âYou say you... Had seen her long ago?â Colin asked hesitantly.
âYes, she gave me that bunch of first class invitations.â Jamie generously admitted it.
âFuck me, and you say you donât know her?!â
âI really donât know her!â Jamie spread out his hands. âShe didnât tell me her name except she asked me to come on the Philadelphia and said she would surprise me.â
But Jamie was not surprised at all. Last time when he was at the lantern festival, he felt strange but thought it was because he listened to Lorenzoâs singing. Before he came to the dinner party, Auguste gave all of them earplugs. He said that when the show started, they should all stop listening to Alexiaâs songs.
As a result, the program was so boring that he fell asleep. Alexia was still there to make her most tender voice, but Jamie could not hear it any more.
âJust her fantasies....â Colin grabbed the earplugs and tried to stuff them back.
Alexia was still spouting nonsense, âNow, I hope he can come up and accept your blessings with me.â Alexia said, moving to the side of the mobile platform to make room for a quiet moment in the central hall, but nobody came up.
Alexia stood awkwardly, and after a long while, she lowered her head and smiled gently.
âItâs delicious...â
Then she suddenly turned to Augusteâs side.
Haiâan saw her original bright eyes as if they had been quenched with blood, instantly turning into bright blood-red, the corners of her mouth cracked, and drew a smile across half of her face, stretching out her long tongue and licking a circle of her lips.
Buzz! The chandeliers overhead burst with the sound of breaking. Suddenly, the central hall darkened. At the same time, the clear blue sky outside the hall was like the sudden arrival of night, densely engulfing all the light. A moment before the darkness completely covered the hall, Haiâan turned to look at Auguste, who held out his hand to seize Haiâan.
Haiâanâs pupils shrank, because, on Augusteâs left shoulder, a hand suddenly appeared. The hand was fair and tender, and the nail polish was still painted with a bright red nail polish. The hand was passing through Augusteâs shoulder blade, and the fingertip was mixed with bright red flesh and blood. It slipped along the tip of the finger, and then Haiâan couldnât see anything.
âAuguste â cough!â Haiâan immediately stood up and tried to run to Auguste, but a hand suddenly appeared and pinched his neck severely. Haiâan was knocked down by this force. He grabbed it with his left hand and touched a piece of soft and hot skin. Haiâan pulled his hands down and felt that his clothes had been pulled off by himself. Then he felt two pieces of soft meat hitting his hand.
Haiâan was scared to death. What is this?!!
Green vines quickly grew out of Haiâan and wrapped around the person holding Haiâanâs hands. From the personâs mouth came a mournful cry, piercing Haiâanâs ears. Haiâan took the personâs hand, while his right foot pushed forward, Haiâan felt that he had stepped on flesh.
That wasnât a chest, was it? Haiâan twisted his face and recalled the touch, feeling very nauseous, but the personâs hands clasped around his neck had not been released, so Haiâan had to continue kicking one foot at a time.
A gust of wind suddenly hit Haiâanâs face. Haiâan quickly turned his head to the side. Then Haiâan heard the crisp clash of teeth as the person hissed in a breath. In the darkness came the personâs more mournful cry, and a dull crash began to come from the dome of the central hall, accompanied by a crack in the glass.
Boom. Boom. A flame suddenly appeared in the darkness, and gradually spread upward from the hands pinched on Haiâanâs neck. In the light of the fire, Haiâan finally saw who the person was who strangled him.
It was Alexia â the clothes on her chest had fallen off, and her plump bare breasts were exposed, but there was a slight purple mark on them. Her red eyes stared at Haiâan fiercely. Her light brown hair turned dark as ink. Her mouth was completely split and her mouth was open and shouting at Haiâan.
The tongue of fire soon curled up her hair, and Alexia finally released her grip on Haiâanâs hands.
Haiâan retreated, while subconsciously touching his chest, Alexiaâs chest... Didnât it hurt?
It really did hurt. Because Haiâan saw Alexia stand up the next moment, and then with both hands holding her breasts, she roared, and her cracked mouth kept roaring. Blood kept spilling from her mouth, trickling down to the ground. Haiâan only heard the sound of âpopâ and felt the splash of blood. Suddenly, a dead bird appeared in front of Alexiaâs chest.
It has a pointed beak and a long, slender tongue with a barb, âCaw -!!! Caww!!!!!!!â
Halfway through the call, the bird collapsed with Alexiaâs body â because Haiâan was so excited that he used a fireball technique and threw it directly into the dead birdâs mouth. The blazing fire quickly rolled over Alexiaâs body and sent out a blazing light.
It illuminated a small area around Haiâan.
But Auguste, Jamie, Collin, and Corson were missing.
To be exact, Haiâan was the only person left in the hall.
The sound of broken glass was still coming from the dome, clicking, Haiâan looked up, and a pair of blood-red eyes stared at him in the darkness â it was not dark at all, but a dense corpse bird, covered all of Philadelphia.
âYou look great.â A beautiful female voice appeared behind Haiâan.
Haiâan turned around and a taller woman stood a few metres away, wearing a bright red fishtail dress, with honey hair hanging behind her head, only a few strands of hair on her ears, and dark red eyes just like Auguste and Carl.
âPure and clean. Itâs ridiculous that Auguste fell in love with you.â Step by step, she approached Haiâan and looked down. She saw the soul stone necklace on Haiâanâs neck and a sweet smile on her face. âWhat do I see? He also gave you his Soul Stone.â
As she walked forward, she raised her hand to touch Haiâanâs necklace. Haiâan stepped back and avoided her hand. Haiâan saw that her nails were painted with red nail polish, as white and tender as the hand that went through Augusteâs shoulder.
âMy name is Ariella.â She chuckled and approached Haiâan. âYou should have heard my name.â
Having said this, Haiâan saw Ariellaâs round pupil, which became slim in an instant. Haiâan immediately turned and ran backwards. Ariellaâs laughter echoed behind him. The glass of the dome was completely broken. âHaw!!!â Numerous dead birds were spinning down from the top, and the whole central hall was covered with black.
When Lydney woke up, he found himself lying in a dilapidated brick house. Several strands of white light penetrated through the wall and hurt his eyes.
âCarl?â Lydney called Carlâs name, but there was no response.
Where was this? Lydney covered his forehead and thought carefully about what had just happened. Instead of attending Alexiaâs concert, he and Carl went straight back to first class. Carl turned the prize box out of their suitcase and opened it despite his hindrance.
Inside was a round-handled cane as thick as Carlâs arms.
âWhat is this?â Carl took it out and tossed it in his hand.
âCarl, donât touch...â Before Lydney had finished, the cane shook violently and Carl threw it to the ground. The cane lay quietly on the ground.
Lydney and Carl looked at each other and slowly moved over.
âHello, welcome to gentlemanâs stick produced by Blue Beast Star. What kind of tail do you like?â
âDragon?â As soon as Carl spoke, Lydney overruled him.
âCat.â
âData start-up, please wait a moment.â
The wait was ten minutes. Ten minutes later, the cane didnât respond at all.
âIs it faulty?â Carl walked forward suspiciously and kicked the stick. As a result, the stick ran on its own with long feet. âThe data is messy! Please repair! The data is messy! Please repair it! â
âWhatâs this?!â
Lydney picked up the instructions in the gift box and looked at them. At the bottom of the instructions was a line of small letters.
So when he and Carl accidentally fell, they broke it? Lydney couldnât believe that there were such fake and inferior products in StarCraft.
âCarl, letâs not play with this.â
âWhat else do you play with?â Carl was not disappointed either. He looked back and pulled his arm.
And then?
No matter what Lydney thought, he couldnât remember what happened afterwards. How he came here and where Carl went, he didnât know. Lying on the ground was a little cold, and the bitter chill was coming from the floor, sucking the temperature off Lydney.Lydney stood up and pushed open the door of the house. He planned to go out first and ask who else he might meet.
[Look! Black hair, black eyes of human beings!! ]
[God! Is he pure human? ]
[I didnât expect to see pure human beings here in my lifetime! ]
When Lydney was in the house, he thought he would be in the city of dawn, because there was white light in the cracks of the wall, but when he came out, he found out that there was a dark and broken road outside. People in the road saw him and they looked at him in shock, while his mouth was talking in a curl, but Lydney said a word. I cannot understand you.
âWhere is this, please?â Lydney walked up to a man and smiled to ask the way.
[Is he talking to me? Hahaha itâs so cute! ] The man smiled, but did not answer what Lydney said.
âExcuse me...â Lydney thought the man hadnât heard him, so he wanted to ask again.
âThis is a slum street.â
Lydney looked back and Lorenzo stood not far behind him with an oil lamp, frowning. âWhy are you here?â
âLorenzo?â Lydney opened his eyes wide. âGreat. They donât seem to understand me.â
âTheyâre not talking in interstellar lingua franca. Come with me.â After Lorenzo had said this, he turned and walked back without waiting for Lydney to follow him.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWait for me!â Lydney caught up.
