doll city

In the dark night, a large number of flying books surrounded an art gallery, and the red fluorescent dots flickered like ghosts watching from the dark, but none of the books crossed the seemingly dilapidated courtyard wall of the art gallery. .

"……You are?"

Xianggu's second team, this time one-third of the people came, including the vice president Ma Zhaojun, there are two second-tier strongmen, the strength can be said to be very strong.

Right now, there are five or six people in Xianggu staying in the yard. Seeing that they were all wearing green armbands, they instinctively despised them. As soon as someone rolled up their sleeves and was about to make a move, they were grabbed by the people behind and pointed at them. Li Ya.

He's not that...why is he wearing a C-rank armband too?

Before Yan Ge and the others could speak, a man in a white coat came out from the entrance of the art museum, with some bottles and cans hanging around his waist, which looked a little weird among a group of people in light sportswear.

He quickly glanced at it, took out a notebook and flipped through it, and said: "Mr. Li, I didn't expect you to reject us many times, but in the end you chose such a little... oh no, there is already one." .”

His eyes swept over Yan Ge's face, he frowned suddenly, took out a notebook and scanned it, with a sneer on his face.

"It turned out that it was you who caused us to lose a second-order and two orphan parts in the exhibition center. You are quite courageous, young man."

When Yan Ge heard his words, he was prepared in his heart, and he was also observing the other party. This person was dressed in the medical industry and carried some medicine on him. He should be a very important person in Xianggu.

"Pharmacist" Lan Kaiyu.

He still remembered that in the convention and exhibition center, the bartender Liu Cheng almost couldn't control Diana at one point, and insisted on relying on a few injections of something like "stimulants" to survive.

I'm afraid this person is not easy to deal with.

Yan Ge put his hands in his pockets, his posture relaxed, but he clenched the pistol in his pockets tightly, and said, "Why don't we save a little time and get straight to the point—is it better to see blood instead of well water?"

The corner of "pharmacist" Lan Kaiyu's mouth twitched. He could clearly see a madness in his eyes when the young man was speaking.

He couldn't help feeling a little apprehensive, especially when Li Ya was clearly on their side.

"Today is Saturday, let's understand each other and have a comfortable weekend."

Yan Ge circled the trigger with his finger, and there was nothing unusual on his face: "I agree, we don't mean to offend, you can go through your hunting grounds as much as you want, we just find a place to sit and wait for the dawn."

Lan Kaiyu smiled, looked down at his watch, and said, "You are really a newcomer, Mr. Li, you didn't teach him—we are four second-tier, so many strong people are crowded in the same hunting ground, Do you know what the psychic radiation we radiate attracts?"

Yan Ge turned his head, and said to the innocent Li Ya: "Next time you don't get more than 5% of the useful information in every hundred nonsense, I'll pry your love brain out."

Li Ya: "I'm not very clear either—after all, the people in the same place as me used to die almost."

Lan Kaiyu was speechless for a while, and explained:

"Normal hunting grounds are led by at most a second-level person. The more second-level people, the stronger the live puppets in the hunting ground. In our case, the handicraft level is guaranteed. If you are unlucky, it will attract orphan-level people. even."

"..." I just finished dealing with an orphan a few days ago, can I take a break?Is it all over the street now?

Yan Ge thought back to the last time he was in the public hunting ground, there were a total of four strong men above the second level. If the giant jellyfish in the exhibition center had not been too extensive, it would also be an existence of an orphan level.

"It's not that unlucky." Dai Chengze muttered in a low voice behind, "I heard people say that there might not be one of those orphans in a month."

"..."

Thinking of Dai Chengze's flag physique, Yan Ge still raised his vigilance to the highest level.It's not that he doesn't know how to be flexible, there are indeed a lot of flying books outside, enough to build graves on the spot and bury them in the ocean of knowledge, but compared to orphans...

"Isn't it better to attract orphans?" Another old and serious voice came from inside the art gallery, and a middle-aged fat man with gray temples came out wearing a suit of cigars.

"It just so happened that the meeting recently lost an orphaned part, so we can get another one back. How about it, young man? Come on, let's cooperate?"

Yan Ge felt that this person looked familiar, and after a short memory, he remembered the one at the top of the bulletin board under the Tingxi Commercial Building... It is said that he is the chairman of the Ma Group.

...He joined Elephant Valley?

Just like Lan Kaiyu noticed his spiritual radiation field just now, Yan Ge also felt a powerful spiritual energy exuding from the middle-aged man surnamed Ma, and it was stronger and tougher than them all.

Oh, except Li Ya.

Compared to the obvious mental radiation field, they couldn't feel Li Ya's mental fluctuations at all.

It's also possible that he and them are not on the same level, and it's just that they can't see through it for the time being.

With Li Ya here, Yan Ge has nothing to refuse. It just so happens that the members of "Broken Chapter" are all here today, and Gu Lili has already been handed over to the nanny and doll to fall asleep. Nodding in agreement.

"... Did you organize us to visit here when you were in the first year of the ninth middle school?"

As soon as he stepped into the art gallery, Li Ya asked abruptly.

When he said this, Yan Ge was somewhat impressed. He looked up and looked around the art gallery - the place is really simple, the buildings only have gray walls painted with cement and diatom mud, and the center of the hall is scattered like electric wire plugs With several walls, it looks like a maze at first glance.Most of them are sprayed with graffiti works, the paint is layered on top of each other, and some paintings are densely hung or pasted in the blank places.

There are oil paintings, watercolors, sketches, comic color books... There are also a large number of secondary creations of the same people that are popular among young people.

The ground is not clean, and many paint dots are layered on top of each other, giving it an oppressive feeling of cool tones.

The air smelled of dried paint mixed with dust.

Yan Ge wiped the wall, rubbed some paint scum on his fingertips, and said, "I remember that it was not so rich at that time, almost all of them were crayon drawings of children..."

"There is an art school nearby, and most of the practice works are hung by the students."

Li Ya walked past an oil painting frame, took a few steps back, and looked at a copy of a student ID card with "Zhou Xiaoxia" written under the frame.

He adjusted his glasses, and said to Yan Ge: "I'm short-sighted, come and see, this girl named Xiaoxia, why is there a black and white photo on her certificate?"

Yan Ge leaned over to take a look. Indeed, like other paintings around, the painter's name and one-inch photo will be marked below.

The others are color photos, but this girl named Zhou Xiaoxia has a young face with a warm smile in the photo, but the black and white color scheme makes her look a little weird.

Yan Ge looked up at her work again. It was a self-made oil painting, mounted in a simple frame. The painting showed a garden full of white roses. On a yellow bench in the middle, three Little girl in blue dress holding hands.

The three little girls didn't show any expression, they stared straight at the people outside the painting.

"This oil painting should be painted by her. The three little girls in blue skirts... should be a tribute to "The Shining", huh? The girl in the middle, has her head been scalded?"

The whole picture is very good, the fly in the ointment is that a cigarette butt burned a hole in the middle, making the girl's face in the middle look like a monster.

"Let's look elsewhere to see if there are any paintings by Zhou Xiaoxia." Yan Ge didn't study painting, so he couldn't see why, so he turned around and went to other places to find clues.

Li Ya stood alone in front of the painting for a while, holding his chin in thought, until Yan Ge called him, and then slowly looked away.

It's just that he took two steps, then stopped and looked back at the painting again.

The three girls were still holding hands. I don't know if it was his illusion, but I always felt a smile appeared on their faces.

……

There is nothing abnormal in the whole art gallery, only the rustling conversations of outsiders.Perhaps it was because the "concentration" brought by more than [-] people gave a sense of security, even a timid person like Dai Chengze felt a little relieved.

Xiao Yi relaxed a lot this time. Surrounded by the familiar smell of paint and graphite, she even leisurely admired the nearby paintings.

After reading about twenty pictures, as a senior in painting, and also an elite in the world of illustrators and comics, she silently commented on the techniques of these novices, among which the work of a student named Zhou Xiaoxia was her favorite.

Zhou Xiaoxia has a few oil paintings. Although the structure is still very green, but the basic skills are solid, the perspective is well done, and the works are full of vitality.

"...This girl likes roses very much. All the flowers are painted very carefully. Maybe there is a flower shop at home."

Xiao Yi clasped her hands behind her back, paused at her feet, almost tripped over the box on the ground, looked down, and saw a large box of oil paints.

"The paint box in this kind of weather will dry immediately if it is left open, and it will consume oil. Young people nowadays, hey, what's in this paint box..."

She was closing the paint box as if obsessive-compulsive, when she was suddenly attracted by something strange. She was looking at the paint box carefully when she heard someone panicking from the exhibition hall on the first floor of the art museum.

"Mr. Ma, I really don't understand what you said, what kind of puppets, what's going to die. If you think that I don't show filial piety in ordinary times, then you can discuss it again. Why make fun of me, a small shrimp ..."

Manager Ke thought it was absurd, so he took a closer look just now to make sure that today was indeed not April Fool's Day or something, so he boldly followed in and chatted with Ma Zhaojun.

As the current vice president of Xianggu, after being baptized by the doll city and possessing the second-level ability, Ma Zhaojun, who was originally a local snake, naturally has a different concept. I feel that the three-acre land acquired by Yingying Gougou back then is really not enough.

"Forget it, it's a waste of time to tell you more, it's too noisy, let's kill it." Ma Zhaojun said casually.

The people around Xianggu were already murderous, upon hearing this, someone came up and grabbed Manager Ke, took out a knife, and put the blade on his throat like killing a chicken, ready to wipe it off.

"Wait a minute!!!" Seeing him coming for real, Manager Ke was frightened out of his wits and struggled crazily, "Ma Zhaojun! You are not a human being. How many dirty things have I done to you for so many years! Why do you kill people and silence them!"

"Then you should call the police." Lan Kaiyu watched the excitement from the side, and said, "Let's let a little bloodletting go to the door, and I happened to have a new prescription recently."

The people below obeyed the orders, changed the positions that were not fatal immediately, and cut Manager Ke's artery to make him bleed profusely but not die immediately.

"Ah!!" Manager Ke cried out in pain, writhing wildly with his last strength, bumped into the wall next to him while struggling, blood smeared on the painting on the wall, and slid along the wall to sit on the ground.

A large amount of blood flowed down the suit. Manager Ke held his neck and looked at them with resentment.

"Ma Zhaojun... you fucking..."

"President Ma, your family's old acquaintance is quite strong." Lan Kaiyu said with a smile, and suddenly heard Manager Ke trembling abnormally, and immediately took two steps back, looking at him vigilantly.

Manager Ke's cursing stopped abruptly, and he sat there with his mouth open, shaking abnormally all over his body, as if he had an old-fashioned washing machine that was about to be scrapped in his body.

Yan Ge just heard the voice rushing towards him at this moment, and saw a horrifying scene as soon as he got out of the blind spot.

Manager Ke's blood was flowing backwards.

No, it's not so much a backflow, it's better to say that the blood flowing out of his body is losing its "red" color and turning into a light yellow serum, and this phenomenon is being sucked back into his body along the bleeding hole on his neck.

After only a few seconds, his neck was almost bent at a ninety-degree angle. The lymphatic tissue, muscles, and neck bones in his neck stretched open and his mouth turned outward. The blood and flesh turned into yellow or white tissue, and all the red in his body... ...all gone.

"Fuck!"

Lan Kaiyu's face instantly turned ferocious, and he roared in a desperate tone——

"It's not an ordinary orphan, it's the fucking "Red Eclipse"!!"
