Lost Narrative Poetry

Comic show venue.

People were coming and going, it was bustling and lively.

The works in various exhibitions, peripherals, fans, and the quality of the cosplayers are inevitably somewhat uneven, but they all work very hard. These are all highlights... but Miss Ouyang obviously does not understand how to appreciate this kind of work that she has never done before. Advanced culture that I have come into contact with——

"Teacher, these people... are they dancing?"

Looking around the venue with interest, the girl in palace dress felt a little dazzled. Her eyes passed over the people in "fancy clothes". After thinking about it, she turned back curiously and asked.

"Master of dancing..." Xia Ran shook his eyebrows, although he knew that his students would definitely ask some strange questions.

However, this is actually a little too subtle.

"Yes, just like the Dragon Boat Festival, in many places there will be people dressing up as Zhong Kui to fight ghosts. They are all wearing costumes, masks, and makeup..." Miss Ouyang nodded repeatedly, feeling that she had found the key pattern. That's obviously what happened.

You can tell at a glance. It seems that this new world still has rules to follow. She will definitely be able to adapt to this world quickly!

"Well, purely from the perspective of acting, your idea is correct... they are indeed playing certain roles." The magician raised his index finger and gently scratched his cheek, thinking carefully about his words and trying to explain this clearly. thing.

But this seems a bit troublesome, after all, it is not something that can be said in one or two sentences.

"Why is there no Gundam..."

The blue and white miko lady next to her looked a little lost because she couldn't find a stall with themes about giant robots, or should I say, let alone giant robots, there weren't even any booths about robots.

"Even I know that the subject of robots has long been out of fashion in the outside world..." Kaguya Horaiyama said next to Sanae in Dongfeng Valley. After thinking about it for a while, she felt that this was actually a matter of course. .

After all, even the cosplayers at the comic show didn’t see anyone going to the cosplay machine...

Cute, handsome, pretty, cute...

These are the so-called popularity that people pursue, and they can just set off the charm of the Cosplayers themselves. It can be said that they complement each other. As for the machine bumps and so on...that's really haha.

"How come? Is there anyone who doesn't like robots?"

Sanae Dongfengya opened her eyes wide and looked in disbelief. She couldn't imagine that someone could resist the charm of such a beautiful thing——

"And wasn't this theme very popular in the past? Robots fighting robots, robots fighting monsters, robots fighting people... Could it be that there really are no such elements at all now?"

"It's not like there's nothing left at all. There should still be elements like this, for example, people fighting robots. Do you want to see it?"

Horaishan Kaguya thought for a moment and answered firmly, telling the miko that the robot theme will not die, but will wither.

"How could this happen..." Sanae's eyes suddenly widened. She seemed to become even more angry and unable to accept it. "It's a heresy to disassemble a phone with bare hands! I will never accept this kind of cult!"

"..."

"..."

"Yes, yes..."

Probably because at this moment, the aura of the miko lady was so intimidating that the princess couldn't help but flinch a little, took half a step back, and laughed a little shyly.

Why do you feel that Miss Feng Zhu has such a firm belief in robots, even more firm than the two gods in her family? Could it be said that this is the main reason for the crisis of faith in Moriya Shrine?

After all, even my own witches don’t have strong enough faith, so how can they have higher demands on ordinary believers?

And it’s obvious that you, Sanae-san, will be able to disassemble the phone with your bare hands...

Not just yourself, but the entire shrine behind you, any member of the entire "sect" can dismantle the phone with bare hands!

"Then let's just look around. There's no need to insist on seeing the giant robot. After all, today we are going to take Miss Ouyang to learn about the characteristics of this world, not to come here specifically to play at the Comic Exhibition..." His eyes wandered, The princess changed the subject.

She is a very rational person, so naturally she will not argue with the stubborn Sanae at this time, so she can only change the subject.

"Eh? That's right, I almost didn't think of it..." Dongfeng Gu Sanae was stunned for a moment, and then she realized that the point was not that at all. Her cheeks immediately turned red. She was originally angry because she heard the unforgivable heresy. , and instantly cooled down as if a basin of cold water was poured on his face.

How can I put it, it's a bit shameful.

He had obviously promised to accompany Miss Ouyang to visit Chiba City. After all, he was the one who was most familiar with this city, so he still volunteered to help.

But for some unknown reason, she accidentally ended up on the wrong floor, and she started exchanging preferences with Princess Kaguya and preparing to make a pilgrimage to the comic exhibition... It was so embarrassing! How could it become like this?

Sanae-san felt that she must have made a mistake, and immediately decided to make up for it. She was like this sometimes, she would do something immediately when she thought of something, so she seemed to be very strange sometimes.

Just like now, she ran to Ouyang Mingzhu's side: "Miss Ouyang, I'm sorry, I almost forgot you..."

"Dong, Dongfeng Valley girl?" Fairy Mingxiu, who was listening to her teacher's explanation, subconsciously turned her head to look at the shy girl. After a moment of hesitation, she said the name that still seemed a bit difficult to pronounce.

"Whatever do you want to see, I will take you there now..."

"Hey, wait, wait, girl from Dongfeng Valley, I..."

Caught off guard, perhaps out of compensatory psychology, Sanae Dongfengya burst out with 200% enthusiasm. Without thinking too much, she grabbed Miss Ouyang's wrist without any explanation and dragged the latter away. .

"Etc., etc……"

"..."

"..."

The magician, who was still explaining carefully to his students, looked at the two people walking away and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then he laughed out loud.

How can I put it, Sanae is still a tiger after all.

But this is just her good intention. Sometimes this girl seems to be stubborn and there is nothing she can do about it.

"Let's go faster, Your Highness Princess..." He suggested to Horaishan Kaguya, and Xia Ran wanted to speed up and catch up, although he also believed that Sanae must be measured, or should be said to be the strongest among everyone at the moment. The one you can trust.

More trustworthy than himself.

But, he was not afraid of ten thousand, but he was afraid of the worst. He still wanted to watch, lest his three good students encounter those bad things...

"What's there to be afraid of? Your good disciple is already over a thousand years old this year. Do you really still regard her as a child..." The princess was a little reluctant. She didn't look at Xia Xia at all. Ran, but his eyes had begun to patrol the nearby stalls.

She is here to play, not to be a nanny.

And why should this person be so overprotective of his students! If you are already over a thousand years old, do you still need to be so cautious?

"Even if she is a thousand years old, in my eyes she is still the same girl she was back then..." Xia Ran coughed slightly and said seriously, "Princess, people like you won't understand. After all, relative to you To me, we are all still very immature young people..."

"Stop, stop, stop! If you keep talking, I will get angry..."

The frowning girl stared at him with an indifferent gaze, "What does it mean to be a person like me? Compared with me, you are still young people. Am I very young?"

"Your Highness, Princess, said this yourself. I never said this word..." The magician blinked, "I am just stating an objective fact, that is to say, from an objective level, Your Highness, Princess, is indeed of age." Than us..."

"I am only...sixteen years old this year." Interrupting the person's words coldly, Horaishan Kaguya told the truth in an unquestionable tone.

Yes, this is the fact, it has to be true if it is not true.

"The reason why you paused is to avoid a collision with Zi? If you don't say seventeen years old, just say sixteen years old, does it mean you are younger?" The magician said that he had seen through everything, "And right now Ten minutes ago, Your Highness Princess, you told me that there will be no major events in Eternal Pavilion for 1,300 years..."

"That is definitely your mental hallucination."

The girl said calmly, treating this incident as nothing happened and directly blaming it on the magician's own illness.

"..."

"..."

"Maybe, I still have to watch the two of them..." Xia Ran realized that he was stupid and actually tried to reason with the woman. He glanced ahead and saw the figures of Dongfeng Valley Sanae and Miss Ouyang. Already obscured by the hustle and bustle of other people.

He turned around and walked forward, waving his hand.

Mianyue Yiji, who had been silent all the time, although they still maintained a cold expression, turned their eyes. The sassy girl with purple hair and single ponytail pulled her sister, who always smiled gently, and Gotta keep up.

The opportunity has come.

"Hey, you guy, we have agreed, do you still want to eat both sides?" Horaishan Kaguya was very dissatisfied and directly reached out to grab the magician's clothes.

"Huh?"

The next moment, she noticed that the man's body swayed, as if he had staggered and lost his balance, and fell backwards, towards her direction...

at the same time.

The other side.

"Are you interested in these, Miss Ouyang? Do you want to buy some figurine peripherals or something like that?"

Sanae Dongfenggu, who was dragging Ouyang Mingzhu in front, was very enthusiastic about selling any products she saw along the way, of course the normal ones.

"No, no need, I have no interest in these... these..." Miss Ouyang really felt that she couldn't laugh or cry. This girl was too enthusiastic, and her hands were too strong, so she dragged herself here without any explanation. here.

She looked at the publications, figures and various peripherals on the stalls around her, and for a moment she felt like she couldn't see them.

It was too flashy, and many of the things were very novel to her. She didn’t even know what they were or what they did. Naturally, she wouldn’t say that she would just buy them first and then talk about it. .

"Hey, don't you want it?" Sanae Dongfenggu didn't think too much. She looked around and quickly found a new target, "What about this, take a look..."

"No, no, no, no need...it's really not necessary."

Miss Ouyang smiled bitterly, trying hard to express her rejection, but she also hoped to be tactful so as not to hurt the other party's good intentions.

Sometimes it is like this. Rejecting the kindness of a friend is more tiring... and troublesome than dealing with the malice of an enemy.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the distance behind the two of them.

The two girls looked back subconsciously in confusion, and found what seemed to be a small commotion in the corner of the venue where they and others had just come. Many people were screaming, and some people were rushing over there, but after hearing this, The sound didn't seem to be a particularly urgent matter.

Because many people were making envious sounds and even whistling, it seemed that most of them were watching the excitement rather than panicking and commotion.

…

…

what's going on?

The last thought flashed through his mind, and Xia Ran almost instinctively remembered what happened before Qingming. It seemed that just when Kaguya reached out to pull her, she lost her balance and fell.

Because at that moment, he suddenly couldn't feel anything. Some sleeping emotions emerged from the depths of his existence, tearing open a small gap, slowly pouring out bit by bit, and finally turned into a blur. The ambiguous echo.

It is as if the future and the past are separated, in a long unreal dream, as if the invisible shell is breaking, the invisible skin is peeling off, and "something" has regrouped the will.

His first reaction was...

Mephala.

But then, it was discovered that this was not the case.

It was as if he had had a long, long dream.

Familiar yet strange, it seems that I have had such an experience before, but... shouldn't it be a dream?

As the bells rang out and the pure white color spread, time seemed to have lost its meaning. There seemed to be vague sounds coming from my ears, as if the ancient bells were ringing. I could no longer feel the heat and cold. He was surrounded by endless pure white, taking his consciousness beyond time and space to an infinitely vast world.

Countless blurs of light and shadow flashed by, and countless people's noisy voices overlapped. There were many, many, and everything became extremely chaotic, almost like a buzzing bee.

It's like the TVs and radios placed in the shopping mall are playing the contents of countless different channels at the same time. Because they are intermingled with each other, everything becomes confusing. However, if you distinguish them carefully, how much can they tell? Some fragmented messages could be discerned from the buzzing noise.

It seemed like an auditory hallucination coming from my mind, or like a vibration coming back from the end of time, coming from a very far away place, or like it was always surrounding me.

…………

"Your worries are unnecessary... and you won't be alone in the future."

It seemed like someone was whispering to me softly.

…………

"Our King has been crowned!!"

There seemed to be countless people shouting praises and cheering wildly.

…………

"The truth of words, the tranquility of heart, rise and drink your light. For you are yesterday, today and tomorrow."

There seemed to be countless priests singing hymns of praise.

…………

There are many, many more, like roars on a vast battlefield, like curses uttered by a dying man struggling, like all kinds of prayers, pleas, and wishes. It seems like there are countless voices speaking in unison at this moment. Chant.

In the sky, on the earth, in the distant places of time, in all time and space of the universe, there are countless creations that have not yet been born or have long since died.

He even seemed to hear a particularly clear, familiar yet unfamiliar voice.

It seems familiar, but it's cold, calm and rational, and there seems to be a kind of courage that seems to be taken for granted in the indifference——

"I came from the end, I have no nostalgia, I just stop here."

"The gate of paradise slowly opens due to my knocking. From now on, I will show the most wonderful and incomparably bright road in front of you."

"I am Alpha, I am Omega, I am the First, I am the Last! The Almighty, who was, who was, and who is to come."

"..."

In an instant, the thoughts that had just become clear became blurry again, and all the noise in Xia Ran's mind stopped.

Or should I say, it was more messy, and this time he could no longer distinguish any useful information from it.

The vision in front of him was blurry. The rose-red eyes and eager voice of Horaishan Kaguya were right in front of him, but they seemed to be going away little by little, and finally turned into eternal silence, as if the whole world was far away from him. And gone, no longer real or real.

Like a long sleep, he opened his eyes again.

The dark night was like ink that was too sticky to melt away. There was a large iron bridge next to the river, about 150 meters long, and there was not a single car on the bridge. The simple steel bridge has no lighting and is completely integrated into the eerie darkness like the sea at night.

Under the illumination of the moonlight, the three spiral blades of the power-generating windmills that can be seen everywhere are emitting a strange light like the tears of a single aristocrat under the interplay of the blue-white moonlight and the night lights of the urban area not far away.

A strange yet familiar city.

"...Dream?"

Reaching out to hold down his still dizzy head, the magician murmured to himself.

At this moment, he couldn't tell whether what was happening in front of him was real or some kind of hallucination or dream.

Have you traveled through time? Or something happened? He had a way to make sure.

Xia Ran opened her properties panel and saw a completely unfamiliar page——

[No.]: 666

[Race]: Human (no bloodline physical enhancement)

[Attributes]: Strength 57, Agility 60, Constitution 50, Intelligence 19, Spirit 30, Perception 40

[Skills]: Basic Melee LV15, Swordsmanship Specialization LV7, Two-Handed Weapon Mastery LV3, Mind Eye (pseudo) LV1, Magic Release LV2...

…………

What version of the properties panel is this? And when did you have such a strengthening direction?

Xia Ran watched everything in front of her in silence.
