flower and big devil

【He fell at the very beginning, but he was not the last one to fall. 】

What Mr. Caterpillar said sounds very meaningful.

Because this reminded Luo Xiu of the things Alicia told him about "Alice"—and now, they were telling him by coincidence that he was not the first person to be named "Alice", There may also be more "Alice" of various kinds in the future; he is not the first person to come to Wonderland, and most likely he will not be the last.

[The last name 'Alice' asked me to give you this egg. 】

……

[You should get all the enlightenment about things from the dream, I am just a passerby, responsible for releasing weapons into your hands and then guiding you in the direction you are going when you stop - the game begins when you step into Buddha Luomen That moment had already begun, Alice, and none of us were the ones to stop it. 】

……

[They or they all paid the price of their lives because they wanted to leave the game halfway—it’s meaningless, and it doesn’t help—your existence is the best explanation, just like if you fail this time, you still have to pay for it. The next Alice will appear...]

"Oh, that's right."

The black-haired young man muttered to himself amidst the smoke from Mr. Caterpillar, yes, he vaguely remembered that when Alicia talked about these things, she seemed to mention "another person" ——And everything is controlled by him behind the scenes, no one can violate him: once the "game" starts, it can only continue, and no one is qualified to stop it except "that person".

And now, Luo Xiu finally thought of a problem that he should have noticed long ago but has been ignored by himself——

who's that person?

What is he doing all this for?

... One after another "Alice" came to this strange world. From what Mr. Caterpillar said, it can be imagined that they are probably all experiencing the same thing-the pool water polluted by the dark duke's pepper soup, lazy animals Ladies and gentlemen, this is what Luo Xiu has experienced, and it is also the first Alice experienced. The difference is that Luo Xiu broke away from the dream at a critical moment, and from the words of Mr. Caterpillar, one can guess, The first Alice might not be so lucky...

Sitting in front of a dilapidated pornographic book stall, the black-haired young man propped his chin with one hand, as if he was asking Mr. Caterpillar, and more like talking to himself slowly: "Hey, Caterpillar, do you think Alice appears one after another, if the same person is behind the scenes, what is the reason?"

"That's a good question." The caterpillar took a puff on its cigarette and narrowed its eyes, which were not so big. "Either that person is crazy, or he is looking for a specific person, and he is not so sure." Whose "person" is it—which one do you think?"

After a few seconds of silence, Luo Xiu showed a suddenly realized expression: "He is looking for someone?!"

"Really?" The caterpillar showed a disappointed expression, "I'm more inclined that the person you said is a lunatic, aha."

"In any case, thank you, Mr. Caterpillar. To some extent, you are like a guide." Luo Xiu replied politely and sincerely.

Hearing the black-haired young man's sincere thanks, the caterpillar suppressed the disappointment on its face, and let out a "puchi" that was probably a laughing sound: "You're still cute, Alice, if you don't lose your temper."

"And thanking you doesn't mean I won't beat you up when you speak rudely." The black-haired young man said expressionlessly.

"Oh, don't be angry."

Mr. Caterpillar answered in a nonchalant manner, and then tapped the pipe on the chair under his buttocks. Some black ash flew out of the pipe and got into the black-haired young man's nose, causing him to sneez twice.After such a short but meaningful (non-derogatory) conversation, Luo Xiu stood up and bid farewell to the caterpillar selling pornographic books in a thoughtful voice. He felt that he wanted to find out the truth of the matter more and more, about " The identity of that person, and his real purpose... Now he feels that he must take the initiative, instead of being led by the NPCs from beginning to end to follow the plot-this is an improvement, Luo Xiu told himself , he has at least changed from completely passive to the current active offensive mode, although no one knows whether his change is just an item arranged in the script.

And when the black-haired young man left the dilapidated booth and started to look for court musicians, as soon as he left, a lot of people came to the caterpillar booth one after another. Of course, these people still looked strange, but it was not difficult From their attire, it can be seen that most of them are "them", and these girls are holding a thin booklet in their hands-if Luo Xiu is still here, he will not be surprised to find that The booklet was familiar to him—because he had flipped through it before—yes, it was the one with his image printed on the cover, and the content inside was obscene and obscene.

"Caterpillar, I think you have to explain this book!" A leading girl slammed the book that was about to be crushed by her on the small broken table, while sitting behind the table The caterpillar was still smoking its shisha calmly, which made the voice of the visitor a few decibels higher, "We spend money to buy books for entertainment-what the hell did you write at the end? The ending? The Duke of Darkness was pierced through the heart by Alice's sickle and died! Alice committed suicide by holding his head and swallowing the huge gemstone on the Duke of Darkness's scepter?!——The caterpillar is awesome, your fucking brain is for pigs Why did you write such an anti-human and anti-society finale?!"

"Don't get excited, girl." Mr. Caterpillar said with a smile, "First of all, thank you for supporting the genuine version."

"Fans turned black! Fans turned black!"

The girl yelled loudly—which caused the group of people behind to yell too, with the line “passers-by turned dark” mixed in… The lively voices around became louder—to the end Every one of the girls had sparks in their eyes, and every one of them looked like they wanted to tear apart the caterpillar sitting calmly smoking behind the desk, and the caterpillar... looked very calm , a beating look of "I am the master of my territory".

"You have to know that sometimes it's very difficult to write even small pornography." The caterpillar said slowly, "The characters in the pen always come to life in the middle of the writing-they start to have their own The thinking mode is no longer under control, and at that time, I will no longer be a person who writes a book, I will become a worker who simply describes events, a slave of thought.”

"Stop talking nonsense."

"It's like this book." The caterpillar pretended not to hear the sneers and taunts from the others. It first tapped the crumpled and crumpled book on the table with its bong barrel—there were pictures drawn on it. The beautiful young black-haired Alice twisted her entire face because of the folds of the paper, and the caterpillar continued in its unhurried voice, "The ending of Alice and the Duke of Darkness is their own choice, life or death , whether to perish or to remain forever—I just recorded the one that I think is the most reasonable.”

Mr. Caterpillar said, at this moment, the surroundings suddenly fell silent—the chaotic voices surrounding him suddenly disappeared, and all the people seemed to be under a spell that forbids them to speak, and they stared silently. The caterpillar, looking surprised and disdainful, seemed to be quietly waiting for something crazier to say.

And the caterpillar finally lived up to everyone's expectations and began to talk to itself: "Oh, yes, you will never understand how reasonable this ending is-Alice's scythe, the Dark Duke's scepter, his irritability, His pride, the collision of flames and ice is doomed to no good ending, either the flames are extinguished by the ice, or the ice is evaporated by the flames..."

The caterpillar took a deep breath of smoke, and the smoke he exhaled blurred its turquoise fat body that was crowded together in layers, and the milky white smoke swirled around it. Finally, they There is a faint silhouette, which almost becomes a background—from a distance, it seems that a pair of white wings suddenly grew out of the back of the caterpillar sitting on the dirty and tattered bench, Accompanied by the floating of the smoke, the pair of wings were almost still vibrating and fluttering slightly.

"I have no more doubts about this than you can doubt that I will one day turn into a butterfly."

……

"Guess, after getting rid of the sins, I will become the butterfly closest to the sky?"

The caterpillar's eyes wandered.

Finally, he fixed his gaze on the back of the crowd - in a very inconspicuous corner, a mass of flesh-pink thing was flapping its wings and floating in mid-air, and the tail of the little peach devil on its buttocks was As it floated up and down, it swung back and forth, and behind it, the pair of fleshy bone wings didn't flap as hard as usual, and now their movements became slow and graceful——

Like, it's hard to imagine what it's like when a meatball decides to be classy.

While floating, two slender gaps suddenly appeared not far above the mouth of the fleshy mass—after a few seconds, the gaps slowly opened, revealing the A pair of bright red pupils.

Those bright red pupils looked at the eyes of Mr. Caterpillar in the center of the crowd.

Mr. Caterpillar chuckled.

The next second, the girl closest to the caterpillar suddenly screamed.

At first she only heard a soft "poof" - the slight popping sound as if someone had cut a distended belly with a sharp blade - and before she had time to realize what happened, she just She felt something sticky and cold splash on her face.

She widened her eyes slightly, as if in disbelief, she watched as the caterpillar sitting behind the shabby little table split open from the center of its forehead—green, viscous blood kept getting more and more from the split on its body. Splashes came out from the big wound—she reached out her hand to wipe the "unidentified liquid" that was flowing down her cheeks at the moment, and found that they were also green!

"Ahhhhhhhhh-"

Amidst the abnormally high-decibel scream, there was a tick, and the tobacco rod held by the caterpillar fell to the ground.

Something that was probably a caterpillar's eyeball flew out of its fat body, and the round thing landed on the dirty little table, and it happened to land on the booklet that had been thrown on the table before—the green one. Blood trailed a long trail of blood on the young black-haired young man in a maid's outfit on the pamphlet.

The next thing that flew out was probably its flesh.

Then there were pieces of green skin with flesh and blood—a very vivid green epidermis, on which the characteristic spots of caterpillars could still be vaguely seen.

There was a light "puchi", just like the caterpillar's laughter in front of the black-haired young man before, and then, the caterpillar was sitting there with layers of fat piled on the small bench Like a water bag that was suddenly crushed, the splashed green viscous blood, viscera and smelly intestines were like a blooming firework. They flew everywhere, and the empty green skin quickly shriveled and drooped. Down piled into a ball!

The crowd around the stall scrambled to disperse, and those who stood close were all splashed with organs of different shapes or caterpillar skin!

In the chaotic crowd, no one noticed that a piece of the pile of green, smelly caterpillar corpses that were limp on the ground suddenly moved. The sound of "da da da" girls running around with their high heels and their voices from their throats Amidst the screams in its eyes, an insect with huge curled wings slowly crawled out silently. The first second it came into contact with the sun and air, its wings seemed to be unfolded. It unfolded slowly like a picture scroll, and finally, it gradually turned into a pair of huge butterfly wings with colorful colors.

After flapping its wings lightly, the butterfly slowly soared into the sky.

……

At this time, the black-haired young man who had already walked to another street and knew nothing about what happened one street away suddenly stopped in his steps, and turned around as if he had noticed something, but just in time to see Slowly behind him, the meat dumpling that was flapping its wings like a headless chicken clumsily bumped towards him.

He raised his eyebrows, and before the fleshy thing hit his face, he stretched out his hand and caught it firmly.

"Where did you go?"

"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr."

"..."

The black-haired young man put the meat dumpling back on his shoulders, then followed the direction of the crowd and continued to walk in the direction where the court musicians should be.

The meatball on his shoulder wrapped its tail intimately around the black-haired young man's slender neck, turned around clumsily, and lay on the black-haired young man's shoulder, using its flat, without any cracks, Face to the direction of the sky.

In the direction it was facing, an inconspicuous fire suddenly flickered in the sky.

It was as if something was flying into the sky and the sky was suddenly burned in mid-air.
