The puppets' stage play

Chapter 184 Soul Flash, Insect

"Welcome...ah, it's an honor for you to come. Please come with me." Bai Furen was originally saying words of thanks mechanically, but when he saw Qi Xiu's face, he suddenly became sober, and the smile on his face also changed. It’s become a lot more real.

He called a servant and asked him to continue welcoming the visitors, and he personally led Qi Xiu forward.

Qi Xiu didn't say a word and followed the other party silently.

"Oh, I didn't expect you to come to my daughter's 18th birthday party. I, the Bai family, are so lucky..." Along the way, Bai Furen kept flattering, with a smile on his face.

But Qi Xiu never paid attention to it. Bai Furen was sensible and said nothing more. He took Qi Xiu to a certain room, bowed and then ran towards the door in small steps, with anxiety written all over his face.

Qi Xiu watched the other party leave and glanced at the woman with a sly smile on the side.

"Although Bai Yiyi's birthday is still a few days away, if it is done in advance, no one will say anything. I just got rid of Kong Leling. Even though she seems to have a bad temper, she is actually quite nice."

"And Bai Yiyi didn't refuse, so she agreed."

"That's right..." Qi Xiu muttered in a deep voice. The other party was also prepared and just set up a banquet waiting for him to go. He shook his head, closed and opened his eyes, and opened the door to go in.

"...Well, be careful, Bai Yiyi is not as innocent as she appears." A low warning came from someone behind him. Qi Xiu paused, without looking back, and his figure gradually disappeared into the crowd.

Ah Shou, Xia Ying, and Jiuren followed in one after another, leaving only one person outside the door.

"I am such a despicable and cowardly woman..." Liang Bailian smiled bitterly, her eyes full of sadness. She took a deep look at the door, patted her cheeks, and returned to her usual flawless smile.

"That's okay! There's nothing wrong with being a subordinate with peace of mind."

"Dad...Have I become stronger..."

She asked herself in her heart, but she couldn't get an answer, only endless loss.

Qi Xiu looked at the many luxuriously dressed guests, his eyes couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart.

It was obviously the declining Bai family, but the guests who came here were no worse than those of the Gong family at that time. People gathered in circles, discussing some interesting things with reserved smiles.

Occasionally, some guests looked at Qi Xiu who walked in through the door, a look of surprise flashed in their eyes, and they smiled politely at him, but did not come up to please him.

"...Master, my tentacles have started to spread from the entrance door, but the part that reached the backyard lost control in an instant."

Mamoru, who had remained silent, raised his head and looked at Qi Xiu silently, but secretly talked to Qi Xiu through Karma.

"None of the people in front of me are protected by white human figures. It seems that they only appear around key people. I can control these people with me. Please give me the master's order!"

Xia Ying's eyes were a little red, and he also did some testing.

"I'm also ready. I will kill all enemies with my master's blade!" Jiuren followed the trend and made his own promise.

"...Wait a moment." Qi Xiu looked at the people in front of him indifferently. If he had the intention, in just a moment, these people would become broken corpses or 'puppets' under his control.

But before he knew that person's attitude, he didn't plan to kill more.

The three of them nodded silently and followed Qi Xiu to a corner, waiting for the banquet to end.

Liang Bailian also pushed the door in, and then closed the door. After all, everyone was afraid of the cold. Her eyes wandered around, and when she saw Qi Xiu, she walked quickly, smiling politely at the guests along the way.

She walked closer and was about to say something, but she felt that the few people were a little out of tune with the atmosphere of the banquet, and there seemed to be a layer of solemn air surrounding them.

She felt some inexplicable fear for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to stay away from them, and the guests around her did the same. They subconsciously stayed away from the table. She stepped back slightly, and her brain suddenly woke up, feeling vaguely ashamed.

She looked at Du De's indifferent gaze, but saw no emotion in his eyes, and he didn't care about her retreat. It seemed normal, but then there was some surprise in his eyes.

Tat-tat-tat, the woman who took a step back rushed over with a vicious expression, glaring at him angrily.

Liang Bailian didn't know where she got the courage, but she thought that if she stepped back now, she would regret it for the rest of her life, so she rushed over without thinking.

Qi Xiu looked at the woman up and down, looking at the other person for the first time. Before that, he just regarded her as a useful chess piece. Seeing that the other party could ignore the vitality fields of them, maybe the other party also had some qualifications.

"I thought you would be afraid of me, but you can really bring me some surprises." He couldn't help but admire, a look of optimism flashed in his eyes.

"Hmph, as a subordinate, how can you not be with your boss? Don't even think about leaving me!" Liang Bailian's face turned red and she retorted with all her strength.

"Forget it, just keep quiet next time, I have some things to think about."

Qi Xiu nodded calmly, then closed his eyes to rest, and stopped paying attention to others. He also restrained his pressure in private, and ordered others to restrain themselves.

Everyone agreed.

Liang Bailian also stopped talking and stayed beside each other like the other three quiet people. The guests also looked here from time to time. The strange combination made them look weird, and they started to communicate with others.

The music in the room changed one after another, and sometimes the guests got into the mood. The men invited their female companions to dance in the center. Their faces were full of decent smiles, their manners were elegant, and they were polite to each other.

Liang Bailian followed a few people and stayed in the corner in silence. The more she watched the guests' behavior, the more she felt that they were playing monkey tricks. Everyone seemed solemn and elegant, but in fact they were just clowns in the eyes of onlookers.

Their thoughts and plans can be seen at a glance, without any dignity, they are just pursuing interests. In the past, I was on that stage, the focus of everyone's eyes. Maybe my pride and weakness would have been ignored by some bystanders. The reader saw it.

"People are weak individuals, but the collective is a plurality of people who are extremely powerful. Individual wishes are irrelevant, and the opinions of the group are more important. This should be what you deeply believe."

Du De beside him didn't know when he opened his eyes, looking at the scene in front of him with an expression of indifference. His voice didn't sound like he was speaking to Liang Bailian who was looking at him in a daze, but every word penetrated into her heart.

"A smart person realizes this, and he begins to twist the individual's will to make him succumb to himself, thereby further absorbing other wandering individuals. This process continues like a snowball."

"Overwhelm those who disobey and bury obedience into the marrow of the individual. In this way, there is a distinction between upper and lower. This is the prototype of centralism in history."

"But there are always individuals who realize this, and they are not willing to be oppressed. The same thoughts will connect them together, and a resistance will form from this. Just like a spark that cannot be extinguished, there will always be stars left."

"Thus the words "no lasting" came into being, and the old era kept repeating itself, being turned over and over again in the hands of a few families, or people all over the world.

"But our era is different. Flesh and blood and our weapons must be just fragile objects that can break at the touch of a touch." Liang Bailian's face became solemn. She also heard stories about the past told by her teacher.

"It's just a matter of changing the king's flag at the top of the city, changing it back and forth in the hands of several people. Few people from the lower class can intervene." His teacher said this, his expression was extremely determined, and his eyes felt a little sad.

"That's why monsters were born." Qi Xiu chuckled, and Liang Bailian couldn't help but lose consciousness. Of course she understood what the other party was referring to. Since she joined the other party's team, she naturally knew some less confidential information.

"Strength and weakness are relative. We seem to be extremely powerful now, but on another higher level, aren't we just bubbles that burst at the touch of a touch?"

"...We will eventually become stronger. The huge crises that were for us in the past are now just trivial matters that we can deal with casually." The woman's smile was a little forced, and she forced herself to comfort herself.

"But the enemy will not wait for you to become stronger. The enemy will take advantage of your fledgling life and crush you to death!" Qi Xiu's seemingly plain words revealed the truth of the universe, and Liang Bailian's body couldn't help but tremble.

"Then..." She opened her mouth to speak, but stopped with a look of embarrassment on her face. She originally wanted to ask the other party for a solution, but she soon realized that this was just wishful thinking on her part.

It is impossible for the other party to know how to do it, after all, everyone is just an ordinary individual.

Qi Xiu stopped talking and glanced at the solemn-looking woman next to him, sighing in his heart. Although the woman had some talent, she lacked the desire and motivation in her heart.

The extraordinary beginning does not come from the outside world, but from her own unwilling heart, the long-cherished wish that she must achieve even if she has to abandon everything, and she can only feel it, but she will only stay where she is.

Even if this person takes this road, he won't be able to go very far.

He stretched out his hand and looked at his inner arm, which seemed normal but actually had lost body temperature. His eyes were full of determination.

He will keep going, even if he has to give up everything along the way, he must achieve his goal, because that is the reason why he lives in the world.

A little bit of silvery light gradually flashed in the depths of his eyes. His soul was eager, eager to climb the peak, and it was urging itself to do this.

Keep moving forward! forward! till the end!

"I know" he solemnly promised to his soul, and then looked towards the backyard, as if he could see the person he wanted to see through the thick buildings.

Bai Yiyi raised her head, a strange light flashed in her eyes, making her original light temperament even more detached.

"Oh, he is such an energetic little guy, his soul is shining." The blurry-faced woman in light red clothes sitting next to her sat on the boulder and looked into the distance.

"Yeah, but it's nothing to my mother-in-law." Bai Yiyi's expression was cold, as if she could not eat the fireworks of this world. And she was also wearing a white and elegant ancient palace dress at the moment, looking both worldly and beautiful.

"Yes, after all, they are just tiny insects, unaware of the fate of the universe." The mother-in-law's voice became louder, as if she was in the horizon or right in front of her eyes.

"That's good." Bai Yiyi nodded with dull eyes, silently looking at the fat figure running in the distance.
