The magician suddenly "cracked".

With the ripples in the cup, the magician's body was visibly torn apart, head, neck, torso, limbs, and the severed body moved forward, backward, left, and backward.

The edges of the severed part are blurred, and there is a clear demarcation from the surroundings.

Seeing this scene, Zheng Xiu and the orange cat were stunned at the same time. The dog still eats and drinks for nothing, and seems to be accustomed to this scene.

After a while, Zheng Xiu realized that the magician was doing magic, such as "divine body cutting" and the like.

The sky in the garden cracked, and the sunny doll, who had been silently observing the route, was dripping with water underneath. It made a strange cry: "Concentrate on the impact!" ”

With a flash of light, the magician's body returned to its original state, and the white gentleman's glove touched his neck, twisting it hard, and the magician's neck made a crisp click. He tapped the ground with his cane, and the cracked sky returned to its original state in an instant, and the blue sky was clear.

Normal people rely on props to do magic, and this guy probably really cuts his body to do magic.

Zheng Xiu secretly slandered.

"You're late!"

The magician complained to the dripping doll, "Also, you're leaking." ”

Shout.

The cloth clothes of the sunny day doll are clamped tightly, so that it does not leak.

"Sorry, gaffe."

The magician behaved elegantly and put down the teacup. He fell into contemplation and reminiscence, as if he hadn't seen the strange gazes of Zheng Xiu and Annie, and continued the topic just now:

"They who came back from the 'end' have become different."

"They began to attack the 'Paradise' that stood in the center of the Source Sea and was closely related to 'that thing.'"

"They became mad, insane, and will-stop."

"The source sea, which has been calm for a long, long, long time, has made waves again."

"Since then,"

"A new generation has come."

The magician's expression was calm, his hands were spread, and he said helplessly: "In cliché, that generation is called 'Ragnarok'. ”

Zheng Xiu's eyes condensed slightly: "Paradise? ”

Zheng Xiu remembered the "Kingdom of God" created by Fengbei.

Anne opened her mouth wide and said in surprise, "Wait, you said 'paradise'...... Which 'paradise' is it? ”

Anne, on the other hand, remembered something else.

Although Anne and Zheng Xiu didn't think of the same thing, they both paid special attention to the word "paradise".

Kiss~

In Zheng Xiu's clothes, a navigator the size of a palm with flashing small wings came out. Her eyes glistened with tears: "It's 'Xi'...... It's 'Ciel', her authority...... It's 'Paradise', it must be Nozomi, it's her. ”

"Yo!"

The magician saw the elf coming out of Zheng Xiu's clothes, greeted him politely and friendly, and smiled: "No wonder I feel a familiar breath, it turned out to be Ling-'missing'." Ah......h ”

"Ah......" the magician sighed, a grunt in his throat, "I will never forget the screams of tens of millions and the joys and sorrows of billions of people as bubbles bloom on the tip of my tongue, and little by little condense into 'eternal lament' rippling in my mouth." ”

"'Missing' is always so beautiful, whether it's my 'missing' or the 'missing' of sentient beings. It's a shame that you're going backtracking. After you went back, there was never a more stylish existence like you in the Source Sea. ”

The magician nodded at the navigator Wu. For the first time, he took off his top hat, revealing his hairstyle—jet-black, shiny black hair neatly sparsely tipped back and a few strands of hair falling down.

He set his top hat aside, a sign of the magician's respect for the navigator U. From this, the status of Wu in the rivers and lakes before the retrospection can be seen.

"No, it doesn't matter." Wu grabbed Zheng Xiu's collar and floated, and asked anxiously: "What about later!" What happened to 'Nozomi'? What's wrong with them? ”

The magician was silent.

In Xiao Wu's anxious gaze, the magician sighed lightly: "Thinking of the kindness of the past, I should have given you good news." But I'm sorry, but I'm also wondering where 'they' are now. ”

Wu's eyes straightened, and bean-sized tears fell down the dripping, wetting Zheng Xiu's neck. The orange cat pursed her lips and stood on the table with her paws stretched out to wipe away her tears for Xiao Wu.

"'They', along with our 'regimental leader,' disappeared."

"Since then, we've wandered around the Source Sea."

"The war is spreading, and the blue source sea of the past is gradually dyed black."

"As more and more gods and juggernades descend into madness, the boundaries of the four quadrants are inexplicably broken."

"We fled to other quadrants, only to be surprised to find that the other quadrants ended earlier than ours."

"Next door, it's pitch black."

"It's completely polluted."

"Later, we realized that there was a possibility that our regiment commander had gone to the center of 'pollution', the source of 'filth', in the dark source sea."

"And so we arrived in this place of utter filth."

Anne, who was busy wiping Xiao Wu's tears, heard this, and couldn't help but interject: "Wait, that damn bat ......"

The magician's gaze sharpened.

The orange cat shrugged his shoulders and almost gritted his teeth to change his words: "Your regimental leader, who is now unknown to life, after leaving you, was inadvertently discovered by me, and then chased me to the end of the source sea, and came here?" ”

"Yes." The magician nodded: "This great being who was once elegant is now no longer elegant and full of loopholes," the magician replied politely to the orange cat: "During your arduous journey through the Black Source Sea, scavenging, and creation, our people inadvertently noticed that you had the scent left by the head of the regiment and tracked you down, so we began to secretly follow you until, on that night, we made official contact with him. ”

The magician pointed at Zheng Xiu.

"I realized that you are most likely the clues deliberately left by the regimental commander, our regimental commander never does useless things, and her victory in that game shows that our great regimental commander's calculations are incomparably far-reaching. Since she was the only victor in that game, the clue she left on you must have a layout that we can't understand. ”

"Meow meow, that's hard to say." The orange cat scoffed disdainfully, she had tried hard to suppress her hatred for the Lord of Nightmares. Anne remembered the scene when the great Lord of Nightmares grabbed a bottle and licked it around, and the hatred in her heart disappeared somewhat, and she covered her mouth and snickered.

Zheng Xiu understands the orange cat, and if he continues to talk about it, he will offend the magician to death, such as "deserved", "stupid nightmare master", "scum" and the like.

He can understand that even if Anne is in the golden age of domination and god outbreak, after all, she is also the master, the group that belongs to the top of the food chain among billions of living beings, with infinite scenery and freedom, but later she was chased and killed to cross the quadrant, reduced to this, alone in the lonely night hiding in an unknown corner licking bloody scars, picking up garbage and staying up all night, miserable. It's all thanks to the legendary Lord of Nightmares.

This is a "grudge that blocks the way", which is normal. So Zheng Xiucai hurriedly slapped the orange cat's head, and circled it three times on the left and three times on the right. Anne understood what Zheng Xiu meant, restrained a little, and held her paws sullenly without squeaking.

"But,"

After Zheng Xiu pressed the loophole that was about to move, he thought for a moment, raised two fingers, and asked calmly, "I have two questions. ”

"One, why do the Lord and God that you speak of become mad after returning from the 'end'? It doesn't make sense. ”

"Second, you said that the 'end' that no one could find at the time suddenly appeared on the route of all gods and masters, and it was within reach. Whatever is in it while you ...... As God, why can you resist the temptation of the 'end'? Didn't you want to go in? ”

The magician smiled and replied, "First, I don't know, because I haven't been there." As for why, that's your second question. There was a moment, without warning, that I felt that I only had to follow a certain course, just a little bit, just a little ......."

The magician's slender fingers, wearing white gloves, pinched with his index finger and thumb, the difference between a fraction of a second, described to Zheng Xiu what it meant to be "a little bit" in this way.

"I will be able to step into the final place that I have longed for for countless epochs."

The magician closed his eyes: "Ah...... There was a moment when my eyes were red and my throat was dry, and I was greedy in front of the mirror like a normal human being. ”

"I want to know what is inside, what is hidden, and why so many lords and gods flock to it."

"I hid myself in a box."

"I cut myself into thousands of pieces."

"Regroup."

"I bind myself with chains that even God cannot break free."

"I resisted, I resisted, I almost went crazy for it."

"I almost, took that step."

"But suddenly, the feeling that attracted me in the dark disappeared."

"I can't go there again."

"I ...... I regret it so much that I regret it in countless brightly lit stage nights, I lose my soul, I regret that I didn't take that step that day. ”

"I seem to have lost my ability to get there forever."

"No,"

The magician said these words in a complex tone: "To be precise, from that moment on, the 'end' was hidden again, and no being has been able to sense it since. ”

"But it's too late." The end is a foregone conclusion, and all things will eventually return to the source sea, and will eventually ...... Backtracking. ”

Bang!

Just as the magician was suffering from gains and losses, a violent shock suddenly sounded in the surrounding space.

The terrible tremors made the lights in the sky of the Magic Kingdom flicker on and off.

"Woohoo!"

The sunny day doll suddenly squirted water excitedly: "We seem to have arrived!" ”

The magician's gaze was slightly fixed, he stopped telling stories, snapped his fingers, and a brilliant curtain of light appeared in the sky. The light curtain is like a movie, showing the terrifying scene outside the world ship.

In an instant, the small garden, including the dogs who had been eating and drinking from beginning to end, held their breath for a moment, and the needles in the garden could be heard.
