Chapter 9: Confused Time and Space
Life, or from birth, means a kind of cruelty. To sustain themselves, creatures have to draw energy from their surroundings. Plants get their energy from the sun through their own efforts, while other organisms, such as animals, take energy from other species.
As far as survival is concerned, there is no distinction between noble and despicable in life. Because the noble and the despicable are only a moral standard of human beings themselves. This moral standard is rooted in human society in order to rationalize the overall allocation of human resources. Morality is beneficial to humanity as a whole, but it is not necessarily in the immediate interests of the individual human being.
The man-eating mushroom that jumped out inexplicably can't actually be said to be despicable. It just wants to steal energy from Dumb and sustain itself. Dumb had to destroy the form of the terrifying mushroom out of his own motive motive. Although the process is a little cruel, it cannot be said that it is wrong.
However, the terrifying mushrooms created by the cruel environment for a long time are indeed terrifying after death.
Unfortunately, it was said by the elf. Not long after the mushroom died, the surrounding environment began to become strange. In the sky, several surprisingly large birds fluttered their wings and flew by. It seems to be looking for dumb them, and they keep circling around.
"Ancient birds! Oh my God, it's such a disgusting thing. When Mr. Hat saw the big bird in the sky, he couldn't help but complain.
"Mr. Hat, is this bird dangerous?" Anne stood next to Dumb at the moment, and the two of them looked up at the strange bird in the sky together.
"It's a bit dangerous in terms of size. Mr. Hat didn't know if he was serious or joking, "Their big mouth, our small body, is not enough to stuff between our teeth." But Dumb must have used some kind of technique, so this pile of birds didn't notice us, just hovering in the air. Or you can think about it, these big birds are all around, and we can't even run, so we can only let them wave their necks and peck at random. ”
Listening to Mr. Hat's description, Anne felt goosebumps fall to the ground.
"Woo, woo!" A bird screamed arrogantly in the sky, as if calling out to them.
"The bird was so screaming that I felt my legs and stomach go limp. Anne clutched her arm, trying to ease the fear and chill inside. Their eyes were staring at the big birds without blinking, fearing that they would suddenly find their way and land.
"Woo~ah" The big bird that had been calling the most happily before suddenly let out a miserable scream, and Anne saw something similar to a rattan soaring into the air, entangled the big bird that was the most cheerful, and dragged it to the ground. Then two green leaves as big as a mountain came together, enveloping the big bird.
"It's really a big bird that catches people, and the green leaves are behind!" Mr. Hat couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the scene in front of him.
One large bird was inexplicably swallowed by the huge green leaves, and the other large birds seemed to be frightened by this and flew away in all directions.
"Well, that's a bonus. The big green leaves seemed to scare the birds away. Mr. Hat's tone was full of calmness, as if this had been expected for a long time.
Anne watched as the green hill protruded from the sky gradually grew smaller, and seemed to quickly digest the big bird.
"Jakes, I'm a little homesick!" Anne felt her eyes moisten, and from the time she came to Rock Hell, all sorts of uncomfortable feelings came over her. Anne suddenly hugged Dumb and cried silently.
Dumb didn't speak, just stood quietly and stroked Anne's hair. The two men stood in place for about a quarter of an hour. Anne wiped away her tears and smiled instead.
"Thank you, Jakes!" said Annie, turning around and climbing onto the back of the three-headed dog, hugging the elf from behind.
"Little girl, this is sad. Mr. Hat laughed. "It's almost time for us to get on our way. However, in the hellish place of Iwajiku, how long it takes to meet the archangel depends entirely on luck. ”
The next few people continued on their way, and the psychedelic feeling that had been before began to strike again.
"Where are we now!" Anne felt as if she had taken a short nap in the middle of her journey, and when she woke up and looked around, a chill and all sorts of discomfort came over her.
"Jax, Jakes, how do I feel like I'm suddenly out of sight!" Anne shouted loudly, the darkness around her inexplicably made Anne feel flustered.
"Little sister, I'm here!" felt what she was holding move, and Anne saw the elf's face in the darkness.
"Wow, why is it so dark? I thought I was blind!" Anne looked at the elf, and suddenly realized that the elf's face was gone again, but she did seem to be still holding her.
"Sister, can you see me?" said Anne, still suspecting that she was blind, to the elf.
"I can see you!" the elf's voice came clearly, and Anne now believed she was blind.
"Jakes, I can't see!" Anne seemed to accept the reality of her blindness, and her tone was devoid of the initial panic.
"You're not blind, you're poisoned!" came Mr. Hat's voice. "Dumb, why didn't you protect the little girl, why was she poisoned?"
"Babble!" Dumb said something, or the ancient magic text that the ghost couldn't understand.
"The young lady is fine. It's just a black fog unique to Rock Hell. For the elves of our world, this black fog is nothing in the way. After all, you are not from this world, so this black fog has the effect of blocking your vision. Look at me. The elf's voice came, and after a while, Anne saw the elf's face again, and at this moment the elf was sucking the black mist into her mouth.
"Sister, is this all right? This black mist won't be poisonous, right?" said Anne for the elf when she encountered such a strange mist for the first time.
This poisonous fog, if a person sees and inhales it, will cause visual obstacles. "But this thing is of no use other than to make people visually impaired." If you want a strange creature like an elf, you probably won't be able to eat them all. ”
"Whoa, whoa!" The sound of the elf devouring the black mist became louder and louder, and Anne slowly noticed that the elf seemed to have eaten all the black mist around them.
"Sister, you're amazing!" Anne couldn't help but sigh.
"That's all right!" the elf flickered his eyes wide, stopping his devouring of the black mist. The scene around me seemed to slowly become clearer.
"There's a way!" Anne really saw a path, which seemed to have been made by hand, and went straight ahead, leading into the darkness in the distance.
"Babble," Dumb said something, leading the way. The three-headed dog followed behind Anne and the elf, and after a while, the black mist came out again, and the elf began to eat again.
Anne had no other sense of surprise at the moment, just stared blankly. After a while, my thoughts seemed to be in a daze, as if I was asleep, and I didn't seem to wake up.
In the midst of the daze, strange music, cheers and applause sounded in my ears.
"Welcome to Hell's Pop King Concert! I'm everyone's favorite musician, Witt Wasson. As the most powerful pop king in the whole of hell, I'm here today for a concert. I have already felt everyone's enthusiasm, and now I will sing my song......" cheers and applause exploded in my ears.
Anne instantly woke up from her daze.
I saw two pillars of light, dancing intersecting, shining into the sky. Behind the pillar of light, glowing green, two big heads on the ground, much taller than Dumb's whole person, were talking non-stop.
At this time, cheers and applause were overwhelming, and Anne tried to look around for the source of these sounds, only to find that there was nothing around to make a sound except for the large head growing on the ground.
This made Anne feel the weirdness of Rock Hell once again.
"Unexpectedly, we stumbled into someone else's concert by mistake. Mr. Hat's tone was very interested, as if he had been looking forward to this concert.
"Mr. Hat, is it okay to speak so loudly, there will be no danger here!" Anne was cautious, lowering her voice for fear of being heard by something else unseen.
"It's okay, Iwajill is a very unique space. You see these two big heads on the ground, right? You can go over and touch it, and you'll find that you can't touch those two heads at all. Mr. Hat's tone was very affirmative, and Anne believed it. Although she wanted to go over and touch the two big heads to give it a try, the strange appearance of the heads and the green light made Anne tremble when she saw it, and she simply gave up the idea of touching them in the past.
"In this world, there is a kind of space called parallel space. Of course, I only found out when I heard the old one tell me. Mr. Hat seemed to remember something, and began his explanation again. "These two big heads are really in a concert, and the audience is now sitting in front of him. Those spectators are where the applause and cheers we hear come from. But dumb, is it you who did it or is there a time and space disorder in this place, and I feel the weirdness of this place now. Mr. Hat's tone was a little teasing.
Dumb didn't say anything, and sat quietly in front of the two big heads, as if enjoying the song sung by the big heads.
"Witt Watsson, the hellish king of Titan pop. Okay, I'll listen to it with you for a while!" Mr. Hat said, and the group leaned together with Dumb to listen to the songs of hell.
