Chapter 211 I’m Sick (Subscribe)

"When will a person feel that everything in front of him is like a dream?"

Lying alone in bed,

Ryosuke looked through the skylight in a trance, looking at the Milky Way-like starry sky.

It should be when he is ecstatic, unbelievable, or even terrified, only when his emotions are infinitely expanded in an instant, will this kind of distrust between illusion and reality appear?

As soon as the doubts in his mind arose, he thought about it like asking himself.

But sometimes there are some surprises, just like drinking too much water at night, and always thinking that he should get up to go to the toilet at night before going to bed,

And when he wakes up from his sleep the next day, when he sits on the toilet, he will unconsciously think whether he is dreaming now, and if he goes to the toilet now...

Then, people will use various methods to test whether they are dreaming,

For example, the simplest one is to bite himself, let himself feel pain, and let himself feel "awake".

This kind of thing is very common. Ryosuke sometimes had similar situations in his previous life, treating reality as a dream, and then waking himself up through pain.

But unfortunately... this method seems to be useless to me now.

In front of me,

The endless but seemingly within reach starry sky made Ryosuke unable to help but stretch out his palm and bite hard on the middle of his index finger again.

This time he bit harder than the previous times, and the blood flowed straight from the wound into his mouth.

The rust-like taste exploded in Ryosuke's mouth, but it didn't make him feel "real" at all.

I don't know if such a sky is artificially created, and I don't know if the twinkling stars in the starry sky are ultra-high-definition cameras, or spotlights and the like, which are recording everything that happens here and transmitting it to someone, or even some people's eyes...

Alone in the middle of the night,

When the mind slowly clears the extra thoughts and intends to calm down and fall asleep, the crazy and twisted thoughts will emerge from the depths of the mind again and again, and no longer need specific emotions to appear.

Maybe this is a movie called The Truman Show?

Or... is it called Hackers from Another Dimension?

Having seen similar movies and TV shows before, they echoed in his mind. Even if Ryosuke tried to suppress his thoughts, it didn't work at all.

Based on the active ability of his own brain, he could clearly recall every fragment of his memory.

The former advantage became a nightmare at this moment, repeatedly impacting his heart.

This world is actually fake,

I am actually fake, and a series of other thoughts are eroding his mind bit by bit. These are all thoughts that have to arise, and some are based on their own experiences. They should arise naturally.

"Forget it..."

With a sigh, Ryosuke sat up from the bed.

The once flexible thinking has become a defect at this moment, but he has no way to make up for this defect for the time being, so he can only choose to escape.

Two ways,

One is to not let yourself have free time, so that you will naturally not think about it, and imagine some realms that you can't reach at present.

But he couldn't do this for the time being.

Although his body and spirit had become extremely powerful in his transformations, they were not yet at the level of being able to completely transcend the consumption of a living being.

The body still needed to take in nutrients every day, and the spirit would also consume energy during exercise and thinking.

And this consumption needed to be restored through eating and sleeping, so it was basically impossible to stop himself from thinking about random things by not letting himself rest.

And the other way...

Dongdongdong.

In a courtyard of the Hyuga inner house,

The gentle knock on the door was very clear in the silent night.

As a gentleman, Ryosuke naturally couldn't sneak into a girl's room in the middle of the night.

He walked upright and sat upright, and he was not afraid of his shadow.

But the next moment, Hinata's door opened a crack,

Then, an arm suddenly stretched out from inside and pulled him into the house with force.

Without resistance, Ryosuke was pulled into the house.

Then, a familiar but stronger-than-usual woman's scent wafted into his nose, causing him to twitch his nose unconsciously.

"Didn't I tell you not to knock on the door in the future?"

Inside the house, a dim yellow desk lamp provided extremely limited light.

However, Ryosuke's eyesight was very good. Through the dim light, he could clearly see the girl who was pulling his arm, with a blush on her delicate face.

Blushing, Hinata lowered her voice angrily, "What if my father and the others find out!"

Ryosuke looked at her helplessly, "...You are my wife, it doesn't matter even if they find out."

Hinata's room had the same layout as his room, but the interior decoration and layout were completely different.

Compared with his simple style, Hinata's room, although filled with many documents and scrolls to be processed, obviously has more life.

Hinata puffed up her face and pouted her lips, puzzled by his lack of shame.

But soon, she muttered, "Why, can't you sleep again?"

"Yeah."

Ryosuke nodded, "I don't know why, I've been suffering from insomnia recently."

As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on the girl who was close at hand.

The moment he saw her, the random thoughts in his mind had long disappeared like a passing cloud.

Or maybe it was a habit that he unconsciously developed under Hinata's gentle massage.

Beside her, Ryosuke could always calm down and not think about those problems that could drive people crazy.

"Hmph... excuses!"

Hinata muttered in a low voice, but still walked briskly into the inner room.

Ryosuke also walked towards the inner room and followed her.

In the inner room, on the soft big bed,

Two pillows that make people want to close their eyes and rest their heads on them are lying there obediently, waiting to be oppressed,

Among them, the pillow he has been using is slightly wrinkled, as if it has just been ravaged.

Casually moving his eyes away, Ryosuke did not dwell on this.

Hinata had taken off her slippers and got into the quilt directly, yawning, "I'm sleepy, can you not come here late at night next time? Every time I finally fall asleep, I am woken up by you."

He didn't ask if she was asleep, why did she open the door so quickly? Ryosuke got into the quilt very skillfully and lay beside her, "Then I'll come earlier next time."

Hinata covered half of her face with the quilt and replied in a muffled voice: "Forget it, you still have to wait until father and others fall asleep..."

As she spoke, she also leaned towards Ryosuke.

Although they had not yet officially married and based on the more traditional rules of the Hyuga family, they did not make any further progress.

But they were covered with the same quilt, and the thin pajamas could not block the heat from each other.

The occasional touch of arms, palms, and thighs made both of them feel a little instinctive heat in their hearts.

Turning sideways, Ryosuke turned his head towards the direction where Hinata was lying.

"Why don't we get married earlier? Anyway, there are many people in the village who are married at our age. My father's side..."

Before he finished speaking, Ryosuke was covered by Hinata, who also turned sideways.

She stared at him with her eyes wide open, "Sleep!"

"Okay."

Ryosuke replied smoothly with his eyes closed.

But although his eyes were closed, his palms slowly pressed forward to press her shoulders and squeezed her towards him.

Until he adjusted her to a relatively comfortable position, he felt comfortable and calmed down.

In order not to worry his family, Ryosuke did not tell them what happened to him recently.

He always behaved normally in front of his family.

With Hinata around, Ryosuke was able to suppress this unstable mental state very well.

It was as if he would not think that this was a false world because she existed in this world.

A week passed quietly, but Shanks did not come as promised.

And he not only missed the scheduled time, but also extended it for a long time.

However, Shanks did have someone pass the message to Konoha for this situation. The reason was of course that he had not reached an agreement with the Saki family or the nobles of the Land of Fire.

It seemed that they did not believe that he would return to their side after leaving, so the nobles of the Land of Fire were always unwilling to let him go.

And their means of involving Shanks were very clever, specifically starting from his character.

After finding out that he was a man who valued his promises, they kept using this as an excuse to keep him.

And they did not use a tough attitude, but a humble attitude or even a requesting attitude, hoping that he could fulfill his promise, that is, to pass down the swordsmanship before leaving.

Facing a tough enemy, Shanks could attack without scruples.

Facing a sinister coercion, he could also decisively fight back.

But facing this weak and reasonable request, he had no way to ruthlessly refuse, even though Shanks knew in his heart that these people's humility was all fake.

Because the agreement with the nobles of the Fire Country came first, and the meeting with Ryosuke came later, he could only send a message, saying that he might be delayed for a while, and the specific meeting time needed to be discussed later.

"Those nobles are too delusional. Although the cultivation system in another world is a new path, it is not so easy to walk on this road."

Forced to extend the meeting with the top powerhouse in another world, Ryosuke was not anxious, but Hinata Hiashi was a little angry.

He really hoped to help identify the types of devil fruits collected by the tribe through the other party's vision, so as to better distribute them as rewards to tribesmen in need and improve the combat effectiveness of the tribe.

But now it's good, it's delayed again, and the specific time is still unknown.

"The Navy Six Styles that Bruno mastered is only the middle level in the alien world system, but even so, there are many people in our family who can't reach the standard of practice, and they still need to work hard to temper their physique."

In the family's ceremony hall, Hinata Hiashi said coldly, "Those nobles are so good, they actually want those samurai retainers to master abilities stronger than the Navy Six Styles. Are they dreaming?"

The difference in strength and status between Bruno and Shanks means that the upper limits of the two are different.

This also means that the ability that Bruno can reveal is definitely not as good as Shanks, but the standard of practice will definitely be more difficult.

"Not necessarily. I heard from Xingcai and the others that the nobles were asking about the sword system in another world."

Sitting on one side of the long table, the white-haired elder of the Hyuga Yuichi clan replied, "Since it is sword, then those warriors who are not outstanding in our world also have some good skills."

"If the sword of that pirate world is not much different from the sword of our world, maybe they really have a chance to comprehend or understand it."

Sitting next to Hyuga Hiashi, the elder with the highest seniority in the clan also spoke slowly, "Hiashi, don't underestimate the world."

He spoke slowly, but very steadily.

"I heard that Ryosuke thinks highly of Shanks. When it comes to learning, students are important, but so are teachers."

"If Shanks really goes far in kendo, perhaps... the little bit he reveals will be enough to bring about a huge change in the samurai system of this world."

"Sorry, I was impulsive."

Hinata Hiashi did not hold back for the sake of the clan leader's face. Among the people present, except Ryosuke and Hinata, they were all his predecessors, so he admitted his mistakes very straightforwardly.

"Actually... I do have an idea."

At this time, Ryosuke, who was sitting at the end of the long table with Hinata, raised his arm, "If possible, I would like to go to Saki Castle."

"Since Shanks is forced to leave the Saki family for the time being due to his commitment, why don't I visit him."

"Too dangerous!"

As soon as Ryosuke finished speaking, someone among the elders objected, "Ryosuke, we all know that your combat power is very strong, and it is no longer limited to the term ninja, but..."

"After all, he is from another world. There is no guarantee that the guy will not come to the appointment. In fact, he also has the purpose of luring you over."

"Yes!"

Another elder, Hyuga Na, also seemed to be suddenly aware, "It is possible that this guy pretended to give us the right to choose the time and place, pretending to be generous, and confusing us to let down our guard."

"But in fact, he has no intention of keeping the appointment at all, but wants to take over the nobles of the Land of Fire to lure us to take the initiative!"

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this statement was correct.

"Yes, yes, yes, I also think there is such a possibility."

"Ryosuke, let's wait for him in Hyuga."

Many of the elders nodded in surprise,

Even Hyuga Hiashi, who was sitting in the main seat, frowned and thought deeply about this consideration.

As a top powerhouse in another world, and holding the top power, they did not believe that the other party would be such a generous person,

At least in their ninja world, those who can hold high positions are all people with deep scheming, so they are more willing to think deeply about Shanks's purpose and think about the worst.

"Don't worry, I am still very sure about this matter."

But unfortunately, Ryosuke smiled and shook his head, always insisting on his own opinion.

He is in Hyuga, cherishes Hyuga, protects Hyuga, and loyally hopes that Hyuga can grow with him, but this does not mean that he will be bound by Hyuga,

Although there is no such rule on the surface, in fact, Ryosuke has the highest voice in the clan, higher than the clan leader Hyuga Hiashi, and he has the ability to veto all proposals.
