"You're here!"

A child-like voice suddenly sounded in Chu Xiangyun's ears, but Chu Xiangyun didn't show surprise, just stared at the ball of light woven by fine spiritual power.

"Why don't you ignore me?" The children's voices became more and more cheerful.

Chu Xiangyun reluctantly turned her head and retracted her gaze, only then did she notice that someone was talking in her ear, and she really didn't find anything when she looked left and right.

"I'm here! Didn't you just keep looking at me? ”

“……”

Chu Xiangyun cast her gaze back to the ball of light, and her expression became fascinated again, but she quickly came to her senses, patted her head in annoyance, and finally turned her head away without politeness.

"Are you...... This ball of light? ”

"No, it's me!"

Chu Xiangyun didn't understand what the difference was, but she didn't ask, she just looked down at her shoes, only in this way could she not be attracted by these spiritual powers.

"Who are you?" She asked the most basic questions.

"Who am I? Who should I say? ”

“……”

The first time Chu Xiangyun met such a difficult conversation, she was silent because she was not very good at words, but the next moment she remembered what Chen Wanjing said.

If you don't know what to say to continue the conversation, you can repeat what the other person said.

So she asked, "Who are you?" ”

The ball of light happily replied, "It's me!" I'm empty! ”

Chu Xiangyun blinked slowly after some unresponsiveness, "Are you hiding the empty building?" ”

One...... A self-aware artifact?

Chu Xiangyun remembered those long-ago legends, no, it shouldn't be said that, because-

"It's me! I'm a machine spirit! ”

Yes, such beings have their own names.

Machine Spirit.

Chu Xiangyun never thought that she would be able to see such an existence with her own eyes, she suppressed her desire to observe in detail, and even bit her finger a little anxiously to calm down, but she still couldn't help but let out a series of questions.

"Are you the machine spirit of the Hidden Empty Building? How were you born? Who is your master? ”

"......" The machine spirit named Kongkong seemed to be knocked down by her question, and suddenly fell silent, and the ball of light stopped shaking.

"You can talk slowly." Chu Xiangyun struggled to come up with a reassuring word.

Kongkong still didn't answer for a long time, and just when Chu Xiangyun was disappointed, the light covering the surface of the light ball suddenly began to flicker again.

"Your words have become so much." There seemed to be a bit of grievance in its tone.

For the first time in her life, Chu Xiangyun was talked about by others a lot, and she thought about it and couldn't refute powerlessly: "I don't have many words." ”

"You asked me three questions at once, and the first question was nonsense."

“…… I'm sorry. Chu Xiangyun decided to apologize.

The ball of light seemed to be taken aback, and suddenly trembled, "It's okay, it's okay. ”

It even stuttered a little.

"Didn't anyone say sorry to you?" Chu Xiangyun asked.

"It's been a long time since anyone talked to me!" After saying this, the ball of light suddenly fell silent again, and it took a long time for it to pick up the previous words, "It's been seven hundred and seventy-five years!" ”

Listening to its voice, Chu Xiangyun felt that there seemed to be a young child counting with his hands in front of him.

"But there was a kid who used to talk to me and walk around with strange instruments, which was very interesting." The empty voice sounded like a happy laugh.

"Kids?" Chu Xiangyun muttered, thinking to himself if there would be any children in Lingxiao Mansion? But at the age of this machine spirit, I'm afraid everyone is a child in its eyes.

"Yes, it's a pity that he can't hear me or see me." Sora was a little frustrated, but it quickly became happy again, "But here you are! I've been waiting for you! ”

"What are you doing here? Do you want to help you without me? ”

"Ahh Chu Xiangyun was suddenly reminded, "I'm here to branch the courtyard." ”

"Branches?" The ball of light tilted slightly, as if making a tilt of the head, "Then are you lost?" ”

As he spoke, four rays of light suddenly emitted extremely bright light on the ground, pointing in four different directions.

"Which house do you want to go to?"

Kongkong was very enthusiastic, even if the ball of light couldn't make a large range of movements, he still tried his best to sway, trying to show Chu Xiangyun the way.

"Look, this one with a bit of cyan is the East Courtyard! The children in this academy are very active, and they walk fast every time they come here. ”

"And then this white one is the West Courtyard! The kids of this house are fun, and they often bring all sorts of magical things here, but unfortunately I've never seen my kind in them. ”

"After that, it's this red one, it's the South Courtyard! The children in this academy are very gentle, and they will come to read to me. ”

"Finally, this one is a little black, doesn't it look a little inconspicuous? This is the North Courtyard! Children from this academy rarely come to me, I don't know why...... But I'd love to make friends with them. ”

"Well, you can go to any academy you want!"

"......" Chu Xiangyun never expected such a situation to happen, and was stunned for a while.

Originally...... Can I still choose my own college?

Is this the case with everyone else?

"What's wrong? Can't you choose? Sora seemed to know the entanglement in her heart, and said playfully, "Then I recommend you to go this way!" ”

Suddenly, among the four paths, another gray road appeared, as if it would disappear into the darkness if you didn't look closely.

"Hmm...... That doesn't seem to be very powerful. Sora said a little distressedly, then swung up and down as if jumping, "That's fine!" ”

As its words fell, this newly appeared road was suddenly added with special effects, flashing with golden light, and Chu Xiangyun had to squint his eyes when he was pierced by this light.

"That looks amazing!" Sora said as if he was very proud.

"Hmm......" Chu Xiangyun waited until his eyes gradually adjusted before he hesitated, "So where does this road lead?" ”

Is there a fifth academy in Lingxiao Mansion? Zhuqing never mentioned it.

Sora snorted proudly twice, and even used his mouth to match the sound effect, "Qiang Qiang! ”

"This is the Headmaster's Office!"

“……”

Chu Xiangyun was stunned.

"The Principal's Office is a part of me! If you're the principal, you can come and play with me at any time! ”

It seemed to be excited as it spoke, "Choose this path, choose this road, choose this road, choose this road......

Chu Xiangyun covered his ears, and his heart moved inexplicably for a moment, but he quickly calmed down.

"I think if I do, I'll probably be kicked back......"

The ball of light dimmed in disappointment, and the golden path disappeared, leaving Chu Xiangyun with the first four paths left in front of him.

"And which academy do you want to go to?" The empty voice was a little listless, as if it had been hit.

Seeing that Chu Xiangyun was very entangled, he pointed out emptyly: "Those children who came in with you before ......"

"The first one to come in chose this path." The line that emitted white light flickered for a moment.

"The second one chose this path." The cyan light lit up twice.

"I chose this one for both of them."

Chu Xiangyun's heart lifted, and then she saw the almost invisible black line flickering slightly, she couldn't help but look at the end of the road, except for the spiritual light intertwined in the air, she couldn't see anything.

…… Zhuqing, is it in this academy?

"I think you'll choose this one!" Kongkong pointed to the red light, "Then you will have all together, east, west, north and south!" ”

Being interjected by it like this, Chu Xiangyun's original nervous mood was inexplicably relieved, and she looked back at the ball of light with some amused eyes, and the sense of alienation brought by its appearance completely disappeared.

But she still hesitated for a long time, and even the empty boredom swayed again.

"I ......"

Chu Xiangyun's slightly dry voice sounded in the silence, but his tone was unexpectedly unusually firm.

"I've figured it out."
