There was silence in the auditorium, and the team leader watched nervously in the background. Did that scene just screw up
Antonio took a gulp of wine, put down the jug, and began to applaud. The crisp applause echoed in the audience, and the audience seemed to wake up from some kind of dream. As if infected, more and more people joined in the applause, and at the end, the applause sounded like one, and it lasted for a long time.
In the box, Vilodis was staring at the bright red curtain, as if she wanted to see Cecil and his lover who were obscured through the curtain.
Together forever... that's a horrible joke.
Virodis 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!"
"Raise raises!"
…
Everyone laughed happily. Du Ze took back his glasses and put them on. While Xiu was going to the locker room to change, he found Enoch in a corner. Enoch made a comparison when he saw Du Ze, and said very 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 his doujinshi back.
"Where's my book?"
"I'll give it back to you tomorrow." Enoch said, "Last time, in order to lift the seal on the outside of it, I put it with my friend." He still asked a little reluctantly: "Hey~ tell me what's inside? "
Young man, if you don't die, you won't die.
Du Ze was just about to tell Enoch not to let Xiu find out when he returned the book, when he saw the thief on the opposite side widen his eyes and showed surprise. Just as Du Ze was about to turn his head, someone hugged him from behind, and a frivolous voice sounded in his ear.
"Come, let me see how beautiful someone is even more beautiful than Cecil."
Du Ze's first reaction at the time was 囧, the plot master, do you want to be so dedicated! The Star Empire plot of "Hybrid" is divided into three stages. The first stage is Enoch's apprenticeship, and the second stage is the second generation of officials to find fault: Erwen, the son of the Prime Minister of the Star Empire, is notoriously lecherous towards women. After the performance of Cecil", the second generation of the official rushed to the backstage in a hurry, and then molested the heroine who played Cecil's lover. After changing clothes, Xiu came out of the locker room to stop the second-generation official's evil deeds, so the second-generation official became angry. He looked at Xiu's badge of a junior soldier and proposed a life-and-death duel.
Du Ze said that he very much likes to watch this kind of plot where the cute protagonist pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger, but... why did the heroine become him! ? A certain stupid cute looked at the real heroine not far away, and then looked at the women's clothes that he hadn't had time to change, and was speechless.
Enoch finally reacted: "Let go of my brother!"
"What if I don't let it go?" Erwin snorted, he gave him a look, and the two guards went out to surround Enoch. Erwen put his nose on Du Ze's shoulder and took a deep breath: "Baby, you are really fragrant."
Du Ze had goosebumps all over his body.
"I am a man."
Erwin thought it was Du Ze's excuse, and he uttered obscenity. Dirty laughter: "Then take off your clothes and let me see where you are a man..."
Just as Enoch was about to bypass the guards to rescue Du Ze, he saw a green shadow passing by, hitting the brow of the playboy.
The strong impact made Erwen let go of Du Ze, and staggered back several steps. He touched his forehead with his hand, and a small protrusion appeared there. Under everyone's eyes, Xiu Han appeared with a face. He walked to Du Ze's side and stretched out his hand to smooth out the wrinkles that Erwen had made, as if wiping away disgusting dirt.
"How dare you treat me—"
Irvin's words stopped halfway through the shouting. Dead silence, dead silence, the whole space seemed to be frozen, the silver-haired elf was just quietly arranging the clothes for the black-haired young man, and he didn't even have a grim expression, but Erwen felt that he was actually dead. , he has been killed by the other party.
As if to verify Erwin's thoughts, Xiu's voice without the slightest warmth knocked the prelude to death in the dead space.
"germination."
A sharp pain came from between Erwen's brows, he clutched his forehead and screamed. Everyone watched in horror as the thin branches and green leaves grew from between Erwen's fingers, and the bright green color was so bright. It's scary.
"Grow."
Not only his forehead, but Erwin's eyes, nose, mouth, and ears all grew twigs. He rolled on the ground in pain. His sharp nails cut through the skin, and thin strips protruded from the flesh. The two guards panicked and wanted to save their master. 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 make a tragic cry. , as if a piece of flesh had been cut off. Another guard tried to capture Xiu, but when he saw Xiu's gaze, he immediately felt that if he took another step forward at this time, he would definitely die without a place to be buried.
Hearing the screams that sounded like Ling Chi, Du Ze wanted to look back, but Xiu pinned his neck and couldn't move.
"Don't look." Xiu's voice was extremely cold: "It's dirty."
When even the twigs grew out of the shoes, Ervin was almost silent, and the last two words Xiu said marked the terminator of death.
"flowering."
In an instant, the 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. He looked back and could only see small white flowers blooming brightly. Under the intertwined branches, he could barely see a pool of red liquid. Even if he didn't see the whole process, Du Ze knew the ending from other people's faces - the script was wrong, the plot god! Didn't he say that Xiu just stopped the second generation of officials from doing evil, how could he kill the second generation of officials as soon as he came up! ? Although Xiu also cannon fodder for the second generation of officials in the duel arena, but at that time a life-and-death agreement was signed, and the Prime Minister was so angry that he could not clearly attack Xiu, and now...
A certain idiot deeply felt that this was a prelude to being wanted.
Everyone watched all this dumbfounded, and Erwen's two guards were just about to leave secretly when Enoch knocked them unconscious. The leader looked at the little white flower that transformed the corpse into nourishment, and then looked at the expressionless silver-haired elf, gritted his teeth and had the door closed quickly. The people present are their own family members. If they deal with it quickly, no one will find out about it. As soon as the team leader thought so, he saw that there was a stranger on the field at some point. It was a female alchemist in a wheelchair. She was wearing a veil and gloves, covering her whole body so tightly that she couldn't see her appearance at all. On her knees, a sleeping Little Chimera.
The female alchemist said, "I am Vilordis."
After hearing the identity of the alchemist, the leader was dumbfounded. Why did the famous alchemist suddenly appear here, and it was this terrible moment. He had absolutely no idea when Vilodis came and how long she had been here.
Whether it was luck or misfortune, Vilordis ignored the blood-stained white flower 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 stammered haha: "I have no parents, only a disrespectful mentor."
"Who is your mentor?"
"Jack, King of Thieves Jack."
The reason why Enoch answered so honestly was because when he checked the information of Bi Luodis, he found that the famous female alchemist and the thief king Jack were said to be very good friends when they were young, and they had adventured a lot together. place, and finally broke up after an adventure. Enoch had never heard the King of Thieves talk about this matter. Thinking of this assignment, he was certain that his teacher was definitely doing it on purpose.
Afterwards, Virodis did react just like Enoch's guess, but what Enoch didn't expect was that Virodis' reaction was too violent. When she heard that name, Vilordis began to tremble as if she couldn't bear it: "... return the pocket watch."
Enoch was about to say something, when he heard Vilodis raise her voice sharply, almost screaming: "Give me the pocket watch!"
The little Chimera in Vilodis's arms suddenly woke up, it jumped out of the alchemist's arms, and its body swelled and grew bigger like a breath, and finally became a huge four meters tall, with the head of a lion, the body of a sheep, and the tail of a snake. Alien. Chimera stared at Enoch, saliva dripping from the corner of its mouth, falling on the stone ground with a rustling sound of corrosion.
"Predecessor, senior, have something to say, something to say-"
Chimera pounced directly, and Enoch jumped up and down to avoid its attack. I have to say that the short-haired thief has a lot of experience in escaping and dodging, and he can even hold on for several rounds under Xiu's attack. While dodging Chimera's attack, Enoch tried to communicate with Vilordis. Enoch could only choose the last resort when he found out that Virodis was completely irrational.
Chimera bit Enoch in one bite, but it was just an afterimage. The real Enoch had stuck behind Vilordis, holding the owner of the alien beast hostage.
"Offended." The thief's voice was full of bitterness. "Senior, please calm down."
Vilordis didn't have any sense of being caught, she almost muttered to herself: "Transformation, shapeshifting... Oh, 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." Vilodis's voice was calm now, but it was full of the tranquility 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 arms.
"As long as I open this bottle, everyone here will die. Do you want to try it?"
The atmosphere in the audience suddenly became solemn, and 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: "Dish, don't embarrass the junior."
A figure jumped down, it was a boy with freckles on his face, about ten years old. After Enoch saw the boy, he let go Vilodis and came to the boy's side in an instant: "Teacher!"
Almost everyone suspected that they had heard it wrong, but what happened next told them that what had just happened was not a collective hallucination.
"Stinky boy, it's so useless." The little boy looked disgusted: "Don't say you are my apprentice when you go out in the future."
"I don't care about the thief!" Enoch said indignantly, he took out the pocket watch and gave it to the boy.
No matter how hard you can't believe it, everything in front of you has already explained that the ten-year-old boy is the famous thief king Jack. Apart from the parties, 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 back to an embryo, this is him of "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 Vilodis, who had been silent since he appeared.
"Dice, long time no see."
Seeing Vilodis sitting in a wheelchair like a statue, Jack raised his pocket watch and shook it like a child who was playing pranks to attract the attention of the girl he liked, and smiled wickedly: "You ignore my words, I just smash it."
Vilaudis still didn't respond, the little boy frowned, it seemed that he was the one who was being bullied. Enoch's eyes went back and forth between the two, and finally couldn't help asking: "Teacher knows senior?"
"Don't call me senior, call me mistress." Jack said.
Enoch was shocked, everyone was shocked. The King of Thieves Jack and Vilodis used to be very famous partners in the Chaos Continent. They took risks and created many legends. However, twenty years ago, the pair suddenly broke up. As soon as he took a step, the other gradually disappeared from everyone's sight. Regarding the relationship between Jack and Vilordis, there were also rumors that they were a couple, but now it has been confirmed by the parties involved, giving the audience a sense of being involved in the legendary story.
"Ah… "
At this time, the other party gave a sneer. Vilodis finally spoke, her voice 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 was seen by the stolen king nodded reflexively, Vilodis was silent for a moment, and then she stretched out her hand and lifted her veil. When Viluodisi showed her true face, everyone realized that she was an old man with white hair.
Even though he had read all this in the novel, Du Ze was still shocked. Vilodis and Jack were indeed lovers, and on their last adventure, they went to the gnome ruins; in the gnome ruins, the two opened a building and touched the wheel of time. This is the beginning of a tragedy, and after leaving the gnome ruins, they discover that their time is not right: Vilodis is aging, and Jack is rejuvenating.
Time separated the lovers. Vierodis and Jack stood together at this time, like a pair of grandparents.
Facing everyone's unbelievable gazes, Vilordis laughed: "You guys say, 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 could make a potion of rejuvenation, would I be able to be with him
In my memory, the freckled teenager gave the pocket watch to the girl: we were born together.
"Why isn't it possible?" Jack walked up to Vilordis, and he gently placed the pocket watch on Vilordis' lap: "We are a natural couple."
Because of Jack's approach, Vierodis turned her face away subconsciously, but was gently held, and the boy opposite said earnestly, "Look, no one wants to fall in love with this little brat like me, and People are willing to pursue you, the old woman, so we can only be together."
Under Virodis' 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, Vilodis closed her eyes: "...It's ugly, it's too outrageous."
"Then don't let them see, let's go on an adventure again, this time to a place where there is no one." Jack kissed the corner of Vilodis' eyes: "Dis, stop avoiding me, we've missed too much time. ."
Vilordis just shed tears, her mouth quivered but said nothing, and Jack's smile was also stained 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 those words, and even Vilordis couldn't help but open her eyes. Du Ze looked at Xiu subconsciously, but found that Xiu seemed to be watching him from beginning to end, as if the sentence just now was addressed to him. When he saw Du Ze meet his gaze, Xiu's hand trembled, as if he wanted to reach out and touch Du Ze, but he restrained it.
- The person who likes you is obviously me, why should I care about what other people think
Accept me... Is it that hard
Du Ze seemed to be able to read this information from those green eyes, but he finally lowered his head and staggered his gaze.
—I never cared what other people thought.
Never said... don't like it.
This person was the person he cared about the most in this world. At first, he cared about it because of guilt, but after caring about it for a long time, he couldn't tell what kind of feelings he had towards Xiu.
If he wants to cultivate well, if he wants to cultivate well, he will give what he can give to him, but he will not, 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.
As Cecil's story implicitly makes clear: when time freezes for one of the parties, separation follows.
He didn't have time to freeze, but he had zero point recovery.
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 will leave sooner or later.
