The puppets' stage play

Since he was a child, Qi Xiu has always felt that he was an extremely smart guy.

Whether it was with a straight face, forcing a serious expression, trying to reprimand his mother.

Still taciturn, but extremely perceptive when necessary, catching his father before he could escape.

At first, he actually didn't take it to heart, and even felt a little contemptuous in his heart.

What I did was the right thing. It's because of your shallow knowledge that you couldn't see my intentions. You had this thought in your mind, but outwardly, he stood there obediently, waiting for the 'storm' to end.

After closing the door, I heard a vague sigh.

He turned around, but he didn't care. He was a human being, not a puppet. How could he be restrained by 'mere' parents.

Looking up at the sky, looking at the sky without a trace of color, Qi Xiu couldn't help but feel a flash of disgust in his eyes.

He hates that kind of 'blank', just like himself now.

He lowered his head, thinking about the road he had seen a few days ago, and ran away quickly.

After crossing a main road and three or four small roads, he made a big circle and bowed around an ancient tree. Then he continued to move forward.

Not long after, his eyes suddenly lit up, and a dark and hidden castle suddenly stood in front of him.

There were some ever-changing patterns tattooed on the simple lead-colored door. He glanced at it and felt a little dizzy. He immediately looked away, raised his vision, and looked upward.

There was an open window three stories high. He looked there and saw a figure facing him, waving his hands with a cheerful expression.

Qi Xiu nodded and then walked over there.

As he walked, his upper body suddenly tilted backward, forming a steep angle.

From an outsider's perspective, it would be as if he stepped onto a transparent staircase out of thin air and approached the window step by step.

Qi Xiu's expression remained as usual, just as he once boasted of himself, he was actually quite courageous.

He raised his head again and looked at the figure.

Her skin is as white as pearls, and her elegant and noble temperament is beyond words.

The reddish cheeks, dark red eyes, beautiful long brown hair, and a face with a slightly exotic atmosphere, combined with the dress that seemed to be made of countless black and blue petals, highlighted the extremely beautiful image.

First of all, he wants to emphasize again that he is smart.

Secondly, it was actually the first time he 'really' saw the other person.

However, even so, he didn't care much.

He looked at the 'person' and smiled, but received the other person's increasingly eager gaze.

pat.

In front of the woman who turned slightly sideways, Qi Xiu stepped in calmly as if he were entering the door normally, not paying attention to the woman's increasingly red eyes.

"First of all, let me introduce myself. My name is Abed. What's yours?"

Qi Xiu looked around, then sat down on the round stool beside him boldly, looking at the woman opposite him at leisure.

".........it has the name 'Paqi'." Paqi's expression froze slightly, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, which was then covered by an even more brilliant red light.

She licked her lips lightly, lifted the hem of her skirt, and smiled softly. Her posture, which was supposed to be elegant, now looked a bit coquettish.

"Little guy, you didn't go outside to play, but you took the initiative to come here. Could it be that you feel empty inside? My sister can accompany you, as long as you pay a small price."

"Stop." Qi Xiu sighed, with some impatience in his eyes, "I'm not here to play. If it weren't for the distance here, I wouldn't bother to come. I've seen too many of your tricks, or... Take it."

Paqi's brows twitched, and even the smile on her face became a little stiff. She was surprised and wondered if someone was trying to 'fish' her. She felt excited in her heart, and she couldn't help but straighten her sitting posture, showing a dignified expression.

But... She felt a twitch in her heart, letting a three-year-old child do such a thing. She twitched her eyes and looked at him, what was she doing when she was three years old?

The people of the Federation are really monsters. They have such wisdom at the age of three... It doesn't seem to be the case. It seems that other children still look stupid. What is going on?

Freed from the desire mixed with greed and longing, Pachi regained her composure.

She secretly looked askance at the other party, feeling deeply disdainful for those unsophisticated old people who were manipulating the situation behind the scenes.

He is indeed not a human being, and those things are probably not either, they are simply beasts.

As for whether the other party might be lying to her, Pachi asked herself that she had always been sincere and honest, and it would be okay even if she suffered a little loss... as long as it was not too much.

With her blood-red eyes bulging and suppressing the unwillingness in her heart, Pachi thought to herself.

"I'm going to be blunt, hand over all your things, I'll search them to see if there's anything I can use." Qi Xiu said casually with a bit of carelessness.

Swish!

Deceiving too much!

Paqi had an angry expression and immediately stood up straight. A blood-red mist appeared around her body, giving people an evil feeling.

"I have a certain position in my body. It's probably like I'll be fine even if you're gone. Also, hurry up, I'm very busy and I have to rush to the next venue." Qi Xiu didn't even look at it, and even called yawn.

There is no natural reason......

Paqi sat down again with an aggrieved look on her face, her eyes filled with mist, her nose twitching, and her lips pursed tightly.

His trembling hands reached under the thick skirt, his legs were slightly opened, and with a crashing sound, a large pile of things fell in front of Qi Xiu.

Qi Xiu hooked his feet and pulled him in front of him.

Pick and choose.

There was only half a silver 'board' with a red button and half a yellow button. He glanced at it and saw a layer of light flashing across the cross section.

Scrap.

A ring-shaped bottle with a straight top and a wide bottom, with a thin layer of water mist on the outside, and a faint shaking sound could be heard on the inside. He blew into it, and there was no sound on the inside.

Scrap.

The 'long pole' was green all over, with a shiny tip and traces of water on it. He took it away with a look of disgust and looked at Pachi again, only to see that her face was red and her mouth was sullen.

"........"

"My sisters gave them to me. They are for grinding my teeth. They are still very fresh..."

After looking at the tooth marks on the side of the tip, Qi Xiu threw it away with a bored expression. Paqi hurriedly put it away, looking like it was a treasure.

He glanced at the other things again, such as the half-crushed yellow pages, the golden toad-shaped seal, the muddy yellow drumstick... He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, they were all waste products.

"Give me your instruction manual. You probably don't have anything useful here, but that one is barely useful."

Qi Xiu sighed and stretched out a hand. Paqi suppressed the surprise and solemnly placed some purple pamphlets with precautions when entering the country.

She was still amused that she would love such rags. This child was quite funny.

Qi Xiu put it away, a flash of joy flashed in his eyes, and then it faded away. With a straight face, he 'walked' along the window again, and left here after a while.

Looking at the distant figure, Paqi still had a hint of humility on her face. She looked at a figure that suddenly appeared to the side and said flatteringly.

"Sir, how about my performance? Can I be judged as the winner?"

There was a trace of desire in her eyes. If she was judged as the best, she could immediately recruit a lot of 'sisters' and let them work for her. This is also one of the highest pursuits of monsters.

Qi Zhuxing glanced coldly, and the latter suddenly stood there silently, with a little aggrieved face. If you don't give it, you won't give it. Why is it so cruel?

"Forget it this time. Next time, don't blame me for cutting off your head to show off to the public. A 'monster' who doesn't know how to measure things can be counted as a war meritorious person."

Facing the frightened Paqi, Qi Zhuxing's expression was cold. Then, his figure gradually faded and disappeared from Paqi's eyes.

After a long time, Pachi dared to take action.

She stuck out her tongue, feeling the strange smell that no longer existed, and felt relieved.

Paqi caressed her chest gently, showing a thankful expression. Then, her expression changed, and she gritted her teeth and said, "No wonder that little bitch told me here..."

She secretly hated the profiteer who sold her information at a high price, and felt sorry for the 'resources' she had paid for it.

"Move, and then..." She smiled sadly. She took out a golden square card with several large characters written on it.

(Gold level merchant)

"It's time to come back to the world." Paqi sighed, a trace of nostalgia flashed in her eyes, and then was burned away by the anger in her heart.

This time, she will make enough money again!

Pachi thought through gritted teeth.

Qi Xiu, who had already gone away, naturally did not care about the stupid monster he had blackmailed. After going to other places to obtain several different books using the same method, he stopped this actually somewhat dangerous action.

He sat in a park, placed a dozen notebooks on top, and browsed carefully.

"Hmm... Swallowing and exhalation can go hand in hand... Changing body posture is related to hypnosis... The contrast between brilliance and moonlight..."

He watched line by line, completely unaware of a figure standing behind him. The latter was looking here with extremely deep eyes, and the young figure was reflected in the black eyes.

Snapped!

Putting away the notebooks he got this time, he reached into his pocket and took out a few shabby notebooks. He held them with one hand and turned them over with the other, and started browsing again.

However, compared to the previous rough browsing, this time it was extremely slow. While browsing, he closed his eyes from time to time and gestured with his hands.

"...That's just a little magic trick used by the Federation to regulate those spirits, demons, demons, and monsters. It's not considered advanced knowledge."

A cold voice came from behind, Qi Xiu opened his eyes, and then there was a hint of ridicule on his face.

"That's better than knowing everything but not telling someone in your family."

"Since you don't tell me, then I will find it myself. Isn't that the natural ending?"

"...It's very dangerous. If I hadn't paid attention to you, those stubborn monsters would have torn you apart long ago. Is that what you want?"

The voice was still calm, but Qi Xiu dismissed it and opened his mouth.

"Whether I die or live, it's all my own choice. What have I done to you? Even if I really die, I still deserve it."

Qi Xiu's eyes darkened, his expression was contemptuous, but there was no falsehood in his words.

"You hate me?" the voice asked.

Qi Xiu sneered.

"Another nonsense."

"You stand on a high place and don't allow others to come forward. You also shout, I am doing it all for you. What do you think I would think of such a person? If you were not my father, I would have been too lazy to care about you. "

"Is this so..." Qi Zhuxing whispered, but his expression looked a little gloomy.

"Do you... long to become stronger?" came a slightly trembling voice.

Qi Xiu felt impatient and turned his head, but the expression on his face instantly became dull.

Wrapped in green smoke, the head below has become bone-white. No matter the blood color or popularity, it has nothing to do with that figure, but only the pair of black eyes are still looking here.

"How did you..." His lips trembled, with a trace of disbelief in his eyes, how could that person become like this.

"You should know." The man shook his head slowly, his movements seemed slow.

Qi Xiu was stunned for a while, and a series of memories suddenly came to his mind, including the death of his parents, the arrival of his uncle, the departure of his sister, and his own decision.

He closed his eyes and opened them again. The 'frizzy' in his eyes gradually dissipated, and a pair of calm eyes looked at each other.

"This is an illusion? So you are something similar to my inner demon?"

Qi Xiu muttered to himself, his brain suddenly started thinking about specific solutions.

As for the being who looked exactly like his 'father', a flash of red flashed in his eyes, and the hesitation in his heart was immediately cut off by him. The power from the soul would not allow him to be obsessed with 'obsession'.

The face that was gradually turning green looked at Qi Xiu who was thinking, and his alien eyes reflected the other person's 'appearance' at the moment.

The gray lines spread across the body, and the complicated patterns faintly formed a heraldry. A larger green current tightly wrapped around the body, even forming hundreds of thick 'belts' in the air.

In the middle of the body, there is a shining red heart, with a figure in it, dark red armor draped around the body, thick and powerful limbs, barbs all over the body, and two curved white tips on the top of the head. horn.

In the position of the brain, there is a trace of blue, just like the starry sky descending. The ethereal and silent atmosphere often even suppresses the other two, and there is a transparent outline of human nature in the center.

Then, a magnificent light bloomed, swallowing everything in, and then, a figure wearing a moon-white robe walked out.

Then, it let out a breath, its expression looked extremely warm, but its eyes seemed a little indifferent.

That's not Qi Xiu, it's also 'Qi Xiu'.

The slow brain thought, and it was convinced that the person was indeed its child, but it was not the child it knew.

"who are you?"

'Qi Xiu' turned his head, with a smile on his face. It was a smile that didn't look like a human being at all.

"I am, of course, Qi Xiu."

"Whether it is the past or the future, I will be the only Qi Xiu. Apart from me, there is no existence named 'Qi Xiu'. If it exists, it is also a falsehood and a blasphemy against me."

"No god exists forever, no saint deserves to be worshiped, only I exist in this world."

Qi Xiu chuckled lightly, his eyes were deep, but he couldn't see the truth in them.

"A unique alien, different from the dead in the human world, a spirit doll that grazes in the world, a fisherman who wanders in the river. If you ask me who I am, I really can't tell you at the moment."

"What could I be?" it asked itself, and then smiled.

"I am the one who enjoys everything, the one who never falls, the one who pursues all things, and the one who seeks the truth."

"the most important is......"

It raised its head and looked this way, its eyes clear and distant.

"This is what I will declare."

"I'll take a break——————"
