The puppets' stage play

Chapter 421 Like a Child 1

"Did you pass the previous level?"

Qi Xiu whispered, raising his eyes to look below him, where the pure white 'Wang Liu' reflected the golden brilliance.

Ripples spread out in all directions, like boiling water, and the light white mist became thicker and thicker.

He turned his head and looked to one side. The green scales in a line on his right arm disappeared one after another, and the fair and smooth skin was revealed, with a faint sheen of pearls and gems.

"Sacrifice the water of the sea." He whispered.

Turning his eyes, a water mirror appeared in front of him.

A figure suddenly appeared in front of him. His lower body was wrapped in green energy, his upper body was wrapped in red armor, and his head was surrounded by a blue ethereal energy.

He shook his head in his heart, at least he was stronger than at the beginning. At the beginning, the green aura had almost condensed into chains, and the red armor was tightly bound so that he could not move. At the same time, his will continued to sink, as if he was in the void.

Now, he finally has some spare time.

He could feel his thoughts becoming more and more agile, like a lively swimming fish, as if he was about to put on wings and fly away in the next moment.

The power that originally locked one's own mind competed with the physical power that penetrated inward, forming a faint balance.

"...It's not enough." He felt for a moment and then shook his head.

He can roughly grasp the state he is in now. If placed in the outside world, he should be able to soak two-thirds of the ink puppet, but then just like before, he can no longer enter it.

At the same time, he also understood that this level had reached his limit. If he continued, no matter which force it was, he would rise up to resist and trigger his own decline.

So, in reality, he only had one choice.

He raised his face and stared at the dead sky with almost nothingness.

Pieces of ink-colored clouds gathered together, a dark color that could cover everything. At this moment, the bright light that tore through the sky flashed past, leaving a bright trace in the pair of eyes below.

But only for a moment, he was once again deeply surrounded by ink clouds and disappeared from sight.

As a result, the pair of eyes turned completely black.

It closed its eyes, and the expression on its face gradually became distorted, like a face that was constantly trembling, with... nothing underneath.

Boom! ! !

Anri looked gloomy and lowered his clenched fist.

He once again took a deep look at the 'Land of Nothingness' in front of him. He looked at the figure on the inside who was wearing a gray coat and had blue eyes. He tiptoed and the figure disappeared instantly.

Swish.

Anga raised his head, and in front of him was Anli, who slowly appeared with a pale complexion.

"Tell me, what are you thinking? This kind of 'forced' behavior shouldn't be your principle. It's obvious that the child has been persuaded by me, why do you have to stop me forcibly."

Anli's eyes were cold, and there was a chill in his body.

Anga put down the document in his hand, but did not answer the other party's question immediately.

He frowned, a thoughtful look on his face.

"Stop pretending to me. Who doesn't know that among all the clones, you are the one who thinks closest to 'it'? Otherwise, you wouldn't have this name. Tell me, what does it think?!"

"It actually openly arranged for the 'Professor' to take action. It really has a face."

Anli looked impatient, and the coldness in his eyes became more intense.

An Jia shook his head, and the thoughts in his eyes faded away. He raised his eyes and looked at the other party with a very calm expression.

"First, let me explain its behavior."

"You don't have to worry. If you really want to stop it, then according to its 'rules', you can definitely stop it, provided you really want to do that."

"What do you mean?" Anri frowned.

"At first, it was because of the sudden appearance of the spell. You must have noticed the abnormality at the beginning." An Jia said with an indifferent expression, talking about something.

Anri's expression changed slightly, and he also remembered that scene. Originally, he wanted to rely on some methods in the current heterogeneous profession to eliminate the disaster for the other party, but in the end... the other party solved it himself. .

At that moment, he was actually a little uneasy and terrified.

Reminiscent of the fact that the other person's aura suddenly disappeared and then reappeared again, he was carrying that strange aura, and it also 'eliminated' the symptoms that he also found troublesome.

No, from Andri's perspective, that method is actually a fallacy that is made up of outrageous and weird methods.

It was a method that would never be effective according to common sense. However, it really suppressed the extremely high nature of pollution.

"...What on earth is that?" Anri took a deep breath and asked seriously.

"I don't know." Anga said calmly, "But that doesn't actually matter. We just need to continue at our pace."

"Not even 'Andry' cared, let alone you and me, and actually, from that day on, that guy became a real problem."

An Jia shook his head slightly, and a strange color suddenly appeared on Gu Jing Wubo's face.

"Just like Xi Muran, at that moment, his future is no longer stable, and he can no longer be constrained by us to move towards the most correct path."

"At this point, no matter which path he wants to take, our intervention is no longer effective, but it depends only on him."

An Jia's eyes narrowed slightly and his tone became solemn.

"That was a waste. Some clones pointed it out and believed that 'Qi Xiu' did not choose the correct ability, but only had some deviations. Therefore, they tried to reset it back to its original position."

"... Are they those alien professions now?" Anli was silent for a moment and suddenly asked.

"In my opinion, that technique has three disadvantages." Anga did not answer the question, but turned to another topic.

"One, luck will be significantly worse."

"Normally speaking, do you think people with that kind of keen mind will get lost? Obviously, in our understanding, they won't. Even if it is a displacement method, it should not affect 'people' It takes effect on its own.”

"Because those are some of the lowest-level logic. Without those, people are not enough to be called human beings. But you see, Qi Xiu obviously still has human emotions, which is doubtful."

Anri closed her mouth tightly, her expression very serious.

"Second, it weakens the self." Anga glanced at the other party, with an inexplicable meaning in his eyes.

"Perhaps you haven't noticed, or you have deliberately ignored it. In fact, after possessing that technique, Qi Xiu never had a 'normal' rest. Every time I observe, he is working hard."

"But it doesn't look like he's pursuing anything, he's just 'working hard', or he's covering himself up with that kind of behavior..."

Anli's expression became more and more gloomy, while Anjia rationally kept silent. In fact, it was because of his weakening self that Qi Xiu's mind would be interfered with by the demon, and then transform into a demon soul.

"The third and most important point." An Jia shook his head again, a look of solemnity flashed in his eyes, "That thing is at odds with our system, and may even conflict with our cultivation method. This is also the reason why others have made up their minds. .”

"Do you understand, if Tichold continues along that method, and at the same time, if we cannot interfere with his path forward, what will happen to him?"

Anga stared into the other person's eyes, while Anri gritted his teeth and swallowed the curse words he was about to spit out.

He understood that in that situation, Qi Xiu could only fumble forward step by step, and they couldn't provide much help. After all, they couldn't even understand the composition of that technique. There will be a consequence.

"As you know, there will never be new people related to the three supreme demon gods unless the previous one dies. So, what will the temple do when Qi Xiu is unable to make progress? ?”

With a slightly warning tone, Anga said coldly.

Anli's eyes were dark. He understood that Andri would not conflict with those guys in the short term, so if something like that happened, Qi Xiu would only be killed, and no one would care about it in the future.

"Therefore, we can only use the 'alien path' to incorporate him into our system again, and smelt all his powers, whether they come from the puppet side, the devil side, or the unknown side, into one, and only use our system as the core.”

"That way, 'Andre' will have a reason to continue to protect him. In this way, you understand why I didn't inform you."

An Jia sighed softly and looked at this side calmly.

"Although we are both clones, your emotional fluctuations are the strongest. 'I' have also experienced your mood during that period, so I can understand you. But other clones are different. They have long been related to 'Ang'a. 'There is a gap."

"They only belong to 'Andri', so I don't care where they go. Understand, Anri, I am not your enemy."

"...Is there no other way?" Anli's voice was dry and there was bitterness on his face.

"That's the only way. At least the 'person' is still alive. As for the self, it will return again after it is completed. You don't have to worry too much." Anga's tone was indifferent, but there was a hint of comfort in his words. meaning.

Anli was silent, his eyes couldn't help but be blank, and then he gritted his teeth.

"Andre is a fucking beast!"

"Yes." Anga nodded.

"An Yi is also a beast!"

"Yes."

Anri's eyes widened and his anger rose.

"You are a beast too!"

Anga raised an eyebrow, then nodded.

"can."

Then, Anri pointed at himself, showing an expression that seemed to be crying or smiling. He grinned and his lips trembled slightly.

"I'm a fucking beast too."

He laughed miserably, covering half of his hands in front of his face while his body trembled.

An Jia looked at the other party steadily, and then said softly: "Yes."

"It is precisely because we are ruthless and hard-hearted that we can commit such evil deeds. I think sooner or later, the belated retribution will come one by one."

Anga turned his head and looked out the window at the still blue sky.

"Yes, one day."

He turned his eyes back and ignored the two guys scolding him. At the same time, the blue in his eyes faded and cyan reappeared.

'It should be soon. '

He looked at the black light group that shrank and expanded in the void, and a bright light flashed in his eyes.

And in the center of the black light group, Qi Xiu was standing quietly.

The white river under him has almost dried up. At the same time, his body has become pure and flawless, and all the previous colors have disappeared.

Click.

He lightly clenched his fists, feeling a sense of relaxation coming from deep within his body. It was an unprecedented sense of relaxation, but his face was still cold, as if he was looking at someone else's body.

The five fingers spread out and then closed.

Step forward with one leg, then step back.

The corners of his mouth curled up, then recovered immediately.

Only a pair of dark eyes quietly looked at this invisible resistance, and understood what he should do next.

The body is waiting.

The soul is thirsty.

The will is trembling.

But no matter what, it has nothing to do with 'him', everything belongs to 'Qi Xiu', even though it was also called Qi Xiu.

pat.

There was the sound of footsteps in the distance.

pat.

There is the sound of feet and palms in my heart.

Snap - snap.

There's a footnote swing, here.

Raise your arms into an embrace.

The legs are spread wide, in a standing position.

The smile is wide and cheerful.

'I'm coming', a cold, almost ice-like voice sounded in his heart, and he instantly understood that it was him, but not him.

That is a person who is stronger than oneself, who will not be sad, will not be afraid, will not stop because of others, and will not remember the traces of the past. As long as he is 'self', he will not be defeated.

He is a new alien, the purest professional who will not be bound by human feelings and will only act for his own interests. It can be said that he is a complete ruthless person.

But.........it twitched the corners of its mouth, shook its arms, and swayed its legs.

He used his last strength to let his teeth collide with each other, and finally spoke the last words in a dry and hoarse voice.

"..... Come on... Qi Xiu... Hand in——"

The voice cut off instantly, as if with a cold face, 'Qi Xiu' looked around with no emotion in his eyes.

"It's so noisy, you loser."

He said calmly.

The scene in front of him surged up like mist, then faded away. In front of him was a figure watching silently.

Qi Xiu walked slowly in front of the other party and looked at him expressionlessly.

"So, who are you?"

The professor's eyes were dark, he smiled, and asked in a gentle tone.

"Qi Xiu." He replied, his black eyes without any trace of color, "There is only this answer, and this is the answer you are looking forward to."

"The transformation was successful. I successfully accommodated the foreign object and eliminated the excess objects. Overall, the experiment was successful."

The professor raised his eyebrows.

"Are you doing a lab report?"

"No, I just want to ask one thing." Qi Xiu's expression remained unchanged, but his expression was slightly solemn.

"What should 'Qi Xiu' do?"

"I don't know about this. I hope you can tell me so that I can 'work' towards that aspect. Speaking of which, this is the only valuable ability I absorbed from my predecessor."

The professor suddenly looked at the other party, his eyes becoming solemn.

That interference still exists!

Qi Xiu's expression remained the same, but if you look carefully, you can see that there is nothing in his eyes, like a child who has just been born but still has a certain way of thinking.

At this moment, he was looking at the world quietly and had no interest in it.

Life is boring, so why fear death?

Qi Xiu thought to himself.
