The puppets' stage play

Chapter 397 Those past events that were recorded

Bang bang bang.

The bamboo joints were stacked together, then shook, and invisible sound waves spread around.

Opening his eyes, he saw a blurry scene ahead. His fingers were flipping in the air, his eyes became crystal clear, but the thick fog in front of him still lingered and was still firmly locked in front of his eyes.

"..." He put down his hand and started thinking.

He remembered that he was still in school before, and then, there seemed to be a voice. His thoughts were interrupted for a moment, and he felt the blankness in his brain. He had to admit that he knew nothing about it.

Including...who are you?

"This way, this way." A soft voice with a hint of urging sounded. He turned his eyes and saw a faint figure in the thick fog waving his hand this way.

Suddenly, a sourness and warmth arose in his heart, and he couldn't help but take steps forward.

He didn't know what that thing was, but he knew exactly what he wanted to do now.

Thin clouds and mist wrapped around my legs, like walking among muddy algae. Whether I was moving forward or retreating, there was a sense of stagnation.

What a hindrance, he couldn't help but think with an impatient look on his face. He put more force on his feet and 'marched' hard towards the front.

Not long after, with his remaining determination, he arrived at the location of the previous figure.

However, even when he was close, the figure was still vague and vague, like a phantom that simply existed within his sight.

Suppressing this somewhat gloomy thought, he turned his eyes. In front of him was a round table carved with pure white stone. A blurry figure, referred to as a shadow. Shi Shiran sat down, and the pair of expressionless faces were pointed towards this side. .

"........."

Faced with that speechless gaze, he sat down without thinking, not thinking about other possibilities. Maybe the person in front of him was someone who wanted to do something bad to him... or something like that.

Puff puff.

There was a sound of suffocating air, and he turned his gaze, and a shadow appeared again on the other side. It looked taller than the former, and it also gave him a familiar feeling.

The subsequent shadow also sat down and stared silently at this side like the previous shadow.

He was obviously able to talk before, but this thought flashed through his mind. Then, he suppressed it. Maybe it was just a random thought in his mind, or an auditory hallucination.

"............." He was still being watched, but instead, his face showed a relaxed expression and a happy smile. His heart was ups and downs, but he always maintained a relaxed attitude. A high level.

The inexplicable gaze is staring here, it is a light, cold gaze without a trace of warmth.

"My uncle is very kind to me. Although he usually looks carefree, he unexpectedly likes fluffy things. For this reason, my sister and I laughed at him for a long time."

"And my sister, she always seems to think that I will be cheated by others, and she always secretly tells me some tips on how to deal with other people's relationships. Although I think she is overly worried, I also like this about her very much."

"I have given up on the Qi I cultivated before. Rather than inheriting your family business, I may be able to create a new career on my own."

"I am a very obedient child, but unfortunately, that is not my intention. Sometimes I feel that the relationship between you is too close, and there is no room for me to intervene, so I act like that to attract your attention. "

He spoke as if there was no one around, with a faint smile on his face. His eyes looked at the two shadows from time to time, and as he spoke, the two shadows nodded from time to time, as if they were responding.

"Also, I--" He opened his mouth and his eyes were filled with uncertainty.

"Your heart is too weak." A sound like a sharp knife suddenly sounded, interrupting his narration. He stopped talking and looked to one side. The snow-white horns were extremely conspicuous, and the rose-red eyes looked here. .

Enod's expression was stern, as if he were looking at a useless descendant, with a cold look in his eyes.

"...I know." Qi Xiu was silent for a moment, then said with a smile.

He looked to one side again, and the two shadows became shallower and shallower, gradually losing their traces in his gaze.

The memory awakened in his brain, but he still missed the emotion that flowed in his chest before. In the depths of his soul, the 'reshaping' started as usual, swallowing up this emotion.

His heart suddenly became empty, but there was a trace of reason in his eyes. Qi Xiu looked at the new teacher in front of him, and a flash of relief flashed in his eyes.

"After all, I'm just an ordinary kid." He replied calmly.

"Really, then in order for you to move forward, this obvious weakness must be eliminated." Enod's stern face turned, and a gentle smile appeared again.

He sat down and looked at Qi Xiu with his rose-red eyes.

"There is no shortage of abilities in this world that specifically target mental flaws. If you want to become stronger, you have to overcome your weaknesses step by step. Even if the other party really shows the scene in your memory, you can kill it without hesitation. Just kill."

"For your own progress, even if you kill all the people, relatives and friends, you must have a clear conscience. Every step you take is the real encouragement to those who support you. Even if they face the butcher knife you hold high, they will smile Bless you."

"Don't be bound by common ideals. As long as you can become stronger, it is allowed."

Like a real teacher, Enode gave serious and sincere advice. However, the words it said were so deviant.

"Is this the code of conduct on the plateau?" Qi Xiu didn't want to comment on this, he just raised his own question.

"No, this is just our principle. It is not appropriate to use this style of behavior there." Enod shook his head and then said solemnly.

"Let me tell you a story. It's a little thing that happened before I came here that left a deep impression on me."

Enold's head was slightly raised, and ripples could not help but appear in his cold, rose-red eyes.

It is natural for Qi Xiu to do so. As a student, it is natural to listen to the words of teachers.

"Once upon a time, I didn't have the kind of cultivation I have now. At that time..."

.................................................. .................................................. .............................................

Bang bang bang.

A spear shining with golden light stood across the sky, and the tip of the spear was brewing with a powerful force that could destroy several realms. However, this power was blocked.

stab.

The spinning palms rushed down like sharp knives. There was a deep chill in the rose-red eyes. The snow-white horns behind him stood upside down, like two wild knives that were waving endlessly.

Clap clap clap.

The fierce confrontation never stopped. The Qi machines that spread throughout the fragmented world collided with each other. The strong men from both sides fought each other, and the world beneath them was about to collapse.

But this close threat could not stop the two from fighting. Even in the face of the violence born when the world was destroyed, the devil and the man with a heroic face still refused to give in to each other.

Not far away from them, there are the same figures, demons with fanatical eyes and men with solemn expressions, fighting here for different obsessions in their hearts.

In the outside world, the brilliant dawn suddenly lit up, colliding with the stunning scenery like a wheel.

Dili.

There was a sound like broken glass, the devil's hand was empty, and the attack that was bound to hit him thrust forward with his body.

The man with a heroic face had half of his body plunged into the boundless darkness, but he still struggled to deliver his fatal blow, his eyes full of determination.

Whoosh, the cold wind that can break one's bones pours in from the original barrier of the world, pounces on the still fighting figures like naughty children, pulling the flesh and blood, stirring the soul, with laughter. Malice begins to take over.

That is the specialty of the Void Demon ladies. Everyone present, no matter which camp they belong to, will be destroyed by them and used as materials to breed future generations.

And for the two huge parties, this is just some unnecessary consumables. It doesn't matter, and naturally no one will care.

"Taking advantage of others' danger, you bastards!!!"

The man with a ferocious look in his eyes and a heroic face roared angrily. He turned the tip of the original spear and pierced his body. Hearing the sudden sound of fear in his ears, the invisible turbulence was expelled from his body. .

He smiled boldly, his eyes full of joy, but his body became tattered as a result, and the originally strong Qi weakened in an instant. If this continued, even if he was left alone, he would die.

The demon stopped and drove away the evil guests that had penetrated into his body. He looked at the man and planned to turn around and leave.

Unlike those demons who relentlessly pursue their enemies, he prefers to fight with his opponents to reach a higher realm. Therefore, this person who just ignores him has lost his value.

"Hey, stinky guy, don't leave yet."

The rude voice sounded behind him, and the demon stopped and turned to look back.

"What?" he asked coldly.

"Tsk, at least we can talk about our intimate relationship with each other, but we are so cold." A confused and arrogant smile appeared on the man's face.

The devil looked at each other silently.

"I'm going to die. I feel a little regretful when I think about it. Go and deliver something to me." The man reluctantly held on to the section on the ground, resisting the suction coming from below. As for asking the other party for help, the man would naturally not do that. .

"I won't do it." The devil refused. If word spread, it would become a collaborator with the enemy.

"It's not a big deal. Just do it when you think of it. Oh, even if you don't do it, I won't know."

There was a softness in the man's eyes, an expression that suggested he was remembering some precious memory.

"You can do whatever you want with them. You can kill or chop them into pieces. I really hate when someone is sad. Sending them to stay with me can be considered a benefit to them."

The man's expression was warm, but his words were particularly cold.

The demon stared at the other.

"You are more of a devil than me." It vaguely understood that it was entrusted with family by the other party. This kind of thing is actually not uncommon. The two sides have been fighting for so long, and the soldiers involved have long been aware of it.

Even if they die, it would not be surprising. In other words, since they entered the battlefield, they have been aware of death.

Therefore, although it is not stated explicitly, among the middle and lower classes, when faced with an enemy they have fought with, soldiers will entrust their families far away from the war zone to an enemy they think is "strong enough".

Compared to family members, enemies who can listen to one's final words appear to be closer to one another. It is only normal for soldiers with distorted consciousness and emotionally corrupted emotions to have such thoughts.

As for the final requirement, there are different requirements depending on the degree of distortion.

For example, at least send back your belongings as a souvenir to your family.

For another example, please send your remaining family members to accompany you on your lonely journey.

The devil didn't count, but he vaguely knew that the latter accounted for a larger proportion. Of course, some even proposed the idea of ​​killing them first and then killing them one by one, but that was a more extreme guy.

Usually, people with normal thinking will only entrust their families to the forces behind them. Of course, this situation... is also very rare. People with that kind of strong belief can often become strong and will naturally not be distorted.

"...I understand." The devil nodded and agreed to the job. As for whether to do it or not, as the other party said, it was entirely up to it to decide.

The man's eyes relaxed, and a gentle smile appeared on his face. Then, he let go of his hand and threw something towards this side, which was swallowed up by the abyss beneath him.

The devil reached out to catch it. He looked down and saw that it was a golden pocket watch. He immediately put it away and turned around to leave.

.................................................. .................................................. .............................................

"What happened next?" Qi Xiu's eyes flickered, and then he asked softly.

"Later." Enold looked over here, "I applied for a short vacation and planned to go take a look."

.................................................. .................................................. .............................................

In front of you is the blue-white door, with some white strips remaining on the wall.

The devil walked closer, with a look of contemplation in his eyes. This place was not close to the front line, and there was no strong garrison. The whole world was not strong, and even the strongest person was just a weak guy.

Even if he walks openly on the road, no one can find his trace.

However, the strong man who could rival him came from here. When he thought of this, even his determined heart couldn't help but sigh.

Maybe, that guy is a great guy here too.

While thinking deeply, he knocked on the door. After a period of silence, slightly hasty footsteps sounded.

crunch.

The door was pushed open and he subconsciously took a step back.

In front of her was a graceful figure, with smooth black hair draped behind her, bead curtain-like bangs hanging on her eyebrows, a pair of melancholy almond-shaped eyes, the corners of her eyes looked a little red and swollen, and she was dressed in a pale white coat.

"...Aren't you here..." the woman said lonelyly, and then turned around to go back to the house, but her movements seemed extremely cautious, as if she was afraid of others breaking in without permission.

The demon raised his head and could faintly smell the breath of the barrier. As for why the other party couldn't see him, it was naturally because he had no intention of showing up in front of the other party.

In fact, he did not intend to fulfill the man's dying wish. It would be fine if it was for a strong person, but if it was for a weak person... he had never been interested in such things.

However, he glanced at the figure who still had a trace of vigilance in his eyes, and couldn't help but think that maybe he could take a rest here and see how that person grew to that level, which might also be of some help to him.

Thinking of this, he moved his lips and made a sound.

".......it's me."

The woman's movements were startled, and her expression became dull. Looking here, the man with a shadow in his eyes and an arrogant smile on his face walked out calmly.

Snap, almost instantly, she rushed over, big tears rolling down.

"They said you were dead... I have been waiting for you... great..."

Looking at the figure crying in his arms, the devil felt no emotion in his heart. He imagined the man's posture. In this way, he could overlap with the other person's life trajectory to the maximum extent. This was the most effective plan.

Then, next, try not to be discovered, even if you are discovered, it doesn't matter, the devil thought lightly in his heart.

There was another burst of hurried footsteps. He raised his head and peered in front of the door to see a small figure.

There was a trace of doubt in the latter's eyes. She looked at her mother and then at the man, feeling a subtle strange feeling in her heart.

"Look, Sasha, daddy is back." The woman turned her head, her eyes full of smiles, and she urged the other person again and again.

The girl named 'Sasha' nodded and was staring here with her clear yellow eyes.

"Oh, Dad, after being away for so long, I wonder if you still remember your daughter's name?" The girl's tone was calm, giving people a calm feeling.

The devil's heart moved, and a glimmer of color flashed in his eyes. In an instant, he successfully read the world's information. It was also because this world was too weak that he could do so easily.

However, feeling the familiar feeling, he shook his head in his mind, maybe that man was the culprit of this result.

"Sakona, that's right." The devil replied calmly.

A look of surprise flashed in the girl's eyes, which was immediately suppressed by her. She bit her lips and managed to show a well-behaved expression.

"As you said, it's great, mother." The girl's eyes turned to the side, and the woman smiled helplessly. Sasha still liked to doubt that it was obviously her father's.

There was a stinging pain in her heart, and her eyes became blank for a moment, and a faint, contemptuous gaze swept across her body.

'You will always be mine, remember that. ’

The woman curled up, her body trembling uncontrollably.

"Go back." The devil glanced at the figure in his arms and said calmly.

The girl nodded silently, and then reluctantly gave up her position in front of the door. The devil took a step forward, and some kind of detection method was swept across his body, and then he lost his reaction.

The devil nodded in his mind, that man did have some tricks up his sleeve.

I'm afraid, unless someone far stronger than him takes action, nothing will happen until he, a recognized existence, comes. If it were anyone else... He looked at the figure running to the side, and a thought flashed across his mind. A scene where he was instantly crushed into a pulp.

Both people in this house will die. The devil is sure of this. The only one who accepts the man's commission is also responsible for killing the two people. From this point of view, the man is indeed a devil.

However, it was not up to others to argue what he would do. With this thought flashing through his mind, the devil put the woman aside and held the other person's trembling palm firmly.

"Don't worry, I'm here."

Listening to the gentle words in her ears, the woman's body stopped trembling, but her pupils trembled slightly, looking here in astonishment.

The devil's expression remained normal. No matter what, he would only follow his own principles.

"Are you..." the woman asked in a trembling voice, then covered her mouth and looked to the side with a hint of eagerness in her eyes.

"I'm your husband, that's all."

Sasha paused her palms, slowly put down the sharp blade in her hand, and looked here with complicated eyes. The devil did not pay attention to the actions of the small figure behind him, and his eyes remained calm.

"Then...welcome back." The woman took a breath, with a hint of relief in her eyes. A quiet smile spread from the corner of her mouth, looking at the 'strange' figure in front of her.

The devil nodded, and the family was reunited.

.................................................. .................................................. .............................................

Enold temporarily stopped talking and looked here with his calm rose-red eyes.

"So, after hearing this, what do you think about my next actions? Will I kill two people after achieving my goal, or will I do something else? Tell me?"

Facing Enode's gaze, Qi Xiu couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

If it were him, what would he do?
