Chapter 264 The Steel Bridge Is About to Collapse
"How could those old guys not grant me leave if I want to ask for leave? If they don't, I will drug them and make them collectively constipated for a week.
The effect of this potion was not unkind, and Riya silently observed three seconds of silence for the people who taught Saffir.
"You haven't told me your identity yet."
"You will know this secret after the tea party."
"Okay, okay, you're such a boring person."
"Who said that? I always think the jokes I tell are funny." Riya rejected Shafir's stereotype of himself. He likes to tell jokes, although most of the time others can't tell that they are jokes.
But at least a bad joke is a joke.
"Woo——————"
The train was still speeding, with a huge rumbling sound complementing the white smoke sprayed from the top, and it was gradually leaving the suburbs and heading towards the new urban area.
This is still South Adelin, still dozens of miles away from the edge of North Adelin, but as long as you pass the Manlawi Steel Bridge, you can successfully reach North Adelin, and there will be a different scene on the other side.
At this time, the steam train was rushing across the track like a huge steel monster and officially drove onto the Manlawi Bridge.
Near the bridge, several children were playing. The moment they saw the billowing smoke from the train, they excitedly tried to run away and chase them.
Everyone knew that this was impossible, but several children still enjoyed it. They raced with each other and approached the edge of the steel bridge. The moment they stepped onto the bridge, several people raised their heads, their steps paused, and their faces were visible to the naked eye. stunned.
At this time, many people walked out of their homes and looked up at the sky. After a while, they suddenly realized something was wrong and hurriedly returned home and locked the doors and closed the doors and windows. However, there were still a few people who survived. Look towards the sky with your heart.
The sky is gloomy, and foggy days have always been a frequent visitor here, and now rain falls from the clouds again. The rain is not heavy, but the sound of striking everything is enough to compose a piece of music.
There is a group of small crows hovering in the sky. They fly in an irregular and not dense manner. It can even be said that they fly very randomly.
At this time, almost everyone heard the singing brought by this unknown group of guys.
"The steel bridge is going to collapse, collapse, collapse..."
"The steel bridge is going to collapse, collapse..."
Crows are called "mourning birds". They are extremely intelligent and can imitate a variety of sounds. At this time, they imitated the voices of children and sang such songs in innocent tones. In today's rainy day Even more weird.
"Tick tock tock."
The rain accompanied them. Several children did not know what it was to be afraid. They were amazed that these animals could sing the same songs as they did. So the children also opened their mouths and opened their throats and sang together with them to sing unusually inappropriate music.
On the train, everyone, whether they were patients or ordinary people, came to the window. They looked at this strange scene, and their shock turned into fear.
"Is the bridge going to collapse?"
"This bridge is one of the strongest bridges in Endles, how could it collapse so easily!"
"The crow speaks human language!!!"
People were panicking, and some even wanted to ask the train conductor to turn around. They shouted, crowded, and ran, which could be regarded as one of the accompaniments of this "concert."
The staff on the train tried their best to appease everyone. They said that it was just a group of birds imitating human singing. Since the Manlawi Bridge was built, it has undergone many strength tests and it is impossible for it to collapse.
I don’t know how much they believe this.
Compared with those who know nothing, people with pollution syndrome are obviously much calmer, but some are only calm on the surface.
"They are not ordinary crows."
"It's true that he is an epidemic doctor."
"Then what do they want to do?"
"Who knows, maybe it's just to see us off and leave here. It's quite warm, but I can't understand the content."
The patients were communicating with each other, and Riya was staring at the crows outside the window. Suddenly, a particularly strong crow flew outside his window next to the glass window, fluttering its wings and running parallel to the train.
[The steel bridge is going to collapse, collapse, collapse... the steel bridge is going to collapse...]
The bird sang this song in a hoarse voice. During this period, it tilted its head, opened its mouth with blood-red eyes, and showed a human smile towards Ria. Then, it "fluttered" before the young man opened his mouth. It flew away from here, and a few feathers fell off as it moved.
At that moment, Riya's fist suddenly tightened and released. He heard something beside him continuing the crow's unfinished melody. After searching carefully, he found that the sound was made by little Shivall.
It couldn't speak, but it still remembered the melody by instinct, and then half-closed its eyes and sang intermittently with a sharp voice like a bird. The voice of the mythical creature added to the already abnormal atmosphere. Depressing and gloomy.
"What are you doing here without watching the door, James?"
Riya didn't know their intention of doing this, but it must be to remind them of something.
Those tones sounded familiar to Riya, but he couldn't remember where he had heard them before.
"Crows were birds of disaster in the past, and their appearance heralded disaster. Now the gathering of epidemic doctors in this way is definitely not a simple farewell.
If the Manrawi Bridge really collapses later, it means that what they are singing is indeed superficial, but if the bridge does not collapse, I am afraid that their songs are related to deeper natural disasters. "
"The Manrawi Bridge will really collapse one day."
Melfas analyzed the reasons for the appearance of the plague doctors in a logical manner, while Shafei leaned against the right window and looked out the window - there was a crow outside, firmly digging its claws into the skin of the train to fix its body.
"Don't worry, Corey, I will be fine. Don't worry about me. I have grown up and can protect myself."
"I tell you, I have met new friends, and this is my first time to go to a tea party. I will definitely meet more people by then, and then sell my magic potion to everyone."
"It would be great if Corey could accompany me in..."
"You said that Dad looked weird today? Nonsense, he looks very good."
"..."
"Okay, goodbye, we will play together next time! ”
After Shafei finished speaking and sent the crow off, she turned around and saw Melface looking at her with complicated eyes.
“You seem to have a very good relationship.”
“Well, Corey is my friend. He actually disagreed with me going to the tea party, but he couldn’t get rid of me, so I came.”
“Why do I feel that the plague doctors are a group that respects the elderly and loves the young, but they keep torturing us in the middle. Is this their professional ethics?”
The song is adapted from the nursery rhyme "London Bridge Is Felling Down". Listening to some music will make the atmosphere more lively.
