Back on the ground again, I saw the sunlight in the crack of the door, and the chill that I had just drunk from the water of the Styx disappeared immediately. In addition, this time I didn't feel as strong as the first time, and it felt like drinking a bottle of painless liquid nitrogen-

It feels like that. If you actually drink something that is so cold, the digestive tract will feel a pain similar to burning, not just cold. The coldness of the water of Styx is not physical, but it does go that deep in the "senses". Therefore, it can create the feeling of drinking "liquid nitrogen" that does not exist in reality.

He looked back at the other three: they were normal.

In fact, Shang Luo had been wanting to ask, and they didn't seem to feel anything strange when they drank it for the first time.

He asked Wen Yuan in the back.

"Cold? If you want to say cold, there is. But when I drank it, I didn't feel it, and I always felt that something in my stomach was warming it. What about you? ”

Han Xingzhi gave a similar answer, but Lu Liang added:

"It seems to be genuine. I only have the bottled air sea as a gas source, so I feel more direct. I could feel the coldness and the warmth of the true qi neutralizing, and the two forces seemed to be in conflict. But after the conflict, it seems that they will not dissolve each other. Well, it's a strange feeling. ”

"By the way, each of you will tell us about the situation." Han Xingzhi in the back took out a small notebook: "Before leaving, Lu Qianhu arranged a task for me, I have to write down the feelings of each of you, and then submit the report." Tsk, that's why you called me, it turned out that there was a lack of miscellaneous people. I'll repeat you again. ”

Han Xingzhi stood on the side: "Wen Yuan is normal, only a moment to feel cold, and I am the same." Lu Liang also felt that everything was normal, but he could feel that the true qi and the coldness of the EITR potion were counteracting each other. Shang Luo, what about you? Since you asked first, do you feel very strongly? ”

"Yes. And it seems that those Romans have to be so 'frozen' every time they travel, and they can only adapt to it after a long period of training. ”

"Tsk." Han Xingzhi shook his head and took notes, "Those Romans are really hard. I'll go back and add some more, and I'll be able to make a difference in the evening. What time is it? ”

"Bah!" Wen Yuan took out the sign and glanced at it: "It's only less than three o'clock!" It's not been an afternoon at all. Why don't we go back to school? ”

Lu Liang nodded: "I have no opinion." Will you two go back too? Okay, I'll go back if I don't have any opinions. Don't miss an entire afternoon, count the absenteeism rate. ”

These are considered problems between students, and it is not good to discuss them in front of "parents" like Lu Huaiyang, otherwise they will have to go back to school. Although the result is the same now, the feeling of deciding for yourself is still different from "I must go back for the sake of face".

After confirmation, Shang Luo at the front opened the door.

Lu Huaiyang stood at the foot of the steps of the glazed pagoda, and another old monk was holding a broom next to him, as if waiting for them to come out.

"Well, are you still having fun?" Lu Huaiyang asked. He knew early on that there was going to be a great experience inside.

Han Xingzhi submitted the report on the spot. His records have been recorded since before, starting with the lighthouse, to the ice cream and Caesar's affairs, all in his notes.

After a general glance, Lu Huaiyang nodded:

"Looks like it's okay over there. Actually, we've worked with the guards two or three times before, but those were official meetings between adults, and the guards wouldn't take us to ice cream. Maybe they don't want to associate work with the beauty of childhood, but you are different, children have no taboos, and they are like this until they are minors. So."

He thought for a while: "Actually, if you want to let you go, we also have an assessment here." Because although the Golden Bough ceremony is important, there is more than one solution to the problem, and it can also be a miracle. But as long as it doesn't bring you a danger beyond your control, then you can go. The experience itself is important. The tentative time is this Sunday, and you can exit before it starts. If any of you have any comments, you can do so now. ”

Several people did not speak.

"Then you haven't spoken, I'll assume that you have all acquiesced so far, Xiao Han, if you really don't want to come, you can't come."

"No, no, no, whoever doesn't let me follow behind my eldest brother, I'm in a hurry."

"Tsk, because of the clay people? You kid is too utilitarian, you make a 180° turn when you encounter a good thing, how can you be like your uncle. Well, it's good that you don't have an opinion on your own. Then the outing is over for the time being, you all go back to your own home, and I will sweep the floor. ”

Sitting on the car back to school, Shang Luo was in a good mood.

[You seem to be in a normal mood? Don't you have any ideas? 】

"What thoughts?"

"That's your father. The others didn't seem to see it was your father, so they didn't feel anything. However, isn't it strange to be so estranged from your father? 】

"Are you inquiring about my privacy?"

[No, I'm exchanging information with my partner. I really want to know, even if you don't want to answer I'd like to know. In return, you can also ask me a question that I don't normally want to answer. 】

"Okay. There's no need to actually swap, and it's not that hard to answer. "Shang Luo does have some resistance. But when he thought about it, he seemed to be more sincere with his partners.

"To put it bluntly, the reason for the estrangement may be 'unfamiliarity'."

[What is the way to describe unfamiliarity?] 】

"It's not familiar. Uncooked. I lacked all the family interaction between him and me, probably because I didn't have any memories of my childhood. My memory started when I was 6 years old, and it seemed to start very suddenly. Old businessman he. I think he should know more than I do. At first, our relationship was quite like a normal father and son, he would take me to watch the sunset and talk to me a lot. But I'm going to have a grudge after all. ”

[It makes sense, after all, the parental relationship can only be established once.] If you call whoever you see is good to you, then it will be the same as Lu Bu. 】

"Yes. I'm afraid that the old merchant was also aware of these estrangements - at that time, I thought that he might have felt that the child had grown up and should let go. Ha, a 6-year-old child, as small as Pea, where did he let go. I guess he had anticipated these things as well, and our relationship slowly became delicate: but it was then that he technically stopped holding me back. He spends almost all of his working time with me, watching me disassemble the alarm clock little by little, dealing with gears and clockwork. ”
