Why play in a band if you don't form one for life?

The cherubim had been waiting here for a long time. Beside her stood the missiles that Shizi had assembled during the day. Seeing the few people, the cherubim nodded to them, said nothing, and disappeared on the spot.

"Mr. Wu? This is..." Kita remembered that she seemed to have seen this missile in Shizi's room during the day. At that time, she thought that Shizi was just building a model on a whim.

Shizi stood still, a certain distance away from the missile, and the others also stopped behind her.

Shizi turned around, still with the same smile on her face: "Hua Lian, I have good news for you - you will soon be reunited with Xiaoguang."

"Huh?" Hua Lian was not surprised when she heard this suddenly. She just had a bad feeling in her heart.

"I will," Shizi paused for a moment, his expression unchanged, "kill Xiaoguang."

For a moment, no one spoke. There was only silence.

Yazi trembled and said, "Shizi-san, what...does this mean?"

Shizi nodded gently. "This missile is stuffed with the sutra I made with filth. Remember before, I asked PAREO to control the jade slip for my virtual personality? Now, the virtual personality is in this missile. She will control the missile to cross the continent and find Xiaoguang. Before she can react, the sutra will explode, putting her in the same state as Hualian, and then kill her, so that she will come here like Hualian."

This is just nonsense, Hong Xia thought.

There are too many accidents that can happen in the middle.

But this is indeed Shizi's style, and it is the method she would come up with.

however……

"Why?" Hua Lian asked.

"Because only Xiaoguang can help you." Shizi said, "Without her, Hualian, you won't be able to reproduce."

"If... by accident, Xiaoguang is killed under normal circumstances...!" Hua Lian had no doubt that with Shizi's strength, she really had the ability to kill Xiaoguang.

Shizi looked at Hualian calmly: "Then she can't be resurrected. But you can still reunite with her, right?"

Hua Lian looked at Shi Zi's face in disbelief.

Why could she say such words so calmly?

"...Why don't you tell me?" Hua Lian asked.

"I've told you now, haven't I?" Shizi waved his hand, as if this was a trivial question. "Okay, everyone, move aside. We're about to launch."

Overhead, the branches that blocked the sky slowly parted, revealing a hole.

Under the missile, energy began to surge.

Hualian looked at the missile.

"3." He counted down.

Next, in a few hours, Xiaoguang will die and come here.

Afterwards, he might be able to regenerate himself, but Hikaru might not be able to move forward again.

"2."

Because of myself.

"1."

Kita secretly formed a flame in his hand. Black air also rose from behind Ayako.

Shizi raised his hand.

However, at this moment, dazzling starlight lit up around them.

Bursting out from the soul, the radiance pierced through the filthy shell. Aijo Karen felt for the first time in a long time that she was thrown into the furnace, to be reproduced!

Reborn from the darkness, Aicheng Hualian is dressed in gorgeous blue and red clothes, with his cavalry sword pointing straight forward, turning into a bright light, and charging!

It was as if all the spotlights were focused on her. Time slowed down at this moment. All that could be seen was Hua Lian moving forward, and in an instant she arrived in front of the missile that was about to take off.

"My chest is burning, and the future is beating here"

"Protect the sincere wish of childhood with a sword and swear"

The sword pierced through the bullet like cutting a piece of cake.

The warhead shattered into pieces, and the metal weathered, deformed, and twisted into a T shape in an instant.

"Position 0!" Hua Lian released the hilt of the sword, letting it stay on the T-shape, and spun a few times in place, with her cape flying in a perfect arc in the air. She stood still and looked at Shi Zi.

Shizi watched all this calmly. The missile was destroyed, but she didn't react at all.

"Congratulations, Hualian," she said.

Hua Lian looked at her still smiling expression and a chill rose from the bottom of her heart.

"Is this your plan?" she demanded, "to use the little light to stimulate me and force me to have more children?"

"Yes." Shizi nodded.

Hua Lian felt sad: "Everything before was just an act for me?"

"Yes." Shizi nodded.

The cavalry sword turned into starlight and returned to Hua Lian's body.

"So..." Her voice was filled with tears, "Have I ever seen... the real Xiao Shizi?"

Shizi didn't answer immediately. She lowered her head, her bangs covering her eyes: "I... don't know."

"what?"

"I don't know. I don't know what the real me is like."

Hua Lian did not ask any more questions. She walked back slowly and passed by Shi Zi:

"I...want to believe in Xiao Shizi."

She left.

Shizi did not look back. She just stood there, staring at the wreckage of the missile in the distance.

"Xiao Shizi, you really went too far this time." Hong Xia's voice came from behind, her speaking speed was slower than usual, "Why?"

Taking advantage of other people's most precious feelings is not worthy of praise even if the result is beneficial to everyone. It is normal to feel angry even if you are as gentle as Hong Xia.

Shizi just took out the sand table silently. Seeing the location of Poppin'Party on the sand table, several people quickly understood what Shizi meant.

Hongxia didn't say anything, just patted Shizi's shoulder.

"I'll go try to talk to her." She looked at Yazi who was at a loss, "Little Yazi, let's go."

The two left.

Kita accompanied Shiko, standing in the cold wind of the autumn night.

"Hey," Shizi didn't turn around, "Am I... hypocritical?"

"Yeah." Kita didn't deny it. "I can't even find my true self. I pretend to be someone else every day. It's really hypocritical."

However, she took a step forward and hugged Shizi's body from behind.

"But the person I like will work secretly for the band's affairs; the person I like will always fight for everyone's future; the person I like will make himself ugly for a better ending."

Tears finally fell from Shizi's eyes.

Kita leaned on Shiko's shoulder and said, "You are so hypocritical and yet so real, what I like is you."

"Little Shizi."

Shizi turned around and was hugged by Kita, and finally burst into tears.

"I just... want to be friends with Karen... wua ...

Kita's clothes were stained with tears. She gently stroked Shizi's back, over and over again.

An hour later, after taking a group photo, the airship officially bid farewell to the cherubim and slowly took off.

Full speed ahead.

ps: I just received a message from the author in my mailbox, saying that the end remarks of the third volume have passed the review. I immediately???

It turns out that this chapter was not released before... I haven't noticed it before, is that the case?

Chapter 10: I want to eat noodles while writing

The airship flew over the plain.

They were at the edge of the mountain range. To the left of the boat were towering mountains, which were magnificent under the touch of the autumn wind. To the right was an alluvial fan formed by the rushing mountain river, with a wide view and an unobstructed view. After sailing for eight days, they gradually approached the Tower of Babel. Now, the tower became more and more conspicuous in their eyes. With some tricks, they could even see the fine brick seams on the tower.

The sun had just risen and the monsters on the ground were still a bit crowded, but in the sky, on the airship, there was already a place that was noisy.

"Haa ...

"I've only heard of summer fatigue, but never heard of autumn fatigue." Shizi followed behind her, his steps also a little tired.

They had just finished a short instrument practice and were on their way to breakfast.

"Is it because the ventilation in that area is not good?" CHU? said. All the members of RAS followed. Usually, no matter which band they were in, they would not practice together during this time period, and only a few people would practice individually there. But today, when CHU? woke up, she suddenly had an inspiration. In order to seize it, she used her loud voice to drag the rest of RAS to the recording studio.

Under CHU's demand for perfection, the recording studio has barely reached the passing standard. They simply keep the drum set here and move it back to the bar when necessary.

Anyway, all the RAS members went to the recording studio, and Shiko and Kita also practiced there as usual.

As a result, the smaller group withdrew out of embarrassment. Shiko and Kita were too lazy to go somewhere else, and since they could practice their instruments every day, they simply took a day off and sat next to RAS to watch their practice.

The recording studio was originally closed, and Shi Zi's design ability was not very good. The ventilation was not well done, and seven people were crowded inside. CHU? was always shouting, and soon everyone felt uncomfortable. Fortunately, CHU? was soon satisfied and let everyone disperse.

"This area needs to be redesigned," said LAYER.

"Ah..." Shizi covered her head. She got a headache when she thought about it. Why, why didn't any of her friends study civil engineering...

Hong Xia was walking towards them with a dining cart. The sound of wooden fishes could be heard in the corridor.

"Ah, is it this time already?" MASKING wanted to look out the window, but when she turned around, she noticed that there was no window. "I'm really a little confused..." She rubbed the back of her head.

Hongxia stopped the dining cart and knocked on the door next to her: "Hua Lian, get up~" She first shouted at a normal volume, and when there was no response from inside, she knocked again, slightly raising the volume.

There was still no movement in the room.

Hong Xia shook her head, picked up an insulated box from the dining cart, placed it at the door of the room, and continued walking towards the crowd.

"Good morning, Ijichi-senpai." Kita, who was walking in front, was the first to greet.

"Well, good morning." Hong Xia nodded in this direction, "So many people here today?"

"Special circumstances...haah..." Kita yawned again.

"Didn't you sleep well?" Hong Xia asked.

"I'm a little sleepy..." Kita rubbed his eyes, "I'll go to sleep for a while. I won't have breakfast today."

"No." Hongxia packed a smaller box and stuffed it into Xiduo's hand. "You can eat less, but you have to eat at least. An irregular lifestyle is a big taboo."

She looked at the others and said, "You guys can choose for yourselves, what do you want to eat?"

Others came up and took their time to choose.

Shizi was waiting at the end of the line. She looked at the scene and suddenly had a sense of déjà vu: "It feels like a cafeteria."

"But this time there will be no stranger sitting next to you." Hongxia had stood next to Shizi without her knowing.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

After picking the food, the others yawned and left. Shizi was about to go back to her room, but Hongxia suddenly thought of something: "Little Shizi, you and Hualian should still..."

"Ah," Shizi replied, "I apologized... She said that although she could understand it rationally, she still couldn't forgive it emotionally."

After Hua Lian gave birth, she chose to join the others. After all, she didn't want to stay in the Garden of Eden. Not only did she successfully recast the filth accumulated in her body into a sword, but she also restored her original vitality. This huge contrast shocked Yi Li and made the latter have some meaningless expectations of herself. After restarting the Yangjiao Halo, Hua Lian's relationship with everyone quickly became closer, and her relationship with Shi Zi was not bad, but it was a bit awkward to get along with each other.

"Is that so?" Hong Xia smiled slightly, "Then there's no problem."

"No problem?" Shizi asked back. Why did this sentence sound like no problem at all?

"Now that she understands, as they get along better, she will slowly become friends with Xiao Shizi again." Hong Xia said, "After all, Xiao Shizi is essentially a good person. Back then, Xiao CHU? Weren't they also wary of you at the beginning?"

Hongxia left while beating the wooden fish.

Shizi stood there quietly for a while and then went back to his room.

After Shizi left, Hualian quietly opened the door a crack. A messy head poked out, looked around, and found that no one was there, so he breathed a sigh of relief and took the lunch box at the door in.

Shizi's breakfast was noodles with scallion oil. Although Hongxia had never cooked this kind of dish before, it was simple. Shizi recalled the process of the canteen aunt cooking noodles in her previous life. Hongxia tried a few more times and it was almost the same. Now, Hongxia has cooked it very well.

While eating noodles, Shizi looked at the map in her mind. On the map, the distance between them and Poppin'Party was almost zero. Today, she planned to lower the altitude of the airship, fly around, and broadcast. Thinking that she would meet Popipa and the others soon, Shizi was of course excited. LOCK and LAYER obviously thought so too, and they were in a particularly good state today.
