Chapter 22 Pear Blossom Lantern Festival
Chapter 22 Pear Blossom Lantern Festival (Part )
This realization is like a stone thrown into the water, and the ripples completely break the joyful and peaceful scene before our eyes.
She just felt that everything had a strong sense of unnaturalness.
The falsehood tries to disguise itself as reality, giving you goose bumps, just like seeing a puppet that looks too human.
Liu Sheng took a deep breath, and the soul-fixing pendant on her waist emitted bursts of refreshing air, preventing her from having distorted thoughts again.
Looking more closely, the lanterns on the street were all of strange shapes, as if they were crudely made by a child who didn't know how to make lanterns. The fish didn't look like fish, the rabbit didn't look like rabbit, and they didn't seem to be made of the gauze or oil paper usually used to make lanterns. Instead, they looked more like they were made by poking bamboo and wooden strips into some flesh-colored leather and stretching it out, with blood streaks on it.
Liu Sheng walked and looked along the way.
The stalls on both sides of the street no longer sell those fragrant and sweet things. Some are selling organs of unknown animals, which are covered in blood; there are also candied haws with eyes strung together in the shape of candied haws, and the stalls are full of these "eye gourds" with wide-open eyes; the stalls selling mutton soup are still boiling something, but when the stall owner stirs it with a large spoon, the shapes of human hands and feet can be seen.
People on the street were carrying all kinds of ugly and strange lanterns, and many of them were holding human head lanterns like the child just now.
The acrobat's hands and feet were twisted, and he didn't even seem to notice that his foot was broken when he twisted it over his head.
The dragon and lion dances were even more outrageous, with no idea how many people were crammed under the thin layer of blood-stained cover, their feet were in a mess and they were stumbling, their bodies were bulging, and from time to time a head or half of the intestines would fall out.
He really has no aesthetic sense at all, the little tentacle complained to Liu Sheng.
Liu Sheng was speechless. Do you think you are good-looking with your smooth, black tentacles?
Moreover, the biggest flaw just now was that there was no face of the Supreme God in the sky, but even Liu Sheng subconsciously ignored this completely impossible thing.
You know, in this world, even if you can't see the stars or the moon, it's impossible that there is no face in the sky!
Liu Sheng didn’t know yet that she was able to get out of the maze so quickly because she had super high resilience.
People like Fu Ze and Song Haiyin are still deeply trapped in hallucinations.
Liu Sheng walked carefully, trying not to bump into or talk to the people on the street.
After all, she already knew that these were not living people.
The feeling of being stalked everywhere became stronger, and I could clearly sense the malicious intent.
"Girl, do you want to guess the lantern riddles? It's one penny per time. If you guess it right, I'll give you a lantern. The lanterns I make are very beautiful."
Suddenly, a weak voice came from the side, and it didn't sound very confident.
Liu Sheng didn't want to pay attention to this person at first, but was attracted by the last sentence.
She is good in every way, except that she is too curious.
She wanted to see how beautiful the lamp was.
At first glance, it's a bit eye-irritating. It seems that everyone likes the patchwork style.
There is a mermaid lantern, but it does not have a human body and a fish tail, but a fish head and a human body, so it should be called a fish-man lantern.
There are also rabbit lamps with horse bodies and rabbit heads, and pale green vine lamps with eyes all over them...
When Liu Sheng saw the vine lamp, he felt that the "eyes" of the little tentacles lit up.
Want want want want want...
Liu Sheng felt a little helpless. Now this little tentacle said it was her "mother", but she felt like she was taking care of a baby, even though she was clearly the "mother".
No, she didn't want to be its mother either.
In short, if "mom" wants something, she will make a fuss if she doesn't give it to her.
Liu Sheng had no choice but to take out a penny and give it to the boss, and carefully looked at the note on the ugly lamp.
【Take half, leave half.】
Liu Sheng thought for a while. After all, she was a top student, so how could this riddle stump her?
So she took out "The World" from her storage bag.
Open and enter:
"There is a riddle: half is needed, half is left. What is the answer?"
[It is the character for thunder.]
"It's the word 'thunder'."
Liu Sheng looked up and answered confidently, then pointed at the ugly lamp, his meaning was self-evident.
The stall owner was still a little confused. He didn't understand what the man in front of him took out, so how did he get the answer right?
But the person did get the answer right, and it had never seen anyone answer so quickly, so many people could only have their heads twisted off by it in silence.
It took off the vine lamp and handed it to Liu Sheng in a daze.
The little tentacle excitedly took the ugly lamp and shook it back and forth. Those densely packed eyes seemed to blink in the flickering firelight.
Even uglier.
Liu Sheng was very disgusted.
But she noticed that since she picked up the lantern, the noise on the street had subsided, and the twisted darkness seemed much quieter. A few steps ahead, there was another guessing game booth.
"Girl, do you want to guess a riddle?"
"want."
Liu Sheng wanted to verify it, so he agreed.
She gritted her teeth and picked a lantern that was less bloody, and continued to do the same thing, letting the "world" answer the questions.
The greatest advantage of human beings is that they are good at using tools, and Liu Sheng doesn't feel embarrassed at all.
It would be a waste if we don’t use the foreign aid!
Then, I happily got an ugly lamp.
Unfortunately, this ugly lamp is not "Mom's" favorite, so Liu Sheng has to carry it by himself.
There are fewer stalls on the streets.
Continuing on, I saw another riddle guessing stall.
Continue to harvest an ugly lamp.
The strange thing was that these stalls seemed to be frequented by no other "people" except her.
However, Liu Sheng didn't want to squeeze with these "people".
But she didn't even see Fu Ze and Song Haiyin.
Not to mention Wang Dongdong whom she had always been thinking about.
However, Liu Sheng couldn't care less about that now.
Her strange energy detector told her that she was heading towards the place where the strange energy was the strongest.
Liu Sheng kept guessing riddles and holding the lantern as he walked forward.
There are fewer and fewer stalls around me, the streets are getting quieter, and the juggling and lion dance performances are gradually fading away...
Gradually, Liu Sheng could only see a lantern riddles stall a few meters away, and further away was endless darkness.
The pear blossoms are still falling, covering the sky and the ground with a white color, adding a sense of emptiness to the dark and quiet street with only a single lamp.
Liu Sheng was holding at least a dozen lanterns in his hands, each ugly in its own way.
A one-meter-long black tentacle as thick as a wrist stretched out from behind him, playing with a vine lamp that had long been extinguished.
At this time, the red color indicated on the strange energy detector became increasingly darker, and now it had turned into a sinister red.
It is estimated that the center of the weirdness is just around the corner.
"Girl, do you want to guess the riddles?"
The stall owner's voice was very familiar, and his appearance was also familiar.
Liu Sheng's face, which had been calm and composed until now, finally showed a hint of shock.
It’s Wang Dongdong’s good sister Yue Shan!
She had gone on trips with Wang Dongdong and the others before, and had meals with them a few times. Although she was a little face-blind, she still recognized Yue Shan, after all, she was quite pretty.
However, Yue Shan at this moment was no longer the bright and innocent girl. Her face was stiff and blue, half of her face was peeled off, one eyeball was hanging out, and her pink lips were torn below her earlobe. However, she maintained the sunniest smile.
Moreover, you could smell the strong stench of decay emanating from her through the lantern stand.
"Guess..." Liu Sheng sighed in his heart.
I don’t know how Wang Dongdong is doing.
As she thought about it, she took out a penny and placed it in front of Yue Shan, then carefully selected among the lamps.
After choosing for a long time, I really couldn't find anything more beautiful than the lantern in her hand.
After all this journey, Liu Sheng was a little tired of judging ugliness.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and he pointed at Yue Shan and said, "I want your lamp."
Although Yue Shan was surprised, her stiff face could no longer show any surprise.
"you sure?"
"determine."
"Then here's the problem."
"Guess what 'I' am?"
The corners of "Yue Shan"'s lips were curled up, and the malice was so strong that it was about to overflow.
