There was no thunder in the sky, and Wu Xiangwang couldn't call Shang Chong to help him strike Mao Gui with thunder. He could only let him play with bells in the yard.

Fortunately, this strange black and white cat man did not go any further and pounce on him, otherwise he would have given this strange man a kick that he would remember for the rest of his life.

But with this delay, Brother Bin and the little fox girl got on a two-person electric scooter and left together. Wu Xiangwang had no choice but to follow them on his own scooter with Shang Chong, Wang Xiao, and Xiao Lajiao. The matter of clothes would have to wait until they got off the scooter.

The cat-man monsters from the escort team didn't follow. And after Wu Xiangwang and the others left, the black and white cat-man monster lying on the grass suddenly jumped up nimbly and tucked the golden bell into his trouser pocket.

"Second Captain, is this the first time you failed to deliver the bell?" The cats that came with him laughed strangely.

The black and white cat man cast a cold glance at them with his green eyes, instantly silencing the creatures. Then he sneered, "Whether I give her the bell or not, and whether she accepts it or not, the outcome will be the same, won't it?"

"She'll be my meal sooner or later."

"It's boring, let's go back. I hope those humans won't be scared to death by our wanted criminals tonight." The black and white cat man laughed and swung his tail again. "Ah, I should pray that they can return safely from the ball."

After saying this, the black and white cat man turned around and left, and the cat-like creatures that followed him also left.

After they left, Wu Xingyun, who was standing by the third-floor window, turned and spoke to Meng Chang, "I've always felt that those cat men are a bit eerie, but not in a good way. What do you think?"

Meng Chang pushed up his round glasses. "Based on my analysis of various data, let alone those cat men, I don't think anything weird in this entire city is that weird."

Wu Xingyun felt sympathetic: "I hope everything goes well for Brother Wangwang and the others. Tsk, great luck! Great luck!"

Meng Chang: "..." He should just leave this house and go back to his own house!

While Wu Xingyun was diligently applying auspicious buffs to himself and his mushrooms, Wu Xiangwang and the others had already mysteriously walked through three streets with Brother Bin and the little fox girl.

It was then that they realized they didn't need to follow Brother Bin and the little fox girl Weiyi. They could just take a stroll down the street after 7:30 in the evening and follow Weiyi to easily find the location of Jacks's ball.

Because now the streets are almost full of all kinds of weird people dressed in gorgeous clothes, they are obviously going to attend a ball.

This feeling of almost all the weird people in the city coming out made Wu Xiangwang uncontrollably think of the weird carnival in Carnival City, and then he pulled the corner of his mouth -

Isn’t this kind of dance just another kind of city-wide carnival?

Just dancing is obviously much more civilized than the indiscriminate attacks and killings that completely unleash one's nature.

As Wu Xiangwang was thinking this, he saw a few strange creatures with transparent wings behind them, which looked like elves, waving at him and blowing him a kiss.

There was also a strange creature with round ears on its head that threw a big nut at him through the window.

Wu Xiangwang caught the nut steadily, then ruthlessly withdrew his gaze from the outside and complained to Wang Xiao across from him, "This city's weirdness is really too unrestrained."

Little Chili who also looked out but saw nothing: "..."

Wang Xiao pushed his glasses up. "Perhaps the weirdness of this city is more human-like in its aesthetic?"

Wu Xiangwang nodded and then shook his head. "Perhaps their aesthetic taste is more human, but when it comes to the ultimate beauty, there are no limits."

Just like him.

Wang Xiao thought about it for a long time and felt that he had nothing to refute.

Fortunately, at this moment, Shang Chong's voice was heard from the front: "Wangwang! Lao Wang! Little Lajiao, we're here! Get off the bus quickly! Oh my god, there are so many people here... and it's so weird."

When Wu Xiangwang and the other two heard the sound, they looked at each other and jumped down from the carriage. Then Wu Xiangwang understood why Shang Chong paused in the last sentence.

There are indeed a lot of people and weirdness here.

But Wu Xiangwang was sure that what Shang Chong had just blurted out must have meant that there were a lot of "people" here.

Yes, people.

It is obvious that most of the participants in the ball here do not look like humans. They have wings behind them, horns on their heads, claws on their hands and feet, and some even have fur or scales. Even their faces do not have the standard two eyes, a nose and a mouth. But these weird people standing here look like "people" in exquisite masquerade clothes.

They would chat in twos and threes, occasionally let out happy or hearty laughter, nod and greet familiar creatures they saw, and some would even dance briskly in the square in front of this huge banquet hall that looked like a palace.

They all have inhuman appearances, but their every move is very human.

Because of this, Shang Chong felt that there were a lot of people here at first glance.

Wu Xiangwang also discovered that in such an environment, every real adventurer who came here had an expression of ease and slight joy on his face.

There are very few people who still have a look of vigilance in their eyes.

Wu Xiangwang exhaled softly. He swept his eyes across the strange crowd and quickly spotted Brother Bin and Huhu.

At this time, Huhu was happily talking strangely with several other fox girls, and it seemed that he was planning to enter the dance hall with them.

Brother Bin was standing next to Huhu, and he felt a little dizzy because of the strange tails of those fox girls.

Wu Xiangwang sighed and walked towards him. When Brother Bin saw that the beautiful Wu Xiangwang had followed him and Huhu all the way to the ballroom, his first thought was that the beautiful woman wanted him to help take her to the ballroom.

Unfortunately, Huhu can only bring one person a day. He thought that if this beauty begged him and said something nice to him, he could persuade Huhu to bring her to the venue in a few days.

As a result, she waved to him halfway and said when he came over:

"Are you going to go to the ball dressed like this?"

When Brother Bin heard this, he frowned.

"What's wrong with my clothes? A man's charm can't be displayed by clothes alone. A truly charming person is charming no matter what he wears or how he wears it!"

Brother Bin thought Wu Xiangwang was mocking him for only being able to wear work clothes.

The beautiful lady rolled her eyes speechlessly, but didn't waste any words: "The merchant mission requires you to dress appropriately for Jax's ball."

"Look at what you're wearing now, and then look at the weird clothes on those people around you. Do you look like someone going to a dance? Or a handyman?"

When Brother Bin heard this, his expression became serious. He looked around carefully. He was a little worried at first but soon relaxed.

"You women just love to nitpick. The merchant's quest requires 'dress appropriately,' not fancy attire. Look, there are some guys in the weirdo world who are dressed just like ordinary people."

"And look at those people who came along. Aren't most of them also wearing work clothes? Those who aren't wearing work clothes are just wearing ordinary pants and shirts. I think they're not as neat as work clothes."

"Okay, I know you're concerned about me, but you're overthinking it. After I finish the dance tonight, I'll tell you about what I saw and heard tomorrow. If possible, I'll also tell Huhu about it, and then I'll have him bring you here to see the world."

As Brother Bin said this, he waved to Wu Xiangwang and quickly followed the fox girls who were calling him to come in. It was so weird, and he did it so quickly that Wu Xiangwang didn't even have time to say what he wanted to say.

Only after seeing Brother Bin enter the venue did Wu Xiangwang curse under his breath.

Never mind. It's not worth reminding me about such a disgusting thing.

However, he still wanted to go and see what was going on at the ballroom.

"Wangwang, what did you say to that guy? Why does he look like he deserves a beating?"

Shang Chong walked over and said, "Those weirdos are taking their people in one by one. What should we do? Go ask those weirdo guards where to buy tickets?"

"It's a pity that we don't have anyone with hearing abilities in our team. Otherwise, if we could find a quiet spot near a wall, we might be able to hear what's happening at the ball."

Little Pepper nodded in agreement. "Actually, there are people with clairvoyance, but it's a pity that guy was also recruited to the Dragon Fang Group."

Wang Xiao adjusted his glasses and said, "Without basic data, I can't make an accurate judgment. In this case, we can only try our best to inquire and gather information from the outside."

After Wang Xiao finished speaking, he looked at Wu Xiangwang, only to see this beautiful woman who was disguised too perfectly reveal a subtle and somewhat complacent smile.

"Who said we can only gather information in the outer hall?"

"I have special voyeuristic skills."

Wang Xiao blinked, and Little Lajiao showed a surprised expression. Only Shang Chong's eyes lit up instantly: "Dad! Dad, I knew you could do anything!"

Wu Xiangwang waved his hand dismissively at him. "Alright, just ask outside how to buy dance tickets and how much they cost, and then ask about that A-level wanted criminal. In short, ask whatever you can. The weird things here won't hurt anyone openly even if they don't want to answer."

"I'm going to secretly take a look at the ball and try to bring back as much useful information as possible."

After discussing their respective responsibilities, Wu Xiangwang found a dark corner where no one was around. He carefully observed that there was no one else around and no strange creatures around, so he took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

The light that burst out in the sea of consciousness was from the first fierce black and white creature that particularly liked to shake. A moment later, the beauty in the dark corner disappeared out of thin air, and then there appeared a big mosquito that could not speak but could only buzz, and was slightly larger than the strange mosquito here...

Real mosquito.

Wu Xiangwang really never thought that there would be a day when he would willingly turn into a mosquito, but... forget it, after he turned into a mosquito, it would be even more impossible for anyone to see him or recognize him.

I just forgot to stuff my clothes into the snail shell backpack before transforming.

The mosquito in the air circled around its clothes regretfully, and then flew towards the dance hall over there with all its might.

Three minutes later.

Mosquitoes forget each other: "...buzz buzz buzz fuck!"

Only after actually flying did he realize that distance is a big problem when he gets smaller! He missed his long legs!

After flying for ten minutes, Mosquito finally arrived at the entrance of the ballroom that looked like a castle.

He flew carefully into the door, sticking to the highest edge of the door, and was thankful that the two weird creatures guarding the door were not frogs or toads.

After entering the venue, you will directly arrive at the spacious and magnificent hall.

At this time, cheerful and lively tunes were ringing in the hall. It seemed that the first opening dance of the ball had already begun.

In order to ensure his own safety, Mosquito Xiangwang did not dare to fly to the center of the dance floor. He found the gorgeous crystal chandelier with intricate patterns in the center of the ballroom, carefully stopped on one of the crystals, and then quietly watched the dancing people and the strange scene below.

At this time, nothing terrible happened in the dance party as Wu Xiangwang had guessed. Wu Xiangwang even saw Brother Bin happily dancing with the little fox girl in a strange way.

Even though he was wearing work clothes, he was very cheerful and not affected at all. Wen Xiangwang couldn't help rubbing his thin legs.

So is it really because he is too picky about words?

As he was thinking this, the cheerful dance music in the hall gradually stopped.

The first opening dance is over.

Then, Mosquito Xiangwang suddenly discovered that the people left in the center of the hall were all human adventurers wearing work clothes.

There are about forty people in total.

Wu Xiangwang rubbed his mosquito legs nervously. This seemed not right.

At this time, the more than 40 human adventurers standing among all the monsters seemed to have discovered the problem. They couldn't help but want to walk out of the center circle, but found that they were surrounded tightly by the monsters.

"Why are you all surrounding us? The dance is over." A male adventurer spoke nervously.

Brother Bin, who was happy just now, was now shocked and covered in cold sweat!

Because he found that almost all the people left in the center were wearing work clothes!

The reminder to never forget each other suddenly rang in his mind at this moment.

No, no!

These weirdos won't kill them just because they're wearing work clothes!

However, Brother Bin soon heard a sharp voice: "How dare you come to the dance dressed like this? Are all of you humans so shameless?!"

"That's just too ugly! Who dances in dirty, ugly work clothes? This is simply a disgrace to Jax's dance!"

"Punish them!"

“Punish them!!”

Then almost all the weirdos began to say in unison: "Punish them!!"

When those non-human eyes that had been smiling before dropped their disguise and released their true malice, the adventurers surrounded by hundreds or even thousands of eyes were staring at them and their hearts sank.

Then an old voice sounded:

"Yes, they must be punished."

"But we are all friendly monsters to humans and won't fight or kill. So let's punish them by making them work in the kitchen and vegetable garden."

"They will be of greater value there."

Then all the weirdness gave way, but it was not a road that allowed people to leave, but a weird road leading to the white-haired man in a tuxedo who looked like a butler.

Brother Bin gritted his teeth and didn't want to leave. He always felt that he would never be able to come back after leaving.

But under so many strange gazes, he couldn't resist at all. In the end, he could only go towards the strange old butler with the other forty or so people.

At this time, Mosquito Xiangwang on the crystal chandelier rubbed its legs and began to flap its wings to fly towards that side.

Buzz buzz buzz.

Buzz buzz buzz.

But as he was flying, he felt like something was wrong.

Why does the sound of the wings flapping sound a bit uneven?

He listened carefully again.

Buzz buzz buzz.

Buzz buzz buzz.

Mosquito forgets: "Fuck?!!"

Mosquito Xiangwang suddenly turned his head to his left, and next to him was a white mosquito that was a circle bigger than him. It was so weird!

What was even more terrible was that Mosquito Xiangwang found that the big mosquito was still flying around him up and down, and finally it even stretched out one of its thin mosquito legs very gracefully, as if inviting him to dance.

Mosquito forgets: "..."

That's not possible, this dance party doesn't even let mosquitoes go?!
