The puppets' stage play

Chapter 349 Remote Song

quack quack.

A black cloud flew rapidly into the distance. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a group of black birds, which gradually disappeared from the end of the line of sight amidst their hoarse low calls.

It seems to be called ‘Tumor Bird’, it thought in its heart, and then nodded unconsciously.

New knowledge, consolidate success!

It clenched its small fist and waved it to its side, with a hint of joy on its slightly tense face.

"...Look at a bird." A voice suddenly came from the side, and its body suddenly froze. The man walked in front of it, with a look of surprise on his face, "Is there anything to be happy about?"

The man who asked the question looked very young, and his eyes reflected the image of the person opposite.

A little boy with a sullen face who looked to be only about five years old.

At this moment, facing his question, the boy opened his mouth hesitantly, a look of hesitation flashed in his eyes, and then he closed it very hard as if he thought of something. His eyes looking here were wary, as if he was something. Like bad guys.

"—————————!"

The man couldn't help but laugh in his heart, it was a joke, he really wanted to do something, but the people here couldn't stop him.

However, he then thought about it, maybe if the other party really answered honestly, he would think that the child was too stupid. When he thought about it, a trace of satisfaction suddenly flashed in his eyes when he looked at the child in front of him.

Well, at this time, we need an excellent adult like ourselves to teach the other party.

"Ha, by the way, I have to introduce myself at this time." The man grinned and tried his best to look kind. It would be too stupid to vent his anger on the child.

"My name is Lu You, and I am currently traveling around the Federation, trying to find something." Lu You's eyes became serious, but there was still a hint of unwillingness at the end of his words.

"...It's great. I also want to visit various places." The boy took the bait, with envy in his eyes. For a child of his age, he most likes all kinds of interesting stories from the outside world.

Lu You put his hands in front of him and looked at the other party's expectant eyes, showing an obvious rejection.

"No, it has to be exchanged, for example, your name." He smiled and pointed out the conditions that the other party could use in exchange.

A look of intense struggle flashed in the boy's eyes. Then, the boy let out a breath, and his gaze became firm.

"My mother often calls me Mumu, you can also call me that." The boy's words sounded extremely tactful, and his eyes were a little erratic.

Lu You shook his head in his heart, he was such a naughty boy, he actually said his nickname, but that's okay.

Stomping his right foot under his body, the dust on the ground was immediately swept away. Lu You sat down as if nothing had happened, raised his palm and flicked it in front of his eyes.

In the boy's shocked eyes, the ground around him also became clean.

"Let's have a chat." Lu You smiled and made the invitation.

The boy was silent for a moment and then sat down, but his sitting posture looked extremely upright, unlike a child from an ordinary family.

Lu You secretly analyzed in his heart that this was also one of his hobbies, but of course it was limited to this. He would not investigate the other person's family environment just for his own curiosity.

"Mumu, that's what I'll call you. You can call me by my first name." Lu You tried to decide what to call each other first. The boy thought for a moment, then shook his head.

"This is not good. My mother will scold me if she finds out. I will just call you uncle."

Lu You's brows twitched suddenly, and the muscles on his face couldn't help but twitch.

"I'm not that good at all. I'm not that mature. I can just call you brother. Why don't you call me uncle..." Lu You felt complicated. The age gap was pointed out so directly. He was surprised. It made him a little embarrassed.

Mumu shook his head again, his eyes becoming sincere.

"I heard an older sister passing by say that you become an uncle or aunt when you are over ten years old, and she told me not to forget it in the future."

What a misguided guy! Lu You almost cursed.

"Haha, that sister must have become an aunt now." After a change of thought, Lu You immediately found the flaw in the other party's statement. Even if the other party was indeed young, it was only ten years... very quickly.

Lu You suppressed a smile in his heart and looked at the child opposite.

"Oh, the eldest sister said so..." Mumu's eyes showed memories, "She said that she would always be nine years old and a pure and innocent child."

Speaking of this, Mumu's eyes even showed envy.

"......"

Lu You listened to the other party's words with a dull face, and a strong curiosity suddenly arose in his heart. What kind of thing is that big sister, who can say such shameless words to a child?

He was very sure that it was definitely not a child who could say such a thing.

Sure enough, his own realm was still far behind, and he suddenly felt like he was standing on a mountain.

But...he suddenly realized that he seemed to have heard similar words somewhere. Where did they come from?

"...I will be eight years old this year, in two years..." Mumu muttered and glanced here, his young face looking a little bitter.

What do you mean?

why do you look at me?

Lu You had an answer in his mind, but he didn't want to think about it.

"Nonsense, just old... Let me see, you are at most five years old now." Lu You said with great certainty. If he couldn't even judge this, it would be better to give up entangled with those guys as soon as possible and enjoy the rest of his life.

As the two of them talked endlessly, Mumu lost his initial restraint and his movements became much more casual.

"I have been in my mother's belly for three years. Of course I am eight years old. Can't uncle even see this?" Mumu muttered in a low voice. His black eyes looked this way, and a hint of trace appeared on his face. A look of confusion.

"..." Lu You's eyes became dark, and sure enough, it was a bit strange.

"Of course that doesn't count. The Federation has been counting from birth since ancient times, and it won't count the time of pregnancy." Lu You made his voice cheerful and showed a natural expression.

Mumu lowered his head and fell into silence again.

Lu You looked at the other party with a warm expression, but a cold light flashed in his eyes.

So, want to try and take a peek?

As far as he knew, there were generally two ways for newborns in the Federation to be born.

One is gestation in the mother's womb, which is common in alien races and the 'human' world, and takes place from ten months to one year.

The second is born from pregnancy. After all, today is different from the past. Strong people can use their own essence and blood to complete in vitro pregnancy. This is also the most common method in the 'Federation'. The time is variable, usually more than a year.

That is to say......

"Mumu, class just ended, right?" Lu You looked at the house in the distance. It seemed extremely quiet at the moment, and there were no traces of living creatures. His voice became gentle and he asked softly.

"...That's right." Mumu nodded, uneasiness still lingering on his raised face, and his eyes looked a little wandering.

"So, what are you doing here at this time?" Lu You stared at the other person's face, pretending to smile casually.

Mumu's expression became awkward, just like the atmosphere between the two at the beginning, and the surrounding air seemed to become solid. Mumu tried to breathe, but it became more and more hurried.

Lu You put away his smile and looked at the other party with a cold expression.

"This is the human world, right? What are you?"

"I am a human being, my mother is a human being, my father is a human being, they are nothing!" Mumu raised his head with a stubborn expression on his face. At this moment, the fear on his face was suppressed, and he gritted his teeth and looked here. His body was just shaking slightly.

"............." Lu You looked indifferent and raised his palm slightly, as if he was about to take action.

Mumu's body was shaking, but he still stared at this side. Although his eyes were full of fear, he did not turn around and run away.

"What are you going to do to brother Mumu, you bastard?"

With a sharp sound, a body slammed into this side. Lu You's body flashed and the person fell to the ground. Mumu screamed "sister" and ran up quickly, looking anxious.

Lu You looked at the visitor calmly.

It was a little girl about eight years old, wearing a pink floral skirt. She had fallen to the ground just now, but at this moment she jumped up suddenly as if nothing had happened, blocking Mumu's front like a calf guard, looking towards His eyes were full of anger.

The girl took a deep breath first, suppressed the anger in her eyes, and then spoke clearly.

"You are an adult and you need to save face. If the news about quarreling with children spreads out, it will not be good for you. Moreover, Mumu usually has a good reputation. Whether in school or nearby, he is always criticized by others. Praise for the good students.”

She praised Mumu behind her, and Mumu's face suddenly turned red. The girl did not directly accuse this party, but pointed out the situation faced by both parties.

"My parents are still waiting for me there. Mumu and I need to go there quickly." She said in a panic, her expression looking extremely indifferent.

After all, if adults get angry, they won't take each other's identities into consideration, or so she thought.

Because I am an adult, Lu You thought to himself. In the human world, if an adult attacks a child without any reason, he will be attacked by public opinion once exposed.

This kid was quite clever. He praised the other person in his heart, glanced at Mumu again, and retracted his hand.

There was no rush, and he had no intention of doing so. He just wanted to scare the kid and see if he could get any new information.

After all, he is not the manager here. If he takes action without permission, it will cause unnecessary disputes. He should give the person in charge here a reminder later.

After making up his mind, he looked at the little girl in front of him.

"You're right, I admire you very much. Can you tell me your name?"

"......Tang Qianyi." Faced with Lu You's inquiry, the girl bit her lip and revealed her real name.

Rather than letting the other party continue to pursue Mumu's brother, it is better to let him do it. Moreover, even if his bastard father fails, he is still a relative of that family. If there is any eventuality, he can still scare the other party.

She glanced at Mumu behind her, whose expression changed greatly, stretched out her hand to stop him, and shook her head with a smile.

This matter originally happened because of him. If it weren't for waiting for him, Mumu wouldn't be waiting here and then be targeted by the other party.

"Oh, that's a pretty good name." Lu You raised his eyebrows, then stepped back on his right toes, and his body suddenly became void.

"Then we'll see you later. I'll leave first if I have something else to do."

Lu You's figure gradually disappeared in front of the two people.

"Sister Yiyi..." Mumu whispered, with a somewhat unwilling expression.

Tang Qianyi grabbed Mumu's wrist without saying a word and walked towards the distance. His eyes were filled with a heavy look. How could a strong man of this level suddenly appear here.

Coming from a certain family background, she naturally recognizes that way of disappearing. It is a method of mind transfer that can only be used by at least the sixth level.

And... her pace quickened a bit. If the other party changed her mind, she would simply move forward in silence and leave here first.

After the two left, Lu You's body appeared again, and he whistled, looking frivolous.

"The Tang family... I've never heard of it. That girl seems to know something about it. The family must be involved with a certain sixth-level person, but... ha." Lu You chuckled, with disdain in his eyes. color.

Not to mention a single sixth level, even a group of six levels are no match for him. His goal is to stand at the top.

"But...the pinnacle." Lu You raised his head, but he still hadn't reached that level. What exactly was he lacking?

A ripple rippled in the air next to him, and a round mirror-like water curtain suddenly appeared behind the man. The screen fluctuated, revealing the face of a certain man.

Tsk, Lu You smacked his lips, deliberately showing an unhappy look.

The man was one of the people who had been causing trouble for him recently. There was a reason for him to avoid them when he went out this time.

"The human world? Where are you going?" A trace of doubt flashed in the man's eyes, then he shook his head and his tone became serious.

"Forget it, I don't care about you. The war is starting again in the front, and the army will send troops to support it. Hand over your unit, you have no right to take charge."

As if giving orders, the man ordered with a cold expression.

"The teacher's order didn't mention this. With all due respect, you don't seem to have the power to take over." Lu You sighed with pretense of regret, but a happy expression appeared on his face.

This was as if he was provoking the other party's attitude. The man's expression instantly became stern, and he looked here with cold eyes.

"Jiang Liu, Jiang Nian is dead. You have no right to take charge of the troops he left behind. This is military law. Do you want to disobey the Federation?!"

The smile on Jiang Liu's face suddenly disappeared. He looked at the other person expressionlessly, tilted his head, and looked at the other person carefully.

"Who do you think you are? How dare you criticize the teacher? Oh, I remembered it. It seems that in the spring you gave gifts to the teacher, and then you were caught and scolded in public. No wonder."

Jiang showed an expression of sudden realization and looked astonished.

The man's face turned ugly. That incident was a dark history that he could not forget to this day. This guy...his eyes became cold.

"Besides, are you worthy of talking about the Federation?" Jiang Liu laughed ferociously, and the aura around him surged out. Even the man in the picture couldn't help but hold his breath, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.

When did this guy become so strong? !

"Times have changed, old guy. Now is the era of the strong. The weak should surrender and dare to bark in front of me based on their so-called seniority. I think you just want to die."

"Treason, are you going to ignore the military discipline of the Federation?!" The man rolled his eyes and put a big label on the opponent. Once he was confirmed, even if he was stronger than himself, the opponent would have absolutely no way out.

After all, in the army, he still holds a higher official position at this moment, and the other party can be said to have no right to resist. If he does, it will be regarded as rebellion and will be killed by the strong men together.

"Of course I don't dare." Jiang Liu stared at the other person, still with a smile on his lips.

That sight made the man a little uneasy. He coughed and was about to continue the topic.

"But." The other party's voice suddenly rang in his ears like a thunder, and the man couldn't help but shudder. He secretly swallowed his saliva, and then looked at the other party. He was actually affected by this place... What a monster. .

Jiang Liu looked at the other party with a smile.

"I remember that there is a final clause in the army, and I want to activate it."

The man was shocked, and the clause immediately passed through his heart.

‘If a strong person feels that he has reached his limit, he can apply to suspend all duties and concentrate on working hard for promotion. ’

During that period, the positions in the hands of the strong were not allowed to change, and all laws and regulations remained the same as in the past.

"Have you... reached the realm of the God King?" The man's voice sounded a little bitter. That limit refers to the strong person who has reached the limit of the God King and feels that he can continue to progress.

"Of course." Jiang Liu smiled proudly, with contempt for the man in his raised eyes. On the other hand, the latter looked a little submissive at the moment.

"Ah...well, if you had told me earlier..." The man's tone was cautious and tentative. That was the realm of being called the strongest. This guy in front of him could really succeed. If...his mood became depressed.

"Excuse me, how long do you need? You also know that if it takes too long, we do have some..." The man smiled with an embarrassed expression on his face.

Jiang Liu stretched out three fingers without hesitation.

"Three years... ok." A glimmer of light flashed in the man's eyes. Since the time is so long, failure is very likely. He was secretly planning in his heart, but there was an expression of excitement on his face.

"Okay, no problem. Please feel free to leave everything to me. You don't have to worry about anything."

Then, the image of the humble man disappeared, but Jiang Liu's expression looked a little stiff at the moment. He raised his head and looked at the still clear sky.

"Alas..." A sigh came from his mouth.

Although the other party's ambition was temporarily restrained, he still wanted to achieve it in three years... Jiang Liu felt his body with a complex expression at this moment. He had not yet accumulated enough in the realm of the God King, and he had no confidence.

And, there's one more thing.

Jiang Liu's eyes became sharp.

"Three years is too long. It must be shorter. One year... no, one month. I must become the strongest in order to get rid of the current situation."

He was still lamenting that the time was too short before and immediately made a more drastic decision.

He understood that those guys would not let him easily reach the top. No matter whether he could succeed or not, in the past three years, the other party would definitely send some people to spy on him or... kill him.

"Power...hum." Jiang Liu snorted coldly, and his body gradually disappeared into the air.

At this moment, the people, who have adapted to the war, have no complaints. After all, they all firmly believe that the Federation will win the final victory.

However, people are still in a worried mood recently because of one thing, no, more accurately, a series of events happened.

That was a series of crimes called the "Federal Kidnapping Incident."

The culprit has not yet been caught, but as many as a thousand children have disappeared among the people.
