Chapter 158: Mr. Endo is not in Yokohama
"So... I understand..."
Because he had already been told about the function of this drug that can rejuvenate, Tianyuan looked indifferently at the red and white capsules on the table. He did not look at them much and just slowly brewed the tea.
The tea exuded a faint fragrance. Her eyes were hazy and she picked up the teacup with her slender fingertips and warmed it with hot water. Beneath such slow and measured movements, there was a hint of confusion that was almost imperceptible, yet obvious.
After a long silence, Tianyuan finally tried to ask a question.
She said, "What do you think is the meaning of human existence in this world?"
When asking this question, the girl's expression was still as cold and calm as it had been for a thousand years. However, after really hearing her ask this question, Qian Jianmu felt that although it was a bit difficult, Tianyuan was well protected.
Her time was forever sealed in her teenage years. The thousand years without contact with the outside world was just a long movie lasting a thousand years to her.
Sitting alone in the cinema, biting on tasteless popcorn, history is a butterfly flapping its wings, the wind blows up the sand and drops the ashes of mankind, the spider wants to capture the sun and the moon and weaves a dense web, and the veins of the leaves are the endless flow of people on the streets.
She has never looked at the world from a human perspective. Everything is just a documentary. Life and death, joy and anger have nothing to do with her. What happens in the world has nothing to do with her. Her connection with the world comes from the young man who half-knelt and laughed in the sun a thousand years ago. Now, there is only a promise and a little obsession left to support this world.
like.
It’s very similar to world consciousness.
No wonder she was bound and entangled with the previous world consciousness to that extent. She was as immortal as the world consciousness, and she possessed the same emptiness and clarity that transcended the world as the world consciousness. In a sense, she was confused with the world.
The brief moment of stunned silence lasted only a moment as light as a breath, and Tianyuan suddenly saw the boy opposite him laughing.
It was a very childish smile. Strangely enough, Tianyuan often saw Qianjianmu acting cute, and he would also act childishly, deliberately using his appearance to gain some space for himself.
But no matter what he did, no one would really treat him as a child.
But at this moment, Tianyuan seemed to have really hallucinated a young man who should be of this age.
"I don't know." Qian Jianmu was unexpectedly decisive. His eyes were bright. The cold and gloomy light from many years ago had dissipated unconsciously, leaving only a faint light: "Meaning is the end. The end of everything is only extinction."
In a gambling game, there is an unlimited amount you can earn, but only so much you can lose.
No one can define how much they can earn. The only thing that is certain is loss.
To be sure is to lose.
Once the 'meaning' and 'goal' are determined, the moment of completion will symbolize the death of a certain existence.
"Humans can live without knowing the meaning of life. Humankind has lived for thousands of years with meaningless lives. Besides, isn't death the last meaning that humans can find?"
The boy picked up the cup. Two years of growth had made his eyes longer, and his round pupils were slowly becoming clearer, like the setting sun sinking into the water, with an indescribable awe and charm.
"We're all going to die anyway, so it doesn't matter what we do. Who can escape it?"
Tianyuan looked at him for a while and sighed.
"I don't want to argue with you. I don't know where your reasoning comes from."
The red and white pill was placed in the palm of her hand, and she swallowed it with tea as usual. It didn't look like she was taking medicine, but more like eating a piece of candy.
As she swallowed, after a brief moment, her skin color turned visibly red. Some horrible changes happened to her. Qian Jianmu smelled the scent of death, again and again, but after death, some life force devoured the deathly energy on Tian Yuan's body like a monster.
In contrast to this change is the pain visible to the naked eye. Tianyuan is very adaptable to the dull pain that feels like magma flowing inside his body, but this pain is different. It tends to be more like compression and replacement of bones. She slowly leaned over the table and spoke in a depressed tone:
“It hurts so much…”
The unpronounced syllables slowly dissipated in the air, turning into smoke in bubbles, which drifted away and dissipated bit by bit.
***
Three months later, Tengen, whose guardian was Takeshi Suguru, enrolled in the same elementary school as Megumi Fushiguro and was in the same grade as him.
Although Tianhua and Tianyuan have the same pronunciation, no one thought much about it. It has been a long time since Xia Youjie picked up children. He also sponsored a mother and two daughters named Jiachang to live in Tokyo. Xia Youjie's reputation for being compassionate is well-deserved.
Although Tengen looked very calm and even a little sleepy, Megumi Fushiguro tried her best to take on the good virtue of taking care of her classmates, and the two went to school together until they parted at the fork in the class.
——The two are not in the same class.
Because he was a transfer student, Tianyuan's seat was a substitute, and he sat next to a brown-haired and somewhat timid classmate.
At first glance, he didn't feel anything, but when he really sat next to him, Tian Yuan sensed a subtle and powerful fluctuation of spiritual power.
She gently shifted her gaze to look at the boy next to her. The boy turned his face away timidly, his fingers pinching the corner of his clothes nervously.
Just a person with psychic gifts? Thinking of this, she lowered her eyes and tried to take out the comic book from her backpack.
However, the next moment, she no longer had time to care about this group of classmates, as she suddenly realized that she only brought comics.
“……”Although it is to experience life, isn’t this too arrogant?
At this moment, a hand holding a pen was carefully placed on her desk. The brown-haired boy, noticing that she had been silent for too long, pushed the pencil with his fingertips, then timidly withdrew his hand.
"…Hello, I'm Natsume Takashi."
"Well..." Tianyuan paused and said, "Thank you."
Realizing that he had really helped her, the boy who was obviously treated differently by the whole class pursed his lips and revealed a clear and bright smile.
"Um!!"
…
Oh my...
The little kid is actually quite cute?

"Gin, I want to resign."
Little Tenyuan was officially taken out of Hongxing Palace and handed over to the duo of Gojo Satoru and Geto Gaguru who were guarding outside the door. Amid the cheers of the two and Tenyuan's somewhat speechless atmosphere, Chigenmu watched with satisfaction for a while, then took out his phone to make a phone call.
Geto Xia Yu was drinking a bottle of Coke. When he saw him making a phone call, he raised his eyebrows. After hearing the first sentence on the phone, he spit out a mouthful of Coke, which was blocked by Gojo Satoru's shameless behavior.
Gojo Satoru jumped eight meters with a "whoosh". Even though he was not touched by a single drop of water, he still slapped his body frantically. Then he turned around, took a big gulp of Coke, and sprayed it towards Geto Suguru.
Xia Youjie got furious on the spot and the two started fighting in front of Tianyuan.
Boom boom boom, ping pong, crackle.
To Gin's ears on the other end of the phone, Big Brother Gin even
I thought carefully about what level of war would cause such a commotion.
Are armor-piercing shells and grenades being used?
After a long while, Gin finally realized what he said, and asked back in a slightly confused tone:
"Ah? Resign?"
"Well, Gin, I quit. I want to resign." Chimamu's tone was light, revealing the sense of a worker who takes it for granted.
It was ridiculous at first, but after the absurdity, thinking about the atmosphere of Sengenmaku who usually did his tasks like going to work, there was a moment when Gin actually felt that it was understandable.
But this does not mean that the so-called resignation really exists within the organization.
"What the hell are you talking about..." He was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly heard footsteps, followed by violent crackling sounds, explosions and sharp whistles.
Vodka looked back fearfully, and saw the rare indescribable expression on Gin's face. Gin's Adam's apple rolled, and he asked in a difficult tone: "You are in a foreign country?"
"? Why do you ask?" He took two steps back, then found that Tianyuan had short legs and ran slowly, so Qianjianmu rushed over and picked up Tianyuan, then suddenly took a few steps back to avoid the battle zone.
"I know you want to fight, but you can't..."
There was another loud bang, and this time there was a roar, as if heavy weapons were bombarding back and forth, causing Gin to hesitate and speak:
"You're not going to go to the battlefield and die, are you?"
"ha?"
Chigenmaku called out to Huihara Yu, who was outside asking students to look carefully while mobilizing the maintenance team, and asked a question in confusion as Huihara Yu shouted at the top of his lungs:
"What kind of image do you have of me? Can't I just quit doing this?"
"...You?" Gin asked with a hint of doubt in his tone.
“…I…never mind.”
Qian Jianmu sighed:
"I'm resigning, I have no intention of looking for another job. The information leak in the organization has nothing to do with me, don't throw dirty water on me. I don't know if you believe it or not, but I'm telling you this, I'm hanging up."
As soon as I turned around, I saw Geto Suguru, who had just been arguing fiercely with Gojo Satoru, walking back with a cola-covered face and a subtle expression.
"I really don't understand your relationship with Gin," he complained.
"Is it difficult? Just work hard."
“…It’s not that simple.”
Who can remain calm in front of Gin, not try to resist, and still maintain the aura of a strong person? People who don’t have a negative buff filter really have it easy.

Crazy night.
breathe.
Inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale.
Take a step forward and run forward.
There was a burning pain as my lungs expanded, oxygen was delivered to my entire body, and a cold and numb feeling began to spread to the extremities of my limbs.
I was breathing as if I was dying, and I could hear the almost sobbing sound of my mouth breathing reaching its limit. I was trying so hard just to escape, to survive.
Mitsuyo Kakuta leaned against the wall, looked up, and saw the round moon in Yokohama at night. His face turned pale and he even began to retch.
It wasn't late at night, but there was no one in Yokohama.
There is only fog.
Thick fog filled the air everywhere, and the snow-white fog was rolling. The ominous white color made him feel as if he had inhaled poisonous fog.
'Da' 'Da'
Despair spread across Mitsuyo Kakuta's eyes and trembling, he turned his head and saw an unclear shadow at the corner not far away.
He is so similar to me, yet he is completely different from me.
His legs were stiff and he told himself to run, but at this point, he didn't even have the strength to move.
It seemed as if the stalemate had lasted for a long time, but it also seemed like just a moment. Mitsuyo Kakuta gritted his teeth, turned around, and took a step forward. However, his sluggish body caused him to stagger slightly, causing his movements to become a little stuck.
In the blink of an eye, an invisible wall of air appeared around him.
"Castle in the Air, Locked"
The young man who looked exactly like him lowered his eyes indifferently and used the special ability he had studied for a long time easily, even to the point of being so skilled that it made him angry. Then he changed his gesture and aimed at Mitsuyo Kakuta.
But, but! This action! This action! …
"Castles in the air..."
The young man, who was like a mirror, uttered cold words:
"crack."
——It is his most lethal supernatural power! !
This was an attack without the flow of blood, but it was as if the sound of a soul being shattered was ringing in my ears.
Mitsuyo Kakuta's clear eyes slowly lost their luster, and his body slowly fell. In the strong impact, a bright moon appeared in his eyes.
Cold tears flowed across his forehead and fell to the ground, not wetting even a trace of the soil.
Although I really want to be alive, at one moment I am really, really glad.
Ah... Mr. Endo is not in Yokohama.
Very good.
