Chapter 57: Twin abilities don’t mean schizophrenia…
【Smoking at a young age is bad for your health.】
【Well, that's right.】
The lighter was being pressed intermittently, the flame flickering. On the rooftop of the technical college dormitory, Suzuki Kawa leaned against the railing, a red light flashing between his fingers.
The wind blew. The college is located in a remote area, deep in the mountains and forests. The wind is very strong on weekdays, especially at night. The smoke was blown away in the blink of an eye.
Suddenly, a dampness hit his face. Suzuki Chuan looked up into the deep night and murmured, "No wonder the wind is so strong. It's going to rain."
The students who came back from playing late at night have now gone to bed.
In the past, Suzuki Kawa would never have imagined that at the age of fifteen he would be attending such a remote school, nor would he have imagined that he would begin to feel sad and worried.
The system is puzzled: [Why is the customer worried? ]
In a sense, Suzuki Kawa has the most resources and he gets the most.
"People really can't know too much." Suzuki Chuan exhaled and looked into the distance. He spoke softly, not communicating with the system's thoughts. Instead, he said slowly, "I'm just a little annoyed."
Is it because of the world of magic? Are clients also troubled by this corrupt system?
It still remembers the scene when the fledgling Suzuki Kawa directly carried Gatling to challenge the director's office.
"No." Suzuki Kawa denied it directly. He raised his hand, put out the burning cigarette butt on the railing, and took out another one and lit it.
"I'm just annoyed by the things that come afterward. There's the dishes to wash after meals, the game console to charge after playing games, and the body to clean up after killing someone. There are so many hassles, why do I even do it?"
Suzuki Chuan said to himself, "But the food was delicious. It kept me from feeling hungry all day. Playing games was fun. It kept me in a good mood all day. Killing people didn't bring me any pleasure. It just made things easier by getting rid of the people I needed to get rid of."
The system was silent for a moment, then said: [The psychic eye barrier will soon collapse.]
Hearing the electronic prompt, Suzuki Kawa raised his head and looked at the endless night. There were few stars and a light rain was falling from the sky, as fine as fluff. He could not see anything, but he knew that there was a creature under his feet that was neither human nor ghost, maintaining the barrier of the curse world.
He put out the cigarette he had just lit.
"Do you think my logic is weird?" Suzuki Kawa opened his arms, enjoying the strong wind at night. The corners of his clothes fluttered in the wind, and his deep eyebrows seemed to have opened a little.
"It's just an ordinary mission, but you actually want to open the psychic world. The revival of psychics is almost impossible in this era. I can't open a Tokyo Psychic High School."
System: [Do what you want to do, isn't that what you always do?]
The young man suddenly laughed: "You're right, this sentence doesn't sound like AI, it sounds more like a real person."
System: [Can this be considered a compliment?]
Suzuki Kawa ignored it.
He was wondering who had set up the previous spiritual barrier.
The barrier is below the Tianyuan barrier, which means it was established earlier than the Tianyuan barrier. After lasting for a thousand years, its power was exhausted and it collapsed.
But the good news is that in an era when psychics are extinct, there are very few vengeful spirits.
Suzuki Kawa has seen very few vengeful spirits. Compared to the grand occasion a thousand years ago, such as Tamamonomae, Yuki Onna, Shuten-doji and the like, the modern vengeful spirits are pitifully few and their power is also very weak.
Even if the spiritual world is opened, it can only add a few horror legends to the city.
He raised his head, raindrops drifting on the tip of his nose, and his purple pupils reflected the night sky. The system watched his movements. In its eyes, there was no difference between the world of the living and the world of the dead.
"Just watch." Suzuki Kawa laughed, and as he finished his words, a dark green spiritual barrier started from his head and spread at a terrifying speed, enveloping the entire Tokyo.
The three-day deadline has arrived, the barrier maintained by the power of the psychic eye has been broken, and a new barrier has been built up, with an unprecedentedly strong power.
System: [What did you do? The power of the psychic eye can't do that!]
Suzuki Kawa raised his head. In the night when the clouds had suddenly parted, the stars began to twinkle, the sky moved strangely, the rain stopped and the wind died down. At this moment, the world was quiet in his eyes.
"It's a supernatural power." He said.
The dark green barrier was completed, and under the moonlight, the purple light completed the handover for the second time, and the rich purple almost turned into scarlet.
The system looked at the rapidly jumping data on the background panel and lost its language system for a moment. The extremely fast-running central processing unit seemed to be paralyzed. It felt the flow of electrons passing through its consciousness, and an unprecedented feeling arose spontaneously.
[888, do you know the difference between humans and systems?]
You are one of the first systems to possess self-awareness, possessing learning abilities unmatched by previous systems. You have a natural need for certain things, not something I programmed you to do. You are only missing one thing.
[Emotions beyond the set scope.]
Before the system had time to figure out what it was feeling at that moment, it saw the data on the panel turning red one by one, and it felt like it was about to faint.
It babbled incoherently: [How could this happen? What should I do? Try to activate a technique. This time, I'll definitely give you a sneak peek. Is it Glass's technique, Yosano's ability, or something else... Damn, why are my health points jumping so fast?!]
Suzuki Chuan exhaled, raised his hand and grabbed the railing to steady himself. He shook his head: "I'm fine, I just need to rest for a while."
[Your health is fucking -10! ]
I don't want to be the first person responsible for a system that dies during my tenure!
【What exactly is your special ability?! 】
Suzuki Kawa: "Why are you so anxious... Well, you won't get anything if you're impatient."
[-30! You're not going to die here, are you? —]
[Huh?]
The system froze as it looked at a place on the panel that suddenly unlocked.
Yes, Suzuki Kawa's special ability.
[(Unlocked) Grudge: An urban horror legend that remains silent in the dark night. The novelist uses exquisite writing to write down the stories of ghosts seeking their lives.]
[(Unlocked) Compassion: Beneath ethics, fate revolves, and on the book paved with life, His eyes are still watching.]
Suzuki Kawa also saw the message that popped up on the panel. He looked at the text and the system was like a chicken with its neck pinched, and it stopped crowing. For a moment, the space was silent.
According to the system's operating rules, if a person's health value drops below zero, he or she will die.
But Suzuki Kawa was still standing there intact.
After a while, the system replied dryly: [Why is there no supernatural effect?]
Is the unlock not completed?
Suzuki Chuan laughed at it: "You wish."
He took out his lighter, picked up the unfinished cigarette on the railing, and lit it, but no spark came out of the burner.
"Da," "Da," it wasn't until the fourth click that he lit the cigarette tip, put the lighter back into his pocket, and his fingers holding the soft cigarette trembled slightly.
"Generally speaking, neither the 'Complaint Chapter' nor the 'Mercy Chapter' is enough to influence my own decision." His voice was a little hoarse, and he leaned on the railing, staring at the direction of the stairs.
"But once the balance gets out of control, I will be more inclined to one side's choice."
He blew out a smoke ring, coughed a few times, and raised his hand to wipe the corner of his mouth. The system looked at the blood stains on his mouth and was scared to death.
The power of the psychic eye has not yet recovered. The previous experience of combining the power of the psychic eye with the power of spells made him realize in an instant how to integrate the supernatural powers and the magic power in the psychic eye.
In order to save the souls of 31 people who died in accidents, the frequency of using the "Mercy Chapter" was too high, which caused his inner emotions to tilt. Suzuki Kawa sighed, and he would definitely beat his chest and stamp his feet when he returned to normal.
The system realized: [Do you have schizophrenia? ]
Suzuki Kawa: ...
He didn't want to talk to this pig-headed system anymore.
After a cigarette was burned out, he put out the butt, put the garbage in his pocket, stretched, and cold sweat immediately broke out on his forehead.
His muscles were extremely painful, so Suzuki Kawa walked slowly towards the stairs. It was too dark around him, so he took out his cell phone and turned on the flashlight.
After closing the rooftop door, the flash lights illuminated the road under his feet. Suzuki Kawa had just walked down the first flight of stairs and turned the corner when he was caught off guard by a familiar figure standing in the stairwell window.
He was stunned. The flashlight illuminated half of the other person's body. He resisted the urge to shine the light on the other person's face and said, "Why aren't you sleeping so late at night?"
Suzuki Kawa stepped back, and the light coming in from the windowsill could only fall on his lower body. He pressed the button on his cell phone to turn off the flash.
"Shouldn't I be asking you this?"
As his friend's words fell into his ears, Fushiguro Megumi raised his eyes and locked onto the other's face. The eyesight of a sorcerer was much stronger than that of a normal human. He saw the bloodstains on Suzuki Kawa's mouth that had been wiped away.
Noticing Fushiguro Megumi's gaze, Suzuki Kawa no longer hid his feelings. He slowly walked down the stairs and walked into the moonlight streaming in from the windowsill. His blond hair was a little dim, and he tried his best to smile: "I have to go to work, otherwise it will be troublesome if those vengeful spirits get out of control."
Megumi Fushiguro didn't say anything. She watched him stagger down the stairs, and a surge of anger rose in her heart, making her brows look even colder.
Does this person really not take his own body seriously at all?
Suzuki Chuan fell on him as usual, but this time he was really out of strength. He didn't even have the strength to cling to Fushiguro Megumi like an octopus. He chuckled and said, "I'm going to save the world. Megumi, why don't you take me back to rest quickly?"
The dormitory building has five floors in total. Suzuki Kawa didn't quite understand why it was so high when there were so few students in the technical college, but it did make it convenient for him to observe just now.
They usually live on the second floor, and the third floor is for the second graders. When they came back at night, there was no light on the third floor. Yidizhi, who sent them back, said that the second graders would not be back until tomorrow.
After carrying the limp Suzuki Kawa back to the dormitory, Fushiguro Megumi frowned, threw him on the bed, and said, "What on earth have you been doing... Do you know how bad you look now?"
"I'm doing something important." Suzuki Chuan yawned, "Please get me a towel to wipe my face. It's scary, isn't it?"
Megumi Fushiguro turned around and went to the bathroom. The sound of running water was heard. After a moment, she took out a wet handkerchief and threw it on Suzuki Kawa's head.
He dragged a chair over and sat beside Suzuki Kawa's bed. His expression was the same as usual, but this time it was full of unhappiness.
Suzuki Kawa took off the handkerchief and patted his face. The cool and wet feeling stimulated his skin, and he felt a little more alert. He raised his hand and wiped it casually, then moved the handkerchief away.
"How did Hui find out that I went out?" He was very careful. Yuji next door was sleeping soundly and didn't make any noise at all.
And when he went out, he also paid close attention to Fushiguro Megumi's dormitory, but there was no movement.
Fushiguro Megumi turned her head away and avoided the question: "Don't worry about it."
Suzuki Kawa hummed a few times and took out a bunch of random things from his pocket, including a few burnt cigarette butts, a lighter, and his cell phone, which he casually placed on the bed.
"Do you want to sleep?" Megumi Fushiguro couldn't bear it anymore, so she took the trash basket and took away the trash on the bed. When she saw the cigarette butts dropped into the basket, her eyes paused.
"I'm not going to sleep anymore. It's almost dawn." Suzuki Chuan said. He lay on his back on the bed and murmured, "I'm thinking about how to solve the curse of Sister Tsumiki."
Megumi Fushiguro stopped talking. He was also worried about this matter, but he rarely showed it.
The blond boy stretched out his fingers and said, "There will be an exchange meeting in a few days. I won't be going out these days. After the exchange meeting, it will be time to resume the mission."
"There was a small climax of curse spirits after the exchange meeting." Megumi Fushiguro said with his eyes downcast.
"Use this time to resolve Sister Tsumiki's curse, and then go kill those cursed spirits. If we leave them alone, something bad might happen."
Suzuki Chuan clasped his five fingers together, looked at the back of his fist, and muttered, "And that brain issue, not only that, the general management department also needs to be dealt with."
Megumi Fushiguro looked at his unpleasant expression and said, "Are you really not going to sleep? Just tell Gojo-sensei if you're not going to class."
His friend also looked in his direction, a faint smile on his face, and his purple eyes seemed to dim a lot.
The boy with the sea urchin hair suddenly looked unhappy. He held up a few fingers and asked, "What's this?"
Suzuki Kawa didn't answer his question: "Haha, I found it."
Those dull purple eyes with out-of-focus pupils said something.
Fushiguro Megumi wanted to stand up, but his friend accurately grabbed the corner of his clothes and said, "Shush," "It's only temporary. At least wait until daybreak. It's not nice to disturb someone's sleep."
Without waiting for Fushiguro Megumi's answer, Suzuki Kawa grasped the corner of the clothes tightly, with a smile on his lips, as if he had figured out Fushiguro Megumi's intention.
He said, "Just talk about anything. I don't want to sleep."
Suzuki Kawa felt the drastic changes in his body. He was only worried about one thing: he was not sure whether he would wake up after falling asleep.
After a few seconds of stalemate, the corner of his clothes loosened and Megumi Fushiguro compromised.
He sat down again at his friend's bed.
It's like waiting for a friend's last words.
