Chapter 237: The pursuit of peace of mind is the essence of human beings
When he was about to arrive at the station where he got off the train, he got up from his seat first under the snow, and Xia Ran followed behind.
Getting off at the station, the two followed the not-so-dense flow of people to the exit.
However, as he passed through the ticket gate, he stopped a little under the snow and looked back at someone behind him.
She hesitated for a moment before she spoke: "Speaking of which, classmate Xia Ran, I still feel ...... It's unbelievable. ”
"What do you mean? Those two gods? The big monster? Something other than common sense, or is it about me? Xia Ran blinked, looked directly into the girl's eyes, and said in a rather gentle tone.
He originally thought that today's plot had been triggered, and then even if he walked away directly under the snow, he didn't mean to turn his head at all, he wouldn't feel surprised.
On the contrary, he will be very understanding.,After all, this is really normal.,If the girl needs a while to adjust the worldview,Then he won't be surprised at all.。 But what I didn't expect was that it seemed that the other party didn't plan to go with the flow like that, but to take the initiative to solve psychological problems.
Naturally, he is infinitely welcome to this, after all, it is the best choice.
“…… All of the above. Xue Xia didn't know what he was thinking, but thought for a moment, and then gave such a reply very calmly.
"Well, how do you say that? I can't see anything unbelievable, after all, I don't think you're any different than you always are, Minister. ”
Xia Ran first carefully observed her eyes and expression for a while, and then withdrew her slightly rude gaze and said with a relaxed smile. Because she's really too calm, whether it's her previous performance or her current tone.
To be honest, such a psychological quality is really outstanding, and he even wonders if she is possessed by Megumi Kato.
The girl was slightly stunned, and then she reacted-
This sudden title of "Minister" is actually the other party jokingly calling her by the community of the Ministry of Service, because she is indeed the minister of the Ministry of Service, and the other party is indeed a member of the Ministry of Service.
It's just that this is the first time this person has called her like this, and at such a time...... Under the snow, he glanced deeply at the young man in front of him, and suddenly felt that his heart seemed to relax inexplicably for no reason.
Although she herself couldn't say why, there was a sense of peace of mind that she had never felt before.
"I just don't think there's any need to fully expose my inner thoughts, and yelling won't help solve the problem......" But Xue Xia didn't say anything else, just organized the language and whispered, the tone was still flat.
"That's the same, but maybe it's just because the amount of information you're getting today is too large, right? Maybe after you go back to sleep tonight, you won't feel like this again when you wake up tomorrow morning? ”
Xia Ran nodded in agreement, and then put forward his own opinion, although it sounded meaningless at all, just like "drink more hot water", it was better to not say it at all.
"If only that were the case, I think it's a question of whether I'll be able to sleep tonight, and I even suspect I might have nightmares......" Snow sighed as she stroked her temples.
"This definitely won't, it's not a horror movie, and they didn't scare you much, right......" Xia Ran suddenly laughed dumbly, he couldn't imagine that the girl in front of him would shrink into the bed and be afraid of sleeping.
"You're so sure, aren't you going to let me go back to sleep and forget about today's events?"
Xue Xia looked at him suspiciously.
“…… You're thinking too much. Xia Ran began to doubt his impression in the other party's heart.
The girl was obviously not too relieved, and still wanted to say something, but suddenly found that the two of them were standing in the middle of the ticket gate, which should have had a certain impact on the passengers who also chose to get off at this station.
The truth is, however, that no one has pointed it out, not even the staff not far away.
The flow of people passing by them was also automatically diverted, and they walked through the other exits on both sides. At first glance, it seems normal, but upon closer inspection, it becomes completely abnormal.
These people didn't seem to want to waste time because they saw someone in the front and in the middle, so they just walked from the side. And it's more like they completely subconsciously ignored the existence of the middle area of the ticket gate at this time, as if they couldn't see it at all.
It seems that for them, at this time, there are only a few exits left on both sides of this whole row of ticket gates, and it is almost as if the station was designed this way from the beginning, there is nothing to care about, and they themselves have no doubts.
If you think about it, this kind of thing is really weird...... Under the snow, I looked around almost subconsciously, and found that I don't know when it started, and it seemed that even the station that was a little noisy had become quiet.
It's not that it's completely silenced, but it's as if the inconsequential sounds around you have been filtered out, and although you can hear them, they don't seem noisy, and you even need to capture them very carefully to be able to hear them clearly.
The girl turned around with a serious expression, frowned and looked at Xia Ran, the tension in her heart only appeared for a short time, and she already understood what the reason was: "You did this?" ”
It's obviously a question sentence, but it seems to state the facts she has long determined.
"Yes, then no one will disturb our conversation......" Xia Ran shrugged his shoulders and explained very directly, "Who made you choose to talk to me here?" You don't want to be watched, do you? ”
"This ...... I can't help it, because I'm going to go that way, and it's not the same way as you......"
A little flustered explained, and then probably felt that it was because of her own problem, in order to change the topic or be really interested, she stared at the person opposite seriously-
"Anyway, how the hell is that done?"
"It's just a very basic magic principle, if you want to understand, I can explain it to you in detail, but I guess you won't be able to listen to it......" Xia Ran shrugged.
“……”
“……”
"Magic...... Xue Xia muttered, then raised her eyes to look directly at him, "Xia Ran, can you tell me that you should have been an ordinary human before, right?" ”
"yes......"
The young man said with a smile, there was no intention to hide it, and there was no need.
After this girl calmed down, it was normal for her to be able to detect these clues, especially when the information in her real world was relatively open and transparent, and the other party was very clear.
"Did something happen last year?" Thinking quickly in her mind, she asked tentatively under the snow, she thought this should be the most likely.
"Did you find out? Indeed, it can be understood in this way...... I can say that my change started at that time last year. ”
Xia Ran nodded, not denying her speculation...... just added in his heart secretly - it is indeed the "last year" on the objective level of this world, although with the strong memory ability brought by his current strong intelligence attributes, he also feels that it was a long time ago and his impression was relatively vague.
The black straight girl also nodded thoughtfully, as if somewhat relieved, she felt that instinctive fear was reduced a little again, because her guess was correct, at least this guy was not inhuman from the beginning.
Although it may not be strictly human now, it is not a natural "monster" either...... Determining this naturally made her feel a great sigh of relief, although it didn't actually make any sense, but it gave her a completely different psychological feeling.
After thinking about it for a while, she remembered another thing: "Then your eyes were ...... before"
"Ah, that's, it was a little accident, I saw a magic scroll that I shouldn't have seen in an unsuspecting situation, and the price I paid was temporary blindness......"
Xia Ran was very honest and answered this question directly.
"A magic scroll that shouldn't be seen? Will you be temporarily blind when you see it? The girl frowned, "Is there really such a thing?" ”
"Yes, and there are quite a few, especially those ancient texts written in the language before the advent of humans, such as the Necronomicon Book, the Key of the Old Gods, and the Naiko Photo Book......
Xia Ran said seriously.
"It's normal for people who read them to go insane, die horribly, or simply disappear outright. It is best to believe in those old myths and legends, which have survived for a reason. ”
"Then your realm is too dangerous, and is there something strange mixed in with it......
Xue Xia sighed, put his hand on his forehead and said, I couldn't tell whether the other party was joking or serious. And she felt like she had been doing it all the time today, and she probably sighed more than she had done in her entire life.
However, some of the previous doubts have always existed in my mind, and now they have finally been solved - there is no need to confirm them one by one, as long as the most fundamental and crucial part is clarified, this is enough.
Xia Ran shrugged his shoulders and did not answer the question.
“……”
“……”
Then, of course, there was a brief silence.
"I don't have any problems now...... Xia Ran, let's go. ”
Xue Xia thought about it and thought about it, and didn't come up with any more tangled things.
Although there was no smile or special expression on her face, her eyes fell to the ground and she didn't look at Xia Ran. But the latter can be felt, and she seems to be really relieved now. It was as if something very important had been confirmed and a knot had been untied.
So he nodded, wondering if he had chosen to end the day if it was some word game.
