The abandoned circus is located ten kilometers northwest of where the Cat was anchored.
Shirley flew in front, and Annie lay on Zheng Xiu's shoulder. The two of them flew high and arrived here.
Shirley has mastered the use of "Wind Flower" and can even perform fancy flying in the air. She proudly shows off her skills to Zheng Xiu while spinning in circles.
On the way to the circus, they encounter a group of fleeing aberrations, which look like hybrids of demons and other aberrations.
Before Zheng Xiu could tell him to be careful, Shirley flew high and canceled the "Wind Flower" first.
During the free fall, Shirley first used the "Iron Cannon", banging a few times, accurately hitting all the aberrant creatures, then launched the "Wind Flower" again, found an angle, canceled the "Wind Flower", and fired a "Wind Flower" "Hundred Ghosts" killed all nine aberrant creatures and shot them to the ground.
Finally, Shirley used a "sword technique" that fell from the sky, and her hands turned into "quick knives", slashing a little deformed friend with one blow.
The whole process was resolved in just one minute. Zheng Xiu fell to the ground in silence. His face was stained with abnormal blood, his eyes were bloodshot, but his face showed the eagerness of "a child who has done something and is looking forward to being praised by an adult." Shirley stood among the ugly and distorted pieces of flesh, wringing her hands nervously as she waited for Zheng Xiu's praise.
Zheng Xiu had a strange look on his face.
At the end, he stepped forward and applauded slowly: "Shirley, this is great."
Shirley's hand hidden behind her back returned to its normal shape. When she heard Zheng Xiu's words, a happy smile appeared on her face: "Uncle, do you really think Shirley is great?"
"Yes, what else?"
"But whenever Shirley kills someone or kills an aberrant creature, Mia gets very angry. She scolds Shirley every time and tells Shirley not to do anything."
Zheng Xiu thought about it and realized that there seemed to be something like this along the way. No wonder every time she encountered a lone aberrant creature, Mia would fire her gun immediately, with perfect accuracy, without giving Shirley a chance to take action.
"Mia said," a thoughtful look appeared on Shirley's face. She was recalling Mia's words: "Shirley can grow up happily. She doesn't need to learn these things. Mia can protect Shirley."
"But Shirley actually knows that Mia can't protect Shirley."
"So, uncle, Shirley will tell you a secret." Shirley blinked and waved to Zheng Xiu. Zheng Xiu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and chuckled, leaning his head forward. Shirley lay next to Zheng Xiu's ear and said in a soft dolphin voice: "Shirley has decided to protect Mia and uncle." She clenched her pink fists, and there was incredible power hidden in her small fists: " Shirley would never let her uncle and Mia come to harm."
Zheng Xiu didn't know how many years he had heard from others that someone wanted to protect him. While I found it funny, I couldn't help but feel a little emotional: "When Shirley grows up, she not only has to protect her sister, but also her uncle."
Sure enough, the apocalypse is still very training for people.
In the Daqian Dynasty, 99% of the children at Shirley's age were playing in the mud and sand by the river. And Shirley can already kill monsters in a fancy way, which is pretty good.
"Um!"
When Zheng Xiu stretched out his hand out of habit, Shirley put her feet up and moved her head forward to let Zheng Xiu boldly take over.
"Shirley has grown up and can protect Mia. In this way, one day, my uncle will be able to leave this world with peace of mind."
suddenly,
Shirley, who didn't speak, fell silent.
This is not a sick sentence.
Shirley didn't speak before, but Zheng Xiu could clearly feel that the child was simply closing his eyes and enjoying his head-touching.
But the moment Zheng Xiu said those words, he was keenly aware that the atmosphere around Shirley had changed, and an atmosphere called "silence" swept over.
"Shirley?"
Zheng Xiu stopped moving, lowered his head and asked.
"Uncle...do you want to leave this world?"
Shirley's tone became erratic and unpredictable.
Zheng Xiu didn't know how to answer this question.
He chose not to answer.
Uh-huh!
Brilliant, flower-like translucent wings suddenly sprouted from Shirley's back, shining brightly and flying high into the sky.
She was like a bolt of lightning, passing through the sky in the blink of an eye and disappearing into the horizon.
"You seem to be poking holes in the basket!"
Anne said with a gloating smile: "Don't forget that her ability is to 'turn ideals into reality'. This is almost a 'reason'. If she is persistent enough, Deep, haha, it is very possible that I will force you to stay here in the end. Not to mention keeping you here, it is not impossible to even turn you into her 'father'."
Zheng Xiu looked at the direction where Shirley disappeared, remained silent for a moment, shook his head and said: "No, what I appear in this world now is the 'incarnation of Zheng Shan'..."
Halfway through the words, Zheng Xiu remembered the moment when he forcibly cut off the "Zhu", and his tone stagnated: "No way?"
Lady Anne said happily: "Who asked you to be so kind as to use your own method to guide her to develop that ability?"
"I'll fuck you, uncle." Zheng Xiu scolded the orange cat unceremoniously: "Didn't you leak it?"
"Hurry up, Meow!"
The orange cat tilted its head arrogantly and did not argue with Zheng Xiu on this point.
Zheng Xiu didn't say anything and quickly chased in the direction where Shirley flew away.
soon.
Zheng Xiu landed on a strange building.
Within a few kilometers, there was a mess of buildings. There's a collapsed Ferris wheel, a broken roller coaster track, a broken circus show sign, a haunted house and more.
It seems like a normal playground configuration, but why would Zheng Xiu call it "weird"?
The reason is very simple. Zheng Xiu is condescending, and as far as he can see, all the buildings are "plural".
At a glance, the ruins below gave Zheng Xiu a strange feeling. The amusement park below was like several identical amusement parks, pieced together, and then experiencing the end of the world together.
There were several people lying at the entrance. Zheng Xiu landed at the entrance of the amusement park and walked forward with a little more caution.
They are all members of the Scorpion Team responsible for outbound searches.
One of the women lying in the snow and snoring was none other than Beyoncé, who had the ability to "turn one second into ten seconds" and was only one step away from having a one-night romance with Zheng Xiu.
Several people took long breaths, and Beyoncé was even snoring without any sense of danger, sleeping soundly.
"Fell asleep?"
The lives of several people were not in danger, and it could be seen to the naked eye that they were sleeping soundly. But the reason why Zheng Xiu raised questions was precisely because they slept so soundly.
Zheng Xiu stepped forward and gently shook Beyoncé a few times, but failed to shake her awake. Zheng Xiu looked down at his palm-sized muscular palm, thinking seriously about how much force he could use to wake the person up without beating him to death.
"hiss!"
Several sleeping people were lying on the ground.
The orange cat, which was originally lying on Zheng Xiu's shoulder, took a few breaths of cold air without any warning, and jumped off Zheng Xiu's shoulder.
The furry tail on her hips swung uneasily behind her. Lady Anne leaned forward with her front paws. The whole cat assumed a vigilant posture like a fighting chicken, and made a harsh bluffing sound from its mouth.
Lady Anne suddenly had a bad premonition.
"Why did you fall asleep? Humanoid ability?"
Zheng Xiu immediately thought of humanoid abilities.
In fact, when the Maomao's path was filled with roadblocks that did not look like natural accumulations, Zheng Xiu knew at that time that the roadblocks were man-made.
The mere humanoids were nothing to be afraid of, so Zheng Xiu came to the amusement park with a game mentality. If you encounter an unfriendly humanoid, just deal with it. Furthermore, Zheng Xiu was also curious about the strange abilities of humanoids. He was looking forward to seeing more abilities and looking forward to seeing what weird things Annie revealed.
After shaking Beyoncé a few more times, Zheng Xiu still failed to shake Beyoncé awake, so Zheng Xiu gave up. He looked up and looked around, and soon saw a rotten and tattered sign not far from the entrance.
The signboard was rusty, but Zheng Xiu could still make out the content on it: On a certain day of a certain year, a certain month, the world-famous circus "Nightmare Troupe" toured here, and they will Bringing great performances to the country.
There is a striking and enchanting female silhouette printed in the center of the sign. The female silhouette was originally supposed to be dark red. The style of the painting is evil and weird, and the silhouette is frozen in her raising an index finger.
There is also a promotional slogan below.
Zheng Xiu couldn't see clearly, so he stepped forward, saw it clearly, and read it out.
"Have a wonderful night?"
When Zheng Xiu read the first half of the sentence, wind blew up in the back of his head. The angry orange cat flew up and kicked Zheng Xiu in the back of the head.
"Stupid god, don't read it! Ah da!"
The terrifying jade feet distorted space, light and shadow. Zheng Xiu had no expression on his face and without looking back, he grabbed Maomao's jade feet with a slap.
One God and One Cat remained in a stalemate at the entrance of the amusement park for a moment, holding hands and feet.
"What are you crazy about?"
The orange cat's kick just now was not a joke, it was all aimed at killing the god of death.
If Zheng Xiu hadn't blocked it with ease, this incarnation would have been scrapped on the spot.
"Stupid! How can you talk about the 'authority' of that dead bat?"
The orange cat was angry, but Zheng Xiu's eyes turned into jade-shaped pupils, and he could read the hesitant fear and anger in Maomao's heart at this moment, and the complicated jade feet.
Zheng Xiu was stunned: "Such a long sentence...authority? Isn't the authority of your mortal enemy just a dream?"
Although Orange Cat had never said it himself, Zheng Xiu had vaguely guessed the other party's posture of authority from Orange Cat's repeated thoughts over the years.
"Stupid!" The orange cat angrily tried to free Yuzu from the macho man's control. She twisted her butt hard, but without twitching, she pointed her tail at Zheng Xiu's nose and yelled: "Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! What are you doing? Your small pattern measures the power of the Lord! The Lord is everywhere and goes everywhere. Under His authority, He is invincible!"
Zheng Xiu looked at the cat struggling in his control with strange eyes, trying to pull out the jade feet. He couldn't blame him. Who could make the only master he knew collapse like this? "Other than creating "loopholes", there is no other outstanding performance. This kind of dominance makes Zheng Xiu never have a strong sense of tension and awe for the existence of the "dominator" level.
You, the master, are like this, and now you tell me that the master is so invincible... But Annie, do you want to listen to what you are saying?
After thinking about it carefully, Annie's state was indeed wrong, and she was shocked. Thinking of the "retrospection" that Annie was experiencing, Zheng Xiu felt soft, and finally decided not to irritate the nervous Annie, so he silently let go of his hand. "Boo~", Annie pulled out the jade foot with force, and made a clear gasping sound because the speed was too fast and the movement was too hasty.
Gulu, guru... Annie flew dozens of times in the air, flew ten meters away, and then flew back to Zheng Xiu's shoulder in despair.
"I've thought about it all, now...what will happen?"
When Annie returned to squatting on Zheng Xiu's shoulders, she seemed to have turned into another cat and resumed her usual lazy and elegant tone: "I don't know either."
suddenly.
Melodious and poignant music came from the depths.
This is the song coming from the playground radio.
A violin piece.
The lyrics tell a brief but poignant story. A princess who has been sleeping for many years wakes up from a long dream. Her once gorgeous castle has turned into a stone ruin. Things have changed, people have changed, the sea has changed, and the prince she loved has turned into a skeleton.
Amidst the singing, a magical scene took place.
The mottled rust peeled off little by little, and the fallen Ferris wheel in the distance stood up again strangely, turning happily to the sad violin music. Ding ding ding ding! The Unicorn Touring Car with a bell around its neck was moving on the new road, and the laughter of children could be faintly heard on the empty seats.
call! call! call!
The broken track returned to its original shape, and the roller coaster raced on the track.
The current scene is like the legendary "turning back in time". The ruins of the amusement park that have been sleeping for hundreds of years suddenly reveal in front of Zheng Xiu the style that existed hundreds of years ago.
Zheng Xiu and Annie quietly watched the changes taking place in the playground.
All of this is still within Zheng Xiu's acceptance range. Isn't it just magic? Who can't do it with some divine power? Zheng Xiu curled his lips, [Intuition] activated on its own, and the hairs on his hair stood up slightly. This reaction seemed to remind Zheng Xiu that "there is danger ahead, and there is high energy, but not much."
After experiencing the intuitive feedback brought by [Intuition], Zheng Xiu closed and opened his eyes and activated the extraordinary skill of [Detection]. The dark data flow washed down like a waterfall in the depths of Zheng Xiu's pupils. Several strange numbers first appeared in his field of vision, and then the numbers exploded like bombs, densely filling Zheng Xiu's field of vision.
Zheng Xiu had never seen such a vast amount of information after breaking the rules in [Investigation]. The huge amount of information was like a vast ocean, instantly rushing through Zheng Xiu's brain and filling Zheng Xiu's eyes.
He only felt a sharp pain in his eye sockets, as if they were being roasted by fire, but in between the sharp pain, there was a vague sense of pleasure that could not be described.
After Zheng Xiu got used to this feeling of pain and joy, his eyes returned to the playground in front of him:
The colorful neon lights gave this dull night a magical color. Zheng Xiu looked up curiously. The sky was still covered with a layer of dust clouds that were unique after the "catastrophe", but the buildings and roads in the amusement park had a completely new look. Such a mixed scene of old and new was extremely inconsistent in Zheng Xiu's mind. In front of him, Zheng Xiu felt a strange and dreamlike feeling.
"No, meow!"
The orange cat closed his eyes, sniffed left and right, and said with a bit of relief: "It's strange! The smell of the dead bat is very light! He probably didn't put his 'authority' here, maybe it was What He left behind a long, long time ago! A little bit of Him, but not much!”
As the saying goes, the person who knows you best is your mortal enemy.
Zheng Xiu admired the fact that the orange cat could smell the "smell of dead bats (smell?)" from this place.
Annie came to the same conclusion as Zheng Xiu: there is a bit of bat stuff here, but not much.
"Let's go! Go in and take a look!"
Without waiting for Annie's instructions, Zheng Xiu also had this plan. Let it be as it comes. In fact, although the "dead bat" in Annie's mouth is Maomao's mortal enemy, it is not to Zheng Xiu. In a sense, the "dead bat" in Annie's mouth can now be regarded as the leader of Fengbei. Zheng Xiu is curious about what is hidden inside.
