Chapter 46. Drink poison to quench thirst

"I thought that when you turned away from death, people like you wouldn't believe much in fate."

Hearing the other party's last words, as if unexpected, Rosetta took a deep look at Masao Tsukiyama.

"No, on the contrary, it is precisely because we have briefly postponed the fate of death that we should be in awe of the death scythe on our heads, and accept it gladly when fate comes."

Masao Tsubakiyama said piously and happily like a believer: "Dust will eventually return to dust, and ashes will eventually return to ashes, we are just inferior mortals in the flesh, and it is enough to accept the fact that death will eventually come, and then live to the fullest in the present." ”

Legendary.

Some special reborn people are said to be able to comprehend their own 'destined death'.

It was an end that would one day come that would come and there was no way to fight or change it.

Rosetta didn't know if Masao Takiyama had comprehended his 'destined death', but there was one point in the other party's words, and he had already understood, saying, "Those who come back are all losers." ”

"Well, it's the loser."

Masao Tsubakiyama frankly admitted: "Psychopathy, paranoia, bipolar disorder, and personality defects are the ones who have shaped our beasts from beasts to this way in this society and this era. ”

"People with happy families will not become resurrected, people with happy marriages will not become resurrected, and people with successful careers will not become resurrected." He sighed and said, "Only losers like us, who are more or less mentally flawed and abandoned by society, will have the need to become reborn to make up for all these needs." ”

Masao Tsubakiyama asked Rosetta: "Since there are more and more people like me, then Rosan, tell me what is the difference between the world more than 20 years later and the world more than 20 years ago?" ”

Faced with such a sharp question from him, Rosetta could not answer.

Because of the economic recession and the tyranny of the Rokupola shogunate, the country of Yingzhou has long been on the verge of slow death, and it is precisely because of this that a large number of resurrected people will appear in this country, just like the return of light before death.

The good times of the country are over.

Rosetta suddenly understood the fundamental reason why the Shenzu Society was able to gain a foothold in Yingzhou and absorb a large number of believers.

Because in the case of drowning, people often want to grasp the straw in every possible way, even if it is just their own deception of themselves.

In the sound of light rain.

Masao Tsubakiyama has left the bookstore at some point.

Rosetta was in the corner thinking about the words he had left, feeling the hidden face of the killer writer.

He picked up the books that had fallen on the ground at first because of the actions of the two, and in the end, he didn't stay here for long, but quickly said goodbye to Boss Yue, returned to the apartment with a few books, and sent everything that Masao Tsukiyama said to Anxinin Din by email, reminding her of the danger of Ishiizaki and the things that the gospel medicine in his hand could cause big problems.

When it comes to finding out Ishiizaki, his psionic powers aren't much use.

Moreover, professional things have to be done by professional people, and compared with ordinary people like him, Anxin Yuan has considerable advantages in this regard.

In the apartment.

The record player turned, and the sound of long-lost jazz sounded.

Abandoning those complicated thoughts, Rosetta soaked herself in the water of the bathtub completely, allowing the feeling of calm to temporarily soothe all the desires and murderous intent in her heart these days.

Masao Tsubakiyama is right, his state of mind is gradually degrading in the direction of the murderer.

This is not only a problem of the murderous impulse brought about by the reborn physique, but also a side effect of his use of psionic energy to forcibly enter the corpse dogification and increase the cohomology rate with the blackened rosary too high.

- The ignitor will eventually set himself on fire.

That's the price you pay for all abilities when you use them too much.

Each time the ability is activated, the resurrected person will be brought closer to the realm of death for the second time.

More than 500 days, less than a year and a half, this is the limit of what the vast majority of reincarnated people can theoretically survive.

What comes from dust will eventually return to dust, and what comes from ashes will eventually return to ashes, and the ashes without fire will only dissipate.

If you can't be sure that you can reach the second stage during this time, every time you use too many abilities in those 500 days, it will be equivalent to consuming the remaining lifespan.

And now.

With the rapid growth of a body of strength and technology.

Rosetta did feel the side effects of this psychic power.

Under the influence of the corpse dog and the high increase in the cohomology rate, some emotions that should not have appeared in his heart imperceptibly.

This is the reason why Masao Tsubakiyama said that he is now gradually falling in the direction of a murderer, because some irreversible changes have really become a part of him now.

"It's impossible to turn back." He said to himself silently.

In the current situation, it is impossible for Rosetta to stop using and developing psionic energy, because he knows that it is this power that makes him qualified to sit in the same chess game with Ishiizaki, Masao Tsubakiyama next door, and Ranma Anshuin.

- Even if it's poison, at least it quenches your thirst, doesn't it?

'Bang la la' sounded in his ears like the sound of the tide, Rosetta lay on his back in the bathtub, closed his eyes, with the washing of those currents, his mind was temporarily calm, and all desire and killing intent disappeared in an instant.

-

-

-

"Good night, good night, safe ant river."

In the blink of an eye, time has gone from day to night.

Even Rosetta herself didn't expect that her sleep would be a daytime.

In winter, it was late in dawn and early in dark, and when it was only six o'clock, the sky was already completely dark.

Rosetta was going to find some ingredients from the refrigerator to deal with it, but a senior at his job didn't know where to find out the news of his return from Inari Shrine, so he immediately pinched his meal and came to the door to eat.

For the sake of Reiko Arakawa's strange luck, it did happen to help her several times, and Rosetta couldn't refuse, so she could only make a less improvised meal.

Fortunately, there is one more person, and he doesn't have to wash the dishes himself.

Reiko Arakawa consciously took over this task, freeing him up to flip through the folklore books he brought back in the morning.

As the night grew darker, the hands of the clock on the wall ticked and turned, and time seemed to pass very slowly, but it passed quickly.

Rosetta had hoped that this would last longer, but an urgent message from his new contact interrupted his seemingly illusory calm.
