Chapter 44 16. Human Kaleidoscope

Overlooking the Zhiliang Amusement Park from a small hill, what seems to be an oil painting of a lunatic spread out under the eyes.The painting is full of scenes of different shapes and colors, which is really dizzying.The scene presented by the continuous rotation of the large kaleidoscope is both terrifying and beautiful. The two floating hot air balloons should refer to the sun and the moon respectively. They are hung on the east and west sides of the venue, and colorful paper is scattered from above, turning into strands of rain. The fireworks exploded non-stop, countless paper balls exploded in the air, and colorful paper snowflakes flew all over the sky.

Among them, the giant Ferris wheel painted with red paint looks like a windmill in the kingdom of giants.The skyscraper, which resembles the twelfth floor of Asakusa, hangs thousands of national flags in the venue, and bright red flags stick out from every window and flutter in the wind, like a flame burning. The dome of the Panola Horse Pavilion, painted red and blue like a child's toy.And the looming purple object beyond the woods is the big concrete whale. Underground, the fish in the aquarium and the living dolls in hell bliss each show their crazy side, dancing out of control. Apart from these dazzling decorations and colors, as well as the sound of fireworks accompanied by taiko drums, the music seems to destroy the entire Zhiliang Amusement Park, and the deafening continuous sounding.

Under the hills in the distance, in the forest, near the windows of buildings, and by the pool, there are several or dozens of band members, like poisonous mushrooms, wearing brightly colored hats such as red, yellow, and blue, playing hard. Nostalgic decadent music. The hills stretched to the track far away from the ground, and the three guests dressed in clown clothes of colored balls came by the wind on a boat-like slide. In the pouring colorful snowflakes, riding on the melodious music, the sliding platform either falls sideways, reverses, or rolls forward, slides, tosses, and sprints at a breathless speed.The gold and silver clothes covered with colored balls and the hair of the female guests flew into a line behind.

"Painful, help!" The wind blew away the screams, and the boat reached the end of the track in an instant, and the guests were thrown onto the sand before they could react.The three balls of gold and silver meat were immediately covered in sand. "Oh, welcome. I have been waiting for you for a long time." When he came back to his senses, the director of the garden, Kitagawa Jiliangemon, was helping the three of them one by one, and dusted off their bodies. "Look, this is the shooting range of Zhiliang Amusement Park. Almost all the guests have arrived, and everyone can shoot cork shells together later. The target is the doll on the opposite hill."

In front of him is a huge but old cannon with wheels, which is colorfully decorated. Next to the cannon is a mountain of balls made of cork balls.On the opposite hill, under the white sky, stood ten dolls side by side. "Oh, that's very creative. Use a cork ball about the size of a football to shoot down a straw doll. So, what's the prize? At the shooting range in Asakusa Park, the prizes seem to be bats, Asahi and Shikishima cigarettes." The elder The gentleman asked jokingly. "Prizes? Hahaha, you really know how to plan carefully. Yes, the prizes are very rich, very rich."

Out of tune with the carnival atmosphere, Jiraemon was wearing a police uniform with a bumbling mustache.Even though he was dressed like this, he talked with the guests in a low voice like a waiter, which gave people a feeling of madness. Soon, the second and third air boats slipped down the track one after another, and ten or twenty guests, covered in dust, gradually gathered at the scene. They were all forced to put on performance costumes, but in groups of three or five, each with their own ingenious styles and colors. Some are armor made of colored paper, some are tulle dresses that can see through the whole body, some are palm skirts of native Hawaiians, and some are stylish swimwear that makes people shine. In addition, there are all kinds of colorful and cheap , gaudy but naive makeup.

Among these men and women with exposed breasts and half-exposed buttocks, there is only a man who looks like a heretic, dressed abruptly.The dirty towel on his head was knotted under his nose, he was wearing a fine check kimono with a three-foot obi, the hem of his hips was rolled up and tucked into his belt, and a short knife less than thirty centimeters hung from his waist. "Ah, you have put a lot of thought into it. It is really ingenious to turn a criminal policeman into a thief." Jiraemon, who was wearing a police uniform, clanged his sword and patted Detective Kijima on the shoulder in appreciation.If you don't know, you may think that the real police are arresting the thief.

"Hahaha, are you satisfied? In order to fully integrate into the carnival, I have had a hard time... But Mr. Kitagawa, isn't your cosplay also a pioneering work? You stole my limelight." "Oh, run away quickly, I'm going to hunt you down. Why don't you play a game of officers and soldiers catching robbers, hahaha." The police officer Ji Liangemon said jokingly. In the square, more than a dozen guests gathered around the cork ball cannon, and couldn't help but marvel at it. "Is there anyone who wants to shoot? The guest who shoots down the dolls on the opposite hill with these cork shells will win a big prize." The policeman Ji Liangemon encouraged everyone with a smile on his face.

"I'm coming. I'm a sharpshooter. The shooting range lady in Asakusa Park in Tokyo couldn't help frowning when she saw me." A gentleman stepped forward and walked around behind the cannon. "The cannonball has been filled, just pull down the rope after aiming." Gentleman leaned his eyes on the cannon, aimed at the puppet on the right side of the hill ahead, and pulled the rope like an air gun on a shooting range. After a "boom", he fell to the ground.The recoil of the firing caused the cannon to jerk back. The cork ball shot from the muzzle flew out at a speed invisible to the naked eye, and then hit the chest of the doll on the right with a "boom".

The puppet was knocked down by the ball, fell to the other side of the hill with its feet in the air, and disappeared without a trace.At this time, hundreds of colorful balloons suddenly popped up where the puppet was originally standing, as if the soul of the puppet that had just been shot was lifted into the air.In the next moment, the fireworks celebrating the hit rumbled and crackled among the clouds, and the colorful snowflakes poured down violently.
