The puppets' stage play

Chapter 398 Tianfang gums

Qi Xiu thought for a moment and finally shook his head.

"I do not know."

Facing those rose-red eyes, he frankly expressed his thoughts. Even if it was a guess, because he didn't know this person well, the final conclusion must be wrong.

Then, there is no need to guess.

That's what he thought.

"This can be regarded as an answer." Enod's expression was warm, and there was no big emotion on his face. He just looked here steadily, as if he was inspecting.

"And my approach is naturally..."

.................................................. .................................................. .............................................

The soft particles danced wantonly in front of the eyes, supported by the warm beam of light.

On the side near the window, on a large red bench, a young girl exuding a quiet aura was sitting quietly.

Her facial features were soft and graceful, her expression was calm, her pale yellow eyes flashed slightly like the rising sun, and there were books spread flat on her knees.

The pale white floral skirt on her body looks extremely white, and her smooth legs are put together, looking from a distance, they look like a painting.

"............" She didn't say anything, nor did she flip through the book. She just stared quietly at the empty air in front of her.

The originally bright eyes now looked a little lifeless.

The devil stared at the figure, which was 'his' daughter in name. Unlike her mother, she seemed to be a little wary of herself, but he took a step forward.

"What are you thinking about?" came an 'unfamiliar' voice. The girl's body trembled, and then she raised her head. A tall figure blocked her sight, and the somewhat cold yellow eyes were looking here.

It was her 'father', she laughed inwardly.

"I'm just meditating. It's no big deal. Does it bother you? It's really strange. You have always liked to look at me like this before."

An arc formed at the corner of her mouth, and a smile appeared on the girl's originally calm face. It was a charming smile that was more mature than her age at the moment.

The demon looked at her silently.

Boom boom boom! ! !

A fierce knock on the door sounded instantly. The girl's eyes darkened, and the smile on her face became a little stagnant. A trace of fear appeared in her eyes. Then, the fear was suppressed by her. She gritted her teeth and looked over there, her eyes filled with tears. It's determination.

"That's not suitable for you." With a gentle tap on the shoulder, the girl looked blank and watched the figure walk towards the door.

The demon opened the door.

Outside the door are some ferocious figures with violent auras on their bodies. There is deep greed in their eyes, which is a desire that is enough to burn their bodies.

A sudden realization flashed in the devil's eyes. These people are the more 'powerful' people in this world.

"If you're interested, hand it over——"

The bearded man at the head suddenly froze, ignoring the shouting "partners" behind him. He shrank his head and ran away immediately. The devil's eyes moved slightly, a "firework" exploded, and deathly silence suddenly fell. People looked at it in shock. With this scene.

Everyone knew something was wrong, and they were terrified. Some quickly planned to kneel down and beg for mercy, while others turned around and planned to run away. Some even stood there with bitter expressions on their faces. The devil remained unmoved, his gaze passed by, and fireworks bloomed. .

Then, it looked into the distance, and the figure with a big white beard turned around and ran away in confusion.

The devil recognized that he was the 'strongest' person in the world, even though he was also very weak to him.

As for the reason why these people came here, they probably heard the news about the man's death and wanted to blackmail the mother and daughter to find out the secret of the man's power. In other words, he was someone like him.

It's just that they are not as strong as it, so they die.

It closes the door.

"...Why, why do you do this? It has nothing to do with you, right?" The weak voice behind him came, with a hint of crying and pleading. It was a voice that only people with weak hearts could make.

The demon thought silently, then, it turned around and looked at the girl with moist eyes.

"We... are family." It said a little strangely.

The girl stayed for a moment, raised her hands involuntarily, and fiddled with the hair on her forehead. Her face turned to one side, and a faint blush appeared on the side of her face.

"Yes...that's it." She said softly.

The devil looked at each other, and the girl smiled with a childlike smile on her face.

In the corner of the room, the weak woman watched this scene and couldn't help but rub the corners of her eyes, but a happy smile appeared on her face.

.................................................. .................................................. .............................................

"It sounds like the teacher has no feelings for them, but now you are here."

Qi Xiu thought and looked at the other party. He looked at the still gentle expression, but felt a little confused in his heart. Yes, why, why did the demon who seemed to have "humanity" in the other party's story appear here? .

Still alone, he suddenly had an unknown premonition in his heart.

"Because, I am a devil." Enod's expression was calm, as if he was talking to others, and there was no emotion in his mouth.

.................................................. .................................................. .............................................

The devil gradually understood why the man was here.

The women imprisoned in the 'cage' and the 'men' released outside. In fact, the devil has secretly investigated that there are no other women in the outside world.

There were old people, young people, teenagers, and children outside, but there were no women.

The living being named female seems to exist only in this room.

At first, the devil was not surprised. As a strong man, no one could question his behavior even if the man appeared tough and domineering. Instead, it felt that the man seemed a bit 'stoic'.

But, in fact, the devil soon realized that the man was a more brutal and cruel person than it imagined.

He did not take over all women, but condensed the concept of women in this world to two individuals, and then, as the 'power holder', men had everything to themselves.

Those people in the outside world don't actually know what they are longing for, they just subconsciously go here. Of course, the reason they give themselves is to seek the man's powerful secrets, but... this is very dangerous.

There is something in the house that is enough to annihilate two women. It is not some kind of dangerous substance, nor is it pure power, but a method of extracting concepts.

It's a ritual, the demon thought, a method it had vaguely heard of.

It seems that by sacrificing a certain idea, one can obtain a more extraordinary improvement. However, although it seems to be an evil way to some creatures, this method is an 'efficient' method unanimously recognized by both camps.

Normally, the results of this ritual will point to the caster, but if the caster disappears, it will trigger a 'recoil' effect, with concepts colliding with each other, eventually leading to the collapse of the world.

Even if the world is saved from trouble in the end, the originally dominant race will be implicated. Even the extinction of the race is considered a better outcome.

Of course, the man who was more like a devil than a devil wouldn't care.

A man has found the secret to becoming stronger. Even if he doesn't know where he got the secret, it doesn't matter. The devil doesn't care.

If it was the original purpose, then the devil has achieved it, and it is okay even if he leaves here.

"........................" A look stared at this side.

The demon turned his head, with a gentle expression on his face that he was accustomed to, and looked at the girl with a hint of longing in her eyes.

"What's wrong, Sasha?"

Sasha was silent, with a trace of hesitation on her face.

"...Is this it?" The devil raised his hand, and a dark ink-colored mist appeared in his palm, like a tossing ball. The mist bounced up and down. Sasha was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but move away silently. sight.

"Tell me, do you want to learn?" the devil asked again, staring at the other person closely.

"...Dad once said that we are all his forbidden descendants. Sooner or later, both me and mother will completely become his things, so he rejected me."

Sasha murmured softly, the expression on her face was like wearing an illusory mask, her expression was soft, but she looked extremely fragile.

The existence of these two female gestures is like weights on both sides of the scale. The ceremony is not completed until it is completely balanced. Intervention before that is a kind of disruption to the final outcome. The man must have avoided this to the greatest extent.

The devil thought in his mind.

But it doesn't care, it thought again.

"Then, let me use my authority as a father here, Sasha, to learn."

Sasha stared here, the mask on her face faded away, and she smiled like the first gust of wind in spring.

"Yes, father."

.................................................. .................................................. .............................................

Qi Xiu looked at the demon in front of him in surprise. He became more and more confused. He couldn't help but start to think, could this guy be making up a story? No matter how he looked at it, the friendly demon in the story couldn't be this guy.

After all, this guy had just created a course showing his ‘bloodiness’ not long ago, and that scene was still unforgettable to him.

"What do you think the nature of the devil is?" Enold shook his head slightly, with a faint smile in his eyes. He didn't wait for Qi Xiu to answer before continuing.

"Is it the sharp claws, the evil power, or the prestigious reputation?"

There was a trace of ridicule in Enod's eyes, and then, as if singing, he murmured in his mouth.

"Even if you try hard, you will eventually face decline. Even if you try to change your life, you will inevitably end up on the road to death. You will be weak and unable to rely on your strength. The name of the devil is higher than the sky, but in the end, it will be nothing more than a decayed face and a withered body."

Enold's expression became serious and he looked here with solemn eyes.

"It's not scary to know that you are weak. What's scary is that even if you know it, you forcefully ignore the threat."

"Devil is not synonymous with power. Its only meaning is that it can dig out the past that is unforgettable and imprinted in the bone marrow. Even if it is dripping with blood, even if its limbs are weak, it can be used as a weapon to mock the enemy in front of you."

"This is the devil, this is the devil."

"A being who doesn't even dare to remove the so-called spiritual weakness and only dares to kneel down and beg for mercy..." Enod made a contemptuous expression, "It's just a mere 'devil'."

"............" Qi Xiu took a deep breath, but couldn't help but think of another point in his mind.

If the other party said this...does it mean that the other party really regarded the mother and daughter as their own relatives?

However, at this moment, he didn't really want to ask the answer from the other party.

"Then, that day came..." Enold looked here, but it seemed like he was seeing a distant yesterday.

.................................................. .................................................. .............................................

jingle.

An unusual-sounding bell rang in his heart. The demon's body paused slightly, his yellow eyes flashed with a trace of trance, and the movements in his hands stopped.

"........." Confused eyes looked here, with deep worry in their eyes. The girl stood uneasily not far away, her expression looking particularly uneasy.

The devil's eyes were lowered, and there was a trace of rose in the depths.

That was the rallying horn, a warning to the wanderers that the war was about to begin, and also a notice that its vacation was over. As a member of the Supreme Court, it was necessary for it to go to the war.

"Actually..." It slowly raised its head, and its figure disappeared in an instant.

The girl's expression changed slightly, and an afterimage left in place was pierced. Her rose-red eyes looked at the panting girl not far away, her sharp claws raised, and there was no emotion in her eyes.

"I am not your father." Snow-white horns appeared behind him, his rose-red eyes looked particularly indifferent, and the cold breath occupied the entire space in an instant.

"..." The girl's expression was dull, her left hand was placed on her right shoulder, and red blood flowed down, dyeing the white dress that represented purity red.

The devil shook his head in his heart. Unfortunately, he was entrusted by others to come here after all. Although it was not his original intention, since it came here, it was bound to kill the two of them to fulfill the promise it made.

"It's father... Come on, stop making trouble, okay... Okay, if it's my fault... I can admit my mistake and do whatever I want, please don't... "

The girl's eyes showed sadness, she gritted her teeth unwillingly, and a look of sadness appeared on her face.

"Your mother is upstairs." The devil simply said.

The girl's words stopped abruptly, big tears rolled down her face, her lips trembled, she assumed an extremely familiar posture, and aimed at the... demon in front of her.

Looking at the figure in front of him who was immature but still full of determination, and the eyes that still showed murderous intent even though they were sad, the demon showed a satisfied expression.

"Sakona, you have the qualifications to become a strong person." The devil smiled gently.

Shakona pursed her lips, looking at the familiar figure, familiar expressions, and familiar words, but she felt that the 'father' in front of her was so strange to her.

In the New Year, the attitude of the elders who look forward to their own growth and wish them blessings for their future

At the dinner table, she complained to her mother in a low voice that her daughter had recently become dissatisfied with her bitter middle-aged life.

On the long street, shout to the passers-by that your daughter is the most precious treasure in its life and will not be given to your parents.

Her eyes darkened, her mind was highly concentrated, and she integrated everything the other party had given her over the past few years.

In fact, she had known for a long time that this person was not that man, because the eyes he looked at his mother and herself did not have that kind of arrogance, but a level-headed attitude.

She thought that this might mean that this person had no need for the two of her, so it would be normal for it to leave here one day...

For this reason, she had been preparing, yes, even if it was just in case, even if she was full of disgust for herself, she was still prepared.

Shakona's eyes became sharp, like a thorny flower, muddying the light yellow color that originally appeared to be soft, and the cloudy eyes looked at the other party.

"You are not 'father'." She said with hatred.

That's right, this guy is not the gentle father, he is just a fake that has taken over his father's body. In order to let 'father' rest in peace, this guy must be killed, and he must do it himself.

"I will kill you." Shakona's mind went blank for a moment, and the expressionless Shakona declared.

No one else can do it, only you can do it. Unable to help it, a sly smile creeps onto your cheeks.

A deep laughter spread in his mouth, and a sinister voice like hell sounded. He looked at the other party with an almost crazy expression, with a hint of longing.

"I agree with this determination, but..." The devil shook his head.

The girl's body suddenly folded into a ball, her arms twisted backwards, her eyes almost bulged out, and deep bloodshot eyes occupied her entire eyes.

"Ah...cough..." An unconscious howl sounded in her mouth, and the girl's weak body slumped to the ground.

The devil looked down at that figure with extremely cold eyes.

"You are too weak, you."

The five internal organs were damaged, the legs were split, the arms were reversed, and the blood that was originally on the inside of the body was spreading to the outside. There was blood flowing out of the eyes, ears, mouth, and nose. Even if it was left alone, he would die soon.

"Hehehehe..."

But those turbid eyes that were still too bright were still looking here, with madness in them.

The devil took a step forward, intending to end the other person's life.

puff.

A soft body hugged him tightly, like a lover's embrace, extremely weak and weak. However, the devil stopped.

"Get out of here, Sasha."

A gentle voice sounded behind her. In the next moment, the girl's body returned to its original state. She gritted her teeth and looked around. Finally, she rushed out of the door and left without looking back.

The devil just watched the other party leave from a distance, but did not take action to stop him.

"Sure enough, even you have your heart."

"..." The devil sighed slightly, turned his palm in the air, and stabbed straight to the back. He only heard a muffled groan, and the warmth behind him gradually left.

Plop, it stood quietly on the spot, motionless.

a long time.

It turned around and looked at the figure lying on the ground, its apricot eyes had lost their brightness.

"I am a devil." It whispered to itself like a whisper.

"I will leave here and hope that everything that happens here will be as you wish."

It raised its head, the houses around it gradually became shallower, and the pure color of the sky was reflected in the depths of its eyes. Faintly, it no longer felt those extremely intense gazes.

Maybe, those beings have turned away their sights, maybe, it is no longer able to perceive those magnificent beings, but in any case, this place has nothing to do with it.

The devil took steps forward, his figure gradually fading in the air.

You will never understand, Sasha, why I, as a devil, appear here.

Even if this is just an insignificant little world, even if this is a treasure room that the man regards as his own, this is where it belongs after all.

The devil knows very well that things like stance are indeed important, but in some aspects, they are unimportant.

If the only great existence that can be praised by the world can be born, then all 'compromises' are necessary. No matter which camp you are in, they all hold the same attitude in this regard.

As a father and a devil, it prayed sincerely, Sasha, to become stronger, to become stronger than me, and then, come and kill me.

What a pleasure that would be, the devil smiled.

.................................................. .................................................. .............................................

"As a trustee, a father, and a devil, I have three positions. Out of the responsibility of the trustee, I will kill two people to fulfill my promise. But as a father, and the devil's expectations for the opponent, I instead expect the other party. growth."

"The more you hone yourself, the more you discover your own path. This is the true smooth path."

Enod's expression was normal, as if he was saying something natural.

Qi Xiu shook his head slowly but firmly, looking at the other person with resistance in his eyes. The thought that was completely different from that of human beings made him feel cold. At the same time, he was also sure that he would never become like the other person.

"You still don't understand." Ennuo looked at Qi Xiu's refusal and laughed instead, but his rose-red eyes looked extremely cold.

"Then, I'll let you see some 'reality' in advance."

Click, a shattering sound exploded in the ear cavity instantly.

Qi Xiu's vision went dark, but the thick fog in front of him gradually faded away, so he saw...
