Skull Kingdom
The Skeleton Lady almost laughed out of anger. Seeing that Gu Lin looked like he wanted to draw a clear line between himself and her, she didn't dare to tease him anymore.
The Skeleton Lady said: "Okay, I won't say it anymore. Auntie was wrong."
Gu Lin was not the kind of person who held grudges, and he immediately forgave Aunt Skeleton.
In the last copy, he heard the aunt in the live broadcast room say that those who steal children are human traffickers, but his brother is not a human trafficker.
His brother raised him to be fat and white. Although he couldn't play with him all day long, his brother had to earn money to support the two of them. He even bought him an Ultraman backpack with the money he earned!
Speaking of his brother, Gu Lin began to miss him belatedly.
Everything in the game was new and interesting. After entering the game, Gu Lin made many more friends and many people played with him. He was so immersed in the game that he didn’t even start to miss his brother.
He hasn't seen his brother for four or five days since the last copy.
His brother is usually very busy, and Gu Lin is used to his brother not being able to accompany him all day long. But after not even seeing him for a few days, he became uncomfortable.
Gu Lin was a child at heart, and his emotions came and went. He lowered his head and had no intention of watching the beauty pageant.
When Skeleton Lady saw Gu Lin suddenly become quiet, she couldn't help but look down.
Then I saw the kid raising his little hand and secretly wiping his eyes with the back of his hand.
“…”
Skeleton Lady was stunned.
Is this kid...crying?
It was just a joke, but it was made to cry
Even though he was crying, Gu Lin didn't wail loudly. Instead, he secretly wiped his eyes with his chubby little hands. He looked so pitiful, which made people feel even more tender-hearted.
【Oh my god, why is the little baby crying!】
[Be good, baby, don’t cry, auntie will hug you QAQ]
[Do you miss your brother? You are so young and have been away from your brother for several days. You must miss your brother! [Reward points x100]]
[Our baby is the best. Buy him some milk! [Reward points x100]]
[Buy Ultraman for your child! [Reward points x100]]
The Skeleton Lady thought she had gone too far in her joke and suddenly panicked. Its fingers were only bones, so it couldn't wipe the cub's tears: "Little cutie, auntie was wrong. I shouldn't have said that about your brother. Don't cry."
Gu Lin wiped his eyes with the back of his hand and said in a childish voice, his voice choking slightly: "Zizi misses his brother and wants to go home to find his brother. I haven't seen him for several days."
Skeleton Girl: "..."
The Skeleton Lady had mixed feelings, and was somewhat envious of the little boy's brother.
[I really miss my brother. Can the system also pull my brother in [dream in advance]]
[The baby is so cute, his brother must be very handsome too, I want to see his brother too!]
Gu Lin didn't feel sad for long. His emotions came and went quickly, and he soon recovered.
He didn't cry, but his eyes were red and he wiped away the tears with his little hands before they fell.
His elder brother said that little men shouldn't cry easily, and he listened to his brother very much.
Skeleton Lady heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that the cub was fine, and carried him to the front desk.
There were many skeletons of all kinds at the front desk. When they saw the Skeleton Lady carrying Gu Lin out, they started cheering and screaming.
The double-hat boss, Su Qiao, and Song Ran were crowded in the pile of skeletons, and other players were there too.
Seeing Gu Lin, the big guy in the double-layer hat raised his eyebrows slightly and looked over. Su Qiao and Song Ran waved vigorously at the kid.
When Gu Lin saw them, she immediately waved her hands: "Sister, Brother Mao Mao, Uncle Song Ran!"
The name "Brother Mao Mao" made Skeleton Girl stagger.
Skeleton Lady: "The name 'Brother Mao Mao' is quite unique."
Su Qiao was standing in the audience. Seeing Gu Lin's red eyes and wet eyelashes, as if he had been crying, she was stunned: "Why are Tuanzi's eyes red? Did he cry?"
The big guy in the double hat looked at the kid and frowned.
Song Ran said: "This little ghost was fine when he came, why is he crying?"
It is normal for children to cry, and it is normal for them to cry dozens of times a day, but Gu Lin is not a crybaby.
They had never seen Gu Lin cry before. Even when he played horror games and saw scary ghosts, he was never scared to tears. So, why was he crying now?
The Skeleton Lady held Gu Lin in her arms and glanced at the audience. The boy's voice changed back to a clip-like voice, and he raised his orchid finger:
"The beauty pageant has officially begun. Please move to Black Swamp."
The skeletons were immediately overjoyed and set off for the Black Swamp.
Players:
The beauty pageant is not held here but in Black Swamp. Why not go to Black Swamp from the beginning?
There were too many skeletons, the entire Skeleton Street was filled with skeletons, and the players were immediately pushed forward by the skeletons.
These skeletons are all very crazy and dressed up in fancy clothes. One of them even has a pair of rabbit ears on its head. Apart from their appearance, these skeletons are no different from humans in the normal world.
Song Ran's mind was full of tasks as he sorted out the clues: "All things are conserved, one thing grows while another shrinks. The skeleton is 'shrunk' and the plant is 'grown'. Because the total amount of matter does not change, if one wants to 'grow', it must take it away from somewhere else, causing the other to 'grow'..."
Su Qiao is trying his best to avoid being stabbed by the skeleton: "What are you talking about?"
Song Ran frowned: "The Skeleton Elder said that the source of the curse is related to the Skeleton King. It seems that if we want to break the curse, we must find the Skeleton King."
The Double Hat Boss spoke solemnly: "Tomorrow all players will be transformed into skeletons. If you want to meet the Skeleton King, you must be chosen to be the sacrifice."
"tomorrow"
Song Ran was stunned and looked at the time. Today was already the fifth day on Skull Island.
Tomorrow, the sixth day, all players will be completely transformed into skeletons, and those who do not will be sunk into the Black Swamp.
Song Ran looked at the boss in the double-layer hat and saw that he raised his right hand, and his entire hand had turned into white bones.
"Little devil!"
Song Ran wanted to see if Gu Lin had turned into a skeleton, but by then they had been carried away by the skeletons for a long distance.
There were skeletons everywhere, front, back, left and right, and Gu Lin was nowhere to be seen.
At this time, Gu Lin and the Skeleton Lady were being carried in a wooden sedan by four skeletons that were over two meters tall. It was like riding in a sightseeing bus, and they had a panoramic view of the entire Skeleton Street.
Gu Lin's mood had completely improved. Whenever he saw something new, he would point with a finger, then clap his hands, his face flushed with excitement.
The Skeleton Lady was relieved when she saw that the cub was completely coaxed.
Soon we arrived at the Black Swamp.
The sky was pitch black, like the mouth of an abyss, shrouded in a layer of lingering fog.
The Black Swamp is like an endless Black Sea, and the rose "coastline" is beautiful and blooms brightly and warmly.
The players arrived first, and when they saw Gu Lin coming over in a sedan chair, they couldn't help but gasp.
They are both players, but their treatment is so different.
As soon as Gu Lin got off the sedan chair, he carried his Ultraman backpack on his back, and with his short legs, he ran towards Su Qiao and the other two.
Su Qiao immediately picked him up and pinched his little face: "Tuanzi, were you crying just now?"
When this was mentioned, Gu Lin's face flashed with sadness: "Zizi misses his brother."
All three of them were stunned.
Gu Lin entered the game and kept talking about his brother. It was obvious that he had a deep affection for his brother.
If I had known that the first instance was over, I would have let the kid go home and stay with his brother for two days.
Su Qiao smiled gently and said, "When this instance is over, we will go back with you to find your brother, okay?"
Gu Lin nodded his head, his eyes moist: "Yes, look for my brother!"
*
The beauty pageant officially begins.
Skeletons dressed up in fancy clothes took turns to appear on the stage like a catwalk. There were thirty skeletons in total participating.
The players were stunned.
No matter how you look at it, these skeletons all look pretty much the same and are equally ugly, like a beauty pageant or an ugliest contest.
There is a skeleton with bandages on it.
Song Ran was not interested in the beauty pageant, so he just stared at the skeleton. What kind of performance art is this?
Song Ran: "Why do you have a bandage wrapped around your face?"
The bandaged skeleton had no intention of paying attention to him, but when he saw the little dumpling with them, he started to explain: "I had a plastic surgery before, but the bone cutting was not done properly, so I was disfigured."
Several people: ""
They remembered that there were indeed many beauty salons on Skeleton Street. The Skeleton King valued beauty so much that even skeletons had plastic surgery.
Song Ran: "Take it off and show it to us. Is there anything we can't see?"
Gu Lin nodded his head: "Yes."
Seeing that the kid had spoken, the Skeleton was silent for a moment, then began to remove the bandage on his face.
They were silent for a while, their expressions indescribable.
Skeleton:
Song Ran: "Just keep on pestering me."
Bandaged Skeleton: "..."
Are you polite?
Gu Lin was hungry, and soon two sausages appeared in his two little hands. He ate one in each hand.
Looking at an old skeleton hunched over next to him, I couldn't help but wonder, "Grandpa Skeleton, why are you walking with your back bent?"
When Grandpa Skeleton saw the cub, his eyes lit up and he said in an old voice: "Because Grandpa Skeleton is old."
Gu Lin was even more surprised: "But the mayor I knew before, he is old and he doesn't walk with his back bent."
Grandpa Skeleton: "Then he must be not as old as me."
Gu Lin: "The mayor is old too."
Grandpa Skeleton: "Not as old as me."
Gu Lin: "His face is wrinkled, but yours isn't."
Grandpa Skeleton couldn't help laughing: "Grandpa's face is all bones, why is it wrinkled?"
Gu Lin: "Then your bones aren't wrinkled either."
Skeleton Grandpa: "..."
Okay, you win.
At this moment, a few skeletons in the skeleton audience started fighting because of different perspectives, right next to Gu Lin and the others.
Skeleton fights are particularly brutal, probably because they are immortal and will beat anyone they can't kill to death, with bones clanking and scattering all over the ground.
None of the skeletons nearby went up to try to stop the fight. Instead, they were all making a fuss, clapping and cheering, and some even placed bets on which skeleton would win in the end.
On the other side, music was blasting and a catwalk show was going on simultaneously.
The scene was chaotic and noisy, with demons dancing wildly.
Su Qiao quickly hugged Gu Lin and moved away.
Gu Lin struggled to go down.
Then the little cub held up his little clothes and started to bustle around, picking up small skull parts on the ground and putting them in his little clothes.
As they picked up the trash, the whole place fell silent.
The skeletons that were fighting vigorously stopped and looked at the little cub who was picking up their fingers and eyeballs.
Skeleton: "..."
Player: "..."
Su Qiao and Song Ran looked at each other, both of them puzzled, and bent down to help the kid pick up the small skull parts.
Gu Lin's clothes were small and couldn't hold too many, so the ones that couldn't fit in were taken by Su Qiao and Song Ran, and the guy in the double-layer hat also took a lot.
The skeletons watching the beauty pageant quietly shifted their gazes over here.
A skeleton picked up its own eyeball and was about to put it back into its eye socket, but when he looked up, he saw a cute baby standing in front of him.
The skeleton hesitated for a moment, then tremblingly handed over his own eyeball.
Gu Lin took the eyeball with his soft little hands, his face full of excitement.
After picking up all the small skull parts, Gu Lin rubbed his hands on his clothes, and his bellyband was full of small parts.
No one knew what the little cub was going to do.
The next moment they knew.
After picking up the small parts, Gu Lin started to line up the skeletons and then began to distribute the small parts.
Gu Lin held an eyeball in his small hand. The eyeball looked particularly large in his hand, like a prop.
Gu Lin: "Whose eyeball is this?"
A skeleton quickly raised his hand: "Me, me, me, it's mine!"
The skeleton stepped forward to claim it, and Gu Lin gave it the eyeball.
Then Gu Lin picked up another finger bone and asked: "Whose finger is this?"
The other skeleton quickly raised his hand with only four finger bones left and stepped forward to receive it: "Mine, mine, mine!"
Everyone: ……6.
The degree of skeletonization of the players varied. Some players had half of their bodies turned into skeletons, but Gu Lin, the little cub, had not even started to turn into a skeleton yet.
Unexpectedly, just as they were thinking this, Gu Lin, who was distributing small parts to the skeletons, suddenly raised his chubby little hand, and one of his short fingers turned into bones.
Gu Lin blinked his eyes and looked at his fingers that had turned into bones. Instead of being scared, he was a little surprised: "My hands have also turned into skeletons!"
He put his finger in his mouth and bit it, but his little baby teeth couldn't bite it at all.
"I can't bite it."
Everyone: “…”
As expected of you!
