When that terrifying scream came to an end. The man who was thrown into the wall also had his last finger bone swallowed by the demon. These people, under the leadership of the transparent person, left this channel that left a deep impression on magenta.
After walking for a while, a man appeared to stop everyone. "What did you do to my younger brother?"
"I really want to tell you there's still hope. Unfortunately, we watched as his last bone was swallowed by a hungry ghost before leaving," said one of the people behind the transparent person in a playful tone.
"Damn it!"
"Who the hell is that?" The transparent person spoke for the first time. "The reason why there are no laws in dungeons is that everyone has a different level of tolerance for things. Living in such a place, one must know how to restrain oneself before the other person's tolerance limit. If you exceed this limit and escalate a joke into a malicious insult, who do you think can admit to the harm again? This is the last place where you have no chance to repent!"
"Damn it! Da? Mo? Wang!"
Without any warning, the Great Demon King rushed forward and simply said, "Take action!" Mo Jian, who was standing in front of the magenta, pulled down his eye mask. A burst of colorful electric light ravaged the channel, causing every person standing in front of him to feel dizzy and dizzy. Almost everyone was lying weakly on the ground, and Mo Jiancai covered his eye mask again.
The only standing demon king cursed loudly, "Mo Jian, who asked you to open your eyes!"
"Didn't you say to start a fight? There was no specified or restricted method."
"At this time, there should be a tacit understanding to focus on a fixed target! Instead of sweeping around like you do."
"Got it, I'll find a way to remember next time."
"Don't do it again," the Great Demon King complained as he walked over to the man who had originally planned to attack him, looking down at the person still gasping for breath.
The uncompromising attitude is reflected in the fallen man, which is somewhat ironic. No matter how tough your temper is, facing an absolute gap in strength, it still doesn't make much sense. However, the element in magenta's heart that is more abundant now is called surprise, even shus next to them frown and look at everything.
"If you have the guts, just kill me!"
"I'm very happy," the Great Demon King responded to the other person's harsh words, just calmly answering and forcefully stomping on the head covered by the skull. The shocking effect caused by the overflowing brain is not inferior to the scene of starving ghosts and cannibalistic people I just witnessed. The churning stomach Magenta is planning to spit out the food eaten three days ago.
After shaking his feet, he caught a mixture of milky white and bright red, and the Great Demon King just glanced back. "Night Demon, deal with this thing on the ground."
"Oh!" The man who replied quickly jumped up from the ground as if nothing had happened. Throw the scattered and still recyclable parts onto the missing body and drag them away from the scene. Other people also gradually climbed up from the ground.
If it weren't for the brutality of the group of people in front of them, the professional rogues who forcefully beat his legs straight might have collapsed to the ground or let out a sharp cry. Now he can only obediently follow shu, at least he is the only human present who is not a resident of the dungeon. And shu just smiled and didn't turn around to leave. So magenta could only obediently accompany him, following behind the residents of the dungeon. In my mind, I am desperately thinking about how to handle things and end them as soon as possible.
However, the situation came to an end, and the residents of the dungeon were in a more peaceful mood, rather than their original murderous appearance. The whispers echoed everywhere, and the atmosphere became lively. The transparent person wearing a stone mask turned around and looked at the two of them, magenta and shu. "By the way, who are they? What are they doing here?"
Without waiting for others to speak, the nervous magenta immediately blurted out her thoughts in the simplest form: "We're here to find someone!"
"Who are you looking for? What does it look like?"
Suddenly asked a rhetorical question, magenta considered it for a while. "Mmm~Two eyes, one nose, one mouth..."
The person listening next to me was rewarded with a thrilling moment. "Don't say it if you don't know! There's someone who can talk who has two eyes, one nose, and one mouth."
When shu finished teaching magenta and turned around to explain it clearly, he saw the Great Demon King stopping to talk to a group of eye demons. The hairy and oversized eyeballs spoke extremely fluent and standard Mandarin, and as they left, they still waved their octopus like tentacles. shu looked at it for a while before changing its mind and said, "Hmm... there's a talking 'human' who doesn't have two eyes, one nose, and one mouth..."
"What did you just say?" repeated the Great Demon King, who had not heard clearly while talking to the eye demons. shu finally regained its senses and began to describe. "He has a pointed nose and a curled beard. But he just didn't take a fishing rod. Oh! And..."
"Forget it! Forget it! Hey! Play painting," the Great Demon King interrupted shu and called out to a woman beside him. "Go and draw the person he describes."
The designated woman nodded and walked to the side of shu. Magenta watched as she took out a shiny golden pen from her pocket filled with various paints. He has been constantly admiring various treasures since following the teacher, and this time he quickly recognized the valuable golden pen. Magic weapon - a magical treasure that can draw various patterns in the void. However, its attack capability is unknown, and it is said that it was only a work that the creators were inspired to create. It seems that this woman named Xihua is only named after the same magical weapon she holds.
Upon hearing shu instructed by the Great Demon King, he earnestly described what he knew to the storyteller. Magic weapons and theatrical paintings slowly depict a person's head in the void. As I walked through the painting, I carefully adjusted the patterns in the air based on the impression of shus.
"Mmm~The eyes are a little bigger... the mouth is not that wide, the chin needs to be sharper... the eyebrows should be thicker..."
As the portrait of a floating head in the air approaches completion, shu carefully scrutinizes it while supporting its chin. After watching for a while, I took out a portrait from my arms and compared it to others. "Hmm! That's right, that's almost what it looks like."
Before anyone could react, the painting had already made a sharp poke at shu with a pen. Loudly shouting unknown words, grabbing the portrait from shu in one hand, and wiping off the portrait in the air with a golden pen in the other. Suddenly, an urgent call came from not far away. shu murmured vaguely, "It was the Great Demon King who asked you to draw it.".
"The Great Demon King, the big thing is not going to happen!" A floating carriage pulled by an eight legged horse rushed to a stop in front of the transparent man, and the woman sitting in the carriage hurriedly jumped out of the car.
"What's up, Caitian?"
"The underground water flowing through the dungeon is malfunctioning at the magical embankment controlled on the 26th floor. The Fairy and Dwarf tribes are already taking emergency measures, but they are not yet fully staffed."
"Who led the guests down? Take them to the main hall. The others follow. Play and draw, lead the way!"
Upon hearing the instructions for the play, insert the portrait back into the embrace of shu. He ran to the side of the Great Demon King and drew a big door in the air with a golden pen. A group of people, except for Mo Jian and Mo Yan, all passed through the strange door that came out of thin air. When the door closes, the shadow of the door also disappears from the void. Only four people remained staring at the disappearance of the door.
"Two of you, please come with us," the residents of the dungeon coughed and called their attention back.
In the spacious hall of gold, there is only one woman waiting. Lying lazily on the central bunk, the graceful posture will make any normal man start to daydream.
"What's up?" A soft voice came from the bed. The woman propped herself up and looked at the disturbing party that disturbed her peace. A slightly bitter face, as if suffering from some kind of torture. Take out a cloth strip from your arms that is the same as Mo Jian and Mo Yan, tie up your hair while also covering your ears, and the expression on your face can be calmed down.
"Eleven Mom..."
"Come on, don't see. We used to walk together. Just call me Mo Wen as before." The woman gave a sweet smile and turned her head to look at the two of them, magenta and shu. shu standing in front has a majestic aura of a big man, but it is in stark contrast to the magenta hiding behind him, with its head and tail curled up. "Are you two...?"
"My name is shu, his name is Magenta." Despite dragging out the professional rogues hiding behind her, Magenta awkwardly waved and smiled. At the same time, shu handed the portrait to Mo Yan and passed it on to the woman in the center. "I'm here to find this man who came to break into the dungeon. I hope we can bring him back or retrieve a token."
"Is that all?" The woman frowned slightly and looked at shu with a meaningful expression. But I quickly put my doubts behind me, I just don't care about others' behavior. Looking at the figure in her hand and shaking the bell beside her, she handed the image to the waiter who followed her call. "Give this picture to someone who specializes in handling these affairs to have a look."
After taking the portrait, the waiter bowed and left.
"Please accept the reception from the dungeon first. I have given orders and we will have a result within about three days."
"Is that all!" Pinyin exclaimed in surprise, as if she didn't believe it would be so simple.
"What else should we do? Are you in a hurry? If you're in a hurry, I'll tell them to hurry up."
Faced with the woman's puzzled expression, Pinyin hurriedly replied. "No, I'm not. Am I saying that things can be handled so easily? Are you not asking for anything or obstructing something?"
I furrowed my brows slightly, flattened my mouth, and tilted my head to think desperately, but it seemed like I couldn't understand the meaning behind the magenta words. "Actually, things are not simple at all. We need to ask the scavengers at each level to see if they have dealt with similar corpses or captured similar humans recently. We also need to ask the dwarves because some of the stripped armor weapons are concentrated in their area. The most troublesome thing could be to ask Kikyu to see if he has swallowed it by Old Red. If someone we accidentally send to ask is likely to be swallowed by Old Red. Is there any other trouble?"
The obvious chicken talking with the duck, completely unable to communicate, the other party did not answer the key points they wanted to know. Magenta questioned her language ability with a bit of sadness and gave up the courage to continue questioning. Because of his innocent and serious demeanor, he always incorporated their actions into evil thoughts, which made him feel a strong sense of guilt.
A strong and powerful hand rested on his shoulder. Looking back at the expression on shu, magenta realized that accepting all kindness well is a better way at this stage. There's really a problem, let's talk about it later.
Under the warm smile, magenta and shu also left the Golden Palace.
"Um, where is this?"
Opening my eyes, I saw an unfamiliar ceiling, and the dim light and dull air gave my accustomed self a different feeling living in the forest. I remember, as if accompanying shu to the rumored dangerous dungeon for a decent job What about shu?
Magenta, who sat up in shock, looked around. Apart from his own luggage and equipment, he couldn't find the figure of another man. Hurriedly opening the door and rushing outside, only to hear
"Good morning! Magenta, wake up."
The feeling of lifting oneself up instantly relaxes, which is the same distance as the feeling sinking to the bottom in an instant. The focus is on the drop, not the location. Such a big transformation can easily make people uncomfortable, especially for this hysterical man. Seeing shu surrounded by a group of children, I clumsily played a seven stringed instrument in my hands. A group of people giggled and laughed, showing a sense of contentment that can only be seen in simple folk customs in front of easily nervous professional rogues.
"What are you doing here!" Magenta exclaimed in a rare and loud voice. But shu showed a nonchalant expression and plucked the seven stringed instrument, speaking with an extremely emotional voice to the music played by the strings. "I'm learning the piano."
"But... but..." As she couldn't say the next sentence, her pink belly made a protest noise, which made the easily emotional professional rogues blush.
A noticeably older girl with a smile handed a simple breakfast forward. Magenta carefully looked back and forth between the bread and the girl, trying to find any plot within their goodwill. However, all of this is in vain, and the people in the dungeon always face everything with a sincere heart. When they dislike someone, they will show a look of disgust without reservation or directly curse at them. Hypocrisy may be the most difficult element to find in this dungeon.
Even so, magenta still snatched the food with quite rough tactics and hurriedly ran to the side to eat. The girl who was treated rudely didn't take it seriously and looked at magenta with an interested expression, sneering. "Wow~It seems like a cute golden mouse snatched something from my hand and ate it."
After hearing the girl's hurtful description clearly, magenta protested vaguely, "How could we transform... humans into mice... it's too... discordant... let's just pretend... I posted... a serious... protest."
"It's unfair to blame me for using a bad description, even though you acted like a mouse."
Listening to the conversation between the two, shu came out with a smile and became a mediator. "Don't talk about that anymore. What about the golden rat later on?"
"I ate it yesterday, the taste is really good." The girl showed an intoxicated expression, and her mouth was still half drooling. This expression and answer made the professional rogues spew out the crumbs in his mouth, making strange howls and retreating at an extremely fast speed. It's like the other person is already assessing the taste he tastes. And this made shu a bit awkward, because such a result was unexpected for him.
"Let's go, little ghosts. Today is our responsibility to deliver three days' worth of food to the underground dwarves who are going to the bottom." The distant cries echoed around the children around shu.
Everyone only replied once and then moved forward in the direction of shouting while chatting and laughing. The still standing shu also stood up, holding up the seven stringed instrument in its hand and shouting to the oldest girl, "Hey~what should I do with this instrument?"
The girl just looked back and smiled. "I'll see you off." He disappeared into the dim channel without looking back.
At this point, magenta has returned to the side of shu. The bread in his hands and mouth was not yet finished, while he excitedly spoke a long string of words. After listening for a while, shu wiped his face and said, "How about swallowing the bread in your mouth first and then speaking?"
"Ah~How could I be here!"
At night, although there is no way to see sunlight in the dungeon, the physiological clock clearly tells everyone that the sun has set and this is the time for the moon. In the human restaurant on the 33rd floor, magenta and shus are sitting at a corner of the long table. Everyone is enjoying dinner effortlessly, and the chatter of chatting fills this space. The most special one among them was the roar Magenta just now, which made everyone look at his position.
shu sitting on the side, equally relaxed, looked at the person beside him with a smile on its face. "Why is it here? It's a long story. But to put it simply, first, while strolling through the underground city, I was dragged by a group of people who were repairing embankments to help. Time passed unnoticed, and then work came to an end, and the embankments were repaired. The group was satisfied with the joy of success, returned to the 33rd floor to take a shower, and then enjoyed a delicious dinner. Do we need to mention the previous part?"
"No! I mean why would I help them! They just had a friendly smile, worked hard, treated people kindly, and had a sweeter mouth, so I was completely manipulated by them! Ah~~" Pinyin jumped up excitedly and exaggerated. Watching the people around burst into laughter, some even jokingly asked, "Does magenta mean living in the city for a long time?"? Because he looks quite suitable for such a place.
shu, who was also smiling lightly, tried to appease the excited professional rogues. "You just explained all the reasons. Besides, when it comes to doing things, you are still the one who works the hardest." However, shu's condolences only bring more distress to the professional rogues, and it should not be difficult to guess when you see him holding his head and shouting.
Recalling everything before, it was like a dream for magenta, and he completely didn't understand why he easily integrated into such a strange social form. I only know that when I am in it, I cannot feel any sense of rejection. Once you step out and look at it, you will feel inexplicable guilt for integrating into this environment without proper discipline. On the other hand, shu beside him always appears indifferent in all his expressions, as if no external environment can hinder the reason why he is his.
This day ended very suddenly, for magenta, because his unconscious time far exceeded his conscious time. Like a day living in a dream.
The next morning, shus rose very early. When he stretched lazily and rubbed his eyes, he saw a professional rogues with red eyes, clutching a quilt and huddled in the corner of the room. Just as he was about to say something, the door opened silently.
"Good morning, breakfast is already..."
The person who had just entered the door said hello, and before they could finish speaking, magenta had already started barking from the side, which also frightened the person who entered. He retreated to the door and looked inside in confusion. shu smiled weakly at him, making a gesture of gratitude and asking him to leave temporarily, before the door closed. The howling professional rogues is still disturbing people's dreams.
Shake the professional rogues's body vigorously, attempting to bring the unfocused gaze and consciousness back to reality. When magenta saw clearly that the person in front of him was a shu, he tightly hugged the man who was also from outside the dungeon. "How terrifying! Isn't all of this true? This should be a rumored dungeon from the outside world, right?"
"What's real or not? Is it fake or not? Be serious." shu pulled aside the magenta and looked straight into his eyes. "You won't be able to adapt to this small situation anymore. How do you face future events and challenges? Values are built on a foothold. Of course, this is the underground city that has been passed down by the outside world, but you now have the opportunity to face it all with the same eyes as the residents of the underground city, rather than standing on their opposite side. Even this is unacceptable, how can you accept all kinds of trials and setbacks in the future. Just go home and farm, you! Forget your goal in mind."
"My goal in my mind?" Pinyin's panicked expression gradually calmed down as he looked at shu in confusion. "Sister Shenjing... yes! I want to find my sister Shenjing!... by the way, how do you... know I have a goal?"
"A man who goes on a trip must have a dream he wants to achieve. Even if he is homeless, finding a place to settle down is a goal. If you are really meaningless and panicked, that's why you came out on a trip, then I can take back what I said and apologize to you."
"But..."
"Nothing is impossible. Just daydream about a smooth journey at home and don't embarrass yourself. If you can't accept the truth you see from different faces, go back obediently. I won't and don't have the right to blame you. On the contrary, if you bring you to such a place, you have the right to blame me even more."
Lowering his head, magenta remained silent. shu continued, "In the world of adventure, there are no eternal enemies or friends. The way to live in this world is to recognize and accept the truth. Moreover, the transformation of the dungeon is moving in a good direction for you and me. What are you worried about or nervous about?"
"Well..." Magenta lifted her face and saw a glimmer of awakening. She also said something that made shu think of strangling him for the first time: "Then I'll go to bed first. I was worried all night yesterday and didn't sleep well." After speaking, she immediately fell to the side. In no time, the faint snoring echoed into the ears of shu.
"Pure to the point of being a damn thing!" shu sighed and left the room.
A group of children gathered around shu yesterday were standing outside the door. Seeing shu walking out, I immediately leaned over. "Good morning. Hmm~Where's the other one? The ghost call I just heard, isn't it his?"
"Just fell asleep, don't disturb him. Sigh~Life is like a flying swan treading on snow and mud."
"Wow~What a beautiful sentence. Does it have any meaning?"
Listening to the girl's agreement, shu smiled. "If the 'sick moan' requires meaning, it's not called 'sick moan' anymore."
