Under the thick white beard was a black hole. I grabbed the hook stick in the wall with one hand and the gourd in the other to collect it. At this time, Chen Qinghan shouted above my head, asking me not to do anything first and check on this thing.

I saw that there was nothing wrong with it elsewhere, but I had a big belly, which was ridiculously big.

I let go of the gourd, it was tied with a rope, and it couldn't fall off my neck. I freed up my hand to pat Tong Ling's belly, but it didn't feel like it was on the flesh.

I pulled open its belt and something suddenly fell out. I grabbed it quickly with my hands and eyes, and then realized that it was a child!

The child was wearing pajamas and his eyes were closed, but he didn't wake up in this situation.

I grabbed his pajamas and shook them up, then clamped him with my arms, stepped on the wall and turned back to the rooftop, and put the child on the ground. The belt that had just been untied turned into a pale child. He suddenly grinned and his mouth was incredibly big, and bit me.

Chen Qinghan said that Tong Ling has no entity. He can only touch it with special gloves. The child who can turn into a belt is definitely not a living person with entity. Without entity does not mean that he cannot harm a person with entity. Tong Ling is an energy, such as lightning and ultraviolet rays. As long as it reaches a certain level, it can hurt people.

The child who transforms from it should have similar nature to it.

I have always been immune to this kind of thing, so I didn't dodge it specifically. Chen Qinghan was very nervous. He even let go of Santa Claus and turned around to help me.

"This is not an ordinary thing, don't let it touch you." Chen Qinghan seemed to want to pull the big-mouthed boy who was rushing towards me.

When Chen Qinghan did not touch the big-mouthed boy, and I focused on my eyes and looked at it, the big-mouthed boy whined and retreated from me. He was hitting Chen Qinghan's outstretched hand and was caught by him.

The big ones are not easy to deal with, and the small ones are still easy to subdue. The big-mouthed boy looks only two or three years old, and Chen Qinghan grabbed him like an eagle catching a chick.

I grabbed him in my hand and couldn't get away no matter how hard he struggled. And I found that his eyes were injured. His eyes that had only white eyes just now turned into two black holes.

I guess it was this injury that made him rush back halfway through. I had seen the same injury before, when I was dealing with the puppet master.

Chen Qinghan signaled that I could use gourds now. I opened the lid of the gourd and sucked the big-mouthed child in.

Santa Claus didn't take the opportunity to escape. It floated in the air and wanted to save the child, but unfortunately it was slow and the big-mouthed child was sucked into the gourd. I covered the lid and Chen Qinghan changed his mind. He told me not to suck Tong Ling in first.

I asked him what was wrong, and he said that the child fell out of Santa Claus just now, and I wonder if there were any other children inside.

Tong Ling has no entity, nor does it look like a human being. Its face is a black hole like a whirlpool. There may be a special space in its body. It takes the child outside the building for a long time, but the child has not fallen out. It should have a "mechanism".

The belt I untied was not a real belt, but an energy body that looked like a child. Was it because he blocked it and the sleeping children did not fall out?

Chen Qinghan asked me to pick up the sleeping child and hide behind him. The Santa Claus couldn't reach the gourd and could not touch the child in my arms. He seemed a little anxious. It suddenly spread its arms and a big hole appeared in his arms. But if you look closely, it looked more like a door.

A strong suction force was generated from the black, like the entrance of the simultaneous tunnel, sucking Chen Qinghan and I in.

The space inside the ‘door’ was completely different from what I imagined. I thought of Santa Claus’s belly as a box, and the big-mouthed child was the ‘box lid’, which was similar to the principle to the elevator car.

But the fact is that its internal space seems to be another world, with a dark sky, a dark wood, and strange-shaped mushrooms growing in the middle of the grass, each of which is ugly than the other, and the colors are either black or purple.

The whole "world" has no bright colors. Chen Qinghan looked back and saw the black door still there, but it had a strong rebound force. He would bounce back when he stepped in.

"I thought it could only catch children." I held Chen Qinghan's waist, and he had been bounced back by the "door" for the third time.

"I thought it would hide the child somewhere in the city." Chen Qinghan stabilized his body with the force of me supporting him, relaxed his muscles and stopped rushing forward.

"You mean, it hides the child?" This is a strange world, everything is somewhat different from its original appearance, such as the trees in the woods, which look like water plants sold in the flower, bird and fish market.

"This is the world it creates, the fairy tale world."

"That's it? A dark fairy tale?"

"No matter black and white, children are indispensable in the fairy tale world."

"Then let's look around?"

Anyway, I have already come in, so it’s the same if I go around and leave. My karma is not useful yet, so I can try again later.

The spires of some buildings on the other side of the woods are exposed, and there should be houses there, which seem to be quite tall.

I held the child who was still sleepy in one hand, and held the hook and stick in the other hand, with a gourd hanging around my neck, walking behind Chen Qinghan.

He held the long sword and opened the way. We walked into the giant "water grass" forest. The soft trees were automatically without wind, and felt that they would extend their "clips" to us.

There is a path in the forest that is only enough for one person to pass through. There are knee-deep grass on both sides, and those strange mushrooms. When we pass by, one eye will suddenly open on the mushrooms on both sides.

If you look closely, they are actually bugs that will glow on their backs. They seem to emit dark purple light only when they feel something approaching. When we walk a distance, the light will dim.

Occasionally, birds pass by the woods, black feathers and red eyes, which look a bit like crows.

If children are really brought to this space to live, there is a great possibility of being controlled. No children would like such a dark and terrifying place.

Through the woods, we came to an open open space, with buildings like Disney Castle standing in the middle of the space.

But the color of the castle is still black, while the windows above are painted red, like a monster with many scarlet eyes.

There is no moat around the castle. There are two statues of angels standing at the main entrance, but the angels have sharp teeth in their mouths. They have strange smiles, holding skeletons in their hands, and dark purple fires are burned in the skeletons, like ghost fires.

The gate of the castle was not closed. We walked into the door and saw a long table in the center of the hall, with cups, plates, dishes, and dishes on it. No matter what it used to be, it has now been ossified, with skulls, phalanges, spines, and even tailbones.

The laughter and joy of children came from above the spiral stairs, and the sound of kicking and stomping footsteps ran from one direction to another, as if many children were playing and playing.

What is the purpose of Santa Claus helping me and Chen Qinghan lock me up? Is it to play with these children?

At this moment, a group of black birds suddenly flew into the hall. They grabbed something, threw it on the table, then dismembered the thing with their mouths and brought it into different bowls and plates.

I didn't expect that this group of birds actually played the role of a chef. They found food and put it into bowls and plates. But the corpse of this animal was already broken and was probably only scavengers would be interested in eating it.

The birds screamed and flew away from the hall. The sound of footsteps came from the upstairs. A group of little monsters ran down from the upstairs and sat around the dining table quickly.

They grabbed the animals' carcasses from the bowls and plates and stuffed them into their mouths, feasting on them, and didn't mind the stench it emitted at all.

The monsters were wearing tattered clothes, and they could still see the style, and some could see the trademark clearly. They were clothes worn by human children.

Could it be that the child who was caught by Santa Claus had been eaten by these little monsters?

The long table was covered with bones, but there were no bones of human children.

The monsters were eating happily, and they didn't seem to notice our existence. They ate all the food in the bowl and plate like wind and clouds, and then suddenly looked up at us.

More than a dozen pairs of green eyes stared at us, two of them left from their seats and ran to us. Chen Qinghan placed his sword in front of him, but the two little monsters walked around him and came to me, speaking human language. They asked me to put down the children in my arms and said that they could take my little brother to play.

Judging from their tone, they had no idea what they were in now. I said that my little brother was sleeping and could not play with them.

The little monster was a little disappointed and said that if the little brother woke up, he would ask him to play with them.

I don’t know when the children in my arms will wake up. If these little monsters were transformed by children, what kind of situation did they wake up when they were caught in this dark world?

When Chen Qinghan saw that the little monster could communicate with us, he asked if there were any other children coming to the castle in the past two days.

The little monster said that some of them were not adapted to the new environment and could not eat the food here and were still playing upstairs.

Chen Qinghan suggested that he wanted to go upstairs to see the children, but the little monsters did not object. The two of them came to talk to me and took the initiative to lead the way.

There are many floors in the castle. I roughly counted it. There are about seven floors. Each floor has many rooms, including Trojans and musical instruments... As long as it is a toy that children like, there are everything inside.

We came to a room on the second floor, which was full of building blocks. There were two children sitting on the floor and building blocks. According to the photos provided by the parents, we can confirm that these two children were the second ones who disappeared yesterday.

In another room with countless brushes and drawing boards, there was a little girl sitting, who was also on our list of missing children.

There were also those who were on a Trojan swing on a swing. We walked around and confirmed that several children were here.

They did not look like they turned into little monsters, but they had serious dark circles and pale faces without any blood. If they continued to play like this, they would probably be not far from becoming a monster.

It is hard to say whether those who have mutated can recover, but those who still look like people may be taken out immediately.

It is impossible for us to bring eight children at the same time. When Chen Qinghan wanted to take one of the little girls away, the child struggled hard, as if the toys in front of her were not toys but poisons and drugs. She could not do without these toys for a moment. As long as she put them in front of the toys, she immediately calmed down and sat there and played obediently.

The two little monsters who led us upstairs changed their expressions instantly when they saw Chen Qinghan's movements, becoming angry and full of hostility.

They shouted that we would go away quickly. Chen Qinghan asked with the opportunity, "We can leave, but how can we leave?"

The two little monsters were asked, and they seemed to have never thought about this question before, and asked why they left?

Chen Qinghan said he wanted to go out to find his parents. The two little monsters asked again, "What are their parents?"

It seems that they have forgotten their original life. Chen Qinghan asked them what they were called, but they still couldn't answer.

It seems that they only have fun, eat, and nothing else in their minds.

Chen Qinghan said a few words and said that this place was so good. He wanted to stay and play with everyone. After relaxing the vigilance of the two little monsters, he also suggested that he wanted to look around outside the castle.

The two little monsters told him that they should not go anywhere except the forest path, as the woods outside were very dangerous.

A disobedient child ran to the woods outside and was eaten by wild animals.

I think they are eating each other, either you eat me or I eat you.

When Chen Qinghan was chatting with them, I took out my cell phone and looked at it. There was no signal here, so I couldn't expect foreign players to help us. Chen Qinghan said that he wanted to go out and take a walk, but it was just looking for an opportunity to let me try my karma.

Children are easy to cheat. After hearing Chen Qinghan's words, the two little monsters really thought we wanted to stay and switch from the angry and vicious moment to the friendly state again.

We left the castle and wandered around the nearby woods. I picked a few mushrooms and burned them to confirm that they could be destroyed by karma fire.

If everything in the space is illusory, the little monsters should not need to eat. Since they eat, they and the food they eat may have entity.

Now that the mushrooms are burned into slag, we confirmed our guess, but I don’t know how big the entire space is, my karma fire may not burn it out.

The little monsters are no problem, they should not be our opponents.

A few things were burned in the woods, and then we returned to the castle. The little monster who had eaten at the dining table had returned to the upper floor to continue playing.

Chen Qinghan and I acted separately. We knocked out the child we found before and tied it up on our body, one in front of us, one behind us, and one on the left and right.

Without the struggle and shouting of children, we walked out of the castle smoothly.

Just when they walked to the small path in the forest, the little monsters in the castle chased after them. They all grinned and glared at us, running like animals on all sides, and at a very fast speed.

The two of us ran slowly with our four children, and we were caught up by the little monsters when we arrived at the Black Gate.
Chapter completed!
