Chapter 919 Let the flowers bloom
Brother Yang has disappeared for several days.
Just as I expected, I never saw him again after that time.
The entire "Bliss Bank" was deserted overnight, leaving only some broken statues.
Jiang Ruoxue and I spent several days searching for Brother Yang throughout the city, but we had no idea what Brother Yang would become.
Will he become more like a "sheep" or more like a "man"?
If it's a sheep, what kind of sheep is it? If it were a human, what would he look like?
Looking for Aries is really not an easy task. Jiang Ruoxue and I were like two headless flies bumping into each other in the city. Our mood also changed from slightly hopeful at the beginning to lifeless at the end.
The novelty of “what’s next” only lasts a few days before we’re back to where we were before.
We live numbly, and the road in front of us gradually becomes full of fog.
We even walked through small alleys that we had never entered before and found various "zodiac signs" hidden in corners, but we never saw Aries.
"Zhichun...don't you think it's too quiet?" Jiang Ruoxue asked me with her head lowered.
We were resting in a narrow alley, and there was a human-level "zodiac" standing not far away.
"Quiet...?" I looked around at the street, "Are you talking about here? There is really no one here."
"No." Jiang Ruoxue shook her head, "Zhichun, since Aries left, everything here has been too quiet..."
As soon as she finished speaking, the "Zodiac" a few steps away suddenly started to take over the work. He cleared his throat and said to us: "Do you two want to participate in my game?"
Jiang Ruoxue and I glanced at him, but no one said anything. This kind of "zodiac sign" is everywhere. His game is set up in a hidden alley, and it is estimated that "participants" are rarely seen.
Jiang Ruoxue looked at me again and said solemnly: "Zhichun, don't you think the current atmosphere is a little strange...? The "upper level" is quiet, the "zodiac" is quiet, and even the "participants" are quiet... It seems that no one is making any big moves. Is everyone waiting for something or preparing for something? "
I feel that Jiang Ruoxue is right. Ever since Brother Yang disappeared, everything seems to have calmed down. Even the most powerful "participants" in the past have moved much smaller.
"Tiantiankou", whose song focuses on the "zodiac", has recently stopped betting on the "zodiac", and instead seems to be recharging its energy.
What on earth are you doing? Why is the atmosphere here different from before?
"I really don't feel right..." Jiang Ruoxue frowned and said to me, "Zhichun... The current situation is like the calm before the storm. It seems that some huge cause and effect is about to be born... This place will be turned upside down... "
Yes...this was Brother Yang's plan. He would come back here one day and turn it upside down.
But where is he now?
I sighed, turned my face, and my eyes happened to meet the man-monkey a few steps away.
He was looking at me and Jiang Ruoxue the whole time.
His mask is a bit strange. Although it is called a "man-monkey", it is actually the face of a rotting baboon.
"Do you two want to participate in my game?" he asked again.
"I won't participate." Jiang Ruoxue said, "Don't waste your efforts. We are not here to find Tao. Please save your breath."
I frowned slightly, as if I thought of something.
"You two, if you participate... I will give you a fake flower made of plastic." Man-Monkey said again, "Are you really not going to try it?"
"Fake flowers made of plastic...?" Jiang Ruoxue slowly raised her head and stared at the human-monkey in front of me with me.
His figure overlapped with someone in his memory.
"You...you are..." Jiang Ruoxue was about to speak, but I quickly pulled her back.
"Ruoxue, you can't call me by your name." I reminded.
Manhou didn't call out our names because he was afraid that we would suddenly recognize him.
Sure enough, he came here and became a human monkey in "Daocheng".
This shows that he bet the previous human monkey to death, and also shows that "Jade City" has completely failed.
Even if Gu Yu took everything he learned from "Daocheng" and "Wortex City" and went back to reshuffle the cards there, he still could not cure the seriously ill city.
But how long has Gu Yu been here? After all, it has been many years since I last met him. Did he just come here when he appeared in such a dark alley...or has he been here for many years?
Seeing the complicated expressions on Jiang Ruoxue and me, he knew that we recognized him.
"It's okay not to participate in the game." He added, "But I still have to give you flowers."
He took out the familiar black stick from his pocket and then handed it to my hand.
"Human Monkey... Aren't you going to give us flowers?" I said holding the black stick, "We are not magicians and we don't know how to use this prop."
"Let it bloom." Man-Monkey said in a choked voice, "If possible, please help me..."
"help you……?"
"The flowers can't bloom... The iron wall in the Western Zhou Dynasty is too hard..." Manhou said, "I can never break this hard iron wall, but there is a very beautiful flower inside... If you can't break the "flower" "Bring it out, can you find a way to bring out the "seed"... That is the seed of "hope"... I beg you, if you can really take away the hope... I will definitely find a way to repay you."
Jiang Ruoxue and I are not stupid people, and we understand the meaning of this sentence clearly.
"You're not kidding, right?" I sighed and said, "That's not our "flower", nor our "seed". With this iron rod by your side, you can't even make the flower bloom. , why do you expect others to do it for you after leaving it to outsiders?”
"I have tried all the methods..." Man-Monkey lowered his head and said, "But the flowers and seeds are stuck tightly... This hard black iron wall is shrinking inward, and sooner or later it will flatten the flowers, and then My thoughts stopped when I crushed the seeds, but maybe others will think of something I couldn't think of..."
"But the iron wall is too hard." I said, "Jiang Ruoxue and I are just two ordinary people. Our nails will break on the iron wall, so I won't take risks, and I won't let Ruoxue take risks. We That’s enough for a magician.”
After hearing this, Gu Yu's eyes seemed to be dead, and then he slowly lowered his head.
He should also know how rude his request is. No matter who else in "Jade City" has not escaped, they are people who have nothing to do with us.
We have already told Gu Yu a lot about the "Land of End" and "Zodiac", and also led him on this relatively safe road to escape, but now he wants us to go to "Jade City" "It's risky, I won't agree to it no matter what this time.
"I'm sorry." Man-Monkey lowered his head with a hint of disappointment, "It was just my imagination...Thank you."
"What do you think of Hua?" Jiang Ruoxue suddenly asked from the side.
"Flower?" Man-Monkey looked at her.
"Does the flower want to bloom?" Jiang Ruoxue asked again, "Does she want to bloom by herself, or does she want others to take the seeds away?"
"Ruoxue..." I reached out and pulled her, "What are you going to do?"
"Zhichun, everything is cause and effect." Jiang Ruoxue said to me, "What we are encountering now has been doomed a long time ago."
The Man-Monkey sighed deeply and said, "I don't know if the flower wants to bloom, but she must want someone to take the seeds away."
