The Reader and Protagonist Definitely Have to Be in True Love

There was silence in the auditorium, and the team leader watched nervously in the background.Did that scene just screw up?

Antonio took a long gulp of his wine, put down the jug, and started clapping.The crisp applause echoed in the auditorium, and the audience seemed to wake up from some kind of dream.As if being infected, more and more people joined in the applause. In the end, the applause rang out and lasted for a long time.

In the box, Vieruodis stared at the bright red curtain, as if she wanted to see Cecil and his lover who were covered by the curtain.

Together forever...that's a horrible joke.

Vieruodis reached into her pocket tremblingly, trying to take out her pocket watch, but there was nothing in her pocket.

***

"Everyone has worked hard!" The team leader smiled until his eyes narrowed into a line. "The show was a great success!"

"Oh yeah!"

"Salary increase!"

……

Everyone laughed happily. Du Ze took back his glasses and put them on. While Xiu was going to change in the dressing room, he found Enoch in a corner.Enoch made a gesture when he saw Du Ze, and said excitedly: "Thanks to you, the Thief finally succeeded!"

Du Ze knew that Enoch was talking about his mission, now that Enoch has completed the mission, he can finally get back his doujinshi.

"Where's my book?"

"I'll return it to you tomorrow." Enoch said, "Last time, I put it with a friend in order to remove the seal on the outside." He still asked unwillingly, "Hey, tell me what's inside there? "

Boy, if you don't die, you won't die.

When Du Ze was about to tell Enoch not to let Xiu find out when returning the book, he saw the thief on the opposite side opened his eyes in surprise.Just as Du Ze wanted to turn around, he was hugged by someone from behind, and a frivolous voice rang in his ears.

"Come on, let me see how beautiful people are even more beautiful than Cecil."

Du Ze's first reaction at the time was embarrassing, master of the plot, why don't you be so dedicated! The Star Empire plot of "Mixed Blood" is divided into three stages. The first stage is Enoch's apprenticeship, and the second stage is the second generation of officials finding fault: Erwin, the son of the Prime Minister of the Star Empire, is notoriously lustful for women. After the performance of "Cecile", the official second generation rushed to the backstage, and then molested the heroine who played Cecil's lover.After changing clothes, Xiu came out of the locker room to stop the second official's evil deeds, so the second official became furious. He saw that Xiu only had the badge of a junior soldier, and proposed a life-and-death duel.

Du Ze said that he really likes to watch this kind of drama where the two guys find fault and the cute master pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger, but...why did the heroine become him! ?A certain stupid girl looked at the real heroine not far away, and then at the women's clothing that she hadn't had time to change, and was speechless.

Enoch finally came to his senses: "Let go of my brother!"

"So what if I don't let go?" Erwin snorted, he gave a look, and two guards went out to surround Enoch.Erwen put his nose on Du Ze's shoulder and took a deep breath: "Honey, you smell so good."

Goose bumps all over Du Ze's body.

"I am a man."

Erwen probably thought it was Du Ze's excuse, and he uttered obscenity.Dirty laughter: "Then take off your clothes and let me see how manly you are..."

Enoch was about to bypass the guards and rescue Du Ze, when he saw a green shadow passing by, right between the brows of that dude.

The strong impact made Erwen let go of Du Ze, and he staggered back a few steps. He touched his forehead with his hand, and a small bump appeared there.Under everyone's eyes, Xiu Han appeared with a face. He walked up to Du Ze, and stretched out his hands to smooth the wrinkles made by Erwen, as if wiping away disgusting dirt.

"How dare you treat me—"

Erwin fell silent halfway through his words.Dead silence, dead silence, the whole space seemed to be frozen, the silver-haired elf was clearly just quietly arranging the clothes for the black-haired young man, and he didn't even have a ferocious expression on his face, but Erwen felt that he was actually dead , he has been killed by the opponent.

As if to verify Erwin's idea, Xiu's voice without the slightest warmth sounded the prelude to death in the dead space.

"germination."

A burst of severe pain came from between Erwen's eyebrows. He held his forehead and let out a scream. Everyone watched in horror as thin branches and green leaves grew from between Erwen's fingers. The green color was so bright It's frightening.

"Grow."

Not only his forehead, but branches grew out of Erwin's eyes, nose, mouth, and ears. He rolled on the ground in pain, his sharp nails scratched the skin, and thin strips protruded from the flesh.Two guards tried to rescue their master in a panic, one of them tried to take Erwin away, but as soon as he got close, the branches would attack him, and when he cut off the branches, Erwin would let out a terrible cry , as if a piece of flesh had been cut off raw.Another guard tried to capture Xiu, but when he saw Xiu's gaze, he immediately felt that if he took one step forward at this time, he would definitely die without a place to bury him.

Hearing the scream that seemed to be Ling Chi, Du Ze wanted to turn around to look, but Xiu held his neck and couldn't move.

"Don't look." Xiu's voice was extremely cold: "It's dirty."

When branches grew out of the shoes, Erwen was almost dead, and Xiu's last two words marked the end of death.

"flowering."

In an instant, those blood-stained branches bloomed with small white flowers. The pure white color was incompatible with the bloody scene, but it was the most ironic contrast.

Du Ze was finally let go of his neck by Xiu. When he turned his head to look, he could only see brightly blooming small white flowers, and under the intertwined branches, he could barely see a puddle of red liquid.Even though he didn't see the whole process, Du Ze knew the ending from the faces of other people - the script is wrong, master of the plot!Didn't Xiu just stop the evil deeds of the second generation of officials? Why did he kill the second generation of officials as soon as he came up! ?Although Xiu also cannon fodder the second generation of officials in the duel field later, but at that time, he signed a life-and-death agreement, and the prime minister was furious and couldn't openly attack Xiu, but now...

A certain idiot deeply felt that this was a prelude to being wanted.

Everyone watched all this dumbfounded. Erwin's two guards were just about to leave secretly when Enoch knocked them unconscious.The team leader looked at the little white flower that transformed the corpse into nourishment, and then at the expressionless silver-haired elf, gritted his teeth and asked people to close the door quickly.All the people present here are my own family members. If it is handled quickly, no one will find out about it.Just as the team leader thought about it, he saw a stranger on the field at some point.It was a female alchemist sitting in a wheelchair. She was wearing a veil and gloves, covering her whole body so tightly that she could not be seen at all. On her lap, there was a sleeping cat. Little Chimera.

The female alchemist said, "I am Vieruodis."

After hearing the identity of the alchemist, the team leader was dumbfounded. Why did the famous alchemist suddenly appear here, and it was at this terrible moment.He had no idea when Vieruodis came and how long she had been watching here.

Not knowing whether it was luck or misfortune, Vieruodis ignored the blood-stained white flowers on the ground.Even through the veil, she could still be seen staring at Enoch.

"Young man, didn't your parents teach you not to take other people's things?"

"I'm sorry." Enoch said stiffly, "I don't have parents, I only have an old and disrespectful mentor."

"Who is your mentor?"

"Jack, Jack the Thief."

The reason why Enoch answered so honestly was because when he checked the information of Bilordis, he found that this famous female alchemist was a very good friend with Jack the Thief when she was young, and they had taken many adventures together. place, and finally broke up after a certain adventure.Enoch had never heard the Thief King talk about this matter before, and thinking of this mission, he was sure that his teacher definitely did it on purpose.

Next, Vieruodis did react as Enoch had guessed, but what Enoch didn't expect was that Vieruodis' reaction was too violent.When hearing that name, Vieruodis began to tremble as if she couldn't bear it: "...give me back the pocket watch."

Enoch was about to say something, when Vieruodis suddenly raised her voice, almost screaming: "Give me the pocket watch!"

The little Chimera in Vieruodis' arms woke up suddenly. It jumped out of the alchemist's arms, and its body swelled and expanded instantly like a blow, and finally became a giant four meters tall with a lion's head, a sheep's body, and a snake's tail. Alien beast.Chimera stared at Enoch covetously, saliva dripped from the corner of its mouth, and made a sizzling sound of corrosion when it fell on the stone floor.

"Senior, senior, you have something to say, something to say—"

The chimera jumped straight up, and Enoch jumped up and down to avoid its attack.It has to be said that the short-haired thief has a lot of experience in escaping and dodging. He can even last several rounds under Xiu's attack.While dodging Chimera's attack, Enoch tried to communicate with Vieruodis.After discovering that Vieruodis had completely lost her mind, Enoch had no choice but to make the worst move.

Chimera bit Enoch, but it was just an afterimage. The real Enoch had already stuck behind Vieruodis, holding the owner of the beast hostage.

"Offended." The thief's voice was full of bitterness. "Senior, please calm down."

Vieruodis had no sense of being caught at all, she murmured almost to herself: "Apparatus, Apparatus... Heh, it's really him..."

"I don't mean to offend you, senior, my teacher gave me a task, he should want to meet you, so—"

"I don't want to see him." Vieruodis's voice was very calm now, but full of the calm before the storm: "Let go of me, and return the pocket watch to me."

Seeing Enoch hesitate, the alchemist took out a small bottle from his pocket.

"As long as I open this bottle, everyone here will die. Do you want to try it?"

The atmosphere in the audience suddenly became dignified, even Xiu couldn't stand on the sidelines, he grabbed Du Ze and was ready to leave at any time.Just when the tense atmosphere reached its peak, a sigh came from the ceiling: "Dis, don't embarrass the junior."

A figure jumped down, it was a boy with freckles on his face, about ten years old.After seeing the boy, Enoch let go of Vieruodis, and instantly came to the boy's side: "Teacher!"

Almost everyone suspected that they had heard it wrong, but what happened next told them that what happened just now was not a collective hallucination.

"Stinky boy, it's so useless." The little boy said with disgust on his face, "Don't say you are my apprentice when you go out in the future."

"I don't care about thieves!" Enoch said indignantly, he took out his pocket watch and handed it to the boy.

No matter how unbelievable it is, everything in front of him has proved that the ten-year-old boy is the famous Thief King Jack.Apart from the person involved, only Du Ze knows: The reason why Jack the Thief is so "young" is because his time has been reversed - he will become smaller and smaller, from a child to a baby, and finally return to an embryo. His "death".

The moment Jack saw the pocket watch, a complex light of nostalgia flashed in his eyes. He held the pocket watch and looked at Vieruodis who had been silent since he appeared.

"Dies, long time no see."

Seeing Vieruodis sitting in a wheelchair like a statue, Jack shook his pocket watch like a kid trying to get the attention of a girl he likes, and smiled viciously: "Ignore what I say, I will Just smash it."

Vieruodis still didn't respond, the little boy wrinkled his face, it looked like he was the one being bullied.Enoch's eyes flicked back and forth between the two, and finally couldn't help asking: "Teacher knows senior?"

"Don't call me senior, call me teacher's wife." Jack said.

Enoch was shocked, everyone was shocked.Pirate King Jack and Vieruodis used to be very famous partners in the Chaos Continent. They took risks everywhere and created many legends. However, 20 years ago, the pair suddenly broke up. One step, and the other gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.Regarding the relationship between Jack and Vieruodis, there were also rumors that they were a couple, but now it has been confirmed by the parties involved, making the people present feel like they are participating in the legendary story.

"Ah……"

At this time, the other party sneered.Vieruodis finally spoke, her voice was indifferent: "You still like to lie so much."

"No lie, we were originally a couple." Jack glanced at the people around him: "Everyone thinks so, right?"

Everyone who the Stolen King saw nodded reflexively. Vieruodis was silent for a moment, then she stretched out her hand and lifted her veil.When Vieruodis showed her true face, everyone realized that she was a gray-haired old man.

Even though he has read all this from the novel, Du Ze still feels shocked.Vieruodis and Jack were once indeed a pair of lovers. In the last adventure, they went to the gnome ruins; in the gnome ruins, the two opened a building, and then touched the wheel of time.This was the beginning of a tragedy. After leaving the dwarf ruins, they found that their time was wrong: Vieruodis was aging rapidly, while Jack was rejuvenating.

Time separates the lovers.At this time, Vieruodis and Jack stood together, like a pair of grandparents.

Facing everyone's unbelievable gazes, Vieruodis laughed: "Tell me, how could he and I be a couple."

She said to herself: You are so old, how can you be with him.

She said to herself: You are so ugly, how can you be with him.

If I can make a potion for rejuvenation, will I be able to be with him?

In my memory, the boy with freckles gave the pocket watch to the girl: We are a match made in heaven.

"Why is it impossible?" Jack walked in front of Vieruodis, and he gently placed the pocket watch on Vieruodis's lap: "We are made for each other."

Because of Jack's approach, Vieruodis subconsciously turned her face away, but she was held gently, and the boy on the opposite side said seriously: "Look, no one wants to fall in love with my little brat, nor People are willing to pursue you, an old woman, so we can only be together."

Under Vieruodis' dazed gaze, Jack winked: "Although we grow in different directions, we can still die at the same time."

The transparent liquid slid down the wrinkles, and Vieruodis closed her eyes: "...It's ugly, it's too ugly."

"Then don't let them see, let's go on an adventure again, this time to a place where there are no people." Jack kissed the corner of Vieruodis' eyes: "Dis, don't hide from me anymore, we have missed too much time .”

Vieruodis was only shedding tears, her mouth trembling but she didn't say anything, Jack's smile was also tinged with bitterness.

"Your lover is obviously him, why should you care about other people's eyes."

Everyone turned their heads in astonishment, and looked at the silver-haired elf who had just said these words, even Vieruodis couldn't help but opened his eyes.Du Ze looked at Xiu subconsciously, but found that Xiu seemed to be watching him from the beginning to the end, as if the sentence just now was addressed to him.When he saw Du Ze meeting his gaze, Xiu's hands trembled, as if he wanted to reach out to touch Du Ze, but restrained himself.

——The person who likes you is obviously me, why should I care what other people think.

Is it that hard to accept me...?

Du Ze seemed to be able to read this message from those green eyes, but he finally lowered his head and looked away.

—I never cared what other people thought.

Never said...don't like it.

This person is the person he cares about most in this world. At first, he cared because of guilt, but after caring for a long time, he couldn't tell what kind of feelings he had for Xiu.

If he wants to fix it, he wants to fix it, whatever he wants, he will give it to him, but he can't, because he will regret it.

The person Xiu likes, cares about, and wants can be anyone in this world, but it should never be a person named Du Ze.

He didn't know how long he could stay in this world.

Just like Cecil's story faintly shows: when one of the parties freezes in time, the next step is separation.

He doesn't have time to freeze, but he has zero point to restore.

This golden finger, which has existed since he came to this world, reminded him from beginning to end: You are not from this world.

So sooner or later it will leave.
