The end game [Zhongyingmei]

As if watching a movie, the five Sisleys chose their positions on the big bed, you stacked me, I hugged you, like a nest of chirping birds; the plate containing the ruby ​​cheesecake was also brought back On the bed sheet, passed back and forth between the hands of the five Sisleys.

The "movie" provided by Abaddon began in this way with the constantly shaking camera.

"When did you follow?"

Sisley sat in Mephisto's arms and raised her head to ask the black-haired youth.

"..."

The latter was silent for a moment, stretched out a slender finger, and pressed it against her lips vaguely.

In the midday sun, Abaddon's eyebrows were slightly drawn, and his long eyelashes drooped, like a primrose that had been tanned and wilted.

Sisley:?

Sisley: The little seal tilts its head.jpg

The ruler of hell rarely makes such a gesture of "because she can't reply, so I hope she doesn't ask for the time being", so Sisley is curious, but she temporarily suppressed her questioning attitude.

In the light screen, the lord of hell seems to have finally adjusted the position of the camera, the shaking slowed down, the lens was raised, and moved to the abnormally bright full moon in the night sky.

The wind and sand were whimpering and blowing over the jagged and strange rocks in the Gobi Desert, but there was a person humming indistinctly. His clear and soft voice penetrated the surrounding noise and was completely captured by the video equipment.

"When the moon becomes the roundest, follow the north directed by the stars, follow the traces left by the man with the artificial leg, and head towards the Populus euphratica."

The singing paused, and Yogel suddenly appeared in the camera.

The little prince's light purple eyes and half-length curly hair are all covered under the windshield hood. He is wearing a simple and airy robe that travelers in the desert often wear. At this time, he is holding a wind lantern in his hand, and the flames are full of vitality The ground was beating, as if trying to disperse the dark night of this desert with its own power.

"What are you recording?" he asked curiously.

"Videoing Sisley."

Abaddon, who could not be found by the camera, answered softly.

"Ah, that's great." Yogel coughed lightly, leaned in front of the camera, showed a loving grandfather-like smile, and beckoned, "Hello, little moon, your uncle went to explore, no need to worry."

At the same time, Sisley on the other side of the screen waved her hand quietly, and Mephisto lazily pressed her paw.

"There is less than an hour, and it is time for us to act, little moon."

After waving his hand for 30 seconds, Yogel slowly lowered his arms and explained in a gentle tone, "We have found traces of people with prosthetic legs... This actually refers to the burrows made by a kind of gecko in the desert. It represents the direction of the underground water source. This is what your uncle suggested."

The camera shakes again, and Sisley hears Yogel greeting someone outside the screen.

"Are you back?" the little prince said softly.

"I've already checked."

The familiar voice wafted into Sisley's ears, and Gabriel stopped forking the cake and stared at the screen instead.

As the camera moved up, Sisleys saw Earl Gray's attire clearly: the silver-haired man was wearing geological exploration equipment, with a miner's cap on his head, as if he was ready to go.

There was no smile on his face, but his tender green eyes were very bright under the moonlight, as if something supported him again and made his soul burn.

"Don't be afraid of the depths of the yellow sand, the oasis and fairies are at the end."

Earl Gray finished the last two lines of the ballad, pointed to the palace that looked like a magic mountain in the night, and explained to the camera, "The poplar tree should refer to the elongated shadow of the strange rock under the moonlight, and the deep yellow sand Before tonight, no matter how close we tried to get to the palace, it was so close but so far away, like a mirage."

After Earl Gray finished speaking, the screen shook a little.

————— Abaddon gently covered the camera with his hand. He seemed to cut out the waiting part in the middle. When the picture reappeared, Yogel and Earl Gray were already standing in front of the camera.

"Going to go."

The little prince stretched out a hand to Abaddon who was sitting in concern, and pulled him to stand up.

The screen shook again, and the perspective changed. Abaddon walked to his backpack, carried the required items, and followed the figure of Earl Gray who was slightly covered by the yellow sand.

Whether it is the little prince in the crack of time and space, the virtual human body supplied with unlimited energy, or the dead returning to the world from the train, they will not feel tired because of the high-speed travel.

With the "rustling" sound of walking on the sand, the sleeping palace seemed to be getting closer and closer.

The moonlight is bright and cold. When it lowers its arms to touch the scenery of the world, the details of the decorations on the palace begin to be revealed in the camera lens, like a veil slowly falling.

However, the further you go, the darker the building looks like a crouching beast, with creepy cunning and calmness, waiting for someone who doesn't know how to live or die to enter it, as an unsolicited dinner delivered to your door.

Sisley: ………

Seeing the shaking of the camera, which was almost the same as the No.1 horror movie, she twisted in Mephisto's arms, pulled the arm of the big beauty Rose, and blocked her eyes.

Abaddon gently patted Sisley on the back, motioning her to continue looking down.

In the light screen, the palace became covered with sky and sun, the sound of wind and sand rubbing against each other began to change silently, and the hallucinatory sound of running water washed over the camera.

Earl Gray stood in front of the main entrance of the palace, turned around, and waited for Yogel and Abaddon to enter.

After Yogel signaled silently that he was ready, the old and handsome man looked at the lens for the last time, reached out to hold the monster pull ring with a snake body and a human face, and buckled the black door.

The little prince walked to his side, took off his hood, and revealed the true face of that beautiful boy.

"Prince Ugor of Altushka, come to visit." He said softly, "Supreme King, my distant cousin, will you allow us to enter your territory?"

Accompanied by a heavy push and pull sound, the door suddenly opened, and a strong suction appeared in an instant, and the camera bumped and slammed into the dark back of the door.

Sisley: This cake suddenly tastes bad in your mouth.jpg

"Don't be afraid." Abaddon caught a glimpse of his complicated expression, and could only pat Sisley's head helplessly, "We're fine."

As if to verify his words, the light screen slowly lit up while trembling, and then the trembling stabilized, and it was firmly fixed by Abaddon again.

This is a hall that is almost completely plunged into darkness. Only the moonlight from the broken glass window above can outline the furnishings in the room.

————————The stone sculptures carefully carved by the craftsmen and broken into two halves, the tea table smashed into waste wood, the oil paintings on both sides with completely weathered colors, and the pavement on the ground, which have been tortured by the wind and sand The cashmere rugs that cracked at the touch, and everything looked so pale and gorgeous, like a decayed, old afternoon's dream.

As soon as the camera turned, Yogel and Earl Gray also appeared behind the screen. They seemed to be conscious and unharmed. They were checking the furnishings in the audience hall and whispering something.

After they finished discussing, the little prince, who had put the family pattern ring back on his hand, walked to Abaddon, and gave him a "move forward" gesture quietly.

Of course Abaddon had no objection to this.

The camera smoothly scanned the dark corridors and palace rooms they walked through. Everything was as broken as the empty audience hall at the beginning, but people could vaguely distinguish the beauty before that.

Ugel led them forward. The little prince who grew up in the palace seemed to be quite familiar with the structure of the palace. After turning around a relief building for the last time, the huge library finally came into view. Smooth shots.

The bright moonlight fell from the broken skylight and fell into the badly damaged lunar probe in the library. The books were overturned and buried in the yellow sand, like a messy treasure, waiting for Yogel and Abaddon excavation.

The pages were blown everywhere, Earl Gray casually picked up from the yellow sand a book that had been destroyed so that only the cover remained, almost just unsealed in the onion yellow sand, the cover that had been weathered for hundreds of thousands of years melted in his hands For the powder.

The older man seemed to sigh regretfully, and patted the ashes off his hands.

As soon as the camera turned, Abaddon began to explore alone in the library.

The monarch of hell walked lightly. He skipped the books on the bookshelf, stepped over the yellow sand on the ground, and came to the severely damaged lunar probe.

He half-kneeled down, gently shook the structure of the steel object, and turned it over, until some mechanism "clicked", the dim stars on both sides lit up again, and something deeper began to emerge from the depths of the lunar probe. float into the air.

"how do you---"

Facing this magical scene, Sisley sat up straight in Mephisto's embrace, and tugged on Abaddon's sleeve in puzzlement.

In the sunlight, the black-haired youth smiled gently and peacefully.

"Because of the moon." He said, "We are all instructed by the moon along the way, and there are many metaphors and symbols about the moon in the decoration in the palace, such as the moon goddess, the people on the moon——— just on the wall That huge embroidered rug is telling the legend of 'The Man in the Moon'."

"So...you think there will be something under this detector?" Sisley asked.

"Of course." She was rubbed on the head by another self, and heard the other party's gentle voice, "Although it's just an attempt."

In the light screen, the thing finally rose slowly to a place that could be seen by human eyes. Before it completely touched the air, Abaddon hurriedly put it into a special box.

Compared with the other books, this secretly hidden book is much older, and there are large inlaid gemstones on it, and the gold and silver threads embroidered on it have become quite dull, but it still has a solemn and sacred beauty .

"Did you find anything?"

Yogel over there was holding a book, and moved to Abaddon with his hands behind his back.

Abaddon put the transparent box on the table, and the little prince leaned over to read the words on the cover curiously.

"It's a bit like the language of my country..." He squinted his eyes and whispered, "Some places are not quite similar, but I still know one word."

"What's written on it?" Abaddon asked urgently from the camera.

The little prince frowned quickly, having lived with him for a week, Sisleys all knew what this expression meant—it meant that he was puzzled.

"origin."

Yogel said blankly.
