Terra's Magnetic Field

After Gui Shao finished saying this, he quietly watched TV and ate porridge. His expression of being immersed in the fantasy world seemed as if he had forgotten all the suffering and sorrow he had experienced. Let him be anesthetized for a short time...
Let him be temporarily healed by the heroic fantasy that is supposed to be given to little girls on TV…………
(What would happen if he knew that Xibao, Laomo and Sister Nian had all been Q dolls? That would be cruel...)
A man went to see a doctor and said he was depressed.
The doctor told him it was simple, the most famous clown was in the city, go find him, he could cheer you up. The man suddenly broke down and cried, "But doctor, I am that clown!
The so-called "heroes" are able to save people from danger, and they can often do feats that ordinary people cannot. But when heroes fall into their own suffering, who will save them? Who can understand the loneliness and pain of heroes?
No one can... no one cares... After accepting the hero's favor, people will no longer want to have anything to do with the hero, because everyone knows that the hero's life is destined to be full of hardships, and no one wants to be affected by that misfortune.
Fran quietly watched the entire episode of Fantasy with Gui Jiao. She understood the tired and scarred heart beneath Gui Jiao's strong appearance.
Fran pretended to be nonchalant and said to Gui Shao, "Everything is terrible, isn't it?"
Gui Shao was stunned after hearing this, then he picked up the bowl and spoon, walked to the sink, and washed the sticky food residue off with cold water.
With the sound of running water, he sheathed his weapon, turned his back to Fran and cried.
Gui Shao tried hard to suppress the grievance in his heart. The heavy experiences he had before surged in his heart uncontrollably. He gritted his teeth to prevent himself from making any sound. Finally, when his hands were completely cooled by the cold water, he turned around and regained his composure. He sucked back all the tears that flowed into his heart.
Everything is bad, isn't it?
There is actually only a thin layer between "heroes" and "villains". While they take opposite actions, they have similar cores. A "villain" can slowly turn into a "hero" through the guidance of certain things.
And the "hero" will become the "villain" after experiencing the worst day
Hopefully that day will never come.
Good morning, Terra...
Ending song: "Lost"
Lyrics excerpt:
From that day on, everything was so hateful that I had to live just for the sake of living. I couldn’t count how many times I cried helplessly like this.
That day can't be returned, and I'm still standing there, wandering in the helpless night, with the pain that can't be wiped away. Now it's futile even if I scream at the top of my lungs, but I still pray that I can convey the last words to the fading light. Can this be forgiven?
Just close your heart and breathe. I can't see hopes, dreams, or the future. There is no answer to the meaning of life. I just want to disappear and leave, but I can't. Looking back on those sparse and ordinary days, they have long become irreplaceable treasures. After realizing this, I can't stop the tears even if I bite my lips tightly.
That’s all for today.
Postscript: In the Batman classic comic "The Killing Joke", the Joker, who was cornered, told Batman a joke:
There were two crazy people in a lunatic asylum. One night, they decided they didn't want to live in the asylum anymore. They decided to run away! So they climbed up to the roof, and there, through a narrow gap, they saw the rooftops of the city, stretching out in the moonlight to freedom. Then the first man jumped over easily. But his friend, his friend didn't dare to jump. You know, he was afraid of falling. So the first man had an idea, and he said, "Hey! I've got a flashlight! I'll use it to shine across the gap between the buildings. You can follow the light to me!" But the second man shook his head. He said, "What do you think I am? A lunatic? Halfway through my walk you'll turn off the flashlight!"
After the Joker finished speaking, he laughed so hard that he couldn't stop. After thinking for a while, Batman also started laughing.
This joke has two meanings. The first is that Batman wants to help the Joker change, but the Joker says it's too late. The other is a metaphor. At the end of the joke, the Joker has stopped laughing (turned off the flashlight), but Batman can't stop (laughing). It implies that the Joker can also guide Batman to become another Joker, because neither of them is a normal person (crazy).
The two crazy people in the joke refer to Batman and the Joker. The one who jumped over is Batman, because he has the courage and willingness to become a normal person, and the one who didn't jump is the Joker, because he doesn't have the courage and willingness.
Even though Batman jumped over, when he was about to use a flashlight to help another madman over, it can be seen that he was just pretending to be a normal person. In fact, he was no longer the original Bruce Wayne when his parents were killed.
Batman also understood what the Joker meant and started laughing. But in the end, only Batman was left laughing in the dark.
Most people tend to think so, but is it really so? We are just used to thinking that Batman has the courage to escape the darkness in his heart and bravely face the world. He jumped over and thought he could save the Joker...
But let's think about it, the old man is also a madman, what is he holding on to? Protecting Gotham, what does all this mean to him... In the end, he also laughed with the Joker.
In this case, there is another possibility, that is, the master did not jump over, but the clown did. As the clown said, people must guard their last bit of sanity to prove that they are right and that their existence is meaningful.
But what if the nature of this world is crazy and chaotic? What if the order established by humans is just a ridiculous joke?
Batman: "You'll be in a mental hospital forever."
clown:"
Maybe we can live together.”
In the end, only a madman can understand a madman. Similarly, only Wanbao and Lafite, who are beyond ordinary people, can understand Xiaoer's difficulties. Xiaoer is actually a madman pretending to be a normal person, because a normal person can't hold on for that long. Xiaoer's experience can drive people to become a madman who is a hundred times more cruel than Wanbao.
Chapter 441: Twins
BGM: "Piano Sonata No.17 in D minor, Op.31 No.2 -"Tempest":3. Allegretto"
Dead, sleeping, sleeping
Ok……
You may still dream after a long sleep, and that's the trouble.
For when we have shed this mortal coil, what dreams shall we have in the long dream after death that will let us stop hesitating?
It is for this reason that people are willing to remain in adversity for a long time...
....................................
"We died a long time ago," Wan Paopao suddenly said in a low voice. It was a rare moment of seriousness since she became like this, which made the man holding her feel strange.
Nian asked, "What did you say?"
Wan Paopao: "Xiao Er died at sea more than 20 years ago, and I died at Bella's hands not long after. In fact, we have both died once..."
Nian: "So what? Aren't you still alive and well now?"
Wan Paopao stretched out her rice cake-like body in Nian's arms. She mocked herself in a harsh tone, "Like this? This is called being alive?! He might as well just kill me!"
“Oh!——————————”, Nian shook her head after hearing this. She understood that no matter what she said now, it would not be able to comfort her sister.
To Wan, the consolation of Nian was nothing more than the Versailles of a healthy person to a half-paralyzed cripple. It had no meaning except to make Wan more jealous...
Nian knew that the only way to make Wan mentally balanced was to change her back to her original form, but how could he do that? Although the sky lock that Hati had cast was broken by Bella, Wuming reorganized the sky lock into another form, using continuous energy to lock Wan into this funny mascot-like appearance. Now the only person who can break this new sky lock is Wuming, who cast the lock. Judging from the results, the chances of Wuming unlocking it on his own are better than zero...
Therefore, the only way to restore Wan to his original state is to cut off Tiansuo's energy supply from the source, which means getting rid of Wuming!
This is even more impossible………………
Therefore, Nian had no other choice but to sigh. Although she used Saria's weakness to temporarily curb Wuming's actions, she was unable to cause effective harm to him. Making Wuming give in to her was the limit of all the means Nian had used.
I hope that during this brief "peaceful time" brought by Saria, Nian and Wanneng can use their "amazing wisdom" to come up with an ultimate plan to defeat Wuming...
Wan calmed down and continued, "Both he and I have reappeared in the world in some form, but I understand that even though we are physically alive now, a part of us will be lost forever at the moment of death, just like a part of myself is forever missing. Since this is the case for me, Xiao Er should be the same. He must also have a strong sense of emptiness in his heart..."
"Waiter, waiter...can't we just go over and kill him? I know he is strong. Is he stronger than my grandmother and her sisters combined? Why can't we burn all those who get in our way?" A hoarse female voice came from behind Nian. It was Lafshini, who had been standing behind him on standby, who couldn't help but speak.
"Lafshini!" Seeing this, her elder sister Abrana immediately stopped her younger sister from being rude. Her younger sister Lafshini had been fearless since she was a child because she had protected her so well.
"Sister..." Ravshini stopped talking, she lowered her head slightly and remained silent.
"Forget it. Although this is not an offensive remark, it won't happen again..." Nian said generously. She didn't want to haggle with the younger generation. Although the status of the Aibu sisters in her heart was not as high as that of Tallulah, they were still her blood, so she would not be too harsh on them.
What's more, what Ravshini said was what Wan had always wanted to do. After hearing this, Wan admired this "sister" a little. After Nian sensed Wan's thoughts, he forgave Ravshini.
Nian stroked Wan Paopao's back and asked the two juniors behind him, "Tell me about what happened when you stayed overnight at Saria's house yesterday. Did she suspect you?"
"Sareya? She was so excited. She chatted with us about family matters the whole night and made us laugh. How could she still doubt us?" Rafshini continued to talk to herself. She raised her head again, which she had just lowered. She put her hands on her hips and looked very relaxed. The hem of her skirt swayed along with her big tail.
Compared with her sister's calmness, Lavishini is more flamboyant.
"Hehe~ Instead of wondering whether Saria will have doubts, it is better to pay more attention to the actions of the waiter." Wan also said.
"But even so, we can't let our guard down," Nian said after hearing this. She used the glass curtain in front of her to look at Lavshini, who stood straight behind her, and commented:
"Lafshini, you are too arrogant. This pride that comes from your bloodline may eventually put you to death. If you want to live in this land for a long time, you should be as humble as your sister..."
"Lafishini, you must remember what your grandmother said!" Abrana quickly agreed.
Lavshini seemed a little absent-minded, her eyes wandering around.
Fu said, "I know..."
In fact, Lavshini does not have the kind of respect for Nian that the younger generation has for the elder. Her life experiences since childhood have only made her believe in the truth that the strong prey on the weak. Her obedience to Nian is just the obedience of the weak to the strong, and essentially there is no blood relationship between them.
The only person in the world that Lavshini respects from the bottom of her heart is her sister, who has depended on her since childhood. She can do anything for her sister.
After Lavishini and Abrana left, Wan Paopao in Nian's arms said, "Of the twins, the elder sister is steady and scheming, while the younger sister is arrogant and thinks she is invincible. It's really interesting, haha~"
Nian sighed, "Yes, they are twin sisters. There were twins like this in the past."
Wan Paopao asked, "Sister, what do you think will happen to the twins in the future?"
Nian: "If they work together, they will be invincible, but if one of them is lost, the other will be dim. For twins, brothers and sisters are part of their own lives..."
Wan Paopao: "Yeah..."
Nian and Wanpaopao said in unison: "Just like us..."
................................................
"I killed my own twin brother. My oldest brother, Shiv, was only three minutes older than me. When my fist pierced his chest and crushed his heart... I felt a part of him merge with my soul, making me more [complete]... Maybe we were meant to be one person..."
(Older: three minutes older.)
"But it is meaningless to think about these things now, because the person has been dead for many years. Now I can only live on this earth with a part of him..."
Gui Shao was standing at the doorstep thinking when he saw a white van coming from the end of the street. The "Penguin Logistics" logo was printed on the front of the car, and the black line stickers on the body of the car also made it clear at a glance that it was a Penguin Logistics delivery van.
Gui Shao is about to start his day's work from this van.
"Texas, good morning," Gui Shao opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat. After fastening his seat belt skillfully, he saw a pair of furry white wolf ears in the rearview mirror. The ears moved very lively.
"Lappland is here today too?" Gui Shao didn't look back at Lappland. Just like the other members of Penguin Logistics, he had already accepted Lappland as their member and was accustomed to Lappland's intrusions.
Lappland in the back seat didn't say anything. Guishao heard the sound of keys and various exaggerated sound effects, and guessed what game Lappland was playing.
"Something happened in Lateran recently, so Angelica went back to her hometown to provide reinforcements. So the company transferred a newcomer from Longmen to be your partner and apprentice. You just need to teach him like Angelica did to you."
After hearing what Texas said, Gui Shao said absentmindedly, "Oh..." This made Texas feel strange, so Texas asked him:
"It sounds like you don't care much about Angelica. From what I know, she cares about you very much."
"She will surely be back soon, of course I care about her, but I don't feel her leaving, it's as if she's still by my side..." Knowing everything, Guishao naturally wouldn't worry about the Angel of Power. Angel of Power is now in an abstract state of oneness with Fran, and it's difficult to separate them...
Gui Shao looked at the ever-changing scenery outside the car window and couldn't utter anything else for a while.
After hearing Guishao's words, Texas had no other thoughts except that he thought this man was cold, so he also remained silent.
Apart from the noise of the engine, the only sound in the car was the sound of Laplander turning on the electric pedal.
The car speakers broadcast the morning news, which was still some trivial matters, without any report on the leadership battle. The leadership battle is now in a state where the lower-level people are unaware, the middle-level people are not concerned, and the upper-level people are very excited.
Guishao thought that Texas and Lappland must also know about the leadership battle. What are their plans for this?
Gui Shao didn't ask, because he was just an ordinary islander in disguise and had no right to know about the leadership battle. Asking would only make Texas and the others suspicious.
"Gui Shao, have you ever thought about finding a girlfriend?" Texas asked suddenly as they drove past a certain intersection. She was like an elder discussing life with a younger generation, saying, "A young man like you who is outstanding in appearance and hardworking and down-to-earth must have dated many people, right?"
This sentence instantly gave the young-looking Texas the temperament of a neighborhood aunt... But Gui Shao didn't know how old she was, so she could be in her twenties or thirties, or even forty or fifty?
“……………………………………”, Gui Shao was stunned and speechless. He didn’t know where to start for a moment.
"Pfft~" Lappland in the back seat couldn't help laughing, not sure if he was laughing at Texas's abrupt question or at Laughing Back's reaction.
"You haven't been in love yet, have you?" Texas continued to ask.
"We've talked about it several times..." Gui Shao continued to look out the window, trying his best not to let his eyes be caught by the people in the car. The dilemma he faced at the moment was more difficult than facing Wan Henian at the same time.
Texas: "So what kind of things did you talk about?"
Gui Shao: "……………………seems to be very tall, strong-willed, and considerate…"
Texas: "You're not good at describing women, are you?"
Gui Shao: "Yes......"
Texas also realizes this
The topic was awkward, so I tried to change it. Unexpectedly, Laplander in the back seat suddenly rushed to the middle of the front seat and shouted, "Have you done that?"
Lappland's eyes widened, and a bright light shone in her ice-blue eyes.
"Shut up!" Texas freed one hand and pushed back Lappland's head.
"Forget it, I'm still not good at dealing with women..." Gui Shao thought so and curled up in the passenger seat.
Instead of letting him see through women, his past experiences made him feel that women were mysterious, beautiful and deadly. At least most of the women he met were like this...
At times like this, he felt even more how precious his ex-wife Audrey was, because she was one of the few normal women he had met in all his reincarnations, and one of the few who didn't hurt him, deceive him, or force him.
He had seen many beautiful women, but few good women.
"You smell like a mixture of birds and women..." Lappland leaned closer to Guiqiao again. She held Guiqiao's arm with her claws and pinched his strong biceps. "Are you secretly dating someone?"
"No!" Gui Shao rudely pulled apart Lappland's claws, and nervously used his hand to smooth out the discomfort that Lappland brought to his arm.
