Chapter 145 Fragments of Memories
(There is a close interaction between Chen Xi and Dao Wu, the speed is fast, those who mind please read at your own discretion)
As the lantern bearer stepped into the wilderness, he saw a girl a few years younger than himself suddenly flying over and rushing into Chen Xi's arms.
From Chen Xi's skillful receiving action, it can be seen that this behavior must have been carried out many times.
"Anma, didn't I tell you to be careful when I come back? Don't rush over so hard."
"Hehehe, this is because I miss my master."
Because Chen Xi didn't have anything in his hands, Anma simply didn't get up and just stayed in his arms and acted coquettishly.
However, she soon noticed the girl standing behind Chen Xi with a bad expression on her face, who was about to step back in disgust.
"Master, who is she?"
"She is the sister I found for you."
He grabbed the lamplighter who was trying to escape and pushed her in front of Anma.
"Come and say hello?"
It was clearly addressed to two people, but no one spoke first.
Anma looked at the newcomer, assessing her threat level to herself.
The lantern operator's gaze shifted back and forth between Chen Xi and An Ma's faces, and he soon imagined a taboo drama in which a young girl was coerced and brainwashed into calling him master!
And in his heart, he has equated Chen Xi with scum and devil.
Looking at the lantern attendant's eyes, Chen Xi knew that she must have misunderstood something. Without making any excuses, he directly greeted the girl in front of him.
"Anma!"
"Yes, Master!"
With a turn of her body, the girl who was a cute loli in the last second gradually turned into a scabbard and fell into Chen Xi's hands.
From a distance, he called out again: "Dao Wu!"
Another dagger, dragging a long golden trail, flew into Chen Xi's hands.
Putting the two together and pinning them around his waist, Chen Xi began to explain:
"Strictly speaking, they are both my creations, my weapons, and my staffs (although I rarely use them when performing mystical magic)."
"That's why Anma calls me Master. Do you understand? You little brat who loves to daydream."
Smiling, he knocked the lantern attendant on the head with a scabbard dagger, and Chen Xi let go, allowing the two little guys to transform into human form again.
The lantern attendant looked at the scene in front of him in surprise, which suddenly changed from objects to loli and shota, and opened his mouth to squeeze out a few syllables.
But he didn't give the lantern attendant any chance to speak. Knowing that Chen Xi would definitely summon his sword dance after he came back, he hid himself early and the moment he turned into a human form, he kicked Chen Xi in the knee.
"Ah! Daowu, what are you doing!?"
Chen Xi screamed in pain, holding his knee and looking at Dao Wu, but he just turned and left without any explanation.
Rubbing his slightly swollen knee, Chen Xi used mysterious magic to reduce the swelling.
Dao Wu's kick, both in terms of location and force, was beyond the realm of joke. However, with outsiders present, Chen Xi couldn't get angry right away and could only treat it as a joke.
"Master, are you okay?"
Dao Wu's sudden kick caught Anma off guard. The long time they had spent together allowed her to see that this was no joke.
But why?
"I am fine."
"It's just a minor injury, it will heal quickly."
Chen Xi pointed at the bewildered lamplighter behind him and said:
"This is a new friend, here to visit. Please show him around."
"Ah good."
Anma leaned forward from in front of Chenxi, looked at the lantern keeper who was holding the staff in both hands and looked timid, and then looked at her master.
"There should be another child who came here before us, right?"
"Yes, Sister Hilma has taken her to the Wasteland Ancient Hall to play."
"Really? Then you should take Miss Lantern Operator there too. She's a good friend of Miss Paper Letter Circle who just came. Take them on a tour. Maybe they'll become our friends in the future."
As she introduced her friends, the unpleasantness just now seemed to be swept away, and Anma's eyes became brighter and brighter.
Although there was Lead Glass and Lovell in the Wasteland, she still wanted more friends most of the time.
Before Chen Xi could say anything else, Anma trotted over and took the lantern bearer's hand.
"Nice to meet you, Miss Lantern! I'm Anma, the Master's weapon!"
"I...I'm glad to meet you too, Miss Anma."
I originally thought that my situation and the situation at Cross Street were quite special.
But when the lantern keeper really came here, he found that there was a place even stranger than where he lived.
Hexagonal plots of land with different landscapes and weather, a mystic who can change his appearance at will, and... Chen Xi who is becoming more and more of a mystery.
Holding the lantern bearer's hand, Anma was about to leave, but was stopped by Chen Xi.
"Um, where's your sister Anya?"
"Hmm... Ever since the master left, she seems to have locked herself in the master's room and hasn't come out since."
This sentence made Chen Xi feel cold all over. He cried out inwardly that it was not good. Chen Xi was already thinking about where he would be buried after his death. However, at this moment, Anma added another sentence:
"With Sister Nana."
It was like being struck by lightning, and Chen Xi was completely defeated.
His last bit of stubbornness was only enough to last until Anma and the lantern operator turned around, then he spat out a mouthful of blood and knelt on the ground.
Lying on the ground with a sense of despair, feeling the breeze caressing his cheeks, Chen Xi suddenly had the urge to feel so happy that he could die.
The wind continued to deliver its gentleness, but it was soon blocked by something, causing the last bit of gentleness that Chen Xi could feel to disappear completely.
"How long are you going to lie on the ground?"
The familiar arrogant and impatient voice belonged to Dao Wu.
When someone came, Chen Xi stopped playing tricks. He sat up from the ground, patted the grass in front of him, and motioned Dao Wu to sit down.
"Who...who wants to sit there?"
Dao Wu's face suddenly turned red as she angrily tried to sit down next to Chen Xi. However, the moment she bent down, her wrist was suddenly grabbed and she was pulled into Chen Xi's arms, holding him tightly.
"Hey!"
"do not move."
He gave a soft command, and Dao Wu, who was about to struggle, was held tightly by Chen Xi. As he sat firmly, Chen Xi's head rested on his shoulder.
The distance is so close that the heat from your breath can even hit the sensitive hairs on the auricle.
Dao Wu's body suddenly softened, and he half-reluctantly found a comfortable position in Chen Xi's arms and lay down obediently.
"Can you tell me what happened?"
Chen Xi's words were still so gentle, and he was not angry at all about Dao Wu's previous behavior.
He could clearly feel the body in his arms trembling slightly. He didn't know the reason, nor did he know how to comfort it. So all he could do now was to do his best to hold him tightly and give the child enough sense of security.
After a long while, he felt a few drops of moisture and began to speak tremblingly with fear:
"Why don't you tell us the truth?"
He felt as if all the blood in his body froze for a moment, and the missed heartbeat brought back memories that Chen Xi had suppressed with great difficulty.
The panic of being discovered, the anxiety of being afraid of other people's reactions, and the regret for the mistakes they have made.
The string of reason became thinner and thinner under the influence of chaos, which was reflected in Chen Xi's increasingly tighter grip on Dao Wu, forcing him to be almost speechless.
But he did not remind Chen Xi. Instead, he used all his strength, took a deep breath and shouted loudly:
"After all, it was me who killed you!"
With just one sentence, Chen Xi was pulled out of his demonic obstruction. When he regained consciousness, his hands were separated, and he and Dao Wu were breathing heavily.
"Sword Dance!"
Chen Xi realized that he almost made another big mistake and quickly checked on Dao Wu's condition.
Fortunately, he was just a little uncomfortable from being strangled, and was not seriously injured.
"Dao Wu...Dao Wu, are you okay?"
"Ahem, it's okay."
Dao Wu coughed to relieve the discomfort and let his body fall into Chen Xi's arms.
The sudden arrival of Tietie easily penetrated the defenses of Chen Xi, who was extremely nervous after making a mistake, causing his cheeks to turn red visibly.
"Ahem, what's wrong? You can have feelings for a little boy like me? Chen Xi is really a pervert."
It was rare to hear such provocative words from Dao Wu. As it turned out, Chen Xi really enjoyed it.
"Are you...are you kidding me! I almost got possessed again, and now it's like I just woke up! This is a normal biological reaction!"
He loudly refuted Dao Wu's words, but Xiao Chenxi became more energetic because of his excitement. This made Dao Wu blush again.
"Chen... Chenxi, let's calm down first. Calm down. Right now... I don't feel well."
Realizing the meaning of Dao Wu's words and knowing his current state, even though no one would see, Chen Xi still turned his head to the side with a flushed face, slowly waiting for Xiao Chen Xi to calm down.
Dao Wu also tried his best to keep his body still and not stimulate Xiao Chenxi, who was a little sensitive at the moment.
In the gradually heating up atmosphere, the two of them slowly waited for the uncomfortable feeling in their waists and backs to disappear.
Not until everything became completely back to normal did Dao Wu fall directly into Chen Xi's arms without hesitation again.
"Dao Wu, what did you mean by that just now?"
"I was the one who killed you. My knife once pierced your heart..."
The two of them tacitly agreed not to mention what had just happened, but the atmosphere of the conversation had unconsciously become colder.
Since the day the sword dance was born as a weapon, it has never cut the flesh of anyone other than its own master.
He had never even cut other people's skin.
As a weapon, in the end, the only one it hurts is its own owner.
This feeling of guilt reached its peak when he personally ended his master's life for the last time, and it was also the reason for his strange behavior today.
But these are not the most important factors.
He saw Chen Xi's memories, those painful, unbearable, turbulent memories filled with blood and violence.
"I saw it, though only a little."
"Your memory..."
As he said this, Dao Wu involuntarily snuggled into Chen Xi's arms again, trembling slightly like a frightened white rabbit.
"During the time you were gone, I have been digesting the emotions in your memory."
"For the first few hours, I threw up almost everything I ate. The sheets were practically covered in my vomit."
"When the nausea faded, I felt chaos. I lost myself in space and time, became violent and mad, and nearly smashed everything in my room."
"It wasn't until a few minutes before you came back that I gradually recovered from that emotion. And then... I was summoned by you and kicked by you..."
"I'm very sorry."
Dao Wu was almost touching Chen Xi's body as she hugged him sideways, unwilling to separate even a little.
It cannot be seen in human form, but in fact, in the dagger state, Dao Wu's body is covered with scratches and chipped edges.
"I'm the one who should be sorry for putting you through such a painful experience."
Responding, filling the void in Dao Wu's heart and soothing the fear in his heart.
Those memories not only bring pain, but also corrode the soul.
Chen Xi quietly cut his finger and while hugging Dao Wu tightly, slowly replenished his body with blood.
A warm current continuously emanated from Chen Xi's body, gradually melting the body that had wrapped his heart in layers of ice, and soothing the tired nerves that had been tense for several days.
In Chen Xi's arms, Dao Wu gradually fell asleep. It was the first good sleep he had had in the past few days.
