Act XXVII. Animal World Part III
Seeing this kobold man with a red neck, Bai Ge immediately protected the bamboo frost behind him.
"Don't be nervous, huh? Is it still human, it's not reasonable. ”
The kobold tilted his head, his black eyes staring at the bamboo frost.
"You're number one in the first stage, the one who flies."
The kobold said again.
It was clear that he was presenting that he was also a contestant and not the original inhabitant of the station.
"My name is Wu Yong, and I'm from Zhuxia Heavy Industry."
He said in Mandarin.
"Ah......h
Zhu Shuang was surprised, and hurriedly covered her mouth again.
"It's okay, I know, you're from Zhuxia's Holy Alliance Embassy, and I got the news before I left."
Wu grinned.
How to say it, the expression of this big gray dog laughing is really inexplicably funny.
"It's not convenient to talk here, come with me."
Wu Yong said, waving his dog's paws, and after the bamboo frost had verified that he was not lying, he led a man and a rabbit through the alley nimbly to a house on the edge of the supply depot that seemed to have been abandoned for a long time.
"Actually, the easiest way to mask the smell of humans is to urine...... However, it seems that you have some kind of supernatural ability, and you should not have to worry about other animals finding you through smell for the time being. ”
Wu twitched slightly with his wet nose, catching the smell in the air.
"Aren't you an ascender?"
Sitting on a slightly old chair that had been wiped clean, with her hands on her knees, she asked curiously.
"No, if I'm an upgrader, then I'll either be a downline of the Abyss Relic Affairs Division, or I'll already be in prison."
Wu Yong leaned over the corner of the room, as if looking for something.
"Could it be a car designer or something, coming here to chase his dreams?"
Bai Ge's ears asked casually while listening to the sounds around him.
"How is it possible, although I am in Zhuxia Heavy Industry, but I am just a small clerk in the purchasing department, the usual work is endless forms, and entertainment, I have seen movies before, hehe, most of the working people in the old era are like this, it can be said that my work is no different from the old era"
He let out a self-deprecating laugh.
"When I was at work, I was faced with heavy and repetitive chores, colleagues who often stabbed Louzi, and customers who didn't know whether they were telling the truth or falsehood, and went home every day? What you encounter is your wife's chatter? And the son's homework, the gossip of the neighbors? Such a life? It's hard. ”
"So I decided to run away."
"I saw the news [of the marathon], after leaving enough savings for my family to live on? I'm here, sign up? Escaping the same life? Whether I finish the race or die in the wasteland, that's okay for me. ”
"I've heard a phrase before? A person can't choose his own birth? But at least you can choose your own death. ”
"Doesn't that sound hilarious?"
"No, it's brave."
Bamboo Frost shook her head.
"Not this ......"
Wu Yong flipped out a round of tires, looked at them, shook his head, and threw them aside.
"Brave? Haha, but I'm out of luck? The first stage also picked up the treasure, honestly? I haven't played much of that mobile game before.,I hurriedly downloaded it when I heard that I was going to participate in the competition? Cultivated for a while according to the strategy in the forum? Cleared customs by accident? There happened to be no one in the place where I went, and I picked up a treasure. ”
He pulled out another blanket, thought about it, and set it aside.
"However, I didn't expect to be here...... Hey, there it is. ”
Wu Yong figured out a hat.
This hat is like the most common half-height silk top hat in the Pan-Western Sea, but there is some dust on it, Wu patted the hat, stood up, and handed it to Zhu Shuangxia.
"With this hat, you are an ordinary animal in the sight of other animals."
Wu Yong said.
"Really?"
Bai Ge looked at the dirty hat with some suspicion, it didn't look like an extraordinary object.
However, Bamboo Frost was happy to try, and she took the hat, not disgusted by the dirt, and put it on her head.
In an instant, in Bai Ge's field of vision, the bamboo frost was gone.
In his place, there is a tame and kind golden retriever.
She was wearing clothes covered by bamboo frost, tilting her head, and looking at Bai Ge strangely.
"Look, I'll just say it works."
Wu clapped his hands and said happily.
Bai Ge's [Assassin Vision] scanned Zhu Shuangxia's body again, and in addition to seeing the dog fluff under his clothes, he didn't see through the disguise of this hat.
"What the hell is this?"
He asked.
"Well, I don't know what those ascenders, supernatural powers, or anything like that, but I've been in this supply station for three days, and I probably know some of the basic rules here."
Wu Yong sat down casually like a dog, and continued.
"First of all, it's a fairytale world."
"A fairy tale world?"
Bamboo Frost asked puzzled, her golden silky hair swaying slightly.
"Yes, you may have noticed that in this supply depot, humans will become talking and walking animals, this is the expression of fairy tales."
Wu touched his chin with his paws, looking a little funny.
"That's the way fairy tales are, even animals can talk and live like humans, and then, because it's a fairy tale, some things that are too realistic have changed, like lighthouses have become towers, buildings have become castles, and I have found a very important place."
He pulled out a knife from the box next to him, which made Bai Ge's ears tremble, but the next moment, Wu Yong stabbed his forelimb with the knife.
The blade, which looked sharp, failed to cut through his furry arm, and it passed by like a plastic product.
"Why don't you try?"
Wu handed over the knife.
Bai Ge was suspicious and gently rubbed the blade of the knife on his flesh pad.
It is true that there are no injuries.
"Got it?"
Wu Yong showed that smile that would be reminiscent of an emoji.
"This is the world of fairy tales?"
Bai Ge also had a general understanding.
In most fairy tale worlds, there is no death or injury, no bloodshed and no sickness.
Therefore, the use of weapons to kill or injure others or herself in the Sedna Supply Depot is not allowed, and these actions will be affected by the minimum laws and become something else.
It is precisely for this reason that Bai Ge's [Picture Poor Dagger] cannot be used.
And the [Trojan Horse] is too extraordinary, and it has also been greatly limited.
On the other hand, teleportation abilities such as [Vanishing Magic] can be used normally because similar ones may appear in fairy tales.
"And this hat?"
Bamboo Frost stretched out his paw and touched the hat on his head that he couldn't see in his animal form.
"This is the second rule of this fairy tale world, well, I can't explain the specific explanation, but in short, as long as the closed loop of thinking logic is reached through some means, and it conforms to the logic of fairy tales, this thing can become true."
Wu scratched his back ear with his hind leg and continued.
"For example, this hat was just an ordinary hat at first, but I just gave it the property of 'being able to turn humans into animals', and such a hat can exist in fairy tales, so it became such a hat."
"I don't understand ......"
Bamboo Frost tilted his head.
Bai Ge had some understanding.
"This is a frequent episode in fairy tales, after encountering some kind of difficulty, the protagonist of the fairy tale will always come up with something to solve this matter, it seems that there is no foreshadowing, but as long as it conforms to the world view of the fairy tale, it can be established."
"Yes, yes, yes, that's it."
Wu Yong nodded again and again.
Bai Ge didn't understand when he saw the bamboo frost, so he asked Wu Yong for two glasses of water.
"You see, as long as you drink this glass of water, you can become the size of an ordinary cat."
He raised his left hand and lowered the cup in his right hand to the ground.
"This glass of water, when you drink it, you can change it to its original size."
After Bai Ge finished speaking, he drank all the water in the cup in his left hand.
Soon, his body, his clothes, shrunk, and soon he was the size of a real rabbit.
Without waiting for the bamboo frost to fall in amazement, Bai Ge jumped to the cup that had been placed on the ground a long time ago, and drank the water in it.
With a swish, Bai Ge changed back to his original state.
"Good, amazing."
Bamboo Frost looked at the cup of water that made Bai Ge smaller.
"But if you think about it that way......"
Bai Ge asked for another glass of water, and without saying anything, he drank it.
Nothing happened.
"Sure enough, in this rule, the 'declaration', or 'introduction' is a very important part."
Bai Ge said seriously.
He had just silently thought in his mind that "this glass of water can make people and animals smaller", but in fact it did not change, proving this.
"This is actually a part of fairy tales, and it must be known to the audience and readers for this matter to be true, and what fairy tale characters think about in their hearts, if they don't say it, it is equivalent to not existing."
"Spectators and readers? But where are the readers? ”
Bamboo Frost looked around, except for the three of them, there was no similar existence.
"Wu Yong, when you are alone, you can also use this rule, right?"
Bai Ge asked.
"Yes, that's right, I just casually said at the time, hoping that there would be hot rice in this empty bowl, and it turned out to be true."
Wu Yong replied while reminiscing.
"Therefore, the so-called readers and viewers do not actually refer to other humans or animals, but to some kind of abyssal relic, a special existence, as long as it is under its influence, this rule will be valid."
Bai Ge confirmed.
After that, he tried to turn himself back into human water and restore his abilities, naturally, because these were beyond the rules of fairy tales, so they did not work.
Treasure bags that can hold everything, ropes that can climb any wall, and boomerang that can be thrown and always come back can be made.
“...... So the Queen's declaration also has such an effect? ”
Bai Ge suddenly thought.
After learning the rules of this field, he quickly understood the origin of the so-called queen's status.
She takes advantage of the rules of the fairy tale world to create her own world and tries to capture the bamboo frost ...... Well?
The inspiration of Bai Ge emerged.
"Why did the Empress capture humans?"
It's not a strange thing to have humans in the world of fairy tales, but under the influence of this field, both men and women will become animals, so the special feature of Bamboo Frost Fall, which has not become an animal, may not be just the elevated of the beast archetype.
"Human, Queen, Fairy Tale ......"
Connecting these things together, Bai Ge quickly had an idea.
"In fairy tales where only animals appear, if there is a human being, and a human girl, then there is only one answer."
He looked at the bamboo frost, and the girl still had a question mark.
"That is, this girl is the protagonist of a fairy tale!"
"The main character?"
Bamboo Frost fell thoughtfully, and then also showed a sudden expression of enlightenment.
"You mean, this relic of the abyss might just be trying to complete a fairy tale?"
"Yes, that's right."
Bai Ge bowed.
The characteristics of the abyssal relic of the animal world show that there is a "viewer and reader" in its domain, and every move of everyone in the field will be seen by the "audience and reader", so what does the "reader" want to see?
The answer is fairy tales.
Animal World is like a fairy tale book, a place is chosen to transform it into a fairy tale world, each character is set, and finally, when everything is ready, it welcomes the heroine of the story.
That's the bamboo frost fall.
A human girl strayed into the fairy tale world of animals because of a rabbit, and then was wanted by the queen, and thus began a big adventure.
This abyss relic is what I want to do!
And the queen, without a doubt, is the activated will of the abyss relic itself, similar to that of a being like Rafflanzer.
If Bai Ge wants to solve the problem of the abyss relics, they can only face the queen and draw a perfect end to this fairy tale.
"In that case, why don't we make some kind of cannon or something to flatten the tower?"
Wu said with a very Zhuxia thinking.
"I'm afraid this is not a fairy tale, it will be corrected by the rules."
Bai Ge recalled the fairy tales he had read, but they were all extremely long years old, he knew that stories such as the little tadpole looking for his mother were full of Zhuxia's characteristics, and as for the queen or something, he had not seen it at all.
"In a general fairy tale, it should be that the protagonist meets a lot of companions, and then fights the evil bad guys together, right?"
Bamboo frost fell, looked at Bai Ge, and then looked at Wu Yong.
"Indeed."
Bai Ge nodded slightly, and his long ears shook unconsciously, attracting the gaze of Zhu Shuangxia.
"Ah......h
He suddenly made a sound, as if remembering something.
"Speaking of companions, have we forgotten someone?"
Zhu Shuang tilted his head and clapped his hands in amazement.
"Wilbur!"
