Chapter 156 You are already dead.
Wang Ma Xiao Ji has been in this world for several days.
While it's said to be a few days, the actual timeframe is based on the world's timeline, which reflects the various developments of the past. Wang Ma Xiaoji isn't sure how much time has passed in reality at this moment.
When he first arrived, he met Tsukino, who was still in kindergarten, and then he encountered two mysterious parents, Tsukino and Chiya. Then one night, after dawn, everything changed.
It doesn't need to eat, can't have contact with people, and doesn't experience any hunger or thirst, nor does it feel tired. On its first day in this world, Wangma Xiaoji wondered, "Am I going to have to wait until dawn?" But as it turned out, this terrible situation didn't happen.
Every night he would suddenly lose consciousness at an unpredictable time, but always before dawn, and then when he regained consciousness, it would already be morning.
That way, there's no need to worry about being bored at night. Although Wang Ma Xiaoji doesn't think this development is a good thing.
After all, this is most likely the result of Aurora's manipulation. It cannot be ruled out that this is the doll demonstrating its power to control everyone.
At this moment, Wang Ma Xiaoji looked at Xiaoyue Yehe, who was sitting in his chair listening to the lecture obediently.
This time, after "waking up", he noticed that Tsukino and Chiya had suddenly grown a lot taller, and their family had moved out of their original apartment building and into a new place.
Tsukino and Chiya are now in the fourth grade of elementary school.
Wang Ma Xiaoji stood at the back of the classroom. None of the elementary school students in this class were the type who had grown tall quickly despite their young age, so even standing at the back, he could easily see the entire classroom at a glance.
Tsukino and Chiya sat in the middle.
Although Wang Ma Xiaoji has already learned his real name, he has no intention of changing his address.
A name is just a label, after all.
Compared to the surnames or given names that Tsukino and Chiya are now called by their parents, teachers, and classmates... the nickname "Little Tsukino" is currently only used by Ohma Kokichi.
Just as Wangma Xiaoji had realized after observing for so many days that the writer who was the father of Tsukino and Chiya did not only use the pseudonym "Fusashi Yomei," and even the name he was currently using was not Fusashi Yomei. But this did not stop Serizawa Chie from habitually calling him "Yomei."
That's why Tsukino and Chiya have been used to calling this man "Yangming" since childhood, a name that even now makes it impossible for Ohma Kichi to recognize his real name.
The name Fusashi Yomei must have had a special meaning for Yomei and Chie Minoru, the lovers... perhaps it was the name they used when they first met?
This family is truly amazing.
Wang Ma Xiaoji gradually began to understand why Tsukino and Chiya had grown up to look like the people in his memory.
Although he is still in fourth grade and his every move is still immature, he has already begun to show some signs of his future.
He is slowly transforming into the familiar version of himself.
This discovery gave Wang Ma Xiaoji a strange, indescribable feeling, as if he had learned about this person's past in a certain way...
In short, Tsukino and Chiya's past truly surprised Ohma Kokichi.
Family... Wang Ma Xiaoji also had family.
Those were members of an organization called "DICE". But now, Wang Ma Xiaoji has no idea what happened to them, or whether he will ever be able to return to the world he originally belonged to.
However, Ouma Kokichi isn't the type to let past events hold him back; otherwise, he wouldn't have become the head of the "DICE" organization and the "Ultimate Leader." Indecisiveness is not something a good leader should possess.
Within the DICE organization, there are quite a few members with unusual pasts. Each one has their own unique story, and before Aurora brought him here, Ohma Kokichi had indeed made various interesting guesses about Tsukino and Chiya's past.
However, as it turns out, his guess was quite wrong.
Tch, why isn't Tsukino an alien? What a shame.
However, when it comes to changes...
Tsukino and Chiya's elementary school life was very ordinary, normal, happy, and joyful. After a few classes, the children welcomed their much-anticipated physical education class. In class, the teacher organized the elementary school students to play a classic dodgeball game. Tsukino and Chiya were eliminated after only a few rounds... Ohma Kokichi knew very well about Tsukino and Chiya's athletic talent, and their current performance was clearly a sign of them holding back and going through the motions, and doing so so subtly that no one noticed anything amiss.
If I had to pinpoint the only flaw...
"Serizawa, you were actually slacking off just now, weren't you? You weren't even paying attention!"
After Tsukino and Chiya finished their matches and stood aside, a classmate who had also been eliminated came over and asked them a very straightforward question.
"Why? Don't you want to win?"
Why would you think that?
Tsukino and Chiya's faces were expressionless, which perfectly matched the flawless expression in Ohma Kokichi's memory.
"I... well, it was just a genuine accident."
Although he quickly realized it, he wasn't quite used to the "Eto" verbal tic yet. Ouma Kokichi immediately noticed this and began to wonder if it was a dark chapter in Kozuki's past.
Hmm, her expression, tone, and the future are all the same, so if you're going to point out any flaws...
What's wrong with you?
Seeing Tsukino and Chiya's reactions, the classmate who had come to talk to him widened his eyes and stared intently at the black-haired boy's face, clearly trying to see some other expression, but so far he had failed.
"But you weren't like this before the weekend. What happened? Did something bad happen this weekend?"
Tsukino and Chiya: "No."
Classmate: "I don't believe you! Are you trying to act tough all by yourself? If something bad happened, you should tell us! The teacher said that we classmates should help each other, right? Hey, Serizawa, what's wrong? You're not smiling at all!"
Tsukino and Chiya: "...No, this, I...you've misunderstood."
"How wonderful!" Wang Ma Xiaoji couldn't help but feel regretful that his phone was now useless. Otherwise, he would definitely have filmed the scene and shown it to Tsukino and Chiya in real life.
At this point, Tsukino and Chiya's ability to control their expressions was clearly not yet fully developed, because Ohma Kokichi noticed that although he was still restraining himself from making any expression on his face, his eyes were completely lifeless.
It's normal for classmates and teachers to be surprised and even wonder if something went wrong by the sudden change in his appearance. However, Wang Ma Xiaoji knows very well that humans are creatures who easily get used to things and are always good at accepting and getting used to things and developments that initially seem novel to them.
As long as Tsukino and Chiya can maintain this, eventually, the people around him will get used to his appearance and even think that this is how he has always been.
So, Tsukino and Chiya started practicing this back in elementary school? Ohma Kokichi thought about it and realized it made sense. After all, the Tsukino and Chiya he knew in real life were only high school students, still quite young, yet they were already capable of that level... Since they started practicing back then, it was indeed normal.
With that kind of perseverance, he will succeed at whatever he does.
Tsukino and Chiya have no tragic past, no responsibilities or burdens imposed on them, and no excessive expectations... No, perhaps there are some in the last one? But not to the extent of "excessive".
After all, his parents were people of that caliber. To say that no one in the Calamity Society really noticed Tsukino and Chiya... that's impossible.
However, during this time, Wang Ma Xiaoji probably noticed something. Tsukino and Chiya didn't care about other people's opinions; he was simply admiring what others thought and his competitive spirit had been stirred up by the adults in his family.
That's why he made that decision. No one forced him; he was simply doing what he wanted to do, gradually improving his abilities in his own way.
Tsukino and Chiya were simply working towards their goal. Everyone has goals they want to achieve, but Tsukino and Chiya's goals might seem a little unusual to ordinary people, so the methods they used to achieve them also seemed a bit unusual.
To be honest, Wang Ma Xiaoji doesn't think there's anything wrong with this. Because...
"You're really lucky, aren't you?"
A familiar voice suddenly appeared from behind.
"It's Aurora!" Wang Ma Xiaoji immediately recognized the owner of the voice. The purple-haired boy didn't turn around, because there was no need. He currently had no suitable tools to deal with the puppet, and since the puppet had allowed him to see those things and suddenly appeared at this moment, it seemed to have other plans and was unlikely to suddenly attack and kill him at this time.
"Oma Kokichi." The doll's voice softly uttered his name, but the words it conveyed were exceptionally cruel, "You should know that you've been dead for a long time... right?"
"Now, I'm giving you a chance to continue living in this world. Do you want it?"
