As time went on, the noise in the streets became more and more intense.

On the sidewalk, in the carriage, in the window, not a single person's mouth is closed, no one's arms are not moving. Since the outbreak of the war, almost everyone has been in extreme depression, and this carnival has completely exploded the depression in people's hearts, and people seem to have forgotten the devastation caused by the war and the relatives and friends who died in the war, and are simply glad that they are still alive!

It was a man-made storm, with thunderous shouts, cheers of thousands of people, flowers, fruits and flower bulbs of all kinds, and even worse, broken durians found on the ground.

At ten o'clock, in the midst of the noise and chaos, the sound of air raid sirens could be faintly heard from the direction of the central square and the Imperial Park Hotel, but people were accustomed to this kind of sound.

The Beast Fight is the most important and oldest show added by the initiators of the carnival and the one that is characteristic of the last day of the carnival.

Without any other signal, they rushed out of the streets and alleys, and flowed towards Naihe Bridge Street, and in an instant, like countless rapids were cut off for a while, and then merged into the great river, so that this mighty river of people continued to flow between the banks of the granite mansion.

At this time, the noise and commotion in the crowd added a new content, and the appearance of selling "life lights" appeared.

The life lamp is actually a candle in a paper candlestick, and those who participate in this great scene must do two opposite things: keep their own lamps from going out, and extinguish the life lamps of others.

The lamp of life represents life: there is only one way to convey life, and that is God's gift, but man has invented thousands of ways to destroy life, although those inventions are more or less with the help of the devil.

The only way to light the lamp of life is to use fire. But everyone lists the thousands of ways to extinguish the candle of immortality: blow with your mouth, fan with fan...

Those who can protect their 'life lamps' until they enter the Colosseum will be invited to the VIP seats.

Everyone is in a hurry to buy the Eternal Candle, and Jack and Avaichiro are also caught in the crowd.

Night soon fell. With the "Buy Life Lamp! Thousands of hawkers immediately responded with a sharp voice, and by this time, two or three sparks had begun to ignite in the crowd.

This is a signal. Ten minutes later, the light of tens of thousands of candles flickered. It's like a lantern festival. It is hard to imagine such a scene for those who did not witness it, as if all the stars in the sky had fallen and fallen to the ground, and they were dancing wildly together.

And with it was the shouting, which would never be heard anywhere else in the world, the coolies chasing the princes and nobles, the countrymen chasing the city people, everyone blowing, extinguishing, pointing. This is also the main reason why Awaichiro had to bring Jack here, the only candle that was extinguished could only be another candle that was not extinguished.

There are also blatant cheaters, who will take out their lighters in full view of everyone and as if no one else was around, but there are also risks in doing so, in addition to being discriminated against by others, if they are recorded by someone who cares, and it happens that the cheater is recognized as a public figure, his credibility is over.

Every five minutes, Avaichiro looked at his watch, and the hand finally pointed to eight o'clock. The two friends were already on West Street at this time. Avaichiro held the Immortal Candle in his hand, and his eyes looked around anxiously, looking for the peasant who had come to snatch the Life Lamp from him.

Two or three masked men tried to knock down the life lamp in his hand, but Avaichiro was a first-class thug and couldn't let them succeed, and in a few moments he sent them one by one to roll in the street, and then took a staircase to walk away.

The steps were crowded with masked men, all of whom were desperately trying to grab someone else's life lamp.

Jack stared at Ichiro, and when he saw him step up the first step, a man with a mask on his face and a peasant woman's costume came to snatch the life lamp from his hand, and he did not resist at all.

The noise around them was too loud, and Jack was a little far away from them, so they couldn't hear what they were saying, but there was no doubt that there was no animosity between the two, for he saw Ichiro disappear hand in arm with the peasant girl.

"Sir" Just when Jack felt that he had completed his mission and turned to leave, another man dressed like the farmer came up to him, "I'm Taro Abe, and my master wants to see you!" Please come with me. ”

"Taro Abe?" Jack immediately remembered that the person who was released a moment before the execution, he disappeared at that time, and he didn't expect to appear in front of him, "Who is the master of your house?" ”

"I beg your pardon, sir, that I can't name my master here, you know, on this unfortunate planet, there are notoriously spies everywhere, and flies who think they are masters of society, they are everywhere." Taro Abe said, "My master said, if you have any doubts, let me mention a person's name." ”

"Who?"

"Lonely Master"

"Lonely Master?! Grandma Zu!? Jack exclaimed in surprise.

"Lonely Master?! Grandma Zu!? Jack exclaimed in surprise and couldn't wait to say, "Okay, then, let's go." ”

Jack descended the steps. Taro Abe followed him, and the carriage had stopped at the corner of the street.

Jack and Taro Abe got into the carriage. Taro Abe sat down next to the coachman, and the coachman shouted, and the carriage started.

The war brought not only mental damage, but also material damage, all energy was controlled by the military, and people could only get life-sustaining food and limited water.

People have returned to the most primitive state of human beings almost overnight, and can use horse-drawn carriages as a means of transportation to travel, in the eyes of most people, they are already anti-heavenly existence.

Soon came to the city gate, the sentry guarding the city gate found a lot of trouble, but Abe Taro took out a special permit, the certificate can be used to go out of the city or enter the city no matter when it is day or night, Jack looked at the slowly rising city gate, I really can't understand what is the need for the city gate that can be destroyed by a simple missile, and when Abe Taro stuffed a coin to the guards guarding the gate, Jack suddenly realized.

They continued on, and the carriage now passed on a war-torn avenue lined with newly built graves.

The moon had now begun to rise, and in the moonlight, Jack seemed to see a sentry emerge from behind the grave or in the grass, but Abe Taro suddenly retreated into darkness as soon as he made a gesture. After a while, the carriage stopped, the coachman opened the door, and Jack and Taro Abe jumped out of the carriage.

"Now," Abe said, pointing to the chauffeur who was walking in front of him, "let's go with him." ”

After walking about a hundred paces, they came to a slope that led to the bottom of a small valley. They noticed that two people were talking to Shadowstar.

"Should we go any further?" Taro Abe asked Jack, "Why don't you stop and talk?" ”

"Let's move on."

One of the two men was the coachman, and the other was a guard who looked out for the wind. Jack and Taro Abe walked forward, and the guard saluted them.

"My lord," said the coachman to Jack, "please come with me, for the cemetery is coming." ”

"Let's go, then." Jack replied.

They walked behind a bush, and in the middle of a pile of rocks, there was an entrance that could only be accommodated. The coachman was the first to get through the crack, but after a few steps, the tunnel opened up.

Then he stopped, lit his torch, and turned to see if they had followed.

The coachman first burrowed into a square hole, and Jack followed, the narrow path sloping slightly downward, getting wider and wider; But Jack and Abe Taro still had to bend over, and only allowed two people to walk side by side.

They walked like this for about a hundred steps, when suddenly they heard someone's shout. They immediately stopped. At the same time, in the reflection of the torches, they saw the muzzle of a gun.

"The man has arrived," replied the coachman, and he went to the sentry alone, whispered something to him, and like the first sentry, he saluted the two midnight visitors, and made a gesture that they could go on.

Behind the sentry was a twenty-step staircase. Jack and Abe Taro descend the stairs and find themselves standing in a large burial chamber, indicating that they have finally arrived at the mausoleum.

There was a recess that was so deep that no light could be seen inside. Jack put his hand on Taro Abe's shoulder. "I really can't imagine that Grandma Zu would choose such a place."

"Of course, Luo." Taro Abe replied curtly.

"Follow me. Taro, let's put out the torches. ”

"Yes" The torches were extinguished, and Jack and Abe Taro were suddenly plunged into endless darkness, but fifty paces ahead of them, there seemed to be a dark red light trembling on the wall.

Ever since Taro Abe extinguished the torch, the light has been seen more clearly. They marched silently, Jack holding Abe as if he had a peculiar ability to see in the dark.

But Jack himself could use the light as his guide, and the further he went, the clearer he could see.

In front of them were three arcades, the middle of which became the entrance. The three arcades lead to the same tunnel where Jack and Abe Taro came, and to a large square room.

In the center of this room, there are four large stones, which were apparently used as altars, because above the offering table, there are still ritual vessels for sacrifice.

At the foot of the pillars was a lamp, its pale trembling light illuminating the strange scene, presenting it to the two visitors who were hiding in the shadows.

There was a man sitting in the room, elbowed against the pillars, reading a book, his back to the arcade, unaware that two newcomers were watching him through the opening in the arcade, and this person was their leader, Mitarai.

Around him, more than twenty soldiers, wrapped in their cloaks, could be seen lying on the ground in piles or leaning their backs against the stone benches around the tomb.

At the end of the room, a sentry could be faintly seen, silently, like a ghost, pacing up and down in front of a hole, and the reason why one could make out that there was one was because the place seemed darker.

When Abe Taro felt that Jack had seen enough of this vivid picture, he pressed his hand on his lips to signal him to be silent, and then walked down the three steps leading to the tomb, entered the room through the middle arch, and walked towards Mitarai, who was reading so engrossed that he did not hear his footsteps.

"Who is it?" The sentinel was not as distracted as his leader, and when he saw a figure approaching his leader in the light, he shouted.

Hearing this, Mitarai immediately stood up and pulled a pistol from his belt at the same time.

In an instant, all the robbers jumped up, and twenty carbines were aimed at Abe Taro and Jack.

"My lord" Taro Abe said, his voice was very calm, and the muscles on his face did not tremble at all, "It's me, don't shoot!" ”

"It's you, boy." The leader shouted as he made a majestic gesture, and took off his hat respectfully like the rest of the men, then turned to Jack, who was following behind Abe, and said, "I beg your pardon, I was distracted and didn't recognize you." ”

"Your memory seems to be equally short in all things, Mitarai-sama," said Jack, "and you have forgotten not only other people's faces, but also the promises you made to them." ”

"What promise have I forgotten, sir?" Mitarai asked, looking horrified, like a man who had done something wrong and was anxious to make amends.

"Eight days ago," said Jack, "Avaichiro said you wanted to see me, but he never showed up. ”

"Avaichiro? By the way, what about others? Why didn't you come along? Mitarai found out that there were only two people coming in, Jack and Taro Abe, so he asked Taro Abe.

Taro Abe said, "He went with a little girl. ”

"A little girl?"

Jack snorted coldly: "Don't say you don't know, don't say that that girl didn't arrange it by you." It's really interesting, to use a beauty trick on one of his own subordinates. ”

"Why don't you tell me these things?" Mitarai turned to ask his men, who were forced to retreat by his gaze, "Why did you let me break my promise to a gentleman like the Earl, whose lives were in his hands?" I swear to God! If I knew who that little girl was, I'd knock out his brains with my own hands! ”

"Okay," Jack said as he turned to Mitarai, "I'll just assume it's just a misunderstanding, I'm not interested in that, I just want to know why you missed the appointment, and the answer I want." ”

"Okay," Jack said, turning to Mitarai, "I'll just assume it's just a misunderstanding, I'm not interested in that, tell me how I'm doing!" ”

"My lord, I would like to ask, did you come alone?" Mitarai asked uneasily.

"Of course not, why are you asking this? Haven't you seen it? "Jack didn't understand, Mitarai, but the spy leader who was personally trained by Grandma Grandma for Miki, for Miki to be able to stand on his feet, and to do dirty work for him, it is impossible to be so brainless.

"No, no, my lord, you misunderstood, I didn't mean that, those two, one is Your Excellency's fiancée, and the other is the ancestor's housekeeper, I know, I'm asking, is there anyone else besides the three of you?"

Jack thought for a moment, shook his head and asked, "Others?" Why, you've met someone who looks the same as me... Human? ”

"Oh, sir." Mitarai said excitedly, "Don't you see it, it looks exactly like you, I thought it was your own brother, and the body is also bare, a 。。。。。。。 Perhaps overexcited, Mitarai told the truth at once, and when he realized it, he saw Jack's face turn green, and hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand.

"A piece of what!?" Jack said huffingly.

"Huh? Ah, this" Seeing Jack's angry face, Mitarai dared to tell the truth that there was no hair.

"Not a single hair, huh?!" Jack said coldly.

"Who said that!?" Mitarai deliberately widened his eyes, looking at the group of difficult brothers around him, trying to pick a pair of unpleasant ones from the middle and beat them up.

"I said it." Seeing Mitarai's embarrassed appearance, Jack suddenly wanted to laugh, they saw us naked, looking funny, we saw that they weren't it, Jack held back his laughter, and deliberately said coldly, "Why, look at the posture, and beat me up." ”

"Hehe, my lord, how can you" Mitarai said with a smile on his face, "How can you say this about yourself, I resolutely can't agree." ”

Jack clasped his hands to his chest and said with a smile, "Oh, really? So tell me, what's the stick? ”

"Hehe, my lord, I was wrong, I said bald" Mitarai immediately changed to a bitter gourd face, "You adults don't care about villains, just forgive me this time"

"Alas, brother," said Jack, who hooked Mitarai's neck, "you don't know, but we used to have hair on our bodies, but later, because we were poor, we didn't dare to grow hair." ”

Mitarai was surprised: "Huh? "Yes.

Jack continued: "Don't believe it, the hair on our bodies is all plucked by ourselves, save money!" ”

Mitarai seems to feel the same way, "It's good to have no hair on your body, you think, how convenient it is to take a bath, and save hair cream." I hate my black hair, one day, I must be stripped naked, now it's a time of war, every day looking at the bottle of shampoo, day by day less and less, plucking... Does it hurt? ”

"You won't know if you try it. Hahaha! Jack laughed twice, and then changed his words, "Tell me, what's wrong with that brother of mine, you won't do anything to him, right?" ”
