The sun rises as usual, and the days are always longer in places close to the southern wilderness. Everyone in the Smoke Pot Alien Slave Regiment began to get up and do things, they cleaned the grounds, cleaned up, and checked the status of the aliens, as usual. But their expressions were strange again, because the deputy head of the regiment died. Although the deputy head of the regiment has died a lot, last night's death was not the most bizarre. But the murderer who killed the deputy head sat in the prisoner car in a dignified manner, which is more bizarre.

No one believes it if you talk about it in any other place, a murderer sits quietly like a person who is fine, and what is even more absurd is that everyone acquiesces, although they pinch their noses, they still acquiesce.

No one has come up with any sanctions against fools. First, he's a fool, a complete fool. Is it hard to say if a fool is guilty of murder? But I can add one more thing: he is a very valuable fool.

The newly appointed deputy head of the regiment found out in the shortest possible time the reason for the fool's escape -- the door of the prisoner's car was broken. No one paid any attention to this fool, so his prison cart was just casually locked. The last deputy head of the regiment was negligent, and the door of the prisoner car was actually rotten, so the fool pushed the door open and walked out, easily walking out of his bedroom.

The new deputy head of the regiment immediately changed into the sturdiest prisoner cart, and handcuffed the fool's hands in chains. Two thirty-pound big iron locks were stuck on his arms like bracers, and there was a two-hundred-pound big iron ball hanging on the chain in the middle of the iron bracers, which was strong enough no matter how you looked at it.

The deputy head of the regiment was not very relieved: "Does this fool have internal strength?"

"If you go back to your words, you have already carefully probed, and you really don't have internal strength. There was not the slightest sign of cultivation in the acupoints and meridians of the whole body. Except that the qi and blood seem to be more vigorous than ordinary people. There is no other place special. ”

The deputy head of the regiment was not convinced: "Is it reliable?"

"It's the master's own hand. ”

"Oh......" the deputy head nodded. If that's the case. There's nothing particularly to guard against. With a wave of one arm, Hercules was thrown out thirty zhang, and the strength of this arm was indeed amazing, but it was not particularly exaggerated. If you let Hercules come by himself, he can throw farther and fall harder.

However, for the sake of his own life, the new deputy head decided to be cautious, so he launched a number of actions.

The sudden beating of gongs and drums from behind scared him.

Yun Gong forced his heart and threatened him.

Whisper vicious words in his ear to intimidate and provoke him.

Within a day, the deputy head tried everything. But any normal person who is served by this whole set, even if he is not taken aback. There must be a reaction, at least there will be a momentary change in the eyes. But this fool was the same from beginning to end, and he turned a deaf ear to all the words, and there was no difference from the previous ten days. It was as if the death of the previous deputy head that night was a collective dream of all the witnesses, and they remembered it wrongly.

"Is it really just a fool?" the deputy head of the regiment turned his head and asked his younger brother, "What do you think?"

"The little one thinks that the average person is definitely not so strong - but the fool will always have more strength. ”

"Well, that makes sense. The deputy head nodded: "It seems that he is really a fool, just a fool." I don't know if it was for his own peace of mind or what, the new deputy head of the regiment repeated a whisper and turned away. He took two steps and turned back sharply. The people in the prisoner car were still like wood, and the deputy head of the regiment finally shrugged his shoulders and walked away with a low chuckle.

He didn't find out. At this time, the fool's eyes on the world are a little different, and occasionally he will show that kind of curiosity, thinking, and memory. It's just that this kind of gaze is very short-lived, very scarce, and very faint, and most of the time it is still a piece of wood. It was as if he was slowly waking up from a deep nightmare, and his consciousness gradually revived, but it didn't happen overnight. Between waking up and not waking up, I am confused and ignorant, and I don't know when I will suddenly wake up.

In short, the fool's business was put aside for the time being. Stupid and valuable, no one goes to his bad luck.

In addition to the daily exhibition, the entire alien slave group is also actively preparing for a major event: the alien slave auction. Three days may sound like a rush, but it's actually enough. In the words of the old man of the smoking pot, those who will pay a lot of money will arrive within three days. If you can't get it within three days, you won't pay a lot of money. No matter how long you wait, the people who are waiting are just idlers joining in the fun, so it is better to be short and concise, and hold an auction within three days.

The deputy head of the regiment immediately treated this instruction as a holy decree, and the old man of the smoke pot never missed it, so it will not be wrong this time. He said he would come back in three days, and he would definitely come.

Sure enough, within three days, some fresh faces came to Jiyang City. There aren't many of them, but they're all very conspicuous. Some have a bitter face and a deep hatred, some are full of ghosts, and some are dressed in fresh clothes and angry horses, but no matter which one is by no means an ordinary person. Some of these people know each other, some are hostile to each other, and occasionally encounter greetings or mutual vigilance when they are all smiling.

The atmosphere in the city began to be tight, but in the end no one made trouble.

On the third day, the sun rises and the auction begins.

This is not a good time, the sun in the sky will scorch the ground, the weaker will even faint from the sun, and the most boring idlers will not go out on the street at this time. But just at such an inopportune time, the auction began. As soon as it opened, a lot of people walked into this big tent.

First, there were more than a dozen people in black robes and hoods, like Sith warriors. Wearing such heat-absorbing clothes on a hot day, but the cold seemed to be rising in the shadows under the hood.

Then there were more than a dozen brocade-robed people, these people were led by a pair of young men and women, the men were handsome and the women were handsome, like fairy couples, but their eyes were full of arrogance, and it seemed that the world could not enter the eyes.

Then there were monks, Taoist priests, old women, children, and even an old blind man who was knocking on the ground with a bamboo pole. But no one underestimates the old blind man, the more the old blind man on the rivers and lakes, the more he can't be provoked, maybe he is a master. Everyone present was looking at everyone else, wary and suspicious, and at the same time trying to think about the opponent's heels, weighing what could offend and what could not. Let's fight later, so there is a benchmark.

A moment later, the big tent was full, and no one else came in. No one spoke in the tent. The atmosphere was really oppressive. The new deputy head of the regiment coughed twice when he came to the stage. I just wanted to say something about the scene. But I saw the arrogant brocade-robed woman humming out of her nose and said, "Be in charge, come out." I heard that you often go to the southern wilderness, and my aunt and grandmother came here to buy a news. ”

The deputy head of the regiment stammered on the stage, not knowing how to pick up the stubble. But at this time, an old but strong voice sounded, as if an old dragon opened his mouth from outside the sky, and there was no human figure but the voice had swept the audience: "The southern wilderness, the ancient dynasty of the bitter realm, there are countless treasures in the depths of the desert, and this rumor has been circulating for a long time. This is a story that all three-year-olds in the city know. You're all here for this story?"

"Hmph, I'd love to. The woman's nostrils turned to the sky: "My aunt and grandmother have a lot of money and are willing to spend it." ”

A black-robed man also said in a dark voice: "I am also willing to pay to listen to a story, and if the story is told well, there will be a heavy reward." ”

Others also spoke, and no one was clear, but they were clearly all running for the same thing.

The voice was silent for a moment and then said, "No matter how mysterious the Southern Wilderness Ancient Dynasty is, I don't have the slightest interest in exploring. I only have alien slaves here, no stories. ”

"You!" the arrogant woman was about to speak, but her male companion grabbed her. He said slowly: "It's good that the boss doesn't know the story, but does the boss's alien slave know the story?"

"Alien slaves. There are some abilities that are different from ordinary people. can go to places that ordinary people can't go, and can endure an environment that ordinary people can't tolerate, and there will always be some stories on their bodies and hearts. ”

Someone asked, "How do I know that the story they know is the one I want to hear?"

"You can't know, no one knows until they tell a story. ”

"You don't know?"

"I'm not interested at all. ”

Everyone was silent for a moment, but the brocade-robed man stroked his palms and smiled: "Okay, good, isn't this the best part." It's like gambling on a stone to cut jade, whether you can get an emerald or not, it depends on your vision and financial resources, and my son began to like this auction. ”

The other forces exchanged their heads for a moment, and they also nodded.

That's where the auction really begins. The deputy commander, who has been hanging on the stage for a long time, can finally play a role and direct his subordinates to move the alien slaves out. Usually there are five pieces, and the situation of these alien slaves is introduced one by one. Unlike in the exhibition, this time the focus is on the places and locations where they were found, or "them."

The people who came to the auction had some tacit purpose, and they carefully screened the alien slaves and considered whether they were worth bidding for. Some rules can be seen faintly, the more those who are captured in the dangerous areas in the depths of the Southern Wilderness, the more they can be associated with historic sites, ancient soil, and ancient temples, the more they can be sought after and favored.

The ratskin people who drill tunnels all year round, the bark people who can cross the sand sea, and the cartilaginous people who can survive all kinds of mysterious and dangerous situations are all popular. Everyone scrambled to bid, and the highest price was 16,000 taels, more than three times higher than the reserve price.

"Mouse, if I find out that you are not worth the price, you will be miserable. The brocade-robed woman carried the rat cage, her eyes cold to the bone. The ratskin man grinned, one point of weakness, three points of flattery, and six points of obedience.

"The appetizers are all over, and finally it's time for our main event. I think you've heard about them, so I'm not going to talk nonsense. Bring it on!" the deputy head beckoned, and Hercules, the woman in the bottle, and the fool were brought in. Some of the people who had been silent all the time stood up and paid attention, and even the old blind man began to listen.

"Is he Hercules?Or was he found in Yingyue Lake?" The brocade-robed man gently stroked his palms in a chic manner: "Okay, it is rumored that the upper-level nobles of the Southern Wilderness Ancient Dynasty are all born with divine power, I don't know what it has to do with this Hercules." ”

"Alright, don't talk nonsense with them, a stupid big guy knows anything. The woman beside him looked impatient: "I want that bottle woman and that fool." ”

As soon as the words came out, everyone's eyes lit up. The black-robed man said in a sinister voice: "You said that you wanted to auction, but with the skills of each family, you don't have to go." ”

The deputy head of the regiment saw that the atmosphere was good, and immediately said in a loud voice: "The girl in the bottle, from the secret room in the depths of the Southern Wilderness Ruins, the price starts at 100,000, start-"

"Wait. A middle-aged man with a bitter face said, "I want to see if it's really as strange as you say." ”

"Please feel free to check. ”

Hula and everyone walked up, and every one of them was bound to win.

"By the way, in order to prevent people who can't buy it from deliberately sabotage, I think people who don't have the financial resources should not come to join in the fun. The brocade-robed woman kept sneering: "After we bought it back, we found that we only got a dying person who was shocked by the heart. ”

"Hehe, although what you said is not good, it is not unreasonable. The black-robed man was also threatening: "Those who deliberately make trouble, we will not let go of the Shadow Building." ”

As a result, some people were not convinced, some people fought back, and some people began to ruffle. Everyone gathered around the woman in the bottle not far away, and began to make a commotion like a vegetable market, and insinuations like a Buddhist fight.

The woman in the bottle looked at these quietly, her gaze had calmed down, like a pool of stagnant water. She suddenly spoke, her voice weak, but everyone heard, "Will the person who bought me open this bottle?"

Everyone was silent at first, and then the golden-robed woman said condescendingly: "Then it depends on whether your story is good or not." ”

"Story, you mean the secret. The woman in the bottle lowered her gaze, not like a question, but as if she was talking to herself: "If I don't say ......"

"Then I will never live and die to raise you. ”

"If what I'm saying isn't what you want to hear, or if you don't believe what I'm saying......"

"I still don't live or die to raise you. The brocade-robed woman's smile had a vicious taste: "The woman who was stuffed into the bottle, even if she has no story, is good to watch as a spectacle." ”

"Yes, the wonder ......" the woman in the bottle stopped talking. The people in front of them quarreled again, distrusting each other, not compromising with each other, and the more they argued, the more fierce they became. But in the ears of the woman in the bottle, there is not a single sound of the desolation of the world. In her eyes, there were all demons dancing in front of her, and there was not a single human. The whole world is alienated, there is no sound and no picture, only an endless suffocating wasteland. She suddenly knew that she would never get out of this bottle again, and she made up her mind.

Death, or life is better than death, which is easier?

Which is more difficult to die, or to endure life than death?

"Anyway, I'm already tired from being alive, so let's just go. The woman in the bottle secretly opened her mouth and secretly bit her tongue. But she didn't bite down, because it occurred to her that she might be able to do something with her tongue at the end. Before you bite off, do something with the only place you can move - just sing a song. Singing has always been something she is proud of.

To whom?

She suddenly felt a gaze, and when she looked back, it was the fool. The fool sat in the prison car, and the two looked at each other. But in a barren world, this gaze seems to be the only thing that exists.

"Hahaha, bottle, bottle, how many ambitious dreams blueprints, what a stunning face in the world, it was all smashed by a bottle. No one heard the murmur of the woman in the bottle and no one cared, only a fool looked at her fixedly, and she also looked at the fool in the cage: "Fool, fool, I don't know what secrets you have, but let's sing you a song at the end." ”

The woman in the bottle suddenly found that outside the void, a trace of purity and clarity appeared in the fool's gaze, like a star falling into a frozen lake, ethereal and psychedelic. The woman in the bottle smiled, and her gaze was as moving as the aurora. In a state close to death, she spoke:

If you can't see through it, it's your lost soul.

I can't guess, it's your pupils, the color.

A gust of wind, a dream, love is as unpredictable as life.

Your heart, what is it that bewitches? (To be continued......)
