The puppets' stage play

Chapter 321 The enemy is on the side

"I don't think so." Xi Muran replied immediately, still a little overjoyed. Could it be that he wanted to withdraw his qualifications as a candidate? !

"I don't have that authority either. If I say I'm a teacher, I'm just like a prisoner."

Shirley shook her head, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes. Although due to the situation on the front line, her ban was lifted after hastily convening a group of dead soldiers, but in exchange, she could only stay here honestly. With.

Unless there is a major crisis on the front line, by then, those people will probably openly ignore that person's prohibition and order her to go to the battlefield immediately.

"Oh." Xi Muran responded perfunctorily. She was not too interested in this, so she turned around and wanted to leave. She had nothing to talk about with this guy.

"Do you... really want to leave?" Behind her, the deep voice sounded again. She raised her eyebrows, turned her head again, and answered without any hesitation.

"Of course, I have no interest in idols, and after all, I was deceived by those guys who were looking for people. They said that as long as I participated in some questionnaires, I could get paid..." At the end of the sentence, Xi Muran suddenly Some gnashing of teeth.

Those bastards...don't be hit by her alone, otherwise you will be beaten every time you see them!

"Is that so... No wonder." Shirley shook her head, and she understood why such a thing happened at that time. After all, the cause of the matter was also related to her.

Originally, people within the federation had a very high opinion of idols themselves, and there were many people who yearned for this profession. However, at that time, it was taboo for everyone, even the last daughters of major families never appeared.

The reason lies in her.

Her original name was "Princess" and she was one of the candidates. However, at the event where she appeared, three of her original idols died one after another, causing her position to become very awkward.

Speaking of which, the princess prefers the goddess lineage and should be promoted to goddess. However, due to the subsequent battlefield situation, this promotion was interrupted. From this, the other two lines came up with ideas.

Coupled with the return of the head of the family and the beginning of negotiations with the Three Meridians, she could only temporarily consider herself the princess.

He has a higher reputation than the previous three idols, but he is not an official idol. This embarrassing situation has been maintained, so naturally no one is interested in the pending idol position.

Firstly, it was because even if he became an idol, he would never be able to compete with her. Secondly, because of this uncertainty, everyone in Sanmai was very confident and felt that Shirley would definitely become their idol.

Naturally, Sanmai is not worried about the vacancy of idols, and the candidates are also afraid that they will be kicked off, or forcibly suppressed and not allowed to go on stage, so naturally no one wants to come.

However, even if no one comes, they still have to find someone to train them, so in order to make up the numbers, the people below initiate this kind of behavior similar to coaxing. In short, they have to coax people in first.

"..." Xi Muran had a dark face, thinking about how to deal with those people.

"Yes, and your path has been decided." Shirley's eyes flashed slightly, and she could see the aura flowing inside the other person's body at a glance. The milky white pure power was even more powerful than an ordinary teacher.

Xi Muran nodded noncommittally. She had never thought of becoming an idol, so naturally she would not suppress herself and control her intensity at the second level.

That's why she was able to beat up evil forces and occasionally beat up a teacher to vent her anger. The strength was so good, she sighed in her heart.

The corner of Shirley's mouth twitched. She was of a much higher level than the other person, so she could naturally understand what the other person was thinking, not to mention that idols were specialized in the path of the soul.

This person is indeed not suitable to be an idol, she confirmed this once again.

However, this is fine.

"Come for a walk with me." After saying this to Xi Muran who looked unwilling, Shirley turned around and walked away.

"Alas..." Xi Muran sighed deeply. She would have taken another route if she had known, but in desperation, she had to follow him.

She walked a few steps quickly and followed the other person silently. If the other person didn't speak, she would be happy and relaxed.

"Actually, I saw it by chance this time."

There was a voice from the front, Xi Muran said a few random oohs, but in short, he just dealt with it.

"Didn't you do a good job before, easing the conflicts among the children? Although the methods towards those people were a bit cruel later, I can understand it, but next time you should report it to the nearby guards. You are a child after all, so you need to pay attention. My own safety.”

The warble-like voice came one after another, with a hint of warning.

Xi Muran glanced sideways and cursed in his heart, didn't you see everything? !

"I'm not as good as you think." Xi Muran put on a perfect smile on her face and smiled at the people passing by. When there was no one around, she rubbed her face and looked forward.

"I've actually done a lot of that kind of thing. Otherwise, why would you think I have such a good reputation? It's because I can spread my good name among children. Oh, even children from foreign races are very useful."

Xi Muran smiled, but said in an unusually sarcastic way.

"You probably don't understand. My family is very poor. My father only knows how to study biology, but has no idea of ​​saving money. That's why I want to make a living. It's best to be trusted by everyone, so that I can make money."

"You who come from a big family will never understand——"

"Maybe, I really don't understand." From the front, Shirley's cold voice came. Xi Muran paused in his heart, wondering if what he said was a little too extreme. He just wanted to be bored and leave immediately.

No, no, what if it gets spread?

Xi Muran was thinking in her mind, but what surprised her was that those ubiquitous options were missing at this moment, as if they had not appeared since she left with the other party.

"...Not long ago, I tried to stop those people who participated in the war. Some of them were saved by me, but in the face of my obstruction..." Shirley's body paused. The sound stopped.

"Didn't it work?"

Xi Muran came back to his senses and asked casually, looking forward. There was a star shining alone in the night sky. It looked extremely beautiful, and the man in front also raised his head and looked at the sky.

"He is dead. According to the information I received, he was killed by the opponent's troops in just one encounter. Of course, the same was true for those who went to the battlefield together."

That figure looked a little lonely, just like the lone star hanging alone in the sky.

"Huhuhu, those people are really stupid. I definitely won't go." Xi Muran didn't like this atmosphere. She quickly joked, with a mocking look on her face at the right time, looking at the other person with her amber eyes, There is peace in my heart.

Come on, come scold me, I don't care anyway.

Shirley turned around, with a hint of melancholy on her snow-white face, and her frosty-white eyes looked straight here. In the depths of her pupils, reflected the calm green-haired girl.

"Do you know the original definition of idol?" she asked softly.

Xi Muran raised her eyebrows with a meaningless expression, and raised her hand to indicate that she was casual.

Shirley smiled and looked into the distance with her shining golden eyes.

"In the beginning, there were no such things as idols. In those days, 'they' were called gods."

"They can hold the sun and the moon, move over mountains and rivers, are omnipotent, and have infinite power. They are gods. People are afraid of them, but they also envy their power. At that time, they were high above, while people were prostrate on the ground."

The woman's voice has a hint of ancient meaning, like an elder telling a story of the past, a 'myth' that they experienced personally and then became more and more long-lasting through word of mouth.

"The ancient one, the great god, the sky...these names are all descriptions of themselves, but it is not the conviction of kneeling and bowing, but the ambition that is not willing to bend under it."

"Since ancient times, 'name' has been a sharp weapon in people's hands. It is invisible and insubstantial, but it is everywhere and restrains us, just like the name 'human'."

"Who am I, who are you, and who is he?"

The woman's eyes were deep and her tone was extremely ethereal.

"..." Xi Muran frowned. Although she wanted to tell what kind of example this was, unfortunately, she understood.

"Idols are gods who are bound." She rolled her eyes at the other person and continued to talk so much with this simple argument. She doubted the other person's IQ.

Shirley's eyes suddenly glanced here inexplicably, and her vision was extremely complicated.

Xi Muran quickly put away her thoughts and showed an innocent smile.

"To be precise, it was the Son of God. People who were still in the weak stage at that time could not compete with God, so they set their sights on those descendants with the blood of God."

Shirley sighed in her heart, raised her head, and continued. This time, she was too lazy to say anything else and just said the final conclusion.

"That's why an idol can grow into a great god or a immortal who transcends the world. At the same time, it is also a symbol of a holy miracle."

“As a symbol of original resistance, it (the idol) is endowed with (tied to) the meaning of freedom (desire).”

Xi Muran changed slightly. She, who had always been smart, naturally understood the meaning of the other party's words. She looked at the indifferent woman with a cold face, but anger rose in her heart.

"So you are saying that those who went were right, but you were the wrong one?"

"Because I (the idol) failed, I couldn't give them hope (of freedom), so it's my fault."

Shirley looked into the distance with a hint of loneliness in her tone.

"Stupid, stupid, that's why I don't like any idols." Xi Muran yelled, "What's the point of complaining here? Or to people like me. I am the person who hates idols the most."

"Saints, fairies, and goddesses are all a bunch of scum. Aren't they all dead and not even a scum is left? No matter how great they are, it's not enough as long as they die!"

"Trash, idiots, idiots, trash, just seeing them makes people angry. A group of guys who ignore their own lives. If I see them, I will kill them all one by one!"

"In the final analysis, you are wrong from the moment you pursue death. People, but they work hard not to die. Since you work so hard to die, don't be born in the first place. Make some space for me. I still want to die." I will be grateful for your great mercy!"

Xi Muran looked furious and cursed at Shirley, obviously extremely angry.

"...Why are you angry?" Shirley just looked at her calmly, with no trace of anger on her face.

As if a basin of cold water had been poured on her, Xi Muran suddenly came to her senses. She looked at the other party's unruffled face and suddenly understood that her own words could not convince a fool who was immersed in that sense of self-sacrifice.

"...I'm not angry." She rubbed her face, turned and walked back.

"Where are you going?" A faint questioning voice came from behind.

"I'm sorry, the threshold time in my family is coming soon. Next time, I will listen to your teachings when I have the opportunity." Xi Muran paused slightly, turned around with a smile, and bowed politely to leave.

Then, facing that line of sight, she quickly left here, not wanting to stay for a moment.

This place made her want to vomit.

Her eyes also became firm, she must not become that kind of thing.

'Shirley' stared intently at the figure walking away, the expression on her face was extremely indifferent, as if she were looking at a strange existence. Even looking at the scenery in front of her, there was a trace of alienation in her eyes. feel.

After a while, her expression thawed, and Shirley looked around blankly.

"here it is......."

A sound mixed with confusion and fear came out of her thin lips. She never remembered how she got here.

The sun and the moon rotate, and the night passes.

"————————" Xi Muran looked at the smiling instructor in front of him with a subtle expression.

"Congratulations, Mu Ran. From today on, you are a candidate entering the promotion process. You deserve this honor."

The instructor with a kind face and a slightly chubby figure, who is always called Grandma Jiao with a smile by everyone, is also the specialist of this idol candidate training department.

"Why... is it me? Everyone is better than me, right?" Xi Muran's heart was heavy, but she still managed to maintain the smile on her face and asked the other party with a hint of luck.

What if, no, the other party must have made a mistake!

She could not be the best person here if she had been in single digits all the time and occasionally in ten digits. She had worked very hard to control her grades, she thought ferociously in her heart.

"As expected, it's you. You're thinking of everyone even at this time. Am I right?" Grandma Jiao looked behind the girl with a smile. She turned her head with some urgency. There were several people standing there. Top students who always have top grades.

"...Mu Ran...Okay..." Li Yue, who had fluffy brown hair and a slightly shy face, said with her mouth slightly open.

(You can’t do this, show your name as number one!)

"...Huh, it's not impossible. People are also looking at it. I'm optimistic about it."

With her face turned sideways, her white wrists were running through her long golden hair, tying the soft hair into two balls. Although Li Xiu Kemeng, who was famous for her arrogance, was dissatisfied, there was a look of approval on her face.

(......I really don't know that your usual attitude towards me is to acknowledge me.)

"I was not convinced at first, but her attitude is worth learning from. I still need to improve myself again. Xi Muran, this is not the end, but the beginning of a new challenge. Just wait for me there."

Lin Shuji, an androgynous woman with black hair and a calm expression on her smooth face, wearing a light blue top, nodded solemnly to this side and ended with a challenge.

(Ah, like this, I’m sorry, as long as you challenge me, I will give in immediately, which will definitely shock you!)

Xi Muran responded one by one with a smile on his face, but in his heart he complained with some despair, Damn it, where is your aggressiveness? Come and fight me, I will definitely lose, why do you have to recognize me? !

"Diligent and kind, gentle and courteous, and most importantly, Muran also knows the greatest responsibility of being an idol."

The complimentary voice came from behind, and Xi Muran turned his head half tiredly. Grandma Jiao looked at her with bright eyes, her face full of admiration.

"Whether it's a foreigner or a federal citizen, Mu Ran works tirelessly. Even if he gives up his own personal time, he will personally help others. This is the biggest responsibility of an idol."

The other girls stared here, listening to the words from Grandma Jiao's mouth, they suddenly felt enlightened and their expressions became solemn. Even other girls who were a little dissatisfied looked at Xi Muran softly.

No one hates a simply good guy.

"So, I decided that even if her grades are not good, I will definitely recommend her, and, do you know?" Grandma Jiao smiled mysteriously and looked at everyone, who suddenly had curiosity in their eyes.

Is there anything else?

(I also want to know, I will correct it immediately.)

Xi Muran smiled, but he was screaming in his heart, these guys are really, why don't they ask her opinion? !

"Muran, even in school, was praised by teachers in various subjects. They thought she was super intelligent and an extraordinary genius. When they heard the news that I was going, they even took the time to praise Mu Ran."

Grandma Jiao glanced at Xi Muran with a smile, and the latter smiled back, thinking viciously in her heart, those damn old guys.

"It can be seen that Mu Ran is not stupid, but she is busy with schoolwork and helping others at the same time, which distracts her mind, which leads to poor performance here. I am sure that she must be out of concern for others. I have to give up the results here.”

"However, although her grades dropped due to lack of skills, she still had no complaints at all. She still helped others without regrets and sincerely blessed people with excellent grades."

The girls couldn't help but stand in awe. They all looked at Xi Muran at the same time. Even the three people with the highest scores had something strange in their eyes. Yes, the other party did give them sincere blessings at that time, and there was no trace of regret. .

It would be impossible for them to do it. Really, how beautiful she is inside. Thinking of this, they couldn't help but look at each other with admiration in their eyes.

(......If you have anything else to brag about, just come on, I have a super strong mind!)

Xi Muran's lips moved slightly, and then he resisted the intention of yelling. There was still hope, even if he entered the promotion process, he could still be screened out.

"So I recommended Mu Ran to the superiors, and then Miss Shirley who was passing by saw it. She said in passing that she had seen Mu Ran helping others before and was very impressed."

(Unexpected attack!)

(Is this revenge for my previous response?) Xi Muran was already numb.

Grandma Jiao said with a satisfied look on her face, what a blessing it was to be noticed by the current idol.

The other girls also looked at each other in surprise, with envy in their eyes.

"Hey, Mu Ran, aren't you happy?" Lin Shuji asked in surprise. She felt that the other party was not that happy.

"I..." Now, just say it, Xi Muran encouraged himself in his heart, "I am very touched, everyone is so kind, I..."

Xi Muran covered his face, filled with despair.

(Why, my mouth, what have you done? I want to leave!!!!)

"As expected of you." Lin Shuji relieved his doubts and said with admiration on his face.

Grandma Jiao walked up to Xi Muran with a smile on her face and whispered in her ear.

‘Previously, thank you for your encouragement to Gale. He is working very hard now. ’

Xi Muran raised her head with astonishment, and saw a warm smiling face in front of her eyes. However, no matter how she looked at it, she still felt that there was a sense of relief and pride on that face.

"I...that's great."

Xi Muran smiled, but his heart was filled with despair. There were "enemies" here, and this federation was hopeless.

Well, she can't be saved either.
