As long as you reach out and touch the shoulders of others, you can steal time, prolong your life, and make yourself more youthful and energetic. All along, the sleeping god Ji Ji didn't think it was a sin. The pursuit of "eternity" is a common trait of human beings, and it seems that in the eyes of any realistic person, it is a madman to reach those elusive eternities because of the transience of their own life cycle.

Ji Zhu is not a madman, at least he doesn't think so. He didn't want "eternity" all his life, at least not for a long time. What caused everything to change for him was from the kingdom of God far away, that winterless night.

Everything that happened that night was what led him to join the Wings of Judgment Pantheon. By his own admission, he has been a man who cherishes his time to the point of no return...... Although, he always substitutes sleep for action.

※※Revisiting the past※※

"It's an endless sea, and you can feel the cool sea breeze that blows in your face, and the tassels of the wind gently glide over your skin, taking away your troubles, your sorrows, your unhappiness......

You are standing on the glaive sand, as if held by the crescent, and you can feel the sand rubbing against the soles of your feet; The waves sweep and the sea overflows your feet, it is the countless stresses of life, but the tide always goes out, it goes out...... The sand is swallowed up by the tide under your feet, and what is swallowed up and carried away is the distress and helplessness that remains in the heart of your feet, and it is joy and relaxation......

"I lay on this beach, night came, and the aurora kept changing colors in the sky, complementing the eternal Milky Way in the sky; Starry, can I cross the Milky Way to meet you? Counting the "heavenly flowers" you told me, I gradually fell asleep......

Although it is here every day, I don't get tired of it, because every day, you can take me to find something new, every time you come...... I really feel your warmth as if I had discovered a new world, although it is only unreal, only for a moment. You conjure a pearl that hangs on a coconut tree, and I long for it like a child, but you turn the world into a cherry blossom forest at the last moment, and I understand that you are the creator of this world and the colonizer of my spiritual realm......

However, I am willing to be your ......

"Alright, that's all for today's play; You're tired of staying in it for so long...... Now, you find that the coconut tree is full of coconuts, and you climb up and pluck one...... You use a knife to cut open the coconut, the coconut is tender and juicy, and the coconut flesh is crystal clear...... After you finish eating, you find that you are full of energy at the moment. ”

A man in casual clothes, lazily lying in an office chair, is using his magnetic, delicate and crisp voice to give the most lush hypnotic command, ending the hypnosis.

The long-haired girl lying on the white couch slowly opened her eyes, stretched out very comfortably, and said, "Every time I 'wake up', I feel that reality is very beautiful!" Cherish every day! ”

"No, the reality is cruel." The man criticized mercilessly, "Don't think that this is the world in the 'morning drama'. ”

The girl seemed to be a little dissatisfied with what the man said, and frowned: "Why are you different from other hypnotists!?" Even if you're selling yourself, you don't have to instill an unsolvable reality in the 'woke people' so quickly...... Also, the 'morning drama' that dares to bring so much hope and confidence to everyone, aren't you afraid of being checked on the water meter? ”

The man picked up an electric razor and began to shave, but from the girl's point of view, his face was smooth.

"You don't understand it yet."

When the girl heard this, she immediately gave him a hygienic look, and then pouted and said coquettishly: "Brother Ji Zhuan, can't you take a little longer, anyway, the little girl is also your old customer...... Also, don't wake up like this every time you wake up, and put on a look like 'you owe me tens of millions of yen' and that kind of look! ”

Ji Zhu scratched his head and said helplessly: "Rin, I remember that I just said last month that hypnosis is not based on the length of time, but on the effect, besides, you have relaxed so many times, what pressure can you have?" Come on! You're a top student at the University of Tokyo, so you won't be worse than me when you come out in the future......"

Rin grinned, making a gesture of "opening his teeth and dancing his claws", and feigned anger: "Don't use the 'Dongda' high-level students to press me!" Oh! I feel dizzy again......"

"It's okay!" Ji stake jumped out of the "chair nest".

Rin covered his forehead with both hands, and Ji Zhu hurriedly stepped forward to ask; Rin didn't look over, the corners of her mouth were like a crescent moon, bending in a nice arc.

Dozens of minutes later, they arrived at the street park.

"It's been almost two months, and I'm still very strange, when I first did the hypnosis sensitivity test, you were quite unqualified, and the words that popped out of your mouth, I knew that Lu Dao was a pure materialist, and his imagination was not rich enough, and the EQ was even worse, but why are you so 'sensitive' now? Simple initial hypnosis will allow you to reach the state of deep hypnosis in the average person...... Hehe, if I hypnotize you deeply, won't you ......" Ji Zhu sat at one end of the park bench, leaning on the armrest, and asked the woman on the other end with a smile.

Rin's eyes widened, and a "curious baby" was born: "Wow! There is even a further hypnosis, you didn't even say it until now! ”

She didn't know whether to be angry or coquettish, and now she was 'angry' like a lazy cat that had been woken up, pouting in protest, but after a while, little stars seemed to flash in her eyes: "I also want to know what happened to me." What do you think? Why don't you give it a try? But...... Don't charge too much. ”

She couldn't help but think that the man in front of her was a 'flower maniac', playing with exotic flowers and plants all day long when he was not doing anything, and would find time to go to the flower market every day...... His consumption level and service fee are clearly marked - "this thing should only be in heaven".

However, he is indeed one of the best hypnotists in Tokyo, and is said to have come from Hong Kong, but he started out in Hokkaido......

Since it comes to the man in front of you, the story has to start two months ago.

※※2 months ago※※

"Camellia...... Camellia Private Psychological Counseling Expert and Hypnotist ......"

Belch...... How do you feel like 'weird squirrel'!?

I shudder at the thought of the Silence of the Lambs I saw the other day.

Choosing this kind of name doesn't attract customers and doesn't give people a sense of security, can't it be a pervert!? However, since it is recommended by a doctor, then ...... I'll just give it a try, time, waits for no one......

Ding dong!

Ding-dong-ding-dong!

After a long time, I heard the sound of twisting the key...... Sky! He also plays "behind closed doors" in business! In broad daylight, he wasn't inside...... No way! I'm going to get the anti-wolf spray ready.

The door creaked open.

I never imagined that he and the image portrayed in my mind would be so, so inconsistent!

It's too far from the uncle!

Well, he looks like a handsome guy, but I can't tell where he is handsome, I should say, just look at one place, then every place is very ordinary, the kind that the crowd can't see. However, once "grasped as a whole", then he gives people a special charm.

Well, I'll admit I was choked by him.

But who am I!?

I am a recent graduate of the Department of Atomic Energy at the University of Tokyo, and I am the only female student in the department! The big beauty Rin Kitagawa is also!

Hmph, even if you have a good face, but the handsome guy's behavior is not good these years, I'm still prepared first.

I don't know how long I was on the fence until he asked impatiently, "Who are you?" If you come for counseling, what are you doing with this kind of thing? He gestured to the spray I was holding in my palm.

I coughed awkwardly and tried my best to hide, "I like to smell pepper......"

All right...... I'll admit I don't really have any talent for languages, and if I were given a bunch of uranium and tritium, I could have shut everyone up here; Hey, I was the only one who could talk!

What a genius I'm a genius!

He shrugged his shoulders and said he didn't care, he invited me in, and I somehow followed him into the back room hand and foot, and I remember feeling like a puppy following his master home......

Oh! My God! What was I thinking!

Phew! I don't believe in God at all...... To be precise, I didn't believe it since I was a child.

He sat me down, and I carefully observed the layout of the house. Then, the first feeling was - Lan. Right! It's blue, the walls, the chaise longues, the curtains...... It's all very pure orchid, and it has the feeling of wandering in the wonderful sea.

The second impression is flowers. It's not that he is fancy, but in fact, there are many flowers in the four corners of the house, many of which I can't name.

What attracted me the most was the pot of fake "camellia" near the deck chair.

Well, this season is no camellia blooming.

If he really loves camellias, what must be in the house must be very important to him......

It goes well with his name!

"Mr. Himezhu, can you tell me if you love your name because it is another name for camellia?"

I asked thoughtlessly.

He's even more stupid than I thought!

"No......

He also scratched his head.

Well, I admit again, at that moment, I felt that I had made a mistake here, that this idiot should be very bad at psychological research, impostor!

But fate is always around the corner, playing a joke on you.

Once again, I was played by fate......

"You don't have to deliberately cooperate with me, you don't have to 'try' to relax, just close your eyes and follow my words......" he gave me a hypnotic sensitivity test, "focus on your left arm and lock all your qi on your left arm......"

Hehe, he said the word "gas machine", and I would laugh heartily. Because, this is only used by warriors, and ......

"Leave it alone, let it rise slowly and spontaneously and ......"

Hey!?

I have to agree that his voice is magnetic, but - there can't be magic that makes me unable to control my arms......

Although I didn't open my eyes, I did feel my left arm uncontrollably raised naturally, and it took a circle and a half before stopping.

It's simply magical!

He also seemed relieved.

"Let's move on to the second phase of testing......" he said to me with a smile, and although I still closed my eyes, I could feel that he must have a relieved smile on his lips at the moment.

The second stage is testing my imagination. Although "big brains" are not suitable for a genius like me, I have to lose out on "imagination". I really lack fantasies.

Am I really that realistic?

I just think that miracles don't exist in reality, because it's because they don't happen, that's why they are called miracles......

"I have to look forward to the miracle of the last! I hope the reality isn't too cruel. ”

Alas!?

I opened my eyes in surprise.

Look at each other.

I couldn't help but blush because ...... Because his gaze is too sharp, as if it ignites a spark of wisdom, and it is more like the explosion of a supernova in the universe!

"Alas, if a supernova explodes, it will be calculated in general diameter...... Then the energy released is ...... In this way, tritium will be used most effectively...... "I can't help but mutter.

Syllable!

It's like killing a fly—the one lying on the face......

When I raised my eyes, what I saw was a "debt-collecting" face.

"Don't bully me, a young man of literature and art......" he "blushed" with a "blue face".

I stuck out my tongue, which I often do, and I used to use this action to please the teacher when I made low-level mistakes. Now, too, I wanted to please the "master", so I "wagged my tail".

"I'm sorry Mr. Himeji, but I can't stop thinking about what I'm good at...... Sorry! I bowed deeply to him as an apology.

He made a "Chinese-style" compliment and turned sideways to avoid it.

"You want me to die!?"

He asked me to sleep in that chaise longue and my hands tightened.

He didn't do anything offside, just muttered to the sidelines, and then, gave me "instructions".

Instead of an ordinary command, this time it begins with - "You are now in the very core of the universe, yes, this is the opening point of the Big Bang, the junction of various dimensions......"

This time it was my area of expertise, and I instantly entered my imagination.

"From the vast sea of stars to the edge of the Milky Way, from the center of the solar system to the beautiful earth...... Aegean island arc, sunny beach trees, shell fruit pearls, woman in the distance.'

Woman? Curious, I walked over to see who was in my mind.

She turned slowly, she didn't look back, so she didn't see her face clearly, she just turned around, and then ran into the depths of the forest.

I didn't chase after it, and there was a faint sense of sluggishness that made me not want to chase after it.

I chose to lie on the beach, wait for the night, and count the stars......

He's a genius! Gradually, I fell in love with his miraculous hypnosis and I started coming every week, and every day for weeks......

Fund?!

In the past, I only needed to pay for my research, but now I have to write several academic reports every night to earn manuscript fees.

It's not a luxury, I know it best......

Time waits for no one, I have to grasp it myself--that year.

※※Kaixin Park※※

Hearing Rin's desire to feel the deepest hypnosis, Ji Zhu stared at her for a long time......

"What's wrong!? Do I have flowers on my face? Kitagawa Rin covered her cheeks and looked strangely at Ji Zhuan's abnormal reaction.

"No way!" Ji Zhu finally spoke.

"For what!?" Rin felt that there should be no reason to refuse her.

"You don't understand...... More on that later. He coldly put the words down and walked straight into the crowd.

[Always later...... Some people ...... Not necessarily...... Later, ......] Rin looked at his back, unable to say this sentence for a long time.

The next day, Rin "visits" Himejo again.

The door was unlocked, and Ji Zhu sat in the room, with a pot of magnolia in front of him, and was caressing the petals with his hand at the moment; And his eyes kept looking out the window, as if he had something on his mind.

Rin crept closer and came behind him......

"Huh-" Rin leaned close to his ear and blew into the base of his ear.

Itchy-Ji Zhu shivered with excitement......

"Hahaha!" Rin laughed. On the other hand, Ji Zhu got up and put the flowers back on the balcony; Then the curtains were closed and the chandelier was turned on.

"Hey, no...... Are you angry? Rin asked mischievously with her hands behind her back, of course, she didn't think Himejo would be angry.

Sure enough, I saw the corners of Ji Zhu's mouth rising slightly, and he paced in front of Rin, as if taking care of his sister, and touched Rin's head with his hand, "Alas, it's so pitiful." ”

"Huh?" Rin hadn't reacted yet.

"I'm 'dead' from learning, and my brain is gone......" Ji Zhu looked "regretful".

"Talent...... That's not the case! She was "hesitant" and curled her curly hair with her hand very "weirdly", "People are Dongda...... The atmosphere of Dongda is still very relaxed......" She suddenly shook her head and waved her hand again, "Ah, no, no! I mean...... Yes, yes, yes......" She seemed to want to say but couldn't, and stamped her foot in a hurry; "Ahhh Whew—" Rin gasped as if she had been saved from drowning.

Rin touched her hot face and said, "Actually, I don't just know physics, I've read a lot of books, and I've also been obsessed with novels, comics, and the like...... So, so please don't say I'm ...... anymore"

"Hi. Great, no problem! So then, it's hypnosis time, my Show—time, right? Ji Zhu took out a remote control, and as his fingers kept pressing, the color of the wallpaper was also changing.

"What color do you like?" Ji Zhu asked.

Rin was "shocked", and he shook his head for a moment and said it was purple.

Purple......

[Purple, this is the dress she wore that day, the color of the neckline ......]

※※

It was a winter night, and I was running as hard as I could, for the one who stood on Tokyo Tower, staring at her muttering in the distance. The snow kept falling, and the streets became less and less crowded...... I finally boarded the elevator at the tower. As the elevator went up, my heart hung in the air.

"If you stand too high, you won't be able to see clearly—this world is romantic, and I can make it even more exciting! Because I am the master of dreams, I can help you make any wish come true in your dreams! ”

"This world is so unreal...... Everything is brewing in deception. If I were in it, I wouldn't be able to notice it, but now, Ji Zhuan, tell me, why do I look down on the scenery at this height, but what I feel is close? "She lost the ability to tell the truth from the fake, and I was to blame for that.

It was my fault that I led her into the "forbidden realm of the gods...... I shouldn't have taken her down, the world below is too exciting, much more exciting than reality. Perhaps, the reason why I was chosen to enter the Nether Realm was because I was to blame. But at the time, I was hoping that she would come back.

She stood in the wind and snow, on the edge of the "cliff". I walked up behind her gently, not daring to stir up a wave of wind, and even begging myself not to touch the snowflakes.

She is like a porcelain vase, and my actions are like a hammer, and I know that the only thing that can save her is words, and only to continue to deceive......

"This world is very romantic, the reality is really beautiful, the beauty is that I met you, I saved you, and now - I want to save you again, believe me, believe me Ji Zhu, I have the ability to bring you a better, flowery world!" The more I talked, the more I couldn't help myself, and I even yelled out at the end. This, contrary to my original intention, but fortunately-

She turned around and gave me a big smile, as if to tell me: everything, it doesn't matter......

※※

Never mind...... Ji pile, is this how you feel......

It's a delusion, right? Although, you don't keep reminiscing; I can still guess.

You failed this time in hypnosis......

I was taken by you to a snow-covered, lifeless city.

In fact, it is not that there are no traces of life, but that it is a place of ashes. Between heaven and earth, there were only the tall purple iron towers, and the gray buildings, and the white snow.

I walked cautiously down this terrible silent street. It's not a stroll, but a clear goal, the only colored zone - Tokyo Tower.

I counted the elevator floors, and the moment I got here, everything was out of my control. I feel like I'm a trick at the moment, at the mercy of the plot...... The keys are invalid.

When I got to the top floor, it was cold to the bone – that was my first feeling. I thought that there would be nothing and the hypnosis would end as soon as possible, although this time I didn't relax properly.

However, there has long been a "tourist" here - a woman standing in the wind and snow, staring into the distance.

It's the woman who often appears in the hypnosis content of Ji Zhu, I can't see her face clearly, but I know that she must be very important to him.

Maybe the delicacy of a girl is rarely reflected in me, but after all, I am still a girl...... So I know who he is paying attention to.

The entire tower was purple, but the purple on the woman's neckline was far superior to all else.

This is the most realistic picture rendered in the most vivid colors in this dream, in my words, a high-dimensional product in the lower dimension, overclocked on the low-resolution display to display a high-quality picture.

The impression of that moment must be fresh in his memory and unforgettable.

He came up...... A lot of their conversations I don't understand.

"Elementary school", "camellia", "time" and the like are often mentioned.

And then—the moment the woman turned around, I saw ......

Didn't see anything, actually.

The world has returned to chaos, and I am back in a half-dream.

Maybe it was a failure this time, but the technique was still clever, and I actually fell into his memory space, which ...... Is it voyeurism?

After thinking about it for a while, I decided to tell him about my voyeurism.

※※

"How does it feel?" For the first time, Ji Zhu sat upright on the office chair.

Rin was shocked and praised for his "good performance" in the hope that he would continue to do so.

"Ji pile......" Rin stopped talking.

Ji Zhu looked at her suspiciously.

"Nothing! Uh, I'm leaving, I didn't bring any cash today, I'll get out of the room and hit your card. See you soon! Rin picked up his bag and "fled".

[What a gaffe! I didn't say anything......]

In a certain bus, Rin clutched the handle tightly, blaming herself deeply.

[I must say it tomorrow.] Well! 】

After Rin left, Ji Zhu put the pot of magnolia on the table again, playing with its petals. However, it seemed that he had been doing manual labor for a long time, and Ji Zhu fell asleep on the table after the last moment.

On this day, under the noble purple sky, the past of the two people is closely entangled, and the deep bond has been reconnected......

But why "again"?
