There are four days until Carnival and three days until Resurrection Day.

Hitomi released a promotional video for the first carnival.

The filming location for the promotional video was the newly built Carnival Square. The simple and crude name came from Arecio. The conservation center spent a whole night rehearsing the lighting and shooting the promotional video.

Many dark creatures participated, all of them from the conservation center headquarters. This was considered a special treatment. After all, it was the conservation center headquarters that funded and contributed to this event. Almost all of these dark creatures were educated by Arecio. In other words, they were related to

The dark creatures after the rain of fire began to look different. Although they still had good intentions, they gradually regained some of their former glory in terms of strength and psychology.

The promotional video is like a complete short story. The human girl played by Lucy goes to participate in the grand carnival parade. She is wearing a beautiful dress and has a demure smile on her face. She is obviously enjoying the joy.

festival.

The girl passed by a stall selling masks. The stall owner removed the white wolf mask from his face with his hand wrapped with animal fangs. The ears on the top of his head moved away from the mask's animal ears and trembled flexibly. She bought a drink at another stall.

The sweet and sour juice, the secret snake poked its head out from the shadows under the stall, watching her leaving figure; the devil and the elves were performing a legendary drama of adventure together, with monster dolls for sale. The girl picked up the doll, and suddenly heard

There was a commotion, and the bat-winged float slowly came forward. The people on the float dressed as vampires showed their pointed fangs, and a meaningful smile lingered on their lips...

Everything is full of lights, masks, and swaying figures. The girl happily stops in front of one stall after another, talking and dancing with passers-by. Everything is too noisy, everything is too dreamy, everything is contained in the fire

The same enthusiasm bursts out with this joyful festival!

The music turned soft and elegant, and the actor playing the fallen angel with black wings on his back stretched out his hand to the girl and invited her to dance with him. The girl was about to respond when another hand suddenly stretched out from beside him. The blond young man looked panicked and said with his friend's words

The identity took the girl away from the fallen angel. In the corner, the young man gasped for breath and told the girl with a fearful expression that a monster had sneaked into the carnival.

Then he saw the girl looking at him with a quiet smile.

The flesh and blood of those well-proportioned and slender hands fell off. The young witch stretched out her hands and cupped the face of this overly cute human being with her bony hands.

【Welcome to the carnival.】

The comment section under this video exploded as expected.

【Ah ah ah ah I want to go there I want to go there Wow wow wow wow wow! 】

[Do you think I don’t want to?! I also want Lucy to hold my face, woo woo woo! 】

[I feel the charm of dark creatures, woo woo! That eerie and gorgeous feeling stung me to death! 】

[Xixi kill me! Xixi’s little fangs kill me!]

The comment area was littered with corpses. After reading the status of the comment area, Arecio was deeply satisfied with this promotional video. It not only promoted the carnival, but also re-established the image of dark creatures. When the live broadcast of the carnival scene was broadcast, the image

The transformation is even more intense.

Theo, who has clearly said that he wants to create negative publicity, has made no move recently. Arecio thinks that he is getting scared again and wants to avoid the carnival. However... after the carnival, even if Theo makes those remarks,

They also have a huge wave of public opinion about the new changes to suppress the other side.

Thinking of this, Arecio felt refreshed and even felt more energetic when working overtime.

Theo he thought of did indeed choose to stay away from the spotlight amid the carnival craze.

Also having memories from ten thousand years ago, Theo knew exactly what kind of festival it was. Even if he didn't like it himself, those weak creatures liked it very much. In the world ten thousand years later, weak creatures have become the main body of this world.

Social networks make their voices heard, and Theo is not stupid enough to go head-to-head with such a huge group.

He set his sights on the post-Carnival, because with the southeastern branch in his hands, it was easy for the dark creatures to create attacks. He was now no match for Arecio's momentum, it didn't matter, it was okay to boost first and then suppress.

Let his children be proud for a while.

He looked at the table. In the transparent container, a soft-bodied female insect stretched out its tentacles, ready to move.

Theo smiled.

The premise of all the above is that the carnival is successfully held. If even the carnival does not go smoothly...

That is a one-sided situation.

*****

Two days before Carnival, before Resurrection Day.

Lucy woke up from meditation. She held the scepter in hand and walked down the stairs of bones. Above her head was the deep sea, and her little undead kingdom slept under the deep sea. Now, it has gradually become infected with her

color.

This feeling is wonderful, as if the entire sea of ​​the dead has become a part of her soul. She can control it and respect it. The concepts of life and death are completely blurred here. There is only eternal silence. She can't even understand it.

Know whether you are dead or alive.

Leviathan was floating above her head. He had grown very big, and his tentacles softly covered the sea. Some colorful shimmers like water waves were constantly flowing on his body. He looked light and romantic, and became more and more beautiful.

The pillar of the sea floated down upside down and looked at the lich sitting on the steps holding the scepter.

【What are you thinking about, my guardian?】

He waved two long tentacles, almost tying them in knots.

【Be happy, little cutie.】

Lucy smiled. She thought this god was also very cute. In just half a month of getting along, they had become friends. But her smile was fleeting, and her black eyes burning with soul fire were still gentle, but

There is also a look of loneliness mixed in with it.

[Let’s do this, I will give you a gift before I leave.] Leviathan said, [On the one hand, I want to thank you for reviving me, and on the other hand, Behemoth gave his guardian frost wings.

, then I shouldn’t lag behind.】

"……Gift?"

[Yes!] Seeing her reaction, Leviathan became happy, [Just like I wanted to fulfill the wish of the lich thousands of years ago, I will also fulfill your wish. Even, because I didn't have time to fulfill her wish in the end.

Appeal, therefore, two gifts are given to you together.】

【You can make a somewhat arbitrary wish.】

"Is it really possible? If God easily fulfills other people's wishes, would it be... illegal?"

Leviathan waved his tentacles indifferently to this concern.

[No, because it is difficult for God to interfere with the affairs of the world. We will even make deals with people to let them maintain the balance of the world. After all... the bargaining chips that God can offer are very important to people in the world.

Attractive.】

Lucy relaxed then. However, Lucy didn't know what kind of wish she should make. She had everything and didn't have too many desires. This sudden wish was even a bit unnecessary. But Leviathan said so, and she also

I thought about it very carefully.

【It's not a rush, just tell me before I leave.】

Leviathan must stay and watch the carnival. At the end of the night, he will completely restore his divine appearance and become one of the three pillars of darkness guarding the world. Such a life is actually very lonely, so when he encounters something interesting

He does not hesitate to express his kindness to lovely people.

Speaking of interesting people…

[Didn’t you say that you want to take me to meet your friend?] When he asked this question, he suddenly found that the lich girl had frozen.

Lucy calmly glanced at the time on her mind.

It was already past ten o'clock, and unless Aresi worked overtime for more than four consecutive hours after get off work, she might not have a chance. However, she didn't want to give up yet, so she immediately got up and headed to the sea.

In the childcare center, Arecio announced that he was off work and took a look at the psycho who was still drawing pictures.

"Are you planning to stay up all night tonight?" he asked. If Madman stays up all night tonight, his gift-giving plan may be ruined. "After twelve o'clock tonight is the Day of Resurrection. This festival is not widely publicized, but it still needs to be celebrated.

Yeah."

Of course Lucius knew that because the carnival was obviously more in line with the tastes of contemporary people, the Day of Resurrection was not publicized. In their time, there were many things to say about the soul, and they were more respectful, so every time of the Day of Resurrection,

People will stay at home quietly, or think about their lost relatives and friends, or simply stay with their families, grateful that they are still alive.

Aresio has already asked for leave, including himself. The center respects their customs, and he and Aresi can stay at home tomorrow and the whole day.

It's just... there's something wrong with the poster now, so I guess I need to stay up late to work on it.

"Sorry, I can only promise to do it as soon as possible." He apologized a little, and then urged Arecio to go back first, "You don't need to accompany me, you go back first and light candles to pay tribute to the deceased. I also bought the food in advance, you can just put it out.

"

Arecio found it a bit tricky. As a vampire, he wouldn't be able to do these rituals. As a human, Neurosis seemed to do it every year. But he was a little hesitant to let Neurosis work overtime here alone. As a result, as soon as he opened his mouth, Neurosis had already

Convinced him with a reason he couldn't refuse.

"Just think you did it for me." The saint stopped painting, smiled a little, and stretched out his hand. As soon as Arecio blinked, something was rubbed on his face.

Arecio, with a streak of oil paint on his face: "..."

You’re screwing me again! You can work overtime yourself!

Watching Aresio leave angrily, Lucius kept a smile on his face. After a while, he turned his head and continued the work at hand. He really couldn't bear to have Aresio work overtime with him here. The forecast for tonight was still

If it's going to rain, why don't we let Aresi go back first and stay at home, eat something and play games.

Near midnight, the staff said goodbye in twos and threes and dispersed. He washed the paint on his hands in the bathroom. When he was about to leave, he looked at the time on his mind.

It's almost midnight.

The time kept beating. Lucius watched it for a while and was about to put away the optical brain when he was suddenly prompted that there was a new communication.

It's Aresi.
