  Sheilor’s knives

  …………

  …………

  In the same night, in the darkness, finished the full set of the movements, the same became worn out Sheilor went into the bathroom once again, after had a cold water bath, his spirit seemed to become much better. Took out that sharp knife from the hollowed tile behind the mirror, began to face the mirror and shaved the eyebrows seriously, one hair by one hair, all trimmed very meticulously, at last he put on some Living Spring brand toner on between the eyebrows, looked at that face in the mirror, then nodded his head with satisfaction.

  Sheilor didn’t have the habit of narcissism, and also didn’t have the thought to make his this ordinary face handsome, even he had, he still wouldn’t possibly choose to do this kind of job in the wee hours, unless he had the mental disorder-- The advertisement in the channel 23 said this kind of toner could contract the pore, so he kept using it in these two months.

  Looked at himself up and down in the mirror for a long time, confirmed that those pores between the eyebrows had been subtle to be seen, if he didn’t use the magnifying glass to see, he absolutely couldn’t tell that the smooth skin should have the eyebrows originally.

  The most characteristic place of this ordinary face was this pair of eyebrows, when he was in the mine tunnel, Fengyu had already said that his eyebrows was like knife, too straight, too upright… The purpose of trimming the eyebrows was not to make his face meek a bit, but to change his own face by changing the space between the eyebrows. After all, he didn’t dare to expose his real identity, although the East Forest and West Forest all were extremely far away from the Capital Planet Circle, but who would know the things in the world so certainly? Perhaps sometime in the future, somebody seen Sheilor before would come to the Pear Garden University…

  Sheilor’s eyebrows were black such like the ink originally, and the middle was connected together, it looked like a sharp and overwhelming machete, he kept trimming the eyebrows in these two months, just wanted to cut off this pair of straight eyebrows from the middle… The effect was quite good, at least that face in the mirror, really had some differences from the original appearance, although the difference was not too obvious.

  If Sheilor’s eyebrows were like a machete before, then now his eyebrows were still that straight, that simply black, but they had already changed into two small knives, pointed to the sideburns.

  …………

  Tonight sleepless, Sheilor sat in the darkness and stared at the locked iron gate, about instinct this thing, actually it was just the sensitive judgment caused by countless subtle changes, or even a kind of subconscious judgment. Sheilor was a people good in observing the things, at the beginning, Fengyu had admired his this advantage so much, so he trusted in his own instinct, the principal’s suddenly coming and leaving silently, and the west gate was suddenly opened again a few days ago, the backdoor of the campus was absolute quiet at this time, all of these represented something. He smelled the flavor of the danger, just like in the green grassland over the other side of the electric fence, seemed to have a lot of beasts hidden in the grass, but to his anxiety, he couldn’t have any way to find out where these dangers came from.

  His fingers stroked gently on the metal handle in his palm, Sheilor narrowed his eyes slightly, knew that once he pushed that movable button, the front end of this looked like a data memory little tool would eject the very strong current, when the stored current was run out, it still could pop up the sharp dagger. Had an edge tool like this to protect himself, his mood got stable a bit, but once he thought of that those arrogant people pulled the guns in public in front of the nightclub gate, his heart became not so stable again.

  In those days, he made two electric shock sticks in Fengyu’s guidance, besides he gave one to Levi, caused all the follow-up happenings indirectly, he still had one more by his side to protect himself all the time, once he used it to shock the buffalo fainted, shocked the police chief misted, that one was called “Handle” intimately by him. When he left the West River state, “Handle” was burnt in that incinerator with the chip. Now this one in his hand, was just made again one month ago, the classes he audited still didn’t have the experiment classes yet, but to look for the adequate materials was not a difficult thing in the campus, after ordered some special components on the net, Sheilor made this thing out again, finally gave it a name, it’s called, “Knife”.

  The long night, one minute one second went by just in Sheilor’s anxious waiting. The horizon was getting bright gradually, those two light moon shadows over the sky of the S1 planet also disappeared on the horizon one by one, a kind of grey white began to cover the sky. The air was full with the fresh and cool flavor, the morning breeze swayed around the Pear Garden, but blew those light fog closer and closer, and thicker and thicker. Although it’s the early morning, but it’s the primary morning, the people in the campus were still in sleeping, but the sung for a whole night in the grass insects felt tired, stopped their life singing in succession, and it’s all quiet around.

  Sheilor also felt tired, he had a self-mockery smile, thought in his heart that he still didn’t have the fugitive experience like uncle that abundant, the random foolish thinking would make himself nervous for a night, if he kept boiling himself like this, it’s afraid that he didn’t need the federal government to come to arrest him, he would be dead because of exhaustion.

  He opened the window, let the breeze blow in from the outside, and then was ready to turn on the light, went back to the bed to have a sleep. But just right at that moment when his finger was going to touch the switch, he heard the strange sound.

  At the deserted backdoor of the Pear Garden University, the iron gate’s electronic switch gave out a “Dee” light sound, and then opened slowly in the thin morning fog.

  Sheilor watched this scene surprised, his palm clenched the “Knife”, the iron gate was opened in the situation without his knowing, only explained that the having higher authority people in the university, in the situation without his knowing, input the command. If he was still sleeping at this time, might not hear that light sound, in this way, no matter who would be coming in from outside of the campus in a moment, he wouldn’t know about it.

  At this moment, although he was stunned, but he also put down the worry in his heart, he believed that the upcoming strange guest surely not came to look for his trouble, because no matter what time, nobody would trace and arrest people with this kind of aboveboard way, and opening the school gate and arresting him seemed to have no any relation as well.

  Just this scene looked really somewhat strange, in the mist, the iron gate opened slowly, but there was not a single figure around, it looked like the horror scene often seen in the movie.

  An all black car drove from the mist quickly, moved forward to the Pear Garden University along the road outside of the school, just from the dispersed deformation white mist, could know how fast the speed of this car. But even in this kind of speed, this black car still didn’t make any noise, looked like a now appearing now disappearing ghost.

  Speaking of wonderful, when Sheilor saw this black car, he felt the danger flavor seemed to be lighter a lot around, the strong curiosity let him walk to the window, watched this scene in the dark, didn’t know why this looked very normal, even didn’t have any sign car, would travel so fluent and natural, even… Gave people a kind of lively feeling.

  Suddenly, Sheilor found a figure appeared in the mist in the campus didn’t know since when, that was a wearing glasses female student, wearing a set of floral pajamas, holding a book, walking drowsily on the road of the Pear Garden university. There was some distance from here to the apartment block, especially it’s very deserted here lately, but still would have some students come to here to have the morning reading, seeking the beautiful scene of the pear garden, but the morning reading students seldom would get up this early.

  Sheilor gave up to consider why t
hat female student would show up here suddenly at this time, because he found out, the silhouette of that even eyes not opened totally female student couldn’t be seen clearly in the mist, and that traveling from outside of the school black car seemed to have not seen her as well, still kept the high speed driving… If there was no any accident happened, perhaps a few seconds later, that poor female student would be hit flying to the sky to watch the scene of the pear garden by that weird black car.

  Too late to shout, because the people in the car wouldn’t hear at all, and Sheilor always felt that the other party wouldn’t slow down even they could hear, as for that full of drowsiness misted female student, Sheilor also didn’t have the extravagant hopes that he could wake her up. So he just jumped out of the window directly, rushed at that female student with the fastest speed, even was faster than he had the race with the buffalo in those days, and brought that female student down on the grass by the roadside directly!

  Just right at the moment when they two people fell on the ground, that like a ghost black car drove by their side with the high speed, didn’t slow down, didn’t stop the car, even nobody watched the episode happened over here, just brought up a few leaves from the ground, and disappeared in the mist in the campus.

  Just right at the moment when Sheilor rushed out, he suddenly felt countless eyes looked at him, but with the coming up scene, those eyes disappeared at the same time. But the youngster’s mood was somewhat angry at this moment, was angry at that ignored people’s life or death car, so he didn’t care about this odd feeling at all. He stared at the back of that black car angrily, and scolded a few words in low voice.

  Charming endured the pain on the knees, struggled to stand up from that young man’s arms, the corner of her eyes took a look along the direction where that black car disappeared, arose the incomparable disappointment and anger in her heart. The senator arranged her to come back to the Pear Garden University, just in order to have the contact with that man, in order to obtain the intelligence which that man would come into the backdoor of the university in today’s morning, how many efforts the S2 people had already paid for? She also understood, this kind of crash run into way was really too risky, but she also had to do it… the thing was developing in accordance with the plan in a moment, but it’s interrupted by an accident at last!

  But when she turned around to look at that accident, accidentally saw a familiar face, especially the sincere concern revealed on that face and the pure-heartedness shown in the eyes, let her remembered who the other party was in a flash… That people who shared the puppy biscuits with her. Charming looked at Sheilor’s in the eyes stunned, felt the other party’s eyes stared in her eyes just like two knives, she was a bit confused unexpectedly, and even forgot her most important mission.

  Sheilor was also dumbfounded at this time, he found that the girl in his arms, who was wearing the black frame glasses, was exactly he met on the greyhound bus, that pure clean girl he saw at the school opens. The touching sense of his hand was very soft, he then found that he was still hugging her waist and hip, a stream of spring breath blew on the face, and he immediately became a rigid East Forest country stone.

  When the pair of young man and woman became the statue, that black car had already driven through the mist. On the backseat of the car, an about seventeen or eighteen years old young man opened his somewhat tired eyes, turned his head around and took a look subconsciously.

  A steward-look man by his side said with incomparable respect and cautiousness, “please childe rests assured, although the family still can’t send the people out, but the Secret Service sent twelve agents out initiatively, surely can guarantee the safety when you are studying in this place.”

  “Uncle Ken, please call my name, Charlie Tai.” The young man said sincerely. He suddenly had a wry smile, “I always feel that somebody was staring at me just now, the staring is so fierce, just like two small knives, it looks like that our family is really detested in the Federation.”
