Are there two turtles in the urn? Did they have nightmares? Why? I don’t know. Anyway, they had a good night? Dreams, and slept soundly.
When he woke up, the sky was already bright.
"Nightmare" is still hanging on the ceiling of the living room, her face is blue, and there are thick dark circles under her eyes. His? Expression? Sluggish, loveless, like a dried salted fish.
Even when they saw that Yuan Bu came out because of him, they still looked half-dead and not alive.
Seeing this, why? Shaking his head slightly: "No? It was just thinking about a simple multiple-choice question, and it turned into this in just one night. This tool person is not qualified."
Even though he thought so, he didn't let go of any chance of squeezing the tools, so he leaned back on the sofa and asked, "How is your cooking?"
In fact, this villa is not an old merchant's house, but a place where "Shang Han" lives alone. He doesn't come here very often, and there is no one else except for regular cleaning.
"Nightmare" who was filling the salted fish opened his mouth hesitantly, and said inexplicably: "...Is it okay? I used to cook by myself."
"That's good." Yuan didn't know why he nodded in satisfaction.
No? See him? How do you move? In the next moment, wisps of black smoke dissipated in the air, and the power that bound "Nightmare" firmly disappeared suddenly. He who was still hanging from the ceiling before suddenly lost the The strength of pulling, no? It fell to the ground with a heavy sound, almost bruised and swollen, and knocked out a few big bags.
He got up in embarrassment, and as soon as he raised his head, he met a pair of calm eyes. The other party said in a calm, straightforward tone, "I'm hungry."
"Nightmare" immediately understood the subtext, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he actively expressed his own value: "I will come! My cooking skills are inherited from my ancestors. I was just being humble just now. In fact, I was still in a restaurant before. I've held the spoon." He smiled so enthusiastically, he was a completely different person from before, and he kindly asked Yuan Bu to order for you, "Shang Shao, what do you want to eat?"
"Nightmare" is not exaggerating. Their culinary skills are indeed quite good, especially the desserts are very delicious. Isn't it because they just enjoyed a pleasant breakfast—maybe it was lunch? —I am deeply satisfied that I have discovered a universal tool man.
Looking at my newly-discovered pastry chef, why did I finally think of one thing: "By the way, what's your name?"
Hearing this, "Nightmare" who had just finished washing the last bowl raised his head, his expression was slightly startled, and he was almost about to cry. This time, it was no longer scared, but wept with joy.
... No? Easy, he? Not? Easy! Until now, he? Finally has a name in the eyes of this boss! Does that mean he? No? Will be killed
He was so excited: "I, my name is Zhang She..." Yun.
"Oh, that's Lao Zhang."
It was not because I interrupted their words for my own sake.
So I still don't deserve to have a name... "Nightmare" silently responded, "You're right."
"Old Zhang, are you monsters? Are all members of the guild so rude? Like to observe secretly?" At this moment, Yuan didn't? Why? It seemed like he just asked casually. The tone was so flat that it seemed to be a signal to chat, but it made the nightmare tremble, and his heart hung high.
His expression tensed up almost subconsciously.
It didn't work because his expression didn't change, he just smiled lightly and said, "The guest has already come to the door in advance, at least it's from the same guild, please go and invite him over for me."
As he spoke, he suddenly turned his head slightly, and his eyes calmly looked towards the direction of the gate of the villa.
Entering the gate of the villa? There is a garden in front of it, covered with clumps of crimson roses. In the corner of the gray-white fence, a snow-white fox is leaning on the wall, with its two front paws resting on the top of the wall, its tail raised, its ears raised, its eyes wide open, staring at the villa very intently. Observation in the dark" attitude.
If you look closely, you will find that this is not a real fox, but more like a small doll.
This is another puppet of the "Puppet Master".
And at a certain corner hundreds of meters away from the fox, a figure was quietly hiding there. They put all their minds on the puppet, and they were concentrating on manipulating the fox to flexibly turn down the fence and approach the target secretly. Secretly thinking in his heart: "No? There is an ambush, and there are only two people in the whole villa. One is the nightmare, and the other is the person who came to me last night?"
... It was a nightmare for him to be found by someone for no reason. Although he came here according to the will of his heart, he? still wanted to try it out. If the other party is just bluffing, they don't really have the means to control them, so they don't have to obediently obey the command and send them to the door... Moreover, if it's just a weak person deliberately playing tricks on them, causing them to stay in fear all night , then he will have to make the other party pay the price.
At this moment, the puppet master's eyes flickered.
—To be precise, it was the white fox that flickered in front of its eyes, as if suddenly picked up by a hand, its eyes rolled and stared at the person coming.
A very young and good-looking face appeared in the fox's line of sight, and also appeared in the eyes of the "puppet master" who was connected with each other. The simple, sharp and slightly sharp facial lines outline the sharp aura contained in the young man but not revealed. His deep pupils are like thick ink.
"...look what I found? What did I find?"
He wobbled the white fox, a pair of deep eyes met the eyes of the doll, as if he had seen through the man hiding behind the manipulator, and the corners of his lips curved slightly.
Behind him is a large area of crimson roses in full bloom.
At the corner hundreds of meters away, the "Puppet Master" suddenly opened his eyes, a little scared: "Okay? Terrible mental power..." Just one look forced him? No? Must? The particularity of the ability made him feel that the soul power of that person was terrifyingly powerful. If he dared to fight the opponent head-on, he would end up miserable.
Thinking like this, they decisively gave up on the puppet, and just as they turned around and took a step, their bodies suddenly froze in place.
A young man with a pale face and thick dark circles stood in front of them, and he called out his code name accurately: "Puppet Master!"
The "puppet master" looked at them suddenly, although he had never met them, he had already guessed their identities.
"—Nightmare, it's you!"
…
When Yuan Buwei saw the person brought back by "Nightmare", he couldn't help raising his eyebrows slightly.
"This time, Lao Zhang, you didn't take the opportunity to escape, which made me very embarrassed."
Didn't Nightmare speak? He secretly slandered.
... Why? Difficult? Is it a matter of choosing between me and the puppet master? Hmph, I'm not? Stupid. Running is not running? If you take the opportunity to escape, wouldn't you be killed and silenced? Also not? Choose one of the two.
He looked at the "puppet master" silently, and sternly said: "Young Master Shang, this guy is not yet honest, doesn't he want to keep his promise. He was spying outside just now, don't think he won't say anything now. Do you mean? You must be playing tricks."
The "puppet master" was so angry that his chest heaved, and he looked angrily at the traitor who betrayed his teammates!
"Nightmare" didn't take it for granted, and stared back at him.
… What are you looking at? It's all your fault! Or? It's you who blindly gave the intelligence? The newspaper misled me, would I be so miserable? ? ? What ordinary people? Have you ever seen such a powerful ordinary person? !
At this moment, a pair of troubled brothers and sisters fought with each other's eyes.
"Nightmare" still had thick dark circles on his face, and he looked at "Puppet Master" with resentment? The "puppet master" who was stared at by him became even more angry.
... Good? Gas? Oh! It's clearly you, aren't you? Talking about martial arts? Selling out teammates, acting as someone else's pawn, cheating me, how dare you stare at me? Are you still staring? ?
"Puppeteer" is going to be angry? Explode.
Think? He? He has always been cautious, and he has been able to follow suit. For so long, all the disasters will be blamed on "Nightmare", the guy who cheated his teammates!
The two frantically dumped the pot in their hearts, and scolded each other eight hundred times at the same time, almost dying together.
Wasn't it? Because ?rua held the fox in his hand, and glanced at the two of them, seeming to be interested in watching the two fight wildly with their eyes.
However, in their view, the attitude of the two of them is half-truth and half-false. Complaining to each other and throwing the blame at each other is definitely true, but part of it is for yourself to see.
——Using common sense to infer that they have become turtles in the jar and are still fighting each other, so it looks more reassuring to be an idiot who has no regard for the overall situation. Therefore, the two will show their resentment towards each other unanimously in front of the original reason. Otherwise, even if they feel resentment in their hearts, they will temporarily endure it, and it will not appear on the surface like this.
Why didn't he lazily rua the fox, and said flatly, "Okay, I don't like idiots."
The two who were still fighting with angry eyes just now heard this, they almost retracted their gazes at the same time, and then looked at Yuan? Why? Their movements were very consistent.
Why? Smiling and pointing, his tone was cold and polite: "Both of you, I would like to invite you to stay at Villa No. 17 for the time being. Don't do anything that might easily misunderstand me." .Lao Zhang came early, so I can talk to the other about my rules."
Leaving such a sentence, he? Turned around and left the garden. Seems not at all? Worrying that the two would take the opportunity to escape.
He's so magnanimous, but even more so? People don't dare to act rashly, suspect him? What's behind.
The two people who stayed in the garden looked at each other, and finally, "Nightmare" coughed lightly, and said, "That's it, Mr. Shang? He is very interested in the inner world..."
·
No? Why? No matter how "Nightmare" persuaded "Puppeteer", would he? Believe? Believe in the other party? Let himself? Disappointed :)
According to "Nightmare", he has not been an awakened person for a long time, and he has not joined the monster guild for a short time. ?More.
Originally, because there was no one under his command, he could only stay up in the middle of the night and do it himself to get information from "Nightmare". But now, if you want to pry the "puppet master"'s mouth open, you already have a well-trained tool man, so of course there is no need for them to do it yourself.
So, not long after, he learned more secret information from the "puppet master". But what surprised him the most was this—
"...You guys will attack me because of Xie Huaying? She has been absorbed by the monster guild as a new member?"
"Nightmare" already knew the relationship between Xie Huaying and the man in front of him. Even though his tone was calm when he asked the question at this time, he still felt the trembling before the storm, and quickly argued: "I really don't know about this. I just Knowing that this task was released for the newcomer, and you have a grudge against the newcomer, Young Master Shang, I will vent my anger on her first, and she will resolve the real grievances by herself."
"... You already explained it yesterday. No? Don't worry so much." Shi Shiran said, "I'm not a devil after all."
No, you are scarier than the devil... "Nightmare" subconsciously replied in his heart, and then quickly lowered his head, lest his expression reveal his slander.
The "puppet master" helped to explain: "The members of the guild will easily reveal their true identities to each other. Only me, the introducer, and the president know the identity of the newcomer. After all, only with the consent of the president , we can absorb new people.”
Maybe it was because he subconsciously half-closed his eyes.
"... Interesting. I really didn't expect that Xie Huaying would become an awakened person. Is it because of my stimulation that day? It seems that this is her bargaining chip..."
The reason why he stimulated Xie Huaying was to hope that the other party would try his best to get out of prison under the domination of hatred.
Then, Hsieh Huaying will most likely take out the bargaining chip that made the merchants choose to give up their heirs and not to pursue the truth in the original trajectory. This is also something that was originally not a curiosity.
Never expected that fate would unfold like this.
—Xie Huaying unexpectedly awakened.
They seem to be able to imagine that in the original trajectory, because they killed their sweetheart because of their first wrong choice, and buried the truth because of their second wrong choice, they feel guilty and guilty all the time. , intertwined with the torment of panic, love for Shang Han, and hatred for herself? Coupled with the selfishness in her nature, she chose to escape. All kinds of complex emotions are intertwined, making Xie Huaying's soul distorted by strong emotions, thus awakening her aptitude, it seems not surprising.
Guessing the truth? Why didn't you just get interested in this matter? No? Why did you just ask casually: "So, Xie Huaying has already passed the inspection of the monster? The president of the guild. Even if you are dead now? , can she still become a new member of the? Monster? Guild?"
What do you mean I'm dead?... "Puppet master" was perspired by his understatement, and his back was cold. He always felt that he would die suddenly on the spot at any time, but he could only tell the truth: "Shang Shao You are right. Moreover, I estimate that within two days, the guild will use its power to fish her out of the police station in an open and honest manner."
Didn't it? Why? I let out a thoughtful "Oh". Just from the demeanor, I really can't tell what they are thinking.
After a while, just listen to him? He asked again: "No? Are you talking about monsters? Does the guild have a chat group? Can you let me have a look?"
·
I caught "Nightmare" and "Puppeteer", so I sneaked into the group chat of "Monster? Guild".
Of course, the current him? Temporarily wearing the vest of a "puppet master".
It was quite lively in this group at this time.
Harmonica: Extraordinary! I heard that group of lunatics at the rave did something big again. It's the 7th district, right? You know how those lunatics did it. A large block was burned. It seems that a big person died? !
Black Cat: This matter? Who doesn't? Know? The most prosperous city in District 7 has been burned down, and now it is in chaos, and the army has been mobilized to maintain order. Tsk tsk, the news reports in District 7 also claimed that there was a problem with the natural gas pipeline, which caused a series of explosions? The gas and pipelines said they were not satisfied, how wronged they are! I am dissatisfied with the natural gas pipeline, human beings always push the pot to innocent animals and dead animals, it is really abominable! ! !
Hitomi: It really is a carnival! I just left from District 7 two days ago. Now I have some regrets. If I stay a few more days, I can still enjoy this grand event! Maybe you can join them and become one of the protagonists. Ah, I seem to have the inspiration to paint again...
Illusionist: It's ridiculous, a group of guys who don't have aesthetics, I'm suffocated when I see the burnt pictures on the Internet! The originally bustling market has now turned into a burnt paper, which is the destruction of beauty! ! No? Excuse me! ! ! Hmph, as I said before, the lunatics at the carnival are really not normal! Their deformed aesthetic needs to be corrected! If I were to come, it should be at the most beautiful time of sunset and dusk, and let everyone leave with the happiest smile in the wonderful illusion... Such beauty can be frozen forever!
Mouth organ: [Sighs while holding forehead] Enough, you guys restrain yourself! You also said that others are crazy, I think you are also crazy, don't you? Slightly, after hearing about such a tragedy, are you actually indifferent? I have been silent for three minutes!
Harmonica: In fact, raves are becoming less and less decent? They are always making trouble in the real world, and now they are almost becoming a terrorist organization. I think I should talk to them. They want to release the monsters in their hearts and vent their emotions, which is understandable, but it's not good to release them indiscriminately like this, and it's not good to hurt the flowers and plants! I think we should unite and put pressure on the federal government to let them independently set up a garbage area and throw out all the "garbage" they don't want, so that everyone can release it as much as they want :)
Illusionist: Oh, you're tarnishing my aesthetics! I think killing you is the perfect guy! Garbage area? It's simply unimaginable! ! !
…
The monster? The chat group in the guild was full of quarrels, and in the end, it all developed into an offline appointment.
"???" Yuan, who was diving silently, had a few question marks popping up on his forehead, "So this is the internal atmosphere of the monster guild? Well, I will."
Then, they learned quickly, absorbed it, and felt that they had successfully become masters and fully integrated into the atmosphere of the monster guild, so they opened their mouths.
Puppeteer: Stop arguing! Is it? Only if I make you all dolls can you be quiet
Sure enough, the chat group was instantly quiet.
After a while, the illusionist was the first to speak.
Mesmer: Good?! Your aesthetic has improved a lot in just a few days! I approve of you! If you want to turn these bastards into puppets, I'd love to help you.
"... It seems that you have studied too successfully, and you have gone too far?" Originally, why did you reflect silently.
At this moment, the chattering group was completely quiet. This is the function of muting all members.
—Mysterious monster? The guild leader is online.
[President] Ghost Che: @All Members During this time, there have been some unusual changes in the world. Remember to be careful when entering privately. In addition, the next meeting time will be three o'clock in the morning three days later.
After posting such a paragraph, the monster? The guild leader disappeared. The president seemed to have a great deterrent effect on people, so that after they left, the group was still quiet for a while, but no one spoke.
Why? I simply looked through the announcement files and other content in the chat group. I saw a lot of public written materials in the world in it, but there were no pictures.
It is said that modern technological equipment, such as mobile phones, cannot be used in the other world, and will completely fail in it.
When he was checking the information, the illusionist suddenly sent a private chat: Are you there? Your idea just now is really great, the more I think about it, the more perfect it becomes! I think it's okay to turn those noisy idiots who don't understand aesthetics into quiet puppets, put them in the most beautiful poses, and sink into the dusk together! real! I'm sick of these idiots, let's work together, and we'll get rid of these idiots at the next party! Only those of us who know how to cherish and create beauty deserve to stand together.
"Is this guy really crazy or fake crazy? Did he really want to do it or test me? Did he find out that I was not himself?"
Didn't it? Why? After pondering for a moment, a smile suddenly appeared on his lips, which made people tremble.
Puppeteer: Okay? Ah! With your cooperation, it will be seamless. I've seen them for a long time too? Don't they? It's pleasing to the eye! Well, I think the president is the one I hate the most. Why don't we take him as the first one? Think? Think? Excited!
There was a sudden silence over there, and there was no further message for a long time, as if disconnected.
"... It seems that the madness is not complete enough."
Wasn't it because he shook his head slightly, and his tone was a little disappointed.
He? Put away the phone, went through what he saw and heard just now in his mind, and felt that he had gained a lot.
Through personal contact, they already know what the monster guild is, and they have also gained a lot of information about the world that they did not know before.
Although the monster? The president of the guild is very mysterious, but the group information of the monster
"Is there a monster hidden in everyone's heart? The moment of release can help us see the truth."
This should be their idea, or in other words, the monster guild's interpretation of the awakened and the inner world.
"In three days, the party, I'm looking forward to..."
It seems that the door to a new world has been pushed open. Couldn't it be that because he is very interested in the legendary inner world and the awakened, he has long since left his current identity behind.
It's a pity that others will not forget them.
Just the day before the party, a phone call came from the merchant's old house, and the voice of the old butler came from the other end of the phone: "Young master, sir, he? He? He? He? He? He? He? Knows that you broke off the engagement with Miss Xie without authorization." ?, very angry now? I want you to rush back to the old house as soon as possible."
"... They are very angry?" Yuan Bu suddenly turned up the volume slightly because of the character design that was replaced by the original body. There was a hint of sarcasm in the young man's tone, "Does he? Don't? Know what Xie Huaying has done? Is the merchant willing to accept a hostess with a criminal record?"
Another deep and mellow male voice rang from the other end of the phone, with a touch of majesty: "In any case, the engagement cannot be broken. Besides, that Miss Xie has been released without charge."
