If "fearlessness" is essentially a sick psychology, then Inoue Renta is undoubtedly a sick person.

Inoue Renta, who was in high school, relied on the clues left by Xu Shengxing to deduce the fact that the latter was a psyker. It is not so difficult to deduce this truth, because Xu Shengxing's past life was not peaceful. As mentioned above, Xu Shengxing in high school was like the protagonist of a fictional story - so his life was actually quite "colorful".

And in this kind of life, as a "real minor", he must not always be perfect in the work of disguising his identity. It's only a matter of time before it's exposed to anyone, but it just happens to be exposed to Inoue Renta.

Inoue Renta didn't spread this truth everywhere, but went straight to him, straight to the point, and told him: I know you're a psyker.

After Xu Shengxing heard it, he naturally didn't "kill people and kill people" - it is better to say that he actually had vague expectations for "exposing his power".

When he was a teenager, he was a combination of contradictions. It is true that he is afraid to expose his power, so he always disguises himself; But on the other hand, he is a teenager with illusions after all, and he also hopes that his "powerful side" can be known.

The appearance of Inoue Renta, while bringing him a sense of crisis, also gave him a sense of a wonderful sense of release.

And it just so happens that Inoue Renta is a guy who has been smart since he was a child, and his appearance is also handsome, so that his eyes are above the top. In his opinion, among the students of the same school, only Xu Shengxing, a psychic, is worth associating, and the rest of the idlers are nothing more than weeds. So the two hit it off and soon became good friends.

In the process of coming and going, Xu Shengxing gradually got to know Inoue Renta better.

For example, the latter's obsessive-compulsive disorder of "neatness", or the dual cleanliness of material and spiritual.

"If he sleeps with a woman, he must first fold the woman's clothes before he is willing to climb into bed." Today, Xu Shengxing said to us, "And if he goes to the toilet to urinate, he will have to wipe his mouth and skin inside and out seventeen or eighteen times with a paper towel before he stops." Of course, I haven't actually seen him sleeping with a woman, or going to the toilet to urinate. ”

"Wait—" asked Adam, bewildered, "Hearing you say that, don't you men generally don't wipe after urinating?" ”

"just wipe." Xu Shengxing said.

Adam looked at me in shock, "Really? ”

I turned a deaf ear and just faced Xu Shengxing, "And then?" ”

*

Then, Inoue Renta was naturally curious about Xu Shengxing's reason for concealing his power.

It was physical education class, and Xu Shengxing shared a playground with Inoue Renta's class, and the two stood in the shade of a tree on the edge of the playground. After listening to Xu Shengxing's reasoning, Inoue Renta immediately asked, "Lin Xiaoran doesn't know that you are a psyker?" ”

Lin Xiaoran was my mother in this life, and she was Xu Shengxing's girlfriend at the time. The two are a pair of secretive high school lovers. The reason for the secrecy is, on the one hand, that the school prohibits puppy love, and on the other hand, that they are too shy.

"I don't know." Xu Shengxing replied honestly.

"Do you want to hide it after you get married?" Inoue asked.

"Married?" Xu Shengxing stammered, "I, I, I haven't thought that far yet......"

"Huh?" Inoue Renta glanced at him, "Falling in love without the premise of marriage is a hooligan, you always know this, right?" ”

With such righteous and strict words, Xu Shengxing naturally couldn't refute it, "This ......"

"The 'psionic side' is also your inseparable essence. If you make up your mind not to show it to Lin Xiaoran, then it's better to break up as soon as possible. Inoue Renta said expressionlessly, "Don't just find a woman to marry in the future, wouldn't it be nice to be a chic and comfortable bachelor?" ”

"How can this be?" Xu Shengxing asked rhetorically, thinking of Inoue Renta's family background at the same time.

Unlike himself, Inoue Renta grew up living in a family where his parents regarded each other as enemies.

A few years ago, his mother revealed the fact that he was having an affair, and his father was brutally murdered and is now serving a prison sentence. It is said that the scene of the crime was full of blood, and he witnessed it with his own eyes. No one could imagine how shocking and terrifying it was for him.

"Why not? After all, why do men have to find women, and why do they have to get married and have children? Inoue said, "Look at the couples who are in and out of pairs, are they really as happy as they seem?" I don't think so. Most of the couples in this world have unspeakable dissatisfaction, and the happiness after dating is just a momentary enthusiasm, and after really getting to know each other deeply, they will soon get bored. ”

"I would never do this with Xiao Ran." Xu Shengxing solemnly assured.

"Then tell me, what do you like about Lin Xiaoran?" Inoue asked rhetorically.

Xu Shengxing's face suddenly turned red and he couldn't say a word. But Inoue didn't seem to be deliberately teasing, his attitude was serious, his eyes were serious, and his tone was serious. Xu Shengxing was infected, quickly sorted out his emotions, and then answered.

"Her mouth." Xu Shengxing said, "The lips are very pink, and you can smell the aroma when you talk closely." ”

"Well, go on."

"The figure is very slim and the face is good-looking." Xu Shengxing continued, "The personality is also quite kind, and he likes children. The last time I saw a child separated from her parents in a mall, she immediately went up to help. ”

"What else?"

"If you are not a picky eater, you will finish the meals well, but while you are strict with yourself, you are also lenient with others." The more Xu Shengxing said, the more immersed he became, recalling all kinds of sweet scenes when he lived with Lin Xiaoran, "I am by no means a consumerist, and I am very frugal." When I went out to eat with her, she always asked for it all to pay, even though I wanted to pay for it all. Always look out for me and don't waste money......"

After a while, Xu Shengxing had already said a lot. Inoue Renta nodded from time to time, and then suddenly asked, "What about the shortcomings?" ”

"The downside? Where are the shortcomings of Xiao Ran. Xu Shengxing said reflexively.

"There is no such thing as a person in this world who is not flawed. You will feel that she has no shortcomings, it must be because she is playing the image of a perfect lover to you. Inoue said expressionlessly, "Doesn't that sound impressive?" But the reality is cold. Never-ending acting is like a never-ending marathon, and no one can stick to it. Many men and women will desperately show their strengths in the process of pursuing each other, but they will continue to expose their shortcomings after dating; Or, although you still play patiently when you are dating, you will gradually reveal your true form after you get married. And this cannot be blamed for their laziness, because there is a limit to human willpower. ”

"But even if Xiao Ran has some shortcomings, I won't hate her." Xu Shengxing said firmly.

"Really? Then let me depict a Lin Xiaoran who is full of shortcomings. Inoue said, "Before, you said that you liked the aroma that came out of her mouth when she approached and spoke, but that was because she brushed her teeth diligently, rinsed her mouth in time after meals, and took active oral care and managed her stomach and intestines properly." There are many causes of bad breath, and if you prevent them all, it will be far more troublesome than you think. ”

He paused for a moment and continued, "And after getting married, you will find that the aroma in her mouth disappears, and instead she has bad breath. When kissing her, you will never feel sweet anymore, and even occasionally feel disgusting. ”

"Uh......" Xu Shengxing seemed to be imagining.

"No matter how slender the body is, it is easy to deform the body after giving birth, and the good-looking face will become dry and greasy. I used to dress very well, but after I got married, I would think, 'I'm married anyway,' and the outfit became casual. In the winter, they will be dressed bulgingly, like many middle-aged and elderly women you have seen. Inoue Renta said slowly, "'Not picky eater' is very good, but it may also be pretended, and people will like and hate food." And I remember you were a very picky eater, right? When she cooks for you in the future, when she sees you leaving the dishes you hate, she will inevitably accumulate dissatisfaction in her heart, and it will be difficult to 'treat others' as before. ”

"Hmm......" Xu Shengxing reflected silently.

"And you say she likes children, but that's usually what people who don't have a lot of contact with children say. Children are annoying creatures, and when she has children in the future, her patience will wear out sharply, and she may be like many mean parents who abuse and even beat their children at every turn. Believe me, this development is by no means uncommon. Inoue cruelly assumed, "After marriage, she may be a housewife and concentrate on raising children, and her financial income will depend on you, so there is no such thing as 'each pays for herself'." And when you come home tired at the end of the day and want to relax, maybe she will complain about why you don't take care of the children. When one day she finally can't help but refute, she will explode, screaming hysterically, yelling at how much she has sacrificed for the sake of her family, and you can't understand her difficulties at all. It's as if she can't understand your difficulties. ”

"Not really......" Xu Shengxing couldn't believe it.

"When the time comes, you will feel that your wife, both on the outside and on the inside, is the same as in the past, not only tired of her, but even hates her, hating why she let you see such a dream." Inoue said calmly, "But you are also at fault, because at the same time that she is playing the perfect girlfriend to you, you are also trying to play the perfect boyfriend." And one day, you will also get tired of continuing to provide her with dreams, and then expose your true self. A couple who look at each other and hate each other is done. ”

"Are you thinking too pessimistic?" Xu Shengxing couldn't help but ask.

He also wants to ask: Do you have prejudices about marriage because of your family background;

Even, are you talking about your own parents?

But he couldn't ask.

"There are indeed a few happy couples in this world." Inoue Renta concluded, "But for the average person, the wedding may be happy, but the marriage is destined to be bleak - this is the reality." You just be mentally prepared. ”

There was a long silence between the two.

After a while, Xu Shengxing said helplessly: "Although I don't think that I and Xiao Ran will develop as you say, what you said doesn't seem to be unreasonable. ”

"People's hearts change." Inoue said, "Even if it doesn't change because of the truth, it will change because of time." Perhaps, if nothing else, at least the hearts you like about each other now are real, but 'real' has nothing to do with 'unchanging'. ”

Xu Shengxing knew that he couldn't change his friend's opinion, so he just sighed: "If there is any psionic spell that can make people's hearts change forever." ”

Inoue Renta suddenly stopped talking, and after a while, he asked, "What did you say?" ”

"Nothing."

"No, you did just say-" Inoue Renta turned his head and stared at him intensely, "Use spells to keep people's hearts unchanging. ”

"Just casually, I've never heard of this spell before." Xu Shengxing was stared at by him all over the place, "Besides, even if you want to study, you have to become a psionic person to study." What do you care about this for? ”

Inoue Renta retracted his gaze and muttered to himself, "Is it okay to become a psyker?" ”

*

Later, unexpectedly, Inoue Renta, who hated marriage, got married earlier than Xu Shengxing.

According to Xu Shengxing, Inoue Renta is still a person with a strong sense of justice, he wanted to enter the police academy, but he could not pass the political examination, and finally had to change his course and enter medical school. It was there that he met a woman named "Hikaru Suzuki" and married her before graduating.

Later, he worked in a local hospital, but left his job due to a dispute with a black-hearted doctor, and turned to entrepreneurship, starting a drug business, and eventually developing the company into the "Beaver Pharmaceutical" it is today.

And Hikaru Suzuki gave birth to a son for him, named Naoto Inoue, which is now "Hasegawa". The family of three is happy.

However, the good times did not last long, three years ago, Hikaru Suzuki accidentally read a book containing "forbidden knowledge", and then unfortunately fell into a vegetative state, went to a local hospital for treatment, and has not woken up yet.

"Wait, forbidden knowledge? That doesn't seem right, right. Adam questioned, "In the intelligence on our side, Hikaru Suzuki became vegetative because of a traffic accident. ”

"It's one thing." Xu Shengxing said, "The forbidden knowledge caused Hikaru Suzuki to hallucinate, and the hallucinations happened to occur while she was driving a car, which eventually caused a traffic accident." ”

"What kind of forbidden knowledge is that?" I'm very concerned about that.

Because the blood sacrifice rituals that I have mastered also belong to "forbidden knowledge" in terms of classification.

"How do I know? Forbidden knowledge is forbidden because the mere 'knowing' has extremely bad consequences. Xu Shengxing said quite jealously, "Even if I am given a chance to understand, I will never try to understand." ”

"Will it ...... Is that the forbidden knowledge related to the 'Psionic Awakening Medicine'? Adam said suddenly.

Hearing this, Xu Shengxing showed a suspicious expression.

I then remembered that although I had mentioned human experiments with him on mysterious organizations, I did not say that the purpose of the experiments was probably "psionic awakening medicine". So I explained it to him.

Xu Shengxing was silent for a long time.

Then shake your head.

"At that time, in order to prevent the spread of forbidden knowledge, our public security also specially conducted strict searches. Therefore, it is certain that only Hikaru Suzuki has read the forbidden knowledge from beginning to end, and it is impossible for the mysterious organization to grasp it. Speaking of which, he felt that there was a loophole in his words, so he patched it, "Unless a psychic medium channeled her and forcibly extracted the forbidden knowledge from her sleeping brain." ”

"In other words—" I immediately noticed the most crucial part, "as long as there is a medium, right?" ”

"That's right." Xu Shengxing nodded.

"Maybe you don't know." I said to him, "Inoue Renta's son, 'Hasegawa' - Naoto Inoue, is a psychic medium. ”
