"We might be in big trouble."
Fifteen minutes later, everyone gathered on the bridge. After listening to Huai Shi's speculation, their faces darkened.
Gregory tossed the coin in his hand repeatedly in silence. Then he began to draw cards, and then he took out a spirit pendulum …
But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't find any trace of it.
Usually, he would treat this kind of nonsense as nonsense. But if it was Huai Shi who said it, he had to treat it with caution.
After all, his Crow's Beak was always so accurate.
After a long time, the Shepherd threw down his tools in frustration.
"If your … precognitive dream isn't wrong, such a terrifying existence can only be born in a godforsaken place like the bottom of the Dark Abyss."
In a short silence, no one said anything.
The Abyss Eruption caused by the Golden Dawn had thrown many things into a depth that didn't belong to them.
The quantity, quality, and scale were not inferior to a sudden War of the Worlds, and it was an encounter without any warning or preparation.
No one knew what kind of remnants would be left behind.
Even in the scar area, the bones of all the victims were completely destroyed. This hatred for the Kingdom of Heaven could be said to be deeply engraved in their hearts.
Now, they were being targeted by such a large monster.
Everyone's heart sank.
"Why don't we turn around and run?"
The snail in the basket carefully poked its head out.
For a moment, all the unhappy eyes fell on it. Odum could only bury its head in the leaves and pretend that nothing happened.
"If such a big thing was following behind us, it wouldn't have shown any signs, right?" After Forster finished cleaning his gun, he suddenly asked, "What are you hiding?"
"Ah, this …"
Odum was stunned. "This … is not within my surveillance range. Brothers, in all honesty, a guide can't be used as a satellite, okay?"
No matter how strong the Rust Snail's vitality was, it couldn't survive in the Abyss outside of Hell.
It was too much to expect a group of water bears to travel across space.
For a moment, it could only look at Huai Shi for help.
"Don't worry, I won't place unrealistic expectations on you."
Huai Shi did not pursue this matter. "You just need to do your job well."
"Sigh, being so straightforward really makes Snail a little sad."
The Rust Snail scratched the top of its head with its tentacles, and its eyes flicked back and forth. "But please rest assured that duty comes first. No matter what happens, I will abide by the agreement and send you to your destination.
Of course, I can't deny that I find pleasure in it, but isn't this a sign of 'devotion to one's job'? "
He was not ashamed of his bad taste at all. Instead, he was immensely pleased with himself.
Although its origin was mysterious and somewhat annoying, this snail had not harmed any of their interests until now, nor had it triggered Huai Shi's alarm. Instead, it had conscientiously guided them on the route, doing a brilliant job as a guide.
Not only did he answer all the questions, but he was also able to speak clearly and logically when it came to the products and specialties of certain parts of Hell.
If she walked in front with a flag on her head and waved it twice, it would almost make people suspect that she was a gold-medal tour guide from some scenic spot.
It could even be turned into food at critical times.
It was simply impeccable.
When he thought of this, Huai Shi looked at it with an especially appreciative gaze.
Odum trembled all over.
He subconsciously felt a little uneasy.
He moved back a little.
Unfortunately, the snail's speed was too slow, and it looked no different from standing in place.
Fortunately, Huai Shi did not say something like 'if you don't want to become food, take a step back'. Instead, he curiously stuck his head out and looked at it carefully.
"For some reason, there are some things that are inconvenient for me to show my face, so … …"
He paused for a moment and said meaningfully, "Can I ask you for a small favor?"
.
.
Ten minutes later, a brand new altar had been erected on the deck of the Sun Ship, which had come to a sudden stop.
However, this did not look like a ritual to pray for power from a certain Hell powerhouse. It was not serious and cold, and there was no blood sacrifice or sacrifice. At best, it was just a communication device.
Then, Huai Shi threw two Origin Crystals and a handful of Calamity Coins on it.
"Okay, it's about time to start."
He turned back and said to Odum, "As for how to disguise yourself as an ordinary Hell creature, I don't need to teach you more, right?"
"I understand, I understand!"
Odum waved his tentacles excitedly. "As long as you don't let me eat tigers, I'm good at pretending to be a pig!"
"Very good."
Huai Shi nodded to express his encouragement, then picked up the Rust Snail and placed it on the altar's sacrificial spot … … Odum was not nervous at all. Instead, his two big eyes were filled with anticipation as he began to wait.
Then, Huai Shi thought for a moment and rubbed three welding rods to act as incense sticks. The entire altar at least looked a little more proper.
Then, he shook his body and quickly bent his body. His face protruded, and he turned into a dog-headed person that was commonly seen everywhere in Hell like a pest.
He devoutly prostrated himself in front of the altar.
He opened his arms.
He called out affectionately.
"Great Paradise, Lord of the world's joy and beautiful dreams, your humble believer calls here, praying for your majestic appearance to descend, praying for your profound wisdom to guide me, praying for your infinite power to show me … …"
He was starting to summon people!
Following his impassioned chanting, the alchemy array lit up layer by layer. Through the connection of the Sun Ship, the high-power antenna was outputted, penetrating the fog at the edge of the Scar Area. Then, the broadcast of the Source Form spread out in the noisy Hell.
Following the operation of the antenna, Huai Shi carefully adjusted the knob in her hand, locking on to the resonance of Paradise on her body. She repeatedly searched through the layers and finally landed on a remote place in the Withered Area where there was no one.
And a suspicious gaze followed the call of the secret device and looked at this place from afar.
Suspiciously, it looked around.
Behind the shielding device, everyone was on high alert. They held their breaths and let the gaze sweep past them like air. There were no signs of abnormalities.
Until the gaze hidden behind the scenes confirmed that there was no danger. Then, a deep shadow slowly appeared on the altar.
The voice was cold and majestic, like a king from the Dark Abyss, with a disdainful aura. He asked calmly, "Who is it, calling for Majesty — F * ck!"
The moment the shadow appeared, Huai Shi stepped on the altar and stepped forward. He directly grabbed the head of the shadow and pulled with all his might.
Following his action, the whale-catching harpoon that was ready to be shot on the Sun Ship roared and shot out. The Source Form that had undergone a qualitative change of divinity wrapped around the shadow.
In an instant, after penetrating dozens of layers, it forcefully wrapped around the shadow's body and dragged it here.
Descend!
After a loud roar, the altar collapsed.
Kitten, who was smoking with his legs crossed, smashed into the secret device together with the chair under his butt. Layers of binding, entangling, and suppressing him.
Then, countless guns and cannons were aimed at his face.
On the tattered ragdoll clothes, the originally satisfied smile froze on the spot.
"Big brother, spare me, wait!"
Before he could react, Kitten subconsciously raised his hands and screamed, "I don't know Huai Shi, you've got it wrong! I'm just Lu … Wait. "
He paused for a moment, sensing that something was amiss. His gaze swept across the crowd, and finally landed on the kobold. He was suspicious.
"Who are you?"
"…"
In the silence, the kobold slowly removed his disguise and said expressionlessly, "The one you just said you don't know."
Dead silence.
Half of Kitten's cigarette ash fell on his chin and burned a new black spot.
"Ah, this …"
He coughed awkwardly, looked around, and put on an indignant and accusatory expression. "Huai Shi, you're not being nice. Hurry up and let go of me. We've been friends for so many years, and you're still letting me fish?"
"I can't help it."
Huai Shi moved a chair over and sat in front of him. He didn't look like he was going to let go of Kitten at all. He just asked curiously, "If I don't use some tricks, will you be willing to see me?"
"Of course …"
Kitten answered without hesitation, "Absolutely not!"
What a joke. How could others not know? How could he not know how strange Huai Shi was?!
Wherever he went, there would be explosions. Whoever he touched would die. Whoever met him would be unlucky. If he touched them, they would die. If he hit them, they would die. Did he really think that the name 'Disaster Sword' was just for show?
Back then, not long after he ate one fish for five meals, he began to regret it. Why did he have to get involved with this freeloader for the sake of negotiating money?
He didn't get many benefits. Instead, he was treated as a freeloader.
Even if he applied for an annual card, he couldn't come every day!
Back then, he moved quickly and had Yamatai to block the disaster for him. But now, where could he find an unlucky guy to be a scapegoat?
Moreover, ever since the name of Celestial genealogy became more and more famous in hell, all the partners began to look at him strangely.
— — I heard … that Huai Shi from the present realm … the one who especially likes to behead people, is from your family?
He really wanted to refute with righteous words, but wasn't the crown of the Paradise Prince on Huai Shi's head given out by the Paradise Prince back then?
If he could have known earlier that Huai Shi was so good at creating things, he would have stopped this matter even if he had to quarrel with the Paradise Prince again.
But now, he couldn't even avoid it.
The hatred of both sides had been bound …
Now, the entire border between the Withered Zone and the Deep Zone was in a mess because of a member of Celestial genealogy. So many large groups of people were tortured to death. Rounding up, almost all the famous forces in the Abyss were messing with him.
In order to avoid the limelight, he could only move again with tears in his eyes. He even endured the pain of closing the two branches that had just opened. It was the time when he couldn't make ends meet and had to tighten his belt to live … Otherwise, how could he have fallen to the point where he had to personally come out to extort, cough, cough, the money maker?
Thinking of this, his eyes turned red.
Unfortunately, the smoke stains were too thick and couldn't be seen at all.
Kitten said earnestly, "Huai Shi, at least we had a short-lived marriage. Back then, we were inseparable. Both of us were willing. You can't push me into the fire pit!"
"Look at what you're saying. Aren't we a family?"
Huai Shi crossed his legs and said calmly, "How can we eat together when there's nothing to do and go our separate ways when there's something to do? Of course, if we die, we die together. "
"Hey, don't go too far!"
Kitten was so angry that she wanted to hit the table, but she was tied up by the chain and couldn't move. She could only twist her body to express her anger. "The Road to the Paradise Prince has already been handed over to the new inheritor. Our agreement with Celestial genealogy has already been fulfilled!
For so many years, we worked so hard to be your custodian and OEM. We paid for the materials ourselves and were responsible for the after-sales. We didn't even ask for a single cent!
We just wanted to ride on your popularity. What's wrong with that?
You can't just catch a toad and kill it, right? "
"Oh, then this is the second deal."
Huai Shi touched the cigarette ash and said seriously, "I, representing Celestial genealogy, re-establish an alliance with the Paradise Prince."
Kitten shouted angrily, "The Paradise Prince is not available!"
Huai Shi smiled. "Don't you want to hear my conditions?"
Kitten shook her head decisively. "I don't …"
Dong!
Before he finished speaking, a dark silhouette appeared behind him. It was as if a huge city had appeared in layers of fog. A dim rainbow hung from the top of the castle, bringing with it strands of light.
It flashed and disappeared.
Only the magnificent sound of the bell echoed in the fog and gradually dissipated.
Bypassing its chosen agent, the will of the Paradise Prince came here and launched a response.
Kitten was furious.
"Stop it. That's enough!"
He turned his head, wriggled in the shackles, and scolded angrily, "Don't you think about it? It's been so many years. Who has cared about us?
If I hadn't been so shameless and spent so much money, I wouldn't have been able to live. Now that we've finally been free for a few days, why are you still rushing forward to join in the fun?!
Isn't it good to have a long memory?! "
Dong!
The mighty sound of the bell rang once again in response.
Kitten's face twitched. She didn't know if it was from embarrassment or helplessness. She stomped her feet and said, "Fine, fine, fine. You guys are all right. I'm the only one who's stingy, okay?"
Dong!
The bell rang again.
This time, a gentle force brushed past and unlocked Kitten's shackles. It even stuffed a new cigarette into the corner of her mouth, lit it, and patted her on the shoulder.
It was as if she was gently comforting her.
Kitten smoked silently. After a long time, she snorted twice, put out the cigarette, and looked at Huai Shi.
"Tell me, what are your conditions?"
He said coldly, "Let's be frank. Take out something real. Don't make empty promises and trick us unlucky people into working for you for free, okay? I've had enough of the Republic. "
Huai Shi thought for a moment and solemnly promised, "Then, how about letting the theme parks open everywhere?"
Kitten immediately snorted and sneered. She glanced at Huai Shi. "If cultivation bases are so easy to earn, why are those rulers fighting the War of the Worlds? Don't you care about your face? Do you think we'll open it just because you say so? "
"Yes."
Huai Shi nodded and told her, "We'll open it just because I say so."
Kitten's expression instantly stiffened.
Huai Shi's words were still going on.
"Yingzhou, Dongxia, America, the Russian Federation, Rome … Kitten, other than Egypt, you can open it anywhere you want.
Danbo has already prepared the land. If you hadn't been afraid of trouble during this period of time and avoided me like the plague, the theme park would have started operating long ago.
I won't make empty promises to you, nor will I make any promises to you that can't be fulfilled. But now, if you're willing to go to the lobby, I can give you the entire Las Vegas.
At that time, it doesn't matter how many carousels and roller coasters you want to build. Even if you cover the entire city in the theme park, I can help you do it. "
"Three years."
He raised his finger and promised, "In three years at most, the correction value you earn will be enough for the theme park to temporarily get rid of the influence of solidification and return to your original appearance."
Without waiting for Kitten to answer, Huai Shi leaned closer and asked in a low voice, "Think about it, Kitten. How many years have you not been in the sun? How many years have you not appeared in your original appearance?
This opportunity is right in front of you. "
He said, "As long as you say the word."
In the brief silence, the kitten's hands trembled slightly. There was a moment when she seemed to be tempted, but then she forced herself to put on an indifferent look and snorted, "Just this little thing, and you want to …"
Dong!
The low and deep sound of the bell rang again.
He interrupted him.
"Hey, I'm talking business here. Can you stay out of it?"
Kitten turned around and shouted angrily, "Brothers, we should settle accounts clearly. You –"
Her voice came to an abrupt stop.
At that moment, her movements froze on the spot and she began to twitch violently.
A huge will gradually squeezed into her body and took over everything by force.
Like a dying old man on a hospital bed, Kitten opened her mouth and let out a slow and hoarse voice, telling him,
"These, are not, important."
"…"
In the short silence, Huai Shi was stunned. He felt the source substance surging in Kitten's body at this moment.
It was so weak, so painful … It was like struggling with difficulty in a quagmire, holding tightly onto a straw, but it no longer had the strength to get up.
"I can promise more."
Huai Shi replied, "But I need time to complete it."
"Those things, are not, important."
Kitten, no, the will of the paradise raised its head with difficulty. As if it was talking in a dream, it told him, "Laughter … children … and … hugs and … flowers …"
When it made a sound, its eyes seemed to light up with the light of the past.
In the midsummer of the past, the bright sunshine seemed to be eternal. Colorful balloons floated in the blue sky, just like the bubbles of a fairy tale.
Roller coasters, balls, floats, and merry-go-rounds.
The children ran excitedly in the square, dancing and holding the hands of the smiling dolls. Laughter could be heard.
Everything was as beautiful as a never-ending dream.
But those distant dreams had long since passed away.
Along with the joy …
The paradise was no longer there.
Thus, in the empty eyes, turbid tears slowly flowed down.
"Want, see." It murmured hoarsely, as if it was begging, looking at Huai Shi, "Everyone, once again, laugh together."
"…"
In the silence, Huai Shi did not speak.
He closed his eyes and clenched his fists. After a long time, he nodded vigorously.
"I'll do it."
Huai Shi said. "Definitely."
At that moment, a gratified smile appeared on the kitten's face.
It closed its eyes.
The bell rang.
In the midst of this high-pitched cry in the distance, Huai Shi's secret instrument began to tremble violently and crack. But the connection to the distance was not broken.
Just behind the kitten, the void suddenly became turbulent.
It was as if a behemoth was hissing and doing its best to open up a gap. It did not hesitate to turn itself into a bridge and open the door.
Behind the gate, the silent paradise lit up with the light of an illusion again.
The merry-go-round sang and ran again. Seven colors appeared on the ferris wheel, spinning like a sun wheel. Dim fireworks rose into the sky and bloomed brightly for an instant.
The gate of the castle opened with a bang.
Countless figures emerged from behind the door. When the sound of countless footsteps overlapped, it turned into a roar that shook the whole world.
Along the bridge that led to the other side, they moved forward, cheering and singing gentle carols. The parade of floats that belonged to the paradise began again!
They went to their own battlefield.
"Remember your promise, Huai Shi."
The kitten raised its head and conveyed the will of its creator to the sublimator in front of it, "From now on, the paradise will … be with you!"
"Kitten, you can witness everything with your own eyes."
Huai Shi nodded and told it:
"Our contract will not end until we die."
