Skull Kingdom (End)
As soon as Gu Lin asked this question, even the air froze for two seconds.
Suddenly there was complete silence; you could hear a pin drop.
Colonel Xiao had a look of despair on his face, and was trembling with fear inside, fearing that the Skeleton King would get angry.
Anyone who has seen the Skeleton King and has a normal sense of smell can smell the stench of corpse on him, but no one has ever dared to point it out.
It is already taboo for these sacrifices to wear masks, but this cub was so naive and ignorant that he asked it as a question.
After a moment of shock, the Skeleton King raised his arm and sniffed again, but he couldn't smell it himself.
Skeleton King's eyes flashed coldly, and he turned to look at Colonel Xiao: "Is what this little kid said true? How come I have never heard you mention it?"
“…”
Colonel Xiao's palms were sweating. He thought quickly and looked at Gu Lin calmly: "You must have smelled it wrong. It's me who stinks. I don't take a bath all year round."
Everyone: “…”
Ah, this is too hard!
If it wasn't for the wrong timing, everyone would really like to give Colonel Xiao a thumbs up.
Gu Lin tilted his head, puzzled: "But you didn't smell bad outside just now, as soon as you saw this old man..."
Colonel Xiao winked at Gu Lin, his eyes almost cramping.
Song Ran suppressed his laughter and covered the boy's mouth to stop him from talking nonsense.
The Skeleton King, however, was narrow-minded and said with a fake smile: "It's time to sink them into the Black Swamp."
As soon as he finished speaking, the gun in the hole in the wall cocked.
Colonel Xiao also drew the gun from his waist, stood in front of the Skeleton King, and aimed at everyone.
Colonel Xiao said: "Do you jump into the Black Swamp yourself, or do I have someone sink you in?"
Except for the undead wood in Skull Valley, everything will sink into the Black Swamp, and anything that sinks into the Black Swamp will be turned into sand, not limited to skeletons.
Gu Lin blinked his big eyes and took away Song Ran's hand that was covering his mouth. He was still wearing a mask on his face.
Gu Lin: [Brother A Yuan told me how to remove the curse, so how can I get there?]
The other person had a gun in his hand. He had seen cartoons and knew that guns could kill people.
9527 was blocked before, so I don’t know what brother Yuan said to the young anchor.
Gu Lin's little brain has always been smart, and he quickly thought of a good idea: [Got it, the kid can wear the mayor's hat!]
9527 reacted: [That’s right, the mermaid mayor’s hat can make you invisible for ten minutes at a time, the anchor is awesome!]
It doesn't know what the little anchor wants to do, but with the invisible hat, it is very convenient for the little anchor to do whatever he wants.
9527 immediately took out the mermaid mayor's Fedora hat from the system backpack and put it on Gu Lin's head.
The next moment, Gu Lin disappeared out of thin air in Song Ran's arms.
""
Song Ran looked down, then weighed himself. He felt the weight of the little ghost in his arms, and could touch the soft little ball, but there was nothing in front of him.
Then the invisible little ball struggled to get out of his arms.
Song Ran was confused and shocked. Before he could react, his arms were empty. He could neither see nor touch anything.
The others were also surprised.
The Skeleton King had been slumped in his chair, but he straightened up slightly, his eyes wide, unable to believe that the little national treasure had just disappeared.
Colonel Xiao held his gun and looked left and right, but there was no sign of the little kid.
Skeleton King slapped the armrest of his chair and said, "No one is allowed to make any noise!"
After everything became completely quiet, everyone heard a slight rustling sound, and then saw a series of small footprints on the ground.
The string of small footprints ran all the way to the Rose Coastline. The coastline was covered with sandy gravel similar to that of a beach, and Gu Lin's small feet easily left footprints on it.
The Skeleton King had a terrifying expression, his eyes wide open in anger, and his gaze followed the movement of the small footprints.
Thinking of something, the Skeleton King's pale face showed panic and fear, and his piled dead flesh trembled along with the sound: "Shoot, shoot now! Kill him!"
“…”
Colonel Xiao showed hesitation on his face, but decided to obey the order and prepared to shoot Gu Lin.
However, before he could pull the trigger, the double-hatted boss got there first and shot him in the wrist, knocking the gun out of his hand.
He exchanged this gun from the system mall.
The Skeleton King was startled for a moment and pressed a button on the armrest of the chair. In an instant, a glass barrier fell from the sky, separating the Skeleton King and the sacrifice.
The sacrifice was left on the side of the wall full of gun holes, with no exit, trapped to death.
Because of the resistance of the sacrifices, each of them was shot in the calf, restricting their movements but not taking their lives.
They were to be sunk into the Black Swamp, and they would not be shot.
After hearing the gunshot, Gu Lin looked at his own footprints, and then began to move around in a messy manner. He ran very fast, leaving his footprints all over the beach.
When the Skeleton King went to look at the beach again, there were small footprints on the ground, and he could not confirm Gu Lin's location at all.
Skeleton King: "..."
The Skeleton King pointed at Colonel Xiao and said, "Go find someone to find that brat for me!"
Everyone had injuries on their legs, but they had no time to care. They exchanged healing potions from the system mall and gave one to the Skeleton Girl and the Black Robe Skeleton.
They couldn't help but wonder about the Skeleton King's attitude. Why was he so scared when he saw Gu Lin approaching the Rose Coastline? Didn't he just threaten to sink them back into the Black Swamp?
Could it be that...
The method to lift the curse is related to those rose coastlines
But how did Gu Lin know!
The mermaid mayor’s invisible hat was too big, and when Gu Lin put it on, his entire little head was covered.
He could only hold on to it with both hands, but because he ran too fast, the hat accidentally fell off, and the cub immediately appeared in everyone's sight.
Gu Lin: “Oh, Mao Mao!”
He quickly picked up his hat and put it back on his head.
Then become invisible again.
Everyone: "..." Hey, hold on!
The Skeleton King's eyes turned bloodshot, and his originally pale face turned green.
Colonel Xiao has already found many of his men in uniform, and Louis is also there.
These people immediately ran to the beach and began to search blindly for the little cub, groping in the air with their hands.
Gu Lin quietly avoided people. As he was small and did not take up much space, he easily avoided the soldiers and was not caught.
The Skeleton King looked at his men who were arresting people, his face twitching with anxiety: "Squat down and look for it. The little national treasure is only up to your knees. What are you looking for above?"
Suddenly, everyone on the beach squatted down, raised their hands in the air, and moved their feet.
Su Qiao: "Tanzi, be careful!"
As soon as Su Qiao shouted, everyone started to cheer for the kid.
[Ahhhh, come on, little one, go for it!!!]
[Zizi is so smart, he can move around in a messy way, disrupting the enemy's sight first! Zizi is the best!! [Reward points x100]]
[Ahhh I dare not look at it, my heart is in my throat, baby please don't get caught! [Reward points x100]]
[The main point is a thrill, watching the cubs pass the level while breathing oxygen! [Reward points x100]]
Gu Lin avoided these people, stretched out his short fingers, pointed at the roses and counted in his mind: "1, 2, 3...8, 9, 11...Huh"
9527: [……]
After Gu Lin counted, he realized that he had counted wrong, so he started counting again: "1, 2...9, 10, 12, 13!"
After counting to thirteen, Gu Lin wanted to pull out the rose.
9527 spoke up in time: [Wait wait wait, little anchor, do you want to count again? It seems that the number is not right. I will buy you a pair of small gloves first. Roses have thorns, be careful not to prick your hands. 】
Did you count wrong?
Gu Lin's face looked thoughtful.
The kid, who could only count to tens, was stumped and had trouble counting numbers after 10.
Gu Lin counted again from the beginning and finally got it right this time. Just as he was about to pick the roses, a pair of hands grabbed his little body.
It was Colonel Xiao who caught him.
Colonel Xiao couldn't see Gu Lin. He touched the soft object in his hand and his face was blank for a moment.
This is... caught
Gu Lin was not afraid when he was caught, he was just stunned for a moment. He was very strong and was thinking about whether to kick the man away or punch him away, but Colonel Xiao suddenly let him go.
Then Colonel Xiao pretended to be groping in the air and walked forward.
Gu Lin: ""
Gu Lin didn't care why Colonel Xiao didn't arrest him. He put on small gloves and pulled out the 13th rose like pulling a carrot.
As he pulled out the 13th rose, the ten-minute invisibility time of the Fedora hat expired, and Gu Lin was exposed to everyone's sight.
Everyone was stunned when they saw Gu Lin holding a rose in his little hand.
The soldiers who were looking for people on the beach were also shocked and stared with wide eyes at the little cub that appeared in front of them. They were so surprised that they forgot to catch him.
Everyone looked at Gu Lin and the rose in his hand.
There is a heart growing at the root of the rose.
The heart is still beating, it's alive.
When the Skeleton King saw the heart, his eyes were bloodshot: "Stop, stop, what do you want to do!"
He stood up from his chair and wanted to catch Gu Lin himself, but he was too fat and stood up too fast, so he sat back down.
Colonel Xiao reacted the fastest and immediately went to pull out the other roses. Every time he pulled out a rose, there was a beating heart at the root below.
Colonel Xiao threw the rose on the beach, turned pale with fright, and collapsed to the ground.
Zhou Lu: “Fuck, why are there hearts growing underneath these roses?”
The scene before them shocked everyone.
Skull Island also has a rose coastline, and the black-robed skeleton and the skeleton girl were also shocked.
Because there is no heart under the rose on Skull Island...
etc!
Even if there is a heart growing under the rose on Skull Island, it will turn into sand. Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
Gu Lin grabbed the thirteenth rose with his little hand, lifted it up to have a look, and smelled the stench of corpse again.
The kid wrinkled his nose and threw the rose and its heart in his hand into the Black Swamp with a whoosh.
The moment the heart was thrown into the Black Swamp, the old Skeleton King, who was sitting on the chair, let out a sharp and piercing cry: “Ahhhhh——”
This cry can blow a person's head off.
The Skeleton King lay back in the chair with his head tilted back and started laughing again, looking crazy.
At this point, the Skeleton King seemed to realize that there was no turning back, and shouted: "I used the Black Swamp to complete the Skeleton Undead Curse. My lifeline is connected to the lifelines of those skeletons. I sacrifice myself. As long as the skeletons don't die, I won't die. Unless my heart is destroyed."
Death is imminent, there is no point in pretending, the Skeleton King reveals his true colors: "Hahaha, that's right, the skeletons are stupid, and the people of the Skeleton Kingdom are even more stupid. They suck the life force of the skeletons to prolong their lifespans, and they can't enter reincarnation after death."
“…”
The impact of these words was so great that Colonel Xiao and the soldiers all turned pale.
The Skeleton King's deathly pale face changed greatly. His face was already full of wrinkles, but now the moisture was quickly drained from his skin, and his flesh shriveled up. His hair turned gray in an instant, and he became older, and was still getting older.
The Skeleton King looked like a demon at this time, very scary, and he was still shouting: "I am the first skeleton in the world!"
"I maintain my human form by sucking the sperm/blood of living people, but I can only have a pile of dead flesh, so there is a corpse stench."
"The people of the Skeleton Kingdom suck the vitality of the skeletons, and then I suck their vitality hahahaha..."
Those soldiers looked at their Skeleton King in disbelief, and it was even harder for them to believe the truth that the Skeleton King spoke.
They sucked the life force of the skeletons to prolong their lifespans, but they paid a greater price, the price of not being able to enter reincarnation.
What's the point of this false immortality?
Who is more pathetic, them or those skeletons?
The flesh on the Skeleton King's body quickly dehydrated and turned into a dried skeleton in an instant.
The Skeleton King that turned into a skeleton was different from the skeletons on Skull Island. There was no life at all, no movement, and no eyeballs in his eye sockets. He was already dead.
Died as a skeleton.
Everyone was shocked, but they soon understood.
The 13th heart that Gu Lin threw into the Black Swamp belonged to the Skeleton King.
The heart turned to sand in the Black Swamp, and Skeleton King died.
The Skeleton King died in the form of a skeleton, which means that the skeleton's curse of undeath has been lifted.
Looking at the dried bones on the chair, everyone sighed and remained silent.
Gu Lin clapped his hands as if he had accomplished his task, then turned around and ran towards the double-hat boss and the others.
Colonel Xiao released everyone trapped behind the glass barrier.
He looked distraught, finding it hard to believe what was happening, and even harder to accept that the God they believed in was the devil who pushed them into hell.
The black-robed skull made a prayer gesture on his chest and said: “13 is synonymous with betrayal and will bring suffering and misfortune to people. There were 13 people at the Last Supper, and the date of the dinner was the 13th. The 13th person was Judas, a disciple of Jesus.” *
Colonel Xiao looked at him in a trance.
The double-hatted boss chuckled and said teasingly: "Didn't you say you don't believe in Christianity, but in the Skeleton King?"
The black-robed skeleton glared at him.
He still remembered that it was the double-hatted guy who pulled him down.
Su Qiao squatted down in front of Gu Lin, rubbed his little head and said: "Linlin is amazing, he saved all of us!"
Gu Lin shook his head happily. The boy was honest and did not hide anything: "Brother Yuan told me. He said that every rose corresponds to a heart, and every heart corresponds to an immortal skull."
"Under the thirteenth rose grows the heart of the Gourd King. Just pull it out and soak it in the Black Swamp, and the curse will be lifted."
The kid had a strong ability to repeat things, and he repeated Qi Yuan's words completely.
This is the second time Gu Lin mentioned his younger brother A Yuan.
Except for the double-hat boss Song Ran and Su Qiao, everyone else looked at each other.
The Skeleton Lady crossed her arms and smiled: "Brother Yuan is..."
Gu Lin patted his belly and said, "It's Zaizai's brother Yuan."
He patted his belly, and it growled.
Gu Lin: "My baby's stomach is so hungry!"
Everyone couldn't help laughing, and players exchanged delicious food for the little cub from the system mall.
The Skeleton Girl looked at the food they conjured up out of thin air. It seemed like she had also conjured up masks and healing potions out of thin air before.
So, what kind of existence are they?
Skeleton King is a fake god, so does their world really have a creator god?
Ha, this creator god is probably a creator god who has no concept of children.
There were no other children except the one in front of him.
Skeleton Girl fell into deep thought about her life.
The roses on the shore withered one after another, and the hearts at the roots disappeared.
Without the roses, the butterflies flying in the air fluttered their wings and flew away into the distance.
The black-robed skeleton sighed, "Butterflies and roses are the two most beautiful things on Skull Island. The roses on the shore of the Black Swamp are in full bloom. We once strictly prohibited any skeleton from picking roses."
Skeleton Lady raised her eyebrows when she heard that and hummed.
Gu Lin opened the Ultraman backpack and took out the glass bottle that the Skull Lady gave him.
In the glass bottle, there is a bright red rose and two dancing butterflies.
Gu Lin pulled the hem of the black-robed skeleton: "Uncle Skeleton, look, the baby has it!"
The black-robed skeleton was stunned when he saw the glass bottle: "...Where did this come from?"
Gu Lin: "It was given to me by my aunt."
The Skeleton Lady spread her hands out innocently.
Black Robe Skeleton: "..."
If it were in the past, if the Skeleton Lady dared to damage the rose without permission, he would definitely not let it go, but now, of course, there is no way to pursue it.
At this time, the black swamp retreated like the tide, and was replaced by azure blue sea water.
And those roses turned to dust and were washed away by the waves, leaving nothing behind.
Everyone unconsciously looked towards the black swamp that had turned into the sea.
The Double Hat Boss said: "The Skeleton King said that he used the Black Swamp to complete the curse, and the Black Swamp can devour everything. I'm afraid that if there is a god here, it must be the one in the Black Swamp."
As he said this, he looked at the cub who was only concerned with eating.
Gu Lin held the milk in one hand and the hamburger in the other, and took a few bites, eating with great relish, concentrating completely on the food.
From the depths of the gradually receding black swamp, a faint voice seemed to be heard: "Baby..."
No one heard the sound, and it disappeared in an instant along with the Black Swamp.
Gu Lin's little ears twitched.
Huh
Who is calling him?
It sounds a bit like A Yuan's younger brother's voice, but that's not right, A Yuan's younger brother should call him Brother Linlin!
Gu Lin tilted his head and decided to eat his hamburger first!
