There was a hustle and bustle all night, and at dawn, the wave of enthusiasm that stirred up the sky due to the reappearance of Shuiqin's trace gradually cooled down. Mercenaries, adventurers, civilians and outpost spies of major forces were ambushing various teleportation formations on the mainland. They left one after another. Disappointment, disappointment, envy, jealousy, unwillingness, unwillingness to die, doubts, regrets, and all kinds of emotions spread among all the people who were waiting for something but met with misfortune. 【Read the latest chapter】
"Let's go, let's go, that carrier isn't coming out of here."
"I don't know where I got such good luck. I found the carrier of Shuiqin."
"It's really cheap. I don't know where the kid is. Why doesn't he come out to our teleportation array?"
"It's already this time, there's definitely no hope. Why don't we go to the trade union to get some information. If we wait a little longer, we should have some results."
"Hurry up and report to the superiors. There is no news here."
"Retreat, contact other places, and see what the result is."
Amidst the messy footsteps in twos and threes, a discordant and abrupt childish voice emerged. "Why is it that the carrier everyone knows won't come out of here?"
Everyone was stunned and looked at him with disdainful eyes as if they were looking at country bumpkins. When they found out that it was a 3-year-old boy, they looked away with some understanding and continued to walk on their own. The boy was coldly treated and looked a little aggrieved. He had a flat mouth and wanted to ask, but was given a shudder by a middle-aged man next to him.
"I told you to study hard but you didn't listen. You are so old and you don't even know this bit of common sense. You are still embarrassed in public. Listen carefully. No one can stay in the cracks of space for more than ten hours, not even the Space Dharma Saint. No way, it will be torn into pieces by the laws of space. It has been more than ten hours now, so the carrier has either died in the cracks of space, or gone out from other teleportation arrays. Do you understand, stinky Boy!"
"What if that person is the God of Dharma? The God of Dharma might be able to stay for more than ten hours!" The child's pride made the boy retort unconvinced, but he was met with another slap in the face from the man, as big as a cattail leaf fan. He slapped his hand directly on his head.
"You little brat, you're still talking back. I don't know if the Dharma God can do it, but the Dharma God has never appeared again since the end of the mythical age. It's been five or six thousand years. Besides, if that person is really The God of Dharma, even without the divine weapon Shui Qin, can single-handedly wipe out the entire continent, and still have to hide and hide? If you ask such a ridiculous question without common sense again, let’s see if I don’t break your legs!”
"Dad, Daddy, stop fighting. I was wrong. I will definitely study hard in the future." The boy shouted, holding his head in grievance, avoiding the man's palm-leaf slap.
Everyone burst into laughter, and the episode was over. Scenes like this were being staged in various teleportation formations in Alfaris. Perhaps all that was missing was a little boy who didn't understand anything.
In the secret trial realm of Xisaros, in a wilderness, within the undulating water barrier, Hai Lanwei also opened her eyes, her deep blue and clear eyes full of doubts, and whispered to herself softly.
"Why can't you feel it? Could it be that Shuiqin has been sealed again?"
Hai Lanwei's long eyelashes were slightly lowered, and the light of thought flashed in her beautiful eyes. After pondering for a moment, she stood up, took out a scroll, and opened it without hesitation. This is the transfer that Xissaros sends to every new student. The scroll allows new students to quickly leave and return to the Hisaros Trial Square when their lives are in mortal danger. Of course, this also means the end of this student's trial.
The white light lit up and disappeared. Helanwei's figure reappeared in the trial square of Hisaros. Her withdrawal surprised all the instructors. The water instructor Jiana was even more surprised and disappointed. Lan Wei's performance in the secret realm has always been in the first echelon of leaders, but the fact has been done, and in the end, she can only watch her leave quickly with pity.
Hailanwei applied to leave the school without any delay, and summoned her subordinates who had been waiting in the satellite town of Ienlia to investigate the incoming and outgoing information of all the space transmission arrays on the mainland. Watching her subordinates leave, Hailanwei turned around and headed towards Go to the place where you first sensed the fluctuation of water.
Suddenly, a gust of breeze blew past her, bringing cool water vapor. She paused slightly and looked up at the sky. The sun was hanging brightly high, but there was a wind coming from the sea, mixed with soft mist like silk. rain.
Hailanwei stretched out her hand, feeling the moist water vapor. Looking back, she saw that it was the direction of the sea and the direction of Hisaros: "My lord, is it your guide? Could it be?" Hailanwei frowned and thought for a moment, Then he shook his head hesitantly. "It's just a coincidence."
Turning her head, she took two steps, then paused slightly and murmured softly. "Is a storm coming?" But I don't know whether he is referring to the weather or the turbulent situation on the mainland.
The wind continued to blow, blowing through every corner of Hisaros, and also blew into a room with floating lace curtains, but it did not stir up a single wave. The source of all the commotion, like the center of the storm, remained It was quiet, and the bright sun and rain flew in unyieldingly, falling on the cheek of the girl An Lan was lying on the bed, leaving a slightly wet trace, which seemed to alarm the girl who was confined to confusion and contemplation.
The girl's eyelashes fluttered, her eyes moved slightly, she raised her hand, and opened the curtains somewhat sadly. When she saw the bright sun but drizzle outside, an ancient poem that she had not thought of for a long time came to her mind unexpectedly. rise.
"The sun rises in the east and rains in the west. Is it clear that there is sunshine even though there is no sunshine?" She seemed to be chanting carelessly. After finishing her words, Cellululu suddenly felt a little startled and murmured. "Or is Tao ruthless but affectionate?"
She had actually been awake for a while, but she was unwilling to get up because her mind was blocked. She tossed and turned last night and couldn't sleep. She was embarrassed, embarrassed, happy, angry, excited, wronged, proud, comfortable, and afraid. Many emotions were tumbling in her heart until she fell asleep from exhaustion. Afterwards, I was still entangled in the dream, but it was a night of ups and downs, nightmares, confusion, hesitation, struggle and pain, helplessness and futile melancholy, unable to let go. The lingering negative feelings were like an inescapable shadow, always clinging to Cellululu. Her heart dragged her into the dark and hopeless abyss.
At the end of the long night, she woke up with tears on her face and cold hands and feet. She sat in the darkness until dawn. It wasn't until the sky was dim and the first ray of sunlight penetrated the gauze curtain and shot into her pupils that she suddenly felt that it was time for her to wake up. Just like Huang Liang's dream or Zhuang Zhou's dream of butterfly, she completely woke up from a dreamlike memory and state of mind.
Like the flowers that were in full bloom and suddenly withered, like the sun shining brightly but being on the cold river for thousands of years, it seemed that a thousand years of time had passed by in an instant, and those experiences and feelings that should have been extremely vivid and profound when I lost my memory, the girl's poetic and gorgeous Love, hope and expectation, the passion and pounding of the heart, are like yellowing old photos, weathered and faded overnight, blurred and gloomy, leaving her with all kinds of thoughts and words, but they can only quietly settle in From the bottom of my heart.
Just for that sentence - helplessly the flowers fall away!
Celluloid's hands unconsciously grasped the sheets tightly. After a long time, she relaxed. She twitched the corners of her mouth and said,
Since it can only end with that sentence in the end, why not let everything go back to the starting point. Anyway, she and them should be parallel lines that do not intersect, right?
Cellululu tried hard to smile, to relax, but the expression on her face was stiff and ugly. She didn't know whether she was laughing or crying, completely relieved or struggling in pain.
After sitting quietly for a long time, Cellululu got up and got out of bed, went into the bathroom, took care of herself, then raised her head and looked at herself in the mirror. She still had a childish and green face with no smile, which was completely inappropriate. The indifference of her age shows a hint of fatigue between her brows, which is a kind of weariness and loneliness that arises from the depths of her heart after many vicissitudes of life. Her eyes are waveless, deserted and dead, with a look of sorrow that cannot be greater than the heart. Dead look.
Cellululu tugged at her face and muttered to herself, "This is too bad. She's like a walking zombie. She doesn't even look like an ordinary teenage girl." She tried her best to adjust the expression on her face, remembering When she lost her memory, she really looked like a teenage girl. She tried several times, but it was all in vain. No matter how fake it seemed, she felt a little disappointed and lost. What she couldn't get back was that she couldn't get back. That kind of state of mind was already alienated. It's been a thousand years.
Fortunately, over the years, she has naturally developed a set of standard expressions to deal with the world. She is completely familiar with what ordinary people should look like. Her eyebrows slowly stretch out, and she looks gentle without being angular, and her eyes are clear. Peaceful, but neither naive and simple who does not understand the world, nor detached and indifferent who is sophisticated and insightful of everything. There is always a smile on the corner of the mouth, but there is no feeling of enthusiasm or warmth, just a person who does not make people feel too distant. But it doesn’t lose its reserved and reserved smile. This is celluloid before amnesia. It won’t be disgusted or repelled by others, nor will it attract attention. It is easily forgotten, just like all ordinary living beings.
Cellululu smiled slightly in the mirror. The familiar expressions and movements brought her long-lost sense of control over herself back to her heart. It also made her feel that controlling her emotions was no longer so difficult. After all, she had already done the things of self-suppression and forbearance. After thousands of years, I have escaped from my experience. It is even easier to turn a blind eye to my own heart. Duplicity is no longer a day or two. Thoughts and actions can be two different things, right?
After thinking about it, Cellululu finally had the mind to think about something practical, Shuiqin's, and the mission. She was not afraid of being traced out about what happened yesterday. As for the mission, although it was a bit more difficult, there were still some loopholes that could be exploited. Yes, but the first thing is to gather people first. Although it seems that the only people who can be gathered now are Xia Ke, Feitan and himself. The remaining three are all in the secret realm trial. If they have not been eliminated, one Months later, they would have a chance to get together again. The last one was far away from the Holy See. Cellululu thought that maybe she should take a trip to bring Hisoka back. Anyway, she was about to be excluded from space. Touching the bracelet that had also been treated by Mayside and looked like an ordinary gray cloth wristband, the space rejection rate on it was close to 99%.
Going out to find the knight, her eyes passed by the door of Hai Lanwei's room opposite. Cellululu suddenly paused, recalling the hallucination when they first met. Jin Ruo had a vague hint later, and she suddenly realized that he was actually a water priest? It seems that she will have to avoid Helanwei from now on.
After knocking on the door for a long time, the knight was not at home. Cellululu thought for a moment and roughly knew where he would go. She was not in a hurry. She went to the trial square first and checked the trial progress of everyone on the big screen. The previous day The top 100 students will be ranked and their names and departments will be announced. Cellululu paid attention and unexpectedly discovered the names of Jin, Chrollo and Illumi. Jin had the best score, ranked eighth. Chrollo probably fluctuates between thirteen and fourteen, because Aslan and Chrollo are always competing for ranking, going up and down sometimes, but judging from the black dots representing them on the big map, Celluloid is more I believe that Aslan is pestering Chrollo, because one point always moves at a constant speed and in an orderly manner. Although the trajectory of the movement is more complicated, the other one jumps out a lot. It moves around this point for a while, before, after, and after a while. Side by side, Illumi's ranking is nineteen. Although the rankings of the three of them are not bad, and they are all in the first echelon of the top 20, Cellululu feels that they should all hold back. With their sinister characters, they will never go all out from the beginning. , probably because the trial has just begun, otherwise Chrollo would have dealt with Aslan long ago, how could he tolerate him jumping around like this?
After looking at the three of them, Celluloid looked at the others. Apart from Chrollo, only Nastin made it into the top 100 in the space department, ranking ninety-sixth. With this strength, it is no wonder that the space department is said to be weak. Lu, a strong competitor for the bottom king, but she was a little surprised when she didn't find Hailanwei's name, but thinking that she was a high-ranking priest, maybe even the saint of the Water Temple, it didn't matter that she deliberately hid her strength. Definitely, after recovering her memory, her vision and the feeling from Shui Qin told her that Hailanwei's strength should be just a hair away from the saint level, stronger than the head of the water department, Jiana, so a person like this would enroll in Thessaros. , there is no doubt what purpose she has, and being in the limelight will definitely not be her choice. Unfortunately, the Shui Qin Cellululu she is looking for is absolutely impossible to return to her, because Hailanwei was not chosen by Shui Qin. Master, her own strength is not enough to suppress everyone. The last Water Saint died in battle because of her failure to protect the treasure. Otherwise, Cellululu would not mind handing over this hot potato.
After leaving the trial square, Cellululu went to the main square of the college, where all the professional unions are. If not surprising, the knights are here. Shuiqin was exposed yesterday. It would be strange if he didn't come to inquire about the news today. Cellululu She went straight to the mercenary union, where the possibility was greatest. After walking around and hearing a few bits of news, she found herself in the crowd at the bar attached to the mercenary union. She felt at home like a fish in water and seemed to be chatting with others. Cellululu did not lean towards the cheerful knight. After she was sure that the knight had seen her, she turned and left.
It didn't take long for the knight to catch up with her, walking side by side on the long walk. There were students passing by them in twos and threes. The two of them had a tacit understanding and did not mention Shuiqin. Cellululu spoke first.
"Let's go find Feitan now."
"Do you know where he is?" The knight asked in surprise, as if he suddenly remembered something. "Wait, it seems that when you lost your memory, you mentioned Feitan's name. Where did you mention it?" The knight frowned and dug up his memory. Because there was no interaction, Cellululu only mentioned it once or twice. , and they were all mentioned in passing, not specifically to talk about Feitan. Just like when she talked about Illumi, she passed by it. If she didn't care, she would easily forget it. Therefore, the knight also thought about it. It only occurred to him later, and he was still a little hesitant, because the few words he heard from Cellululu and Feitan were completely different people, he confirmed with some disbelief. "Is it the Feitan you mentioned? Dwarf, the Feitan from the blacksmithing department?"
Cellululu looked at the knight's wide eyes with an incredible expression, and nodded silently.
"That Feitan is Feitan? Are you kidding?" The knight looked constipated, but still couldn't accept it. The gap was too big. Cellululu nodded silently again. This matter was indeed Feitan's embarrassment. Even she, who was very special, The parties involved admitted that they felt a little embarrassed.
The knight opened his mouth wide, and then opened his mouth wider and wider. After reaching the limit, he swallowed and closed his mouth. However, the smile on his face gradually widened, becoming more and more malicious. No matter how he looked, he was gloating about his misfortune. As if he couldn't restrain himself anymore, the knight burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, is Feitan a dwarf? Or is he a blacksmith? Feitan is docile and kind but is often bullied? Hahaha, oh, I can't do it anymore. It's so funny. It's amazing. I really want to see it soon. What’s Feitan’s face like, hahaha, oh, the muscles on my face are cramping from laughing so hard.”
The more the knight said, the harder he laughed. In the end, he was holding his stomach and rubbing his cheeks until he was laughing until he was almost exhausted. But no matter how much he laughed, he was always sober and didn't say a word that he shouldn't have said.
Cellululu was actually very embarrassed, but thinking about Feitan's possible reaction after recovering his memory, she felt that she should be more restrained. Looking at the knight's unrestrained excitement, Cellululu kindly reminded her. "You'd better not put on that expression. I don't care if you get beaten. Also, Feitan has broken the hint. Apart from not recovering his memory, his character is not much different from before."
"Oh, if you don't recover your memory, you won't be Feitan. This kind of opportunity is rare once in a thousand years. No, it probably won't happen again in the future. Come on, let's go find Feitan quickly. I'll be waiting. Not enough."
At this time, the knight had completely forgotten the difference in force between him and Feitan. He eagerly held Cellululu's hand and wanted to die. Well, at least Cellululu looked at the knight's expression and was sure that he must be Want to die.
