flower and big devil

Have you ever wondered how the world is changing when you can't see it?

Before you open a door, the people in the room seem to be laughing, but until you hear it with your own ears and see it with your own eyes, you never and never know exactly what they were doing in the last second before you saw it What happened before—maybe it was just a fake sound from your gramophone to trick you, and everything in the room was still for a second before you opened the door.

friend.

family.

Waiters and crowded customers in the store.

passers-by.

Even an actor on TV or the president of a country.

Before you have a "real relationship" with "those people", you don't even know what kind of real appearance they have-maybe before you see them, they are just NPCs who can't speak or move, When you need them, they move, constructing a perfect false world for you, making you think that you have the same kind of false world-this probably symbolizes that you are the master of this world, although in life you are It seemed so mediocre.

Luo Xiu often thought about this kind of problem when he was a child. Sometimes he had to admit that his brain was too big, but he couldn't stop himself from lying on the window sill and looking down secretly at the corner of the curtain, wanting to See how Aunt Mary Sue's Scotch terrier looks when he doesn't know "he's looking at it" - it was late at night, and at first Rosie saw the dog sitting like a statue Standing motionless next to his kennel, Luo Xiu almost screamed or cheered for his discovery. He wanted to announce to the world, "Look, you are indeed a prop program that exists because of my existence", but unfortunately , the next second, he found that the reason why the Scottish terrier named "Quack" was not moving was that it was staring at a mouse beside the fence, and before Luo Xiu had time to cheer his great discovery, It is like the most lively gossip dog in the world, launching its "dog grabbing mouse" behavior.

When he grew up, Luo Xiu was surprised to find that someone made this phenomenon into a movie - until then, he thought it was just his own discovery and idea, but after that, he was disappointed to find that he was also very It may be just an "NPC" in the eyes of others.

Luo Xiu couldn't remember the plot of the movie.

But he gave this phenomenon a name that belongs to him. He called this almost neurotic speculation "the dark side of the world", and then put this "unique idea" behind his head, and turned to research. Another problem—for example, one day, when he saw Aunt Mary Sue pick up his crying little cousin from under an apple tree and hum a lullaby softly, he found that everything that happened in front of him seemed familiar , From the conversations to the actions of the people in front of him, he was so familiar that he seemed to have experienced it before. At that time, Luo Xiu, who was still a primary school student, thought he had seen his past and present lives.

But before he embarked on an in-depth research on the content of "past life and present life", he accidentally saw a special report on this phenomenon in a magazine—this time, he was not the only one— What's worse, the scientists in the magazine said that this is not a past life, but a misunderstanding caused by a disorder of nerve reflex in the retina.

Luo Xiu didn't want to recall how disappointed he was when he realized that he was "just the most ordinary one".

Looking back now, this is just the initial symptoms of the "Second Second Disease" that accompanies the outbreak of Qingdou.

Curing from the second disease is a long and extremely slow front.

It was probably from the age of seven until the age of nine that Luo Xiu finally gave up the idea that someone would summon him to the world of Digimon for adventure; finally ushered in the 12-year-old Luo Xiu who accepted the "Hogwarts admission letter is not Will come again", although he almost suffered from owl paranoia during the whole year when he was 11 years old; 16-year-old Luo Xiu found that the Tokyo Tower was standing there. Because the dragons and dragons are fighting, of course the end of the world has not come...

Who said that children's childhood can't be rough?You see, at least Luo Xiu had his ups and downs amidst expectations and disappointments, patiently withstood several huge blows that subverted his world view, and survived tenaciously.

As he grew older, these issues that he had seriously thought about and studied when he was young were gradually left behind by him, and he began to accept that everything around him was as he saw it with his eyes, and the old woman next door was always like that. Violent, his aunt's Scottish terrier always likes dogs to meddle in mice, and the white kids who always bully him in class are so annoying even in places where he can't see——

The earth would still rotate without him, Luo Xiu.

As an adult, Luo Xiu accepted the fact that "I am mediocre", and gradually forgot the subject of "the dark side of the world" that he had solemnly established when he was a child—even when he dreamed of the collapse of the world, When he saw the demon king rising slowly from the ground and the people running in panic, he still suspected that his chuunibopathy broke out again when he was in his 20s.

If it weren't for the tear mole that suddenly appeared so real.

He wouldn't even willingly throw himself into a madhouse.

At the age of 23, the black-haired young man who was burdened with the only mystery of "the truth behind the death of his parents" finally calmly accepted this "too late" job after waiting for more than ten years and giving up. The Exorcist Fate".

But at this time, Luo Xiu didn't know that, in fact, the "dark side of the world" really existed in another form--in fact, it was completely wrong to think that "the world is what I see". Every creature on the planet is a relatively independent individual, as long as they are always active, this means that you can never be sure that "they" are really "what you see".

Where Luo Xiu can't see, there are indeed many things that he doesn't know about.

……

Buddha Lomon Courtyard.

Patients mostly don't like whispering, but that doesn't mean they won't have normal day-to-day communication.In most cases, in Luo Xiu's eyes, they are always doing their own things, rarely talking and immersing themselves in their own world. However, the black-haired young man probably will not guess until his death. In fact, the patients in the mental hospital People also gossip.

Usually they are more sensitive than normal people.

This allows them to easily find the "alien" from among the "insiders", and then gossip about the "alien" without knowing it.

Yes, in the eyes of most of the abnormal people in the Fatu Luomenyuan, the black-haired young man with an oriental face who just arrived is actually a very strange person—a group of psychopaths who regard him as a "no A normal person", this kind of person is either a normal person, or a fighter in a neurosis.

The people of Futu Luomen classified this black-haired young man named Alice into the latter category without any embarrassment.

"—haven't seen Alice since Christmas."

"—Ah, I probably fell asleep again."

"——I heard that I fell asleep during the Christmas shopping process. It's so pitiful. It's hard to go out all year round, but I fell ill at that time."

In most cases, this black-haired young man named "Alice" is probably righteous, silent and not so indifferent and crazy in people's eyes, but even the old man who loves to play chess who is closest to him sometimes Admittedly, this is a very eccentric young man-sometimes, he can't help revealing the fact that he has a bad temper and uncontrollable emotions.

And every once in a while, like a small animal that needs to hibernate in winter, he will sleep for a long time, without eating or drinking, just sleeping, continuous, deep sleep without eating.Maybe a day or two, maybe a week - he will be under the personal care of Lord Uzrok during the whole process, and then, after a long and peaceful sleep, he wakes up from the dream again, and behaves like As if he didn't know that he had been asleep for a long time, everyone said that terrible things would happen to people who were sleepwalking when they woke up, so coincidentally, the people around them didn't mention it at all.

Surely no one in Buddha Lomen would come up to him full of food and say something like "Hey Alice, do you know you've been sleeping for a week? How did you do that?"

In addition, Alice probably suffers from some serious hallucinations - occasionally, he will mention some people who did not exist, for example, he firmly believes that there was a person who liked to clean windows in Buddha Lomon. A handsome young man--yes, a prettier young man than Alice, whom Alice had smugly named "Clark"--though, for God's sake, everybody knew The windows in the common room are cleaned by everyone in turn, rather than someone who has to scrub them.

There's a skinny dude named Ike Hari (French for "squirrel") and a fat country-pop duo named Rick.

And a pair of young French twin sisters—a beautiful sister and a presumably not bad sister—of course, the idea is quite promising, if it is not fantasy—but young people with blood, young The fantasies of a girl like this make people feel quite relieved, don't they?

"Of course, it's nothing. If there's nothing weird about it, he wouldn't have come to the ghostly place of Buddha Luomen."

The old man who loves to play chess calmly said without raising his head. After dropping a black piece, he turned the chessboard, and then began to think about how the white piece should move. Good chess"——when he finally dropped a white chess piece that seemed to be able to save the situation, he raised his head and looked at the man sitting on the sofa opposite him, who was wearing a fiery red dress The bishop's cassock, the red color matched unexpectedly well with his pair of heterochromatic pupils. When he lowered his head and silently sipped the steaming black tea in his cup, he looked so elegant.

Uzrock, known as the man who came out of the Bible.

The manager of Buddha Luomen Academy is taller than the emperor, which means that this handsome young man has the highest right to speak within the scope of Buddha Luomen Academy.

"How is Alice?" the old man who loves to play chess asked this man of extraordinary status, "Christmas has passed for almost two weeks, Lord Uzrock, he has never slept for so long before. .”

"Yeah, this time I slept unexpectedly for a long time. We probably encountered some small troubles." The man smiled gracefully, behind the white mist rising from the black tea, his expression became mysterious and his tone changed. It was ambiguous, "So I always thought I should ask you to see if I can find any solution."

"Ask us?" The old man who loves to play chess raised his head and glanced at the man inexplicably, "I thought you would go to the town to find a real doctor. How can people like us help?"

The man stopped talking.

He sat quietly on the sofa and looked around for a week—this year's winter was unexpectedly long and the weather was very cold. This bad weather meant that almost all the patients gathered in the common room, and most of them were in the common room. Resting, a few people are reading books... There are a few sick people standing next to the bookshelves. In fact, apart from some classic scriptures, there are only some harmless fairy tales left on the bookshelves... The man's calm eyes are on every Scanning over the patient standing by the bookshelf, at this moment, he saw the middle-aged woman named Alicia asking Sister Maria next to her to take down the book on the top shelf for her—it was a stained book. Uzrok took a look at the dusty book, but found that it was just a "Book of Enoch", not even a book specially recommended by Christianity.

At the same time, the chess game in front of the old man who loves to play chess has finally changed from the initial situation. When it was the turn of the black chess piece to move again, he discovered an interesting thing - because a Unknowingly, the white knight single-handedly entered the black chess piece. The black chess piece that had dominated the dominance from the very beginning was now about to be defeated by the white chess piece. "Well, White is about to check."

His words tended to be talking to himself, but at this moment, suddenly, the man who had been sitting on the sofa without moving moved. He put down his teacup, picked up an inconspicuous black Chess piece, eat the white piece that single-handedly entered the siege and was about to succeed as a "general".

The chess game changed drastically in an instant.

The remaining white pieces are almost all on the other side of the board.

Taking a closer look, black chess quietly covered every corner of the entire chessboard without knowing when.

The old man who loves to play chess: "..."

"You haven't finished the game yet, so don't be in a hurry to call 'General'." Uzrok said with a smile, "It's not that easy to turn the game over. No matter how powerful you are, whimsy and innocence will always be the best. Achilles' heel."
