Act 215 Safety First(1/2)
There are lush trees on Yale's campus, which can be called woods.
The reason why there are so many trees is certainly not that the Yale people here love nature and want to reflect the harmonious beauty of man and nature.
It’s just that there are too many woods and it’s too tiring to cut down.
However, in such a summer season, and in winter, you can see one straight tree trunk after another, there is a place on the campus, just like a person with dense hair missing a piece of hair, which looks extremely conspicuous.
On this unusual land, there is a small house, and next to this small house, there is a larger factory building.
And on the ground outside this factory, the filthy color was like shoveled from the Devil's Land.
Tom and Doug Chemical Company are located here.
The chemical industry has always been a big polluter.
Even in the future, pollution will inevitably be inevitable due to various reasons.
What's more, in this era when we have not yet experienced the waste liquid pollution in chemical plants?
Nick got out of the carriage and walked to the factory.
Looking at this strange place, I looked at it for a while, and confirmed that I saw the plaque, and finally came here.
"Who is the person in charge here?" Nick asked at the top of his voice.
"I! It's me! Are you?" Suddenly, a bald head with no eyebrows came out of the hut and responded loudly.
Nick looked at this person who seemed to be about the same age as Doug, thought about the company's name, and asked, "Are you Tom?"
"Yes! I am! Are you Doug's follower? Tell him, he hasn't been here for a long time, and I have some new things to show him. By the way! I have good things in my room, do you want to come in and take a look?" asked Bald Tom.
"...Okay..." Nick looked at the hairless monster in front of him, hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
The workers who seemed to have become numb, listened to Nick's footsteps, and when he stepped into Tom's hut door, they all looked up and gave him a silent expression.
They were not superstitious, but more than one person who had entered Tom's cottage had passed away.
Although Tom himself would not have any life-threatening danger in every accident, the person who was with him in the cottage did not have such a good fate.
Even... there is a rumor circulating between Tom and Doug Chemicals' employees, not that Tom never dies.
But every time Tom was about to die, he would pull someone into the cabin to die.
Therefore, although these employees felt that their work was very hard, they did not want to communicate with Tom, reduce their workload or salary.
Because, no one wants to enter Tom's cabin.
When Nick entered the cabin, he realized that it seemed unusual.
It doesn't look very big from the outside, but the area inside seems to be extremely large, as if magic was released.
Different types of bottles and jars are neatly placed in every corner.
The jars are a little dark, while some are transparent.
Nick looked at these dangerous things and didn't dare to touch them at all.
even……
Even the ground under his feet repeatedly confirmed whether there was something dangerous.
Of course there will be no danger, and there will be no danger in this life.
This is true for Tom and Nick.
Because Nick's life is only once.
Because Nick's life cannot be repeated.
"You look a little nervous? Take it easy, everything here is safe." After Tom comforted, he suddenly thought, "Oh! By the way, what's your name?"
"Me? Just call me Nick." Nick replied cautiously. He didn't really think it was safe because Tom said it was safe.
As a financial practitioner, Nick seems to have a keen perception of danger in nature.
"Nick! Well...Nick! It's a good name!" Tom savored the pronunciation of Nick's name while going down the notebook.
"What are you?"
"It's okay. I just record who has come in."
“It doesn’t seem like there are too many.”
"Well, it's not a lot."
"Boss, he hasn't come in?"
"Oh? Are you talking about Doug? He has never come in."
"By the way! Can you ask you a question? What's wrong with those people with black frames on their names?"
When Tom heard the question, he showed a sad expression on his face, "He... they all... alas..."
Tom sobbed first, then sighed again.
"What's wrong with them?"
"They all died."
"How did they all die?"
"He...they..." Tom was about to say, suddenly said, "Be careful!"
Just as he spoke, Nick saw a bottle falling from the wall.
Nick subconsciously took the bottle into his hand.
"You're so quick to react." Tom commented.
"What's in it?" Nick asked.
"Well. There are some small powders here, you can see them, light yellow powder, right? They are very obedient, and as long as they don't encounter violent collisions, they won't explode!"
"Explode...explode?"
"Yes! It's just an explosion!" Tom's face showed an excited look, "Do you like explosions too?"
"No...no..." Nick refused. For someone who wants to escape from all dangers and live his life safely. For explosions or something, it is best to get away from him as far as possible.
However……
Danger is not something you need to avoid if you want to avoid.
Even if you can avoid it with subjective consciousness, the objective probability is there. There is always a possibility of happening.
"Bang!"
Another glass bottle fell to the ground and instantly cracked into several pieces.
The inexplicable powder burns when it encounters air.
They stuck to Tom, and Tom turned into a fireman.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Although Nick did not feel the pain, he was frightened by this scene. He was like a fireman, rushed out of the door of the wooden house and rolled on the ground.
"Well...so that's what it is..." Tom raised his feet gently, and there were several small pedals where he was standing.
There is a wire connected to the end of these pedals. As long as the corresponding pedal is touched, the corresponding bottle will fall down.
As for those on the roster, they are all those who devote themselves to the development of science.
Most of the names in it outline the names of black boxes, and they are people who have dedicated their lives to science.
One day, Tom felt that his research had made breakthrough progress.
He would erect a monument of science and carve all the names of those who have dedicated their lives for science on stone slabs.
And outside the wooden house, Nick rolled on the ground, rolled for a few minutes before the fire finally went out.
When he barely stood up, he felt so cold.
No matter what the clothes on his body have become incomplete.
The most important thing is his hair!
The hair has disappeared.
He has become a bald man.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
He touched his bald head and screamed again.
Even louder than when he found that he was full of fire.
Because, fire can be extinguished.
But the hair is gone, and the handsome image disappears.
Of course, Nick just thought he was handsome.
"The fire has been extinguished?" Tom walked out and stood at the door and said, "Come in quickly! I really have a lot of good things here!"
To be continued...
