Even though Gu Huaiyu was calm again, when she saw the scene in front of her, her heart fluctuated a lot.
Originally, they walked in the direction where the smell came from An Jiu said, but not long after they entered the lane, they saw a faint light from a distance, which was different from the light coming out of the ball.
Extremely faint, like a lamp in the dark night.
Walking in the direction of the fire, a thin figure shrank on the edge of the wall, holding a match that emitted a faint light in his hand.
Seeing this scene, Gu Huaiyu felt as though he was suffocated for a moment. For some reason, there suddenly flashed in his mind the content of the novel that he had seen Meng Xiaotao read by chance.
"Woman, you're playing with fire." Gu Huaiyu's words made him very scared, let alone An Jiu in her arms.
"Meow! Boss Gu, what's wrong with you? Have you read Meng Xiaotao's novel?" An Jiu reacted instantly.
Gu Huaiyu smiled awkwardly, "I just caught a glimpse."
Because the clip at that time was very strange, Gu Huaiyu was usually nothing, but in this situation, he would always be unable to resist crosswords.
The figure shivering in the corner was about to be shocked by her words, until the match went out without responding.
After a long time, the figure looked a little thin, and his voice tremblingly asked, "Sister, do you buy matches?"
Gu Huaiyu hesitated for a moment, then paused, "How do you sell this match?"
The situation here cannot be solved with money, so she wants to know what conditions the other party will propose.
"Kacha." A match was lit, illuminating the thin figure.
The little girl pulled up the cap on her head, revealing a little dirty face.
"Matches can be given to you, but I only have one request." The little girl said in a tired voice, "If you promise to help me send her away from this place, then these matches can be given to you."
Gu Huaiyu looked at the little girl with some playfulness, and was not surprised that she would make this request.
"Okay, I promise you."
After accepting it, the little girl gave her all the matches left in her hand, and then turned and left.
Looking at the other's thin back, Gu Huaiyu asked, "She is worth it? Don't regret it?"
The little girl stopped, as if she was answering her words, and as if she was telling herself, "I don't regret it, it's worth it. It's all my fault." After speaking, the little girl continued to walk towards the dark alley. , But disappeared in the blink of an eye.
An Jiu licked his own claws idly, "Boss Gu, do you know her?"
Gu Huaiyu chuckled slightly, "Didn't you meet her."
"Meow? I've seen it? Which one?"
"you guess."
Gu Huaiyu left such a sentence, and An Jiu guessed his head almost knotted and didn't even think of it.
Seeing that she couldn't think of it, An Jiu pestered Gu Huaiyu, wanting her to give herself a hint.
But until they returned to the dance hall again, Gu Huaiyu did not tell him.
The door of the prom hall was opened again, and the goal was still the group of dancers and musicians who were expressionless, like dolls.
They still kept the appearance of Gu Huaiyu when he went out, looking intently at the door, like a group of soulless dolls.
But when Gu Huaiyu went back, the dance music played again, and the dancers continued to dance their sweet waltz.
The male dancer who had previously invited her extended his hand to her again and made an inviting gesture.
Gu Huaiyu looked at the other party's outstretched hand, his lips raised slightly, revealing a sweet but nasty smile.
She whispered to the male dancer in front of her, "I gave you a gift, I hope you will like it." When the words fell, the raging flame burned, and it instantly surrounded the entire ball hall.
The people in the hall didn't seem to feel these hot flames, and they still danced sweet waltz until the flames jumped to the hem of their skirts and the corners of their clothes, until they were all wrapped up, and there was nothing left.
Gu Huaiyu walked out of the ball and stood at the gate.
Watching the flames envelop the whole house, the burning flames dyed the dark night sky red.
Suddenly, the sky seemed like a hole was broken, and fragments were falling continuously from above, and then soon piles of fragments fell from the sky.
A black ball seemed to want to look inside the broken hole, wondering what happened.
As soon as they looked at the black ball, Gu Huaiyu and An Jiu escaped from that absurd and weird world in the next instant.
Xiao Qian looked anxiously at the music box in his hand.
Most of the music box was swallowed by the flame, and if Xiao Qian continued to hold it, the flame would definitely burn her.
But when she was asked to throw the music box away, she really refused.
The music box made the final sound of music with a click.
"... the birds in the cage all the time... don't want to come out... click... come out."
Xiaoqian fell to the ground with red tears ticking, murmured constantly in her mouth, "What to do, what to do, don't you even want me."
Gu Huaiyu held An Jiu and stood aside.
She had guessed that it was the music box that trapped them, and now it seems to be the case.
The little bear who was put aside by Xiaoqian was splashed by sparks from the music box from time to time. Soon, the flame spread to the little bear.
The little bear, who was gradually enveloped in flames, did not make any resistance, but kept dripping with red beads in his eyes.
It's crackling.
Crisp and heartbreaking.
"Xiao Qian...I'm sorry, I can't accompany you...I can't stay here to accompany you..." Little Bear said intermittently, even trying to stretch out his own bear claws and touch the other person.
But Xiao Qian, who hung himself on the music box, ignored her, until the little bear was burned to a pile of ashes by the flames, and could not get a look from the other party.
The ruthless flame eventually swallowed all the music box, but Xiao Qian couldn't stand the burning sensation, and finally the music box fell to the ground.
Xiao Qian seemed to be unable to bear it anymore. At this moment, she was like a helpless child, looking at the disappearing music box, crying loudly.
An Jiu couldn't bear it when he saw it, and he turned his head and said, "Boss Gu, would it be too much for us to do this." Anyway, the other party is just a young child.
If you want to calculate it carefully, Xiao Qian would probably call them their ancestors.
Gu Huaiyu sighed. In fact, she didn't want to do this, but she promised that if she didn't do this, not only would she not be able to get out, but Xiao Qian would continue to stay in this place, harming others and herself.
The last gleam of fire disappeared, and Xiao Qian stopped howling and crying, as if he had grown up in an instant.
She carefully collected the remains of the music box, and when she was about to put it in the jar, she was taken aback for a moment when she saw the small pile of ashes next to her, and she looked around, suddenly as if she had understood something. of.
Tears ticked down.
In an instant, she lost two friends.
