In the smoky room, the three teenagers and girls did not say a word.

"Mockingbird" only cared about smoking vigorously, and with dull breathing, the dim spark flashed and disappeared.

The face of the "Nightingale" was turned away from the side where Marseille could not be seen, and there was a look of disgust.

Marseille's head bowed deeply, his fists clenched together, his eyes fixed on the ground, as if there was some great secret in the carpet and the rose petals and withered branches that had spilled on the floor at some point, and that if cracked, he could get a windfall.

An awkward and strange silence lingered between the three of them, the monotonous sound of the classicist table clock, and the time passed little by little to the ticking accompaniment.

Perhaps unable to endure the almost suffocating atmosphere, "Robin" pressed the half-smoked cigarette into the ashtray and spoke:

"This kid can't do it. ”

"No, no, no. ”

"Nightingale" was immediately picked up, the words were straightforward, there was no room for redemption, and by the way, there was a knife to make up.

"It's so short, it's only that little time, you ask me if I feel it?

“......”

Marseille remained silent, the low pressure around him becoming more solemn, and the tense face parallel to the ground was almost about to cry.

"It's just not good, the first time, who is smooth and smooth for the first time? It's not like you can become a veteran just by making up pictures with your brain. ”

"Can't and can't be two different things, can't and there is salvation, can't just can't, you shouldn't have extra hope in the first place!"

“......”

"You're going too far......"

"It's a fact. It doesn't change because it's too much or not too much. ”

“......”

"All in all"

Fingers clamped the cigarette again, pressed the switch, and a stream of fire erupted from the crystal clear Imperial Eagle Emblem, and after a long puff of hard breathing, the "robin" spat out the depression and smoke.

"You can think that the little brother of Marseille has the qualifications to become a magician, right?"

"It's just a simple possibility, there are also people with sharp intuition among ordinary people who are not magicians, but these people don't necessarily become magicians, it can only be said that they have the possibility of developing in this direction. ”

"Nightingale" said with her cheeks puffed up, with her usual crisp and neat style, it is really rare to explain like this. It's just that the curiosity of the two listeners is not vigorous, and her detailed explanation is in vain.

That's right, the scene of men and women crying in front of them is not something that a teenager or girl has done to be ashamed, but because of the man's physiological problems, stealing the forbidden fruit has become a complete failure.

Let's not say that they don't mean that at all, the strict internal discipline of the "Zì Yóu Legion" does not allow ** to engage in the relationship between men and women, secrecy and espionage prevention is on the one hand, on the other hand, the underground struggle is too cruel, and the time left for the underground workers to talk about love is always too little, under the heavy tasks and severe forms, it is a common phenomenon to gather less and leave more. What's worse is that sometimes due to the needs of the mission, some intelligence agents have to form fake couples to hide people's eyes, and as a result, the fake drama is really done, and there is a relationship when they really have feelings, and they ...... when facing their wives or lovers If you're lucky, you can understand each other, but if you're unlucky...... It's not as miserable as a good boat firewood knife, but for the person concerned, it's a pain and torture after all.

All that aside, now is not the right time for men and women to socialize.

"It's a problem. ”

"Mockingbird" snorted a cigarette and spat out a muffled sound.

"It's already a lot of trouble just the two of us, and now with the addition of Marseille's little brother......"

"I've said it, it's just 'possible', and the other party can't detect the qualification as small as the eye of the needle. ”

"But the probability is not zero. ”

“......”

"You know better than anyone what the consequences will be if someone with the qualification of a magician falls into the hands of the Empire. ”

“......”

The "Nightingale", who had been opposing and complaining, was silent, and taking advantage of the brief gap, Marseille raised his hand tremblingly.

"That...... I'd like to ask, what exactly do you mean by this conversation?"

"Oh, by the way, I forgot to explain the details to the little brother of Marseille. Well, where do you start? By the way, let's explain your part first. Brother Marseille, did you just say that you felt danger approaching, like lightning passing through your eyebrows?"

Marseille nodded hurriedly, even if it was only a dreamlike moment, but he could never mistake the feeling that had been deeply imprinted in his heart.

It was hazy and impossible to describe the details and evidence, but at that moment Marseille clearly recognized that "malicious men and great danger were approaching".

"Listen up, little brother Marseille. There are many people in the world who have uncommon instincts. Some people manifest themselves in gambling, some judge the development of the situation, and some people think about others. But these are really just the sense of 'closest to the average', but to this extent. ”

【m.】

Everyone thinks something is beautiful or something ugly, but different people have different feelings, and the sum of feelings built on a huge base divided by the base itself, what you get is the most average and commonplace feeling. Those so-called "keen senses" are actually universal senses that are always consistent with this average. Those who are considered to be "supermen with sharp intuition" should be called "ultimate mortals" in essence.

"But magicians are different, and although they are also sensitive, what they maintain is not the 'average of human perception', but the 'average of the world', and by maintaining a high degree of consistency with the whole world, they can shake and shake the mana so that it forms a complex structure and produces all kinds of effects. That's magic. And the one who can do this is the one who has the power of the magician to discern the principles of the world. ”

After a pause, the "robin" stared at Marseille, a tentative smile curled into the corners of his mouth.

"At the same time, he is also a person who can 'understand each other without misunderstanding'. ”

People are just a part of the world, and if they can be consistent with the world, they can feel the sense of human beings as a whole from a higher perspective, which is why magicians have sharp intuition, and people with sharp intuition are not necessarily magicians. The two are just similar and completely different in nature.

"Back to the little brother of Marseille, at that moment, what you feel is not the conclusion you have reached after your own observation, calculation, and verification, but the people and creatures around you more or less feel that 'danger is approaching', but most people's sense xìng can't catch that fleeting signal. Instead, you arrive at the right answer by feeling rather than by rigorous reasoning and calculation, by being consistent with the world. That is to say"

"I ...... I have the ...... to become a magician What kind of qualifications?"

"It's just 'suspicious', don't be happy too early, many times it's just an accidental blessing to the soul, and you can't do it. Besides......"

The "Nightingale's" slightly angry expression suddenly dimmed, and with a slightly lonely face, he turned back in the direction that Marseille could not see.

"This is not the time for Charlemagne, and the magician is not only an enviable status, but also a murderer. ”

"To the Empire, a mage is a foreign object that must be removed. Once discovered, there is no treatment for walking into KZ alive. If you're lucky, you'll be killed on the spot, and if you're unlucky, you'll be sent to an imperial scientific research institution, where you'll be dismantled by mad scientists, and you'll study it from the inside out. When they've had enough of it, and your brain hasn't been chopped into pieces, you'll be tossed into a formalin jar to soak it, label it, and become part of a horror collection along with the many jars. ”

Taking over the conversation from the somewhat depressed "Nightingale", "Robin" puts a bunch of horrific stories in front of Marseille like a cannon.

**Dissect;

human experiments;

mass executions;

Incinerator;

soap made from human fat, blankets made of hair, ivory crafts made of human bones, leather bags made of whole human skins, and lampshades;

Every story is crazy and terrifying, and even if it is used as a script for a horror movie, it will scare everyone from the director, the actors, to the audience. But could these things be true? Marseille asked himself, he knew that empires were harsh and impersonal, but these stories ...... It's really insane.

Marseille thinks that this may be a little trick played by the "robin", deliberately using horror stories to scare children to intimidate themselves, so that they can obediently cooperate with their actions. But in the next second, he himself overturned this hypothetical reason? What is the value of letting them make up stories? In order to escape? The mother goddess is on top, and she runs away with a useless burden? There are such stupid terrorists? On their own, the probability of escaping is much higher.

"Maybe you think we're making up a story, and the change of attitude is too abrupt, is it trying to use you as bait to get yourself out. ”

"Mockingbird" raised her hand, stopped Marseille's pale defense, and continued to speak in her usual cynical tone:

"It's inevitable to think so, after all, I just did it to you before, such a scary woman suddenly became kind to you, and anyone would wonder if it would be a yīn conspiracy, or if there was another purpose behind it. This is human nature, and it is still very difficult for human beings to achieve mutual trust and work together to overcome difficulties, even if they are enemies. ”

The mocking and teasing expression faded, and the "robin" calmly asked:

"I'm not going to say things like 'I'm not going to lie to you,' 'I'm not going to believe I'm going to suffer,' and coercion itself can't be trusted until real trust is established. Brother Marseille, please judge for yourself, decide for yourself, and choose for yourself. If you really have the ability to discern the world and understand each other without misunderstanding, if you really have that kind of quality, please follow your heart's choice. ”

Bearing the sincere gaze of "Mockingbird", and then looking at the side face of "Nightingale" turned back a little, the boy who faced the major choice of his second life clenched his trembling fists.
