Chapter 6 Until I was hit by an arrow in the knee
If you look purely at the level of development, Dongmu City is actually not a very prosperous place. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
This small city in the Kansai region of Japan has nothing unique in its own right, and there have never been any places of interest worth mentioning, and even the main transportation artery that was established a few years ago to connect several thriving regions of commerce and trade has quietly bypassed the city with the stroke of a pen from some officials, as if ignoring its existence.
Even the city itself still has a natural harbor near the sea, but it is gradually abandoned by the people of the city because of the strange currents that change throughout the year on the sea.
So on the whole, this is a declining city that has not caught up with the main trend of rapid economic development and has been completely forgotten by the whole country and the people.
But as the saying goes, there is light, there must be shadow, and good and bad are always opposed to each other, so even if it declines to this point, this ancient place called Dongmu has some unique characteristics of its own.
For example, the unique pattern of the half-day ancient style, half of the new era,
For example, the deep mountain town, which has maintained its ancient customs, and the new capital, which is only a short river away from it, is very different and has a very modern style.
For example, the blue satin-like river of Woncheon, the crimson steel bridge that spans the two places, and the Yanagidong Temple, which was built at an unknown time.
For example.... The convergence of leyline energy that only happens once every sixty years, and the consequent unfolding, this cruel and beautiful event that mortals will never know in their lifetime....
Holy Grail War.
"Then again, it's a familiar view...."Standing in the middle of such a city, someone looked at the surrounding buildings and sighed softly in a tone full of nostalgia.
It had taken him a long time to get there, so now he had just caught up with the dawn - before his eyes, a ray of morning sun finally broke free from the heavy clouds in the sky, and shed the first rays of light on the gray earth, and the golden glow fell straight from above, like a sharp sword tearing through the endless darkness, and slashed down from the air, and in an instant, all the shadows and darkness scattered under this power, and the holy grace seemed to tear apart the morning mist, and also tore the deep hidden haze in this city.
On the side, there are many people with different faces walking by, among them, there are young and cheerful students, there are also slow and leisurely old people, those early cleaners are holding huge brooms, laboriously cleaning the dust left over from yesterday, and office workers in a hurry are holding heavy briefcases. For their own survival and ideals, they are running around.
Once upon a time... Even the memory has been blurred for a long time, but Zhou You still remembers dimly that he seems to have been one of them, and like them, he repeats this monotonous and boring life day after day, and continues to do dull work year after year.
"It's something to be missed—then.... When did I suddenly become so nostalgic for the old days? Retracting his gaze from the scene in front of him, Zhou You, who had awakened from his memory, smiled bitterly, then pursed his lips and sighed secretly. It seems that after being reborn once, I have really become a coward..."
-- As long as you like to immerse yourself in memories, this kind of behavior is itself a manifestation of cowardice and ignorance.
I vaguely remember that in the long river of time, there was a man who once said this to himself.
Although the person's name, appearance, and voice have long been blurred in his memory, only these former words are still deeply engraved in his heart.
"Foolish?" Zhou You closed his eyes, as if he wanted to shake off all his troubles together, and exhaled a deep breath of turbidity. "It's stupid."
With a sigh, he spread out his perception outward like a great net—and in an instant, the tentacles of his mind began to spread outward, streets, pedestrians, vehicles, birds, insects, all in the same contact, swept through until he reached the extreme point that could be extended, and the whole will spread into a circle of about three hundred hundred.
This is the ability of space to compensate for him, a range-of-range murderous perception that can be called a domain-level.
"Still not?" Slowly opening his eyes, Zhou You retracted the large net that had escaped. "Oh, yes, no matter how it declines, but according to the map, this city is more or less more than 600 square kilometers - if you add the wilderness and forests outside, it will only be more, and now I am alone, without any clues and goals, I want to find only seven servants in this vast sea of people....."
Someone takes a deep breath and then ....
Suddenly he roared angrily.
"How could you find it! Who the am you! Megatron? Or is it the pervert of the red horned triple? "The sentimental mood disappeared in an instant, and after a night of hard work, I finally couldn't help but explode completely." We've been looking for it all night! I haven't even found a single chicken feather! Karena, you damn landlord! Shameful traitors to capitalism! Sleeping peacefully by myself makes me do this needle in a haystack? Revenge? Are you doing this naked revenge? Compared with you, Zhou Paopi can be said to have a conscience, and Huang Shiren can be called a model worker, bastard! ”
"Ahhhh No matter! Go home, go home! The Heroic Spirit, who had been tired all night, squeezed his temple with his hand and shouted angrily, when he saw that the map in his hand was thrown outward, he no longer paid attention to the task assigned by his master, and turned to leave.
But even with such an outrageous move just now, the hurried crowd around him still seemed to have no idea of his existence at all, and they always ignored him.
Of course, it's not that the people in this city are all blind and blind to the freaks in front of them, but that someone is exercising the fringe benefits of being a heroic spirit - transforming himself into a full spirit, so that he can save the cost of walking on earth and avoid the superfluous eyes and ears of mortals, so as not to have unnecessary entanglements.
"Hey, forget it, let's go back and catch up on sleep first.. Although staying up all night is not a problem for us, we can hold it physically and mentally, but the Heroic Spirit also has human rights, bastard, be careful if I report you to the union if I go on like this-"
Someone turned around and suddenly bumped into a thin shoulder.
"Ah, hug..."
But in the next second, the apology that had already surfaced to his lips was swallowed back by Zhou You.
