[Infrastructure] Rose kissed Barcelona

"Does it hurt?" Joey pulled his brother up from the ground, out of breath.

"I told you not to touch these things! It's dangerous!"

"It hurts." Alfonso nodded honestly, then looked at the fingertips hesitantly, "but it still feels numb... I can't stop it."

Joy: ...the life safety science education for teenagers is urgent.

"Alfonso, listen up. This is called electricity - it's a very powerful energy. It can move machines like steam, which is called mechanical energy; it can also heat metal through electric current, and convert it into heat or light. , or whatever energy you need."

"It will become an important force to promote the progress of human civilization in the next era. But because of its power, it is also very dangerous. The voltage of my battery pack is not high. If the power supply in real applications, you may already have I'm dead!"

Having said that, a light suddenly flashed across Joey's mind.

I always feel a little familiar...as if something is about to come out.

Her thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a knock on the door.

"His Royal Highness Alfonso, someone from Madrid is looking for you. It is said that it was entrusted by Lord Castillo." It was Pascal's voice.

"Castillo? That must be something important. Okay, I'll come right away." Alfonso felt a little dizzy, and walked out holding the table.

Joey looked at his back and sweated.Fortunately, this is a liquid battery pack made by her after consulting Volt's experimental records and her little electrical knowledge. The voltage is not high, so there is no big problem.

In this era when dry batteries did not exist, her battery pack consisted of neatly stacked copper and zinc plates in a tall tank filled with dilute sulfuric acid.The original Volt used silver and zinc, but Joy opted for a thriftier version.

"Your Highness, you also have a message." Pascal sent Alfonso away and continued to talk to Joey.

"who?"

"Mr. Boaba Abbas from the school of architecture. He said he would be interested in taking over your house if you need it."

"Wait, why did Boaba come here suddenly?... Wait a moment for me to clear up my thoughts." Without beginning or end, Joey was a little confused for a while.

"It's true that you have too many things these days, and you are so busy day and night, it's normal if you don't remember."

Pascal smiled and said, "The day before yesterday, according to your request, the plane on the pillar was cut along the line drawn by the city hall. The acceptance was passed yesterday, and the construction can continue."

Oh, there is such a thing.Joy tapped her head. Her mind was full of sheep and sheep these days, and she almost forgot that her house was still being remodeled.

But it's okay.It has been raining recently. For the sake of safety, the construction site will stop working when it encounters heavy rain, and the construction period is not delayed much.

Joey pondered for a moment, and suddenly remembered someone he hadn't seen for several days: "Boaba's message, does Antonio know? How did he react?"

"This... I'm not sure either. However, Mr. Gordy hasn't shown up for the past few days, but he was on the construction site again this morning. According to the foreman, he walked around the planarized column without saying a word After a few laps, he began to direct the workers to put the bricks where he asked - as if nothing had happened."

Joey evoked a knowing smile.

She just knew it.He will definitely be back.

Who can't love Casa Batllo?Not to mention the designer of this work himself.That magnificent soul has already taken root in his heart, and he has not seen it become a real building, so he definitely doesn't want to give up.

"Meow—" Ziyawu's little nose sneaked out from the half-hidden door, then stretched out his claws, and pushed the door open a crack.The black cat, which was as soft as a puddle of mud, assumed a twisted and submissive posture, and slid in.

"Purple tooth crow? This is not the place for you." Joey reached out to hug it.

Electric currents that only mean severe pain and dizziness to humans may be fatal to a small cat.For Ziyawu, this laboratory is full of dangers.

Of course, a cat that breaks bottles and jars is also dangerous for a lab.

But Ziyawu saw its master reaching out to hug it, turned around and ran briskly.After running a few steps in small steps, he turned around again, "Meow——"

Does this mean that she should follow?Joey thought suspiciously.

Don't have any presents to give her.

"Pascal, Ziyawu doesn't play dead birds anymore, right?" She was a little worried and wanted to confirm with Mr. Housekeeper again.

Ziyawu's meeting ceremony at the beginning really left a huge psychological shadow on her.

"Your Highness, don't worry." Pascal smiled, "Zi Yawu probably just wanted to take you to Mr. Gaudí's studio—you haven't been there for a long time."

It's true that Joey hasn't been to Antonio's studio in a while, even though it's next door.

Previously, because Joey often visited the door, Antonio even developed the habit of not closing the door.But ever since the two had a conflict over whether to cut the pillar or not, he has closed the door—because Ziyawu would sneak over to inspect his territory from time to time, and if he didn't open the door, he would scratch the door and scream Neighbors had to poke their heads out to see what happened, so Antonio, who was too lazy to bother, left a door for the cat even if he wanted to show his attitude.

It turns out that Pascal was right.After running a few steps, Ziyawu turned around and gave Joey a "meow", and finally led her into Antonio's studio.

Just like squeezing into Joey's laboratory just now, the cat twisted and got in, and kicked the door open with its hind legs.

Amidst the chaos, Ziyawu walked familiarly, deftly avoiding all sharp and fragile things, and climbed up to the top of the highest shelf along the stack of books in the blink of an eye, stretching out his claws lazily I took a look at the small plate on it—at this time, there was only the last bit of chicken breast left in the small plate.

The cat stared at a pair of big round eyes, pulled the chicken breast again, and "meowed" reproachfully.

Joey: "..." Such a useless cat, whose family belongs to it?

That position is so high, I don't know how Antonio put the chicken breast on it.She can't do it.

Moreover, it doesn't seem very good to trespass into other people's rooms when the master is not there.

Joey thought about it and planned to leave.Eat the stinky stuff inside and out, ask your master architect to eat it.

But her gaze quickly swept across the workbench as she turned around, and her steps stopped involuntarily.

what is that?

The moral little angel and the curious little devil fought, and Joey quickly surrendered - I just took a look, just a look.

When he got closer, he could see that there were many curves drawn on the blueprints spread out on the table-Joy could understand at a glance that this was the trajectory of a parabola.

It's just that the thrown things are many sheep.

The front of the tram was sketched on the edge of the picture, with the speed and wind speed marked underneath.Dozens of sheep flew parabolas of various curvatures on the paper, and the painter even drew a simple sketch of each sheep with its head and legs broken when it landed rather boringly.

Joey was thoughtful, and his eyes moved to the materials and books piled up next to him.

"Strange Tales of Unknown Cause of Death", "Compendium of Goat Diseases", "The Art of Cursing", "Kinetics", and "Unsolved Mysteries of the World", are varied. "Handbook of Winter Goat Breeding" and Franklin's "Electrical Experiments" stacked together.

Joey was taken aback.If I understand correctly, is Antonio studying the case of the dead sheep on the tram?And also seems to be interested in her experiment with electric lights.

Before she had time to think about it, she suddenly heard footsteps coming from the corridor.

not good!

Joey turned around quickly and walked out the door.

That's too late!

When she walked quickly to the door, another figure just appeared at the door.Joey almost missed the brakes, and when he was about to fall on the man, he was supported by a hand.Only then did she stabilize her steps.

... This is a bit embarrassing.

Antonio was much taller than she and blocked her light as he stood in the doorway.In the shadow cast by him, Joey quickly raised his eyes against the light and took a look, unable to see the expression on his face clearly.

"Miss Fernandez, what do you want to do in my studio?" Antonio asked lightly.

Joey lowered his eyes guiltyly, only to notice that the architect in a white shirt was holding a piece of chicken breast in his hand.

She had an idea: "Oh, since you bought the chicken breast back, then I don't care about it. Just now Ziyawu meowed and brought me here, but when I came to see it, it turned out that it was hungry and was going to give it to me. It's looking for something to eat."

God, she swore on her conscience that she hadn't said a single lie.

"So that's the case." Antonio didn't ask any more questions, and stepped aside.

That's it?Joey couldn't believe it.

Hey, Grumpy Architect has transformed.It's not a mouthful anymore.

Before she lifted her legs and left, a calm voice came from beside her: "That's right. You shouldn't be here, but you should be in Boaba's studio."

Um?Joey smelled something different.

"After all, you must look down on an architect like me with a bad track record and a failing record. Miss Fernandez is already a well-known patron, and there are many talented architects who want to build your house."

Oh hoo.Antonio's ridicule, although late, arrived.

This little mouth is really poisonous, even scolding himself when he gets awkward.

Joey sighed silently in his heart, no wonder the masters in history never married.Some people are really betting on their own lives based on their strength.

A few exclamations rolled through her heart, Joy raised her head and raised a sweet and innocent smile: "Of course. But the famous patron, Ms. Fernandez, is still a little curious. In this case, her architect Mr. is going to the construction site today what to do?"

Dear Mr. Architect, it's not my fault.It was you who started the conversation.

Antonio didn't change his face: "He went to get his own design drawings. After all, the house is about to welcome a new architect, and he will bring a new style."

Pretend, you can continue to pretend.Joey pouted in his heart.

Who takes the design drawing and also has the function of moving bricks.

"Miss! Miss Miss Miss!" Ada's startled voice came from the corridor.

Joey's heart suddenly rose again, but at the same time he was subtly relieved - no matter what news he got, it would never be more embarrassing than it is now.

Ada quickly rushed in front of them: "The police found the shepherd's body!"

"Where did you find it? How did you die?" Antonio asked immediately.

Joey gave him a silent look.Dear, the taunt mode needs to last a little longer to be effective.

Ada didn't know what the princess was thinking at the moment, so she panted and said, "On the tree not far from the second time the sheep corpse was found, it looked very hideous. They said that he was punished by God, and there were signs of Satan's flowers on his body." pattern!"

Satan's flower?Joey was immediately confused.

Is this some evil method?Could it be that the dead sheep case was really caused by someone secretly?

"So it is." Antonio blurted out.

Joey got even more frantic.What was it like?What did he understand?

She was full of questions at this time, but she just didn't want to ask Antonio.They are in a cold war!A cold war must look like a cold war.

Fortunately, Antonio seemed to understand the cry in her heart: "Go, go to the scene."

When the two arrived at the foot of the mountain in silence, the shepherd's body had already been removed from the tree, surrounded by a circle of people watching and pointing.The police who just arrived are working hard to disperse the crowd, but it is difficult to match the human nature of watching the excitement.

Joey squeezed into the crowd as soon as he got out of the car, but Antonio immediately walked towards the surrounding policemen.

"If you don't want to die, stop the tram immediately." He found the nearest inspector and said without hesitation.

The inspector was stunned: "What? What you said... Sir, there must be a basis for what you say! And this, this, I can't decide!"

"This requires you to find a way." Antonio said coldly.

"So this is the legendary Satan's flower! It's the first time I've seen it!" Among the crowd around the corpse, someone held his chest in his hands and exclaimed.

An old woman made the cross on her chest: "God's wrath has been appeased. May you also rest in peace."

The crowd gathered here, and two peasant girls passing by with baskets keenly spotted the business opportunity.

"Ribbons—the latest styles! Silk and satin, red, yellow, blue, pink! English and French lace!"

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" came the majestic siren sound from the top of the mountain in the distance, and another tram was about to come down.

Many passers-by woke up when they heard the sound, and hurriedly called their friends and companions to cross the railway tracks—before the tram passed by, the passers-by would block the tracks to prevent pedestrians from crossing.

Because a dead sheep was found in the nearby section of the railway track, a long section was surrounded by railings. Special personnel watched to prevent people from crossing here, and they had to take a detour.If you pass by in a hurry, you can't afford to wait for nearly 10 minutes before and after.

"Manla, let's go! We have to hurry over, or we will be stopped later." One girl selling ribbons urged the other.

Manla was looking for someone else's money, and she didn't raise her head when she heard the words: "You go first, I will catch up with you right away!"

Taking advantage of the gap when the crowd dispersed, Joey squeezed in: "Excuse me! What is Satan's flower—"

She stopped suddenly.

Because she saw "Satan's Flower".

The shepherd's stiff corpse was distorted, still in the posture of hugging the tree trunk.The clothes on his back were broken into scorched black strands as if they had been burnt, and dark red vines stretched out, outlining a vein of blood vessels on the large piece of bare skin, and the red color of a dark Christmas tree. scar.

"The flower of Satan is the flower of lightning - this pattern will appear on people who are struck by lightning. It was reported last year." A kind person explained to her.

A bright flash of lightning suddenly illuminated Joey's mind.

People struck by lightning died from electric shocks.

A person who is electrocuted by a high-voltage electric shock will be burned instantly by the heat generated by the strong current, but if the voltage is not so high, the main injury caused is not electric thermal burns, but the tissue damage and disorder caused by the current passing through the human body itself; People may experience dizziness, convulsions, coma and even shock.

Joey shivered violently: "Stop the tram immediately! Shut down the line!"

Her voice was lost in the noise of the crowd and the sound of stakes.

"Bang bang bang..." The passerby knocked on the stake, "The tram is coming, pedestrians are not allowed to cross the track! The tram is coming..."

Manla, the farm girl who hadn't followed the little sister just now, heard the voice, quickly wrapped the cloth on the basket, lifted her skirt and ran wildly.

The track was not far away, and she could rush across it in a few steps—but the railing was blocked on this section.

The watchman in the distance saw her intention and shouted at her in a rough voice: "Hey! That lady! Don't cross the track!"

When Joey struggled to squeeze out from the crowd, he saw the girl lifting her skirt and nimbly slipping from under the railing onto the track.

Her eyes widened in horror: "Don't! Don't go from there!"

Too late.

"Crack!" Everyone heard it.

An arc flashed, and the girl in the cotton skirt suddenly fell to the track.The basket flipped to one side, and the girl began to twitch wildly like a demon possessed, and then began to foam at the mouth.

"Curse! It's a curse!"

"Satan has appeared!"

"Lord, save us!"

There was a chaotic scream.The people who had crossed the railway tracks just now fled away in horror, and even the passers-by staggered back two steps in fright.

Among the frantically fleeing crowd, only one girl lowered her head and held up her skirt, rushing towards the poor man possessed by the devil.

"stop!"

A hand grabbed Joy, causing her to stagger suddenly.

"Let me go!" Joey couldn't break free with all his strength, and was going crazy.

This is a life!

piercing scream.

The sound of messy piles.

Chaotic footsteps.

The sharp noise from tram brakes and track friction was infinitely amplified in the ears, as if the world was ending.

The railroad tracks flickered coldly, and the girl who fell to the ground was twitching crazily.The huge tram in the distance is approaching rapidly with the shadow of death.

Joey was thrown back so violently by the hand that he almost fell to the ground.The cold wind passed by her quickly, leaving a decisive sentence behind.

"You stay here, I'll take care of it."

The author has something to say: [Party B version]

"Sir, you have been on strike for three days."

"Will she beg me to go back?"

"...No, Miss Party A ordered the workers to cut the pillars, and then took the non-CP detective script instead. The readers have completely forgotten about you."

【Party A version】

"Princess, Mr. Architect has been hanging by you for three days."

"Is he willing to admit his mistake?"

"...No, he took your detective script away."

Thanks to the little angels for Lei Lei and the nutrient solution! (Too luxurious, small and transparent, so touching) Presenting a thick and long chapter~

Regarding the cover, the author lay flat and changed it back.

Notes for this chapter: The voltage of lightning is extremely high, about 1 million to 10 billion volts, but most people who are struck by lightning actually survive.They will leave lightning-like "Lichtenberg patterns" (pictures may cause discomfort, check carefully) - lightning flowers, and there will be sequelae such as cardiac arrest, epilepsy, brain injury, and spinal cord injury.

Suddenly I feel that these chapters are like a big turtle soup hehehe!When the noodle soup came out, someone guessed the core cause of death. There are really a lot of Sherlock Holmes in my cutie!

Now that the soup base has basically been revealed, the cause of death of the sheep that died the first time, the shepherd and the sheep that died the second time are different, so you should be able to guess it~
