Watching the crystals disintegrate and turn into reddish soft sand, Xia Fan was a little confused. It is actually very obvious why these children are special. They actually have the characteristics of the Human and Xi at the same time, even if they are still very different. Complete.

"How many sacrifices can we make for the so-called glory..."

Xia Fan looked at the sand and dust passing through her fingers, and the complexity in her heart was hard to tell in words. She knew that this was also a kind of persistence of the human race, a way to explore the future, but these poor children became victims. ,tester.

Xia Fan is now two thousand years old anyway, and is no longer so impulsive. According to her past personality, she would definitely think this was an absolute mistake and stand on the opposite side involuntarily. But at this moment, she knew clearly that if these children could be safe and sound. When he grows up, he can prove the coexistence of Human and Xi.

However, the defects of these children are indeed too great. Xia Fan found that their souls are extremely disturbed. They cannot bear excessive emotional fluctuations. Both happiness and emotion will destroy them. These poor children have no future at all. They Survival is nothing but a test product.

Xia Fan gritted her teeth, and finally decided not to do anything. She left the Glory Fortress this time and made an oath. She is just an observer, no matter what happens, she will not interfere. This is the premise of Mirage Dragon. She only agreed to let her leave, so no matter whether it was anger or grief, she could not vent her emotions in action.

"I'm sorry...I'm sorry..."

Xia Fan looked at the pile of soft sand under her feet. Who would have thought that this pile of dust was a beloved little girl before. She grew up with her playmates at this age, with green mountains, green waters and warm sun. Accompanied by Xia Yi, she sheltered her from wind and rain, but what about these children?

Even extreme emotions are not allowed.

Xia Fan left the room silently, flew into the sky and sighed in the dark night sky without stars and moon.

The second day.

These children gathered as usual, and no one cared particularly about the girl who did not come. Several children noticed and whispered why she didn't come, but they still had more fear in their eyes.

"Did Xiaozhi break the ban?"

"Xiaozhi has always been with us. We have never been absent from each other. This is definitely a ban..."

"But Xiaozhi is so timid, it's impossible!"

Some children behaved a little bit fiercely about this. They argued about the reason. One of them mentioned "violating the prohibition" several times, which made the other girl very scared, and her face became a little sickly white. She lowered her head and couldn't control her body. She was trembling, and some of her hair had begun to turn into crystals.

"What's the noise! ​​Be quiet!"

Finally, the demigod who had been responsible for disciplining them arrived. The demigod walked up to the girl and slapped her on the head. The girl's body was stunned, and she fainted on the spot, but finally stopped crystallization, some of the demigod. He sighed impatiently and looked at the other two boys.

"The two of you can take her down to rest. You can skip today's class, but you are not allowed to take half a step out of your residence. What is the name of the kid who is often with you? But it doesn't matter anymore. She is a good kid. She didn't get through the difficulties, but at least she worked hard. From now on, you must be careful not to break the ban. This is also for your good."

When the demigod mentioned the disappeared girl, his tone was much softer than yesterday, and he seemed to feel a bit of a pity.

"Master Secretary, can I ask her...could it be..."

One of the little boys seemed to know something vaguely, and the demigod frowned, lowered his head in thought for a moment, and then squeezed out a smile.

"Don't worry, it's just her personal problem, it won't affect you, and it has nothing to do with you, but after all, you have been the closest since childhood, so in order to prevent you from having trouble, you need to be observed for a period of time."

"In addition, we will temporarily stop communicating with people from other places from today."

The demigod's tone is very serious, because the girl named Xiaozhi passed away last night, he decided to forbid all children to communicate with normal human children, Xia Fan stood on the side watching all this silently, she wanted to see these What is the fate of the children, what secrets are hidden in these children, and what is the so-called prohibition?

The three children were quickly called back to their residence. The demigod sent a holy king to look after them. The three children were taken to a basement by the holy king. The structure of the basement is not strange, it is just an ordinary place. In the room, the three children were also very nervous.

"The teacher advises you not to think deeply about the ban. After you grow up, you can do anything. The child who violates the ban will not grow up. And the ban has the evil temptation. You may be caught after thinking about it. Nightmare knows."

Mentioning the term evil nightmare, the three children shuddered at the same time, especially the girl, who subconsciously hugged the boy next to her.

"That Xiaozhi was taken away by Nightmare?"

"Didn't the Secretary say that, she fought bravely, but after all she has attracted a nightmare, so you who are closest to her must also be careful. Did she tell you something strange?"

This holy king obviously also knows a lot. At the moment when the word "strange" was mentioned, Xia Fan sensed the holy king's killing intent. It seemed that if these children knew something they shouldn't know, they would welcome it in advance. The end of life.

"Xiaozhi didn't say anything to us..."

"Xiaozhi said nothing..."

"Um... if you can, can you leave me with Xiaozhi's things?"

The three children showed that they didn't know anything, the Saint King smiled, and then beckoned to the three children.

"That's fine. As for her relics, I'm sorry, that must be disposed of. You are ready to undergo the purification ritual, I hope this will help you not to be disturbed by the evil nightmare."

The three children immediately came to the holy king and knelt down. They lowered their heads and closed their eyes obediently. It seems that this is not the first time they have accepted this purification ceremony. The holy king stretched out his hand and scratched it with his fingertips. In the palm of his own hand, blood dripped on the heads of these children.

The blood melted into the bodies of the three children. Among them, the girl with some crystallized hair fell off immediately, and blood appeared on their faces. They looked more like ordinary healthy children, which made Xia Fan inevitably think about it. Many, these children may not be regarded as human at all.

Of course, it is definitely not the Xi Clan.

They are miserable creatures in between. The so-called forbidding and purification rituals, including the evil nightmare, gave Xia Fan an unspeakable sense of weirdness.

11

After the purification ritual was completed, the holy king temporarily left and allowed the three children to calm down here for a day. The holy king did not leave them any food or water, nor supplies for cultivation, only a bottle exuding dimness. Shimmering dust.

Xia Fan knew what it was. It was the body of the Xi Clan, and the blood of the Xi Clan. These light particles were not as bright as expected. Of course, it might also be because the Human Race could not find a proper preservation method.

The three children were two boys and one girl. After the Saint King left, they looked at me and I looked at you without saying a word for a long time until someone finally broke the silence.

"Hey, I said, do you remember what happened some time ago? It's the brother from another place. He said that we looked bloodless and felt that our body was bad. He gave us something called a pill, but he was taught by the secretary. Your lord confiscated it."

"Remember, don't you still have several pieces called Lingshi? They were also taken away by the teacher."

"But we don’t know what to use the pill and the spirit stone, but my elder brother’s performance gave me the feeling that we should be born to know how to use it. Stone should be common sense."

The three children couldn't bear the loneliness, and finally started talking. Xia Fan stood behind them and listened. In fact, she could choose to search for the demigod directly, but she didn't want to look at this from a human perspective. After all, it is a memory of a demigod mixed with her subjective cognition. She wants to feel all this from her own perspective, from the perspective of these children.

"In fact, I even met my eldest brother secretly later, and he told me something about taboos, aren't you curious about taboos? Obviously, elder brothers don't have any taboos, only we are special."

"Don't say it, we have just received the purification ceremony. Although Xiaozhi is very pitiful, I don't want to accompany Xiaozhi."

The other boy was obviously less courageous and did not dare to hear about taboos.

"You’re not curious, I’m curious. I really care about what happened to Xiaozhi. You must fall asleep at night, and you are not allowed to think about your parents. Don’t you think these three taboos are weird? And the eldest brother said one thing. The thing that really worries me is that a companion like us was dealt with before us."

"what?"

"What...what happened!!"

When the girl and boy heard the first boy's words, they couldn't help but yelled.

"Hush! Be quiet, it's just being dealt with. Except for us, do you see brothers and sisters like us? Ah, Brother Ming and the others forced the teacher to ask the teacher what happened to his parents, but they were caught by Nightmare the next day. Go, but I saw it that morning, Ah Ming and the others were still there in the morning, and they were taken away by the teacher, and the nightmare will only act at night, right?"

"You mean, Brother Ming, they were actually dealt with?"

"That Xiaozhi she..."

"I don't know, Xiaozhi definitely didn't break the ban, at least I know that."

The three children seemed to have a lot of their own careful thoughts, and they actually used this to talk about it. At this moment, Xia Fan has quietly sealed off the neighborhood with his primordial power, and the holy king who is hiding outside the door does not want to hear anything. .

The three children may have been killed without thinking that they were already on the verge of being dealt with.

"By the way... what does the nightmare look like?"

The girl was a little scared and talked about the appearance of the evil nightmare.

"I think, is it possible that the teacher made up the evil nightmare to make us obedient? The big brothers in other places said that he didn't know what evil nightmare was at all, and he was not allowed to think about his parents, which made him unsolvable, but at night It is true that he has to sleep. He said that when he was a child, his parents told him that if he didn't sleep at night, wolves would come to eat and sleepless children."

"Wolf? What is a wolf? Isn't it a nightmare?"

The three children think about things from a very logical perspective, not at all like the wisdom that a child of this age can have. Their spirituality is far greater than they seem, and they are very intelligent.

"I asked what a wolf is and what it looks like. If the Nightmare is really a wolf, it can be verified recently."

The oldest child seems to think the most, he desperately wants to know everything.

"What are you going to do? You don't want to break the ban, do you?"

"Don't open your mouth and keep your mouth shut. Oh, brother Ming also told me something quietly before the accident. Xiaozhi's death made me unable to bear it anymore. When will we pretend to be ruthless? Don’t keep your hands, it’s so painful, you don’t care, but my dream is to see the outside world with Xiaozhi one day when I grow up."

"But Xiaozhi is gone, and I don’t have much nostalgia. Anyway, we are not growing up at all. As we get older, purification rituals become more frequent. Sooner or later we will usher in treatment instead of purification. Everyone knows in their hearts. Brother Aming didn't want to sit still and did so much secretly. I can't live up to Brother Aming."

The eldest child is very young and mature. His mind is definitely not something that a child can have. They are like everyone else in searching for their incredible secrets. This is the instinct of the human race, and the curiosity that can never be stifled. The Xi clan wants to think about the true meaning of things instinctively.

In fact, seeing now, Xia Fan is really lamenting for the fate of these children. They already know their own specialties. They want to know why they are special. Are they human or Xi? How do they view themselves after they know the truth?

"Ah Tu, I won't participate anyway, and Xiaoyue won't either."

The other boy was still afraid of breaking the ban, but he wanted to protect the girl named Xiaoyue more.

"Ah Xian, whatever you want, I want to know the truth anyway, even if I follow in the footsteps of Brother Ming, otherwise I don't even know the meaning of my own existence, so I'll be at the mercy of the secretary and them, waiting for me to be dealt with. On that day, if this is considered the meaning of survival, then I will not admit it!"

"We don’t even have the right to have a surname or a given name. Brothers and sisters in other places have their own surnames. That’s their inheritance and the meaning of living, but we don’t. I've been weird for a long time."

Because of Xiaozhi's death, the boy named Atu has made up his mind to commit a ban. It may be cruel to say, but Xia Fan can't offer any salvation. She can only watch and witness the evil consequences of the human race.

The truth concealed by Yunhaijie is the real human race. Xia Fan is ready to face it, but she can hardly have the determination. She dared to assert that she would choose the human race after she didn't know everything.

A few days later.

The teacher slowly relaxed his vigilance against the three of them, and the three of them were able to return to their normal lives, but this so-called normality was only relative to their companions.

The three children were playing around in the dusk. They seemed to be very happy. They talked about what they were going to do when they grew up, and talked about the end of the mountain that one day would surely cross the mountain, but these are just cryptic words, yes. The three children said goodbye to each other.

Ah Xian and Xiaoyue blessed Ah Tu to witness the world over the mountains in the future, and Ah Tu blessed them to be together as happily as they once dreamed.

The demigod teacher of course heard this, but he just smiled at this. I am afraid that only the teacher himself understands what kind of charm is contained in this smile. These special children are eager to grow up because they grow up. Then you can break the ban, you can wake up in the dark, you can know everything about your parents, and you can tell the person who is most special to you.

That night, it was late at night.

Ah Tu set off early, and Ah Xian couldn’t sleep. He remembered the cryptic words that Ah Tu had said to him at dusk. The truth would only emerge at night, under the clear shadow of the moon in the foggy sea. Actually All this was dealt with. Ah Ming investigated everything. The teacher and other adults disappeared here every night, just to check if they were asleep before the time.

It's a bit easy to say, the teacher didn't notice the behavior of pinching his thigh, using pain to stay awake and forcibly unable to sleep. Of course, Xian Xian couldn't notice a person standing in his room all the time.

This person is Xia Fan. Without her help, these children would not be able to do anything. Xia Fan understands that her actions will kill these children, but Xia Fan knows that this is what makes them truly alive. It is false. The middle of the day led to the end, or died after learning everything, these children had already told Xia Fan the answer with their own will.

So Xia Fan helped them because their plight is similar to the current Human Race. Except for very few people in the Human Race knowing that Xi is the victim, most of them still hold false glory to be the victim. If the human race knew the truth, how would people treat the Xi family?

Is it to survive, or to be humane?

The door opened slightly, and the boy named Ah Xian sneaked out of the room. Tonight is a full moon night. According to the children’s word of mouth, the full moon night will not be attacked by evil nightmare, but even so, the teacher will not let the children. They are active at night.

Beings have thoughts, thoughts originate from souls, and souls belong to yin. Therefore, thoughts are afraid of light and heat. On the night of the full moon, the full moon reflects the dim light of the scorching sun, illuminating the sea of ​​fog and making its way forward obscured. The resentment is very weak.

It's just that after Ah Xian left the room, he found that the opposite room was also secretly opened. He fixed his eyes and realized that it was Satsuki. The two of them looked at each other, then nodded and approached each other.

"Tonight, waiting for the full moon may only happen once in decades. Satsuki will have a star sign. This is the most perfect full moon before we grow up. It may also be our only opportunity. I have thought about it a lot. Yes, I also want to know the truth."

"My mind is full of memories of Xiaozhi. I secretly went to Xiaozhi's room this morning and took a look. It has been cleaned up. Everything that belongs to Xiaozhi has been thrown away, although Xiaozhi did not leave it behind. What, but at that moment I felt like something in my heart was being trampled on."

Ah Xian covered her chest with her hand, looking painful, and Xiaoyue's expression was both sad and serious.

"Let's go quickly, I'm a little worried, Brother Tu, I have an ominous premonition."

"Too."

Ah Xian nodded, and the two immediately left the residence and walked towards the deep mountains covered by the sea of ​​fog. Xia Fan silently followed them. In fact, she had already witnessed the end of the way not long ago, and she was also in a complicated mood. Let Ah Tu rest in peace.

That kid named Ah Tu, he became a bad nightmare, Ah Tu’s hostility in his heart was too heavy, he seemed calm, but his mind had been robbed of reason by negative emotions, and the loss of Xiao Zhi made him doubt everything in the past. And hate.

And of course, he would naturally be like this. Although his chest and back had crystallized at dusk, he did not tell his two companions that his promise was easily shattered at night, just a little bit of a very light resentment. Let his lost heart collapse, but there is no way, who will let them live in such a high-pressure environment for a long time.

Xia Fan watched his body deform and slowly turned into a crystalline monster covered in flesh and blood. The twisted body and the sharp crystals of strange shapes were like a killing machine. He moaned in pain but still maintained the consciousness of some people. , As if seeing an illusion, he kept calling Xiaozhi.

There are only two paths for them...

Amidst the passionate emotions of the human race, the crystalline body can't bear the passion of the soul, so it may be a good ending to become a crystalline collapse. It is to pass away as a person who recognizes oneself clearly.

As for the second way, it is to become a monster of revenge in the hatred of the Xi clan. He thinks he is a member of the Xi clan more than human beings. Driven by the resentment of the Xi clan, he absolutely tragically died in the sea of ​​clouds. Clan, if you calm down and use your soul to perceive this world carefully, you will find that Xi Clan's grievances are questioning, cursing, and cursing Human Clan everywhere.

Perhaps this evil thought is about to turn into something tangible, and perhaps the human race just wants to cultivate it, so as to pollute the spirit of the Xi clan, make the Xi clan shrouded in hatred and killing, and transform the Xi clan into It has to be as sad as myself, let Xi clan lose dawn.

Xia Fan watched a child turn into a monster. She couldn't tell how she felt. The scene was not shocking, not even unexpected, but after seeing it, she dared to wave If it doesn't go, it's rooted in her heart, the fog is like a mirror and I don't know who is the monster.

Deep mountain trails, moist air, under the sea of ​​fog, in the moonlight, along the hazy front road, two bold children holding hands, comforting each other, counting the steps that have been taken, Singing quiet ballads as if to embolden myself.

The back road disappeared in the fog, and slowly entering the front of the field of vision was like a mirror, chasing the meaning of their lives. They wandered on this road of no return, ending in the fog and the moonlight.

Gradually, even their shadows disappeared in the thick fog, and together with their backs turned into nothingness.

13

In the deep mountains, at the end of the path is a mine full of crystals.

The two children held hands and looked at the crystal mine in front of them with very serious expressions. They didn't know what was inside, and Xia Fan, who was concealed, was also quite surprised now.

With the power of her primordial spirit, it is impossible to detect this cave. Even if the cave is in front of her eyes, it is impossible for her to find the cave in the fog, but the two children seem to have some kind of guidance, leading Xia Fan came here.
