Chapter 87: Colorful City 16: Love for too long without response will become tiring...
The right wing of the Holy Light Castle is Papa's territory. From the first floor to the third floor, the number of puppets gradually increases as the floors go up. They stand closely together against the wall, like ghost shadows in the empty castle in the middle of the night.
An Rao and Bai Chuan were like a couple immersed in love, walking in the castle tightly hugging each other, their eyes revealing infinite love for each other. In this rare quiet night, they enjoyed the fun of adventure wantonly - like a carnival and rebellion before death.
"Do you think these puppets will come out to stop us?" An Rao buried his head in Baichuan's chest and asked in a low voice.
"No," Baichuan hugged his beautiful and fragile lover tightly in his arms, and answered in the same soft voice, "He cherishes love and pity so much that he will never let the dolls disturb us. What he wants to harvest is the purest pink and blue."
Indeed, in the horror atmosphere of the castle, it is difficult for players to generate emotions of love and pity. Although Papa is a monster that harvests emotions, he actually does not understand human emotions. Terror and fear can be created, but love and pity cannot be created. And now he finds that An Rao and Bai Chuan can actually generate extremely pure love and pity together. Papa will certainly not let go of these two excellent hens that lay golden eggs, and by drugging An Rao he can harvest An Rao's love and Bai Chuan's pity at the same time. Since Papa has made such a good plan, he will definitely not let the puppets disturb them and cause the pure emotions to be polluted.
"Besides, there will be a full moon tomorrow, so he should be very busy."
"That makes sense," Anrao wrapped his arms tightly around Baichuan's waist and whispered intimately in his ear, "Let's get started."
As soon as she finished speaking, An Rao held Bai Chuan's face and kissed him deeply, and Bai Chuan did not show any weakness and responded to An Rao's kiss without giving in.
The two stumbled, their four legs entangled with each other, and they stumbled. Baichuan pressed Anrao against the door where there was no doll and kissed him. Anrao, not to be outdone, took the initiative and pressed Baichuan against another door. It was like a war of equal strength. One door after another, the two kept trying to open it under the cover of their lover's body, and finally they both fell into a room.
"Bang." The two men fell to the ground, but even though they were caught off guard, Baichuan still held An Rao tightly in his arms and prevented him from falling to the ground. An Rao's body had now become so puppet-like that it could not withstand any collision.
"Oh my God, what is this?" An Rao quickly climbed up from Bai Chuan and looked ahead in shock with wide eyes.
When Baichuan heard An Rao's exclamation, he immediately turned over and stood up. Even someone like him who was usually calm and composed was shocked by the scene before him and was speechless for a moment.
What they saw before them was a huge morgue, with mummies standing in an orderly manner. Their skin was pale and dry. They looked expressionlessly at the two people who had "accidentally" broken into the room, as if they were very dissatisfied with their behavior of disturbing their peace.
What surprised the two men the most was the hair of these corpses. Each corpse had pure and flawless snow-white hair without a single black hair mixed in. Whether it was long hair, short hair, curly hair, or straight hair, all were snow-white.
"What on earth does this monster want to do by collecting corpses?"
An Rao and Bai Chuan stared blankly at the scene in front of them, almost losing the ability to think.
"They are corpses, why aren't they made into puppets?"
"Let's go in and take a look." Baichuan said.
"Let's go in and take a look?!" An Rao stared at Bai Chuan in disbelief. "It's a forest of corpses. Let's go in and take a look?"
"This is a rare opportunity, and we don't have much time," Kashiwa explained with rare patience, "They are just corpses."
Just a corpse...?
Theoretically, corpses are dead objects and will not cause any harm to living people, but logic is logic. Now he is asked to walk into a forest made of corpses like taking a walk in the woods under the moonlight?
As expected, this guy has a very strong inhuman aura. You must stay away from him after leaving the Colorful City!
An Rao was lost in thoughts, while Bai Chuan had already raised his foot and strode into the forest of corpses. His black robe fluttered, and he walked out among the pale corpses with the aura of an international supermodel. An Rao hurriedly followed him.
"Most of these corpses are very intact. It is obvious that they died after their emotions were harvested." Baichuan analyzed while observing carefully.
"Humans will always have emotions. Is killing humans really just because of his bad taste?" Kashiwa, who has always been omnipotent, is rarely confused at this moment. Although he previously thought that it was because the monster took human lives lightly, there are really too many corpses here.
"Humans don't have emotions all the time," An Rao said softly as he paced slowly. "Love that goes on for too long without a response will become exhausting, pain that goes on for too long will become numb, sadness that goes on for too long will become indifferent, and sympathy that goes on for too long will become cold."
"Or maybe a sudden surge of emotions can kill someone. Isn't there always such news in society?"
"It's like a rubber band. If you keep it in a certain state all the time, it will gradually lose its elasticity and break." An Rao looked at these pale and lifeless corpses. They were once living people, with their own joys and sorrows, and the things that the people they cared about liked.
Humans are human because they have rich thoughts and emotions. They feel ecstatic when they gain their loved ones and feel pain when they lose their loved ones. They work hard to achieve their goals. They feel angry about social injustice and sad about tragedies that should not have happened. But here, in the colorful city, these complex emotions that make up humans will be drained and deprived - just like the infamous frontal lobotomy.
For the first time, An Rao felt that this peaceful and prosperous city had a horrifying truth that was more terrifying than sucking away human emotions—it would make people no longer human.
Suddenly, a pale and familiar face came into An Rao's sight. It was Brother Shi! An Rao looked at his dry and expressionless face, but the pure red crystal hourglass appeared in front of him.
"Don't be emotional, he's dead." Baichuan seemed to be able to sense An Rao's emotional changes, and pressed An Rao's shoulder to remind him.
"He was such a calm person, but he was killed by his own anger overnight," An Rao stared at Shi Ge's drooping eyes and muttered to himself, "What on earth did that monster use to provoke you, Shi Ge..."
"Strange." Baichuan stood beside An Rao and suddenly frowned and muttered.
"What?"
"Look here," Baichuan pointed to the top of Shi Ge's head and said, "He has lost some hair here."
An Rao hurriedly looked in the direction that Bai Chuan pointed, and sure enough, there was a tuft of hair missing from the top of Brother Shi's snow-white, bright corn-curled short hair. He couldn't be sure about the hair of the other corpses, but he was sure that it was Brother Shi's hair. This tuft of hair must have been pulled out before, and the amount was not small, far more than the little bit that Brother Shi had hidden in the crack of the chair before!
"Let's go check out the other players!" An Rao quickly began to check the bodies of other players around him. A strange premonition kept rising in his heart. The truth seemed to be just ahead, waiting for him to uncover.
Next to Brother Shi was the lady in blue cheongsam who always liked to make sarcastic remarks about him. Her once beautiful face was deeply sunken, and she had lost her previous pride. She just stared at the ground with her head down, lifelessly. Her flowing wavy hair was like a piece of snow-white silk. Perhaps because her hair quality was exceptionally good, more hair on the top of her head was plucked out than Brother Shi's.
What about the other players?!
At this moment, An Rao no longer cared about his previous fear of walking into the forest of corpses. He kept checking the heads of other players and found that all the players' bodies had some hair pulled out to varying degrees. So where did the pulled out hair go?
"Doctor Lin." Baichuan motioned An Rao to come over.
An Rao quickly ran to Bai Chuan's side and found a carved door on the wall next to Bai Chuan. The door was not hidden and did not seem to be intended to hide anything.
An Rao had just run a few steps and hadn't even caught his breath yet. When he ran to Baichuan to look at the door, his warm breath all spread to Baichuan's neck, making Baichuan clench his fists suddenly. His unexpected body reaction just now made him very wary of this little fox who was teasing people anytime and anywhere.
"Can this door be opened?" The unaware little fox blinked his eyes and asked innocently.
Bai Chuan's Adam's apple rolled several times, and finally he loosened his fist and put his hand on a small round handle on the door: "It should be possible. There is no sign on this door that says it is not allowed to be opened, and it does not involve any of the apprentice rules. It should not trigger death."
Having said that, at the moment before turning the door handle, Baichuan still blocked An Rao tightly.
Baichuan opened the door very gently, and his tall figure blocked the entire door tightly, so that An Rao could not see what was happening in front even if he stretched his neck and stood on tiptoe from behind.
"What's the matter? What's behind the door?" An Rao asked softly, and then he saw the tall figure of Baichuan standing in front of him stiffen slightly.
"What on earth is there?"
"It's a bit strange, come and see for yourself." As he said that, Baichuan turned sideways to make way for An Rao.
