Chapter 284: I, Tom Mu! Mayor of Storybrooke!

"Ah! That's him! The first story character to come to the real world! Fortunately, we came early. Otherwise, there would have been a big mess."
The magic book jumped out of Tom Mu's arms, jumped to a branch nearby, and screamed as he looked at the naked old man in the crowd below.
When Tang Mu heard this, he somewhat disagreed with the words of the magic book.
He thought that given the old man's condition, just appearing on the pedestrian street would already be a big mess.
"My people! Take a closer look! What do you think of my new clothes? Isn't it very beautiful!"
There was panic in the old man's eyes, but he still raised his hands and turned in a circle, exposing his body to everyone around him at 360 degrees.
That scene was really too shocking.
Many passers-by have subconsciously raised their mobile phones and used their cameras to take pictures.
At this time, it was only a few years ago, but mobile phones had already had camera functions.
Although the picture quality is not as good as that of future smartphones, it is enough for taking pictures of individuals at a static distance.
There are also some parents who originally wanted to join in the fun.
Finally, when I squeezed in to take a look, I saw such an eye-catching scene. I quickly covered the child's eyes and dragged him outside.
"Hey! 110?! Police uncle! There's an old man running around naked in the pedestrian street! Really! I'm not lying to you! Send someone over here quickly! It's disgusting!"
Except for those watching the fun.
Many people have already started calling the police.
As soon as he saw this situation, Tang Mu knew that he had to take the person away quickly.
Otherwise, when the police come, things will be even more troublesome.
It doesn't want to conflict with the police of this world.
Although I have just come to this world.
But Tom also saw it.
The real world of this world is a completely ordinary world.
There is no supernatural power.
Just like the magic book says.
In this world, only magic books have some unusual powers.
In this case, it is better for the ordinary real world to continue to remain ordinary.
Tang Mu thought and took out a color palette.
First, use a paintbrush to draw a mosaic on the palette.
Taking off the mosaic from the palette, Tang Mu aimed at the lower body of the streaking old man and threw it away!
Just listen to a "pop" sound.
A mosaic appeared on the old man's body.
Although it still looks very eye-catching.
But at least it's to the point where it won't get needle holes.
"Wow!"
The surrounding onlookers looked at the mosaic and exclaimed.
Apparently he was also surprised.
When Tang Mu saw this, he quickly jumped off the landscape tree, rushed into the crowd, dragged the old man and ran out.
The old man was staggered by Tom Mu.
The magic book quickly jumped down from the tree, moved its slender legs, and galloped behind.
Because the old man was still naked at this time.
Even in the process of escaping, he continued to attract everyone's attention.
So Tang Mu decisively dragged the old man into a street clothing store.
I'm too lazy to worry about matching clothes.
Tang Mu directly stuffed the old man into the fitting room.
Then I randomly grabbed two pieces of the largest size clothes from the hangers outside and rushed into the fitting room.
I saw the old man sitting on the rotating seat in the fitting room with a confused look on his face.
Tom Mu didn't explain anything.
Directly put the big pink T-shirt with cartoon avatars on the old man!
Turn the swivel seat under the old man's butt in a circle.
Tang Mu also gave the old man a haircut by the way.
Then he turned the old man around directly.
Put on pants and shoes for the old man.
Tom Mu grabbed the revolving seat and threw the chair and the person out of the fitting room!
The six small wheels under the swivel seat rolled gurglingly, leading the old man to slide out of the clothing store and directly to the road outside before stopping.
Tang Mu quickly paid while the store manager looked confused.
As soon as I left the store, I heard a rush of vehicle horns outside.
It turned out that the old man on the road was about to be hit by a large truck.
When Tang Mu saw this, his eyes were quick and he pulled off the belt hanging on the shelf beside him.
Directly throw out the belt, tie up the rotating seat, and pull it back together with the old man!
"Oh my god! This is too scary!"
The old man covered his heart, looking as if he was so frightened that he was about to stop breathing.
Tom grinned.
I heard the sound of police sirens in the distance, and without further delay, I saw a college student riding a bicycle and seemed to be planning to park aside.
Tom Mu rushed over and snatched the bicycle from the college student!
"G! Whose cat is it! Why is it stealing someone's bicycle!"
Without saying a word, Tang Mu stuffed hundreds of dollars into the hands of the college students, tied the belt behind the seat, then got on the bicycle and ran away!
"Damn it! Five hundred yuan! That's enough for me to buy a new one!"
The college students looked at the money in their hands and were amazed.
I didn't even realize what happened.
"Wait for me!"
The magic book that had been following behind shouted and chased after him.
Jumped onto Tom Mu's back and hugged Tom Mu tightly.
So a scene like this appeared on the road.
A cat is riding a bicycle and running wildly on the road with a book on its back.
The back of the bicycle is tightly connected by a belt, pulling a rotating seat!
An old man wearing a pink T-shirt on the revolving seat had a look of horror on his face. He clutched the seat under his butt, fearing that he would be thrown out by the fast-moving chair!
Tang Mu led the old man galloping around the city center at lightning speed.
The old man, who was hung behind by a belt, was tossed around as if he was playing some extreme sport, and he let out a series of shouts.
Just by hearing that voice, you could tell that he was frightened.
However, Tom Mu had no time to care about him for the time being. He just concentrated on riding his bike, looking for a remote and uninhabited place.
According to Tom Mu's experience, the farther away from the city, the fewer people there are.
Tom Mu also headed towards the suburbs.
Finally, after a period of high-speed riding, Tom Mu came to an abandoned factory.
After checking for a while to make sure that no one was nearby, Tom Mu drove in.
"Squeak!"
With the sound of brakes.
Tom Mu successfully stopped the car.
At this time, billowing black smoke came out of both the front and rear wheels of the bicycle.
You can imagine how fast Tom Mu rode his bike before.
Looking back, I saw that although the old man was still firmly seated on the revolving seat, and the fingertips holding the chair had turned white, his whole body was in a state of wandering soul, and he was even foaming at the mouth.
"Hey! Are you okay?"
The magic book also jumped off Tom Mu's back.
When I saw the old man like this, I was shocked. I was afraid that he would die here, so I jumped up quickly and slapped the old man twice!
After these two slaps, the old man looked much better.
At least there was a reaction when Tom Mu stepped forward and shined a small flashlight into his pupils.
This way you don't have to worry.
At least he shouldn't die.
After confirming that the old man was okay for the time being, Tom Mu turned his attention to the magic book, needing some explanations from it.
Although the magic book has already mentioned some information before.
But Tom also wanted to know some more detailed causes and consequences.

This will make it clearer what it is doing.
The magic book turned his head and met Tom Mu's eyes, knowing what the cat wanted to know.
After some time passed.
The magic book quite recognized Tang Mu's abilities.
Opening the pages of the magic book, he showed his torn pages to Tang Mu and said, "After my former little master tore the pages of my book, a lot of changes took place in the story world."
"Many of the story characters will come to the real world at different times. They will not only have a great impact on the real world."
"It can also be because they are not adapted to the real world and are rejected by the real world. Over time, these story characters will gradually dissipate."
"At that time, not only will a life be lost, but the story world he belongs to will also fall into chaos!"
"So I need your help to bring these story characters out of the real world and back into their world."
As soon as the magic book finished speaking, the old man who was still lying next to him suddenly sat up in a state of dying illness! He shouted violently: "No! I won't go back! I don't want to go back!"
"What?"
The magic book was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the old man wearing a pink T-shirt, with a look of disbelief on his face: "Why don't you go back! Didn't I just say that you will die if you continue to stay here!"
"If you die, just die. I said I won't go back, and I will never go back!"
With a stubborn look on his face, the old man jumped down from his chair and prepared to walk out.
Seeing this, the magic book rushed forward to stop the old man and shouted: "Why are you so resistant to going back! You are the king! Is there anything else that dissatisfies you!"
"If you don't go back, without your existence, the whole world will fall into chaos. The world will also lose the fairy tale "The King's New Clothes". Is this really good?"
"Children need your fairy tales!"
Looking at the anxious look on the magic book, you can see how strong its sense of responsibility is.
When Tang Mu saw the old man arguing with the magic book, he had no intention of breaking up the fight. He just sat aside and watched quietly.
In fact, Tang Mu had already figured out the identity of the old man in front of him.
It is the emperor in Andersen's fairy tale "The Emperor's New Clothes".
"The Emperor's New Clothes" was written in 1837 and published together with another fairy tale "The Daughter of the Sea" in the same year.
At this time, Andersen was only 32 years old, and it was the third year since he started writing fairy tales.
It seems like a simple fairy tale.
But it reveals the vanity, stupidity and extravagance of the ruling class.
There is no doubt that a fairy tale that has been circulated for so many years and can be translated into multiple versions and circulated around the world is definitely a good story.
But this good story is obviously not so good for the emperor.
as expected!
After listening to the various persuasion in the magic book, the emperor became furious and his whole nose turned red with anger!
Putting his face directly on the cover of the magic book, his big nose became flat.
The angry emperor shouted word by word: "I! No! Want! Naked! Run! Did you hear clearly!"
The emperor roared!
The huge sound wave made the magic book look frightened on its face, and its body leaned back involuntarily.
"If you don't want to, just don't want to. Why are you shouting so loudly!"
The magic book felt aggrieved and took out a handkerchief to wipe away the saliva that the king sprayed on his face.
"Then tell me, what will you do if you don't go back? You can't really wait to die, right?"
The magic book was also a little angry.
Its responsibility is to ensure the orderly progress of the story world and to ensure that those stories will not disappear in the real world.
But it finally found Tang Mu for help.
As a result, the first story character I met was a tough guy like the emperor, and the magic book also felt very uncomfortable.
"Just die, I'm already that old anyway."
The emperor grunted, stood up straight again, and said something angrily.
Just when the atmosphere became solemn, Tang Mu suddenly took two steps forward, raised his hand, and a door appeared out of thin air next to the magic book and the emperor.
Seeing this door, the emperor and the magic book were both stunned, obviously unable to react.
Tom Mu snapped his fingers and the door opened slightly.
What caught their eyes was an extremely wide space.
Although standing outside the door, you can't see the whole picture clearly.
Just from this perspective, you can also know that it is a city that covers an extremely large area.
"this……"
The magic book was stunned, although it has the ability to connect to the story world.
But it is only responsible for connection.
The ownership of those worlds is not in its hands.
In other words, it is a manifestation of those worlds themselves.
​That's why when it gets hurt, the story world inside it will also change.
"Is this your subspace?"
After the magic book was surprised, he immediately held his hands together and looked at Tang Mu with bright eyes.
Tom Mu held on to the door frame with one hand, put his other hand on his waist, and raised his chin proudly.
"It's great to choose you as my master! Wow!"
The magic book jumped up and cheered happily!
It's obviously hard for it to jump so high despite its old arms and legs.
CelebrateAfter congratulating him, the magic book looked at the emperor again.
The emperor also noticed the gaze of the magic book, and immediately retracted his gaze from looking at the space door, pretending not to care about anything.
This emperor is indeed just like in the fairy tale, a very face-saving existence.
"Let's go and go to my master's subspace. That's okay, right? Anyway, as long as you leave the real world, you won't disappear, and I won't let you go home."
The magic book put its hands on its hips and looked at the emperor with some dissatisfaction. Apparently, it actually wanted the emperor to return to his original world.
But the emperor was obviously determined not to go back.
In this case, we can only settle for the next best thing and calm down the emperor first.
No matter what, as long as you don't disappear from the real world.
"Hmph, then I'll go take a look."
The emperor held his head high and walked towards the door of Tang Mu's space.
Seeing the emperor enter the door, Tom Mu and Magic Book followed him in.
As everyone entered the space door.
The space gate located in the main world also slowly disappeared.
The entire abandoned warehouse returned to normal.
In the subspace, Tang Mu first arranged a place for the emperor to live, and then went to his house with the magic book.
Now Tom Mu has almost figured out the rules of this world and what he wants to do in the future.
What can be expected is that more and more story characters will definitely appear in the future.
More and more people will move in here.
Considering that most of the stories recorded in magic books are young people's books.
There are many fairy tales in it.
There will obviously be many fairy tale princesses and princes appearing in this space in the future.
This made Tom Mu unconsciously think of Fairy Tale Town.
It was a dreamy town inhabited by various fairy tale characters.
Now its subspace also has a tendency to develop into a fairy tale town.
It's just that in its town, there are not only fairy tale characters, but also quite a few other story characters.
Then it seems that this subspace should be renamed Story Town.
And it is Tom Mu, the mayor of this story town.
As for the old magic book, it seems good to be a butler like Alfred.
As for this subspace.
In fact, it is the Infinite City that Tom Mu has not used for a long time.
The main reason is that Tom Mu himself is omnipotent enough, and Infinite City is basically of no use.
I didn't expect that it would be useful here.
Using the ability of Infinite City, it is easy to build a small town in this subspace.
If you don't have enough space, or you need other things, you can think of another way.
Next, Tom Mu wanted to see what the so-called completion of the story was like.
no doubt.
From the perspective of my own world mission, the complementary story is still quite important.
It can be said that this is the key to its attempt to test the identity of the world.
After returning to his mayor's mansion, Tom Mu told the old magic book about this matter.
When the old magic book heard this, he was very surprised.
"What! Master, are you saying that you want to complete the story?!"
The old magic book and Tom sat face to face.
In the middle of them is a small round table.
There are tea sets and fruit plates on the round table.
It's a pity that Infinite City can only manufacture buildings and furniture.
But we cannot create existences like food, vegetables and fruits out of thin air.
Not even water.
From this point of view, Tom Mu's story town still lacks a lot.
"Call me mayor."
Tom raised his chin and put his paws on his waist.
"Okay mayor."
The old magic book first changed the title obediently, and then said: "But it is impossible for you to complete the story."
"You do not have an identity that belongs to the story world. This means that you cannot interpret the story."
"Let's find a way to get that fat emperor to take action. Now that we have your subspace, Mayor, many things will be much easier to handle."
"You can let him complete the story and come back to live in your town. If he is willing to give up his status as king."
Tom Mu patted his chest, took out a crown from nowhere and put it on his head. He said proudly: "I am the king now, and I can obtain the identity of the story world."
When the old magic book heard this, he was also stunned.
Although we have not been together with Tom for a short time, Tom is indeed an unexpected cat.
In this case, maybe you can really try it?
"If you insist, Mayor, then we can give it a try."

As he said that, he opened the old magic book.
In the sound of turning the pages of the book.
The book page finally stopped at the page of "The Emperor's New Clothes".
"Mayor, have you seen "The Emperor's New Clothes"? Just follow that fairy tale!"
As he said that, a space vortex had appeared in the pages of the old magic book.
Before Tang Mu could react, he was sucked in!
