He was sitting in a wooden wheelchair, his body was much thinner than ordinary people, his face was also pale, but his eyelashes were black, revealing a frightening contrast of color.
The hand was released from the tablet, and he sank into the wheelchair, raised his head slightly, and looked at the person in front of him.
Kou Dong is still a child in stature, even standing up is not much taller than him sitting. The young man stared at him intently, his focus was chilling, and immediately, he suddenly said: "Come forward."
Kou Dong didn't respond yet, but the big-headed doll behind him shivered and pushed him forward.
"This is new here," he timidly explained to the boy, "just arrived two days ago..."
This sentence is more like explaining something, as if trying to escape. The young man glanced at him, his voice was faint, and he couldn't tell whether it was anger or joy: "Since he's here, you haven't noticed it yet?"
After hearing this, the big-headed baby was even more shocked, and fell to his knees with a plop. He swallowed, and hurriedly said: "He is older. He—he is not only three or four years old—"
The young man laughed, but didn't answer this question, he just gently stroked the side of the child's face with his hand.
From the chin, to the cheeks. He stroked every place very lightly and delicately, and finally his palm moved upwards, slowly covering Kou Dong's eyes.
There was no warmth in that hand, and the excited Kou Dong shivered slightly.
The beauty snake called out, sir, in a low voice, as if hesitating. The boy is clearly young, but they all yelled this very smoothly, there is no reluctance, but they seem to be used to it.
"Sir, he's not that age... Besides, he's just been brought in, with a father and a mother—"
He didn't say the remaining half of the sentence, this is definitely not the person the young man in front of him is looking for. In his opinion, the young man seemed to have gone crazy because he couldn't find it, and now he said yes when he saw someone with similar eyebrows and eyes.
The smile of the person in front of him deepened. He didn't turn his head to look at the beauty snake, but said: "Do you think I'm crazy?"
The Beauty Snake immediately stood with her head bowed, and said in a low voice, "Don't dare."
"It's nothing to dare." The boy said, but asked Kou Dong, "What's your name?"
Before Kou Dong could answer, he replied, "Wrong. Naturally, you should be called Nannan."
"Ninny..."
He pressed his palms closer to the young man, feeling the tender flesh, and finally slowly hooked the corners of his lips.
"Okay," he said in a low voice, "that's great."
Xiao Yu looked left and then right, it was already very unbelievable, and after a long while, he said in a low voice: "Do you know each other?"
Kou Dong didn't care about her questions, but just stared at the NPC in front of him.
this person-
He had a very strong intuition, and told him almost loudly in his heart that this was Xiao Shuanzi.
So here comes the question, if this is Xiao Shuanzi, how can I take him out of Taoyuan Town together
His eyes slowly slipped down, first he glanced at the opponent's non-existent legs: "..."
Could it be that he ran with the person and the wheelchair in his arms
Is it so exciting?
The young man also noticed his gaze, but he didn't care, he just said: "I'm scaring my daughter."
Both trouser legs were empty.
"Don't be afraid," said the young man, patted his arm lightly, "If you are afraid, I will let them install two."
Kou Dong: "..."
Brother, what you said is a bit creepy, it’s just a prosthesis, why do you use the posture of sawing off a living person’s leg and putting it back on...
He endured this horrific feeling of panic, and reluctantly followed their address: "Sir?"
"Ok."
"I still have two friends," Kou Dong whispered, "We agreed to meet later, and we have to go back by carriage... I'm afraid they will be in a hurry..."
The boy let go of his hand slightly, and asked, "Hongxiao?"
The beauty snake wagged its thin tail and responded.
"Bring the rest," said the boy, leaning back on the wheelchair, "I'll see you too."
He didn't mean to let Kou Dong go.
A few minutes later, Kou Dong saw a familiar figure walking in from the door. Ah Xue and Song Hong had been collecting money at the door, but they were called over suddenly, still a little dazed, not knowing what happened. When he saw the boy sitting in the wheelchair and Kou Dong being dragged by him, his face was even more confused.
Who is this
Where did this NPC suddenly appear
There was no time to hide their expressions, and the boy in front of them took a serious look. The young man didn't care too much, he just said: "Are you friends of Nannan?"
Song Hong: "..."
Ashue: "..."
What girl
Where is the plot?
The little girl was alert, glanced at Kou Dong, had a vague guess in her heart, she bowed her head and answered yes. The boy looked at them again, saying that he was looking at them, but he didn't really look directly at them, he just swept them roughly from head to toe.
"Then stay," he said lightly, "you don't need to go there."
The beauty snake responded, but still obviously hesitated, "Sir, but where are those beasts..."
"As long as three," the young man looked a little impatient, "tell them, the others don't care, only these three—I can keep them."
The beauty snake said: "Yes."
He shut his mouth and didn't speak anymore.
Kou Dong had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but he couldn't open his mouth because of the crowd of people and ghosts in front of him.
"Let's go," the boy said to him, "I've reserved a room with you—you go and see if you like it."
The beauty snake clapped her hands, and everyone dispersed like birds. Song Hong hesitated on the spot for a while, hesitating to follow, but was pulled back by the big-headed baby.
Facing these two, his attitude was not as friendly as he was toward Kou Dong, and he frowned.
"What are you going to do?"
Song Hong was startled, and explained: "The three of us are together, I'm a little worried..."
"Don't worry."
The big-headed doll's head roughly blocked his sight, and said, "Don't piss off Mr.—go, go!"
Song Hong had no choice but to be kicked out by the NPC. When he got to the door, he finally couldn't help but look back, only to see the boy in the wheelchair holding Kou Dong's hand tightly, leading him slowly to the depths of the white mist.
What is the situation
He asked the little girl in a low voice, "What do you think? This is unusual."
At least here in Song Hong's place, it's really unheard and unseen. He knew that this game had a special preference for Kou Dong, but he never thought that he would like it to this extent.
How to put it - if Kou Dong is not a player, it seems to be written into the plot of the dungeon.
It's still a high-level plot like the boss's White Moonlight, which takes advantage of all the advantages.
The little girl sat down on the steps in front of Zhu's door, she was calmer than him, "Normal."
Song Hong: "Where is it normal?"
He was scruples about the rules, he didn't dare to talk about the game, he just pointed at the top, "It looks like something went wrong."
The little girl said: "This matter is not normal, but it is normal for him."
She paused before saying, "We've talked about this before."
The two of them are different from Kou Dong. Kou Dong and them only met each other in the game, but they didn't know each other in reality; Song Hong and A Xue knew each other in real life, and they knew each other's family situation and real identity clearly.
After coming out of the copy of Siren, when they got together to review the plot, they mentioned the special nature of youth.
It's just that it was special at that time, not as eye-catching as before, more like the NPCs paid special attention to him. At that time, Song Hong thought that the reason why Kou Dong's operation was so unexpected that he caused hatred was simply two words, absorbing monsters.
But this time, it's not called special attention at all, it's just a shining display—even a side plot is related to him.
This game didn't even intend to hide his eccentricity at all, and directly put the word eccentricity on the facade.
Song Hong sighed lightly.
"It's really enviable to say that," he said in a low voice, "Even if something goes wrong, they won't kill you..."
But Ah Xue said, "Can it really be considered a good thing?"
She paused, and then said: "Being dragged in by a mermaid to make a nest, laying eggs for him day and night-is it a good thing?"
Song Hong shivered slightly before he remembered this matter.
"Of course not." The straight man of steel replied from the bottom of his heart, "In this case, he might as well be dead."
A Xue said: "I think it is quite necessary, so that you will know that it is hard for women to have children."
Song Hong got an arrow in the chest, and said helplessly: "There's no need to open a map gun... Not all men are straight men, okay?"
He thought carefully and frowned again.
"That's a strange thing to say," he whispered, bringing the subject back to business. "They love him and want to torture him—"
This attitude is too different.
The little girl hung her legs and did not tell what she had seen about "that young man" mentioned on the forum.
If it's what she thinks...
I'm afraid the young man is not just the key to unlock a few dungeons.
He is also the key to unlocking the mystery of the entire "Dead Man" game.
The key himself followed the NPC in the wheelchair and was taken all the way in. Only then did he realize that the room where he thought there was only an altar was actually quite deep, and there was another door at the end, which opened into a new room.
There was no one in the room, but there was no dust to be seen, and it was swept clean. There is a lot of furniture inside, and what is on the table is dazzling golden.
The Beauty Snake followed them in, and said to Kou Dong, "These are all high-quality willows..."
He flicked the table lightly with his tail.
Kou Dong touched it, the wood was fine and delicate, and there was a faint fragrance.
"The ones on the table were all prepared for you by the master in the past," the beauty snake said to him, which had been changed to an honorific at some point, "every year, the master will buy a carload of toys..."
Only then did Kou Dong see clearly that there were some objects on the table. Rattle drums, exquisitely made rabbit lanterns, grasshoppers crafted by some old man. There are also many gold and jade ornaments, wearing gold and painting colors, carving dragons and phoenixes, and you can tell at a glance that they are of extraordinary value.
I don't know where I got it from, but I actually gathered a table full of it.
"And this," said the beauty snake, "Sir, you like to collect stones—"
Odd-shaped stones, packed in a delicate box.
But the boy stretched out his hand and knocked over the box all at once.
Kou Dong: "... ???"
He looked at the other party incomprehensibly, why did he throw things when he disagreed
The boy in the wheelchair said, "Throw it away."
He said lightly: "My daughter's eyes would glow when she saw these things - but now, she doesn't like it."
Kou Dong secretly marveled at his keenness, and looked at his cub with some vigilance.
He added: "Just growing up."
When I grow up, it's normal not to like the things I liked when I was a child.
The boy nodded, and he didn't seem to care, "No problem. Let them buy what you like."
Kou Dong suddenly had the illusion of being taken care of by the domineering president...
The boy seemed very tired, and after talking to him, he went out in the wheelchair. Kou Dong was alone in the room, taking the opportunity to try to ask the beauty snake something, but the other party just shook his head, and said after a long time: "Even if you recognize the wrong person, you can't tell."
Kou Dong said, "Why?"
The beauty snake said: "Humans and ghosts are the same, they all have to rely on a thought. If the thought is gone, there is no meaning."
After he finished this sentence, he sighed softly again, and babbled and sang the two most well-known lines in the Peony Pavilion, "Love doesn't know where it started, but it goes deep..."
That night, Kou Dong couldn't go back. There was no word from anyone over there, and the kidnapper seemed to acquiesce in the fact that the circus had detained people.
Kou Dong discussed with Ye Yanzhi, and the more he thought about it, the weirder he felt.
The circus should have been owned by the kidnapper, but now it seems that the kidnapper who lives in this house has nothing to do with it, and Xiao Shuanzi is in charge instead.
Even if Xiao Shuanzi had a deep hatred, he should be targeting the kidnappers, why would he help the kidnappers to torture these children
And make them monsters that are neither human nor ghost
He originally thought that this meant that the circus and kidnappers were also in the same gang. But listening to what the beautiful snake said that day, when it called each other, it seemed disgusting, and it was called a beast.
That's not a good name.
Ye Yanzhi was silent for a while, then said, "They should hate kidnappers very much."
Kou Dong also nodded.
"It stands to reason that it should be so. But they didn't do anything, which means that there is something they are afraid of in the kidnapper."
"What is it?"
He thought about it carefully. The members of these circuses have all become ghosts. There are things that make them jealous, fearful, and afraid to act...
He trembled suddenly, suddenly came to his senses, and blurted out: "It's a skeleton!"
Ye Yanzhi was also taken aback.
"It should be bones!" Kou Dong said, "Think about it, what else can ghosts be afraid of? Apart from gods and Buddhas, only their bones are left—that's their excuse."
"We didn't see anything related to gods and Buddhas over there and here. What's more, what those gangsters did was not human affairs, and there is no way they will be blessed by gods and Buddhas."
"Then there are only bones. They were originally in the circus, and after they died, the kidnappers must have handled the corpses. But for some reason, they didn't go to the underworld after they died, but turned into ghosts and stayed in the circus. In this circus—want revenge but can’t, but the kidnapper is still afraid of them and dare not refuse their request!”
The more he spoke, the clearer his thoughts became, and he clapped his hands suddenly.
"So, just steal their bones—they'll have their revenge!"
The villain sat on his shoulder and nodded seriously, "It makes sense."
There's just one thing wrong with it.
Members of these circuses can also find kidnappers for revenge.
The child who was turned into a monster by these members, who should seek revenge
This thought made Ye Yanzhi's eyes darken. But he didn't tell Kou Dong about such worries.
Kou Dong said: "Then next, we have to confirm whether there are really bones."
He told the other two of his conjectures, and both Song Hong and A Xue were shocked. Without further ado, the three of them discussed it and decided to look for it first today.
But just as Kou Dong was walking towards the door, a strong and strong gatekeeper blocked his way and asked in a rough voice, "Master, where are you going?"
Kou Dong: "... I have something urgent, I have to go out to do it."
As he spoke, he tried to sneak under the opponent's arm. But the janitor was nimble, he carried him with one hand, and then put him back in the door, as if he was carrying a thin chicken. He said gloomyly: "If you have anything to do, you can order someone to do it, you don't need to go out in person."
Kou Dong stared at him.
"Can't you really get out?"
Gatekeeper: "No."
Kou Dong: "..."
As a young master, he has no personal freedom.
It's frustrating.
Song Hong and A Xue stood outside the door, looking at him. Song Hong said: "What should we do? Otherwise, the two of us will go there first?"
He actually hoped that Kou Dong would go with him. With the other party around, at least the people from the circus will cover them, which is a kind of protection for the three of them.
If it's just the two of them who went there and were discovered, I'm afraid it won't do much good, and they might draw another round of wooden dummy.
but…
He looked at Kou Dong with hesitation. Kou Dong also thought of this, and said, "No, I have to go."
Song Hong looked at him speechlessly: "..."
how to get to
Kou Dong thought for a while, stomped his feet, and asked the gatekeeper, "Will you let me go out?"
The gatekeeper didn't answer this time, and just put his arm heavily in the air, with a clear attitude.
Kou Dong sighed, "It will be done."
When he said that, several people thought he was going to give up. Unexpectedly, his next sentence was followed by: "Then I will cry."
Everyone present: "...?"
cry
Kou Dong stretched out his hand and twisted his body vigorously. At this time, he was still a child's body, and his skin was extraordinarily tender, with red marks when he pinched it. Soon, tears accumulated in his eyes, and he was sobbing, looking like a poor little boy.
"Wow..." Kou Dong raised his voice and wept earth-shatteringly, "Wow wow, he won't let me go out wow wow!"
Watchmen:"… "
Song Hong and the two: "..."
Ye Yanzhi: "..."
What kind of coquettish operation is this, can you still act like a baby with NPC like this!
Ye Yanzhi didn't go through the first dungeon, and he didn't know that Kou Dong could play like this. Kou Dong didn't have the slightest psychological burden. First of all, it's not that he and his godfather have never cried before. How do you say that? The first time is raw and the second time is cooked.
Second, he is still a child. What's wrong with the baby crying? How normal! It's weird if you don't cry, okay
If you encounter something that you can't solve by yourself, you should sue your parents—what can you do if you put such a thick golden thigh in front of your eyes
Thinking of this, Kou Dong cried louder. With his voice, he successfully called out everyone in the regiment. The beauty snake and the big-headed doll were at the front, and the human bear and vase man behind... Wu Yangyang stood together and asked him what was wrong. Kou Dong just shook his head and didn't speak until he heard the sound of the wheelchair rumbling and the people standing in front scattered away to make room for this person, then he rushed forward suddenly, feeling wronged and lying on the armrest of the wheelchair .
Hug the thigh, of course you have to hug the one with the highest gold content.
Kou Dong knew this well, opened his mouth and said, "Sir..."
He only yelled a little, and then he seemed to be aggrieved, and he didn't utter a word. Just bury your face on the armrest.
The boy frowned slightly, raised his chin with his fingers, and stared at him.
"You cried."
His words were full of the posture of the rain coming, the gatekeeper was startled, his legs and feet were already weak, and he suddenly fell to his knees on the ground.
The boy said: "What's going on?"
Kou Dong didn't say a word for a long time, and when he asked again, he whispered: "Sir let me live here, is it because he wants to lock me up?"
The boy's jaw tightened. After a while, he said calmly, "Why do you ask that?"
Kou Dong whispered, "He refused to let me go out..."
He lifts his face up. The child's face was plump and flawless, with powder puffs on his face, black and round eyes, and his whole body seemed to be kneaded out of soft dough. He poked a small hole, "I... can't I go out?"
This glance made Song Hong jump unconsciously.
The boy's fingers tightened a little, and he asked, "Do you want to go out?"
He seemed to see the kid who was only as tall as his knees back then, holding his hand and talking to him in a childish voice to go out.
At that time he did not hinder. He thought that he was enough to protect his daughter.
later…
His eyes were getting darker, and his teeth were clenched.
Later, he realized how completely wrong he was.
Since then, he has made up his mind.
He would never, never could—
Then let her take half a step away from his protection.
For some reason, after asking this sentence, Kou Dong saw a look of ruthlessness on the face of the man in the wheelchair. The beauty snake sensed something, stalked over lowly, and said something.
The boy listened and finally nodded.
"Can."
Kou Dong was overjoyed, "Can I go out?"
"—Yes." The young man completed the words, "but you must be with me."
He glanced at the beauty snake.
Kou Dong was a little surprised, it was different from what he thought. But thinking about it again, since he was going to see the skeleton, he wasn't afraid to take him with him.
From this perspective, the two sides should be regarded as comrades-in-arms in the same trench.
With that in mind, he agreed. Someone had already driven the carriage, and carefully put the boy and his wheelchair on top. Kou Dong and the others got into the car and lowered the curtain.
The beauty snake watched them go away from the same place, and when the car was no longer visible, she heard the big-headed doll beside her whisper: "How did you persuade Mr.?"
They all know what that person thinks. Gold chains, white jade rings—after finding the child, the man never wanted to help him, but to lock him up.
Locked him, in that room, on the bed. From then on, day and night, even half an hour, I couldn't leave his side.
—This is sir.
The beauty snake shook her head, and said slowly, "I didn't say anything."
He looked at the clear sky and murmured: "I just told him that I want to lock up the birds..."
"At least let it see what the sky looks like."
