The puppets' stage play

Chapter 341 The Day of Oath

Qi Xiu opened his eyes and saw a familiar scenery in front of him.

"Back." He whispered, then turned to look at the other person.

On the steep mountain ridge, there is a woman, standing calmly against the cold wind, her graceful posture seems to be leaving here.

"...It's time to make a decision." The woman turned around with an indifferent expression on her face. It was a 'gesture' that Qi Xiu had forgotten and only appeared at the beginning.

Known as a princess and also a noblewoman from a famous family, Belusa looked calmly at this side and said the following words.

"I'm tired of it, so this 'playing house' behavior ends here."

Those frosty eyes stared at him, but those pale lips spoke cold words.

"The team has been disbanded, and it's time for me to do what I should do."

"..." Qi Xiu just looked at the other party speechlessly, but could not say anything else. Whether it was to dissuade or question, he asked himself that he was not qualified.

In the final analysis, the establishment of this team at the beginning was the arbitrary behavior of the other party. It was the other party's forcible establishment of the team to withstand pressure from all sides. She explained that this was to exercise her ability to integrate others.

However, anyone familiar with the situation will understand what a ridiculous reason this is.

In the Federation, the profession of 'idol' has a special status. No matter where you go, you will get the best treatment. If the other party has that intention, even if you go to the military, the military department will not be stingy with the command of some troops.

In addition, officers with corresponding guidance will probably be dispatched to act as the opponent's deputy, so that the opponent can grow better. After all, the 'idol' is the person destined to bear the responsibility of the federal 'commander', the center and the brain.

Especially since the other party is a descendant of the former ‘Emperor’, people naturally have more expectations for her than other idols.

The idols sometimes compete, sometimes cooperate, and shine brightly together. That is what everyone is looking forward to.

In this aspect, compared to other idols, Belusa seems a bit 'slow'. She just stays in the 'safe haven' she created and watches the scenery in the distance.

Otherwise, as a 'prince' and inheriting the golden bloodline of the Nolen family, she would not be ignored by so many people. People thought this guy was too cowardly and gave up on her.

However, Qi Xiu understood that this was not the case.

"I will inform Fait, and the same goes for Mulko. As for Yang Zizai..." the woman frowned imperceptibly, "Although I no longer have that kind of heartfelt disgust for him. , but I don’t want to get close.”

The woman's gaze looked this way, but it contained no other emotions.

"I'll leave this to you."

"...That's it." Without even saying goodbye, Belusa just glanced at the other side with a faint expression, then turned around and walked down the mountain towards the distance.

Qi Xiu stared at the back figure until the other person completely disappeared from the edge of his sight.

Suddenly, he recalled a scene. It was when the 'Prince' was still there, and he asked her about her future considerations.

["Don't worry, I have my own way. Don't underestimate me. As your captain, I will put your rights and interests first. After all, I am the princess."]

It was a bright and dazzling smile. There was no haze in that smile, and the eyes were full of confidence. Qi Xiu couldn't help but wonder, would she have thought of today's situation at that time?

He shook his head, and then said calmly: "Come out, Yang Zizai."

Yang Zizai walked out of the mountains behind him, the expression on his face looking a little stiff.

"It's really overwhelming to see this kind of scene as soon as I come back."

"Our team is over." Qi Xiu said calmly.

"I also came back after you, so naturally I heard it..." Yang Zizai looked towards the direction the woman left and sighed slightly, "This is not a bad thing, whether it is for her or for you. us."

"............" Qi Xiu listened silently.

"She already has a deep burden on her, and people's expectations for her are different from ours. After all, you see, while other idols are striding forward with the support behind them, she is still with us. The public opinion about her also caused..."

Yang Zizai's nagging look paused, and then he shook his head violently, with a trace of sadness in his eyes.

"No, actually, I'm a little regretful. I'm really sorry, Qi Xiu." Yang Zizai grinned, trying to make a relaxed expression, but he could only show sadness on his face.

Qi Xiu stared at the careless 'teammate' in front of him, and for the first time he understood his thoughts so clearly.

"We have been together since the beginning of the League. Sometimes we quarrel, sometimes we work together. In the eyes of everyone, we can go on forever, and I used to think so."

"Although Fait behaves like a bitch, he's not good at jokes. He can often get very angry when I tease him."

"Mulko may seem dull, but he is actually very smart. Except when facing Belusa, he usually acts as the glue between us."

"Although Belusa has a cold expression, she is an extremely responsible guy. Even if she hates me, she will consider me seriously. She is a very qualified, no, very qualified captain."

Yang Zizai kept talking, as if he were talking, spitting out all his feelings one after another, as if... saying goodbye.

Qi Xiu was suddenly startled. From the other party's expression, he vaguely felt something strange.

"And you, Qi Xiu." Yang Zizai looked here with a hint of gratitude and nostalgia in his eyes, "If it weren't for you and Teacher Li Mu, I would probably be finished long ago."

"If I couldn't do anything, I would have followed her long ago. It can be said that you gave me a reason to continue living."

"So, that kind of betrayal is particularly hateful."

Yang Zizai's expression turned indifferent for a moment, and dark and sticky negative emotions rolled in his eyes, which were eyes mixed with hatred and unwillingness.

"Qi Xiu, have you ever considered that if all the suffering you suffered was due to someone, would you take revenge on him?" The pair of dark eyes looked here with a hint of coldness. The sound blew across Qi Xiu's neck, making his heart tremble.

"Yes." Qi Xiu replied without hesitation without thinking about the meaning.

Yang Zizi smiled, but the smile looked extremely bitter.

"Then, what would you do if that person had given you an extremely important favor, even a favor like the gift of reincarnation?"

This time, Qi Xiu pondered briefly, but after just a moment, he came to the conclusion in his mind.

"The same goes for it. After all, these are two different things. However, I will probably try to make up for it later."

"That's a generous answer." There was a trace of ridicule and self-deprecation in Yang Zizai's smile, "Qi Xiu, I can't be as 'generous' as you, because even if I try my best, I can probably only Do the first part.”

"It's even possible that I can't even do the first part, but I will still fight for it all my life." His words were full of determination and persistence, which was a level that Qi Xiu could not reach.

Yang Zizai suddenly smiled, with the same cheerful expression as before.

"So, even if the team does not disband, I have no room to continue to participate. In this way, it will follow my wish."

The man's eyes were slightly bright, like a faint starlight suddenly emerging in the dark night.

"Qi Xiu, have you ever considered whether you are in a huge dilemma? Someone is watching you, someone is guiding you, even if it is not what you expected, a series of 'events' will follow. to."

"You can't think, because thinking is a heavy thing, and you can't stop thinking, because that will get you closer to death."

"What are you talking about?" Qi Xiu's eyes turned cold and he asked directly.

Yang Zizi laughed, it was a wild, almost crazy laugh.

"Hahahahahaha, as direct as ever, Qi Xiu, I'm asking you, have you ever considered the idea of ​​wielding a knife at your 'relatives'?!"

The movements of the 'madman' stopped instantly and stood straight on the spot like a piece of rotten wood.

"Anli, that's the great president." Yang Zizai said with a calm expression, word for word.

Qi Xiu closed his eyelids and then opened them.

"I generally know, so what?" He said softly. This conclusion was also a conclusion he had already reached, but he had not told anyone else.

"You really know..." Yang Zizai looked away, "No wonder, you have the best relationship with him among us..."

He looked into the distance, his eyes becoming firm.

"I'm leaving, Qi Xiu. See you again in the future."

His footsteps began to move forward, and he only 'threw' a word.

"Finally, let me give you a tip, be careful of that guy, and...I will definitely kill him."

The 'human form' turned into a 'edge', cutting through the sky, crushing the earth, and soaring into the distance.

"..." Qi Xiu became silent again, watching his teammates leave from a distance again.

He raised his head and looked at the still blue sky.

"I'll keep going, there's no need to stop."

Qi Xiu's eyes flashed, he focused on a certain aspect, and rushed there. First, he had to deal with some loose ends left behind.

After a while, he set foot on the land of Billions City again, and headed straight to the First Union Hospital along the familiar road.

After ringing the alarm bell at the gate, he had no intention of moving forward again, but silently waited for the visitor.

Not long after, a familiar figure came up to him. His dull face looked here, but there was a hint of joy in his eyes.

"You're back." Li Mu nodded.

"That's right, it's not long before I set off, so I thought I'd come here to hand over the situation first." Qi Xiu explained that after all, he had served as a lecturer here before, so he finally left due to personal matters, but it was necessary to take a walk. program.

Originally, he came here to avoid the chaotic situation outside. However, now that the president has returned to the throne, the federation has restored its original stability, and naturally there is no need to be here anymore.

Moreover, he also needs a certain amount of time to reconcile his body and mind and prepare for his next departure. He must also continue to communicate with the servants to improve each other's adaptability.

Suddenly, he felt a line of sight, so he looked to the other side. Not far away, a figure was staring at this side.

The current goddess Ran Xiuzhu had a calm expression and was wearing simple and elegant light blue clothes. After glancing here, she walked straight into the distance. Qi Xiu recognized that it was the location of the Great Library.

"Like you, she will leave here in the near future." Li Mu simply explained, and when he saw the other party leaving, his words immediately 'thawed out' and became smoother.

It seems that the other party existed before, so Li Mu was cautious in his words and actions, Qi Xiu thought silently.

"I will handle your program. Don't worry about such trivial matters. By the way, do you want to see the students you have taught?" Li Mu asked.

"...Forget it. I'm not qualified for my job. I ran away in the middle. They won't want to see me." Thinking of those vivid appearances in his memory, Qi Xiu actually felt that It was already a long time ago, he immediately declined.

And if he gets entangled with that little guy again, he will also find it very troublesome.

"Yeah, that's okay." Li Mu smiled inexplicably, and then agreed.

Qi Xiu glanced at the other party and shook his head secretly. It seemed that Li Mu would have to stay with those guys for a while. He hoped they wouldn't complain too much. After all, he knew that the other party's teachings could be called 'iron-blooded' .

That was an intensity that even Yang Zizai, who always liked to challenge the limits, would complain about. Thinking of this, Qi Xiu couldn't help but be startled and shook his head silently.

"It seems that they are about to usher in a period of suffering." Qi Xiu couldn't help but sigh.

"It's not welcoming, but already enduring it." Li Mu stared at Qi Xiu, and then smiled happily, "It seems that you are making good progress and have completely digested the impact of the 'alien profession'."

"In the future, your road will be smoother. Accumulate enough humanity to reach the state of 'perfection'. That is professional practice, but you must also remember that the profession itself is just a summary of our past path. "

"It is not perfect, nor is it transcendent. Your path ultimately depends on yourself. If necessary, it doesn't matter even if you abandon this path, as long as you make sure you are on the right path."

"Don't be bound by 'career', and don't be blinded by 'self'. Face the past and move forward without fear. This is the advice I give you as your teacher." Li Mu's eyes softened, and even his tone became softer. .

"...Yes, I have written it down." Qi Xiu replied solemnly.

Should we face the past... he thought in his mind.

"Now, go." Li Mu's face became stiff again, he waved his hand and walked away.

Qi Xiu was silent for a moment, then turned around and walked out of the First Union Hospital. After closing the door behind him, he suddenly had a place he wanted to go.

He walked forward, passing through various areas of the city, and paused midway. He looked at the direction of his residence, thought for a moment, and finally did not call Puyi, but continued to move forward.

He wanted to go there alone.

Walking on the road, the crowds gradually thinned out, and when he reached the edge of the city, he could only hear his own footsteps. People in the outer ring were relatively busier, and they preferred to venture outside than in the Federation mainland.

After crossing a certain limit, the sun suddenly became hot, the warm air hit the face, and noisy voices also sounded at the same moment.

The gazes around him also gathered at the same moment. He took a deep breath, a silvery color flashed in his eyes, and the strange aura on his body disappeared in an instant, and people's gaze suddenly became distracted.

"Is it an illusion?"

"There seemed to be someone there before..."

Passing through the crowd that started the discussion, Qi Xiu, who exuded an 'ordinary' aura, walked on the road and looked at the residences of 'ordinary people' beside him. This was the parallel boundary of the Federation itself.

Within the Federation, the world of ‘ordinary people’ cannot be seen.

In the lives of 'ordinary people', the Federation only exists as a political power.

Ordinary people do not desire to be strong, but pursue life from birth to death.

The Federation people pursue power and immortality.

The two balance each other. Occasionally, if a 'talented person' appears, he will be tested and sent to the federation for training. Ordinary people know this very well, but have no intention of stopping it, and just continue to live their ordinary lives.

And this 'human world' is a country built around a city of hundreds of millions. The Guard is the organization mainly responsible for maintaining order here. In the past, Qi Xiu was born here.

He continued to move forward, thanks to the efforts of generations of pioneers. This territory was extremely vast. As the federal territory increased, the outside human world would also grow. Therefore, people's material lives were also extremely rich.

In contrast, in the outside world, the status of idols is higher. If most people in the Federation evaluate it rationally, then there are a large number of fanatical fans in the outside world.

In particular, the fairy Han Shiyin is more popular than Ibel in the outside world.

Qi Xiu thought as he headed to the place in his memory.

The road exuding heat is rising, and at a glance, it seems that even the air is burning. According to its own specific four seasons, in the human world, it is midsummer here.

After a long time, Qi Xiu arrived at his destination with steady steps.

Looking at the 'barren' scene in front of him, he turned his eyes and saw that there was also this kind of withered landform nearby. It seemed that no one came to live here after that incident.

That's right, in the growing land, there are more places with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and there is no need to choose such a "dangerous place".

Qi Xiu continued to move forward, taking steps under the deserted land, looking at the only green space. He raised his head and looked at the leafy tree that had grown silently. Then, he turned around and squatted Below, in front of the line of sight are two slightly undulating pits.

Of course, it is said to be a pit, but it is actually like a 'fold' on the ground, inconspicuous at all.

"I'm back." Facing the two pits, Qi Xiu said calmly.

It was the tomb he built for his parents. Of course, there was nothing in it. It was just used as his spiritual sustenance at that time. He was full of thoughts that they were inside.

It's a simple lie like that.

"Now that I think about it, it's really been a long time, and I haven't seen you for a long time."

Qi Xiu put his legs on the ground and sat like that on the ground, staring quietly at the green willow in front of him and whispering in his mouth.

"I don't think too much about what is right, because it has nothing to do with me. However, I know what I should do, and that guy must think so too."

"Qi Xiu is a person who wants to be happy. In the distant future, he will definitely be able to join hands with you again."

A picture flashed through my memory. It was a scene that was deeply remembered and a scene that would never be forgotten.

In front of the running child, the parents died in front of him.

"I ran away just like him."

A scene emerged in his memory. It was the scene where he turned around and left, leaving behind the two servants and that guy.

Qi Xiu's eyes became sharp, he stretched out his hand and his tone became strong.

"Next time, I won't run away. I will win all the victories and achieve my demands. By then..."

His voice gradually died down, leaving no words even in the wind.

On the barren land, next to the only green space, he quietly closed his eyes.

"I will be the strongest."

He swore this.
