mythical visionary

Chapter 69 "So, we have to live together."

Sometimes the sun is bright, and sometimes it is dark and hazy in the afternoon, and the cool wind blows into the attic.

The shadow of the grid window was stretched and cast on the ground, a faint halo shrouded the profile faces of the boy and girl.Xia Mingwei sat against the wall; Qing Zhulin stayed opposite him, reading with lowered eyes.

Xia Mingwei was waiting for an answer, but even if he couldn't wait, he already had the answer in his heart.

"Yes," Qing Zhulin said slowly, "Eat the same kind, this is what I said... the first way to curb the will of the myth."

Xia Mingwei's heart twitched violently, as if a big rock fell, fell into the abyss, and then shattered into powder at the far bottom.

He took a deep breath, opened his mouth slightly, and asked:

"Why is there such a method?"

"Swallowing other mythic carriers can keep you sane for a long time, because the two mythical wills will compete with each other, and one of the mythical wills will be destroyed, and the remaining one will be very weak." Qing Zhu Rin said, "It's not just that, if the myth carrier you eat is strong, you can also gain part of the power."

"So, the sea god Poseidon wants to eat us?"

"To be precise...before you came, he was eyeing me."

"what about now?"

"Now," Qing Zhulin paused, and continued, "I am the food of the God of Beauty, and you are the food of the Sea God."

The afternoon sun was covered by the clouds for a moment, and even with the light that was withdrawn into the attic, the tone of the high-rise buildings returned to a dull blue, and the hoarse cries of crows could be heard.

In the brief darkness, Xia Mingwei's face twitched slightly.

He lowered his head and remained silent for a while before asking: "So, we are divided equally by them?" His voice was a little hoarse, and he was almost out of breath, because he was just a clone standing here at this time, So what if it was eaten by Poseidon, the god of the sea?But Qing Zhulin is really staying here, once she is eaten, that is the real death... an irreversible death.

"It was divided evenly." Kiyotake Rin said in a low voice, "And Poseidon is about to usher in the next out of control, so he will come to Tokyo soon."

"You said before that the adults in the past life meeting didn't want us to leave Japan, so that's the reason."

"Yes, we were kept in captivity, like domestic animals."

"Then can't we escape?"

"The leader is a believer of Poseidon," Qing Zhulin said, "as long as we leave, the leader will find out immediately and report to them. We are not the opponents of the god of beauty and the god of the sea. They all have the ability to enter the mythical body. We're as simple as stomping on bugs."

"Have we killed the leader?"

"Once the connection between the leader and them is broken, they will come to us immediately. The sea god can perceive the entire sea area, and the beauty god can manipulate other people's spirits from thousands of miles away. We can't escape."

"There is no other way?"

"No."

"Can we just wait to die..."

Qing Zhulin was silent for a long time before she said: "Originally," her voice gradually lowered, "I've already given up...it's fine as long as you don't show up."

"……why?"

"What's the use of running far?" Qing Zhulin asked, "Sequencers treat us as enemies, myth carriers treat us as food, no matter how far they run, the whole world is...our enemies, even if If we make it through, we will still lose control and become monsters and self-destruct." The pencil she held in the book fell down and hit the floor lightly.

"But being eaten by them like this, are you willing?"

"I am willing. I was already mentally prepared to die slowly like this..." Qing Zhulin put down the book, hugged her knees, looked down at the pencil that fell on the floor, "but someone suddenly appeared." Her skirt fell to her knees, covering her calves.

"He told me...I'm not alone. He read books with me, watched movies with me, went shopping with me in bookstores, bought clothes, and danced with me on the cruise ship."

"Although the world I live in is still very narrow, so narrow that I can hardly breathe."

"However, for the first time since he came here, I felt as if I was still alive, and even started to think..." She paused, and then continued:
"I really want to go on living."

Xia Mingwei fell silent.

Qing Zhulin clearly didn't mention his name in every sentence, but every sentence was him.

"Robert, I want to visit many places." Qingzhu Lin said in a low voice, "Iceland, England, the North Pole, Antarctica, I want to see polar bears, I want to see what penguins look like, if I can, I want to be buried in the deep sea , only there is no one there who wants to kill me and eat me."

"But once I get out of here, I have nothing."

"Without the shelter of the church, those sequencers will find me soon. I don't like fighting, I don't like being chased, I don't want to linger on, and I don't want to be treated as a monster with eight heads."

"However, staying here is just waiting to die." Xia Mingwei said in a deep voice.

"At least you can calm down and read a book, can't you?" Qing Zhulin said softly, "It's better than being chased by sequencers all over the world."

"Are you serious?"

"Seriously." Qing Zhulin lowered her head, her voice mixed with dissatisfaction, "I've thought about it very seriously, I'm obviously already mentally prepared, but..." She slowly hugged her ears, and asked after a long time : "Why did you appear?"

Xia Mingwei froze in place, a thorn seemed to be stuck in his throat, and guilt climbed up his chest like a thorn.

Maybe, it was really his appearance that made this girl think that she has someone of the same kind who can cherish each other, but he is just a liar, full of lies... But it is such a lie, but she can hear every word So earnest, like a lonely man grasping at straws with difficulty.

Xia Mingwei lowered his head, his eyes were covered by the strands of hair hanging down, but he couldn't hide his twitching cheeks.

Silence hung between the two for a long, long time.On the brown wooden floor, the shadow of the grid window is reflected by the afternoon sun.

"Actually...the London, Iceland, North Pole, and Antarctica you mentioned are actually not as far away as you imagined. You only need a plane ticket to get there." Xia Mingwei said suddenly.

"What about the Sequencer?"

"Come and kill one by one until they are afraid of us."

"Where are Poseidon and Aphrodite?"

"If they keep chasing us, I'll smash their heads with a golden cudgel, and then make these two stinky dragon corpses into a yacht, and we'll ride it around the world and step on it hard. With a few feet, write 'Robert and Kiyotake Rin are here' with a pen."

Xia Mingwei spoke words that even he felt inexplicable, almost incoherent and illogical, like a fairy tale told to children.

But Qing Zhulin was listening carefully. She hugged her knees and quietly watched the swaying window shadows on the floor. The afternoon sun fell into the attic with snowflakes.

"And what if...we're out of control?" she asked.

"Then let's go crazy together and ruin this damn world." Xia Mingwei replied decisively, his voice calm as if he was stating the facts.

Qing Zhulin was stunned for a long time, and teased lightly: "It's really strange that such words... come from a domestic robot like you."

"Sorry, I just studied in Russia, and now I am a combat robot."

"Oh, and what about my home Robot?"

"Brothers can freely switch between 'household type' and 'combat type', and are always on call." Xia Mingwei imitated Ji Lang's mean tone.

"Is it."

"Yes." Xia Mingwei was serious.

"Hmm..." Qing Zhulin catered to him, "As expected of my personal robot, I approve of you." She said, suddenly picked up the "Snow Country" to cover the lower half of her face, coughed twice, Like holding back a laugh.

Xia Mingwei stared at her face seriously, and said slowly: "Qing Zhulin, I will protect you."

It took Qing Zhulin a long time to raise his eyes and meet his gaze: "Really?"

"Really. So we have to live together, we've pulled the hook before, right?"

"Okay, let's live together."

In the narrow attic, they swore face to face, like two trapped beasts driven to a corner by the world, and the snowy Tokyo was outside the window.
