Chapter 4: The Marginalized People

"The first thing you have to know is that there is another side of this world, which is the side that normal people can't see. Ye Xi comfortably leaned on Ji Wutong's bed, drank a sip of water, and said: "Having said that, you should be able to see many things that ordinary people can't see, such as ......."

She glanced at Uncle Kang who was floating on the side, shrugged her shoulders helplessly, and by the way, a snow-white puppy was lying on her slender shoulder, rubbing the tip of her nose against her cheek from time to time.

Ji Wutong was sitting on the hard stool at this time, and nodded weakly: "Yes, you can see it, the dead people, the dancing flower pots, the dogs that can write English, etc., the last one I'm not sure if it's the kind you said, the one in front must not be normal." ”

Ye Xi shook his head and said with a smile: "It's normal, it's just that others can't see it, and for people like us with special talents, this is a normal world, a world of demons and monsters." ”

"Hmm... Demons and monsters......" Ji Wu's eyes echoed blankly.

"It's not a demon. Ye Xi Zhengse said: "It's demons, demons, ghosts, and monsters! Since a long time ago, the ancient marginal people in the East have picked them out and classified them, and the people in the West who do our business are called demon hunters, and they seem to have their own classification." ”

Ji Wutong knew that he couldn't escape this popular science, so he let go and asked, "What are the marginal people? Is it an illegal organization composed of a guy with superpowers like you?"

"You're really mean, I remember you were quite gentle just now. Ye Xi pursed her lips, folded her legs on the bed obliquely, and said a little angrily, in fact, this appearance is quite inconsistent with her small image, but it is still pleasing to the eye.

Ji Wutong spread his hands: "That's not the point, but are you sure you don't have a split personality?"

"If you try to provoke me again......" Ye Xi narrowed his eyes slightly: "I don't mind beating you into a split personality! I'm just a little bit of a change in my mentality when I use symbolic power." ”

"Are you or you?" asked Ji Wutong.

"Without a doubt, let's get down to business. Ye Xi touched the head of the little white dog on his shoulder, and said: "The marginal people were spontaneously condensed by humans with special talents at the beginning, and they have existed a long time ago, and I am not strictly speaking a formal marginal person, but in principle, there is not much difference, we walk on the edge of ordinary people and demons and monsters, wandering in the middle, covering up the truth, protecting ordinary people, eliminating threats, and making sacrifices when necessary." ”

Ji Wutong stretched out his thumb: "Well, it's great, but what does this have to do with me? I don't have any consciousness, and I'm not interested in saving the world and protecting peace, do you need to explain to me that you still stay at my house so much?"

"You were wrong about using the term 'superpowers'. Ye Xi said calmly, naturally ignoring Ji Wutong's words: "The power of marginal people is called symbolic power, which is much more complicated than the superpowers in those movies and novels, everyone's symbolic power is different, there will never be similarities, the use is all-encompassing from life to combat, my ability is more focused on combat, and it has a certain relationship with family genetics, you also have symbolic power, remember?"

"Didn't listen to what I just said at all...... Ji Wutong muttered through gritted teeth, but if he launched an armed uprising, he would definitely be ruthlessly suppressed, so he could only continue to continue the topic in a direction he was never willing to follow: "Is it?

"So far, your ability should be self-enhanced, but it can also be said to be armed, which I can't judge. Ye Xi said: "At least your first symbolic power is like this. ”

Ji Wutong's curiosity gradually rose, after all, this thing was just a young man in his twenties who hadn't forgotten how to dream, and then he asked, "Could it be that there can be a lot of symbolism?"

Ye Xi nodded and said: "That's right, everyone with symbolic power may comprehend other types of symbolic power, it may not be accurate to say that it is comprehension, according to some ancient records, our ability has existed since birth, just to see how much can be developed, theoretically speaking, the more types of symbolic power, the stronger it is, but there are also many people who only awaken one kind of symbolic power, but they have become the pinnacle of great things." ”

"What about you?" Ji Wutong asked, "How many kinds do you have?"

"Both. Ye Xi replied: "My first symbolic power is to summon and strengthen the type god, currently I can summon four kinds, you have seen them all, I won't go into details, the second type you have also seen, I can briefly fuse my own style god and borrow their abilities, such as ......"

Ye Xi's expression changed, and the puppy on her shoulder suddenly turned into a white light attached to her left hand, and after the white light dissipated, a silver-white metallic wrist blade appeared on her hand, with a small wolf head on it, and three claw thorns of about twenty centimeters extended out of the wolf's head, just looking at it made Ji Wutong feel a lot of pressure!

"Hey, woman, you can demonstrate, don't let me bleed or anything on a whim!" Ji Wutong rubbed his butt against the chair and moved back, and said.

Ye Xi smiled softly: "I originally wanted to cut through your clothes to scare you, but it's still so dangerous to think about it, and it still doesn't work, na, this is my second symbolic power, Xiaobai also has the power of long-range attacks, but that's not easy to demonstrate." ”

"If you look like you just now, you might have slashed at me. Ji Wutong rolled her eyes, sat down beside Ye Xi, and complained, the girl had already adjusted her posture very ladylike just now, and sat obediently at the head of the bed.

Ye Xi blinked: "Because I think it will be more convenient to communicate with you just now, and I won't be taken away from the rhythm, I'm usually a little stupid, my family always says that." ”

In the end, her voice lowered in frustration again, and she took the lead in running away from the question.

"Alas, what, I don't bully you, let's just chat like this, okay?" Ji Wutong discussed.

Ye Xi smiled and said: "Okay, okay, summoning Xiaobai and they will be very tired after a long time, usually I rarely use symbolism." ”

Ji Wutong nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, very good, girl, you must know that the combination of attack and acceptance is an evil way, and I think it should be your goal to become the total recipient!

"I don't understand. Ye Xi replied confusedly, and asked with bright eyes: "Are the legendary unsaved dead houses like you?"

Ji Wutong scratched his cheeks, moved in the direction of the end of the bed, and said with a sneer: "I think I can still save it, so what, you can continue." ”

"Oh. Ye Xi nodded, and suddenly hit the palm of his other hand with a small fist, and said, "That's right! That mask of yours hasn't disappeared, I haven't seen a symbolic creation that can always exist, so don't wear it casually in the future." ”

Ji Wutong was curious: "Why, I see that you play with a sickle and a dog, can't I usually wear that mask? ”

With that, he looked at the mask on the cupboard, which was completely indistinguishable from the most ordinary and rudimentary plaster work, with nothing but two holes in the eyes.

Ye Xi tilted his head and thought about it......

[I can't say that the god is an adult, right?,But I don't know why I didn't let him use his symbolism more.,It stands to reason that you should practice diligently when you just comprehend it.,Woo...... At that time, I was forced to practice for a long time by my hated father, and my hated father had a bad temper and a bad personality! What's so great about the head of the family, I still talked to the god ...... adult]

Obviously, Ye Xixiao's thinking began to run wild......

"Hey......" Ji Wutong patted Ye Xi's head helplessly, startling the little girl, he said with a humble eye: "I didn't mean to, it's just that you've been in a daze for two minutes, why can't I try that mask more?" ”

"Ahh

"Oh...... It turned out that he was going to die!hahahaha. ”

"Uh-huh, that's it!hahahaha!"

"Hey!!!" Ji Wutong immediately said: "What does it mean to die!!!You explain it to me clearly, dead girl!!"

Ye Xi immediately covered his head: "I'm sorry!"

"Alas......" Ji Wutong sighed like a force: "Unfortunately." ”

Seeing this, Ye Xi comforted her: "It's okay, as long as you don't wear it often, it won't be too easy to die." ”

This girl is probably a bit dead-eyed...... If you catch a reason, you're going to use it to the end.

"I see, I don't wear it often, the theme has run a long way. Ji Wutong stretched his waist and said, "Go on, the things about people on the margins and demons have already heard this level, so tell me everything." ”

The corners of Ji Wutong's mouth curled slightly, he is not stupid, and the little girl in front of him is not the type who can talk nonsense without an expression, he doesn't believe it if he often wears a mask and dies, but he knows that Ye Xi has no ill will towards him, so he is also very considerate to bring this topic over, as for whether it will be used less or fake in the future, it depends on the situation.

Ye Xi let out a sigh of relief, holding warm water in both hands and taking a sip: "Well, let's go on, let's start with the marginal people, you know, we are a group of people with symbolic power, after a long period of inheritance, it has now become systematic, first of all, each marginal person will have their own nickname, which is equivalent to their second name, although we are not ordinary people, but many marginal people's relatives, friends, lovers and children are ordinary people, in order to prevent accidents, we will normally use nicknames to refer to ourselves." ”

"So, in your world, nicknames are a status symbol compared to your own name?" asked Ji Wutong.

Ye Xi nodded: "Yes, but there are also some very famous people, whether it is a nickname or a name, everyone is familiar with it, and even in the powerful existence of demons and monsters, everyone knows it." ”

"For example......" Ji Wutong narrowed his eyes slightly: "The god who saved us just now, is that god?"

"Hmm. Ye Xi nodded happily: "It's such an honor to be able to talk to Lord Shensuan, who rarely appears in front of low-level marginal people, my father has never seen Lord Shensuan a few times." ”

Ji Wutong pursed his lips: "Cut, it's just a frivolous young man, he doesn't look much older than the two of us, and he's quite famous." ”

"No~" Ye Xi said with a smile: "Legend has it that Du Tian is at least two hundred years old, and there are few people in the entire marginal world who are more qualified than himself." ”

Ji Wutong is a little blindsided......

"Don't judge a person's real age and identity by their appearance, maybe you don't even know if the other person is really human. Ye Xi said solemnly: "This sentence is very famous in the industry. ”

Ji Wutong nodded, and then asked: "Actually, I'm more interested in your nickname now, you don't have this kind of rule that you can't tell ordinary people, right?"

"Soul Controller. ”

"Huh?" Ji Wutong blinked.

"Soul Controller. Ye Xi Chong Ji Wutong showed a smile with a high sugar content: "Soul Controller Ye Xi." ”

"Ah, oh......" Ji Wutong, who didn't expect the other party to be so happy, was a little stunned for a while: "It's very good, well, the spirit controller." ”

"Just call me Ye Xi~" The girl said with a smile: "People other than marginal people, if you want to know the other party's nickname, it must be a relationship between relatives or lovers." ”

"Okay, Ye Xi. Ji Wutong said subconsciously, and then the whole person froze: "What???!??"

Ye Xi sneered and laughed: "It's not a very important thing to tease you, but I hope you will join the marginal people." ”

It can be seen that if you get acquainted with each other a little, this girl is still quite cheerful, and after chatting for a long time, the previous shyness and restraint have slowly subsided.

Ji Wutong suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, of course, there may be a little loss......

"Why?" he didn't reject everything he had thought before, and even said that the other party could erase his memories of today, but asked lightly: "I can see that you really want me to join, otherwise you wouldn't have told me so much, but I need a clear reason, I'm not a person with a strong sense of justice, and I have no interest in saving the world, you should be able to see it." ”

Ye Xi nodded, and said with a straight face: "We need more partners, this world is under the threat of abnormal things all the time, do you know what demons and monsters are?"

Ji Wutong shook his head: "You haven't told me yet." ”

"The so-called demon is the thing that we often come into contact with in our daily life or is within the scope of cognition, and it will become a spirit with aura and consciousness, the so-called goblin is like this, animals, plants, toys, household appliances, even houses, keys, can become demons, if Sun Wukong really exists, then it should belong to the monkey demon, Toy Story is the kind of thing that is played in the movie, there are thinking and talking toys or something, it is also real, understand?" Ye Xi explained carefully.

"In that case, the second senior brother is the pig demon, what is the sand junior brother?" Ji Wutong asked with a blank eye.

"I'm just giving an example!" Ye Xi waved his little hand vigorously: "Give an example!!"

"Just kidding. Ji Wutong also smiled and said, "You continue." ”

Ye Xi held his small chin with both hands: "What about the demon, it is the kind of powerful creature we just met, existing in another space or parallel world, usually very violent and bloodthirsty, and likes to kill, but the more powerful the demon, the more difficult it is to come to our world, this is a bit complicated, I will tell you slowly when I have time in the future." ”

Ji Wutong nodded.

"Ghosts, just like this uncle, he was obsessed with it before he died, or he died too unjustly and tragically, the former may become a spirit bound by the earth, and the latter will become a resentful spirit and harm people, and there are many ghosts who are very powerful people in life, and they will not be mediocre after death, in fact, the other world after death is real, and there are some ghosts who go to the world over there first, and then come back. Ye Xi said seriously, and then hugged his shoulders with both hands and lowered his voice: "Actually, I'm most afraid of ghosts......

"I can guess if you don't say it. Ji Wutong laughed dryly: "So, what is the last blame?"

"Legendary beings become reality, such as dragons, gluttonies, such as golden-winged roc, mermaids and the like, or some so-called humans with mutated bloodlines, such as vampires and werewolves, are just weird, the former is scarce in number and difficult for ordinary people to find, while the latter are mostly integrated into human society. Ye Xi replied.

"They all like to do harm? Ji Wutong said curiously.

Ye Xi shook his head lightly: "Of course not, in fact, there are many demons and monsters who are also very docile, such as this uncle." ”

She pointed to Uncle Kang, who smiled and walked across the wall to the next door.

But even if it is harmless or even kind, it can still inadvertently bring great chaos to society and the world, especially in this materialistic world. Ye Xi said helplessly: "It is not easy to let this world run stably and let everyone live a normal life." ”

"That's why there are marginal people?"

"That's why there are marginal people!"

Ji Wutong sighed: "That's your reason? The world needs more marginalized people? ”

"It's more than that. Ye Xi said a little apologetically: "But I can only tell you so much, I'm sorry, I don't want to lie, but I really can't say it, and I don't know very well." ”

"Not only is it not all the reasons, but there are also some things that can't be said?" Ye Wutong asked as he stared at the girl's eyes with burning eyes.

"Yes...... Yes......" Ye Xi lowered his head and said in a low voice.

Then she heard......

"My name is Ji Wutong. ”

"Hey?" Ye Xi raised her head suddenly, looking at the other party in disbelief, she was actually ready to complete the task just now.

"The season of the season, the sycamore of the sycamore tree, a rare and featureless name. Ji Wutong grabbed a piece of paper and wrote while laughing, "Na." ”

"Hmm......" Ye Xi took the note, on which were written the words Ji Wutong.

"What do you want?" Ji Wutong said with a smile: "I'm very lazy, I don't like exams or anything at all, this signature should be a vote, okay? ”

"It's a beautiful word~" Ye Xi smiled sweetly, and emphasized again: "It's very good-looking." ”

"Thank you. Ji Wutong also smiled.

Ye Xi paused, and suddenly asked softly, "Why do you want to agree?"

"You should really want me to agree, right?" Ji Wutong shrugged.

Ye Xi was stunned: "Just because of this?"

"How could it be. Ji Wutong smiled: "I just asked you, you should really want me to agree, why do I have to ask like this after I agree?"

Ye Xi hesitated: "Because you don't look like you're going to ......"

"Doesn't it look like the type who would agree to join the marginalized people and save the world?" Ji Wutong interrupted.

Ye Xi nodded.

"Because, ah......" Ji Wutong suddenly stood up, opening his hands as if he wanted to hug something: "Even if you have been an adult for a long time, even if you have passed the age of thirteen years old to save the world, as a man, ......"

He turned around and smiled at Ye Xi: "I will never graduate from the second year of secondary school!"

"Inconsistencies idiot ......"

The girl muttered, then looked up.

"Then, Ji Wutong, a new trainee marginal person, I will be your guide in the future! ”

The strange maiden smiled sweetly, and she thought his reasons were funny.

"Please advise!"

The withdrawn big boy also smiled, in fact, he didn't know why he agreed.

From this moment on, from this small apartment, please advise, the fate of many people has changed, many irrelevant people have been connected, and the world has since had many laughs, many tears, many sadness, and many encounters and partings......

After a long, long time, the thickest memorabilia of marginalized people, the title page:

On this day, the soul controller Ye Xi and the smiling Ji Wutong met for the first time, because of a small accident, because of Du Tian's expectation for the future, because of a divination ......

Now we always wonder what would have happened if the two of them hadn't met.

What will become of our world?

Nobody knows......

Now we can only turn the page of history that is destined to not be recorded with a curious, a happy, and a rational attitude, and savor the world that has become more wonderful because of them in those years.
