The puppets' stage play

Chapter 305 No or no

"As we know, 'time' itself is a myth."

Wearing a navy blue soft top and slightly loose wide-leg pants, Teacher Xu, who was full of energy, was pacing above, like a scholar who was thinking, and mellow voices came out one after another.

The students stood ready, with extremely serious expressions on their faces, staring at the figure pacing in front of them.

"In the past, our eyes saw people dying because of time, and our ears heard the crying sounds of the living. We lamented the power of time, and countless fears arose in our hearts."

"It is like a sharp knife-like threat, hanging brightly above our heads, and we also know that one day, it will fall, maybe now, maybe not long after, it will fall and pierce us all the way. The soles of the feet."

Teacher Xu paused, then faced this way, but his eyes were floating in the sky, as if looking at something in the distance.

"At this stage, time is synonymous with the ability to overturn life and death and control destiny."

"Only fear can equalize everything. Only death can equal everything."

A slightly thick voice came out of his mouth, and Teacher Xu looked at the countless young-looking students in front of him for the first time, with a warm smile on his face.

"Of course, now, since time itself is also false, the social norms established based on it will also collapse, and we can look at it with more rational thinking."

The palms circled in the air, and a little bit of clear waves spread out, reflecting several hazy realms with different tones, in which there were thousands of scenes.

The rot worms huddled in the desert, waiting for death to come. Their raised tentacles gradually turned gray and faded, and their bodies were like shells heading toward death.

Stroking the glorious scepter of the past and letting his white beard hang down, the dying old man looked calmly at what was happening in front of him, just like in the past. His nephew stepped forward with a grin and raised a long-haired man. Spiked sticks.

A shadow suddenly enveloped it, so it closed its eyes.

A series of water-colored beads gathered together, as if they were fighting with each other, suddenly breaking the quiet air along the way, and a huge shadow suddenly appeared in the deep sea below.

Like birds skimming over the water, water rippled in the air, but the water-colored dumplings were nowhere to be seen.

Galloping in the endless wilderness, playing and hunting, the terrifying beasts that captured new prey have now become their former prey. There is smoke and dust in the distance, and a dark breath rises, covering the entire sky.

"Dumb, dumb, dumb..."

It was a sharp sound like a flat throat. On the other side of the sky, there were countless arms spread out, like a distorted picture of the Netherland clan. The terrifying beasts showed hatred and fear, but the Netherland clan The domain clan still didn’t care.

Soon, the original indigenous races were swept away, and the students couldn't help but look at the hazy light group that had the most intense changes in front of them. Faintly, they could sense the resentment and hatred of those terrifying beasts.

Teacher Xu turned his wrist slightly, and the other world dimmed slightly, highlighting this world.

"There are worlds large and small in the universe, and they all have different concepts of time. Descriptors such as one breath, one thought, one revolution, etc. are essentially the same as our hours, minutes, and seconds."

"Being born in the dusk, overlooking the river and dying, macro and micro, giants and humans, the dead and the living, if you look closely, we can live in the same world, which is a great achievement that is enough to shock our hearts."

Tick-tock, the pendulum clock sways, moment by moment, like an eternal existence, just simply moving.

His arms seemed to be picking and choosing, searching for something he was interested in among the broken corpses scattered on the ground, and then he grabbed it and stretched it into the extremely dark hole.

"It's so salty..." A slightly frustrated voice sounded in the hollow. Qi Xiu's eyes moved slightly. The other students' expressions also changed, and a certain guess suddenly emerged in their hearts.

"If a person knows insects, he is also an insect, and if he becomes an insect, he will die. That is the celestial bridge that spans among many living beings." Teacher Xu smiled and waved his hand, and the originally diffused smoke dissipated, revealing the real scene.

A boy was poking at the food on the plate with a cutlery with a bored look on his face. Even though the food was smashed into pieces by it, he still didn't care and just lamented the taste of the food.

The mother on the side scolded a few words, and then the boy reluctantly ate the food.

The middle-aged man who was reading the newspaper raised his head, saw the scene in front of him, showed a warm smile, raised his hand to pick up the fragrant white liquid on the side, and swallowed it in a few mouthfuls.

There is no doubt that this is an ordinary day for an extremely ordinary family. In the past, they would not have cared about it.

The students stared blankly at the scene, and in their eyes, a subtle yet cruel picture emerged.

The food scraps are the terrifying beast of death. To them, the wide open mouth is the netherworld.

The water-colored beads collided to form the white liquid, which was swallowed by the 'huge' figure.

Their eyes turned, and in the corner of the table, there was the low sound of rotten insects. Looking carefully, they could vaguely see a figure standing on an old body and laughing, and the blood formed a mountain spring.

"Aww." The boy swallowed it in one gulp, his expression brightened, and he looked at the dessert with interest.

The scene in front of him faded instantly, and Teacher Xu's slightly serious face was pointed at the students below.

"There is no distinction between high and low in life. At best, there is only a difference in each other's 'visions'. 'Time' is used as a tool to differentiate each other and fix the respective 'visions' of living beings."

"Then the world in your eyes will be formed." Teacher Xu said solemnly, while the students below were thinking, feeling the touch of breaking the rules, and a slight sense of heaviness.

"Time is fake, but at the same time, when we regard it as real, it has infinite power."

It was as if she was pouring out secret words, and her heart trembled at them. Belusa's head was slightly raised, her expression became solemn, and suddenly, there was some kind of dull aura coming, it was roaring, and it was about to wrap around Teacher Xu.

["I can go back thousands of times, add or delete the future, make children's hair instantly white, and revive the dying. Even if they are thousands of miles away, I can strike across time and space. If you say I am false, then let me ask you, I who is it?"】

It was an overlapping sound that was both hoarse and light, both clear and muddy. The voice roared and pointed directly at Teacher Xu in front of him.

The faces of the students present suddenly changed. Why would such a dangerous guy suddenly appear? In their hearts, they were stunned. They couldn't help but look forward, and the tips of their ears stood up, waiting for the other party's answer.

"In fact, there is a defensive belt outside the federal land, which is used to sort out the flow of time inside and outside. In the federal mainland, we often see reports about external wars that say there will be no winner or loser for hundreds of years."

"But the amazing thing is that when those soldiers who have been fighting for hundreds of years come back, people find that they are not much different from before they left. The age they were before is the age they are now. They will not change just because they go out. He’s older than his father.”

Teacher Xu smiled. At that time, some people even suspected that the person who posted the battle report had written a few more numbers. In fact, it only took a few days to report it. Those who reported it were too arrogant and openly dared to deceive them.

Even if you want to be biased, you still have to write decently!

"At that time, it aroused public opinion. People believed that the Federation was fighting a fake war. In fact, the war had ended long ago, but the soldiers said the same thing. They all said that the war was still going on and that it would not end in a short time."

Faced with the threat that was so close at hand, Teacher Xu did not change his expression and continued to explain calmly, without taking the other party's questions to heart at all.

"——————————" The dull atmosphere gradually spread, and some of the students were already having difficulty breathing and their faces were ashen. They looked at Teacher Xu eagerly, with a look of pleading in their eyes.

["It's useless, he can't save you. If you want to live, just kneel down to me!"]

"Actually, both parties are right, because they are in different 'fields of vision'. There is a natural gap between a race that takes hundreds of years as a scale and a race that takes a day as a limit, whether it is opinions or opinions. They are all very different.”

Teacher Xu's eyes were calm and he did not look at the students who had difficulty breathing. Instead, he continued to explain in a calm tone.

Belusa stared at the students with painful expressions on their faces, and a hint of thinking suddenly appeared in her eyes. Beside her, whether it was Qi Xiu, Feit, or others, they were all breathing normally, without any abnormality at all.

The two parties looked at each other as if they were completely different beings. They looked the same but were treated completely differently.

Why? One student raised his head, his blood-red eyes looking this way, staring at Belusa, as if searching for the answer.

Belusa's eyes moved slightly and glanced at the calm teacher Xu's face. As far as she knew, the other person had always been kind and not the kind of person who would harm students. So, what was the problem?

..... No, she raised her head and looked at those shaky figures. Instead, she wanted to ask, what on earth were they thinking?

"If a person knows about insects, he is also an insect, and if he becomes an insect, he will die. That heaven is not only the rope that binds us, but also the guard that protects our safety." Belusa looked at the figure with a stiff expression with cold eyes, and spoke in a very serious tone. Ice cold.

"I gave up my position as a human being and pursued strength blindly. Even though there were huge gains in the short term, at the same time, you no longer have the treatment of humans."

"Is that right, Teacher Xu?" She turned her eyes and looked at the smiling Teacher Xu and asked. The latter smiled noncommittally and said nothing more.

The man with blood-red eyes stayed where he was. He took a deep breath with determination in his eyes. Then, his breathing gradually stabilized, and the others returned to their original state after being awakened.

Qi Xiu lowered his eyes slightly and glanced at the place where the thing used to be. Now there was nothing there, and it even seemed a bit empty.

Everything before seemed like an illusion.

"It's true that I can't save you, but that's not because of my strength, but because it's your own factors. No matter what others say, it can't compare to your personal experience."

Teacher Xu had a solemn expression on his face. He looked at the crowd and spoke sincerely.

"What you are going to take is a path called 'alien'. As you can tell from the name, it is a path different from 'humanity' itself. Difficulties and dangers will inevitably accompany you."

"Gradually, you will lose interest in others and only care about your own strength. You will not hesitate to hurt others for the sake of the possibility of becoming stronger. Even if you are spurned by your original relatives and friends, you will probably not be able to do so at that time. How much do you care?"

"But!" His voice suddenly rose, and his expression became extremely serious.

"The more this happens, the more I insist on my pride as a 'human being'. Even if my soul is alienated and my appearance deteriorates, I must continue to follow my original goal unswervingly."

"It is very simple to give up your sense of identity as a 'human being', but at that moment, you also abandon your past self and become a strange existence that is completely different from your past self."

The students listened silently. Originally they thought they knew the cost of doing so, but it seemed that their opinions were too shallow.

"...That's it for now. After all, what I'm talking about is the 'Civilization Guide', not psychological counseling. Let's leave this aspect to the professionals."

Looking at the increasingly heavy atmosphere below, Teacher Xu shook his head with a smile and stopped the topic. He just felt that the opportunity was just right, so he gave a brief warning. Originally, he did not want to mention this.

"Uh, did you say that before, Teacher Anli?" Yang Zizai tilted his head, covered his mouth with his hand, and whispered to Qi Xiu.

Previously, Anri, who was originally responsible for psychological counseling, became interested and began to tell stories from the past, and that was originally the content of the "Civilization Brief", in other words, it was the content of this class.

Qi Xiu glanced at the other party, and then looked forward again. As expected, Teacher Xu with a smile was looking over here.

"Don't be so quiet. If you have any questions, you can ask them and the teacher will help you solve them."

Yang Zizai looked at Qi Xiu with a stiff expression, then stood up with a determined expression on his face.

"Everything is my fault, teacher, I was wrong!" He lowered his head deeply and apologized very sincerely.

Teacher Xu suddenly laughed out loud, looking at Yang Zizai who lowered his head and confessed with a funny look.

"You bastard, you admit your mistakes quickly. Just make sure you make the same mistake next time, right?" Although he seemed to be asking a question, everyone knew that it was the other party's ridicule. Then, Teacher Xu stopped smiling and looked at This way.

"So, what did he say?" he asked with interest, but his eyes were directed at the cold-looking girl, who lowered her eyes slightly but showed no sign of getting up.

"It's a phenomenon of collective mental deterioration, Teacher Xu." Fait stood up and answered calmly.

"No, it's the group that is evil!" Yang Zizai suddenly became interested and shouted loudly. Fait's eyes turned cold and he looked at him with some disgust.

"The official and orthodox name should be used here, don't talk nonsense!" He retorted extremely calmly.

"You idiot... I think the latter is easier to remember, and Teacher Anli said it himself!" Yang Zizai wanted to ridicule him, but when he suddenly saw the people around him, he immediately changed the topic. Not really stupid.

"Haha, that's quite appropriate. He used rhetoric well." Teacher Xu clapped his hands with a gentle look on his face, stopping the argument between the two.

"...Teacher, is it really okay for you to say bad things about other teachers?" Yang Zizai looked surprised. He turned his head and looked at Teacher Xu, his eyes full of confusion.

Among the many teachers who taught, did Teacher Xu, who was at the bottom in cultivation, really have the right to speak? He couldn't help but worry.

After all, in the United First Academy, most of the teachers are commanders who have temporarily left the front line, or are scholars who specialize in a certain technology. The lowest level of cultivation is fifth level, with the exception of Teacher Xu in front of me.

He himself only has the third level of strength. It can be said that if he is a strong graduate, he will be able to compete with him for a while, so it is no wonder that some students do not come to his class.

"That's not the case. The Federation values ​​order. No matter what, I won't let others bully me for no reason. Besides, I used to be strong, but I can't do it now. You kid may not be able to do that. I live a long life."

Teacher Xu shook his head and immediately answered Yang Zizai's question. Then, he looked at the other party with a smile, his eyes full of narrow-mindedness, but his words were also encouraging.

"Like the witch, the devil, and the dark lord?" Belusa suddenly spoke, looking at the other party with her clear eyes, Teacher Xu looked leisurely and smiled calmly.

"That's right." He said softly.

"Uh, witch... I remember that there was indeed a guy with this title in the history of the Federation." Yang Zizi glanced at Belusa, and then he turned his head, and a certain scene that impressed him suddenly disappeared from the depths of his memory. Emerge everywhere.

It was a scene of a man sitting alone by a stream with a white bird beside him.

"Is there another white dove?" He half-murmured and asked, while Qi Xiu began to think. He had also seen that portrait. Not long ago, several of them visited Belusa's house. A painting hanging on a wall somewhere.

"Maybe--"

"That's a myth. There has never been a white dove." An unusually cold and solemn voice sounded. Qi Xiu's eyes were startled and he looked towards the place where the voice came from.

Teacher Xu looked here indifferently, with an extremely cold expression on his face.

"I'll say it again, there has never been a white dove by the witch's side, at least, that's the way I remember it."
