dry man, dry soul

There is a distance from the infirmary to the restaurant.

The pool will be walking past on the way and will easily run into tourists.Tourists deliberately avoid them as explorers.Instead of watching others avoid him, he naturally chose the less crowded road and turned the corner to the restaurant.

On the cruise ship, all roads lead to Rome, and after twists and turns, you can finally reach the restaurant, and the road he carefully chose has so few people that there are almost no people in the front and back.

When he turned a corner, his footsteps stopped unexpectedly.

Not far ahead, the actress of the acrobatic troupe was leaning against the wall with her head down, pressing her mobile phone.She had just cried miserably on the stage, her eyes were red, and now she bit her lip slightly, obviously not recovering from the accident just now.The red lips with makeup were bitten off by her, and the delicate eyeliner and eye shadow also melted around the eye sockets, blurring a whole circle, looking quite embarrassed.

Hearing footsteps, the actress raised her head.

Seeing Chi Jiang suddenly appearing in front of her, she twitched the corner of her mouth in an ugly way: "Hello."

It was extremely quiet all around.The actress had the idea of ​​avoiding the crowd, and deliberately chose a place where there was no one.Who would have thought that she would meet someone in the place she carefully selected.

General Chi: "Hello."

Chi Jiang didn't expect that the actress would hide in a corner where no one was around.He thought of the roar of the head of the acrobatic troupe just now, and he was puzzled: "The head of your acrobatic troupe said that you should rehearse as soon as possible. Shouldn't you discuss with everyone how to replace the injured actor's performance? "

The corners of the actress's lips fell quickly.

The sadness on her face couldn't be concealed, and she almost said tears in her eyes: "That's it. I found a reason to come out and take a breath. The state is so bad, I'm afraid I will fall from the sky too. If I If it falls too, the regiment will really lose a lot of money.”

Not everyone can quickly recover from a tragedy.She put away her mobile phone: "There is a lot of pressure. Those who perform acrobatics may be injured at any time. The lighter ones are only contusions and fractures, while the heavier ones are gone."

She paused: "The most frightening thing is that the person is still alive, but left the stage paralyzed. Even daily life is difficult. Life is worse than death."

Chi Jiang followed old man Ge since he was a child, and was a cook since he was a child. He likes to cook and be a chef in his life.The actress in front of him was different from him, and sounded very repulsed by the acrobatic troupe.Maybe it's not the rejection of performances, but mainly the rejection of injuries.

Chi Jiang offered his opinion: "Should I consider changing my career? You should be able to do many other jobs while you are young."

When the actress heard Chi Jiang's words, she quickly laughed: "...If you have the ability, who would think of the acrobatic troupe to make money?"

Chi Jiang has traveled all over the world for many years, thinking that there are many choices for changing careers.For a young and capable young man like an actress, it is actually very good to be a short video actor.In other words, is there any short video in this world?

How about finding a suitable place to open a small shop?Being a little proprietress at least doesn't have to worry about getting hurt.

Before he could open his mouth, the actress fell into a conversation to herself: "Actually, the acrobatic troupe nowadays is pretty good, and they can go all over the world and do simple performances. Back then, the acrobatic troupe was much more chaotic than it is now. At that time, the acrobatic troupe would do everything to attract people's attention." I can figure it out. At that time, there was an acrobatic troupe that was very popular, and there were short dwarfs in it, and there were women with long five-year-olds and thick beards, and there were people with crooked mouths who could only write and sew with their hands.”

"Once such a group becomes popular, it will inevitably be imitated. In this world, it is easier to find some special people than to create a special person by yourself? They specially buy people, train them to beat and scold them, and deliberately create disabilities. In the past The era in which the acrobatic troupe lived was such a chaotic era. Some people would specially cripple their children and sell them to the acrobatic troupe.”

General Chi: "..." The history of your acrobatic troupe is terrible!Why not change careers early!

He really didn't understand: "Is there no one to care about it? If you are not old enough to participate in the acrobatic troupe, it is considered child labor. When you are old enough, you don't need a guardian and you can run away. There is no need to stay in the acrobatic troupe."

The actress shook her head slightly: "No one cares about calling the police. Most of us are orphans without parents. If we leave, no one will give the child an extra bite of food. If there is a disability, no one will ask for it. Others will adopt it. They will give priority to adopting able-bodied children, who will bear the additional burden of a disabled child? What if they run away when they are old?"

She was depressed: "This world is very dangerous. Human beings are as fragile as dolls in front of all kinds of creatures. You should know better as an explorer. Humans can easily die in this world."

General Chi: "..." No, he doesn't know very well.

He has only experienced abnormalities twice so far, and he hasn't even read Old Man Ge's diary completely, so he is a veritable little deaf-blind.This world is very strange to him.

The actress cheered herself up, tried to relax again and smiled: "If possible, I hope to make a lot of money. After that, I want to go to school, and it is best to stay in the office and draw. I want to be a designer Teacher, make all kinds of beautiful clothes."

There was imagination in her words, but also faint despair: "But I don't know if I still have this opportunity. I don't know if there will be a day when I suddenly die. This world is really too dangerous."

The fear of the native humans came almost out of words.

Chi Jiang faintly realized that although this world was similar to his world, the order should be more chaotic than his world.All kinds of creatures are superior to human beings, which will inevitably make it difficult for human beings to control their own order.

Maybe it's not that actresses don't want to change jobs, but that life after changing jobs is more likely to be more dangerous than performing in an acrobatic troupe.

He could only comfort: "You can do it. And Sonny. There is another actor named Sonny? He will definitely stand in front of you in good health. I know that doctor. His medical skills are a bit good." Mainly luck A bit powerful.

The actress was encouraged and nodded vigorously: "You are right. You explorers are all very powerful. They all said that places with explorers are prone to disasters. In fact, there are already enough disasters. Your appearance was originally to solve disasters. .”

Her smile became a little more sincere: "Can you see that? Sonny stutters. He always speaks badly. The more badly he speaks during this time, the more he will shrink back. The leader thinks he is not kind. He is actually a very good actor, and he will be very good in the future. When he recovers, I must talk to him more. We are still young!"

Chi Jiang: "Youth represents a future with infinite possibilities."

He pointed behind the actor: "It's almost time, I'm going to the kitchen. I'm a chef."

Suddenly, the actress hurriedly made way for Chi Jiang.

General Chi was about to go forward, when the actress saw that the white-haired chef was leaving, she suddenly realized that the two of them hadn't exchanged names: "By the way, my name is Aina."

General Chi: "General Chi."

As soon as the words were finished, the dice in front of Chi Jiang suddenly appeared again.

General Chi: "...?"

[Listening: 81/30, judgment failed. 】

General Chi: "..." Sorry, he is really deaf.

Before he could feel too much emotion, Chi Jiang suddenly threw the dice twice wildly in the void in front of him, and the mechanical sound rang in his ears quickly.

[Dodge: 71/40, judgment failed. 】

[Fighting: 57/50, the judgment failed. 】

General Chi: "??"

At this same moment, a creature fell from top to bottom in front of Chi Jiang's eyes, paralyzed on the ground and unable to struggle for the time being.In General Chi's sight, two white hairs fell leisurely, and were successfully cut off next to the creature, as if paying homage to the creature's miserable condition.

One dodge failed, one fight failed.

Pool will react.This strange creature intends to attack itself.He didn't realize that the creature was going to attack him, so he failed to dodge, but the creature's fighting ability was very weak, so he failed in the fight, and only got two hairs off of himself.

What a beautiful battle of futility!

Chi Jiang subconsciously reached out to his backpack and quickly took out his kitchen knife.This thing is falling from above.He looked up.A vent in the cabin aisle had lost its front shutter-like cover.

He lowered his head again to look at the strange creature that appeared suddenly.

About 1.5 meters long.

This strange creature possessed four limbs that were not known as hands or feet.Two of them have large claws similar to crabs.One of these should be the creature's head, which has three eyes.The eyes of this creature are different from human eyes, it has no whites.The three black beads side by side are so deep that it is frightening.

The last remaining limb seems to be a mouthpart that can swallow foreign objects.There are eight green tentacles on the mouthparts, shrinking in the air, allowing people to see the densely packed sharp teeth.Sticky saliva can be faintly seen on the tip of the teeth.

Its body is both insect-like and somewhat similar to marine shrimp and crabs.

General Chi never thought that there would be such a creature on board.This is obviously not a creature that can be seen everywhere in human life.It is like a strange creature that was spliced ​​together by an unshakable external force after some biochemical experiments, and finally formed.

[Sanity: 2/75, big success. 】

Chi Jiang didn't feel scared at all.He stared at the creature, full of curiosity about this wonderful creature.A creature trying to attack itself, of course, does not need to continue living.

He raised the knife, happy to make this strange thing one of the ingredients for his research.

Tonight's dinner might be settled.

The sharp kitchen knife went down, and before a certain strange creature had time to make the next move, it was swiped by the kitchen knife several times under the lightning speed, cutting off four limbs at once.

The two big pincers landed on the ground, beside the trembling and shrinking mouthparts, not far away lay the innocent and pitifully looking at the extremely weak three black eyes.

Aina stared blankly at the scene in front of her, and stared blankly into those black eyes.

The author says:

Chi Jiang: So I also had great success!

(It was really lost on the spot!)
