Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

“I didn’t say that.”

Ye Xing still wore that nonchalant smile on his face, shrugging his hands.

“I don’t care whether what I do is right or wrong. Like I said, I think, and I can, so I do.”

Immediately afterward, Ye Xing gently blew on his instant noodles and slowly said.

“What I pursue is complete and utter freedom, unbound by anyone or anything.”

……

After finishing the instant noodles, Ye Xing left.

While Shuangye Rio felt relieved, she also felt a strange sense of loss in her heart.

So…

He just came to freeload a meal?

How poor could he be, that he’d even freeload a bowl of instant noodles?

Judging from Ye Xing’s attire, it shouldn’t be the case, right?

“Wait, that’s not right…”

Shuangye Rio originally just glanced casually at the table, but when she saw the empty instant noodle bowls placed on it, she couldn’t help but be stunned.

Why… are there three empty bowls?

Clearly, I only made two bowls…

Wait a minute.

When I took them out, I seemed to have taken out two bowls the first time.

Then why did I think there was only one bowl afterward?

“Sakurajima Mai?”

Shuangye Rio muttered the name, a thoughtful look in her eyes.

Of course, she didn’t remember this senior.

However, she remembered Ye Xing mentioning Sakurajima Mai itself.

Shuangye Rio took out a notebook from her bosom and opened it. Recorded on it were those exchanges she usually had with Ye Xing, those nonsense words that, in her opinion, were all chuunibyou delusions.

“Cognition… is the only way to discover the world…”

“Cognition, thereby changing one’s own abilities.”

“Schrödinger’s cat, before observation, its existence cannot be determined, caught in the contradiction between the two…”

While Shuangye Rio muttered to herself, she took out a ballpoint pen and wrote various meaningless sentences and words in her notebook, which only she could connect together, to help her think.

“Ye Xing-kun, from any angle, does not fit the characteristics of a chuunibyou patient.”

“The world he envisions is also different from chuunibyou.”

Based on the information gathered during this period, Shuangye Rio discovered that the world Ye Xing described had a most essential, even contradictory, difference from the world described by most chuunibyou patients.

In the chuunibyou patient’s imagination.

That so-called “real” world has no confusion. The appearance of all fantasy things points to the deepest desire in the patient’s heart.

Whether it’s recognition, self-satisfaction, or getting out of a predicament.

In short, everything in that world is derived from this point.

And the world that Ye Xing constructs lacks a clear “goal,” and most importantly.

As the architect of the world, one should not produce any kind of unknown while building it.

After all, it is a virtual world constructed based on the “known.”

Shuangye Rio wrote for nearly half an hour before finally stopping.

The thoughts in her mind were like a tangled mess. She clearly felt that she was just a little bit away from touching the truth of the incident, but she was powerless.

Inadvertently, Shuangye Rio’s eyes caught sight of the three empty bowls on the table again.

The name Sakurajima Mai repeatedly appeared in her brain.

Shuangye Rio’s pupils dilated slightly, and a conjecture emerged in her heart, and she muttered to herself.

“Cognition… therefore, can be observed, could it be… that’s what’s going on?”

Shuangye Rio is a genius in the truest sense of the word.

The name Sakurajima Mai, the suddenly appearing third bowl of instant noodles, her own cognitive dissonance with the facts.

These three pieces of information were about to allow her to deduce the truth about Sakurajima Mai and this entire world.

Chapter 063: The Delinquent Girl in Class A, Shuangye Rio Faces the Truth

On the other side, after leaving the apartment where Shuangye Rio lived, Sakurajima Mai stopped.

The evening breeze made her feel a little chilly. She wrapped her collar around herself, hiding the lower half of her face under the collar of her coat, and looked at Ye Xing with a slightly complicated look.

“You… seem to be a little different from normal people.”

Ye Xing was taken aback by the words.

“Oh, good eye. You finally discovered that I am the chosen one, selected by this world, possessing uninhibited talent?”

Sakurajima Mai: “... That’s not what I meant.”

“Since you know that I used to be an idol, why was your reaction when you saw me like this… it’s hard to describe.”

Sakurajima Mai didn’t know what to say.

She felt that this Ye Xing-kun’s reaction when he saw her was a little too normal?

As a former national-level idol actress, Sakurajima Mai was already used to the atmosphere of being watched and talked about wherever she went.

Suddenly, someone with a normal reaction appeared.

It seemed abnormal instead.

“Is being a former national-level idol actress very impressive?”

Before Sakurajima Mai could answer, Ye Xing said to himself.

“Oh, it seems you’re actually quite impressive.”

As a child star, Sakurajima Mai had extremely high popularity within Sakura Province. Over 90% of the people, even if they couldn’t call out her name, could feel familiar just by seeing her face.

However, when she was about to graduate from junior high school, Sakurajima Mai suddenly announced that she would stop her entertainment activities.

This incident caused a stir at the time, but after more than two years, the topic’s heat had long since dissipated.

Wait a minute.

It seems to be about two and a half years since Sakurajima Mai retired?

“Alright, alright, so you’re also a little darkie!”

Sakurajima Mai was stunned for a moment, and she began to realize that something seemed wrong.

This Ye Xing junior, who was one grade lower than her and had a very bad reputation at school…

His mind doesn’t seem to be very normal?

“Anyway.”

Ye Xing’s ability to switch emotions was very fast, making Sakurajima Mai, a professional actor, feel ashamed of her inferiority.

“I’ll provide you with food every day. In exchange, you’ll show up in our club’s activity room at noon and after school, so I can see you once. Is this condition fair?”

“Just see you once? No other requests?”

“If you want other requests, I can consider them.”

Sakurajima Mai narrowed her eyes slightly, meaningfully.

“Is that so?”

“Just kidding.”

Ye Xing waved his hand, not caring.

“My interest in you as a person is more like pure lust than anything else. I’m more curious about the symptom itself of you disappearing from people’s cognition.”

Sakurajima Mai was completely shocked.

She stood there blankly, her lips trembling slightly, but she couldn’t say a word.

In her mind, it was as if a nuclear fusion was taking place.

No, buddy.

Aren’t you being too straightforward!?

It’s more like pure lust than anything else…

Suggest it be included in the dictionary.

Sakurajima Mai understands the principles.

As a highly popular beautiful girl idol, she has also encountered many overly enthusiastic fans who can be called perverts.

However, at least they abide by a basic law.

They say they like your acting skills, your smile, a certain TV series of yours, or your temperament.

No matter what you think in your heart, you always have to say it.

Ye Xing is really the first person she has encountered who would say such straightforward words in front of her, Sakurajima Mai.

Alright, alright.

You’re playing it so real, huh?

Seeing Sakurajima Mai completely silenced by his words, Ye Xing didn’t stop outputting.

A certain famous professional/non-professional e-sports player once said.

Outputting cannot stop for even a second.

Ye Xing: I agree.

“Your identity as a former national idol actress is indeed very good, but I’m not bragging to you, even the parent of the New World Kami has to be polite to me and give me a cigarette.”

“The New World… Kami?”

Sakurajima Mai sighed slightly, a look of speechlessness on her face.

“Your chuunibyou… is very serious.”

Although that’s what she said.

But clearly, Sakurajima Mai was certain that this first-year student named Ye Xing and the girl named Yotsuya Miko had encountered some kind of strange thing like her that was difficult for ordinary people to understand, or even imagine.

Don’t look at Sakurajima Mai being calm on the surface.

Actually.

She was panicking a lot.

As the days passed, the time when others couldn’t see her was also getting longer and longer.

The last time she met Ye Xing and Yotsuya Miko on the rooftop, this only happened during lunch break.

But now it’s not just lunch break, even during class and between classes, and even occasionally after school, sudden illnesses occur.

One second, Sakurajima Mai was still buying bread.

The next second, the shopkeeper couldn’t see her anymore.

It’s fine if they can’t see her.

The problem is that she already gave the money, but she hasn’t gotten the bread yet!

Sakurajima Mai wasn’t sure what it would look like in the eyes of outsiders if she reached out to take something while in a disappearing state, so she didn’t dare to take the risk.

Ye Xing is not normal.
