Chapter 144: Thousands of People, Thousands of Faces, Black and White Twins

Mebius’s “path” is particularly peculiar;

At first glance, this place feels like a dark and closed little black room. But if you look carefully, you will find that the small black room has no boundaries and is eerie and boundless. It looks like a vast cemetery under a moonless and starless night. , one can’t help but shudder.

In an inconspicuous open space in the endless dark world, two pools of ink-like "black water" are devouring and merging with each other.

Although there are only two pools of "ink" fighting, it can be seen that the battle is very "intense", like dark food boiling in a pot, which not only makes people feel less "appetite", but also "burns the mouth".

The dead silence makes the "sound of fighting" more distinct, and the emptiness makes the breath of terror spread further.

After an unknown amount of time, the "black water" on the ground completely melted into a pool, boiled and cooled down, and the silent place became even more profound and terrifying.

I don't know how long it took, but a green-haired "little girl" who looked like fourteen or fifteen years old climbed out of the "black water". Her skin was as white as snow, and her body was as soft as a boneless "venomous snake." , wearing a black and green earring with an infinity symbol on his left ear.

Mebius, who was sitting sideways on the ground with his legs together, stretched out a lot, and unconsciously let out a "hum" that sounded like he was satisfied after eating and drinking.

Suddenly, Mebius's neck turned 180 degrees behind him, and his gradually colored eyes stared at "himself" who appeared silently. Then, the body of the snake who stood up also turned around with his head.

Mebius subconsciously licked the corners of his lips, and a sweet and sinister smile bloomed on his little face.

"Haha~ You still want to 'devour'? What a greedy and hopeless little cutie!" Another Mebius covered his mouth and laughed.

She looks more mature, probably sixteen or seventeen years old.

"Haha~ Snakes are inherently greedy, and their open 'small mouths' can swallow food bigger than their own heads." Mebius is very self-aware of her own greed. Without greed, she would not be as high as she is today. .

In the eyes of most people, the "road" "given" by Wutong is "thorns", "danger", and "trial"... But for Mebius, this is a grand " feast".

Some people try their best to "pass the level" just to "pass the level", while some people can "pass the level" at any time. The reason why they don't "pass the level" is just to "play" for a while longer.

"Haha~be careful of bursting your belly~cute 'me'~"

"Broken belly? Giggle~" Mebius seemed to have heard a very interesting joke. He covered his flat belly and chuckled, "Who do you think I am? Give me time, I can swallow it whole World. Geez~ Brother Wutong is so nice~ He can always please others~"

"Swallow the world? Haha~ Arrogant and ignorant guys are really annoying! You will die of greed one day."

"Death? Haha~" Mebius sneered at this, "Oh~ He is such a hypocritical guy. He is as hypocritical as me. I hate it to death. What I hate most is that some fools use the same and unintelligible principles to persuade me. What did you do? You did this on purpose to disgust me, right? You are as annoying as me."

"What do you think?"

The "mature" Mebius tilted his head and pretended to be innocent.

"Guess? Haha~ I don't want to guess, I just want you to... shut up!"

Mebius's eyes suddenly became fierce and sharp, and with a sickly and crazy smile, he rushed towards "himself".

Snake's growth is boundless and never-ending, and its infinite growth will continue indefinitely.

…

"Da da da……"

The footsteps in high heels walking up the stairs were slow and steady.

Rita held on to the withered flower handrail with her left hand and walked leisurely up a spiral staircase step by step.

The transparent stairs and handrails seem to be made of crystal, rotating upward in a counterclockwise direction without end. The arc-shaped "lines" are flowing and elegant, giving them a dynamic beauty.

Rita could only choose to keep walking up, because the "crystal" stairs were particularly "fragile". No matter how light her steps were, every time she stepped on a floor, the stairs on that floor would be "broken", drifting and disappearing.

Rita tried flying without stepping on the stairs, but it was no use, the stairs would still break and disappear as she ascended.

She also tried to fly down and explore the "abyss", but she couldn't do it. The rules here seemed to only go up.

It is very difficult to go upstairs because the stairs do not break when your feet leave the stairs, but when you step on them, they are already broken.

If it were another person, she might have fallen long ago, but Rita would not have. She could accurately grasp the rhythm of going upstairs and find the slower speed.

As time went by, Rita became more and more skilled, and gradually she was still in the mood to appreciate the surrounding environment and scenery.

She can see the sun and the bright moon, can see more distant galaxies, and can see situations on other "roads" that are "lower" than her own height.

She looked over and saw an armed doll named "Imitation Judas" being chased by a "big monster" that looked ferocious and ugly but was weak and incompetent. The cute little guy was so frightened that he was helpless and crying. Li Li Ta wanted to hold her in his arms and comfort her.

She looked at Anna, Wendy and others fighting fiercely with their future "selves", being constantly defeated and knocked down, and then trying to get up...persevering hard, stupidly not giving up.

She looked at Sister Kiana being killed by a being whose face could not be clearly seen.

Now, she was pinned to the ground and spanked her buttocks, but Kiana didn't seem to give in, and seemed to be still shouting. Maybe it was because she was used to being beaten in the past and was "hard-skinned", so Chongchong seemed very strong. , so strong that the invisible being seemed to have a headache and embarrassment. For a moment, she didn't know what to do with her, so she had no choice but to continue spanking her.

"He is a very cute and interesting adult!"

Rita withdrew her gaze and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.

Her power is so weak that she can "treat" Sister Kiana into submission without being noticed by the other party.

And the power of that existence is so powerful, profound, and incomprehensible, but there is nothing he can do against Sister Kiana... It seems that he is not very smart!

As she became more and more proficient in climbing the stairs, Rita took off her high heels without stopping, and then threw her down into the "abyss" without looking, her movements smooth and graceful.

Going upstairs barefoot is more stable and easier than wearing high heels.

Rita knew that if she continued like this, sooner or later her physical strength would be exhausted, the Honkai energy in her body would eventually be exhausted, she would not be able to climb the stairs, she would fall, and she would gradually become embarrassed, sweaty, and unable to maintain her graceful appearance. Posture and mannerisms.

At first she was a little worried and panicked about this, and would rack her brains to think of ways to solve the dilemma.

But at this moment, she felt that it didn't matter. If she fell, she would just fall. She just wanted to know how high she could reach with her current abilities.

This "crystal" staircase rising in an infinite spiral is like her life. Difficulties in the eyes of others are not difficulties in her eyes and can be easily resolved. "Going upstairs" is easy, but there is no end.

For most people, falling is easier than going up stairs, but for Rita, it is easier to go up than to go down.

She knew in her heart that there was no rule here that only allowed you to go up. She couldn't fall down, but she had not yet passed the "hump" in her heart.

When she is tired, tired, and exhausted, she may be able to enjoy the feeling of self-indulgence and "degeneration".

Rita knew that only then would her true test come.

After tasting the taste of "fall", whether she still has the willpower to get up, whether she still wants to make progress and surpass herself, determines whether her future can be at ease with the situation, whether she can "detach", whether she can get rid of "advance" and " "Back off" constraints.

…

In a clean, warm and “girly” bedroom,

Hei Xier hugged a cartoon pillow, sat cross-legged on the dark red carpet with bare feet, a game controller in her hand, fierce eyes, and gritted her teeth while playing the video game.

At this time, Bai Xier opened the door and walked in with a plate of freshly prepared food. Her every move was as usual, gentle and careful, as if she was afraid that she would accidentally break something.

"Xie'er, I found some ingredients in the kitchen downstairs and made chocolate cake and caramel pudding. Stop playing and come and eat." Bai Xier closed the door with her elbow and called softly. .

"Bring it here."

Hei Xier's eyes were fixed on the screen, not looking at Bai Xier. She was trying to adjust her mental state so that her eyes did not look so fierce.

She was afraid of scaring "cowards."

"All right."

Bai Xier carried the food, walked over obediently, took off her white cotton slippers, and sat next to Hei Xier with her bare feet: "Um... Brother Wutong said that while eating..."

"Don't mention him!" Hei Xier interrupted irritably, her voice very rude.

"Okay." Bai Xi'er pursed her lips and said softly, "Sister Lin said it's not good to play games while eating."

"..."

Hei Xier was silent for a while, dropped the game controller on the ground with a "pop", then closed her eyes, covered her forehead with one hand, and sighed softly.

"How many times have I told you, don't throw things!" Bai Xier criticized lightly. After reaching out to pick up the handle, she briefly checked to see if there was any damage.

Hmm...fortunately, it doesn't look broken.

At this time, she turned her head and saw Hei Xier holding her forehead.

"What's wrong with you? Do you have a headache?" Bai Xier looked worried.

"..."

"Speak, Xi'er, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" Bai Xi'er became even more worried.

"……no."

Hei Xier raised her head and opened her blood-red but not fierce eyes: "Why are you still in the mood to cook and eat?! Don't you understand our current situation and situation?"

"I... really don't understand..." Bai Xier lowered her head slightly and whispered, "And you always have to eat, and people always need to eat... Do you... know where we are? "

"...I don't know." Hei Xier's eyes drifted unconsciously. She didn't want to make the other party worry.

"Huh?" Bai Xier raised her head, slightly surprised, "Then why are you still in the mood to play games?"

"..."

Hei Xier was silenced by one sentence.

"Stop playing games after dinner, okay? Let's go to bed early, wait until dawn, and go out to explore together, trying to get out of this big house as soon as possible and find Sister Kiana and Sister Rita."

Bai Xier handed Hei Xier a stainless steel fork and a small plate, and poured her another cup with sugar.

jasmine tea.

Hei Xi'er scooped a spoonful of pudding and put it in her mouth. The texture of the pudding was delicate and smooth, and the taste of caramel was sweet and bitter. In the blend of slight bitterness and sweetness, there was also a rich milk fragrance, and the aftertaste was long. Sweet but not greasy.

"Xie'er, what are you afraid of?" Hei Xi'er pretended to be careless and asked.

She doesn't like caramel pudding, it's not that she doesn't like the taste.

"Hmm..." Bai Xier tapped her chin with the handle of the spoon, thought for a moment, and said, "There seem to be a lot...caterpillars, spiders, horror movies, and..."

"Okay, stop talking, coward. What I want to ask is, what are you most afraid of?"

"What are you most afraid of...?"

Bai Xier watched the jasmine tea leaves in the glass gradually sinking to the bottom. She thought seriously for a while and said with some embarrassment: "Loneliness...well...I'm afraid of loneliness and losing you."

"..."

Hei Xier fell into silence again. She was a little embarrassed, but she couldn't tell.

"What about you? Are you afraid of anything?" Bai Xier tilted her head and asked with curious eyes.

"No, I have nothing to be afraid of." Hei Xier subconsciously looked away and said duplicitously, "I'm not like some coward who is afraid of this or that."

Another person could tell that Hei Xier was lying at a glance, but Bai Xier believed it.

The other self is so awesome! Not afraid of anything!

"Why are you afraid of losing me? Isn't it bad to lose me?" Hei Xier smiled and said self-deprecatingly, "I am evil, dark, and a big bad guy. If you lose me, you will... …”

"That's not true!" Bai Xi'er rarely interrupted others, "You are not the big bad guy! Brother Wutong once said, 'Good and evil are one'. Everyone has a good side and a bad side, and so do I. There are many bad sides, and you must also have many good sides. The quality of a person has a lot to do with what he does. If we do good things and don't do bad things in the future, we will all be kind."

"Oh, you listen to what he says? He's full of lies."

"What he said is right!" Bai Xier said seriously.

"Okay, okay, I'm too lazy to argue with you." Hei Xi'er waved her hand, "I will never leave you. If you leave me, you, a coward, can't do anything and you will definitely be bullied to death."

"Thank you, thank you for not leaving me. I will still be kind to you in the future... No, it's better."

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Bai Xier felt a sense of relief in the other party. It seemed that Hei Xier even spoke in a more relaxed tone.

"Thank you for what? I keep my word. Unlike that bad Wutong, no one can tell us apart."

"Brother Wutong also keeps his word! Don't always speak ill of others behind their backs, that's not good!" Bai Xier criticized solemnly.

"Oh, okay, okay, I know! When you say he's not good, you just...tsk."

Not sure if it was an illusion, but Hei Xier took another bite of the caramel pudding and felt that it was quite good, even the bitterness was reduced.

"Seeing" Dr. Mei pushed open the heavy soul steel door and walked out, Su quickly greeted him.

"How was it? Did Kevin succeed?"

Mei, who looked heavy, shook her head.

"Failed."
