What character did you drop

◎At first, he just wanted to have a family. ◎

No matter how hard the mayor of Hei Xiong or the director of Hei Su Diao struggled to resist, the spirits and emotions of the townspeople in Dessert Town had already been quarreled, and they were also aroused by the previous words of derogation and oppression.

Frankly speaking, everyone loves Dessert Town very much. Even though there are many rules, sometimes they are indeed embarrassed by certain requirements and restrictions, but as long as it is for the good of the town, who would say otherwise?

Now I just want to seek peace of mind, know the root cause, why should I be accused?And even if the rules are said to be broken...but whose rules are so bad?

──If there are really gods in the dessert town, if the rainbow really favors them, the townspeople don’t even need to ask, they should have manifested and told them the answer when they found out that everyone has questions, right?

They were so pious in the past, and they donated a lot of money and sacrifices every year, and also generated countless income for the dessert town. Isn't it enough to receive preferential treatment?

"Look, see if you can understand."

Ever since Dr. Apiye's identity was exposed by Avanti, the expression on his face has not brightened.

Not only that, even Grandpa Turtle and the others who knew the inside story looked terribly stinky when they looked at Dr. Appie.

In the past, everyone was still a close partner, especially "Doctor Appie" who provided a lot of professional assistance, so that the management of the dessert town can run more smoothly.

However, when encountering setbacks and problems and really needing everyone to work together, I finally discovered that the people around me had already stepped on everyone's heads to climb high branches...

How can this not make people feel angry?

"That is, no one at the scene can understand better than you. This can 'replace' both the shell and the inner core!"

Hearing the words of Dr. Appie, the director of Hei Su Diao couldn't help but sarcastically, his light brown eyes flashed with ridicule, as if he planned to take this opportunity to end their relationship with Dr. Appie. Clear boundaries.

"I don't know if Ms. Taylor died after going out with you, is it because she discovered something she shouldn't know?"

"Okay, okay, why are you talking so much to him?"

Grandpa Tortoise tried his best to quarrel with other townspeople in front of him, but he didn't expect to win the quarrel, and was even blushed sarcastically.

Now hearing that they failed to negotiate how to deal with it, and there was internal strife again, I suddenly had a headache and was upset, and I didn't know what would be found by those ignorant guys on the second floor.

"Hurry up and move, what are you still doing? If the master uses this to say that we are not dedicated and punished, then we will be in big trouble."

Hearing what the tortoise principal said, even Dr. Apiye's face changed when he heard it, and everyone was panicked.

──The townspeople may not know the danger here, but Mayor Black Bear and the others know it, and have even seen it with their own eyes.

Even if the gods seem to have no time to do anything now, or are not aware of anything...

But when the townspeople really touched the point that the gods cared about, no matter they were asleep or not, they would rush over immediately and unleash their wrath and punishment.

"Well, it's strange to say that if you didn't say that there is a second floor, you wouldn't have noticed that the structure of our power plant is so strange just by looking in from the outside."

Some people were disturbed by imagination in the distance, while others were rummaging and exploring this mysterious power plant like a fantasy adventure.

In the beginning, they couldn't find the stairs leading to the second floor. It was Lilith, who was a red fox, who found it with her keen sense of smell.

Moreover, the staircase was actually at the corner that everyone had gone around several times before, but it was not pointed out, and no one could find it.

"Besides, there are obviously so many people working in the power plant in our town, why haven't I heard that they think it's strange here?"

"You are stupid, don't you look at who can be selected to work here? Aren't they all relatives and friends of Mayor Heixiong and the others?"

"Even if something is wrong, it's too late for those guys to help hide it, so how can they tell it?"

The townspeople of Dessert Town used to have a good relationship, but perhaps because of the experience of "adventure" and "challenge" together, the relationship between talking and fighting is far better than before.

Also more casual.

Especially in the choice of words, there is no such cautious feeling in the past, and it seems more and more casual.

"...It's okay, I'd like to know how that Shao Hui's friend got into the power plant and got killed."

With the weakening of the control ability of the mayor of Black Bear and others over the dessert town, everyone seems to be slowly recovering, along with the memories that were confused or erased before.

The footsteps of 'da da da' were so smooth and neat that people couldn't tell that this was the interior decoration of the power plant, which made everyone's footsteps hesitant.

It's so clean, it's like a sample house, neat and without the slightest dust, so quiet that people can't tell whether this is an industrial working environment, or is there some space-time magic that freezes this space?

Moreover, the setting of the second floor of the power plant is very different from that of the first floor, and it seems to be more like a specially ordered place.

Counting the silver brick cracks on the ground, like a vertical nest, there are towering pipes, and a light green liquid is also flowing inside.

"There seems to be something in these tubes."

Someone came over boldly, pointed to the floating, sinking, large or small black spots, frowned, and said thoughtfully to others:

"That's why Dr. Appie said it was a nutrient solution. Could it be that he meant it seriously? What kind of things are the little black spots in it? They need to be raised by that liquid?"

──It’s not likely to be the townspeople who will appear in their dessert town next, right?That would be too disgusting.

──Even if not everyone is born of their parents, they should still be... bestowed by the gods...

?

"It should be what you guessed."

Avanti glanced at the inside of the tube silently, the little black dots that seemed to be shaking a little because someone was approaching, sensed the 'life force' in it, and tried not to remind them what they were looking at...

Then try to remember according to the location of the last night visit to the power plant, and think about where Shao Hui's friends left the engraving.

◆

The second floor of the power plant is arranged in the shape of 'back' according to the pillars filled with light green liquid.

The director of Hei Su Diao did not know when he had quietly stepped out of the first floor and followed the team, although some people at the end of the team were still afraid of him, and the latter often made strange voices...

──But after thinking about it, everyone feels that even if there is no breakthrough this time, the dessert town will never be the same as before.

──The true colors of these people have also been seen thoroughly. As long as the strength is united, there is really no need to be so afraid of the director of the black millet carving.

What's more, Avanti is still ahead, if the director of Hei Su Diao and the others dare to mess with everyone here, surely he will not sit idly by!

"Hehe...you will regret it!" Seeing that his previous intimidation has turned into Waterloo, and even many people have dared to meet his eyes, the director of Hei Su Diao was so angry that his wings would explode flowers.

The master has not made a statement for a long time. Looking at the past, there is absolutely no other possibility except holding back the big move.

The director of the Black Millet Carving Factory didn't want to be held back at all, but this stinky boy, Afanti, was still unwilling to compromise with them.

──Why don’t these people think about it carefully, the dessert town has developed to such a degree, and the middle cost is so expensive, shouldn’t everyone repay this place while enjoying it?

"Nanning would like to talk about how the power plant works. So many people are hired to work in the power plant, and what is the content of the daily work?"

Ever since the fog covering the front was lifted, everyone's reactions became quicker one after another.

The details that were not noticed before are gradually restored in repeated thinking again and again, so they are raised and questioned.

"I see that the sons and sons-in-law of the mayor of Heixiong are all thick and round. I guess they didn't do anything, did they? They just came over at some point and got stuck going home."

"I want to ask if I regret it or not?"

"I only regret, why did I obey the arrangement so obediently and take charge of the garbage collection, dirty and tired every day, and the little bastards don't want to get close to me when I go home!"

"That's right, my family looks at the store every day, and I have to unload the goods on the shelves, and I have to take care of several stalls at the same time. Isn't this all arranged? And then I pay a lot of taxes!"

"I don't know where all the money has been collected? It's uncomfortable. We didn't think about it in the past. Now it's okay to ask politely, right?"

Mayor Heixiong has been restless since the festival that day. He managed to deal with these thorny memories, thinking that there should be no major problems, but in just a few days, things turned upside down.

Just now, the director of the black millet carving factory was questioned by everyone as the main target. The mayor of Heixiong still thought that he could escape for the time being, so that everyone would not "whip the corpse" out.

In the end, I didn't expect that I couldn't escape this encounter in the end, and I still talked about such things. I immediately lowered my head depressedly, thinking repeatedly in my heart whether I could find a way to divert everyone's attention to other places.

The tortoise principal didn't notice Mayor Black Bear's thoughts, he slowly landed at the end of the line, walked with Doctor Appie with gloomy eyes, after a long while, he suddenly spoke—

"If you are a false god, then what is your purpose in killing Ms. Taylor and replacing Dr. Appier?"

This person refused to answer this question from the very beginning, but he didn't refute Avanti's words, which made people wonder if there was any secret that was related to the survival of the dessert town?

Dessert Town is indeed a very good place. When there is no change like today, it is a treasure land, and it can also allow the gods to develop faith, be pious, and provide countless benefits in exchange for shelter.

But if this person is a false god, could it be that he came here to grab the benefits of these tributes?But how to 'grab' that kind of illusory thing?

──Relying on Avanti?That would be too funny!

"Then why did you stay in the dessert town?"

Doctor Apiye just wanted to see what Avanti wanted to do, but it didn't mean he was interested in talking about these things with Grandpa Turtle.

...Besides, the other party doesn't have the knowledge to understand it.

"But let me tell you the truth, my thoughts and considerations probably won't be in the same direction as yours. Your master may not offend me either."

"Isn't it because I want to protect the peace of the dessert town? The old man has lived here for most of his life, and he really wants to spend the rest of his life in peace."

Grandpa Turtle didn't think so, shook his head, sighed slightly and said:

"This place...is built by us bit by bit. Some people live their lives dreamily and innocently, knowing nothing and being happy."

"Even if some people have doubts in their hearts, with a little guidance, they can forget the sadness and bitterness in their hearts, and they can live happily in the small town until they return to the embrace of the gods. It's not bad."

──Of course, the risk of this kind of operation is not low, and not everyone voluntarily forgets it.In the beginning, when they selected the residents of the dessert town, they also experienced a lot of hardships. It was not until many years later that the current rules and regulations came into being.

"The price of exchanging terms with Lord God is not small, but no matter how many times I review or think about it, I will not regret it, and I will not think that my idea is wrong."

"If someone stretched out such a hand to me back then, I'm afraid I would desperately want to live in the dessert town, right?"

"...It's easy to feel free without worrying, but if there is no worry at all, life is actually very boring."

Dr. Appie looked at the memory of Mr. Xueling Rabbit, turned his head slightly and thought for a while, then imitated the other party's emotions, and said to Mr. Turtle:

"Even if the dessert town hopes that everyone will not have negative emotions, it's like a meal that needs ups and downs as condiments. Otherwise, the same taste will make people feel less interesting after eating for a long time, right?"

"Hehe, no wonder... But anyway, when we were negotiating with the gods, we made an agreement—not only are people in the dessert town not allowed to have negative emotions, we also have to find a way to eliminate everyone's attachments and Those emotions in the subconscious."

Grandpa Turtle looked straight at Avanti and the others in front of him, and tapped the ground with the cane in his hand.

Those who obey Him prosper, those who oppose Him perish.

"Sometimes Lord God is very generous, and sometimes he has a bad temper..."

"If you are stealthily taking advantage of the body of the Lord God's people when he is not paying attention, I suggest that you best return the body quickly... Otherwise, you will be swallowed by them. "

Avanti and the others in the front didn't know that there would be such a conversation later.

The second floor of the power plant is not so much a power plant as it is a fairly complete laboratory.

Everyone searched around and around, but still failed to find the notches that Avanti mentioned. Instead, they found several hidden corpses, and many researches that were all ghost symbols and could only be speculated by guesswork. Report.

Among them, the thing that attracts the most attention from the power plant and makes the director of Heishu Diao feel restless, also includes the research on the light green liquid...

"This, this is the result of cultivating from corpses and some mushrooms, and then extracting them?"

Forgive Teacher Lilith, who was only a liberal arts student at the beginning, and was completely blind to such research-related things. No matter how I looked at it, I could read every word, but when it was time to get together, I couldn't understand anything.

"This sounds terrible. What do you want to do with these things with corpses? What kind of weird things can you really raise smoothly!"

"Speaking of it, is this like if we usually only eat one thing, the body's nutrition is uneven, so we plan to force these things to keep everyone healthy?"

"...But don't look at me, I'm just talking and guessing, I'm disgusted too, okay!"

Some townspeople looked around and around the second floor of the power plant curiously, and said casually:

"Besides, if these things are really what Dr. Appier said, our bodies usually need them...then I'm afraid we are like firewood, first cultivated by dying, and then metabolized by the body and rejuvenated , so you can 'reborn' again, and then become a part of the dessert town?"

"That's the case. Wouldn't it be better if you have something to say directly? Why do you have to keep us in the dark?"

"Besides, this is a corpse, okay? Even if it has to be used, can't each family use the ancestors of each family?"

Seeing that everyone was about to quarrel again, Afanti blinked, and there was a sudden 'click' under his feet, which made everyone stop talking and look over slowly.

"Hmm... maybe found it?"

Avanti himself is not too sure, this is a more secluded corner on the second floor, there is no pipe around, judging from the direction, it is the power plant facing the river valley under the rainbow.

But if you take a closer look, Avanti does feel a little familiar... You Qi waited for someone to squat down and grope around with his eyes closed according to the posture of the first night inspection of the power plant, and it really made him feel something. thing.

"Here, it seems to be a small niche?"

Seeing this, Lilith quickly squatted down, rubbed herself next to Avanti, relying on the softness of her body, she simply stuck her head into the place where Avanti's little claws were deep.

──It is a rather inconspicuous corner, but there is a rather hidden groove at the base of the wall.

──The small shrine that Avanti groped for was not on the ground, but carved on the top of the groove. If Lilith hadn't boldly probed in, she would not have discovered the specialness of this place.

"Be careful, can you see what is engraved on this shrine?"

Avanti was startled by Lilith's action and broke into a cold sweat, but looked at the other people in the dessert town out of the corner of his eye, and Avanti suspected that only the "book wearer" could see this.

Of course, the number of hyphae in Lilith's body and Avanti's time travel as the author seem to be confused with this.

"That... seems to be a pair of hands, right? He still holds the tools for carving puppets in his hands. It should be a master related to dolls, right?"

Lilith felt that her knowledge was still too little. She had tried hard to identify it, but she was really not sure if it was a puppeteer, a puppeteer, or a related profession?

"Huh? Dollmaker? What's that?"

"Manipulating dolls? Or making dolls? Is this thing the same as a doll?"

"I don't know, wow, I haven't been in contact with it. Is there anyone who knows better and can tell us?"

When the residents of Dessert Town heard what Lilith said, they immediately looked at each other with puzzled expressions.

Judging from the words, this profession should be quite popular with children, but looking back seriously, it seems that there has never been such a profession in the dessert town?

... Is there any mystery here?

──Unnoticed by the residents of the dessert town, the expressions of the Mayor Black Bear, the Headmaster Turtle, the Director of the Black Millet Carving Plant, and Doctor Appie all changed.

It's normal for other people not to know the reason, but they know the origin of Dessert Town too well, how can they not know what Lilith is describing?

It's just that even they who have been managing and entering and leaving this place for many years have never known that there is such a place in the power plant...

How did the tourists and friends of Shao Hui know about this corner?And what was the purpose of the townspeople who were the man's tour guide to bring him here?

"Interesting, from the looks of you guys, it seems like you don't know either."

Afanti noticed that these people's reactions were not quite right, knowing that there was a high probability that they would not be able to find out why, so she could only ask Lilith to make room and squat over to watch by herself.

It was a pair of hands that had been severed at the same time, and blood was still flowing clearly on the pattern, but those hands ignored the pain, and were still carrying coils of thread, carving knives and tools, making dolls one after another.

Surrounding the central pattern are black millet carvings, tortoises, black bears, golden-tailed monkeys, rabbits, cats, dogs and other animals... Take a closer look, this seems to be the most important townsman in the dessert town species.

[Eh hee hee, baby is not good, how can you look at me? 】

[Hide and seek with me, I will change your head today. 】

[Little baby, little baby, become a family with me! 】

Just as Avanti touched the small alcove, a small song sung by countless voices wafted in the dessert town.

Some are high and some are low, some are remote and some are terrifying, which makes people get goosebumps and scalp hairs...

Immediately afterwards, countless flaming figurines bounced down from the sky, opened the window of the power plant, and came in laughingly, meeting everyone face to face for the first time in broad daylight.

【I'm lonely, you're lonely, blink when you're done carving a doll. 】

[Singing, dancing, and dancing is so much fun, never give up and be a plaything! Be a plaything! 】

"Once upon a time, there was a doll maker who was loved and feared by everyone because the dolls he made were too lifelike."

"However, no matter what method is used, the puppeteer can't stop himself from making the puppet. Even if he doesn't give materials, he will dig his own body as a medium for the doll to create..."

"So everyone came up with a way to cut off his hands so that he can no longer be a doll..."

"As everyone knows, the lonely puppeteer endowed his hands with activity, so he can continue to do it without stopping and without feeling tired, and even made a world along the way, so that the dolls can come alive and accompany him forever. …”

The little Pyro is close to everyone, blinking, looking innocent and evil.

They are very lonely, and they also like everyone very much, but the townspeople who are approached are unconsciously infected with flames, and they become a raging fire in an instant!

"Hey, so I said why bother you?"

Grandpa Turtle sighed, looked at the townspeople in pain with pity, then turned to Avanti and said coldly:

"Now, are you satisfied?"
