"Did you see it? There, right there..."
"Where?" Li Xing and Tie Zhui said in unison.
Tao Yiran opened his mouth and his hands froze in mid-air.
It was blocked again, again.
Whenever she spotted the old man's back in a crowded queue and wanted to point it out to Li Xing and Tie Zhui, there would always be some creature or thing blocking their view, or some sudden sound coming from around to distract them, waiting for them to reply. When he came to his senses, the old man was lost again.
Less than 500 meters away from the entrance of "Koko Wonders", this situation had happened four times. She even began to wonder whether the hundreds of aliens blocked here were all colluding with the old man, or were simply Some kind of magic.
"Sister Ranran, have you... not slept well these past few days," Tie Zhui asked cautiously.
Li Xing stood up on his toes and looked forward, and said in a low voice: "We can't push any further. The people on duty at the door are members of the First Group Army of the Outer Territory Army. If they find that we are off duty, they will definitely report it to the battalion headquarters. How to explain it then, the key is, Tao Yiran, I really didn’t see any old man."
Tao Yiran said nothing, and kept moving left and right, adjusting the angle. A few minutes later, she saw the old man's back again. This time she did not remind the other two, and sure enough, her sight was no longer disturbed.
I saw the old man mingling with a group of tall fungus creatures with his hands behind his back, walking slowly and slowly.
She waited until the old man's figure disappeared from the entrance before looking back, and found that Li Xing and Iron Hammer were squeezed to the back by a Timoleon benefactor, and they could only peek their heads.
It’s really no surprise, it must be the old man’s fault.
Tao Yiran squeezed past and said through gritted teeth, "I want to go in."
"You..." Li Xing shook his head helplessly, "Okay, I'll report it to the battalion headquarters."
After a while, the communication was connected. Li Xing made up a reason for "finding a suspicious person" and explained it, but in the end he took off his earphones with a wry smile.
"How is it?" Tao Yiran had an ominous premonition.
"The battalion headquarters has reported the suspicious situation to the troops on duty in the area, and your unit will continue to perform its original patrol mission."
"..."
It's okay now, the alert level has been raised and it's even harder to get in.
Tao Yiran bit his lip, unwilling to give up.
Sudden.
A slightly surprised voice sounded from behind, and it was in Pang Botan's language: "Da~Tao Yiran?"
As soon as Tao Yiran turned around, he was pulled into his arms, his head buried in two hard and huge "chest muscles", and he was instantly out of breath.
"Uh~uh~"
After finally struggling out, she looked up and said in surprise: "Sierville? Why are you here?"
It turned out to be the Pangbotan woman who gave her a gift the day before yesterday.
"Oh, my husband went to attend a dinner party hosted by you humans, and his lowly wife had to have some fun by herself," Siewerer said on the surface, but he didn't care, but as a "woman", Tao Yiran could still tell. Deep dissatisfaction.
"Do you want to go in too?" Sieweiler pointed at the entrance.
Li Xing smiled dryly and said: "No, we..."
"Yes, we want to go in too," Tao Yiran lowered his voice, "But we are performing a secret mission and cannot be discovered by the people on duty at the entrance. Can you help us sneak in?"
"Secret missions..." Siewerer grinned, "I like secret missions, Pang Tart!" After saying that, he looked at the size of the three humans, turned around and shouted behind him: "Come here!"
Two Pangbotan men over five meters tall approached, wearing battle helmets and with tangled muscles on their bare upper bodies. Their arms reached their knees, each carrying a huge bag.
"Oh," Iron Hammer had already guessed the way they got in.
Li Xing's eyes sparkled, and he turned around and said seriously: "Tao Yiran, how about the two of us..."
"roll."
"OK."
Siewerer patted his backpack and said, "Dah~Humans on secret missions, come into my bag."
"..."
Tao Yiran looked around. The creatures lined up around her were all big and no one was paying attention. She put the hammer into her bag first, then got in and sat down with her knees in her arms.
Next to him, Li Xing stepped into his pocket and murmured: "I really appreciate you, Tao Yiran..."
Zeng~Zeng~Zeng~
Tao Yiran looked up and watched as the Pangbotans used more than a dozen curved bone needles as thick as human arms to secure the mouth of the bag, and then felt someone pick him up.
The two people in the pocket instantly huddled together.
There was a salty smell in the Pangbotan's bag that went straight to his forehead, and there were also some bits and pieces that made his butt hurt.
Next, the whole bag started shaking in tandem.
Not long after, Tao Yiran heard a human voice: "Please enter in an orderly manner, don't be crowded!"
When entering, all the delegation's accompanying materials have been inspected, and the characteristics of the items carried by different forms of creatures are completely different. Most of them also have external armor. It is impossible to have complete inspection equipment at an entrance like this. Probability simply maintains order.
Sure enough, she didn't encounter any obstruction. A few minutes later, she suddenly felt dizzy for a moment, and then a smiling voice suddenly appeared in her mind:
"Welcome to Koko Wonders, now that we are all human."
The magic is so amazing.
Tao Yiran could clearly tell that the sound did not come from his ears, but appeared directly in his mind. It was a bit like recalling what someone said, and that person's voice would sound in his heart at the same time.
"Wow, look, they've all turned into humans," Tie Hammer stretched his head and looked out through the gap in the bag.
"What?"
Tao Yiran struggled to open a gap and looked outside. There was a wide passage outside, as bright as day. The walls on both sides were so high that the end could not be seen, and there were entire mirrors. What was even weirder was that there were only faces and clothes in the passage. Different human beings, it seems that all the creatures that entered the Koko Wonderland turned into human beings at this moment.
Everyone was looking at themselves in the mirror curiously, shaking their arms, kicking their legs, and showing all kinds of strange expressions.
However, the Pangbotans did not change at all, which shows that this magic only turns creatures of different forms into human forms.
At this time.
Tao Yiran noticed that a guy not far away had taken off his pants and was swinging around with his hands on his hips. A group of people around him laughed and wanted to take off their pants too.
She violently pulled off the hammer and said awkwardly: "Don't get discovered."
Tie Hammer pursed his lips and glanced around, looking guilty. He had obviously seen everything clearly.
"The Sword Comes"
"Vision, hearing, smell, taste, and touch affect human beings' rational cognition of the external world, and also shape their fragile and sensitive hearts." Keke's voice was melodious and low, lingering in the depths of everyone's consciousness, "Only by becoming Human beings, we can truly enter into human beings..."
Tao Yiran and Tie Zhui looked at each other.
The creativity of the great magician Koko is indeed different. It is difficult to imagine what it would be like to turn those inorganic creatures into humans.
The Pombotan didn't stay long, and the pockets were shaking again, one after the other.
The passage seemed very long. Half an hour later, Tao Yiran smelled a chemical smell similar to detergent. At the same time, it became dark outside.
She quietly opened a gap and looked. The Pangbotans seemed to be walking in the dark wilderness, with shadows all around, and vaguely colored lights that illuminated the "sky" in the distance.
After another long bumpy ride, the bag finally landed.
The bone needles were pulled out one by one, and Sieweile stuck his head into the bag: "Come out, there are no human sentries here."
Tao Yiran climbed out and found that they were in a lively market. The road was narrow and there were continuous colorful tents on both sides. Red lanterns hung in front of each tent. There were crowds of people around, and countless "tourists" were in the tents. In and out.
If it weren't for the giant Pangbotan beside her, she would have thought she was in the Yinshi business district in Zhongjing at night. There was an area like this where vendors set up pigeonhouses to sell cheap handmade products.
Sieweiler smiled and said: "Humans and Pangbotan people have many similarities, ah, this place reminds me of my hometown..."
"Thank you, Siewerer," Tao Yiran came back to his senses and spoke sincerely.
"Go and carry out your secret mission, human being," Sierwell patted the pocket on his waist. "The mission of a Pombotan woman is to spend all her husband's savings."
"..."
Tao Yiran finally knew what the two big bags containing them were for, and she couldn't help but mourn for the unlucky Pangbotan.
——————
World Tree Hotel.
In the solemn and elegantly decorated main banquet hall, the New Year's Eve dinner hosted by the host was in progress. The main members of various civilizations or organizations, as well as some influential independent explorers in the spiritual world, and media people were all present.
However, these very different forms of beings just gathered around the table, "listening" to the explanations and watching the human "culinary art" in their own ways. The only ones who were really eating were a group of "humanoid" carbon-based creatures sitting at the central round table. biology.
At this moment, Li Liang was serving dishes to the Prince of Mass next to him.
"This dish is called Osmanthus Duck. It has been made for thousands of years. Try it."
"Thank you," Prince Mass picked up a small two-tined fork from among the dozen exquisite tableware of different shapes in front of him and forked the duck meat.
Li Liang averted his eyes, not out of politeness, but because the tableware brought by Prince Terranza were all decorated with spiritual cores, which was too eye-catching.
When he turned his head, he suddenly found that Siexie, a Pangbotan man diagonally opposite, was a little absent-minded.
Lao Yang noticed his gaze and grinned: "Lao Xie's wife went to Keke Wonders. He is a little... um, worried."
"Hahahaha~" Pombotan, the foreign minister of the Federation, had a rough personality. He laughed the loudest when he heard this joke, causing the cups and plates on the table to rattle. "Siexie, your wife will definitely spend all your savings." , buy a bunch of rubbish from that old liar Keke.”
Seeing this, Sieshe took a swig of wine depressedly.
The banquet was filled with laughter, and even the Prince of Mass also raised his lips.
Li Liang took advantage of the lively scene and looked at the side door of the banquet hall. Half an hour ago, Cain said he wanted to go to the bathroom. For some reason, he hadn't come back yet. He glanced at the group across the empty seats.
The group leaned back on the chair calmly, and the guard behind them immediately bent forward, then retreated quietly for a moment.
A few minutes later, Li Liang lowered his head and glanced at the information displayed on the bracelet, and suddenly he couldn't laugh or cry.
"Cain entered the Koko Wonder five minutes ago."
