The Death Knell

On the sea with countless bones floating on it, the buoy shook wildly, and the fishing line was pulled by waves, pulling the fishing rod into a crescent shape.

Fishing people always have a habit of thinking that can be exploited, that is, after they find something hooked, they will definitely choose to pull up the rod to see what they have caught.

If you find something taking the bait and deliberately don't lift the pole to find out, but instead try to compete with the thing in the water by playing a tug-of-war game, isn't that unhealthy?

It's not that Deathstroke has never seen such a person before, but there is only one, and that mental patient's name is the Joker.

In short, King Hod is obviously not a psychopath of that level, otherwise he would not be able to run such a large family business, so it is best to treat him as a normal person.

It is currently known that the artificial ocean on the Bone Planet is more like a large pool for soaking bones. There is no food chain in it, let alone living fish.

So in this case, if the fisherman finds a living creature taking the bait, the choice he will make is pretty predictable.

King Hod, who had a yellow-green face, stood up. He twisted his shoulders and threw off the red cloak on his body. He held the fishing rod with both hands and added strength little by little.

The fishing line began to swim crazily on the water, dragging the buoy up and down. If you look carefully at the trajectory of the water ripples, you will find that it forms an S shape at one time and a B shape at another, as if it is hinting at something. .

But the king who was dominated by curiosity didn't think so much. He didn't understand some of the abbreviations of the Celestial Dynasty, so he pressed his tongue against the roof of his mouth, raised his chin slightly, and carefully kept retracting and unwinding the fishing line.

He obviously knows how to fish and knows how to take a walk.

But this time the hook was counter-intuitive. He wanted to walk the fish, but the underwater thing jumped out of the water and fell in front of him with a splash.

It was a cube of white meat, still alive and able to squirm. There was a crack on the surface of the meat piece, a bit like a box lid, and an arrow was drawn to indicate which direction to open it.

King Huo De tilted his head. As a multi-level strong man with dual cultivation of magic and martial arts, he was not afraid of such a thing.

So naturally I picked this thing up and opened it casually.

The wet meat ball was still dripping with water, and the sticky feeling was like pinching snot, but when the box was opened, there was actually music playing.

He didn't understand what Christmas carols were, but he could hear the clear ringtones that kept echoing in his ears.

However, inside the white box is a black box. It seems that the secret of sound is still deeper.

Without hesitation, he threw away the white meat box and opened the black box again.

The music became a little deeper, but this made him feel that his idea was correct, because something had changed.

But inside the black box is obviously not the answer to the mystery, there is a blue box inside.

The king was silent for a moment. He was not angry, but rather found it more interesting.

To be honest, he was a little tired of coming here every time he went on vacation. Now that he encountered such a new thing, of course he had to explore it to the end.

So he broke open the blue fleshy box and found a green box inside.

At the same time the music became deeper.

His face, as ugly as an umbrella lizard, trembled. The sores filled with yellow pus shone on his face, and he opened them again.

Inside the green box is a yellow box.

Inside the yellow box is the pink box.

Inside the pink box is a purple box.

Red box, red box, red box, red box, red box...infinite loop.

After a while, he had already opened more than a dozen layers, but the 40-centimeter-square piece of meat in his hand still didn't get significantly smaller, but the sound of the music seemed a bit weird.

At first it was a clear ringing sound, but now it's like a deep bell.

"Huh... Huh..." His Majesty the Emperor had begun to breathe heavily. His nostrils, which were about the same size as eyeballs, could fit into a child's fist. There were several fists at his feet. A red fleshy box was flattened with one foot, and he growled: "They are all red, what's the difference?!"

As he spoke, he opened another layer of boxes.

As if he heard what he said, the piece of meat told him something was different this time. In addition to the similar color as before, this time there was a line of small words on the piece of meat, which read:

"Elegant X Lauder lipstick, the color number 559 Jazz Currant, the previous layer is the color number 313 Frosty Blood Orange, completely different, you uneducated color blind person, if you don't believe it, just put it on your lips and ask others to take a look. !”

"Someone is coming!"

No one has ever dared to talk to me like this, let alone a piece of meat. Anyway, this thing can't escape from my hands, and I can crush it into powder at any time.

So this king must first prove that he is not color blind, and then transform this piece of meat into a biochemical monster that feeds on feces every day.

"Your Majesty." The guard heard his master's call and came to him with loyalty on his face.

King Hod dipped his fingers into some of the viscous liquid on the meat, smeared the color on his lips, then looked at his cronies and asked:

"Look what color my mouth is now?"

"Red, Your Majesty, as red as blood."

The guard didn't know why, but the master's question had to be answered, so he told the truth.

"Well..." King Hod peeled off another layer of skin from the piece of meat in his hand, then dipped it in the crimson mucus with color number 340 and smeared it on his mouth, and then asked the guard: "Will you do it again this time?" Look, what color is this?”

"Red, my king, but not as red as before." Because it was the king's question, the guard carefully observed it for several seconds, then judged it based on the contrast between red lips and green skin, and gave a rigorous explanation.

But this answer was not what King Hod wanted to hear. Although he could not see the color difference himself, his subordinates could see it. Doesn't this prove that this strange meaty fish is right?

So as a dark overlord, he first laughed, then suddenly raised his hand, took out the heart of the loyal guard, and then used magic to blast the pained subordinates into ashes on the spot.

Looking down at his still beating heart, he looked unhappy: "It's obviously red, come again!"

Having long been accustomed to King Hod's cruelty and moodiness, the guards were a little sad about the death of their colleague, but their emotions were very limited. Soon a second guard came to the king's side.

King Hod tore off a layer of meat skin, applied a new lip gloss color on himself, and then began to repeat the previous questions and answers.

When the guard gave a different answer again, he was so angry that he was ready to kill his men again, but suddenly he covered his heart instead, and fell straight into the sea in front of everyone.

Plop.

People and pieces of meat splashed with water, as well as a lot of bones, causing a burst of chaos and screaming.

When the Guards salvaged the king, they found that he was as shriveled as a mummy and had been dead for a long time. However, the strange bell still seemed to be echoing in the depths of the sea, but the source was gradually disappearing... ...
