Chapter 18 From now on, he is a passerby
Night Feather glanced at him strangely: "Don't you also carry a few small skeletons with you, and you are still afraid of ghosts?" Mira slapped her thigh: "Yes, why did I forget this, it's good to summon a few skeletons out to explore the way." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
As soon as the harmonica moved, a skeleton soldier with a bone knife emerged from the void, and the soul fire in his eyes swirled endlessly, quite like teeth and claws.
As soon as the skeleton appeared, several screams immediately erupted in the calm air: "What is it? "Hell, help, Mom, come and take me away." ”
With these screams, several translucent figures loomed in mid-air, and they became clearer and clearer. They were surrounded by a round balloon that looked like a large balloon, and their eyebrows and eyes could be faintly discernible from the small balls protruding from the large ball, and they hugged each other tightly, with a horrified expression on their faces.
Seeing that they were so scared, Mira was not afraid, he touched his chin with interest and said, "Are these guys the legendary ghosts?"
Before Ye Yu could answer, one of the balls couldn't help but cry out: "You are the ghost, your whole family is a ghost, we are noble ghosts." ”
Facing Mira's blank gaze, Night Yu frowned and said, "Don't look at me, I don't know much about it, but as far as I know, ghosts are the products of humanoids after death, with memories of their previous life, and ghosts may be composed of many soul fragments, a new kind of undead creatures." ”
Mira summoned two more skeletons out at this time, looked at the ghost trembling under the bone knife and said proudly: "Fortunately, I still have the ability to defend myself, otherwise I would have been assassinated by these guys." It's too despicable to actually play stealth. ”
The ghosts, you look at me, I look at you, and they all shouted, "We are not mean at all, and we are not harmful." ”
"Hmph, don't hurt anyone, what are you doing with us secretly?"
"We're waiting for you to die, and then we'll take out the soul fragments and give them to the King. ”
A picture appeared in Mira's mind, of herself falling to the ground, and several imps sawing through themselves, and then pulling out from the top of her head a little figure who looked like herself, who struggled and wailed, and the sound of pain seemed to come out of her mouth. He shuddered and said angrily: "It's too evil, where is your king, take me to him." ”
Mira and Nightfeather stared at the ghost king in front of them in amazement, his mouth could almost fit an entire duck egg, this king was three or four meters tall, his whole body bulged and swelled like a transparent balloon, and it also emitted a blue faint light from the inside of his body.
The king took the fragment of the soul of a big fish from the ghost beside him, swallowed it in one gulp, grabbed the ghost and wiped his mouth, and then bent down to look at the two Mira with difficulty: "I heard that you are looking for me, is there anything wrong?"
Mira watched as the fish fell down the king's throat and slowly dissipated in mid-air, but the king's belly seemed a little bigger. He swallowed his saliva and said, "Actually, it's nothing, let's just come here to admire the king's appearance, and by the way, how can we get out of here." ”
The king stood up straight, the blue glow flickering and changing, and he said in a sullen voice: "Why do you want to go out? As soon as the words fell, dozens of ghosts around him nodded their heads together, and the scene was quite spectacular.
No matter how much the king persuaded them, Mira and Night Feather were unwilling to sacrifice their soul fragments, and the king was slightly angry and said, "You two humans are really selfish, didn't your parents teach you to sacrifice yourself for others?"
Ye Yu said loudly: "Sacrificing oneself for others, but not sacrificing one's life for others, the king, you can make it convenient and let us out." ”
The king summoned all the ghosts for a meeting, and Mira saw them head to head, not knowing what they were talking about. After a long while, the king sighed and said, "I want to compare my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch." Although you have offended me, this king has decided not to blame the past and will no longer deal with you. Actually, if you want to get out of here, it's not impossible, it depends on whether you can afford to pay for it. ”
"Pay?" Mira was dumbfounded, "But we don't have any money." ”
"I don't want money, what is the use of asking for money? Do you have any treasures with you?" said the king as he took out a lot of artifacts from his body: "You see, this is a magic lamp left by a magician many years ago, and this is a tower shield left by a swordsman, and they paid for it, so I let them out." ”
Mira and Night Feather exchanged words, and Night Feather took out her slingshot and said, "I only have this, do you want it?"
The king shook his round little head around: "No, what do I want a child's toy for?"
Mira also took out the harmonica: "I have a harmonica here, but ......"
Before he could finish speaking, all the ghosts jerked back: "Wow, what is this? It's scary, it's scary, put it away." ”
After a period of panic, the blue light on the king's body flashed: "Human, I'm angry, this king is very angry, if you can't pay the corresponding reward, I won't let you out." ”
Mira hurriedly said: "It's not that we don't want to pay, it's just that we don't have a treasure that you can look down on, and you don't dare to ask for this harmonica." ”
One of the ghosts interjected, "We don't want that terrible thing, King, but we can ask for a fragment of his soul." ”
Mira's face immediately changed: "Then how can I give you my soul, and I won't die immediately?"
"No, you will only die if you extract your entire soul, and if you only extract a little soul fragment, you will almost not feel it at all." ”
The king also became excited: "Yes, yes, as long as you give me a little soul fragment, I will let you out immediately, I think about it, what fragment should I want? loyalty, love, or integrity." ”
Mira asked in fear, "My soul fragment was given to you, can it grow back on its own?"
"Of course not, for example, if I take away your integrity, you can only be an evil person for the rest of your life, and if you take away your love, you will never really fall in love with anyone. ”
Mira pointed at Ye Yu and said, "I came with him, and I have to go out together, why don't you smoke his soul fragments, mine is still for your own use." ”
As soon as Ye Yu was about to express his objection, he was viciously suppressed by Mira and the Golden Dragon Grass, but the king looked at Ye Yu for a while and said: "He can't do it, his soul is too pure to extract fragments, or you are more suitable." There's so much mess in your head, just smoke one of them and you'll be enough for me to play for a long time. ”
Mira looked at Night Feather, Night Feather was also pursing her lips and looking at him, Mila said sadly and angrily: "Okay, just let you smoke, you drain all my selfishness, hypocrisy and cowardice, don't touch my holy soul." ”
"Phew, what fragments I smoke is not based on what you give, but what I want. By the way, what should I smoke?"
A ghost approached: "King, don't be deceived by this cunning human, what he just said is all bad things, we resolutely don't want it." ”
"Yes, yes, yes, I'm not a garbage can, I want all kinds of things, you say, what should I smoke?"
The ghost made a thoughtful expression: "Last time, there was an old man who threw himself into the river, and he kept saying that starvation is a small thing, and a loss of festival is a big thing, and I guess for human beings, this festival is the most important." ”
Another ghost came out: "Yes, yes, I often hear those dying humans talk about what kind of rituals, rituals, rituals, I think this rituals must be excellent, the king might as well ask for this." ”
Mira was taken aback, and clasped her hands tightly on her chest, like a bullied little daughter-in-law: "No, don't take away my temperance, that's something more important to me than my life." ”
A group of ghosts swarmed up and pressed Mira down in layers, and the king smiled and pulled out a small black phantom ball from above his head, holding it up in mid-air and playing with it. Mira lay on the ground and cried, but Night Feather said seriously: "Once you enter the belly of the fish, it is as deep as the sea, and from then on you will be a passerby." ”
Finally, when Mirayun stopped raining, the king said in a sullen voice: "This pay is good, I like it very much, and now it's time to let you out." ”
I saw that the king turned his back and bent down, his round body seemed to swell abruptly, and the surrounding ghosts were attached to him hand and foot and formed many concentric rings, which looked like the barrels of the magic guide cannon at the head of Stilwell City.
Seeing Mira and Nightfeather stunned, the king roared angrily, "If you don't come up yet, is it easy for me to bend over like this?"
Under the guidance of the ghost, the two of them got into the barrel of the cannon that didn't look very reliable, and then they heard the constant shouting: "The angle is adjusted in place, the cannon door is disarmed, the human cannon is ready for the first level, the human cannon is ready for the second level, and the human cannon is ready for the second level, go you." Then the king took a deep breath, and then slammed it hard, and there was a loud pop, and the two of them suddenly shot out like rockets, and Mira faintly heard Night Feather shouting: "So this is 'letting us go'?"
