Standing under a patch of warm orange light, Themis of Heaven couldn't help but start to think about a question, which was why she was standing here.
If the memory is correct, Alice should have dragged her over without any explanation. She also kept saying that this was a very important banquet and you must not be absent. If you didn't come, everyone would definitely
She would be very disappointed...and so. When Themis of the Heaven asked her, "This is the banquet of Cloud Whale Sky Island, why should I attend?", she replied in a matter-of-fact tone: "Because you were early
He is a member of our Cloud Whale Sky Island."
Is there such a thing?
How come I don't know?
Themis of Heaven suspected that she had implanted some non-existent memories into herself, while Alice plausibly said: "Aren't you the narrator of the game console? Along the way, if you hadn't been secretly assisting us, we wouldn't have
We may have come here, so of course you can come to the banquet. Besides, this banquet was originally held to say goodbye to you. We are leaving here tomorrow. Don't you have a little bit of reluctance, even just a little bit?
?”
She bent her thumb and index finger in a very small gesture, and at the same time looked at the girl in front of her pitifully, trying to arouse her sympathy. But what kind of emotion is sympathy?
She had never experienced this before, so it was difficult for her to be moved by Alice's words. But she finally agreed. The key to her decision at that moment was some kind of emotion that she couldn't explain.
Some kind of strong and mysterious force impacted her heart, making her restless. When she was panicking, she thought that she should accept their invitation. When she was hesitating, she thought that she should accept their invitation. Even when she was about to blurt out the words of rejection, she still
Thinking that I should accept their invitation. So on this night, the girl who had stayed in the cold steel of the Game Command headquarters building for 120 million years finally walked out of the cage she had set up.
, it was like breaking a closed egg shell, and gradually returned to this world, but she felt that everything was so familiar yet strange, and she could not feel the slightest touch and caress.
She walked out of the building and was at a loss under the pale daylight. She saw a desolate and abandoned street in front of her. The buildings were damaged, overgrown with vines and weeds, and the corpses of the trees were rotting, exposing the dense bones. She looked at this with cold eyes.
Everything, there are no unnecessary thoughts in my mind, it seems that I will not remember that many years ago this was the goddess's favorite game arcade, and there were footprints left by Alice leading her to watch movies secretly. All of this will eventually fade away
, just occasionally stopping at a certain time in time.
She walked out of the ancient streets and began a grand tour among the ruins of the war. This time, no mortal would cast a fearful and jealous look at her from the world, because everyone had died in the war.
Some undead souls accepted their fate and did not struggle, lying quietly under the cold dust, letting their blood gradually lose temperature, while some undead souls tried to escape from here. They all believed that although they had rebelled against the cruel rule of the gods, they had also suffered because of it.
The planet became unsuitable for anyone to live, so one by one they gave up their obsessions and left on the corpses that had not yet cooled down. They never doubted whether they were right, because since mortals are allowed to have wisdom and power, then
It should not be fettered or restrained by any will. Only Themis in the heaven knows that this idea is in vain. Wisdom and power have never been the symbols of eternity they think, but are just a solid cage. The only meaning of existence is to put a kind of
The loneliness that can destroy human beings is imprisoned here. They mistakenly believe that they can control the power of loneliness, and eventually die from the power of loneliness.
She regretted that she had not understood this truth earlier. It was not that the city left behind by the goddess had long lost its former glory, but that her stubbornness prevented her from learning to face the past in the end. Memories are sometimes smaller than sand.
Sometimes it is heavier than the mountains.
After overcoming all this, she finally stood on the land of Cloud Whale Sky Island, attending a banquet that might have been predestined 120 million years ago, but she had not been invited until today. She found that she
Suddenly I lost my way, feeling lost in this strange world and unable to find a place to live.
Alice invited her here, but she was nowhere to be seen. Themis in Heaven was not sure whether she had forgotten about it or changed her mind and issued an eviction order tactfully. The difference was that she should move on.
Or should I turn around and leave?
Under the glow of warm orange light, the street winds its way to the other end of the forest. From the end, there is a faint light from the bonfire and the laughter of people. When the atmosphere is lively, it should not be disturbed by an unexpected visitor.
Excuse me. The girl pursed her lips and turned around slowly.
She suddenly stopped.
A young man was standing under the light of another street lamp, watching himself quietly.
His short silver-gray hair and golden eyes are immersed in a layer of warm color in the light, attracting people's attention like amber solidified in ancient fossils for tens of thousands of years. He holds a wooden box in his arms
, there are many long tubular objects in the wooden box, and there is a lead at the end, which looks like fireworks. This large box of fireworks will probably keep the night shining for a long time.
After the two looked at each other for a while, the young man frowned slightly: "Why are you here, Miss Themis of Heaven?"
It was Alice who asked me to come. She said that you all welcome me... The girl felt aggrieved for no reason, but she tried her best to pretend to be calm. Because she was too focused, she didn't even notice the vagueness in her voice.
Trembling: "I just came to check on the situation...I'm leaving."
She lowered her head and walked past the young man without saying a word, looking as embarrassed as if she was running away. But at this time, the young man realized that he seemed to have said the wrong thing, and couldn't help but shake his head, feeling helpless. This was not his intention.
But I don’t know why, sometimes the words that come out of his mouth, even if they are normal, always have a sharp taste in the ears of others. He turned around and called out to the figure who was about to leave: "I am not this
mean."
Themis of Heaven stopped again, but she still didn't look back, waiting for Ringer's explanation without saying a word.
With the lesson just learned, the young man chose his words more carefully, trying not to convey meaning that might be misleading: "I mean, why are you standing here alone and not going to the banquet?"
The girl buried her head lower and said dullly: "Alice, I can't find it."
So, was she waiting for Alice to take her there? What was the genius player doing that day? She clearly invited him, but she forgot such a thing, which was too much.
Lin Ge suddenly remembered something and asked again: "When she invited you, did she tell you where to wait for her?"
The girl thought for a moment, and then shook her head blankly. She remembered that Alice just asked her if she wanted to attend the banquet, but after she couldn't bear her coercion and agreed, she ran away happily, and there was nothing from the beginning to the end.
I said that I would take myself to the venue of the banquet.
In other words... I have misunderstood?
I don’t know if the wind brought the temperature of the bonfire in the distance. Themis of Heaven could faintly feel the hot feeling on her cheeks, which made her hesitant to turn back and face the young man’s eyes. In her long life
, maybe this is the first time the girl has experienced what "shame" is, but at this moment she still lacks self-consciousness. The only thing she knows is that this feeling is uncomfortable and even a bit painful.
Fortunately, the young man seemed to notice the girl's embarrassment and took the initiative to change the subject for her: "In that case, I will take you there, Miss Themis of Heaven, do you mind?"
The forest was quiet for a while, and then he heard a faint voice: "Thank you, thank you."
"You're welcome. It's really our dereliction of duty that you suffered such a snub. Of course, that guy is also partly responsible." When he mentioned that guy, Ringer couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, thinking about it later.
It's really time for Alice to teach Alice a lesson. Although she actually didn't make any mistakes in this matter, she was the one who invited the girl, and she is the one who should bear the responsibility.
"Alice, there is nothing wrong." Themis of Heaven whispered: "I heard it wrong myself."
She turned around and walked to Lin Ge, still lowering her head and waiting silently for the young man to lead her. The two shadows, one large and one small, were elongated under the light of the street lamp, almost overlapping.
After the girl approached, Ringer's eyes naturally fell on her, and he observed some details that he had not paid attention to before. He said thoughtfully: "It seems that I am not in a hurry to take you to the banquet venue now. There is a
There are more important things that must be done.”
Hearing this, Themis of Heaven raised her head blankly: "What?"
"Your clothes."
The young man explained patiently: "Can you change it? This outfit is not suitable for a happy banquet."
Themis of Heaven still wears the mechanical armor with sky blue and pure white as the main colors, as well as the huge iron-like metal gauntlet, which forms a strong contrast with the thin body. Only the six floating light wings behind her
It was tied up to form the leaves of a war skirt around her waist. This was the daily form she used outside of work. Even so, it was still far from the noisy and lively banquet.
The girl herself has noticed this. Strictly speaking, this armor is actually a sacred weapon given to her by the goddess, giving her the authority to control and monitor the entire Heavenly Temple. In the past 120 million years,
In the novel, Themis of Heaven has long been accustomed to this outfit and has never thought of changing it. What's more, she has never participated in a mortal banquet, and she doesn't know how to change it to make herself appear gregarious.
The girl was a little frightened and a little timid: "I, I don't have any other clothes..."
A bold thought suddenly appeared in her mind: Can she use this excuse to escape from this banquet? Although it would be very sorry for Alice and for those who expected her to attend the banquet, she could not restrain this feeling. As long as she did so
If the young man in front of her shows even the slightest hint of disapproval, she will immediately apologize to him and then take the initiative to say goodbye. But this urgent, anxious and worried mood does not come from fear or unfamiliarity.
, but an emotion that the girl herself cannot explain. It prompts her to be vigilant, reminds her to pay attention, and warns her to leave here quickly, leave this trap that is so gentle that people will be immersed in it. Only in this way can she be like before.
Likewise, he will unswervingly adhere to his position as a mediator and observer...
"That won't work."
Sure enough, the girl heard the words she wanted to hear most at the moment from the young man's mouth. Now she had a suitable reason to leave here. Even if Alice asked afterward, she could explain it with confidence. She should be happy.
On the contrary, the girl only felt lost and confused. She was worried about gain and loss until the end, and she seemed to have really lost something? She thought, and then opened her mouth gently -
"Come with me." The young man continued, blocking out the unspoken words of Themis of Heaven. He smiled at the girl, which was completely opposite to the cold demeanor when he confronted her in the control center a few days ago:
"I'll take you to change clothes."
Themis of Heaven cannot remember what she heard.
She couldn't remember how she left with the young man.
I don’t remember how he took me to the second floor of the Fairy Sleep Inn, where a room was occupied by various books, herbal albums, dolls and cute decorations, and then I stared blankly at the young man opening the door.
Wardrobe, turned around and said to her: "This is Metien's wardrobe. She is about the same height as you, so these clothes should be suitable for you. You can choose a set to wear first, and I will explain it to her later."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "However," the young man thought of something and added: "You can't wear that nun's uniform."
Because it was the most precious treasure left to her by her father, alongside the dreams of her brother, Tianxin Church and the pharmacist.
…
When Themis of Heaven came back to her senses, she was already standing in the corridor on the second floor of the hotel. From her eyes as clear as amber, she saw what she looked like now: a silver-haired woman with a confused expression and a hint of timidity.
The girl is wearing a light green mint-edged short-sleeved shirt, a small off-white waistcoat, and a long skirt of the same color. On her small feet are a pair of sandals with small bows, and the arches of her feet are slightly curled.
The round toes were squeezed together restlessly.
Themis of Heaven couldn't believe that the girl was herself, and she vaguely saw a familiar figure on the other person's body, so familiar that she felt the urge to cry. She looked away with a great willpower
, dare not look again, but there is always a force driving her, making her unable to help but want to see more clearly and carefully. It is best to imprint her in the deepest part of her mind and never forget it.
The young man did not give her this chance. Instead, he withdrew his gaze and said to her, "Wait a moment."
After that, he turned around and walked towards another room marked "Ovela" on the door number. When he walked out after a while, he already had a straw hat in his hand for sun protection. He gently put the straw hat on the girl's head.
, after looking up and down for a while, he nodded with satisfaction: "That's enough."
"Let's go."
He smiled and said to the girl: "Let's go to the banquet."
The tip of Heavenly Themis's nose felt sour, and she finally couldn't bear it any longer. All the grievances and pains she had suffered in the past 120 million years and in the past week seemed to have found a channel to vent at this moment.
Let her cry loudly like the most ordinary girl: "Wow!!!"
