Mayor of Storybrooke!","i-tom-mu-mayor-of-storybrooke-284",284,"\"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.\"\nThe 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.\nWhen Tang Mu heard this, he somewhat disagreed with the words of the magic book.\nHe thought that given the old man's condition, just appearing on the pedestrian street would already be a big mess.\n\"My people! Take a closer look! What do you think of my new clothes? Isn't it very beautiful!\"\nThere 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.\nThat scene was really too shocking.\nMany passers-by have subconsciously raised their mobile phones and used their cameras to take pictures.\nAt this time, it was only a few years ago, but mobile phones had already had camera functions.\nAlthough the picture quality is not as good as that of future smartphones, it is enough for taking pictures of individuals at a static distance.\nThere are also some parents who originally wanted to join in the fun.\nFinally, 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.\n\"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!\"\nExcept for those watching the fun.\nMany people have already started calling the police.\nAs soon as he saw this situation, Tang Mu knew that he had to take the person away quickly.\nOtherwise, when the police come, things will be even more troublesome.\nIt doesn't want to conflict with the police of this world.\nAlthough I have just come to this world.\nBut Tom also saw it.\nThe real world of this world is a completely ordinary world.\nThere is no supernatural power.\nJust like the magic book says.\nIn this world, only magic books have some unusual powers.\nIn this case, it is better for the ordinary real world to continue to remain ordinary.\nTang Mu thought and took out a color palette.\nFirst, use a paintbrush to draw a mosaic on the palette.\nTaking off the mosaic from the palette, Tang Mu aimed at the lower body of the streaking old man and threw it away!\nJust listen to a \"pop\" sound.\nA mosaic appeared on the old man's body.\nAlthough it still looks very eye-catching.\nBut at least it's to the point where it won't get needle holes.\n  \"Wow!\"\nThe surrounding onlookers looked at the mosaic and exclaimed.\nApparently he was also surprised.\nWhen Tang Mu saw this, he quickly jumped off the landscape tree, rushed into the crowd, dragged the old man and ran out.\nThe old man was staggered by Tom Mu.\nThe magic book quickly jumped down from the tree, moved its slender legs, and galloped behind.\nBecause the old man was still naked at this time.\nEven in the process of escaping, he continued to attract everyone's attention.\nSo Tang Mu decisively dragged the old man into a street clothing store.\nI'm too lazy to worry about matching clothes.\nTang Mu directly stuffed the old man into the fitting room.\nThen I randomly grabbed two pieces of the largest size clothes from the hangers outside and rushed into the fitting room.\nI saw the old man sitting on the rotating seat in the fitting room with a confused look on his face.\nTom Mu didn't explain anything.\nDirectly put the big pink T-shirt with cartoon avatars on the old man!\nTurn the swivel seat under the old man's butt in a circle.\nTang Mu also gave the old man a haircut by the way.\nThen he turned the old man around directly.\nPut on pants and shoes for the old man.\nTom Mu grabbed the revolving seat and threw the chair and the person out of the fitting room!\nThe 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.\nTang Mu quickly paid while the store manager looked confused.\nAs soon as I left the store, I heard a rush of vehicle horns outside.\nIt turned out that the old man on the road was about to be hit by a large truck.\nWhen Tang Mu saw this, his eyes were quick and he pulled off the belt hanging on the shelf beside him.\nDirectly throw out the belt, tie up the rotating seat, and pull it back together with the old man!\n\"Oh my god! This is too scary!\"\nThe old man covered his heart, looking as if he was so frightened that he was about to stop breathing.\nTom grinned.\nI 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.\nTom Mu rushed over and snatched the bicycle from the college student!\n\"G! Whose cat is it! Why is it stealing someone's bicycle!\"\nWithout 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!\n\"Damn it! Five hundred yuan! That's enough for me to buy a new one!\"\nThe college students looked at the money in their hands and were amazed.\nI didn't even realize what happened.\n  \"Wait for me!\"\nThe magic book that had been following behind shouted and chased after him.\nJumped onto Tom Mu's back and hugged Tom Mu tightly.\nSo a scene like this appeared on the road.\nA cat is riding a bicycle and running wildly on the road with a book on its back.\nThe back of the bicycle is tightly connected by a belt, pulling a rotating seat!\nAn 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!\nTang Mu led the old man galloping around the city center at lightning speed.\nThe 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.\nJust by hearing that voice, you could tell that he was frightened.\nHowever, 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.\nAccording to Tom Mu's experience, the farther away from the city, the fewer people there are.\nTom Mu also headed towards the suburbs.\nFinally, after a period of high-speed riding, Tom Mu came to an abandoned factory.\nAfter checking for a while to make sure that no one was nearby, Tom Mu drove in.\n\"Squeak!\"\nWith the sound of brakes.\nTom Mu successfully stopped the car.\nAt this time, billowing black smoke came out of both the front and rear wheels of the bicycle.\nYou can imagine how fast Tom Mu rode his bike before.\nLooking 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.\n\"Hey! Are you okay?\"\nThe magic book also jumped off Tom Mu's back.\nWhen 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!\nAfter these two slaps, the old man looked much better.\nAt least there was a reaction when Tom Mu stepped forward and shined a small flashlight into his pupils.\nThis way you don't have to worry.\nAt least he shouldn't die.\nAfter 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.\nAlthough the magic book has already mentioned some information before.\nBut Tom also wanted to know some more detailed causes and consequences.\n\n            \n\n\n\n                 \nThis will make it clearer what it is doing.\nThe magic book turned his head and met Tom Mu's eyes, knowing what the cat wanted to know.\nAfter some time passed.\nThe magic book quite recognized Tang Mu's abilities.\nOpening 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.\"\n\"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.\"\n\"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.\"\n\"At that time, not only will a life be lost, but the story world he belongs to will also fall into chaos!\"\n\"So I need your help to bring these story characters out of the real world and back into their world.\"\nAs 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!\"\n  \"What?\"\nThe 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!\"\n\"If you die, just die. I said I won't go back, and I will never go back!\"\nWith a stubborn look on his face, the old man jumped down from his chair and prepared to walk out.\nSeeing 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!\"\n\"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?\"\n\"Children need your fairy tales!\"\nLooking at the anxious look on the magic book, you can see how strong its sense of responsibility is.\nWhen 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.\nIn fact, Tang Mu had already figured out the identity of the old man in front of him.\nIt is the emperor in Andersen's fairy tale \"The Emperor's New Clothes\".\n\"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.\nAt this time, Andersen was only 32 years old, and it was the third year since he started writing fairy tales.\nIt seems like a simple fairy tale.\nBut it reveals the vanity, stupidity and extravagance of the ruling class.\nThere 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.\nBut this good story is obviously not so good for the emperor.\n  as expected!\nAfter listening to the various persuasion in the magic book, the emperor became furious and his whole nose turned red with anger!\nPutting his face directly on the cover of the magic book, his big nose became flat.\nThe angry emperor shouted word by word: \"I! No! Want! Naked! Run! Did you hear clearly!\"\nThe emperor roared!\nThe huge sound wave made the magic book look frightened on its face, and its body leaned back involuntarily.\n\"If you don't want to, just don't want to. Why are you shouting so loudly!\"\nThe magic book felt aggrieved and took out a handkerchief to wipe away the saliva that the king sprayed on his face.\n\"Then tell me, what will you do if you don't go back? You can't really wait to die, right?\"\nThe magic book was also a little angry.\nIts responsibility is to ensure the orderly progress of the story world and to ensure that those stories will not disappear in the real world.\nBut it finally found Tang Mu for help.\nAs a result, the first story character I met was a tough guy like the emperor, and the magic book also felt very uncomfortable.\n\"Just die, I'm already that old anyway.\"\nThe emperor grunted, stood up straight again, and said something angrily.\nJust 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.\nSeeing this door, the emperor and the magic book were both stunned, obviously unable to react.\nTom Mu snapped his fingers and the door opened slightly.\nWhat caught their eyes was an extremely wide space.\nAlthough standing outside the door, you can't see the whole picture clearly.\nJust from this perspective, you can also know that it is a city that covers an extremely large area.\n  \"this……\"\nThe magic book was stunned, although it has the ability to connect to the story world.\nBut it is only responsible for connection.\nThe ownership of those worlds is not in its hands.\nIn other words, it is a manifestation of those worlds themselves.\n​That's why when it gets hurt, the story world inside it will also change.\n\"Is this your subspace?\"\nAfter the magic book was surprised, he immediately held his hands together and looked at Tang Mu with bright eyes.\nTom Mu held on to the door frame with one hand, put his other hand on his waist, and raised his chin proudly.\n\"It's great to choose you as my master! Wow!\"\nThe magic book jumped up and cheered happily!\nIt's obviously hard for it to jump so high despite its old arms and legs.\nCelebrateAfter congratulating him, the magic book looked at the emperor again.\nThe 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.\nThis emperor is indeed just like in the fairy tale, a very face-saving existence.\n\"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.\"\nThe 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.\nBut the emperor was obviously determined not to go back.\nIn this case, we can only settle for the next best thing and calm down the emperor first.\nNo matter what, as long as you don't disappear from the real world.\n\"Hmph, then I'll go take a look.\"\nThe emperor held his head high and walked towards the door of Tang Mu's space.\nSeeing the emperor enter the door, Tom Mu and Magic Book followed him in.\nAs everyone entered the space door.\nThe space gate located in the main world also slowly disappeared.\nThe entire abandoned warehouse returned to normal.\nIn the subspace, Tang Mu first arranged a place for the emperor to live, and then went to his house with the magic book.\nNow Tom Mu has almost figured out the rules of this world and what he wants to do in the future.\nWhat can be expected is that more and more story characters will definitely appear in the future.\nMore and more people will move in here.\nConsidering that most of the stories recorded in magic books are young people's books.\nThere are many fairy tales in it.\nThere will obviously be many fairy tale princesses and princes appearing in this space in the future.\nThis made Tom Mu unconsciously think of Fairy Tale Town.\nIt was a dreamy town inhabited by various fairy tale characters.\nNow its subspace also has a tendency to develop into a fairy tale town.\nIt's just that in its town, there are not only fairy tale characters, but also quite a few other story characters.\nThen it seems that this subspace should be renamed Story Town.\nAnd it is Tom Mu, the mayor of this story town.\nAs for the old magic book, it seems good to be a butler like Alfred.\nAs for this subspace.\nIn fact, it is the Infinite City that Tom Mu has not used for a long time.\nThe main reason is that Tom Mu himself is omnipotent enough, and Infinite City is basically of no use.\nI didn't expect that it would be useful here.\nUsing the ability of Infinite City, it is easy to build a small town in this subspace.\nIf you don't have enough space, or you need other things, you can think of another way.\nNext, Tom Mu wanted to see what the so-called completion of the story was like.\n  no doubt.\nFrom the perspective of my own world mission, the complementary story is still quite important.\nIt can be said that this is the key to its attempt to test the identity of the world.\nAfter returning to his mayor's mansion, Tom Mu told the old magic book about this matter.\nWhen the old magic book heard this, he was very surprised.\n\"What! Master, are you saying that you want to complete the story?!\"\nThe old magic book and Tom sat face to face.\nIn the middle of them is a small round table.\nThere are tea sets and fruit plates on the round table.\nIt's a pity that Infinite City can only manufacture buildings and furniture.\nBut we cannot create existences like food, vegetables and fruits out of thin air.\nNot even water.\nFrom this point of view, Tom Mu's story town still lacks a lot.\n\"Call me mayor.\"\nTom raised his chin and put his paws on his waist.\n\"Okay mayor.\"\nThe old magic book first changed the title obediently, and then said: \"But it is impossible for you to complete the story.\"\n\"You do not have an identity that belongs to the story world. This means that you cannot interpret the story.\"\n\"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.\"\n\"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.\"\nTom 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.\"\nWhen the old magic book heard this, he was also stunned.\nAlthough we have not been together with Tom for a short time, Tom is indeed an unexpected cat.\nIn this case, maybe you can really try it?\n\"If you insist, Mayor, then we can give it a try.\"\n\n            \n\n\n\n                 \nAs he said that, he opened the old magic book.\nIn the sound of turning the pages of the book.\nThe book page finally stopped at the page of \"The Emperor's New Clothes\".\n\"Mayor, have you seen \"The Emperor's New Clothes\"? Just follow that fairy tale!\"\nAs he said that, a space vortex had appeared in the pages of the old magic book.\nBefore Tang Mu could react, he was sucked in!",3343,"2026-06-05T15:23:28.309Z",1,null,"2aee627306f997083f88f794249e0a89c7f5b54de06418ebb7389d99c83da8bf","the-emperor-s-new-clothes-285","time-travel-283",463,"\u002Fcovers\u002F2744d9e2-255e-4853-bafb-59a1dcb29203-1780673005081.jpg"]
