Views:

Chi Yan took Ye Yingzhi's hand and tried to pull him forward, breaking through the resistance of the heavy shadows. The two finally moved forward a little bit - but the next second, the space changed, and the two appeared under them again. The car place, the empty snow-white fairytale-like street, the whole glass window, as well as all kinds of strange goods in the window, reflected a large and strong sunset, as if mocking their naivety and self-control.

Aaron said don't go back and don't tell them why they shouldn't. They know from strong men that people who respond here, take things here, or leave things here will be left behind; now after experiencing it for themselves, they know that they can't move forward if they go back, they can only go back to the original point and start again. start.

The purple-red sunset on the horizon was gradually engulfed by the night, and the vision had become dim, and night was about to come. In such a short period of time, they could not rush back to where the carriage was again anyway.

The imperative became to make sure to stay alive and get out of here. Devils can go to Devil Town for fun, so there must be a way to return to Devil Town from hell. Ye Yingzhi believes that as long as they leave here, even if they can't catch the return bus from the travel agency for a while, they will definitely be able to return to the world. So even if it seems that the form is very bad, he can still ensure calm and calm. Especially when Chi Yan was there, it had almost become his instinct to protect his partner from harm and support each other.

He took Chi Yan's hand and softly said, "Don't be afraid, it's alright."

Chi Yan looked back at him and nodded quietly.

On the other side of the street is an empty and barren open space. In the distance, you can vaguely see rolling hills. There are no people or buildings at all. It is obviously an unwise choice to leave from there. The two can only walk along the original road together. Keep going.

The last ray of sunshine was completely swallowed up by the darkness, and the entire Nibbos was plunged into endless darkness.

A faint dim yellow door light was lit in front of the store, and the closed store door was also automatically opened outwards by some kind of induction, as if welcoming the arrival of the guests - the whole city seemed to be "live" for a moment. up.

Chi Yan and Ye Yingzhi had reached the middle of the commercial street at this time, but behind them there was a rhythmic metal tapping sound of "da-da". Chi Yan turned around and saw that the copper doll of the pirate captain he had seen during the day was sliding towards them with a smile. A unicycle metal plate was pressed under its feet. The copper doll seemed to be consciously controlling the metal plate. Approaching them slowly, the rattling sound is made when the metal disk slides. The huge copper hammer was held high above the head. Against the dim light and the shadow of the building, the smiling expression on the doll's copper face looked a little grim, revealing a strange twist, as if it had life.

Chi Yan and Ye Yingzhi looked at each other and ran forward together. But as they ran, the puppets slid faster, always following behind them.

In front of it is the street where the brown-robed people who boil the soup are located.

However, this time was very different from the daytime scene.

During the day, all the brown-robed people sat motionless at the door of the house stirring the iron pot in front of them with a spoon, and would not leave their pots to actively stop or entangle the passing tourists; at this time, all the brown-robed people stood up, They kept gobbling down the soup in the pot with the spoon. Because the handle of the spoon was too long to use, almost half of the soup was spilled back into the pot. They didn’t care. the process of. No matter how they eat, the soup in the iron pot does not decrease in the slightest.

When Chi Yan and Ye Yingzhi appeared at the intersection, all the brown-robed people in the field of vision stopped moving and looked at them, and then they swarmed up, all of them holding their full spoons and crowding the two of them. Beside him, he desperately tried to stuff the spoons into the mouths of the two of them, and his mouth made a thin and vague voice: "eat me", "eat it for you", "eat quickly"...

The disgusting soup was pushed between his mouth and nose, Chi Yan only felt nausea in his stomach, couldn't help turning his head and retching, but even so, there were three or four long wooden spoons trying to put them in his mouth. plug. Ye Yingyi picked him up and held him in his arms.

He threw away a few brown-robed men fiercely, stared at a familiar figure in front of him, and asked sharply, "Tell me! How to get out of here!"

The strong man has just fallen, and he believes that the other party should still maintain his sanity.

The man wrapped in the brown robe with only one pair of eyes exposed, but only tried to put the wooden spoon in his hand into his mouth, his lips curved upward, showing a smiley expression: "Eat quickly, eat quickly, you can leave after eating. It's gone." His eyes gleamed with guile and joy, and his voice, like those of the brown-robed men, became blurred and shrill.

Ye Yingzhi held Chi Yan in his hand, raised his foot and kicked him aside, taking advantage of the gap to look forward - more and more brown-robed people were moving towards them with long spoons, and they were kicked by him before. The few brown-robed people who fell to the ground also got up again and squeezed beside them full of soup.

Ye Yingzhi's eyes became solemn, and he slowly stepped back with his arms around Chi Yan. In this way, it was almost impossible for him and Chi Yan to break through the encirclement and run to the other end of the street.

There is no doubt that after night falls, these things seem to be lifted, and Niabs in the dark is more dangerous than the day. At present, there is only one copper puppet on the commercial street behind. The ideal state is that they solve the copper doll, then hide in the commercial street for one night, and then continue to find a way to leave until the daytime.

Those brown-robed things still didn't give up to surround them, Ye Yingzhi didn't dare to take it lightly, and didn't dare to open his mouth to speak.

Chi Yan was held in his arms by Ye Yingzhi, and he couldn't see the current situation, but he could guess that the situation was not optimistic based on the situation just now. He guessed that Ye Yingzhi should want to go back - this is the only A more feasible option. Therefore, he didn't move, and cooperated with Ye Yingzhi to step back, until Ye Yingzhi let go of his waist and turned to hold his hand, he raised his head, turned around and ran towards the commercial street together with the other party. go.

The brown-robed man couldn't leave the street. After Chi Yan and Ye Yingzhi ran away, they could only stand at the street corner howling angrily, stomping their feet angrily, and then they dispersed unwillingly until they lost hope. Soon he returned to his own territory and began to greedily eat the soup in his own pot.

The pirate captain doll stood at the end of the commercial street, still looking at them with a smile, as if he had expected this result.

Chi Yan pointed to a shop on the left: "Yeah, I'll run here in a while, distract it away, and take the opportunity to get rid of it."

Ye Yingzhi held his hand and nodded. There is no need to say more between the two, they can understand each other's meaning.

As soon as they entered the commercial street, the puppets really slid towards them with a copper hammer, as if they were not going to let them go easily this time.

Chi Yan squeezed Ye Yingzhi's hand, and quickly ran in the pre-agreed direction, and stopped under the eaves of the store in one breath. The bronze doll really hesitated, but quickly chose to chase in the direction of Chi Yan—but when Chi Yan entered the range of the store, it stopped outside the store and stopped chasing.

This gave Ye Yingzhi an opportunity. He took out the corrosive potion he bought from the demon store and quickly sprinkled it on the pulley under the doll.

The pulley was corroded, and the reacted doll turned 180 degrees directly on the roulette, looking at the human in front of him with a grim expression, and the huge copper hammer immediately slammed into the back of the opponent's head without hesitation.

Chi Yan looked at her lover's figure nervously, and felt her throat tighten, for fear that the doll's copper hammer would be caught off guard, but she didn't notice that a white sleeve was silently stretched out from the store behind, and suddenly The trouble wrapped around his wrist, and before he had time to react, he instantly pulled him into the dark shop.

At the same time as the copper hammer fell, Ye Yingzhi immediately raised his head, put his hands on his back, and leaned back. When he was about to withdraw his legs, the metal eyes of the puppet and his dark eyes met together—the pair of metal sculpted His pupils turned humanely twice, and the heavy copper hammer half-human height stopped in mid-air. Next, the bronze man fell backwards without hesitation, as if he fainted.

Ye Yingzhi stood up on the ground for unknown reasons, and clapped the dust on his hands. Could it be that the corrosive potion directly corroded the core of this thing

Ye Yingzhi was still worried, and poured all the remaining corrosive potion on the puppet's wrist, until the wrist melted, he lifted his foot and kicked the copper hammer with his hand away, and then he was slightly relieved.

After doing all this, he raised his head and instinctively looked at his lover, and his expression changed immediately—the place where Ah Yan had just stood was now empty, only the dark shop door was wide open, as if the devil chose someone to bite him. 's mouth.

Ye Yingzhi frowned, and after looking around for a week, he stared at the door of the store again. He had a hunch that A Yan was likely to be in it.

He didn't hesitate any longer, and quickly strode into the store - there was no light in the store, it was dark. From the light at the door, it could be seen that this was a ready-to-wear store. Exquisite and gorgeous clothes. Ye Yingzhi's eyes swept around the storefront, and his expression changed again when he landed on the ground.

He quickly picked up the things on the ground - a simple white shirt and dark blue slacks, he would not admit it wrong, these were Ah Yan's clothes, and he put them on with his own hands in the morning. A feast is here.

Ye Yingzhi closed his eyes, straightened up with his lover's clothes in his hands, and swept the hanger in the center of the store to the ground without warning. The hanger made a loud noise when it hit the ground.

He opened his eyes, stood in the center of the store with a calm expression, looked ahead, and whispered, "Don't play tricks with me, return my Ayan."

At that moment, he only felt that his mind was blank, he couldn't remember anything, and he couldn't even tell who he was. There was only one thought in his mind, that is, to return his Ah Yan.

If the world dares to stop it, let the world be destroyed.

He didn't even notice that his shadow reflected on the floor of the store had changed silently - the long and powerful magic horns were slightly curved to the sides, and the huge bone wings stretched back, spanning the entire storefront. .

*****

Chi Yan fell into a semi-conscious state from the moment he was pulled into the store. He could only vaguely feel that all his clothes were taken off, and then another piece of clothes was put on his body.

He heard a soft and soft voice beside him: "This dress really suits him."

Then there were many echoing voices in my ears.

He thought of Ye Yingzhi and the heavy copper hammer that was about to fall. He wanted to struggle, but he only felt that his limbs were getting weaker and weaker, and his body was becoming more and more out of his control. He struggled desperately in consciousness, but his body gradually fell into dormancy.

It is the devil's new clothes, the clothes that will absorb the life and soul of people, once you put it on, you cannot take it off.

Until the end, the human body decays and dies, and there are no bones left, but the consciousness wakes up in the clothes - people become clothes, and "live" forever in the clothes.
