"You know that guy who's in computer science?"
"You mean...?"
"I think his name is Du... Du Ce? Du Ze? Now I remember, his name is Du Ze."
"Oh, you're talking about him, of course I know! I heard that he has poor hearing and is a weird person. He always talks to himself and makes strange movements. People in his class don't get close to him."
"Hey, do you know why? I have a close friend who is a professional. Let me tell you a secret. In fact, that boy seems to be able to see 'those things'."
"'Those things'? ...You mean the supernatural powers?"
"Bingo! That's why that guy is always talking to himself, and other people who are close to him always avoid him for some unknown reason, because of 'those things'."
"Do you believe this rumor?"
"It's not a rumor! Didn't the people from the International Trade Department throw iron biscuits and break the glass last week? Du Ze, who was sitting by the window, was not hurt at all."
“So magical!”
…
Du Ze listened to the conversation between two boys passing by in the corridor, and glanced at the person beside him who made him a supernatural legend on campus.
Noticing Du Ze's gaze, Xiu smiled and asked, "What's wrong?"
Du Ze shook his head, and suddenly realized that this was the strange movement that the boy just mentioned. He froze. Since he started school, Xiu has been hiding his figure and following him to school. Others can't see Xiu, but they can't avoid where Xiu is, so many strange legends have been created.
A certain silly and cute boy thought about it, and shook his head for no reason among a group of students who were attending class seriously. It gave people the feeling that he didn't take his medicine today, and he looked so cute.
And as soon as Du Ze shook his head, things went wrong.
"The boy sitting by the window," the calculus teacher knocked on the desk, "you're shaking your head. Do you have any opinion on what I just said?"
Under the gaze of the whole class, the black-haired young man stood up with a cold face and looked at the calculus teacher without saying a word. The calculus teacher frowned and was about to lecture her, but she felt a sense of danger for no reason - she was like being stared at by a beast. The calculus teacher leaned on the podium with some weakness and laughed dryly a few times; "Sit down, sit down."
As soon as Du Ze lowered half his body, his whole body froze.
[Xiu…!] Du Ze silently called out the name of the beast behind him. Just then, Xiu, who was originally sitting next to him, squeezed in behind him. If he sat down, he would just sit on Xiu's thighs.
Xiu reached out and held Du Ze in his arms. In order to prevent himself from standing out from the crowd, Du Ze could only bend over and half-lay on the table. Since he was sitting in the last row and the armrest of his seat was very high, he couldn't see anything unusual for a while.
【Put me down.】
Xiu glanced at the note passed by Du Ze, and not only did he not let it go, but his beast tail wrapped around Du Ze's arm.
"It's so boring to listen to him." Xiu rubbed Du Ze's neck, "Why don't we do something interesting?"
【I am in class. 】
"I'll teach you when we get back," Xiuman said nonchalantly, "I looked at it in human form yesterday, and it's not that difficult to learn."
--Student tyrants, don't come here to attract hatred! Young man, do you know how many corpses of students Gao Shu (number) has failed (exams)?
"Or I can tell you the answers during the exam."
...No, don't tempt him to fall in such a shameful way! What's even more shameful is that he is moved!
Du Ze could only watch as Xiu's tail snapped his calculus book shut. The man's hand had already reached under his shirt and was stroking back and forth along his waistline.
"You don't have to move." Xiu licked Du Ze's ear, "Just feel me."
“……!”
Du Ze lay on the table, covering his face with his arms to avoid making any strange expressions or noises. Suo Xingxiu was still very sensible, just hugging, kissing, licking and biting - don't leave obvious marks, my Lord!
"Du Ze, didn't you sleep last night? I saw you sleeping on the table." After class, the monitor who came to collect homework asked.
Du Ze's eyes, seemingly cold but actually resentful, moved to the side. "...I didn't sleep well." This was the truth.
"I can see it." The squad leader nodded in understanding. "You must have been bothered by mosquitoes all night yesterday. The back of your neck is covered with red bumps."
Du Ze subconsciously covered his neck and heard the dwarf lying on top of him chuckling, and the back of his ears turned red.
After careful consideration, Du Ze decided to give Xiang Xiu a small, um, suggestion.
"Show your form?" Xiu asked back.
Du Ze nodded solemnly. This was the countermeasure he had thought about all night, and he was severely "punished" by the cute master who was dissatisfied with his distraction. As long as Xiu appeared in front of others, Xiu, who could be seen by others, naturally could not do this or that to him directly. In addition, there was another advantage. Most of Xiu's racial forms could not appear in front of others. Whether it was the beastman, dwarf, elf or dragon, they had to go through some disguises. The celestial race and the demon race were basically impossible to be seen by others. In this way, only the human race and the undead form could be used.
Xiu in human form was very easy to talk to, Du Ze's wishful thinking went smoothly, and Xiu in undead form was not keen on bullying him, so this plan of killing two birds with one stone was perfect--
...What a ghost!
The silly reader completely forgot how much damage his cute master's appearance could do. The repair set by Yi Ye Zhi Qiu was a weapon of mass destruction. When Du Ze and the blond young man in casual clothes went to the teaching building for class, a silly man found that he could not move.
"Classmate, what's your major?"
"Can we be friends? Here are my contact details."
…
"Ah, I saw you in a dream!"
Du Ze stared at the excited boy in front of him speechlessly - yes, it was a boy. The man who claimed that Xiu was his dream lover was a man in every way. So the charm of the cute master has reached the point where it can attract both men and women...
Xiu said nothing and pulled Du Ze away. Under Xiu's aura, no one dared to stop the blond young man.
Even after walking away, Du Ze could still hear the boy shouting from afar: "I really saw you before - weren't you looking for someone named 'Du Ze' at that time -"
……?
Du Ze suddenly looked at Xiu, who smiled at him and said frankly, "Well, he has seen me - because I summoned him once."
Summon...call?
"After destroying the world, I discovered the truth about the world. While trying to leave that world, I kept summoning people from this world to try to find you."
The information contained in this short sentence made Du Ze feel a lump in his throat. Since Xiu came to his side, neither of them mentioned the world of "Mixed Blood". The time they were separated seemed to be a taboo that could not be mentioned or touched.
He wanted to ask Xiu how he was doing after he left, he wanted to ask if Xiu really destroyed that world, he wanted to ask how Xiu came here, there were so many things he wanted to ask, but his current life was so happy that he didn't want to uncover the pile of bones and corpses underneath the happiness.
Du Ze opened his mouth and made a strange sound, not quite like his own voice. "How are you--?"
Xiu stared at Du Ze and shook his head. "It doesn't matter."
--It doesn't matter whether it's good or not.
His heart tightened and even felt painful, Du Ze looked at Xiu Ping's calm expression. With such an answer, your "bad" must make people feel uncomfortable.
Sensing Du Ze's distress, Xiu reached out and touched the back of Du Ze's neck, smiling and soothing him; "We are together now."
--Yes, they are together now, so there is no need to panic or continue to escape.
Du Ze looked at Xiu and asked, "Did you summon the others?"
Xiu hummed, "After learning the truth about the world, I began to try to break through the barriers between worlds, but I didn't have the qualifications - that is, the permission of the founder of this world, so I could only wait. During this period, I studied the summoning law. I tried to summon you, but because the conditions seemed to be wrong, the person who came was not the one I wanted."
Xiu said it lightly, but Du Ze thought of the illusion he had seen before, and felt a chill spreading from the bottom of his heart.
In that closed, empty darkness, how did Xiu keep waiting for the qualification that might never appear? When Xiu waited outside the Wheel of Time for four years, he lost his mind. Judging from the time exchange rate between the two worlds, how did this person spend that almost infinite amount of time?
Du Ze didn't dare to think about it because it was too heavy.
But thinking about the emptiness and darkness after the destruction of the world, Du Ze was almost suffocating.
"Did you...destroy the world?"
When he realized it, Du Ze had already asked the question. Xiu did not answer directly, but suddenly asked another question, "Do you know the 'Proof of Nothingness'? In this world, it is called the Proof of the Devil."
Seeing Du Ze shaking his head, Xiu explained, "Demons are imaginary creatures in this world. It is very easy to prove their existence. Finding a demon is a perfect proof. However, it is almost impossible to prove that there are no demons. Even if you search the whole world and cannot find a demon, you cannot prove that the demon is just hiding in a place you cannot see. Anyone who believes that demons exist can say that demons exist, but it is not true. You just haven't found it yet - I have always believed that you exist, but I just haven't found you yet. Therefore, I have been looking for you in the Chaos Continent for thousands of years, but I still can't find you. "Xiu's blue eyes flashed a dark color, "So I had to start proving your 'nothingness', so I started to destroy the world bit by bit - shrinking the places where you could 'hide' step by step, so that you no longer have any place to 'hide'."
Du Ze's breathing stagnated slightly. He recalled the scenes he had seen in his dreams and in the corridor of time. Didn't Xiu destroy the world because he was deceived?
"By destroying the world, I verified your 'nothingness' - since this world does not have you, and recalling your uniqueness, I realized that you are likely to come from outside the world." Xiu said softly, "So I discovered the truth of the world."
Xiu found the truth of the world and obtained the certificate, so he came to this world. As a price, the world on the other side of the book was destroyed.
Xiu stared at Du Ze's somewhat gloomy expression, "What are you thinking about?"
"Ariel, Enoch...how are they?"
Even if Xiu didn't destroy the world, after such a long time, those who had been with him should be gone.
"Do you want to see them?" Xiu asked.
Du Ze nodded involuntarily.
"Then close your eyes."
Du Ze subconsciously followed Xiu's instructions. Even with his eyes closed, he could feel the light shining on his eyelids first dim, and then suddenly become extremely bright.
"Okay."
Du Ze opened his eyes and lost all words when he looked at the luxurious Baroque-style city in front of him.
This is... the castle in the sky?
Du Ze's pupils suddenly contracted, and he stared at the opposite side without blinking. There, a group of people seemed to be waiting for something boredly. When the short-haired thief among them noticed this side, his expression suddenly became excited.
"Hey, why are you taking so long to come back? I'm getting sick of waiting."
"Young Master, Master Du Ze, long time no see."
"Master Xiu/Your Majesty, you are back."
【Du Ze, I miss you so much. 】
"clang clang-"
A red-gold bird flew across the bright sky and landed gently on Du Ze's shoulder. The fire phoenix rarely looked at its own mother outside, and rubbed Du Ze's cheek with its little head. Du Ze looked at all this in amazement. He turned his head almost mechanically and looked stupidly at the blond young man beside him, his thoughts in a mess.
"On my way out, I met the creator of this world." Xiu Qing smiled and said, "I took the creation rights of this world from him."
The Supreme God of this world kissed the black-haired young man on the forehead and welcomed back his only love.
"Welcome back, Duze."
----------------------------------
Jinyi finally caught a certain Hehe beast at an author reception. When faced with his own editor who came over to settle accounts with him, Yiyezhiqiu simply said very kindly, "I gave "Mixed Blood" to someone else."
"To whom?!"
“The protagonist of ‘Mixed Blood’.”
"..." Jinyi was speechless. Are you still insisting on your fantastic idea that 'this world is a novel'? If you plan to write a new novel on this topic, I will support you with both feet."
Yi Ye Zhi Qiu chuckled, then asked, "Have you ever heard of a brain in a vat?"
"What is that?"
"Suppose your brain was cut from your body by an evil scientist and placed in a tank filled with nutrients to keep the brain alive. The nerve endings of the brain are connected to a computer, which sends information to your brain according to a program so that you can maintain the illusion that everything is completely normal. For you, people, objects, the sky - the whole world exists, and your own movements and body sensations can be input. Your brain can also be input or intercepted with memories, adding a wonderful first love or an unforgettable scandal."
Yi Ye Zhi Qiu looked at Jin Yi who was completely confused.
"So, how do you make sure you're not in this situation?"
"How do you know... that you are not in a novel?"
the end
