Chapter 240 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, Yukinoshita stood up from his seat first, and Xia Ran followed behind.

Get off at the station, and the two of them follow the not too dense flow of people towards the exit.

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

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

"What do you mean? Those two gods? That big monster? Uncommon knowledge beyond common sense, or a question about me?" Xia Ran blinked, looked directly into the girl's eyes, and spoke in a rather gentle tone. Say so.

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

On the contrary, he will understand it very well. After all, this is really normal. If the girl needs a period of time to adjust her 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 let nature take its course like that, but wanted to take the initiative to solve psychological problems.

He naturally welcomes this infinitely, after all, this is the best choice.

"...All of the above." Yukinoshita didn't know what he was thinking, but after thinking for a while, he gave such an answer very calmly.

"Well, how should I put it? I don't think there's anything unbelievable about it. After all, I don't see any difference between you now and usual, Mr. Minister."

Xia Ran carefully observed her eyes and expression for a while, then retracted her slightly impolite gaze, and said with a relaxed smile.Because she is really too calm, whether it is the previous performance or the current tone.

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

The girl was taken aback for a moment, and then realized——

The sudden title of "Minister" was actually the other party jokingly calling her by the Ministry of Service, because she was indeed a minister of the Ministry of Service, and the other party was indeed a member of the Ministry of Service.

However, this was the first time this person called her like this, and it was at such a time... Yukinoshita took a deep look at the young man in front of him, and suddenly felt inexplicably relaxed in his heart for no reason.

Although she herself couldn't say why, there was an unprecedented sense of peace of mind that suddenly surged 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 the language Said softly, the tone is still flat.

"This is also the case, but maybe it's just because you received too much information today? Maybe Yukinoshita-san, after you go back to sleep tonight, you won't feel this way when you wake up tomorrow morning Woolen cloth?"

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

"It would be great if it really looked like this. I think whether I can fall asleep tonight is a problem, and I even suspect that I may have a nightmare..." After listening to Yukinoshita, he stroked his temple and sighed softly.

"This is definitely not the case. It's not a horror movie, and they didn't scare you much..." Xia Ran suddenly burst out laughing. He couldn't imagine that the girl in front of him would curl up in the bed and sleep in fear. Unconscious scene.

"You are so sure that you are planning to let me go back to sleep and forget everything about today?"

Yukinoshita looked at him suspiciously.

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

The girl was obviously not at ease, and still wanted to say something, but suddenly found that the two of them were standing in the middle of the ticket gate, obviously it should have had a certain impact on the passengers who also chose to get off at this station.

However, the fact is that no one has pointed this 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 on closer inspection, it is completely abnormal.

These people didn't seem to want to waste time because they saw someone blocking the front or in the middle, so they just walked away from the side.It was 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 on both sides of the entire row of ticket gates that can be walked. It seems that the station was designed like this from the beginning, and there is nothing worth paying attention to. , they themselves have no doubts.

If you think about it carefully, this kind of thing is really strange... Yukinoshita almost subconsciously looked around, and found that at some point, it seemed that even the noisy station had become quiet.

It doesn't mean complete noise reduction, but it seems that the irrelevant sounds around have been filtered out. Although they can be heard, they won't appear noisy because of this, and even need to be captured very carefully to be able to hear those sounds clearly.

The girl put on a serious expression and turned around, frowning and looking at Xia Ran. The tension in her heart only appeared for a short time, and she already understood the reason: "You did this?"

It was clearly a question sentence, but it seemed to be stating a fact she had already established.

"Yeah, in this way, we won't be disturbed by people..." Xia Ran shrugged, and explained very directly, "Who told you to choose to talk to me here? You don't want to Are you surrounded by people?"

"This... I can't help it, because I'm going to go there next, and it's not the same way as you..."

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

"Speaking of which, how on earth did this happen?"

"It's just a 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..." Yukinoshita murmured, then looked up at him, "Xia Ran, can you tell me that you were actually an ordinary human before?"

"Yup……"

The young man said with a smile, he had no intention of hiding it, and there was no need for it.

After the girl calmed down, it was normal to be able to notice these clues, especially when her real world information was relatively open and transparent, and the other party was also very clear about it.

"Did something happen last year?" Quickly pondering in her mind, Yukinoshita tentatively asked, she thought this should be the most likely.

"Did you find out? It is indeed understandable... It can be said that my changes began at that time last year."

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

The black long straight girl also nodded thoughtfully, as if somewhat relieved, she felt that instinctive fear eased a bit again, because her guess was correct, at least this guy didn't come from Inhuman from the start.

Although it may not be a human being in the strict sense now, but it is not a natural "monster"... It is natural for her to feel a big sigh of relief to be sure of this. The psychological feeling is completely different.

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

"Ah, that, there was some small accident. I saw a magic scroll that I shouldn't have seen without any precautions, 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 temporarily lose your sight if you read it?" The girl frowned. "Does such a thing really exist?"

"Yes, and there are quite a few, especially those ancient classics written in languages ​​before the appearance of human beings, such as "Necronomicon", "Key of the Old God", "Niazi Photobook" and so on... ..."

Xia Ran said seriously.

"It's normal for people who read them to go mad, die in a horrible way, or simply disappear. It's better to believe in those ancient myths and legends. They survive for a reason. "

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

Yukinoshita sighed, put his hand on his forehead and said, not sure if the other party was joking or serious.And she felt that she had been doing this all the time today, and the number of sighs might be more than her whole life combined.

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

Xia Ran shrugged and did not answer the question.

"..."

"..."

Then, as a matter of course, there was a short moment of silence.

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

Yukinoshita thought and thought, but he didn't come up with any more troublesome things.

Although there was no smile or special expression on her face, her gaze fell to the ground and she did not look at Xia Ran.But the latter can be felt, and she seems to be really relieved now.It seems that a very important thing has been confirmed, and a certain knot has been untied.

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