MTL - Superman Delta’s Life Diary-Chapter 520
Xingguang Yi's character is the type that anyone will feel comfortable with. Mr. Granger now feels that he is more familiar with Xingguang Yi, so he made a little joke, but he really thinks Xingguang Yi is very comfortable. The name is weird.
"It's Xingguang Yi, one is behind starlight." Xingguang Yi shrugged helplessly, but he wasn't angry, with a smile on his face, "It's still the same, right?"
"Well, it's still the same, two cups of coffee, one black tea, three frosted doughnuts, but give me some sugar packets and milk packets." Mr. Granger said.
This made Xingguangyi a little surprised. Usually, Mr. Granger's coffee and black tea do not require sugar, but he didn't expect to ask for it today, and he asked for a lot more.
"It's really rare, what special arrangements do you have today?" Xingguang asked while serving the meal.
"Ha, my daughter is going to school today. It's better to drink something sweet in the morning to cheer up." Mr. Granger was no longer standing so rigidly, he leaned one arm on the counter and said relaxedly , "Looking at Xingguang, you should still be in school at your age. By the way, you haven't met my daughter yet, so maybe you will have something in common."
In addition to being handsome and cute, and having a cheerful and sunny temperament, Xingguangyi also has an inexplicable affinity, which can make him get acquainted with others very quickly.
Just like Mr. Granger now, he felt that he was very familiar with the big boy with the strange name.
"School starts..." Hearing Mr. Granger's words, Xingguang remembered that today is August 31st, and the schools will start soon.
"Haha, I'm a lot older than I look. I'm in college now." Starlight said to Mr. Granger.
"Really?" Mr. Granger asked suspiciously, after all, Xingguangyi's face is too confusing.
"Really, now, Mr. Granger, your meal is ready, thank you for your patronage."
As soon as Xingguang packed the meal that Mr. Granger ordered, he threw a lot of sugar packets and milk packets into it, and then handed the bag to Mr. Granger.
Mr. Granger paid the money and left. Before leaving, he made an appointment with Xingguang to visit his house.
After leaving the store, Mr. Granger got into his car, and there were two other people sitting in the car, one was Mr. Granger's wife and the other was Mr. Granger's daughter.
Mr. Granger's daughter was very beautiful, with long, blond, slightly curly hair that closely followed Mr. Granger's, but the proportion of brown was more than that of blond.
Mr. Granger handed a cup of coffee and a donut to his daughter, and at the same time asked, "Did you see the clerk? The one named Xingguang I told you."
Unexpectedly, my daughter said absently, "I didn't see it."
Seeing his daughter like this, Mr. Granger was a little worried.
Originally, my daughter went to watch the game with her classmates. At first, she planned to stay at her classmates' house after watching the game, and then go to school with her classmates, but unexpectedly, on the 26th, her daughter ran in a hurry. came back.
If it didn't show what happened to his daughter, Mr. Granger would have lived in vain for more than forty years.
Mr. Granger wanted to ask his daughter what was going on, but if she didn't tell him, he had no choice but to give up.
This state of his daughter has continued until now. Mr. Granger was afraid that there would be another accident in his daughter's state, so he took his daughter here.
Because when chatting with Xingguang before, Mr. Granger always felt very comfortable physically and mentally, and more than once or twice, so he wanted to take his daughter to pass here, just to have a "talk therapy".
But after thinking about it, my daughter has no plans to get off the bus at all.
"Okay, then we'll go. You drink coffee slowly and be careful of burning your mouth."
After speaking, Mr. Granger started the vehicle and drove away.
In the store, Xingguangyi continued to work, whether it was the female customer or Mr. Granger, Xingguangyi didn't particularly care, because he was just a passerby after all.
When there was no next customer for a while, Xingguang took time to rest for a while. He left the counter and came to a dining table. He directly picked up the newspaper left by the customer on the table, then found a place to sit down and started Look for news that interests you in the newspapers.
Chapter 779 The train journey of 1994, targeting the village of Little Hangleton
It wasn't Xingguang's sudden intention to come over and get this newspaper. Just when he was still working, he heard the guests at this table talking about some strange things that happened recently.
Although Xingguang has been working before, but because of his usual daily habits, he has been able to focus on other things when he is doing one thing.
For example, in the past, he could watch videos on his mobile phone while playing on the computer, and at the same time he could free up his hands and slap a Dilu beast.
Just when he was working, he heard the guests at this table chatting.
This is also thanks to the nature of the store where he works. This store is not the kind of high-end restaurant, and the customers are silent one or two during the meal.
On the contrary, this is a daily-style shop in a street corner. Basically, the people who come here are regular customers or people who live around. Naturally, there are not so many constraints when eating, and people who know them naturally sit together. Start talking about various things.
One of the guests sitting next to the table was reading the newspaper when he suddenly marveled at a murder case, and the people next to him echoed it.
What caught Xingguang's attention was that this murder was very strange. No cause of death could be found in the deceased, as if the soul had been taken away.
Afterwards, these two idlers also talked about curses, family history, a certain unsolved case in the past, and some weird people and strange things they encountered during this period of time. These things they talked about were all heard by Xingguang Yi. inside the ear.
Xingguang, who has experienced so many things, will not let go of any strange details, nor will he show the "are you awake" attitude of the members of the mountain.
After all, the world of double ponytails has almost been traversed into a sieve, and anything that feels impossible will happen.
Not to mention that he was thrown into this world by some unscrupulous old man for some kind of deliberate reason, and he could not let go of any special clues and stars. Maybe this is the key information to clear the test arranged by Uncle Deng.
Right now, Xingguang Yi was flipping through the newspaper. This newspaper was nothing special. It was a local newspaper issued by a small and medium-sized local newspaper. In addition to current affairs, it is basically gossip about trivial matters, and there is no third edition girl.
Of course, this newspaper was written by Quan Yingwen. Fortunately, Xingguang Yi was the one who traveled here to complete the test. If the guy Xia Luzhen came over, he would have to die here.
While flipping through this newspaper, Xingguang successfully found the murder case the two customers were talking about in a corner.
At this time, he discovered that the two customers were talking for a long time, and they were even more reliable than the description in this newspaper. The description of this murder case in this newspaper was already a bit mysterious. What kind of wizard spell magic? etc. came.
In addition, what makes Xingguangyi feel a little strange is that according to the newspaper, the deceased has not found any cause of death, and he is already in his 80s and 90s. Why does this situation make the police so sure that it was murder instead of murder? natural death.
But strange things are a good thing for Xingguang Yi, indicating that there is something in it.
Although this report is in an inconspicuous corner, it is quite comprehensive and has some key information. For example, the murder took place in a village called Little Hangleton.
As soon as Xingguang paid attention to his surroundings and made sure that there was no one else, he took out his mobile phone. He had already connected to the world's network before.
1994 happened to be a node. From this year onwards, the Internet was officially commercialized on a large scale, and only then did Xingguang Yi have a network to connect to.
In this era, for Xingguang Yi, network defense is basically equal to no one, but in the same way, the speed of information transmission and the amount of information on the Internet are far from reaching the level of the explosion in the future, but as long as there is a good thing, it is better than nothing.
Xingguangyi found a more detailed map from the Internet and checked the location of the village called Little Hangleton.
The village is north and west of London City, about two hundred miles away from London City, or about three hundred kilometers after conversion.
"If you go now, according to the traffic speed of this era, if you make a round trip, you won't have to do business at noon and afternoon today."
As soon as Xingguang looked at the map, he squeezed his chin with one hand and muttered softly.
However, even if he doesn't do business in the afternoon, he has nothing to do. He said earlier that the old lady of the shop owner was injured and had already gone home to recuperate. This shop was said to be managed by Xingguang by himself.
The old lady of the shop owner also had a big heart, so she handed over the shop directly to a stranger like Xingguangyi.
Of course, this is just Xingguangyi's idea, and he is also very happy to be trusted by others.
It's just that the old man rushed back too quickly, and Xingguang Yi didn't have time to help the old man treat his injuries.
In fact, this old man didn't completely throw the shop to Xingguangyi and then didn't care about anything. Her shop has been open on this street for decades, and her old neighbors are all around.
If Xingguang Yi does anything out of the ordinary, the people around him will restrict Xingguang Yi, and the old man will soon find out.
"Hello, is there anyone?"
At this time, another person walked into the store and asked.
"Yes, please wait."
As soon as Xingguang put down the newspaper, he picked up the plates and cups left by the guests on the table.
After serving this customer and sending him away, Xingguang took care of the inside of the store, closed everything that should be closed, and then closed the door of the store.
Just as Xingguang closed the door of the store and was about to leave, a middle-aged woman in the next store shouted to Xingguang, "Xiao Xing, did you close the store so early?"
"Well, I have to go out for some things. Maybe I can only come back this afternoon and evening. If there is any delay in the middle, it is estimated that I will not be able to come back until tomorrow."
Xingguang nodded to the middle-aged woman, and then said.
After that, Xing Guangyi took the bus to King's Cross Station.
Probably because it was the last day of the holiday and there were quite a few vehicles parked outside the station.
Entering King's Cross Station, Xingguang first looked up at the glass dome above. He secretly took out his mobile phone and took a few pictures of the inside of King's Cross Station. After all, this was King's Cross Station in 1994.
For Xing Guangyi, who came from another world in 2021, this can be regarded as a superb view.
If nothing else, many of the trains currently parked in the lane will be retired in the near future.
"Ah, it's not good that we can't delay any longer."
Xingguangyi suddenly remembered that he was going to do business, so he took out the ticket he just bought and looked at the platform number above to find the train he was going to take.
"Huh? Starlight One?"
At this time, a voice suddenly stopped Xingguang, and Xingguang turned to look at the Granger couple.
Xingguangyi has not only seen Mr. Granger, but also Mrs. Granger, but has never seen the daughter of the Grangers.
As soon as Xingguang walked over, he greeted the two men, and after saying hello, explained, "I have some things to go out for."
"Oh, what platform are you going to? I'm familiar with this place. I'll take you there." Mr. Granger said enthusiastically.
"Thanks a lot, but don't bother. Mr. Granger, don't you want to send your daughter to school?" Starlight thanked Mr. Granger and then politely declined.
"It's okay, my daughter has already got on the train, and we and the couple were about to leave, and then we saw you." Mr. Granger said.
"Okay, please." Xingguang nodded in agreement.
With the help of Mr. Granger, he found the platform he was going to and boarded the train. During this process, Mr. Granger did not ask too much about what he was going to do, and kept the most basic etiquette. .
As soon as Xingguang got on the train, the Grangers hadn't left, and they didn't have anything to leave in a hurry, so they stopped and watched the train, making it as if Xingguang was their couple's child.
Mrs. Granger said, "Unfortunately, if this child, Xingguang, had come earlier, he might have been able to meet Hermione."
"Yeah, but you also know that our little princess is impatient, and when I sent my daughter in, I was thinking, would it be too impulsive for my daughter to meet Xingguang. After all, Xingguang is just an ordinary person. , it's better not to let the starlight touch the world where her daughter lives," Mr. Granger said.
"But Xingguangyi's child has already been in contact with us, and has already had an intersection with that world. And I still want my daughter to have more ordinary friends. Now every time my daughter comes home from vacation, she can clearly feel that she has a relationship with ordinary people. We're separated." Madam Granger said worriedly, holding her husband's wrist.
During the holidays, Hermione was reluctant to go out, and her meetings with former friends were also reduced. When the family had dinner together, Hermione said all things related to magic. In Mrs. Granger's opinion, her daughter was a little obsessed. .
Just as the Grangers were chatting in a low voice, the train slowly started.
While the speed of the car was still very slow, Xingguang stretched out the car window and waved to the Grangers, then returned to his seat, took out a few newspapers he had bought on the way, and looked at them one by one. .
There is no "Sun" in these newspapers, that is, the newspaper with three editions of Nude Girls.
The main reason is that the Sun newspapers are too popular. In addition, King's Cross Station is a place with a lot of traffic. Many people will buy a newspaper for entertainment before getting on the train. After all, this is not the era of a smartphone.
For this reason, the Sun newspapers in the newsstand next to the station are out of stock.
When Xingguang flipped through these newspapers, they didn't report many special events. Most of them focused on current affairs and entertainment gossip. There were also a small number of reports on recent civil events. Among them, two newspapers mentioned small incidents. The case of Hangleton Village, but these two newspapers only briefly described it, and did not even give a characterization of the matter. As for the curse of the past, they only briefly mentioned it.
In addition, there are two things that make Xingguang one more interested, one is that there is an aurora in a certain place, and the other is that a strange thief who has been particularly popular in London recently appeared again.
"Phantom Thief?" Xingguang muttered softly as soon as he looked at the newspaper.
Because of the stereotype, he always felt that London was full of detectives, gangsters, murderers, and Scotland Yard officers serving as backdrops.
Of course, also because of the stereotype, Xingguangyi feels that these characters are more in the neon country.
After reading the newspaper, Xingguang folded the newspaper again and placed it on the small table, then held his chin and looked at the scenery outside.
The speed of trains in this era is not as fast as the trains of 2021, and without mobile phones, this journey can only be exhausted.
Xingguang felt a little tired after looking at the scenery for a while. He secretly opened a hole in the laboratory space, and Otto went in and searched to see if there were any recreational things that were not obtrusive in this era.
It is a pity that there are no, let alone books, not even slightly ordinary toys, but all kinds of game consoles are readily available.
At this time, a woman sitting across from Xingguang spoke up.
"Hello sir, if you don't read these newspapers, can you lend me a look."
As soon as Xingguang raised his head and looked at the opposite side, his previous attention was on the newspaper. He was aware of the people sitting opposite him, but he did not expect that it was three girls.
The three girls all wore wide sunglasses and a wide-brimmed women's hat, so they couldn't see their faces clearly.
The girl who was talking to Xingguangyi had short dark blue hair, the girl sitting on her left had long brown hair, and the girl sitting on her right had long black curly hair.
"Oh, it's easy, I've finished reading it anyway, and I don't need it anymore."
As soon as Xingguang said something, he continued to hold his chin and looked out the window, wondering where his mind wandered.
"Ha, phantom thief." The long brown-haired girl glanced at the newspaper in the hands of the short-haired blue girl, and couldn't help but snorted.
After humming, she realized that she had made a blunder, and quickly shut her mouth.
But Xingguang didn't pay attention to what the brown long-haired girl said, just thought it was a very common sentence.
Xingguangyi and the three girls only said a word, and then the two sides were quiet again, and no one took the lead to talk to the other side.
When he heard the station announcement, Xingguang came back to his senses, got up and got out of the car, and didn't say hello to the three people, after all, everyone met by chance.
When he got off the train, Xingguang turned his head to look at the train, but found that the three people were looking at him through the window.
However, those three people were wearing sunglasses, so they couldn't be 100% sure that those three people were looking this way, so Xingguangyi thought he was too sensitive.
He didn't think too much, and left the station. This is not the destination of Little Hangleton Village, but a larger town nearby. Xingguang Yi has to take a car to Little Hangleton Village.
