I Was Once a Legend

The doll's room is the last in a series of rooms. Walking out of the unlocked wooden door, Cui Zuojing squinted his eyes in the warm sunlight, and raised his hand to block the excessively dazzling light.

There was a lot of noise, and they seemed to be on the streets of a small town. Most of the houses beside the road had only two floors. The ground floor was used as a storefront, and the upper floor was used for living.

There are all kinds of dolls walking on the street, such as Duck, Mickey Mouse, Barbie, Pikachu, Dumbo... There are also many dolls that Dong Zheng can't name, all of them are alive, and their behavior is basically the same as that of ordinary people.

"Now this is the Doll's House," Allen said in a low voice.

At this time, the task interface of the four people was updated to [Guarding the Heaven] at the same time. Before they understood what it meant, they saw the little yellow chicken who was walking towards him suddenly widened his eyes and gasped, with one wing covering his mouth. , the other wing pointed at them and shouted: "There are people here!"

Suddenly the whole street became quiet, all the dolls stopped what they were doing, and looked at them in unison, their eyes were full of panic, Dong Zheng clearly saw the flash of resentment in the little yellow chicken's Doudou eyes Pass.

Cui Zuojing took a step back and said softly "Wow", only Dong Zheng heard it.

"Someone actually came in!"

"My God, get them out of here!"

At first it was just one cry, and finally the shouts continued. The strong tiger figurine stepped forward vigilantly and said sharply: "Get out! You are not welcome here!"

There are too many dolls around, and if there is a conflict, it will definitely not be good. Dong Zheng frowned and tried his best to negotiate, but the tiger didn't even give him a chance to speak, and rushed up to make a move.

In the distance, a brown bear and a gray wolf waited and watched. Dong Zheng was very sure that once they made any resistance, the two dolls would rush over immediately.

Dong Zheng turned around decisively and said, "Let's go!"

No one raised any objection, and they all turned around and ran away. Fortunately, the other dolls did not step forward to stop them, but just stared at them with resentful and fearful eyes, and stared at them closely.

This place looks like a market. The street is very narrow. After a few turns, a group of people rushed into an alley. There was a shop on the side of the street. All the dolls who came out of it were holding masks. Dong Zheng guessed that it was a mask shop. With a wave of his hand, he slowly slowed down and walked into the store.

The wind chimes at the door jingled. Dong Zheng casually touched the button of the mask of the faceless man on the shelf at the door. Time hadn't figured them out yet.

Except for Victor, the rest of the people also took pleasing masks to cover their human facial features.Cui Zuojing picked out a black Phantom of the Opera mask and looked in the mirror expressionlessly, feeling like a killer with no emotions, amused by himself.

A doll took the selected mask to the counter to check out, seeing it took out a few buttons from its pocket as currency and handed it to the shopkeeper, Dong Zheng was relieved.

In his pocket was a bag of buttons that he got after buying the bean paste shortbread for the female ghost, which happened to come in handy now.Dong Zheng turned around and wanted everyone to put on their masks as well, and suddenly put his face on V for Vendetta, and was shocked.

Allen laughed and said, "Sorry, I didn't mean it."

Lin Hangzhi took a bull's head and deliberately lowered his voice, "The bull warrior will never take off his mask!"

Dong Linhai is playing with the two small ears on the top of Batman's head.Dong Zheng squeezed his eyebrows worriedly, and went to the counter to pay.

The owner of the little raccoon doll shop didn't even realize that they were human beings. He looked up and counted the number of masks, then continued to focus on the matter in hand, and said directly: "Five masks, twenty buttons."

Dong Zheng counted out twenty black buttons and gave it to him, and walked out of the mask shop openly.

Many dolls passed by them, Linhai asked in a low voice: "Okay, so what are we going to do now? What do you mean by guarding the heaven? This place doesn't look like it needs to be protected."

Dong Zheng shook his head and said: "I don't know yet, let's wait and see what happens."

After that, he looked at Cui Zuojing who was turning his head to look behind, and asked, "Any suggestions?"

Cui Zuojing withdrew his gaze, a little unaccustomed to the weight on the bridge of the nose, bent his index finger and pushed down the mask, saying: "I suggest you find a place with a lot of people for the time being, and take a proper rest while collecting information."

It has been four or five hours since they entered the box, and the subsequent process does not know how long it will be, and everyone feels tired to varying degrees.Allen suggested, "Why don't you find a hotel or a hotel?"

Lin Hangzhi: "But is there really a restaurant in this place? How do dolls eat?"

"Dolls aren't supposed to be able to talk and walk yet."

The clues and information collected in the school seemed to be completely useless. After spending some time, they finally found a suitable place, a small bar in the corner of the alley.

The bar is small and dimly lit. There is a long bar counter and a few tables. The stairs leading to the second floor are covered by narrow curtains. There should be private rooms above. Come and have a drink.

There were not many people at this time. Chip, the bartender behind the bar, was reading a book with relish. When he saw them coming in, he straightened up and asked, "Do you want something to drink?"

Victor's eyes lit up immediately, he jumped onto the high stool, raised his head and said to the little raccoon, "Have a glass of vodka, just add ice."

Cui Zuojing couldn't stop him, so he could only say: "Just drink a little, you will definitely get drunk if you drink too much now."

Victor raised his tail happily. His body is that of a male cat that has not been neutered. The two balls are under the base of the tail. The fur looks soft and easy to touch.

In fact, Cui Zuojing sneaked around many times while Victor was asleep.

Dong Zheng stroked Victor's head smoothly, and said, "Have a glass of Chivas Regal."

Fu Zhe is a non-drinker, and there is no sign of a wine bottle in the castle. The last time he drank was on the rooftop, but beer is no different from water to Dong Zheng, and it is not enjoyable at all.

Cui Zuojing reminded: "Everyone take it easy, don't be greedy for this drink if you have a poor drinker."

"No, I can drink." Allen knocked on the bar very socially, and said, "Tequila, add more lemonade."

Lin Hangzhi is an honest doctor. He has never been to bars and other places in the real world. After a long time, he finally pointed to Alan and said, "Give me one like his."

Dong Linhai: "Rum bar, add Coke."

Cui Zuojing finally did not choose alcoholic drinks: "Have a bottle of Sprite."

Not long after, five people sat side by side on stools and all got the drinks they ordered. Victor was standing on the bar, licking the pure vodka in the glass with a full face, his head almost sticking into the mouth of the glass. Cui Zuojing I swear Victor had never enjoyed it so much before teasing him with catnip.

Sure enough, it is worthy of being a fighting nation...

Although there were not many people in the bar in the afternoon, besides them, there were still two or three tables on the first floor, chatting with each other. The five of them did not talk in a very tacit understanding, and concentrated on eavesdropping on the conversations at other tables, trying to obtain useful information.

A polar bear and a chick wearing black-rimmed glasses sat on the table next to Dong Linhai, who looked like colleagues, chatting about trivial things in the family and neighborhood.He sipped his rum and finally got a moment of relaxation after entering the box, listening to each other.

Suddenly, Chick lowered his voice and said, "If I remember correctly, the disaster predicted by the astrologer is coming soon."

Catastrophe?Dong Linhai's ears perked up immediately.

The polar bear sighed: "Yeah, it's been these two days. Yesterday I ran into Kodak Duck in the food store and asked him a question. He said that he still doesn't know how the disaster will happen, so he can only let the Guards go first." Be prepared and think about countermeasures when the time comes.”

Linhai poked Dong Zheng secretly with his elbow, and winked at him. Dong Zheng understood and listened attentively to the conversation over there.

"I'm a little worried... Although we successfully resisted the previous disasters, those are only small-scale ones. The one predicted by the astrologer can determine the survival of the town."

"Yes, we need to spend a long time treating the wounded after every disaster. If we don't do well this time, many companions may really die."

The dolls were silent, and after a while, the polar bear said firmly: "But no matter what, we will definitely protect the town and the owner, and we must not let her suffer any harm."

It is estimated that the dolls in the whole town know about the imminent catastrophe, otherwise these two would not have mentioned it in a crowded place like a bar.

The two dolls probably didn't want to continue such a heavy topic, so they started chatting about other things. After more than ten minutes, they pushed the empty wine glasses aside, got up and were about to leave.

The polar bear just opened the door of the bar, looked outside, and immediately turned to the chicken who was still packing up: "The master is here! Come and see!"

The polar bear didn't deliberately lower his voice, so all the dolls in the bar heard it, and they all got up and ran out to look at it immediately. Even the little raccoon put down the glass he was wiping and came out behind the bar, leaving the five guests in front of him behind. .

Dong Zheng and the others also took the opportunity to look over. Lin Hangzhi and Alan didn't hear the conversation between the two dolls before, and his face was full of confusion.

When they walked out of the bar, they found that both sides of the street were crowded with all kinds of dolls, all looking at the other side of the road, whispering excitedly to the people around them, like a large-scale fan meeting.

Where they were looking at, a girl in a costume was walking, accompanied by several Barbie dolls.She looked about eleven or twelve years old, with long blond hair, blue eyes like the sea, and a slight slope on her left foot when she walked.

"Agatha?" Dong Linhai whispered everyone's thoughts based on the girl's appearance and thin figure.

They watched the girl pass by silently, not realizing that they were different, and Agatha smiled and greeted the toys, accepting flowers and small gifts from them, just like all the doll residents in the town our favorite princess.

Sure enough, he guessed right, the source of Agatha's nightmare, the school was reduced to hell under the control of mutant dolls, and those who had bullied her died tragically.

And she lives in the paradise created by the dolls here.

Just as he was thinking, Dong Zheng caught a glimpse of someone staring at them at the door of the clothing store on the opposite street corner from the corner of his eye, and immediately looked there vigilantly.

Nothing at all.

Dong Zheng frowned, and glanced at Cui Zuojing who was standing next to him. The young man was also staring in that direction, with his usual expressionless face.

Cui Zuojing did always smile when talking to people, but Dong Zheng observed him for a long time, and found that Cui Zuojing's eyes never showed any fluctuations or intense emotions.Cui Zuojing never smiled when no one was paying attention to him.

It's as if... all the smiles are faked to make others think he's easy to get along with.

Realizing that Dong Zheng was looking at him, Cui Zuojing smiled as he expected, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Dong Zheng withdrew his gaze, and continued to recall the feeling of being spied on in a flash.

That should not be an illusion.
