Approaching December, Xu Ji has returned to the school in other places, and Xu Shengxing has finally recovered from his injuries.

The injuries suffered by the latter were mainly caused by the cursed attack he received during the battle with Xu Yangu, and with the level of his super-grade psionic power, he only needed timely treatment to recover quickly.

Comparatively speaking, the recovery time required by Naoto Inoue is very long.

Not only is he not at a high level of psionic energy, but he is also a psychic medium that is extremely susceptible to mental pollution. The shock of memories of the large number of victims carried in the curse has a serious negative impact on his psyche. In Xu Shengxing's words, it is likely that Inoue Naoto has experienced first-hand the torture of the victims.

Today, he is still in a deep stupor. If you want to be cured, you must first arrange a skilled dream technician, and then cooperate with his own psychic ability to seal those harmful memories, and then slowly "expel them". Fortunately, he is a precious psychic medium in the Public Security Bureau, and his superiors will not ignore his situation.

Although he is not my real partner, just a temporary partner, I hope he recovers as soon as possible. And maybe there will be a time when I need to work with him again in the future.

Compared with the above two people, the situation of the remnants of the ant colony is undoubtedly more negative.

After losing the ant master, they explained to the black area of Beaver City what it means to be leaderless, and they retreated in the confrontation with the Beaver Public Security.

It's no wonder that they are fragile, and the underground organizations that have lost the protection of those in power are already vulnerable, like the Church of the Inner Church, which can fight against the alliance and other underground organizations, and can still run rampant all the way to the present. Others, even if they can be prominent for a while, will eventually end up in the same ending as the dark beavers of yesteryear.

They even counted on the Ant Lord having been safely reincarnated somewhere, and would return to the ant colony in the near future. But unfortunately, after killing Xu Quanan that night, Xu Shengxing and I had already inspected the surrounding area in detail. There are no other traces of reincarnation rituals, let alone other reincarnations. Xu Quanan is indeed dead.

Although Xu Shengxing failed to kill Xu Quanan with his own hands, he saw it very openly this time. It was not that he could not see Xu Quanan's "curse" before he died. Recently, his spirits have been getting better and better, not only has he regained his appetite, but he is even interested in cooking by himself. It's just that the color is as bad as ever.

"Xiao Ran cooks much better than me. I used to ask her to teach me when I was in school. I figured that if I could cook well, I wouldn't have to eat outside. But I really don't know how to cook food, it's okay to cook people. He was talking about me and Xu Ji's mother, "but she was very patient and taught me over and over again." Whenever I messed up, she always said: It's okay, next time it will be better. ”

"So, what about the result?" I asked.

"It turned out that we lived together before we had time to learn." He said.

Another morning, I went to the doctor's house in Turin.

She looked a little tired, as if she was still asleep, but was awakened by the sound of me entering the door. She is a very light sleeper and wakes up at the slightest movement. Once I was telling her a story at night, and when I saw that she was completely asleep, I got up and left and turned off the bedroom lights, only to be woken up by the slightest movement of me turning off the button. It's probably because of the excess of alertness.

"Actually, it's a return to the cage." She said to me, "I couldn't help but go back to sleep after breakfast." ”

"Another takeaway?" I asked.

"Hmm."

"What do you look like to the delivery person?"

She thought for a moment, "It's about a young woman in her twenties." He smiled and explained to me, "I'm a girl anyway, so I can't let people see me so strange." ”

"Forty-seven-year-old 'girl'?" I deliberately asked rhetorically.

"At least the body is still a girl." She said thoughtfully, and then added, "Actually, I want to grow up a little more, but this is just like my disability, frozen by my subconscious and psionic energy, not to think about normal." ”

"It's not convenient to eat."

"Someone has to feed it." She said so, but she usually sends the spirits she summoned to feed her, but when she said this, she changed her tone to ridicule, "I can only ask the kind Mr. Faceling here." ”

Hearing this, I wanted to deliberately agree first, and then see if she would be embarrassed. She's the same age anyway, and if I multiply the number of years in my life by two, she'll be eleven years older than me. But given her consistent style, she may also be calm. In order to make sure that my image is not wrong, I skipped this topic and talked about the disfigured killer and the ant colony. I consulted her last time about the former, and here it is necessary to give another letter for the ending.

"The Faceless Killer should be resurrected." "But if there are no more people in the know, it will definitely take a long time to resurrect." ”

"I think so." I say. If you want to completely destroy the elves, you must either eliminate all those who know, including yourself, or you can count on the appearance of an unreasonable undead to kill unreasonably. I don't know how many gods and spirits that were supposed to be resurrected in the past have disappeared into the hands of the gods and spirits of the dead.

"The remnants of the ant colony will probably not last until next year, and the punishment policy of the beaver police is quite harsh." She said, "It seems that the hidden dangers left by the past radical activities of the ant lord are finally no longer able to be suppressed." According to you, there are two generations of Ant Lords in total. Historically, the policy of the first generation was slow, while the second generation was much more radical, and in many places it can even be called reckless. But because of good luck, the ant colony became such a large organization. ”

I objected, "but he gave me the impression that he was quite cautious." ”

"I believe in you. I'm afraid his recklessness was deliberate. As she spoke, she paused slightly, and then returned to normal, "There are some people who always expect that there is an external force that suddenly turns their lives upside down. This is especially true when you are on an undesirable trajectory in life. ”

I finally asked, "Is this why you became a withered believer?" ”

And that's not the only reason. However, there are also people who become withered believers for this reason alone. "But after a while, it became difficult to quit." They are always able to fool those who join later with seemingly profound truths, and even believe in them themselves. Fear, pain, and despair without hesitation, and equally cruel to oneself, will sacrifice one's companions without hesitation, and offer blood sacrifices to inexplicable beings. ”

"They're all crazy," she asserted. ”

"I think so." I say.

A few moments later, I was once again in the training of formulating withdrawal pills.
