The "Dionysian Festival" is probably the best memory of Yu Zhenren's life.

On this night.

Although the moonlight is not full, it must be extremely clear.

The evening breeze is always gentle, and the waves are clear and clear.

The long street is lively, the crowd is jubilant, and the lanterns are strange and bright.

And the most luxurious part of it is undoubtedly gathered on the river, on the painting boat of the tallest and most conspicuous building ship, the Tanuki Building.

There are the most gorgeous illuminations, the most wonderful juggling, the most wonderful singing and dancing, the most distinguished guests and the most beautiful beauties. And, of course, the most delicious food.

Collect the treasures of the north and south, fry and steam and cook everything.

It can be said that shark fin bear's paw is just a mundane thing, and the delicacies of the mountains and seas are also idle.

However.

The finale of the feast is the most ordinary.

Fish belly.

The fish trays handled by the three ladies themselves.

Needless to say, Sanniang's craftsmanship is as handsome as her talent.

Let's just say that this fish is specially raised in the living pool of the Tanuki Building, and it is soaked with flower petals and wine for many years.

In order to be alive, it is pinched on time, and it is now fished from the pond and transported by the Tanuki Building.

......

It's a good fish.

That's what everybody says when they see it.

The scales were as colourful as jade, and the eyes were bright and black-and-white, fluttering on the board, and the two sturdy female workers could barely hold it down.

It's just that.

"What's in the fish's mouth?"

When everyone laughed and laughed, pushed the cup and changed the lamp, waiting for the three ladies to show their skills.

A discordant voice emerged.

The person who asked the question sat at the top of the banquet, this person was the county order of Xiaoshui, and he was the respect of a county, so even if this sentence was almost self-talking, the people at the banquet could still hear and listen.

So, for a moment, everyone, whether it was a guest, a maidservant, or a guard, all eyes came over.

They saw a small round handle from the mouth of the fluttering fish.

What is that?

In the midst of all the attention, the answer was soon revealed.

The woman who was holding the big fish suddenly put her hand into the fish's mouth and twitched it.

Immediately.

The cold light spreads out, and it seems to be able to cut people's eyes.

In that phantom pain, people can see clearly.

It's a sword.

A sword half an arm long, with an extremely thin and sharp blade, just waiting to kill!

"Assassin!"

Someone exclaimed.

"Enchantress!"

Someone added.

The warm banquet suddenly boiled.

Some people are sluggish, some people are embarrassed to run away, some people are yelling, and some people are screaming for help...... There is a lot of disturbance, a mess.

The assassin didn't pay any attention, just carried a sharp blade in his hand, walked quickly, and went straight to the county order!

In fact, there are a lot of guards in the boat, and the guards can also be strict, but who would have thought that there would be a "special assassination of the king"?

There were close guards trying to stop them.

But the assassination came too suddenly, and the sword came too quickly.

They didn't have time to arrive yet.

The sharp blade hidden in the belly of the fish that had escaped heavy scrutiny, and in the blink of an eye, it had already penetrated into the chest of the prefectural order.

Immediately.

Blood gushes like a fountain.

The Assassin had a confused, even uneasy look on his face.

What is confusing is that the blade of the sword is thin and has not yet been pulled out, how can blood spurt?

Unsettling.

From the moment of blood splattering, the banquet seemed to be suddenly quiet.

She looked around, but was shocked to find that it was as if time had stopped, and everyone maintained the movements and demeanor of the previous moment, and froze.

And just outside the ballroom, on the deck across the door, the juggling was still going on as usual, as if it didn't notice what was happening in the banquet......

"Got you. ”

The assassin turned back suddenly, and the county order, which had already been killed by the sword, came back to life and smiled at her with a big smile.

"Got you. ”

She looked back in a hurry, and everyone at the table twisted their necks and turned their faces to her, smiling.

Followed by.

"Bang!"

The door closed suddenly.

The Assassin shuddered, awoke from her panic, and tried to pull away, only to find that the blood splattered on her body had covered her like a living thing, and had become tough and sticky, like a net, dragging her to death.

She could only watch as doors and windows locked one after another, and watched people with smiling faces swarming towards her.

Their ears were filled with their "hee-hee" laughter.

"Got you. ”

............

Outside Xiaoshui City.

The low mountain where the Water Moon View is located.

Li Changan hid alone in the barren forest, overlooking the bustling lights of the Dionysian Festival.

Although it is separated by many forest obstacles and long distances, under the synaesthesia of Dionysian as a bridge with Li Changan and Yu Mei, everything that happens on the painting boat is like a view of the pattern in the palm of his hand, which is vividly in his mind.

Merely.

At this time, Li Chang'an could see the endless flow of people on both sides of the painting boat, he could see the acrobatics called "wearing a pole" being staged on the deck, and even, through the window, he saw the three ladies dividing the big fish fillets, which won the applause of the audience.

But I can't see that scene of "assassinating the king", and I can't see the strange thing of "time frozen".

"These insect cubs are really powerful, and they have actually built another layer of illusion on top of the illusion. Li Changan sighed, "If we had bumped into this move before, we would have been finished." ”

"Not really. ”

Bacchus retorted.

"If it weren't for swallowing the vine demon, the phantom butterfly wouldn't have this ability. Moreover, its encroachment on the illusion has not yet spread to Xiaoshui City, and it must have cost a lot to build the illusion within this illusion. ”

One person, one god, you say a word, although I am solemn about the Phantom Butterfly's control over the illusion is deepening day by day, but I have no worries about Yu Mei's situation.

The reason is simple.

Because all this was expected, or planned.

With the advent of the Dionysian sacrifice.

Several people had to admit that just slaughtering the big demons one by one was not enough to transfer the phantom butterflies out of the Water Moon Temple.

The cards in your hand are getting smaller and smaller, and you are about to lose the whole game. After the three of them discussed, they decided to increase the chips and gamble on a wave.

And this chip is Yu Mei herself.

So last night.

Yu Mei was knocked out by someone, and the patrol was alerted to leave in a hurry, and the survivor happened to wake up when he was killed, and because he was an earthworm demon, he escaped by luck, revealing the clues that Yu Mei intended to change his form and blend into the painting boat to assassinate...... It's all a self-directed play.

For this reason, Li Changan also took a risk and took a chance to solve several patrol teams with Yu Mei, so that Phantom Butterfly thought that the minions were unusable, and to deal with Yu Mei, it had to take action.

Pity.

Li Changan looked back at the direction of the water and moon, the moon stars were scarce, and there were no complaints.

The Phantom Butterfly still hasn't left the nest.

only let the worm cub make a "fantasy within a fantasy".

But.

There is still a chance.

............

Dreamland.

Surrounded by demons, the Assassins' counterattack was weak and short-lived.

Soon.

She was pinned to the ground by a bony chisel through her limbs and shoulder blades.

His face was covered in blood and his eyes were glazed.

The demons laughed and pointed around her, as if they were very dissatisfied with her weakness, and they were especially unhappy with this ambush.

That is until a youkai stepped forward and ripped a human skin off her face.

The laughter came to an abrupt end.

Because, under the human skin is a face full of short hair and sharp-beaked monkey gills.

Yu Mei's deity is indeed a monster, but she is a locust tree, not an ape.

What's even more strange is that at the center of the eyebrows of this monkey face, under the fluff, there are faint scratches that have not healed, and if you look closely, these scratches are combined like a ...... Talismans?

When the demons looked at each other.

Suddenly, many pitch-black arcs jumped out of the "talisman".

Then.

Rumble!

Thunder roars!

............

The painting boat of the Tanuki Building is two stories high, floating on the water, like a small building, with a view of the boats.

The boat is tied to the ropes on both banks, the boat and the rope are hung with all kinds of colored lanterns, reflected on the water surface, and when you look at it, you think it is the fairy palace in the Tianhe.

The top floor is divided into two, half of which is used as a banquet venue, and in previous years it was simply surrounded by curtains or screens.

But this year is different.

Because of the recent demon disaster, a pavilion was specially built, and guards were arranged.

But the tourists on both sides of the strait don't care about how the big people on the painting boat spare their lives, they just have to set their eyes on the stage of the other half of the painting boat.

At this moment, an acrobatic technique called "wearing a rod" is performed.

A fat woman held a large bamboo pole, more than 20 feet high, with some small branches on it, all carrying ribbons and lanterns, and there were nine little girls turning and jumping on it, staging all kinds of thrilling programs, and the audience below was dazzled.

And to the end of the tide high.

A little girl climbed to the top of the pole lightly and "transformed" into a plate of fruit.

Then.

Walk a little.

He jumped straight from the sky.

But he did not fall, but flew into the air in the middle of the fluttering clothes, and flew straight to the banquet on the other side of the painting boat.

"Good!"

Immediately, the two sides of the strait burst into 100-fold cheers.

The juggling team above is very famous in the left and near places, and everyone knows that their specialty is called "fairy gifts".

But Fang Cai's performance is wonderful, but the ones jumping around are just like a few monkeys, what kind of immortals?

Where is now.

Ooh.

I really flew over!

So, the joy was thunderous, and the money was like rain.

The spectators' eyes widened as they wanted to catch a glimpse of the next great show.

Rumble!

Suddenly.

It was as if a muffled thunder had exploded on the surface of the river.

The boat shook violently in the thunder, and when the lanterns shook, the lights shattered like glass and fell to the surface of the river, raising large expanses of thick fog.

Blink.

It covered the entire boat.

Why don't you let me see it?

The audience looked at each other, and those who had just invested money to reward were even more remorseful and called for a refund. More tourists were attracted by this movement, thinking that there was some novelty in the show.

None of this is mentioned for the time being, but it is said that there is already chaos in the painting boat.

Not only for the sudden thunder and shaking, but also because of the fact that many charred corpses appeared out of thin air at the banquet, although they were scattered and shapeless, but at a glance, they knew that they did not belong to human beings.

There was a mess in the church with all kinds of inexplicable changes, and no one even noticed that the "fairy" who flew from the bamboo pole to congratulate the gift had already stepped into the banquet.

Instead of a celebratory gift, she held a short sword as thin as a cicada's wing.

Until someone exclaimed:

"Beware of the Assassins!"

The panicked people were then alarmed.

But she was already flying forward.

Sword light.

For example, the white rainbow runs through the sun, and it comes directly from the county order.

This moment.

The scene in the previous illusion seemed to be played out again.

The maids screaming for help, the guests who fled in panic, the county orders who opened their eyes and waited for death, and the guards who struggled to stop them...... There are also those "worm cubs" who were hiding in the crowd and have revealed their original forms under anxiety.

She took it all in her eyes, but she didn't pay attention to it at all.

She only silently asked the god of wine and asked Li Changan:

"Is the phantom butterfly out of the nest?"
