“Keep your vision narrow, stay focused.”

"We should have arrived fifteen minutes ago." Willy Xiao turned his head and raised his head to declare seriously. He was riding on the ridge of a huge book, and a white glove three times larger than the book was trailing directly behind the book. It was swollen by the wind, like a pulled sail, and the book was Like a spaceship driven by a glove—
It's just a look. It's basically impossible to tell where the power of this vehicle comes from. Next to Willy Xiao on the top of the book, there is a square box full of buttons and a seal with a dentine handle - its surface is firmly fastened to a gilt letter on the top of the book, Willy Xiao. Xiao therefore had no idea what was engraved underneath.
But he didn't want to know.
The square box and the seal spoke to him frequently at first, and even the giant book itself and the glove greeted him, but he ignored them. Whether it is a warm greeting, a new friend showing goodwill, a sudden appearance at an extremely coincidental location, a vehicle with the aura of mysterious legends, or an unconventional power source for the vehicle - in normal times, he would definitely You have to be amazed, then stick to the faces of these guys and ask them all about their origins and personalities, and help them compile the reasons for their existence and arrival, their destinations and the missions to be completed——
Even at this time, he had probably recorded these precious anecdotes as materials for Wei Xing Weekly and the biography of Zhayint. After all, Zhayint had been absent recently, and making up things out of thin air definitely required inspiration. The more the merrier…
But now he had no idea of any of it. Not at all. He pressed the small jar containing the residue of 300 amplitude to his chest, and stars appeared in front of his anxious eyes.
"We should have been there fifteen minutes ago. The funeral started fifteen minutes ago." He walked back and forth on the ridge of books, restlessly.
】
He is late. Irrevocably. At least fifteen minutes late. Anyone who missed fifteen minutes of his carefully prepared funeral could almost be said to have missed the entire universe.
And this is all -
The pages of the giant book tremble:
"But you've only been here for ten minutes." It made a clear voice that was inconsistent with its size. The tooth handle seal also crossed its hips:
"Why are you so anxious? If we hadn't picked you up, you would have been torn into pieces in the Sixteen Branches Path!" It reprimanded in a sharp voice, and slapped the arcane scholar on the thinner part of his spine. , making a loud noise, “Sit down!
Not polite at all!
If you keep moaning, get out of here!
"
——His fault.
Willy Xiao grinned and sat down, moving his butt uneasily.
It's annoying, they're right. he thought irritably. It was originally just a small episode where he could go and come back quickly, but he had bad luck at this critical moment.
A swarm of clichéd frog shamans intercepted him in a demiplane, unleashing a torrent of curses on that demiplane. He had known that he would have wasted too much time there with them, not to mention meeting a group of regular believers in the void realm later.
That's the real crisis. His head was almost in their esophagus.
At the critical moment, these guys in front of him passed by and rescued him.
"Don't worry."
A square box full of buttons came up from behind him, and the pleasant clicking sound made people feel relieved. "We are driving at full speed. We will definitely get you to where you want to go."
"……good."
Willy Xiao took one look at it and breathed a sigh of relief, "I will be polite, and I will definitely be very obedient." He embarrassedly picked at the hole in his knee, thought about it, lowered his voice and moved towards the square box. :
"Can you make them faster? This is important to me."
"Young man, the speed is very fast now." Fang Hezi said kindly.
"Faster."
"It's hard to go any faster."
"Impossible!" Willy Xiao shouted, "The current speed is four magnetic rows per second, how long will it last!"
The square box didn't answer, but quietly transformed into a chain crossbow that shone with golden light. The buttons turned into bullet shapes and rested on the strings.
The front end of the crossbow pointed at Willy Xiao's head.
Willy Shaw raised his hands.
"I was wrong. Brothers and sisters. I was wrong. Okay. Okay. I'll just wait."
"That's right."
The crossbow turned back into a square box, and the buttons jumped back into grooves one by one.
Willy Xiao let out a long sigh and lay down to one side.
He lay there for a while.
Maybe not for a while. Because it was too painful.
The wind blew through the sail-like white gloves, whining.
It took Willy Shaw a moment to realize that it wasn't the wind. Rather it is speaking.
"Why are you there, getting beaten?" White Glove's voice was low.
"Not sure."
Willie Shaw was listless.
"You don't know why you were beaten?" Bai Glove continued to ask slowly.
"uh-huh."
"You're not." The white gloves made a hollow sound, "You are. Are you very powerful?"
Willy Xiao sat up abruptly, staring at it with his mouth hanging open.
"Okay. Answer again: I know." He wiped his face vigorously and said, "I was beaten because someone wanted to beat me. I was killed because someone wanted to kill me. As for why they wanted to beat me, I, I don’t know.”
"You. Didn't you think about the reason?"
"That's what they have to worry about. What does it have to do with me?" Willy Xiao answered loudly.
"Oh," White Glove said.
"Oh," said the giant book.
"Oh." Tooth Seal said in surprise.
"Hmm." said the square box with many buttons.
Willy Xiao looked at them suspiciously: "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing." Fangzizi replied in a more pleasant tone, "It seems we did the right thing by saving you."
Willie Shaw had no mind to think. But since they said this, they should be willing to use all their strength to send him to the funeral with an amplitude of 300 at the end of the world. This is what he needs most right now.
It was now seventeen minutes after the funeral. He didn't dare to think about what happened in these carefully choreographed seventeen minutes.
He waited and listened to the chat between the square box, the seal, the big glove, and the giant book. I listened to almost everything, but didn't think about a word.
At seventy minutes, the giant book stopped at the top of a fog, with white gloves floating in the air.
"arrive?"
Willy Shaw got up. He was weak from waiting.
"We're here." Square Box said as he came to his side.
Willy Xiao held the small jar tightly and looked down.
He craned his neck, but saw only mist billowing.
"Aren't you in a hurry! Get out of here!"
The tooth handle seal flew up and kicked him on the back, knocking him off the ridge of the giant book.
