Chapter of Abedo's Invitation to Cinnabar

Act [-] Embrace My Blemishes

"--but,"

"Love knows no bounds;"

"If I could embrace everything,"

"That's a clumsy hug,"

"What does it matter?"

What kind of posture does the real "life" exist in this world?

Even if you can simulate temperature, language, and movements, even if you can simulate the flow direction of physiology, emotion, and life, after all...

"—A long time ago, in that kingdom hidden deep in the ground, people showed its glory with wisdom and indomitableness."

"In the godless underground kingdom, natural animal species are quite rare. During the long and dark years, people gradually admired the existence of "life"."

"But hard-working people did not fear or complain about the darkness. On the contrary, they dug out the embers of life from the depths of the darkness, which is also the beginning of a new life."

"This is—"

"The art of giving birth to life, the 'Black Soil Art'."

In the vast black night, only the faintly beating candle can slightly illuminate the yellowed pages of the book.

The cold night will make most people choose to huddle by the stove to enjoy the winter safely, but it can't stop them.

She is a pure alchemist who lives for academic knowledge, and nothing can stop her from exploring the truth.

And he, who was born in the world as her pride, naturally inherited her knowledge, her desire, her pride, and her wish, and vowed to understand all the mysteries and wisdom in the world, in order to turn the "unknown" into Embark on a journey for knowledge.

His life is simple and happy.Some people may call it "monotonous", but he thinks that such a life purely for exploring the truth of the world is the ideal of a scholar.

But why did she show such an expression at the end of the journey?

"This is the original starting point, the end of blowing, and the flaws of your being a "human being"."

She looked at the diamond-shaped imprint on his neck, and her calm eyes were stained with complicated emotions.

He once asked her if she needed to erase it.After all, this matter has been easy for him.

Because she is so pursuing "perfection".

However, she just paused, sighed softly, and shook her head.

"The real "life" is never vivid because of perfection."

"If one day, you understand the "flaw" and truly yearn for life..."

"Don't be afraid of emotions."

"Learn to accept yourself, face yourself—"

"At that time, the last door will open for you."

"If you do find it..."

"Abedo, Abedo?"

Through the petri dish, the scenery outside the bottle is distorted in some indescribable form.The platinum-blonde long hair floated in the icy solvent, overflowing the entire azure blue lake.

After she left, he stayed in Mond.In the past, the quiet and pure life of exploring in the deep realm of secrets, in order to explore knowledge and respond to her expectations, has gradually joined the voices of countless people.

I met the Zephyr Knights, Aunt Alice, Keli, and I met Sugar and Timaus.He treats this fragile world as carefully as possible, choosing to keep an appropriate and friendly distance from others.

There is nothing wrong with it.

When he held the sketchbook, he looked up at the whole piece of snow-pressed green pines, and everything he saw was empty white.

When she was there, he didn't have to think about anything but research.

He didn't give up on research while she was away.

He wants to know the truth about everything.

Most of those unspeakable mysteries were finally resolved after the door appeared.

And he crossed the star sea and the sky because he believed that the final answer might be at the other end of this door.

A white flower bloomed in the snow field that I saw since I was born.

In the snow, she was very peaceful and silent, and just waved slightly to him.But when he wanted to approach her, he was stopped by an invisible barrier.

Only he remained in the boundless paleness.

Just like the old days...

"Abedo?"

He opened his eyes, and the face of the girl in front of him was blurred in the light and shadow.In the cold air, a part of the body seemed to be ripped out, and the scenery was slightly distorted by the flowing ripples, everything was like...

——his first encounter with the world when he passed through the petri dish for the first time.

Is he... asleep?

Before he could react, he heard her asking him softly what was the matter with a flustered and anxious voice.

He frowned and opened his mouth, only to notice a strange strangeness in the corner of his eyes.

Humans, he remembered, called it...

"Sorry," he reacted immediately, and apologized politely at the first time, "I'm a little tired, maybe it's because—"

Before he could finish speaking, the person in front of him made an action that he never expected——

——She didn't ask anything, just hugged him tightly.

"...when it's cold," her voice was muffled, "we'd be close together so that it would be very warm."

Abedo's azure blue pupils slightly widened.

——"It's good that you're fine."

That was the most dangerous mystery they had ever experienced.Numerous self-discipline agencies guarded the dusty secret layer by layer, and the spewing artillery fire showed fury to the tired explorer. At the moment when his life was at stake, he subconsciously rushed over and blocked the attack with his arms abruptly.

At night, she checked him, and after confirming that everything was safe, she hugged him tightly for the first time and said this.

"Master, you should know that I'll be fine." He felt her trembling slightly, and replied with some incomprehension.

She just let go of her hand and stared at him quietly, but didn't speak.

Afterwards, she made a more powerful alchemy creation, and they had never encountered such a danger before, and this incident was sealed in memory together with the past.

After she left, he came to Mond City according to the note she left.After reading the recommendation letter, Alice looked at him with a curious look for a few seconds, and then led him into this lively and noisy world with a smile.

One day, when she hugged her lovely daughter with a gentle smile on her face, Abedo, who had already fully understood the meaning of "hug", couldn't help asking this question.

Alice froze for two seconds, then laughed.Still, after her daily shenanigans, she answered him:

"Because you are that guy's important family member? Seeing that important family members, friends, and partners may be in danger or sad, and want to hug to say "I'm still by your side", isn't it normal? "

"Also, didn't Rhine say anything? Oh, it's her as expected..."

……

- "It's a hug."

She has many, many friends, and treats every friend with enthusiasm and sincerity.

She is a traveler from another world.She does not belong to Teyvat.When he wanted to see her, he even had to take a huge risk.

She does not belong to him.

but……

He came anyway.

That being the case, let him be capricious one last time.

Abedo moved his fingers slightly, raised his hand cautiously, and embraced his flower.

It's ok.

At least I still have this moment.

When you realized what you did, you bounced up like a burnt grass slime, stumbling and apologizing, "That, that, as long as you're fine, haha..."

... It's hard for you to describe your mood, probably you just want to die.

Although you used to rush up to hug your good friend when you saw them sad, but...but it really is too abrupt for Mr. Abedo, right? !

What on earth are you thinking——

But having said that, you have never seen Abedo like that...

After what happened in the mall, Abedo seemed suddenly tired.You think that maybe your battle was successful, but... to be honest, even you yourself don't know what the so-called purpose of the battle is, and you can't tell whether Abedo's current situation has improved or worsened, so you can only hurry go home.

After arriving home, Abedo politely asked him for a quiet room, said that he had some important things to do, and entered the room alone.

You can’t figure it out when you’re in a hurry outside. You’ve gone around several times and held several meetings in your head. After working for a long time, you can’t hold back the [-] words. In the end, you couldn’t help it anymore. You ran over at nine o’clock in the evening and knocked for a long time. No one answered the door.

Speaking of which, Abedo did mention that it was risky for them to come here...

Don't you know that Tianli cross-dimensional law enforcement? !

Thinking of this, you hurriedly searched for a spare key. When you hurriedly opened the door, you saw only the empty room, and the moonlight poured into the room through the cracks in the curtains. Abedo leaned against the corner alone, frowning and fell asleep.

Speaking of which...you really haven't seen Abedo sleeping.

Abedo has always been gentle and calm, with a bit of self-confident calm.He is very powerful, so he has the pride of observing the world and exploring the mysteries.

However, at this time, he looks so fragile and fragile...

……So lonely.

Seeing you bouncing up, Abedo just smiled gently, his blue eyes were as gentle as the deep sea in the night: "Okay, I'm fine. Thank you..." He paused, "Thank you for worrying about me."

Afterwards, he asked you with a normal face if you had dinner and if you needed help, as if nothing had happened, and he was still that calm and elegant scholar.

But... it seems that something is different.

Before you left, Abedo stood in front of the window sill, staring at the moonlight for a long time, but turned his head and looked at you gently: "Tomorrow, can I invite you to go out for a walk?"

You froze for a moment, then nodded quickly.

He smiled slightly: "Thank you. Then, let's rest early today."

Finally calmed down, you tidy up and prepare to do the work that was delayed in the afternoon.Before going to bed, you tossed and turned thinking about where Abedo was going, and fell asleep after thinking about it.

The next day, when you wake up in a daze, you find that the little bird is still pecking your finger affectionately.As usual, Abedo appeared in the kitchen early on, and while frying eggs, he exchanged good morning with you gently.You sit together over breakfast, chatting about news and anecdotes and work progress.

But this time when you were about to go out, Abedo took the initiative to wrap the scarf around you.

Looking at these two 59.9 free shipping scarves, you can't wait to go back and bite yourself.

"Next time, I will definitely choose a nice scarf..." You weakly saved face for yourself.

Abedo's smile seemed to have paused, but he quickly recovered: "I'm looking forward to it."

You thought that Abedo would ask you to go for a walk in a quiet place, but unexpectedly, he chose a shopping street where you can buy new year's goods.

Even in January, when the epidemic and severe winter raged, people still put on masks and went to the streets to buy all kinds of new year's goods.Spring couplets, door gods, window grilles, blessing characters, and all kinds of clay pottery and small toys. The children stumbled and ran around, and the adults picked them up and hugged them.There are all kinds of beings, but the same thing is that everyone's eyebrows and eyes are full of smiles.

Your mood brightened, and you smiled and teased: "Abedo, I didn't expect you to come here!"

"Well, I'm very curious when I heard about your festivals here. It's rare to stay with so many people. It's very lively, even a little noisy," Abedo paused and smiled slightly, "But I don't hate it. It feels like ……very warm."

"Yes!" You happily showed a big smile, "The Spring Festival is for everyone to be together, reunite and be happy, and welcome the new year together!"

"Okay, I'm not good at other things, but these! I can still introduce them!" You smugly pulled Abedo and ran to the first store, "Let's go! Let's buy new year's goods in advance today!"

Shop after shop, amidst the laughter, you secretly checked the information and introduced the cultural connotation of various blessing characters, Spring Festival couplets and window grilles to Abedo in a serious manner.And Abedo didn't expose you in a face-saving manner, and listened carefully, and asked a few questions.

Passing by a shop, he picked up a cute little red pendant on the table with interest: "This one looks like something that Keli would like."

You wave your hand: "Buy! Buy a big one!"

Abedo sighed: "Oh, she also bought a toy like this last year, and then hid it until the Wind and Flower Festival. We didn't know what she hid in it until it blew up the prepared balloon."

You: "...Ahaha, then... then buy a smaller one..." At least the lethality is smaller...

Along the way, you have accumulated a lot of new materials along the way.Abedo was obviously also very interested in this kind of activity, and even drew a sketch for a shop owner. After giving it to the boss, the elated boss stuffed it with several blessings.

In the joy of laughing and returning home with a full load, you ran ahead and suddenly thought of something funny. When you turned around, you found Abedo standing in the world of fireworks, wearing a mask, and watching gently with those blue eyes. you.

"What's the matter, are you tired from walking?" Your heart tightened, and after you realized it, you quickly recovered your smile, and ran over with a smile on your face.

Abedo seemed to see your worry, and looked at you tenderly.

It doesn't matter.Actually, I don't mind who I am.I have become accustomed to how to walk in this world as a "heterogeneous".

But when I'm with you...

I still can't help but wish...

"What's wrong?" The girl cast a worried look.

"It's nothing." He smiled, "It's just that I'm not used to it. I enjoy this atmosphere very much, so don't worry about me."

...I really want you to hear my heartbeat.

She gave him that big, big, brilliant smile he was familiar with.

With such a smile, even if her appearance, voice and even character were different from what he remembered, he could still recognize her.

She said, "Don't worry, after all...we're all 'different', aren't we? "

He was startled, then lowered his eyes and chuckled.

You see, it's okay.

This is the first time I've heard my heartbeat so clearly.

"—Let's go find it."

"Show me the truth of the world, and the meaning of the world—"

"If one day, you also find your own answer,"

"Then..."

She is carefully unlocking it.She has three keys, one house key and two house keys.Every time she looked for the key, she got it wrong at least once.

He naturally knew which key was correct, but it was just out of selfishness, he wanted to see her smile a little embarrassedly after taking the wrong key.

He knew what he should say, but at this moment, he just wanted to stay and watch her open the door quietly like this every day, or wait for her to come back in the room.They know each other, they understand each other—

The boundless white that he has seen since the day he was born was brought to the world by his master.After Master left, it was just a blank and empty snowfield.

However, at some point, because of her existence, that snow field was also full of flowers.

"This key is right." He smiled slightly, stepped forward and reminded softly.

"Ah...hehe, thank you." The girl thanked with some embarrassment.

He chuckled, but didn't enter the room.

"What's wrong?" She looked puzzled.

"It's time to say goodbye." He took a shallow breath.

Irrationality is an emotion that "perfection" does not need.

But it is also the flaw of being a "human".

Just... please let me be selfish one last time.

He opened his arms and hugged his flower gently.

This is farewell, but not the end.

Because you are my last gardener.

"I have a present that I want to give you." Abedo let go of his hand, took half a step back and smiled at you who was completely dazed, and clapped his hands, "It's almost time."

You saw the space behind Abedo slightly distorted, and then a familiar, floating little guy with a crying voice smashed into your arms——

"Pai, Paimon?"

"Traveler! Traveler! You said you won't find me, are you really not looking for me? Have you forgotten my best partner!"

"How come! Paimon, we bought a lot of delicious food, and I'll give it to you later..."

"Hmph, it's almost..."

Abedo looked at the girl's surprised expression, and his face softened.

She likes to be lively and lively, and likes to be round and round, not lonely and cold snow-capped mountains.

He can't do that now, but if he can use the knowledge taught by his master to bring her a smile...

Master, this is what you want me to pursue.

Did you see it?

He smiled slightly, and was about to turn around and leave. Suddenly, her voice came again, and he stopped subconsciously.

"Abedo," she hugged Paimon, her voice choked with sobs, but she showed a big smile, "Abedo, your heart is beating."

"Black soil" is the etymology of alchemy, and it is also the original state.

"Chalk" is the beginning of change.Extracted from impurities, ready to receive all knowledge, is the stuff of the original man.

"Red Cheng" is the refinement of emotion.Most alchemical creations can only be displayed during the refining process, which is the warmth from the heart and the red color of "chalk".

"Gold" is the final stage of alchemy.The imprisoned man embraces his flaws, the worthless find their meaning at last and transform into gold.

Master, have you seen it?

I have finally found my own meaning.

The author says:

The chapter of Cinnabar is over!

I got stuck on Wen for a day today, scrapped thousands of words of manuscripts, and finally chose this ending.

Cinnabar, the substance's four color variations, alludes to the four stages of alchemy.The starting point of this chapter is also "Abedo is looking for the ultimate meaning", and "Please embrace my flaws" is my answer.

Therefore, I chose a lot of stream-of-consciousness writing, which may be a bit messy (laughs), thank you for your forgiveness.

I don't know what everyone's impression is, have you conveyed it well?Everyone's suggestions are very, very important to me.

The Spring Festival is coming soon, the next chapter is the chapter of Spring Festival Special Invitation·Reunion!There is nothing to announce in this chapter. Our goal is to have all characters appear!Have a really big reunion!I am currently writing a manuscript for emergency baldness...
