The puppets' stage play

Chapter 331: vain and vain

Everything was white to the eye, and when I looked around, I saw similar scenery. It was as if they were separated from the original world. People's bodies were trembling. This scene comparable to a 'miracle' shocked everyone for the first time. .

Looking down from the sky, the earth seems to be wrapped in a "sea of ​​clouds". The pure white water stretches its body wantonly, and even looks nobler than the sky. It is like the heaven and earth are upside down, and the original "sky" is slightly different. Appear pale.

"That's it." The man did not stand up, but still stood on the lonely peak. "You don't need to look at others. As long as you are determined to do it, then just do it."

His eyes were fixed on the white flowers in front of him, but his face was filled with a proud smile.

At this moment, perhaps due to the influence of the surrounding atmosphere, the petals became more delicate, giving people a sense of transparency.

"Looking for ingenuity but not realizing it, now walking back and forth, there is a natural image. The so-called darkness is just the breath of the sky."

"A person who is alone is noble and pure in the world. He cannot be called a unique person."

The high-pitched and ethereal words lingered on the lonely peak, forming invisible misty winds that surrounded the man. Then, he did not pay attention to those traces, but looked at the white flowers in front of him intently, and murmured: .

"False white flowers, blocked by emptiness and obsession, what kind of scenery do you see at this moment?"

"Everything has another chance, I firmly believe that."

"So..." A look of loneliness appeared in the man's eyes, "I want to be happy."

He raised his head, and his body was covered by white waves, enveloping the lonely peak, and the sky and earth became empty again.

It was white, like a lifeless pure land.

Empty, like a decaying fountain that has lost its vitality.

And in the center of the world, there is only one place with bright scenery. It is a figure shrouded in long green hair. The crouched body slowly stretches out, as if waking up from a big dream. The eyelids are opened and closed, and the amber eyes are revealed. out.

"As expected..." She curled her lips. She was no stranger to this place. After all, she had always stayed here in the past. In other words, this was her former home.

[Choose, leave here and get the little happiness you dream of. 】

[Choose, sing loudly, spread your voice everywhere and abandon the ordinary. 】

[How do you choose, me? 】

Xi Muran looked at the options in front of him steadily, then chuckled, and with a wave of his hand, he completely 'tear' the options in front of him.

The words mixed with black lines floated down like snowflakes, and the girl stood there with her hands on her hips, a proud look on her face.

"Who wants to choose, you idiot!"

"If you want to persuade or stop, come out, otherwise I won't 'understand' what you mean." She emphasized a certain two words, and there was a trace of seriousness in her eyes. This time, she must have an attitude Be firm.

"Well...it's so annoying. You can't be gentle. This is your own strength."

Along with a complaint, the white clouds condensed in front of the eyes, and then transformed into the appearance of a certain figure. The person had a troubled look on his face and looked at him with disgust.

"I was sleeping earlier, you bastard..." the woman muttered dissatisfiedly.

Xi Muran raised his eyebrows. In front of him was 'himself' who was almost looking in a mirror. However, in fact, outsiders could tell at a glance that the other party was more mature than himself.

She squinted her eyes, always feeling that the other person was in need of beating, even though her usual attitude was so serious.

"Fake..." she muttered in a low voice. The corner of the woman's mouth twitched, and she immediately looked here with a smile full of leisure, with a hint of arrogance in her eyes.

"Humph, that's right. You still don't understand when you're 'young'. I'm a very trendy guy. People often come to me to learn from me and want to ask me about some cutting-edge knowledge."

The woman shook her head, as if you were short-sighted, and Xi Muran was very angry with that look.

"Old woman!" she shouted immediately.

"Bah, I am an innocent girl who is only eighteen years old. As a child, you don't understand." The woman curled her lips, raised her white neck, and looked here as if looking down, with a hint of pity.

"Oh." Xi Muran laughed instead. She raised her head and faced that annoying gaze, "It turns out to be aunt. It's such a pity. Shouldn't we respect the old man?"

Xi Muran had a pretentious smile on her face. Although she was not as tall as the other person, at this moment, her gaze gave people a feeling of being superior.

"It's so pitiful..." The woman shook her head with regret, her face full of pity, "You are still so young, your ears are not good, and they will definitely degenerate in the future. It's really... "

"Although I don't know what you think, aunt." Xi Muran said with a smile, but her words made the woman's brows jump sharply, "But, in our area, anyone over ten years old is an aunt."

"Eighteen years old or something..." The girl smiled, but no matter how she looked at it, she looked full of malice. "Half of her body is already buried in the ground. What a pity. The old man will die soon."

The woman's face instantly turned cold, and Xi Muran did the same. He sneered again for a moment, staring at the other person with an extremely cold expression on his face.

"It's such a boring life. If it were me, I would have turned this boring force upside down long ago." The woman said with indifferent eyes, but her tone was extremely serious.

"What a boring guy. If it were me, I would have done more interesting things a long time ago. You are just wasting your time." Xi Muran's mouth curled up slightly, but his eyes looked cold. This guy is indeed the same as himself. different.

The two looked at each other for a long time, then each shook their heads, their expressions softening.

"Because I am vain and vain." The woman's voice was soft, but her words were extremely serious, and her vast aura was immediately revealed.

Xi Muran's eyelids twitched, vaguely feeling that it took countless years of training and overcoming countless difficulties to reach the top of the world, and she sneered.

"The result was that he was not easily defeated."

"I only lost to that guy. Before it took action, I had suppressed all the other miscellaneous fishes. Of course, this is not an excuse for my failure."

Instead, Xu Baihua's expression seemed indifferent. She looked into the distance as if she was recalling the situation at that time.

"As for that realm, I could have crossed it originally, but I couldn't meet the conditions at that time, so I failed."

"I am a being favored by the world. As long as I want to do something, it will definitely succeed. Just like my behavior all the time, no one will care whether it is good or evil."

"This is preferential treatment for me."

Xu Xuan Bai Hua's tone was still cold, but Xi Muran could vaguely hear the desolation in it.

"......The condition is that you can't cross that line?" Xi Muran, who inherited the other party's power, also probably knew what state the other party was in, so she couldn't help but ask aloud, this was related to her future future. .

"You don't have to worry." Xu Xiangbaihua glanced here, the meaning in his eyes was complicated and inexplicable, "Although for some reasons, as long as the conditions are met, we can easily advance, but the road before reaching that condition will be It becomes longer accordingly.”

"But it's not that it's stopping us, it's a necessary experience. After all, once we reach that state, we can really get close to that limit soon, although it's not a big deal."

Xu Huan Bai Hua shook her head. She had been at the pinnacle of the universe for too long and had long been accustomed to that kind of scenery. She had no desire to become stronger and just lived as she pleased.

"That's great..." Xi Muran sighed softly. She has never had such an experience. She also wants to play for a while in the future, so if she becomes super strong in advance, she will have a lot of leisure time. .

"Ah, by the way, what are the conditions?" She suddenly remembered that the other party didn't get to the point even after talking for a long time. He was really a roundabout guy.

"I am the flower of gray traces that has bloomed. Apart from that, there is nothing."

Xuwu Baihua glanced here, and then said in an ethereal tone, and her figure gradually faded. In contrast, Xi Muran's body became more and more crystal clear.

"Well..." Xi Muran frowned, thinking of the white horse and the glorious idol that she had always wanted to break, and her eyes couldn't help but shine with thought.

Could it be related to these two things?

[Inheriting the glory of the past and the chains that connect others, integrating the two, and practicing it with a strong will as a self-expression for the future, that is the way to advance. 】

Xuwu Baihua's lips didn't move, but the voice came through, as if it sounded deep in his soul.

"..." Xi Muran looked at the other party, but understood why the other party could not go any further, because 'she' had nothing to care about, and had no memory of the past. 'She' was just living. , so that is not the will to move forward.

"..." Can I do that?

Xi Muran couldn't help but question herself in her heart, but she couldn't answer the answer to this question. To a certain extent, she and the other party were almost the same, they were both selfish people who would give up others without hesitation.

In the future, probably nothing will change.

With a cold feeling on his forehead, Xi Muran subconsciously raised her hand. In front of her was Xuanhua Baihua, who was standing upright again, and her fingertips were slowly retracting.

[Then, why don’t you give up that talent? Obviously I have given you other choices? 】

Facing those calm eyes, Xi Muran's eyes wandered and he couldn't help but look to one side.

At the lowest end of the talent column, there is such a 'low quality' talent that she has never replaced since it appeared.

[Sojourner (White), as a young son of God but taken care of by an incompetent person, a family that exists as a guardian, has no value or effect, and has the minimum power to move around the federal city. 】

"Father, he... is very poor." Xi Muran lowered his eyes, with a hint of hazyness in his tone, "While he is working hard to make progress, study those creatures, and accumulate knowledge, he has not forgotten me just because I have nothing to do with him... ....”

"I didn't show much talent at the beginning, I just worked hard as an ordinary kid, but at that time... he always smiled and encouraged me, it's okay, I can do better next time. "

"However, at that time, I didn't feel grateful, nor did I think there was anything wrong with pretending to be myself. Anyway, I never expected others from the beginning. Everyone would leave, and he was no exception."

"So weak. As a living creature, so weak. As a guardian, I would always laugh at him in my heart. When will this guy with nothing give up on me?"

Click.

Cracks appeared on the talent bar, and at this moment, they were still spreading. Except for the talents that were stained with flawless light and those that revealed golden light, all other parts were swallowed up by the cracks.

Xuwu Baihua looked at the girl in front of him silently, and his face that was always filled with pride now showed an extremely serious expression.

"If it is an option, it can easily solve my hiding place. If it is a powerful talent that is extracted, it can also increase the chance of being appreciated by others. In fact, I don't need to stay here."

"A few times, I grabbed the doorknob and wanted to leave, but... I stayed."

Xi Muran spoke in a sincere tone, describing his psychological activities at that time.

"Why, I asked myself, but my body couldn't help but move..." She raised her gaze and looked at the silent white flowers, but there was a trace of a smile on her face.

The color of memories appeared in his amber eyes.

[A petite figure walked around the room, arranging crooked utensils from time to time. Finally, she sat peacefully on the soft sofa in the middle, lost in thought.

She pinched her face, feeling the pain, and then sighed.

Could it be that he is possessed by evil spirits?

What's so good about this crappy place? I'm not stupid. Why do I want to stay here? One of the talents I acquired before can be used. It can allow me to enter a rich family and have enough space to move around in the name of a distant relative. .

It's free and you don't have to worry about this annoying guy anymore...

crunch.

Leaning back, looking at the pure white ceiling, a look of confusion appeared on the little girl's face. What on earth had happened to her?

Forget it, let's go. She stood up and her eyes became determined. This time, she must leave.

Boom, click.

The door opened in response, and the man ran in with a happy face, the smell of green mud still on his hands. He first smiled at the dumbfounded girl beside him, and then ran to his room. After a while, Ding Ding The sound of "dong dong" came out.

Tsk.

The girl who wanted to say hello felt unhappy, but she did not have an attack. Instead, she walked slowly to the door of the other party's room. Perhaps out of eagerness, the door was not closed tightly, and she was able to peek into the room.

She cautiously reached over her head and observed the other party's actions inside.

The man placed many samples on the table as always. He touched his hand on his waist and a red stone appeared on his hand. He gently placed it in the empty space and looked at the other person with a serious expression and his eyes were extremely serious.

The girl curled her lips, "That's it again, this guy really only thinks about this," she turned around and left.

"...We all have to work hard for each other." She paused and looked into the room. The man temporarily took his eyes away from the red stone and his eyes softened.

He looked at the square disk placed sideways. Among them, there was a photo. The girl stood upright and faced the picture with a very restrained smile.

The girl vaguely remembered that the photo was taken by the other party when she and the other party first met. Of course, she still looked very embarrassed at that time.

"..." She watched the scene silently.

The man murmured in a low voice, then turned his head again and looked at his other collections, with a look of excitement on his face.

"..." Gently closing the door, the girl walked slowly to the sofa in the middle. She let out a breath, but there was a trace of dissatisfaction on her face.

"Really, don't always remember that kind of embarrassing thing, you incompetent guy..." She almost gritted her teeth and said, but even she herself didn't notice that a smile appeared on her face. 】

"That person can't do it without me. She can't eat, she can't take care of herself, she can't remember things, she can't do anything. If she wants me to leave her, even a stone-hearted person would think it's a bit too much."

Xi Muran smiled, and the light in his eyes became brighter. It was a smile that was enough to blow away all the darkness.

"...Then I wish you happiness." Xuwu Baihua shook her head, her expression still looked cold, but a hint of envy could not help but appear in her eyes, which was then wiped away by the deeper coldness.

She turned around and walked deeper.

[From now on, you will be vain and vain. 】

The nameless existence declared this, and then disappeared at the end.

Xi Muran shook his head vigorously, his eyes extremely determined.

"I'm just Xi Muran, I will never be you, I swear."

The talent column suddenly exploded, and her heart was empty. She suddenly realized that she had lost this ability. Just like she had torn apart the options with her own hands before, from now on, she could only rely on herself.

And in the corner of his sight, only four talents remained.

The stone flower that is half gray and half white, the white horse promise with a vague surface, the glorious idol that is almost occupied by the light, and... the sojourner who is almost transparent - Xi Muran's expression was shocked, something is wrong.

The 'Sojourner' was shaking violently, as if it might explode at any time, and she couldn't help but feel a trace of worry in her heart.

[Congratulations, my child, this was never the wrong choice. 】

Xi Muran frowned. Inexplicably, a strange sound sounded in his ears. He seemed to have heard this sound before. When was it...

Poof, like a sound of air leakage, the three words "Sojourner" were superimposed on everything, making it look extremely distorted.

【——————————————————————】

'It' paused suddenly, then looked this way in a humane way, and then shook it slightly, as if waving its hand, Xi Muran's expression became surprised.

She turned around, jumped, and fell from the sky. Light overflowed from it. Faintly, she heard an extremely clear sound, like dewdrops blowing off a bamboo plate.

Light and loud.

Xi Muran's eyes narrowed, ignoring the bright light, and looked forward again, and a new existence was revealed.

['Citizens of the Federation', the world is as big as ours, we are all friends, we are not bound by prejudice, the determined blood descendants of the old generation will eventually move forward, this is your 'home'! 】

Xi Muran nodded solemnly.

"That's right, I think so too. Then, let me make a big fuss. There is probably a riot outside now, so it's time for me to appear again."

“Comfort and light transmission are essential conditions for living, so we can’t be careless at all.”

"Crush all the bugs to death. After all, I am a very 'clean' person."

"By the way, I'll try to make a breakthrough. No matter how much I think about it, I can't be worse than that old lady. This is the first step to prove myself."

Xi Muran turned around with an excited smile on his face. Pure white light flashed in his eyes, and his expression became fanatical, like a diner longing for a rare meal.

She touched her belly, and the smile on her face grew stronger.

"I'm hungry too. Let's settle everything quickly and then have a big meal in peace."

"Look carefully, this is my stage. After all, I am a candidate and a person with style."

"Okay, let's start!"

She shouted, and the light from all around rushed in, completely submerging her body.
