Chapter Ninety-Six: The Masquerade of the Red Death (15)

Duan kept putting Arnold, who was already asleep, on the bed in the room, and then he walked to Arnold's parents' room and looked at Arnold's parents, who had been dead for three or four days. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Uh-huh......!"

Duan continued to groan, and then said to himself: "It seems that I am really a kind-hearted person, and one day I will do such a compassionate thing." ”

Duan kept taking out a large piece of cloth from the room, wrapped the bodies of Arnold's parents in it, put it directly on his shoulder, and walked out of the room, and when he walked to the door, he took a shovel in his hand.

He walked all the way to the wilderness outside the city, found a place with soft soil, laid the bodies of Arnold's parents flat on the ground, rolled up his sleeves, brandished a shovel and began to dig directly.

After a while, Duan Jian had already dug a two-meter-square pit here, he jumped out of the dug pit, casually threw aside the shovel that had been curled, patted the dirt on his body, and slowly placed the corpses of Arnold's parents wrapped in cloth in the pit.

After placing the bodies of Arnold's parents, instead of using the shovel that had been curled, he directly found a match, lit it and threw it in the pit, and after a while, the faint light of the match ignited the corpse in the pit.

The "crackling" sound kept coming out of the pit, Duan Zhi stood quietly on the edge of the pit and watched, the reason why he didn't bury Arnold's parents directly was entirely because Arnold's parents were infected with the Red Death and died, if it was simply buried, it would inevitably spread the plague.

Although the entire Utopian country has now been infected by the Red Death, Duan constantly hopes to do his part to let the deceased rest in peace.

As time passed, the fire in the pit had become more and more prosperous, reflecting Duan's resolute face, he looked at the corpses in the fire pit, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.

"Haha! You're such an interesting person, I didn't expect you to take a child's affairs so important and help bury his parents. ”

Just as Duan was waiting for the corpses of Arnold's parents to turn to ashes, a childish voice sounded from behind him.

Duan kept turning his head over abruptly, and the alarm suddenly appeared in his heart, but when he saw the person clearly, his eyebrows unconsciously showed a burst of doubt, but then he suddenly realized.

"Should I call you the Red Death or Prince Prospero, or Arnold?" The corners of Duan Cheng's mouth rose slightly, and his tone revealed a bit of playful mockery.

Yes, the person who suddenly appeared behind Duan Zheng was Arnold, who was knocked out by Duan Zheng and should be sleeping at home now, but he appeared behind him strangely.

Hearing Duan Zhuan's words, this "Arnold" showed a smile that did not match his age, and replied, "Heh! Your Excellency Duan is really smart, you can call me Prince Prospero, but I would prefer you to call me the Red Death, as for this body, ......! ”

Speaking of this, Arnold examined the current child's body, and continued: "I am only temporarily staying in this child's body, it does not mean that I am this child, in fact, I am mainly here this time to find the ...... of Your Excellency. ”

"Stop!"

Duan Zheng suddenly interrupted what this "Arnold" was saying, and said lightly: "Don't you think you're very strange this gentleman?" I don't know you, we don't have much to do with each other, and you're a kid now, and you say something you want to find me, but have you ever asked a contemptible person's opinion! ”

This "Arnold" was confused by Duan Continuous's words and didn't know what to say, only to see that he was stunned for a while, and then looked straight at Duan Continuous: "You should know, I don't want to do any charades with you now, as for the purpose of coming this time, I'll tell you directly!" ”

"Arnold's" childish face showed a strange sense of old-fashionedness: "Your Excellency Duan Zhu, you can call me Prince Prospero or the Red Death, because the two are now one, no matter what you call them, it is not wrong, don't these two identities have anxiety with you?" ”

Duan kept nodding: "Yes, these two people, it should be said that they are one person, they are both related to me, and as for these relationships, I am actually inexplicable." At first, I was just curious about why the people of this utopian country were infected with the plague, so I found you there. ”

"Oh!"

"Arnold" smiled in surprise: "In this way, it is your curiosity that causes trouble, but I believe that Your Excellency will not be unaware of the phrase that curiosity kills cats, people can sometimes live in peace and stability, but it is often their curiosity that kills them." ”

"This doesn't bother His Royal Highness the Prince, since His Royal Highness the Prince said that I am just a person who stays out of the matter, I guess my life is not in danger!"

"That's not good."

"Arnold" didn't say anything when he heard Duan Juan's words, but just said in denial, revealing this bit of grim light in his eyes, as if he was waiting for Duan Constant to say a word well, and he was going to fight directly.

Duan Zheng directly ignored the threat of "Arnold", and smiled indifferently: "Your Royal Highness Prince Prospero, you are really interesting, I haven't seen anyone asking for trouble." You must know that I am just a passerby who knows nothing, that you are so aggressive that it does not seem to be the proper hospitality, you must know that you are the prince of this country, and I am a guest anyway! ”

"Arnold" didn't continue to say what Duan continued, he just said indifferently: "Mr. Duan Continuous, you have to know one thing, you are not from this country, your appearance is simply without warning, and you suddenly appeared here like this, which really has to make me suspicious." ”

"For this matter, does Your Excellency Duan Zheng need to give an explanation, don't you know that you haven't even said hello, and it is very rude to directly break into someone else's territory like this?"

Duan's heart suddenly tightened when he heard what "Arnold" said, but he knew why he came to this place, naturally because Poe sent him over under the arrangement of the program team of "Hell Variety Show".

However, he couldn't just tell the truth to the other party, although he didn't know how Poe did it, and God sent him here without knowing it.

However, this matter is absolutely extremely secretive, it can be said that Edgar Allan Poe secretly sent him to other demon territories, if he tells the truth to the other party, I am afraid that he will be directly crushed into slag by these demons of the "Hell Variety Show" program team.

Duan Zheng made a decision in his heart, and then said: "Prince Prospero is really joking, the contemptible people just see the beautiful scenery of His Highness's country and the simple folk customs, so he deliberately wants to play here for a few days, but he just happened to meet His Highness and conduct a plague spread experiment in his own country. ”

"It's that simple!" Duan kept waving his hand when he said this, and looked at "Arnold" opposite with a smile on his face, completely looking like he was watching a good show.

"Arnold" heard Duan Continuous's ridicule, his face immediately sank, and it was obvious that he was already trying his best to restrain his anger, as if Duan Constant's words touched his sore spot.

"Enough!"

"Arnold" looked at Duan and roared angrily: "What do you know, you think all this is what I want to do, what I want to see?" I don't care what your purpose is, what your identity is, or what you want to do here. ”

"Anyway, you've managed to me off now, and as I said, curiosity can kill not only cats, but sometimes even people who don't know what to do." "Arnold" looked at Duan Zheng, a cruel smile appeared on his face, and he disappeared from the spot in an instant.

When Duan kept seeing "Arnold's" expression, he knew that his words felt like they had hit his sore spot, but he was still constantly provoking the other party. Although this is more risky, for the sake of the excitement of the show and grasping the initiative in his own hands, he has to provoke the other party, so as to disturb the other party's mind.
