Chapter 919 Let the Flowers Bloom
Brother Yang has disappeared for a few 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, and 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 "zodiac" standing not far away.
"Quiet?" I looked around the street, "You mean 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 sign" a few steps away suddenly started to take 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. Such "zodiac signs" are 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 atmosphere is a little strange now? The "upper level" is quiet, the "zodiac" is quiet, and even the "participants" are quiet. It seems that no one is there. What kind of big move is this? Are you waiting for something, or are you 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", which has always been exploring "zodiac signs", has recently stopped betting on "zodiac signs", 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's current situation is like the calm before the storm. It seems that some huge cause and effect is about to happen, and this place will be turned upside down."
Yes, this was Brother Yang's plan. He will 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 has been looking at me and Jiang Ruoxue.
His mask is a bit strange. Although it is called a "man-monkey", it actually has the face of a rotten 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, so 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.
The man-monkey never called 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 "Tama City" has completely failed.
Even if Gu Yu took everything he learned from "Dao City" and "Whirlpool City" and went back to reshuffle the city, 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 or has he been here for many years when he appeared in such a dark alley?
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 flower can't bloom. The surrounding iron wall is too hard." Man-Monkey said, "I still can't break through this hard iron wall, but there is a very beautiful flower inside. If you can't bring out the "flower", can you? I beg you to find a way to bring out the "seed", which is the seed of "hope". 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 are not kidding, are you?" I sighed and said, "That is not our "flower" or our "seed". This iron rod has been with you all the time, but you can't make the flower bloom. Why do you expect others to do it for you after handing it over to outsiders?"
"I have tried all the methods," the monkey said with his head down, "but the flower and the seed are stuck tightly. This hard black iron wall is shrinking inwards. Sooner or later, it will flatten the flower and crush the seed. My thoughts have stopped, but maybe others will think of something I can'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, nor will I let Ruoxue take risks. We have done enough for a magician."
After hearing this, Gu Yu's eyes looked like death, and then he slowly lowered his head.
He should also know how rude his request is. No matter who else in "Yucheng" 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 the End" and the "Zodiac", and took him on this relatively safe road to escape. Now he wants us to go to the "Jade City" to take risks. I will not agree to it this time.
"I'm sorry." The monkey lowered his head with a little disappointment, "I was just imagining it. Thank you."
"What does the flower think?" Jiang Ruoxue suddenly asked on the side.
"Flower?" The 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 facing now has been destined a long time ago."
The monkey sighed deeply and said, "I don't know whether the flower wants to "bloom", but she must want someone to take the seeds away. "
