The story of the old skeleton Zarkon is very touching to a living person, but among the Forgotten, his experience may be just the most inconspicuous one. It is difficult for the Forgotten to climb out of the grave after falling down again.
Going through a normal journey of life, there is rarely bright sunshine and joy in their stories. The only thing that is gratifying is that at least Zakken's story has a relatively happy ending - for this one, I just hope to protect myself.
His daughter, a happy ending for the undead who lives with Nina.
"I'm very satisfied with my current life," Zakken clicked, turning his somewhat badly worn wrist and stroking the little zombie's head. "It's much better than most dead people, and I also found a wife...
…”
I expressed moderate shock: I have heard the story of a dead tree that grows old and becomes popular again, but after death, he never forgets to find a mother-in-law for himself. This is the first time I have seen the life after death of this old skeleton, Zakken.
It’s so colorful. Not only did he find his daughter, he also found himself a wife?!
"Basali is a very considerate skeleton," Zakken scratched his skull a little embarrassedly, "Her charming back molars impressed me deeply: because she has no front teeth. Old Zakken thinks that life
The most worthwhile things to pursue are already satisfied, a complete family and a job that makes you feel fulfilled. Look, this is the sweater Basari knitted for me——"
Zakken said, suddenly lifting his cloak to show off, revealing the "love sweater" he was wearing. I saw that each of his 22 and a half ribs was covered with a woolen sleeve of the right size.
It seems that knitting a sweater for a skeleton is indeed a job that tests the spirit of innovation.
"I numbered each part of the sweater because the size of each rib is different. Basari is really ingenious, but it is a bit troublesome to wear this dress. Recently, a more innovative method is popular among skeletons.
The sweater is made of ribs as the skeleton, and the wool is woven directly between the bones, just like a kite." The old skeleton muttered while lubrication on his wrists, "That is really a charming idea, but the knitting is done in
It’s very troublesome to take them off after wearing them. Sometimes I envy and hate them because they only need to grow mushrooms on their bodies to use them as clothes.”
I am very pleased with the new life of the forgotten people described by Zakken that is full of alternative joy, and sincerely wish them more joy in the long journey of waiting for death in the future. However, considering that Qianqian and I have to eat at noon,
Let’s stop listening: the chattering old skeleton is about to start talking about the recent popularity of pineapple-flavored preservatives among zombies.
"As we said before, the Forgotten should become a new race. Just like living people, they also have their own culture and lifestyle," I said to Qianqian on the way out of the Undead Zone, "Now
It seems that the biggest change in the global integration is this group of happy dead people."
Qian Qian took it seriously, and turned to look at the unusual father and daughter. Old Zarkon was leading his zombie daughter slowly back to the crypt. If you don't take into account their current state and the corpses wandering around, this is indeed true.
It's a very peaceful scene.
I and Qianqian didn't have any purposeful route. We just walked aimlessly through the assembly hall amid the new ideas that this girl might have at any time. Time passed quietly in this leisurely wandering. I don't know why.
, although the surroundings are noisy, but looking at the bright smile of the happy girl next to me, I feel a kind of tranquility that arises spontaneously: Compared with the vigorous expedition around the world, the life of shopping with my girlfriend at home is still more interesting.
.
"Ajun, is there something on her face?" Qianqian noticed the gaze next to her, and immediately swallowed the mutton skewers in her mouth, stretched out her oily hand to wipe the corners of her mouth, and I said helplessly to her
He smiled and said, "It wasn't there just now, but now it's all over my face."
"Hey," Qian Qian understood, she stuck out her tongue and licked the corner of her mouth, but found that it was not long enough, "Oh, I really envy the wealthy person next door when I was a kid, it can reach it."
Once again, I was defeated by the shallow world view.
In the afternoon, we met Reimu Hakurei, who was leading a group of lively Gensokyo monsters out to participate in the festival. She seemed to have completely forgotten her identity as a city manager here, and instead regarded her job as a tour guide, which was supposed to be an extra income, as a
On duty, when Qianqian and I quietly approached from behind, this red and white unruly man was explaining to a group of monsters wearing little red riding hoods the precautions for living in the Shadow City.
"Ahem, since you have decided to live in Avalon, you will definitely come to Shadow City often, and you should keep some things in mind when living here," Reimu shouted loudly, waving the little red flag in his hand, "No.
1. You cannot fly at an altitude of more than 5,000 meters in the sky, because there is a magical girl in the Shadow City, which is a dangerous creature that can cruise at Mach 35 at high altitudes. If you fly at an altitude of 5,000 meters, you will easily be killed by the magical girl.
Knocked down. Second, you can’t set up stalls two hundred meters to the left and right of heaven. This has a profound lesson! And relatedly, you can’t write graffiti at the gate of heaven, you can’t throw firecrackers into the communication room in front of the goddess’ door, you can’t
Hold a net to catch dragonflies and pass by the temple gate. If you find a wild goddess, you must send it to the lost and found center in time, otherwise the goddess will bite you. Third, if you find someone violently destroying a vending machine on the street, please pay attention and analyze it.
If it's kicked with a foot, it means the emperor's sister wants to buy something. Please pretend not to see it. If it's chopped with a knife, it's a Vega that's thirsty. Please don't stand around for a long time. Other than that,
Please contact the urban management or neighborhood committee, and never seek justice on your own. There is a 60 to 70 percent chance that ordinary monsters like you can't defeat Uncle Zhang who sells newspapers here. Fourth, the Imperial Military Academy is the only one here that is open to the outside world.
You can go in and visit the directly-controlled departments of the imperial government, but never agree to the so-called 'social practice volunteer' activities recommended to you by any of the associations there! Especially the associations with normal-sounding names. The more normal the association, the more dangerous it is! Especially
It's the Paranormal Research Society and the Biology Department! The fifth and most important one, please follow me and read it: the urban management is the most powerful in the world... The black-hearted boss who owes migrant workers their wages deserves to be kicked to death by a hundred horses.
…”
No one responded. Strictly speaking, when Reimu Hakurei was halfway through speaking, no one was looking at her. All eyes were focused on this unscrupulous person. Only Kohaku herself looked good about herself.
appearance.
"Eh? What's wrong with you?" Reimu asked troubledly, not knowing that a disaster was coming. The big bow on the back of her head ruined her last hope of finding her boss.
In the end, Marisa couldn't stand it anymore and pointed at Reimu's back: "Reimu, behind."
I put two choices in front of an unscrupulous girl with a doomsday look on her face: either get stabbed, or have this month’s bonus deducted. The other person’s attitude was very firm: “Just beat me to death!”
After bidding farewell to a group of happy monsters and a witch with bare arms and a full head, the young couple of the heads of the empire continued to wander in the assembly hall that echoed the festive atmosphere of the last day of the carnival. Time passed little by little, and even the most joyful things always happened.
At the end: The leisurely day passed like this, and I finally enjoyed the good life that I had not seen for a long time. Although I knew that there were countless jobs waiting for me after the carnival, at least I had a good day today.
As the night gradually fell, the stages in various parts of the venue were being dismantled one by one. Most of the tourists around me felt a little reluctant to leave, but there is no end to the banquet. I pulled Qian Qian on the bench at the edge of the totem area.
Sitting next to each other, watching the sunset that had been hanging in the sky for more than an hour, we were filled with emotions.
"Qianqian..."
"explain."
"Although I know you don't want it to end so early, it's almost dark, right?"
"oh……"
The artificial sun that had been struggling for an hour finally set successfully, and our Queen of Time let it go. Qianqian does this every time she encounters something that she doesn't want to end early. The amount of people responsible for daily system maintenance in Shadow City
The production hosts have worked really hard.
At this moment, footsteps sounded from beside me. I followed the sound and turned around to see a black shadow rushing toward me. The amazing reflexes I had honed over the years of practicing various grappling and fighting with Xue Yatou exploded smoothly at this moment. Subconsciously, I
I stretched out my hand to block and pushed the black shadow out with a "swish" - but I reacted in less than a tenth of a millisecond, followed the shadow and rushed sideways. After all, I couldn't save this regrettable situation.
It was a mistake. In the end, we returned to the bench with a tooth mark on our head. The mercury lamp sat on my shoulder, and the little mouth continued to nibble on my father's head tirelessly.
"I let you throw me, I let you throw me!"
The little princess bit her scalp and it clicked, mumbling vaguely.
"Just now I saw that the sun never set, so I guessed that Qianqian was causing trouble again," my elder sister walked over with a smile, followed by a large group of family members, "I didn't expect it to be over so soon.
It’s a bit of a pity indeed.”
"I wanted to call you home, but I didn't expect you all to come." I put a steel helmet on my head, and the mercury lamp immediately hit me with my fist. In the end, I could only clamp this awkward little guy under my arms.
In the nest, "Anweina? Even you came out?"
"Because...because it's the last day of the festival, the master will definitely come out to us," the little ghost hid among the crowd, looking anxiously at the dense flow of people coming and going at the assembly venue," Mistress Sandora said
There is a fireworks show tonight, Anweina likes fireworks!"
Qian Qian immediately shouted: "Fireworks party!? Why didn't I know?"
"Thank you for delaying it for more than an hour." I glanced sideways at the other party, "Because fireworks are a popular way of celebrating in many parts of the world, we scheduled the fireworks to be set off after sunset, but the control department should be busy right now.
Let’s check the host’s watch, why are your moves always so light and heavy!”
Because of her rash actions, the girl's favorite fireworks since childhood were postponed for more than an hour. She lowered her head in frustration, but after only a moment of disappointment, she slapped her head: "It was just delayed by an hour!
Look at me!”
"Don't--" I just had time to speak, and the sky instantly changed from the dark blue of sunset to a thick night, and Bubble shouted from the spiritual connection: "The child's father! Can you let Qian Qian rest?"
What! I just set my watch here! You have to set off fireworks at the right time. It doesn’t matter if it’s dark!”
After a little trouble, the fireworks show that was about to start was postponed for a while. The Shadow City Brood had to hurriedly correct the parameter chaos caused by abnormal time distortion, waiting for the evening
Visitors to the show from all walks of life were very confused by the convulsive changes in the sky - because Qian Qian, a simple guy, was only changing the time flow of the artificial sky curtain, but forcibly cutting the time connection between the sky curtain and the ground. Such chaos.
This behavior not only made poor Bubbles need to increase massive calculations to buffer various errors, but also puzzled the onlookers who did not know the truth below. Everyone speculated whether the recent power rationing, energy conservation and emission reduction policies caused the lighting problem in the imperial capital.
Nervous: Look, it jumped from dusk to night and then from night to night without even a hint of warning.
But when the first fireworks suddenly pierced the night sky and bloomed into a brilliant display above everyone's heads, no one cared about the dialectical relationship between the setting sun and the power cuts. The long-awaited fireworks show was a carnival.
It marks the end, but it is also the last event of the entire celebration. Visitors from all worlds gather together at this time to participate in this last link. The assembly hall is crowded with people, wearing folk costumes from all worlds, and with all kinds of strange appearances.
The guests looked up at the brilliant brilliance of the sky at the same time, and gave out endless cheers like waves.
Even the citizens of Macroworld who have seen fireworks in their own world are amazed by the magnificent fireworks in front of them. This "original entertainment method" has been slightly improved by several Xiling technicians who are interested in the local culture of the earth.
They became even more incredible. The giant fireworks rising into the sky not only turned into brilliant flower shapes with loud explosions, but some even turned into lifelike three-dimensional pictures and lines of clear text.
Many of those pictures are iconic things in a certain world, and they are all randomly selected lucky ones, while the words are phrases we collected from every visitor to this carnival, which were also randomly selected and made into
There were giant fireworks, and when a line of "Bless my sister Fanny" burst into bloom in the sky, I heard a shout of surprise not far away.
When the volunteers asked each tourist to enter a line of phrases on their ID card before, they did not tell the tourists what these phrases would be used for, so now it became a huge surprise, line by line.
Words full of blessings were lit in the sky, causing continuous cheers and shouts of surprise. Everyone hoped that they could be lucky enough to be selected, and the selected guy shouted excitedly. In the end, the organizing committee
Even a large number of medical staff had to be dispatched everywhere to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The sales of Suxiao Jiuxin Pills in Shadow City hit a record high tonight.
Deafening cheers echoed around, pushing the atmosphere of the fireworks party to the climax. People hugged each other, blessed each other, and promised to meet again at the second carnival five years later. They warmly invited friends from other worlds to come to their own.
As guests from all over the world, they enthusiastically exchanged their addresses and postal codes, exchanged mobile phones and management IDs, and promised to keep in touch online in the future. A private selection team appeared out of nowhere, this group of uncles and aunts
The group began to comment on the fireworks in the sky, and quickly selected various awards such as "The Most Creative Message", "The Most Ordinary Message", "The Most Cheating Message", "The Most Unfortunate Message", etc. The most creative message currently is "This
Replies to messages are visible." The most common message is "I like leeks and eggs." The most deceptive message is "It is said that there is no word limit in this input field. I don't know if it is true." The most unlucky message is "Marriage proposal: 137xxxx1352"——
This grandson didn't let his wife beat him to death.
Of course, as the fireworks show continues, these message awards are also constantly being refreshed. It is indeed a wise move to conduct an unannounced essay solicitation. It brings unspeakable joy to the general public, especially an unlucky child.
After typing out my bank card account number and password...
Of course, such a joyful event would not be without the even more joyful participation of the head of state's family. Pandora and Viska were preparing their own small fireworks in the open space next to them: they lined up more than two hundred individual cannons in two rows on the ground.
He was excitedly preparing to detonate, but of course, he was successfully stopped.
Anweina looked at the ball of light in the sky excitedly, and after a while she simply took off into the air, seemingly planning to embrace that brilliance - but as soon as she took off, she was knocked down by two kicks thrown by Wu Geng Liuli not far away.
.
The mercury lamp asked for three "big thunderbolts" from someone unknown. Two of them exploded on my head, leaving a small doll that I dared not let go of and gave it to Sandora to eat.
Little Paopao went out for a walk, and when he came back, he was holding a smoking thunderbolt in his hand - this one finally exploded in my hand.
Cuixingshi and several other doll girls worked together to resist a giant firework that was three meters long and weighed hundreds of kilograms. It must have been snatched from the goblin area not far away. The naughty and funny Cuixingshi ordered the fireworks to be turned upside down.
I placed it and sat on top of the fireworks, wanting to see if I could launch myself. I tried hard to stop the ignorant puppet’s move, but at this time the young berry had already ignited: the rushing flames hit me in the face, and then the fireworks rushed out.
Go out and blow up Cu Chulainn who is patrolling.
Qianqian was just yelling happily at first, but soon she creatively proposed to use anti-aircraft artillery to shoot a "sky star" in the sky to see if it could still be seen on the ground. Because of this girl's god-like movement speed
, even my sister didn’t have time to stop her. Later we found that the stars shot out by the anti-aircraft cannon could not be seen clearly on the ground, but Raven 001, who happened to be patrolling above, observed the fireworks at close range. She thought the fireworks were a
It's quite painful, especially when they are hit by anti-aircraft guns.
Lin Xue kept chattering next to me, always telling me ten seconds in advance what the next fireworks that was supposed to be a surprise would be like. In the end, my sister had to use tape to cast a big silence spell on her.
Shandora expressed that she was very satisfied with the entertainment products invented by humans, "fireworks and firecrackers", especially their taste - the image of this girl chewing half a "Charizard" in her mouth and constantly smoking is very impressive.
It needs to be emphasized here that the big flame was finally bitten by Sandora and ignited, and it finally sprayed in my face.
The carnival ended in this joyful atmosphere. Due to the color of my head, I was unable to attend the speech at the closing ceremony - this was the only thing worth being happy about after being bombarded by the happy girls...
