Looking up at the stars, Qiu Qiong walked home alone. She asked Jiang Man to take a step first, just because her heart was depressed and she wanted to scatter her heart again.

People are like this sometimes, they have no roots in their hearts, and they feel that they have no direction wherever they go. Unconsciously, Qiu Qiong had come to the northern edge of the town, she looked at the huge town gate, and wanted to go out but didn't have the courage.

Qiu Qiong asked herself, "Where can I go?" ”

Indeed, leaving Lazy Town, away from this place where she just felt a sense of belonging, she had no destination to go to.

When the breeze blew, Qiu Qiong slowly closed her eyes, took a few deep breaths, and the scene in her mind returned to the white-gray Kunlun, back to the top of the cold high-rise building. She gradually raised her hand, and gestured out the set of "invisible and unintentional swordsmanship" casually.

Without a sword in hand, it is better than having a sword. It seems to be invisible and unintentional, but it is actually weird and terrifying. Inadvertently, a wisp of black smoke rose on the tip of her right finger, Qiu Qiong's eyes widened suddenly, and she put down her hand in panic.

"No, it won't!" Qiu Qiong screamed in surprise and shook her right hand vigorously until the wisp of black smoke disappeared completely.

If there were doubts before, then at this moment, Qiu Qiong was extremely sure that the "evil" not only came from the swordsmanship itself, but also from herself.

Qiu Qiong looked at her trembling hands and said nervously: "How can there be 'evil' in me?!" If you were diligent, wouldn't you ......?"

At this moment, in front of the door of an abandoned building not far from Qiu Qiong, a man covered in bandages shouted to her, "Of course he won't do anything to you." ”

Qiu Qiong turned back vigilantly, but saw that it was pitch black in the abandoned building, and there was no human figure in sight. Qiu Qiong took two steps back and shouted, "Who is there!" Sneaky, who is it?! ”

With the faint light, Qiu Qiong saw a figure swaying from side to side in the abandoned building walking towards her. Seeing the man's extremely uncoordinated walking posture, Qiu Qiong immediately recognized who he was.

"It's you, lazy." Qiu Qiong said coldly.

It turned out that Qiu Qiong was distracted all the way, not only came to Zhenbei, but also inadvertently came to the remote research room of laziness.

Gradually, Lazy walked under the street lamp, and Qiu Qiong saw his bandaged body and Mu Ne's expression. Qiu Qiong couldn't help but be taken aback, and even suspected that she was dazzled by the mistake. Because until this moment, Qiu Qiong hadn't forgotten her lazy eyes like an ice pick, even just looking at him would cause severe pain in her eyes. But at this time, the lazy eyes seemed to have been gouged out, and they looked extremely empty.

"It's me. I haven't seen you for a few days, and you seem to have changed. There was not a hint of anger in the lazy tone.

Qiu Qiong sneered, looked back at the north gate of the town, and replied: "This sentence should be said to you." ”

Lazy stared at Qiu Qiong without blinking, her expression became more and more indifferent, and after a long while, she spoke: "Let me ask a boring question, why do you help them?" ”

Qiu Qiong was stunned, and her heart suddenly beat extremely fast. She herself was surprised, because the question was obviously easy to answer: "Because they are my friends." But somehow, she couldn't open her mouth.

Lazy shook his head slightly and sighed, "I don't know how to answer, then I'll help you answer." Because, you feel that they are the party with good intentions, and you are also with good intentions. ”

Qiu Qiong slowly turned her head sideways, stared at Laziness with a confused expression, and said weakly: "Isn't it?" ”

Lazy stretched out his hands with great effort, and replied in a flat tone: "You have always thought that you are a great good person, right? But just now, the power flowing in your body is extremely black and evil. It seems that it is not the same as you imagined yourself. ”

Qiu Qiong hurriedly waved her hand and whispered, "No, it's not." If there was an evil force in my body, then I was ...... All that comes into your body is white light, and it is all the power of good! What's in you, what's in your body, is evil! ”

Lazy sighed and said in a deep voice: "Yes, diligence is indeed 'good', and I am indeed 'evil'. But, you, do you have that clear share? There is good and evil in people's hearts, and good people may hide evil in their hearts, and evil people may not have good in their hearts. And the power surging within you is a combination of good and evil. This means that as powerful you are, you are also dangerous. Be diligent, I must not have told you this. ”

Qiu Qiong panicked in her heart, only to feel a buzzing in her ears, and her brain was extremely inflated, as if it was about to explode in the next moment. Lazy words are like a steel needle, piercing into Qiu Qiong's heart impartially. For a moment, she couldn't accept that there was a power in her body that could turn her into a demon like laziness.

"Tell me, is there any way to get rid of it!"

"Expulsion? Ha ha! Lazy looked up to the sky and laughed, "Little sister, do you think that if a person cuts off half of his heart, can he still live well?" Die of this heart, and the power of evil will always remain in you. And I'm sure that one day, it will find you! ”

"It?! Who is it?! ”

Lazy slowly lowered his head, and a vengeful anger suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Its name is hate." It can erode people's hearts, and then control you, torment you, catch your demons, and make you do countless terrible things. ”

Qiu Qiong was shocked: "Hate? Turns out it has a name! ”

"Of course, it's different from us 'evil' in that we are there to maintain the balance, and it is there to break the balance. I've tried to spy on it, and I've found that it's very ambitious, and now every town is already affected by it. If I have the chance, I'll end it myself! As he spoke, Lazy clenched his fists, for the first time in these days, he had gained strength in his hands.

"Is there any way to defeat it?!"

Lazy was stunned for a moment, rolled his eyes a few times, thought for a long time, and finally shook his head and replied helplessly: "I don't know." ”

Qiu Qiong pursed her lips, glanced lazily in disappointment, and said angrily: "I don't know how much to talk about." ”

"Little sister, the reason why I am talking so much is just to remind you not to underestimate the power of hate. Moreover, just because you got me doesn't mean it's over. ”

"Lazy, what do you mean?! Are you still thinking about making a comeback? ”

At this time, Lazy untied the bandage of his right hand, revealing the mechanical parts between the flesh and skin, and said slowly: "I have paid the price and made a comeback?" I'm afraid I'm reluctant to do that, but others don't. ”

Qiu Qiong was shocked, and asked repeatedly, "Who are the others?!" ”

Lazy shook his head and gave an ambiguous answer: "It's a few other people, you will always know them one by one." ”

Suddenly, there was silence on both sides. At first, Qiu Qiong thought it was her own delusion, but she actually saw a trace of worry and confusion from her lazy expression. After confirming it several times, Qiu Qiong was sure that those emotions were true.

Qiu Qiong looked up at the starry sky, was deeply touched for a while, and sighed: "I can see it, whether it is good or evil, it is essentially the same." ”

Lazy's whole body was shocked, frowned, and said in surprise: "You...... Why? ”

Qiu Qiong spread out her hands and explained lightly: "Because whether it is you or diligent, your strength will directly affect the townspeople. The kindness of diligence makes them always positive and hardworking, but it also makes them always like they have been beaten with chicken blood, tirelessly, regardless of their health. And your evil will make them lazy, but the wisdom of the machine makes their lives convenient and simple, and now they are not afraid of birth, old age, sickness and death. It's just that your evil is a bit too much, and you have made them rely too much on intelligent machines, which has caused them to lose their meaning as human beings. ”

"What 'human beings first', what 'intelligence supreme', if you weren't so stubborn, I think everyone should be a different happy appearance now. Sometimes I really don't understand why you can't just sit down and have a good talk, and let go of your old suspicions, just like before the conflict happened, and devote yourself to making the lives of the townspeople better, so that the townspeople can enjoy the convenience of convenience, while maintaining their own will, wouldn't it be better? ”

“……”

There was silence all around, and Qiu Qiong couldn't help but sneak a glance at Lazy, only to see Lazy's eyes widen and staring at him thoughtfully. Qiu Qiong was suddenly surprised, this was the first time she had seen lazy and calm thinking. If he had said such a thing a few days ago, Qiu Qiong would probably have two cannons on top of her head.

"Ahem, that's just my opinion as a bystander. You...... You don't have to worry about ......."

"No," Lazy blinked after a long time, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and shook his head with a smile, "Your opinion as a bystander tells a lot of facts. I should also recognize the reality. ”

Lazy smiled sincerely, Qiu Qiong felt that this should be the most incredible thing she had encountered in this time.

"Lazy, alas, that day Mo Qingyan questioned Qinqin, saying that he deliberately protected you from allowing revenge seekers to take advantage of it. Diligent said, 'He's my family after all, and I can't let people hurt him.'" This sentence really touched me, and it is also the reason why I saw you today but didn't do it......"

The moonlight shines evenly across the earth, and the streetlights sway back and forth in the wind. Lazy slowly raised his head, learning Qiu Qiong to look at the boundless starry sky, and suddenly, a spark lit up in his heart.

Lazy whispered, "Family...... Family......"

Qiu Qiong hugged herself for a while, and it was a little cold in the desert in the early morning. Qiu Qiong took a long breath and exhaled a cloud of mist, seeing this, Qiu Qiong knew that it was time to go home.

But Qiuqiong was just about to take a step after turning around when a sentence suddenly popped into her mind. She didn't know who said that, but at this moment, she wanted to say it to Lazy.

"The best way to keep yourself from going astray is to rely on the strength of your family, loved ones, and friends to make them the backbone of your soul. As long as the pillars are there, your sky will not fall. ”

After listening to Qiu Qiong's words, Lazy's whole person was stunned. Until Qiu Qiong returned home, he was still standing at the door, maintaining a pensive look.

But suddenly, all the lights in the research room behind Lazy turned on, but he was nowhere to be seen at the door.

Not long after, in the center of Lazy Town, a hysterical shout suddenly came from outside the Diligent Research Room: "Diligent, I know it's wrong, let me help you!" Help you! ”
