Stray Chapter 154: Is this Cha Gang?
The afterglow of the setting sun shines so obliquely that it drags the shadows of pedestrians on the street long.
Yubahama Yui said she was going to find Hikiya Hachiman, but she never came back. She was probably held back by the latter who knew how to judge the situation and watch the situation, so she didn't run away foolishly. return.
After all, all fools should know that the two top castes in the ministry are about to fall in love with each other and kill each other again. What an insane person would they choose to bump into each other at such a time!
The rational choice is, of course, avoidance if possible. Hikigaya Hachiman knows very well who is the person he should hug together for warmth, so he will naturally persuade Yuihama Yui.
As the time for club activities passed, it was finally time for school to end. The students also packed up and walked out of the school gate one after another. After all, there is neither a dormitory system nor evening self-study, and the school will not allow students to stay on campus alone at night.
After all, no school would like to see this kind of thing. Once something happens, whose responsibility is it? Most schools have tried their best to shirk their normal responsibilities, not to mention such unpredictable disasters.
Special Building, East of the Fourth Floor.
The door to the activity room was closed just now, and there was a rather dull rubbing sound in the door frame.
Yukoshita Yukino turned around in the corridor, looked at Xia Ran standing next to her, and said coldly, "See you tomorrow, Xia Ran."
On the floor of the corridor, the afterglow shone through the window, the long black silk-like hair was hanging down behind the girl, and it was shining like a burning red light under the setting sun ,
"Well, see you tomorrow."
Xia Ran nodded lightly, said kindly, and waved her goodbye quite enthusiastically.
“…”
“…”
It's just that the eyes are cold, and they are cold and obviously unpleasant, and they are almost like frostbite.
It was obvious that they had said goodbye, but Yukinoshita didn't move, just stood there in silence and stared at Xia Ran without saying anything.
It's just that the low air pressure that overflows around her is almost real, making people wonder if she can release black magic at any time... Although she doesn't actually have even a magic circuit, nor does she have a real magic circuit. Has "magic".
But it has nothing to do with aptitude, the main reason is that the time is too short, and the mystery of this world has generally completely subsided, and it has become fading. As in the so-called end of the Dharma era, practice has always become more difficult.
In this way, the two of them stared at each other with such big eyes and small eyes. Xia Ran still maintained a gentle and polite smile, as if she was waiting for Yukinoshita to turn around and leave first, so she had to watch the girl leave.
However, the girl obviously didn't think that way. She didn't say anything, didn't take a step, didn't leave the middle of the corridor as usual, she just looked unhappy. stared at him.
“…”
“…”
"Okay, would you like to go to Moriya Shrine with me?" After a while, Xia Ran could only shake her head helplessly, sighed and said this, sending out the invitation with a little humor.
It's not that he doesn't know what the girls are fighting for, but he just thinks it's interesting to tease each other like this.
"Hey, you lead the way."
Yukinoshita Yukino seemed to have been waiting for him to say this all the time, and she didn't even have the patience to hide it.
"Actually, there is no need to lead the way. It's the address we visited last time, nothing has changed. At least the Moriya Shrine in the outside world is still in its original location. If it wasn't for me to take over, it would probably be completely moved into Fantasy. I went to the village..."
Xia Ran chuckled softly, disapproving of the girl's bossy, knowing that the other party was unhappy. He took the lead in walking in front of the corridor, then beckoned to let Yukinoshita behind him quickly follow.
"At that time, Chiba City will probably be gouged out for an inexplicable area, including the shrine, surrounding land, and Fengshen Lake, which will be packaged and migrated directly to Gensokyo."
“…”
“…”
"Isn't such a huge change easy to find? After all, in such a city, such a large piece of land has disappeared so suddenly, this gap is very obvious, right?"
Although he followed him unhappily, after hearing this, Yukinoshita couldn't help but wonder.
"This is not, because it is not the kind of directly digging up an area in the physical sense without technical content... Well, how do you say it? Because Gensokyo's Great Barrier is a boundary line, it Responsible for filtering common sense and unconventional knowledge.”
Xia Ran thought about it for a while and changed to a statement that should be easier to understand.
"You can see that this world is actually like a lake, which is constantly changing, not a solid piece of land. If a large piece of water is dug away, a clear gap will appear. Instead, it will be immediately refilled by the surrounding water bodies, and on the surface, there is no difference..."
"What's the principle of this?" Yukinoshita frowned slightly. She had a headache. This is a completely different system. Many things are not unreasonable, but have a set of their own internal logic. So it often seems abnormal.
"This is a bit complicated to say, the outside world is our world, the world of common sense, and those that are not common sense will converge into Gensokyo, just like the literal meaning, very common sense is The concept opposed to common sense is not the common everyday consensus on the same thing in today's society..."
Xia Ran thought about it for a while, and then explained it carefully.
"This means that it is not just the mysterious and unscientific things that belong to the realm of the non-conscious, but even the things that were very common in the past, if they are no longer known now, naturally also no longer belong to the present. It is common sense, in short, the forgotten things are also very knowledgeable..."
"Yukishita-san, you have been to Moriya Shrine before, you should know that there is no popularity at all, and no one comes to worship, it has long been forgotten, even if it is completely hidden, it will not cause too much. Pay attention, and the Great Barrier divides the boundary line based on this..."
Things that have been forgotten by history will appear in Gensokyo, and the Great Barrier has always played the role of filtering and absorbing in this way.
So things that disappear from the outside world will flow into Gensokyo. For example, items that are outdated in the outside world and even extinct animals can be found again in Gensokyo...
Even the gods and their beliefs are the same. When people worship science and intelligence more, they naturally lose their faith and are forgotten. Although they often have the ability to choose whether to take the initiative to enter Gensokyo or not, the results will not make any difference-
As long as one enters the Great Barrier completely, it will be forgotten by the outside world. The power of the Great Barrier's Realm will also correct a small number of local events involved.
And this kind of mysterious disappearance did not happen suddenly, not to say that something just disappeared in plain sight, but more like a process of something being forgotten and lost——
If you can always pay attention and remember where things are placed, there will be no loss.
It is precisely because of forgetting, neglecting, and not paying attention to it for a long time...During this process, that thing will be lost unknowingly, and it will never be found again. This is a natural process .
Similarly, the relocation of Moriya Shrine should have been like this, as if it had been forgotten and disappeared without anyone knowing it.
Perhaps in the next few years, people from that era will suddenly remember that they had seen such a quiet shrine in Chiba City, but when they searched again, they could never find it again. There is no trace of it, as if it never existed.
Without that land...
Without that shrine...
Without that lake...
It's almost as if everything is just their illusion, or just an ethereal dream that seems to belong only to the past.
—just that.
At the end of the day, even they themselves are not sure if their impressions are correct, so of course they don't care. And when all these people are gone, everything will be buried and covered by the dust and smoke of history.
Yukinoshita nodded, but she didn't open her brows. She still didn't quite understand the mechanism of "God Hidden". She just knew that Moriya Shrine had been forgotten and disappeared after that. What is missing, the falsification of events on a certain scale also seems to be based on this foundation.
Generally speaking, the girl really hated this feeling, because the more she felt that she was completely out of tune with that world, and the sense of urgency in her heart became more and more serious.
……
……
The tram has begun to travel.
The scene outside the window quickly receded and disappeared from view.
Because Xia Ran chose to go back to the shrine in the normal way, so he needs to take the tram, which has little to do with the high consumption of the real world or the constraints of the rules, mainly because he likes this feeling.
Everyday should be like a daily life. This kind of slow and leisurely way of life makes him feel very comfortable.
Maybe because of the overtime culture, most of the social animals couldn't get off work at this time, so the carriage was relatively empty, and there were only two of them in the entire row of seats on one side, and Yukinoshita sat next to him.
Neither of them spoke much, as if they were passengers seated next to each other on the tram, passing the time. It's just that everyone who saw the two probably wouldn't think they were really strangers.
The school uniforms of the same style are like a couple's clothes, and they look very suitable when they sit side by side. Even if they don't talk and communicate along the way, they won't make people feel stiff and unfamiliar. Instead, they are inexplicably harmonious. quite tacit.
——This is a very strange feeling, I can't say it specifically, but it just makes people feel that way subconsciously.
The setting sun sank into the horizon, leaving only the last line of residual red hanging on the horizon.
