When the bonfire goes out, it's time to set off.
Three humans, plus four stick figures, the gradually growing team of seven packed up and walked into the snow again. Yan Yueming, who was walking at the end, couldn't help but look back, hoping to see the silhouettes of his seniors and Dahuang, but his wish failed. He saw nothing but the whistling wind and snow, not even Huayuan Road and the SB headquarters building. , all become faintly visible.
He could only adjust his mood and continue to set off. However, after taking a few steps, the ground shook.
The vibration came from the direction of the Tianhe River. Everyone looked over with vigilance and surprise, only to see huge waves in the river that day.
What happened again?
It all started half an hour ago.
In the sinking space station, the water from the Milky Way poured in, washing the melons to pieces. Only Guagua and Tang Qiao were still holding on. Guagua kept Q Tower's instructions in mind and protected Tang Qiao from being harmed. However, within a moment, Tang Qiao vomited out a mouthful of blood and almost fell into coma.
"Don Qiao? Tang Qiao?" The croaking shaking technique almost shook Tang Qiao to death. She quickly stretched out her hand to hold him down, "Stop shaking, do you hear the music?"
"What music?" Guagua wondered.
"That means I was the only one who heard it. So those melon skins usually pry into secrets like this..." Tang Qiao thought about it and quickly made a decision in his mind. He straightened his melon skin hat and continued to pry.
The sound of music...she was sure it was the sound of silk and bamboo, and even the sound of suona. It was very magical.
This time, she heard something else.
It seemed like someone was talking, and there were sounds of fighting, which seemed to be near and far away, but couldn't be heard clearly. She was keenly aware that this might be something happening in a certain gap. She wanted to hear it more clearly, but those sounds were far away, and her brain was disturbed by these sounds, causing tingling and dizziness.
"Tang Qiao? Tang Qiao?" Guagua saw that Tang Qiao's face was getting paler and paler, so he hurriedly woke her up again.
Tang Qiao opened his eyes and took a deep breath. Just as he was catching his breath, he put his melon skin hat on again. Guagua had to admire her for not risking her life, but at this moment, the water rushed over. Without hesitation, Guagua used his body to block her, and activated the prepared defense device to block the gap and hold on for dear life.
Tang Qiao ignored it and continued to close his eyes, listening carefully to the sound he heard.
This time it was a vague man's voice. He was talking, but the voice was intermittent, as if the signal was not good and he could not hear it clearly.
The sound of water was also interfering with her judgment.
"...They...I..."
At first, Tang Qiao could only hear a few words occasionally, but gradually, the voice became clearer, "...there is no return...let them know...the master..."
The case was solved.
Tang Qiao opened her eyes again, and she was sure that the person speaking was a pervert. Only he would use that word. Thinking of this, Tang Qiao's eyes suddenly brightened, and a playful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
It turned out to be a poisonous person. Where is he now? What are you doing again?
Tang Qiao didn't know about Fulin Road, but that didn't prevent her from making inferences based on the existing information. Xiao Ming, Li Zheng and the others have arrived in Hu Di, and the end of the world has come. So the plot in Shangfang City should also reach the final battle, right?
There was a reasonable explanation for the sounds of fighting just now.
I don’t know
She didn't know what she had heard, but when she saw that the comrade who was leaving the meeting was not only vomiting blood from his mouth, but also bleeding from his ears, he was still smiling, and she felt a sense of respect.
Tang Qiao continued to listen. The more he listened, the thicker and more playful the smile on her lips became.
She thought she heard something interesting.
The next second, she took off her melon skin hat, stared at Gua Gua, and asked very fast: "Do you have a way to send radio waves to other gaps? ()"
“——?()_[(()”
"Try it!" Tang Qiao said nothing, grabbed Guagua and acted immediately.
Guagua was driven to the shelf, and knowing that he was not good at learning, he urgently grabbed another Guapi who was pretending to be dead next to him. Guapi trembled and had to open his eyes, "W-what do you want to do again?"
Let me go please.
Tang Qiao: "Zhen, you always know, right? I want to send a message to where he is."
Guapi cried out in his heart that his life was miserable, "No, I know, I know, but I don't even know where he is now!"
"Ghost King, banquet." Tang Qiao directly reported the key words she heard.
"Market of the Dead!" Guagua answered quickly.
As soon as the name came out, the skin of the melon trembled three times. He wanted to struggle, saying that there were all graves there, and the signal might not be good enough to pass through, but with Tang Qiao and Gua Gua holding him on the left and right, there was no room for resistance for him.
"Stab it, sting it..." Guapi stood in front of the console, constantly turning the knobs to pursue the one in ten thousand possibility of connection.
As time passed, the space station gradually leveled off during its fall, but the water that poured in had already reached their waists. Even if Guagua made emergency repairs to the portholes, it would still be a drop in the bucket.
Guapi was so nervous that he was sweating. He tried many times in vain, "Ms. Tang, it really doesn't work. Let alone the signal connection, even nonsense can't be transmitted..."
Tang Qiao said firmly: "No, the truth has emerged, and Hu Di's seal has definitely been loosened. Try again."
Having said that, Tang Qiao was actually unsure, but she couldn't show it. If you want to win, you must work hard and win completely. If you back down even a little bit, you will be completely defeated.
Hearing her determination, Guapi felt a lot more at ease, gritted his teeth - forget it, just give it a try.
He became more and more focused, no longer caring about the water pouring in, or whether the air was gradually becoming thinner, or whether there was still a possibility of escape. Perhaps, he really could succeed. In addition to inquiring into secrets and making weather forecasts, what if they, the melons, could also rewrite history?
Melon rind is also a great melon rind, isn’t it?
"Huh..." Guapi listened attentively, and the speed of turning the knob became slower and slower, and he almost fell down on the console. Tang Qiao and Gua Gua didn't bother him, and stayed by his side, waiting with bated breath.
Suddenly, Guapi shouted in surprise: "Connected!"
"Du-du--"
Whose phone is this voice connected to?
At the same time, No. 56 Fulin Road.
Wen Renjing hid in the corner, his scalp numbed by the sudden ringing of his cell phone. He hurriedly took out his mobile phone, but before he could hold it firmly, it fell to the ground with a "click".
A string of garbled codes was displayed on the screen that lit up.
() Wen Renjing's heart was trembling wildly. No. 56 Fulin Road was completely isolated from the outside world. There was no signal at all. Who called him?
Is it a ghost?
"Dingle bell, jingle bell—"
The bell that kept ringing was like a reminder. Wen Renjing didn't dare to let it ring anymore, otherwise he would be discovered.
He hesitated and picked up his phone, "Hello?"
It was a weak "Hello", and the voice was deliberately lowered so that Tang Qiao couldn't distinguish the other party.
who is it.
However, there are common faults in the communication equipment in the gap. Some high-end ones include space stations and cyber ghosts, but powerful ones like the Shabo family use landlines and BB phones, and there are no mid-range mobile phones.
It can be seen that the other party is at least a human being.
"Hello, this is Hu Di, the omniscient and omnipotent space station. I am Tang Qiao, please answer if you hear me."
"Tang, Tang Qiao? Xiao Ming's aunt?!"
The sudden increase in the volume reflected Wen Renjing's shock, and also made him understand what it means to be extremely happy and sad. The "monster" in front had already walked far away, but when he heard this, he suddenly turned back.
It was a two-meter-tall paper monster. It was very tall, but only had a thin layer. The human shape resembles the famous painting "The Scream". The whole body is made of stacked lines of black pencil. The mouth and eyes are like black holes, and the tongue is rotten and emits a foul odor.
There is more than one monster.
There are many such monsters hidden in this maze of gossip.
Wen Renjing did not expect that there was such a world behind the Ghost King's banquet place.
Screens and white curtains can be seen everywhere, which together create this huge Bagua array. The ubiquitous lights interweave light and shadow, and also reflect the shadow puppets on the screen and curtain. Those paper monsters are sometimes hidden on the curtains. They look very thin and look like shadow puppets. If you don't screen them carefully, you can easily be caught by them.
Sometimes the paper monster steps off the curtain, as it does now.
Wen Renjing picked up the phone in his mouth, used all four limbs together, turned around and ran away. He no longer cares whether he is a human being or an animal, as long as he can escape.
Tang Qiao heard his breathing on the other side and roughly deduced his situation, so without waiting for his reply, he took the initiative and said: "I overheard some secrets about the poison, or gossip, which may be helpful to you. "
Gossip?
When Wen Renjing heard this word, his eyes lit up. But he had no time to talk, so he could only circle around in the Bagua array desperately, using light and shadow and the constantly moving shadow puppets to escape from tracking. He had a hunch that those people who disappeared after entering Fulin Road, including his mother, might be here, and they were one of those shadow puppets. But as soon as he came in, he got lost. Even Damei didn't know where he went, and he couldn't stand alone.
On the other side, Tang Qiao's situation was getting more and more difficult. She didn't have much time, so she couldn't help but speak faster, "What I heard was probably the heartfelt voice of the poisonous person, the words he didn't say, the words he hid deep in his heart. The secret—he wants to be human.”
"Even if he doesn't admit it, he wants to be a human being."
ha?
Wen Renjing thought it was absurd, how could Zhen want to be a human being? In his eyes, aren't human beings just low-level ants? He couldn't even look down on them, so how could he want to be like them?
But Tang Qiao had no reason to lie to him, unless,
This Don Qiao is fake.
"Meow." At the critical moment, Damei appeared again. It jumped out of nowhere, landed on a screen in front, and barked at the crowd.
Wen Renjing felt happy and hurriedly followed. As Damei swerved around in the Bagua formation, she finally got rid of the paper monster. Before he could take a breath, he quickly asked, "What is the name of the ugly thing on Xiao Ming's window sill?"
Tang Qiao: "...Little Green."
Wen Renjing: "Congratulations on your correct answer. I believe you are the real Miss Tang, but why would you want to be a human being?"
"Is it strange that Zhen has such a sophisticated character? Even if he really wants to be a human being, will he say it out or dare to say it out? He has been to Shangfang City three times. Is it true that he has not been affected by humans at all? No, he He is studying, and he is becoming more and more like a person." Tang Qiao's rhetorical questions were like a storm, and through the questioning, she gradually straightened out her thoughts.
That's right, such a character is more in line with the evil, isn't it?
The more scornful and questioning you are, the more you yearn for it in your heart. That little desire and wavering will gradually grow over time, and the more it grows, the more depressed and distorted he will be.
Like a deep cabinet.
Zhen, a human deep cabinet.
The villain in my heart is twisting and rolling every day, saying: I want to be a human being today too.
On the surface, he wants to trample human beings under his feet, claiming that he is the master of the world.
"Stop talking, I believe you." Wen Renjing couldn't help but be convinced by her. After all, the more strange and twisted the character, the more convincing it is when applied to a poisonous person.
But even if you know the secret, so what?
Gossip?
Is this gossip the same as that gossip?
Wen Renjing couldn't run anymore, and if he was discovered again, he might get pissed off. And that feeling of thirst was still with him. He felt like he was almost dehydrated. It was not easy to survive until now.
Just do the math and take a gamble.
Wen Renjing turned on the loudspeaker and said: "Miss Tang, please say what you just said again. This is a Bagua array, I'm on speakerphone."
So five minutes later——
All the shadow puppets on the screens and curtains pricked their ears, and they all heard the biggest gossip in Hu Di. Who is the poisoner? Most NPCs know him.
He secretly wanted to be a man.
A rustling sound sounded, and in the blink of an eye they were connected. The shadow puppets began to whisper to each other. Under the light and shadow, it looked like a shadow puppet show, with invisible threads pulling behind them.
That's the power of gossip.
"who?"
"Who is it?!"
The poison lurking somewhere on Fulin Road suddenly looked back. He had a premonition that the situation was out of control. He was scratching his head and feeling uncomfortable. He tried his best to rush back, but it was too late. He watched helplessly as the Bagua Array was activated. Those sleazy people reminded him of the all-knowing and omnipotent space station's melons.
They are all so annoying!
Hate!
Zhen was angry, and his whole body was filled with black energy, but the shadow puppets were still talking rustlingly. Wen Renjing, who was in the middle of it, couldn't hear what they were saying, but Zhen could.
"He actually wants to be a man..."
"He actually wants to be a good person..."
"Good man, shameful, ashamed..."
"Be a shy good person..."
"Eh-"
"It's so disgusting..."
"Evil, evil smoke, bald little man..."
"Hee hee hee……"
He almost died of anger.
At this moment, Damei leaped into the air, stretched out her sharp claws, and struck down with one claw. And Wen Renjing's eyes followed Da Mei, and he also spotted Zhen. He didn't know it until he saw it, and he was shocked when he saw it.
"Fuck!"
"You are not the ghost king, you are the bastard!"
I don't want to defend myself anymore.
He kept the Xuanwu in the wishing well in the market for a long time. No one recognized him. They all assumed that the ghost king was him and launched a fierce attack on the ghost king. At this moment, there was a little bastard who called him a bastard. !
