18. Say hello and give an account

The last time I went, it was empty, and I didn't find the target, but I was led by Huangquan, and the location and route were already understood.

Li Nian walked on the way to the three-year Group A classroom.

From time to time, boys and girls walked past him, and there were people who laughed and chased after him...... Hey, school rules don't allow running in the hallway?

Well, that doesn't seem to be a hard and fast rule.

In this way, while walking, I paid attention to these young people who passed by.

In fact, he is still very curious in his heart, so he is curious to observe the people or things around him.

Even if you don't deliberately listen to it, the laughter is full of ears, and it has been a long time since I feel such a light atmosphere, and I can see almost all the smiles on their faces.

I watched a lot, but I felt a little bored.

Sure enough, no matter this side of the world, young people of this age are the same.

That smile is too simple, like a smile for no reason, I don't know what I'm happy for, hehe, I feel silly to be honest, what is this called? Oh yes, naïve.

Innocent people gather together, and the atmosphere is certainly brisk.

Li Nian has always hated such a thing as naivety.

It's okay to see one or two in front of him, and he can accept it, but when a group of two groups appears in front of him, even the whole air becomes fluttery, and he feels a little unbearable.

He had little contact with students before.

Over the past twenty-nine years of his life, he has been exposed to a variety of ...... A wide variety of creatures...... Regardless of the inhuman, there are many ordinary people, poor or rich, brave or cowardly, decisive or hesitant, strong or weak...... All kinds of things, all kinds of differences.

But there are very few students among these people, students are not called members of the society, the school has nothing to do with the bull who is one of the masters of the anti-heavenly way and the director of the processing bureau, and the students have nothing to do with Li Nian in the past.

Of course, it's not that I haven't seen it, it's impossible not to see it, it's just students, it's everywhere, this society requires children to generally receive compulsory education, and the education system of more than ten years means that the student group is an age group with a span of more than ten years, and a bunch of people can be picked out in the sea of people as far as the eye can see.

But in the past two days, I have entered the campus as a student, and at such a close distance, it is still a novel experience to really get in touch with, or participate in the student community.

It's not a good experience.

That's what it is...... They...... Do you remember your youth?

Li Nian had looked forward to it, but now he was actually a little disappointed.

Maybe it was because he didn't fit in, he thought......

This was expected, Li Nian understood that he was out of place, and it was impossible to fit in. With a seventeen-year-old skin, he was a twenty-nine-year-old adult before he died, not to mention his multiple identities, he is fundamentally different from these people in front of him, he is special, very special.

It's really hard for him to fit into this kind of light and fluttering atmosphere, and he doesn't want to pretend to be mature and fit in.

Indeed, there is no need for him to dislike anything, and there is no need to change anything, because everything in front of him is the product of natural development.

Students are children...... Innocence is their common character, and children are like this.

That's right...... Children are like that...... Li Nian understood that he was thinking too much, and realized that he was too much, too observing from his own point of view, but his standards were not suitable for these people, and his life trajectory had deviated far from the normal track......

This society is highly developed, so it is also complete, safe and peaceful, and ordinary people will not have the experience of fighting and killing like Li Nian at all, and the battle is very far away from them.

So they may not need to become strong and mature so quickly......

Wrong...... I was mistaken.

A peaceful society is also a complex and dangerous place, where competition exists in a different form, not so direct, less intense, and does not require a distinction between life and death, but it is still cruel and does not allow naivety.

He turned his head and looked out through the window, where the view was still quite wide, with a view of the playground and several tall school buildings.

Here is the school.

He suddenly understood.

Student...... Child...... It's a protected group.

It was ...... by the school and by the teacher It is also protected by parents and society.

So of course the child is naïve, of course the child can be naïve, naïve is their right.

For there were people who sheltered them, sheltered them from the wind and rain, and gave them the illusion that they would always be away from the storm......

Until one day, the person who sheltered them was gone......

-- The man's back came to mind.

The memory was sudden, without warning, and it was taken for granted in the current way of thinking.

So of course, my heart hurt again.

Something naturally rushed up to his throat, causing Li Nian to purse his lips for a moment.

He Li Nian was also a child, and he was also naïve.

But one day, someone was gone.

The man who once sheltered him from the wind and rain is gone.

His cheeks ached from the sudden wind and rain.

Then he realized that he was not allowed to be naïve-

- Damn.

He smacked his tongue slightly, his thoughts were crooked again, and he was thinking about something.

People are like this, they will think non-stop when they are alive, and when they think about it, they like to remember the past, and suddenly they recall something, and suddenly they become sad and sad, and they have no use except to make themselves very uncomfortable, which is really a bad habit.

I closed my eyes slightly, inhaled, exhaled, and opened my eyes again, and I had already thrown away some things, and my mood calmed down.

At this time, when I looked up, I could already see that the classroom of Group A of the third year was in front of me.

A girl just came out.

Looks like it's going this way.

Li Nian stopped, thinking that he could ask her if Hagawa Tsubasa was there, and if something left, he would not be allowed to wait for the rest of his spare time......

…… Well?

Li Nian noticed something, sensed something, frowned and stopped for a while, and stared at the past.

Only then did he take a closer look at the man.

At this glance, I found that this girl had a beautiful and delicate face, long hair like a waterfall, and a slender and thin body, like a deep boudoir lady who came out of nowhere, but her face was cold, her eyes were indifferent, and she seemed to be rejecting thousands of miles away, and she didn't seem to be a good object to ask.

But Li Nian frowned and stared at her now, not because of such a superficial thing......

Under Li Nian's direct gaze, the girl walked this way, her steps were frivolous, not very steady, and she felt a little weak and sick.

Li Nian stopped in place, her eyes were firmly fixed on her, looking a little rude, of course she noticed, but also squinted indifferently, this gaze was as cold as a knife, and the hostility was obvious, as if she said "don't approach" again.

But until the passing of the shoulders, neither of them remained silent or said a word.

Li Nian listened to the sound of clackling footsteps in the distance behind him, and then muttered.

“…… Is that a refractory to it? ”

What he sensed was that the girl was possessed by something.

At the same time, however, I felt divinity.

Doesn't it seem to be a malignant basis?

If it is a malignant dependent, it is often to absorb the essence of the dependent, interfere with the consciousness of the dependent, cause negative effects, and even endanger life - this has already involved his Li Nian's duties, it is that kind of situation, if you can't say it, you have to take care of it, even if it seems that this girl is not the type that is easy to contact, you should stop her at the moment and ask about the situation.

But what he had just felt was something divine with it.

He turned his head and looked in the direction of the girl's departure, the figure was far away, about to disappear around the corner.

“……”

Li Nian thought for a moment, then stretched out his finger and flicked it on his eyebrows.

Turn on Vision.

The field of vision suddenly changes to a monotonous color of black and white, and at the same time, it reflects something invisible to the naked eye.

See the shadow hanging over the girl's head.

“…… Crab? ”

He didn't know much about Japanese Shinto, and he couldn't guess the history when he saw its body and its shape, so he still didn't know what impact it would have on people.

But there is divinity in it.

Is it God's dependence?

In that case, there is often no malignant effect.

So, is it better to leave it alone?

He couldn't tell the difference, and was pondering, when suddenly a cry of surprise came from behind him.

"Well, is that ...... over there?"

The voice was somewhat familiar, Li Nian was stunned for a moment, and turned his head away.

Tsubasa Hanekawa stood at the door of the classroom, as if he had just come out, holding a thick stack of books, and looking at himself in surprise.

Ah, the Lord has found it.

Li Nian raised his hand and was about to say hello, when he seemed to be following Hanekawa, and a boy came out of the classroom, also holding a stack of books, and said as if he was puzzled by Hanekawa's expression.

"What? What happened to Hanekawa? Could it be aliens? ”

…… It is the Araragi calendar.

Again, the main owner was really found, but the two of them were still in the same group.

I've seen it all over the years.

"Ah......h

The expression froze on Li's face, and a dull voice came from his throat.

Li Nian nodded and said hello.

"Long time no see, Ara Ryogi, and Hanekawa."

Li glared and muttered.

“…… It's really aliens. “

"Who, that's? I? ”

“…… No, no! ”

When he first woke up from a dream, he shook his head vigorously, slapped his face, and then stretched out his hand to point at Li Nian, and asked with a trembling voice.

"You, are you Li Nian?"

"Nonsense."

"But, but you're dressed like this?"

Li's eyes were staring and his mouth was open in disbelief, and the fact that someone who shouldn't have appeared appeared in a place where he shouldn't have appeared seemed to be a little too much for his poor brain to handle.

Hanekawa quickly calmed down, but he still looked confused.

"Hello Mr. Li, but this is really an unexpected goodbye."

"Surprised?"

"yes, I was really scared."

Hanekawa smiled bitterly, turned his head, looked at the calendar beside him, and obviously understood who Li Nian was looking for here, she continued.

"No one would have thought that Kamimei-sama was his classmate...... Is it really because of Araragi-kun? ”

Huang Quan also had such a question, after that incident, a martial god suddenly appeared as a classmate, no matter how you look at it, it is all for Arara Wood - anyone who knows about Heartunderblade will have such an association, because this is reasonable.

Actually, this is not the case, this is a pre-book.

Li Nian opened his mouth, he had explained to Huang Quan, and now he also wanted to explain to these two people, but when the words came to his mouth, he thought about it, maybe it would be better to let this misunderstanding continue, so he closed his mouth again and was silent.

Hanekawa took the silence as acquiescence, and showed an expression that was indeed so.

Li also came back to his senses from the initial surprise, he heard the conversation between Li Nian and Hanekawa very clearly, and also understood the matter of "Li Nian enrolled in the general affairs high school because of himself".

Then he looked at Li Nian, but his expression became complicated.

For the first time since that day, we met.

Li Nian once hunted down Heartunderblade and wanted to retreat from it, but he failed, because there was a variable in Araragi - Ara Ryagi himself was also aware of this, if it wasn't for his own appearance, Heartunderblade would have died, and for society, this is a good thing.

It can be said that Ara Liangmu has ruined the major events of Li Nian and others.

But from the beginning to the end of the incident, Li Nian seemed very tolerant of him, at the beginning stage, he thought that he was an innocent person who was involved, and planned to save him, even if he was disappointed in him later, he officially corrected his hostile attitude, beat him to half death, took out his heart, and finally returned the heart to him, sparing him a small life, and was even moved by his methods and words, gave up the killing intent of Heartunderblade, and restrained the three of Chilo Jinkada, which led to the end of this matter.

Now that I think about it, Li Nian is like an enemy to him, but also a benefactor.

Li Shi didn't know how to face Li Nian, and when Li Nian appeared in front of him, he felt scared and afraid, and felt grateful and ashamed.

When Li Nian saw his expression, he already knew what this kid was thinking.

For the matter of Heartunderblade, he himself felt a lot of emotion, and after many days of goodbye to this kid, he actually had some mixed feelings.

He said suddenly.

"I still haven't figured out whether it was right or wrong for that decision."

As for the thoughts he had about that day, when he put his sword into the sheath and gave up the killing intent of Heartunderblade, he actually hadn't sorted it out until now.

But he will eventually sort it out and know where the opportunity is.

Li bowed his head.

"I'm very sorry."

He could only say this, he had to say this, as if he felt that the sincerity was not enough, he hurriedly added.

"And that ten million! I'll definitely be clear! Of course, I know that I am not capable now, but after a few years of work, even if it takes seven or eight years, I will still be able to ...... Trust me! ”

He didn't say that Li Niandu had almost forgotten that this kid still owed him 10 million yen...... Did Oshino already tell him?

Tsubasa Hanekawa also seemed to know, she didn't interject, and looked at the two in silence.

So it's hard to deal with this 10 million......

Li Nian thought about it, and already knew what to say next, he pointed to the book Hanekawa was holding.

"Let's get to the point, both of you are here, which saves me a lot of things, but, basically, I didn't want to say too much about this time, you still seem to have something, so I should make a long story short."

Li Nian held up a finger.

"First of all, I'm here to say hello, it's true that I'm studying here, and I want to supervise you."

"So?"

Li didn't think too much, but Hanekawa keenly grasped the details of Li Nian's words.

"We?"

Li Nian nodded.

"Hanekawa, both Oshino and I feel that certain traits of your personality are dangerous."

"I'm dangerous?"

Hanekawa tilted his head, as if he didn't know what Li Nian was referring to, but Li thought of a lot, shivered, turned his head to look at the girl next to him, and nodded meaningfully.

Hanekawa looked at the calendar in confusion.

Li Nian didn't say much, and raised a second finger.

"Second, Araraagi, I want to ask you for one thing."

"Please? No problem, it's on me! ”

Li was stunned for a moment, and then patted his chest without thinking about it.

Li Nian also said it directly.

"Help me find Heartunderblade to borrow her knife, Xindu."

Li's face immediately fell, obviously regretting that he had agreed so refreshedly.

"This—This is a little difficult......

Now I don't know how to face Heartunderblade.

"Mortgage your five million debts."

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

I'm going to have to go on it too!

Li's eyes sparkled.

Hanekawa looked at Li Nian suspiciously.

Five million said to give? Is it such an important thing? Or is it not important that there is a debt of 10 million?

Li Nian didn't explain, and directly raised his third finger.

"Third, Araragi, I hope you can spare time on the weekend and go somewhere with me."

“…… Where? ”

This time, he was obedient and didn't agree directly, but Li Nian shook his head.

"You'll know when you go."

He sold the guanzi, and Li didn't hesitate for too long, so he nodded and agreed.

"I see."

"So, meet at the school gate at 10 a.m. on weekends...... That's all I have to say for the time being. ”

"Is that all?"

"Yes, the others are gone, it's not early, classes will be going on soon, I'm sorry for delaying you for so long, then, goodbye."

After saying that, turn around and leave.

Tsubasa Hanekawa shouted behind him.

"Wait, Mr. Li, what class are you in?"

"Group F."
