Chapter Seventy-Three: Another Place
"Miao's farewell ceremony on Sunday?" I suddenly asked. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
ββ¦β¦ Yes, Masako told you? I hope you'll come and attend. β
"Of course I'll come," except for the statement before leaving last night, Ah Miao's father always gave me a cold-blooded and ruthless touch, although I knew that it might be a delusion, I was still quite unhappy about it, and I couldn't help but ask, "In your heart, what is more important?" Work ideal or family? β
"To be honest, this question is difficult to answer," he said, "It's not that I don't pay attention to Ah Miao, it is because of the importance that I have the obligation to do a better job, this is a society with a division of labor, everyone must find, and must have their own position, it is the joint efforts of all people to create this realistic society suitable for the survival of most people, if some people give up their efforts, it will be everyone who will be affected, I value Miao, so I attach importance to work, but work has made me lose my daughter!" β
"I can see that you are still sober and organized, and you are not affected by your sadness."
"The nature of the work is the same."
"Even if it's not been a long time, I'm pretty sure I hate you quite a bit, and I didn't have much affection for you from the first mention of her father," I said, "and it turns out I don't need to have a crush on you. However, I think that outsiders generally have multiple personalities, and many people are used to surviving in this way...... But you at least know how to be honest with your heart, and you are still a lucky person. β
"Lucky?"
"From another point of view, you are lucky enough to have preserved a rare quality, but unfortunately, it is more valuable to cultivators, and ordinary people don't care."
"I don't know what you mean by outsiders, but I'm no different from most people."
"The difference between people is actually very small." These are the words of my magician, and the process of creating consciousness is also the process of finding the commonality of will.
"Are you going to talk to me about mysteries?"
"No, it's all about feelings, and mood particles have no practical meaning. Originally, I wanted to ask you to help me find out more things, but not long ago I realized that this involved a system that you would maintain even if you did not hesitate to give up your personal hatred, so the small talk ended here," I noticed that the signal feedback of the Yin Yang Jade had become quite stable, and it had probably been probed by people with mana or soul power, "I also have a job." β
"Hope is not a dangerous job."
"Danger is always objective, and avoiding it has made me suffer a lot, facing up to 'danger' is an indispensable quality for a practitioner, and I hope you can do it, if you love your daughter."
"Thank you."
Hanging up, I breathed a long sigh of relief, and then to my dismay, to find that the long list of nonsensical things that had taken me so long and uttered in a serious tone that disgusted me had not had any real effect, and that at least the information I really wanted to know, such as whether the Metropolitan Police Department and its senior officials were involved in the organization behind the scenes, and if so, how deep that involvement was still in the fog.
I don't think I'm going to try to be as serious as possible when I'm face-to-face with mature people, and in fact I hate myself for being so bitter and hateful, and this change seems to be a multiple personality? I can't help but beat a small drum in my heart, I just hope that I will not be imperceptibly assimilated by the outside world, and in order to resist this deteriorating transformation, we must pay more attention to self-cultivation, instead of continuing to hold the indifferent attitude of gaining and losing my life.
Saying...... I'm really sorry for my slack practice attitude, and I'm full of energy, looking forward to upgrading, and I'm an outsider! From the bottom of my heart, I apologize to Ito's children and the rest of the outside demons who have conflicts with me.
It seems that Gensokyo residents such as the little black cat Ah Yi are missing?
With strange thoughts spinning around in my head, I followed the source of the signal and took a few shifts of transportation, and I found myself unconsciously in an area to the southwest near the mountains and forests.
From the elevated ground, the modern metropolis and the verdant mountains are separated by a stream of dikes.
Of course, the Yin-Yang Jade is not in the mountains, but from the faint feedback, it is not somewhere in the city buildings, but in a location deep underground not far from the tram stop - the signal is getting weaker and weaker, but there is no translation, and that depth is not like the basement of an ordinary house, is it a secret place similar to the underground laboratory of Ambrera?
What is Ambrera? Isn't it an umbrella?
Leaving the train station, surrounded by a variety of convenience stores and cafes, similar to other similar areas in Tokyo, and a little further away, surrounded by large and small companies with format Co., Ltd. signs, the part outside of the traditional business model has changed as much as the change from the countryside to the city a hundred years ago, and some of the companies with strange words such as agency, trust, customization, and special labor provision made me feel confused as a rural girl. Figuring out what these companies do can seem like a daunting task.
It was late afternoon, and there were few pedestrians on the wide and narrow avenues, and most of the vehicles were large and medium-sized freight vehicles, and private cars were rare.
Turning an intersection, I saw a familiar minivan parked in the courtyard outside the vestibule of an ordinary building with more than ten floors in front of me, which was the car of the dragon god's incarnation Fu Daogan and two Dharma protectors. Looking at the inconspicuous white faΓ§ade in front of me, I almost concluded that this was one of the most important venues, if not the headquarters of the behind-the-scenes organization.
In front of the wall is a semi-open automatic prismatic door, and there are several signs hanging on the side, indicating that there are several unrelated ordinary companies and organizations that rent the building space, and it is impossible to see which of the company signs is the packaging skin of the behind-the-scenes organization.
Car rental, textile, machinery repair, e-commerce...... It was strange to stare at the sign until I was dizzy, and I decided not to bother diving into it before I planned it.
It is customary to be invisible first, carefully passing under the nose of the porter, and no movement is noticed, and the assassin Dafa that I have concocted by myself with a few days of experience seems to be becoming more and more proficient.
Next, since I may have to deal with monsters or people with supernatural powers, I have to raise 120,000 points of concentration and vigilance, and narrow the range of accurate perception and detection to within three meters of my body to ensure that the alarm is not triggered, and that the monsters or cultivators cannot detect the movements of mana.
If I can return to Gensokyo vertically after this trip to the outside world, I will complain to myself in my heart, Marisa Thief and the like will no longer have to worry about it!
