"Bai Xi, do you know? I have witnessed many miracles in my life. I have seen saints degenerate into devils, and I have also seen devils obtain salvation in heaven. It is all simple, because of love and hate They are all sudden things. But when none of these things can change a person, is there anything else in the world that can hinder him? Is it the starry sky above his head? Or is it the morality in his heart? Or is it the most intolerable thing for human beings? Rebellious death? I have only seen one such monster, and it already made me despair of my efforts. He was the second person who made me doubt myself. Fortunately, when I knew his identity By then, I was already mentally prepared for this.”
He looked at Bai Xi and sighed softly: "Didn't you personally understand his abnormality? When he was hunted by the entire city, his tolerance was ridiculed, and his kindness was trampled on, he never He has never changed any of his thoughts, nor given up on any of the principles he believes in. Even when he took revenge on those garbage, he still adhered to the principles in his heart, and just returned the original fear he had suffered... He even I never thought there was a simpler way in the world. Just get rid of all the garbage there!"
"That only shows that he is a good person!"
Hearing Bai Xi's rebuttal, Hermes was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter, as if he had heard a perfect joke, so he was overjoyed.
"Good guy? Don't be ridiculous, Bai Xi, he was born to be a black musician! Since he is a good guy, why can he learn something like "Black Friday"? Its level of craziness is rare even in dark music. .The music has a soul, Bai Xi. The spirituality contained in it will select the most suitable master for itself. It chose Ye Qingxuan, which proves that he has a dark instinct that even he cannot detect! Don't you see? Is it there? His terrifying aura when he 'sows fear', his smooth skills and arrangements... It's like art! For him, killing is simply an easy thing."
He stared at Bai Xi and said word by word:
"The reason why he didn't kill was not because he was kind or kind, he just simply... looked down on them. He just felt that these things were not worth changing. When he found that the world was contrary to his own ideas, he did not change. He wants to change the world into what he knows... He is such a monster!"
Bai Xi remained silent, speechless.
In the long silence, Hermes picked up the tea cup and drank the red wine in the cup gracefully and calmly.
"I'm sorry, I said such unpleasant words, just pretend you haven't heard them and forget them."
He gently advised: "After you go back, study hard, stop messing around with him, and stay in your own shelter peacefully. The Lower City is already a playground for monsters, and it's not for you to get angry as a child. Place. If you are not willing to let go, sooner or later you will die because of him and die in pain... "
"Hermes!"
A girl's voice interrupted him.
Bai Xi stared at him, her pupils were dark, like a vast darkness. There were thunderclouds trembling in the darkness, with a fury that would burn people to ashes.
As if giving a final warning, she said word by word:
"—You can shut up."
"Okay, okay."
Hermes smiled helplessly and raised his hands in surrender.
Bai Xi silently withdrew his gaze, continued to read the music in his hand, and returned to his original appearance.
It's like nothing happened.
…
During this long afternoon, she occasionally raised her head to ask some questions she encountered while thinking, and Hermes answered her in detail, just like an extremely conscientious teacher, explaining the essence of the music score in simple words.
Until finally, when the sun was about to set in the sky, in the last remaining light, Bai Xi stuffed the piece of music that Hermes had given him into his backpack. When his fingers touched something cold, he hesitated.
She looked up and asked, "You are a very powerful alchemist, right?"
"More than awesome."
Hermes pointed at himself: "You should say: There is no one before and there will be no one after."
Bai Xi placed something on the table:
"Help me change this."
On the table, a military crossbow with its serial number removed reflected the afterglow of the setting sun. The silent weapon was extremely quiet at the moment.
Hermes was stunned for a moment, then looked at Bai Xi, his subtle eyes seemed to understand something, and he smiled pitifully:
"Okay, my monster princess."
He picked up the hand crossbow and walked to his workshop.
Where Bai Xi couldn't see it, his eyes turned pitiful and tolerant, like looking at a stubborn child trying to fish out the moon from a well.
—But even if you get your hands dirty, how long can you play this game with him
…
…
Although in the end, under Charles's offensive of crying, making trouble, and hanging himself, he finally escaped the terrible punishment of wearing women's clothing, but Ye Qingxuan has already obtained a lot of blackmail in his hands through this thing, and he will definitely be with him in the future. Brother bitch will also be able to communicate more smoothly.
After all, in order not to wear women's clothing, Charles has promised to be a sparring partner anytime, anywhere, and will only be beaten without fighting back, so as to improve Ye Qingxuan's proficiency in music scores.
With a bitch senior brother who can interpret music scores by instinct alone, he must be able to quickly make up for his last shortcomings in experience.
At that time, after digesting the remaining rune stones, he will be able to recreate the terrifying record of reaching the rhythm level within a month.
Of course, compared to a pervert like Charles, who claimed to have taken a month, but actually only used it for two days, this kind of record is nothing, but at least it sounds beautiful!
Maybe we can get another budget from those bastards on the school committee!
Late at night, in the basement, Charles, who had been beaten unilaterally, squatted in the corner in ragged clothes and cried. Ye Qingxuan, who had basically mastered "Bolero", opened the door refreshed and looked back at Charles. It was so miserable that I couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh three times.
You have today too!
He hummed a tune and walked happily to the bedroom upstairs, where there were still a lot of rune stones waiting for him to resonate.
Just when he was passing by the living room, he turned around and noticed the girl sitting alone on the sofa.
As if she finally came back from playing outside, she curled up on the sofa after taking a shower, holding her chin and looking at the night outside the door, thinking about something intently.
In the night, the moonlight fell on the steps, leaving a patch of silvery white, like her long hair.
It's not like her to be quiet anymore.
Ye Qingxuan was stunned for a moment and asked in a low voice: "Bai Xi?"
Bai Xi finally came back to his senses, looked back at Ye Qingxuan for a long time, then lowered his head, feeling a little unhappy:
"Cousin, you haven't slept yet."
"What's wrong with you?"
Ye Qingxuan reached out and touched her forehead: "Do you have a fever?"
Bai Xi slapped his hand away angrily and rolled his eyes at him: "You're the one who's sick."
"Then what's wrong with you? You're so serious and deep, I feel like I've recognized the wrong person."
"I'm thinking."
Bai Xi said angrily: "Think."
“…”
Ye Qingxuan was speechless for a while. He didn't know what kind of expression to show at this time. He just wanted to say: Cousin, you just need to play around carelessly. "Thinking" is really not suitable for you.
But if he says it, he will definitely be beaten up by Bai Xi, and he won't be able to fight back.
forget it…
"Ahem, what are you thinking about?" Ye Qingxuan tried his best to act like a close brother, and approached with a grin: "Why don't you tell me, and my cousin can help you refer to it?"
"...Cousin, you laugh so disgustingly." Bai Xi moved back a little with disgust.
The corner of Ye Qingxuan's mouth twitched, and he didn't know what to say.
Bai Xi sat next to him, holding his chin and continuing to be in a daze, falling into silence.
In the silence, there was only the sound of summer insects chirping outside the window. The moonlight came in through the window and shone on the girl's hair. It was difficult to tell where the moonlight was and where her hair was.
He stared in silence for a long time and looked away.
"cousin."
"Um?"
"Being chased is actually something worth getting angry about, right?" Bai Xi suddenly asked softly.
"yes."
"So, are you angry too?"
Ye Qingxuan thought for a while and nodded: "Yes, I am very angry."
"But..." Bai Xi hesitated and muttered in a low voice: "Why didn't you kill those guys in the cemetery and in Manna City?"
“…”
Ye Qingxuan was startled and a little confused: "Are you struggling with this?"
"Yeah, no?" Bai Xi's eyes became dangerous.
"Okay, okay, of course!" Ye Qingxuan raised his hands and begged for mercy, feeling helpless: "I can't control what you think."
"Then why don't you kill those guys?"
Bai Xi came closer and looked at him with blinking eyes, as if to see clearly all his disguises and lies.
Those eyes were so close, and the clear eyes were full of concentration. Ye Qingxuan couldn't help but lean back a little, feeling a little nervous.
Bai Xi held his chin and looked at him, murmuring in a low voice: "Do you have any difficulties that you can't tell? Or is there some shadow in your childhood? Or is it some kind of oath? Or is it the influence of other people?"
“…”
Ye Qingxuan was speechless for a while and shook his head helplessly: "Why is it so complicated? You think too much."
He reached out and rubbed her hair vigorously. Seeing her angry look, he laughed: "You just want to ask me this?"
"Yeah." Bai Xi looked away and murmured in a low voice: "You don't have to say anything anyway, just pretend I didn't ask."
"There is nothing unspeakable about this kind of thing."
Ye Qingxuan was lying on the sofa, staring at the moonlight outside the window, and his expression became gentle: "Because I promised my mother that I would be a good person."
"oh… "
Bai Xi was stunned for a long time, and finally nodded in understanding.
Although she didn't quite understand it, she didn't know why, but she suddenly became happy and didn't worry about anything anymore.
Perhaps she was too tired to curl up in a ball, so she lay down on the sofa, stretched out her body, stepped on the arm of the sofa, her little toes spread and closed, as if she was playing some game attentively.
Her hair spread over the young man's body, like moonlight, covering Ye Qingxuan.
"Your mother... what kind of person is she?"
Bai Xi asked suddenly, quietly raising his eyes and looking at the young man's profile.
Ye Qingxuan was silent for a moment and said softly: "He is a very kind and gentle person, but he has no choice."
"Yeah, just like my mother."
Bai Xi nodded in agreement: "What about your father?"
"A bastard."
Hearing Ye Qingxuan's unhesitating evaluation, Bai Xi also laughed: "Well, it's the same as my dad."
"Yes, we are all the same, what's the difference between who is different from whom?"
Ye Qingxuan murmured softly and stood up slowly: "Go to bed quickly, it's getting late."
He stepped onto the stairs and walked towards his bedroom, but Bai Xi's voice came from behind.
"cousin!"
"Huh?" He turned around.
Bai Xi sat cross-legged on the sofa, looked up at him, and asked seriously: "You will take me with you when you go out to play in the future, right?"
Ye Qingxuan thought for a while and smiled.
"Well, I will definitely take you with me."
The girl became happy and elated. She jumped up from the sofa, grabbed her slippers, and trotted back to the room.
In the renewed silence, Ye Qingxuan glanced at the moonlight outside the window.
The moonlight is gentle.
