The story of the old skeleton Zackon is quite touching to a living person, but among the Forsaken, his experience may be the most inconspicuous one. It is difficult for a Forsaken who crawls out of the grave after falling down again. Going through a normal life journey, bright sunshine and joy rarely appear in their stories. The only consolation is that at least Zaken’s story has a relatively happy ending—for this person who only hopes to protect himself Daughter, a happy ending for the undead who lived with Nina.
"I'm very satisfied with my life now," Zackon twitched his slightly frayed wrist, stroking the little zombie's head, "It's much better than most dead people, and I've found a wife... "
I expressed moderate shock: I have heard the story of a dead tree that grows old in spring, but this is the first time I have seen a guy who never forgets to find a mother-in-law for himself after he dies. The life of Zacken, an old skeleton, after death It's really rich and colorful. Not only did you find your daughter back, but you also found yourself a wife? !
"Basali is a very understanding skeleton," Zaken scratched his skull a little embarrassedly, "her charming back molars deeply moved me: because she has no front teeth. Old Zaken felt that life The most worthwhile things are already fulfilled, a complete family and a job that fills you. Look, here's the sweater Bassari knitted for me—"
As Zaken said, he suddenly lifted his cloak to show off, revealing the "sweater of love" he was wearing. I saw that each of his 22 half ribs was covered with a woolen sleeve of just the right size, It seems that knitting a sweater for a skeleton is indeed a job that tests the spirit of innovation.
"I numbered every part of the sweater because every rib is a different size, Basally is really ingenious, but it's a bit of a hassle to wear this dress. There's a more innovative one that's been trending in skulls lately The sweater is made of ribs as the skeleton, and the wool is woven directly between the bones, just like a kite," the old skeleton muttered while lubricating his wrists. It’s very troublesome to take off the body afterwards, sometimes I envy and hate them, they only need to grow mushrooms on their bodies to make clothes.”
I am very pleased with the new life of the Forsaken described by Zaken, which is full of alternative joy, and sincerely wish them more joy in the long journey of waiting for death in the future, but considering that I and Qianqian still have to eat at noon, We'll stop listening: the chattering old skeleton is about to start talking about the latest pineapple-flavored preservative trend among zombies.
"Just like what we said before, the Forsaken should become a new race, just like living people, they also have their own culture and way of life," I said to Qianqian on the way out of the undead area, "Now It seems that the biggest change in the great fusion of the world should be this group of happy dead people."
Superficially and deeply agreeable, while turning his head to look at the unusual pair of father and daughter, the old Zacken is leading his zombie daughter back to the big crypt slowly, if not considering their current state and the corpses wandering around, this is indeed It is a very peaceful scene.
I and Qianqian didn't have a purposeful route, we just walked aimlessly through the assembly hall amidst the new ideas that this girl might have at any time, time passed quietly in this leisurely wandering, I don't know why , although the surroundings are bustling and noisy, but looking at the bright smile of the happy girl beside me, I feel a kind of tranquility spontaneously: Compared with the vigorous world expedition, the life of shopping with my girlfriend at home is still more interesting .
"Ah Jun, is there something on his face?" Qianqian noticed the gaze from the side, and immediately swallowed the mutton skewers in her mouth, and wiped the corners of her mouth with my oily hand, I helplessly said to her He smiled: "Not just now, but now it's all over his face."
"Hey," Qianqian understood, stuck out her tongue and licked the corner of her mouth, but found that the length was not enough, "Oh, I really envy the Wangcai next door when I was a child, it can bite."
Once again, I was defeated by a shallow worldview.
In the afternoon, we met Hakurei Reimu, who led a group of lively Gensokyo monsters out to participate in the festival celebration. She seemed to have completely forgotten her status as an urban management here, and instead took the tour guide job that should have been extra money as a On the job, when Qianqian and I approached quietly from behind, this red and white unscrupulous man was explaining the precautions for living in Shadow City to a group of monsters wearing Little Red Riding Hood in front of him.
"Ahem, since you have decided to live in Avalon, you will definitely come to Shadow City often, and you must keep in mind some precautions for living here," Lingmeng waving the small red flag in his hand shouted loudly, "The first One, you cannot fly at an altitude of more than 5,000 meters in the sky, because there are magical girls in the shadow city, which are dangerous creatures that can cruise at Mach 35 at high altitudes. Bump down. Second, you can’t set up a stall two hundred meters to the left and right of heaven. This is a profound lesson! Also, you can’t scribble at the gate of heaven, you can’t throw firecrackers into the messenger room in front of the goddess’ gate, you can’t Passing by the temple gate with a dragonfly-catching net, if you find a wild goddess, you must send it to the lost and found center in time, otherwise the goddess will bite you. Third, if you find someone violently destroying the vending machines on the street, please pay attention to the analysis The situation, if it was kicked with feet, it means that the emperor's sister wants to buy something, please pretend not to see it, if it was cut with a knife, it means a Vega is thirsty, please don't watch it for a long time, other than that Please contact the city management or the neighborhood committee, don’t seek justice yourself, there is a 60% to 70% chance that you ordinary monsters can’t beat Uncle Zhang who sells newspapers here. Fourth, Imperial Affairs College is the only imperial government here that is open to the outside world Departments directly under the central government, you can go in and visit, but never agree to the so-called "social practice volunteer" activities recommended by any of the clubs! Especially the clubs whose names sound normal, the more normal the club, the more dangerous it is! Especially the supernatural Research Institute and Biology Department! The fifth and most important one, please follow me: Urban management is the most powerful in the world... The unscrupulous boss who defaults on the wages of migrant workers deserves to be kicked to death by a hundred horses... "
No one responded. Strictly speaking, no one looked at Hakurei Reimu when she was halfway through her speech, and all eyes were on the back of this unscrupulous person. Only Kohaku herself still looked good appearance.
"Eh? What's the matter with you?" Reimu, who didn't know that disaster was imminent, asked in distress. The big bow on the back of her head ruined her last hope of finding her boss.
In the end, Marisa couldn't see it, and pointed to the back of Reimu: "Reimu, behind."
I put two choices in front of the doomsday-looking girl with no morals: either I will be stabbed by the hand, or I will deduct this month's bonus. The attitude of the other party is very firm: "You beat me to death!"
Saying goodbye to a group of happy monsters and a witch with a head full of armpits, the young couple of the head of state of the empire continued to wander in the gathering place that reverberated with the festive atmosphere of the last day of the carnival. At the end: the leisurely day passed by like this, and I finally enjoyed the good life that I had not seen for a long time. Although I knew that there were countless jobs waiting for me after the carnival was over, at least I had a good day today.
As night fell, the stages in the venue were dismantled one by one. Most of the tourists around me felt a little reluctant on their faces, but there is always a banquet in the world. I pulled Qianqian on the bench at the edge of the totem area Sitting snuggled up, the Prime Minister looked at the sunset that had been hanging in the sky for more than an hour, feeling filled with emotion.
"Shallow..."
"explain."
"Although I know you don't want it to end so early, but it's almost dark, right?"
"oh… "
The artificial sun that has been tossing for an hour has finally set successfully, and our queen of time can be regarded as letting it go. Qianqian did this every time she encountered something that she didn’t want to end early. The mass-produced hosts in Shadow City who were in charge of daily system maintenance really worked hard.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps sounded from beside me, and as soon as I turned my head to follow the sound, a black figure rushed towards me. The amazing reflexes honed by practicing all kinds of grappling and fighting with the Xue girl all the year round broke out smoothly at this moment, and I subconsciously I stretched out my hand to block, and shoved the black shadow out—but I realized it in less than a tenth of a millisecond, and rushed over with the shadow sideways, and after all, I couldn't save this regrettable mistake. In the end we returned to the bench with teeth marks on our heads, the mercury lamp sat on my shoulders, and the little mouth was still tirelessly gnawing on my father's head.
"I let you throw me, I let you throw me!"
The little princess bit her scalp crunchy, and murmured vaguely.
"Just now when I saw that the sun didn't set, I guessed that Qianqian was making trouble again," the elder sister smiled and walked over, followed by a large group of family members, "I didn't expect it to end so soon, It's really a pity."
"I wanted to go home to call you, but I didn't expect you all to come." I put a helmet on my head, and the mercury lamp immediately hit me with my fist, and finally I could only clamp this awkward little guy in the arms In the nest, "Anveena? Even you came out?"
"Because... because it is the last day of the festival, the master will definitely find us out," the little ghost hid among the crowd, watching the dense flow of people coming and going at the fairground with anxiety, "Mistress Sandora said today There will be a fireworks show at night, Anveena likes fireworks!"
Qianqian immediately called out: "Fireworks show!? Why didn't I know?"
"Thank you for delaying it for more than an hour." I squinted at the other party, "Because the fireworks show is a popular way of celebration in many worlds, the fireworks are scheduled to be set off after sunset, but the control department should still be busy now Check the watch for the host, why are your shots always indiscriminate!"
Because of her rash actions, the girl who had her favorite fireworks delayed for more than an hour suddenly lowered her head in frustration, but after only a moment of disappointment, she slapped her head: "Isn't it just delayed by an hour! Look at me!"
"Don't—" I just had time to speak, when I saw that the sky instantly changed from the dark blue of the sunset to a thick night, Bubble shouted from the spiritual connection: "My child's father! Can you let Qianqian rest?" I just set my watch right here! You have to keep the lights on when you set off fireworks, it’s okay if it’s not dark!”
Under shallow tossing, the fireworks show that was about to start was postponed for a while, and the Shadow City Brood had to hurriedly correct the parameter chaos caused by abnormal time distortion, waiting for the night Visitors to the show from all over the world are very confused by the convulsive changes in the sky—because Qianqian is just changing the time flow of the artificial sky, but forcibly cutting the time connection between the sky and the ground, such a random behavior Not only did the poor Bubble need to increase massive calculations to buffer various errors, but it also confused the onlookers below who didn't know the truth. Everyone speculated whether the recent policy of power cuts, energy saving and emission reduction caused the shortage of lighting in the capital of the empire. : You see, without even a little warning, it jumped from dusk to night and then from night to night.
But when the first fireworks suddenly pierced the night sky and bloomed brilliantly above everyone's heads, no one cared about the dialectical relationship between the setting sun and the power cut. The long-awaited fireworks show marks the end of the carnival, but it is also the last day of the entire celebration. Visitors from all worlds gather together at this time to participate in this last link. Visitors in folk costumes and in all kinds of strange shapes looked up at the brilliance of the sky at the same time, and cheered endlessly like waves.
Even citizens of the macro world who have seen fireworks in their own world are amazed by the magnificent fireworks in front of them. This "primitive entertainment method" has been slightly improved by several Xiling technicians who are interested in the local culture of the earth. They became even more unbelievable. I saw that the giant fireworks that rose into the sky not only turned into brilliant flower shapes in a bang, but some even turned into lifelike three-dimensional pictures and lines of clear text.
Many of those pictures are iconic things in a certain world, they are all lucky ones selected at random, and the words are phrases we collected from every visitor of this carnival, which were also randomly screened and made into A huge firework was set off, and when a line of "bless my sister Fanny" exploded in the sky, I heard shouts of surprise not far away.
When the volunteers asked each visitor to enter a line of phrases on their ID cards, they didn't tell the tourists what the phrases would be used for, so now it's a huge surprise, line by line Words full of blessings were set off in the sky, causing continuous cheers and shouts of surprise. Everyone hoped that they would be lucky enough to be selected, and the selected guy shouted excitedly. At the end, the organizing committee Even a large number of medical staff had to be dispatched to do cardiopulmonary resuscitation everywhere. The sales of Shadow City Suxiao Jiuxin Pills hit a record high tonight.
Deafening cheers reverberated around, pushing the atmosphere of the fireworks show to the climax. People hugged each other, blessed each other, and made an appointment to meet each other again at the second carnival five years later, and cordially invited friends from other worlds to join us As guests around the world, they exchanged their addresses and zip codes enthusiastically, exchanged mobile phones and management account numbers, and promised to keep in touch online in the future. A non-governmental selection team popped up at some point. This group of uncles and aunts The group began to comment on the fireworks set off in the sky, and quickly selected various awards such as "the most creative message", "the most ordinary message", "the most cheating message", and "the most unlucky message". The reply to the message can be seen", the most ordinary message is "I like leek eggs", the most cheating message is "It is said that there is no character limit in this input field, I don't know if it is true", the most unlucky message is "Marriage: 1371352"—this The grandson didn't let his wife beat him to death.
Of course, as the fireworks show continues, these message awards are also constantly refreshed. It is indeed a wise move to call for essays without prior notice. It has brought unspeakable joy to the general public, especially when a poor child After typing out the password of my bank card account number...
Of course, such a happy event would not be possible without the participation of the more joyful family of the head of state. Pandora and Viska are preparing their own small fireworks in the open space next to them: they lined up more than 200 individual cannons in two rows on the ground, Excitedly ready to detonate, of course, was successfully stopped.
An Weina looked excitedly at the ball of light in the sky, and after a while, she simply soared into the sky, as if she was planning to embrace the splendor—but just as she was flying, she was knocked down by the second kick thrown by Wugeng Liuli not far away.
The Mercury Lamp asked for three "big thunderbolts" from someone, two of them exploded on my head, and the remaining little puppet dared not let it go, so it was eaten by Sandora.
Little Pao Pao went out for a walk, and when he came back, he was holding a smoking Thunderbolt in his hand—this one was finally blown up in my hand.
Cui Xingshi and several other puppet girls fought together against a giant firework that was three meters long and weighed hundreds of catties. It must have been snatched from the goblin area not far away. The mischievous Cui Xingshi ordered the fireworks to be turned upside down I placed it, sat on the fireworks by myself, and wanted to see if I could launch myself out. I tried my best to stop the action of the ignorant puppet, but at this time, the chickberry had already ignited: the surging flame blasted me in the face, and then the fireworks rushed Go out and blow up Cu Chulainn who is on patrol.
At the beginning, Qianqian just yelled happily, but soon she creatively proposed to use the anti-aircraft artillery to shoot a "starry sky" into the sky to see if she can still see it on the ground, because of the girl's god-like speed of movement , even my elder sister didn't have time to stop her. Later we found out that the sky full of stars shot out by anti-aircraft guns was really hard to see on the ground, but Raven 001, who happened to be patrolling in the sky, observed the fireworks at close range. She thought that fireworks were quite painful, especially when they were protected by air defense When the cannon hits.
Lin Xue kept chattering by the side, telling me what the next firework that was supposed to be a surprise would be like ten seconds in advance. In the end, my elder sister had to use tape to cast a big silence spell on her.
Sandora said that she is very satisfied with the entertainment products such as "fireworks and firecrackers" invented by humans, especially their taste-the image of this girl chewing half of a "charizard" and constantly smoking is very impressive. Here It needs to be pointed out that the big fire-breathing fire was finally bitten by Sandora, and finally sprayed on my face.
Carnival ended in such a happy atmosphere, I couldn't make it to the closing speech because of the color of my head - the only thing to be happy about after being bombarded by happy girls... RO
