Chapter 68: The Illusion of Life

"Really?"

Xia Ran first narrowed his eyes slightly, and then quickly retracted his expression, and said this with some noncommittality.

"Maybe you were too attentive than Qigu, so you didn't hear it......"

After a whole day, from not being too accustomed at the beginning, to occasionally getting busy with your own things in the middle stage, you will forget to maintain the release of the soft voice technique. By this time, he was basically used to it.

The maintenance of the Whispering Technique requires a continuous consumption of mental energy, but the consumption rate is very slow and slow......

It can be said that in addition to speaking directly, all of Xia Ran's actions are completely silenced, unless his actions cause him to make too much noise, and people outside the range of magic can still hear it.

It's just that the definition of such a loud sound definitely doesn't include footsteps.

Therefore, when it is far away, although it is not within the influence of the light sound technique, Bi Qigu's hearing is not sharp enough to catch the slight sound of footsteps from a distance of tens of meters.

And when he got closer, he had been affected by the unpredictable magical power, and he couldn't hear the sound that should be inaudible.

"Yes, is that so?"

Biqigu got up from the ground and patted the dust on his trouser leg, but he obviously didn't agree with such a perfunctory explanation, and he was still a little shocked.

"Of course...... Okay, the application is here, let's fill it out and don't waste time. ”

Xia Ran didn't plan to explain to the other party in detail, but walked straight into the activity room, put the copy in his hand on a table, and took the book and pressed it aside.

Biqigu subconsciously looked at all the other party's movements, and subconsciously looked at the other party's feet.

It shouldn't be a ghost, there is obviously a shadow, although it is a little lighter, but this should be a problem with the lights, and now there are footsteps...... Could it be that he is really premature and decrepit, and his ears are not good?

"Hey, what are you thinking...... Come over and fill out the form, or are you going to put it off until the end of class? ”

Seeing this, Xia Ran raised his eyebrows, reached out and knocked on the table to make a sound.

"Huh? Oh oh, I'm sorry......" Hikiya was interrupted from his thoughts, and hurriedly responded, and walked over with a hard head, sat down in his chair, looked at the application in front of him, and picked up the pen.

Xia Ran didn't give instructions on the side, anyway, people with normal IQ can write this kind of form by themselves. No matter how bad it is, there are notes at the bottom of each column!

He just walked over and opened the window, then dragged another chair out and sat down, took the book he had placed in the activity room without saying a word, opened it, and read quietly.

“……”

“……”

Bi Qigu, who had been looking at him cautiously, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, since the other party was reading under the sunset that was shining obliquely outside the window, it meant that he was really not a ghost, right?

But then, he was amused by his inexplicable thoughts, ghosts and something couldn't exist in the first place, right? What the hell happened to me just now, why are you thinking like this?

Some things are like this, and after reacting to it, you will feel that you are inexplicable......

Biqigu is like this, just now, his mind inevitably fell into the direction of supernatural thinking because of the observation of certain phenomena, even if reason knew that it was impossible.

And now, he seems to have found strong evidence that something is impossible, and there seems to be enough evidence that there is a more scientific explanation, though he himself is not too willing to admit it.

But reason regained the upper hand again, making him realize how funny his brain circuit really was.

But is it really that simple?

At least, there was still some doubt in his subconscious...... The seeds have been planted, just waiting for the time to take root and sprout.

"Student Xia Ran...... Did something happen to you? Seems like you're not in a good mood all of a sudden? ”

Relaxed, Hikiya glanced at the application, and then at someone who was reading quietly over there, and always felt that the other party seemed to suddenly turn cloudy.

I don't know what's going on.,Come to think of it.,It's supposed to be when the other party went to get the application.,What happened.,And it's probably the kind that makes the other party very unpleasant.。

"No, I'm not in a bad mood...... Than Kiya-san. Xia Ran raised his head and said lightly, "As you can see, I'm very happy now." ”

"Yes, yes?"

That's not what I saw at all! But Biqigu could only laugh a few times, a drop of cold sweat flowed from his forehead, and he stopped talking, this one obviously didn't want to talk about this topic too much.

However, in the general situation, he is not unable to make up for it, after all, the information clues are very sufficient, and Xia Ran just went to the 2nd year J class to find the snow...... Forget it, I still don't make up for it.

It's too dangerous for these top castes to love and kill each other, and it's better to not know some things, so it's better to fill out the form and go back quickly.

……

……

At half past three in the afternoon, the bell rang on time for the end of school.

Many students who did not participate in club activities, or participated in the homecoming club, generally left the school directly if there were no other arrangements.

Xia Ran was alone in the activity room of the Ministry of Service, reading quietly, and after hearing the bell ringing, he put down the book in his hand, raised a finger and rubbed his eyebrows, and yawned.

Maybe it's because he's been releasing the Light Sound Technique all the time, and he's spent a class dedicating to the Kyudo Club to use the λ-DRIVER system, so his mental power is depleting relatively quickly, and it's about to bottom out now.

It was probably the first time in this period of time that he felt that his strong spiritual power was about to be exhausted, tired, sleepy, and wanted to sleep......

However, this was what he wanted to see, and only by repeated squeezing and tempering would his spiritual power grow faster and become more tenacious and strong.

First of all, the first to arrive at the activity room was actually Biqi Valley, although it seemed to be very reluctant on the surface-

Xia Ran was a little skeptical, was it because Teacher Hiratsuka knew that this guy's personality was awkward, and he might have slipped away if he didn't pay attention to it, so he stared at him after class and forcibly forced him to come over to the club.

It's not that he thinks about it for no reason, but it's a very likely thing.

Immediately afterward, it took a few more minutes for Xue Nai to appear in the activity room.

The girl with a cold expression frowned, and seriously looked at Biqigu for a while with a gaze similar to scrutiny, and then turned her head to look at someone on the other side and asked, "Who is this person?" ”

"Hikiya Hachiman...... It should be called that, right? Xia Ran first glanced at her a little strangely, and then replied as if he hadn't found anything, "It's the new member of the ministry today, Minister Under the Snow." ”

“……”

was about to pull out a smile, and the classmate of Biqigu suddenly looked stiff, what should it be called, is it not possible to use a more certain tone?

Perhaps because he was called a minister, Xue Xia raised his eyebrows: "Why would he want to join the Ministry of Service?" ”

"This is not what I want to join...... "Biqigu turned his face away and muttered quietly.

"Because Mr. Hiratsuka felt that he had no friends and was always alone, he seemed pitiful, so he recommended a course of treatment to see the effect." Xia Ran calmly answered the girl's question.

"What is a treatment? Don't say that our club is like a sanatorium......" Xue Xia sighed, "And if that's the reason, isn't it as pitiful as Xia Ran?" ”

“…… Well, under the snow, you don't seem to have any friends. Xia Ran tugged at the corners of his mouth and kindly reminded him.

"Don't talk too much!"

Xue Xia said lightly, and then looked at Bi Qigu on the side: "Is there anything special about him?" Why do you always feel like your eyes are rotten, are you really a student at our school? ”

- Should this woman's eyes be so poisonous......

Bi Qigu couldn't help but get entangled, could his eyes have rotted to such an extent that anyone can see it at a glance?

Hey, is that all you care about?

"A special place? Oh oh oh, of course this one is, and it's very powerful than Qigu......" Xia Ran thought for a moment, then nodded vigorously, and said with admiration.

The tone was very affirmative, full of trust in the contrast to Qigu.

Bi Qigu was stunned for a moment, and then he was moved by this new classmate.

Obviously, he himself has no confidence in himself, but the other party trusts him so much...... Ahh Is there finally anyone willing to believe in him and be able to discover his merits?

Because he was so moved, Bi Qigu felt that he was about to shed tears, and subconsciously pricked up his ears to listen to Xia Ran's positive evaluation of himself.

"He has a hernia! I heard him say it himself, and it felt like he was very powerful......"

The voice of course sounded......

instantly shattered the dreams of the dead fish-eyed boy......

The latter's whole person suddenly turned gray and white, just like in the anime.

“……”

“……”

"Wait, that's what you think makes him special?"

This time, even under the snow seemed to be shocked, she stared at Xia Ran incredulously, is there something wrong with this guy's head?

And at this moment, a faint knock came from outside, interrupting the farce.

"Please come in." A cold voice sounded under the snow.

"Hit, excuse me." It's a girl's voice, and it seems to be a little sharp because of nervousness.

The next second, a girl opened the door a little crack, and then slipped through the small space, as if she didn't want to be seen in her movements. She had shoulder-length wavy brown hair that shook with every step.

"It was Hiratsuka-sensei who asked me to come over......"

Her gaze kept wandering, as if she was probing, until her eyes met Hachiman, who was bent forward in frustration, and suddenly she screamed quietly-

"Why、Why is the squatting family here?!"
