The Uncanny Valley Travel Guide

It's a wonderful feeling.

The people on the street turned their backs, screams, roars, and exclamations mixed with dialects and slang, turned into a mess, and the red lanterns hanging high and the golden light emitted from the gorgeous pavilions also made the world before everyone's eyes upside down and confused. of.Riding on the galloping and roaring skeleton horse, Wen Zheliu's blood boiled involuntarily, and the heat excited his heart wildly, making him almost uncontrollably yelling.

But even at such an unconscious moment, he could still clearly perceive that there was a strange ripple, a transparent and invisible diaphragm passing through his body, like passing through an unusually cold water curtain, When He Qin steered the horse across the invisible boundary, everything changed silently.

The strings of red lanterns hanging are still bright, but the red seems to be more and more bleak; the lights on the high-rise buildings that are always on all night still radiate like another bright sun at midnight, but the gold seems to be filtered pale.The panicked and terrified expressions of passers-by are also covered with a layer of gray death. Wen Zheliu heard 1000 people laughing, [-] people crying, [-] people playing the willow flute sobbing and mourning, and [-] people crossing the river of Styx and the underworld. limit--

The time of the devil!

He saw helplessly that at the corner of Brilliant Long Street, first a few flying green foxes were caught in the fire, and a few dilapidated white paper lanterns suspended in mid-air, no one picked them up but were still moving forward, and then, It's like a medieval ink ukiyo-e come alive, all the ghosts and ghosts on it came to the world from the old scrolls full of yellowing paper, and came to everyone's eyes!

The slender bodies of the raccoon and the sickle weasel intertwine, creating ripples visible to the naked eye in the wind; the tall girl with fiery hair has a ferocious face, her body is as soft and long as a snake, her waist is straightened, and the flames on her head can almost reach the tea house The curtain on the second floor; the blue-skinned, lean and thin mountain boys are laughing and joking, chasing and fighting past, followed by the slow-moving, staggering gait of the mountain grandma; The lantern with its tail hooked to the ground is shaking; the fire burning with human heads is as round as a wheel, and the bridal hair is strange and messy like spider legs, and the huge claws and feet must be as hard as steel, because when she walks through the long street You can hear the sound of clanging collisions and frictions even when you hear Zheliu; ghosts participate in it as the most common and common parade|walkers. Goshindo stepped underfoot—or burned to ashes by an Onmaraki breathing blue fire.

Under the sky, flying heads entwined around the eaves of high-rise buildings, and their red and scarlet tongues were looming in the black clouds, among which were flying birds with wings spread like a flock of crows.On the even higher ground, Gao Tiangou spread his wings to cover the sky and the moon, with a fan on his waist, he lifted the wind and clouds with an incomparable royal posture, and stood arrogantly on the clouds!

In addition to these, there are many ghosts and monsters who can't even be named after hearing Zheliu, each showing a brutal and ferocious attitude, baring their teeth and claws, swimming towards this side in disorder.

"I can't go any further!" He shouted loudly, and at the same time he felt a soaring cold air, which immediately caused his spiritual value to drop by 10%, almost freezing his soul into ice, "Go further We hit it before!"

"Believe me," He Qin's warm lips gently touched his ear, "When did your brother miss you?"

The skeleton warhorse neighed mournfully, the bridle swung wildly, and the bones of the horse struggled and collided so that the armor rattled violently.It wanted to escape He Qin's grasp and avoid the deadly trap in front of it, but He Qin didn't give it this chance. He flicked his right hand vigorously, and the reins were as fierce as a whip, violently whipping the skull of the horse in iron armor. With a shiver, Wen Zheliu instantly understood what he meant.

"Vaulting horse!!" He yelled hoarsely and shouted backwards, and then He Qin put his arms around his waist and abdomen, pulled him up, and jumped vertically between the hanging lanterns and stacked signboards.The explosion shook the air, he hugged Wen Zheliu directly, and recoiled from the horse back to the height of several floors of the pavilion!

The wind was whistling in my ear, Wen Zheliu hurriedly glanced back, and saw the poor bone horse's spine collapsed by He Qin's last kick, it couldn't stop whining, and met the oncoming group of dancing demons with a bang Collide!

In an instant, the loud noise mixed with the strong air flow radiated out, splashing broken bones like a hidden weapon of disorder, and smashed the front line of the Hundred Ghosts of the Night to pieces in an instant.The spirit of the ghost was all scattered; Shan Tong was thrown out horizontally, rolling into a ball with Qiao Ji behind him; the whirling horse's leg bone was deeply inserted into the center of Cong Yuanhuo's forehead, making him also roar and fly out, Burned many spirits all over the body... Before he had time to see more chaotic details, He Qin shouted: "Close your eyes!"

He closed his eyes subconsciously, felt He Qin's arms tightly covering his head, and heard a loud and broken sound in his ears - two people directly smashed the window of the nearby pavilion, and rolled into the room full of strange smells. Among silk and satin!

There were deafening noises from below, accompanied by the angry and horrified screams of the ghosts and the neighing of the bone horse before it shattered. Wrapped around his body several times, he got dizzy from rolling, and fell to the same place with He Qin in embarrassment.

"Ai, ai, ai, ai, ai!" On the way of rolling, he knocked over many bottles and cans, and a few small tables and couches, so as not to overturn the candlesticks.After the dizzying feeling disappeared, Wen Zheliu managed to open his eyes, and saw that He Qin was pressed down by him, staring at him funny with a pair of curved peach eyes, with his hands still protecting the back of his head.

"We... where have we been?" He struggled to pull out his hands from the cold and heavy kimono, and heard the commotion outside, "Du Zijun and the others..."

"I don't know, it can only be regarded as temporarily safe." He Qin propped himself up from the silk and satin all over the floor, and took off the clinging robe for Wen Zheliu.The color of this coat is very rich and fancy, but just to set off Wen Zheliu's clear eyes and fair skin in such a random way, there is an indescribably wonderful feeling.

Wen Zheliu was eagerly struggling with his clothes, and asked, "Then we now..."

He Qin's eyes were dark, and he couldn't help laughing.Hearing the shocking movement outside, he was not in a hurry, but stretched out his index finger and brushed Wen Zheliu's chin in a casual way: "The moonlight is so beautiful tonight, why bother to take off your clothes?"

Wen Zheliu couldn't help but pause for a moment, first he rolled his eyes speechlessly, and then said carelessly: "Why, do you want to ensnare me? There are conditions for encroaching on me... This ghost belt, hurry up! Help me untie it , how did you get around..."

While helping him take it off, He Qin asked, "Oh? What are the requirements, I'm all ears."

Wen Zheliu said casually: "What are your strengths? I don't want to play with swingers. You need to have some strengths. What are your strengths?"

"Specialty."

"I'm asking you..." Before he could react, he took his feet out of the heavy robe with great difficulty, "Your specialty..."

Wen Zheliu suddenly said: "..."

A sudden silence fell on him.

He raised his head and looked at He Qin in shock: "...I have never seen such a brazen person."

He Qin smiled brightly: "How about it, the spring night is short, do you want to try it with me...!"

"Try a fart!" Wen Zheliu sat down hard on his waist and forced He Qin to suppress the second half of his sentence, "It's like being beaten outside, you are here..."

But he couldn't finish his sentence, because there was finally the sound of hurried and chaotic footsteps in the corridor, and several beautiful girls hurriedly opened the door: "What happened...!"

In the room, two good-looking men dressed as onmyojis in safari suits rolled together, among a pile of colorful and gorgeous women's clothing, one was lying down, and the other was sitting on top of him.

"... Excuse me," the terrified expressions of the girls instantly froze on their whitened faces, and changed into another appearance with difficulty, "I'm sorry! I really interrupted you!"

"Ah, don't get me wrong!" Wen Zheliu was full of complaints and had nowhere to go, and hurriedly stretched out his hand and shouted, "We are... performing official duties! It's dangerous outside, you guys hide in your room, Don't come out!"

So the wandering girls remembered the chaos outside where monsters, ghosts, and snakes took turns taking turns, and hurriedly screamed and fled in all directions.

He Qin got up from the ground, wrapped the robe in the package, and said to Wen Zheliu: "Speaking of danger, I thought I would give you one more thing, although I'm in a hurry now, but..."

Before they could finish speaking, the two heard shouts from far and near the stairs outside the door, and the next second, Xie Yuanyuan smashed the sliding door and rushed in!

"Great! You are here!!"

He Qin: "..."

What he wanted to say was interrupted several times, and he lost his temper. Wen Zheliu quickly asked, "Are you all right, where is Du Zijun?"

"Sister... sister is below!" Xie Yuanyuan wiped the stains on his face, and took the time to catch his breath, "We just came in, and the skeletons outside were fighting with a group of monsters, she told me to come up and find you!"

"Where is Long Ji, is Long Ji okay?" The three of them ran wildly down the road, bumping into many screaming Yoshihara women running around with their skirts in their hands, and He Qin sent them to him politely and effortlessly. aside.

Xie Yuanyuan said: "Long Ji... Long Ji said that the arrow was poisoned, she recovered very slowly, and now I don't know what to do, we dare not pull out her arrow."

Wen Zheliu frowned, he exchanged a glance with He Qin indiscriminately, followed Xie Yuanyuan, and rushed to the room where Du Zijun placed Long Ji.

·

After following the first two people in, Du Zijun urgently found a room below where the guests and the lower-level prostitutes had fun, and regardless of whether the man and the woman were both naked, he just lifted the collar and threw them out. At that time, the ambiguous and sticky smell still remained in the room.

He pushed away the quilt that the two of them had rolled over, stretched out his hand and pulled the clean and large clothes off the shelf, and put Long Ji sideways on the ground.During this process, the mermaid didn't speak, but just stared at him.

It wasn't until she was placed on the ground that she gently moved her pale and chapped lips, and said in a low voice, "You...why do you..."

Du Zijun didn't respond. There was chaos outside, and all human beings were looking for places to hide. Few men and women wanted to escape into this dark inner room, but he kicked them out one by one.

"Could it be..." Long Ji took a breath, "Could it be that you... are good at grinding mirrors...?"

Du Zijun turned his head suddenly, like a big cat with its tail scorched: "Let you... fart, I think it's because you didn't bleed enough, and you still have the strength to guess wildly!"

"Then why are you?" The smell in the room was not very pleasant, Long Ji frowned slightly, and her snow-white and thin fingers touched the arrow wound on her chest.When her fingertips slightly touched the golden arrow body, a puff of hot white smoke suddenly burst out, "I want my strength, I want my flesh and blood...I still want to be with...that woman from many years ago... Same……"

"Stop talking." Du Zijun warned, "If you can clean up the messy thoughts in your mind, maybe you can recover faster."

"I'm a different kind..." She laughed, and the laughter was filled with a strange sadness, "I'm like...the one who doesn't age or die..."

Du Zijun stood in front of the door with his spine as straight as a knife. He looked at her beautiful face under the dim candlelight, but frowned and didn't speak.

"Aren't you afraid of me too..." She leaned on the pillow, her mirror-black black hair spread out under her body, making her even more thrilling, "Sometimes, when I see the way you look at me, I know... You must have met a human like me...you see through me, and you are looking at him through me..."

Du Zijun said firmly: "I'm not interested in telling you these things. When they come over, I'll show them your injuries."

"You are not onmyojis, nor liars..." Long Ji breathed hard, "What are you...? You, and those who attacked me... I will tear them into pieces sooner or later, and let them live forever Survive in broken flesh and blood..."

The pain and blood aroused her madness and animality, but at the same time, it also made her more sad and vulnerable.She giggled lowly, but her voice sounded like a nameless sob, and the whole room echoed her regretful self-talk: "I am... I am Rulong's Princess, my life, my wealth, my Authority... ah, even the emperors of the world are jealous of me for this, but I am for the momentary enthusiasm... I am poisoned, I need an antidote... I need an antidote!"

Du Zijun stared at her, and she also raised her head, looking back at him with a distorted and sickly appearance, but when their eyes met, Long Ji twitched violently, and screamed with all her strength: "But I won't regret it Do you want to ask me if you will not regret it! I am such a woman... Come again a hundred times, a thousand times, when he told me that he wanted to teach me what human love is, I would still agree to him! It's just that I will bring him back to the deep sea, and give him the immortality he doesn't want, and I will manipulate his fate like I manipulate the sea, I want... I want...!"

"enough."

"There is no cure for me! You are so hot, it's strange, you are obviously weak creatures with a lifespan of only a hundred years, why do you have such great enthusiasm and scheming, and can play with me in the palm of your hand, so far you can't extricate yourself... Okay It's hot, why is it so hot!"

Du Zijun shouted suddenly: "Enough!"

His voice was deep and cold, but there was hidden anger in it, Long Ji's delusions and fantasies were interrupted by him, he panted, and stared fiercely at the pale-faced and crazy-looking mermaid.For a moment, outside the door was the noise of people fleeing in all directions, and inside the door there were only two trembling gasps echoing back and forth, making the silence even more terrifying.

After a long time, Du Zijun said in a hoarse voice: "...how can you open your own wounds to others just because of the reason of 'loneliness'?"

Long Ji opened her eyes wide, her black and white pupils were too blue for the deep sea, but Du Zijun no longer looked at her, he turned around, opened the door, and saw his teammates running down the stairs three steps in two steps.

"Then let's make a long story short." Wen Zheliu stood in the middle of the room, and finally had a chance to tell Long Ji his answer.He kept a certain distance from the mermaid princess, and said in a deep voice: "That woman took it away, your so-called treasure—"

Long Ji's pupils shrank imperceptibly.

"—is your heart, isn't it?"

[Main task ②: Solve the puzzle and achieve the clearance condition (1/1) has been completed. 】

[Congratulations to the team: No one sleeps, your progress in the third world has reached the clearance requirements, do you choose to complete the remaining main missions? 】

【whether】

Wen Zheliu was unmoved when he heard the prompt voice for clearing the level, and still stared firmly at Longji's pale face: "She ate your heart, that's why you lost all your mana, and you can even be imprisoned in a mansion by a human for a long time." For decades. You are still an immortal mermaid, but your ability is not as good as before, even though this is your home field, but you can't even handle a poisoned arrow."

He Qin took a few steps forward, gently brushed the smooth and exquisite arrow body with his slender index finger, and confirmed: "Yes, it is indeed the arrow of Hercules, it completely passed through your heart, but maybe it is called The luck of misfortune, because you don't have a heart, it prolongs your lifespan."

Seeing Longji's rare expression of being shocked to the point of aphasia, He Qin chuckled and said, "It's very simple to cure you, it's just filling your heart again the moment the arrow is pulled out. But why do we Want to help you?"

Long Ji's lips moved, she organized her words for a while, and her eyes also gathered the ferocity of a beast: "Let's not talk... let alone how you know this secret, you need to find a mermaid heart Substitutes, you guys have a lot to say..."

"—Gao Tengu's heart, can't it?" He Qin narrowed his pupils slightly, revealing a leopard-like cunning and reckless light, "Emperor Chongde, the incarnation of Emperor Chongde, is willing to be the great devil king, disturb the world, and return with the five Mahayana scriptures." To the heart of the evil Gao Tiangou...isn't it okay?"

Wen Zheliu was startled, but the expression on his face was still unmoved, maintaining his composure and composure.

...What a sinister man!I said, why did you suddenly come to this time of encountering demons, but it turned out to be a misfortune again, causing the skeleton soldiers to fight with the ghosts of the night, and you want to mess with Gao Tiangou's heart... Could it be? Is this also in your calculation, JOJO!

Long Ji didn't know what to say anymore: "Such a cunning human... But why do you help me to such an extent?"

He Qin stood up, looked sideways and smiled: "Don't think too much, it's not that we want to help you, it's just that one of us really wants to help you."

Behind him, Du Zijun was leaning against the closed door, with a gloomy face and tightly shut lips.
