On a lazy afternoon, the sunlight was cut into squares by the windows of the tree house, wrapped in the aroma of coffee and ink, and spread on Xiaoxi on the carpet like a dip.

Igula sat next to him, holding a copy of "Ten Rules of a Swindler" in his hand and a cup of steaming coffee in front of him. He asked, "Are you feeling comfortable?"

"It's comfortable. Half of me is exposed to the sun, and the other half is not. Half of me is warm, and the other half is cool." Xiaoxi rolled around on the carpet holding her big tail. "Irina, come over and lie down too. Stop reading."

"No, I like—"

Before Igula could finish his refusal, he was dragged to the ground by Xiaoxi. The tree house changed accordingly. The roof opened, the stars moved, and in an instant the afternoon turned into late night. The stars were shining, the Milky Way was sparkling, and thousands of stars were greeting them.

"I think you will definitely like the starry sky." Xiaoxi said while lying next to Igula.

"Yes, I will only be fascinated by two things - the starry sky and moral laws. The former represents the greatness of nature, and the latter highlights the glory of human nature. Only these two things can make me feel my insignificance."

"But..." Igula raised his hand towards the starry sky, and gently spread his fingers. A blood moon with an oppressive feeling appeared between his fingers. It instantly dispersed countless stars, like a giant eye watching over the earth: "This is the starry sky I am familiar with."

"But it no longer exists." Xiaoxi stretched out her hand and crushed the blood moon: "Whether in dreams or in reality, you don't have to continue living under the moonlight of this blood moon."

"Let's go." Xiaoxi ran with Igula, "Let's go on an adventure!"

Towering ancient forests, mysterious underground palaces full of traps, eerie cities where residents disappeared overnight, mountain villages that worship mysterious religions... It is not known whether this is a bubble copy created in the dream or a treasure in Xiaoxi's mind. The two girls fought their way through these dangerous places. Xiaoxi was responsible for rushing around and risking her life, while Igula was responsible for collecting intelligence and decrypting it. Sometimes they were chased by rolling stones and screamed, and sometimes they saw spectacular and majestic sights.

Finally tired from playing, the two lay on the lawn under the shade of a tree, smelling the scent of grass on each other, lazily seeming to want to fall asleep in a dream.

"Well, let's continue playing together tomorrow!" Xiao Xi said excitedly, "We will challenge the mysterious underwater city tomorrow, but we'd better add Siren blood to ourselves, otherwise it will be difficult to solve the breathing problem underwater..."

"Or is it just the two of us?" Igula asked.

"Yeah, it's fine if it's just the two of us." Xiao Xi said as a matter of course: "I don't want to get to know more people. Too many people will cause conflicts, more than three people will divide us into small groups, and too many voices will cause noise."

"The three words I hate the most are human, society and communication. The life I want most is to be with two people, where we won't feel lonely and can solve conflicts in time. We don't need to talk normally, and we can understand each other's meaning just by looking at each other. What about you?"

Igula was slightly startled. He looked at the fragmented sunlight in the shade of the tree and nodded gently: "Me too. I hate meeting strangers, communicating with others, and a society with many entangled interests."

"Really?" Xiaoxi excitedly lay down beside Igula, "We have an appointment. We will continue our adventure together tomorrow!"

However, Igula did not respond, the sunlight quietly faded away, and dark clouds filled the sky.

“I don’t have to think about interpersonal relationships or conspiracies. I can just use my intelligence and talents to my heart’s content, go on adventures with the people I trust most, enter uninhabited mysterious places, and see long-forgotten wonders of the world… This is indeed the dream life I most yearn for.”

The wind began to blow, the grass bent slightly, and the leaves made crying sounds.

Xiaoxi: “But?”

"But a dream is a dream because it is out of reach." Igulla sat up: "A dream that can be easily realized is meaningless."

Xiaoxi also sat up: "But aren't we dreaming now?"

Bang! As a thunder streaked across the sky, there was a drizzle of rain at first, and then a loud downpour. The shade of the tree was no longer their shelter. The rain wet Igula's hair and blurred Xiaoxi's face.

"Why is it raining?" Xiaoxi took out a big umbrella from somewhere and covered her and Igula together: "Sister Irina, do you like the sound of rain?"

"I don't like rain, but it has been raining here all the time, and I have been getting wet in the rain all the time." Igula said, "So dreaming is meaningless. You can accompany me now, but when you leave, I will still get wet in the rain."

"I will stay with you until the end."

"The last and forever are actually the same word, meaning 'a future so far away that I will break my promise.'"

"But our future is not far away." Xiaoxi blinked: "When the weaving ceremony ends, that day will be our end."

"You don't have to walk the last leg alone. We bought the same ticket to the final stop and will sit together until the final stop."

Igula looked at her calmly: "Do you really want to accompany me?"

"want."

"No regrets?"

"No regrets."

"Huh." Igula sighed: "Okay then."

The rain stopped and the wind died down. Just when Xiaoxi thought that Igula had finally opened his heart, there was a sudden earthquake. The ground collapsed into an arena, and the surrounding area rose up to become an audience seat. The spotlight only shone on the sand at the very bottom and in the center.

"Do you know where this place is?"

Xiaoxi looked up and saw that Igula was no longer dressed as a literary girl, but was wearing a tight combat outfit and was bandaging her arm.

"This is the death arena of Broken Lake Prison," Igula said calmly, "I have broken the ulna of countless villains here and plundered the property of countless bad guys. To be frank, I survived by absorbing nutrients from the dead."

"But Irina, you've already left—"

“I didn’t leave.” Igula shook his head: “I just moved from one Broken Lake to another. As long as I don’t change, everywhere will be a prison for me.”

"But you can change now," Xiaoxi said anxiously, "I will change with you! Don't you want to get rid of the disgusting life you had before and get rid of the disgusting self?"

"Yes, I hope so." Igula lowered his eyelids: "My soul is urging me to accept you. The wall of my heart has been completely destroyed by you. Your words and deeds, your values, your appearance, everything about you is my ideal type. Although I don't know who you are, and I don't know how you read my hobbies, even if you are a trap, you have already completely entered my heart."

"Then why did you—"

"So." Igula took a fighting stance: "You must die."

Xiaoxi was so shocked that she was stunned, not understanding the fraudster's train of thought at all.

"Although I am eager to invade Blood Moon with the Gospel Army, there are still many essences in Blood Moon education that are worth preserving." Igula said coldly: ""All relationships that make you worry will pollute you", "All relationships that make you feel wronged will hurt you", "All relationships that change you will dominate you"... Personal freedom is the foundation of everything, especially for psychics."

"If I'm no longer myself, what's the difference between me and death?"

"I never kill anyone unless they cross my bottom line." Igula said seriously, "And my bottom line is - anyone who can enter my heart, anyone who can break through the wall of my heart, must die!"

"I've already given you a chance, but you refused to leave."

"Wait, wait..." Xiaoxi stepped back and waved her hands: "Your view of love is wrong. There is selfless love in this world that changes for others--"

"I'm sorry, your point of view is wrong." Igula said: "The first rule of a fraudster: believe that everyone in this world is selfish."

When Xiaoxi saw Igula rushing over, she was stunned.

The information doesn't mention that Igula has this kind of trap - it's hard to fall in love with someone, but once you fall in love, you must kill the other person to maintain your purity - how do you find the balance here!

Are all of you Blood Moon people suffering from some serious illness?

"Besides," when Igula rushed into her arms, she heard the Trickster say something very strange: "I have always wanted revenge."

What revenge?

Boom!

The trickster struck with all his strength, and Xiaoxi's figure was blown up like a bubble by one punch!

"call."

Igula let out a long breath, lay tiredly on the sand, raised his fist high, and a flush of excitement appeared on his face.

"Oh no, I really want to punch him in real life."
