Human dimension reduction

The earl's castle has been designed by an artist, and every inch of land is properly planted with the most suitable flowers. These abundant, rich, or beautiful flowers will show the most beautiful appearance under different lighting conditions, just like the pictures. Carefully painted works.

The bride in a gorgeous and expensive wedding dress is holding up the hem of the skirt, walking happily among the porcelain roses, occasionally turning slightly, and looking down at the hem of her skirt to draw a big circle on the ground, so that the edge of the hem of the skirt is embellished with unnecessary Extinguish the flame, and then watch the wind brought by the skirt suppress the flame, and then stubbornly bloom again.

She watched the flames grow and shrink, and was almost fascinated. Like an innocent little girl, she used the rotating skirt to stir up this dangerous thing. In the changing light and shadow, the stains on her white gauze The blood stains also took on strange shades, like scribbled and frantic paintings.

The bride was born in poverty, and in a poor and closed village next to the city, a flower full of stars and the moon grew by chance. She learned early on to use her beauty to fight for her own interests, so later the Earl's Mansion said that they wanted to find a When the most beautiful girl was the countess, she boarded the luxurious carriage without hesitation.

After arriving at the Earl's Mansion, she realized that she had been cheated.

It turned out that she was not the only one who received the invitation. It turned out that there were other girls who were as good-looking as her in the world.

Damn, damn, damn!

The bride's complexion became gloomy because of the memories of the past, and a bit of ferocity appeared on her beautiful face.

but……

She raised her head, her well-shaped eyes narrowed slightly, and her soft and white hands brushed aside a strand of long black hair blowing into her mouth. Her movements were as gentle as a noble lady touching a fresh flower, elegant and reserved. , I can't see that she has such an embarrassing background at all.

She thought of the tall Earl, who stood condescendingly by the railing on the second floor as if he was picking pork, staring critically at the girls gathered in a pile below, that look made her feel displeased and disgusted from the bottom of her heart.

No one had ever seen her like this.

Her youth, beauty, intelligence, and those bargaining chips that made her invincible in the isolated countryside seemed to have become something worth mentioning in an instant, being quantified, weighed, and evaluated in an ordinary way.

That look was exactly the same as the one she used to look at the men chasing after her.

The scarlet bride stepped on slender high-heeled shoes, straightened her back proudly, and jumped briskly forward in this unique city.

The turbulent mood that was turbulent because of thinking of the earl's eyes quickly calmed down. She looked at the windows on both sides of the street that had not been completely destroyed, and her eyes stayed for a moment on a large vase behind the glass window.

This is a large vase as tall as a person, with a thin neck and a big belly. It is a masterpiece that came from the east across the ocean. It is painted in pink and hand-painted with various flowery and exaggerated patterns. The wealth is indescribable.

The bride approached the porcelain that was as smooth as a young girl's skin, and rubbed the bottle with her index finger, as if she was in love with her aftertaste.

Such a large vase was a luxury she had never seen when she was at home. She didn't even know that different colors and varieties of flowers needed different vases to match, and some vases were not used to hold flowers at all. They are placed in the doorway, just to decorate the surrounding scenery - such as this large vase.

There is also a vase like this in the earl's study. She hid behind the bookshelf and saw the earl saw off a girl's waist with a chainsaw. Then the earl hugged the girl's upper body and inserted it in the vase like a flower arrangement. Inside, the flesh and bones of the human body fit perfectly into the petal-shaped opening of the porcelain, and were firmly placed on it.

The count wiped away the blood on the girl's skin with silk, combed her hair again, netted the loose strands of hair with a pearl hairnet, put on a white and clean long skirt, and posed.

The girl in the vase has her eyes closed, and her slender and soft hands are gently resting on the edge of the vase, just like a bride standing there with her skirt held up dignifiedly, waiting for the painter to leave the most beautiful moment in her life for her.

Thinking of this, the bride showed a trace of unbearable disgust on her face. The vase didn't seem to be so beautiful anymore. She exerted a little force with her fingers, and the priceless and expensive porcelain fell backwards. It fell to the ground and shattered into a pile of colorful tiles.

The deserted city was empty and desolate. She walked for more than half an hour, found a coffee shop that was still intact, sat down, straightened the wrinkled skirt corners, made herself look elegant and charming, and then began to wait quietly.

wait for what?She doesn't know either.

But she made an agreement with that group of people, as long as she is here and kills all the intruders—her kind—those people told her so, she will be able to obtain ownership of the city, and have more than the countess. A nobler status, a freer life.

Compared to a dark and damp castle where so many people died, of course she prefers a city blessed with sunshine and rain.

Anyway, as long as she kills all the living things she sees like in the castle, this is something she is familiar with.

After waiting for a few hours, she was a little bored, but she was still able to hold her breath, but she began to regret a little bit. She knew that she should have brought the Earl here to accompany her. After the wedding, he became a gentle, gentle and devoted man. Although it was a pity that he couldn't speak, she couldn't bear this little flaw.

The beautiful bride waited in the barren fire ruins of Porcelain Rose, and another group of people waited like her, but their anxiety was more urgent and difficult to conceal.

"Has the news been released?" Sitting in the temporarily requisitioned villa, a man with a big white beard and a square face frowned and stared at the big screen.

He was wearing a bald eagle military uniform, but he deliberately took off all the military rank marks. The technician sitting in front of the screen and moving his fingers quickly tightened his nerves: "It has been released, and all available accounts have been mobilized. Huaxia, which has the strictest network control, also has related news on their news hot list, as long as the target lives in a modern city, he will definitely receive this information."

Not far away, the administrative official who was once pushed to the front of the stage as the spokesperson of the Paris black hole incident turned blue. He was targeted afterward because he boldly sought the help of the arbitral tribunal and the parliament in the live news. The country headed by Huaxia implicitly stated that Gaul should "systematically train the ability of government officials to solve problems", while the Bald Eagle side was more straightforward, saying directly to the president who had escaped from death that "do this on behalf of human beings." The White House should be consulted before making a decision."

Some people think that his decisive decision avoided the end of the full fall of Paris, while some people think that his actions are too reckless...

In short, he is now in a very embarrassing situation. On the surface, as the representative who solved the black hole in Paris, he was not dismissed and investigated.

So when Bald Eagle approached him to discuss cooperation, he agreed to their plan without much hesitation.

only……

He took out a crumpled handkerchief from his pocket, and wiped it vigorously on his sweaty forehead. A month ago, it could be regarded as Yushu Linfeng's face, but now it is too haggard to look at.

He is not a fool. The Bald Eagle's current plan is obviously to use him as a shield. On the one hand, it releases news, and in his name promises to donate the right to use the porcelain rose to the arbitration tribunal and parliament that resolved the incident. On the other hand, I stuffed s001 into the porcelain rose again. If they were all killed, it would be okay, but what if the arbitral tribunal and the parliament survived?

Who else would be unlucky in the end but him?

Besides, giving away the right to use land in Gaul is no different from treason. Even if the Bald Eagle is only spreading news in the name of "gossip", he will definitely not be able to escape being liquidated.

He can only rejoice that Gaul, as a country that advocates humanitarianism, has abolished the death penalty a long time ago. Then he can use money to operate it, hire a lawyer who is good enough, and he can get a commutation of sentence. Maybe he will be able to come out after two years of imprisonment. If you get some sickness and get medical parole, maybe you don't have to go to jail...

He wiped his forehead vigorously again, trying to think of the names of lawyers who were good at this aspect of legal defense.

A group of people were waiting in the villa, one actor had already appeared on stage, and when the other actor appeared, the show could begin.

It's just that another actor whom they are looking forward to...

I didn't see this overwhelming news that was deliberately spread at all.

Qiao Zhou was hired to the capital as a temporary consultant. After the black hole in Kyoto, Japan was resolved, he was supposed to return to Dongcheng. Even experts in criminal investigation were dispatched to conduct a comprehensive analysis of Qiao Zhou, but they couldn't find any clues at all. They can only regretfully admit that even if there is a connection between them, they cannot grasp it at present.

Either the connection between them is deep enough to depend on life and death, for which the crazy doctor will go to great lengths to erase traces to protect Qiao Zhou, or they just met by chance, and the time they were captured was just a whim of the crazy doctor .

It was none of Qiao Zhou's business that they were arguing in private, and he was transferred to the psychiatric department of Capital Medical University—at least they still remembered that he was a mental patient who needed regular treatment.

Different from the relaxed environment in Dongcheng, the management of patients here will be stricter. Qiao Zhou was confiscated from the communication equipment as soon as he was admitted to the hospital. He can only get his mobile phone back for three hours a day. The rest of the time, he needs to communicate with the outside world through the ward. In addition to the landline, the TV and books in the room are all available, which is not boring.

Qiao Zhou's dependence on mobile phones is much lower than that of ordinary people. He does not have a social circle that needs to be maintained for a long time. After asking the doctor to buy him some professional books, he simply nests in his room and becomes a bookworm. The monstrous torrents of the flood did not enter his ears at all.

After waiting for three days, the bride in the blood-red wedding dress in the porcelain rose came to the edge of the city with a gloomy face. She raised her smooth and beautiful face and asked the correspondent who stayed outside coldly: "Are you kidding me? never came in."

The liaison officer squeezed the walkie-talkie, sweating profusely, and stammered trying to explain, but the other party was unwilling to listen any longer: "I've had enough of your lies, I'll give you one last day."

She raised her round arm wearing lace gloves, a silver cold light flashed in the palm, and the sharp fork shot out like an arrow through the wind, piercing the liaison officer's brow, freezing his expression in horror and dazed.

"It's interest."

The glamorous bride sneered at the video interface behind him.

"Oh my god... You brought it here, are there any protective measures?!" The chief executive of Gaul asked in horror, "It's provocative!"

"Yes, we have all seen it, Mr. Dubois." The soldier who took off his collar badge turned his head with a peaceful and stable expression.

"Don't worry, we are fully prepared, have you seen that gentleman?" He pointed to a closed door on the second floor, "He is our trump card, even if it is a monster, we must be there Whip and axe, but we can't use it lightly. Now, let it take the little girl's tantrum."

The man felt a chill creeping up his tailbone.

He called s001's act of killing someone casually a "little girl losing her temper"?

Damn, what kind of people is he talking about cooperation with?

The news about the transfer of the right to use porcelain roses posted on the Internet has reached a climax, and everyone is deliberately pushing to start talking about it. Even in China, which is thousands of miles away from Gaul, most people probably spend their entire lives talking about it. I would not go here, even when I heard about this place for the first time, I talked about it with great interest.

Thus, Qiao Zhou, who was living an ascetic life in the hospital, finally heard the news.

"The right to use the porcelain rose?"

He frowned, searched his memory, and was sure he'd never heard of it when he was in Paris.

It was the first time I heard that someone was so unresponsive, and it took a long time after the matter was over to remember to pay.

But he is not interested in porcelain roses. What can he use such a large piece of land for?

After thinking for a while, Qiao Zhou felt that it was very boring. He opened the book again and lowered his head. The comments on the phone were still scrolling up one by one. After swiping through pictures one by one, Qiao Zhou's eyes were suddenly attracted by one of the pictures.

That picture was obviously cut from the news broadcast in Gaul. It was somewhat blurred after repeated reposts, but you can basically see the appearance of the porcelain rose decorated with flames. A figure walked among them. She was wearing a very recognizable wedding dress with a wide and elegant skirt, like a bride walking in her own auditorium.

The next picture is a processed and enlarged photo, the bride's face is circled, the comments below are all in a daze, I don't understand why a bride suddenly appeared here, and I don't understand what happened in the blocked porcelain rose Let people in again.

Qiao Zhou clicked on the picture and pondered for a long time.

He felt... This woman looked familiar.

It seems that a long time ago, in my hallucination, I saw her.

This kind of familiarity is not the first time, just as Lan Yin in the black hole of the magic city also appeared in his vision, some black holes broadcast on the news, such as the octopus monster with eyes all over his body, the sheep-headed butcher, etc. More or less, it seems that he has made a guest appearance or two in his not-so-long life.

This is nothing surprising, the whole world has bugs, and it is not worth making a fuss about interacting with other systems outside of the settings.

only……

Qiao Zhou turned off his phone a little tiredly. He really doesn't like being interrupted repeatedly in his daily life. When will that programmer with a terrible technical level be able to fix this terrible bug?

When he had this idea, the bride who was walking safely in the porcelain rose suddenly felt a great fear for no reason. She turned her head suddenly, and turned her head 180 degrees because of too much force, but there was no abnormality before and after. , as if the chill just now was her own illusion.

This is impossible... definitely not her illusion!

Just now...something must be staring at her!

It was like the earl slowly putting his face on the eye hole of the knight's armor, and showing a bloody smile to her who was hiding inside. The fear of being watched completely overwhelmed the courage of resistance, making her instantly like It was back to the thunderstorm night, back to the cold and chilling old castle.

No, no, there is nothing to be afraid of. Didn’t the Earl also become a well-behaved puppet beside her bed? He will no longer pick up an ax and chase after her. Dance lightly, and they will no longer push her back to attract the earl's attention. She is now strong, beautiful, and confident, and no one can threaten her.

She will soon have it all to herself.

But... that stare is too terrifying, too terrifying, she seems to be swallowed up soon, not only the flesh, blood, skin, but also the name, memory, and the past are all eaten away, and she becomes a walking one. Silhouette, a ghost.

The bride stood in the ruins for a while with her face twisted, and finally couldn't help screaming crazily.

Earl's Bride: ... Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh !
