39 Chameleons

39 Chameleons Rockwell poured the entire contents of the tin over himself. The bright green paint totally covered him, from the top of his head to the tips of his toes. "Come on, Josephine," he said quickly. "What are you waiting for?" Josephine ran over and did exactly the same thing with a tin of red paint. "Right! Stand with your back against the fence," said Rockwell. "Find your colour!" The two of them stood in front of the crayons whose hues matched theirs. The camouflage wasn't perfect, but it was good enough.

39 变色龙罗克韦尔把铁罐里的颜料全都倒在了自己身上 鲜亮的绿颜料完全盖住了他，从头顶一直到脚尖 “快点呀，约瑟芬，”他连忙说道 “你还在等什么呢？” 约瑟芬跑过去，拿着一罐红颜料，完完全全照着他的样子做了一遍 “好啦！” “背靠着栅栏站好，”罗克韦尔说道 “找准你的颜色！” 他俩站在了和自身颜色匹配的蜡笔面前 伪装虽说不算完美，但也足够好用了

"72," whispered Rockwell, "you're going to have to pretend that you're one of them!" "Affrmative," said the robot. "I can do that." They changed the colour of their eyes from green to red and stood very still. They hid just in time. The stream of red-eyed RAZERs came flying through the gateway a few seconds later, heading towards the southern door of the Spire. Then they stopped and arranged themselves in two straight, parallel lines, forming a pathway between the tower and the opening in the crayon fence. "What's going on?" whispered Rockwell. "I'm not sure," said Josephine. "It looks like some kind of... guard of honour. "For who?" Rockwell got his answer immediately. 67 and Alan came through the gateway, moving quickly towards the door in the Spire. They were followed closely by RAZERs 19 and 33, who were carrying a small, lilac-haired woman wearing a duck-egg blue suit with matching pillbox hat. "Relax your grip!" she yelled assertively in a high-pitched voice as they all went past the hidden threesome. "You're hurting me!" Josephine frowned. "Oh no," whispered Rockwell. "Now they've taken Nerys hostage!"

“七十二号，”罗克韦尔低声说，“你得假装成他们中的一员！” “收到，”机器人说道 “我能做到。” 他们把眼睛的颜色从绿色换成红色，一动不动地站定 他们刚好及时藏好了身 几秒之后，一队红眼睛的锐泽人从入口飞过，朝着尖塔的南门前进 接着他们停下脚步，排成两条笔直平行的长队，在尖塔和蜡笔栅栏的开口之间留出了一条通道 “这是在干什么？”罗克韦尔低声问道 “我也不清楚，”约瑟芬说道 “这看起来像是某种……仪仗队。” “在迎接谁？” 罗克韦尔马上就得到了答案 六十七号和艾伦穿过入口，飞快地朝着尖塔大门走去 紧跟在他们身后的是十九号和三十三号锐泽，他们押着一位淡紫色头发的小个子女人，她穿着鸭蛋蓝色套装，戴着同色系的平顶礼帽 “别抓那么紧！” 当这群人经过藏好的三人身旁时，她尖着嗓子厉声叫道 “你们弄疼我了！” 约瑟芬皱起了眉头 “哦糟了，”罗克韦尔低声说 “他们现在把内里斯抓作人质了！”
