mythical visionary

Chapter 131 Consciousness
At night, in the underground of the academy, right in front of the metal birdcage.

Xia Mingwei sat on the ground, crossed his legs, and looked at the girl in the cage through the transparent curtain of the birdcage: "How are you doing today?"

"Well, we have something to eat." Qingzhu Lin wrote in the notebook, "Where is Robert?"

"I feel fine."

"Are you happy today?"

"Well, today is the school's ceremony, and I ate a lot of delicious food."

Qing Zhulin pressed a pencil against his chin, and wrote in his notebook after a while: "That's great, I also want to participate in the celebration."

Xia Mingwei originally wanted to say 'it's not really fun', but looking at Qing Zhulin's plain face, he suddenly remembered that she had been hospitalized for poor health since she could remember, and never went to school.

"Speaking of which, Robert, you seem to be a little short-sighted." Qing Zhulin thought for a while, and then wrote, "You don't have sharp eyes anymore. From such a distance, can you read the words on the notebook clearly?"

"No, I know what you wrote even with my eyes closed." Xia Mingwei said, closing his eyelids with a smile, "The next sentence you wrote in the notebook is: 'Is that so'."

When he opened his eyes and was about to confirm the answer, his pupils shrank slightly.

Qing Zhulin hugged his head and curled up slowly, his shoulders trembled slightly, and the notebook in his hand fell on the metal floor, making a crisp sound.

"What's wrong with her?" Xia Mingwei asked, lowering his head.

"It should be a side effect of the medicine." Suad said in a low voice. "It's normal, except for occasional tinnitus and headache. It is not a simple matter to resist the recovery of the mythical will."

"Is it."

"You're quite calm today."

Xia Mingwei asked softly, "Are you okay, Rin?"

Before he could finish his words, Qing Zhulin's thin body fell to the floor. Xia Mingwei stared blankly at this scene, watching her fall slowly, and her right arm collided with the floor making a clear sound.Before there was any expression on his face, the crimson in his pupils was about to erupt like a demon that had escaped from its cage.

Suad frowned and said, "I'll have someone check her physical condition. Don't worry too much. It shouldn't be a big problem."

Xia Mingwei was silent for a moment, then slowly got up: "Let's go."

"what?"

"Let's go back."

That night, when Xia Mingwei returned to the dormitory, he did not see Ji Lang, but Ji Lang sent him a text message, saying that an encrypted channel was used, and no one could monitor their conversation. What should I say afterwards? Just use this encrypted interface to chat directly.

He lay down on the bed, his consciousness sank slowly, and he soon entered the fantasy theater.

What greeted his eyes was still the dark world. Looking back, there was still no movement in the cell, like a piece of hard ice standing there, motionless.

Totoro is sleeping in front of the cell, as if waiting for Monkey King to wake up; a huge monster is leaning against the shadow in the corner of the theater, and it can be vaguely seen from the outline that it is a whale. Its undulating breathing sounds like The echo from the deep sea is slow, mysterious and profound.

He sat down on the nearest chair and entered into a daydream.

Opening his eyelids slightly, his pupils trembled slightly, and what caught his eyes was the familiar cafe. At sunset, the afterglow of the setting sun spilled into the store. The boss was wrapped in a kitchen apron, leaning against the counter to smoke, with one hand Hugging his shoulders and holding a cigarette in the other hand, the evening breeze rolled up the cigarette ash.

"How have you been lately?" the boss asked.

"Not very good." Xia Mingwei lowered his eyes and looked at the report card in front of him. "It's a mess."

The report card was filled with crosses in red pen and ink, which looked a bit hideous, and beside it was written a warning from the teacher: You are always distracted in class, so think about what you should do, people always have to plan for their future , are you going to just hang around like this?

"I've said it before, your child is good at everything, but you just can't figure out some things." The boss said.

"What about?" Xia Mingwei said, suddenly turning his head.

A customer walked in outside the cafe. He was a rough man with a beard in a military uniform, and his facial features looked like an American.He sat across from Xia Mingwei and said almost word by word: "As a myth carrier, you have to devour your own kind in order to maintain your sanity, gain strength, and not be wiped out by humans. This is how we survive."

"Poseidon, don't instill strange values ​​in this child." The boss sighed.

"Then I don't want to be a myth carrier?" Xia Mingwei asked in a low voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, another figure walked in outside the door. It was Allens in school uniform. He sat on the left side of Xia Mingwei: "All myth carriers are our enemies. They are like walking nuclear bombs. How can humans and Nukes make friends?"

"Yes, nuclear bomb."

"We are sequencers. Nuclear bombs should be eliminated, otherwise innocent people will be harmed. Mythological carriers should not exist, and their existence is a mistake." Anlens stared into Poseidon's eyes.

"Why do you say that our existence is a mistake?" Poseidon said with a sneer, "Since we are alive, we have our reasons. We are the ultimate existence, and we are the messengers to help human beings evolve. Why stick to these weaklings The framework and rules established? We can dominate the whole world and destroy it when we are unhappy!"

"If it can be destroyed, how easy it is." Xia Mingwei murmured.

The boss didn't speak, just stood in front of the counter, smoking a cigarette, watching them quietly.Suddenly, the bell tied to the store door swayed slightly and rang.

Xia Mingwei turned his head and looked towards the door. What came into view were two mummified corpses. From their faces, it could be seen that they were his parents.

His parents dragged their bloody bodies and walked towards him step by step: "It's all those monsters that ruined our home and your life, right?"

"Yes." Xia Mingwei slowly raised his eyes, staring at the two broken faces, "So I want to become a sequencer and kill them all." Just as the tired words fell, some heavy object fell from the sky and smashed On the ground in front of the store, there was a metal birdcage, and in the depth of the birdcage sat a blood-stained girl.

She tilted her head slightly, with the back of her head leaning against the metal wall, the blood on her body seemed to be burning coldly in the sun, and the hair wrapped around her earlobe was like feather-like fluff.

"She must be locked in a cage, and no one can save her." Suad did not know when he appeared beside him, "This is the fate of the myth carrier."

"You can only have one identity, otherwise you have nothing, just a simple alien." Anlunsi said, "Everyone will become your enemy."

"you're right."

"So, you still haven't made a choice?" Suad asked.

"Avenge us!" the parents' corpses said hoarsely.

"So many innocent people will die, including my sister, do you want to close your eyes selfishly?!" Anners growled, "She needs to be controlled, and so do you!"

"No, we are born with the tyranny to rule everything!" Poseidon shook the table violently.

The whole world was trembling violently like a war drum, making a noise like a gust of wind and rain, which could almost pierce people's eardrums. Only the boss stood quietly in front of the counter, as if watching a mime.

"All of you said that." Xia Mingwei's voice was tired.

"That's because you need a stand, otherwise everything will be too late." Suad said softly.

"Standing point?" Xia Mingwei lowered his head slightly, his eyes covered by his hanging hair, "Everyone is constantly defining me and teaching me how to do it." His voice gradually became lower, "But there is only one person, No matter what kind of person I am, no matter what identity I choose, she will always stand by my side. She said... What does the sequencer have to do with it, and what does the myth carrier have to do with it."

"So it's just for her? Are you going to give up all your positions?" The people around them roared in unison, their faces as ferocious as evil ghosts.

"No, it's for myself." Xia Mingwei whispered, "I don't want to be a myth carrier, nor a sequencer. I just want to put aside all positions, get freedom, and get the freedom to live as Xia Mingwei. You can Call me selfish, call me ungrateful, disgusting, stupid, but I just want to live like this, and I can only live like this, after all, I am hopelessly stupid."

"Even... against the whole world?"

"Even if I am against the whole world, I will take her away." Xia Mingwei said quietly, "If I am wrong, then we are accomplices. No matter how miserable the end is, I will accept it completely."

After the last word fell, everything around me seemed like a mirror image, gradually collapsing, and the roof trembled and gray sawdust fell down.

"This is the answer," the boss behind him said softly, "You have grown up."

"Boss," Xia Mingwei didn't look back at him, "you always wanted me to be an ordinary person, right?"

"There are no ordinary people who are not ordinary people. I just hope you can be yourself." The boss smiled, "Go all the way, Mingwei."

In the collapsed world, his voice became increasingly blurred and weak.

Xia Mingwei stood up slowly and walked towards the exit of the cafe. He stepped across the threshold amidst the sound of wind chimes. The birdcage in front of him suddenly shattered. The girl in the birdcage fell into the abyss along with the birdcage. The whole world was shaken by an invisible torrent. engulf.

"Wait for me to find you." He said softly.
