Chapter Seventy-Four: Indifference

Previous Chapter

"Is this a dormitory on the first floor? It turns out that it looks like this~"

The gray-haired woman was like returning to her own home, wandering around Lu Yun's room to observe, not treating herself as an outsider at all.

Lu Yun noticed that the woman was not wearing a uniform, but was wearing a black suit that was completely opposite to her hair color, and she also wore a pair of black leather gloves, covering the whole body except for the head.

"Who are you? What do you want me to do? ”

Lu Yun still remembers the "taste" of this woman, her character is extremely casual, and any attempt to guess what is going on in her mind will be in vain.

Therefore, Lu Yun chose to ask directly.

"Oh? Didn't I tell you my name? ”

The woman turned to face Lu Yun, her long gray hair flying slightly along with the rotation, like broken snow.

She laughed, her light blue eyes glowing, and she looked at Lu Yun:

"Ai Xue, my name is Ai Xue."

"Ai Xue?"

Lu Yun repeated her name, and she smiled and nodded.

"Is there anything you have to do with me?"

Tomorrow is going to the suburbs again, Lu Yun hopes to be able to rest as soon as possible.

"Something, of course."

Ai Xue stroked the head screen of the training assistant, looking at her appearance, even if there was something, it would not be urgent, and Lu Yun had the desire to issue an eviction order.

"Don't you want to know how you're doing now?"

What Lu Yungang wanted to say was directly stuffed back by Ai Xue, he really wanted to know his situation, but when Feng Ran didn't know the details, how could Ai Xue know?

The Eye of the Aether, the word suddenly popped up in Lu Yun's mind, Ai Xue, who had the rarest level of the Eye of the Aether, was indeed likely to know his current situation.

“… Think. ”

"Hmph, then summon your echo first~"

Although he had already consumed a lot of physical strength today, Lu Yun still did it, but the black smoke coming out of his body was obviously not as turbulent as before.

The black smoke dagger in Lu Yun's hand, its degree of condensation was completely inferior to its previous state.

"Whew... And then what? ”

When Lu Yun was about to shift his gaze from the echo in his hand to Ai Xue again, he found that she had already stood in front of him.

Gray hair shimmered in the light, exuding a familiar jasmine scent.

"Hmm~ yes, it's all come to this point."

"Lu Yun, do you know why the black echo is deliberately restricted by the company to its employees?"

Lu Yun shook his head, he didn't know, and with his authority, he probably couldn't know.

"You don't know? It shouldn't be..."

A look of confusion appeared on Ai Xue's face for the first time, and it looked like she thought Lu Yun should know.

However, this did not last long, and soon, Ai Xue returned to normal.

"Well, that's fine, then let me tell you again."

"Wait."

Lu Yun interrupted her, but he didn't want to know.

"My permission level... I guess I can't know, right? ”

Ai Xue waved her hand and said:

"Regarding the information about the Black Echo, the company's open access to the employee layer is not based on the permission level, no matter how high the permission, the information about the Black Echo that can be unlocked is only superficial, and its information is actually only open to one kind of employee..."

"Those, only those with black echoes are contained in their bodies."

Lu Yun was stunned for a moment, he recalled the information that Feng Ran had told him about the black echo characteristics before, those were all fake?

"But don't worry, everything you know about the surface properties of the black echo is true, just other information about it, and no one else knows."

Ai Xue explained with a smile and took a few steps back.

And at this moment, Lu Yun also reacted to one thing, since Ai Xue knew this, it also means...

In an instant, the pitch-black smoke filled Lu Yun's dormitory like sticky gum, and Lu Yun knew that it all came from Ai Xue in front of him.

Ai Xue's figure at the moment was also hidden in the black smoke, and only those light blue eyes could pierce the darkness and turn into lights.

Soon, the smoke gathered, and Ai Xue was still standing there as before, but there was a black cloud around her at the moment, floating in the air, looking light.

"Dark Clouds, I like to call it that, hehe, isn't it similar to your name?"

Ai Xue chuckled, not noticing Lu Yun's stunned expression.

Dark clouds? This... Is it the cloud?

His mother once told him that Yun is a word that represents freedom, unrestrainedness, and wandering in all directions, and Lu Yun's father injected all his expectations for his son into this word when he named him.

But... Today's Lu Yun can't imagine at all, this little mist is a cloud?

And this, is actually an echo?

"Hello? What's wrong? ”

Ai Xue put her hand in front of Lu Yun and shook it, recalling his attention.

"It's okay... Is this your echo? ”

"Well, of course, the reverberation is part of the post-war anomaly, and of course it looks like anything."

Ai Xue's hands rose and fell, and the dark clouds followed her command up and down.

"That's... Can you tell me now, what's so special about the black echoes? ”

"Hmm~ Do you know assimilation?"

"Of course."

As a containee, Lu Yun's first lesson was about assimilation.

"People with black echoes are the easiest type to assimilate among containes."

Lu Yun's heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked:

"Why?"

"Because anomalies with black echoes are awkward, they stubbornly don't want other consciousness or obsession to intrude on them, whether as aborigines or outsiders."

"If a containment with multiple other types of reverberations in their body were to attempt a black reverberation anomaly, it would most likely..."

Ai Xue spread her hands and made a gesture of fangs and claws.

"It will be assimilated~"

"What about the black anomaly in the body?"

Lu Yun was puzzled, because he didn't have any strange reaction when he tried to contain the noisy nightingale.

"If you are weaker than you, then you will be fine, but if it is strong, it will be dangerous."

"So, now that you can't touch the left arm of any other kind of anomaly, in a way, it's a kind of protection."

Sure enough, Ai Xue already knew about Lu Yun's left arm, or if this highest-level Aether Eye couldn't find it, it would be a strange thing.

Lu Yun looked at his left arm and couldn't help but recall the appearance of the black and white man.

"In addition, the containment of black echoing anomalies also requires high qualifications, not only must there be obsessions, but also there must be only one, once contained, it cannot be changed, and if it is shaken, it will be assimilated immediately."

Lu Yun felt incredible, since it was so dangerous, why could Ai Xue still act like a nobody?

"Well, it's easier to do than to hear, after containing an anomaly and being able to evoke reverberations, people will always be affected by their containment."

"Red passion, deep blue curiosity, green kindness, purple decisiveness..."

Ai Xue crossed her fingers and counted the characteristics of the various echoes.

"As for the black... It's indifference. ”

"Apathy?"

Lu Yun didn't feel this way, and he himself thought that his personality hadn't changed much before and after he had taken in George.

"Of course, it's not that you don't have the indifference of emotions and desires, but it means that you will be dull in your feelings about those things except for everything related to your obsessions."

"Like other people's provocations, favorites, and jealousy, as long as they don't have a deep impact on your obsessions, then you can not pay attention to them."

"That's why black echoes are easy to assimilate, but obsession is also the most stable."

After listening to this, Lu Yun was silent for a while, he was thinking about a question, if the black echo would make the containee only have a normal degree of reaction to the obsession in his heart, then...

Why has he been like this since he was a child?
