Chapter 139: Armor
The "punk bar-style" of this world of metal pipes, gears, and machinery has a typical flavor of the industrial civilization period, and the interweaving of electric sparks and steam makes the environment here full of uncertainty and depression.
"No, I'll have to get out of here, there are too many possible ways to die."
Shu Kang didn't want to go deeper inside, and wanted to come back, but when he turned around, he didn't know where she had thrown the door he had entered, leaving only a few dilapidated doors, which seemed to be very strange, and he hadn't come in like this before, but he might have escaped from this ghost place.
Regardless, retreat to one of the doors first, open it and see if there is another way out.
Pushing open one of the rooms, after entering, there is another very narrow aisle, without a few meters of roundabout, and two doors, which seem to have lost their sense of direction.
Anyway, let's follow one criterion first: right-hand order takes precedence.
Shu Kang pushed open the first doorway on the right-hand side, only to see that there was a large ramp inside, high and low, densely covered with small blue dots——— those shapes were very like mines buried too shallowly, just showing the roots.
Looking into the distance, it seems that walking along the small ditch formed by these slope valleys is a little bright, and there seems to be another way out.
But what if it's really a landmine and it explodes?
I was hesitating whether to break through here when I suddenly heard a "quack" sound.
Shu Kang turned his head after the voice, and saw a black duck, flapping its wings, from another doorway to "drag" the duck steps, wandering along the wall.
Interestingly, when it saw the eyes of the book staring at it, it twisted its neck, made a "pointing" movement with its head, and then twisted its neck a few times in the direction it was pointing, and flapped its wings a few more times, as if to say to her, "Come on!" It's this way! Stupid, why can't you pay it back? ”
Shu Kang thought it was interesting, this duck that would only guide the way was such a bright "language", if she couldn't understand it, she would be ashamed of her grandmother's childhood experience of taking her to put ducks in the pond in her hometown.
The path taken by the duck is indeed different from the path taken by the "human", where there is more water and where it is low, it will drill wherever it goes.
Fortunately, the book was quick to act, and they all followed up one by one.
Turning around, following the duck guide, Shu Kang was led to a very open market, which was full of people, and the duck stopped in front of a watch repairer's stall, and the stall owner took off the "magnifying glass" in the eye socket, bent down, touched the duck's high head lovingly, and then looked at the book Kang outside the glass repair cabinet.
Shukang was about to ask, but the watch repairer didn't say much, and pointed to a large fish shop in the back right, and then continued to sit down, put back his "magnifying glass", and continued to repair the watch in his hand.
"It seems that often his ducks often bring people to ask for directions, and he has promised to get bored."
Shu Kang thought to himself, but still added: "Thank you, uncle!" ”
The fish shop that the watchmaker is referring to is very beautiful, from the outside to the inside, full of all kinds of fish, and all of them are brightly lit, which makes the colorful world here even more prominent.
The owner of the shop saw that the book came in, and he was very enthusiastic and took her to introduce it one by one.
As she walked, she was attracted by a tank of fish with a pure sapphire blue tail, and the shopkeeper stirred it in the tank a few times with a fishing net, and caught the largest one, and set it for her to see, and introduced that the name of this fish was "armor".
How can it be called such a strange name?
Shu Kang carefully observed, it turned out that this fish, in addition to the tail like the Beijing convex eye goldfish is huge, elegant, pure sapphire blue, the entire fish body, from the root of the head to the tail, is all covered with hard armor, like a general wearing a full set of "armor" ready to go into battle to kill the enemy at any time, the armor is dark and shiny, and it looks indestructible.
The shopkeeper saw that he had been busy for a long time, and the female customer was "just looking at it and not buying", so he lost his interest in greeting her, let go of the fish, took out the fishing net, put it aside, laughed a few more times, and went away to do something else.
Shukang heard a burst of noisy shouts behind him, and his eyes were drawn to the performance stage of another small stage play opposite, only to see a few people above, who were busy changing clothes on the spot for the very beautiful artist in the middle of the stage, and the plot seemed to be related to the primitive "sacrifice" and "killing" in the ancient obscurantist period.
The androgynous "starring" is being delicately dressed up and harshly restrained at the same time: there is an assistant who is putting on makeup for him, and another assistant is tying him, his face is beautiful no matter how he looks, but his body is more and more prominent because of the intensification of the restraints, and the toned lines, under the restraints, appear to be more tense than when the muscles are not tense, and there is an inexplicable beauty.
Under the lights, you can see that the actor's tears and sweat are gradually seeping out, and the more you see his "beautiful and miserable" expression because of the abuse, the more the audience will let out bursts of "screams and applause" under the kind of extraordinary sound under the mental stimulation, mixed with the performance on stage, with the rhythm of the plot, it seems to mobilize all the dark emotions buried deep in the hearts of those people.
I'm afraid that in the hearts of many people, they all have a little bit of a perverted psychology of wanting to "destroy the good in front of everyone".
"Vulgar!"
The book scolded in disgust in his heart for this stage play, then turned his head, and then pondered the beautiful "armor" fish.
Staring, the blue "skirt" with the largest tail suddenly jumped out of the cylinder, directly covering the eyes of the book.
"Ahh
Shu Kang hurriedly got started and wanted to grab this naughty "armor" fish from his face, it turned out that the fish scales that looked hard and bright were not hard, just sticky and slippery, but there was a layer of mucus on the surface, and he couldn't catch it at all. But at the same time, the beautiful sapphire blue tail that was as thin as a cicada's wings was tightly attached to her face because of the atmospheric pressure, and she couldn't pull it down, and her hand and the body of the fish had no friction at all, so she couldn't use it, so she let it hang on her face, and the body of the fish was heavy, still struggling and shaking.
"Wow!"
Shu Kang was poured with water, and the fish that "loved" her face was also washed down at the same time.
It turned out that the shopkeeper came over and poured a basin of water on her head in time, which finally got her out of trouble.
"I'm so sorry! It often loves to jump, alas! Wipe it off! ”
While handing over a dry towel for the book to wipe, the shopkeeper grabbed the net, caught the "escaped prisoner" who was jumping around on the ground, threw it into the tank, and quickly covered the top of the tank with a heavy glass plate.
