The puppets' stage play

Chapter 291 Embroidered Ladder

A red ball of flame flashed across his eyes. The woman in front of him smiled and waved, and a wisp of flame dissipated from her fingertips.

"That's the next thing. Let's talk about other topics first."

Shirley took a step back silently and squinted at the person in front of her. The records clearly stated that this person was noble and noble... Is it really just a glorification by future generations?

"Uh-huh." She grabbed her chin with her fingers, and her face wrinkled up. The girl looked at this side and nodded, then shook her head. Her face suddenly relaxed, and she put her hands on her hips, showing an air of dignity.

"No, I should be the sister." She said proudly, and couldn't help laughing again.

"..." Shirley looked at her coldly, paying no attention to her thoughts.

"It's so boring~" The tone at the end was drawn out, and the girl pressed her face with one hand and sighed helplessly, as if she were watching a parent with a child's headache.

Somehow, Shirley suddenly felt angry in her heart.

"Then tell me, what is that?!" She suppressed her annoyance and looked at the crystal ice crystal floating in the air. It was a round orb that resembled an eyeball. Just looking at that made her feel extremely sour.

"Huh, don't you know." The girl yawned, "Here, the first impression of what you see is its own essence, just like me, I also have this eyeball."

Shirley's body trembled slightly, but she didn't feel any sudden awakening in her heart. She just felt that this was indeed the case.

"Edia, are you really dead?" She forced herself to calm down and looked at the girl who was gradually becoming clearer. She had frosty long hair that was exactly the same as hers, and eyes that seemed to be frozen by ice and snow.

It's like... She turned her head slightly and looked at the 'eyeball' with complicated eyes.

"Dead, dead, completely dead. After all, I am just an 'emergency measure'." Idia told the real reason with a calm face, but there was not much sadness on his face.

Shirley stared at the man, but couldn't help but feel a touch of sadness in her heart.

"Unlike you, eldest sister, you are a recognized inheritor, but the other guy and I are different. The two of us just created a 'false' image to smooth over the impact of 'mother' disappearing. "

"Originally, 'Mom' would also have played an important role in that era. However, after her 'closure', no one could inherit this responsibility, and the eldest sister was still sleeping beautifully at that time."

"Under the influence of certain general trends, this responsibility fell on me."

"Or..." Idia turned around, a cold smile appeared on his face, "From the remains of the body that was deliberately left behind, the 'Protagonist of Destiny' emerged."

"'My' duty on the stage is to guide the people of the Federation during that period, so that they can briefly feel the so-called 'light', and then die. After all, as an 'emergency measure', wanting to be happy is simply impossible. It’s just a joke.”

Idia smiled and waved his hands, with a very calm expression on his face.

"..." Shirley just looked at her, but couldn't say anything unnecessary. Even if she wanted to say something, it would probably seem like a mockery to the other party.

"Then, from the ashes of 'me', another guy spawned, and that guy was even more miserable. He could only wander around in the chain composed of blood all day long, just like the flying bird."

"I can neither perceive reality nor communicate with others. I just waste my years with nothing in a cage-like 'world'. If I want to maintain myself, I can only rely on the emotion of hatred."

"So after she was born, even if she wanted to destroy everything, I wouldn't be surprised."

"So..." Idia looked at Shirley, but the smile on her face gradually faded, and her expression became cold, "Even if we call you eldest sister, in the final analysis, it's just us being sentimental."

"You are loved and wrapped in happiness. No one will let you get hurt. They will only protect you silently in places you don't know."

"Just like now, I came to you based on the desire to protect you, 'eldest sister.'" Idia whispered sarcastically.

"..." Shirley pursed her lips, feeling a sense of powerlessness in her heart, just like what she had felt since she was a child. Although no one was taking care of her on the surface, she Not a fool either.

She could still vaguely feel that kind of invisible care.

In this regard, she couldn't even believe the puppet she had activated with her own hands. There was always a sense of fear in her heart, fearing that the other party was also a 'guardian' who came out of someone's will.

Her eyes couldn't help but leave the 'eyeball', and her head hung deeply. The originally bright eyes were already shrouded in darkness. If possible, she wanted to live according to her own wishes.

Idia, who was still in her teenage years, stared at the lonely woman in front of her and sighed imperceptibly. Her originally cold face softened slightly, the corners of her eyes suddenly raised, she pulled her cheeks with both hands and made a face.

"You really trust others easily. Come on, come on, raise your head and look this way~"

"I really... pfft."

When Idia's cheerful voice sounded in her ears, Shirley raised her face in a daze, and then she saw an extremely exaggerated strange face. She was immediately amused and couldn't help but cover her mouth.

popping.

When Idia saw Shirley smiling, she patted her cheek twice and returned to her normal expression, and then she said seriously.

"You don't have to care so much. I just said it was serious before. In fact, the reality is not that bad, and I don't hate you that much. Otherwise, no matter what others say, I will definitely not do it!"

Idia said aggressively, with an extremely tough expression on his face.

"Well, how should I put it? The original setting was indeed like that. It can be said to be the script of fate." Idia tilted her head slightly, with a look of contemplation on her face, "However, unfortunately, uncle does not agree with that. Although I think it’s Aiwujiwula.”

Idia shook her head in distress, but there was some joy in her eyes.

"I realized myself clearly in that constant cycle, which I called 'truth'. At that moment, I understood..." A complex, inexplicable, and deeply moved expression suddenly appeared on Idia's face.

"It turns out that I have not been abandoned." She said these words solemnly.

"'Mom' once said that names and tools cannot be used by others. To her, that is the most precious thing to her. Well, I don't know if you can compare it with it~" At the end of the sentence, Etty Yapo raised his eyebrows maliciously.

"Name and weapon..." Shirley said these two words, but felt a little confused and lost in her heart. Those were what the other party had said, but she didn't know it.

"Who is she?" she asked hesitantly.

"Sprinkle love into the past, throw hatred into the future, and the self will be in the center, cutting off all the differences with invisible laws."

Idia suddenly raised her hands and stretched them to both sides. From Shirley's perspective, it looked like a soaring white bird.

"Having a harmonious family, full of friends, and widespread reputation are all that others yearn for. They are things that belong to 'name', so they need to be given up."

"The fire in my heart is burning high, time and civilization are spreading throughout my body, and emotion and strength are coming together. That is what the 'vessel' exalts, so it needs to be given up."

There was something like iron and fire in Idia's voice, a chill that made people tremble and even freeze their souls.

"If the family is happy, it will lead to a lonely life."

"If you have countless close friends, make them all dead souls."

“If one is highly virtuous and highly respected, his reputation will remain infamy forever.”

"You can't take the usual road, you can't take the straight road. You can only walk alone in the jungle where the ground is full of mud."

"Love is false, only oneself is true, and everything will be turned into powder in the endless ice, so——"

Idia clasped her hands together, with a calm and strange smile on her face. Shirley's heart was suddenly shadowed. That expression was absolutely inhuman. It was an inhuman thing, a foreign object, and...

"A witch is an alien who abandons the past and lives only for herself. She despises love, hope, and dreams. She just lives as she pleases, a body-burning spirit that is not restrained."

"Leaping out of the remains of the old body, just like a butterfly shedding its shell, a new existence is completely different from the past."

"In other words, every witch born is burdened with innate sin. By killing her former 'self', she is cut off from the past and has no connection with the past."

"Witch of Silence, Nolen." Shirley recited the name steadily. In her memory, this was the only person who had ever been called a witch.

"No, it's Falgaros Norbekli Andric. Although you will call her Nolen now, it is also due to uncle's own will. In the past, she was called Lily, and in the future, she will be called Lily. Sapera.”

Idia wagged her finger with a serious expression on her face.

"Only in your era would you call her Nolen, so my name is, Itya Scheper. After all, you see, I am also one of her derivatives."

"Oh, by the way, just like the difference in pronunciation between Scheper and Sapela, the so-called symbol is also this kind of thing. Although it will be confused at a higher level, the difference can still be clearly seen in our eyes. of."

"I remember...she is dead." Shirley said softly. In her memory, that person had died even before she was 'born', so it was difficult for her to imagine that the other person would be connected to her. .

"Well, it depends on how you define the concept of 'death'. What is real death? For her, death is just a process. Maybe she is watching us from somewhere at this moment. "

Idia thought for a moment and said with a smile.

"But you are dead." Shirley said suddenly. She looked at the other party intently, with a look of sadness on her face. "Obviously I don't know anything, but, I -"

"I am loved." Idia looked here steadily, with an extremely calm expression and a soft smile on his face.

"My uncle was troubled by my situation and decided to give up part of himself to accompany me during that period. The same was true for my mother. I initially thought she had abandoned me, so I actually took pleasure in her failure."

"I was not sad but thought, she doesn't care about me anyway, so I don't need to care about her. Of course, I didn't know this at first. I always remember it at the moment of death. Memories of the past.”

"Then in self-pity, I lost my memory again, just like a child, and started to grow again, until the moment of death."

"But it's not like this." Idia's voice became softer and softer, and the flawless color like the sky light revived in her eyes, which was a dazzling smile like a dream.

"Memory is both a weapon and an inheritance. It is the power called Qiyi. Except for the power that I can only get by giving up something, she gave me everything else."

"As for the sister who was lost in the future, she even got her mother's 'name', which symbolizes the witch's full power before she transcends. In a sense, she is the reappearance of the concept of the 'Silence Witch'. "

Shirley stared blankly at the girl in front of her. Even though they were both women, at this moment she couldn't help but be captivated by the charm of the girl in front of her. She was the being known as the Goddess.

"The name and the weapon are the name of 'Silence Witch' and the power it represents. The weapon is all the magic and knowledge that my mother has." A playful look appeared on Idia's face, and she faced The eyelashes here blink slightly, like a butterfly flapping its wings.

"Normally, names can govern weapons, but after all, I am the first person to inherit my mother's position, so I am very senior in a symbolic sense. In the eyes of others, I am the orthodox successor of 'Nolen'."

"So, I am equivalent to having half a name. If the incomplete me competes with the half-disabled her, she will naturally be easily defeated by me. Facing me, the power brought by her own 'name' is comparable to me. Much kinder to her.”

"So you have already fought against each other?" Shirley suddenly realized that the other party was showing off.

"Although it was only once, it was still quite interesting. She was given a good beating by me. Huh, let's give her a chance to grow up." Idia said in a lively manner, and her expression suddenly became brighter. .

"What about you, are you really..." Shirley asked hesitantly again.

"Phew, I've said it before, dead, unless..." Idia sighed first, then seemed to remember something, and then she shook her head again, "No, it's impossible even if you think about it. Besides, it’s too much trouble to think about that now.”

"Okay, okay, the small talk is over. You can find the answers to your other questions yourself. I don't have that much time. At the moment, the most important question is yourself."

Idia waved her hands repeatedly to signal the end of the topic, and then she looked this way.

"Me?" Shirley pointed at herself, but felt a little confused. She didn't know anything yet...

"What do you think is the most important thing for a strong man?" Idia looked at this side and said word by word.

"...I don't know." Shirley wanted to say it was the name and device the other party mentioned before, but she thought in her mind that maybe that was not the answer the other party wanted to say, but Come to think of it, she really couldn't think of it.

The brain seemed to be blocked together, and even thinking was stagnant.

"...You really have an empty mind." Idia suddenly looked at this side with a strange expression and let out a long sigh.

"Then let me tell you what it is."

The light spread out from the eyes, and the dark blue orb exuded crystal light. It was a color like ice and snow, both cold and...warm.

Both she and Idia were suddenly enveloped in that light, and their eyes turned blue.

Itia's ethereal voice came.

"That is something called the 'Magic Eye'. Of course, it is also something left by my mother. I am responsible for delivering it to you when the time is right."

"With the inheritance of the idols, I temporarily maintained part of my consciousness, and then I waited for you, no..." Idia's voice suddenly paused, and then took on an inexplicable meaning.

Shirley tried to open her eyes wide, but still couldn't see the other party, so she could only listen silently, but a chill could not help but rise in her heart.

"That is the choice of 'destiny', and it is the inevitable choice for the 'protagonist' to hand over his responsibilities to the next generation of 'protagonist'. No matter what your choice is, this process will definitely be completed."

"I call it the 'inheritance of the mission of the era', and one day, this responsibility will also leave you and go to possess the protagonist of the next era."

"Huh, but that's none of my business." Idia's voice became soft again, and the cold and arrogant tone before seemed not to be what she said.

"Let's get back to the topic. Mom originally wanted to leave her heart to you, but that was actually quite dangerous, so she adopted the second-rate method."

"After all, in the definition of witches, at least that's what I know, the eyeball can represent the heart in a sense. Of course, it is not an actual heart. You can just treat it as a core or something like that. .”

"The principle is that the eyeball is closely related to the 'blood' and the 'body'. At the same time, it is also connected to the 'brain'. It can be said to be the same existence as a 'center'."

"In some worlds, it is also called the Ladder of Thousand Embroideries, and it is a treasure worthy of fighting each other."

"Let me make another digression. The so-called heart is essentially just some kind of condensation. It's just an illusion. Well, it's not important, it's just very troublesome."

"The eyeballs contain everything my mother had when she was a witch. From now on, it's up to you. Farewell, eldest sister."

"And..." Idia's voice became a little vague, and then she said warmly.

"You have asked me, what counts as death? I have also thought about this question. Now I feel that when no one remembers me, I will really die."

"So, thank you for remembering me. That was the mark of my survival."

"Finally, remember that I burned..."

The dazzling and intoxicating 'ocean' of light suddenly spread out, and in that silent trembling, she gradually lost consciousness.

"..." She shook her head and looked at the existence in front of her. She understood that no matter how many times she used that power, she would not be able to defeat him.

But...she raised one hand, palm facing down, fingers together, a look of determination flashed in her eyes, and she pointed her hand straight at the existence.

"Only 'I' have never died. This is a messy dance and a brilliant heart."

"Everything in the world is cold, but the soul is eternal."

"Fen Jue, solution." The palm of his hand suddenly fell, and the inherited power, the witch's heart called the 'Supreme Heart', was the power to decompose all things infinitely.

Ignore the process, ignore the antecedents, and only derive the final result. As long as it falls, it will announce the end. It is known as the "Aurora of Destruction" move.

The carapace man looked at this side with an extremely calm expression on his face. His body disintegrated in an instant, then shattered. Then, in the original space, a carapace man resurrected again.

The aura on his body is weaker than the previous one, but it is still extremely powerful, and his body is wrapped with sharp energy.

"I really can't resist this. I can even say that in the torrent, no one can stop this. With this move alone, you are enough to step onto that battlefield, but -"

Li Yi looked here calmly, as if he had seen the future scene in his eyes.

"You can't beat me."

Cold sweat remained on Shirley's forehead, but it evaporated immediately. Her palms couldn't help but tremble a little, and another crazy and violent emotion surged in her heart, which was the resistance and backlash against her use of this move.

Once she uses it too much in a short period of time, even she will probably be locked by the destruction. After all, this is a power that only a 'witch' can use.

"You're not ashamed of your words, huh, let's try again." Shirley snorted coldly, raised her palm with cold fingertips again, and then lowered it.

Under the grand invisible rules, Li Yi's body disintegrated again. This time, Shirley's eyes showed a cruel look, and her palms fell one after another. As soon as Li Yi appeared, he was immediately killed again.

Amidst the increasingly heavy breathing and the countless gaps revealed in the void, in the end, even Shirley forgot how many times she waved, and the figure of Riyi never appeared again in front of her.

"This...is...the end..." She gasped, her palms all stained black. If it happened a few more times, she would definitely be 'killed'.

"...It's a pity that I am immortal. I am very happy to meet you, the persistent young lady."

When the voice rang in her ears again, Shirley raised her head in shock, and a figure appeared in front of her eyes again. It was a man covered in black patterns and wearing simple training clothes. He clasped his hands and said hello softly.

Shirley's pupils narrowed and she looked at the other person's dark eyes. In those eyes, she once again saw the countless figures. They all clasped their hands and faced this way.

"Miss, please be polite here."

Shirley's body felt cold, and she suddenly understood what kind of existence 'Riyi' was, and why it said it was immortal.

She looked at the 'Riyi' in front of her again. From her perspective, it was clearly a sharp blade emitting cold light, and then, the sharpness was aimed at her.

"You're tired, then let's return the favor from here." Li Yi smiled, and then, the almost pale cloud-shaped sharp blade was caught in its hand.

"...Hmph, you are so lucky, kid." She turned her head and looked over there, her eyes full of resentment.

"It's the same with you, you ignored my warning, just like before."

Her body suddenly trembled, and then she turned around as carefully as possible. Far away from the venue, the man appeared in front of her.

Andre was looking here with cold eyes. Her heart suddenly trembled, and a bright smile appeared on her face. Fortunately, she was prepared for a backup plan.

"Huhu, you fell into the trap, my good uncle!"

She pointed to the sky with a proud expression, where suddenly a trace of lead melted away, the sky became dim, and a 'big mouth' appeared there.

The red tongue popped out, revealing the wriggling dark space inside.
