Escape from the world [Cthulhu]

After asking some simple questions, He Ying and Chu Lishu came out from Mori Shan's house.

It is almost four o'clock now, and there is definitely no time to go to the next one.

"Go back." He Ying simply calculated the time, and then said to Chu Lishu, "Let's exchange information about each family first."

Chu Lishu nodded: "Well, I'll listen to you."

He Ying paused for a moment before heading towards the shrine first.

He Ying【Luck】Check/Exit: 55/31 success

Chu Lishu【Luck】Check/Exit: 65/95 failed

He Ying found that not far from Mori Shan's house, there were some low-rise houses with some farm tools at the door.

He Ying paused, then raised her legs and walked over there.

Chu Lishu, who was left behind by him, looked at the test record, and was a little thankful that she had locked the dice value, otherwise she would have failed.

After approaching, He Ying found that most of these houses had closed doors and windows, and there seemed to be no one there, except for two or three scattered houses whose doors were not locked. One of them was particularly dilapidated, and two thin boys sat at the door.

"Hello." He Ying walked over and said hello, and Chu Lishu followed behind him.

"Hello." The taller of the two boys held the other behind him, "May I ask who you are?"

"I am Lord Zhongdai, please come back to investigate the matter." He Ying was not sure whether ordinary people in this town knew about the existence of the black cat, "Is your lord here?"

"My parents won't be back until evening..." The boy relaxed a little after hearing Master Zhongdai's name, but he still looked at the two uninvited strangers warily, "If you want to find them, please Wait under the tree over there."

He Ying looked at the tree not far away that the boy pointed to. There were two small stools under the tree. He said to Chu Lishu, "You go back first. I will stay here and wait for their parents. return."

Chu Lishu didn't agree directly, but asked, "Did you find any clues?"

"At present, there is not yet, but if we follow the clues given by the shrine maiden and Master Nakadai, our investigation circle is limited to the upper class of the town, and we have no way of knowing the situation of the common people..." He Ying explained, "But until now, we have no definite evidence to prove that the targets of revenge they said were people from the upper class."

"Then I'll be with you." Chu Lishu smiled, "Although there seems to be no danger at the moment, I still think it's better to have someone with you."

"……what ever."

The two sat down on the small stool under the tree. The two boys were quite wary at first, but seeing that they hadn't made any special moves, they were relieved and continued with the previous thing—they were weaving straw sandals.

He Ying is not good at handicrafts, but she is also very self-aware and doesn't make trouble.

But Chu Lishu was quite curious, and took the initiative to lean over to see how they made it up: "Can you teach me?"

The boys looked at each other, and one of the older ones gave him some straw: "We don't know how to teach people, but you can watch how we weave it."

Chu Lishu was not angry either, she took the straw with a smile, and played with it in her hand.

He took a handful of straws, aligned them, and weaved them deftly.

The younger boy looked at him with a frown: "What... don't you know how to do it?"

"I just know some small things, and I have never made straw sandals before." Chu Lishu moved her ten fingers nimbly, and quickly made a small grasshopper, and sent it to the little boy, "Look, this kind of feeling Well enough?"

The little boy curled his lips: "I will also..."

"If you know how, that would be great." Chu Lishu smiled and said, "When you finish your work, can you weave one for me? I'll give you this one."

The older boy frowned: "Qing Shui, don't take other people's things casually."

Qing Shui turned his head away and muttered, "I didn't even say I wanted it."

"Don't be nervous, I'm just bored." Chu Lishu spread his hands, "I didn't bring anything, so don't be afraid, it's just too boring, I just want to chat."

The older boy frowned: "You can chat with your companions...we still have to work."

"Is his name Qing Shui?" Chu Lishu looked at him, "What's your name? My surname is Chu."

"Mr. Chu," the older boy looked at Chu Lishu seriously, "please don't disturb us. You can visit everywhere leisurely, but we can't."

"Come back, Chu Lishu." He Ying also said, "If there is anything, I can ask the elders after they come back."

Chu Lishu immediately returned to He Ying's side: "You look worried. I wanted to go to the cat cafe with you before, but you refused to go."

"I'm just a little worried about An Xian." He Ying recalled some parts of the last module, and frowned unconsciously, "I hope she's okay."

"If you are like this, I will also worry about you." Chu Lishu said, "Are you putting too much pressure on yourself?"

"It's okay." He Ying hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Actually, it's not just about An Xian."

Chu Lishu recalled what happened in the last module, and then tentatively asked: "Is it the fight with someone...?"

He Ying nodded.

"I was negligent." Chu Lishu couldn't help blaming herself for forgetting that He Ying couldn't afford a gun like Yan An or An Lan, and was even more capable of hurting people. "How do you feel now?"

"...There is a sense of unreality." He Ying looked at her hands, "There is often a thought of 'Is this really what I did?', and I doubt that everything I experienced actually happened. What happened is still just a dream of mine.”

Chu Lishu felt that something was wrong, so he secretly opened He Ying's character attribute panel.

However, all the values ​​​​are normal, even the sanity value is normal.

There is no problem with the value, and there is no special status.

But He Ying's current state is indeed not right.

Chu Lishu hesitated for a moment, then said:

"I don't really understand your current state very well, and I have never been confused between reality and illusion—or I have never noticed it."

"But even if I realize it, it probably won't shake me."

"I just need to know that I am standing here now."

"Whether it's true or not, at least do what you're doing right now."

"Don't think about things that don't have answers."

The author has something to say: Chu Lishu’s speech at the end is not my own opinion

In fact, it's Boss Yan's three views

=-= I’m ashamed to say, I was in a video connection with Boss Yan when I was Cavin, and then I asked this question

got this answer

Q: Why did Chu Lishu answer the same as Boss Yan?

A: Because the personalities of Chu Lishu and Boss Yan are very similar in essence.

And Boss Yan himself said "I hate people with similar personalities to me", so in the article, Boss Yan would reject Chu Lishu so much
