I'm sprouting again

The child's words seemed to be deliberately emphasized, which made Bai Xiao feel a little weird.However, he didn't pay much attention to it, because almost everything he saw and heard here today challenged Bai Xiao's cognition.

But since the children told them to take a closer look, Bai Xiao and Zang Feng walked to the window and carefully looked at the miniature city under the tall buildings.

In front of you is a large floor-to-ceiling panoramic window, which allows people to have an illusion of standing in the sky above the small town.The inn building is located at the back of the small town. The angle here is facing the wishing pool in the square, and the most lively place is also in the field of vision.

The night was already dark, and it was pitch black outside the small town, but the lights in the small town were still gradually increasing and getting brighter.The happy crowd running around with lights in the street merged into a galaxy of lights.

Beauty is beauty, but Bai Xiao and the others are not in the mood to appreciate the beauty.

Bai Xiao looked at the grand scene for a while, and then thought of the question that they had been ignoring all the time. He turned his head and asked the child: "By the way, what is this festival for?"

The child lay on the back of the sofa, staring at the streamer in the small town downstairs, and happily replied: "Today is the birthday of the gods. Of course, this festival is to celebrate the birthdays of the gods."

After a pause, the child changed the subject and said softly, "However, this is also a grand ceremony for the reincarnation of ghosts."

Bai Xiao was taken aback: "Reincarnation?"

He remembered that the child had said the word before.

Seeing Bai Xiao pondering, Zang Feng reminded, "It's the source of the black stone."

Bai Xiao remembered that the child had said before that the black stone was left over from the reincarnation of the ghost.

Bai Xiao frowned slightly. He didn't know why. Although looking at the child, he seemed to be looking forward to this festival, but he felt that this reincarnation was not something that would make people so happy.

The kid here is different from before. He seems to have a strong desire to talk. After hearing that Bai Xiao and the others did not continue the conversation, he said again: "The ceremony starts at night. It's for the birthday of the gods. The festival and the reincarnation of the ghosts will last a whole night!"

After finishing speaking, the child let out a long breath, showing an expression that seemed regretful and relieved, an expression that was not suitable for children.

"This reincarnation must be spectacular, because this is the last time."

the last time?

Both Bai Xiao and Zang Feng were taken aback.Even without using your head, you can hear that this is a key message.

Bai Xiao asked, "What does the last time mean?"

The child turned to look at him. The person who was explaining to himself just now raised his finger to his lips and whispered, "Shhh. Just look at it and you'll know."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head back again, staring intently at the night of the small town outside the window, without moving.

Bai Xiao and Zang Feng looked at each other, both of them looked helpless, they knew that even if they asked, they might not get an answer.So the two also fell silent, and accompanied the child at night.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and the lights were still increasing. Even though he couldn't hear the sound, Bai Xiao could still imagine the lively scene on the street at this time.

Gradually, the full moon rose into the sky, but at this moment, a thin cloud began to cover the edge of the full moon, covering the outline of the full moon, but leaking thin moonlight.

In contrast, the lights of the small town became brighter and brighter.

It was at this time that the lights that were gradually turning on before suddenly stopped increasing.And the lights that were moving around chaotically before now all flowed in one direction.In other words, the people holding lanterns in the small town were heading in the same direction.

The direction they are going is that square.

Countless lights poured into the square from various street corners, not fast but orderly.Soon, the square was as bright as a huge torch, and the "flames" from the surrounding streets were still gathering toward it.

Until the light in the square no longer has a dark gap.

At the same moment when the lights filled the square, all the flowing lights in the small town stopped.It was as if someone had pressed the pause button, and everything in the small town came to a standstill.

Bai Xiao's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but glance at the child, but he saw that the child was still looking downstairs.It's just that the smile on the child's face has disappeared. His expression is a little strange now. He was a little sad in the last second, as if he was about to cry; but in the next second, a smile overflowed from his eyes.

Like crying and laughing, crazy.But looking at it doesn't make people disgusted, but it makes people feel very worried.

"here we go."

As if not aware of Bai Xiao's gaze, the child looked at the lights in the small town and said softly.

start?What to start with?

Bai Xiao was puzzled, but the uneasiness in his heart grew worse.

At this moment, over the entire small town, an ancient and long low-pitched bell rang, filling the silent night.

"Boom—boom——"

The sound is close at hand, it is the wind bell hanging under every corner of the inn building.

There was no wind outside, but the bells continued to ring.

With the ringing of the bell, the paused lights seem to come alive, and they change a frequency: flickering and off, as if breathing; while the bright light in the square, the edge of the Shrinking, it became the beating heart of the city.

"Boom—boom——"

The bells continued and the lights flickered.

This lasted for more than a minute, and then the lights of the small town changed again - I saw strips of light that were as thin as silk slowly being drawn between the flickering lights in the city.

The light was so thin that Bai Xiao didn't notice it at first.But when they are so numerous that they are visible to the naked eye, they have already woven into a net in the street, which cannot be ignored.

All the lights are connected in series by a fine light, and every light—even the lights hanging from the houses, the hanging lanterns also have such light—they are all connected.

Even the ray of light in the square is no exception, the ray of light is weaker than it, but the ray of light overwhelms the ray of light in the square.

When the fine light stopped increasing and the lights stopped flickering, Bai Xiao realized that the city had become a cocoon wrapped in light.

And the heart of this cocoon is the light of the square.

Bai Xiao had a guess in his mind, what's so special about the square?Nature is the stone tree sculpture.

Will that sculpture be the "nucleus" of this world?But what is the purpose of giving them such an obvious reminder?Or is it that the "nucleus" of this world wants to play with them, and it's not a guessing game at all?

Bai Xiao couldn't understand everything in front of him, and his mind was in a mess. All he could do at this moment was stare at the bright light.

After the light was covered, another half a minute passed.Some of the connected lights began to slowly rise into the sky.

These rising lights are like flying Kongming lanterns, slowly, and then after reaching the height of the top floor of the inn, they shatter into countless light dust.The light and dust sprinkled down, but they all merged into the brightness of the square.It seems that countless thin galaxies are paved in the sky.

Because of the similar height, a few lights shattered in front of Bai Xiao's eyes.

Bai Xiao clearly saw that the floating lights were not lanterns.It was a round ball of light the size of a volleyball, translucent and shiny, which reminded Bai Xiao of the guardian spirit in the miracle.

Then the ball of light shattered into light dust, but at the moment of shattering, Bai Xiao noticed that something did not shatter into light dust, but fell straight down.

Bai Xiao didn't know what it was, but after a while, an answer gradually came to his mind.

One light, two lights... One after another.

Soon, only the light in the square remained in the originally brightly lit city.But even the light, after a few flashes, gradually went out.

At this moment, the whole city is like a piece of rough jade that has lost its luster, sinking dimly into the night.

There is no light on the top floor of the inn building, the only light source is the city and the moonlight in the sky.But at this time, not only the light of the city disappeared, but even the moon in the sky disappeared.

The surroundings were pitch black, and the only light source was the child next to Bai Xiao.

It is not accurate to say that the child has become a luminous body, because he is not "shining", but in the dark surroundings, Bai Xiao and Zang Feng can clearly see the existence of the child.

The child was still kneeling at this moment, but tears were streaming down his face.As if he could no longer suppress his sadness, he suddenly buried his face in his arms and burst into tears.

"Boom - woo -"

In his cries, the bell seemed to be whimpering with the wind.

Then the next second, the night receded, and the noon sun suddenly appeared in the sky.

At the same time, the bell stopped.

Bai Xiao was dazzled by the sudden light, turned his head slightly to get used to it, and then looked back.

The small town is still the same as before, and the whole city is heavily made up.But on the clean streets, there are many black stones scattered.Those black stones were only the size of a little finger, and their shapes were irregular, but because there were too many of them, even at such a high position, Bai Xiao could still see their existence.

Bai Xiao sighed in his heart, his previous guess was correct, those balls of light that shattered and fell down were black stones.

Before Bai Xiao could sigh, his eyes caught something, and then he slowly opened his eyes wide.

There were no pedestrians on the street, and it was extremely empty.But gradually, countless "people" came out of the houses in the small town.

They are made of iron, wood, mud, and stone.Each one is of different sizes, shapes, and degrees of completion, just like toys fabricated by children.

They walked up and down the street, carrying baskets, pushing carts, and waving big flags.Although their limbs are a bit stiff, their movements are very rich, just like... the residents of the small city before.

It's just that the black stone that the residents cherished before is lying at their feet at this moment, but they turn a blind eye.

Bai Xiao took a deep breath and turned to look at the child next to him.

"Wow-ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh-"

The child was still wailing, he didn't look at the small town outside, he just focused on venting his emotions.

Bai Xiao looked at the frail figure of the child with a complicated expression - this child is the only "alive" resident in this city.

If you guessed right, he is the god of this world and the "core" of this world.
