It is far outside the exosphere, close to the moon, somewhere 30 kilometers away from the earth.

Wearing an old yellow robe that has been eroded by the passage of time, the slender figure about ten meters high silently stays on a tiny meteorite floating in the universe.

The boulder, which would have been attracted by the gravity of the planet, completely stagnated in place against common sense at this time, and would not be detected by any scientific and technological means on the earth.

Countless gray and white tentacles wrapped around the entire meteorite, which symbolized the purest color of the soul.

The roots of the gray-white tentacles originated from the hem of the yellow robe, and spread out from there, but the total volume far exceeded that slender figure.

If there are fanatical believers, or professors from a certain university here, and seeing the face with their own eyes, they will definitely be crazy and pious, or read the indescribable name full of curiosity.

"The King in Yellow".

He is sleeping to pass some boring time.

And it was a hundred years ago when he was awake last time.

At that time, from the depths of the universe, he accidentally discovered an interesting planet of life, so he crossed the distance of half a galaxy and came here.

After a casual stroll, he observed the tiny races born on this planet, and became interested in their diversity and strong malice towards the same race, as well as the novels they created.

But soon, in the deep sea here, he accidentally discovered another existence who was at the same level as him, but deeply disgusted and hostile.

After probing and trying to attack, he confirmed that the other party was in a dormant state and had a certain degree of injury.

An ancient city was pressed on top of that huge body, bringing a sufficiently strong and tight seal, and weakening a little bit of its state again.

But he still couldn't kill him.

Therefore, after confirming this point, the king in yellow, who does not do meaningless things, just strengthened the seal, then left the deep sea, and after continuing to wander around various cities and libraries for a while, he returned to the starry sky.

He intends to sleep for a while, and then see how this interesting planet can change.

Although because of His arrival and short stay, the earth has undergone some changes, such as...

"Ghost" was born.

But the king in yellow didn't care about this trivial matter, or he just ignored it.

Because it's not interesting, and it can't bring even the slightest ripple to the "boring" in His long time.

To put it simply, they don't have any value, even if they instinctively fanatical believe in themselves, they still do, but...

This is in cases where excluding them brings "surprises".

The consciousness that had been silent for a hundred years suddenly fluctuated.

Any ghost born of him will be instinctively accepted by him and ignored the situation before his death, but this time, something is different.

"Unknown...soul..."

The indescribable raving sound suddenly reverberated in the starry sky where no sound should be transmitted.

"...This is... still lingering...the breath of the world's rules."

The illusory figure similar to the soul began to be born from the empty meteorite, and the moment it appeared, it directly knelt down on the ground, and instinctively offered fanatical faith and prayers to the yellow-robed figure in the center.

Then it seemed that it was because it was felt noisy, and it all collapsed into nothingness in the next moment.

At this time, the king in yellow was still awake.

His consciousness is immersed in an unknown dimension, and what responds to the picture of that tiny existence before death is something similar to the subconscious.

A small piece of clumsy imitation of his tentacles brought a trace of connection, causing consciousness to span hundreds of thousands of kilometers in an instant, and directly locked on a figure in a blue and white robe, and a certain white man on his shoulder. dumpling.

"......never seen it."

Suddenly, the subconscious became more active.

The soul that has been silent for countless years, once again produced spreading ripples after a long absence, or I don't know how long it has been...

He once again instinctively developed a "possessive desire".

So, the next moment.

The king in yellow, who was still in a dormant state, and all the gray and white tentacles that wrapped around the entire meteorite all squirmed at the same time, and then——

Instantly extended into the void, ignoring the space.

......

10 minutes ago.

in a coffee shop.

The golden-eyed black-haired girl who had just finished ordering the cake was touching her snow-white neck with a puzzled expression.

"What's the matter, see?"

Sitting opposite her, the orange-haired girl who had already started eating coffee cake, with an exaggerated chest, tilted her head and asked curiously.

"It's okay, Hua, it's just that my neck suddenly feels a little itchy."

Looking at her friend, Jianzi shook her head and showed a smile that didn't matter.

"Hey, did you get bitten by a mosquito? That's really bad." After blinking, Hua tilted his head to the other side again, his chest was still trembling, but his mouth was still eating. cake.

"I heard that rinsing the mosquito bite with water can relieve the itching. Do you want to go to the bathroom to try it?"

Eh, that means ammonia, right?

And the neck is not easy to flush.

Looking at his friends who were naturally dumbfounded, Jianzi smiled lightly and said, "It's okay, it doesn't itch anymore."

"That's it, that's fine."

While chatting, Hua, who had already eaten a whole piece of cake, showed a happy expression, then suddenly leaned forward, raised his hand to cover the side of his face, and whispered.

"Hey, Jianzi, why is classmate Jiafan here?"

As she said that, she thought she was acting in a concealed manner, so she reached out and pointed secretly at the man with dark circles sitting next to her friend, who was expressionless and looked at something with his head sideways.

"Could it be...Jianzi, did you have a boyfriend?"

Hua Siwei simply showed a cute gossip smirk, and then was hit directly on the forehead by a hand knife.

"Well, it hurts."

"Hua, don't talk nonsense."

Jianzi retracted his palm a little stiffly, then also covered the profile of his face, and began to "whisper".

"I just met on the way here, and then we came together. It's normal to get together with classmates on weekends, right?"

"That's what I said, but it's the first time I've seen you approach boys."

Hua covered his head and pouted a little aggrievedly: "And...what is Jiafan looking at? He has been in this position for almost 10 minutes."

"Um, this one."

Jianzi silently turned aside, following the doll's line of sight, there was a group of "people" lining up there, jumping one by one into the three bloody mouths growing on the wall.

Standing next to him was a tall figure in a suit with a skeleton animal head, smiling strangely, as if maintaining order.

Well, the order of queuing to die.

"...He must be looking at the menu on the wall."

"Oh oh oh, then his eyesight is really good." Hua Sha nodded seriously, believing it.

And these "whispers" were all heard by the puppets.

But early in the morning, when the controller didn't even wake up, he went out to look for food. In the end, it was dragged over by Jianzi, and it didn't care at all. Instead, it kept silently looking at the figure in the suit.

It is thinking about this "food", why is it all different from the ones it encountered before?

"By the way, Jianzi, shall we go to the buffet again later? I don't think there's enough coffee and cake."

Hua suddenly jumped to another topic, and touched his flat belly with a bit of distress.

For some reason, she always felt hungry.

"Hey, buffet?"

Jian Zi looked at the bloody mouth on the wall, chewing the ghosts that came to the door automatically one by one, and the pieces of meat flew all over the place. He also shook his head silently.

"...Sorry, I have no appetite."

"Well, well, then I'll buy more snacks later."

Hua, who didn't know what happened at all, lay down on the table listlessly, and then suddenly raised his head.

"By the way, Jianzi, how do you feel about classmate Jiafan?"

When she said this, her beautiful orange pupils were also shining.

The heart of gossip belonging to female high school students is still burning.

But for this question, Jianzi, who was sitting on the inner side of the sofa, reacted unexpectedly flatly.

She withdrew her gaze from that terrifying figure in a suit, subconsciously moved a little closer to the man sitting beside her, and replied in a low voice.

"It should be, a sense of security similar to that of a father."

"...Eh, father?"

Hua was stunned.

This answer is over the top.

Her gaze moved back and forth between Jianzi and the puppet several times, and she was in a daze for a while before she digested the outrageous answer.

"Well, yes, it's pretty good too."

With erratic eyes and a very unprofessional way of smoothing things over, Hua hesitated for a moment, then took out his mobile phone, trying to liven up the atmosphere.

"Hey, classmate Jiafan, do you want to see Jianzi's photo?"

But the puppet didn't respond to this.

He didn't want to talk to this stranger in the same class.

And this was not just indifference, it was an attitude of complete disregard, which also made Hua dumbfounded.

"Well, that, I have a lot of pictures of Mikoko here, you can take a look at it, it's just a glance, it's very cute."

Hua, who had spiral eyes, pointed the phone screen at the other party in a panic, and kept sliding the screen with his fingers.

"There are really a lot of photos..."

"stop."

A big hand grabbed her wrist in an instant, regardless of her astonishment, and directly snatched the phone away.

The puppet looked down at the photo on the phone, a group photo of two familiar girls, a dilapidated shrine in the background, and...

Some things that ordinary people can't see.

Three seconds later, he asked blankly.

"Where is this?"

no respond.

Because Hua Zheng was caught by a boy because of his wrist, and he was in a daze with steam on his head.

Regarding this, the puppet showed doubts, its eyes became a bit like looking at a fool, and then turned to the black-haired girl next to it, casting a questioning look.

"This is the shrine that Hua and I went to together before."

Looking at the photo image on the screen, Jian Zi replied weakly.

"Can you take me with you next time? I want to eat."

"...I'll be free in the afternoon."

"Thank you."

Putting the mobile phone back into the hand of the "fat" girl who was still in a daze, the puppet thanked politely, then stood up from the sofa, and walked towards the door in its own way.

Because the ghosts queuing up had all died at this time, the strange figure in the suit also left here.

He's going to follow and eat it.

Only Jianzi, who was a little stunned, looked at his back as he simply left. Like Hua, he was also stunned.

Why is this man like this?
