Bird: K of Green

slices of grapes out of the stack.elf.Bonfires and songs.Toast with jam.cherries.The gurgling water under the ice skin.Sunshine, stones, lilies.The sound of insects crawling.The house, the dirt, the whole world.Cats, birds, and the morning sun.

This is life, he kept thinking, calculating and contemplating in his mind, even a little eager to jump to the future in the next second.But back to the moment, he just raised his head and rubbed Zi's collarbone again, never mentioning what happened just now.

"Zi, help me find Mr. Pan back."

Everyone has a part that has to be coerced by the times.

At four o'clock in the morning, Munakata stood in the middle of the deserted dojo.

People behave submissively or struggle in the turbulent waves, nothing more than to protect the innermost point and the most unwilling to give up.In this respect, "Wang" is not only no better than ordinary people, but even more difficult.

——But I will definitely protect it for you.

Zong Xiang opened his eyes abruptly.Sirius' raised sword was cold in patches under the dim yellow environment of the dojo, and reflected in his eyes, making his eyes turn blue with cold.Outside the window is the dark night before dawn, and there are no heroes in the night.However, no matter how thick the fog is, I can sweep it away.With a sound, Sirius was nailed into the stake like flying.Zongxiang stepped forward, pulled it out with his backhand, and put it back into the sheath, leaving a hole in the wooden heart alone.

There was movement around, and he looked around, only to see the dead tree by the window stretching its branches, withered and messy.The wind blew through them and hit his body. His clothes were thin, and his lips trembled from the cold.Suddenly he felt someone standing behind the wind, and a kind of joy that disturbed the tension passed through every cell of him. "Is that you—" He muttered and stared at a certain place, not really expecting to get an answer, just as he never imagined that he could get it back.

For the dead person, Munakata only waited calmly.The reason why he is so calm is because he knows that this waiting is not indefinite, and the deadline will come sooner or later, so there is no need to worry.

Some branches were drawn into new arcs by the wind, bent, broken, and flew away before they landed in time.

——I am not a hero, but I will definitely protect you.

His expression was completely ashamed, and his legs felt a little numb after standing for a long time.He found that he could no longer remember the person in the flames... He obviously paid attention to many things and kept some details, such as the provocative lips and teeth, the angle of the raised eyebrows, and the color of the irises. However, he could no longer Use these to piece together a complete person.

——I gradually forgot you, and finally your voice and smile disappeared, and the first half of my life also ended; I am not a hero, but I will definitely protect you.

It seemed to him that it had never been so cold.

Sleepless nights are long, fatigue is long, foolish life is long, and there is no way to know the right way.Hmph, Munakata closed his eyes, darkness is light that people cannot see, and the darkness before dawn is the darkest.And now we are still letting time pass, and the dawn will never come.

It's okay, it's okay... He doesn't know who he wants to bring comfort to.I don't need to go to the wilderness to save the world, all I have to do is to keep myself awake all the time.If even I am asleep, who will walk on the right path?The dawn will come only when I am awake.There must be a new dawn, Zhou Fang.

Munakata looked at the faint and distant morning star.It was almost dawn.After dawn, he either signed a letter of resignation, or told a big lie.

These days, Scepter4’s situation is bleak, and it’s almost disgusting like a pigsty. Yesterday morning’s protests brought this farce caused by heated discussions on the Internet to the climax, and all the bright coats, including the government’s credibility, were trampled to pieces.

Obviously, the dissatisfaction of the people has been hidden for a long time, and the slate is just the front line. The starting point of each group that came to make trouble is different. Most people want to use this incident to achieve the long-planned purpose within the group.They are not afraid, one is that they have nothing to lose, and the other is that someone backs them up.Munakata knew that many of the backers were members of parliament who had submitted proposals at this year's cabinet meeting and were rejected. These people secretly colluded with people from all walks of life for only one reason, which was to force Munakata Reishi to step down.

A cat spends its life catching mice, but when it's done catching, it can't feed itself.In the end, it is always the people who are used, or is it just the people who are used?Zongxiang sighed, he gambled on his status as the King of Green, he would never give anyone who took the opportunity to make trouble, nor would he let the bullheads of the cabinet succeed, and he would find out and kill the culprit.He knew that Bishuiliu wanted to mobilize the power of the masses to overthrow him like he overthrew the feudal dynasty, and Bishuiliu felt that he would never violate his conscience in the face of the masses.He did as expected.

However, you seem to need flexibility more than conscience now.

——This is what the Silver King meant.

Yesterday afternoon, the three kings made a video call to discuss countermeasures, and Xiaobai suddenly said something irrelevant.Xiaobai said: "I have been in the sky for 70 years, and the most useful thing I have learned after thinking about it is to look at the surroundings with humorous eyes."

Zongxiang adjusted his glasses, and Anna frowned. No one knew why the first king suddenly said such a sentence.

Xiaobai smiled and said: "I don't want to endlessly admire and explore the power of the slate, or to fulfill any dreams, so there is nothing that can become a burden in my heart. In fact, whether it is Bishui or Mr. Munakata, you are all I believed in that stone too much. When I think about it now, it is nothing more than a stone. The funny thing is that neither me and the lieutenant back then, nor you today, nor the people who suddenly learned of its existence, didn’t realize it Some people insist on it and believe in it, some people make their dreams expand because of it, and some people," Xiaobai looked at Munakata, "because it promotes vanity and arrogance. However, if we want to live a good life, do we really need this stone? No. The Dresden slate can indeed make the human body more powerful, but it has nothing to do with whether people are happy or not. It is better than water to liberate the power of the slate to transform and allow mankind to evolve as a whole, but his lofty pursuit of the slate, on the contrary destroying him. He thought everyone wanted powers, and he used that to incite the masses—and he did. But is it really powers that people really want? No, with a little empathy, people What I really desire is a healthier and better life. Talents, abilities, etc. are just tools to achieve it. Now the masses are like me, and their hearts are deceived. I want to tell them that it is not because they have slates that they are extraordinary and powerful, nor are they Extraordinary strength leads to a better life.”

"I agree with Xiaobai. People are beautiful because of their limitations. It is because everyone has ordinary and weak points that they come together, form a bond, and are indestructible." Anna said.

"And then?" Munakata asked, feeling that the Silver King had said a lot of nonsense.

Xiaobai stretched out his finger and nodded his chin, "Mr. Munakata, you have restricted yourself too much, and you want to solve the chaos and maintain justice, and you don't want to go against the conscience of the people, but the people with your conscience can't hear you, and you want to instill rigidity in the people." Cognition, which is good, but they also can't hear. They just want to achieve their wishes, which is also the way to control people's hearts than water."

Munakata and Anna waited for the First King to continue his tirade.

"The fifth royal power corresponds to change, and Bishui will spare no effort to achieve the goal of change. I admit that the world needs to change, but it needs to be promoted slowly. He can't stand it as a people who is so fierce." Xiaobai pondered for a while, then said "Existence is reasonable. Every kind of kingship has its meaning since it exists. Don't we also work hard to implement our own kingship? So it's not that Bishui's kingship is wrong, it can only be said that his actions are too extreme. His biggest His fault is to instigate others to commit crimes. Fate is so humorous, including us kings are all pawns of fate. We are trying every step of the way to make the world evolve. If he didn’t push him with evil intentions, I might still be in the sky, let’s go too. It is not possible to come together and do something to promote the development of the world. So I have been thinking about whether I can find him to open up a path that can not only promote progress but also ensure a gentle process. Do your duty and guide the slate that caused the dispute into the right path."

"Impossible." Munakata said, "I understand what you mean. Before someone launches a violent revolution, first carry out reforms from top to bottom in an attempt to alleviate social conflicts. Maybe you can recruit Bi Shui Liu. But no matter how you change , the slate power must not be widely popularized."

"So I said you are too stubborn, Mr. Munakata, you think humorously and casually. In this situation, people hope that the government will have an explanation for the slate, and they want to achieve other goals. People It’s better to ask for something than nothing, why can’t we imitate Bishui and make people’s wishes come true, a little reassurance is better than nothing.” Xiaobai smiled wryly, “I really hope to convey my thoughts to Bishui, how much With the idea of ​​appeasing him, of course, I know that it is very remote. But leaving him alone is dangerous; catching him is a pity for his talent; if you kill him, who will bear the burden of killing the king? Bear it? Mr. Munakata, lieutenant, no, the King of Gold is gone, we can no longer live without you."

But I was about to kill him, and I had to deal with this thing thoroughly.Munakata remained silent.

Anna was a little hesitant, but she opened her mouth anyway, "Liji, I think what Xiaobai said makes sense. No one wants to fight. There is a smooth path right now. You can walk around and see."

"I have been in the sky for 70 years, and I don't want to escape any more, and there is nothing that can hurt me." Xiaobai pursed his lips, "So tomorrow I will attend the press conference with you."

"This joke is quite funny, King of Silver." Zong
