Stray Chapter 237: The pursuit of peace of mind is the essence of human beings

When she was about to get off the bus, Yukinoshita got up from her seat first, followed by Xia Ran.

Get off the bus at the station, and the two of them followed the not too dense crowd to the exit.

However, when passing the ticket gate, Yukinoshita stopped a little and turned to look at someone behind him.

After hesitating for a moment, she said, "Speaking of which, Xia Ran, I still feel...very unbelievable."

"What do you mean? Those two gods? That big monster? A very knowledgeable person beyond common sense, or a question about me?" Xia Ran blinked, looking directly into the girl's eyes, her tone was equal said so gently.

He originally thought that today's plot had been triggered all over, and even if Yukinoshita walked away and left without any intention of turning his head, he would not be surprised.

On the contrary, he will understand very well. After all, this is quite normal. If the girl needs a period of time to adjust the world view, then he will not be surprised at all. But what I didn't expect was that it seemed that the other party didn't intend to just go with the flow like that, but to take the initiative to solve psychological problems.

Of course he welcomes it, it's the best option after all.

"...All of the above." Yukinoshita didn't know what he was thinking, just thought for a while, and then gave such a reply very calmly.

"Well, how do you say it? I don't think it's unbelievable. After all, I don't see any difference between you and usual, Mr. Minister."

Xia Ran first carefully observed her eyes and expressions for a while, then withdrew her slightly rude eyes and said with a relaxed smile. Because she is really too calm, no matter her previous performance or her current tone.

To be honest, this kind of psychological quality is really extraordinary, and he even wondered if she was possessed by Kato Megumi.

The girl was stunned for a moment, and then she realized——

This sudden title of "Master Minister" is actually the other party's joking name for her in the service department, because she really belongs to the minister of the service department, and the other party is indeed a member of the service department. .

However, this is the first time this person has called her like this, and at such a time... Yukinoshita took a deep look at the boy in front of her, and suddenly felt inexplicably relaxed for no apparent reason. down.

Although she couldn't say why, there was an unprecedented sense of reassurance suddenly pouring out.

"I just don't think it's necessary to fully expose my inner thoughts, and yelling won't help solve the problem..." But Yukinoshita didn't say anything else, just organized After a few words, he said softly, his tone still seemed flat.

"That's the same, but maybe it's just because you received too much information today? Maybe Yukishita-san, after you go back to sleep tonight and wake up tomorrow morning, it won't be like this again. How do you feel?"

Xia Ran nodded in agreement, and then put forward her own opinion, although it sounds completely meaningless, just like "drinking more hot water", it is better not to say it at all.

"It would be great if it was really like this. I think it's a question of whether I can fall asleep tonight, and I even suspect that I might have nightmares..." Yukinoshita sighed while stroking her temples after listening to this. tone.

"This is definitely not going to happen, it's not a horror movie, and they didn't scare you much..." Xia Ran suddenly burst into laughter, he couldn't imagine that the girl in front of him would shrink under the covers Fearful sleepless scene.

"You're so sure, are you planning to let me go back to sleep and forget all about today's events?"

Yukinoshita looked at him suspiciously.

"...You think too much." Xia Ran began to doubt her impression in the other person's heart.

The girl is obviously not very relieved and still wants to say something, but she suddenly finds herself standing in the middle of the ticket gate, obviously it should have a certain impact on the passengers who also choose to get off at this station. right.

The truth is, no one has pointed this out, not even the staff not far away.

The flow of people passing by them is also automatically diverted, and they walked through the other exits on both sides. At first glance, it seems normal, but after careful observation, you will find that this is not normal at all.

It seems that these people did not want to waste time because they saw someone blocking the front and the middle, so they just walked away. And it's more like they, at this time, completely subconsciously ignored the existence of the middle area of ​​the ticket gate, as if they couldn't see it at all.

It seems to them that at this time, only a few exits on both sides of the entire row of ticket gates are left to go. It seems that the station was designed like this from the beginning, and there is nothing worthwhile. Where they care, they themselves have no doubts.

If you think about it carefully, this kind of thing is really strange... Yukinoshita looked around almost subconsciously, and found that even the noisy station seemed to be quiet since I don't know when down.

It doesn't mean that it is completely muted, but it seems that the insignificant sounds around are filtered once. Although they can be heard, they will not be noisy because of this. It even needs to be captured very carefully to be able to hear those sounds clearly. .

The girl put on a serious look and turned around, frowned and looked at Xia Ran. The tension in her heart only appeared for a short time, and she already understood the reason: "This is what you did?" /

Obviously it's an interrogative sentence, but it seems to be stating a fact she has already established.

"Yeah, then people won't interrupt our conversation..." Xia Ran shrugged and explained it directly, "Who asked you to choose to talk to me here? You don't want to be watched, do you?"

"This... I can't do anything about it, because I'm going to go there next, and it's different from you..."

She explained a little flusteredly, and then she probably thought it was because of her own problems. In order to change the subject or she was really interested, she stared at the person opposite her seriously—

"By the way, how did this happen?"

"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 shouldn't listen to it..." Xia Ran shrugged.

“…”

“…”

"Magic..." Yukinoshita murmured, then looked up at him, "Student Xia Ran, can you tell me that you should have been an ordinary human before?"

"Yes..."

The boy said with a smile, he didn't intend to hide it, and there was no need.

After calming down, it is normal for this girl to be able to perceive these clues, especially when her real-world information is relatively open and transparent, and the other party is also very clear.

"What happened last year?" Quickly thinking about it in her mind, Yukinoshita asked tentatively, she thought this should be the most likely.

"Have you found it? It's really understandable... It can be said that my changes started at that time last year."

Xia Ran nodded, did not deny her guess... just added a sentence in her heart - it was indeed the "last year" in the objective level of this world, although the powerful memory brought by his current powerful intelligence attributes Ability, I also feel that it is a long time ago, and the impression is relatively vague.

The black long straight girl also nodded thoughtfully, and seemed to be somewhat relieved. She felt that the instinctive fear was relieved again, because her guess was correct, at least this guy Not that it was inhuman from the start.

Although she may not be a human being in the strict sense now, she is not a natural "monster" either... She was relieved to be sure of this, although it didn't really make any sense, but The psychological feeling to her is completely different.

After thinking for a while, she remembered another thing: "Then your eyes..."

"Ah, that, it was a small accident. I saw a magic scroll that I shouldn't be looking at, and the price I paid was temporary blindness..."

Xia Ran was very honest and answered the question directly.

"A magic scroll that shouldn't be read? Will you be temporarily blinded?" The girl frowned, "Is there really such a thing?"

"Yes, and there are quite a few, especially those ancient books written in pre-human languages, such as "Necronomicon", "Key of the Old Gods", "Nayako Photo Album" what..."

Xia Ran said solemnly.

"It's perfectly normal for people who have experienced them to go insane, die horribly, or just simply disappear. It's better to believe those old myths and legends, they survive for a reason .”

"Then your field is too dangerous, and is there something strange mixed in..."

Yukinoshita sighed, put her hand on her forehead and said, not knowing whether the other party was joking or serious. And she feels that she has been doing this action all the time today, and she may sigh more times than in her entire life.

However, some of the doubts before have always existed in my heart, and now they are finally solved - it is just that there is no need to confirm them one by one, as long as you understand the most fundamental and critical part, it is enough.

Xia Ran shrugged and didn't answer the question.

“…”

“…”

Next, there is a moment of silence, of course.

"I don't have any problems now... Xia Ran, let's go."

Yukinoshita thought and thought, but did not come up with any tangled things.

Although there was no smile or special expression on her face, her eyes fell to the ground without looking at Xia Ran. But the latter can be felt, and she seems to be really relieved now. As if confirming a very important thing and unraveling a certain knot in the heart.

So he nodded, thinking about whether he had chosen the option to end the day if it was in some word game.
