The Uncanny Valley Travel Guide

"wig."

"Okay, wig."

"Camouflage creams and waxes."

"Okay, camouflage creams and waxes."

"voice Changer."

"...OK, voice changer."

Water-like things came out of Xie Yuanyuan's backpack one after another. Xie Yuanyuan frowned slightly, biting his lip unconsciously, comparing the pros and cons of the tools under the light.

Wen Zheliu couldn't help asking: "Where did you... get all these?"

Xie Yuanyuan didn't raise his eyebrows: "Some are rewarded by the system, some are bought, and some malls don't sell them at all. I made them myself."

There are a wide variety of cross-dressing sneak props, from the oldest guns to the most sophisticated laser ion cosmetic tweezers, Wen Zheliu picked up a bottle and looked at it. There was a label on it: compound decoction.

Du Zijun wondered: "You don't need these yourself, why..."

As he spoke, he raised his head and looked at the young man at the desk.The question was gently broken in his mouth, because Xie Yuanyuan's eyes were so focused, like a child holding his only coins tightly in his sweaty palms, leaning over the colorful candy cabinet, carefully choosing The only one that suits you.

"I don't need these," Xie Yuanyuan muttered, "but since I've decided to be the best assassin in the world, how can I not do everything? I also took the qualification certificate of disguise master in Uncanny Valley Well, at the master level!"

Wen Zheliu was also dumbfounded, he thought of Xie Yuanyuan who used to run away alone one day at the transfer station and only came back in the evening, when he asked him what he was doing, he just smirked and didn't answer.

It turns out that this child's heart... also harbors a grand dream of becoming the world's top.

"Come on!" Xie Yuanyuan picked out the equipment and turned his head confidently, "Disguise and camouflage both have the emphasis of the focus theory. A man should use a method that does not change his gender to become a woman. First of all, his height and body shape are the same. Sad hurdle..."

"It's fine for me to sit behind the table," He Qin seriously discussed, "If it's not necessary, I don't need to stand up, right?"

Xie Yuanyuan raised an index finger: "This is a method, but more importantly, there must be a center and focus!"

"Central focus?"

"As long as the face is beautiful enough, who else will see other things?" Xie Yuanyuan asked, "The outstanding advantages must cover up any other shortcomings, just like Longji, even if she is hunchbacked, people will not see it again. She noticed this small problem at the time, and the reason is exactly this: when one aspect is excellent to the extreme, it can cover up other deficiencies.”

Du Zijun raised a question: "Won't the overly prominent advantages make other shortcomings more obvious?"

Xie Yuanyuan raised his second finger: "This is the next step! After creating a key point, the second step is to modify the remaining shortcomings. Taking Yoshihara as an example, plump girls like to use loose braids. A gown to cover up her body shape; women with short legs will turn their waist and hips to one side when they sit down, so that the exposed legs will look beautiful. So..."

He cast his eyes on Wen Zheliu, took a few steps forward, and neatly connected the wig for him. The glossy black hair was like a strand of silk hanging down. Xie Yuanyuan pulled up two strands of long hair on the sideburns and trimmed them skillfully. In the past, he carefully said: "One of the most important parts of a man's disguise is the hairstyle. Ji Fa, also known as the middle-parted princess cut, can almost perfectly cover the relatively rigid facial lines of men... um, so in the Disguise Exam This is also the most difficult point…”

Putting down the scissors, he spread the liquid skin wax on the palm of his hand, and spread it thickly around Wen Zhe Liu's cheekbones and cheeks, and then used a sculpture knife to smooth it gently like smoothing the wrinkles on a plaster statue. Zhe Liu's eyes widened, but he didn't dare to move.

"Smooth the edges and corners, fill in the areas that are not soft enough on the cheeks..." Xie Yuanyuan muttered, "Then apply powder...Okay, there is only one makeup missing, and the general steps are completed!"

Wen Zheliu and the other two looked at each other, he tried to raise the corners of his mouth, and smiled, Xie Yuanyuan's camouflage was like a second layer of skin formed on his face, but it didn't feel stiff and sticky...

"Okay...does it look good?" He was a little apprehensive and couldn't help asking.

"It's beautiful," He Qin couldn't help laughing, staring at his tender eyes, "It makes people fascinated."

Pulling the timeline back to the present, it turns out that it is not only people who are fascinated, but also ghosts.

... Ruuaique and Nue have already forgotten the good fight they had just had, forgot that they were still confronting each other over Sachiko, forgot their identities, and even forgot that this is the city that never sleeps, and they all came here to pick flowers guests.Facing the girl's slightly surprised gaze, Nie Que lightly touched his face, only to realize that he was crying.

Do ghosts cry too?Ghosts can only howl bitterly, laugh wantonly, and use the blood and bones of their own kind, as well as the blood and bones of their enemies, to pave a continuous upward path. How could they do such a weak and cowardly act of crying?

But he was crying, but the tears were also as cold as the dewdrops of the underworld, rolling down from his equally cold cheeks.

"Vaguely in a trance, still suspicious of dreams..." Inner Sparrow, with tears streaming down her eyelashes, whispered infatuatedly, "...you can see you when the snow is flying."

Wen Zheliu choked up, not knowing what to say.

"What's your name?" Wei Duan was sitting in front of them, eyes wide open, staring at Wen Zheliu solemnly: "A kind person like you, who is rarely seen in ten lifetimes, shouldn't be reduced to this, come with me! I am willing to be Gao Tianyuan's guide and send you to meet 800 million gods and Buddhas!"

"I...uh, my concubine's name is Wudao Harumi..." Wen Zheliu held the voice changer and replied stutteringly, "I...concubine appreciates your kindness..."

"We haven't fallen to this point." He Qin's golden eyes hid a bit of coldness in them, and he took the conversation with a smile, "It's just a bet with a friend."

Entering the sparrow hurriedly said: "What bet?"

"Just bet...whether we can get the qualification to meet the husband within a month." Wen Zheliu quickly replied, "Please don't say this, betting just for the sake of a moment of emotion is not a commendable behavior .”

Entering the sparrow stared at him obsessively, and said, "It's nothing more than three thousand gold, so what's the problem? I'll just..."

"The ghost's bet is a promise of ten thousand gold." He Qin closed his fan with a snap, his golden eyes were burning like a demon, his intoxicating voice like a spring breeze suddenly sank, and instantly It makes people tremble all over, as if the emperor is giving orders to his courtiers!Ruo Nei Que and Nue froze. Compared with the coercion they faced at this moment, Du Zijun's murderous aura as cold as snow and winter was nothing worth mentioning.

"Whoever breaks the promise will pay the price with his life," He Qin said word by word, "Whoever hinders the fulfillment of the promise will also pay the price with his life. Don't you two not understand such a simple truth?"

The two high-ranking ghosts were dripping with sweat, and they were chilling the atmosphere. When Nue and Ruo Neiqian didn't know what to do, He Qin laughed again, and the turbulent warm wind blew again. He laughed and said, "Oh, my name is Wudao Mingrixia, this is the first time we meet with a guest, and there was a lot of shouting and killing, it’s really ugly, I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”

Du Zijun also came in, his white skirt was as clear as snow, and he sat down next to the two of them expressionlessly. On one side was the gentle spring, on the other side was the sometimes blazing and sometimes harsh summer, and on the other side was the icy winter.The three completely different but harmonious auras spread out, as if the three seasons came to the world at the same time.

"Thanks to Koyama Sancha's care, we are new here...Zashiki." Wen Zheliu smiled and pushed two cups of hot tea over, "Please take care of me."

He is calm on the face, but behind his back he is also a little flustered and panicked, he even forgot the rule of pointing the patterns on the tea bowls to the guests, but fortunately, Nue and Ruinaique have long since given their surnames I remember, I finally fooled it this time.

——Baimugui finished talking about this romantic affair, and said with admiration: "This is the three-season ghost girl who has recently become famous in the city that never sleeps. The time for her husband's appearance is approaching, and there are many legendary women in Yang's house. In addition to them, there are also new ones who appeared recently. The Twelve Girls Group..."

The companion smiled sullenly: "Can't tell, Baimu, although he hasn't got the qualification to enter the Yang House, he knows the situation inside so well."

Facing the teasing from his companions, Domeki's cheeks flushed red and his eyebrows stood upright: "You...!"

Before he finished speaking, the single eye in the center of his companion's forehead glowed with vigilance: "Wait, something seems to be wrong."

A wave of exclamations came from outside the wine house, and at the same time, the lights in the wine house were suddenly extinguished, trapping everything in eternal darkness.

"what happened?"

"Hey! You bastard, why did you turn off the lights!"

The tavern was in chaos, the wandering girl in his arms was terrified and clutched at his skirt, and the hundred-eyed ghost pushed her away impatiently, his eyes shining brightly in the dark environment.He opened the curtain and rushed out to the street with other ghosts, and saw that the lights of the city that never sleeps were like submerged waves, and large areas were gradually extinguished. Only the top of Awa Qiyuan, the Taifu's residence, still exuded endless golden brilliance.The blue fire burning in the center of the city replaced the gloomy night of the Golden Cave. Farther away, the four gates of the city that never sleeps were all locked. ghosts.

Something happened, Baimugui's heart tightened.The blue flames dotted like a long river are the burning souls of the ghost warriors. They are the hawks and hyenas in the city that never sleeps. Such a large number proves that the ghost warriors are almost out of the nest... There must be some rare treasures, or high The high-level wandering girls are gone, otherwise they would not have closed the city gates from east to west, from north to south, and suspended all business in the entertainment venue, even Yangwu was not spared.

The sound of rumbling horseshoes was like thunder trampling the ground. Hearing the sound like thunder, all the ghosts backed away in fear. They were all benefactors who came here to spend money like water. Back away from the nightmarish threat.

Running towards him was Shijiang Naginata Rider.

Hundreds of cavalry, each one is the most powerful ghost warrior, riding the horse of Nightmare, wearing a thousand-refined black steel body, with a two-meter-long naginata fixed on the back, the horse of Nightmare is the weapon to devour demons The ghost horse, made of thousand-refined black steel, is full of blood and fire that can flow through hell. The scabbard of the naginata cannot be taken off at all. It is firmly cast with the armor on the back, because there is only one set of full armor as a storage device. , in order to temporarily restrain the roaring and ferocious thunder light on the blade.Such a team of cavalry could even cross the big river of Huangquan Biliangzaka, so it gained the reputation of Shejiang.

This is the most elite military force in the city that never sleeps, and even the land of paradise, no one can stand against their iron hooves.The Domeki hid in the corner of the night in panic, looking at the violently shaking ground in horror. On both sides of the long street, the glazed bells hanging on the vermilion cornices were shattered by the bang, and these river riders almost split the city in half .

"Did you see a suspicious woman!"

With the sound of howling wind and thunder, he heard them ask.

·

"Thank you very much for your presence. Your presence really makes the shabby room full of splendor." Wen Zheliu sat behind the screen and bowed slightly skillfully, "It's just that time flies, good nights always pass so quickly, we all Looking forward to your next visit.”

The ghost with a green face and many limbs facing him was very sad, and he started to cry, his nose and tears flying together, and he said while crying, "Even if you don't see Master Chunhai's kind eyes, I can't see Master Xia's alluring smile tomorrow, at least, at least let the little one see Master Jiang Xue's thunder..."

Before he finished speaking, Xie Yuanyuan picked up the strengthened high-power refrigerator, and suddenly a gust of snow blew out, knocking the ghost back and flying.

"Get lost!" Du Zijun said impatiently.

"Ahhh, Master Jiang Xue has done something to me, Master Jiang Xue! Ahhh Master Jiang Xue!" Instead of being frustrated, the ghost rolled over, and quickly got up from the ground with all four hands, and went to ecstatically. Gathering up the white snow on the ground, at the same time sticking out a tongue more than three feet long, licking the snow intoxicatedly, making the floor full of saliva and saliva, "I am willing to serve Mr. Jiang Xue for the rest of my life, ah, Mr. Jiang Xue... ..."

The maid hurriedly opened the door, grabbed the ghost's collar and hands and feet with a few hands, and shot him out forcefully. The four of them could still hear the ghost's howl as it drifted away in the corridor: "I will come again! ! Lord Chunhai, Lord Mingrixia, Lord Jiang Xue—"

Du Zijun's face was full of fatigue, at first he still had the energy to get angry, but now that he was suffering from a lot of neurosis, he couldn't even get angry, so he covered his face and asked, "How much is left?"

Wen Zheliu's waist was sore and his back was hurting, He Qin pressed his shoulders for him, he opened a booklet, there was ink dripping all over it, from the first three thousand gold, the amount decreased all the way, he picked up the pen, Erase the bottom number and rewrite "Two Thousand Gold".

"There are still one thousand and two left," he frowned, "Persist a little longer, and we will soon reach our goal."

The minimum consumption standard of Yangwu is 0.6 small fines per hour. Although they are famous in Yangwu, they are still the lowest level zashiki here. Fortunately, Fantou Xinzao knows how to deal with customers, and Koyama Hikari also advises them behind the scenes. Therefore, the meeting price of the three people is determined by the mutual bidding of the guests, and the maximum can be [-] small fines for an hour.After a week, they have already saved [-] gold, dazzling results, even a god may not earn so much money in seven days, Fantou Xinzao, who is dazzling to this level, has two chrysanthemums on his face with a smile , and turned a blind eye to their mysterious origins.

The troubles brought about by high popularity are also thorny. Now they are surrounded by maids when they move. The reception hall is the largest room on this floor, and it is so empty that a ball game can be organized.The background of the ghosts who asked to see them by name is getting bigger and bigger. Fortunately, Wen Zheliu can handle it in critical situations. As long as he looks at those vicious or powerful ghosts with compassion and pity, they will always end up in the end. She shed tears dazedly and bowed her head in silence.

However, Wen Zheliu is not pretending either.The city that never sleeps is a place where the sun cannot be seen all year round, so far away from the noisy and lively world, the prosperity here is just a deliberately manufactured imitation.He discovered that ghosts are creatures that long for love but cannot love. Men and women pretend to be a dewy marriage in the land of wind and moon. Lighting candles means that a good night is coming, and extinguishing candles means a night of lingering love. However, ghosts are bloody. It's all cold, and the entanglement of shade and cool looks like two dying snakes. How can they grasp those warm emotions?

One night, the guest who came to visit them was the six-tailed fox demon. In addition to gold, he brought a peach blossom soaked in dew as a gift.If in the world, peach blossoms are just plants that can be seen everywhere, the daughters of ordinary people can pick one branch for their own hair; but in the city that never sleeps, living peach blossoms are rare treasures, seeing them always reminds the dead ghosts of many springs. The past, and the people who love her with Chunguang.

"I'm here to give you this bouquet of flowers," the fox demon looked at Wen Zheliu and said, "Please don't refuse."

Wen Zheliu and He Qin glanced at each other, and quickly refused: "No, how embarrassing it is..."

The fox demon's eyes turned to He Qin, then to Du Zijun, and sighed: "Miss Jiang Xue showed her sharpness, as if showing me the lonely snow-capped mountains, and Miss Xia Xia...you are smiling, but this smile is a gift for the subjects , Your majesty is as unstoppable as a king. Anyone who disobeys you will be pierced by the blade of death? Only Miss Chunhai..."

He paused, then smiled happily: "Miss Chunhai...ah, Miss Chunhai, you will become an oiran husband. As long as you want, you can do it."

After finishing speaking, the fox demon bowed deeply and left like this.

Wen Zheliu often feels that the NPCs here can no longer be called NPCs, they are more like intelligent life, with life of joy, anger, sorrow and joy.

"Who is coming next?" Du Zijun stretched his muscles and asked.

"Looks like...a craftsman?" Xie Yuanyuan frowned and thought for a while, "Yes, it's a craftsman, and it says craftsman on the gift list."

The short rest time passed, the door was opened again, and a group of male guests filed in. He Qin continued to rub Wen Zheliu's shoulders, and Wen Zheliu whispered: "Be careful of being discovered..."

He Qin leaned down, leaned close to Wen Zheliu with a thrilling face, and lovingly kissed the boy on the cheek.He got out of the transforming device, and laughed hoarsely in the original voice: "I will kill whoever finds out. Doesn't this way no one finds out?"

"Brother, don't mess around, this is not a joke..."

The two were whispering behind the screen, the visitor had already cleared his throat, and stammered: "Well, I have heard of the reputation of the three Miss Wudao for a long time, so I will pay a lot of money to visit you! ..."

Hearing this voice, the movements of the four froze, and they were all stunned.

"Ge Laozi, don't say it if you can't say it, what a shame...cough cough! Well, after waiting for a long time, I still don't..."

Before the sour poem carefully prepared by the visitors was finished, Du Zijun suddenly stretched out his hand and pushed the screen away. A group of people stared wide-eyed, and there were thousands of words in their eyes that were hard to confide, and they all converged into five words:

... lying in a big trough.
