Chapter 6: Dilapidated Paradise
Before he knew it, Mause was in that mysterious city again, this time in a different place. The sky was dark, and in a place that looked like a children's paradise, there were many elderly people gathered. There are many dilapidated amusement equipment, swings with broken sides, merry-go-go-fairs with crooked seats, large rusty Ferris wheels that have long since stopped, and broken and damaged slides, all of which record some of the city's changes. The old men, some gray-haired and some hunched over, gathered in the central clearing, as if they were assembling. Maus, still wearing the white practice uniform, walked over cautiously to listen.
"It's a place I used to play when I was a kid, and now it's like this, I really miss it." An old woman bent over and said with a little regret. "That's right, what has become of it now, and no one has repaired it. Those profiteers only know how to make black money, and no one cares about the next generation at all. A spirited old man said indignantly. We can't afford to be silent any longer, because if we go on like this, our grandchildren won't even have a place to play. Another old man said. We can't take it anymore, we're going to go to that ghost company to petition the boss, we must not let them destroy the city anymore. The other chimed in. It's just that we can't bear it anymore, we have to rise up and resist! "More people agreed." I heard that this place will soon be bulldozed and then another building will be built, is it true? An old man asked the man next to him. That's right, you don't know yet, these profiteers are so unconscionable. The person next to him replied. Let's go, let's go to petition! "Everyone is about to set off. Suddenly, there was a commotion outside.
It turned out that a van had stopped not far away, and after opening the door, many masked young people came down, all of them with sticks in their hands, and walked towards the old people. "Who are you and what are you going to do?" An old man asked. "You don't care who I am, and if someone pays me, I'll do things for him." The masked man in the lead replied. "You'd better disperse obediently, we'll be fine, and we don't want to clash with you old guys." "What? Do you still want to hit someone? Another old man shouted a reprimand. The masked man in the lead glanced around and said, "Then it depends on whether you are obedient or not, if you insist on making trouble, don't blame us for being rude." "Don't you even know how to respect the elderly?" "Didn't you send that company, you were so angry." "You guys know that bullying the soft and afraid of the hard is too much of a bully." The old people argued with the masked man. A few angry old men on the edge. Already started pushing and shoving with those masked people. Mause hid in the crowd, watching the movement carefully. At this time, the situation became more and more critical, and the two sides continued to quarrel fiercely, and the conflict continued to escalate. Soon the masked men swung their sticks and hit the old men, several of them were knocked to the ground, and more rushed up. The scene is out of control. Mauss couldn't stand this, so he joined the camp of the elderly, using long punches and short fights, and fought with them. Just then, the police car rang and a police car arrived. The scene calmed down for the time being, and a person got out of the car, and it turned out to be Tiger.
Tiger still wore that handsome black uniform, along with his short partner. Mauz quickly ducked into the crowd, but fortunately Tiger didn't see it. "Stop, calm down, who's going to tell what's going on?" Tiger said proudly. An old man came over and said, "Mr. Officer, a few of our old friends are gathering here, and those masked men have come to make trouble." "I don't know what it's for, maybe it's a robber, I don't even dare to show my face." Another old man said. "They are still beating people for no reason, you see the injuries on our bodies." More old people are complaining. "What? Bandit! Where is it? Come and bow your head and confess your sins. Tiger shouted to the masked men. In fact, as soon as they saw the police coming, those people had been quietly hiding back. But Tiger's eyes were bright, and he knew at a glance that it was these guys who were bullying people. "Squat down, stay put, and follow me back to the police station to record a confession." Those masked people, their own hearts were weak, and they scattered and ran around when they saw the opportunity. "Stop, stop for me, it's still lawless for you." The two policemen immediately chased after them, and some of the old men spontaneously dragged a few masked people, and the scene was in turmoil. Some shouted, some ran, some caught, some hit, and the crowd was chaotic again. "I'd better not transform, so as not to scare these innocent old people." With that in mind, Tiger had no choice but to chase on foot. Mauss also chased after a masked man, and the two fought on a street corner. The masked man's kung fu was not bad, and Mauss could only barely reach a draw with him. Then there was an unexpected change.
A huge black shadow suddenly appeared in the clearing, as if it was a monster. He stood there and the whole sky darkened. The old men stopped and looked at the sky in horror, and the masked men seized the opportunity to flee. Tiger was also a little frightened, how do you always encounter strange things, what kind of world is this. Strange to say, the huge black shadow did not attack the defenseless old men, but lifted the masked people one by one and threw them into the distance, and those guys were thrown and screamed and crawled, and hurriedly fled separately. The dark shadow glanced at Maus, and continued to pursue the masked men into the distance. Tiger came to his senses and hurried back in pursuit. "Stop, you cowards, and that dark shadow, who the hell are pretending to be ghosts, show me your true colors." Tiger and his partner get into a police car and continue to chase the masked men. Mauss was stunned for a moment, what kind of monster this was. I was thinking that I was in another place in an instant.
It was an open place, a barren meadow. The dark shadow suddenly appeared in the center and walked towards Maus. Mause was at a loss for what to do, when a voice next to him said, "I haven't seen you for a few days, you've made progress, boy." Mause turned his head and saw that it was Master Annu who had taught him kung fu last time. Hello master, what's going on with this dark shadow monster? Mauss asked worriedly. Haha, don't worry, listen to me tell you slowly. Master Anu shook his long, flowing blue hair. Come here, you're scaring him. Anu said to the Shadow. The dark shadow obediently grew smaller, and stood quietly near Maus. "Say it yourself." Annu said to the shadow again. "Well, I'm the Dark Elf, Shadowman. I've been waiting for you here for a long time. The Shadow said to Maus. Wait for me? Mauss looked at the shadow in confusion. The world is going to face a great crisis, and you have a heavy mission on your shoulders. Let me help you, give you my power and make you stronger. The black shadow said earnestly. Mauth glanced at Anu, and Master Anu nodded silently. "Okay then." It seems that Mauss had only the courage to accept it. "After I merge with you, you say that Shadow Man can transform into me, I will help you deal with the enemy, and you can return to the original state by silently reciting the form, remember." The shadow disappeared from Maus's body as soon as he finished speaking. "I still have something to do, we will meet later, next time I will teach you new kung fu, go back." After Annu finished speaking, Mause suddenly seemed to float into the air again.
