Doomsday Wonderland

The Queen of Soul was indeed right; when night fell, the small town lit up with lights.

Long dragon-shaped lanterns hover high on the building, staggeringly illuminating the entire city; plump and cheerful handmade red and white goldfish lanterns swim along the slide rails under the eaves, looking like lakes under the starry night. A hazy dream.

Walking in the small town, even the puppet master's face was reflected in the lantern. The improvement is that the children did not cry when they saw him, but wherever he went, there was still a large space left.

There were a few people throwing lanterns in the distance. Lin Sanjiu wanted to get closer, but it seemed that as soon as they saw the dark clouds, they retreated into the distance for a long time, and they couldn't get closer.

*

Bohemia and Lin Sanjiu whispered to each other for a while.

"Here, try this," Lin Sanjiu said, holding a bunch of candied haws that Bohemia had just bought from the food stall, and handed them to the puppet master. Just because the other party didn't answer, it didn't mean that she would take her hand back so honestly. "Whether you want to eat or not, you can take a bite first. It's a good time to catch the occasion. We're here for the Chinese New Year, right? I won't let you down with the candied haws. Besides..."

"Stop talking."

Her skills continued, and the puppeteer was finally annoyed by her and crushed the candied haws stick - but it didn't matter whether the stick was broken or not. At least a little rock sugar and hawthorn were persuaded into it.

*

"What is this?" Half of his face was twisted, and the corners of his eyes were as red as candied haws. "Are you taking revenge on me?"

It turns out that the puppet master doesn’t like sour food, Lin Sanjiu thought to herself.

*

"If he refuses to finish eating, I guess it won't be effective." Bohemia whispered, "Let's split up. You take care of the child while we go play."

It sounds like a husband who refuses to take responsibility.

*

I don’t know how I walked, but I was walking anyway, and as soon as I turned my head, everyone had almost dispersed, and behind me was Ji Shanqing, who was following me eagerly.

"Why are there so many people, and they are all evolutionaries!" Lin Sanjiu complained, stretching his neck, trying to find a few familiar ones from the back of his head that looked like mountains and seas. "Are there many people coming here to participate in the New Year celebrations like us? This place is very famous?"

"Of course," a passing evolutionist said, "You are the only one who can come to such an important event? I have my knife ready."

*

Lin Sanjiu stared blankly at the man's retreating figure and asked towards the gift bag, "Did he just say that the 'knife' was ready?"

Libao opened his mouth and thought for a while. "Sister, how about we inquire about the situation?"

*

Before they could find anyone who could ask, a "Woohoo!" floated overhead. Lin Sanjiu looked up and saw Yuan Xiangxi lying on a huge eagle kite, shouting to the crowd below: "Friends How’s your New Year?”

Many heads in the crowd raised their heads in anticipation.

When the Yuan floated to the west, the two evolvers looked at each other and complained: "What's going on? It just passed like this? With those words, I thought there was a show."

*

The gift bag found two very friendly local girls. As soon as the conversation started, they were warmly welcomed by each other and bathed in the shining eyes of the stars.

"Come and see," a girl waved vigorously in the distance, "This child looks amazing! He is so beautiful. Do you think he is particularly suitable for the fifth blessing message?"

"That's right," a group of people came out of nowhere, surrounding Ji Shanqing and exclaiming, "It's so beautiful, kid, you can't waste your talent. Come on, there is an event that requires you to be the face..."

*

"Sister?" Before the gift bag was pulled away, she turned around and called out shakily.

"Go ahead," Lin Sanjiu encouraged him, "just break into the interior and inquire about the situation."

*

If she was good-looking enough to ask for information, she had quite a few on hand.

*

I really wanted to know who was coming; within a few minutes, a sedan chair passed by. A blond beauty reclined lazily on the sedan; a pair of thin feet with curved arches rested on the soft cushions, like carefully placed gems.

Lin Sanjiu looked stupidly at Pina next to the sedan, who was happily following the great witch. After a while, she was setting off fireworks for her, and in the blink of an eye, she merged into the crowd.

*

"The first celebration is about to begin!" A broadcast sounded from somewhere, repeatedly announcing with background music: "Please don't move around and try to stay in place..."

The news of the gift bag hadn't come yet, so Lin Sanjiu just walked slowly in the general direction he was going. At this time, he happened to be at a crossroads and stopped along with the crowd of people around him.

*

"What's the first celebration?" she turned around and asked.

"Exorcise evil spirits, bring luck and blessings," said a very enthusiastic eldest sister, "Of course the first activity is to exorcise evil spirits."

*

This is good. She has never seen a folk celebration up close. This is going to take a long time—

*

Before the word "knowledge" left his mind, Lin Sanjiu saw an eagle kite flying far away in the air.

Yuan Xiangxi held on to the eagle kite tightly, but the string had long been broken. A strong wind came from unknown sources and swept him away, leaving a long string of "ahhhhhh" in mid-air - It was almost as if he had been struck by a [shining ding in the sky].

*

Lin Sanjiu opened her mouth and thought, that's right, why are ghosts not evil?

*

The next second, a dark and slender figure was thrown into the air; when she saw it clearly, her mind froze.

*

The New Year's Ceremony was so powerful that even the puppet master was raised from the ground.

However, a puppet master is a puppet master after all, and he is different from Yuan Xiangxi, who is light and playful and plays with his whole existence. He resisted the force and fell straight to the earth. He only heard a loud noise and the ground moved rapidly. , several buildings seemed to be made of flour, and they were smashed to the ground one after another - the crowd immediately began to scream and run away. If the announcement had not been made to persuade people not to move, a stampede would have occurred on the spot.

Well, I didn’t expect that the source of the stampede incident was not Sbaan.

*

"Hey, I seem to have accidentally driven away a few participants," the broadcaster said without thinking, "Let's continue, continue."

*

Lin Sanjiu stood in the crowd and watched the thick black, water-like and mist-like flows rising up from under his feet; they seemed to be very thick and thick, and they were reluctantly squeezed by some kind of force. What came out merged with the "black water" at the feet of others, and gurgled behind them, and no one knew where it went.

"Ah, everyone feels much more relaxed after the exorcism," the eldest sister next to me sighed. “It’s so comfortable and refreshing.”

So...is it a fortune massage?

*

After a while, Lin Sanjiu found many other things in the "black water": dead mice, cigarette butts, a cry, a motionless little man with no facial features, and...the stripped-out Queen of Souls.

*

"I'm so angry." The big meat insect hung on Lin Sanjiu's arm. After finally getting out of the "black water", its mouth was already strong again. "What the hell, I am a queen, but I don't get the respect I deserve!"

"Why did you take off your clothes?" Lin Sanjiu asked.

"Do you think I'm willing to take it off?" The Soul Queen was very unhappy. "As soon as the evil spirits are exorcised, Skin and I will be separated. We can't resist it at all."

Okay, at this moment, there is probably an empty body bag written in a gift package floating in the black water somewhere.

"The celebration was recommended by you, how come you don't know its content?"

The big meat insect was silent for a while.

"Hey, it seems like the luck is about to start," it said nonchalantly, and while Lin Sanjiu was distracted, it slid onto the clean floor - the activity of exorcising evil spirits seemed to be able to clean the floor. "Hurry up, get ready, luck is coming, hurry up and catch it, don't worry about me."

I’ll catch whatever I want?

*

Lin Sanjiu was stunned, and then heard the announcement on the radio: "Congratulations to this year's participants. With everyone's participation, cooperation and unremitting calls, this celebration has successfully attracted a lot of good luck!"

There was a thunderous cheer from the crowd, and the evolvers beside them began to push and shove, moving away from each other and clearing some distance between each other.

"Please be prepared for arrest, a lot of good luck is about to come, three-"

The crowd joined in the countdown: "Two—"

When the word "one" was counted, Lin Sanjiu's vision was suddenly illuminated. Countless rainbows filled the sky with twinkling lights and long tails, roaring down from the dark sky, lighting up a dazzling meteor shower between heaven and earth.

This time I didn’t forget to change the extra chapter into a free chapter! Logically speaking, this chapter should have been published on New Year's Eve, but who knows what happened, before I knew it, ah, it was already the second day of the Lunar New Year... Well, if I don't finish writing this Spring Festival extra as soon as possible, the Spring Festival will be over. …

Good news: The new book has been reduced from 10,000 words to 1,500 words, and the book will be released soon. What does "just around the corner" mean? The ancients pointed to the sun and waited, describing the meaning of waiting as long as the sun.
