doll city

The entire city was full of fleeing people. Before the Vientiane Dragon and Snake went mad, there were still people watching, but soon, the hesitant people didn't even have the chance to wait and watch.

The rolled up corpses, regardless of high or low, flew towards the giant shadow under the dark clouds along with the hazy wind.

Tens of thousands of cries wailed in the body of the Vientiane Dragon Snake, and its head finally gave birth to scales, which blocked that damned, seductive melody from the heart.

How beautiful the dream constructed in the melody is, how empty the reality is.

—Why throw it away?Of course you have to throw it away if it gets dirty.

——Eat, aren’t you very good at eating?Plug another one.

--get out.

"Mom, I love it so much, I want to be with it forever."

No more, no more.

It is suffering and hesitant. In this body that only knows how to drink everything, its heart has already been crushed by its "only".

The Vientiane Dragon Snake opened its giant blood-colored eyes, and let out a hollow howl.

All the human beings who heard this wailing stopped their fleeing steps, covered their heads involuntarily and screamed—they also felt the bone-piercing pain from the depths of their brains.

In the center of the eye of the storm, Li Ya lowered his qin bow and listened quietly to the howl.

His playing can make a deaf man cry, but he can't shake an empty shell.

He needs a little inspiration, a little... destined inspiration.

The empty shell needs a soul that can fill it, and "Servant" will be the most suitable.

Of course he can't let it go one step forward, but...

--Hold on.

Li Ya raised his head, and in a dark field of vision, he "saw" a slight, irregular noise.

In this city, there is not only one servant.

Li Ya let go of the ground, the corners of his clothes lifted, and the gravity of the black hole made him float towards the giant mouth of the Vientiane Dragon Snake. Soon, he faced the pair of blood-red eyes.

He smiled, opened his arms, and jumped into the dragon snake's mouth.

"If you don't have a heart, create one."

"Luca, I know you're in there - there's a secret you want to hear?"

……

On the edge of the city, the people who collapsed to the ground because of the screams of the Vientiane Dragon and Snake slowly woke up in the rumbling of the earth.

To be precise, what awakened them was not bloody orifices, but a familiar piece of music.

Here, everyone knows, everyone is chasing its power.

It is soft and mysterious, washing away the piercing howl just like running water.

"That is……"

Someone covered his ears, but the singing still sounded from his head.

All of them have heard the song engraved in their souls since they came to this city.

"That's... the complete "Elegy of the King of Performers"."

Everyone stood in place and looked up in the direction of the Vientiane Dragon and Snake. At first, there was the lingering sound of violins, and then, someone seemed to be humming softly.

It started to rain in the city, and the heavy rain poured down the gray haze all over the sky. In the rain curtain, people saw the giant trembling shadows of dragons and snakes.

From its shell came the song—

"... there are two china dolls in the castle,

The princess accompanied Luca in the attic.

The villain took the princess and returned home,

I cursed him one after another.

The crow pecked out Luca's eyes,

The mice sang that she was married.

In the wilderness the bones are covered with wildflowers,

The feast of the garbage dump has begun. "

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the Vientiane Dragon and Snake was struggling, and the sound of the clock ticking came from its body, sometimes mixed with the scorching fire in the kiln. Those songs were like sharp knives from the inside out, Its will was torn apart inch by inch.

"The first spectator hastily entered the stage,

He said it was from the hometown of the gods.

Lights and applause ignite the clothes,

In the laughter, the announcement was flustered and flustered.

The hatred of the forest melts into armor,

The flesh and blood of the builders built the walls.

Ghosts of ancestors wander here,

Hydra stares in the dark.

The second musician came from the North,

Searching for water in the sea of ​​sand and picking up waste in dreams.

The mistress' bowels shatter the doors and windows,

No one recalls the madman's jokes.

The scorching bones are unwilling to roar

They say they withered too long

The executioner composes the poem and the creation sings

His name is called the King of Performers..."

The Vientiane Dragon and Snake opened its mouth wide, and the reflection of the city above the sky began to be blurred and unstable. People felt a strong sense of nausea brought about by space changes.

At the same time, at the largest evacuation point on the South Bridge, the wall of the space began to become unstable, and the people who went out returned here again as before.

"It's going to eat our home!"

Intuition made everyone scream in fear.

The Vientiane Dragon Snake is indeed doing this, it is desperately trying to swallow the space that is about to overlap above.

But the singing voice in the body is still long and long, and in its throat, a blood-red, crystal clear heart begins to take shape.

Glass, gems, flesh, waste, it is twisted and horrible, but it is beating.

The will of King Ling endowed it with "life".

"The third servant visits at midnight,

Dancing dresses and heavy makeup amidst the bells.

He speaks cruelly with the truth,

Dressed up to come and leave in tatters.

Sunken stories dance with fire,

The end of the story has already come to an end.

Bard traveler, wait, please,

Tell Princess Luca still loves her..."

Boom, boom... Everyone heard it, the heartbeat of the Vientiane Dragon Snake was in tune with its own heartbeat, but it was still refusing, tightly sealed, setting off more black hole storms, layer by layer, no matter what. I want to show my heart.

The singing brought all the information, and most people looked at the huge black shadow of the Vientiane Dragon Snake in despair.

"It's over, it's over."

At this time, the end of the violin suddenly rose, and the huge body of the Vientiane Dragon Snake shook, and then, a series of explosions occurred in multiple places on its body with a "boom".

The flames and smoke reflected half of the sky red, and in the tattered body, the huge mouth of the Vientiane Dragon Snake was also blown off, and the lower jaw hung on the head, revealing the red "heart" in the throat.

Just as hope appeared in people's eyes, they saw that the space around it began to distort, and the gravitational force ten times stronger than before burst out suddenly.

This time, the people on the edge of the city could no longer be spared. Most of them were directly sucked up into the sky by the storm rolled up by the Vientiane Dragon Snake, and were crazily swallowed by it together with the chaotic rubble around them.

This is a natural disaster, an irresistible natural disaster.

In a certain car that was lifted into the sky, Gu Lili's pupils reflected the completely destroyed Ciling, crying and shouting——

"Save, save us... who will save us!!!"

Tears fell in the wind, and time slowed down suddenly.

Gu Lili saw a beam of light, refracted from the teardrops, and landed on her eyebrows.

...is it light?Or the sun?

At the moment when the time slowed down, everyone saw a ray of light burst out from the center of the city, crossed an arc of light that tore apart the storm, and hovered high above the head of the Vientiane Dragon Snake.

Wearing a golden armor with locks, wearing a purple gold crown with phoenix wings on his head, stepping on lotus root and cloud shoes, and holding a wishful golden cudgel in his hand.

Everyone never thought that he would come, but they all called out the name engraved in their blood with one voice——

"Monkey King!!!"

In the golden light cloud, the Monkey King raised his golden cudgel aloft, raised his head and drank, and the evil cloud dissipated like fog on a great sun.

"Monster! Fu Zhu!!"

This stick, like a meteor chasing the moon, hit the mouth of the Vientiane Dragon and Snake, and the dragon and snake swallowed the sky and the earth froze. Then, a huge explosion sounded from its mouth, Wan Zhang's body was broken inch by inch, and there were countless golden lights in the gap. burst out.

Then there was a loud noise that shook the world, and the huge body of the Vientiane Dragon Snake was shattered.

Just one stick, and it will be wiped out.

"Great Sage..."

Gu Lili stared blankly at all this, tears blurred her eyes, lost the influence of the myriad dragons and snakes, a sudden sense of weightlessness struck, but they did not fall heavily, but were supported by a cloud.

She raised her head and looked around. In the broken stone rain, everyone was well wrapped by a soft cloud, leading them to fly to the edge of the city.

The somersault cloud exists.

Monkey King also exists.

He subdues demons and eliminates demons, he is invincible, and he is always by our side.

Gu Lili stretched out her hand towards the beam of light, but she got farther and farther away from him. Just when she was about to be sent away from the edge of the city, a beam of light flew towards her palm.

She looked down, and in her palm was a mask of Monkey King.

It no longer has its eyes closed tightly, but its eyes are golden and majestic.

"...Thank you." Gu Lili finally smiled through tears, "Thank you for growing up with me all this time."

……

The end of the story comes naturally.

The audience left, and only one figure remained in the ruined city.

The colored tiles peeled off inch by inch from his body, and flew to the city that was about to overlap here on the sky, continuing to guard the real world.

And Yan Ge, who was possessed under the tile, became the last person in this ruined city.

Too quiet.

Yan Ge dug the gravel below his knees for a while, but only got two hands of dust.

"Is anyone there?" he asked the empty city, but no one answered.

They all left, some were sent away, some died.

"You should go too." The voices of other characters in Yan Ge's mind said. "It's time for us to say goodbye. You don't have to be sad. Like them, you will gradually forget everything here."

yes.

This is preordained, the best result.

But what is this heartache?

Yan Ge turned his back and took two steps. When a violin sounded, he suddenly turned his head and rushed to the source of the faint sound. When he climbed a mountain, he saw only a dilapidated plane. violin.

It lay quietly in the ruins, its strings broken, and it was in dilapidated condition.

"It's over..." Yan Ge picked up the violin and murmured, "It's over."

Great results, they saved many people at the expense of themselves.

Li Ya died, carrying this paragraph and his memory with him.

Yan Ge sat alone on the ruins for a long, long time, until the reflection of the city was close in front of his eyes, a small ceramic beckoning cat crawled out from nowhere, leaned against his feet, and gently rubbed he.

The kitten has green, jewel-like eyes, and half of its face is black. It is exactly the same as the short-haired cat at home, the one that brought him to this city.

"go home?"

Yan Ge seemed to understand what it meant, hugged the violin, nodded blankly, followed the kitten, and walked towards the edge of the city, where the lights of Wanjia were on the other side.

"Yes, there is still a home. Let's... go home."

Goodbye, Ciling.
