Chapter 47: Broken Child
The little boy's pink intestines were exposed, and he couldn't help but tremble, and it seemed that he was getting more and more afraid.
Lu Lie was originally worried that the little boy would hang up before he finished answering his questions, but now it seems that throwing out a lot of questions at once has the opposite effect.
He slowed down his speech and said in a gentle big brother voice, "Don't be afraid. I'm here, and nothing can hurt you. β
Lu Lie took another half step forward, and said in a gentle voice, "Tell my brother that the ...... who gnawed your flesh and blood just now What the hell is it?"
"I don't know...... Please, don't ask me again...... I'm really, really, going to hell......" Lu Lie's relief not only did not have any effect, but made the other party more and more frightened, "The Giant Tree God Sect...... The Great Giant Tree...... I believe in you...... I don't dare to slander you in private...... Don't dare to denigrate you...... Never presumptuous ...... of you"
Cult of the Giant Tree?
This is a novel term, and Lu Lie has never heard of it. Although he didn't understand what it meant, he secretly wrote it down at the moment.
Lu Lie comforted the little boy a few more words, but saw that it had no effect at all. He was finally convinced that he was destined not to get any information about the city from the little boy.
He was depressed and abnormal, and finally met a normal person in this city (from the mental state of this little boy, he was reluctantly classified as a normal person. ), but there is nothing.
Lu Lie decided to respect the poor little guy and at least give him a little quiet space before he died. Before Lu Lie left this small alley, he asked one last question:
"By the way, have you seen two other travelers entering the city? a boy of my grade, born with a bit of fine eyebrows, and carrying a basket of colorful fruits on his back. The other was a middle-aged man with gray hair, with a burly build, holding a meteor hammer of dark iron in one hand and an iron fire hammer on his back. β
The little boy raised his trembling little head, and there were tears on his face: "Are they your friends?" Brother. β
Lu Lie tilted his head and thought about it: "Count...... Right. β
The little boy glanced at Lu Lie with frightened eyes, but still answered his question: "I saw that middle-aged man, and he asked me for directions." He's hot-tempered than yours. Before leaving, he almost killed my mother. β
Lu Lie nodded secretly, who else could there be in this dress besides the cannibal. He asked, "Do you see which way he went?"
"I should know. He asked me about the way to the palace. The boy replied, "When you get out of the alley, go to the right, go straight forward for about 5,000 steps, and when you see the intersection where the bodies of the three babies are placed, turn right." Got there, there was a liquor store, which should be ...... now It's still a normal person's drive. The owner of the liquor store will tell you the way forward. β
The corpses of three babies?
A liquor store opened by a normal person?
It sounds strange.
"Thank you. β
Before parting, he thanked him.
That's the only thing he can say to him.
Behind Lu Lie, the mist quickly engulfed the little boy's figure. With a crying voice and trembling, he sang a nursery rhyme:
The great giant tree that sustains us with its body.
Stretch us with its branches.
With its fatherly kindness, love and tolerance for us.
We love it, and we will give blood, flesh and bone for it.
We love it, and we want to make it a monster without hunger, suffering, or pain.
It loves us, it devours our blood, flesh, and bones.
Until we become one, forever, forever.
The little boy shouted loudly behind Lu Lie, "Brother, be carefulββ this city is accelerating alienation!"
The fog on the street was thinner again, and Lu Lie walked in the middle of this strange city, not knowing if it was an illusion, but everywhere he went, the fog retreated to both sides.
It's as if ......
I was afraid of him.
"Speaking of which, that kid is also quite strange......
"He had such a big hole in his stomach that all the flowers in it were running out......
"You can still stand for so long, talk to me for so long. When I left, I looked pretty good. Seem...... It doesn't look like he's going to die at any time. β
Lu Lie walked on the street and muttered to himself.
The way the city operates can no longer be deduced by ordinary logic.
Thankfully, he'd seen countless more terrifying things since he got up the tree. Now there is a bit of aesthetic fatigue, and the taste is not strange.
When Lu Lie came back to his senses again, he had already followed the instructions of the little boy with broken intestines and walked to the next crossroads.
But instead of seeing the bodies of three babies, he saw three slender, dark figures, crouched at the intersection with their backs to him, heads together, whispering something.
Lu Lie was a little confused: No, I obviously followed exactly what the little boy said. Could it be that I am on the wrong track?
He knew that the inhabitants of the city were very strange, and he really didn't want to talk to these strange people unless he had to.
"Hi, three handsome guys. Lu Lie reluctantly raised his hand and greeted the direction of the three people: "I'm sorry, I want to ask for directions." β
The three whispering figures stopped trembling, as if aware of the presence of someone behind them. Immediately after, they slowly stood up from the ground, completely stretched their bodies, and glanced back at Lu Lie.
It wasn't until the three of them stood up completely straight that Lu Lie raised his head to see how tall they were. Their bodies, as slender as snakes, supported their equally slender necks, and the top of their heads could almost break through the sky.
"Sorry, it's okay. Lu Lie pulled out his legs and left.
He knew that he was not on the wrong path.
The faces of the three men were bloated, rotten baby faces.
......
Today's children are developing too fast.
