The puppets' stage play

People below the fifth level walked into the whirlpool, with both unwillingness and shame on their faces, but because of this, their eyes burned with flames again, which was an ambition that was even more expanded than before.

Belusa's eyes followed that figure closely, holding some expectation in her heart.

However, until the other party walked into it, he did not look back, as if he had forgotten her existence. She couldn't help but sigh softly, with a bitter smile on her face. Yu Qingchen patted her arm beside him, with concern in his eyes.

"It's nothing..." She shook her head and smiled again on her face, but it seemed a little forced in her eyes.

"Even if we are here -" Ibel paused for a moment, turned her head and looked around. There were only some guards left around them. She shook her head slightly and her eyes became serious.

"Then just leave like this"

She smiled, patted the slightly absent-minded Belusa on the shoulder, waited for her to regain consciousness, gently held her hand, and walked forward with a calm face, without any hesitation in her actions.

Belusa turned slightly sideways, raised her free hand, and said goodbye to her Aunt Shirley. She received some praise... no, a kind response from the other party. The way she waved her hand looked particularly fierce, as if she was envious. She is the same.

.....It must be an illusion, she sighed in her heart, thinking that she would have to ask some people from the Political and Legal Department later.

Belusa's mind couldn't stop thinking, and she took the hand of Yu Qingchen who was silent at the side. The other party showed a startled expression, and her eyes became confused. Belusa held her hand forcefully and asked her to come. Around yourself.

Belusa turned around and smiled at Ibel, who was walking slowly. There was a tacit understanding formed over many years in their eyes. Although they didn't say anything, they both understood what they were thinking.

"Let's work hard together from now on"

“That’s it”

Yu Qingchen stared blankly at the smiling two people, a look of emotion appeared on her face, and she suddenly let out a high-pitched voice.

"...Yes! I will definitely work hard! Try my best!"

The three of them looked at each other and smiled, then jumped into the whirlpool with light steps, and then disappeared.

People with a serious and solemn atmosphere moved forward silently, with no unnecessary emotions in their eyes, and stepped into the whirlpool one after another.

They are a bodyguard of up to a hundred people responsible for guarding the Saint. At present, everything is based on the safety of the Saint. Most of the members are at the fifth level, and the strong ones in command are around the seventh level, and they are also relatively young.

As the number one faction of idols, they have always been proud of this. At its peak, there were even about three hundred people. Some of them died during this war, but they still maintained a scale of about a hundred people.

The remaining two idols watched the crowd leave in silence. Suddenly there were only two figures left around. Star Lord and above flew to Andri's side and gathered around him according to the position of the great sacrifice. It seemed that What are we discussing.

Andre remained silent for the time being and stared at this side. Although he did not urge them, they both understood that the other party was waiting for them to leave.

Ran Xiuzhu's face was cold. She nodded gently to Li Ruchu, who was smiling in the distance, then looked at the position of the whirlpool, and whispered softly: "I will make a decision if necessary."

After saying that, she moved forward slowly, with some dark shadows flickering around her. She stepped into the whirlpool, and the surroundings were twisted and rippled, while Han Shiyin silently watched the other party leave.

She understood what the other party meant. The friendly relationship between the three people before made Ran Xiuzhu suspicious. She felt that the three of them might have formed an alliance in private, so she came to inform herself that she would cooperate with her when necessary.

After all, for 'Ran Xiuzhu', the name of the first idol is the most important. Once she loses that title, her fate will not be too good, and the same is true for her. If she does not help the other party, she will probably be criticized.

Therefore, to a certain extent, the two are indeed escapees tied to a rope. Below is the cliff. They need to fight side by side. However, at the same time, the connection cannot be seen by outsiders, otherwise the rope will break.

Han Shiyin glanced at a place from the corner of her eye, where Li Ruchu was surrounding Andri, with a smile on her face and looking very happy. She silently withdrew her gaze and moved forward steadily.

Ibel's Guard and Ran Xiuzhu's Hidden Guard have a long history of establishment, and their reputations are widely spread, but basically they will only protect the 'Saint' and 'Goddess'. No matter who the other party is, they are the guardians of that profession. .

Han Shiyin's palms clenched silently. The team she led had long since left, and she was the only one left here. Compared to the two who were so powerful, she looked extremely downcast.

Originally, the 'Fairy' had their own team, but not all of them recognized Han Shiyin. Only some of them independently established the Crimson Red Regiment. Now they have suffered heavy casualties and are no longer strong. They left first at the urging of Han Shiyin.

"Burn the heart to condense the soul, destroy the soul to sacrifice the heart, and it goes round and round, becoming infinite."

She murmured softly, her bright red eyes became brighter and brighter, and a smile appeared on her lips. She walked into the whirlpool with her head high and lost her figure.

After his figure disappeared, the mysterious street pavilion suddenly faded away like a yellowed photo, then turned pale white and disappeared into the air, along with the looming passage.

"So, the ceremony is completed," Andri said with emotion. What he was talking about was the fourth step of the great sacrifice, the return of the living to their hometowns.

"In this way, even if there are people who want to target us, they will definitely not be successful. Uncle will do the right thing." Li Ruchu on the side said with a smile with shining eyes.

Andre didn't respond, just paused slightly and turned to look at the other silent woman, with a strange light flashing in his eyes.

"Really?" Xi Muran raised her eyebrows, feeling a little confused. This was her first time participating in such a large-scale ceremony. To be honest, she didn't understand some of the other party's previous actions.

"...Actually, I should have given you information before. You didn't read it, right?" Shirley naturally turned her head, avoiding someone's sight, and complained to Xi Muran, with a sigh in her tone. .

"I...I will go see it later"

Xi Muran first looked away in embarrassment, then clasped his palms together, looking a little ashamed. Xue Li nodded majestically, ignoring the woman whose eyes turned cold, but felt lucky in her heart.

Andri kept looking at the exchange between the two with deep eyes. His face looked particularly indifferent, while the spokespersons of the nearest Dongdu and Xidu still had a calm expression, standing guard not far away, blocking the Creator. their proximity.

"If it is an ordinary sacrifice, we usually don't need to take part. After all, not many 'outsiders' will notice. Our people can also be reincarnated safely, but not this time."

Shirley explained to Xi Muran, with a serious look on her face, but she was thinking in a cold sweat in her heart.

[Why... why are you looking at me? Could it be that uncle has noticed something...]

"We took the initiative to launch the attack this time, and all the forces in the universe can detect it. Therefore, once they want to do anything to the people who died this time, they can target the individual very accurately. This is what we want to avoid. place"

[The sight is so scary...so scary, so scary! 】

"But the founding chapter is different. If you chant it while understanding its meaning, you can protect the people who have passed away. It is a power that will never be blocked or observed, so you can protect them."

"Why?" Xi Muran frowned, looking a little confused.

【Why? That’s what I wanted to ask, but I couldn’t find it in my memory...]

"Well..." Shirley lowered her eyes slightly, covering up the confusion in her eyes, trying her best to think about how to end it next?

"Because of the symbolic meaning of that 'reality'" Andri suddenly interjected, moving his somewhat cold eyes towards Xi Muran, Shirley exhaled in her heart, that's all.

Please don't look at me, look at other people, someone is angry...

Li Ruchu glared at this side, and then looked at Xi Muran seriously, with guarded eyes. Xueli was relieved and looked at the 'junior' with a somewhat cheerful look, thank you, she shouted in her heart.

"The essence of practicing at the Creator stage is to further understand the meaning of the power you possess, that is, the question of who I am."

"On the conventional scale of the universe, you have reached the limit of what it can accommodate, so no matter how long it takes or how hard you try, you will not grow at all, and of course, you will not usher in decline."

"With infinite power, I chase eternity, but it is elusive. I often dream of eating to feel full, but when I wake up, I realize that it is a lie."

"It's just a bubble after all——"

"What is the symbol?" Xi Muran interrupted Andri's long narration innocently, but with impatience in his eyes, he directly asked the question he wanted to know.

Andri glanced at the woman, with some helplessness on his face, and then warned: "Don't be so anxious sometimes. This is a necessary explanation. Remember, without a deep foundation, a majestic statue cannot be erected."

"Yes Yes Yes!"

After Xi Muran answered solemnly, he suddenly showed a sincere expression, as if he was listening very seriously, but even Shirley could see that her eyes were wandering, and she was obviously distracted.

"This guy!" Li Ruchu looked at the other person with gloomy eyes as if he was offended, and cursed in a low voice.

"Then let me tell you something briefly."

Andri was not angry, but accepted this calmly, without any displeasure on his expression. Xi Muran's eyes suddenly flashed with joy, and she glanced at Li Ruchu proudly, her head raised slightly.

"..." Shirley looked at that figure in surprise. Looking at his peaceful eyes, she felt a little touched in her heart.

Even if he only has such an attitude towards some people, it is surprising that as a president he can do this. At least for Shirley herself, she doesn't think she will do a good job.

She somewhat understood her future self... She felt a little envious in her heart, but at the same time she also realized deeply that indeed her current self and her future self were completely different people, even if they were considered separate individuals. No exaggeration.

Because she would never fall in love with that kind of 'fraternity' guy. If she faced that kind of treatment as an outsider, she would naturally feel moved. However, if it was someone with a close relationship, it would be a disaster.

Cold thoughts lingered in her mind. The education she received told her that this kind of person could only be used, not approached, otherwise she would only be burned, just like... her mother.

A lonely person who is cold and aloof, ignores the emotions of others and only follows his own will.

..... Hey, her mother should be a more ordinary and kind person, why would she think of such irrelevant descriptors... Is she dreaming... ...

'That reality never exists! ’

"Let me give you an example."

An idea flashed through her mind, and at the same time a gentle voice sounded, driving away her somewhat messy thoughts. Shirley raised her face in confusion, and Andre looked away calmly. Shirley was shocked.

He was looking at himself before, why should he look at himself, that note... Shirley's eyes became a little hazy, she shook her head, and looked at Andri who was talking again, with a look on his face. With a gentle smile.

[Huh, fortunately, the other party didn't care about me. I have to be cautious next time and never reveal my origins. I hope that my research will end in the future, alas...]

"If there is a rumor, it is said that a monster will appear when the sun rises. It has a long body, two soft hooves, and tentacles that can support the body."

"It can observe the environment, bite prey, smell, and use its own wisdom to defeat beings ten times stronger than itself."

Xi Muran's eyes became weird. She opened her mouth to speak, but Andre reached out to stop her. Li Ruchu's eyes also looked hesitant, looking a little unbelievable.

Based on this image, Shirley instead sketched out a certain image in her mind. That image was consistent with her knowledge, but it made her face look strange.

The three of them looked at Andri with surprised eyes, hesitation on his face, but he still had a calm expression, and there was no hesitation in his eyes.

"It has hair that compares to the night sky, has developed emotions and -"

"It's human"

"people"

"It can only be human"

The three of them interrupted Andri's words and spoke their answers in unison. Andri closed his mouth with joy in his eyes, and then whispered: "No."

"I never said that it was a human being, but that it was a monster."

Xi Muran's words were like sophistry, and a look of perseverance appeared on his face. Li Ruchu frowned and thought hard. Xue Li thought for a moment, then took a deep breath and said solemnly.

"Even if it is a monster, as long as it sounds like a human, has the same exposed characteristics as a human, and has the same intelligence as a human, then it is a 'human' that can communicate. This is a fallacy that has been made in the past."

If something is given a human shape, making it similar to humans, and can learn from human experience and wisdom, then can it be counted as a human existence regardless of what it is originally?

"Of course not, it's just a mere fake. How can it be compared with others? All it takes is death." Li Ruchu's expression was soft, but cold words escaped from his mouth.

Xi Muran did not agree with the former view. After all, according to the other party's view, then she was also a fake who was going to die. However, she did not speak to refute for the time being, but stared at the man in front of her, waiting for him. answer.

The same goes for Shirley. She looked at the other person with somewhat complicated eyes, but in her heart she was thinking about how those people in her family seemed to respect her but were actually distant from her. In their eyes, was she also a foreign object?

Facing the gazes of the three people, Andre showed a relaxed smile.

"That is the embodiment of 'symbol'. No matter how we think about it, to the world, that thing is human beings who are the same as us. If we all disappear overnight, then——"

Andrian started, his eyes a little cold.

"It is 'human', and it will inherit everything from us as a matter of course, just like our true descendants."

"And this great sacrifice actually borrowed the power of that allusion. Demon God Youtian defeated Holy Emperor Dawn, but the power of the latter was not affected by the former and was successfully spread to the star sea."

"The dead were regarded as 'the power' at that moment, so they would not be interfered with or discovered. This is why I recounted that chapter. That power would help them reincarnate successfully and avoid being affected by their fate. "Constraints"

"Severing the relationship with the Forest Federation in a mysterious sense. Unless they rise again and return of their own will, no one will be able to regard them as our people because they are cut off."

Andre's voice sounded a little heavy. He looked into the silent void, but his eyes looked very calm.

"Under the influence of fate, we will greatly deviate from our own happiness, our thinking will become crazy, and we will reach the end."

He lowered his gaze, looked directly at the faces of the three people, and spoke word by word.

"The so-called destiny refers to the east and exceeds the west. What you ask for is not obtained."

Shirley felt cold in her heart. She looked at that calm gaze and vaguely felt that it was a warning to herself. An alarm bell rang in her heart. She barely suppressed the panic in her heart and looked at the other person.

After a moment, Andre looked away and looked at an open space.

"You should go back now, Lingmao, get ready."

A figure appeared in the void, and Ling Mao with melancholy eyes suddenly appeared on the spot. He lowered his head respectfully and put one hand on his chest to show his loyalty.

"Everything is as you wish!"

Shirley looked at him, and a smile flashed across the latter's face. At the same time, the surrounding space became stagnant, as if it had fallen into a swamp.

Figures appear in the air...
