Chapter 069 Chapter 69

The half-skeleton boy Kailett looked at Martin unhappily: "Devil? That's an outdated name. Some people called me that before. But I am different from what you think I am."

Martin ran to a corner trembling. If he could, he even wanted to escape directly, but no one else in the exhibition hall ran, only he did. First of all, it was dangerous, and secondly... it seemed that he was too scared.

Although he didn't run away, Martin had no intention of talking to the skeleton boy in the painting. He remembered the description of the devil in the book: Never talk to devils, they are very good at misleading people, and if you are not careful, your soul will be deceived.

Martin didn't want his soul to be taken away by the devil.

In comparison, Sera was braver, although her hands were also shaking.

She walked up to the painting and asked, "Hello, are you the ghost of this museum?"

"No." Caret shook his head, stood up from the chair, walked out of the painting under the horrified gazes of several people, and stood in front of them in reality.

"I exist in a body, not a ghost." Kailett turned around, showing his flexible body.

Even around the neck, hands and jaw, there were white bones.

"I'm Sera." Sera introduced herself. "May I ask your name?"

"Kareet." The half-skeleton boy said with a smile.

In the painting next door, a huge monster like a python was wriggling its body, trying to crawl out of the painting. Kailett saw it, and the half-skeleton boy raised his hand and slapped it back.

"I've seen my guys throwing water at me before, always saying they were exorcising evil spirits." Kailett sneered, "Why do they think that just by saying a few words to the pool, it can become holy water to destroy the enemy? I'm glad you didn't do anything irrational without permission."

"I almost forgot." Carret looked at Martin, "Why did you break up with that girl?"

Martin's lips trembled but he said nothing.

A man patted him hard on the back, and Martin finally spoke: "Because... being with her reminds me of today, which is terrible."

Kailett was a little surprised: "Just because of this?"

“This is very serious!” Martin spoke loudly, not knowing where he got the courage from. Seeing the half-skeleton boy glaring at him, he immediately said sorry in a low voice.

Keret pointed at his jaw with his white fingertips: "But, in a month, these kinds of things will happen more and more. You might run into bad luck when you open the door, something might be staring at you from the pillow when you sleep, or someone might pat you on the shoulder from behind when you walk on the street at night. So, will you never open doors, sleep, or walk on the street at night in the future?"

Martin's face turned pale. "What are you talking about?"

"What?" Kailett's eyes were smiling. "It's about the changes in the future. This world will become our playground."

"Are you kidding me?" The information they received was so shocking and terrifying that some tourists asked loudly, regardless of the fear of the half-skeleton boy.

Kailett looked at the man who spoke coldly and said, "Are you worth my joke?"

There was a moment of silence.

At this point, even the comment section of the live broadcast room exploded.

【Are you kidding? 】

【I told you it's not a joke.】

[This is too big a game. ]

【No one is playing.】

[If the whole world is full of this stuff in a month, wouldn't it be the end of the world?]

[Oh my god, I don't want this to happen.]

[I'm on my way to buy weapons. ]

【I have already bought it. 】

[By the way, it’s the old American tradition that hot weapons are sold openly. ]

[You can’t buy it here, how can you protect yourself? 】

【I don’t think that stuff works.】

[Even if it doesn't work on weird people, it will definitely work on people with weird hearts. 】

[Ah, yes, at the end of the world, people will probably be scarier than monsters.]

[It doesn't matter. If you can't get something, the criminals probably can't get it either. Chaos and stability are relative.]

[If something strange happens, can't people mutate? ]

[You mean Superman or something like that? ]

【I never wear my underwear outside.】

【It is enough to wear underwear as outerwear. 】

【From an evolutionary perspective, when something bad appears, its nemesis will also appear at the same time. This is an established rule of the ecosystem.】

[But the question is, should weirdness be part of the ecosystem? ]

[So are the weird things animals, plants, or microorganisms? ]

【That's enough for you. 】

[Have you noticed that there are so many weird things, most of which are impossible to communicate with, but a few can be communicated with like Bai Yixin.]

[So you mean, we can cooperate with Qiyi Tan in the future? ]

[It's okay to try it, as long as they don't rely on eating creatures that walk on two legs to survive, it's not a big problem. ]

【Why don’t you just say the person directly? 】

[I think it's feasible. Bai Yixin is a typical example. He is also helpful.]

[As a helper who depends on your mood, don't expect too much weirdness. Those who are not of my kind must have different hearts. 】

[What does the above person mean? The translation is a mess. ]

[It seems that the real-time translation of Weird Live is not that good. 】

[Okay, now, facing the idioms and proverbs that have been deposited in Chinese culture for thousands of years, even translators who graduated from prestigious universities would be confused.]

[What translators fear most is "We Chinese have an old saying." Basically, they will cry after hearing this saying. ]

【The topic has gone off track, let’s get back to the topic.】

[The market is open. Anyone want to bet on how many of these people can survive? Here is the website for you to open the market online.]

[I'm interested. Wait, where is this URL? ]

【For us, it’s overseas. 】

[A well-known overseas casino. We won’t play this one. ]

【Gambling on these things shows no respect for life.】

【It's none of your business. 】

[Okay, don't worry about it. I don't know which country it is from. Forget about the values. The laws are not consistent. I really can't control it.]

【Hey, has anyone seen the website? I mean brothers from the Western Continent. 】

【I saw that everyone is discussing what will happen in a month. 】

[Damn it, who said what happened in Japan was a movie promotion? I'll kill that guy! ]

[I don’t know, do you want to check? Here are the most powerful hackers who can trace the source. ]

【check!】

【Okay, there is a result. The first person to say that the video was promoted was an official from a certain state. He said so on Twitter.】

【……】

【I am not surprised at all by this result.】

【Now many people are asking for an official explanation.】

【And then? 】

[No official response was given.]

【Many countries have declared a state of alert.】

[It is useless to enter a state of alert. We still need to start from our own abilities. We have already started training martial arts from childhood.]

[I know, Kung Fu, right?]

【Not a single bullet has worked yet. 】

【Maybe not.】

[Stop talking nonsense and watch the live broadcast. I am very curious about the attitude of the skeletons that appeared this time towards humans. ]

【Only half of it is a skeleton. 】

[That's half skeleton, a bit troublesome, so let's just use half bone. ]

[I have a name, okay? It's called Carret.]

"I, I don't want that kind of future." said a female tourist fearfully.

"I'm sorry." Kailett tilted his head. "It's not something that will disappear if you refuse it."

The female tourist covered her mouth and started crying.

Sera's expression was also heavy, but she at least remembered what the most important question was: "Kareet, do you know how to leave here?"

Everyone looked over, including the crying female tourist.

Kailett: “I know.”

Sera's eyes lit up.

"But why should I tell you for no reason?" Kailett narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "Do you have anything that is worth my attention?"

"Things..." Sera touched her bag. "I have a lot of things, books, wallets, cell phones, and a new tablet computer. It's very useful."

Kailett didn't even look at the things in Sierra's bag, but stared at Sierra's fingers: "Your hand bones look good."

Sera froze and pulled her hand back in fear.

"I like bones." Kailett raised his left hand and looked at the white bones. "Those bones that are processed very cleanly are really beautiful. Don't you think so?"

"So, you can send us away for a bone?" Martin suddenly said.

Sera immediately turned her head and looked at him in horror. Could this mean...

"No, the transaction is limited to individuals." Kailett pointed at Sera, "Whoever gives me a satisfactory transaction item will be allowed to leave. If others want to leave, they have to give me something."

Carrett looked at Martin and said, "Your...ulna, looks pretty solid." Then he looked at the other people in the exhibition hall and pointed at them one by one. "I like your shoulder blade, and your ribs. Your...spine, looks very beautiful. As for you, only your skull is okay, so-so."

Everyone who was tapped turned pale, especially the one whose skull was tapped, who almost fainted from fright.

"So, you want to trade?" asked Caret.

The one whose skull was tapped immediately refused: "No!"

What a joke, handing over the skull is equivalent to handing over the head, can he still survive?

Those whose spines were pressed would not be happy either. Without a spine, wouldn't they be paralyzed? If something strange really happened a month later, wouldn't they just be lying in bed waiting to die?

Others were not happy either, even Martin was unwilling to accept such a high price.

Then everyone looked at Sera. She only had to pay one finger, which was the lowest price among all of them.

Sera thought about it and shook her head. Before she was sure if there was any other way out, she didn't want to give up a finger so casually. What if the only way to leave was to wait for the gray fog for a while? Wouldn't it be too unfair for her to give up her finger like this?

"Well, that's a pity," said Caret in a cheerful voice. "When you want to trade, just shout my name to any portrait and I'll hear you. It just depends on my mood whether I will change what I want to trade."

"Do you live inside a portrait?" Serra asked.

"No, I just thought this place is nice, so I'm here to stay for a while." Carrett said, "Don't you think the environment here is nice? There are many lively neighbors."

"By the way, let me remind you." Kailett looked at the others, "When viewing paintings in an art museum, it is best to remain quiet. When viewing sculptures, you must stand up. I hope you can live to present your bones to me."
