[begin recording]

Good afternoon, Strange Traveler.

Yu Hongbo: Good afternoon.

It's good to see new faces here, don't wonder how I know you're new here, because my nose works well, by the way, what's your name?

Yu Hongbo: My name... I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't tell you.

Yu Hongbo bowed his respects.

Don't think too much, young man, I'm just asking for your name. My name smells like lisianthus lately, or maybe it smells like daisies? You know, it's the kind of bitter stuff anyway, it's not easy to say.

Yu Hongbo: Ah, I'm really sorry, I'm afraid my name is a bit watery.

The 'wild dog-like entity' laughed and took off its hat.

No, I should apologize. I shouldn't inquire about other people's privacy like this.

Yu Hongbo: It doesn't matter. I don't mind. Nice to meet you, but I have to hurry.

Do you have to go? My house is very close to here, and I want to invite you to have a cup of tea.

Yu Hongbo bowed again.

Yu Hongbo: I'm very sorry, but unfortunately I can't get away now. Maybe next time.

Very good. Then let's see you next time, the stranger with a silly name.

Second conversation log

Explorer: Yu Hongbo

Interlocutor's description: 'Gentleman with the face of a dog'.

Remarks: This conversation took place during Yu Hongbo's second exploration in the 'Mysterious Forest'.

[recording begins]

Yu Hongbo climbed over a hill and found his 'old acquaintance of the wild dog' tending a field of blue cabbage.

Good afternoon, Stranger—ah, with all due respect. We've met before, haven't we?

Yu Hongbo: Good afternoon, we did meet, just a few days ago.

A few days? I think it's been a few years, but that's not important. The time here is always chaotic. I remember that you left in a hurry.

Yu Hongbo: Yes, I'm sorry for that, I was just here at the time and I was very cautious with everyone.

You still love to apologize so much. Listen to your accent, you're not from here? Interesting, where do you come from?

Yu Hongbo: I didn't come from the woods.

Nonsense. I'm sure there are woods in your hometown, don't you?

Yu Hongbo: We have forests, but there are very few of them, and they are becoming less and less. Everyone likes to live on land.

Wow, that's such a pity, tell me, how did you get here?

Yu Hongbo: You are always very curious, but I wonder if I can ask you a question.

Excuse my rudeness, I consider myself a scholar kind of person, you see, I'm excited to learn something from outside the forest, well, it's your turn this time, talk about your problem Bar.

Yu Hongbo: When we met last time, you said it was difficult to say your name. Why?

I can't be sure, but I think it's because I've been separated from my name for so long. I'm sure it was a good name, a proud name. But now, it may not be as brilliant. , if it still exists.

Yu Hongbo: Can you still be separated from your name?

Dear traveler, you haven't answered my question just now—how did you come here?

Yu Hongbo nodded.

Yu Hongbo: I walked through the 'old but eye-catching well' and came to the 'path I'm on now'.

The 'Kobold' looked surprised.

My God. Are you from the world outside 'that ancient well'? To be honest, I thought those creatures were extinct long ago. Can you tell me about you?

Yu Hongbo bowed.

Yu Hongbo: I'm very sorry, I'm afraid I can't answer this question.

Fine, I understand. I would also like to invite you to my cottage for a cup of tea, but I guess you can't do that, do you?

Yu Hongbo: I am afraid so.

His talking partner laughed, picked off a cabbage leaf, and handed it to Yu Hongbo.

Don't be so afraid. Take it and hit the road.

Yu Hongbo took the leaves with both hands.

Yu Hongbo: Thank you very much.

Bon voyage, may you find who you are looking for.

Record of the third conversation

Explorer: Yu Hongbo

Talker's description: 'Leaf Giver'.

Remarks: This is Yu Hongbo's third visit to the 'forest where kobolds live'. Because the creature who gave the cabbage gift showed very strange characteristics to the vegetable leaves given to him, and had a different understanding of human society, Yu Hongbo was instructed to have a more in-depth conversation if he encountered it again.

[begin recording]

Yu Hongbo met a white thatched hut on the road often traveled by project explorers. There was a portrait of a dog-headed man at the front door, and Yu Hongbo approached the hut and knocked on the door.

Yu Hongbo: Hello? Excuse me, is anyone home?

(Fuzzy sound in the room) Yes, it will be ready in a minute.

A minute passed and the door opened.

Ah, we meet again! Come on! Come in, come in.

Yu Hongbo was led into the house. The house has some wooden furniture and embroidery.

Yu Hongbo: Your home is nice.

Ha! You're so funny.

The 'dog-headed gentleman' ran to the small kitchen in the corner and started preparing tea.

Yu Hongbo: No, I'm not joking, your home is really nice.

I suppose so. After settling in a strange place, that's what it is, you should know.

Yu Hongbo: I'm afraid I don't know. Do you need help?

No, no, no, no. I'll prepare the tea, and you can sit down at the table and rest.

Yu Hongbo pulled a chair and sat down.

Yu Hongbo: You are too kind, but I think my stomach will be uncomfortable.

Ah, poor man. Well, I just thought the tea might lighten the mood a bit.

Yu Hongbo: I got the offer, but I'm really not thirsty. Can you tell me now, what do you mean by settling down in a strange place?

The 'furry master' looked out the window at the scenery.

I don't think your kind, your ancestors, told you a story like that—a story about the upheaval that drove me and my people here.

Yu Hongbo: Turmoil? Was there ever a war here?

'The Hairy Man' sighed

Aren't wars common?

Yu Hongbo: There have indeed been many wars in our history, but I don't know of one related to you and your people.

That's to be expected. Even in the woods here, there are only a few who remember it. I think I will be trapped by memory when I am old. Yes, when I was a boy, I looked the same as It’s different now, I also live on the other side of the well, I was born and raised there and I would like to go back there again if I could.”

Yu Hongbo: Why not?

The kettle was turned on again.

I can't unless I know I'm welcome - and that's impossible.

The 'tea maker' sat on the other side of the table.

I'm sure there are still a lot of guys over there, thinking about killing us survivors, they always want to kill-ah, sorry, those are dark past, you don't want to hear .”

'The Storyteller' took a sip of his tea.

Yu Hongbo: No, please continue. These are interesting - we're friends, aren't we?

Yes, my friend, I just moved my lips while the tea cooled.

Hospitable Kobold cleared his throat.

I still can't believe it, but me and my people were betrayed. We fought together. You know, we helped them in the factory war. But what did they do? They destroyed Us. They killed many of our companions and took all of our names, so we had to flee here, but there were not many people left. However, we have started a new life here, I don't hate them.

Yu Hongbo: I'm glad you can think about it.

I guess so, there are always some bigots who hate a whole Clan, but I guess you're not bad. There are still many humans who protect us, fight for us, and even die for us. Some even come here with us Live, let their souls rest - I have pursued a human being myself, she came to see me once or twice, but she was never seen again, I wonder if she fell into some unkind neighbor or maybe she just doesn't bother to see me anymore, but it's all over and I can go on with my life—I'm so sorry, but you're sure to find such bloody stuff boring, my friend.

Yu Hongbo: On the contrary, I want to hear more of these stories, you and your companions are very interesting.

That's for sure, my friend.

A gust of wind blew, and both sides were silent for half a minute.

'The kobold who lives here' grunted and put a hand on his head, as if in pain.

Yu Hongbo put his hand on the teapot.

Yu Hongbo: The tea is cold, I think it's time to set off.

'Tea-loving kobolds' makes a muffled sound

What? Are you going? I, I should go too...

Yu Hongbo: No, no, no, I can go alone, thank you. While this was unexpected and I'm sorry, I really have to go, I think I've been away from home for too long.

Yu Hongbo's dog-headed friend looked very painful.

What? I don't... Please, don't go, I don't seem to be feeling well, you—

Yu Hongbo: There is nothing I can do to help.

What did you do? I don't know who...my name? No...

Yu Hongbo left the room quickly, his friend was lying on the table, sobbing and looking at his hairy hands.

Yu Hongbo: Well, there is indeed a little water.

[END LOG]

The conversation between the two 'persons' ended here, and Yu Hongbo never entered the 'dangerous forest' again. After some review, he returned to site 46.

Several people took the document in their hands and read it carefully. Ten minutes later, Ning Suiyu spoke first.

Obviously, Yu Hongbo was fooled. The 'cunning kobold' used 'my friend' to call him three times, but he acquiesced in this address.

Yes. Morris nodded, Master Downey and I also think the same way, but now there is a problem, that is, after Yu Hongbo was called by his name, what will happen after that? I read your According to the investigation report, his body produced some animal hair, so can we guess that he has been assimilated by the 'insidious kobold' and gradually turned into an animal.

Ning Suiyu thought for a moment, then shook her head: It's impossible to judge based on this alone.

He was not assimilated, but his name was taken away, and then his body was taken away.

At this time, Zhang Jue suddenly spoke.

Several people looked at him at the same time.

With a calm face, Zhang Jue clicked on the report in his hand.

The record of the last conversation is already very obvious. If this 'sinister, cunning, carefree, indolent, scheming, deliberate, short-sighted, thieves-eyed kobold' is not lying, then we can know that it and its clansmen have no names, but they have the power to use names—— Or rather, everything in the 'horrifying forest' in which they live has this power.

Forehead--

After Zhang Jue finished speaking, two men and a woman were all stunned on the spot.

After a full minute, Old Downey said, Um, Consultant Zhang, I probably understand what you mean, but can you stop using such a long list of prefixes? I can understand some Chinese, but not so much. many--

Zhang Jue laughed, and put his arms around Old Downey's shoulders: Uncle Downey, the superiority of the Chinese language can be demonstrated at this time, just that piece of 'shocking forest' that makes people sweat, sweats, and frightens me. Being able to recite it all night is not counting the permutations and combinations of various words, otherwise even if the earth is destroyed, I won’t carry the same pattern.”

Zhang Jue used idioms indiscriminately, speaking in a relaxed and nonsensical manner.

But Ning Suiyu saw something different.

Lengthening the prefix of adjectives can effectively avoid the repetition of pronouns and avoid naming hazards.

This consultant Zhang was able to think of this point and make use of it in such a short period of time, which is really thoughtful.

Although he was joking and not in good shape, he set a good example for everyone, consciously or unconsciously.

When everyone mentions this 'strange and terrifying forest' again, they won't be so easy to run out of words.

But looking at Zhang Jue's complacent appearance, Ning Suiyu always felt that besides not wanting to cause naming hazard incidents, he also hid another important purpose, and even this was the final reason for his words.

But if Zhang Jue didn't tell, she would never know.

At this time, Morris also said: Whether Yu Hongbo turned into an animal or was possessed by that 'insidious guy' is all speculation and there is no conclusive evidence.

Yes. Zhang Jue nodded, So the most direct way is to go to the 'forest that bullies the weak and fears the hard, the unscrupulous, the fearless, the fearless, the trembling and the trembling forest', to see the 'despicable, shameless, obscene, dirty, self-righteous. Kobold', is it still there, by the way, blow its dog's head off.

...

Thanks to Mr. Qin Zhidao for the reward.
