Chapter 124: Just Here to Celebrate the New Year for You

Before you know it, it's almost the end of the year.

On the street outside, there was a lot of lively atmosphere silently. It seemed that everyone passing by was looking forward to the arrival of the New Year. There were long-lost smiles on the faces of passers-by who were numb and indifferent in the past.

Even when the end of the year was approaching, Liu Xia still stayed at home alone.

The curtains were tightly fixed on the window sill to prevent a ray of sunlight from coming in, and the furniture and electrical appliances were as cold as ever. If it wasn't for the presence of Liuxia in this room, it would be enough to make people wonder if it hadn't been sold yet. The finished home is gone.

Lucia was sitting on the sofa in the living room, holding a palm-sized comic book in her hand, and was looking at it very carefully, her eyes turned quickly on the book, flipping over it every one or two seconds.

He reads very carefully. Now that his dynamic vision and neural response speed have been greatly improved, his reading speed has also become much faster. It can be called ten lines at a glance, and he only turns pages every one or two seconds. He looked at it very seriously.

Lucia doesn't like reading books.

To be precise, he has no emotions, although he knows the concept of hobbies, he has never understood the essence of such things. The reason why he can read books is to see more discussions about human nature and narrations about emotions.

And sort out the emotional changes of the characters in the book.

In order to draw their comics as ups and downs as possible, cartoonists often portray the characters in the book as empathetic and righteous. Even the villains have moving obsessions and pursuits.

Although many plots cannot withstand scrutiny, Liu Xia never reads comics to read the plot, he just wants to watch more hot emotions.

"However, although the emotions in comic books are very hot, in reality that kind of emotion is really too rare..."

Human nature is a very complicated thing. No one knows what the person in front of you is thinking or what he plans to do in the next second, so people in reality often appear complicated and unpredictable.

Comics, on the other hand, make all human nature into facial makeup. Most of the protagonists have the same warm-blooded and gentle personality, and the villains always have profound difficulties. In this way, readers can understand and quickly substitute and empathize with them.

The most important thing is that it is very simple to design a plot with facial makeup characters, which is convenient for cartoonists to be lazy.

For this reason, fantasy and reality are ultimately different.

Two minutes later.

Lucia put down the manga in her hand.

Brothers and sisters like Kamado Tanjiro and Kamado Nezuko are too few in reality.

But it is precisely because of this that such feelings are so precious, it is worth letting Liu Xia help them.

"New Year... seems to be very lively, but it has nothing to do with me."

Not to mention that he was not very interested in these festivals, but that he has now become a ghost, and it is impossible to go out in broad daylight like this.

Although he still looks like a human being, which is no different from the past, but that is actually because he drank enough blood of Oni Wu Tsuji, which allowed him to skip the level of ordinary ghosts and alien ghosts, and directly reached the level of ghosts. Because of the end of the string, there are not many changes in appearance.

If necessary, he could completely turn into a thick-waisted and thick-shaped alien, but he has long been used to his body, and it is easy to be excluded by human society, so he didn't become like that.

However, even though Liu Xia thought so, that night——

"Happy New Year!"

Just after twelve o'clock, [Two Ceremonies] appeared in his apartment again, with a happy expression on his face, sending blessings to Liu Xia.

"What's up?"

Liu Xia glanced at her indifferently, then continued to practice sword skills over and over again in the living room.

Although his ten-style sword skills have basically been sorted out, they are not without flaws, and his proficiency in sword skills is not very high, and further practice and improvement are still needed.

Therefore, he has been practicing sword at home for more than ten days.

"I can only find you if I have something to do?"

[Two Rituals] Sighed, every time she chatted with Liu Xia, she would always be chatted to death by Liu Xia.

This frustrates her desire to train Liu Xia to know beautiful things, and she always feels that she doesn't know how to get along with him.

Even if she is omniscient and omnipotent, even if she has existed for an unknown number of years, this kind of behavior itself is the same as raising a baby. Without any experience, no matter how much she knows, there is no way to get started easily. I can't exert much ability on my body.

"I'm just here to celebrate the New Year for you."

[Two Ceremonies] With renewed confidence, he said this to Liu Xia.

"...I don't need New Year's Eve."

Liu Xia originally thought that [Two Ceremonies] would only appear in front of him when there were important matters, but he never expected that the other party's intention to come was so simple, which gave him the illusion that the other party's worth had subtly become cheaper.

"If you have anything to do, you can tell me, and if you have nothing to do, please come back."

In all fairness, of course Liu Xia wanted to get more information from the other party, but these few meetings made Liu Xia realize that the other party was the type who would definitely say things that could be answered, but would never answer things that needed to be concealed. , what he wants to know from the other party is the topic she has been avoiding.

In this case, it is no different from seeing or not meeting [Two Ceremonies].

"You...well, then I will order you to visit the shrine with me."

Because of being able to peek into Liu Xia's heart, [Two Ceremonies] was once again overwhelmed by the logic of Liu Xia's behavior, and had no choice but to give him a strong order.

"good."

Liu Xia glanced at her, then agreed indifferently.

But he agreed so simply, it showed his inner indifference, which made [Two Ceremonies] feel a strong sense of frustration, and made her feel helpless like 'this child is really troublesome to bring up'.

After countless years, she became a mother for the first time, but she failed completely.

…………

At two o'clock in the morning, Liu Xia followed 【Two Ceremonies】to a shrine in the north of the city to pay homage.

The current season has come to winter, especially in the wee hours of the morning, when the cold wind roars like a death talisman, blowing past the two of them, bringing a strong wind that seems to have gone mad.

There was no one in the shrine, not even the priestesses who presided over the lottery and wishing could go out to welcome the guests at this time.

So, [Two Ceremonies] Shi Shiran walked to the offering box, looked at Liu Xia, with a smile on her face that was the same as that of a witch welcoming guests.

"Let me play a guest role as a witch, Lucia, now you can make a wish."
