Chapter 314 Omphalos
"—At that moment, Xia modified herself to look like you.
To be precise, it is the grown-up you that he imagined, and also the talented you that he imagined.
“…”
To be honest, you initially thought that he wanted to continue his sister's life in himself and didn't care about the direction of this crazy experiment.
…He did scare you a little bit.
At the end of this round, Kaeslan was still in a trance when he looked at Kexia's face, but he suddenly realized inexplicably that face did not seem to be an important sign to identify you.
And you're okay with that.
With the example of the Sersis version, you do have a little resistance now, but not much - I have to say, if some faces are played by someone else, it's like a succubus's attributes explode.
At this moment, your memories shifted to another film set, with Xiadie's twin camera-watching team.
You don't look in the mirror very often because there's someone else in the world who shares your face most of the time. The only difference is that your eyes are round and short, while hers are flat and long.
Being moved by the sight of something, being reminded of someone...any way of putting it makes sense.
In short, the juvenile form is okay, but if it is of normal size, you always deliberately avoid it.
But in Omfalos, you'll find yourself reflected in the mirror, looking like you've been tainted by Cronus, and there's a reason for that...
"Come! I'll take you to a place!"
"What?"
"It's my secret base~"
The pink-haired girl smiled and linked her fingers.
"Is there anything beyond the Lost Secret Realm?"
"Of course~ I'm bringing you there this time just to show you the treasures of Ailimishie!"
But you walked over and lowered your head as she instructed, "Here, here! Look carefully--"
No kidding, you really thought at first that just like the fairies in the lost secret realm resembled Lannaro on Mount Sumeru, there also existed a place under the pool of Elimise, similar to the Haimo Village in Fontainebleau where Meilushin lived.
"Isn't it really cute?"
The blurry figures of people and Xilian were reflected in the clear pool of water.
“…”
To be honest, apart from a moment of speechlessness, you felt relieved at that time.
"Of course!" You couldn't see your face clearly, but that didn't stop you from holding your head high and chest puffed out with pride.
"Haha~ Seeing you happy, I feel much more relieved~" Xi Lian's laughter was melodious, like singing. "But, according to the priest knowledge I learned by myself, you have lived for a very long time, right?"
She blinked mischievously, "You always look like you have something on your mind. Even if this much time passes, you won't grow any taller~"
"How is that possible!" You denied flatly, "I'm very tall! Even if I were the same size as you, I wouldn't be like the pink fairy, who stopped growing halfway! I'd be taller than Kaerslan!"
"Even higher than Beomphalos! Bigger than the stars in the sky!"
Xi Lian stretched out the syllables, "Hey~ How can you say that to such a cute girl?! Pink fairy, well... considering that I'm a neighbor of the purple fairy, I won't take it too seriously~"
You would like to argue for yourself about the feasibility of changing to a blue fairy, but... Geomon is purple, so Geomon's doll costume is also purple.
So, even though you opened your mouth, Xilian still took over the conversation.
"If you are really taller than Omphalus, then wouldn't this be a romantic story?"
?
You slowly typed a question mark.

“Where’s the romance?”
"Oh, close your eyes and imagine it carefully~" The evil fairy began her deceptive performance again, full of emotion, "A being bigger than the stars..."
"Turning into a tiny person, landing in the golden wheat fields of Elemishea~"
You couldn't help but interject, "Does this also require imagination?"
"Don't be anxious. I just thought of it. Can't you be more patient and encouraging?" Xilian continued, "But why is it that a star is as delicate as a child?"
"What could be clearer than the clouds and rain in the sky?"
"What could be more lively and vivid than the birds in the sky, the fish in the sea, and the young deer on the ground?"
It doesn't sound like a brain teaser, nor does it sound like abstract philosophy. Surprisingly, you're familiar with this form of question?
Why?
Need I say more? This is the fairytale style.
Xi Lian leaned close to your ear and whispered, "The answer is a heart~"
"If a being larger than the stars were walking through the world, measuring the earth with its tiny footprints, then the only thing capable of such a sharp reaction would be the abandonment of everything else, leaving only a wandering heart.
"Every time this happens, people feel really sorry," she said with a smile. "You have a gentle face, but people can't see you grow up."
Xilian covered your eyes and guided your hand to touch her facial features.
"Why don't you want to grow up?" she asked softly.
You don’t remember the rest of the conversation very clearly.
This is an episode that happened a long time ago, and you remember it, perhaps because you were indeed impressed by the word "gentleness"?
You're not sure.
Because you don’t look in the mirror often, you are not very familiar with your face.
Remember, recollection is a specialized brain information processing mode. To achieve the purpose of recollection, people often recall the past from a third-person perspective. However, in reality, the brain isn't very familiar with the person's face, even less so than with friends or classmates who are constantly around.
Of course, in your case, your sister obviously fits this face better and is a better match.
This is not a contradiction.
Xilian's adjectives were a bit exaggerated, but while you were impressed, you were not that surprised.
Before the label of "gentle" appearance was refreshed, you were generally more familiar with this sentence:
"What have you done with that face?!"
If you think about it carefully, it makes sense. Your sister uses facial features similar to yours, but she imbues them with an air of effortless reliability, a halo of genius, and a distant social distance.
You usually associate this contrast with: a husky straying into a wolf pack.jpg
So, in this case, there is no more meaning in moving forward in time.
In contrast, Kaeslan didn't know about the episode between you and Xilian. He just showed a rather shaken expression in the face of the mask that had become more and more solid after thousands of endless reincarnations when facing Kexia after his cognition was modified.
Specifically, it manifests as...
He grabbed your face (bushi) with a chuckle.
Well, Kaeslana’s claws are quite sharp. Even if he knew that you would not be burned by hundreds of millions of fire seeds, he would not act so rashly.
At this stage, his vision is often extremely blurry.
The mint-green Na Ke Xia was easy to spot, and the earth-beast-purple You was no less impressive. But as he decisively dispatched Na Ke Xia, he lost track of who he was directing [Invasion of the Morning] at.
Until you come closer, he ghostly takes off his cold and sharp gauntlets, his movements looking like he wants to hug you, but in the end he just holds your face with his hands.
There would be no more, after all, his tears would be evaporated by the fire.
At that time, your face was expressionless, but according to Kaeslana, no matter how immature you look, the emotions flowing in your eyes will never lie."
"—Your eyes are round and short, and my sister's eyes are flat and long.
Even your features are similar to those of huskies and wolves. But you are not dogs or wolves after all.
When you were a little kid who liked to whimper around your mother, if you were a little more obedient, you would look quite well-behaved and even be able to fool people.
The fox people in Xianzhou have a coquettish look that comes from this.
Then your sister started to imitate you in interacting with others. At first, you felt goosebumps all over your body, and your reaction was even more intense than a kitten's panting to show its stress.
However, according to the law of conservation of twins (?), the more obedient she is, the more rebellious you will be accordingly.
People are a little more irritable, but they are also happier.
Perhaps because of this, a new world has opened up for you. Good children gain the love of their elders, while bad children gain the experience of youth.
It doesn't necessarily mean breaking the rules and order. Maybe you just need to skip evening self-study and walk from school to the Internet cafe. That is freedom.
In short, this period passed by in a blur. You didn't want to be a well-behaved child, so you viciously adopted some of your sister's unruly nature.
It seems that the barrier to the face was formed at this time?
Not very clear.
If you don't blend each other's characteristics like a bottle of overturned paint, then you will only do what most people imagine this face will do.
In fact, you never quite understand what this kind of thing means. You can only infer from An Su's academic genius temperament... and then come up with the character of a youthful campus academic genius male second.

Oh, and by the way, she's not the type of girl who's always been so beautiful. According to her personality, she should be gentle, cunning, and naturally evil.
That's outrageous.
But if you continue to like to be praised by your parents, you may indeed embark on the path of studying step by step, rather than developing various hobbies discovered because of self-focus at a young age.
——There’s really nothing I can do. You’re equally popular no matter whether you’re given different scripts.

…You didn’t go in that direction.
Just like your sister, who makes her eyes round and bright, her perfectly normal almond-shaped eyes can also have a bit of clarity. When you laugh, cry, or get angry, your eyebrows and eyes will take on a bit of dramatic exaggeration, just like your sister.
Yes, hyperbole, you used that word.

The crazy style is still too easy to scare people. At most, you can grin a few more degrees, bend your eyes a little more, and raise your head a few more... It's crazy and reassuring.

Therefore, only when there is no expression on the face can you get a glimpse of purity - whether it is you or her.
"You..." Kaeslan tried hard to blink his dry eyes, but the black lumps that almost filled the whites of his eyes did not change at all.
I could feel his fingertips trembling. He couldn't see your appearance clearly, nor did he have the courage to touch your outline with his clumsy hands to confirm it.
"Kaeslana." You suddenly spoke in a raspy voice, holding your breath, and pointed at him pretentiously, "You are truly the worst student I have ever taught!"
“…”
He immediately released his strength as if he had breathed a sigh of relief, and knelt heavily on the ground without saying anything, just remaining silent.
After that, you thought about it and patted Kaeslana's head again, "But, he is the best savior."
