Chapter 60: I Have Nothing But It
"Your order is." Xingxi recounted expressionlessly: "By your side, when there are only two people to get along, Xingxi can ignore any orders and do what she wants. ”
"But." Xingxi's bright golden eyes were as calm as a lake: "This is an order given on the premise of an order, and in actual operation, Xingxi can only pretend to ignore any order." ”
She's a weapon that doesn't know her lies and doesn't care about them, so if you ask, she'll be honest with all your questions.
If you had such a sister, would you be happy or angry?
"And." Xingxi looked at Xi Che seriously, and her tone was as quiet and calm as the first snow: "I have nothing but orders. ”
"So, please don't easily deprive me of the only thing I can rely on."
She said it was hard to understand, but Xi Che could still understand her.
Ignoring right and wrong, it has nothing to do with likes and dislikes.
Obedience leads to life, disobedience leads to death.
This is what Dark Star taught her, and then she lived to this point.
There was an order for her to kill her teacher, and those who didn't do it died.
She was ordered to kill her companions, and those who didn't do it died.
There was an order for her to kill anyone who needed to be killed, and those who didn't do it died.
And then she lived to the present.
In a world where there is no ray of light in the dark horrors, obedience is a chain of thorns covered with barbs, and holding it will cause you great pain.
But let go of it, and you're already dead.
And she is the only child who holds that chain to the end in that boundless darkness, even if there are many, many more stable and comfortable chains around her now for her to hold, but she is only willing to believe in the most terrifying one, because only that one has really allowed her to live until now.
And not other chains.
"That's it." Xi Che was silent and then said tiredly: "Don't mention it in front of me in the future, you just have to remember that at least by my side, you are safe." ”
"The guy you know." Xingxi looked at the blonde man, and his tone was light and cold, as if he was using an awl to chisel through the Iron Curtain illusion he used to deceive himself: "She's dead. ”
"I'm just a ghost reborn in her rotten shell."
"So, it doesn't make any sense for you to call me sister."
"My answer is only respect for the commander."
"I don't promise anything because I'm not qualified to commit myself."
"So don't expect anything from me, because I don't have the value of being expected of myself."
Xi Che looked at the girl with a cold and quiet tone, her veins flowed with the blood closest to him in this world, but her heart was thousands of miles away from him.
"But someday." Xi Che smiled instead: "I will let you die in this shell." ”
"If you can do it." Xingxi didn't feel the slightest dissatisfaction, and nodded in response: "Xingxi is grateful. ”
"But you've done so much for me and paid so much price."
"Anything you say to me, I have the potential to paraphrase."
"Anything you command, I can betray."
"I'm standing closest to you, and I could kill you at any moment."
Xingxi clearly told word by word, she disdained lies, so every word she said was a cold reality.
"Even so, you're willing?"
"What I want to do has nothing to do with you!" Xi Che was a little annoyed when he was caught hurting his feet, and roared urgently without the demeanor of an emperor: "Anyway, it has nothing to do with you." ”
Then Xi Che suddenly woke up, looked at Xingxi and suddenly smiled.
Xingxi watched him sit there and laugh for no reason, standing silently until Xi Che stopped laughing and looked at her: "You, are you scared?" ”
"This is the first time in the four years since you and I met again, that you have taken the initiative to say so many things to me."
"Yes, these words of yours are facts that you and I both know well, but with your indifference, why should you say these things to me personally?"
"Unless, you're afraid to develop feelings for me, and then you have to kill me one day."
"I don't know, what it's like to be afraid." Xingxi replied calmly.
"I don't know what my tears look like."
That night two years ago, Xi Che said something similar to her, and she gave a similar answer.
"All I remember is the vague image of you left in your sister's mind."
"But, I'm not your sister."
"The person in your impression and I are completely different beings, we used to share the same body, but she died here, and I was born here."
"Please recognize that."
Xi Che was silent, and then smiled: "Is that so? ”
"Her Royal Highness Princess Xingxi."
She is the most noble princess that can exist in this world, even Ye Qing and Ao Xuehua, she must be ashamed of herself in front of her bloodline and genealogy.
Because her bloodline comes from the Sturt Empire, from the Xiguang clan, and even from the Xingche clan, she has the status of the royal family of these three parties at the same time, even if you look at history, she is the only one.
But since she was a child, she has been cultivated as the strongest weapon in this world, because apart from her, there has never been such a bloodline talent in this world.
That's why she is not Her Royal Highness Princess Xingxi, but the weapon of Dark Star.
At this time, Xi Che called out the title that should have belonged to her but was no longer related to her, and then asked.
"Why are you wearing a veil?"
Why are you wearing a veil?
In addition to creating the beauty of holding the pipa and half-covering her face, the veilers of ordinary women want to cover up their true faces.
But why do weapons wear veils? It is true that she is a rare beauty in the world, but how many people are lucky enough to see her still alive?
"When you take it off, it has the effect of dazzling and fascinating, and in a desperate situation, it can be used to create an opportunity for a sneak attack." Xingxi replied earnestly.
"It's a weapon that never lies." Xi Che nodded and praised: "So subconsciously I already have enough reasons. ”
"I have a second answer here, I wonder if you want to hear it?"
Xingxi had no choice, because Xi Che had already begun to tell: "I once told my young sister such a ghost story, and everyone who was killed would remember the appearance of the person who killed him at the last glance, so that he could turn into a ghost and ask for his life later. ”
"At that time, the younger sister was so frightened that she burst into tears, and then asked me seriously with tears in her eyes, what could I do to prevent it."
"I told her that only by covering your face with a veil or hat to prevent the dead from seeing it, the ghosts will not find you and reincarnate on their own."
"Naturally, this is a trick I used to scare her at that time, and I didn't have the patience when I coaxed her, but I just talked nonsense."
"And then, a long, long time later, when I met you in the Forest of the Dead, I didn't wear this veil."
"However, when you go out on a mission, you wear it whenever you go, and you may have forgotten the feeling of wearing it in the first place, but you are familiar with the feeling."
"Tangible and tangible things, those who can hurt me, can be killed."
"Dead mouth." Xi Che completely grasped the initiative at this time, and said the second thing with a chuckle.
"Then, when you and I met, I was chased and fled into your territory."
"But I never thought that you, as the lord of the Forest of Death, have such a vast territory and refuse all the Heavenly Realm Demonic Beasts to trespass."
"But within your territory, there are so many weak ordinary demonic beasts, and they are only threatened by the minimum amount of hunting."
"Because in your territory, any demonic beast that dares to hunt beyond your appetite will be killed by you."
Xi Che smiled with deep meaning: "A butcher who killed tens of thousands of his own kind with his own hands in the human world for no reason, but he wanted to protect those weak demonic beasts, and forbade all unwarranted hunting. ”
"Everything is reasonable, and it is guided by it." Xingxi replied quietly, "That's where I formed the realm, so I maintained the Heavenly Dao there. ”
"Okay, well, you'll always have a reason to make sense."
Xi Che shook his head and smiled: "That meeting, I asked you, why did you save me." ”
"I'm not going to save people." Dawn replied.
"Yes, yes, you don't save people." Xi Che thought back to the quiet demeanor of the girl at that time.
"It's just that they want to kill it rather than kill me."
"Come now." Xi Che laughed: "It's also a very shy and cute answer." ”
Xingxi was silent.
Xi Che calmly reached out in the chair and stroked the girl's silver hair, which was as soft as evening primrose.
"Stop pretending to be smart and think that I just miss the sister who disappeared for myself."
"I miss her so much, but I like you just as much."
"A cold weapon that kills people without blinking an eye and only obeys orders."
"You think she's dead, but I always think she's alive."
"Even if she doesn't look like what I remember, but being alive is more important than anything else."
"So."
Xi Che stretched out his hand and hugged the unsuspecting Xingxi, not expecting the girl to assassinate him at such a close distance.
He was a tall young man with a skeleton, but Xingxi had been controlled by drugs, and her body shape remained fifteen years old when she had been trained in weapons, so he could easily hold her whole with his open hand.
The girl's body was supposed to be soft and fragrant, but Xingxi stood there straight, even if she was embraced, she didn't bend at all, as if she was holding a heavy sculpture into her arms.
"Since you accidentally took my sister's body." Xi Che whispered in her ear, "Then call me brother obediently." ”
"Yes, this time." Xi Che smiled and decided.
"It's an order."
(Well, the character of Xingxi uses a lot of Ayaami goddess bridges, such as the hanging hand bandage in the opening scene, such as having nothing at this time.)
Because I really like that girl.
Also, Xingxi is not a replica of the goddess in the end, she is just herself. )
