Chapter 22: Pear Blossom Lantern Festival (4)
This realization is like a stone thrown into the water, and the ripples completely break the joyful and peaceful scene in front of you.
She just felt that everything felt very unnatural.
False attempts to disguise reality are like seeing puppets that look too human, giving people goosebumps.
Liu Sheng took a deep breath, and the soul-fixing pendant around her waist exuded bursts of fresh air to prevent her from having any further distortions in her thinking.
Looking closer, I saw that the lanterns on the street were all strangely shaped, as if they were crudely made by a child who didn't know how to make lanterns. The fish didn't look like fish, the rabbit didn't look like rabbit, and they didn't look like they were made of the gauze usually used to make lanterns. Or made of oil paper, more like it was made by directly poking bamboo and wooden strips into some kind of flesh-colored leather and stretching it out, with blood streaks on it.
Liu Sheng walked and watched.
The stalls on both sides of the street are no longer selling those fragrant and sweet things. Some are selling the organs of unknown animals, dripping with blood; They were filled with these glaring "eyed gourds"; the stall selling mutton soup was still cooking something, but when the stall owner stirred it with a large spoon, he could see the shapes of human hands and feet.
People on the street are carrying all kinds of ugly and weird lanterns, and there are quite a few who are carrying lanterns with human heads like the child just now.
The hands and feet of the acrobatic performer were a little twisted, and he didn't even notice that he broke a bone when he twisted his foot over his head.
The dragon and lion dances were even more outrageous. I don’t know how many people were stuffed under the thin blood-stained cover. The feet underneath were messy and stumbling. There were bulges inside the body. From time to time, heads would fall off and half of the intestines would come out.
It really has no aesthetics at all, Little Tentacle complained to Liu Sheng.
Liu Sheng was speechless, do you think you look good with your smooth black tentacles?
Moreover, the biggest flaw just now is that there is no face of the Supreme God in the sky, but just now even Liu Sheng subconsciously ignored this completely impossible thing.
You must know that in this world, even if you can’t see the stars or the moon, there is still no face in the sky!
Liu Sheng still doesn't know whether she was able to get out of the confusion so quickly because of her super toughness.
For example, Fu Ze and Song Haiyin are still deeply trapped in hallucinations.
Liu Sheng walked carefully, trying not to touch or talk to the people on the street.
After all, she already knew that these were not living people.
The feeling of being followed everywhere became stronger, and the malice was clearly felt.
"Girl, do you want to guess lantern riddles? I'll give you a penny once you guess it, and I'll give you a lamp. The lamp I made is very beautiful."
Suddenly, I heard a weak voice coming from the side, He doesn't sound very confident.
Liu Sheng originally wanted to ignore this person, but was attracted by the last sentence.
She is good at everything, but her biggest problem is her curiosity.
She wanted to see how beautiful this lamp was.
When I looked at it, my eyes were a little bit irritated. I feel that everyone likes the splicing style.
There is a mermaid lantern, but it is not a human body with a fish tail, but a fish head and a human body. It should be called a mermaid lantern.
There is also a rabbit lantern with a horse body and a rabbit head, and a miserable green vine lantern with eyes...
Seeing the vine lantern, Liu Sheng felt that the "eyes" of the small tentacles lit up. .
Want, want, want, want...
Liu Sheng was a little helpless. Now this little tentacle said she was her "mother", but she felt like she was taking care of a baby. She was clearly the "mother".
No, she doesn’t want to be its mother either.
In short, "Mom" wants it and will make trouble if she doesn't give it.
Liu Sheng had no choice but to take out a penny and give it to the boss, and read the note on the ugly lantern carefully.
【Need half, leave half. 】
Liu Sheng thought for a while. After all, she was a top student. How could she be defeated by this crossword puzzle?
So, she took out "The World" from her storage bag.
Open and enter:
"There is a lantern riddle: half is needed, half is left. What is the answer?"
[It is the word "Thunder". 】
"It's the word 'Thunder'."
Liu Sheng raised his head and answered confidently, then pointed at the ugly lantern, the meaning was self-evident.
The stall owner was still a little confused and didn’t understand what the man in front of him was holding out. How could he get the answer right?
But the answer was indeed correct, and it had never seen anyone answer so quickly. Many people could only twist their heads off in silence.
It blankly took off the vine lamp and handed it to Liu Sheng.
The little tentacles excitedly took over the ugly lamp and swung it around. Those dense eyes seemed to be blinking in the swaying light of the fire.
Even uglier.
Liu Sheng was very disgusted.
But she noticed that since she picked up the lantern, the noise on the street had fallen silent, and the twisted darkness seemed much quieter. A few steps forward, there is another quiz booth.
"Girl, do you want to guess a riddle?"
"Yes."
Liu Sheng was determined to verify and agreed.
She chose a lantern that was less bloody and continued to do the same, letting "the world" answer the question.
The greatest advantage of human beings is that they are good at using tools. Liu Sheng does not feel embarrassed at all.
There is no need to use foreign aid for nothing!
Then, I brought up an ugly lamp.
It's a pity that this ugly lamp is not "mother's" dish, so Liu Sheng can only hold it by herself.
There are many fewer stalls on the street.
Continuing, we saw another crossword puzzle stall.
Continue to harvest an ugly lamp.
The strange thing is that no one else seems to visit these stalls except her.
However, Liu Sheng didn’t want to crowd around with these “people”.
But she didn't even see Fu Ze or Song Haiyin.
Not to mention Wang Dongdong, whom she has been thinking about.
However, Liu Sheng couldn't care less now.
Her evil aura detector told her that she was walking towards the place where the evil aura was strongest.
Liu Sheng just walked forward, guessing riddles and getting the lamp, guessing riddles and getting the lamp.
There are fewer and fewer stalls around him, the streets are getting quieter and quieter, and those acrobatic lion dance performances have gradually faded away...
Gradually, Liu Sheng can only see people a few meters away. A lantern riddle guessing stall, and a little further away is endless darkness.
The pear blossoms still blew down and the sky and the ground were covered with snow-white color, adding a sense of emptiness to the dark and quiet streets with only a solitary lamp left.
Liu Sheng held at least a dozen lanterns in his hand, each with its own ugliness.
A meter-long, wrist-thick black tentacle behind him stretched out from nowhere, playing with a vine lamp that had long been extinguished.
At this time, the red color indicated on the strange energy detector was getting thicker and thicker, and was now a sinister red color.
It is estimated that the center of the strangeness is close at hand.
"Girl, do you want to guess lantern riddles?"
The stall owner's voice was very familiar, and his appearance was also very familiar.
Liu Sheng's calm and indifferent face finally showed a hint of shock.
It’s Wang Dongdong’s good sister Yue Shan!
She had played with Wang Dongdong and had dinner with them several times before. Although she was a little face-blind, she still recognized Yue Shan. After all, she was quite good-looking.
However, at this time, Yue Shan was no longer the bright and charming girl. Now her face was stiff and livid, half of her face had skin peeled off, one eyeball fell out, and her pink and flowery lips were torn to the earlobe. Below, maintain the sunniest smile.
And you can smell the strong rotten smell emanating from her through the lantern stand.
"Guess..." Liu Sheng lamented in his heart.
I wonder how Wang Dongdong is doing.
While she was thinking, she took out a penny and put it in front of Yue Shan, and then carefully picked it among the lamps.
After choosing for a long time, I really couldn’t see anything more exciting than the lantern in her hand.
After this journey, Liu Sheng was a little tired of looking at ugliness.
Suddenly an idea flashed, and he pointed at Yue Shan and said, "I want your lamp."
Although Yue Shan was surprised, her stiff face could no longer be made. Surprised expression.
“Are you sure?”
"Sure."
"Then the question comes."
"Guess what 'I' is?"
The corners of "Yue Shan"'s cracked mouth Upturned, the malice was so strong that it was about to overflow.
