Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

"Sir, do you like this little hamster?" The female shop assistant's voice brought back Chi Feichi's thoughts.

Only then did Chi Feichi realize that he had been staring at the hamster in the glass box for a long time, and then glanced at the hamster again, "No, I just found that this hamster has shorter legs than the healthy rats we studied in class, by nearly five millimeters. , the hind legs are too thin..."

The female clerk, Doudou, was dazed: "..."

Chi Feichi continued, "When it grows up, it will look better than other hamsters, because if it gets fatter, it will look like a dumpling, but also because of this, it will be weaker than other hamsters in terms of exercise, and hamsters themselves hate exercise. If not, the health will be worse than other hamsters."

The female clerk quickly explained, "You are studying white mice in class, right? The legs of white mice are generally a bit longer than hamsters..."

"No, I'm a veterinarian. I'm a veterinarian. Compared with mice, we mostly observe common pets." Chi Feichi said.

Khan, the female clerk, well, since she is studying veterinary medicine, she must be able to tell the difference between a hamster and a mouse...

This hamster also really doesn't like to exercise much compared to other hamsters.

Under the regretful gaze of the female shop assistant, Chi Feichi left the pet shop and walked on.

Not far away, I heard a vigorous shout:

"Sell snakes, sell snakes! You can roll and be cute, and you can hunt by yourself. The cheap Chilian snake only costs two thousand yuan, two thousand yuan, and you can bring home the rare and intelligent mutant Chilian snake!"

Chi Feichi: "..."

In the past, he often listened to yelling in China, but in Japan... In his inherited memory, he never heard of it.

Even if it was an activity in the mall, he still found a girl to read the words in a very formulaic manner. It was the first time he heard such a homeland flavor!

So, he stopped and turned around.

In the street shop, the owner is busy cleaning with his head down.

In the glass partition near the door, a gray and black snake stood upright, staring straight at him with a pair of black eyes, and the snake vomited happily.

At first glance, it looks scary.

However, what this guy said was: "Sir, do you want to buy a snake? I'm cheap, only two thousand yuan, not enough to go out for a good meal, don't bite people, just don't let me eat loach again, or let me go It’s fine if you don’t hunt by yourself, I’m good enough to feed~”

Chi Feichi was silent for a moment, then walked in, "Boss..."

Your family's snake has become a spirit!

"Ah, welcome!" The boss who bowed his head and swept the floor hastily put the broom aside.

This is a store that sells special animals, such as snakes, lizards, and spiders. When you enter the store, you feel that the temperature is much cooler.

But the boss was very kind, "Do you want to buy a pet?"

Snake: "Look here! Look here!"

Chi Feichi turned his head and took a look, and found that the snake had turned around in the glass box and was still staring at him.

The boss's face darkened for a moment, and he hurriedly said, "Most of the pets in our store are very docile. This snake always likes to stare at people, but it has no malicious intentions..."

Snake growled coldly: "If you can't sell the pet, blame me. If you sell me, will I just stare at them if someone comes? Even if you can't sell it, you should change your food anyway!"

Chi Feichi ignored the "snake language" and observed it, "This snake looks like a red snake, but it doesn't have any red. What kind of snake is it?"

"Cough," the boss was also a little embarrassed, and took out a booklet, "It is indeed a red snake. We have a certificate from the breeding farm here. Every snake has been registered. Its parents are pure red snakes. You see ..."

Chi Feichi looked down, and there were indeed detailed registration information in the booklet.

What is the serial number of this guy's parents, and there are photos. The two snakes are very good in color, red and black, without any gray, and I don't know how this guy turned gray and black.

The boss continued to sell, "Actually, this snake is very good. Generally, red snakes have the smell of rotting fish, but this snake has almost no smell and is very clean."

Chi Feichi took a deep look at the boss, did he take him for a noob? "Although the Chilian Snake is classified as a non-venomous snake, it is a slightly poisonous snake with fangs, but the poison is basically harmless to the human body. It is hard to guarantee that it will not bring harmful toxins to the human body because of the mutation."

It is difficult to distinguish the species, and it is not sure whether there will be any harm after the mutation. It is estimated that this is the reason why this snake cannot be sold.

boss:"……"

How do you break it when you meet someone who knows how to do it?

The snake frantically spat out the letter: "Sir, I don't bite!"

Chi Feichi didn't answer, but continued to talk to the boss, "This snake is at least three years old, right? The lifespan of a red snake is usually 6.1 years. If I buy it back, even if I take good care of it, it can only be kept for about three years. "

boss:"……"

Snake: "No, no, I feel very healthy, I'm still young!"

Chi Feichi: "Besides, Chilian snakes are raised from adults, and they have a strong temper. They are usually bought back from juveniles or seedlings. They are very docile when they are young, and they will not be aggressive when they grow up."

boss:"……"

Snake: "I've watched people come and go since I was a child. When I see humans, I'm friendly and have a very good personality!"

Chi Feichi looked at the speechless boss and sighed.

No wonder you can't sell it, your skin is not as thick as a snake...

The boss smiled awkwardly, and changed the subject, "Actually, you can look at others. We also have normal red snakes. By the way, there are also corn snakes. Corn snakes are docile and can live up to 15 years. Good for pets...”

Snake was unable to lie down: "Sir, look at me again, look at me again, the black-hearted boss has fed the little loach for three years, three years! I haven't even eaten anything else, I can only look at other Isn't the color of the snake extra meal a bit strange...it killed the snake..."

"Don't look at it," Chi Feichi called to stop the boss who was leading the way, "Just this one."

The boss was taken aback and looked at the glass box in surprise.

The snake in the glass box straightened up again, staring straight at Chi Feichi with a pair of eyes.

"How much?" Chi Feichi asked again.

The boss came back to his senses, the one-buy price, 2,000 yen, the breeding instruction manual and the certificate were packaged, and a plastic transparent carrying case was also attached. He almost sold the snake with the feeling of giving away the plague god, and watched Chi Feichi gratefully. go out.

This snake really knows its price, and it was right before.

After going out, Chi Feichi turned into the alley beside him and put the plastic box on the ground.

The snake in the plastic box lazily spit out a message: "Little mouse, little frog, little chicken, little fish...you, what are you doing?!"

Chi Feichi held the snake by its seven inches and picked it up, looking at the snake in front of him.

Before... no, until he met this snake, he never thought of raising a snake.

Even if you want to domesticate a helper, snakes have many disadvantages.

Snakes can't see much at night. They mainly rely on their tongues to sense vibrations or their own 'heat sensors' to sense the surrounding world. Searching for non-biological things is almost useless.

Moreover, the IQ of snakes is generally not high, and most of them survive by instinct. The one with the highest IQ should be the cobra, but even if he wants to keep that thing, he can't forget it.

There are also snakes that are afraid of the cold and need to hibernate.

Originally, he was more inclined to buy creatures such as cats or birds that are easy to search, communicate and domesticate them, and cooperate with him to collect information...

However, this guy has a high IQ, which is about the same as that of ordinary humans.

The snake also let Chi Feichi carry it, and he didn't dare to resist. It would be a trivial matter if it bit someone and was sent back. The key is that this guy pinched its vitals!

What is this guy trying to do?

It heard that there are people who eat everything, so it can't be...

In the dark alley, a person and a snake stared at each other. Both the eyes of the person and the eyes of the snake were calm and indifferent, but the thoughts in their hearts had already turned several times.

In the end, it was Chi Feichi who broke the silence and took out the keychain from his pocket, "Can you see what I'm holding?"

The snake stared at it for a while, then murmured: "To play this with a snake, could it be that he is the snake spirit disease that people say... Will he not even have to eat loach in the future? I am so hard... ..."

Chi Feichi's face turned dark, and he said in a low voice, "I don't know if it's difficult for you, but I'll count to three, and if you don't answer my question, I promise you will show up at the dinner table tomorrow."

The snake raised its head suddenly, Yuan's eyes were still expressionless, but he was obviously taken aback.

Chi Feichi began to count, "One, two..."

Snake: "Yes! Yes! Yes! I can see, isn't it the key? I know this thing!"

Chi Feichi nodded and thought for a while, "You know him? That is to say, you can see things clearly at night. The question is whether you know him or not?"

"I can see..." After the snake was surprised, it seemed to suddenly become happy, and it nodded frantically like a chicken pecking at rice, "Actually, I know a lot. Look, I know that you humans express 'yes' and 'yes'." ', just nodding like this..."

Chi Feichi: "..."

This... no, this bastard!

Among the snake's shortcomings, this guy doesn't have the problem of low IQ. If he can see at night, hibernation is not unacceptable. Anyway, he doesn't bother to go out and run around in winter.

In fact, think about it, snakes also have many advantages.

It’s enough to feed once a week, and you don’t need to take it for a walk...

The snake shook its head and was a little dizzy, then stopped, and said with emotion, "It's the first time I communicate with living things since I was born. Humans don't know what I'm talking about, and I'm imitating them, but the same kind can't do it. Know what I mean, they just swim around, hunt, rest..."

Chi Feichi looked at the pair of snake eyes that seemed indifferent and devoid of emotion, and his heart was faintly touched, and he quickly regained his composure, but his tone slowed down a bit, "My name is Chi Feichi, i ke hi oso. "

As he spoke, he put the snake aside, took out a pen and notepad, tore off a page, wrote words, katakana and Roman accents, and placed it next to the snake's eyes.

"Your name is Feichi, hi a ka..." Chi Feichi tore another sheet and wrote it down, and put it next to the previous note, "Just right, it's not red as a red snake, it suits you very well."

Feichi stared intently and nodded, but this time he didn't babble.
