaten it?"
" No, is it delicious? It’s delicious. I’ll start learning the local dialect for “give me cake” tomorrow!
“Worse than French fries.”
“That must be delicious too!”
The big soul crow did not continue this topic and began to think among the little soul crow's chirping.
When she woke up yesterday, the soul lantern was in the hands of the little girl, which meant that it was picked up by this family. And just now the little soul crow saw this family leaving, which should mean that the soul lantern was with them. , there is no need to be anxious, the other party should be back soon, when the time comes, he will take the opportunity to take back the soul lamp, pretend to be a crow, heal the injury, and finally leave directly, the plan works!
This way, he will not expose the fact that he lost the soul lamp, and avoid becoming a joke.
"Boss, Inspector, do you need any help? Mom and Dad said that if a passing Inspector gives orders, we must obey them." Little Soul Crow asked.
"No, I will recuperate here! Wait a minute." Big Soul Crow suddenly asked solemnly, "Repeat the local dialect of 'Give me French fries' you just said."
afternoon.
Thalia returns with Phaedra. After leaving the hospital, Phaedra seemed a lot happier and immediately ran to the Crow Cottage to see Soul Crow's condition.
Thalia's face looked very bad. It could be seen that she was deeply worried, and there was a kind of breathless sadness hidden under her expression.
"Mom, look, Mr. Crow is awake! He's awake!" Phaedra shouted, pointing to the soul crow in the crow cabin, "It also ate the cake I gave, but those Doudou doesn’t seem to be moving.”
Thalia put her bag down casually, walked up to Phaedra with a forced smile, and knelt down to look at the crow together.
The soul crow glanced at the bag she had just put down. It knew the soul lamp was there, but it did not rush over. Instead, like an ordinary crow, it called twice and combed Picking up his slightly burnt feathers.
“We have encountered a picky crow.”
“Mom, is there anything else to eat?”
“I’ll look for tomatoes. Want to eat? ”
Thalia waved the tomato in front of Soul Crow.
The soul crow is not polite and starts eating directly. The more it eats, the faster its injuries will recover.
Phaedra just sat on the chair with her hands on her chin, looking fascinated.
Live animals allow her to intimately feel the rhythm of the world from a different perspective, adding a touch of other colors to the gray-based world.
Just staring so intently made Soul Crow feel a little embarrassed.
Is your family so reluctant to part with even a tomato? Or is this your last tomato?
Soul Crow hesitated and pushed the half-eaten tomato towards Phaedra.
“Give it to me?” Phaedra’s eyes had the brilliance that most children have, and her turquoise eyes seemed to be twinkling.
Hun Crow Guess can also guess what the other person means, and responds with two ahhhhhs.
As an old soul crow, it knows that the disguised crows of its own family also represent intelligence in the human world, although it dismisses it. In their eyes, soul crows are smarter than crows. How many levels higher were they, only these flightless, hairless two-legged beasts could barely compete with them.
Phaedra quickly took the half tomato and called to find her mother.
“You can’t eat it! This was eaten by a crow!”
“But, but, maybe this is a gift from a crow to a friend, and he regards me as a friend!”
"Hey, I'll give you another one. You and this crow friend can eat it together, okay?"
"Okay!"
Finally, Phaedra took a new tomato and handed the half tomato back to Soul Crow. Thalia was afraid that she wouldn't be able to finish it, so she specially picked the smallest one.
Fortunately, it seems that this family will not be left without two tomatoes.
In this case, it ate without any burden.
Just eating tomatoes without French fries is like eating French fries without ketchup, which makes Crow uncomfortable.
Greedy has struck, Soul Crow can’t live without French fries, just like the 3D Zone cannot live without Jerusalem.
"Δσεμουπαττε (Give me the French fries)!" After finishing the tomatoes, but just appetizing, the big soul crow couldn't help shouting.
Phaedra was startled, blinked twice, and asked in a hesitant tone: "Mr. Crow, what did you just say?"
"Give me the fries!" Big Soul Crow repeated.
Phaedra covered her mouth and went to find her mother again.
"Mom, mom! Mr. Crow has spoken, it really has spoken, and wants to eat French fries."
"How can a crow talk? This is not a parrot."
Although, in fact, crows can also learn to talk like parrots, but most people don't have this impression.
Thalia simply suspected that Phaedra wanted to eat it, so she made a request through the crow.
“It’s true, it’s true!”
“Give me the fries!”
"Listen, mother, listen, it said it again!"
"."
Thalia, who was called down twice to clean up the study room, rubbed Thalia helplessly. The little head said: "Well, this crow can indeed talk, but it is just imitating human words. Maybe it had a previous owner who taught it such a sentence, and it doesn't know what it means. My dear, it can't. There are crows that really like to eat French fries, and they won’t take the initiative to ask for French fries. If you don’t believe it, try talking to it and see if it only says this.”
Phaedra doesn’t give up. , and began to ask other questions to Soul Crow.
"Mr. Crow, what's your name?"
"Give me the chips!"
"You, where did you come from?"
"Give me the chips!"
"Want a Coke?"< br>
“Give me the fries!”
After several rounds of dialogue, Phaedra finally confirmed that Mr. Crow did not understand what she said and was just repeating it.
This result made her a little depressed, and she thought she could make a friend with whom she could talk and communicate.
The soul crow kept calling for a long time, but they seemed to be indifferent. Instead, they said something unknown to it. It also knew that the French fries were probably missing.
Unfortunately, all soul crows' natural languages are English, and the local dialect here is so different from English that it can understand no sentence except for the sentence 'Give me the fries' of.
It’s just that its wings were injured, otherwise Soul Crow would never be short of French fries.
In their view, the "chip shops" everywhere are free food supply points, and those who dare to walk down the street with chips are vending machines.
Some of the more qualified soul crows will pretend to be extremely smart crows and perform tricks in exchange for French fries. The unqualified ones are really unqualified. I had a great time eating it, and it can be said to be a zero-dollar purchase for correct skin color.
However, they basically do not compete with other birds for natural food, so they have no impact on the local ecological chain, unless fast food restaurants are also part of the ecological chain.
Just when it thought it wouldn't be able to enjoy French fries while recuperating, the sneaky Phaedra gave it a surprise that night.
"Mr. Crow, do you really want French fries?"
