Read It Well, This Is a Great Read!

“This town is called ‘Funny Town’. It used to be the birthplace of Double Horse Kingdom’s musical.”

After cleaning up the minced meat and bringing his dead colleagues down, Locke brought Kuro and the others into the town.

The town was not prosperous. Although there were many people, the streets seemed to be too big. Compared with the number of people in this town, it seemed a little empty.

Kuro noticed that there were many closed musical theaters around the town, but they seemed to have been closed for a long time. Some places were covered in spider webs and the doors were broken.

“This is also Goro’s hometown.” Locke stared at a large square in front of the street and said with some nostalgia, “Two years ago, it was very lively here.”

“So, what exactly is Goro, you haven’t said yet.” Kuro asked.

“Goro… is a person.”

Locke lowered his voice. “An actor in a musical.”

“In the past, this town was very lively. There were many opera dancers and many people came here. Even the war did not deprive us of our love for musicals. This is our tradition, even His Highness…”

Locke lowered his head and said dejectedly, “Perhaps His Highness loves musicals too much, so he gathered all the musical actors. Except for His Highness, the people are no longer allowed to have kabuki, but Goro, Goro is different.”

“His level is not favored by His Highness, but he loves acting. Even if we are banned, Goro still violates the ban and comes to perform for us, although his performance is terrible.”

Locke chuckled as if he had recalled something happy.

Then, he shook his head as if to throw away the thoughts in his mind and continued:

“A year ago, His Highness discovered the existence of Goro and executed him here, in this square.”

He pointed to an inverted cross in the center of the square. There were still some black marks on it, which looked like blood that had long dried up.

“Goro was probably unwilling to accept it, so it became a vengeful spirit and possessed the monster. The day he died, I heard a beast roar, and then the nightmare began.”

“Since then, wild beasts have often come to the town to capture people, especially recently. It is not the first time that we have been attacked by wild beasts, but it was better in the past. Those violent beasts returned to normal after a while.

“Today is also the first time we have encountered such a fierce beast. Many people have died. Today is probably the reason for Goro’s death anniversary. Marine, without you, we would probably have become the target of Goro’s grievances.”

“But…”

Locke walked forward to the center of the square. On the back of the inverted cross was a black cloth.

He pulled back the black cloth, revealing a humanoid statue.

It was a comical person. The makeup on his face was the kind of white-faced makeup that can be used in dramas. He had a strange and wretched smile on his face. He carried a guillotine in one hand and opened his fingers with the other hand. He bent one of his feet and took a classic posture.

Kuro had seen this posture before. It was just like CP9.

“Mr. Kuro…”

Seeing this statue, Crowe’s pupils shrank and he walked forward and whispered, “The Lion Ape I met used this posture.”

“Oh?”

Kuro glanced at the statue again. “Is it that terrible? A vengeful spirit? It can’t be some kind of fruit.”

“So, Admiral…”

Locke took a deep breath and said, “Although this matter itself is somewhat inappropriate, Marine, please listen to our request. If you encounter the vengeful spirit of Goro, if you can catch it, please bring it over. If you really can’t catch it, can you tell it that we have let it down!”

“Please!” He bowed to Kuro.

“Please!!!!”

The other citizens who followed him here looked at each other. They also bent down and bowed 90 degrees.

Looking at these people bowing, Kuro silently exhaled a mouthful of smoke. “Koro, where is the position?”

“It’s moving.”

Crowe wrinkled his nose and pointed forward with one hand. He kept moving along the direction and finally pointed to a place. “He is moving in this direction, there… Running Horse City! Mr. Kuro, the Lion Ape is moving towards Running Horse City!”

Kuro was stunned for a moment and said, “Chloe, analyze it.”

“Yes.”

Crowe pushed up his glasses. “It has fought with me before and it looks very human. If it is some kind of transformation of Goro, then it should be human in itself. If it is really the body of an animal and the heart of a human, then it will be familiar with animals. Maybe it guessed that my nose as a werewolf is very sharp. After all, I licked its blood before.”

“It deliberately used blood to induce people to divide the forces of the most powerful city, Running Horse City. Whether we come or not, we will achieve the goal of reducing the number of soldiers in Running Horse City. Combined with what we know now, its target must be Running Horse City. It wants to take revenge on Old K!”

“Pretty smart.” Kuro bit his cigar and looked in the direction of Running Horse City. “As long as you know the destination, it’s enough. You made me turn a small circle. Now you can’t run anymore.”

“Kuro, you want to help that Old K?”

Leda asked, “Did that guy obviously summon Kabuki to his city? He’s too selfish. He doesn’t allow other people to watch Kabuki.”

“That kind of thing, it doesn’t matter.”

Kuro walked forward and ignored those who bowed. He looked at the place where the entrance to the town was cleaned up but there was still blood.

“It’s too ungentlemanly to take revenge on innocent people.”

He stared at the bloodstains and said lightly.

A breeze blew past, making those who bowed a little dizzy. They looked up one by one and saw the Marines in front of them, their cloaks with the word Justice on them fluttering in the wind.

It was reassuring.

… .

Running Horse City, Royal Palace.

At this moment, the palace was a little quiet.

Or rather, dead silence.

Old K sat on the throne with a dead expression on his face.

Below him, Donald and others stood. Beside them, Catherine had the same expression as Old K. Their eyes did not look at each other, one went left and the other went right.

“Old K King, I brought your fiancée back for you!” Donald patted Catherine and let her take a few steps forward.

“Sa, this is your fiancée. Although she is very ugly, there is no doubt that she is engaged to you!”

Then, he said to Catherine, “You don’t have to worry. Although he is very old, he is indeed your marriage partner. Now go up bravely!”

Basil turned his head and covered his forehead, looking helpless.

Look, is this even human language?

“Ah…”

Old K stood up stiffly. He didn’t even have the desire to refute his life. Like a machine, he said his lines in a very flat tone, “Well, welcome to my palace, my fiancée. I have prepared a wedding dress for you. Go and change it later.”

Read it well, this must be good reading!

“Yes, Your Majesty.” Catherine also read it in the tone of a stick.

From beginning to end, the two of them never looked at each other.

“Yes, they look like husband and wife!”

Donald glanced at them and nodded, smiling with relief.

Basil pursed his lips and swallowed the words he wanted to say. If this guy dies one day, he will definitely be beaten to death.
