With the sisters Yachiro and Sha Chong returning to the Yellow Springs, everything that happened in Every God Village came to an end. After that, Dushi completely destroyed the Yellow Springs Gate in Every God Village, just like how he dealt with the Ice Chamber, then left the ruined village with the others.
It had been four days since the disappearance of the sisters. Their mother was burning with anxiety, and the police had launched a search. Fortunately, the two sisters returned safely.
Of course, for the sake of convenience, the sisters said that they accidentally lost their way in the mountains, then met the two hikers, Crimson and Dushi, who rescued them …. Well, strictly speaking, that was not wrong.
On the other hand, Crimson seemed a little uneasy as she watched the two sisters leave with her mother.
"Sister Dushi … .is this really okay?"
"What did you say?"
Dushi was very calm, without the slightest change in her expression.
"That's right … .Tsurumo deliberately jumped off the cliff to make her sister feel guilty so that she would stay by her side …. That's not right."
"So what are you going to do? Tell the truth to Tsurumo? Do you think she'll believe you? "
"This …."
Crimson was speechless in the face of Dushi's rhetorical question. Dushi shrugged.
"Even an upright official can't settle a family matter. This is their own family matter. We outsiders shouldn't meddle in it."
As he said that, Dushi patted Crimson's shoulder.
"Okay, let's go home. I'll tell you what happened to me in Mount Yūken. It's much more troublesome than Every God Village."
When the two returned to the office, it was already two hours later, and Crimson Daisy was shocked to find out what happened to Yue Mian Shan from Zhui.
"The world … .can also kill people?"
"Strictly speaking, it's not called killing people."
Dushi sat back in his chair and shook his head.
"There's an old Chinese saying that goes, 'Heaven and Earth are heartless and treat all living things as straw dogs'. Of course, there are different interpretations of this saying. One interpretation says that this saying means that Heaven is not benevolent and treats all living things in the world as its sacrifices. Another interpretation is that the world is fair. Humans, dogs, pigs, and dogs are treated equally. But no matter which one it is, the basic point remains the same. Don't think of the World Order as an existence with self-will and emotions, but think of it as a machine. "
"Machine …?"
Nestling Crimson poured a cup of tea and looked at Bi curiously. The latter nodded.
"That's right. The whole world is a big, automatic machine. It doesn't care what reasons or difficulties you have. It just operates according to the preset way. Anyone who overestimates themselves and stands in front of it will be crushed … It's actually that simple. "
"I've never thought about this before …"
Crimson was dumbfounded when she heard Yu's explanation, but she quickly changed the topic.
"By the way, Sister Jing, I want to ask you a question."
"Hmm? What is it? "
"Since there are vengeful spirits and ghosts in this world, are there monsters?"
It had to be said that Crimson had this question for a long time, but before this, she had been troubled by her family's history and didn't have the mood to think about it. Now, her great-grandmother had fulfilled her wish. She and her twin sister had both turned into butterflies and flew into the Yellow Springs. Another gate of the Yellow Springs had been destroyed. Crimson Fledgling felt that the burden of her family had disappeared, so she was now like an ordinary girl and began to be curious.
"Monsters … should exist, but I've never seen one."
"Huh? Sister Jing, you've never seen one? "
Crimson was shocked to hear Bi's answer. In her opinion, with Jing's ability, it should be easy to deal with monsters, but she didn't expect that she had never seen one before.
"I've felt monster energy, but no monster has dared to appear in front of me."
Bi shook her head in response to Crimson's question. She exuded the undead aura of Frostmourne and the dragon aura of the Time Dragon at the same time. No matter what kind of monster it was, as long as it sensed this aura, it would immediately pee its pants and flee.
It could be said that the area within a radius of several kilometers with Jing as the center was a forbidden zone for all monsters. It was just like how no magical beasts would dare to challenge the authority of a dragon on a mountain that was occupied by a dragon. Even if there were any magical beasts or monsters here, they would be scared sh * tless and run as far as they could when Grizzly arrived.
Of course, there was an exception. When Pi reached their lair, the vengeful spirits and evil spirits had nowhere to retreat and could only fight to the death.
The Ice Chamber, the Haunted Puppet Mansion, and the Village of Gods were all like this. It wasn't that those evil spirits didn't want to run, but that as earthbound spirits, they couldn't run away even if they wanted to. But it was different for monsters. Although monsters and monsters also had their own territories, their degree of freedom was much higher than those evil spirits who were bound to their original land. It wasn't a shameful thing for monsters to flee when the situation wasn't good.
If it was in another world, maybe Fangzheng would restrain himself a little. But it was different in this world. There were countless kinds of evil spirits and evil spirits. The number of them was so annoying that it was comparable to the number of mosquitoes in a house without window screens and mosquito nets in summer. If he didn't activate [Dragon's Might] and [Necromancy Aura], the mosquitoes alone would be enough to annoy him to death.
* Clack. *
Bi sat back behind the desk and turned on the TV. Soon, the sound of a variety show appeared on the TV.
"… Welcome to the Psionic Dojo …!!"
"Hah … It's these boring shows again."
Seeing this, Bi rolled his eyes helplessly. Just like how the media in the Cthulhu world were keen on reporting all kinds of strange events, the media in this world were also quite keen on psionic spirits and the like. For example, psionic competitions, psionic appraisals, and the like were everywhere. Their popularity was comparable to the various reality talent shows that broke out after the popularity of Super Girl …
But in Bi's opinion, it was very boring.
Right now, the show was broadcasting a debate on the clichéd topic of "whether psionic powers exist".
"Oh my, psionic powers and whatnot, it's just a scam."
A middle-aged man wearing a suit and leather shoes sat on the VIP seats and loudly expressed his opinion.
"Those people are just a bunch of scammers. They say that they can see the past and the future, see guardian spirits, and talk to the dead — it's all a scam! That's just an illusion! "
"What scammers? That's so harsh!"
Crimson furrowed her brows when she heard this.
"There really are evil spirits, vengeful spirits, and Spiritual Ability users. Sister Bi, don't you think that these people are just spouting nonsense?"
As she said this, Crimson looked at Bi. She believed that Bi would definitely agree with her opinion, but …
"No, I think they're right."
"Eh? Sister Bi?! "
Crimson was astonished to hear Bi's calm answer.
"Is that really okay? You're all being called scammers! "
"There's nothing wrong with being a scammer."
Bi shrugged and opened the newspaper next to her.
"In my opinion, it's unwise for those Spiritual Ability users to perform in the media, so even if they're mocked and scolded by others, they deserve it."
"B-but aren't many of them doing this to prove that Spiritual Abilities really exist?"
Crimson didn't quite understand what Bi was saying. She often watched these programs as well. She was quite dissatisfied with how the programs criticized Spiritual Ability users under the guise of "science" and called them scammers and scammers. Indeed, there were many Spiritual Ability users who cried or left in anger after being scolded by these programs. Crimson could empathize with this. She felt that if she went to the scene and said that she could see the past, or used a camera to take pictures of evil spirits, others would definitely think that she was scamming people …
But compared to Crimson's dissatisfaction, Bi seemed quite calm.
"What good will it do for Spiritual Ability users to prove that Spiritual Abilities really exist?"
She silently flipped through the newspaper and casually asked this question.
"… Eh?"
Crimson couldn't help but pause in surprise when she heard this question.
"Is this really a good thing for the public? Think about it. If it's really proven that someone can use some unknown method to randomly curse you and hunt you down, what kind of consequences will there be if someone with such a mysterious power is in the crowd? "
Bi couldn't help but recall the world of the magical high school that she had gone to before. In that world, mages were discriminated against and feared by the public. Many people even believed that mages weren't even human. They held up the banner of human supremacy and called for the complete eradication of mages.
"That's why, it's better to be treated as scammers than the real deal."
She flipped through the newspaper again and yawned.
"It's fine if they're just scammers, but if the public really believes in the existence of Spiritual Ability users, how do you think they'll treat Spiritual Ability users? Are they going to prostrate themselves before us? Are they going to use a palanquin to lift us up and kneel before us and shout 'Long live the Spiritual Ability' three times? "
"This …"
Crimson didn't say anything else after hearing Bi's question.
"That's why I said, if they're treated as clowns, at least the public will think that those supernatural stories are just legends, that psychics are scammers, and that scammers won't be a threat to them. But if they win, it'll prove that there really are Spiritual Abilities in this world, that there are gods and ghosts … At that time, it'll be a different story. "
Saying that, Bi put down the newspaper and stretched her body.
"Then I'm going to take a shower and sleep. Good night, Crimson."
"Good night, Sister."
Crimson couldn't help but feel a little depressed as she watched Bi turn around and leave. Although she had always believed that her power wasn't anything good since she was young, she still felt angry when someone denied her power. But what Crimson didn't expect was that Bi, who was clearly much stronger than her, didn't care about such things at all …
While her thoughts ran wild, Crimson watched the show on the TV. When the show at the supernatural dojo ended, she stood up, stretched her body, and walked into the bathroom.
Next, Crimson saw the clothes that were carelessly discarded in the changing room.
"Haa … Sister Yan, you're throwing your clothes around again."
Crimson sighed helplessly as she looked at the clothes that were crumpled into a ball in front of her. In her opinion, although Bi looked very beautiful on the outside, she was just like Yamato Fuko. But her way of doing things was very similar to a man's. To put it nicely, she didn't care about trifles, but to put it bluntly, she was careless.
For example, she never folded her clothes when she was taking a shower. She just took them off and threw them to the side. Crimson felt a little headache over this. Although she had said it several times, she obviously didn't intend to correct it. Over time, Crimson got used to handling these trivial matters for Bi. After all, it was part of an assistant's job.
But … it smells so good …
Picking up the black uniform in front of her, Crimson couldn't help but take a deep breath. A special aroma rushed straight into her nose. Just by smelling this aroma, Crimson felt her whole body go limp. A strange impulse emerged in her body. She couldn't help but want to hug it tightly in her arms and never let it go …
"Ah — —!"
At that moment, Crimson suddenly came back to her senses. Only then did she realize that she was hugging Yu's uniform tightly in her arms. Her face was buried deep in it as if she was sniffing something.
What the hell am I doing? Isn't this just like a pervert?
Crimson's face turned red. She hurriedly put down the uniform in her hands and instinctively looked towards the bathroom. Fortunately, Yu had already finished her shower and went back to her room to sleep. There was no one in the bathroom.
"Phew … …"
Only then did Crimson breathe a sigh of relief. She found that her heart was beating fiercely, and at the same time, a sense of desire gradually emerged from her body ….
Don't think about it anymore!
Crimson shook her head hard and threw away the strange feeling in her heart. She hurriedly tidied up her clothes and left the changing room.
She turned off the TV and went back to her room. When she lay on the bed, Crimson's face was still red.
Why did I do that kind of thing? Do I like Sister Yu? No … .Of course I like her, but we're both girls … .It shouldn't be like this ….
"Haa …."
Thinking of this, Crimson placed her hand on her forehead and sighed. But at that moment, she found that she was holding something in her hand. Crimson curiously unfolded her hand and saw a white triangular piece of cloth in her hand. That's ….
Why, why, why did I take this back?!
At this moment, Crimson Fledgling couldn't think at all.
