The surrounding area was filled with a chilling wind, and the temperature seed to be frozen in ti.
Cups and forks danced around, the red tea sang with the bandages.
[WARNING-008·Xiao Bai Flower] swayed, with the Second Rabbit’s wooden tag hanging from its stem.
——The Second Rabbit excelled at writing nursery rhys. In a mory Su Ming’an once observed, Xi Li had written rhys and was fond of the Xiao Bai Flower. Although he didn’t think 008 was Xi Li, this connection seed the only one.
[WARNING-002·Utility Knife Boy] smirked, with the Ninth Rabbit’s wooden tag hanging around his neck.
——The Ninth Rabbit yearned for family, wanting to transform from a rabbit into a human. Su Ming’an’s understanding was: [An illusory being desires to beco real], matching the traits of Wu Yi. Of course, he didn’t believe 002 was Wu Yi himself, more like soone resembling him.
The yet-to-be-determined rabbits are only the Big Rabbit, who massacred companions; the Sixth Rabbit, a staff mber; and the Twelfth Rabbit, with no hints whatsoever.
The yet-to-be-determined mysteries include the blond youth 003 with a doll, the girl 011 covered in whip marks, and the bird-beaked person 001.
Qi Mon had already tested that the Sixth Rabbit did not correspond to 003, so it could only correspond to 011 or 001. Then, between 011 and 001, who seed more like a staff mber? Undoubtedly, 001 appeared more fitting, especially since 001 also had the role of the "Cat Boss."
But just as he was about to hang the wooden tag, Su Ming’an hesitated for a mont—if 001 was the Sixth Rabbit, disregarding the unknown Thirteenth Rabbit, it ant the Big Rabbit and the Twelfth Rabbit could only correspond to 003 and 011.
"The Twelfth Rabbit lay in the arms, killed by the Big Rabbit..."
Therefore, there were only two possibilities: either the blond youth 003 died in the embrace of the bandage girl 011, or the bandage girl 011 died in the arms of the blond youth 003.
Nevertheless, most participants overlooked that the Twelfth Rabbit wasn’t without a hint: one was "died in the arms," and another was the first line of the nursery rhy, "the Twelfth Rabbit burned." If the Twelfth Rabbit burned to death, it indeed matched the bandaged appearance of 011. anwhile, the blond youth 003 seed wicked at first glance, fitting the role of the Big Rabbit.
Thus, the correct answer was: blond youth 003 - villainous Big Rabbit, bandage girl 011 - the burnt Twelfth Rabbit, Cat Boss 001 - staff mber Sixth Rabbit.
In this way, everything seed logically complete and matched perfectly, as if the entire puzzle was without any difficulty...
Right.
As Su Ming’an hung the tag, he noticed Shen Xue’s cool smile beside him.
A cold breeze swirled around the back of his neck, as if hearing the whisper of death, freezing and clinging like ice.
He thought of the "Thirteenth Rabbit," not ntioned at all in the nursery rhy beyond the initial part, with only twelve mysteries being revealed.
"The Thirteenth Rabbit sat on the ground crying, Chen Qingguang asked why it was crying? The Thirteenth Rabbit said: The rabbits will never return..."
There were thirteen rabbit tags, but only twelve mysteries, which ant one rabbit tag wouldn’t be placed. So, who was the extra rabbit tag for?
Su Ming’an opened the mory Palace in his mind and reviewed the nursery rhy again.
He had seen the na Chen Qingguang more than once, like a cockroach appearing in every corner. This person had left literature under the Supre Lord’s domain and also appeared on Su Ming’an’s Ring of Ti—who exactly was he?
To be safe, Su Ming’an directly reached out and peeled away 011’s bandages. Since this mystery ranked lower and was quite harmless, he saw that beneath the bandages was not a burn.
...Indeed, it was a trap.
The hint of the Twelfth Rabbit being "burnt" couldn’t be groundless. If a puzzle requires a wild guess, then it wouldn’t be the World Ga.
So, between the blond youth 003 and the bird-beaked person 001, which seed like being burnt? Su Ming’an had seen his body, without any burn marks. But if it was 003, the logic seed wrong as well, because the blond youth didn’t have burn marks either...
Suddenly, a flash of genius struck his mind, and he understood.
"I see..." he smirked and promptly hung the Twelfth Rabbit’s wooden tag around the blond youth’s neck.
The blond youth placed a hand over his chest and bowed slightly, without any additional actions.
The answer was correct.
"Why?" Card Hui Zi couldn’t help but be surprised.
Su Ming’an did not answer her, still holding the Big Rabbit, the Sixth Rabbit, and the final Thirteenth Rabbit tags.
He made a move that shocked everyone.
——He hung the Big Rabbit’s tag around his own neck.
——He hung the Thirteenth Rabbit’s tag around the neck of the bandage girl 011.
——Finally, he took the Sixth Rabbit’s tag and walked toward Shen Xue standing beside him!
Clang——clang——
At that mont, an eerie wind blew, and the tags swayed.
Mizushima Kawa Sora’s outstretched hand froze in mid-air, as she saw all mysteries halted their dance.
"Staff mber... you an Shen Xue!?" Mizushima Kawa Sora exclaid in shock, "But... she’s not one of the mysteries!"
Quickly, she realized they had entered a misconception from the start. The mysteries never said the tags could only be hung on the mysteries; it was her own assumption.
But why should the Twelfth Rabbit be the unburnt 003, and why should the Thirteenth Rabbit be the bandage girl 011?
Shen Xue lifted her skirt, her gaze moist and charming, looking deeply at the approaching Su Ming’an: "My prince, you’ve finally co..."
"Did I choose correctly?" Su Ming’an spoke as a statent.
At this mont, the bandage girl 011 removed her bandages, revealing a head of beautiful pink hair, her eyes cold and inorganic.
In her hands was a book, which she suddenly opened, and all the participants seed to be drawn into it—
...
Once upon a ti, there was a group of naless ones.
They actually had nas, but compared to big nas like Sique and Yijulai’er, their nas were like specks of historical dust, dispersed by the wind.
Because history couldn’t recall their nas, even the Olivius group didn’t rember them, thus here they could only be referred to by the animal "rabbit," called "Big Rabbit to Thirteenth Rabbit."
Su Ming’an, in a daze, saw—individual silhouettes used to gather, wielding pens to rewrite the world.
"We must gather to rewrite the world!"
"What’s the point of rewriting? It will just ss up the world!"
"——So, we must build a [Nest]! To protect the world! To protect our holand! Haha, Chen Qingguang, we all believe in you, so you will lead us!"
Chen Qingguang, the only na appearing in this story called "Disciple Ga."
He led a group of ambitious companions, their pen strokes daring and boundless as they conquered the skies to change the moon, allowing moonlight to shine into the frigid lands, and they ventured into the seas to reform, pushing tsunamis away from villages.
...
"The twelve rabbits built a nest, united with resonant strength."
"They gathered straw and carrot pens, constructing a warm nest and high walls."
...
The Second Rabbit, a white-haired girl, adored poetry and was the most adept at whimsical imagination among the rabbits. One day, her pen touched upon a concept—"What if the universe had reincarnation?"
She rejoiced in this flash of inspiration and shared it with her companions, delightful to everyone, and they began brainstorming around the table.
"I speculate that within the universe exists a group who observe and rember without restraint!" they discussed, like a group of inspired creators.
"Then I guess there exist ’readers’ in this world who are without any reservations!"
"Hmm... I guess they are scattered across various civilizations, communicating through so ans... Should we set this as telepathy, golden finger system, or dreams?"
"This is such an interesting setting! Writing this story will increase the level of our Creator!"
Little did they know, all spoken words are destined to be known.
When their inspiration reached out to the concept of "Awakener," the Awakeners themselves discovered them.
Although the rabbits thought of this concept unintentionally, if it spread throughout the whole of Luowasha, there would definitely be soone who truly realizes the existence of the Awakeners.
This is the original sin of the Creators.
Therefore, the white-haired girl who first thought of this inspiration... disappeared.
...
"The Second Rabbit was skilled at writing ballads, its pen sharp and sturdy. One day, its pen grew long, reaching the sky outside the nest. The Second Rabbit said—’Soone is watching us! The reader is watching us! Look closely and hide!’
"Twelve rabbits gathered to look outside—only to see eyes in the sky!"
...
Awakeners are divided into the Peaceful Faction and the Radical Faction, the forr supports ’Awakeners should not interfere with the story itself, maintaining the independence of each world,’ while the latter opposes.
The leader of the forr is "Lü God," with representatives such as "Bai Qiu" and "Yi Song," while the leader of the latter is "Pudding," with representatives such as "Bai Chun" and "Noel."
After the Second Rabbit was killed by the Radical Faction, the Peaceful Faction acted in ti, protecting the remaining rabbits.
Lü God said coldly, "The rabbits rely got a good story inspiration without truly realizing our existence. There’s no need to exterminate them completely."
Pudding said indifferently, "No, the rabbits must be killed entirely to ensure the master’s peace. To prevent more and more people in this world from using us as a story motif, or even writing about our mundane love stories, War God Dragon Kings, and multiple pregnancies, interfering with our observation."
Lü God said, "How about a compromise? Spare the lives of the rabbits, but make them work for us, not allowing them to spread externally."
Pudding said, "They are crafting the Disciple Ga, aren’t you afraid that later Su Ming’an and others will co, touch this story, and uncover all our secrets?"
Lü God said, "There’s no certainty that Su Ming’an is our enemy; he will most likely stand by your side, Miss Heir."
Pudding was noncommittal, also believing that Su Ming’an would likely choose to help her, the popular ’Magic Girl,’ rather than the lesser-known Heir Lü God.
The rabbits were spared a life.
However, from that point on, the Third Rabbit beca ntally unstable, mumbling continuously, always talking about his granddaughter:
"Have you seen my granddaughter, the Second Rabbit?"
"Ah, she was such a good child... Her literature level was excellent, always chanting poems that even I couldn’t understand, and she was good-looking, with beautiful eyes..."
"I’m getting old, my eyes aren’t good, can’t read those words, but fortunately, my granddaughter helps ..."
"Granddaughter, granddaughter... Ah, what was my granddaughter’s na, why can’t I rember..."
After the Second Rabbit was erased by the Awakeners’ rubber, no one rembered what the Second Rabbit’s na was or what they looked like. It was as if only a peaceful, smiling face floated vaguely in their minds...
The Third Rabbit went completely mad, the other rabbits helplessly could only take care of the aging one. Little did they know, one day, the Third Rabbit’s eyes suddenly turned clear, and taking advantage of the ti when the Awakeners ca to force them to write, the Third Rabbit picked up a hunting rifle and rushed out, aiming at the arriving Awakeners—
No one anticipated that the Third Rabbit, who had been crazy for several years, was actually always awake. This old man feigned madness, drooled, and rolled his eyes for the last few years of his life, waiting for the mont when the Awakeners would let down their guard, to avenge his granddaughter.
...
"The Third Rabbit lowered its head, weeping tears, vowing revenge for the Second Rabbit! It picked up a hunting rifle and aid it at the sky, ’Bang!’ it fired!"
...
"Bring my granddaughter back—bastard!!!"
"Bang!"
...
Su Ming’an walked forward.
In the bathroom, the ceiling turned into book pages, the walls into book spines.
Kaidan continued to dance, Shen Xue sang Alice’s ballad, and people walked through the rabbits’ stories, with doors opening for them.
A rabbit carrying a pocket watch hopped past Su Ming’an, causing him to pause abruptly as he recognized the wooden plaque in the rabbit’s hand belonged to ’Big Rabbit.’
The wooden plaque originally around his neck sohow ended up in the rabbit’s hand.
"Wait!" Su Ming’an imdiately ran after it, chasing the rabbit.
...
"The rabbits picked up carrot pens, knives, forks, and hamrs by their sides, shiny buck teeth as weapons, sharp claws as long spears! Together they fought against the eyes, their blood boiling as they charged into battle!"
...
With a gunshot, following the lead of the Third Rabbit, the rabbits collectively resisted, attacking the Awakeners, thrusting knives and spears into flesh until the Awakeners beca a bloody ss.
But later, the rabbits learned that the Awakeners were possessing the Luowasha people, with their true selves in dreams. The rabbits’ attack only killed a group of innocent possessed Luowasha people.
...
"Ten rabbits gathered round, burying the rabbits and the gun!"
...
The rabbits’ hands were stained with blood, having killed innocent possessed brethren... they could not forgive themselves.
They buried the gun, knowing they couldn’t resist the Awakeners.
The Fourth Rabbit rebelled, walking towards the dream land with a smile, waving a hand:
"Under the suppression of civilization level, resisting is aningless."
"I’m going to seek the truth, to seek freedom, while you all remain on the land, pointlessly guarding."
It turns out the naless ones’ struggle was as fragile as the wind, leaving no trace when the wind blew past.
They were neither heroes nor saviors; they could accomplish nothing.
...
"Stop!" Su Ming’an chased after the pocket watch rabbit as the surroundings suddenly beca bizarrely colorful, like viscous liquid rainbows.
Under his feet, there was a creaking sound, as if he had returned to the wooden loft of White Sand Paradise, his vision filled with blood red, shrinking into a black circle.
Unbeknownst to him, the SAN gauge in the upper left corner had depleted as the Kaidan danced.
At this mont, he saw at the end of the corridor, a blurred figure standing.
That person wore glasses, gentle and elegant, as if Xia Luoyang was smiling at him.
...
The Fifth Rabbit was a history teacher, wearing glasses, gentle and elegant. He had enough of history being wantonly altered, and he joined the rabbits to restore history.
