Lost Narrative Poetry

Yuigahama Yui volunteered to take the original manuscript of the novel and went to the printing room to make copies, and then everyone got a copy.

They planned to go back tonight, take some time to read the novel, and make comments tomorrow... Zaimokuza Yoshiki himself seemed to feel a little withdrawn, but he had no way to express it.

Will he die?

He must die, right?

The blow just now made him so painful and ashamed that he almost wanted to die... And there were only two people, and they didn't even comment on his work, so the lethality was already so terrifying.

If the remaining two people also joined in, would he still have a chance to survive?

But no matter what he said, Zaimokuza Yoshiki couldn't help but flinch at this moment. This swordsman general who had lived for hundreds of years could only cry silently and leave with a wounded young heart.

Next, Yuigahama Yui and Hikigaya Hachiman left one after another. Soon, there were only two people left in the activity room.

Yukinoshita was reading quietly, as was Xia Ran opposite. The two of them didn't speak to each other, but there was no awkward or uncomfortable feeling. The atmosphere just seemed too quiet.

The evening breeze blew in from outside, and the girl's long black hair was slightly ruffled.

In the empty classroom, only the sound of turning pages of books could be heard from time to time, and time flowed quietly in this silent silence.

"...Sizz...Sizz..."

Until there was a sudden "hissing" sound outside, similar to that of a malfunctioning radio, which was a precursor to the ringing of a bell. The next moment, a synthesized melody sounded, and Yukinoshita closed the book with a "pop" at the same time.

She packed her things and stood up, glanced at the boy opposite, then turned and left the classroom.

He was very chic and had no interest in saying another word, even if it was just a polite and simple "I'm leaving first", he left like that, leaving Xia Ran alone in the empty classroom.

He couldn't help but smile, and stood up and started packing his things.

In fact, we can understand Yukinoshita's mood. After all, no matter who is persecuted like this, he probably won't accept it calmly, right? To be honest, she was actually able to hold back the attack at that time. Instead, she quickly calmed down and thought, and then directly fought back...

This was already beyond Xia Ran's expectation, and she even had an inexplicable thought that "finally there is someone who can fight."

Of course, because the effects of force are reciprocal, a punch will not only hurt the enemy, but also your own fist. For Yukinoshita, hearing her own voice coming from Xia Ran's mouth might make her feel offended or even physically uncomfortable.

However, Xia Ran was also able to do this kind of thing because he had the idea of ​​losing his moral integrity... Otherwise, he wouldn't have thought about it for so long before, wouldn't it be because he couldn't make up his mind immediately?

Although, the reason why I gave up in the end was actually because of the problem of the sound itself——

Not to mention that Yukinoshita was planning to record the video directly, even if she continued to insist on recording, Xia Ran would choose to give up. It can be said that after Yukinoshita came up with that method, he actually lost.

The last performance was just to scare the other party and make the girl retreat.

Because in fact, he did not master such a ferocious voice-changing technique. He just used the illusion characteristics and application skills he had figured out to specifically adjust the feeling of his voice being heard by others.

In other words, although the human ear hears Yukinoshita's voice, if it is recorded by a recording device, it will be discovered during playback that it is actually his own voice.

His illusions can now be played and used with a higher degree of freedom just because of his understanding, but they cannot yet affect the machine and cannot distort or modify the traces recorded by cameras or recording equipment.

So there is no way to explain this kind of thing... As for affecting everyone's sensory experience and causing them to mistakenly continue to hear the recorded voice as Yukinoshita's voice, this is not impossible, but it is not necessary.

It's not like he could be with Yukinoshita all day long, always ready to correct this kind of mistake.

After packing up her things and closing the door of the activity room, Xia Ran quickly walked out of the special building and embarked on her way home.

…

…

Soon, I returned to my home that always seemed familiar yet slightly strange.

Xia Ran sat on the sofa, looked around, and almost out of habit, he took out a compressed energy bar from his private space, tore open the package and stuffed it into his mouth. Fortunately, he reacted in time. So I stopped this behavior.

We have already left the mission world with the background of doomsday zombies and returned to the real dimension. Why should we eat compressed energy bars? Isn’t the delicious meal delicious?

He decisively put the compressed energy bar back into the corresponding inventory, then stood up and walked into the kitchen.

Strictly speaking, this was his official first meal after returning, so he should have a hearty meal... But he wasn't hungry at all, and he still wasn't hungry until now. He just felt that he was not used to not eating anything. I don’t feel comfortable with it either, as if something is missing.

Because of the substantial increase in physical attributes, if he still maintains the daily behavior of an ordinary person, the consumption of energy and physical strength will be minimal - just like after strengthening his mental power, he can stay up for two or three days in a row without sleeping. Also in high spirits.

In the same way, simply going to school, reading, and spending a whole day leisurely is definitely not considered high-consuming physical labor. If he feels tired and hungry at the end of the day, then the physical attribute of 40 points would be too fake.

It is precisely because of this that the changes brought about by adding points appear in all aspects of his daily life with very obvious signs, which can make Xia Ran feel that he is...evolving?

Maybe this word can be used.

After all, not to mention other aspects including special extraordinary abilities, just being able to go without eating for more than ten days, and often going without sleep for half a month without feeling anything wrong is not like a normal human being. .

This also caused Xia Ran a considerable degree of trouble, because the changes brought about by the enhancement of ability values ​​were too fast and the magnitude of the changes was too great, which had a certain impact on some of his concepts and habits.

No more sleeping every day…

No more need to eat every day…

On the surface, it seems that it feels a lot easier all of a sudden, saving a lot of trouble and freeing up a lot of time. But in fact, only those who have experienced it personally will know the awkward feeling.

Xia Ran also understood to some extent that he needed time to slowly adapt. Not only did he need to evolve physically, he also needed to evolve mentally.

It's like turning a monkey into a human, giving it a human body, limbs, and human brain structure, but if it doesn't have the self-awareness of being a human, it's still a monkey...

Just like Monkey eating flat peaches secretly, he caught seven delicate beauties and went to pick the peaches himself. This shows that the monkey is still a monkey. If it were anyone else, he would definitely get a basket.

After eating something for a while, Xia Ran went directly to take a shower, then returned to her room and began to meditate, preparing to end the day.

Not only to continue to increase the mental attributes, but at least to tap out the spiritual potential as much as possible and increase the growth coefficient... It seems that in addition to the mental attributes, the physical attributes also have such a hidden growth coefficient.

For example, if you find a skill method for body training, strengthen it... and practice successfully, then it is not difficult to understand that the same physical attributes will have longer health bars, energy bars, and defense.

Probably because these two basic attributes are the foundation of the body and soul respectively. The values ​​of other abilities are controlled by them, and if they are strong enough, they can in turn drive the development of other attributes.

Xia Ran is not too impatient. There is not much time in ten days. If he uses every minute and every second, he may not be able to improve his overall ability level a little bit. He might as well do it well. Take a break, relax and adjust.

——So as to face new challenges with a better appearance.

But now he really has nothing to do, and he can't sleep. Meditation has become a necessary means for him to relax and restore his mental state, instead of sleeping... Otherwise, the night will be really difficult.

Unconsciously, time is passing quickly.

Until the sudden ringing of her cell phone interrupted Xia Ran from her meditative state and woke her up.

The advantage of meditating compared to sleeping is that you won’t feel so angry when you wake up, and your consciousness can be fully awake in an instant. Full of energy, he stretched, then jumped out of bed, and walked directly to the table following the flickering light of his mobile phone screen in the dark room.

"Huh?"

He saw the caller ID appearing on the screen. Although there was no avatar, the name "Yukishita Yukino" was displayed underneath.

After paying attention to the time, Xia Ran raised her eyebrows slightly, why are you calling so late...wait? Could it be... He seemed to have thought of something, his eyes narrowed, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and two fox ears seemed to stand on top of his head.

"Hey! Thunder monkey!"

He quickly picked up the phone, pressed the answer button, and greeted the other side cheerfully.

"..."

"..."

Opposite the phone, in the girl's room that was dimly lit because the lights were also turned off, the light from the phone screen reflected the girl's delicate profile. It could be seen that she had finally made up her mind and convinced herself.

But just as the call was connected, such an incomprehensible word came from the other side, which made her stunned for a moment.

After a moment, she regained her composure, frowned and asked in as calm a voice as possible: "What were you saying... just now?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, you can think that this is the dialect of my hometown, and it means hello... By the way, at this time, Yukinoshita-san called me for something?"

The guy's voice was as hearty as ever, to the point of irritating people, and his knowingly asking questions was really irritating enough. Yukinoshita gritted his teeth almost instinctively.

After a long while, she took a deep breath and said in a calm and clear voice:

"--Good night."

Speak out! She seemed to realize this somewhat belatedly, biting her lips subconsciously, wishing to hang up the call right away... But a strange stubbornness came into play in her body, preventing her from doing so.

Because if you do this, doesn't it look like you've lost? Although she made the call, it was because she felt that she had actually lost and could not think of herself as the absolute winner with peace of mind.

But these two concepts of "losing" are completely different, and she doesn't want to show weakness in front of that guy.

Probably admitting that she lost was not a sign of weakness in her opinion, but rather facing the facts openly and facing her own heart... And if she just said a word on the phone and ran away, that would be true. s failure.

"..."

"..."

In this way, the two of them remained silent, and no one spoke. For Yukinoshita, who has a complicated heart, this is also a kind of torture.

Finally, the person opposite seemed to chuckle, and Yukinoshita's heart suddenly lifted.

However, he did not continue to pursue the victory knowingly, nor did he sarcastically and triumphantly. Instead, he said sincerely in the calm and gentle tone of the day:

"Thanks, good night."

(PS: My cousin came back with his newborn baby, who was very cute and just out of the moon...then, then...my mother immediately became interested. She asked me to go on a blind date before, but now she wants me to go as soon as possible. Let her hold the child... I... Can you let me have a good New Year? I sat in front of the computer all day today and I don’t know what I was thinking. My whole body is not good... I feel like there is a huge gap between me and the older generation. , I can only complain here)
