Chapter 2823 Indulgence

With Yae and Sae's sisters returning to the underworld, everything that happened in Minakamura came to an end. After that, Shizuku completely destroyed Minakami Village's Underworld Gate just like Heyomuro Mansion, and then left the ruined village with the others.

At this time, four days had passed since the Tiancang sisters disappeared. Their mother was in a state of dismay, and the police launched a search. Fortunately, the two finally returned safely.

Of course, for the sake of convenience, the final statement of the two sisters is that they accidentally lost their way in the mountains, and then they met two hikers, Hinasaki Crimson and Shizuku, and rescued them... Well, Not strictly speaking wrong.

Seeing the two sisters leaving with their mother, Hinasaki Crimson seemed a little uneasy.

"Sister Shizuku...is this really okay?"

"What did you say?"

Shizuku seemed very calm, without any change.

"It's just... Tian Cang Yu jumped off the cliff on purpose to make his sister feel guilty so that she would always be by his side... It's not right to do so."

"So what are you going to do? Tell Amakura Mio the truth? Do you think she will believe it?"

"this……………"

Facing Shizuku's rhetorical question, Hinasaki Crimson was also speechless for a moment, while Shizuku shrugged.

"It's hard for an upright official to decide on family affairs. This is a family matter, so we outsiders should not meddle in it."

While talking, Shizuku patted Hinasaki's crimson shoulder.

"Okay, let's go home. I'll tell you what I encountered in Yejian Mountain. It's more troublesome than Jieshen Village."

When the two returned to the office, it was already two hours later, and Hinasaki Shenhong also learned from Shizuku what happened to Ye Jianshan, and she couldn't help being surprised.

"Will the world... kill people?"

"Strictly speaking, this is not called killing."

Shizuku sat back on the chair and shook her head.

"There is an old saying that heaven and earth are not benevolent and treat all things as grass dogs. Of course, there are different interpretations of this sentence. One explanation says that this sentence means that God is not benevolent, but treats all things in the world as its own. Sacrifice. Another way of saying is that heaven and earth are fair, regardless of whether humans, dogs, pigs or dogs are treated equally. But no matter which one, the basic point remains the same. You should not think of the world order as an existence with self-will and emotions, but think of It just wants to be a machine."

"A machine...?"

Hinasaki Crimson poured a cup of tea, looked at Shizuku curiously, and Shizuku nodded.

"That's right, the whole world is a big machine that runs automatically. It doesn't care about your reasons or difficulties. It just runs according to the way it has been set. Anyone who is overwhelmed and stands in front of it , will be crushed...it's actually that simple."

"I've never thought of such a thing..."

Hinasaki Crimson was stunned when she heard Shizuku's explanation, but she quickly changed the subject.

"By the way, sister Shizuku, I want to ask you a question."

"Huh? What's the problem?"

"Since there are ghosts and ghosts in this world, are there monsters?"

It has to be said that Hinasaki Crimson has had this question for a long time, but before that, she has been troubled by her family's history, and she is not in the mood to think about it. Now my great-grandmother has fulfilled her wish, and she and her twin sister both turned into butterflies and flew into the underworld, and the gate of the underworld was destroyed again. Hina Saki Crimson felt that the burden of the family on her body was also gone, so now she is also curious like an ordinary girl.

"Monsters...should exist, but I haven't seen them."

"Hey? Shizuku sister, haven't you seen it?"

Hearing Shizuku's answer, Hinasaki Scarlet couldn't help being surprised. In her opinion, with Shizuku's ability, it should be easy to deal with monsters, but she didn't expect Shizuku to have never seen a monster?

"I have felt a monster, but no monster dared to appear in front of me."

Facing Hinasaki Crimson's question, Shizuku shook her head. She exudes the undead aura of Frostmourne and the majesty of the Time Dragon at the same time. No matter what kind of monsters, ghosts and ghosts, as long as they feel this aura, they will immediately pee in fright and run away.

It can be said that within a few kilometers around Shizuku as the center, it is a forbidden area for all demons and ghosts. Just like there will never be any monsters who dare to challenge the authority of the dragon on the mountain occupied by the dragon. Even if there are some monsters and monsters here, when Shizuku comes here, he will be scared to death, and run as far as possible. Far.

Of course, there are exceptions——that is, when Shizuku reached their lair, the wraiths and evil spirits had no way to retreat, so they could only fight desperately.

This is the case with the ice room mansion, the haunted doll mansion, and Minakami village. It's not that those evil spirits don't want to run away, but that they are ground-bound spirits, and they can't escape even if they want to. But monsters are different. Although monsters and monsters also have territories, their degree of freedom is much higher than those of the wraiths who are bound to the original land. It is not shameful for monsters to sneak away when the opportunity is not good. matter.

If it was in another world, maybe Fang Zheng would restrain himself a bit. But this world is different, there are countless kinds of ghosts and monsters, and the number of them is as annoying as the number of mosquitoes in a house without screens and mosquito nets in summer. If he didn't have Longwei and Necromancer halos on, those mosquitoes alone would have annoyed him to death.

"Patter."

Sitting back behind the desk again, Shizuku turned on the TV, and soon, the sound of variety shows appeared on the TV.

"...Welcome everyone to watch the Psionic Dojo...!!"

"Haha...these boring shows again."

Seeing this scene, Shizuku rolled her eyes helplessly. Just as the media in the Cthulhu world are keen to report all kinds of strange events, the media in this world are also quite enthusiastic about psionic ghosts and the like. For example, there are psychic competitions, psychic appraisal programs everywhere, and the popularity is comparable to the various reality talent shows released by various TV stations after Super Girl became popular back then...

But from Shizuku's point of view, it was boring.

But right now, what is being broadcast on the show is still a debate on the old-fashioned topic of "whether psychic abilities exist".

"Oh, spiritual power or something, it's just a deceptive thing."

A middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes sat in the guest seat, expressing his opinions loudly.

"Those people are just a bunch of liars. They say they can see the past and the future, see guardian spirits, and talk to the dead. They are all lies! They are all illusions!"

"What a liar, it's really ugly!"

Hearing this, Hinasaki Crimson frowned.

"Obviously there really are evil ghosts and ghosts and people with psychic abilities, sister Shizuku, do you think these people are talking nonsense?"

As she spoke, Hinasaki looked at Shizuku at the same time, in her opinion, Shizuku would definitely agree with her, but...

"No, I think they're right."

"Huh? Sister Shizuku?!"

Hearing Shizuku's calm answer, Hinasaki was shocked.

"Is this okay? You have been called liars!"

"There's nothing wrong with being a liar."

Shizuku shrugged, and casually opened the newspaper at hand.

"In my opinion, it is very unwise for those psychics to perform in the media, so even if they are ridiculed and abused, they deserve it."

"Yes, but many of them are here to prove the real existence of spiritual power?"

Hearing this, Hina Saki Crimson was a little confused, and she often watched these programs. I am very dissatisfied with those on the show who use the "science" sign to criticize psychic abilities, scolding them as liars and magic sticks. And it is true that many psychic users were scolded or left on the spot in anger, and Hinasaki Crimson felt the same way. She felt that if she went to the scene and said that she could see the past, or use a camera to take pictures of evil spirits, others would definitely think it was some kind of deceit...

But compared to Hinasaki Crimson's dissatisfaction, Shizuku seemed very calm.

"Proving that psychic powers really exist, what good is it for psychic power users?"

She silently flipped through the newspaper and asked casually.

"……………Hey?"

And hearing her question, Hinasaki Crimson couldn't help being stunned.

"Is this a good thing for the public? Think about it, if it really proves that someone can curse you at will in an unknown way, hunt you down, and people with this mysterious power are among the crowd, What are the consequences?"

Speaking of this, Shizuku couldn't help but think of the world of the magic high school she went to before. Magicians in that world were discriminated against and feared by the public. Many people even thought that magicians were not human beings at all, and ran around holding the banner of human supremacy Shout out to demand the complete destruction of the magician.

"So, it's better to be treated as a liar than as the real thing."

Shizuku turned over the newspaper again and yawned.

"It's fine if it's just a liar, but if the public really believes in the existence of psychics, how do you think they will treat psychics? Do they still pay homage to us? Lift us up with eight sedan chairs and kneel on the ground Can we shout long live three times in front of us?"

"this……………"

Hearing Shizuku's rhetorical question, Hinasaki Scarlet fell silent.

"So I said, they are treated as clowns, at least they can make the public think that those supernatural stories are just legends, psychics are just liars, and liars will not threaten them. But if they win, it proves that the world is really Having spiritual powers, having gods and ghosts... At that time, it will be another matter."

Having said that, Shizuku put down the newspaper and stretched.

"Then I'm going to take a shower and go to bed, Crimson, good night."

"Good night, sister."

Seeing Shizuku turn and leave, Hinasaki Crimson couldn't help but feel a little depressed. Although she thought her power was not a good thing since she was a child, seeing someone denying this power still made her feel angry. But what Hina Saki Crimson didn't expect was that Shizuku was obviously much better than herself, but she didn't care about these things...

While thinking wildly, Hina Saki Crimson watched the program on TV. After the program of the spiritual dojo was over, she stood up, stretched herself, and then walked into the bathroom.

Then what Hinasaki Crimson saw was the clothes that were randomly discarded in the dressing room.

"Haha... Shizuku-san, really, she threw her clothes everywhere again."

Looking at the crumpled clothes in front of her eyes, Hinasaki Crimson also sighed helplessly. In her opinion, although Shizuku sister looks very beautiful, she is almost the same as Yamato Nadeko. But her behavior style is often like a man, which is informal at best, and careless at worst.

Like taking a shower, she never folds her clothes, she just takes off her clothes and throws them over here. Hinasaki Crimson also felt a little headache about this, although she said it several times, Shizuku obviously didn't intend to correct it. Over time, Hinasaki Crimson has become used to helping Shizuku deal with these trivial matters—after all, this is also part of the assistant's job.

At this moment, Hinasaki Crimson suddenly came back to her senses, only to realize that at some point, she was hugging Shizuku's clothes tightly in her arms, while her face was deeply buried in it, as if she was sniffing something .

What the hell am I doing, isn't it the same as being a pervert?

At this moment, Hina Saki's face was also red, and she hurriedly put down the clothes in her hands, and then she instinctively looked towards the bathroom. Fortunately, at this time, Shizuku had already showered and returned to the room to sleep, and there was no one in the bathroom.

"call……………"

Turning off the TV, returning to her room, when lying on the bed, Hinasaki Crimson's face was still flushed.

At this moment, Hina Saki was crimson, and she couldn't think at all.
