The puppets' stage play

Dahei lurked, and disappearances occurred one after another in the shanty town.

People's hearts are floating, and the haze secretly continues to spread until it covers the entire area.

Qi Xiu opened his eyes and saw a familiar mirror in front of him. He searched his body's memory privately. He remembered when he and Song Sheng went home...

"Ha, Lao Song, you asked me to catch you again. Let's go again..."

Song Sheng's expression changed drastically, and he quickly stepped forward to cover the other person's mouth, and said to Qi Xiu with an embarrassed look, this is Lao Xu, whom he has known for 'many years'. Song Sheng looked at the other person fiercely.

Lao Xu looked a little embarrassed. He smiled naively and raised his eyebrows at Song Sheng. Song Sheng helplessly told Qi Xiu to go back first. He had some things to deal with.

"......"

Qi Xiu didn't ask any more questions, turned around and left, and there was a slight voice behind him.

"Old Xu, you are so unreasonable, even in front of the child."

"Then how could I catch you? Haha, if I hadn't seen you hugging me from one side to the other, I would have believed your serious skills."

"Keep your voice down, I'm going to be embarrassed"

"You old boy still have the nerve, bah, don't say much, just walk around."

Song Sheng looked at Qi Xiu's leaving figure and complained to Lao Xu. Lao Xu laughed and said a few words of ridicule.

Lao Xu immediately strode forward, calling Song Sheng to follow.

Song Sheng hadn't gone for many days before. When he went with the other party a few days ago, his interest was rekindled. Thinking that he didn't have anything important to do today, he didn't refuse and followed the other party enthusiastically.

Qi Xiu's mechanical body returned to his residence, went directly to the room, and completed the standby period in front of the mirror until his consciousness returned.

He raised his brows and curled his mouth silently. Song Sheng thought he didn't know where he was going, but in fact he knew exactly where he was going.

The people he needs to use are often monitored by Xi Shou, and they go to the illegal work area. He shook his head and didn't pay attention to such trivial matters.

"Shou, are you there?"

"...Master, what's wrong?" Qi Xiu whispered to the other party. Xi Shou's big, confused eyes opened from the mirror and looked at Qi Xiu in confusion.

Qi Xiu did not answer the other party directly and began to talk about the situation in his own world.

"You know, what we need to master when going to other worlds are body control and spiritual enlightenment. One is to control the body and hide in the crowd, and the other is to create cannon fodder to protect ourselves and protect our safety.

The body control technique will consume the lifespan of the original body, so it requires daily energy storage. The spiritual enlightenment technique is not favored by local rules and will make the caster's luck worse. The disadvantages of both can be compensated.

But in fact, there is another kind of magic that targets the soul, which is copying. Teachers generally do not require it to be mastered, because it is relatively useless, not universal between worlds, and has no obvious advantages.

I am also currently researching new techniques, combining the reshaping technique I created in the past, and using the profession-specific teleportation technique to improve the copying technique. Maybe it can replace the copying technique in the future and stand side by side with the first two."

Qi Xiu stared at Xi Shou who was listening intently to his explanation, his face expressionless.

"I say this to prove that I have a bright future and will not remain weak forever. So if you can't keep up with me, I will just abandon you... Do you understand?"

Xi Shou's pupils dilated and he jumped from the mirror to the table, looking directly at Qi Xiu with watery eyes.

Qi Xiu smiled, gently caressed Xi Shou, and looked to the side: "Blade, what about you?"

In the air, the originally invisible outline appeared and solidified, and a strong man appeared in the house.

His pupils were dark, with only a white dot in the center flickering, and his forehead had lightning-like patterns. Upon closer inspection, there were sharp blades hidden in his arms, body, and thighs.

It is the warrior-level moxibustion blade.

"........ah"

Moxibustion Blade tilted his head, and occasionally there was a slight hint of reluctance in his eyes, but he couldn't express it accurately.

"Your heart has begun to sprout, Blade. I will try my best to help you. If you reach the third level, I will not give up on you." Qi Xiu was a little relieved. His many days of hard work were not in vain. At this moment, the other party at least has the mind of a newborn child.

"Shou, the same goes for you. Although I value you the most, if you are not at the third level when I leave this world, I will not have a deep contract with you."

Qi Xiu looked at Xi Shou, feeling sad in his heart, but still firmly expressed his thoughts.

".....it won't happen"

Xi Shou's small voice sounded, a little sad in his voice: "We will be together!"

"....Ah, me too...."

The moxibustion blade made a sound, but I couldn't continue talking. My newborn heart didn't quite understand what separation was.

"I will also convey my words to Ying. If he can accept me, I hope he will try harder." Don't say bad things about me behind my back all day long. Qi Xiu didn't say it out loud.

He actually didn't think Shaoying would choose him. Their clan was a standard mercenary system and had few followers.

‘My approach is different from yours. I will tell them my thoughts openly, instead of abandoning them without hesitation in the end.’

Qi Xiu said deep in his heart that if he were in his true form, he would probably sneer at this approach based on his thinking.

But he is now attached to Du De, and he does not deny that he will act more softly in the outside world. According to his nature, people like Song Sheng will be ruthlessly abandoned by him, will flout the rules, vigorously change the memories of others, and occupy high positions. , but...he doesn't want this.

Haha, there was a vague mockery of this approach deep in his heart, but he didn't stop it because 'he' didn't care and only valued his own safety.

Qi Xiu was thinking about this, his expression changed, and he looked forward.

A crack was torn open in the void, and a figure stepped out.

She shook her head, looking a little dizzy. It was the advance officer, who looked at her sensitively, and Liduo laughed happily.

Qi Xiu sighed helplessly and came again.

"Hello, I just finished my mission and came to see you. How are you? Are you impressed?"

Li Duo ran forward, her body was in front of Qi Xiu in an instant, and her face was close to him.

The purple eyes on the dark face were looking at Qi Xiu with interest, the corners of his mouth were curved, and his slender palms patted Qi Xiu's shoulders.

Qi Xiu had no expression on his face and looked directly at the other person coldly.

Li Duo looked away shyly and looked around. When she saw the moxibustion blade, she chuckled. When she saw Xi Shou, her eyes brightened and she jumped in front of him to observe carefully.

"Isn't this already close to the peak of an ordinary stream guard? If your mind becomes more mature, you can go back to Yingquan to upgrade. You've done a good job."

She praised in surprise and looked back at Qi Xiu in surprise.

The other party was a surprise, and he didn't expect it to go so smoothly. When the words came to his lips, he still didn't say them out.

Qi Xiu did not speak and acquiesced. After all, it was not appropriate to talk about this kind of thing to others. His recent focus was on assessment.

Qi Xiu looked at Li Duo, who was thoughtful and didn't expect Qi Xiu's answer.

"...By the way, why do you only have a face or a shadow all over your body? Your body is obviously the same as that of a normal person..." Qi Xiu originally wanted to change the topic, but on the contrary, the other party's expression changed.

Liduo's expression turned cold instantly, her face was as frosty as ice, her gaze was extremely dazzling, and there was a trace of melancholy deep in her eyes.

".....nothing dealing with you!"

The frost-like momentum was oppressing invisible, Qi Xiu's breath was stagnant, and he looked sideways to the other side without refuting the other party.

Lido suddenly smiled.

“I’m kidding you, you also know that our clan was originally just some troublemaking goblins, at least in my world. Later, when our ancestors became stronger, in order to improve our weaknesses, we chose humans to seize bodies.

This gives us wisdom and the appearance of a human being. Although I am only one of my father's many children, I also received a human template.

A little girl, I didn't pay attention at first because everyone did it, and the result was that I only kept my own face." Lido fell into thinking about the past and became silent.

"Didn't anyone ask you about your situation? And that little girl..." Perhaps Qi Xiu was touched by various recent events. He asked the other party tentatively, with a trace of pity in his heart.

"Me? Haha, I said I didn't want everything to be my own, so I kept my face and no one questioned it because it didn't matter. As for that little girl..."

Lido was silent for a long time, her purple eyes looking at the table absentmindedly.

"She is dead. Before I softened my heart, she only had a face left, so... she is dead."

Liduo said calmly. She looked at the hand that was not her own. It was white and tender, exuding the vitality of the body. Her eyes were calm, her words were exceptionally calm, but her whole person seemed lifeless.

"..." Qi Xiu remained silent, not wanting to interfere with the other person's sentimentality.

"Not to mention these, before I came here this time, I also explored every corner of the world, and finally I came to a conclusion." Li Duo reluctantly smiled at Qi Xiu and talked about the purpose of her coming here.

Qi Xiu's expression perked up and he was highly focused.

"This world is probably a training camp for the Glory Military Court. They train high-end talents that meet their requirements on a planet-by-planet basis."

Li Duo spoke word by word, looking at Qi Xiu's increasingly serious expression, she smiled.

"You don't have to worry too much. Although this is the original purpose of this world, it has not fully implemented the training of minute needles. I have seen the leaders. Every one of the upper echelons of this world is seen by those messengers of justice. To be executed

It must be a casually passing military court member who planted the seeds casually. The technology in this world must also be the work of the other party. There are not thousands, but hundreds of such worlds. You will understand later."

"So this world is a free-range existence, so there will be huge class antagonisms." Qi Xiu frowned and asked the other party.

"Not sure, maybe, the other party will agree on a date with the higher-ups in this world and come back to see when, but that has nothing to do with us.

I heard from the captain that the time concept of high-dimensional people is often hundreds or thousands of years, so you just need to pay attention to something, as long as you don't expose yourself openly to prevent the other party from having communication methods with the higher-ups here."

Li Duo smiled brightly and explained Qi Xiu carefully.

".....I see"

Qi Xiu narrowed his eyes and agreed.

Li Duo comforted Qi Xiu on the surface, but she was also uneasy in her heart. She also knew Qi Xiu's mission. Maybe the other party came after the Emperor's Favorite. In that case, the other party might be extremely high in terms of strength and status... ...

She was anxious in her heart, and couldn't help but look at Qi Xiu who was brooding. Inexplicably, the other person overlapped with a certain figure, the guy who called her sister.

There was nostalgia in her eyes, but also sadness and hatred. The other party finally betrayed her and gave her a fatal blow.

Liduo covered Qi Xiu's hair with her right hand and stroked it with a confused expression.

Qi Xiu's body stiffened, but he did not refuse. He looked up at Li Duo, his expression unchanged.

She was a little disgusted with this plainness, so she squeezed the other person's face with her left hand, and looked at Qi Xiu's uncontrollable frown, and she smiled happily.

Li Duo put down her hands, arranged Qi Xiu's clothes, patted the dust gently, and looked at Qi Xiu with gentle eyes, like looking at her naughty younger brother.

"Call me sister"

Lido smiled, but her eyes were extremely serious.

"?"

Qi Xiu felt extremely confused. Looking at the longing eyes of the other party, he could not speak, so he had to lower his head and remain silent.

A trace of sadness flashed in Liduo's eyes, and she patted Qi Xiu on the shoulder.

"Whether you admit it or not, I am better than you now, so I am your sister!" Liduo's rough voice made Qi Xiu look up, but the other party still had a gentle gaze.

"... Just think that I have provided you with so much information... okay?" Lido begged with longing in her eyes, without the demeanor of a strong man.

Qi Xiu was silent for a moment, and he nodded reluctantly.

Lido's dim eyes lit up, and her whole body jumped with excitement.

Suddenly, his expression changed and he looked at Qi Xiu with some embarrassment.

"Actually, my sister sneaked out in the middle of the mission this time. Hey, she was discovered by the captain. Then my sister is leaving now. I'll see you next time."

Li Duo reluctantly touched Qi Xiu's head, sighed, opened the crack, and jumped in.

"Glory Military Court..."

Qi Xiu felt a haze in his heart when he thought about the words of the demon he heard connected to him at that moment.
