doll city

The upheaval happened in an instant.

People first suffered an earthquake that spread throughout the city, and then a tornado blew up in the arena in the middle of the city.

All the outer walls of the buildings were scraped and swept into the wind, and then the "dragon" took shape, and when it was about to devour everything, it fell silent again.

Like the giant pillars supporting the heaven and the earth, the huge head hangs from the zenith.

After people came to their senses, with the official video announcement, the whole city fell into chaos.In the chaotic crowd, Tang Yuan stood in the middle of the street, casually knocked out an idiot who rushed forward and wanted to be a hero, threw him on a truck transporting people, and looked at the demon-like existence behind him.

"What the fuck??" Tang Yuan gasped, "Shouldn't Ultraman take care of this?"

"Altman with a fart, escape is a serious matter!"

Tang Yuan thought for a while and said, "I won't run away."

The teammates looked at him in dismay: "Are you also brainwashed?"

"It's not that I've been brainwashed, it's just that I think it's useless to run away, so I'll stay here to buy you some time." Tang Yuan showed a very beating smile, "I'm different from you, I have money and leisure in the real world Yes, the experience of this adventure is gone."

Amid the sound of the engine, Tang Yuan also ran towards the Vientiane Dragon Snake.

"Take the story out, friends."

……

——Don't hypnotize me, let me wake up, even if... die here.

Yan Ge has listened to the voices of many people.

People, puppets, they all have their own stories.

But he has been unable to hear what Li Ya is thinking and what he has experienced, just as Luka cannot get a glimpse of the stories related to himself from his heart.

However, just now, Yan Ge finally heard the chaotic sounds leaking out from between the movements of the melody.

Li Ya has no heartbeat, his heart has been taken away long ago, what supports his existence is his "physical nature" as a living puppet.

This is the truth of this city - digging out the "physical nature" and washing away the "human nature".

Therein lies the contradiction.If you insist on human nature, you will continue to be eliminated due to weakness, and if you fall into "material nature", you will lose your mind.

"Li Ya, what are you going to do?"

Surrounded by a void of moonlight sonata, Yan Ge's body is still imprisoned in hypnosis, but his consciousness is awake.

"I know you can hear all voices, including my heart."

"You keep pushing me aside and that's not what I deserve."

"You're not afraid of death, so you think I must be afraid of death?"

A slave can play countless roles, man, woman, old man, child... buffoon, hero.

"I have always believed that you are not a protected character."

Yan Ge finally saw Li Ya.

With his usual chuckle, he leaned on his knees, his glazed eyes seemed to be burning with a frozen flame.

"But I hope that in your world, at least you can remember me."

"There has been a lack of a ritual between us, a ritual that allows me to be a living doll and never get lost."

Li Ya hesitated for a long time, because he always wanted to see him more.

But now, the symphony of destiny has begun, and no one can stop its footsteps.

He bowed his head and kissed his palm, whispering like a knight.

"Give me an oath, I will pray day and night during my lifetime, and after my death, my bones will always abide by it."

Yan Ge has always known.

Their current meeting is nothing more than a chance meeting of two coincident memories in a dislocation space.

If he dies just like that, then they don't exist in each other's lives, and the him he meets when he leaves here is not him.

Only here, in this book of fate, they are written on the same line.

Now he's saying goodbye to him.

Yan Ge felt that the mask belonging to the slave was being peeled off layer by layer. Behind the moodiness was a face that belonged only to him.

"The light in the distance is not sunlight. I know what it is... It's the shooting star from the sun, illuminating your path tonight and guiding you to the path you built on the battlefield. So, so stay a little longer, you stay In a while..."

He recited the words from the play, watched Li Ya lift his qin, and played the closing song for his crooning.

"Noisy love, affectionate resentment, everything created out of nothing...heavy frivolity, serious arrogance, neat chaos...",

"Leather of lead, smoke of light, fire of freezing, health withered, face always awake, presence of denial."

"I feel that love is such an existence."

"Now, I give you the only emotion in my life that fits all the descriptions and descriptions. It is my true heart, it is in your heart, it belongs to you...he belongs to you."

The virtuoso nodded and bowed to his belief, and then retreated into the dark background, leaving only the last human speech.

"Then, I would like to give my whole heart to you for this empty name outside my body."

……

In the smoke, dust and gravel on the sky, the blood-red eyes of the Vientiane Dragon Snake opened.

The wonderful hallucination brought by the lullaby lasted only for a moment.

At that moment, it saw the weak self who was still in the claw machine, being embraced sincerely by the child for the first time, and being told the promise of being with him forever.

That was the only time it was ever loved.

When it opened its eyes, all that disappeared, and it felt endless hunger again. It seemed that only human screams could slightly fill the emptiness in its heart.

It bent down and heard the cries of many children.

— eat him!devour her!Own them!

This is its only instinct now.

The indescribably huge body tilted down, and it squirmed and drilled out from the depths of the ground, revealing its entire body.

Wherever it passed, the surrounding buildings and streets disintegrated and were all absorbed onto its body.

"Come on monster! I'm not afraid of you! I'm not afraid of—"

The last human who has not yet been devoured is holding the fire ax like a tree, but under the huge shadow, his survival instinct is stimulated, and he escapes the brainwashing influence of the "hero".

"Why am I... God! What is this thing?!"

The shadow of a natural disaster shrouded the man completely collapsed on the ground. He felt every hair and every cell in his body clamoring to be sucked in by the dragon-shaped black hole in front of him. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared. .

At the same time, his memory also blurred.

"Just... what happened?"

……

Those who escaped outside continued to flee, and the Vientiane Dragon Snake returned to its original position, but its huge body did not change.

"...I can only go so far, long story short." Yi Ziang stood in front of the arena, the color of his body cream was fading rapidly, "Diana was right, we just tried to be swallowed by it, sure Its main consciousness is chaos, but it also means that it is like a racing car driven by a mental patient, as long as we are actively swallowed and strong enough, it can dilute its consciousness."

Before that, Diana, Xiao Yi, and Yan Ge had all been swallowed once, and they were sealed into the Vientiane Dragon Snake like other building fragments.

At the same time, with their spiritual radiation, they will not be swallowed immediately. They feel that their consciousness has gradually become a part of the Vientiane Dragon Snake, and it can even be said to be intrusive.

"The consciousness of this big snake has two parts, one is the consciousness of the living puppet, and the other is the consciousness of the child swallowed by it. These two consciousnesses are fused together to form the current state. After all, this mixed up Things are fragile and unstable, and we can gamble with our lives."

"It's feasible." Diana finalized without any hesitation, and said, "How to deal with its 'shape'? I can see through its internal 'skeleton' structure and blow through its key nodes, but the problem is the damage I caused Power is not enough to destroy it all at once, and a stronger, positive destructive force is needed."

...Where can I find an Ultraman to hammer monsters at this point?

At this time, Tang Yuan's figure came running from a distance.

"In the direction of the museum, there is a lime factory to the southwest. After it swallows the lime factory, how about trying to lure it into the sea?"

"It's not feasible. It's too close to the escape point of the South Bridge, and how to lure it away is a problem... Wait?" Yi Ziang suddenly covered his ears.

"what happened to you?"

A voice echoed in Yi Ziang's ears. He couldn't say it specifically, but he felt inexplicably relieved.

"Didn't you hear? A voice told us to come over."

"What sound?" Neither Diana nor Tang Yuan heard it.

Is it my player instincts?Or... because I am a child, I can hear it?

"Are you OK?"

"I……"

At this time, Yi Ziang snorted, the color on his body faded quickly, and his limbs began to turn into white pieces of paper. At the same time, the head of the temporarily frozen dragon snake above their heads moved.

It can't control its hunger, and it's going to forage for food where the crowd is densest.

"I'll take a step first. If my interference with its consciousness is effective, then you can continue."

Diana looked down at the red line on her little finger, and let go of the steel bar at hand. Without much hesitation, she jumped into the gravel circle around the Vientiane Dragon Snake.

"If we are not enough..." Tang Yuan said with difficulty.

"It will continue to eat people until it is eaten up. It will also self-destruct. Before that, we must try to save as many people as possible."

Death seemed insipid at this moment, and Yi Ziang knew that he had to make good use of every life.

He shouted in one direction: "Li Ya... no, performer! Lead it to the southwest!"

The sound of string playing echoed.

On the other side of the gray fog, among the fleeing crowd, someone looked at a collapsed ruin.

There was a man on it, with a pair of blue eyes under the tips of his dyed red hair.

"Is that man crazy? Why didn't he escape?"

"Don't look, there are madmen everywhere in this city!"

The bustling crowd fled the city towards the distance, and some people hid in the buildings, greedy for the uncivilized world here.

Some people are fed up, some are reluctant, they all have different voices.

When the performer hears this, his inspiration is completely sufficient.

His eyes are dull, the echo of all things is his eyes, and the black and white notes are his hands.

By the way, he still has a loving heart.

Thinking of this, he briskly put on the strings, and the moment tremolo poured out from the strings - the whole city suddenly fell silent.

The screams of people disappeared, the sound of chaotic footsteps disappeared, and the earthquake brought by the Vientiane Dragon Snake became just a terrible pantomime.

Only his violin can be heard in the city, progressive and crescendo, soaring like a gull piercing through the clouds, together with the sound of the distant sea tide, it is a farewell for his lover to go home.

……

The Vientiane Dragon Snake shifted its direction, it seemed very confused, and there were two voices in its body.

The sound of crying with children urged it to devour more people, while another...or some rational voice made it follow the sound of the violin, making it chase the only beautiful moment in memory.

And in the distance, near the South Bridge, Xiao Yi drove the car all the way, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Dai Chengze and Gu Lili waiting on the side of the road. As soon as she stopped, her heart hurt for no reason .

Her pupils trembled, looking at her little finger.

The place where the red line was stretched was tight, almost tightening her flesh.

Covering her mouth, she forcibly swallowed the sobs in her throat, and turned her head to look at Yan Ge who was supposed to be unconscious in the back seat.

"Yan..."

Xiao Yi suddenly became dumb, she saw Yan Ge sitting in a daze, anyone could see that he must have lost something.

After she approached, she heard Yan Ge murmuring continuously.

"We have to do something...to do something..."

There was a knock on the car window, and Xiao Yi turned her head to look, and saw Gu Lili standing by the car window, with red eyes, holding the Great Sacred Mask in her hand.

"Brother Ge... Believe it or not, I heard the voice of the Great Sage. He said... he will cast down demons, but he has lost his 'true character' and can't come out. Please help him get rid of the 'golden body', He will save us!"

"What are you talking about—"

Xiao Yi was stunned for a moment, looking at the dead object in Gu Lili's hand, she didn't quite understand it for a while, but when Yan Ge heard it, it seemed as if he had suddenly thawed, and took the Great Sage from Gu Lili's hand .

"I believe you, and I heard it too. Let's... go to the museum," he said.

"Leather of lead, smoke of light, fire of freezing, health withered, face always awake, presence of denial."

"I feel that love is such an existence."

"I would like to give my whole heart to you for this empty name outside my body."
