128: The God of Laughter and Joy
Countless soap bubble-like things floated in the air.
When Zhou Baiyu looked at the sky, he saw a beautiful scene, the sunlight was refracted by the soap bubbles, showing colorful light, making the sky extremely rotten.
This place, called the Land of Joy, is different from the Land of Lightlessness, which is also named after the country.
It's a truly bustling and lively place, with scantily clad ladies and men dancing briskly in the streets.
The dance steps are a bit like tap dance, and groups of children are singing songs in a light tune, and their voices are so happy. It's like accompaniment to this cheerful dance move.
The streets are filled with a sweet smell that makes you feel appetizing. If you follow the scent, you will see a huge castle.
It's impossible to imagine how much food there is, and the castle itself looks like a patchwork of food.
Bread, cakes, cheeses, grilled meats, steaks, ...... Of course, this is just the exterior of the building, not the material, and this is not a fairytale castle made of food.
But no one can doubt that the food in this castle is inexhaustible. Otherwise, how could it emit a fragrance that permeated the whole land of joy?
"Oh! Is there a big lobster today! Hahahaha, that's great! β
"Queue up, queue up, don't worry, everyone has food, everyone is so happy today, how can Lord Rozan make everyone hungry?"
"Yes, yes, yes, yes! Let's go eat, I must be the happiest one today! β
Whether it is a man or a woman, or an adult or a child, they are all filled with the most joyful smiles.
Every building here does not look like a high-rise building in modern society, because the population is only tens of thousands, but the area is so large that almost everyone here has an independent house and yard.
It's a huge city. And the city floats in the air.
It does not belong to any place such as Hechuan, Imperial Capital, Songjiang, Linxiang, etc.
It seems to be floating in a certain area of the ocean.
He noticed that they seemed to be teleported to the central plaza, where everyone was supposed to gather, shop, and party.
In the very center of the square was a huge statue, a cloak that covered its entire body, and a staircase not far from the statue that reached into the clouds.
Floating steps.
You can only see the steps, but you can't see the building that supports the steps.
It's like a castle in the sky, and it seems quite similar to this country.
There was a huge bell on the steps.
The bell is so large that its outline can be seen even above the clouds.
It is hard to imagine what kind of person and what kind of principle was used to cast such a huge bell suspended above the clouds.
And the light and dust, waking up and impermanent, Wuxin, Jiang Xianwu......
All four Forerunners are immersed in the beauty of the Land of Joy.
"This place...... It's like heaven! It's too dreamy, Jiang Xianwu, have you seen it? How moist these girls are! "Ushin is unbelievable.
"But that's weird, isn't it? Why is there a paradise for mankind in such times? "Waking dreams are impermanent, and I am vigilant.
It is not an exaggeration to use the word Elysium in such a place.
After glancing at each other with Guang Tongchen and Zhou Baiyu, he expressed his inner doubts:
"Where did the food come from?"
"It's floating in the air, isn't it? There's the sea down there, right? β
"Although it is not uncommon for this kind of hanging kingdom to appear at the beginning of the post-apocalyptic era, food can't be conjured out of thin air, right?"
Zhou Baiyu never spoke.
He discovered something terrible.
All the buildings, the setting, the toys, the stalls, the clothes on the people -
None of them can be alienated.
The notes are the same: it's hard to see the true nature of the God-blessed object, but it does protect the humans here.
"Eh, you haven't seen it, are you new here? Welcome to the Land of Joy! My task today is to welcome the newcomers! Great, I have new work in progress to hand in! β
The girl, who only had a few leaves covering the key parts of her body, showed her little tiger teeth and smiled extremely brightly.
Her skin was tanned by the sun, and her whole person looked full of vitality and vitality.
Zhou Baiyu and the others are probably used to the clothes of the people here, that is, how refreshing and how to come.
But the girl's smile really made him feel very healing.
"My name is Jiang Lu, rookie friend, can you tell me your name? I'll remember it! β
"Jiang Xianwu."
"And light."
"Wake up to a dream."
"Ushin."
did not report his name that obviously did not conform to the style of the locals, and his name was reduced to the same dust as the light and the impermanence of waking dreams.
"Wow, your surname is Jiang, what a coincidence. Welcome to the Land of Joy again, no matter where you're from, but when you get here, you can relax, don't keep your face strained, and laugh! β
Jiang Lu said happily.
Zhou Baiyu and the others were currently confused, this place was indeed different from all the places that had been recruited in the past, and he had to say:
"Hello Jiang Lu, nice to meet you. Did you grow up here? β
Jiang Lu smiled and shook his head:
"No, very few of us are here all the time. Everyone is displaced in the last days, but here with hope! β
"I was still in Songjiang City before, and I was chased by a monster for a long time, hahahaha, and now I am scared when I think about it."
"I thought I was going to die, but when I woke up, I was here!"
"Hahaha, I thought I was going to heaven! This place really feels like paradise, right? β
Wu Xin was a little emotional, and the girl recalled the past experience, and she no longer showed fear, only the brightest smile.
This place...... It really made them feel extremely relieved.
He came here with suspicion. Question all the good things about the land of joy.
But deep down, Ushin hopes to erase this doubt.
He hoped that the statement that he was with the light and dust was right. It's a paradise, and the demons are looking for it.
He was willing to give up everything to protect a place like this.
Because this place ...... It's so happy.
Especially when I saw Jiang Lu's life behind him - people are happy events.
He became more and more convinced that this place was indeed a paradise.
Most people can see the convergence of fate behind them, and Wuxin even sees the impermanence of waking dreams, and the luck of Jiang Xianwu with light and dust.
It's all auspicious.
This means that, in terms of cause and effect, everyone has come to a safe place.
It is indeed an accident that version 2.0 can have such a place.
There are many things in this world that can deceive people, but cause and effect and fate do not deceive people, and Wuxin absolutely believes everything he sees.
ε¨η½ζ¦ says:
"Are you so happy every day? Don't need to do anything else? β
"Oh, we have to work too. It's the big beauty Poluk who helps us arrange the work, hehe, because there are often newcomers coming, my job today is to receive newcomers! β
"Some of the people who come here will be lucky enough to stay for a while and then be transferred to Area B, which is said to be a place that is more like paradise than here."
"Only if you work hard and bring enough happiness to other people will you be eligible to go to Zone B, so in order to be able to go to Zone B early, I will treat you well!"
"That's right, you won't have to worry about all the troubles of the world below, you will have spacious accommodation, and you will have delicious food! Of course, please remember to find the most beautiful woman, Lord Poluk, to arrange a job, because it is not good to get something for nothing! β
Jiang Lu is always happy, and when she introduces various rules, her body dances to the music that rings in her ears.
Such a rhythm seems to be easily contagious.
Rao is always frowning, with a murderous awake dream, deep down, I also feel the cuteness of this girl.
The same is true of the light and dust, watching the people around him come out of the castle one after another, some touching their stomachs and looking satisfied, while others are holding food and jumping up and down to show off......
Everyone is happy, everyone looks like they are free of food and clothing...... Even if he has doubts in his heart, he will unconsciously smile when he sees such a scene.
This is the world he wants to see, it seems too fairytale, but such a world is really beautiful.
Wuxin, waking up and dreaming impermanently, and the light and dust, and Zhou Baiyu still have great vigilance against this world.
However, except for Zhou Baiyu, under the observation of the other three people, joy surged in their hearts.
There is still such a place. Happiness seems to be contagious, and watching everyone bounce and party, they certainly don't forget their mission, but they also want to know more about the world and experience the joy here.
Zhou Baiyu had a lot of questions in his mind, and he still asked Jiang Lu:
"Do you collect food at work? It looks like it's floating in the air, and you can see the border in the distance. β
Jiang Lu showed a smug look:
"Food? This is the least thing to worry about. This is the greatest miracle of all! β
"As long as everyone works hard to make the people around them feel comforted and happy, there will be no shortage of food. The person in charge of distributing and preparing the food is Lord Rozan! Lord Rozan is very powerful! β
Zhou Baiyu became vigilant.
In fact, with the light and dust, waking up and dreaming impermanently, Wuxin also felt that something was wrong.
Let the people around you get comfort and happiness, and there will be no food shortage?
What kind of ideal country is this?
"What do you mean, as long as everyone is happy, the food will come automatically?"
Jiang Lu's answer surprised everyone, but it seemed to explain some problems:
"Yes, this place is blessed by the god of laughter and happiness, happiness is the source of divine power, as long as everyone is happy enough, the great god can protect everyone forever."
The god of laughter and pleasure?
has been with Konstantin for a long time, except for Usin, the rest of the people basically know more about the system of the old and new gods.
Zhou Baiyu frowned.
He still remembered what A had said, that the power of the new gods could not reach the Longxia Kingdom for the time being.
So what's the deal with this god of laughter and joy?
He faintly thought of the god of the night of the night of the night of the night, the god of nightmares and nothingness.
Reminiscent of what Sister Lin said, this is a newly opened area.
It occurred to me...... Could it be that there are really people in this world who have completed the divine mandate?
Although the update announcement is concerned, version 2.33, I came into contact with the treasures of the gods and learned about the divine grants.
But in fact, Eternal Night should have started building the Lightless Nation before 2.23 or even earlier.
And before the eternal night, was there really no one else trying to become a god?
Thinking like this, Zhou Baiyu looked at the huge statue:
"This is the statue of God?"
The colossal statue is a creature in human form, cloaked and tightly covered, like some esoteric believer, or some ancient sorcerer.
It opened its arms and embraced the world, but even the face was obscured, revealing only its eyes.
The statue is vividly depicted.
When Jiang Lu looked at the statue, he showed reverence:
"Yes, this is the idol of the great god, the god of laughter and pleasure."
"Your Excellency, the god of laughter and happiness, is the best god for mankind in this world!"
"Ah, the first time I came, I was also received, I hadn't eaten for two days at that time, and my first reaction when I ate bread was how it was so delicious...... What if I can't eat it in the future, I really want to hide the food. β
Anyone who has experienced the end of the world has had the experience of having to restrain oneself and divide a piece of food into several meals.
"But then I found out that I don't have to hide food carefully, and the last thing I need here is food."
"Lord God of Laughter and Happiness, whose grace keeps people away from strife and hunger!"
Speaking of this, Jiang Lu almost wanted to kneel down and kiss the toes of the idol.
Zhou Baiyu nodded, and also pretended to be reverent:
"I didn't expect there to be such a god in this world, so what's going on with the staircase next to the statue?"
Hearing the question about the ladder, the smile on Jiang Lu's face suddenly stiffened. But it was only for a brief moment, and she immediately adjusted her posture:
"Hahaha, there's a huge bell on it, but I don't know what it's for."
"We don't know who built the staircase, we don't know why the man built it next to the statue, and we don't know why there is a bell at the top of the staircase, hahaha...... Ha ha. β
"No one seems to know what that bell does, and it's best not to ask about it, for someone has asked a few adults, whether it's Lord Poluck or Lord Rozan...... They all say it's not a happy topic. β
Jiang Lu's expression was a little weird.
Zhou Baiyu suddenly patted Jiang Lu's shoulder and patted it three times:
"Don't be nervous, we love it here."
He gave a standard smirk. The smile like a service industry, coupled with the peerless face of Brother Zhou Hunt, made Jiang Lu in a trance.
"Do we need to register or something? By the way, how are we supposed to get out of here? β
Zhou Baiyu asked how to stay here and how to leave here.
Jiang Lu is also a very competent novice receptionist.
"I'll take you to register, help you go through all the formalities, or that's the sentence, come here, just enjoy life happily, everything here is to make people happy!"
"After you register, you will be given a place to live. Rest assured, it's definitely a very spacious, bright, dry and warm accommodation! β
"Oh, by the way, the newcomers have just been here for a few days, they just need to rest, they don't need to work here, the whole happy country, anywhere, you can go wherever you want, you can experience anything."
"But - don't climb the steps, don't climb the steps, don't climb the steps."
"Hehehehe, I'm so happy, Jiang Xianwu, I'm so happy to know you!"
Jiang Lu danced with her hands.
In the eyes of the people who wake up with the light and the impermanence, the girl is as happy as seeing a little friend.
But Zhou Baiyu always felt that this was something worth being so happy about?
He looked around and saw that everyone was happy. But human beings are a creature that is difficult to satisfy.
When a happy life becomes a norm, can you still be so happy all the time?
He felt that something was wrong. But I can't really say.
"How do we get out of here?" Zhou Baiyu asked this question again.
Jiang Lu's smile faded a little, and her eyes became a little dim, but after looking at it, she still looked happy:
"Why do you keep thinking about leaving, Jiang Xianwu, you stay first, hehe, stay a few more days, you won't want to leave, this is the only pure land in the last days."
"But if Jiang Xianwu really wants to leave, it's not impossible, you have to contact Lord Io."
Zhou Baiyu asked:
"Who's that?"
"Lord Rozan is in charge of the food, Lord Poluk is in charge of arranging the work, and Lord Io is in charge of arranging promotions."
"It's also responsible for leaving here. However, for safety reasons, if you want to leave the Land of Joy, your memories of your stay in the Land of Joy will be erased. β
"If you accept this, you can leave through Lord Io."
Zhou Baiyu has a clue.
"Thank you, Jiang Lu, you did a great job. When I meet Master Poluk, I'll be sure to compliment you with her. β
"Ah...... Hahahaha, hahaha, its ...... Actually, no, I just did my job, how can this be called great, hahahaha, I'm really happy to be said like this, but please don't do it, hahahahaha, don't do it. β
Jiang Lu smiled.
Zhou Baiyu always felt that the girl seemed to be a little scared.
In fact, when talking about the ladder, he noticed something unusual.
But oddly enough, he didn't see any emotion of fear.
The smile will be stiff, it will fade, and it will look weird, but the smile is the smile, and he didn't see a trace of forced laughter on Jiang Lu's face to suppress the feeling of panic in his heart.
This is what Zhou Baiyu can't understand the most.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
In the next hour or so, Jiang Lu led Zhou Baiyu and others to handle accommodation.
The dwellings of several people are relatively far apart.
It is said that it happens that someone else has been promoted to Zone B to vacate the new residence.
These residences are really spacious, Zhou Baiyu thought about it, the more apocalyptic it is, the rarer such a place is.
If the house here can be auctioned, I'm afraid that those who are running around in the last days will be willing to abandon their wives and children and ask to live in, right?
It is hard to imagine that in the sky, there will be such a kingdom without strife.
The residence has all the facilities and even TV can be watched.
But these shows seem to be comedy movies from a long time ago.
Zhou Baiyu watched a few movies in the afternoon, and through these movies, he felt that the advance world and the real world were really similar.
In the real world, there really is a Stephen Chow, a master of comedy, who has acted in countless nonsensical comedies.
In the Advance World, there is also a similar one.
It's just that the content of the movie is basically different, but the style is very similar.
It's like another week in another world.
Zhou Baiyu was thinking, he found out that the two worlds were not the same world through Dr. A, I don't know if they will be there, have you noticed this?
Some of the things in Dr. A's notes, although they have proven to be limited, also have some useful information, and it may be worth considering telling a few friends.
Of course, the focus is still on the land of joy.
After watching a few movies, Zhou Baiyu was a little hungry, and Jiang Lu had already come to Zhou Baiyu's residence after arranging the employment outside.
These women, who can be said to be almost unobstructed all over their bodies, all have sweet smiles.
According to Jiang Lu, everyone has been assigned to work.
Today it is this group of people who serve others, and tomorrow it may be others who serve them.
Some of them helped Zhou Baiyu clean up the house, while others took Zhou Baiyu through the streets to the gourmet castle under the jurisdiction of Rozan.
In the food castle, there are countless delicacies from the mountains and seas.
Rozan wears a tall chef's hat and is a burly man, but like the statue, he is covered all over his body.
Zhou Baiyu was originally a little worried about food, but he also understood one thing-
This conscription has no purpose, the conditions for customs clearance, and the conditions for failure are all unknown.
There's a good chance you'll have to explore here for a long, long time before you find a clue.
Whether it's to investigate the hidden secrets of the Land of Joy, the Staircase, the Idols, Rozan, Io, Poluk, etc., or to guard the place......
Obviously, it will take quite a long time.
You can't go without eating all the time.
So after thinking about it, Zhou Baiyu opened his belly and feasted happily.
The food here can be said to be piled up. And all the food, it's top-notch.
Zhou Baiyu found that even in the real world, it was difficult for him to eat such delicious food.
He gradually let his guard down - strange.
The more this is the case, the more strange he feels in pursuit of rationality.
"You're just a god of laughter and happiness, you're not a god of cooking and food. The more food there is, the more delicious it is, the more unreasonable it is, isn't it? β
Of course, Zhou Baiyu didn't show it, he even showed a fake smile, looking quite happy.
But a few partners, but they are really happy.
They are even happier at the thought that they will be able to bring more food to the place.
It's okay to wake up to the impermanence of the light, but Wuxin has been locked up in the country of no light for many years.
He was not only happy, but even jealous:
"Some people are drafted and assigned to the land of no light and cannot eat food for several years, while others are assigned to the land of joy and live a heavenly life...... Damn, it's not the same game! β
Ushin ate until he was twelve minutes full, and his belly was bulging before he stopped.
Zhou Baiyu could feel that the president, Brother Duan, and Wu Xin all had a good impression of this place.
Honestly, he himself is the same. Inner vigilance is vigilance, but Zhou Baiyu has never found a flaw.
I just don't think it's reasonable.
But in the last days, under Ragnarok, in a world where countless gods have turned into rules, what is reasonable?
Of course, Zhou Baiyu will still remind his teammates not to forget the task of this trip.
It's just that in the cheerful atmosphere, everyone is quickly immersed in the beauty.
At night, the colorful soap bubbles in the sky seem to absorb a lot of light, and they begin to emit colorful light when they are scattered in the air.
The night becomes colorful under the action of these soap bubbles.
People are dancing and partying in the colored light, the air is full of hormones, and many people's eyes are full of desire.
Men and women, men and women, women and women, women and women, men and women, men and women...... Well, there are a lot of permutations and combinations, and there is a strong philosophical atmosphere.
shocked the eyeballs of Zhou Baiyu and several people.
"It's not a bad thing to indulge in desire, the so-called happiness is essentially the release of desire."
Jiang Lu was always around a few people all day long, responsible for explaining things they didn't understand.
Under the huge soap bubbles, people's bodies are getting closer and closer in the dance and music, so close that they are almost close together, and the writhing process seems to rub sparks.
Soap bubbles in the sky also flicker occasionally.
Makes the night light and dark.
Several slender and beautiful girls also found Zhou Baiyu and others, as if they were going to have the same dance full of desire.
The so-called following the local customs, with the light and dust, Wuxin, waking up and impermanence were soon introduced into the dance by beautiful girls.
This is where the night's revelry begins, and all emotions are drowned out by laughter and laughter.
It seems that there is only joy left in the world. In the colorful light and shadow, chasing desires, don't worry about tomorrow, don't worry about food, don't worry about work......
Everything is so beautiful.
"Jiang Xianwu, can I dance with you?"
Jiang Lu's eyes unexpectedly showed a trace of desire between men and women.
Zhou Baiyu was a little confused, but nodded and agreed.
But his dancing is very gentlemanly.
Dancing with Jiang Lu, Zhou Baiyu always maintained a sense of proportion, using a very gentlemanly waltz step.
When he is with Midelle, Zhou Baiyu will also do some things, but that kind of thing is collectively called foreplay.
At this time, as if he had the ability to read minds, his intuition told him that everything here was indeed happy......
But girls are not necessarily happy.
The desire in Jiang Lu's eyes may not be the real desire.
A red light flashed, and the next second it was a purple light.
A purple light flashed, and the next second it was a blue light.
Colorful soap bubbles change colors in the sky, reflecting the lights of the world below.
But at the moment when light and darkness alternated, when in the elegant waltz, when he wrapped his arms around the girl's waist, the girl's gaze was facing a certain part of the staircase to heavenβ
Zhou Baiyu really saw it.
A trace of tears appeared in Jiang Lu's eyes.
