Chapter 88
There are still four days before the carnival and three days before the Resurrection Day.
Hitomi released a promotional video for the first carnival.
The filming location of the promo was the newly built Mardi Gras Square. This simple and crude naming is from Arecio. The childcare center spent a night on a rehearsal with lights and shot a promotional video by the way.
Many dark creatures participated, all of which belonged to the childcare center headquarters. This was considered a special treatment. After all, this activity was funded by the childcare center headquarters. These dark creatures are almost all Arecio-educated. In other words, they are different from the dark creatures after the fire and rain. Although they still have a good heart, they have gradually recovered their past in terms of strength and psychology. A little shadow.
The promo film is like a complete story. The human girl played by Lucy went to participate in the grand parade of the carnival. She was wearing a beautiful dress with a demure smile on her face. She was obviously enjoying this joyous festival.
The girl passed by the stall selling masks. The stall owner removed the white wolf mask on her face with her hand wrapped in animal teeth accessories. The ears on top of her head moved away from the mask’s animal ears, shaking flexibly; she bought a cup at another stall. With sweet and sour juice, the Secret Snake poked her head out of the shadows under the booth, watching her leaving behind; the devil and the elves were performing a legendary drama of a companion adventure, with dolls selling monsters. The girl picked up the dolls and suddenly heard There was a tumult, the bat-wing float slowly moved away, and the people dressed in blood on the float showed pointed fangs, and a meaningful smile lingered on his lips…
There are lights, masks, and shaking figures everywhere. The girls happily stopped in front of stalls, talked and danced with people passing by, everything was too noisy, everything was too dreamy, everything was contained in the fire-like enthusiasm, and burst out along with this joyous festival!
The music turned soft and gorgeous, and the black-winged actor playing the fallen angel reached out to the girl and invited her to dance with her. The young girl was about to respond, when she suddenly stretched out her other hand next to her, the blond young man panicked and led the young girl away from the fallen angel as a friend. In the corner, the young man gasped, and explained to the girl in fear that a monster had entered the carnival.
Then he saw the girl looking at him with a quiet smile.
The flesh and blood of those symmetrical and slender hands fell off, and the girl lich stretched out her hand, and her bones held the face of this overly cute human.
[Welcome to the carnival. 】
The comment area at the bottom of this video exploded as expected.
[Ah ah ah ah, I want to go to the scene I want to go to the scene wow wow wow wow wow! 】
[Do you think I don’t want to? ! I also want Lucy to hold my face oh oh oh oh! 】
[I feel the charm of dark creatures ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo That kind of spooky and gorgeous feeling stabs me to death, stabs me to death! 】
[Cissy kill me! Xixi’s little fangs killed me! 】
The corpses were everywhere in the comment area. After watching the status of the comment area, Arecio was deeply satisfied with this promotional video. It not only promoted the carnival, but also re-established the image of dark creatures. Waiting for the carnival scene to be broadcast directly, the image The intensity of the transformation is even greater.
Theo, who clearly said that he wants to create negative public opinion, hasn’t moved recently. Arecio thinks he’s been stunned again and wants to avoid the cusp of the carnival, but… after the carnival, even if Theo bursts out those remarks, They also have a big wave of public opinion about the new changes to suppress each other.
Thinking of this, Arecio was refreshed, and even worked overtime a lot.
Theo, who was thought of by him, did choose to temporarily avoid the edge under the carnival boom.
With the same memories from thousands of years ago, Theo knew what kind of festival it was, even if he didn’t like it himself, the weak creatures liked it very much. In the world ten thousand years later, the weak and small creatures have become the main body of this world, and they make their own voices through social networks. Theo is not stupid enough to head-on with such a huge group.
He targeted the carnival after the carnival, because the southeast branch was in his hands, and the dark creatures were easy to create. He can’t match Arecio’s momentum right now, it doesn’t matter, it’s okay to raise it first and then stop it. Let his child be proud of it for a while.
He looked at the table. In the transparent container, the soft female worm stretched out its tentacles, ready to move.
Theo smiled.
The premise of everything in front is that the carnival is held smoothly. If even the carnival is not smooth…
That is a one-sided situation.
*****
Two days before the carnival and before the resurrection day.
Lucy woke up from meditation, holding the scepter in her hand, she walked down the bone steps. Above her head is the deep sea, and her little kingdom of undead sleeps under the deep sea. Now, it has gradually dyed her color.
This feeling is very strange, as if the entire sea of undead has become a part of her soul, she can control it and respect it, the concept of life and death is completely blurred here, there is only eternal silence, she can’t even do it Know if you are dead or alive.
Leviathan is floating above her head. He has grown very big. His beard touches softly covering the sea. There are some colorful gleams of water flowing on his body. It looks light and romantic, and it is also growing. The more God looks. Hai Yizhu floated upside down, looking at the lich sitting on the steps with a scepter.
[What are you thinking about, my guardian? 】
He waved two long whiskers, almost knotted.
[Be happy, cute. 】
Lucy smiled, she thinks this **** is also very cute, and they have become friends in just half a month of getting along. But her smile was fleeting, and the soul-flaming black eyes were still very gentle, but they were also mixed with some lonely looks.
[Well, I will give you a gift before I leave. Leviathan said, [On the one hand, thank you for resuscitating me. On the other hand, Behemoth has sent Frost Wings to his guardians, so I shouldn’t be left behind. 】
“……gift?”
【Correct! Seeing her reaction, Leviathan was happy, [Just like I want to realize the wish of the lich ten thousand years ago, I will also realize your wish. Even, because I didn’t have time to fulfill her request in the end, I gave you two gifts together. 】
[You can make a wishful wish. 】
“Is it really okay? God easily fulfills the wishes of others, will it…break the rules?”
Leviathan waved his beard indifferently to this concern.
[No, because it is difficult for Gods to interfere in world affairs, we even make deals with people to allow them to maintain the balance of the world. After all… the bargaining chip God can provide is very important for people in this world. is attractive. 】
Lucy relaxed now, but Lucy didn’t know what kind of wish she should make. She had everything and didn’t want too much. This sudden wish was even a little redundant. But when Leviathan said so, she thought about it very carefully.
[Not in a hurry, just tell me before I leave. 】
Leviathan must stay and watch the carnival. At the end of the night, he will completely restore the face of God and become one of the three dark pillars guarding the world. That kind of life is actually very lonely, so when he meets funny and lovely people, he is not stingy to express his kindness.
Speaking of interesting people…
[Didn’t you say that you want to take me to meet your friends? ] He asked, and suddenly found that the Lich Girl had frozen.
Lucy glanced calmly at the time on her head.
It was already ten o’clock, unless Arecii worked overtime for more than four consecutive hours after work, otherwise there would be no chance. However, she didn’t want to give up, so she immediately got up and headed to the sea.
In the nursery center, Areciou announced that he was off work. He went to take a look at the neuropathy who was still drawing pictures.
“Are you planning to spend the night tonight?” He asked. If he gets crazy all night tonight, his gift plan may be ruined. “After 12 o’clock tonight is the Resurrection Day. This holiday is not publicized, but it still has to be over. Right.”
Ruzius certainly knew that because Carnival was clearly more in line with the tastes of contemporary people, there was no hype on the Day of Resurrection. In their time, there are many sayings about souls, and they are more awe-inspiring. Therefore, on the day of resurrection, people will stay at home quietly, or think about the relatives and friends that have been lost, or simply stay with their families. Thank you for being alive.
Arecio has already asked for leave, even his own. The center respects their customs, and he and Areci can stay at home tomorrow.
It’s just… Now that there is a problem with the poster, it is estimated that I need to stay up late to rush to work.
“Sorry, I can only promise as soon as possible.” He was a little apologetic, and then urged Alessio to go back first, “You don’t need to be with me, you go back and light a candle to warn the dead, I also bought the food in advance, you can put it out. ”
Arecio finds it a bit tricky. He doesn’t know how to perform these rituals as a blood race. As a human neuropathy, he seems to do it every year. But he was a bit hesitant to work overtime here alone with the neuropathy. As a result, he just opened his mouth and the neuropathy had persuaded him with a reason that he could not refuse.
“Just treat it for me.” The sage stopped the paintbrush and smiled a little. He stretched out his hand. As soon as Arecio blinked, he rubbed something on his face.
Arecio with a splash of oil on his face: “…”
Dog me again! Work overtime by yourself!
Watching Arecio go away angrily, Ruzius kept a smile on his face, turned his head after a while, and continued his work. He really couldn’t bear to stay here with Alessi to work overtime. The forecast tonight also said that there will be rain. It is better to let Alessi go back first, stay at home, eat something and play games.
As it approached midnight, the staff said goodbye in twos and threes. He washed the paint on his hands in the bathroom, and when he was about to leave, he glanced at the time in his head.
Immediately zero.
The time was beating all the time, Ruzius looked at it for a while, and was about to put away the light brain, suddenly reminding him that there is a new communication.
It’s Areci.
He paused and picked up the communication, the time on the optical brain was still beating, and the day of resurrection was approaching.
“Can you hear it?” The voice from the other end of the communication was a bit annoyed at first, but soon, the opposite Arecio stopped angry with him.
“I hear it.” Ruzius stopped and leaned against the wall of the corridor, feeling soft in his heart.
“Even though you are such a dog and you were angry with me just now, I still called you this newsletter. After all, there is no way to wait for zero together.” Arecio was sitting on the sofa and talking on the newsletter. When he said this, he sat upright. Candles have been lit everywhere in the house, and among the swaying candlelights, it seems that the souls of the past are coming to enjoy their annual worship.
“I prepared a gift to give to you. I learned from the water monster, a ring made of stars and shells.” Arecio said slowly. He tried his cheeks, and it turned out to be hot. It’s him. I want to give someone a gift for the first time.
“Do not laugh!”
“I didn’t, I’m very happy.”
The saint replied gently, indeed in a very good tone, and Alessio felt that he was also less shy. His deep rosy eyes stared at the second close to zero.
When the time jumped to zero, Arecio took a deep breath and said congratulations on the Day of Resurrection.
“Congratulations, you are still alive.”
This is a congratulatory message from the deceased kin to the human beings who are still alive. Arecio is really happy that the neuropathy is still alive. What he fears most is not waking up in a completely strange world after ten thousand years, but when waking up, neuropathy Already separated from him by life and death.
That’s too bad, but it’s good now.
It’s great now.
“…”
“Ruzius?”
“…I’ll go back soon, about an hour.”
The communication is hung up, Arecio is a little inexplicable. It takes about ten minutes to get from the center to home at most. Is this one hour of neurosis a bit too long? and……
Arecio heard a thunder outside, and then a heavy rain poured down. The rose in the rain bloomed with a heavy petal, red and white, lightly dazzled by the cool breeze in the rain.
Arecio decided to pick up the neuropathy. He took the umbrella device and changed into a waterproof coat by the door, a little helpless.
Really, I still need my father to pick you up.
With the sound of thunder, the saint walked alone on the promenade with French windows. He looked out the window, amidst a dim rain curtain, the waves of the emerald inner sea were undulating. His expression reflected on the glass seems to be slightly different from the past, and he himself has noticed this, and adjusted it slightly, and he is the same as before.
He kept coming to the central area where Hitomi was. It was reported with the staff, and the staff knew that he and Arecio were resuscitators who had been treated differently by Hitomi, and they were released after reviewing them.
Finally, he stood under that star-sized eye pupil. As the carnival was approaching, Hitomi seemed to be very happy too, and little virtual fireworks were placed around him. He felt the arrival of the saint, the fireworks stopped, and his pupils turned past.
The saint lifted the smile on his face and greeted softly.
“You look very happy.”
“Habitat.”
