doll city

"This time it's really over."

Everyone's invitations flew out, and to everyone's surprise, an invitation from Luca slowly floated out from the pocket of the old lady Zhao's shroud, gathering into a ball of green light, slowly blending into the lion's blood-red eyes inside.

Gradually, the lion's red eye faded, and as the color of the other eye faded, it returned to the state of a dead thing.The statue of Guan Gong standing quietly in front of Tianshui Hall moved and walked over step by step, and everyone couldn't help but stay away.

Guan Gong closed his eyes like a phoenix, lifted the lion on the ground, and returned to Tianshui Hall as if it was the same as the night before, closing the old wooden door.

"It turns out that the ninth missing person is Mrs. Zhao."

"It's a pity." Li Haobai whispered to himself, "If this lion had awakened earlier, this old lady might assimilate with this city, and even return to her youthful days."

This sentence was unheard of, and Yan Ge noticed that the crows were shaking their wings, and in the blink of an eye, the blood-red eyes turned into a gentle blue color, and they flew around the old lady Zhao one after another. Roughly, she lifted the chair she was sitting on with her paws or her body, and slowly lifted into the air.

This was obviously different from the brutal attitude before. Yan Ge took a few steps forward, stopped again, and turned around to ask Li Haobai, "Where are they going to take old lady Zhao?"

"They will go back to Luca, take away the burial, or bring back the era she wants to go back to." Li Hao said badly.

"Era?" Yan Ge confirmed to Li Haobai.

The latter nodded seriously, and Yan Ge tried to understand the word with a confused expression, barely organized his words and said uncertainly: "The 'Luka' you have been talking about is...similar to the Space-Time Administration. The kind...you can arrange people to travel through time and space at will?"

"It's not time travel, it's 'return', which involves some parallel dimensions, such as—" Li Haobai raised his index finger to explain, but remembered that his finger was about to break off, and the bloody palm was taken for granted stretched out in front of Yan Ge.

"?"

Yan Ge was still waiting for his next words, seeing that he suddenly stopped talking, he hesitated for two seconds, reached out his hand and clapped him.

Yan Ge: "I've clapped my hands, you did a great job, let's continue."

Li Haobai: "..."

Li Haobai: "I'll talk to you slowly in the future, where are your dancing shoes?"

Yan Ge searched around the Tianshui Hall, and found that the Desire dance shoes hadn't been thrown in just now, they were just stuck on the door plaque. There were still some cracks left, and he thought it was a new shoe.

"It seems that its remaining power is exhausted. As long as it is not stained with blood, it is still a dead thing. Put it away, maybe it will be useful in the future."

After Li Haobai looked at it, he glanced at Yan Ge's bare feet on the ground, and turned to Xiao Yi, "Auntie, did you bring socks?"

At this time, the three people in Jungle No. 1 had left the Lion Dance Hall in a hurry, Xiao Yi was holding the plum blossom pile and panting with distracted eyes, while Dai Chengze was fanning her.

"Oh my god... the manual-level mental radiation is really not covered..." Xiao Yi hoarse voice, before she finished a sentence, she coughed violently when she heard Li Haobai's call, and after holding her breath, she lost her temper replied——

"There are socks, do you want thigh socks or black stockings?"

Li Haobai knew that Xiao Yi was rich in equipment, but he didn't expect it to be so rich, so he truthfully reported to Yan Ge: "Which one of the above do you like?"

Yan Ge: "..."

Li Haobai: "By the way, I like them all."

"Don't bother you, I'll just be naked."

After Yan Ge finished speaking, he walked towards the entrance of the Lion Awakening Hall.

Li Haobai wiped his brown sunglasses, put them back on his face, and said to himself——

"That would be exciting."

Yan Ge didn't pay much attention to other things. Relying on the spiritual radiation brought by the orphan-level living doll's possessions, he barely had a [-]-[-] match with the manual-level one. Although he didn't collapse directly like Xiao Yi, his limbs actually fell apart. Sore and numb, as if he just ran a full marathon, his lungs hurt every time he took a breath.

——At least I got rid of my desire dancing shoes, and now I don’t have to stretch them.

——But then again, no matter what instrument he uses, can he produce a certain effect at will?

Touching the palm-sized desire dance shoes that retracted into the pocket, it was as quiet as a display in a museum display window at this time, and it did not feel the bloody and insolent momentum before.

He clenched his fist again, and found that his [Senjia] and other strengths had increased by about one-fifth, and now he should be able to completely suppress Uncle Yuan who is known for his strength in Jungle No. 1.

However, now that he has no strength, he just wants to sleep until tomorrow night...

Yawning lightly, Yan Ge slowly walked to the entrance of the Lion Dance Hall with his eyes closed, the expression on his face relaxed a little.

"I will go to Central Park to collect the reward for the last hunting ground when I rest until noon. Where are you going?"

Xiao Yi was supported to sit on the threshold, and began to order food beeping.

"...I don't care. I won't do anything today. When I wake up, I'll go to a hot pot restaurant. I'll cook four pots of oily tomato and three fresh mushroom soup and eat it all day long..."

Yan Ge paused, and took the initiative to say: "I know that there is a 'Hongyouji Hot Pot' near Changge Street in the northeast, which is considered to be a time-honored brand in Ciling. If you have nothing to do at night, do you want to meet there? Let's chat Let's talk."

After going through this hunting ground, Dai Chengze had a very good impression of him, nodded hurriedly, and shook hands with Yan Ge heavily: "If you weren't here, I might have died here long ago, thank you for your kindness, if it is useful in the future You're welcome to my place!"

Hmm...it will come in handy, it would be even better if you could rap for me.

Yan Ge showed a rare smile, just as he walked out of the gate of the Lion Awakening Hall, he suddenly stopped, frowning and looking at the two empty stone blocks in front of the Lion Awakening Hall.

"what happened?"

"Where are the people from Jungle No. 1 just now?"

"Let's go."

"They go so fast?"

Indeed, after the three of Jungle No. 1 went out, it seemed as if they had evaporated from the world.

But there really wasn't anything out of the ordinary here, just a strange sense of uneasiness lingering around me.

"Then let's find a place to rest first." Xiao Yi yawned and said, pointing to the tricycle on the side of the road, "Mr. Dai, can you take me for a while, I remember there is a sample room in the nearby real estate... "

Their voices faded away, Yan Ge turned around and said to Li Haobai through a threshold: "What about you?"

Li Haobai adjusted his sunglasses and said slowly, "I thought you would ask me out alone."

Yan Ge: "I won't."

Li Haobai made a soft questioning sound: "The reason?"

Yan Ge confessed: "Because I feel that you are dangerous and may lead me to do some crazy things, and I am just a survivor looking for a child."

"Ah..." Li's tone fell down, a little disappointed, "Then we made an appointment before to venture into the world together—"

"It's a conditional exchange." Yan Ge said firmly.

Li Haobai confirmed to him smoothly: "So after the agreement is over, you will not be mine anymore?"

Yan Ge leaned back slightly, and said with a trace of imperceptible embarrassment: "...So far, our cooperation has been quite happy. I hope you don't force me to become a dishonest person."

Li Haobai shook his head slowly and said, "I think you misunderstood me. You asked them to have a hot pot meeting, probably because you want to form a free exploration team?"

This was an obvious intention, and Yan Ge did not deny it.

Li Haobai leaned forward slightly, and said, "Then why didn't you invite me?"

"I don't think I have any conditions to attract you." Yan Ge answered whatever he thought.

A terrifying person who is wanted by various A-level organizations and doesn't look like an angel investor, how could he join the group without any reason?

Li Haobai smiled helplessly: "You sound like a financier. But if you have to forcefully find a reason from the perspective of investment, you just haven't discovered your value yet."

"why?"

"I will explain this topic in an appropriate place in the future. Regarding this hunting ground, let me tell you a taboo first. Even if you end up dying here, you must remember it well."

Yan Ge was startled, and looked at him seriously.

Li Haobai glanced at the position of the eaves and said:

"Remember, all creations must have spirits, and you absolutely, absolutely must not tell any living puppet that you like it or that you love it in all sincerity."

"why?"

Li Haobai's expression calmed down, and he said almost solemnly:

"Because all the love that is promised will be reciprocated. Perhaps for human beings, it will be forgotten tomorrow, but the living puppets will keep it until they are smashed to pieces."

--why?

Before Yan Ge got a reply, Li Haobai stretched out his hand and pushed him suddenly, making him take a few steps away from the gate of the Lion Dance Hall.

"Li——" the rest of the words were still stuck in his throat, Yan Ge's pupils shrank, and a ceramic lioness with Cao Zhi's body in her mouth fiercely jumped down from the roof.

As if it had lost its mate, its eyes shone red with resentment, it threw off Cao Zhi's body that had lost his voice, and bit Li Haobai.

The next moment, the door of the Lion Dance Hall slammed shut, isolating all movements inside.

"Li is good or bad?! Li is good or bad!"

Yan Ge slapped the door and called twice, turned his head and ran towards the lower courtyard wall. Since he really didn't have the energy to teleport, he could only rely on his vigorous skills to hold on to the uneven wall and climb up.

But as soon as he climbed onto the eaves, a small turquoise ceramic lion stepped on the back of his hand.

Without hesitation, it opened its mouth and bit Yan Ge's neck.

So fast!

The handmade puppet would not give him any chance to evade. The lion cub's sharp teeth instantly sank into the skin on Yan Ge's neck. If Yan Ge hadn't grabbed the back half of its body and threw it out, it would have disappeared on the spot.

"Tsk."

The little lion bowed and prepared to pounce again, but Yan Ge could only jump down clutching his throat, and rolled on the spot to avoid its pounce.

Although the lion was small, it was very fast. It immediately jumped off the wall and scratched at Yan Ge's face.

Just when Yan Ge was considering whether to take out the desire dance shoes in his pocket to recognize the blood dripping shoes, and wear them for another week to get rid of the entanglement of the living puppets, there was a roar of motorcycle cylinders coming from the end of the alley.

Less than three seconds after the white light of the headlight came on, a low-pitched female voice with a foreign accent came over.

"Brother in front, bow your head."

"Bang" sounded like a god of death gunshot, and in front of Yan Ge, a bullet precisely passed through the lion's left eye and out through the right eye.

In less than ten seconds, when Yan Ge realized, the doll had already turned into a dead thing.

In the blazing light, a tall, short-haired woman in a leather jacket took a short sniper off her lap and put it back into the tactical leg pocket, and asked the people behind her for a few words.

Then, a foreign face dressed like a mercenary in a camouflage uniform came over, picked up Yan Ge, who had a throat injury, and put him on the motorcycle, and said to others in awkward Chinese——

"Clear M82. This time hunt the Wuyue Zhenren Temple, and then look for any other survivors. All irrelevant people will be taken away."
