The puppets' stage play

Chapter 216 Bits and pieces of the past

"We are a mixture of fragmented pieces. We have no names and have abandoned the past. Only codenames explain our existence. But without this codename, we are nothing more than sutures."

"The white mist is a double-edged sword. It obliterates our humanity and destroys our will. It instinctively wants to merge into one body and reproduce its own appearance, so people both rely on us and are on guard against us."

"A bunch of monsters that may get out of control at any time are us. Haha, what's the point of us doing this-"

No. 8's body disintegrated instantly, and he looked here with dim eyes, a mocking smile on his face.

"..." The other three were silent, which was normal.

"Go well, may your road ahead be filled with glory."

The three of them murmured a sentence, and then looked into the distance. The area was covered by a large white mist that appeared inexplicably. That was their true form, and they were responsible for protecting those people.

Qi Xiu opened his eyes, and in front of him was Kang Tainian, who was sitting on the desk with a nostalgic look in his eyes and constantly stroking something. He turned his head and looked around, but he couldn't see the traces of others.

Kang Tainian turned his head and looked directly at Qi Xiu, but the focus of his eyes was not on Qi Xiu.

"This is a scene I left before the competition started. Dude, you have proved yourself outstandingly, so I want to entrust that piece of history to you. You like history, right?"

"After all, you usually look at the historical secrets of the past and keep trying to know more. No matter what your purpose is, I agree with you."

Kang Tainian laughed, his face not as serious as usual, but extremely gentle.

"You appear to be silent, but you are actually very opinionated. You can be gentle to others but also ruthless enough to calculate others. This is a very important quality. We can respect those who are pedantic and only want to trust others, but But you can’t learn from them”

"As a leader, you can't just think about your own innocence. You also have to go deep into the darkness occasionally. We humans are such complex creatures. If we stay in the light for a long time, we will not be able to see the path under our feet. If we stumble by then, it will be too late."

"I hate Lin Dao, despise Yu Luoqing, and feel sorry for Gong Shoucheng. In the end, I only have you in my eyes. In a sense, this is God's will." His tone was bitter, but his eyes were full of relief.

"Lin Dao seems to be powerful, but his abilities are unclear. He is the best choice in terms of talent and strategy, but I am afraid, afraid that one day he will show his fangs, and who will be able to stop him then?"

"Yu Luoqing has a rich family background. He is the grandson of my teacher. Everyone has expectations for him, but I don't think he is any good. If Lin Dao is biased towards the light, then Yu Luoqing is too biased towards the darkness."

"He likes to use tricks and has secret thoughts. He seems to be generous, but in fact he deeply agrees with the family's views and is not qualified for a big job."

Kang Tainian finished commenting on both of them calmly, and the expression on his face became complicated.

"Gong Shoucheng... If he and I were in the same era, I would definitely follow him. No matter as a person or as an ideal, he is practicing it steadily. He can be called the embodiment of light. I think It seemed to him that he saw the coming of a prosperous era.”

"That ideal seems naive, but as long as someone walks firmly on that path, people will follow one after another."

He shook his head with a heavy expression, and then looked here again.

"Dude, you are different from the other three. You seem to be taciturn, but in fact you see everything. You are really learning the advantages of others. You are like a sponge, absorbing the advantages of the three one by one."

"I think this is why Gong Shoucheng values ​​you so much. Sometimes I really doubt that you are an empty shell. You are also very pure in some sense. You just move towards a certain goal wholeheartedly. The scenery along the way is all Turn a blind eye"

Kang Tainian stared deeply at this side with an extremely serious expression.

"You should not just be a 'soldier', you should become a 'leader', think, listen to other people's words, and then grow up. I look forward to your future..."

"Teacher Kang, are you your true self? You can only deceive outsiders about the mirror image." A smile suddenly appeared on Qi Xiu's face, and his calm eyes looked at Kang Tainian who was smiling bitterly.

"I was discovered by you..."

Kang Tainian turned his attention to Qi Xiu for the first time, with deep admiration in his eyes.

"Yes, the competition is going on now, but it's not your turn yet, so I pulled you over to test you."

"What's the result?" Qi Xiu asked.

Kang Tainian smiled and said nothing. He stopped and picked up a worn-out notebook. He stared at the notebook with a trace of determination on his expression.

"What I said before is not entirely a lie. I do want to entrust a piece of history to you. I will never allow others to forget it. No matter how tragic my final result is, at least I want to-"

"Come on, come forward." Kang Tainian paused before speaking to Dude.

Qi Xiu took a few steps forward. Kang Tainian took a deep breath and handed the notebook to him. Qi Xiu reached out to take it, but found that the other party's hand was holding tightly and his eyes were staring at him.

He nodded solemnly, and the other party let go, then sat down in his seat.

Qi Xiu looked up and down, and saw that the green cover in front of him was already mottled, and the yellowing pages showed the long history. He put the notes on his left hand, stretched out his right hand and slowly opened it.

There were only a few words on the first page, and the handwriting was messy and scrawled.

"Kang Tainian, you have to remember the fact that you are not a savior, you are just a liar, a coward and an incompetent person."

Qi Xiu raised his head suddenly, and Kang Tainian looked at all this with calm eyes, as if he was not the one talking about him.

"You once asked me about the follow-up to the 'Peacock' file. I dismissed it as the work of a coward. In fact, it was me, but I actually had little to do with that matter."

"At least that's what I think. Since 'I' think I'm a coward, then I'll take on this responsibility."

"At that time, peacocks had already ruled mankind for some time, and people gradually adapted to this kind of life. Although there was still a little resistance, it actually did not cause much repercussions."

Kang Tainian's expression was particularly cold, and he recalled the scene that had been lingering in the depths of his memory.

In the house, young Kang Tainian kept struggling, but it didn't help. He was tied up all over.

“Oooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh”

He struggled to break the rope around him and tried to move to the door to attract the attention of others.

No matter what, no matter what, he was going to help his friend, his only friend!

He roared loudly in his heart, but the cold reality told him that everything you did was in vain. He was unwilling and furious, but to no avail, and the light in his eyes gradually went out.

Peng! At this moment, the door was pushed out from the outside, and a stern-looking man in a blue and black uniform walked in.

He looked at Kang Tainian who was struggling violently underground and sighed helplessly.

"Kang Tainian, give up. As the dean's disciple, they can't let you die. This will affect their reputation."

Kang Tainian stared at the other party eagerly. If it were the other party, he would definitely understand!

Tang Chen sighed and looked at the other person, but his expression suddenly changed. There was... some doubt in the other person's eyes. After hesitating for a moment, he took off the bandage on the other person's mouth.

"Hurry! Hurry! It's too late, Agel is about to die!"

Tang Chen's pupils were shocked. The other person had regained his senses and was in a situation he had never encountered before. Moreover, the name in the other person's mouth reminded Tang Chen of the man who patted his shoulder with a wry smile on his face and firm eyes.

"Dr. Ager..." He murmured, his expression suddenly changed, and he immediately knelt down to remove the rope from Kang Tainian's body.

The students who came from behind were a little dumbfounded when they saw this scene, and they quickly stepped forward to stop it.

"This is my personal judgment. The other party's safety trumps everything else, and I bear all the responsibilities!" Tang Chen shouted, his voice extremely cold, causing others to stop in their tracks.

After a while, Kang Tainian stood up staggeringly, and Tang Chen supported him.

"We must be quick. Agger won't last long. We have to support him. Now that the bloody beast is stopped by him, we can attack the peacock first, thereby awakening more people."

The sound of blood dripping on the ground rang in his ears, but the footsteps that were supposed to arrive as expected did not appear, and Kang Tainian and others felt at ease.

"Sure enough, Dr. Ager!" A look of admiration flashed in Tomson's eyes.

"Let's go!" The two shouted in unison, and walked out of the room quickly with support. The other students' eyes were complicated and unexplainable. They looked at each other and finally followed each other.

"It's all inside..." A figure looked at the blue cube over there from a distance, with a distressed tone.

"Brother Lin, your ability is really amazing!" Shen Daoyan looked at the latter with excitement.

“Just a little trick”

Lindao turned around, but there was no pride in his expression. He looked at the latter.

"Dao Yan, it's time for you to set off. Remember that you have completed your mission only when you find that person. This is why I took you away."

"I know, Brother Lin, I will definitely remind him of it," Shen Daoyan replied firmly, with an extremely serious expression.

Shen Daoyan turned and left, his figure gradually becoming transparent as he walked, and his traces could not be found without special instruments.

"Okay, I'll go find Instructor Yu first. I hope he understands." Lin Dao's voice became deeper, and then a gust of wind blew by, leaving only a little restlessness in the place.

He stepped towards the blue square, and a female shadow blocked his way.

"Student Lin Dao, one of you is already participating in the competition. You cannot enter again." Downton's expression was a little serious, and there was no usual kindness in his eyes.

"Downton, do you know who I am?" Lin Dao looked at him calmly.

"As one of the hosts of the stars, do you want to stop me? Aren't you afraid that Tianji Star will reset you? By then, even your own consciousness will be lost, and you will be just a brand new Tang with all your past. pause'"

"This is basic justice. If you have any orders, you can just say it. I will never refuse if I can do it, but here - no!"

Downton's expression was extremely determined, Lin Dao was slightly touched, and his face softened slightly.

"Then tell me where Yu Sheng is, or ask him to come out. I have something to do with him." He then stated his request. If the other party still didn't agree...

"He is not here. He will stay at home alone for the rest of his life and ask for leave. He said that he occasionally feels cold and is realizing his fragile self."

A stream of data flashed through Downton's eyes, and he immediately told the other party's whereabouts.

"..."

Lin Dao was speechless. The guy actually said such a ridiculous reason, and he immediately turned around and left.

Then the things here have nothing to do with him.

White lights appeared on Lin Dao's body, and then turned into a rainbow and disappeared.

Downton's figure disappeared silently.
