Stray Chapter 234: Inhuman
Xia Ran was slightly startled, and subconsciously looked at the blue and white witch beside her, is she really a god? !
The girl Feng Zhu had a complicated expression, she lowered her head and didn't know what she was thinking about, and she didn't notice his gaze at all.
"Yayunzi, this kind of thing should take its course, he doesn't have that state of mind and cognition yet, and it's not a bad thing, you might not be able to understand it, a natural monster like you, but right Maybe now is the best for him..."
At this time, Suwako said very calmly, she seems to be a Lo... **** who doesn't like to talk too much.
"Well, that's right, maybe it's better to let things take their course..."
The monster girl thought for a while, and nodded in agreement, and then she looked at the **** Luoli.
"But without that, let's get back to the point, are you really not considering my proposal?"
"Of course we will consider it, but it's impossible to answer you right now..." Suwako replied noncommittally, "This kind of decision cannot be made at once."
"Why?" The youkai girl known as Yakumo Zi asked curiously. "I know that with the development of human beings, more and more belief in science and information, you can no longer collect beliefs, right? If you continue like this, you will disappear..."
"Knowingly asking, if we continue like this, it will indeed disappear, but that is the future..."
Blonde luoli glanced at her impatiently, her tone did not change, but she gave a feeling of being unhappy and said——
"If the shrine is changed from a human world to an imaginary existence, we will directly lose our remaining beliefs. It is hard to say how long we can survive and how much power we can have..."
Although I didn't say the rest, everyone is not stupid and knows it well.
Besides, even if you don't consider the worst and worst situation, for example, Yakumo Zi just wants to trick them into killing them, just consider the most basic issues-
Without the remaining beliefs, they will not only disappear faster, but the existing power that can be maintained will also decline significantly and lose a large part.
There is no way to gather faith in the outside world. If they continue like this, they will slowly disappear. This is indeed a fact. However, if they moved directly into Gensokyo, they would disappear faster, so they had to use the power of descent to gather faith in Gensokyo within a very limited time.
It's a dilemma-
It is slowly going to destruction, in enough time to see if there are other variables and possibilities?
Or directly give yourself a more difficult challenge mode, directly challenge the success within the specified time, and become ashes if you fail?
So of course it's impossible to say something like this and make up your mind, especially if these gods who have existed for such a long time, if they were so reckless, they wouldn't live in this era.
"If that's the case, let's come back later. I hope you will give us a definite answer next time..." Yakumo Zi smiled softly, and then looked deeply at Xia Ran who was not far away. At a glance, his eyes stopped for a while on his body and the girl behind him.
But this time, she didn't say anything, but disappeared directly into the black crack.
It seems that the pure black cracks that tear the space are slowly closing, as if the slender eyes opened by invisible creatures in another dimension are slowly closing, but the eyes are still dotted with blood red eyes.
——This scene is really indescribably bizarre and chilling.
This monster girl with long blond hair just like this, seems to be a little dissatisfied and left, but she doesn't give up her previous thoughts, and probably will come back in the future.
“…”
“…”
After the great monster named Yakumo Zi left, the worship hall of Moriya Shrine fell into an eerily quiet silence for a while.
No one speaks, and at a time like this, it seems that even the drop of a needle can become very jarring.
It took another ten seconds before Suwako's crisp voice broke the silence.
The **** looked at the blue-and-white shrine maiden, who had been silent since just now: "Sanae, you should have heard it just now, right?"
"Yes, yes, Suwako-sama."
Dongfenggu Sanae finally recovered at this time and replied in a low voice.
After being silent for a while, she couldn't help but ask the question she was a little worried about: "Um... Suwako-sama, are we going to move into that Gensokyo? We won't come back in the future. already?"
This is what worries and fears the blue and white witch, and it is precisely because of this that she has been silent since just now, and has remained silent since then—
She has been living in Chiba since she was a child. She has long been accustomed to the city where she lives and the environment outside. Did you hear that you might be moving?
Even if most people hear that they are going to transfer to an unfamiliar place, they may not accept it immediately. After all, it is not necessarily a good thing to abandon everything they are familiar with and move towards an unknown landscape.
Not to mention that it seems to be a complete farewell to the human world, moving into a strange place where "unconsciousness is dominant, monsters and gods paradise", and may never come back in the future.
It can be said that what just happened was a psychological shock to Dongfenggu Sanae, which made her a little hard to accept.
But there is no way to object. If this continues, both Suwako-sama and Kanako-sama will disappear...
"If I can't find a way, I might have to do it, and this is not the first time this monster has come..." Suwako answered the question lightly, "But we don't know much about it. There is more than one big troublesome monster like Yakumo Zi alone, so we don’t know if we should bring you, but we don’t feel relieved to leave you alone in the outside world…”
"Lord Suwako, please take me, I want to go with you..." Dongfengtani Sanae shook his head, took a deep breath, and his eyes became firm.
"This hasn't been decided yet, and it's not that there is no other hope at all..." Suwako turned her head slightly and glanced at Xia Ran, and said if there was something to be said, and then she recruited the blue and white witch. He waved, "Come in and talk to Kanako first, we have to discuss this matter."
"Oh." Fengzhu girl is like an obedient daughter, and obediently wants to go inside the shrine.
"The two of you are also guests, so come in later... After you've dealt with your own problems." Luoli, the blonde, looked at Xia Ran and Yukinoshita next to him, and added this sentence lightly.
She is not as simple as Fengzhu girl, although she looks more immature than Fengzhu girl, but the appearance of gods is meaningless.
“…”
“…”
With the departure of Suwako and Dongfengya Sanae, only Xia Ran and Yukinoshita were left before the shrine worship. The former relaxed at once, while the latter showed a complex expression on his face.
"Xueshita classmate, actually..." Xia Ran suddenly turned around, patted the **** the shoulder very familiarly, and then said with a serious face, "We just rehearsed it, yes A close-up magic show, do you think it is very real? You almost believed it?"
"So that's what it is... Do you think I would say that?" Xuezhi nodded expressionlessly, then helplessly held his forehead, "I already have enough headaches now, please just do it. Don't make trouble again."
"Huh? Is that so?" Xia Ran was a little puzzled, stretched out a finger and scratched his cheek, "I thought it would be difficult for you to accept this reality, so I want to give you a scientific explanation, so that you can To be able to go down a step..."
"This is not scientific at all. I thought you were all talking about "settings" or something..." Yukinoshita lowered her head and sighed in despair, her eyes not at her feet. Stop wandering.
"So you have accepted the reality now?" Xia Ran was somewhat uncertain.
"Yeah, after all, am I refusing to believe that I can deny what just happened with words? That would be too pale..."
She answered very calmly and calmly, if she hadn't deliberately turned around and spoke in the other direction, hiding her expression from Xia Ran's eyes.
"Speaking of which, Xia Ran, you seem to have wanted to leave me alone from the beginning? You just don't want me to know about these things?!"
"Yeah, anyway, it's not the truth of the world that needs to be known, and it won't change anything." The young man was very calm about this question, "Then it's better not to know. In that case, it's happier, isn't it?"
"You said it lightly, I'm starting to wonder if this world is really so peaceful..." Yukinoshita gently pressed her forehead again like a headache, "I always feel that what I've seen before is all the same. It's fake."
"Illusion, delusion, in fact, in the current environment, the world is really not peaceful, it must be caused by human beings..." Xia Ran said with a smile, the girl in front of her can accept it, although it seems to belong to that A very reluctant feeling.
Probably because she has always been calm, and now she is forcing herself to believe and think calmly about how to look at the world again? But this is also normal. It will take time to repair after the collapse of the three views.
"Don't say it so innocently, you're not human too... Wait, then again, are you really human?"
Yukinoshita made no secret of her impatience, and looked at Xia Ran with her usual cold expression, but then she seemed to remember something, her body suddenly stiffened, and she folded her hands slightly warily, He stared at the young man in front of him.
It always seemed that some of the previous doubts had been explained...but this did not have any positive meaning, on the contrary, it made her suddenly feel cold, and could not move as if she was tied.
Although I know that the other party is the person I know, it is very likely...not a human...
When this kind of thought appears in my heart, and it is clearer than ever before, it is really terrifying, especially when Yukinoshita has just come into contact with a very strange and strange world.
"Does it have such a big relationship with whether it is...?" Xia Ran thought for a while, then spread out her hands and smiled, without answering the question directly.
Humans and non-humans are a kind of opposite realms. The boundaries are vague and precise, broad and narrow.
Because if it exceeds the limit of "human", it will naturally become "inhuman"——
Just as a certain thing becomes "this" thing and not something else, because everything has its own characteristics, and it has forms and attributes that other things do not have.
Once this thing completely changes its original form and attributes, it will naturally become another thing, and it will no longer be the original thing.
Simply put, a triangle is a triangle because it has three sides. If it has two more sides, it is a pentagon... It can be roughly understood in this way.
Of course, if you insist that you still have humanity in your heart, you still retain the bottom line of being a human being, so no matter what you become, you are still a human being, which is naturally okay... After all, no one stipulates that the name of the pentagon is just It can never be called a "triangle".
Anyway, it's not illegal. You can define it how you like. Just like many people, no matter how dark your face is, you can say that you have a European heart, although it doesn't change their face at all. Or the essence of black fact...
Xia Ran is very clear about such a truth, but his idea is to just let it go, neither resisting nor pursuing it deliberately.
“…”
“…”
The girl stared into his eyes earnestly. After a long while, she suddenly exhaled and her body seemed to relax.
"It seems to be the same."
She whispered.
