48 Hours a Day

Behind the hills full of grass are trees.

There was a wooden hut in the woods, surrounded by natural scenery, and a stream flowing outside the door, ancient and unknown trees, whose branches seemed to be wrapped together under some mysterious force, braided into a huge tree cover, blocking all the sunlight.

But apart from the light, this is probably the kind of woodland retreat that everyone wants to “give me the whole thing”.

The owner of the cabin has a peculiar hobby, his pets are not cats and dogs, but a bunch of crows, but they seem a little different from the average crow, parked quietly on the roof and branches, and were not noisy, as if they were asleep.

In a pitch-black room, a pale man woke up from a feather bed with black curtains.

He had sweat beads on his forehead and his eyes flashed, but what was more interesting was the wings behind him, four meters long and two meters tall, as if to fill the whole room.

However, if someone is careful, you can see that pair of wings are trembling slightly.

But the next moment, someone turned the harp, and the soothing sound went through the door, into the man's ear, and calmed his mind again. He sat in bed for a while, then stood up, put on slippers, and walked to the table to pick up half a bottle of Coke on top.

The added sugar helped ease his mood even further, but he couldn't help but sigh when he saw his slightly raised stomach.

He threw an empty bottle of cola into the trash bin beside him and then pushed the door open, but when he saw that figure on the living room couch, he couldn't help but frown.

“Thank you, Pacitia, for your amazing performance. I feel like I'm sitting in a golden lobby in Vienna, and I have to pay tribute to you for taking your hat off.” The funny old man on the couch clapped after the music.

An old man with pale hair nodded his thanks, then put away his harp and trembled out of the cabin.

When she took the door, the man looked vigilantly at the old man and said, "Why are you here? ”

The old man didn't answer, and he paused, “I remember how beautiful she was, and it reminded me of Daphne, and no wonder you couldn't help but offend Zeus for her. By the way, how was your waist, it didn't feel good to fall from such a high place. ”

“So you're here to laugh at us? ”

“No, it was just an emotional rush of time, and the goddess was old. ”

“The situation in Pacitia is not good, after all, there are too few people who know her name now.” Man, “she said," it won't be long before she disappears from the world. ”

“It's a shame.” Old man, “but that's the fate of the old men, isn't it? After all, there's nothing to fight against time, and one day the world will forget all of us. ”

The man snorted coldly, "Yeah, but I think you've been kind of jumping around lately, and I heard you went to Silicon Valley to find that guy. ”

“Hate and hatred do not help us to survive, and the development of things is a natural law.” Old man.

“So you intend to follow the laws of nature and betray us completely and join the opposite camp?” The man took a knife off the wall and walked toward the old man, "listening to the way you talk now is disgusting, like those guys, and I should have told the others to be vigilant, oh I almost forgot, time is just such a heartless thing, you just look forward and never look back, right? ”

The latter shrugged, “Listen to what you're saying, Shopnos, you know no one misses you more than me, those names that have disappeared in history only I remember, and I told you, no matter what difficulties you encounter, you can come to me, and my door will always be open for you. ”

Hupnos snorted coldly, sitting next to the old man, pulling an apple out of the tray and peeling it with a knife, "It's a mistake, we shouldn't have answered their request to play any game in the beginning, but we should have followed those ancient traditions, gathered everyone together, and fought with them in a great battle, yes, we may be at a disadvantage, but we beat the giant, and we could have won this war as well, and I don't know what kind of soup you gave Zeus, and made him willing to accept this apparently dizzying request. ”

“Unfortunately, we can't.” The old man patiently explained, "This is completely different from the war with the Titans, and in the circumstances, if we continue to fight with only one dead end, it is now the best outcome for us. ”

“Not to me," Shopnos said, "Pacitia is so weak that I can't wait for the next game, I have to help her achieve a good result in the game. ”

“Do you have a choice? ”

“Yes, I did meet someone this time, the girl named Shen Xixi, I've been following her for a while... but this time I met something else in my dream...” Shopnos remembered the images he had seen in his previous dream, and he couldn't help but tremble, and then he saw the old man's raised mouth, and he realized what he was doing, wary, “is that why you came to me? ”

“Yes,” the old man simply admitted, “I hope you can forget what you saw. ”

“He's got something to do with you?” Hupnos bit the apple.

“I know too much for your own good. Sometimes it's not a good thing.” Old man.

“Are you crazy, why are you messing with that thing?!” Hupnos is furious, "is it because we don't have enough enemies now, and people don't touch it? Are you a bitch? It woke up to be a catastrophe for all of us! Thanks to the stupid humanistic works of mortals, whose names are now unknown, none of us together can compare to one of his little fingers, can't you see, newspapers, novels, movies, games everywhere with its shadows! ”

“Calm down, Calm down, Hupnos, the reason I did this, of course I have my plan," Old Man Yo Yo, “so far, the situation is still under my control, so, in exchange I can help Pacitia find an excellent agent, well, that girl Shen Xixi may not be able to, because someone else is already after her... she has reached the probation period, but I can help you find someone else, and Sete, and I can help you solve this problem, so that you don't have to let him copy your [death dream] again, so you don't have to run around. ”
