[Comprehensive] Uncle Ba's food paradise

After 10 minutes, Alice finally received a call and learned that something happened to the neighbor, and grandpa is currently cooperating with the police investigation.As soon as she heard this, she became anxious, and quickly asked Clark to send her back.

They landed nearby and hurried towards home, on the way Clark had already collected information with his super hearing.

"Looks like the professor found the woman imprisoned by the neighbors, and they're looking for your new neighbors—ah."

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Alice asked anxiously.

Clark's expression was serious: "They found him in the nearby river and suspected that he slipped and fell into it while escaping."

Clark saw several police officers talking and walked up to them to ask about the situation.Of course they can't tell the truth, even if they tell the police, they won't believe it. We were in Antarctica just now, and we heard that something happened, did we fly over?Oh, I'm afraid I want to go to the police station too.So they can only say that they were going to play elsewhere and came back after receiving the call.

Afterwards, the police investigated according to the due process, and soon Clark learned about the cause and effect through the conversation with the police. What's more, he was shocked to find that the police mistook him and Alice nearby, found and saw the fugitive neighbor, chased and beat him, and as a result The accident caused the other party to drown before he fled in a panic.

But obviously there is not enough evidence for this, and the person who died was a criminal who kidnapped a woman, and the police had no intention of investigating the cause of his death. After learning the confession of the kidnapped woman, they sealed up the neighbor's house to see if there were any traces of other victims. up.

They didn't ask Clark and Alice any more to confirm their guesses; they didn't waste any more time asking Hannibal, they thought the first discoverer didn't know much.

A strange feeling filled Clark's mind. He couldn't explain why, but there was a terrible intuition telling him that something didn't seem right.

When Alice anxiously asked about Hannibal's story, and listened to the professor's clear and orderly narration, the sense of weirdness was even stronger.

"Alice, what did you tell me to see?"

"that is--"

"My home in the city has a very good environment. In fact, it's not convenient for you today. You can go there at other times. I can take you there at any time."

Clark interrupted Alice to explain.

Alice was a little puzzled, but didn't delve into the matter.After all, it was Clark's small castle. If Clark changed his mind and didn't want to take grandpa there, she had nothing to do, at most she felt a little regretful.

"So many things have happened, you'd better take a rest."

Hannibal agreed, and then asked Clark if he would stay for dinner. Clark said regretfully that he would go back to his parents' place today, so the two sides parted.

After seeing the Kent couple at home and seeing their joyful expressions, Clark finally understood where the violation was.

heartbeat.

In fact, he didn't monitor the professor anymore. After all, that would be too impolite, and the professor has his own private life.

But he was worried that something unexpected would happen and he would not be able to make it in time, so he kept monitoring the professor's heartbeat.Yes, it would be easy for him to filter out the other voices and focus on just one.

The advantage is that he doesn't need to be distracted by the noise, and can ensure the safety of the people he cares about; the disadvantage is that if he doesn't listen attentively, he can't filter out other sounds around him.Zooming in from 'just hearing the heartbeat' to hearing the sounds around the person, this adjustment will be quite laborious, requiring re-locking of the person's position.

The professor's heartbeat has not changed from the beginning to the end, and it has always been as calm and reassuring as ever.This used to be something that reassured him, but now it made him feel uneasy.

The whole incident was full of ups and downs, but it didn't make the professor's heart beat faster, as if it was a very normal thing.

And the kidnapper who drowned in the river seemed to have some incomprehensible parts, which made the police suspect that the kidnapper's death was caused by his "beating" and chasing.

But soon he dismissed his doubts, because 'there is no reason to do so'.

Yes, that's a kidnapper, just call the police and arrest him, so what reason is there to do such a troublesome thing as drowning the other party in the river?To put it bluntly, even if you accidentally killed the other party during the struggle, it can be regarded as self-defense, and there is really no reason to do such a troublesome thing.His suspicions were completely illogical.

As for Clark being suspected by the police, it was entirely because he himself was too suspicious and suddenly appeared nearby with Alice, and no one else knew that they had flown from Antarctica.

Thinking of this, Clark breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that he had thought too much, and felt a little embarrassed.Then he began to worry about gains and losses again. The advantage of moving to the city is that it is close to the school and it is easy to start a career. The disadvantage is that he cannot reach out to the area where he lives in a timely manner.If Professor Hopkins had encountered this, if he had been here, it shouldn’t have happened. He would have heard the woman’s weak breathing, and he would have noticed the problem and called the police to catch the prisoner. There is no need for the professor to experience such danger.

Reminiscent of his parents living in a more remote country, if the last typhoon happened again, would he still have time to save people?No matter how fast, he is not an omnipotent god, he also has a speed limit there.If you are too far away from your parents, if you encounter disasters or bad people, will you be too late?

He shared his concerns with his parents, making the Kents laugh.

Mrs. Kent said: "Oh dear, we've done very well without you, we're not babies, and accidents like Professor Hopkins's are rare, especially in places like ours. Just like a lottery, once in hundreds of years, it is not easy to win the lottery again."

"But--"

Mr. Kent interrupted him: "Don't worry about us, you should worry about yourself. Listen, boy, this incident is telling you that you are not omnipotent. Even if you have magical abilities, you are all alone. , is not an omnipotent god. So be more careful and cherish your life and the friends around you now. I understand that you want to help us and love us, but there are always some things that we need to deal with by ourselves, and you can't do it for us Life."

Clark was silent. He knew his father was right, but he was still unwilling to accept it psychologically.

"Look at you, you are still a clingy kid, how can you grow up and be independent!"

"I didn't, no!"

Mr. Kent laughed: "Well, well, you are not. Your feeling of worrying about not wanting to leave us is not loneliness, if you say no, you are not."

Clark was a little shy when he heard it, because he was indeed a little lonely.

Yes, it turns out that my uneasy feeling is that I don’t want to leave my family and friends, and it turns out that I am lonely.
