Stray Chapter 213: People are divided into groups
In the building of Moriya Shrine on the back side, the lights are already brightly illuminating the scene in the living room.
Although it has moved into the inner realm of Gensokyo, the power is quickly reconnected. The power supply is the Xuanwujian Power Plant at the foot of the Yokai Mountain, which is the business of Kappa Heavy Industries. scope.
Currently, hydroelectric power is still used, but it is enough. Even if it supplies electricity to the entire Gensokyo, it is more than enough. After all, the place is not too big, and whether it is humans or monsters, the population is very limited.
It's just that the Kappa haven't been able to successfully sell their electricity business, they've been digesting it internally, and the Tengu on the nearby Youkai Mountain have been connected to the power grid.
Because Tengu are also a group with their own advanced technology and highly developed social structure.
Let's not say anything else, it's just a rumor-generating machine that is very affectionate, and it is dedicated to mass-producing related newspapers every day, and it is also distributed for free. No matter how you look at it, it is impossible for her to handwrite every copy. .
Of course, machines are needed to do it for assembly line production. It can be seen that the society of Tengu is also quite civilized and developed.
However, the level of civilization in the human world is still relatively backward, and the feeling of still staying in the Edo period is probably due to the use of electrical appliances by the "famous family" such as the Hideta family... It is not any other reason, the main reason is It's that they feel they don't need it.
Electricity is not good either. Candles and oil lamps are enough. Besides, if the wires are pulled and connected to the power grid, there is no need to talk about an extra expense. So where do all kinds of electrical appliances come from?
Kappa's wishful thinking is really good, at least much better than that stupid water rafting project. They plan to use the whole system to drive the sales of various electrical appliances they produce, but they just don't eat them. this set.
In addition to them and Tengu, it seems that two stable users have been added in the past two years. One is the Scarlet Devils who moved in from the outside world, and the other is the Moriya Shrine who moved in from the outside world... The business situation is really impressive People are sad, and the cost cannot be recovered.
"By the way, isn't this person a little too much..."
In the brightly lit hall, Xia Ran looked at a circle of girls sitting around, her eyebrows twitched slightly.
Isn't it alright to record what he and Liu Mengli said? Chanyou's situation can also be dictated by Miss Liu, why is there such a large group of people surrounded inexplicably?
The whole hall is full, what's the point? I originally wanted to keep a low profile, quickly complete the registration and prepare to leave quietly, but now it is...
What a plane! Is this a public interview?
"Sorry, Lord Xia Ran, I didn't expect it would turn out like this..." Barnyard Aqiu took a pen and paper, knelt upright in front of him, and said in a low voice apologetically, his face also Showing a crying expression.
She never thought it would develop into such a state. If she knew this was the case, it would be better to wait and visit later.
"I can't blame you for this, Miss Aqiu..." Fortunately, the other party didn't mean to blame her.
"Is there any problem with this? Or is it that you can't let us know what you said next?" asked Yukinoshita Yukino, who was sitting on the side, with a smile on her face, as if she thought so Son is fun.
After all, it's rare to see this guy having such a headache.
"That's not true. If it's really not suitable for Yukinoshita classmates to hear, then I'll just leave it alone..." Xia Ran shook her head, indicating that she was frank and had nothing to be afraid of. .
“…”
“…”
So is there really something you can't let yourself and others hear? Yukinoshita Yukino raised her slender eyebrows.
"Hehe, it's mainly because you all came in, and it's not good for us to stay outside, otherwise we always feel uneasy..." Yubihama Yui showed her trademark smirk and said a little embarrassedly.
"If it doesn't feel right, shouldn't it be better for us to leave first?" Kato Megumi asked calmly while biting the straw. She didn't care about it at all, she was just curious.
"Forget it, I'm not talking about you..." Xia Ran sighed, waved her hand to tell them not to think too much, turned her head and narrowed her eyes to look at the group of people sitting in a row on the other side , at the same time blankly glared at the two girls next to Barnyard Aqiu.
They are also sitting upright, took out paper and pen, and made all the preparations...
Shooting Maruwen with short black wings and a white coat.
There is also Ji Haitangji with long hair and two ponytails, who also has a pair of black wings behind her.
It can be said that these two kotengu are actually the culprits that caused this inexplicable scene.
First of all, Sheming Maru Wen was keenly aware of the fact that Barnyard A asked to interview him and Liu Mengli, and immediately ran over excitedly, asking to join in and get first-hand news information.
And then Ji Haitangji, as her colleague and competitor, immediately appeared in front of everyone together, and then she and Wenwen fought each other within three sentences, because the concepts between the two did not match. .
Speaking of which, Ji Haitang came up with the idea of doing news and media only after Wenwen's rumors became popular and the name of "Wenwen Daily" quickly spread throughout Gensokyo. , but she couldn't find the trick, and at first she didn't understand how to make the news paper more attractive to readers.
So in order to steal the teacher and learn the arts, and to explore the secret of the popularity of "Wenwen Daily", she chose to follow the shooting of Maru Wen quietly, wanting to see how the other party has mastered so many first-hand Breaking news.
However, Ji Haitangji finally found out that Wen Wen was not reporting the incident objectively and truthfully at all, but was fabricating the news time by taking things out of context and creating rumors...
If she also has no morals, then she should immediately understand the core tricks of making big news, but Ji Haitang is extremely rare in Gensokyo's conscience-
For example, when encountering mind-reading monsters that even most monsters hate, Ji Haitangji will not avoid them, but will actively contact them. There are a few counter-examples, which is enough to show how magnanimous her heart is.
Because she has a very cheerful personality and is a very straightforward girl, she will naturally not act like Wen Wen, who makes random speculations and irresponsible rumors and troubles with all kinds of dark psychology.
So in the end, she did not become the same unscrupulous paparazzi as Wenwen, but decided to make real news, and made a declaration of war to Wenwen to fight against the "Wenwen Daily" that was full of rumors... …
Generally speaking, it is a very friendly Raven Dog, at least Xia Ran's perception of her is much higher than that of Wenwen.
It's a pity that the conflict between the two attracted the attention of most of the people at the banquet. People who didn't know it already knew it, and people who weren't interested were interested, so they all chose to take a look.
After all, they are indeed very curious about Xia Ran, this magician seems to have jumped out of a stone, and his relationship with Yakumo Zi, is he a friend from the past? There have been legends...
You can often learn a lot of basic information by simply listening in.
It also saves the trouble of waiting until Aqiu has been compiled, and then comes to borrow "Gensokyo Origin", how better to get first-hand information directly?
When more and more people were watching, everyone else felt it was logical, so they all stayed on the sidelines, eager to see what was going to happen next. Suspect big.
Looking at the crowd of people around, Xia Ran suddenly felt a headache, because even Yayunzi was among them. She was sitting next to Youyouzi of Xixing Temple, holding the wine with a smile. Bowl, looking at himself with deep meaning.
There was a disturbing gleam in those beautiful talking eyes, showing that they were ready to do something.
Most of the other people were also very interested in sitting around. The scene was so lively that it was like a school organizing students to put on a movie. Even if some people were not interested in movies, they still sat in the venue with others. among.
Different from Xia Ran who felt a headache, Liu Mengli seemed to be generous about it. She didn't care too much about how many girls were crowding around. …
What made her a little puzzled was, why did Xia Ran want to register with her family now? Isn't that weird? Could it be that he didn't live in this paradise-like place before?
"Alright, let's get started..."
Xia Ran withdrew her gaze and waved her hands weakly.
Anyway, that's the way it is, so let's be simple, finish the process quickly and then leave, so as not to be seen as a monkey by this group of people, the longer the time is, the more annoying it will be.
"Oh, okay..." Barnyard Aqiu responded hastily, she calmed down, and then asked, "I have already investigated and understood some of your basic information about Sir Xia Ran. ..."
"Huh?"
"It's about names, haunting locations, frequency of encounters, and level of danger..." the girl said in a glutinous voice.
"...I don't know why, but I always think you're talking about a Pokemon illustration or something." Xia Ran complained and pressed his forehead, "But forget it, so there's no problem?"
"There are also some pieces of information that need to be confirmed, such as...is your race human?" Hida Aqiu shook his head and asked in a questioning tone, "Or a magician?"
A magician can be either a profession or a race, like a witch. For example, Paqiuri is a magician, which refers to a race rather than a profession, and is one of the concepts of monsters.
Looks like the concept of a magician in history, is it a mysterious profession that humans learn from monsters like this?
"Of course it's human, like the fake one..."
Xia Ran said without changing his face, and at the same time he heard Yukinoshita's slight exhalation, and turned his head to see Miss Yang Nai's strange eyes.
It's not just Yukinoshita Yukino, but many people are surprised, including Kazami Youka...
Are you really so surprised that you are human?
"I see, so take the liberty to ask..." Barnyard Aqiu scribbled a few notes on the notebook, then raised his head, "How old are you now? If you don't know the specifics, Can you tell me when you were first active in the world? The Nara period, the Asuka period? Or the Kofun period or something?"
“…”
“…”
For a split second, there was a sense of silence in the audience, and a needle drop could be heard. It felt like the eardrum would be stinged by the silence.
Xia Ran twitched the corners of her mouth. Does this mean that she is also an old monster by default? Why do you have such a prejudice, can't you be a talented young man?
"Sorry, I don't remember anything about this, I'm only seventeen this year."
He said very confidently, no matter who comes, he is not afraid of being read minds, he is only seventeen years old in the real world!
“…”
“…”
Cold Field Aura! start up!
Almost everyone widened their eyes in amazement, and then looked at Yakumo Zi with a strange expression. This statement seems to be familiar!
Are they really good friends?
"Ahhhh, why are you all looking at me..." The seventeen-year-old youkai girl, holding Youyouko, blinked and asked innocently.
(PS: Happy National Day, everyone...)
