Chapter 16: Little Boy (Ask for Collection Recommendation)
The silky drizzle fell quietly, and everything seemed to cease to exist in the silence of the alien space.
"Are you waiting for me?"
A voice came from behind him, a little immature, like a child who had not yet grown up.
Wu Chen looked back, the other party was really a child who hadn't grown up, he was wearing a translucent raincoat and walked slowly to Wu Chen's side, under the raincoat was hidden a blue suit and suit shorts, and a pair of white flat shoes were stepped on.
At first glance, Wu Chen thought of Edogawa Conan.
"Who are you?" he asked in a low voice.
If the stele had anything to do with the little boy, it wouldn't be surprising that the other party was here.
"Why don't you ask who it is first?" the little boy looked up and pointed to the huge creature in front of him.
"Who is it?" Wu Chen looked straight ahead.
"The candle dragon was once one of the owner's pets...... "The little boy said quietly, "as for me, I am only one of the owner's pets!"
Pets? Who can have such a powerful pet? The dragon has been dead for countless years, but its majesty is still there, as if all things in heaven and earth are born and killed in its thoughts.
"Who is your master?"
"Isn't it written there? His name is Silent Moon......" the boy paused, "This is the Silent Moon Mausoleum!"
"Silent Moon?"
Wu Chen's mind was racing fast, he was rummaging through the historical documents he had read, and even those myths and legends, but there was no name for Silent Moon.
"Then what are you?" Wu Chen looked down at the little boy next to him, his scarlet pupils seemed to suddenly lose focus.
"I am the city, you can call me the spirit of the city, or you can call me ...... Forget about worries. The little boy whispered, "My master is the Silent Moon, who created this city, and who made me born." ”
"Why are you attached to Chu Ziyue?" Wu Chen asked again.
"Because I'm sick...... the little boy suddenly smiled weirdly, "This space is my disease, the realm of death is haunting me, the space hole will increase tonight, and my lifespan is fading." ”
"As long as I possess that girl, I can get close to you, because only you can enter this space, only you can control the knife that cuts death, and only you can help me!"
The little boy had an extremely strange look on his face, as if he was crying or laughing.
Wu Chen didn't answer, his eyes looked straight ahead, his eyes narrowed into a slit.
"Do you have any other questions? I can help you answer them one by one, rest assured that I have patience, because I need your help, and human beings always say that the interests are mutual, so I will also help you. ”
"What can I do for you?"
"It's very simple, there's a big boss here, you just need to help me kill the big boss, the space where the boss dies will naturally disappear, and your city will naturally return to quiet and prosperity. ”
"You just said my city?"
"Why, after living for so many years, don't you have a sense of belonging at all?"
Wu Chen's face was calm, and he didn't answer this question, he didn't know how much to believe the other party's words, and he didn't know if the other party really thought that if the boss died, the city would return to tranquility.
At least in his mind, defeating the boss would only exacerbate the destruction of the city, and if the boy was really the spirit of the city, then he was cocooning himself.
But that's fine, it coincides with his original intention.
"Do you know where the space boss is?" Wu Chen asked.
"I didn't know before, but I knew some time ago," said the boy, smiling, "remember that old lady with a cat's face? ”
Legend has it that when the Silent Moon revived, it would rise into the sky in the form of a moon, and the crimson light would shine on the earth, and all evil would prostrate at his feet and re-transform into his thousands of troops to reclaim the city that belonged to him. The little boy's voice suddenly became extremely high, and the vicissitudes of countless years appeared on his immature little face.
"That boss is my master, he created me but will also destroy me, and when the red moon rises in the east, it will be his coming. ”
"When the soldiers come to the city, there will be only the two of us here, all you have to do is to fight side by side with me, this mountain of corpses and blood under your feet is our battlefield, and the warriors on the battlefield will fight to the death!"
"I refuse!" Wu Chen whispered, bathed in the drizzle, unconsciously he was already soaked, and he looked a little embarrassed.
"You'll agree," the little boy's voice calmed again, "and besides, I won't hurt the girl, on the contrary, I'll protect her." ”
Wu Chen suddenly laughed, and even couldn't control his body and began to tremble slightly.
"You're threatening me with her?" he said with a laugh.
The boy laughed too, so innocently that he seemed to go back to the old days of his memory.
"Threats are only something that a fool can do, I said you would agree, you would definitely agree!" he said leisurely, leaving only a vague back for Wu Chen.
Wu Chen stopped smiling, because the little boy had already walked away.
The drizzle gradually became heavier, and it turned into a torrential rain in an instant, and Wu Chen tried hard to open his eyes in the pouring rain, but the dim world suddenly changed, the candle dragon disappeared, the corpse mountain and the sea of blood also disappeared, and he returned to the martyrs' tombs that were exactly the same as the real world.
The stone tablet in the center of the tomb group was quietly placed there, but the words on it did not disappear, and the bright red, unforgettable handwriting seemed to be slowly spilling black blood.
Wu Chen withdrew from the different dimension, and his whole body was still wet.
He reached out and flicked his fingers, and the water stains on his body fell to the ground as ice crystals, seeping into the ground like sticky blood.
If it is really as the little boy said, the reborn Silent Moon is the boss of this space, then it is not impossible to fight side by side with the other party.
However, he did not believe what the little boy said, and if at first he was going to listen to seven points and three points, now he could not tell whether even the last point was true or false.
That little boy had an identity that he couldn't see through, and under that small body, there seemed to be a hidden power like the sky was shattering.
Wu Chen took a taxi next to the tombs, returned home an hour later, and stretched out on the bed in the bedroom.
His spirit was only forty percent left, and he didn't use attribute points to recover out of thrift, so he was very tired now, and he closed his eyes for a few seconds and fell asleep.
In the dream, it seemed that someone was calling him, the voice was melodious, and unconsciously a pair of gentle hands were on his shoulders, and slender fingers brushed his cheeks.
Whose hand is that? Wu Chen didn't know, but the voice had been lingering in his ears, familiar with endless strangeness.
......
The phone rang "Ringing Ring", Wu Chen sat up from the bed with a cleverness, fumbled for a long time with the mobile phone, took it in his hand and looked at it, the time was half past nine in the evening, and there was a lot of money.
Qian Duoduo usually reports to him every evening about the situation of the secret realm of Nai He Bridge, and I don't know why he called so late today.
"What's the situation?" Wu Chen asked.
"Something is wrong with my brother!" Qian Duoduo on the other end of the phone said in a high voice, and roared with a rooster in his voice, "There are so many evil ghosts that have just run out of that secret realm, scary, too scary, you come over quickly!"
"Tomorrow, I'm too tired today!" Wu Chen only showed a slight shock, and then said softly.
He could imagine that picture, even more terrifying and terrifying than that, and sure enough, as the little boy said, the space hole increased tonight, and the evil spirits and ghosts ran out like happy rabbits.
If nothing else, tonight is destined to be a sleepless night in the city.
But the accumulation of attribute points will be saved for another day, and he really wants to get a good night's sleep tonight.
"Don't worry about them, just close the door and sleep well, remember not to open the door no matter what movement you hear, and don't be afraid of anything you see!" Wu Chen lazily instructed a few words into the phone, and hung up the phone directly.
He turned his head to look out the window, the city that never sleeps was exceptionally brightly lit tonight, the police car horns sounded one after another, and many rioting crowds gathered together, giving each other a rare sense of security.
Wu Chen opened the browser of his mobile phone.
"The network is temporarily unavailable. ”
Sure enough, the city also began to follow the old path of Nanshan City, and the government departments cut off the local area network in the city in order to avoid panic, and cut off the Internet to the outside world in order to avoid news leakage.
Of course, they are afraid that the news will leak out, because the large number of ghosts and ghosts will lead to the lack of city defenses, and if a city exposes this to others, then it will definitely repeat the mistakes of Nanshan City.
Wu Chen smiled slightly, he remembered that such a scene happened in Nanshan City a year after he crossed over, and the City of Forgotten Worries had entered the era of the city's closure so quickly.
