Chapter 16 Chapter 15 The City Without Tears

On the evening of March 2nd, after eating a delicious Brazilian barbecue, due to the owner's carelessness, the two poor ghosts ran away with the order.Phoenix and Coyote ran to the famous Copacabana Beach for a walk.Tomorrow is the grandest parade of God's Parade, and all non-human races can be seen appearing.The mountain dog thought that everything would come to light, and was in a good mood, so he pulled Fenghuang to look at the scenery: "Look, there are children playing beach volleyball over there." Sure enough, a large group of children were dressed in beachwear, their young and healthy bodies were dancing wildly for a simple ball, and they looked so energetic.Among them, there are a few black children with good figure, and they even have abdominal muscles at a young age! !Fenghuang was immediately intoxicated, and nodded his head: "Ah, so cute."

It's cute when it's in motion, but it's not necessarily bad when it comes to fighting.In order to snatch a ball, the two children suddenly wrestled with each other. Boys fight is a necessary stage in childhood.Children who win often will have more confidence in life from now on.That's the first male wrestling, full of growth energy. This is a very common scene, and the mountain dog is watching it with a smile on the side, and is planning to make a bet with the Phoenix to see if the taller one will have the upper hand, or the stronger one will have a better chance of winning.

However, the fight never really broke out. The child who was pushed to the ground was yelling angrily, but suddenly, he stopped talking and stood still numbly.The slow changes of expression were vividly presented on his face one by one, from resentment, to bewilderment, to numbness, and finally, there was a strange smile — just like the eternal smile painted on the mask in a puppet show. A smile, cheerful but dull.Fenghuang shivered, and grabbed the mountain dog: "What is he doing?" And that's just the beginning.That treacherous smile seemed to be contagious, and the surroundings gradually became dead silent. The children were all standing there blankly.

Turning his eyes to other people, the mountain dog began to feel that the situation was serious, and the crowd who were watching were also infected.A dozen or so children who were supposed to be huddling together, laughing and boisterous, and tourists walking happily, all looked at each other politely, silently, exactly the same for only a few minutes before and after.Fenghuang's face turned pale, and he quickly took out the mirror to see if he was of that virtue, and murmured: "What's going on here." Beach volleyball continues, but the original boom has disappeared.The movements are still so agile, but the expression is extremely dead.

The infection continues, and tourists on the beach are turning into puppets one by one. Fenghuang grabbed the mountain dog, soared into the sky, and flew straight into the city.Step by step, their worst guesses are matching reality.On the streets, on balconies, in squares, in stores, in stadiums, all kinds of people, as if there was a tide sweeping across the streets of Rio de Janeiro, gradually washing away their unique expressions, The rest of the templated weird appearance filled all the space as far as the eyes could see. They didn't stop running wildly for half a day until it was confirmed that no one was spared. The mountain dog held Fenghuang's hand tightly and said in a low voice, "This is like a movie I've seen." Turning 160 degrees, for fear that some hideous thing would pounce on it, he responded, "Night of the Living Dead?" He gently pressed his body to the coyote: "They don't know how to bite people, do they?"

If biting is a cause for concern, Phoenix can breathe a sigh of relief.After a period of observation, people ate, drank, slept, went to work and slept, and all their lives were as usual, and they did not suddenly show any special interest in human flesh or human blood.Life is so peaceful, unsettlingly peaceful.Parents stopped punishing their children, spectators watching football matches kept quiet and never made noise, and the victim girl who was robbed got up from the ground with a lively smile on her face and a peaceful attitude.And the tourists who entered Rio City with great enthusiasm to participate in the world's most wonderful carnival actually slept in hotels all day long.They didn't lose anything tangible, but they lost all emotion.

mood.Joy, anger, sorrow and hatred, love and hatred.Joy is pleasure, impermanence is suffering. Fortunately, all of this seems to be a matter of the human world, and the carnival of the non-human world is still going on. This parade dispatched the most species in history, and the phoenix was dazzled.She found members of her family in the parade, and rushed to recognize her relatives, but was knocked out by the mouse Tianshi who was in charge of maintaining order, and disappeared after a second look.As for the earthworm tribe that the coyotes were looking for, they were nowhere to be found. Could it be that they were all late?I went around like this for two days, of course, mainly because the two of them were too playful, and they played in a daze for two days, until the third night, when it was rumored that the closing performance would be held in the Botanical Garden of Rio City, Coyote thought, If he didn't seize the opportunity and turned around, he would really not be able to climb up the dome of the Paris National Opera House by himself.Pull up Phoenix, and hurried to the botanical garden.

The Rio Botanical Garden is one of the most important botanical research centers in South America.In the past few years, a number of new botanical discoveries have been released to the world, with a very high scientific status.The American Hunters Alliance has always suspected that there are undiscovered sugar-loving earthworms stationed there, but every time they request an investigation, they are unconditionally rejected by the management of the botanical garden. The reason is to believe in the determination and courage of human beings. Provocative, determined not to search for you, no matter how long-winded I muster the courage to hit you.

After people turned into puppets, no one came to the usually lively botanical garden.It was quiet inside and outside the garden, and there was no receptionist at the door.Is the news accurate?Fenghuang looked around: "It's not wrong, I've seen the schedule." Entering the door, you can see a road leading directly to the central fountain, which is so uneven and majestic, with king palm trees planted on both sides, with dense branches and leaves, lush and green, and each leaf stretches out for several meters, full of momentum.The two of them looked around and were about to walk over when they suddenly heard a strange voice shouting from above: "Sign up!! What kind of clan is it?"

It turns out that the palm tree can talk!The mountain dog immediately took reassurance that he knew who was in charge of the closing performance.Apart from sugar-loving earthworms, what other species can do such a messy thing! The phoenix is ​​very well-behaved, and immediately reported its name and species. There was a noise in the palm tree, probably because it passed the inspection. Immediately, a shiny iris orchid rushed up and stuffed a king lotus seed in her paw. The lotus seed was exquisite and emerald green. Clear like emeralds.Iris Orchid explained slowly: "Don't lose this, your seat." Fenghuang was anxious: "Hey, I have gained weight recently, this one is a bit smaller." They ignored her.Turning around to greet Mountain Dog: "Hurry up, come in, the big troops are behind, we will be very busy after a while." Mountain Dog is naive, and he is going to follow Fenghuang, and the two big trees in front of him quit : "Wait, which species are you from? You look strange, like a human, and humans are not allowed to enter."

Talking without practice is not the style of King Palm.As soon as the words fell, a big leaf hung down on the left and right, and captured him with a simple method of making rice dumplings. The mountain dog thought that this was bad, and he would not be buried under the tree as fertilizer.But I heard Dawang Palm talking to himself: "No, this is not a human, nor is it a non-human. What is this?" Fenghuang was elated, and had already gone inside, but when he heard this, he jumped back, over-excited, and even fell to the ground: "Not a human? Not a non-human?" She got up and patted the mountain dog's head: "You can't be an earthworm and they made it out of a ball of tofu brain?" Of course, such a serious problem of identification cannot be solved by talking nonsense.Iris is very serious and responsible. With a whistle, a lot of yellow dwarf thorns came up and surrounded the mountain dog, saying: "You stay still, I will find an expert." The mountain dog said very unconvinced: "Huh, I just jumped out." Thorn flaunted the thorns on his body, and reminded: "Not necessarily, we all brought fluorescent balsam flower juice injection sacs, once you get infected, it's useless to run anywhere. We have brothers chasing you." If you offend thorns, you will not go up the mountain in this life.Since it's so powerful, let's just wait obediently. It didn't take long, and a hundred-eyed worm came after a while. This worm was covered in green hair and was chubby.The body is not big, but there are a lot of eyes, each with double eyelids, autumn water pupils, black and white, twinkling, looking at the universe, and seeing every detail.It climbed in front of the mountain dog, and was not in a hurry. It showed its scholarly demeanor, and first took out its own glasses—there were at least a hundred of them, and put them on one by one for more than ten minutes. The dog took a closer look, then looked again, and said "hey": "It's rare, it's really rare, there are still in the world?" Fenghuang hurriedly approached: "Is it a human? He should be a human, just a black spot." Hundred Eyes glanced at her and shook his head: "He is only half a human, and the other half is a dead soul." half human. Half are dead souls. For the mountain dog, these nine words are more powerful than the Buddha's motto to suppress Sun Wukong, blasting him to the size of two heads, and his eyes are full of golden flowers.Such an astonishing effect is also related to the fact that he was thrown out of the botanical garden with the concerted efforts of several king palm trees.An expert on the worm said that although his half-human, half-ghost thing does not belong to humans, it violates God's definition of life, so it does not belong to non-humans. The conclusion is: you can't go in to watch the show. Whether you watch the performance or not, it is definitely not a decent blow in the face of major life questions. Wiping the ashes off his face, the coyote sat listlessly against the wall of the botanical garden.Startled. The world suddenly became very quiet.Every molecule is a problem. He looked at his hands, "You are the product of the combination of a human being and a dead soul with spiritual power. Usually everything is the same as human beings. If you are extremely angry or frightened, your body will lose weight and color, and become translucent. Ordinary objects can't touch you. And the bones of the people you attack will soften or the blood will evaporate and lose." The hundred-eyed worm has lived for countless years and seen countless things, so slowly, so unquestionable. What kind of situation can be imagined, the only thing I can't imagine is that I am not a human being. Biological parents who have never met, and one of them is not human. All premises do not exist, and all conclusions are empty talk. He felt so cold that he couldn't help shivering in the 23-degree warm wind in Rio de Janeiro.Even if there is a gentle embrace tightly surrounding him, and the cold skin is covered with gentle feathers, it can't make his heart that is gradually sinking to the bottom feel a little better. The one embracing him is Phoenix. Instead of going to the show, she flew out of the fence and leaned over to wrap the mountain dog in her arms.The mountain dog lowered its head, as if it had lost its breath, and the skin all over its body became icy cold unconsciously.After a long time, he wiped his nose, the muscles on his face twitched, and forced a smile to her: "You are not afraid of me." She patted his head comfortingly: "Fool, I wasn't afraid of you when you were human, and even less so when you were half." Snuggling up and sitting outside the wall, the sound of extremely beautiful music faintly came from the botanical garden.The show begins.Almost all non-human races are in it. Fenghuang said softly: "I'll let you in. We must find the earthworms." The venue for the closing commendation is located in one of the most famous spots in the Rio de Janeiro Botanical Garden: Wang Lian Pond. A few days ago, the lake was empty, and now a huge Brazilian iron tree appeared out of thin air, wide enough for dozens of people to hug.The straight trunk pierced into the sky until it reached a height that could not be discerned by the naked eye, and the sound of silk and bamboo floated faintly from above. This is the masterpiece of the sugar-loving earthworms. The Brazilian iron tree was planted in the lake a few days in advance, and it grew wildly at a speed of hundreds of meters per day until it disappeared into the sky.After stopping the vertical growth, it germinates from the highest top to produce a single leaf, which is perfectly round, three kilometers in diameter, and concave inward at 30 degrees. Buyunbirds collect clean rain clouds from all over the world, concentrate rain on this leaf, and gather it into another beautiful lake.The earthworms improved the precious sixteen-petalled night lotus, making it bloom without roots in the lake, with purple petals and golden stamens shining brightly, serving as the base of the stage.There are countless blue water plants tangled around this base, as decoration and foil. The audience enters through the gate, and after confirming their identity, they will get a Wang Lianzi. When they arrive at the lake, they will see countless long-hanging female dills with one end entwined with the iron tree and the other end hanging around the lake. Like a cable car, visitors will be guided to the top of the tree.Once the Wang Lianzi in their hands is thrown into the water, it will immediately expand into a small green rosette, fixed in one place by the colorless and extremely strong aquatic plants at the bottom of the lake, sitting on it comfortably, just in time to sing and dance on the viewing platform, which is pleasing to the eye. The butterflies performed for the party, and the eight-tone stick insects were responsible for playing the music.Nine thousand beautiful butterflies with a human head and a butterfly body are three-dimensionally combined into costumed figures according to their different colors, and even the eyebrows, eyes and hair tips are lifelike. They are performing the entire dance drama "Madame Butterfly".The mysterious eight-tone stick insects are all hidden under the lotus seat, and they did not show up, which is exactly the magic of the hero behind the scenes. These two clans belong to the family of singing and dancing music in the non-human world. They have always been in opposite directions and do not cooperate with each other. Now they have the opportunity to join forces and appear on the stage. However, the most perfect story has no ending. When the most beautiful aria "Ah, that bright day" was played, the beauty butterflies with flower tails twirled in the air in an infinite and graceful dance, and there were countless cheers in various languages. When it will explode from all directions.From the sky above the Lotus Stage, there was a loud cry, and everyone was shocked. When they looked up, they found a big bird flying by, leaving a person falling at a high speed like a meteor. There were two flying lizards in the auditorium. He jumped up into the air to intercept it, but the opponent was coming too fast, not only failed to intercept him, but he was also thrown into the water. With a bang, the man hit the stage with his whole body. A butterfly's spring dream was smashed to the wind, and it scattered immediately.This time, all the moviegoers were pissed off, especially some star fans. After a hard time, it took only one or two hundred years to see a performance of the eight-tone stick insect. What's the matter with this dry land meteor?At the moment, they were flying or crawling, trying to grab the culprit and beat him to the ground.But when it comes to the degree of madness, it is none other than the three little earthworms who broke up with the coyote in Paris: silver gray, green green and pink. Farewell to Paris, the three earthworms wandered around for a while, which greatly surpassed the addiction to secular fireworks.Especially Yinhui, put Qinglu Yinxin into his arms, if there is no accident, he can escape from the nightmare of being an elder from now on.However, if you don't become an elder, it doesn't mean that you don't do any work, just like they appear here, not just for sightseeing, their role is very important, they are the stage director of the show. As a director, I can't leave the performance site even for a moment, so I have been stationed in the corner of the lotus.At the beginning of the turmoil, they rushed out, glanced in the air, and already felt that the person who came was familiar, and in a hurry, they threw the storage gourd rope, and wrapped the person in the gourd before many non-human fanciers stepped forward. They dragged it back, and made a decisive decision, they rolled down the iron tree together, hid in a clump of Nepenthes, listened to countless non-human patrols and searched in vain, and then left each other cursing. As soon as the wind calmed down, Yinhui immediately turned his face, dragged the mountain dog over and used his old fists first, and said angrily: "How did you run out, did you make a mistake, our whole family was exhausted and collapsed before fixing the lotus platform. Your big ass is sitting down." The mountain dog didn't care about pleading, grabbed it with its backhand, and yelled with an expression of not letting go: "Give me back the memory, give me back the memory, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up." The two sentences were repeated again and again, recreating the aftermath of the sound that shook the Sahara back then.Yin Hui was taken aback.Bilu had been keeping her head out to monitor the movement, but she also shrank back now.Sighing for a long time, he said, "Let's pay back, we can escape the first day of junior high school, but we can't escape the fifteenth day." This sentence is very strange, but no one pursued it.At this time, Fenghuang also came to find her. She made a good shot just now, and she was quite proud of herself, but unexpectedly she was immediately targeted as a young man. Among everyone present, Phoenix has the most outstanding ability to run long distances, so the other three worms collectively passed a resolution that she close her eyes, grab a random earthworm and bring it back to Qinglu, and then take the frozen mountain dog memory. return.The situation was urgent, and the decision was made swiftly and resolutely. One side made a final decision, and the other side was executed immediately. In a blink of an eye, Phoenix disappeared into the slightly blue skyline with a pink hanging.From a distance, I heard Tao Hong anxiously asking: "Don't let go, don't let go, wait a minute, I'll hang a dogtail grass parachute..." No matter how fast the phoenix is, it will take an hour to fly. The mountain dog Pianpian is already looking forward to it, its neck stretched out longer than that of a duck.Yinhui patted the mountain dog, and said angrily: "Can you stop standing there as a watchdog? This outfit, this image, the shape is too bad." The mountain dog turned around and everyone sat for a while.The two gossip earthworms went against the usual practice and remained silent.They couldn't hide anything on their faces, and even the coyotes looked at them for a few minutes, and felt that they were very ulterior motives.So I had nothing to say and asked, "You guys were invited by Brother Zhu to protect me. Are you familiar with me?" Yinhui nodded: "We are very familiar, and he had a close relationship with Pohun Dadan at that time, we dare not refuse." The mountain dog was very depressed: "How did I lose my memory? Did brother Zhu really hit me with a whip? Why did he beat me? Did I kill many hunters back then?" The earthworms obviously couldn't resist these questions. They hesitated for a long time, and the green dog jumped over the wall anxiously and said, "Hey, we don't know. You can ask the Bruta beast, maybe they know." The baluda beast, the mountain dog, has never been seen alive before. It is said that since the establishment of the alliance, only Brother Zhu has caught one and brought it back, and a big incident happened in the end.For this ceremony, they are responsible for the security work of arranging the closing performance. Anyone who dares to trespass on the scene and cause trouble will be sanctioned immediately: they will not be allowed to wake up from nightmares for two weeks. Accompanied by earthworms, the coyotes sneaked up to the Brazilian iron tree standing in Wanglian Lake. As far as they could see, they could see a circle of spiral gray mist surrounding the tree trunk, frozen.As soon as it got close, the mist swirled rapidly as if spiritually, rising and shrinking suddenly, like a devil wanting to devour someone, and the situation changed indistinctly.A hoarse voice, as if speaking with great effort, asked word by word: "Who is it? The audience? The performance is over." The silver-gray earthworm stepped forward to greet him: "Master Bruda, this is the mountain dog from the Eye of the Sahara. In the past, your people were entrusted by Brother Pig to protect him with us. Remember?" The voice should not be heard, and there is still an empty and intangible appearance in front of my eyes.Only the cloud of gray mist was constantly changing shape, and it took a long time before he said slowly: "I remember. Has he recovered his memory?" Just like a long drought and sweet rain, short of money to go to a pawn shop, the coyote plopped and jumped a few times, excitedly rushed up and made a deep bow: "Old man, please tell me, how did I lose my memory? Brother Pig Why do you want to protect me?" The gray mist suddenly stopped.The voice said calmly: "Brother Pig made you lose your memory in exchange for heart vines, and agreed that the earthworms will try their best to restore you after a few years. The reason for protecting you is because the Hunter Alliance hunted you down. As for why, we didn't ask." Asking who doesn't know, the mountain dog felt that his brain was hurting like hell, so he couldn't help squatting down and hugging his head.The strange expressions on the faces of the earthworms became more and more intense, and the green was hesitant to speak many times, it was really a silver tooth, and when it finally couldn't bear it, a clear whistle brought a big bird, so he breathed a sigh of relief , said to his brother: "Hey, it takes a lot of courage to expose your privacy." Yin Hui agreed, and added a comment: "Especially when there is no benefit." They still have time to conduct self-psychological analysis. The sufferer himself has already plunged into it, and there is a bit of panic in anticipation. I really feel sorry for him, let alone earthworms.As soon as Tao Hong landed on the phoenix's paw, she let out a long breath, and murmured: "Flying at high altitude without protection is not worth promoting. I'm so frightened." Turning around, the mountain dog was staring directly at its arms The clumsy thing in his arms could almost spurt open flames from his eyes.It quickly pointed at Phoenix: "It's hooked on its paws, don't look at me like that, I'll burn myself." The mountain dog was very cautious: "Then what are you holding?" It looks like a ball of catkins. Although the storage volume is small, it is fluffy and huge when unfolded. It is probably used for air rescue.When the mountain dog saw it, it turned around and left, grabbing Fenghuang: "Where's my memory?" This round-trip flight cost a lot of money. Fenghuang was undoing the two buttons under his neck to fan the wind. He was not evenly breathing. Hearing the mountain dog's inquiry, he replied: "I didn't see it in my memory, but I have a new brain." Throwing a capped crystal bowl casually, there was indeed something like a pig's brain inside.Good quality, red and tender. The mountain dog was ecstatic, holding it carefully, and flew past Yinhui, asking how to eat to replenish his brain. Before leaving, he never forgot to tell Fenghuang: "Button it up, and it's gone." According to Yin Hui, this group of things that look like pig brains are really pig brains. They have nothing to do with the coyotes' memories. It needs to be transferred to the same type of storage environment.They tried the brains of various animals, and found that pig brains had the most appetite for coyotes' memories. Such comments were merciless, but the mountain dog didn't care too much. He consciously lay on the ground early in the morning, blinking his big eyes, waiting for another precision craniotomy to start.The three earthworms didn't know what was wrong. They looked at each other for a long time, and finally had no choice. They waved their tails and said, "Let's do it. Stretch out your head and cut it, and retract your head." From the corner of his eyes, he caught a glimpse of the coyote stretching his neck a little more, and explained: "No Talk about you." Yin Hui sighed, and handed a bright red seed to his mouth with its tail curled up: "Eat it, Nine Turns Poppy Seed, it's an anesthetic."
