The old man opened his mouth, revealing two rows of uneven yellow teeth:

"The evil rebel member Heart King broke into the palace and assassinated the Little Ghost King. Fortunately, the Big Ghost Queen discovered and caught him, then first chopped off his head, and then inserted his head and body into the palace.

Here for others to scorn."

Hala looked at the golden crown on the head of the King of Hearts. Although it was stained with blood, the crown was still shining under the sunlight, and the several gems inlaid on it also reflected the bright light, just like death.

This crown cannot be tarnished.

The old man added:

"That is a fake crown cast by the King of Hearts after robbing the common people's wealth. He always wears this crown. The Demon Queen ordered him to wear this crown after his death, so that everyone can see what this fake king has.

How funny."

Hora looked at the king's lonely head hanging on the tip of a spear.

The skin on the head, like the rest of the body, was unusually pale, but the eyes were completely different from those of ordinary corpses, and there were no signs of decay. The brown beard looked messy, and it looked like it was dead even in life.

It hasn't been taken care of for a long time.

The King of Hearts closed his eyes tightly and curved the corners of his mouth downwards, always making Ha La feel that he would open his eyes and yell in the next second.

But he died after all.

Peloris looked at the empty street and asked:

"Grandpa, why is there no one on the street?"

The old man laughed twice:

"Why? Because there is a plague here, don't you know?"

Peloris remembered the noun mentioned by the guard and asked without changing her expression:

"Is happiness disease that scary?"

The old man laughed loudly:

"Hahahaha, scary?"

The old man smiled and shook his head:

"For the patients, this process is not scary. Although they know that they will eventually die, all patients will die laughing from the bottom of their hearts.

"Even the moment before death, they were happy.

"But to normal people, it's so weird that it drives people crazy."

Peloris looked at the old man's strange expression and couldn't help but take two steps back:

"Then how is this disease transmitted?"

The old man smiled gloomily twice:

"Haha, of course it's contagious through laughter."

When several people heard this, they immediately stepped back, even Peloris showed a fearful expression.

"Hahahahaha." The old man raised his head and laughed, then said calmly, "I'm just kidding, is it possible that it spreads through laughter?"

Several people breathed a sigh of relief, but looked at the old man a little more warily.

The old man chuckled and said:

"If it is only spread through laughter, then locking up all patients or wearing earplugs to communicate in sign language can largely suppress the spread of the disease, but..."

The smile in the old man's eyes became stronger and stronger:

"But it can't be stopped. Even if a person isolates himself in a room and doesn't communicate with anyone, he will suffer from this disease.

"Nothing can stop the spread of 'happiness', hahaha,"

The old man stretched out his hand and pinched his cheek, forcing himself to stop laughing:

"No matter how others describe happiness disease to you, they are lying to you. The moment you step into this country...

"Death is already destined."

The old man covered his mouth and continued:

"But you can rest assured that it will be a long time before death comes. It may be a month, or it may be several years. You can complete your own affairs within this time.

"After all, you are taking such a big risk to enter the Poker Kingdom. You must have your reasons. I won't ask you what you want to do, as long as you don't get involved with the rebels."

After saying this, the old man lost interest in chatting with a few people and turned around to leave.

After the old man walked some distance away, Antotika spoke:

"We'd better go back..."

Fanny said:

"We have no food and water, especially water. If no one rescues us within a few days or we find a way to leave on our own, we will probably die on the road. Even before that, we will be incapacitated and helpless.

Waiting to die of dehydration."

Inge said worriedly:

"But every second we stay here, we are more likely to suffer from that happy disease. Although it doesn't sound very scary, if this is really a terminal disease that will kill the patient, we are already in a state of

In danger."

Hala said:

"And we don't know what kind of money they use. If they know that pounds are money used by people on earth, they will probably find out our identity."

Fanny continued:

"Then we will become the next Prince Gawain."

Peloris took a deep breath and said slowly:

"Inge, you are the person who knows the most about this place. Tell us everything you know, even if the information is probably wrong now."

After hearing the question, Yingge said without thinking:

"As far as I know, this country is ruled by the King of Hearts and the Queen of Hearts. Apart from the positions of the King and Queen, there is only a somewhat crazy Duke of Spades who has greater power. Besides them, there are also

The Knight of Diamonds is loyal to the King of Hearts, and the Lady of Clubs is the wife of Duke Brown Sugar.

"If we treat this world as a fairy tale, the King of Hearts and the Queen are the rulers of this world. They are kind at heart, but they may not necessarily give us much help. The Duke of Spades and the Lady of Clubs are a bit like the hidden villains, and the Diamonds

The knight is the kind of righteous and good person on the surface."

Fanny reminded:

"But this is not a fairy tale. No fairy tale would chop off the king and hang it on a spear for people to watch. If I look up now, I can even see a cross-section of his esophagus and trachea."

Inge explained:

"I'm just saying what I know, and a long time ago, I believed that this country might really be like a fairy tale, but somehow it became what it is now.

"In addition to the few people I just mentioned, there are forty nobles. Although they are nobles, they are not as distinct as on the ground. They are simply divided into four colors from one to ten. That is, from hearts

One to ten of hearts, one to ten of spades, one to ten of diamonds, one to ten of clubs.”

Antotika's expression calmed down a lot:

"What we just saw..."

Yingge pointed to the body of the King of Hearts and said:

"It's the one of hearts and the one of diamonds. I just counted, and there are thirteen dark hearts on his clothes. In the legend, there are thirteen hearts on the King of Hearts' robe, plus

Shangk originally means king, so I am now 90% sure...

"He is the former ruler of this land - the King of Hearts."
