Chapter 233 Invitation
Kitada Ryuji once mentioned that Sakura Witch needs all forms of assistance now.
Let's use this bit of information as a starting point.
"Miss Tongye." Xu Yang sent a message, "I decided to join this channel because I heard that you need help now."
"Thank you! I am very grateful for any kind of assistance!" Kirino Reishi followed the message with a cute emoticon, which is the default emoticon package that comes with this old-fashioned communication system, and only people who are very unfamiliar with the Internet will use.
Before Xu Yang could reply, Tongye Lianshi sent another message.
"After 10 o'clock tonight, let's use this link to communicate, this channel is still too simple." An identification code followed the message.
Xu Yang checked the identification code, it represents a special area established on a virtual social platform, and this interactive platform needs to be used in conjunction with the simulation cabin.
In other words, in order to enter the platform, people must first enter the virtual warehouse and connect their nerves to the virtual world. The principle is similar to online games, they are all connected to a virtual space with specific equipment, and now it is used by Kirino Reise as a communication channel.
This is also the style that was popular 30 years ago. Nowadays, neural wiring is generally used to enter online conferences directly, with lower cost and better efficiency.
"I will visit." Xu Yang wrote back.
"Excuse me, my concubine will show up on time."
The communication is over.
Kirino Reise turned off the smart screen and fell into deep thought. She actually didn't know what the other party was here for, but she had too few resources and nothing to do.
At least the other party showed a certain degree of goodwill, and I must make good use of every clue as much as possible, and maybe one of them can become a lifeline to change the status quo.
"... Kirino Reishi..."
When she heard the hoarse call, her heart skipped a beat, she got up and entered the side room of the room, a restless box was placed in the center of the glass cabinet, supported by red brocade, the four corners were decorated with gold, and a jade lock was hung in the center, but it was not locked. superior.
Kirino Reishi knelt down in front of the box.
"... Hurry up and find..." The hoarse voice still echoed.
"Yes." She nodded, "I have tried my best."
"You're stalling for time..."
"No no..." Tongye Lianshi stood up in panic.
"...Witch, you don't want Kyoto to die infinitely..."
Tongye Lianshi was speechless.
She silently took out her portable screen, opened a document, and showed it to the box.
"Look, these are the most suitable ones," Kirino Reishi said in a low voice, "They are all strong and smart, I just need to be screened, and I also need channels and people."
A wisp of smoke protruded from the narrow gap of the box, entangled in one of the many images on the screen, Kirino Reise looked over the device, saw its choice, and nodded desperately.
"I understand." Tongye Lianshi said, "I will find him no matter what, and bring him to you."
On the other side, in Nisto Industrial Park, after finishing the communication with Tongye Lianshi, Xu Yang's heart still haunted the image of "her" he had seen before. It seems that a layer of imprint has been left forever in Xu Yang's spirit, the more he tries to remove it, the more he refuses to leave.
This state of affairs strikes him as odd, as is the case with some conditions known as "possessions," in which an individual is blinded by magic and thus develops various lingering hallucinations. It can also be said that individuals are bound by contagious memes, forming an ineradicable psychological structure, a trinity of words, symbols, and images.
Kirino Reishi... To be able to do this kind of thing must have a certain amount of magical power.
At the same time, her characteristics overlap with the monster races of the Archipelago Continent, especially the fox monsters.
Monsters are also mythical creatures. They were originally distributed in Xiahe Islands Continent. Although there are all kinds of strange things, they are mostly difficult to reproduce. After being cleaned up several times by the company alliance, they disappeared completely. All of them were declared extinct as early as 130 years ago.
Most of Kyoto Infinity’s early anime productions were monster-themed, but because monster elements have become less and less popular, this screen material has disappeared for many years.
I don't have a clue for the time being, we have to wait for Kirino Reise to clarify her needs, and the two sides can communicate further.
Before the agreed time came, Xu Yang first distributed the rewards to the members of the Witch Department to reward the overall victory of the operation. In order to avoid comparison and competition, he distributes them secretly.
The first achievement was 102, which took the most damage for everyone and won a bonus of 800,000 funds.
Followed by 101 and Yoshioka Mizuro, they were awarded 400,000 bonuses for their coordination work.
Finally, Gongli Kazama, Qianmeng and Du Qianqian each received a bonus of 300,000 yuan.
After receiving the money, Kazamamiyari was the most excited. She had never seen so much money on the card in her life, and she only thought about such a beautiful thing in her dreams. Dedicated determination.
At this time, Du Qianqian was in Lila's room.
Lila held a file sheet to record Du Qianqian's psychological state.
"So," Lila said, "the heart of the matter is that you don't like 101."
"She has malice towards me." Du Qianqian was dissatisfied.
"I showed an unwelcome appearance and annoying character, and then hoped for tolerance and concessions from others. This is not the first time I have seen this kind of trait."
"..." Du Qianqian clenched his fists, "What do you want?"
"Do you hate 101?"
"Hate."
"Then don't let yourself become an unreasonable party," Lila said. "You are not yet at the point where you can be your own. You must cooperate and complete your own duties."
"I'm very good." Du Qianqian said seriously.
"Try to be like me." Lila pressed her forehead.
"Lila Nisto. Lila Nisto..." Du Qianqian muttered in her heart, but she didn't feel the magic power being used. She looked in the mirror in the room, and her appearance didn't change at all.
Eh?
She froze for a moment, then turned to Lila.
"Your magic power also has a limit." Lila folded one leg on top of the other, using her thighs as a table, and wrote several lines of records on the report.
"But...but it's impossible." Du Qianqian was stunned for a moment, "I saw your skin, and I also know your name."
"When you want to do strange things, don't forget my existence." Lila said indifferently, "This is the same for other witches. Have unrealistic ideas."
"..." Du Qianqian lowered his head.
"He is more than 10 years older than you," Lila pointed at Du Qianqian with the end of her pen, "You need to experience the puberty of a witch alone, endure it, and then overcome it."
"But, I'm very lonely." Du Qianqian sighed, "I...I also want someone to accompany me."
"I was alone for five years," Lila said.
"5 years……"
"It was so painful that I tried to forget it, but finally managed to get it back," Lila looked at Du Qianqian's face, "I couldn't communicate, move, eat, and had no one to talk to. I have thought about all the things that can be thought in my heart more than ten thousand times, and my heart has become the biggest echo wall. I am completely isolated from anyone and society, and I am suffering in absolute silence and a negative atmosphere. I am in that state Rotten, I'm waiting to die."
Du Qianqian felt a sense of suffocation and powerlessness just by imagining that scene. She shrank back, took a deep breath, and hugged her legs tightly.
"I don't expect you to understand that kind of loneliness and depression," Lila continued. "Of course, it is impossible for me to understand your hesitation at this moment. What I want to express is that you will grow through this loneliness." .”
"growing up……"
"The biggest problem is that if you treat loneliness as pain, you will spend more than half of your future life in pain. Even if you have company for a short time, you get what you want, the intense, passionate company you crave , that is also temporary, in more time, in front of more things, you are absolutely alone."
"Then..." Du Qianqian murmured, "5 years, your loneliness is only 5 years, what happened after 5 years?"
"The master is here." Lila stood up, "The boss in your concept is also my master. Since he released me from absolute loneliness, I vowed to serve him alone for the rest of my life and dedicate everything to guarantee His victory. The reason why I tracked your mental state is also to hope that you will not let these thoughts trip you up, and ultimately affect his plans and interests."
"Direct enough." Du Qianqian took a deep breath, lowered his head, and then smiled, "Thank you."
Du Qianqian left the room and saw 101 in the activity room.
"You shot me." Du Qianqian said, "That really hurt."
"I didn't mean it." 101 squinted at Du Qianqian.
"Understood," Du Qianqian said frankly, "You saved my life from the bar before, even if you take my life away in the future, I deserve it."
This reaction made 101 unexpected.
"..." 101 was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt a sense of guilt in his heart, "...I'm sorry, Qianqian, I'm really sorry."
After Xu Yang came, he saw that she was full of energy and healthy, and felt good.
"Here." Xu Yang handed a bearer cash card to Du Qianqian, "After each task is completed, there will be a performance bonus, so don't spend it carelessly."
Du Qianqian glanced at the 300,000 funds on the cash card and nodded slightly.
"Thank you." Looking at Xu Yang, Du Qianqian at this time had no sense of ignorance and impulsiveness at all. She bowed solemnly to Xu Yang, and then left.
"There have been some changes in her." Lila walked to Xu Yang's side.
"It's more friendly." Xu Yang observed.
"It's more advanced." Lila watched Du Qian go away, "This is the ideal state of a witch."
