No one cared about little Alberta's gibberish at the time, and the dagger flashed a strange light on the counter after little Albert said those words, and this light seemed to affect people's minds.Kirk said goodbye to Lady Lillian and packed up his things and left the store.Lady Lillian smiled and sent them out the door, and she sat down by the cashier and rolled up her sleeves.The rough skin under the sleeves had begun to keratinize, and Lady Lillian smiled bitterly, "After all, I still haven't escaped the curse of gold. ”She flipped the sign behind the store from 'Open' to 'Resting', changed into her favorite outfit, and stood in front of a full-length mirror.She seemed to see in the mirror the man who had made her think about it day and night, hugging her from behind.The man smiled softly and handed over the fish-scale dagger."
I know, I know, you've always been there for me.I'm coming for you. ”Lady Lillian shyly took the dagger, glowing with a strange white light, and stabbed it into her chest.The thorn was not deep enough for Lady Lilian to die immediately, but blood still spurted from her wound.She collapsed to the ground, and she saw the man's face begin to change to that of a person with Innsmouth syndrome.Ugly, disgusting, and disgusting, a tear welled from the corner of Lady Lilian's eye, but a wry smile hung from the corner of her mouth.Yes, she knows it all.Whether it's Innsmouth syndrome, or the criminal gold, it all started when he came to that beach.The man who left without leaving his name is the culprit of everything.Lady Lillian had thought about jumping off the Black Reef of Despair, but she didn't have the courage because she was pregnant with a child.With the last of her strength, she propped herself up and reached out to touch the face of the person in the mirror, but what she touched was the cold touch of the mirror itself.The blood-stained fish-scale dagger fell to the ground with a crisp metallic sound, and the eye-like glyphs lit up with the blood.Lady Lillian closed her eyes, and the small merchandise shop was closed forever.Kirk pushed little Albert to wander the streets of Milan, unaware of the fact that Lady Lillian had died shortly after they had gone.Having bought a nice outfit, Kirk was in a good mood, so he hummed a little tune and slowly pushed Albert to look at the scenery on the streets of Milan."
Hey!
You!
Turn your head!
”The sound of a rough mine came from behind Kirk, and Kirk looked back in confusion when he heard this, only to see a middle-aged man in a police uniform walking towards him angrily.I don't know why Kirk didn't think the man with a beer belly was wearing a police uniform that didn't fit well."
Did you register in Milan?"
A man dressed as a police officer asked in a frightening gesture with his hands folded."
Registration?
Oh, I don't know, I came with my husband and brother-in-law. ”Kirk replied honestly."
Take out your temporary residence certificate, otherwise, ma'am, I can only invite you to the police station for a cup of tea."
The man with a meaty face said viciously.Kirk was pondering why he had never heard of a temporary residence certificate or anything like that, when he saw the man stretch out his right hand, rubbing his index finger and thumb.She instantly understood the intention of the man dressed as a policeman, and with the mentality that more is better than less, Kirk reached into his pocket and was about to pull out his wallet.From the corner of the street stepped out two men with neat steps and awe-inspiring justice, also wearing police uniforms.After seeing the middle-aged man with a meaty face, the two quickened their pace and pushed him to the ground from behind."
Old Duncan, come to cheat money again?!"
The slightly younger policeman was handcuffed by Duncan Sr., who cried and begged for mercy, "No, no, no, I just walked out in my son's police uniform." ”"This lady, is what he said true?"
Older policemen with mustaches on their faces took out a notebook and pen that they carried with them to record what was happening at the scene."
Oh, I'm sure it's probably just a misunderstanding, I'm just asking old Mr.
Duncan for directions."
Kirk realizes that Duncan Sr. may be a street thug disguised as a police officer, and offending such a person will cause a lot of trouble, so he exonerates Duncan Sr."
Old Duncan, count yourself lucky."
The younger officer released Duncan Sr.'
s handcuffs, and Duncan Sr. gave Kirk a grateful look, got up from the ground, and walked away.Kirk didn't care, so he smiled and replied."
This lady, you're a foreigner, aren't you?"
The older officer asked, looking at Kirk's dress."
Well, that's right, how can you tell at a glance that I'm a foreigner, officer?"
Kirk asked curiously.The officer showed off a coat of arms on his chest, which was a round metal coat of arms, with a lot of hollowed-out parts in the middle, and two straight lines pulled to form a complex image."
Every resident of Milan wears this coat of arms as an amulet, a custom that has been passed down from ancestors.Maybe only the professors in the library and the university will know what this amulet means, but it's a good way to distinguish a foreigner. ”The bearded officer shrugged his shoulders, and Kirk covered his mouth and smiled, "I see, no wonder Lady Lillian and Duncan Sr. in the merchandise store can tell at a glance that I'm a foreigner." ”At this time, Albert was playing with the compass that Alphes had given him, and he shook the compass in both hands, and he noticed something strange.The compass's hands are constantly rotating, no longer stopping as they used to be, and then returning to a north-south position.If a physicist had been here, he might have noticed a change in the magnetic field at the scene, but Kirk and the police officer didn't pay attention to this detail.The wind picked up, and a man in a pale yellow suit stepped out of the alley and bent over to little Albert in the stroller.None of the people present except Albert noticed the man who had the air of an artist.Little Albert shook the compass with his fleshy little hands and accidentally dropped the compass to the ground."
Haha!
Ha ha!
”Kirk looked back and saw the compass on the ground, purely as little Albert was playing with the compass, and laughed.Bending over Albert to pick up the compass, he put it back on Albert's small table."
These thugs love to bully strangers and cheat them out of their money, ma'am, if you are in any trouble, you are welcome to come to the police station on Planck Street for help.In addition, today's events also need to be recorded a little, please provide your name?
”The older officer kindly reminded.Kirk lifted the sides of her skirt and bent her knees slightly, she understood that this might be an office process that the police needed to go through, "Thank you for the officer's reminder, I will pay more attention."
I'm Pauline Kirk.Temporary stay at the Woodcutter's Inn at 3 Planck Street. ”"Yes, Miss Kirk.We hope you have good memories and enjoy this sunny day in Milan. ”The officer waved his hand at Kirk and continued his patrol.Kirk turned to look at Albert, who was looking at the alley in a daze, and squatted down and scratched little Albert's nose with his index finger, "Naughty, don't throw things." ”Normally, little Albert would laugh at this time and then hold his fingers with his little hand, but today little Albert didn't do that.His eyes were straight on the alley."
Mom!
Ha ha!
”Little Albert pointed to the alley with his pink little finger, and Kirk followed Albert's gaze, but it was empty.Kirk didn't pay much attention to Albert's words, stood up and pushed the stroller away.The man in yellow in the alley reappeared, "Grow up quickly, owner of the Silver Key.We've all been waiting for you for a long, long time.The stage is set up, the script is arranged, and when you, the leading actor, are in place, the grand stage play will be released.Hahaha. ”The man left a barrage of laughter in the alley, covering his face and hiding in the darkness as if it had never been there.Kirk returned to the woodcutter's inn and picked Albert out of the stroller.Faintly smelling a foul smell, Kirk touched little Albert's ass through his pants and found that it was a little hot and humid."
Huh~ little villain, why don't you say it?"
Kirk frowned and cursed.Little Albert's eyes were a little hollow, and he didn't seem to know that his crotch was dirty.Kirk carried little Albert to the bathroom and gave little Albert a bath by the way.During the bath, little Albert did not play with the water as excitedly as usual, splashing the water everywhere, but obediently let Kirk wash his body.Little Albert was thinking, thinking with his little head.What do these names that appear in your head one after another mean?
Why do you see the distant starry sky and the vast universe yourself?
Where did all the shining stars in this universe come from?
Why do you have eyes in the stars, looking at yourself?
A lot of questions arose in little Albert's little head.Although he had been looked at twice by the man in yellow before, he had no fear.Little Albert scratched his head with his soap bubble-stained hand, and then his attention turned to the shiny bubbles.He smiled happily, "Bubbles!"
Bubbles!
”Kirk watched as his child had been actively talking lately, and even though it was just a word that came out one by one, he still felt a real sense of happiness.———— a tavern in Milan There were not many customers in the tavern, and the waiter was resting on a table in the corner, and there was a burst of snoring.The bartender stood behind the bar and wiped the glasses, and after wiping them, he looked at them under the light to make sure there were no traces of water or fingerprints on the glasses before hanging them.The owner of the tavern sat leisurely on the booth and looked at the ledger.A dark-skinned guest in a black tuxedo sat on a booth not far away, gently shaking the red wine in his glass.He seemed to be waiting for someone.It's a strange thing.Usually in broad daylight, people will choose to be in a café or banquet hall, but this one is dressed in formal clothes, orders a bottle of red wine and sits quietly for a morning."
Jingle bells."
The door to the bar was pushed open.A man dressed in a yellow suit walked in.The black man in the black tuxedo gave a hearty smile and waved at the guests who came in.The man with the air of an artist on his body saw the black man and walked straight over."

Hey, sit down."
The black man bared a mouthful of large white teeth and said with a grin."
Would you like a drink?"
The black man said to himself, then took a goblet and dropped a third of it to the man sitting in front of him.The boss glanced up at the two of them, and after they seemed to be talking normally, they continued to work, not caring about their conversation.The man in yellow pinned Erlang's legs and gracefully shook the red wine in his goblet.I put it to my mouth and tasted it, "The taste is average." ”"It's just a tavern, and you can't ask them to give you the same good sacrifices as your believers."
The mysterious black man shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly."
You still like to wear yellow so much.""
Well, a hobby.""
See?""
See."
Simple conversations are shockingly informative.The two men were silent for a while, and then the black man smiled and said, "Don't get too involved, Yug will be unhappy." ”The man in yellow seemed to hear a ridiculous joke, patted his thigh flamboyantly, and let out bursts of laughter, "Hahahaha!
”The owner of the tavern snorted in displeasure and muttered softly, "Why are people so unqualified now?"
”The black man turned back to the boss and cast a look of pity, pity and sorrow, but with a hint of schadenfreude.The man in yellow moved his ears and laughed even more wildly when he heard this.The hotel owner patted the table, "Sir, please be quiet." ”The man in yellow instantly straightened his face and asked the black man, "I'll deal with it." ”The black man shrugged, "Whatever you want."
Just don't get dirty on the ground, I still like this place.It's quiet, and it's quite suitable for someone like me to stay for a while. ”The man in yellow cast a disdainful look at the black man, then glared at the hotel owner.The innkeeper seems to have seen a huge creature roaming the universe, and no description can express its grandeur.This behemoth is the ultimate in horror, and no matter how terrifying things can reach one ten-thousandth of it.The hotel owner cradled his head frantically and let out a scream like a pig.The bartender and waiter hurried over to the crazy hotel owner to see what was going on with the boss.The black man turned to them in a friendly way and said, "You'd better take him to the hospital right away, it's a symptom of epilepsy." ”The two of them immediately let out an oh oh and carried the boss out.The bar fell silent as the staff left.The man in yellow laughed contemptuously, "What does it have to do with me if Bubbles is unhappy?"
He couldn't break the game himself. ”The black man covered his face helplessly, "He's too old-fashioned." ”"Since you can't resist, let's watch this good show.Even, go on stage to participate in the performance together.That's my state of mind. ”The man in yellow said calmly and solemnly.The black man looked at the man in yellow who was as crazy as ever, and he became serious."
I almost forgot, you love to play as much as I do, hahahaha!"
The black man seemed to be unable to hold back his smile and raised the red wine glass in his hand, "Let's toast to the growth of the silver spoon!"
”"Cheers!"
