CH.17 False Joy

The kitten lay quietly on her bed, covering her eyes with her arms as white as mutton fat.

Through the open door, she peered through the gap between her hands at the two smiling figures outside.

Xiao Wangshu...... Wick......

-- Two unfamiliar names!

Wick has been here for a few days, but because he is not familiar with the relationship that he has been going out a lot lately, the two have not communicated much. But from Xiao Yin's mouth, she clearly knew one thing - this guy's ability to get into trouble seemed to be still above her previous self.

Through the door, Xiao Yin's frantic roar can often be heard recently......

-- If it had been before, I would have been good friends.

Wangshu is the daughter of Rin's sister...... Daughter, huh?

'There are more people robbing Rin with you......... ' thought to the kitten, and turned away from them.

There is no fear in the gray environment, and in this level, I always feel a warm and safe ...... Warm, like a gushing hot spring, slowly seeping out in the depths of my soul, warming that lonely heart.

'Rin, I've been here a lot less lately...... With them, so I don't matter?'

Thinking like this, the kitten reverted to the form of a cat, flicked its tail and left the Hall of Sixty-Nine.

............

............

In the early morning of the next day, the wick sat on the eaves, and the pair of white and tender little feet were dangling in the air~

"Wangshu, did you say that cat didn't like us and actually kicked us out. Wick asked quietly. Yesterday, Wangshu and the kitten met for the first time, but it was not pleasant at all. The two of them didn't talk much, and after a few words, the kitten ignored them and went to sleep on her own.

That's right...... The cat seemed to be a little sad at the time - I really missed Wangshu the other day!

'When she comes back, let's go in and find her again today!' Xiao Wangshu wrote in his notebook.

"Wangshu, are you going to play with that stupid cat today?"

Wick said in a reluctant tone, "What if she ignores us again!"

'Won't ......'

"Alas, since Wangshu says anything, I will also help~~" The wick patted his little chest and said.

Now that Wangshu has been assured, it is necessary to make some preparations in that case.

While it was still early, Wick left the office and came to a large supermarket not far from Huaxing Building.

There is a lot of traffic in the supermarket, but for the wick habitual offender, it is all a floating cloud. Skillfully turning on the invisibility spell, she isolated the range of her body five meters away from common sense. At that distance of five meters, ordinary people are in a special state that is invisible, inaudible, and incomprehensible to ordinary people.

This is a capability that all youkai that condense into a demon core possess. The invisibility spell is actually not magical, it just uses ordinary people's affirmation of common sense and inner barriers to guide it, forming a realm of common sense, and eliminating all extraordinary knowledge from their eyes.

Uh-huh, just a small spell.

Wick sat leisurely on a food shelf, clutching a head-sized Mirisu like a squirrel. It wasn't until after eating that the guy clapped his hands, picked up a pack of Mai Lisu beside him and hugged it in his arms, just like running out of the supermarket.

'By the way, the cat's aren't ready yet!!

"Since it's a cat, I should like to eat fish~' Thinking like this, the wick that flew halfway back to the supermarket and took a pack of dried fish that looked delicious.

"Wangshu, it's ready~" Near noon, the wick who came back proudly showed Wangshu his harvest.

After getting Wangshu's affirmative gaze, the two began to discuss the action in the morning.

However, when they arrived in the room in high spirits, they were disappointed to find that the kitten had long since disappeared.

Wangshu sighed in disappointment, and the two continued their game.

Since Rin is not allowed to go out, her life in the office is simple. When the wick is there, she plays with the wick, and after the wick leaves, she quietly snuggles up on the couch in Rin's office and reads...... It's plain and simple, but it's very happy.

Everything was so natural and harmonious, without any blemish in her consciousness.

Night, nine o'clock.

Xiao Rin hadn't come out of the reading room yet.

In her office, Wangshu leaned against the window, huddled in a ball, her knees folded as she looked at the crowd on the street below.

People are people......

A lot of people......

The river is endless, and there are people everywhere...... There are a lot of them, but they don't have the people they expect.

No...... She didn't even know what she was expecting!

Wangshu touched his chest a little depressed, I don't know why, my heart is a little uncomfortable.

-- I always feel that there are some important things that I don't remember.

-- Hazy, a soft voice echoed in his head, but he couldn't hear it clearly.

"Little ......" Wangshu opened his mouth, but there was only one meaningless mouth shape.

'Why does my heart hurt, it's so uncomfortable!'

Kittens often run away from home and don't meet much with Wangshu and Wick.

Silent in an inexplicable panic, Xiao Rin didn't notice it.

One day, two days......... Time passes slowly in a kind of dullness.

.........

.........

While Wangshu was worrying about Nameless' heartache, Rin in the reading room was also knocking on his head in pain.

Around her was a large pile of books of all kinds, all over the table, on the floor, and around the chair.

I flipped through the books for two days and two nights in a row, and the codexes, notes, and ancient books of the seniors of the master were ...... Xiao Rin has not yet found the specific reason for the strange things that Wang Shu found. There is no invasion of external forces, there is no trace of magic, that is a deeper repulsion!

"Rin, is that so?" Coming behind her, Tsuki gently reached out and rubbed her swollen temples for her.

"The problem is a bit serious!" Rin's face was solemn, and his originally beautiful brows were furrowed: "But Wangshu is okay for the time being." ”

“...... What about in the future, out of here?" asked Yue in a low voice.

She knew that this place was different from the outside world, and that it was outside of common sense.

"According to the current trend, Wangshu's situation outside will be very serious...... At the time, I thought the little girl was a little special, but I didn't care about it in particular, but now it seems that it was my mistake......" Rin pulled out a book from the stack, turned to the marked page, and whispered, "Yue, I'm going to the netherworld." ”

"Are you sure you want to go to the underworld, the legendary world shadow?" Yue Xiu's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and the hand she was massaging also stopped: "It's not like this world, it has a natural code...... I know from some literature at home that there are definitely many more strong people there than Yang Shi, and even if you encounter something like your senior brother, it's not impossible—why?"

"I know, but I'm going to go. ”

"Wangshu's situation is very bad, that kind of rejection does not seem to be the rejection of a specific world, but the natural rejection of the concept of the world itself to her personal! It stands to reason that this office already belongs outside the yang world, and any rejection will be blocked...... However, a new rejection has arisen. ”

"New ...... of exclusion"

"Yes, the new rejection! But seriously, I don't know why...... So I have to go to the underworld. As he spoke, Rin opened the book and pointed to one of the records and said to the moon: "Look here, this is the paragraph (the south of the green hill, the forest of mist. The star falls in the lake, and the fate is like the words of the stars. Hidden for a hundred years, you can know everything...... According to the records of the predecessor a hundred years ago, there must have lived a master of numerology and arithmetic in seclusion. ”

"Yue, you know, in fact, there is a lot of luck for me to step into the realm of Heavenly Master. Although I think I am not weaker than others, the kind of knowledge that has been accumulated over time is really a little worse, which is also the most essential difference. In the limited time, I only studied spells and seals in depth, and even if I was psychic, I only relied on the 'source' in my soul to reach this realm. As for arithmetic, it's just a beginner. Xiao Rin lowered his head, and his tone was a little depressed.

Those math masters who know the past and the future, and calculate the heavenly machines, can be said to be the people who know the most in the world. But counting is easy to learn but difficult to master, and in the realm of the Yang World known to Rin, no one can reach the realm of a master. Maoshan didn't, and neither did the rest of the sects...... Entire nations, and even the whole world, do not ......

No, there may be, but it's long gone.

"Rin, you're already amazing, really!" Shaking Rin's hand, Yue whispered in her ear: "In just four years, while cultivating the national art to the stage of transforming strength, I also cultivated to become a Heavenly Master, my Rin is the smartest!"

"That...... It's okay~"

"It's not okay, but it's really amazing!" straightened her head, and Yue looked at her seriously.

-- Rin is a genius!

Whether it is studying, cultivating national arts, or cultivating Taoism, she is a genius!

Talent is important to a person, but what is more important is the person's temperament, understanding of things, and even deeper will. Even under the same conditions, there will never be a second person who can go to her far!

In the heart of the month, this is the most basic common sense!

............

-- After talking for a long time, Yue seemed to remember something, and finally asked a very important question: "Rin, because of some things, the one in the night sea should not let her go, you are sure to let her go?...... Or do you know of other entrances?"

“...... It's really a problem~" After being stunned for a long time, he sighed faintly.

In the past few days, she has been immersed in the pile of books, and she really hasn't thought about this important issue.

Legend has it that there are nine gates in the underworld, but no one knows about the rest except for the Yin Hong City that never sleeps in Shanghai at night.

Night Shanghai, Yinhong never sleeps city.

The guy inside doesn't buy anyone's account!

"What a hassle......"
