"This town is called 'Funny Town,' and it was the birthplace of the Kingdom of Two Horses revue."
After cleaning up the broken meat and taking away his dead colleagues, Locke led Kuro and the others into the town.
The town can't be said to be prosperous. Although there are a lot of people there, the streets seem to be too big. Compared with the number of people in this town, they seem a bit empty.
Kuro noticed that there were many closed song and dance theaters around this town, but they seemed to have been closed for a long time. Some places were covered with cobwebs and the door panels were in dilapidated condition.
"This is also Wulang's hometown." Locke stared at a large square in front of the street and said with some nostalgia: "Two years ago, this place was still very lively."
"So, you haven't said yet what exactly Goro is." Kuro asked.
"Goro...is a human being."
Locke's voice deepened: "A musical actor."
"This town used to be very lively. There were many opera dancers and many people came here. Even the war did not take away our love for operas. This is our tradition. Even His Royal Highness..."
Locke lowered his head and said dejectedly: "His Royal Highness the Prince may love musicals too much, so he summoned all the musical actors. Except for His Highness the Prince's permission, Kabuki is no longer allowed among the people, but Goro, Goro is different. "
"His level is not favored by His Highness, but he loves performing. Even if we are banned, Wulang still violates the ban and comes to perform for us, even though his performance is terrible."
As he said that, Locke chuckled twice, as if he recalled something happy.
Then, he shook his head, as if to throw away the thoughts in his mind, and continued:
"A year ago, His Highness the Prince discovered Wu Lang's existence and executed him here, in this square."
He pointed to an inverted cross in the center of the square. There were still some black marks on it, which looked like dried blood.
"Goro was probably unwilling, so he turned into an innocent spirit and possessed the monster. On the day he died, I heard the roar of the beast, and then the nightmare began."
"Since then, wild beasts have often come to catch people in the town, especially in recent times, which has become more and more serious. This is not the first time we have been attacked by wild beasts, but it was better before. Those violent wild beasts returned to normal after a while and left. .
"Today is also the first time we have encountered such a ferocious beast. Many people died. Probably because today is the anniversary of Goro's death. Lord Marine, if it weren't for you, we would probably all be the targets of Goro's grievances."
"but..."
Locke walked forward to the center of the square. The back of the inverted cross was covered with a black cloth.
He pulled back the black cloth to reveal a humanoid statue.
He was a funny man, with the white-faced makeup on his face, and a strange and obscene smile. He held a naginata in one hand, spread the five fingers of the other hand, and bent one foot, posing in a Noh play. Classic pose.
Kuro had seen this posture before, it was just like CP9's obscene posture.
"Mr. Clow..."
Seeing this statue, Crowe's pupils shrank, and he stepped forward and whispered: "The lion ape I met also used this posture."
"oh?"
Kuro glanced at the statue again, "Is it so scary? Wrong soul? It can't be some kind of fruit, right?"
"So, Lord Marine..."
Locke took a deep breath and said: "Although this matter itself is somewhat inappropriate, Lord Navy, please listen to our request. If you encounter the ghost of Goro, if you can catch it, please take it with you. Come here, if you really can’t catch it, can you tell it that we are sorry for it!”
"Please!" He bowed sharply to Qrow.
"please!!!"
The other people who came over looked at me and I looked at you, and they also bent down in unison and made a ninety-degree bow.
Seeing these people bowing, Qrow silently exhaled smoke and said, "Crow, where's the direction?"
"Moving."
Crowe shrugged his nose, pointed his finger forward, and kept moving along the direction, and finally clicked on a place, "We are heading in this direction, there... Galloping Horse City! Mr. Crowe, the lion ape is heading towards Galloping Horse." City forward!”
Crowley was stunned for a moment and said: "Crow, analyze it and take a look."
"yes."
Crowe pushed up his glasses, "It fought with me, and it looks very human. If it was transformed by some kind of Goro, then it should be a human being. If it really is an animal body and a human heart, Then it will be familiar with animals, and maybe it guessed that as a werewolf, I have a very good nose, after all, I licked its blood before."
"Deliberately using blood to induce people, let the strongest military city of Benma City divide its troops. No matter whether we come or not, we will achieve the goal of reducing the number of Benma City. Combined with what we know now, then its goal must be Benma City. Ma Cheng, it wants revenge on Old K!"
"Quite smart." Clow chewed his cigar and looked in the direction of Galloping Horse City. "Just know the destination. You made me spin around a little, and now you can't run away."
"Curo, do you want to help that old K?"
Lida asked: "Did that guy obviously summon all the kabuki performers to his city? It's too selfish to not allow others to watch the kabuki performers."
"That kind of thing doesn't matter."
Kuro walked forward, ignoring those who bowed. He looked at the place where the entrance to the town had been cleaned, but there was still blood stains.
"Retaliation when there is a grudge, revenge when there is a grudge, and it is too shameless to vent your grudges on innocent people."
He stared at the blood stains and spoke lightly.
The breeze blew by, making the eyes of those who bowed a little confused. They looked up one by one and saw only the few sailors in front of them, their cloaks with the word "Justice" printed on them fluttering in the wind.
Reassuring.
…
Galloping Horse City, Royal Palace.
There was some silence in the palace at this time.
In other words, deathly silence.
Old K was sitting on the throne, with an expression on his face as if he was dead, without any ripples.
Below him, Donald and others stood. Next to them, Catherine had the same expression as Old K. Their eyes did not meet each other, one looked to the left and the other to the right.
"Old King K, I brought your fiancée back to you!" Donald patted Catherine and asked her to take a few steps forward.
"Sa, this is your fiancée. Although she is ugly, there is no doubt that she is engaged to you!"
After that, he said to Catherine: "You don't have to worry. Although he is very old, he is indeed your marriage partner. Now go up bravely!"
Sazil turned his head and covered his forehead with a look of helplessness.
Look, is this human language?
"ah..."
Old K stood up stiffly, without even the desire to refute his own life. Like a machine, he said the lines in a very calm tone, "Well, welcome to my palace, my fiancée, I will do it for you." I have prepared the wedding dress and will change it later."
A great read, this must be a great read!
"Okay, Your Majesty the King." Catherine also read with a stick.
From beginning to end, the two people never looked at each other.
"Well, they look very married!"
Donald glanced at them, nodded, and smiled happily.
Sazil pursed his lips and swallowed what he wanted to say. If this guy dies one day, he will definitely be beaten to death.
