The puppets' stage play

Chapter 361 A Touch of Green

"Soul color scale."

Zhou Tao turned around and his tone became deep.

"In the past, there were black hair, blond hair, and platinum hair in this land. People used race, region, and appearance as distinctions, and they fought endlessly with those who were different from themselves."

"People back then never thought about the simple question of why they are the way they are."

"Teacher Zhou, I have read through old materials, and they are explained by things like 'genes'." Li'an looked solemn, recalling what he had written down, trying to answer the other party's question.

"Very good, you have reached the key point, then let me ask you again, what is a gene? Is it the matrix that makes up the body, a connector that continues thinking, or an inductive method?"

Zhou Tao smiled slightly and asked the other party questions in the form of rhetorical questions.

,

Li An closed his mouth, his face tensed, and his lips pursed tightly.

"I don't know." He shook his head hard. For him, that era was too far away.

"That doesn't matter. As long as it can be used, it is valuable. Just pursuing its name is meaningless."

In the silent classroom, a cold voice sounded like a breeze, bringing a little bit of life.

Everyone couldn't help but look at the speaker.

Dai Qishi, who had always been taciturn, stood up. Her eyes, which were usually in a state of laxity, became extremely focused at this moment, as if some kind of will was born in that 'empty shell'.

There was a strong will in Dai Qishi's eyes, and she even looked at Zhou Tao without giving in. The latter stared at the other person and couldn't help but think of the other person's information.

The people on the plateau were unwilling to fail, so they cultivated large quantities of them using the 'Elgatha' template. After consuming a large number of 'herdsmen', the only result of victory was born.

Therefore, Dai Qishi is also called the flower of the plateau.

However, such an existence is not so much 'Dai Qishi' as it is a poor reproduction of 'Elgatha'. Zhou Tao shook his head secretly in his heart.

"Let's get back to the topic." He had no intention of interfering with others. As a guilty person, he just had to do his own thing.

"..." Dai Qishi sat down calmly, and then her eyes became distracted again.

Yuanshan pushed the people around him repeatedly, the excitement on his face was palpable. Aikus sat aside with a helpless expression, enduring his sister's restlessness.

"Before the establishment of the Federation, we began to summarize various phenomena, such as the study of abnormal events."

"Yesterday my hair was black, but today I woke up and it turned green."

"Blonde hair that is well maintained can turn pale white in the blink of an eye."

"At that time, there were many such cases." Zhou Tao explained with an indifferent expression.

"Oh, teacher, can we change?" With excitement in his eyes, Zaporta asked with a rare serious look. At the same time, he couldn't help but touch his gray hair.

Kilf, who was also gray-white, glanced at the other party, and then looked at Zhou Tao.

"This has something to do with the 'soul color level' I want to talk about." Zhou Tao waved his hand to signal everyone not to rush, and then he said slowly.

"Generally speaking, our birth determines our qualifications, but even if we are called ironclad qualifications, we have a special 'key' to unlock them."

"Inside the Federation, it is generally called soul transformation. At that moment, the original soul quality is sublimated, thus deriving its own unique brilliance."

"Flawless, iridescent, gold, purple, holy, green, twilight, sunset, crimson, and... dust." Zhou Tao looked around at the crowd and his tone became heavy.

"The above soul colors are the transformed souls of most people in the Federation. Although there are still a few alien souls, they are generally not recorded in the register."

"Of course, I am also here to remind you of a common mistake. Due to the population base of the Federation, there is a high probability of the proliferation of certain types of transformed souls. If you are an ordinary person, you will divide the color scale into upper and lower levels based on this phenomenon. .”

Zhou Tao shook his head, his eyes full of disapproval, and then he looked at everyone.

"That's a fallacy. There is no distinction between high and low souls of transformation. Except for Flawless and Rainbow, which are special, most people will start their second transformation and achieve further sublimation when they reach the end."

"That kind of game is worthless."

At this moment, he looked straight at the people below who had troubled expressions on their faces, and his expression looked extremely calm.

Even though most of the people sitting below are the children of the family, within them, the division of color levels is highly respected. The children who have awakened the superior souls are vigorously cultivated. On the contrary, those inferior souls will be placed in everywhere.

So it can be said that the people here are basically the beneficiaries of that system. Faced with the lecturer's explicit opposition, they were speechless for a while.

Camus pursed his lips and smiled. Facing Qi Xiu who turned to look at him, he half-closed his eyes and covered his lips with his fingers in a cross shape.

"..." Qi Xiu turned his head wordlessly, ignoring the other party's movements.

Camus immediately put down her hands and sat on the spot with a high-spirited posture. She stared at the person above, with a faint smile on her face.

After that, in everyone's complicated mood, they felt that the short years could not help but become difficult, but Zhou Tao continued to explain the relevant knowledge as always.

Focused and serious, he can be said to be an extremely qualified teacher.

Finally, Zhou Tao put away the round stick in his hand, announced the end of today's class, and then strode out of the classroom.

"..." Qi Xiu frowned. The other party seemed to have glanced at him before leaving. Was it his own imagination? There was some uncertainty in his heart.

"Want to play, Qi Xiu?" A soft voice sounded from the side, and a white and tender wrist stretched out. He raised his head, and in front of him was Camus's extremely bright smile.

"..." He silently packed up his books, put them in his pocket, and walked outside as if he hadn't heard.

After a while, he left the classroom.

Camus retracted her hand calmly, ignoring the attentive Lei brothers next to her. She turned her eyes and looked at Li An, who was walking slowly with a serious look on his face.

"What do you want to do-"

"Shh." With her fingers on her lips, Camus showed a playful gesture. Then, she ignored the people around her and walked outside under Li An's shocked expression.

"Hey, what a coincidence, are you waiting for me?" As soon as she went out, she said to the boy beside her with a smile.

Qi Xiu let out a sigh, glanced at the other party coldly, and then walked down without hesitation.

It seems that ordinary methods cannot find out the reason why the other party is trying to communicate with him. He does not think that his charm is so great that it can attract the attention of the person in front of him.

He walked further and further in thought.

Camus looked condescendingly at the other person's leaving figure. The cheerful expression on her face gradually darkened, even looking a little gloomy. She shook her head and walked down silently.

The next day, the third day... This exchange was still going on, and Camus persistently launched an 'offensive' against Qi Xiu.

"Qi Xiu, can I call you big brother?"

Qi Xiu stood up and left.

"Brother, you can call Miao by his nickname."

His eyes were unmoved and he continued to scan the book in front of him, with a black line around his eyes.

"Miao was praised by father today, haha, it's really tempting."

It had nothing to do with me, a stray thought flashed through Qi Xiu's mind, and was suppressed by him.

"Yesterday, I went to the Fish Ball Mountain to play. Looking from a distance, it does look a bit like a fish ball. Hehe, I found something good."

He nodded subconsciously. Indeed, he had seen the scene there. The scenery was indeed beautiful.

"This year is coming to an end soon. I think I'm still a little lonely. However, by next year, I will be the same age as my eldest brother."

Speaking of which, the other person seemed to be one year younger than his classmates, he thought thoughtfully.

"It was really scary to be scolded by my father. His beard was raised so high that Miao was worried that his father would be blown away by the wind."

Thinking of that scene in his mind, Qi Xiu smiled and shook his head. Then, he looked at the other person after a long absence. Camus was still sharing anecdotes about his life with an excited look on his face, seemingly not affected by his indifference at all.

Thinking of this, he made a rough calculation and found that almost a month had passed. During this period, the other party was still like that. Whether it was other people's dissuasion or other people's cold eyes, he didn't take it to heart at all.

However, he could not continue, his eyes became determined.

"Listen up, Camus."

"One more time... eh!" Camus exclaimed, and his excited face rushed here, with an expression of emotion on his face, the corners of his eyes were red, and there was a layer of water in his eyes. fog.

"Finally, I'm willing to admit it, you stupid big brother!" She complained while looking over here with a smile.

"I'll only say it once." However, Qi Xiu's expression looked extremely serious. For this reason, Camus, who was still smiling on her face, seemed a little uneasy. She looked here cautiously and her movements became cautious.

"Well, listen, Miao." She nodded obediently.

"Perhaps you have learned some information from other people's mouths." He deliberately made his tone calm, and the Lei brothers in the distance showed contemptuous expressions.

"I'm sick, very sick. If it weren't for the help of others, I might have died a long time ago." Although that was not bad, he suppressed the distracting thoughts in his heart and tried his best to show a calm attitude.

"...Well, Miu knows." Camu was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly.

"Countless sequelae still remain in my body, one of which is called Qi Sea Collapse." Although Qi Xiu's tone was still calm, there was a hint of sadness in his eyes.

Li An had been paying attention to this side and naturally heard what the other party said.

The Qi Sea Collapse is, in a sense, the same existence as the Ash Seed. In a federation threatened by 'digits', if people want to practice independently, they must use an unconventional method.

Through the gathering and dispersion of the sea of ​​​​qi (sea of ​​consciousness) and the use of pregnancy pulse methods, a set of 'external' cultivation organs can be created, so that before being promoted to a high level, you can have your own power.

And if the original method was gone... Li An shook his head inwardly, and he would probably be able to live as an ordinary person. That was why he determined that the other party could not pose a threat after investigating the other party's background.

A person who cannot even control his own power is just an 'ordinary person'.

"So, no matter what expectations you have for me, I can't fulfill them. Now you understand..." Qi Xiu twitched the corners of his mouth, revealing an ugly smile.

pat.

The cold palms tightly held the trembling hands, but there was no gloom on the girl's face. Her extremely sincere eyes looked extremely gentle, which was a holy light that transcended her age.

The soft water light spread around, and the sound in the ears became dull, as if they were in another world.

"As for Miu, I actually understand that the eldest brother is actually a very gentle person. Otherwise, when faced with the approach of the lovely Miu, he would definitely fall in love. Miu is very confident." Camus raised the tip of his nose slightly, his face He showed a playful smile.

"However, Big Brother keeps Myu in a state of defeat." Camu stuck out his tongue, looking extremely cute, with a look of reluctance in his eyes.

"This is a very precious experience, and Miao will become stronger because of it. However, that is not actually what Miao wants to pursue."

"Miao often thinks that it would be a very boring thing to decide each other's positions based on their strength, yes, very boring."

Camus, who always wore a smile, rarely showed a hint of fatigue.

"That must be wrong..." She murmured in a low voice, her expression looking a little dazed.

Qi Xiu just looked at her silently, but he couldn't help but feel an indescribable feeling of closeness in his heart. Inexplicably, he thought of a face that he had never seen since the funeral.

Indeed, he was a little lonely, and his mood became complicated.

Then, Camus cheered up and looked over again with great energy.

"So, Miao decided to make a partner who can be a close friend in the soul, a close person who can laugh and grieve together, and who can't be separated even in death. That has been Miao's dream all along."

"So let's get along well with each other from now on, big brother." Camus's eyes showed hope and he stretched out his hand again.

Qi Xiu looked at the hand and made the final decision.

Snapped.

This time, both hands held each other's hands, with joyful expressions on their faces, and a look of determination that could not be erased in their eyes.

The water-colored world dispersed, and the two figures reappeared in the classroom.

Facing everyone's surprised gazes, Camus raised his hand without shame and announced to the surroundings with a proud look on his face.

"From now on, big brother will be my forever friend!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions became suspicious. In just a short period of time, they could see what was going on. They could see the indifferent atmosphere between the two parties during this period.

Only a few people were aware of the previously activated spell, but due to other concerns, they did not point it out.

Even Angela, who had always been indifferent to everyone, couldn't help turning her head. At this moment, her black eyes looked at the two people with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

Then, she shook her head slightly and continued to look at the scenery outside the window.

The green branches are catching the breeze, and the birds are flying in the low sky, telling the story that the New Year is coming. The bells are ringing, making long sounds.

buzzing.

It was as loud as morning bells and evening drums, so she closed her eyes.

"This time, you don't have to worry if you go alone. I have already taken care of those chores for you. Even if you just follow the outline, you can easily solve them."

Like a distant voice coming from the horizon, for a moment, she couldn't tell where she was.

"Not to mention anything else, there are a few people I know there. Well... Senior Shirley is not here, but it should be fine." The voices in front of her were still coming, but she felt extra special distant.

"Well? Qian Yi, are you listening?" The voice approached instantly, she shuddered and looked at the woman in front of her again.

"Yes, master, I understand!" Tang Qianyi said seriously.

"You kid..." Yu Huizhi laughed, then waved her hand, "Okay, you go."

Tang Qianyi bowed deeply once again, and then walked towards the giant city in the distance. There was a trace of expectation in her eyes, she would see her brother soon.

She whispered in her heart, her eyes turned red for a moment, and then turned black again.

Looking at her disciple's retreating figure gradually disappearing on the horizon, Yu Huizhi's original smiling face also disappeared in an instant. She frowned and raised her right hand in front of her.

Her fingertips moved slightly, and a green aura reappeared. Her expression suddenly became serious, and she expelled it again. Then, she stopped looking at the green particles disappearing in the air, and continued to look at her fingertips.

The thorns are stronger than before, and even the green color like 'flame' appears again.

"Sure enough..." She shook her head and touched the air with her fingertips to crush the breath, although she knew it would not have much effect.

"I hope I can bring Qianyi to the right path before I 'die'." She smiled nonchalantly. By now, she no longer took this threat to heart.

"Wait a moment."

Yu Huizhi suddenly thought of something. It seemed that the person his disciple valued also lived in that land filled with the smell of death. If that person was contaminated at all...

Thinking of her disciple's possible expression of despair, she couldn't help but shake her head. She was not optimistic about this. However, it had been a year, so the other party must be dead.

.......Okay, prepare some more things and go pick up the disciple, Yu Huizhi made up her mind.

Then, she looked at the city ahead, her expression becoming complicated.

"I thought I would never come back again..."

A whirlwind blew by, and no one was there.
