Chapter 284: Dreams and the Stars
Zhang Su threw back. Muroka looked at the ball that was flying towards her, and she had to hit it with precision.
At first, she thought that the training was for her mother, for the teacher.
Now she realizes that it's for herself, just for herself.
"Baseball started out just for playing and batting, and then it didn't work if it was played accurately, you had to play high and far." Xincheng Meiyu said.
"Then why did it get so complicated later?" Murohua is ready to catch the ball at any time.
"At that time, I couldn't measure how far the ball was flying, so I had people run laps to count it. One person hits the ball very far and can catch it when he runs half a lap. The other person throws super far, and it takes you a few laps around the field before the other person tries to pick up the ball. This is baseball, which has changed from a batting game to a lap running game. In our place it is a lively sport, in other places it is barren. Xincheng Meiyu took the trouble to block the ball thrown by Zhang Su.
Zhang Su felt that Xincheng Meiyu's use of the "anti-wall" skill was superb, and it was already like the level of mental power.
She can simply offset that wall at will to send the ball back, a bit like a pixel game of "Arkanoid", manipulating a small board to determine the angle at which the ball bounces.
After catching the ball back, he flicked his arm and threw it again.
"Cluck-"
On the other side of the forest, there was a sudden sound of birds flying.
A kestrel suddenly flew in and attacked the low-flying sparrow, causing a commotion in the forest.
Murohua and Xincheng Miyu both turned their heads to look.
Bang!
The baseball flying in the air was suddenly hit at great speed, and then flew out high, flying over Zhang Su's head in the distance!
When Xincheng Meiyu heard the sound of the ball, she immediately turned her head and noticed the ball that was knocked away, and her expression was instantly surprised and happy.
"Run! Komuro Hana! Run! Xincheng Meiyu shouted.
Murohua was startled, and immediately left where her mother was standing and began to run in circles around the field.
Zhang Su saw the ball fly high into the forest, because the terrain here is rugged, not far from the cliff, and the ball is likely to fly into the bushes or fall off the cliff!
He quickly turned around and went back, looking at the landing point of the flying ball as he ran wildly through the forest.
"Tsk-" The squirrel drying pine cones in the treetops hid.
Zhang Su took a big step into the forest, and the baseball hit a tree and bounced, then fell.
He jumped to his feet, caught it in the air, and then hurried back to the field.
At this time, Murohua had already run around the field and returned to his mother's side.
Zhang Su planned to use the ball to "touch" the runner, but it was too late now.
"It's a home run, Komuro." Xincheng Meiyu said appreciatively.
"What just happened?" Murohana still didn't understand, "It's like-"
"Did you hit the ball? Just now our attention was on the side. Zhang Su was curious.
"Yes." Shinjo Miyu confirmed, "I won't hit the ball for her, it's Murohua who flew out." β
"I felt like the ball was moving slower." Murohua speculated.
"Maybe it's better to play with the ball in sight, this time with your eyes closed?" Zhang Su said.
"Nope." Xincheng Meiyu strongly refused, "Murohua must be more accustomed to living out of sight, we knew it from the beginning." But now that she is in the prime of her eyesight, why let her go backwards? β
Shinjo Miyu is well aware that Murohua also has her own way of perceiving in the case of "invisible".
But she didn't trust it. She would rather Murohua live like an absolutely sound witch.
"But that's part of Murohua's power, Lady Shinjo." Zhang Su said sincerely, "Why did you let her give up?" β
"Because she doesn't need it anymore." Xincheng Meiyu said.
"Momβwhat if I don't want to give up?" Murohua said suddenly.
"Huh?" Xincheng Meiyu turned her head.
"I know it's good to see again, but it's been a terrible experience. But the experience at that time has also become a part of my life, and I can even say that it is a 'stunt' for people with disabilities...... Mom, can you accept me like this? Murohua said softly.
"Give it a try...... But you must not get used to the darkness for that. Xincheng Meiyu was a little surprised, but she still agreed.
"Understood." Muroka bravely closed her eyes and returned to the darkness of no time.
Zhang Su throws the ball.
Murohua can see clearly, more clearly than the eyes.
The flying ball was especially clear in her colorful blind vision, like a restless object that had intruded into her world of inspiration.
Muroka was so calm that she almost smiled.
The ball's movement was like a splash on a spider's web, and every moment it moved, it tugged at her web of senses, making them rise and fall like waves.
I miss the sounds, the wind, the touch and smell of the skin, the things that had been obscured by her vision, returning in the most perfect posture when she closed her eyes, embracing her nerves with enthusiasm.
She summoned a rampart and made it move, stirring up a fortress the size of an inch, impassable.
Bang β
The ball was knocked into the air instantly. Muruka's senses are so delicate and acute that the slightest mistake can cause deviation, but she doesn't miss it.
In the face of the ball flying back, Zhang Su jumped up, caught it, 4 meters above the ground, and stayed in the air for 2 seconds, which has surpassed ordinary people.
"I think I've found a trick." Zhang Su landed steadily, making a roar as he hit the ground.
She played better without vision, and Murohua was excellent in terms of foundation and development prospects.
At this time, the sun was past noon, and there was no lunch, but Murohua felt faintly excited, she felt that she was stronger and more agile than ever, and her body and mind were balanced in that moment just now.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, Mom!" Murohua was excited.
"But don't think it's okay to close your eyes, you feel an unparalleled sensation during your blindness, you know it very well." Xincheng Meiyu reminded, "But I insist on you opening your eyes!" Sight and colour are also part of our senses and are precious. You can't afford to lose sight of one or the other. β
"Yes, a long-term vision, and at the same time a superb inspiration for a close-up view, this is the complete room." Zhang Su said, he threw the ball to Murohua, "In addition, this ball has really been broken by us." β
"I understand." Muroka catches the ball and puts it away, determined to make it a treasure and souvenir of his life, "I will continue to work hard!" β
Muroka's nature is so likable that even the strict Shinjo Miyu can no longer put on a straight face.
"Let's go, let's go home." Xincheng Meiyu walked back.
"Hmm!" Murohana was very happy and smiled heartily. She loves her life from the bottom of her heart.
Zhang Su and them walked through the forest path, the sun was in the sky, and the last snow would fall in a few days, and then it would be spring when everything was revived. The hibernating Katy, Eupharyn, and Hornet will all awaken.
"It's really secluded...... Xincheng Meiyu listened, and there was not much noise in the mountains.
"Because all the combat power has been transferred to other fronts." Zhang Su said.
"The demons' attacks are intensifying, and perhaps a large-scale attack is coming." Xincheng Meiyu pondered. She has also served on the front lines for a long time and has seen countless kinds of demons.
"The teacher said that the older ones will come in three years." Murohua said.
"Huh?" Xincheng Meiyu looked at Zhang Su.
"Indeed...... Although there is no definitive evidence, the end of the natural disaster is also coming. You have to do everything you can to prepare for the war. Zhang Su said.
"Sure enough, there is also a rumor circulating in our army that the demon-induced apocalypse could come at any time." Xincheng Meiyu thinks.
"But if the news really spreads, it will cause panic." Zhang Su said.
"Just like if the sun is about to explode, some people will think about sending the earth away, while others will think about having fun in time. Even large-scale conscription and strict controls will only make the situation more suffocating. What's more, countless people question in their hearts, or are willing to take refuge in the devil and lead the way for the devil. Xincheng Meiyu said.
"To tell you the truth, I was also thinking, 'If only the big ones hadn't come.' According to our closure plan, if there is no major change in the demon side, we can really close all the gates of hell before 2100, which is the most ideal outcome, and countless people are working on it. However, once the doomsday prophecy came true, everything was empty, and the result was unbearable, so I wanted to make a change. Zhang Su said frankly.
"You're honest." Xincheng Meiyu smiled, "This is a rare attitude. Most people will only repeat the 'fight to the death against the devil'. But the truth is that if we say that the world will end tomorrow, we will have the idea of dividing each other, resisting, fleeing, or taking chances, and humanity will not be able to unite into a rope. β
"It is also this psychological mechanism that can preserve the population to the maximum, and a group of people struggle to resist success, which is the best victory; A group of people resisted and died, other 'cowards' escaped but survived, and the fire was preserved for civilization, and a group of people were lucky, and in the end, fate really did not bring disaster, and these people continued their ordinary lives. This is how genes deliberately provide multiple possibilities in our lives, never binding one answer. Zhang Su said.
"And your answer is to prepare for war, then protect this place, and at the same time find a way out." Xincheng Meiyu speculated.
"Indeed, I will do my best." Zhang Su said.
After that, they did not talk until they returned to the hospital.
Such a person is also suitable for rebuilding a family. Xincheng Meiyu thought about Zhang Su's affairs. He does not treat his friends and partners badly, he will be happy because others are happy, sympathetic to others because they are sad, and have a rational attitude towards life. Isn't Komuro Hana very lacking in a reliable father? And she herself is tired of living alone, and this result is good for everyone.
How can we destroy demons more efficiently? Zhang Su thought about fighting demons. He kept going on in his mind to engage in martial arts-like activities, engaging imaginary enemies, and each imaginary battle allowed him to accumulate a point of combat experience, and gradually liked the taste of crushing demons.
In the afternoon, I played with Saho. Murohana thinks about things in Anxin-in. How nice would it be to play with everyone, sit with everyone on the grass on the sunny slope on this sunny day, and have another snowball fight and build another snowman before the snow melts completely?
After returning to the Anxin Hospital, Zhang Su and Xincheng Meiyu walked away with their own hearts.
Murohua went to play with everyone.
She felt like a glue that invisibly connected the children of Anxin Courtyard.
Saho is not loved because she has done too many mischievous things, but Murohua can get along with her, and Murohua was injured at the beginning to protect her.
And once the Saho who is free from the small group is pulled in, Murohua can be with a child like Yuanori who is easy to talk to, and Yuanori and Natsuki get along, Natsuki's little heel is fried, so there are 5 of them!
True Bow was also a peripheral figure, but because Rey Yang was gone, True Bow replaced the ecological niche of the "senior sister", and it was a bit of a trend of being used as a meal replacement by Saho, so that everyone could be together without contradictions. Otherwise, Xia Xi often contradicts with Saho, and the edge weave is caught in the middle and suffers, and there is no cohesion at all.
"Come on, dog." Murohua brought Pepper over, "I'm not blind anymore, it's time to give you away, out there, there are more blind children to take care of by you, and you'll make them happy, just like you've helped me walk through so many places." β
"Woo woo......" Pepper was sad, but happy that the little master had regained his sight.
"We were together for the last time, for a short while. Take me to Saho. Murohua took Pepper by the hand and let it lead her way one last time.
"Wang!" Pepper walked forward and took Murohana to the vicinity of Ansin-in Shrine.
The shrine is a place dedicated to the dangerous witch Tsukikahime, and it is very dangerous.
Saho was squeezed out.,Now except for Murohana, I'm playing with the older witches.γ
Soraya the Star Witch and Yumemi Edo are all here, listening to Soraya's talk. Soraya is a captive and works hard for the cubs. Wei Teng Mengmei was sentenced to life imprisonment and once taught Saho to make fairy potions.
"I'll have to find a greater interstellar being to worship, at least at the level of a single universe, that can shatter an entire dimension with every blow......," Soraya said.
"What's that?" Saho asked.
"The monolithic universe is a single dimension, a world! There are infinite stars in one world, infinite small worlds, and infinite civilizations. And the next object I'm looking for has to at least have the power to destroy this universe, and that's what I define as 'strong enough'. Soraya said.
"Didn't that thing try to break us up? It's scary. Saho said.
"Yes, yes, so our mission is to look up to the stars and try to send a signal from where we live to something great, and with a small gift it will be able to show me the extraordinary......" Soraya said with a voice.
"What else? Is there anything stronger? Saho was curious, what Soraya was talking about was like opening the door to a new world.
"The more powerful storyteller is that any commentary, revision, and insight can work, acting at the literal level. This is stronger than the previously described cosmic-level creatures. If you want it to live, you will live, and if you want it to die, you will die. Soraya spouted nonsense, and then laughed foolishly.
"That's cool!" Saho was in high spirits, "What about someone stronger than a storyteller?" β
"Stop, that's how she's going to look mentally ill." Yumemi Eto turned to Saho, "Don't be like that, let's talk about something practical." Child, I need a corpse. β
