Brother Yang has been gone for a few days.

Just as I expected, I never saw him again after that time.

The entire Elysium was empty overnight, leaving only a few broken statues.

Jiang Ruoxue and I spent a few days looking for Brother Yang throughout the city, but we had no idea what Brother Yang would become.

Will he become more like a "sheep" or more like a "human"?

If it's a sheep, what breed is it? If he was a human, what would he look like?

Finding Aries is really not a simple job, Jiang Ruoxue and I are like two headless flies in the city, and our mood has changed from a little anticipation at the beginning to a dead air at the end.

The novelty of "Next Steps" lasted only a few days, and we were back to where we were.

We are numb to life, and the road in front of us is gradually becoming full of fog.

We even walked through small alleys that we had never entered before, and found various "zodiac signs" hidden in the corners, but we never saw Aries.

"Zhichun...... Don't you think it's too quiet? Jiang Ruoxue hung her head and asked me.

We were resting in a narrow alley, and not far from us stood a human-level "zodiac".

"Quiet ......?" I looked left and right at the street, "You mean here?" There really isn't much of a person. ”

"Nope." Jiang Ruoxue shook her head, "Zhichun, since the white sheep left, everything here has been too quiet......"

As soon as her words fell, the "Zodiac" a few steps away suddenly began to work, he cleared his throat and said to us, "Do you two want to participate in my game?" ”

Jiang Ruoxue and I glanced at him, no one talked to him, this kind of "zodiac" is everywhere. His game is set in a hidden alley, and it is estimated that there are few "participants" to be seen.

Jiang Ruoxue looked at me again, and said with a solemn face: "Zhichun, don't you think the current atmosphere is a little weird......?" The "upper floor" is quiet, the "zodiac" is quiet, and even the "participants" are quiet...... It seems that no one has made any big moves, what are you waiting for, or are you guarding against something? ”

I feel that Jiang Ruoxue is right, since Brother Yang disappeared, everything seems to have quieted down. Even the most powerful "participants" in the past moved much smaller.

"Heavenly Mouth", which has been studying the "Zodiac", has recently stopped gambling with the "Zodiac", but seems to be recuperating.

What the hell are you doing? Why is the atmosphere different from before?

"I really don't feel right...... Jiang Ruoxue said to me with a frown, "Zhichun...... The current situation is like the calm before the storm, as if some great cause and effect is about to be born...... It's going to be a ...... here."

Yes...... This was originally Brother Yang's plan, he will return here one day and turn this place upside down.

But where is he now?

I sighed and turned my face, my gaze just in time to meet the human monkey a few steps away.

He was watching me and Jiang Ruoxue all the time.

His face is a bit strange, although it is a "human monkey", but it is a rotting baboon face.

"Do you want to participate in my game?" He asked again.

"Not participating." Jiang Ruoxue said, "Don't waste your efforts, we are not here to find the "Dao", save some tongues." ”

I frowned slightly, as if I had thought of something.

"Two, if you participate...... I'll give you a fake flower made of plastic. The monkey said, "Don't you really try it?" ”

"Fake flowers made of plastic...... Jiang Ruoxue slowly raised her head and stared at the human monkey in front of her with me.

His figure overlapped with someone in his memory.

"You...... Are you ......" Jiang Ruoxue was just about to speak, and I quickly pulled her back.

"Ruoxue, you can't call your name." I prompted.

The monkey never called out our names, and we were afraid that we would suddenly recognize him.

He really came here and became a human monkey in the "Dao City".

This shows that he gambled to kill the previous human monkey, and it also shows that the "Jade City" has completely failed.

Even if Gu Yu took everything he learned from "Dao City" and "Vortex City" and went back to reshuffle the cards there, he would never be able to cure the seriously ill city.

But how long has Gu Yu been here? After all, it had been many years since I last met him, and he had just come here when he appeared in such a dark alley...... Or have you been here for years?

Seeing me and Jiang Ruoxue's expressions complicated, he knew that we recognized him.

"It's okay not to participate in the game." "But the flowers are still going to be given to you," he added. ”

He pulled the familiar black stick out of his pocket and handed it to mine.

"Monkey ...... Aren't you going to send us flowers? I took the black stick and said, "We're not magicians, we won't use this prop." ”

"Let it bloom." The monkey said in a choked voice, "If it's possible, you can help me......"

"Help you ......?"

"The flowers can't bloom...... The iron wall around it is too hard......" said the human monkey, "I have never been able to break through this hard iron wall, but there is a very beautiful flower in it...... If you can't bring out the flowers, can you find a way to bring out the seeds...... That is the seed of hope...... I'm begging you, if you can really take away hope...... I'll definitely find a way to repay you. ”

Jiang Ruoxue and I are not stupid people, and the meaning of this sentence can be heard clearly.

"You're not kidding, are you?" I sighed and said, "That's not our 'flower', it's not our 'seed', this iron rod has always been by your side, you can't make the flower bloom, why expect others to do it for you after handing it over to outsiders?" ”

"I've tried all the methods...... "the monkey bowed his head, "but the flowers and seeds are stuck...... This hard black wall of iron is shrinking inward, and sooner or later it will flatten the flowers, and then crush the seeds, and my train of thought has stopped, but maybe others will think of things that I can't think of......"

"But the walls are too hard." I said, "Jiang Ruoxue and I are just two ordinary people, our nails will break on the iron wall, so I won't take risks, and I won't let Ruoxue take risks, we have done enough for a magician." ”

Gu Yu's eyes looked like he was dead after hearing this, and then slowly lowered his head.

He should also know how rude his request is, no matter who else in the "Jade City" does not escape, it is someone who has nothing to do with us.

We have already told Gu Yu a lot about the "End Land" and the "Zodiac", and took him personally on this road that can escape and is relatively safe, but now he still wants us to go to the "Jade City" to take risks, this time I will not agree no matter what.

"I'm sorry." The human monkey lowered his head slightly in frustration, "It's my whim...... Thank you. ”

"What do you think of flowers?" Jiang Ruoxue suddenly asked on the side.

"Flowers?" The human monkey looked at her.

"Do the flowers want to bloom?" Jiang Ruoxue asked again, "Does she want to bloom by herself, or does she want others to take the seeds away?" ”

"Ruoxue......" I reached out and pulled her, "what are you going to do?" ”

"Zhichun, everything is "cause and effect"." Jiang Ruoxue said to me, "What we are encountering now was predestined a long time ago. ”

The human monkey sighed deeply and said, "I don't know if the flower wants to 'bloom' or not, but she must want someone to take the seed away." ”
