[The predicament of Blade Rain State was solved by the devil and Huanyue Zun together. In this incident, they failed to learn more about the inside story of the Northern Continent. The devil's keen insight gave him a certain association with the terrifying demon, but the Dawn Knight was not willing to let him discover the truth so early. They believe that Skade Marcius is a copycat of a certain Prime Emissary from the past, which is a reasonable speculation.
On the other hand, the arrival of Jago Drusus greatly accelerated the development of the story. The troops he led wiped out the phantom experimental subjects that Skade had cultivated for a long time in one night, making the mental pollution based on the environment ineffective, and Skade had no choice but to call on the imperfect demon spirits. Their battle distracted the pressure of the demon and his party, causing the Arrogant Golem to miss the erosion of Ranger Servais - that should have been the most important result in this script.
This story is not perfect and is full of regrets, big and small, but creation is always a difficult task, and creators need to have the determination to overcome difficulties. Support or disapproval, praise or denigration, the story will continue, just as the script will continue to be written. 】
Situ Yi casually added a few strokes in his notebook to conclude the story of Blade Rain State. The big script has not yet been written. This is the biggest, thickest, but also roughest story Situ Yi has ever written in his life. Even though he is as experienced as he is, he can't help but put down his writing and read some short stories written by the group members to stretch his mind.
Situ Yi raised his hand and grabbed an old notebook from the empty space. It was the notebook that Skade used to create. He glanced at Skade's script and let out a shrill laugh of pleasure. He flicked his fingers, and the Hidden Law Lord standing behind him said stiffly: "Why are my dear friends laughing?"
"I laugh at those who are afraid of demons and have little wisdom, and actors who have no plans. The key to attacking the heart is truth, and the idea is to win by surprise. The dirty fairy tale only stains the surface, and Cangdu's betrayal is an old tune. How can we use this as a spear to break through the wall? ?”
"I don't know how my best friend will attack his heart if he writes it himself."
Situ Yi clasped his hands and smiled: "If I were to write, I would start from childhood. In the past, Shigure planned to kill countless people, so we might as well show his dead siblings one by one, and then reenact the happy life of the present when he is extremely angry, so that the dead will ask how his sister can have it all to herself. Carefree. At that time, Huanyue Zun held the palm of the devil, but his hand was covered with the blood of the past, and then let the former compatriots and the rear cry to stay, why worry about not being angry, why worry about not being hurt? "
The Lord of Yinlu said dullly: "In the end, you are better at controlling people's hearts."
"What a pity! After this, the defense becomes stronger, even if it is a surprise, it is difficult to defeat it. The young actor is young and energetic after all. If he misses a hit, he will be thousands of miles away. His anger will cost your life."
"You should ask the devil to remind you that there is one less person in the troupe, so why is it ridiculous?"
Situ Yi shook his finger and said with a smile: "The troupe doesn't want to compete with popular actors, it only wants the roles he has played before."
Bai Sneaky laughed several times, looking at his best friend's dull expression, but felt a little bored again. He waved the Lord Yinlu's hand to leave and immersed himself in front of the case again. The Lord of Yinlu was silently sitting on the sofa, with no human emotion in his dull eyes.

Jingle Bell! Jingle Bell!
The telepathic weapon used for communication kept vibrating in the drawer, and the sounds were as urgent as a reminder. Klein, who was flipping through documents, found two earplugs, plugged them in one at a time, and smiled silently at his old friend. Gaius held the weapon farther away before connecting to the communication. The roar of the man on the other end was as shocking as thunder and fire, making him frown.
"Gaius Optimis, you have to give me an explanation!!"
"There is nothing to explain." Gaius said, "I noticed the abnormality and informed you in line with the obligations of the alliance. That's all."
The old man's roar reminded him of an angry lion: "Use your lies to deceive those young boys! I want to know all the inside stories, and I will not allow such despicable evil to happen in Usters again!" "
"I only have one thing to say to you." Gaius looked as usual. "Before comforting yourself with excuses such as the future and justice, first think about whether this country will be a hundred years from now."
"you--"
Gaius cut off the communication before the next round of questioning and put away the cross-shaped device. Klein was lying on the sofa carelessly, with his legs crossed. He pulled out the earplugs: "God, do you really care about Usters a hundred years from now?"
"I don't care." Gaius started handling the documents again, "But he does. Just as Booli only cares about her ridiculous dream, Jin only sees the meager profits in front of her, our allies have their own agendas, and their support for me is just Because my actions are in their best interest."
"I'm so sad that you won't even mention me."
"You'll get hurt too, what a joke."
"I'm a war hero." Klein tapped his alloy neck. "Seriously, if you really win and become president, what are you going to do?"
"To Usters? Like I promised, lead this country beyond its limits and become bigger and stronger."
Klein said in a long tone: "Wow, really?"
"What else? Turn 2 billion people into compressed biscuits and then eat them in one bite?" Gaius casually changed the wording in the document, "Not interested."
"The Wuxiang Shen seems to be very interested in this matter."
"So if the Wuxiang God wins, he will kill me after killing the sword holder. If I win, he will kill him after killing the sword holder. If the sword holder wins, we will both die together." Gaiwu Si commented, "If we can really cooperate wholeheartedly, maybe the world will still be around a hundred years from now."
"Of course, if everyone in the world gives me a hundred krits, I can become the richest man in the world." Klein sat up from the sofa, "So what are you preparing for?"
Gaius put the document into the document bag and labeled it "for use": "The verification of the basic technology is completed. After that, we can find an opportunity to make peace and see if the sword holder is willing to take the lead and give me a hundred krits." .”
Klein applauded in admiration: "Gaius, you are really a great politician, far better than me."
"Let the champion protect my robot then, lest the sword holder chop off its head in a moment of excitement."

Blade Rain State, Water Shield City Underground City.
The Cathedral of St. Bayonet was filled with joy. Father Andrew, who had returned to normal, personally presided over the Holy Communion to celebrate the restoration of the water shield. The nuns on the first floor were carrying dinner plates back and forth, distributing free bread, honey roasts and sacred to the believers. Blood of the Saint (red wine), in the small room on the second floor, travelers are eating steak burgers that are not too sacred and local specialty sparkling drinks, the latter of which has a spicy taste.
Everyone had just celebrated the complete success of this operation, and then the Dawn Knight raised his head again and raised his glass: "Let us congratulate Miss Shigure for taking power."
"Oh, thanks." Rei Shigure said, "Huh?"
"Ah?" Gongsun Ce said.
The two stared blankly at each other for several seconds, and shouted at the same time: "She has power now?!/I have power?!"
The Dawn Knight's performance was as calm as usual: "If you need further explanation, we can add prefixes such as 'trickster', 'rough', 'still to be improved' before the power, but these adjectives will not affect the power. Essence. You deserve congratulations for developing your own powers."
The uninformed lay girls on the side applauded and said congratulations. Huanyue Zun himself pointed at himself in horror: "How come I have the power if I don't?! Didn't I just develop a big move? Or did I spend two days to read it?" Made of books!”
"The Fantasy that Ends Thousand Nights has the ability to control memes related to fairy tales and fantasy. It allows you to maximize your power and influence other people's related spells." Alandia explained, "You use it Presented in a magical way, this is the most standard power."
"..."
Shigurei held the cup and froze in place. Qiluo leaned over and pinched her face, and said sadly: "Shigure Zero has lost her magic barrier."
Alandia further added: "The advantage of the Bipolar Envoy provides you with unique conveniences. The achievement of this power is inextricably linked to the 'dominance' power of Shui Jing Xian Ying Tian Ya itself. But this It also means that you have to spend a lot of time fine-tuning your powers, and you also need to learn a lot of knowledge to become a high-level world-creating magician..."
Rei Shigure raised his cup in ecstasy and jumped up and down: "I am a high-level Sokai! I am a high-level Sokai!"
"She didn't hear a word except the last two words." Qin Qianbai said.
The senior Miss Chuangjie picked up a bottle of red wine and blew it to her mouth. Gongsun Ce quickly went up to remove the bottle to prevent someone from drinking too much and going crazy. It took him a while to suppress someone's excitement, and he grabbed a bottle of beer and sat down next to the Dawn Knight.
"She is a well-deserved genius." Alandia commented.
"She is a veritable lazy egg." Gongsun Ce said, "If there is no pressure, she can stay at the early stage of her life without moving a step, but once her competitiveness and self-esteem are deflated, she will turn into a raging flame of war and push her forward. A huge leap forward.”
"Then what?"
"Lie down in a new place until the next time you are deflated and then get up again."
"Everyone has their own style." Alandia said, "For Miss Shigure, this should be the most suitable way of practice for her."
Gongsun Ce laughed a few times and raised his glass to greet the others. He saw Ranger Servais blocking Jago in a corner and asking him something aggressively. The latter raised his hands like a young man and kept explaining with a smile on his face.
He didn't bother, just watched quietly. Jago's explanation seemed to have an effect. Servais gave him a hard punch and turned around and walked away. When she saw Gongsun Ce, she immediately came over in high spirits and put her arm on his shoulders: "That's great, handsome guy! Is that magic cannon of revenge also your super power?"
"Wow, you have very vicious eyesight. You can see through Mr. Gongsun's new trick at a glance." Gongsun Ce pushed up his glasses, "It's not a superpower. I also practice impermanence."
Servais was deeply shocked: "You, a superpower, can still practice the impermanent method. What is your identity?"
"You are still talking about me, you are a ranger and you are hooking up with the red governor, what is your identity?" Gongsun Ce moved to the side, "Hey, hey, keep social distance, and I don't even look at how you are dressed now. My girlfriend is 100% Be jealous."
"What do you think about me dressing up so purely?" Servais tugged at the thin fabric at her collar. The church was short of manpower today. She got a nun's uniform and worked in the church for a long time. However, the nuns' standard clothing was obviously not enough to cover the female ranger's hot figure. The black cloth was almost attached to the surface of the body, plus the ranger The young lady disliked the fact that the long skirt was not conducive to walking, and the openings on both sides that reached the thighs made people unable to stop thinking about it.
"You're such a pure ghost, you're a walking agent that spreads evil thoughts. My girlfriend said this set is so sexy that it even looks pornographic."
"You have so many girlfriends, I don't know which one you are talking about." Servais patted him hard on the back, "Thanks to you handsome guys this time! Jago's stupid young man alone probably can't catch the villain, he has been a hero all the way. Come down and the Supreme God will protect you 100%, and I guarantee that you will never have the chance to run away in this life."
"Does the Supreme God also provide point-to-point protection services?"
"The old man must see Him." Servais said, "Otherwise, why would we believe in Him?"
The female ranger drank a drink with him and went off to fight the steakburger. Jago winked at Gongsun Ce, and they walked out of the church together, looking at the eternal neon lights and colorful night in the underground city.
"Miss Servais and you are old acquaintances. You are two years older than Principal Onowell, so your trip together was at least twenty years ago."
"It was thirty-six years ago." Jago smiled, "I had just joined the church not long ago, the super agent project had not been proposed yet, and the Conviction Gun was still at the headquarters waiting for its new owner who would arrive at an unknown time. The prosthetic body is still a new technology, the secret war has not yet begun, and there are constant frictions at the borders between the northern and southern continents. We hold high the banner of the double-headed eagle and say that we will burn all evil on the earth and bring freedom and equality to the ancient country in the south."
He sat down on the street, and a superhero movie from the end of the last century was playing on the holographic projection. A virtual flow of light flashed through Jago's eyes, like a dreamy brilliance flowing through the old man's heart, taking him back to his youth. . Gongsun Ce always subconsciously regarded Jago as a peer because of his appearance, but at this time he realized that the other person was really an old man. Young people always look at the future and worry about tomorrow. Only old people will talk about the past events in a nostalgic tone as if they were yesterday. Time not only takes away fear, but also ambition, leaving only the faded past.
"Those experiences and thoughts are all memories of my youth for me, but for Servais, they are real yesterday. She didn't realize that it was thirty-six years, but to her it might only be six years. , three years, or even a shorter 'period of time'. So she was quite surprised when she heard that I became the red governor. She fully thought that I was still the fledgling agent who was chased by gangsters and fled with her in embarrassment."
Gongsun Ce narrowed his eyes: "Does she have a time barrier?"
"I suspect that yes, she can accept new common sense and learn new knowledge, but it belongs to intelligence rather than memory. Time has not passed in her memory, so she cannot accept the reality that it does not match her memory." Jago said, "If I show up to recognize her as an old man, Servais will definitely feel ridiculous. She will not recognize me then. Her old friend is Jago Drusu Si, the young and energetic new agent, not the old man with a scratchy eyebrow and beard."
"What is the reason for your suspicion?"
"I don't know. I have guessed that she is not a human being. I even guessed that she is the Qin family of the imperial capital who became obsessed with practicing martial arts. If she has been active for a long time, there should be traces of her hidden in the lines of the history books, but my investigation Nothing was found." Jago smiled bitterly, "I tried to make her aware of the normal flow of time before, but it only made her very painful... I thought forget it, I shouldn't torture my old friend. Servais is a good old person. , she can’t do anything bad, being a ranger freely is her favorite life, and I don’t want to disturb her happiness.”
"That's right." Gongsun Ce nodded, "I will be careful not to mention this matter."
"Thank you."
Gongsun Ce returned to the church. The atmosphere of the celebration banquet was still hot. Servais was chatting with Qiluo about the recently popular clothes. They look equally young and beautiful, and their movements are filled with the beauty of youth. If there is anything that will survive the erosion of time, it is probably a lonely figure like Servais. Her bonds with others will always fade away, leaving her alone to be beautiful in the long flow of time.
Gongsun Ce suddenly felt a little melancholy, as if he had returned to the sentimental age he was four years ago. He drank a glass of sparkling wine to suppress his sorrow, and smelled a strong aroma of alcohol.
Shigurei lay on his back and said lazily: "What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"
"Mr. Gongsun, as a literary young man, I am engaged in meaningless philosophical thinking."
"If you're not happy, just go out for a walk."
There was a flash of blue light, and the two people appeared above Water Shield City.
The nightmare after the death of the terrifying demon was no longer affected, and with the help of the church's propaganda, the rain quickly returned to normal. The blue water shield was repaired this morning, and the machinery transported from the underground was rapidly undergoing reconstruction work, which reminded Gongsun Ce of the Sky Capital that was often destroyed and rebuilt during wars.
"To tell you something, I'm very concerned about something. Did that guy not say the Declaration of Impermanence at the end?"
"He is definitely not a Sokai." Rei Shigure said swornly, "He is like... how should I put it? The malignant manifestation relies on special environments and nightmare techniques to show off his power. I estimate that the nightmare is a Sokai-level Handy, otherwise I will never be defeated."
"Maybe someone left a legacy..."
Gongsun Ce was halfway through muttering when the woman grabbed his face. She said with empty eyes, "I asked you to come out to improve your mood and I didn't let you have random thoughts."
"What can you do to improve your mood by looking at the construction site?"
Rei Shigure snapped his fingers, and they returned to the underground city and arrived near Rufu Public Elementary School. Today happens to be Friday night, and parents have come to pick up their children and take them home. Many children excitedly recounted their dreams from the past two days, about beautiful huntresses fighting monsters and big robots glowing in the fog.
The two young men and women who were making a fuss in their dreams snickered and ran to "George's Treasure Chest". The big shopkeeper was busy organizing the shelves, putting the collected children's books back to the front, and placing the robot dolls in a conspicuous position on the shelves.
"I said it must be the rain!" George said happily, "Look, as soon as the rain subsided, everyone became normal immediately."
"Yes, it's all because of the heavy rain." Gongsun Ce said, "Are you writing a story?"
There is an unfinished draft of a children's book on the counter, a story about a huntress and a robot going on adventures together. The big shopkeeper quickly closed the book and showed a shy smile.
"I was discovered by you. I think it's time to keep up with the trend. Writing some stories that children like to read might make it easier to pass the draft."
"But this is a traditional state, right?" Rei Shigure looked at the "Sacred Stories" and the Holy Grail on the side, "Can this kind of new story survive?"
"It doesn't matter, fairy tales are always changing. I have three versions of "The Wizard of Oz" in the store, and Dorothy's adventures are a little different in each version." George said, "It's like a legend, Like culture, when a story is spread and people like it, it becomes a local thing. If the trend continues, maybe my son will say that hunter fairy tales are a tradition of Watershield City when he grows up."
"What an interesting, wonderful information network."
"This is the United States. Foreign products become local products if you stay there for a long time."
They bought a simplified version of "One Thousand and One Nights" (with many extreme scenes cut out for children) in a small store and walked around the underground city. The air in the city is no longer tense as before, and the faces of pedestrians are obviously relaxed. Gongsun Ce looked at all this and laughed unconsciously.
"You know, Miss Witch? I was just thinking about what can survive time."
"The elixir of life." Rei Shigure replied quickly.
"Please don't be so worldly. I think another answer is stories." Gongsun Ce said, "Stories will change with the changes of the times. Maybe Snow White will become a dark-skinned person in a few decades. A hundred years from now, people will talk about the battle of wits and courage between the cybernetic Little Red Riding Hood and the rampaging AI Big Bad Wolf. But the core of the story will always remain, and remain in people's hearts along with those precious qualities."
"Wow wow wow, you look like a young man."
"Really?" Gongsun Ce put his arm around her shoulders, "Wenqing needs the nourishment of stories. I want to hear you tell me a bedtime story."
Shigure Rei raised his eyebrows and said softly: "A long time ago, there was a gray rabbit..."
"You really mean it!"
"Hahaha!"
They returned to the church and continued to eat and drink at the celebration feast. It was already dark after the celebration, and the group decided to stay one more night to see if the situation was stable before setting off again tomorrow.
Just like that, people fell asleep. Shigurei didn't weave a dream for herself tonight. She fell into a dreamless sleep, but was awakened by a knock on the door from next door.
"?"
Rei Shigure opened the door to Unicom's dreamland, but there was no rabbit on the other side. She woke up in reality and found a big bag at the door of her room, which contained a dress as black as night, beautiful crystal-like dance shoes, and a star-shaped hairpin.
"idiot……"
She chuckled, put on new clothes for herself, left the bedroom under the moonlight, and came to the ground.
The water hedgehog above the night sky dispersed into a hazy mist, casting a thin curtain of rain onto the earth. After the new moon is the crescent moon, under the looming moonlight there is a gray-haired man wearing a formal suit, smiling and reaching out to her.
She could no longer hold back her cheerful laughter, holding his hand and jumping into his arms. The drizzle is continuous like music, and the shadows in the moonlight are separated and intertwined.
It's still raining. They danced in the rain.
