Outside the venue, the wolf moon hangs high, and inside the venue, there are songs and dances.

After Zuo Chi and Kai'Sa tried out many of the things to do on the night of the Grim Reaper, the two went to the couch in the corner of the venue.

Kai'Sa happily snuggled into Zuo Chi's arms, telling him about the embarrassing performance of the two of them when they danced just now.

"Zuo Chi, are these all believers in the Grim Reaper? It feels like the customs here are completely different from those of Acacia. ”

Zuo Chi smiled and scratched the tip of Kaisha's nose: "This is just leaving the Shurima Continent, and we will go to more places later, and the customs of each place are completely different." ”

Kai'Sa looked at the noisy crowd in front of her with a hint of curiosity in her eyes, "Will these people be blessed by death?" Will you gain great power? ”

Regarding Kaisha's question, Zuo Chi is also a little unsure.

"Should. Yes, right? Usually the gods will give their followers a certain feedback. ”

Zuo Chi was talking to Kai'Sa as his gaze fell on the entire Grim Reaper's Carnival night.

Whether it was the dance floor or the gambling table, there were believers in sheep and wolf costumes, and Zuo Chi was a little unsure whether the real Qianjue would really appear here.

"Frog Spirit." Zuo Chi called softly.

The space beside him fluctuated, and the vanishing frog spirit appeared on Zuo Chi's shoulder.

Zuochi asked, "Will the Grim Reaper appear in front of believers out of thin air?" Or does death only appear when a person dies? ”

The Vanishing Frog Spirit sat on Zuo Chi's shoulder, one arm supporting his knee and supporting his chin: "Unless someone is about to die, the Grim Reaper usually doesn't appear." This is the rule that our mother has set for us, and no death will break it. ”

"You mean to say that what the people on the island said about Qian Jue's previous appearance at the Carnival of Death is all fake?"

The vanishing frog spirit was noncommittal: "Who knows if those two fellows of the sheep and wolf will violate their mother's rules on a whim?" ”

Zuo Chi's gaze swept over the people in the audience, and he couldn't help but have a bold idea in his heart, but this idea was extinguished by him as soon as it appeared.

"Human, do you want to kill these people?" At this moment, the vanishing frog spirit suddenly said.

Zuo Chi raised his eyebrows: "Don't talk nonsense, I'm wholeheartedly kind, and I'm afraid of stepping on ants when I walk on weekdays." ”

"And I advise you to die before you can, unless they provoke me, I won't make senseless killings out of thin air."

The Vanishing Frog Spirit muttered, "Would you like to hear what you're saying?" Who the hell am I unemployed because of!? ”

Zuo Chi leaned on the leather sofa and continued to ask, "Can the Grim Reaper kill someone?" Kill those who have not yet reached the time of death. ”

The Vanishing Frog Spirit continued to shake its head: "Death must not intervene in the life and death of the living unless it is forced to do so. ”

Zuo Chi nodded clearly: "It seems that although the Grim Reaper is very powerful, it also has a lot of constraints, and it is not easy at all." ”

"Who's to say it isn't."

The figure of the vanishing frog spirit slowly disappeared, and Zuo Chi and Kai Sha continued to look at the center of the arena.

It's late at night, and the real climax of this Death Carnival night is about to begin!

In the center of the huge arena, the ring was already surrounded by people, all holding chips in their hands, and under the ring were one table after another for betting.

At this moment, the commentator in the ring raised the microphone to his mouth and began to preach loudly:

"Dear friends, first of all, I am here to wish you all a happy night of the Grim Reaper, and have a good time."

"Next, it's the sheep and wolf fighting that everyone is looking forward to the most!"

"If the Lamb is victorious, then we need to restrain our animal nature, put on the cloak of propriety and honesty, and be honest and humble before the next night of the Grim Reaper! And if the wolf wins, then we will continue to follow the proud tradition of doing everything in our own name, for our own desires, and nothing else! ”

"Place your bets as much as you like, and when the fight is over, the winner can take all the chips he has won!"

Suddenly, the atmosphere of the entire venue was completely ignited.

The crowd cheered, turned their eyes to the two figures in the ring, and began to frantically place bets on the table.

In the ring, one of the figures, he was dressed in a sheep spirit costume, his figure was very thin, and his expression was full of confusion.

Born in the Anaconda Islands, he was forcibly brought in to the ring, he is innocent, docile, kind, honest, and at the same time he is also called the stupid lamb by the people below.

The other figure, this time the Wolf Soul Warrior, is a pirate captain from Bilgewater.

Dressed in ornate armor and custom-made battle gloves, he has a strong physique and a fierce aura, and he is known to those below him as a fierce wolf.

Looking at the scene ahead, Kaisha in Zuo Chi's arms frowned slightly:

"Zuo Chi, is there still a need for a competition? The result is better than a predetermined one. ”

Zuo Chi also frowned a little, he looked at Kaisha in his arms, and said softly: "Although I have only met Qianjue once, I also think I know them well enough. ”

"Kaisha, the sheep spirit and the wolf spirit will never make a move on each other, they will always be together. It's like the two of us. ”

"Then they" Kai'Sa looked at the two figures in the ring, her eyes full of doubt.

Zuo Chi playfully played with the glass wine glass in his hand and said softly: "Perhaps, the meaning of this festival has already changed. The meaning of its existence is no longer to offer faith to Qianjue, but to find a reasonable excuse for these people's own desires. ”

After listening to Zuo Chi's words, Kai Sha took one last look at the noisy crowd in front of her, and then buried her head in Zuo Chi's arms.

She suddenly didn't want to stay here anymore.

Zuo Chi didn't continue to speak, but quietly watched everything in front of him.

At the gambling table, the side that crushes the wolf spirit to win has already piled up a mountain of chips, while the side of the sheep spirit wins has very few chips, just some newcomers or people who want to pick up the leaks casually.

With the sound of loud gongs and drums, the battle in the ring completely kicked off.

The thin man who played the role of the sheep spirit shrank in the corner of the ring, at a loss and didn't know what to do, but the wolf soul warrior in front of him had already taken a step and rushed towards him.

Almost just a face, the actor of the sheep spirit was thrown to the ground by the wolf soul warrior, he curled up on the ground, gasping for breath, only to feel that his waist was about to be broken.

Seeing this scene, the audience below couldn't help but have no sympathy, but cheered even louder.

It's as if you're celebrating that you've found a reason to squander your desires for the year ahead.

The battle in the ring continues, although it is a battle, in fact, it is just the wolf soul warrior unilaterally crushing the man who plays the sheep spirit.

The ring was already soaked in blood, and the pirate captain showed no sign of keeping his hand, his eyes were full of bloodthirsty light, and he seemed to enjoy the cheers coming from below.

And just when the crowd was shouting loudly, the two figures in the crowd who had been quietly watching all this slowly took a step back.

The lamb slowly raised its longbow in her hand, and the wolf began to circle around her body.

The lamb looked at all this in disappointment, and she wondered what kind of stupid people could believe that a battle in the dark could predict the fortune of the coming year.

"Lamb, what are you thinking?" At this moment, the hoarse and deep voice of the wolf sounded.

The longbow in the lamb's hand lit up with a silvery white light, "They thought our existence was just a farce, dear wolf. Since they want to take our hands at this moment, I will make them understand the meek power that belongs to the sheep spirit. ”

At the moment when the lamb's voice fell, a silver-white arrow condensed from the longbow, and the arrow pierced the sky and sank straight into the body of the wolf soul warrior.

At the same time, divine blessings shone on the emaciated man, healing his wounds and giving him great strength.

Of course, in the eyes of many mortals, everything that the Lamb did was unknown.

In the eyes of many mortals, I saw that although the weak man was knocked down, he stood up again and again, but the wolf soul warrior inexplicably lost his breath of life, completely softened on the ring, and never stood up again.

Looking at the scene in the ring, the commentator was stunned, and the audience below was stunned, while Zuo Chi, who was on the outermost part of the venue, slowly sat up straight, and his eyes began to scan the entire venue.

Neither the commentator nor the audience below expected that the outcome of the battle would be like this.

After a long silence, the narrator once again stepped into the ring and loudly announced the result that everyone in the room wanted to hear.

"I'm sure you've all seen that although the Wolf Soul Warrior was killed by the Lamb by trickery, his heart has incomparably greater power. And the lamb we see, he is so weak and cowardly, he can't compare with the brave wolf soul warrior at all. That's why I declare that this time the sheep and wolves will win the battle against the wolf spirit! ”

"We can still follow the tradition of the previous year, and do whatever we do, only in our own name, for our own desires, and nothing else!"

After a brief silence, loud cheers resounded throughout the stadium once again.

In the corner, Zuo Chi stood up lightly and walked towards the outside of the arena with Kaisha.

"Zuochi, where are we going?" Kai'Sa asked, curious.

Zuo Chi shook his head and chuckled: "Let's go wait for someone outside, if I guess correctly, they should appear soon." ”

Inside the arena, on the edge, the lamb and the wolf looked at the people who were cheering again, and they knew that the outcome of the battle in the ring no longer mattered, and people would always choose to believe what they wanted to believe.

"Dear wolf, remember our agreement? Now, it's time to hunt to your heart's content. ”

"I always remember, little lamb."

Yang Ling put away the longbow in her hand, because she knew that these people in front of her were not worthy to take them with the longbow herself.

And at the moment when the light on her longbow was restrained, the vicious wolf that was ready to attack rushed into the crowd.

The sheep and the wolf, the longbow and the sharp fangs, correspond to the meek and humble soul and the cunning soul who disobey death, and at the same time correspond to the peaceful death and the painful and terrifying death.

Now, these people in front of them have obviously received the death bestowed by the wolf spirit.

The wail of the soul resounded in the night sky, and the sheep spirit watched the scene in front of him silently.

Outside the venue, Zuo Chi and Kai Sha waited quietly, and after a long time, two figures slowly walked out of the gate of the venue and met Zuo Chi's gaze.

Yang Ling's gentle and peaceful voice sounded: "Human, we meet again. ”

Zuo Chi smiled noncommittally at the pair of twin gods of life and death: "Someone asked me to look for you, just to try my luck, but I didn't expect to really meet it." Do you all come to this Grim Reaper night every year? ”

Yang Ling shook his head slightly: "We will not easily appear in front of the living, and this time it will be the same. ”

"The Lamb is the breath of one kind." Just as Zuo Chi was about to say something, the voice of the wolf spirit sounded slowly.

Yang Ling nodded, she looked at Zuo Chi's shoulder: "My friend, you don't stay in the Shurima Empire, why are you here for?" ”

As he spoke, a frog spirit mask appeared first, followed by the vanishing frog spirit also appeared on Zuo Chi's shoulder.

Looking at the pair of colleagues in front of him who exuded the aura of terrifying power, the eyes of the Disappearing Frog Spirit were full of envy, once upon a time, he was so powerful, and the number of believers was also nearly a thousand.

Only now, the last Bakai is also long dead.

"Sheep spirit, wolf spirit, I need you to do me a favor."

"Oh?"

The wolf spirit looked at the vanishing frog spirit in front of him with interest: "The frequency of the exorcism evil lord is very high during this time, let me guess, who is it looking for?" ”

Compared with the evil taste of the wolf spirit, the sheep spirit is much gentler: "Shurima's Bakai is dead, is it?" ”

The vanishing frog spirit nodded, "The last Bakai has also been sent to the underworld by me, and I have no meaning to exist now. ”

"But I don't want to die yet."

The Vanishing Frog Spirit quickly added, "The Shurima Empire has returned again, and I believe that in a few years, Bakai will appear again." But I need to get through these years."

"So, what did you find us for?" Yang Ling asked thoughtfully.

"I hope you can give me some of the believers and the power."

The Vanishing Frog Spirit knew that what he said was presumptuous, but in order not to be taken away by the Exorcist Demon Lord, he still stubbornly continued: "It will only take a short time, and when Baké reappears, I will return it to you immediately." ”

After listening to the words of the vanishing frog spirit, the sheep spirit and the wolf spirit looked at each other, and there was a trace of hesitation in their eyes.

It's normal to think about it, for a god who exists by faith, separating his own believers and beliefs is undoubtedly a hemorrhagic thing, and this is such a simple matter.

It is impossible for a believer to change his faith at will, and how can he easily change back after he has changed.

After thinking about it for a long time, the sheep spirit's hand finally lightly tapped on the wolf spirit mask on his face and the sheep spirit mask on the wolf spirit's face.

The sheep spirit and the wolf spirit, but the mask of the Origin Death they wear is each other's, which means this:

The soul of the son, symbiosis with the son!

Under the traction of the sheep spirit, two rays of radiant light flew out of the mask, and then disappeared into the mask on the frog spirit's face.

"You will send the souls of the humans in the Shurima region to the underworld."

In the joyful gaze of the frog spirit, the sheep spirit whispered again: "If the exorcist evil lord comes to you, then mention our name." ”

Although the tone is light, the meaning and courage contained in it are as heavy as a mountain.

After saying that, the sheep spirit looked at Zuo Chi beside the disappearing frog spirit: "Human, your strength is getting stronger and stronger, and I look forward to our next meeting." ”

The Vanishing Frog Spirit fulfilled his wish, and Zuo Chi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief for him.

Seeing that Qian Jue was about to leave, Zuo Chi suddenly raised his hand and stopped them.

"Sheep Spirit, wait a minute."

Facing the gaze of the sheep spirit and the wolf spirit, Zuo Chi finally asked the doubts in his heart.

"Is it true that I heard the frog spirit say that death only appears to those who are about to die?"

Yang Ling nodded: "But it's only limited to ordinary humans who can't communicate with the spiritual realm, like you won't." ”

"If it weren't a last resort, the Grim Reaper wouldn't be able to strike at someone who hadn't reached the end of his death, would he?" Zuo Chi asked again.

"Hmm." Yang Ling continued to nod.

"That"

Zuo Chi was a little puzzled, why did the sheep spirit and the wolf spirit appear on the night of the Death Carnival, and also killed all the humans in the venue, could it be because they blasphemed the Grim Reaper?

Facing Zuo Chi's puzzled gaze, Yang Ling smiled lightly, she and Wolf Ling glanced at each other, and then their figures slowly disappeared in front of Zuo Chi and the others.

After Qian Jue left, Zuo Chi couldn't help but look at the vanishing frog spirit who was smirking on his shoulder.

"Hey, come back to your senses, is your matter settled?"

Hearing Zuo Chi's voice, the disappearing frog spirit couldn't help but stand happily on Zuo Chi's shoulder and dance.

"Human, you really have two hits, don't worry, your business in the future will be the business of Lord Ben, and I will cover you in the future!"

Zuo Chi couldn't help but roll his eyes: "This is not what I want to hear. ”

The Disappearing Frog Spirit patted his chest very sensibly: "Isn't it Bandel City, as long as you want to go, let's go now!" ”

"Can you bring someone with me?" Zuo Chi asked.

The Disappearing Frog Spirit looked at Kaisha, then nodded, "If you are alone, you can!" ”

"That's good!"

Zuo Chi looked at Kaisha, who was already speechless in shock, and squeezed her hand: "Let's go back and clean up, and then I'll take you to a fun place." ”

"Huh?"

Hearing Zuo Chi's words, Kai Sha blinked a little confused, she had no idea what Bandel City was in Zuo Chi and the Vanishing Frog Spirit's mouth.

However, when she thought of the three Grim Reapers, who had just appeared in front of her and were laughing and laughing with Zuo Chi, Kaisha suddenly felt like she was living in a dream.

Ever since she was with Zuochi, Kai'Sa only felt like she was opening the door to a new world every day.

The Darkspawn, the Ascendant, Bakai, and Emperor Shurima, now even the Grim Reaper is here!

Zuo Chi took Kai's hand and walked towards the inn where he lived, while he wondered when it was best for him to leave.

Not long after Zuochi and Kaisha returned to the hotel, while the two were sitting on the edge of the bed chatting, there was a sudden dense shouting on the street outside the window.

"Someone, it's on fire, help!"

Zuo Chi got up and opened the door, just in time to meet the old store manager, and he also learned about what was happening outside from the old store manager's mouth.

Due to the accumulation of a large amount of dry wood outside the venue where the Carnival of the Grim Reaper was held for bonfire, the dry wood eventually ignited a raging fire, and the huge wooden arena was instantly ignited, and all the living in it died in the fire.
