It was dusk when Joan Baker came out of the Devil's Emporium. He had just finished watching "Peter Pan", and he felt a long-lost heaviness in his heart.
The last time he felt this way was when he realized that there was a completely unbridgeable gap between nobles and commoners, and then he said to himself, some people think that what a person is is predetermined, if I also If I think so, maybe I should have died among the refugees. Just because I think I can do what I want to accomplish, so I live today, so there is no gap that cannot be bridged, I need to set a basic concept for myself, as long as I get something, Then I can get everything I want. As a result, Joan Baker regards money as the pursuit of life.
It was dusk at this time, and it rained at dusk, and it was the most delicate time of the day when it rained. The thick cumulonimbus clouds made the night seem to come faster, but the light under the darkness seemed ambiguous. The buildings far and near in the city are covered with a layer of white rain flowers, as is the ground, everything is blurred and loses the sense of hierarchy, becoming a painting on a plane.
Joan Baker was watching the rain under the eaves of the Demon World Mall and fell silent.
After each movie comes out, he has to watch it several times. The reason he watches it is because it is a movie about the devil world, so he should learn about it, and the movie itself is very interesting. When he was reading those fairy tales before, he understood what those stories were supposed to convey theoretically, and he also understood why people were moved, but he didn’t have much feeling and resonance for it, after all, he often runs counter to those beautiful things .
He would have thought it would be the same for Peter Pan.
But after he came out of the movie theater, he felt an unprecedented shock.
At the same time, he also felt for the first time how beautiful those fairy tales were.
—It is precisely because Hill has put so much effort into fairy tales that Peter Pan is now blowing out.
While Joan Baker was deep in thought, Jacob came over, "Hahaha, what kind of expression is this on your face, Joan, this is the first time I have seen this expression on your face, it is really better than drinking a big gulp of ale Also enjoyable."
Joan Baker pushed away Jacob's outstretched hand, and walked outside without saying anything. The rain fell on him immediately.
Jacob continued to follow up with a haha, and Jombek's appearance made him feel happier—of course he didn't want to admit that he was a little worried. "Wow, that's exciting! Wow, I didn't expect our famous Joan to have a movie-inspired day! Oh, what the fuck are you doing?"
Joan Baker strangled Jacob's neck impatiently and pushed him to the side wall.
"Hey man, do you know what you're doing?"
Joan Baker glanced at Jacob, let him go and continued to walk forward.
"Let me tell you, I am the number three person under His Majesty the Demon King. Can you pinch my neck casually? Let me tell you if the problem is serious..."
Joan Baker sighed and turned to look at Jacob, then squeezed his chin and gagged his mouth directly.
The world is quieter, which is great.
Jacob's body stiffened.
The rain fell on them. Jacob's heart beat wildly.
After a long time, Jacob said in a low voice: "My mouth is not easy to kiss."
Joan Baker couldn't help laughing.
This guy is kind of cute.
02.
After the premiere of "Peter Pan", the audience was immersed in their own world. Different people felt differently about Peter Pan, but objectively speaking, they all gained happiness from it. Of course, the happiness they felt was also different. That's the fun part.
They had a hunch that a lot of people would love Peter Pan, and that Peter Pan might have a bigger impact than previous movies—psychologically, but they didn't expect this movie. The influence of it was so great that it was later:
At first, some young aristocrats put forward new norms for aristocratic interactions. They believed that many rules have become rotten now, and they should not follow unnecessary rules and regulations too much, and should liberate themselves to discover their sincerity. They advocated replacing polite smiles with genuine ones, and they no longer considered it impolite to laugh in public.
This new trend quickly became popular among the young nobles, and of course it clashed with the older generation, and then some of the previous contradictions also came to the fore under the conflict, and both sides were adjusting their own policies. Moreover, this kind of ideology spread outward from the norms of communication, and gradually expanded to other fields. For example, what is a qualified gentleman? Is it only based on the title of knighthood
No one expected a movie to cause such a big wave.
"There's a Peter Pan in everyone."
On the front page of the "Peter Pan"-themed Demon World magazine, this sentence was written.
Some people laugh at what happened later as the "Peter Pan phenomenon".
And the instigator of everything, Hill proudly announced in the snowstorm: "The so-called tragedy is to destroy the beautiful things for others to see."
At this moment, Hill and the Lich Ali Gaili are walking in the extreme north of the Demon Realm. There are a small number of snow mountain dwarves and magic dragons living here. They dug buildings in the crater. The magic dragon is responsible for suppressing the crater, and they provide food for the magic dragon. —The black dwarf and the magic dragon have always maintained a friendly relationship.
In fact, black dwarves have a good relationship with most races in the demon world, except for goblins and succubus. The black dwarves hate goblins, "these slimy, sinister little things, they are full of calculations and gold coins in their annoying little heads." So say the black dwarves. The black dwarves have no feelings for the succubus, but the succubus hates the black dwarf, because the black dwarf has a high resistance to magic in the spirit, and is the type of "destroying flowers with hot hands".
Even in summer, the area is still covered with frost, and the snowstorm roars among the mountains, and occasionally it roars like thunder. The surrounding visibility is extremely low, and occasionally you can see the huge shadow of the snow mountain, like a huge giant beast, lurking motionless in the snowstorm, which makes people feel awe from the bottom of their hearts.
Hill and the Lich Ali Gaili walked on a chain bridge between the cliffs. The chain bridge was blown back and forth in the blizzard, and the abyss below was terrifying. However, for Lord Demon King, all this can only be:
"It's a fantastic view here, isn't it Alighieri?" Hill said.
"Such bad weather is dangerous even for high-level demons, but your strength, my king, can completely compete with heaven and earth." Lich Ali Gaili said.
Lich Ali Gaili was right.
The blizzard here contains some magical atmosphere, in short, it can be regarded as a blizzard with a magic riot. This world is not the kind of high demon world, it is impossible for one person to destroy a continent, even if it is the devil himself. The gap between individuals would not be very great, otherwise, if the former demon king was so capable of fighting, he would just go to the battlefield and kill those people one by one.
Therefore, bad weather is dangerous for the demons, and it is completely established.
"Dare to teach the sun and the moon to change into a new sky." Hill said, "The older I get, the more I think that person is really powerful." After he finished speaking, he said the following words without waiting for Lich Ali Gaili to speak: "The so-called tragedy, It is to destroy good things for other people to see. If they don’t have good things, then create good things for them first, and then destroy them, so that a virtuous circle can be formed.”
The storm mixed with huge snowflakes hit the mountains violently, and the air roared like a dragon in shock.
Hill's scarlet cloak was blown wildly by the wind.
"Uh... I feel that your 'benignity' and our 'benignity' seem to be different..." Lich Ali Gaili said.
"Don't be cute." Hill smiled and gave him a contemptuous look. "Of course, after the final destruction, you can also have a spiritual rebirth, so that you can use it repeatedly, just like penicillin..."
"What?"
"Oh, let me tell you something about the smell. Penicillin used to be very precious, so after giving penicillin to patients, it would be re-extracted from their urine and reused. You can't understand it, but you can feel the smell That's it," Hill said.
Lich Ali Gaili: "..."
Lich Ali Gaili said dumbly: "Okay."
"So what do you think?" Hill asked.
"The smell is really strong, my king," said the Lich Ali Gaili.
Hill almost "poofed" out: "I'm talking about the cycle thing I just said."
"Oh, sorry my king, what you said later is so powerful that my thoughts are a little confused... Well... At the same time, it can also convey the point of view that everything has two sides to human beings." Lich Ali Gaili said.
"Yes." Hill nodded.
The Lich Ali Gaili thought for a while, then had a flash of inspiration: "Magic Girl Series!"
"Yes, you understand it." Hill felt a little relieved. The five elders of his back then were completely different from their current thinking. The change of thinking did not happen overnight. He did it, and they also It really gave him a sense of accomplishment. "After "Magical Girl I" is finished, the concept of magical girls will be basically complete."
"I see." Lich Alighieri nodded, "That's why fairy tales and Peter Pan are like this."
"Yes," said Hill. "Peter Pan is built on the basis of the previous fairy tales, and the rather cruel ending of "Peter Pan" also contrasts the beauty of the fairy tales, so they complement each other."
The sky was a little darker than before, and the clouds and mist were pressing down from the sky, and there was a feeling that the sky was about to collapse. The chain bridge swayed more violently, Hill stood firmly on it, and the lich Ali Gaili simply floated in mid-air. He thought about Hill's words for a while, and suddenly realized something: "Then my king, will the heroes in the Avengers die?"
Hill's gaze suddenly drifted away like that of the chain bridge.
Lich Ali Gaili: "Huh?"
Hill's gaze continued to wander: "You damn ghost, what are you talking about all of a sudden?"
Lich Ali Gaili: "..."
He was hit hard, in every sense of the word.
... But to be honest, the lich Alighieri can really be called a "dead ghost", there is nothing wrong with it at all.
Hill walked to the other end of the chain bridge and put his hand on the handrail. Cold ice emerged from his fingertips and spread across the chain bridge in an instant. He rushed towards the opposite bank frantically. After a few seconds, the chain bridge was completely frozen. No more shaking.
"Should be able to survive this blizzard at least." He said to himself: "Then it's time for the black dwarves to rebuild the bridge."
Lich Ali Gaili watched blankly from the side, feeling that no matter what Hill did, he would not be able to restore his image today.
