Twilight War

Chapter 66 Carnival Row

Will you go to this grand carnival?

01

In San Rafael Hospital, the windows on the top floor were open, and the off-white curtains were blown by the wind.

Under the fluttering curtains, the black-haired boy slightly raised his head.

His fingers were cut by the fragments of the beaker, but he still played with the fragments of the beaker, and the blood dripped from his hands like red silk wrapped around the messy fragments.

He turned his head and saw the little girl who was being used as a test subject.

So he tilted his head with a chuckle, and tickled the little girl's bloody fingers.

The girl ran over, but still hid behind the cabinet next to her and dared not come over.

"What's your name? 156? 171?" Huang Xuanjin asked with a frown.

"I'm not called those numbers, I'm called Little Jasmine." The girl said.

"Come here, let me show you something interesting." Huangxuan Jin hooked his fingers again, and he drew a few stars on the broken glass with blood, and then lit the blood with a kerosene lighter.

In an instant, the blood on the glass began to burn, just like the blood of the ancient beast that burned in the second twilight battle.

Huang Xuanjin folded his arms and looked at the blood burning on the glass.

However, the girl just watched with no expression.

"Isn't it fun?" Huang Xuanjin frowned and asked, "The blood of ordinary people can't be ignited."

Seeing that the girl still had no expression on her face, he had no choice but to spread his hands, "Well, it's really nothing interesting."

"Does it not hurt?" The girl frowned and looked at the wound on Huang Xuanjin's hand and asked.

"En?" Huang Xuanjin was stunned.

"Won't it hurt?"

Huang Xuanjin looked down at the wound on his hand, then raised his head and made a funny face at the girl, "I am a monster, and monsters don't hurt."

"Monsters hurt too." The girl said stubbornly.

"Monsters hurt too, but no one cares." The girl said with her head down.

"How do you know?" Huang Xuanjin looked at the girl and asked.

"The fire is about to go out." The girl said suddenly, she scratched the glass with her finger, and then squeezed blood to drip on the flame. In an instant, the flame that was about to be extinguished re-emerged, like a dying snake suddenly standing up and trying to tear it apart. Sky.

Huang Xuanjin laughed suddenly, "So you are also a monster."

He put his blood-stained hands on the ground and leaned towards the girl, "You are a monster just like me. I am a big monster, and you are a little monster."

The girl nodded seriously as if she heard a compliment.

"Are you going to participate in the carnival?" Huang Xuanjin looked out the window and said, "There will be a grand carnival tonight."

Little Jasmine shook her head.

"why?"

"If you're not there when you get the injection at night, the nurse sister will not like it." Little Jasmine said.

"Then do you like injections?" Huang Xuanjin asked.

"do not like."

"Then come with me, nurses or whatever, just leave them alone." Huang Xuanjin said.

"But you will be hated by the nurse." Little Jasmine said a little aggrieved.

"Don't you want to be hated by others?" Huang Xuanjin looked up at the girl and asked.

"I don't want no one to like me." The girl said softly.

I don't want to be left behind by everyone, and I don't want no one to like me.

Huang Xuanjin looked at Little Jasmine, and the wind blew the curtains on the top floor of the Holy Rose Hospital.

He suddenly reached out and grabbed the fluttering curtain, then stood up, blood was printed on the off-white curtain.

The boy bent down and looked at Little Jasmine.

"Then do you want to make a deal with me?"

"What?" Little Jasmine asked.

"If you like me, I will like you too, okay?" Huang Xuanjin looked at the girl and said, his eyes were like ancient mirrors.

"If your deadline is forever, then my deadline is also forever."

"Like is not a transaction." The girl said seriously.

"But I'm a monster just like you. And I'm a big monster with a bad temper. If I don't make a deal, no one will like me." Huang Xuanjin said.

"Really?" Little Jasmine asked.

Huang Xuanjin nodded seriously.

"If you like me, then I like you, do you want to agree?"

Huang Xuanjin stretched out his little finger to the girl.

Everything is clearly priced, and everything is plain and simple.From then on, you don't need to do all the things you don't like against your will, and you don't have to be very obedient to be liked by others.

Because you have made a contract, as long as you like that big monster, he will like you too.And the deadline is forever, forever longer than life.

Equivalent exchange, impartiality, no need to worry about all the efforts will not be returned.

No need to guess carefully, no need to count pennies on what you give and what you get, no need to be afraid to deliver everything.

Like the beauty of a fairy godmother waving her wand just before midnight.

As if being tempted, the girl hooked her little finger on the boy's little finger, and then clasped her thumbs together.

"Let's go then, and go to that grand carnival." The boy said with a sudden smile. He pulled away the curtains that were in the way, picked up the girl who was still in a daze, and then jumped out of the window suddenly.

From then on, you can do all the things you dare not do because you are afraid of being disliked, because there will always be someone in this world who will give you the bottom line.

He's your last card, even though he's a curmudgeon.

Little Jasmine huddled in Huangxuan Jin's arms, watching the two of them jump onto the huge statue of Seraph Raphael.

The wind lifted her long brown hair.

She stretched out her hand to feel the wind outside.

It seems that he hasn't come out of Professor Norton's laboratory for a long, long time.

She has been living in the promise of those sister nurses.

As long as the illness is cured, you can come out, as long as the illness is cured, you can never need injections, and you can never need to take medicine.

It seems that as long as we move forward, the future will be bright and beautiful.

But the young man walked that part of the road himself, and he knew that everything was false.

Those good promises are nothing but carrots hanging in front of donkeys.

Those nurses are not wrong. Only with expectations can there be hope, and only with carrots and donkeys can we move forward.

But if he said it, he would take the carrot in front of the donkey.

He will tell the little girl that even if she dies, it doesn't matter.

Because he knows that life is barren and the road ahead is bleak.

In his words, he would only take her to see the sunflowers in full bloom immediately, and to participate in a grand sex.

The scarlet steam car was speeding on the road with large weeds growing on both sides, and Little Jasmine was sleeping on the back seat.

Huang Xuanjin was chewing a few pieces of tobacco while driving, and the wound on his finger was tied with a white bow.

"In this carnival, whoever breaks off the golden branch will gain eternal life.

Some die and some go into eternity. "

In the first-class compartment of the steam train heading south, Tang De read the words written in the invitation letter that the Black Widow gave to Wisipel.

"What do you mean?" Will asked frowning while sitting on the bench.

"It means that something big is about to happen." Tang De stuffed the invitation back into the letter and sealed it again.

"This sentence has been circulating in the black market Nine Streets since half a month ago."

Wischpel leaned against the swaying carriage aisle, watching the changing scenery outside the window.

"It is said that the relic of the undead earl who disappeared in the Corinthian party 30 years ago - the key of eternal life will be rediscovered in this carnival, and the person who gets the key of eternal life will gain eternal life." Tang De said.

"You're interested in immortality?" Will asked.

"I'm not interested, but it would make me feel very uncomfortable if some bad guy got immortality. So, I will never allow this to happen." Tang De said with a smile.

"Your Highness, what do you think?" Tang De stretched his waist and asked Wichpel.

"En." Vehipel replied somewhat absent-mindedly.

He looked at the distant sky outside the car window.

He has lived in this world for a long time, although what the World Tree gave him is not real eternal life, but it is long enough.

But even he himself didn't know whether he was really alive in the thousands of years since the Second Twilight War.

He searched for the broken soul of this young man in every place in the world.

He already knows the final dusk, but he is still yearning for the last magnificent sky before dusk.

He remembered that long ago, Asgard was inhabited by the gods.

Every winter, the giant beast named Utgarde slaughtered the humans in the courtyard.

But one winter, the always melancholy Bragi asked him, is it worth it?

Is it worth living for the eternal life of the Protoss?

He remembered that in the dark and cold basement of the temple, he held a candle lamp and looked at the young man imprisoned in the dungeon.

He said to the teenager, "I will take you away."

"I will be king of the gods, and then I will be righteous and I will be crowned."

"At that time, you will share my glory."

Black crows flew across the sky outside the steam train, and the train drove into a dark mine, and Wihipel closed his eyes amidst the piercing whistle.

Black Market Ninth Street, backstage at the theater.

Carter had just finished a performance of "Salome" and was sitting in front of a huge mirror in the backstage, removing her make-up. She used ointment to wipe the pimples off her face.

She doesn't need much acting skills in this scene, or the audience doesn't need her acting skills at all, she just needs to be a beautiful doll and dance a stunning enough seven-layer veil dance.

Then Herod would behead the saint for her.

The heavy blue curtain of the dressing room over the broken mirror was pulled back, and Carter turned to look at the intruder.

"My kind father, why have you come here?" She chuckled and looked at Aquinas who was wearing a half mask.

Aquinas strangled her throat instantly, just like that evening, Carter knelt in front of him and said to him: "Why would the owner of the black market Ninth Street recite scriptures in the church?"

The silver-white cross swayed around his neck, and his hand was already wrapped around Carter's slender neck.

White doves flew by outside the Corinth Church, and while panting, the woman's chest was like a frightened baby bird, but her eyes were still looking at him under the black veil.

"Your eyes are like flames burning in the darkness, like the abyss in the dragon's lair, like the dark cave where the dragon lives, like the black lake under the strange moonlight." The woman's finger gently hooked Aquinas's Wrist, she read lines from the play, like a witch seducing the Holy Baptist.

Aquinas let go, and the woman gasped, like a dying swan, her hanging neck and head split in the broken mirror.

"Key of eternal life, are you sure you will appear in today's carnival?" Aquinas picked up the handkerchief next to him and wiped his hands.

"I got it by accident when Black Widow gave the news to others." Carter shrugged.

"That means someone else knows," said Aquinas.

"Of course, but you are the owner of the black market Ninth Street, aren't you? They mine gold in your cave, will you let them take the gold away?" She looked up at Aquinas, with Salome's expression on her face The oil paint is unloaded in half.So she is half a pure girl, and half a witch who charms all living beings.

Black Market Ninth Street, under the withered tree of the gods.

"The last one." The masked man handed a moonstone to the woman in fine clothes.

The woman took the moonstone, "For this stone, you killed several people."

"Five. Madam, as you said, as long as these stones are given to you before the carnival, Elsa and I will be able to stay away from all of this from now on."

"Xia Zuo, how can a person who has seen the abomination get away unscathed." The woman raised her head in the dawn light, "The carnival has already begun, bring our king of the forest here."
