042We have no conflict of interest

After entering the room, Tsukasa Kurihara's five senses disappeared and fell into endless darkness.

There are no more concepts of up, down, left, and right, so vague that you can only feel yourself, and the boundaries of the world are incomprehensible as the concepts disappear.

It's like the chaos of the early days, where everything is indistinguishable.

And this is the original image of the strange space, which is no longer attached to the scene in reality, and presents its own appearance.

In this strange space, Tsukasa Kurihara's perception of himself is infinitely magnified, the pores of his body expand, and he feels the emotions of the owner of the space.

The darkness in the secular sense turned black and white in the calm eyes of Tsukasa Kurihara, constituting the face of the space. As you see clearly, weightlessness and weakness disappear.

Tsukasa Kurihara saw a lump of ash that was clearly different from the surroundings, half a head taller than him, and his body was undulating in a flowing shape.

Tsukasa Kurihara could feel it looking at him, and he looked up at it.

There was a long silence.

Strange talk said: "What the hell do you want to do, executor." ”

Tsukasa Kurihara raised an eyebrow, thinking about what it meant. Obviously, he had already said his purpose accurately in the previous encounter, but the other party still asked such a thing to show that it didn't think this was Kurihara's real intention.

What is it afraid of? Has the other party confirmed his identity as a kind of weird talker? What is its intention?

Tsukasa Kurihara thought about all kinds of questions in his head, and replied, "As long as you let Anda Natsumi go, I don't care about the rest." ”

Quiet again.

Tsukasa Kurihara saw that the gray flow on Strange Tales slowed down, and he seemed to be thinking. Tsukasa Kurihara almost immediately understood that the gray flow on its body was in some sense indicative of its emotions - although there were no facial expressions to refer to, there was always a way to feel something.

Eventually, the strange talk said, "How can I trust you." ”

"How can I get in your way?" Tsukasa Kurihara asked rhetorically.

Strange Tales didn't expect Tsukasa Kurihara to be able to point out what it was worried about, and the flow of his body stagnated, wondering what this executor was trying to do.

Although Tsukasa Kurihara showed signs that he also had some strange characteristics, it did not believe that Tsukasa Kurihara was of the same kind.

From the moment they became executors, although both of them had the essence of being weird, the other party no longer relied on the "story" to survive.

It's more like Shikigami and belongs to the human faction.

In the space of pure weirdness, in the face of the executor, it does not possess the hysteria and madness of Kanai, and shows the sanity and calmness that intelligent beings should have.

None of the strange stories that have survived until now rely on simplicity. As the opposite of humanity, the restricted weirdness needs to be more cunning. The madness that possessed Kanai was meant to be seen by others. And just facing Tsukasa Kurihara, it doesn't need to disguise.

Tsukasa Kurihara saw this and said, "In order to sustain life, you have to keep it mysterious in front of humans, and it makes them fearful. Human fear, as well as other negative emotions, are necessary for the survival of weird talk. That's why you seem unable to communicate. In fact, strange talk also wants to make peace, doesn't it? ”

Speaking of which, Tsukasa Kurihara remembered the furball, and despite the strange identity, it was just a guy who wanted to live.

"Yes." "But after peaceful coexistence with humans, you can't get their negative emotions." They only take advantage of us, use our weaknesses to force us to intimidate others, and do not treat us as equals at all. But they can't destroy us, so they build a prison to imprison us forever. ”

The ash on the strange talk fluctuated violently, and the space began to fluctuate: "Even let you, as a strange talker, take the Mo knife and become the executor." You know that very well, don't you? ”

Tsukasa Kurihara's silence seemed acquiescing to the strange talk, and it knew it had made the right bet - not all executors were uncomplaining.

If you think about it, the one you met may be an undercover agent hiding in the human faction, or an executor who is ready to fight back.

On the Kurihara side, the strange talk revealed more information.

Executor, this is the second time Tsukasa Kurihara has heard the title from its mouth. And it called out the name of Modao.

Mo Dao, the executor.

Tsukasa Kurihara remembered the Kishijiro he had seen earlier.

Speaking of which, although Kishijiro is a strange talk, he is obviously different from other strange stories. Living alone in the shrine - the shrine dedicated to Tsukasa Kurihara.

Kishijiro is jealous of most of the strange talk in the village.

Because of Mo Dao.

So····· Kishijiro is the executor of the village, that is, the prison guard.

The executor, the prison guard, the prison, the human faction, the exploitation, the lackey, the survival, the freedom, the essence of the strange story, the circulation, the two sides of the coin, escape.

After making such associations, Tsukasa Kurihara found the thread in the mess, and a story line was gradually unfolding in front of Tsukasa Kurihara's eyes.

To put it simply, strange talk is something made up of negative human emotions, and after enough emotions have accumulated, strange talk will be generated. Weird stories can't exist on their own, they need to be passed on through stories. The more terrifying and bizarre the story, the more widespread the story, and the strange stories generated can also exist for a long time.

Humans also take advantage of weird stories, the fact that they need emotions and stories, to do something that benefits them.

I don't know how long this lasted.

At a certain moment, mankind chooses to build a prison to imprison the strange tales, and the strange tales cannot manifest, and those unthinkable stories gradually disappear.

The imprisoned weird tale longs for freedom, for a return to reality, for a world where there are human beings.

But humans have made some of them executors, and giving them Modao—a Modao that can deal with strange tales—has become a guarantee to prevent strange tales from escaping. Hide the entrance again.

Many strange stories have been trapped in that prison for nearly a hundred years, hanging for their lives in one breath, and worrying about when they will disappear completely.

Everyone has emotions.

Even Tsukasa Kurihara. After straightening things out, he unconsciously became tyrannical, and his hatred for humanity almost condensed into substance.

Why?

Why is the weird talk inferior?

I'm going to create a world of weirdness and nobility.

This was the remnant of the mind of the one in Tsukasa Kurihara's body, and he was very sure of it. The other party's obsession with creating a new world almost overwhelmed him. His soul was squeezed into a cramped corner.

"it!" Tsukasa Kurihara yelled in Chinese, "This is my body!" ”

After roaring, the obsession subsided abruptly, and Tsukasa Kurihara felt a little prostration, clutching his heart and gasping.

Strange Tales looked at him, not knowing what was going on.

At this moment, Tsukasa Kurihara figured out the other party's intentions, and also understood something, and raised his head: "You want to use this incident to expand the influence of the strange talk, and you want to put the fact of the existence of the strange talk back in front of the public." ”

I didn't answer the strange talk that was said.

Tsukasa Kurihara nodded: "I see. ”

"From this point of view, our interests do not conflict." Tsukasa Kurihara said, "You want the fear of humanity, and I want Anda Natsumi to return to the way he was before." I'm just in charge of Anda Shashi, and the others are not on my radar. As long as you can keep her safe. ”

Tsukasa Kurihara smiled: "Even I can help you." ”

One point needs to be emphasized.

Tsukasa Kurihara - also a strange story.
