Daily Life of the Canary Pet Master - Chapter 75
It was another long day of being imprisoned and unable to move. 036 looked at the ceiling and began to let go of his thoughts.
He doesn’t like the dark night very much, although he has never seen the real night, because the laboratory lights up day and night all year round, he only knows that at night, the researchers chatting next to him will go home. Apart from him, there are only three or two people on duty in the entire laboratory, but they have their own places to stay and will not appear here.
In the boundless silence, he could only listen to his own heartbeat, count the numbers, or recall every word those people said in his ears during the day from beginning to end. Apart from this, he has nothing else to do.
“11698, 11699, 11700…” He raised the difficulty a bit this time, counting from 10,000, each number is very long to read silently, it is most suitable to accompany him through the long night of continuous pain.
“…11701.”
“Stop making trouble, it made me drool all over my face.” An inexplicable voice sounded suddenly.
Bang bang… bang bang… bang bang…
The beating of the heart seemed to be on another identical frequency.
036 was startled, he raised his head hard, trying to figure out who was talking to him, but he still could only glimpse a small part of the room, no one appeared there, and this was not the laboratory he was familiar with any one’s voice.
When he was in doubt, the voice sounded again, with a little smile, it was a tone he had never felt before and could not describe.
“Aren’t you going to bed yet? It’s already late.”
036 opened his mouth, but did not make any sound. This sudden sound seemed to spread from the bottom of his heart to the eardrum, not like it came from the outside world.
Who is talking? Is it a new experiment they came up with? What do you want to test him for?
“You… who are you?” He asked silently in his heart, waiting for him to respond to himself, just like he would have fantasized about a sudden miracle that could not be realized a long time ago.
Sure enough, the voice didn’t answer him, but it didn’t disappear either, but continued to ring softly.
“You need to be hugged to fall asleep? How old are you and you still act like a baby, why don’t you ask me to tell you a bedtime story?”
“Okay, okay, let me tell you. What other children have owned, my children should also have. What story do you want to hear? Tell you about Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs?”
“Once upon a time, there was a queen who was sitting by a window in the palace, sewing for her soon-to-be-born daughter. There were many snowflakes on the ebony window-sill, and she accidentally pricked her finger, and blood flowed from the needle. The snow fell on the window sill. The queen saw this and said, “I wish my daughter was as white as snow…”
036 listened quietly, immersed in this never-before-heard story. At the end of the story, the prince and princess lived happily together. 036 didn’t know why, but his eyes were red because of such an ending, as if he was touched by the love and happiness he had never felt before in the story.
Is this a bedtime story? He had heard a researcher complain to his colleagues before that his son was always noisy, and he had to listen to his stories for a long time before falling asleep. He told those stories over and over again, and he got tired of them, but his son never got tired of listening to them.
Such a beautiful story, if it was him, he would also like to hear it every night.
That voice finished its story and stopped ringing. Everything returned to silence again, which seemed even more unbearable than the silence he was used to just now.
He was silent for a long time, feeling inexplicably sad. He obviously has a good memory, but at this moment, he has forgotten where he just counted. He wants to count back, but his mind is full of only the forest with lush trees, and the princess whose skin is whiter than snow will be killed by the princess. Birds, white rabbits and deer attracted by the singing of the bird, he was completely unable to think about other things.
He couldn’t help saying another sentence in his heart, “Hi, are you the God they say? Can you tell me another story?”
Before, they always said to pray to God when they wanted something in particular, so he knew that these two words represented a certain **** who might grant your wish.
He used to pray too. At the beginning, he prayed that he could end this kind of life, and that he could see the outside world one day. Later, he prayed that the rich people who came to replace their organs would not aim at the heart, and prayed for the peace between the two operations. The gap can be longer.
And now, he just prays for one more bedtime story.
God, as always, did not respond.
He thought that he should learn to be satisfied. Hearing a story that he had never heard before today was already something worth recalling for a long time.
The next day, in the dead of night again, 036 was listening to his own heartbeat, when suddenly, another person’s heartbeat sounded, and then slowly overlapped with his own.
In the next second, that gentle male voice sounded from the bottom of his heart.
He didn’t speak, he was just laughing, his laughter was light and loud, as if hitting his chest, every sound made people dizzy.
“I didn’t laugh at you, I just thought you were cute.” He smiled slightly again, “There is no one in this world who is omnipotent, and you, the Yu-Gi-Oh! normal.”
Who is God talking to? Is this person his most beloved one who can hear such a beautiful voice talking in his ears every day.
“How about I practice with you again? If you play this kind of game again next time, you can torture them severely.” He stopped laughing, but there was still a smile in his voice.
“What’s the matter? Why don’t you want to practice with me.” He pretended to be depressed.
In fact, this was just a usual joke, but 036 seemed to become depressed as well, thinking silently in his heart: “Yes, hurry up and practice with him, otherwise he will be unhappy.”
“Didn’t I tell you that I only think you are cute?”
He began to guess again, who was God talking to, and he really wanted to hear the voice of another person.
“Maybe a lovely angel? They say God is always with angels.”
The voice suddenly paused, a little longer than normal, and then it didn’t sound again for a long time.
Is today’s benefits over? It seems to be earlier than yesterday.
“Thought I could hear another bedtime story.”
He had just finished reading this sentence when he heard the voice sound again.
“Then I’ll hang up, you have a good rest, don’t rehearse too late. Well, good night.”
After God finished speaking, he seemed to be saying goodbye to his loved ones. Then he was silent for a while, and suddenly asked, “Just now…was someone talking?”
036 was stunned for a moment, not realizing that this sentence seemed to be clearer than what he had heard before.
“Hello?” The voice was a little clearer.
A kind of overwhelming surprise poured down from Tianling Gai, and 036 was dazed for a while, took several deep breaths, and then tried to respond silently from the bottom of his heart: “You… how are you?”
“Who are you?”
“Me?” 036 began to tremble all over, “I am 036, are you God?”
Only God can hear the unspoken words in people’s hearts.
…
This number was unusually familiar, and Ou Renjin squeezed the phone tightly, wondering for a moment whether this was an illusion created by his heartache after hearing Ou Shaowen’s story, and always brainstorming about his past experiences over and over again.
“I’m not God, my name is Ou Renjin.” In a state of confusion, he pressed the recording button on his phone, as if hoping to record something.
“So God also has a name?” This was clearly Ou Shaowen’s voice. Although there was a slight difference in tone, he couldn’t hear it wrong.
He looked down at the recording interface. When the voice in his mind spoke, the ripples that did not represent decibels lit up.
“Are you… are you in the laboratory now?” In an instant, all the words Ou Shaowen had said to him came to mind, Ou Renjin clenched his fists, feeling the pain and pity for the anger that had not been appeased before, and it was like a sea wave again surged up.
“That’s right.” 036 replied briskly, feeling that he had indeed received God’s mercy, and God knew everything.
Ou Renjin frowned, and his chest was depressed again. He held his chest, and suddenly felt that his heart, which hadn’t been hurt for a long time, began to ache.
“…Are you still there?” After not hearing him speak for a long time, 036 tried to ask.
Ou Renjin opened his mouth, but in the end he just said “still”.
“Are you here to fulfill my wish?”
“Then you…” Ou Renjin’s voice was hoarse, “What wish do you want to realize?”
“I want to hear you tell another bedtime story, the same one you told yesterday.”
“Okay.” Ou Renjin agreed to his request, but his mind was blank, unable to think of anything, “Today I will tell you the story of the mermaid.”
He searched out the story of the mermaid on his mobile phone, and read it sentence by sentence.
“In the deep, deep seabed, there is a majestic castle, in which live six mermaid princesses, they are all very beautiful, especially the youngest princess, she has long golden hair, and she likes to listen to her sisters talking a lot. There are new things on the sea, thinking that one day I can go to the sea to see by myself…”
After reading the last sentence, he realized that he had finished telling the story.
036 was silent for too long, Ou Renjin realized something, and suddenly felt that she should not choose such a tragedy.
“That’s great.” 036 sighed, “I also want to see the world outside the laboratory. It would be great if there is a witch who can exchange things here. I can also use my legs to exchange things.”
Ou Renjin couldn’t hold back his breath, “You will get out of there, I promise.”
“Really?” 036 originally didn’t intend to let God realize his wish. People can’t be too greedy, as long as one wish comes true.
“Really, you will leave the laboratory, come to a completely different world, meet someone you are destined to meet, and live a wonderful life that you can’t imagine at this time.”
