Chapter 1270: One Thousand Two Hundred and Sixty Seven [Poem of Magpie and Nobody (Part )]

Then, little Si Que will come again next time.

"The protagonist investigated the slime on the wall, but it was actually a trap in the inner city. However, the smart protagonist would not be fooled..." Little Sique was wearing a short-sleeved shirt today, and it seemed to be a hot summer outside again.

"Wow, that sounds nice. I love it." Su Mingan felt that he was speaking, and his voice was still weak.

……

Then, little Si Que will still come.

"Later, the protagonist stepped into the inner city, where there was a huge arena! There he met the Mechanical Mother Goddess..." As Xiao Sique described, his clothes were always changing and his height was getting taller and taller.

He is growing up.

This is a change that can be seen with the naked eye.

……

The time interval between the little magpie's arrival became longer and longer, from a few days, to dozens of days, and then to a few months... Sometimes he walked in a hurry, with wheat ears still on his body.

"I helped Grandma Martha harvest wheat today. She's getting older, so I helped her with some chores." Little Si Que patted the wheat ears on his body. He looked about thirteen or fourteen years old, a teenager:
"You don't have to be a strong hero. It's also good to help grandma harvest wheat, right? The strong children have left the village, so there must be children who stay to take care of grandma."

Little Si Que can always see things that other children of his age cannot. The meaning of life, neglected elderly people, moving poems, afternoon sunshine...

His vision is poetic and romantic. Even the farm work that children disliked looked like golden wheat waves dancing in the wind in his eyes, which could give rise to a poem.

However, Su Mingan had already sensed something was wrong with Little Si Que. Little Si Que helped Grandma Martha harvest wheat, perhaps not because he felt sympathy, but because he wanted to get inspiration for his creation from this incident.

"So, today I thought of a plot about harvesting wheat..." Little Sique really said this.

Xiao Si Que came again and again, the story became more and more perfect, the plot became more and more smooth, but it seemed that there was only something missing...

……

Act IV: The Heroine

[He is fourteen years old now, and the village is no longer responsible for his food and daily life.]

[But it doesn't matter. How much can a magpie eat? He can survive by eating wheat ears. He needs very little material conditions. Just a pen is enough for his soul to survive.]

[On this day, a great man came to the village. It was said that he was from the royal city. All the villagers went to welcome him. But he was the exception. He was sleeping soundly on the tree.]

[The important man had long green hair, a handsome face, and was about thirty years old. He asked to see him by name.]

[The villagers came in panic and brought the big man under the tree.]

【"Kid, your name is Si Que?" the big shot said. 】

【“What’s up?” He was still lying on the treetop. 】

[“I will provide you with generous funds, and the only condition is that I will become your guardian until you are eighteen years old. My name is Qiao, are you willing?”]

[“Okay, the funds are given to the villagers, and you can’t restrict me from doing anything.” he said.]

【"good."】

[He didn't care why this big shot came to him. Maybe it was a prophecy from somewhere. People always like all kinds of vague prophecies, most of which don't work. This person probably just wanted to invest.]

[With the help of funds, the children in the village used better swords, Grandma Martha no longer had to work hard on the farm, and Oppa could finally choose a new life...]

[Everyone was extremely grateful to him, but he just sat at the table as usual, writing his story that no one read.]

[Until Qiao was willing to read his story, after reading it, Qiao showed a look of amazement:]

[“Your story is very interesting, one of the best stories I’ve ever seen… Your aura is beyond my expectations. But have you ever thought about adding a local from the floating city to this story? I mean, the appearance of this character can help readers better empathize with the helplessness and pain of the people of the floating city.”]

【Qiao's words were like thunder. He had never thought that Qiao and his ideas were so consistent. His voice was a little excited: "You think the same as I do! I have thought about it a long time ago. From the beginning, I have conceived the image of a heroine. She is a native of Fucheng. Her father died. She was bullied and sold to the inner city. On the way, the hero's team rescued her..."】

【In the discussion with Qiao, he finally completely determined the image and plot of the heroine. 】

[He began to like bridges. Who doesn't like a muse who provides inspiration to him? ]

[That night, he sat at the table, took a deep breath, and picked up a pen.]

[“Okay, appear in my story, heroine…”]

……

Su Mingan raised his head and saw a purple-haired boy walking towards him in the endless blank world.

Every time little Si Que came over, he would grow taller. When he first came over, he was only eleven or twelve years old, but now he looks like a fourteen-year-old boy.

The voice of Su Mingan's body was becoming more and more distinct... It was the voice of a young girl, clear and pleasant.

He suddenly realized that the body he was possessing was a young girl. It was just that she was too young before and looked androgynous. As time went by, her face and figure became clearer and clearer.

"After discussing with Qiao today, I have already conceived the whole story." Little Si Que sat down and muttered to himself as usual: "I want to add a heroine to this story to make the whole story more touching. In fact, as early as the beginning, I had a preliminary idea of ​​the image of this heroine, and now I am completely sure of it."

Su Mingan's eyes were shocked.

——He suddenly realized who he was possessed by.

——He also suddenly understood...why he had always been in a pure white space with nothing in it, and no one could see him except Xiao Si Que.

Little Si Que sat down, strumming the golden lyre and humming softly.

His voice was beautiful, gentle, and still like a stream:
"She had glorious golden hair."

Su Mingan lowered his head, and his body and golden hair became more dazzling.

"She has eyes as blue as the sea."

Su Mingan turned on the system mirror, and the blue eyes of the girl in the mirror became clearer.

"She is the heroine of this story. She was born in the outer city, her father died, she was bullied by her neighbors, and she was almost sold to the inner city, but she has a sincere heart."

"her name is……"

……

"——Alisa."

……

A bright white light.

The moment Xiao Si Que gave the name, the white around Su Ming'an began to fade away - as if the paper was melting.

His vision was no longer completely pure white, but began to show colorful scenes, yellow tables and chairs, swaying kerosene lamps, window grilles, and beds with corn patterns...

In front of him was a 14-year-old boy with purple hair tied into a ponytail and golden eyes that were slightly dazed, under the dim light. The boy held a pen in his hand, and the unfinished manuscript paper was pressed under Su Mingan.

Su Mingan sat on the manuscript paper on the table, facing the young man, as if he had just walked out of the manuscript paper.

The two looked at each other, the boy was surprised, and Su Mingan blinked.

He finally understood what that pure white space he had been in was.

——It’s a blank piece of paper.

When Xiao Si Que first began to conceive the blonde, blue-eyed girl, even though her background and plot had not yet been finalized, she had already begun to breathe on the snow-white paper.

Every time Xiao Sique sat at the table and filled in her character on a piece of white paper, in her vision, it was as if Xiao Sique appeared alone in the pure white world, sat down and talked to her.

The impenetrable, thin barrier between them... is manuscript paper.

——Xiao Si Que is outside the paper, and she is inside the paper.

Little Sique couldn't see herself inside the paper, but she could see Little Sique who told her stories again and again.

When Xiao Sique finally decided on her character, he wrote down her name - she appeared on the paper and in front of Xiao Sique.

The characters in the painting are alive, they breathe in the paper, but because all the elements have not been met, they have not appeared in front of the creator. If the creator puts down the pen and gives up creation, they will leave the paper.

The lights flickered dimly, the moonlight was hanging down, and the boy looked at the blonde, blue-eyed girl who suddenly jumped out of the paper in front of him, and called out in astonishment:

"...Alisa?"

Little Sique had never seen anything like this before—the words he wrote would actually become reality.

Su Mingan did not control his body, so the blonde girl with blue eyes opened her mouth: "My name is not Alyssa, I have my own name, my name is Siyi."

"Siyi, are you the life created by me?" asked little Si Que.

"Almost. Your inspiration intersected with mine in the vast time, so I appeared in front of you." Siyi said.

"I never thought that the tip of a pen could write real things... How interesting." Little Si Que moved his pen a few more times and wrote a line of words neatly on the paper: [Strawberry Shortcake].

He had wanted to eat this dessert for a long time, but it was said that only city people could eat it.

Then, a few pieces of strawberry shortbread suddenly appeared on the table, plump and crispy.

"Is this the world's first strawberry shortbread written with a pen?" Little Si Que buried his face in his hands and laughed softly, "Interesting... The world has finally become interesting. I've never heard of a pen tip being able to write real things."

“Maybe the rules of the world changed at some point, allowing the pen to write real things... Who knows.” Siyi said, “But please keep your innocence and spirituality as a child, this may be the reason why you can create all this.”

"You mean don't let me become a boring adult?" said little Sique.

"Yes."

Seeing this scene, Su Mingan couldn't help but think of the animation called "Shugo Chara" that Yueyue had watched with him. The setting in it was that only children had elves, and when they grew up and had no dreams, they would gradually disappear.

This time point should be the period of the Second Era, when science was killed and the concept of Creators just appeared. Si Que didn't know if he was the first Creator, but he should be one of the earliest.

Si Que has just acquired the power of creation, and he is able to "create life", something that even C-level creators find difficult to do. This is enough to show how high his spirituality is.

Su Mingan's feather pen was lying in his backpack, but he didn't take it out. Now was not the right time to rewrite.

He wanted to see how Si Que changed from a cute child to a guy with a lot of emotional debts.

hold on……

……

[Act 5: The Greedy Monster]

[After Siyi appeared, Xiao Sique concealed her identity and only said that she was his sister. ]

[At night, Qiao came to Xiao Si Que's room and met him face to face.]

[The kerosene lamp lights up, and Qiao says: "You have very precious qualities - the whimsical ideas of a child and the relaxation of an adult, which enables you to write excellent stories. But you have to understand that everyone will eventually become a 'mature hero', whether you want to be one or not."]

[“Why?” Little Si Que picked up the black tea—this was the black tea he had just prepared for himself, with the purple incense aroma he liked: “I just want to be a magpie who writes poems every day. It’s very free. I don’t want to shoulder any heavy responsibilities.”]

【“Because everyone faces a monster.” Bridge said:】

[“It will appear when you are about sixteen or seventeen years old, gnawing at your precious heart of gold, taking away the candy in your jar, and taking away the joy that you can jump for joy because of a paper star. You will be gnawed into dull and steady, and it will be difficult for you to feel excited and feel tired all day long.”]

[“You will start to feel a heavy feeling on your shoulders… This is because the monster has bitten off the colorful hydrogen balloons on your shoulders, and the balloons can no longer carry you to fly.”]

[“You will feel your feet become very heavy, and you will begin to be bound by gravity, forced to walk on the ground. You will begin to worry about the illness of your loved ones, the weight of the bread, and the books and brave rules piled on the table. You will no longer have the leisure to write, and what will restrict you will be life.”]

[“When you feel completely exhausted and put down your pen, Siyi and everything you have written will disappear.”]

【Little Si Que seemed to understand: "You mean, you want me to become a boring adult."】

【Qiao shook his head: "No. What I mean is... Si Que, I don't ask you to be a warrior, but you can't lie on the treetops all day. You see, Grandma Martha is very old, Uncle Raman can no longer hunt, and the children have started to pick up hammers and shotguns. Everyone's roles have begun to change."】

[“The flames of war have already begun. I heard that a war called the ‘War of Independence’ is brewing recently.”]

[“In order to protect everyone, are you willing to change from being a ‘child’ to being a reliable ‘adult’ and go with me to the royal city? I can provide shelter for everyone in the village and let them leave this dangerous village. Otherwise, sooner or later, the flames of war will spread here.”]

[“I don’t ask you to become a boring adult, Si Que. Your spiritual energy is enough for you to become a very interesting adult.”]

[Xiao Si Que did not object to this proposal, but rather than protecting everyone in the village, the reason he agreed was that he felt that going to the royal city was a good adventure material.]

[“Then, you must say goodbye to Siyi.” Qiao said: “The story you wrote, “The White Gauze Skirt in the Floating City”, cannot be brought into the royal city. Siyi can only stay here.”]

【“Why?” Little Si Que didn’t understand. 】

【Qiao said:】

[“Because this kind of subject matter involving the body below the neck and the reproduction of men and women is too conflicting, it cannot pass the review.”]

[“So, you can’t bring it into the royal city. The World Tree won’t like it.”]

……

That night, little Sique heard a lot of crying.

It's not his own, nor Siyi's, but perhaps it comes from the blank paper, from the characters that have not yet appeared.

Just because of this "failure to pass the review" reason, they can no longer appear.

……

[Act 6. White]

[He listened to the laughter on the white paper... until the laughter gradually turned into crying.]

[“It turns out that becoming the most powerful hero is useless.” The boy suddenly understood. ]

[Because their enemy is not the Demon King at all. ]
