Chapter Twenty-Three: The Girl and Xiaowei (Part II)
The girl sneered.
"Do you think I'm going to fall for you?" The girl said, with a mocking expression, "My little Wei and I have been exposed to them." Now Xiaowei has suddenly disappeared, and the consequences are completely unimaginable. And ......"
"I promised Xiaowei that I would face the next difficulties with her," the girl said sternly, as if she had not calculated Xiaowei at all, "I will never betray her to you like this...... Demon. ”
The bald starman clapped his hands.
"Amazing," he said slowly, "exactly the same reaction as Miss Douglas." ”
"What!" The girl was horrified.
"Come out, Victoria Douglas." The bald starman turned his head to look at the other chair beside him.
Victoria Douglas suddenly appeared there. It seems that she and the girl are like twin sisters - the height, appearance, and dress are exactly the same.
"Oh my God," the girl wondered, "what is going on?" Why is she here, is she—no, no—no—"
"Pretending to be a plane traveler," Xiaowei looked at the bald starman, "and now you're satisfied." It seems that this otherworldly creature made the same choice as me. Rather than use your demonic hand to destroy each other, we would rather choose temporary symbiosis. ”
The girl's surprise understood.
The Bald Starman separated the two of us and asked each of us if we would like to destroy each other......
A conspiracy of "double killing" -
The girl couldn't help but feel glad that she had made the right choice. Xiaowei...... Also.
The girl walked up to Xiaowei: "What the hell is going on, Xiaowei?" You are...... When did you meet him? ”
Before Xiaowei could answer, the bald man—an alien creature in the eyes of earthlings, a plane traveler in the eyes of a mage—spoke first: "I appeared in front of her the night she decided to run away from home. I promised to help her escape...... And for a small price, she has the potential to gain great power. ”
"But this is the devil's trap!" The girl yelled, "I don't think sharing my body with others is a small price! “
"You and Xiaowei - as long as they cooperate with each other - their strength has increased a lot!" The bald man let out a piercing laugh, "Demon Martial Dual Cultivation, where is the price of this!" What a gift! ”
"Whatever you want, devil," Vicky said with a calm expression, "until I heard the words of this otherworldly creature, I had been wondering if I had made the right choice...... And now I understand. ”
Xiaowei glanced at the girl beside her.
"This otherworldly creature is a nuisance, but at least more trustworthy than you, demon. I'm not going to go back on my old contract, but ...... From now on, I will no longer succumb to any of your suggestions. ”
"'Nasty guy' is superfluous......" the girl muttered. But she also understands that it is not easy for the two people who originally calculated each other to be consistent with the outside world.
"What about you?" Xiaowei asked.
"Me too," the girl cleared her throat, "I understand now...... Bald star, Xiaowei and I are just being toyed with by you. From the very beginning, everything is a game you set ...... But it's game over, Bald Starman. I won't do anything with you anymore, and you won't have to bother calling us anymore. ”
"Well said!" The bald star laughed, "With my help, you have finally learned to assert your opinions!" Very good! He almost burst into tears of laughter, "Then that's the end of it." I think, unlike me, you're very short on time. ”
"Just let us go back?" Xiaowei frowned.
The bald star man put away his smile: "There is only a hard road ahead of you, two. Are you so confident that you can gain the trust of Goth and his fellows? And ......"
"We'll do it." The girl said.
This time, not only the bald star, but even Xiaowei looked at the girl in surprise.
"It's more than that. We're going to unite a lot of power," said the girl, determined to do something to repay Vicky, "I—Vicky has lost, and I'll help her regain it."
"I'll take my mother back for her. If the confident President of the Bundestag dares to stop us – I will defeat him too. I will do my best to let everyone in the world know the name of Victoria Douglas. The girl finished her words in one breath. There was absolute confidence in her voice.
But Xiaowei was frightened.
"I ......"
"This is my ...... Our Responsibility. It's something we have to do. The girl said.
The girl was relieved to see that Xiaowei's eyes gradually became firm. Finally, the two of them set their eyes on the silent bald star.
"Your determination is beyond my imagination......" he said, nodding slightly, "just do it." Perhaps, you can show me what I've been looking for. ”
The music playing on the record player doesn't know when it's changed. From the beautiful waltz "Blue Danube" to the postmodern style "Thus Said Zarathustra". The author of this symphonic poem from Nietzsche shares the same surname as the waltzer, but is not related to him in any way: Strauss is an extremely common surname, as is Zhang Wang Li Zhao.
"Then, I'll send you back." Said the bald starman.
"Finally, there's a question," said the girl, "I'll call you a bald star, and Vicky can call you a mysterious plane traveler or something...... But what exactly do you call it? Can you tell me your real name? ”
"Whatever name you think of can be my real name," the bald star smiled meaningfully, "you can call me 'Snake', or Mephistopheles, or even Nyaratotip. I can be whatever you think I am. ”
"I see. I hope I never see you again...... Devil. ”
In the end, the girl still chose the same name as Xiaowei.
"Wonderful," the bald star exclaimed, "as a reward for your determination, I'll remind you of a word......
"No matter what adversity you face. Never, never, forget who you are. ”
He snapped his fingers. The figures of the two girls disappeared into the room at the same time. In the huge room, only the bald star himself was left. Silence reigned in the room.
Half a day——
"Resolve well," said the bald starman, turning into an hourglass and placing it on the table out of nowhere, the sand leaking down little by little, as if in some kind of countdown, "declare war on the Speaker of the Ocad Federation, the legendary mage Lord of Falcon...... Quite ambitious. ”
"Now the problem is," the bald star muttered to himself, "you ...... And in this world, whether there is still enough 'time'. ”
