lost narrative poem

Chapter 241 A new dungeon is about to start

night.

Xia Ran is studying the two protections she has obtained at her home, thinking about what kind of help they can bring to herself.

By the way, these two permanent effects appear on his property page, which means that even the benefits obtained in the real world can still be recognized by the space, and there will be no incompatibility problems.

""Protection of mountains and lakes"... Well, can this permanent effect allow me to gain home court advantage in a certain environment?Perhaps the effect of walking on water can be used to pretend to be aggressive at critical moments..."

"The "Protection of the Aboriginal God"...it should be the loli god, right?But why does the effect feel a bit vague, increasing the affinity of "spirits" is not limited to undead, elves or even gods..."

Xia Ran thought about it seriously, and felt that she probably understood something. After all, according to panpsychism, everything has animism—this is how the saying of "800 million gods" in this country came about.

And according to Sanae, that loli is the pinnacle of the indigenous gods, and was once the leader of various "gods".It is not surprising that her protection can have such an effect, just like a real dragon can control hundreds of spirits and monsters in the water...

It's just that in this era of the real world, don't expect to rely on this effect to catch Pokémon everywhere. There are not so many spirit bodies that Xia Ran can drive. Perhaps what this blessing can currently affect is the owner's body The degree of health and luck?

Because "spirits" always exist in the environment, the only difference lies in whether they condense into spirit bodies and whether they produce consciousness.

However, this protection should still be able to affect the surrounding animism, making things develop in favor of the owner...

Well, that is to say, if it was in its heyday, perhaps the effect of this protection would be to allow the owner to directly drive some low-level and mid-level spirit bodies, and it would also have a certain influence on high-level spirit bodies.

But now, due to the limitation of the environment, it is equivalent to being hacked by the version, leaving only the ability to affect the surrounding animism... um, lucky value +20?Probably like this?

I feel that I can't say it's useless, but the effect is relatively small. Maybe when I change the world, it will be able to shine again?

"Jingle Bell--"

At this moment, the mobile phone next to her suddenly rang, interrupting Xia Ran's thoughts.

He just glanced at the lit screen, and then laughed as expected... But then again, didn't he send an email today?While thinking this way, he reached for his phone:

"Good evening, Yukinoshita-san."

"..."

"..."

"...Good evening." After a while, the calm voice as always came.

"Well, is there anything I can do to help you? If you really can't fall asleep or have nightmares, I can provide bedtime stories, and I can also sing lullabies..." Xia Ran asked casually, thinking quickly whether it was her in the evening When parting from the girl, the pacification technique released did not have the desired effect.

But this should be unlikely, and he didn't think that Yukinoshita would really call himself for help because he couldn't sleep or had nightmares.

"Thank you, but this is unnecessary, I think I will really have nightmares after hearing this..." Yukinoshita said calmly, completely unmoved, "I just came to talk to you according to the previous agreement. Just a good night."

"That's it... so good night." Xia Ran was not disappointed, he knew it was so.

"OK, good night……"

"..."

"..."

Next, normally speaking, the call should be over. Xia Ran smiled, and just as she took the phone away from her ear, she heard Yukinoshita's soft voice, which was very low——

"Although thinking about it now, it still seems like a ridiculous dream, but it's also interesting enough. If you think about it this way, it's not that bad... Thank you for protecting me today, classmate Xia Ran."

Her voice was so low that even someone's keen hearing could barely hear it.

Xia Ran was slightly taken aback, and couldn't help wondering if he had heard it wrong, but at this time, there was only a busy tone coming from the other side of the phone - Yukinoshita had hung up the phone very quickly, so he was also a little uncertain.

After a long silence, he put down the phone, narrowed his eyes slightly and spread out his palm, a coin appeared on it.

Xia Ran stared at it for a few seconds, then threw it up, and caught it again.However, he didn't open his palm to see whether it was heads or tails, nor did he interpret it, but put the coins away directly.

One is that it is unnecessary, and the other is that he has not yet focused on the divination system in his magic practice, nor has he mastered any simple divination techniques, even binary divination is not that simple.

His current behavior is just to find a reason for himself, like flipping a coin to decide something, not really relying on the coin to make a decision, but relying on the coin to recognize his heart.

Because the moment the coin was tossed, I was already anticipating what kind of result it would be, and I naturally understood what my real inner thoughts were.

……

……

Time flies by.

Soon, the school's regular exams are coming, which will last for a week.In addition, after the regular exams, there will be workplace internship activities immediately, which makes many students more nervous than before.

However, Xia Ran still didn't have any real feelings. Anyway, he didn't plan to take the regular exams. This kind of thing depends entirely on his mood, and he has skipped so many exams, big and small, so it's not bad.

Therefore, he still does what he should, paddling leisurely every day.

After the end of the sixth class, he staggered towards the special building. While climbing up to the fourth floor, he glanced at the afternoon sky outside, and saw the boundless clear sky, which can make people feel The taste of summer is fully fermented.

It's another hot day today.

Yukinoshita Yukino sat in the deep part of the activity room as usual, with the same indifferent expression on his face.However, when Xia Ran opened the door and came in, she still looked over with anticipation in her eyes, then sighed quickly, and turned her gaze back to the book in her hand.

"...Xia Ran, good afternoon."

Although compared to the beginning, they couldn't even say a few words to each other, and now she has started to greet each other proactively, but Xia Ran can still hear the disappointment in the other party's tone at the moment.

Of course, he knew the reason: "Is Yubihama still not here?"

"No." Yukinoshita shook her head, and turned the page of the book in her hand, "The day before yesterday I took my pet to the hospital for a checkup, yesterday was because of something at home, today...it seems that she made up her mind not to come here again. "

"Is that so..."

Xia Ran also knew what happened between Hikigaya Hachiman and Yuigahama Yui on the day of the book club, even Yukinoshita had something to do with it.

The three of them were linked together by a car accident before they met. Hihama's dog caused the accident, and Hikigu rescued the dog. As a result, he went to the hospital and lay down for a while, and the accident was caused by Yukinoshita's family. chartered car.

Originally there was no problem, it could even be said to be fate, but Hikigu Hachiman's character and thoughts are rather... awkward.He never knew that it was Bibin's dog that he rescued, because he was sent to the hospital directly.

I didn't know until that day, and then I felt that Yubihama just thanked him for saving her dog, and he did this to him because of guilt and gratitude, and felt that the girl's tenderness towards him just stopped here.

So he directly told Yubibin that the relationship between the two has been evened out, and he no longer needs to care about him, sympathize with him, or feel indebted...

Then, it turned into the current situation——Student Yuhihama basically stopped coming to the activity room, and although Hikigaya Hachiman still signed in every day, he always came to show his face at the last time and left the school.

It seems that the service department, which had just started to improve, returned to the original path again because of the first official internal club activities, and became a literary club with only Xia Ran and Yukinoshita.

"After the regular exam, if it still doesn't work, let's think of a way..." Yukinoshita thinks that's the only way now, at least those two people have decided to form a team in the workplace apprenticeship before, and now there is probably no dedicated team. To cancel the registered team list is so absolute.

This may be an opportunity, let's see if the two of them will seize this opportunity and reconcile.

Xia Ran didn't say anything, but just sat down opposite the girl. Fortunately, Yukinoshita didn't leave any psychological shadow because of what happened that day, although I don't know if her worldview has been adjusted properly.

But after that day, Yukinoshita did not show any particular alienation or rejection of Xia Ran, but everything went on as usual, as if he had forgotten what happened that day.

But that's fine, if she doesn't say anything, Xia Ran won't take the initiative to mention it.

The service department was quiet, no one spoke, only the ticking of the wall clock on the wall, and the sound of two people flipping through the books.Time passed silently in silence. On the last day of this adjustment period, nothing special happened again.

Of course, this is a good thing, Xia Ran felt that enough accidents had happened during this adjustment period, and now she didn't want any more surprises at all.

……

……

This night.

On the huge platform, Xia Ran appeared under the light of the white light ball. He looked at the familiar scenery around him, but still had no idea of ​​changing the theme wallpaper.Too much trouble and a waste of points.

It’s good just like this, and such a distinctive theme space allows me to be there immediately when I come in, knowing that I have once again stood in front of the copy of the infinite world, which is magnificent, difficult and treacherous, and quickly adjusts mentality...

In short, it is from "vacation" to "work".

Quickly walking to the lonely wooden door on the huge platform, Xia Ran reached out and grabbed the doorknob, applying for access to the public area, and then an inexplicable thought flashed deep in her heart——

Could this door have actually become the Whispering Door?Maybe Mephala is waiting for him behind the door?

Of course, this is impossible. Behind the door is the huge square. Although the magnificent stone pillars in the center in the distance and the majestic thunder-like energy flashes in the dark clouds have disappeared at this moment, indicating that the previous The mainline dungeon of that space has ended.

However, the square is still very lively, and the number of vendors is much higher than usual, not to mention the crowds moving around the square.

For a moment, Xia Ran felt as if he had returned to the center of Chiba City, in front of that large shopping mall... Shaking his head, he tried his best to dispel the strange associations in his mind, and then looked at own inventory.

Including those two magical artifacts, and those alchemy potions manipulated by Mephala...

Should I take advantage of this time and sell them all?After all, even after the space has been sterilized, he is still afraid that the magic teacher will harm himself... because his intuition is very certain only in this aspect, and he feels that Mephala has definitely succeeded for no reason at all.
