Chapter 164: The Caterpillar
Using Alice's decapitating blade, Roger dissected himself alive, from his nose to his lungs, and the mud almost blocked the entire lung tube. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Playing with his blackened lungs, the boy even pinched out a small fish the length of his fingers from it.
"Can you throw it away? You've pinched it all the way. Caroline's face was filled with disgust.
"Don't you want to try it? Sauerkraut lungs, husband and wife lung slices are all delicacies..."Roger held his lungs and asked the old lady in a seductive tone.
"Shut up!never!" Caroline covered her mouth, "I feel like I'm going to throw up......"
The boy shrugged his shoulders and casually dropped the lobes of his lungs.
They had already diagonally crossed the icy abyss to reach their destination, the Eastern Woods.
But it was a bit inappropriate to call this place a forest now, all the trees that should have been green had turned to dead wood, ash was floating in the air all the time, the earth was covered in scorched earth, and sticky black asphalt surged from cracks in the cracks.
Apparently the train had come here one step ahead of them.
The pleasant experience at sea makes Alice unsure whether this is a good thing or a bad thing......
"Are you sure the caterpillar is still alive? I haven't seen anything moving along the way except us. Roger boredly broke the dead branches of the trees they passed.
Only three of them were left on the ship because of the fake turtles, and after Roger's sentence that "the captain belongs only to his ship, and a good captain who is dutiful will not leave his ship and go ashore alone", the turtle firmly believes that he will be a good captain......
They disembarked, but it was at high tide, and it was impossible not to drift to sea when the only anchor of the Griffin was broken.
Roger believes that if an old man who can't even swim reaches the sea, then he will never want to get off the boat in his life......
Alice nodded affirmatively, "Absolon has always been very protective of himself, and he has always been a nervous chatter..."
The girl pointed to the top of a mountain in the distance: "Look, the mountain is smoking, which means it's safe." ”
Caroline looked at the top of the hill carefully: "This white smoke curls up...... Caterpillars are cooking?"
Roger: "I've let you down... I think it's secondhand smoke. ”
Caroline: "Oh... Well......"
A staircase spiraled to connect the foot of the mountain and the top of the mountain, and the three of them came to the temple at the top of the mountain very easily.
The small temple was so open, and a huge stone carving of a caterpillar was placed inside, and smoke was constantly floating above the statue's head.
"Absolon, we have gone through so much hardship not to see a stone!" said Alice, striding into the temple and looking up at the caterpillar stone carving.
"I had to... It's a little stuffy, but it's better than staying outside and being hit by a train. A somewhat muffled old voice sounded from the small temple: "Wait a minute, I'll open the door... Kindness...... Let me wonder where the switch came from?"
Caroline leaned into Alice's ear and bit her ear and said, "This is the Prophet? ”
"Aha! I found it!" the old voice cried out in surprise, and then the floor caved downward, and a large puff of smoke erupted from the opening.
It took a while for the white smoke to clear, revealing a staircase leading to the underground.
The three of them walked slowly, and the visibility below was still not very high.
Roger twitched his nose, the familiar smell was invading his sense of smell, it smelled pure......
At the very bottom, a fat green thing flickered in the white smoke.
If you get closer, you will find the caterpillar lying on the ground, with the hose of a large hemp hookah in its mouth, and all kinds of large hemp hookahs scattered around it.
"Wow ~ good thing!" Roger stepped forward to pick up a cigarette gun and looked it up and down.
Alice, on the other hand, couldn't wait to say her problem: "I can't think of anything anymore, this damn train has almost completely made me amnesia." ”
"A lot has happened, Alice, and time has changed us all. The caterpillar took a sharp puff of his cigarette, and his tone was very pleasant.
Then it pointed in a certain direction with the hose of the hookah: "I know why you're here... Go ahead, there's the answer you're looking for. ”
Alice glanced at the caterpillar that had already smoked and walked in the direction it was pointing with a wrinkled nose.
When you get closer, you can see the smoke-blocked walls, which are inlaid with white wooden doors identical to those outside the Hatter's Castle, and the windows on the doors are glowing with fire.
"Well... At least part of the answer......" The caterpillar's voice drifted through the smoke: "You need to talk to the Queen of Hearts later." ”
"Queen, but she's dead... I killed it. Alice asked with a frown, but the caterpillar couldn't see her expression.
"Like I said, time has changed us all...... The current Queen of Hearts is the one you once knew and loved. The caterpillar said this with at least two more puffs of leprosy.
"Not all changes are useful. Alice said in a bad tone, if it was the queen of hearts this time, then she would be useless.
"Remember this when you meet the Queen. The caterpillar chuckled and didn't speak again.
Seeing that she couldn't ask anything, Alice gritted her teeth and turned around and opened the wooden door and walked in, followed by the siblings.
The flaming wall, which Roger called a "memory projector", still surrounds the island.
As Alice approached the center of the island, the flame walls began to fade into an old parchment-like color.
The girl's face began to turn pale and frightening, and she clutched her head as if she was in great pain.
One by one, the images flashed over the flames, and finally froze in Alice's study last time.
Unlike last time, after the study was constructed, the screen began to move from the first point of view.
A small white hand appeared in the field of vision, picking up the ragdoll rabbit next to him, followed by a black cat at his feet.
After turning his perspective for half a circle, he pushed open the door of the study and walked out.
Roger had noticed that there was no fire burning in the fireplace that flashed by, which meant that the cause of the fire that night was not caused by Alice forgetting to extinguish the fireplace.
The perspective was still moving, and Titi stepped up the stairs into a cute little room, and got on the bed to cover the quilt and get ready for bed without closing the door.
The vision darkened, but there was a faint sound of the door opening, followed by a sparse sound of deliberately lightened footsteps.
The vision lit up again, and with a noticeable tremor, a large cloud of unsightly black shadows sneakily passed by Alice's doorway and entered the next room.
