Nine-year-old Annville, who lives in a small snowpiercer town, likes to sneak into the attic of her home after her parents are asleep, open the window and climb to the roof, staring at the stars.

At this time, the town will be filled with Christmas songs.

This year's Christmas, as usual, Anvile climbed to the eaves of the attic, sat down in her skirt, wrapped her scarf tightly, and stared at the sky with clear eyes.

She shook her calves dangling in the air and hummed a Christmas song softly, her voice clear and transparent, like the echo of a snow-capped mountain.

“…… We broke through the snowstorm......"

“…… We sat on the sleigh ......"

“…… Speeding through the fields......"

“…… Laughing all the time......"

“…… The horsetail bell rings......"

“…… How happy ...... spirits"

“…… What a pleasure to ski tonight......"

“…… Sing the ski song ......"

“…… Jingle bell, jingle bell ......"

“…… The bells jingle ......"

Anvil's ears were red from the wind, and she exhaled softly, stretching her arms as if to embrace the cold winter sky and the brilliant stars in the sky.

Today, something strange is happening in the town.

Four Asians came to the town, obviously this town has been difficult to meet a passerby for so many years, but today four came in one breath, they are still Asians who have crossed from afar.

They call themselves "Travelers" and love to explore all kinds of secret places, none of them have names, one calls themselves "Principal", one calls themselves "Mask", one calls themselves "Hunter", and one calls themselves "Panda".

The headmaster was an Asian boy who looked to be about 18 years old, he was very tall, taller than many people in the town, and he had a handsome face, and those brown eyes were hard to forget at a glance.

Mask is the oldest of the four, and his temperament reminds Annville of the words she has seen in some translations of Chinese literature - "gentle as jade, handsome son", which is very much in line with Annville's fantasy of Asians.

The hunter was a blue-haired boy who carried a long bag that looked like a fluffy lamb and looked like he would fall asleep at any moment.

Panda is a delicate-looking Asian girl with cute little tiger teeth when she smiles, and Anweil's parents love her and even entertain her to stay at home.

The four travelers from an exotic land seem to be going from house to house asking about "Christmas" and saying whether anything strange had happened at Christmas in the past.

But no one in this icy land will take care of them. Hearing this nonsense, the townspeople avoided it, so the travelers largely shut up.

The town's inns also didn't welcome the strange travelers, and only Anville's family would see them, and her parents had let them stay at home.

Anvill wanted to talk to them, but was a little scared, so she kept locking herself in her room, occasionally opening a crack in the door to secretly observe them.

Only the man who called himself "Headmaster" turned around and smiled at her.

At the time, Anviel was taken aback, she thought that her movements were stealthy enough to make no sound, but she was discovered by the traveler.

Anvile folded a thousand paper cranes in her room, waiting for the uninvited guests to leave, but when the time came, it was night, and the four travelers also went to rest in their rooms.

Anyway, after twelve o'clock, it was the annual Christmas, and she didn't want to waste this great and beautiful night on sleeping.

In fact, Anvile has a secret in her heart, every Christmas, she can always see an old man wearing a red Christmas hat and a big red cotton coat flying from the sky on a sleigh.

Pulling the sleigh are two reindeer, very cute-looking, and their calls are also ethereal.

On Christmas the previous year, Anvile met Santa Claus, he flew to the roof of Anvier's attic, laughed loudly, and told Anvile that this year's Christmas gifts had been distributed, and that she would prepare another Christmas gift for the next year, and he also asked the little reindeer to rub Anvier's hand with his head as compensation.

Santa Claus said that she should keep her promise and not tell the other children and the adults about it, but Anvile nodded vigorously, thinking that she would never break the contract.

Last year, several times when Christmas was approaching, she was so excited that she wanted to tell her friends about it, saying that Santa Claus was coming, that he had made an appointment to give her gifts this year.

But every time, Anvil held back. If Santa Claus didn't keep his promise, she thought to herself.

Soon, the small town of Snowpiercer ushered in last year's Christmas, and she had been waiting for a year.

Anville spent a long time on the roof that day, holding the bear doll and staring at the sky expectantly, thinking that Santa Claus had given him a present, and she would give Santa a gift as well.

The moon in the snow country town from the beginning to the set, until the early morning sunrise, Santa Claus has not yet appeared, her face and ears are baked crimson by the cold wind, and her eyes are red, but she is so persistent and determined to stare at the sky, and her heart says that Santa Claus will definitely come, will definitely be.

But that year's Christmas, Santa Claus still didn't come, Anvile took leave and didn't go to school, she caught a cold, and slept at home for a long, long time.

When she woke up, she felt that the whole world had changed, as if she had grown up, and every day was a boring day when she came home from class and had nothing to look forward to.

Annville even had some doubts that Christmas that year was just her dream.

Time flies like an arrow, the white horse flies, and since last Christmas, another year has passed.

In fact, since a long time ago, Anvier has no illusions in her heart, but the arrival of those four travelers suddenly gave her a different kind of confidence.

Are they asking about "Christmas"? Why is this happening? Is it because Santa Claus is coming again?

Thinking of this, a trace of unknown emotions ignited in Anweil's heart. Late at night, she opened the room and made sure that the travelers and her parents were asleep, and climbed to the roof of the attic alone.

"Santa Claus, will you come?"

After singing the Christmas song, the tip of Anviel's nose was a little red, her little face was like an apple, and her voice was so light, like an echo from the bottom of a snowy valley, rippling in the wind and snow.

Half an hour later, her face and arms were frozen, and her ears were blown by the cold wind, as if they had been pricked by a needle. She shuddered and curled up like a hedgehog.

"Liar."

"Liar."

"Liar."

Anvier pursed her mouth, her eyes covered with a layer of mist, and her eye sockets gradually became red.

Soon after, there was a thunderclap in the sky, far away, but as if it were getting closer and closer, as if a thundercloud was approaching us.

"Hit ...... Thunder? ”

Anvier's shoulders twitched, and she looked up at the sky.

She saw two reindeer piercing through the clouds and dragging a sleigh towards them, and an old man in a blue Christmas coat sat on the sleigh, carrying a wide bag and a nameless flame in his eyes.

Anvielle's eyes slowly widened, her immature little face was full of joy, and she shouted at the sky: "I knew you didn't lie to me!" I knew it! ”

The next moment, Santa Claus stood up, and the maniacal laughter resounded in the sky, like the opening ceremony of a grand show, and he took the gift box from the bag behind him and sprinkled it all over the town.

"Santa Claus is here to hand out presents!!" Anviel's face was flushed, and her eyes were as turbulent as a lake, "Santa Claus has come to bring me a present!" ”

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

The sudden explosion made Anvier's excited expression freeze in the cold sky, and she seemed to fall into the dead deep sea, and her excitement cooled down suddenly.

The screams, wails, and screams of the people followed. The terrible calamity spread like a tidal wave in all directions. Santa Claus was still cheering and spilling presents. Every time a gift box falls, there is a bang, and a house is engulfed in flames.

Anvile hugged the doll tightly, shaking her head as she backed, but her back hit someone else.

She looked back in a daze and saw the four travelers in the house—the headmaster, the mask, the hunter, and the panda. And she bumps into a teenager with brown eyes, a weirdo who calls himself "The Headmaster".

The boy reached out and rubbed her hair, and whispered, "It's okay, you go back and rest." With that, he looked up at the sky and at Santa Claus, who was wreaking havoc on the town.

"Hehe, Santa Claus is finally out." The hunter said lazily.

"As expected, it's only tonight." The mask said, "I told you in advance, because I used the 'Jade Burning' move before, most of my Jade Ancient Beasts are in a sealed state. ”

Panda patted his flat chest: "It's okay, just leave it to the 'principal'." ”

"Do we have to use these weird nicknames?" The hunter is staggered.

"Shut up, hunter."

"I was the first to hunt your stinky panda."

"......" Anvill didn't make a sound, just grabbed the headmaster's sleeve, the incessant explosion like a shower tore through her thoughts, her white blonde hair covered her eyes, she asked in a trembling voice, "...... Can you stop him? ”

The mask said gently, "Of course, we are here for this." ”

Seeing that Santa Claus was approaching, the 'principal' put his hands into his coat pockets, and the surging field of the sea spread out in an instant, enveloping an area of nearly 50 meters.

"What is this?"

Anvill looked around in surprise, her hands clenching tighter. Suddenly, like a gust of wind and thunder, a gray dragon and a giant shark soared from behind the headmaster at the same time.

"Bang ——!!!" Gunshots tore through the night sky.

The bullet, covered in a deep blue streamer, rose into the sky like a star, hitting Santa Claus without any error, and the powerful impact shot him off the sleigh.

At this time, the gift bag in Santa's hand also fell to the ground, right above the headmaster's head.

The hunter was stunned: "Oh no, his pile of gifts has also fallen." ”

"Pit teammates, this is!" The panda slammed the hunter's head.

Anvier's pupils constricted, and she looked at the gifts that rained down, and the bear doll in her arms fell to the ground.

At this time, the headmaster was not in a hurry, he opened his mouth and ordered: "Floating Shark King, stop it." At the same time, the Dark Light Dragon aims at the Floating Shark King to release the skill, the Shadow Barrier. ”

As the words fell, the giant dragon diffused gray and black energy, forming a void barrier, enveloping the flying shark in it, and the explosion formed by the gift rain could not invade the barrier at all, but destroyed all the buildings within a radius of tens of meters.

Two seconds later, the explosion continued, but the duration of the Shadow Barrier had ended.

The boy then ordered: "Use the sequence skill - Chess Soul on the Floating Shark King." ”

The flying shark's body was instantly covered with a layer of crimson 'cloak', and it pushed upwards unscrupulously, absorbing most of the aftermath of the explosion by its huge body.

Anviel's pupils trembled, and she hid behind the headmaster in fear.

At this moment, a bluebird was reflected in her pupils, a bluebird that seemed to come from the other side of the world, it was breathtakingly beautiful, and the wings on both sides were engraved with a black metal pattern with the word "V".

The bluebird flew in the air, flapping its wings and falling with a blue light.

"It's beautiful...... "Anvile could see it.

After the blue light rained, both the Floating Shark King and the Dark Light Dragon became stronger at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Santa Claus laughs wildly in mid-air, and the sleigh follows him, speeding after his falling figure, and carrying him back in time.

But at this moment, the dragon of darkness roared, and a huge hole was broken in the winter sky, and a gray streamer like a jungle thundered down, hitting the old man and the sleigh.

"Uhhh!!h Santa Claus falls to the ground, and the sleigh bursts in an instant.

"Bang-"

The cold gunfire tore through the sky, like a highway that spread straight out, hitting the falling Santa Claus without any suspense, piercing its body.

The hunter breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the flying shark that was struggling to hold on: "It still can't seem to work, it can't hold on." ”

The group of falling gifts continued to explode, and the Floating Shark King was about to be engulfed by tons of explosions, and even the "Chess Spirit" could not save his life.

"Senior! I can cure it! The red panda standing on the shoulder of the Chinese girl suddenly lifted a bamboo, burst out with a burst of fluorescent green light, and surged straight towards the flying shark.

The Shark King's health is temporarily increased, but it doesn't help - it's facing an explosion that can destroy the entire town!

If all those gifts are allowed to fall, everything in Snowpiercer will be reduced to dust.

Anvill looked at the firelight in the sky, and in her ears was the roaring flying shark.

She asked softly, "Can we still be saved?" ”

"Absolutely." The headmaster's voice was so calm.

"Whew-"

"Whew-"

The blue bird vanished, and in its place, two small black lions from nowhere, turned into metal and merged into the bodies of the dragon and the flying shark, and they fearlessly pushed against the oncoming "gift".

"Bang ——!!!"

"Boom ——!!!"

It was like a meteor swarm falling, and the sound of explosions continued one after another.

The two little black lions turned into a black barrier, temporarily resisting a burst of explosions, after which the panda on the shoulder of the Chinese girl kept waving bamboo, spreading out fluorescent green light waves, healing the injuries of the dragon and the flying shark.

Anvil's tears flowed endlessly.

She lowered her eyes, looked at the doll that fell to the ground, and whispered, "Santa Claus, is this your gift to me?" ”

This difficult and protracted battle, which lasted for twenty seconds, came to an end, but in the eyes of the townspeople, it seemed as long as a century.

Eventually, it all came to quiet.

The snow is still falling, like a fool who can't understand the atmosphere.

Anvier lost strength in both feet and fell to the ground.

"Merry Christmas." At this moment, the headmaster turned his head, gently stroked Anvier's hair, and handed her a small box: "This is my Christmas gift to you." ”
